S-off but no perm root? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

the title says it all really but i do not know why or how to fix this any help would be great

After you get s-off you can reboot and use visionary to do a temp root which will stick now since you have s-off. If you are getting errors from visionary search for r13 version which bypasses already rooted warning.

Depends if you want S-OFF or not. Gfree gives you full radio S-OFF, which is much safer than if you only have the "fake" S-OFF from the eng hboot.
Also, gfree gives you SuperCID and SIM unlock too.

I originally rooted using rage, then I unrooted then rerooted using gfree.
gfree is the way to go. use this method.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928160
If you have ADB set up then use psneuters. If you however don't then use RAGE with a terminal emulator.

[Q] Eng S-OFF

hi, i just bought a desire z and permrooted with visionary r12. how do i get eng s-off so i can flash radios? because the guides i saw here said i should first get temp root then push the hboot.img then permroot. my prob is i am already perm rooted but not yet eng s-off
Visionary is not recommended for permanent root because it doesn't work reliably for all phones.
I would follow the procedure listed in the wiki, it uses gfree and will give you true S-OFF.

[Q] Will Visionary still temp-root G2 after OTA?

I have Visionary r10 and I just temp-root my G2 for tethering purposes. Wondering if the OTA will interfere with this temp-root method...
Visionary will not work on the G2 gingerbread OTA
Visionary = devil.

Is there any other way to temp root?

Seriously if you're gonna try to get a temp root on gingerbread, then spend the extra five minutes and make it permanent. There is no app for getting temp root on gingerbread (that I know of anyway) so you'll have to adb to a temp shell root, which would put you 90% of the way done to a perm root. If you're worrying that you might have to send it in or return it after rooting, supercid, or s-off; don't. To return it to stock you simply run the full ruu which would reflash your hboot to s-on put the correct radio and rom on. It took me longer to locate the ruu than it did to return my previous g2 to stock.

No, you need S-OFF in order to root the evo. Which root method will depend on your version of hboot your bootloader has.
