Visionary works fine for me. Did you set the USB to developer mode or whatever it was in the instructions?!
Go to the HOME screen and press the Menu button.
Press Settings.
Press Applications.
Press Development.
Tick USB Debugging.
Now try rebooting, then try Visionary again. Worked for me
This isn't working for me
I been at this for hours and I'm seriously getting upset. I open the app, check the boxes I'm told to check. Hit temp root and the triangle comes up and then it goes away, I'm left with a black screen for hours. I have rebooted, reset, factory reset and done every step over again and I'm still left with the same results. Why is this not working for me? It's becoming a headache.

Seriously don't use visionary, it has a very high chance of bricking your device.
use the recommended guide here it's very safe and not too difficult.
-Nipqer
Yes, do not use Visionary, go with the gfree guide and get adb set up my friend. If u mess up, u can brick ur phone, as said from above. Well as long as u have eng hboot, u can easily unbrick, aslong as u know what commands to put in adb.

DO NOT use Visionary. Its known to brick phones. Do your rooting once, do it right, with the gfree method.
ok so i did the method from the unlockr.com to perm root and get soff..i got it but when i was doing the last step of it when im supposed to uncheck temproot on boot and then press permroot now and it said temproot before attempting permroot..idk what i did wrong but im 100% sure i did everything right..please help
Nevermind.
same thing happened to me. i just exited out, rebooted, did it again. then i rebooted AGAIN, and since you turned off root on reboot, so after you reboot the second time, it shouldnt root so if you go to terminal and type su it shouldn't grant permission. but it did. meaning perm root. so even though it says its not doing it. it did.
in my case atleast.
I figured it out thanks

I am currently doing the Universal Auto Root (linked below), and it seems it is stuck near the end.
[ROOT] ~~~ HTC EVO - Universal Auto Root ~~~ v2.2 (works with all version)(1/10/11)
It says it is currently waiting on the phone, but the phone is at the right area correct? I have the entire command prompt below, but the last line is oof course the issue.

Verified the phone has the newer MTD setup with hBoot Version '2.10.0001'
Verified NAND is locked.
* Using the phone push Power to select Bootloader and then say Yes when it asks
to flash the PC36IMG.zip.
* It will complain part of the way through about the bootloader or radio failing
but should continue.
* Once it finishes it will ask to reboot, say No.
* Use the Volume Down button to highlight Recovery and then press Power to
select it. If it stays on the white htc EVO 4G screen for more than two or
three minutes pull the battery and turn the phone back on. Again say Yes when
it asks to flash the PC36IMG.
* Once in the recovery you will see a red triangle with an exclamation mark,
rooting will automatically resume a few moments after that appears.
It is very important that you do not interrupt your phone when flashing.
Unplugging or turning the phone off while it is flashing can easily brick
your phone. This script will time out if too much time passes.

Did it ask to flash anything?
Yes everything was working fine until that point.
I apparently just timed out of the auto script.
The phone could not be found or was not ready. ADB and Fastboot report it as
'offline' instead of the expected 'recovery'. Make sure ADB debugging is
turned on, the phone is in the correct mode and that you are using HTC's Evo
drivers that come with HTC Sync.

I would of not used that in the first place. You should use adb and flash amon ra to save your rsa keys before gaining root access in the first place. You don't want to lose 4g all together.

ohh, gotcha. To restart it all you have to do is run the openshell file to bring up a dos prompt. From there use 'autoroot makenandroid' and it should pick up where it left off
If tells you your phone is not in the recovery then you will need to go back the the bootloader and let it flash one more time then run it.

You have to be rooted to flash amon ra goof ball.
But it does make a backup of your 4G the first chance it gets.

My phone will now only go to the boot loader, red triangle, and stay on the "htc EVO 4G" screen.
The pc36ing never got flashed. You must do that per the instructions before going in to the recovery.
Also, once you are in the screen with the red triangle holding vol up and power will bring up a menu.

Do you have a sd card reader? You can put the ruu's pc36img on your sd card and flash it that way.
Something else you could try is loading your phone in to the recovery, so it shows the red triangle, and then running the file that says start recovery. If that brings up a green menu on your phone you can continue rooting

Yes I had to put the right pc36img on my sd card. It was a little hard to find a stock pc36img.zip file. I am currently re-rooting my phone, and has already moved farther than the last time.

Try this.
xHausx I apologize for pm'ing you first without posting here originally. Here's my issue:
I was trying to run the auto root v2.3 and now i am stuck right here....
#6 If you have to flash it manually just push Power to select "BOOTLOADER" and say Yes when it asks to flash the PC36IMG.zip. It will complain part of the way through about Boot Loader and/or radio errors and then skip them, this is normal. Once it finishes say No when asked to reboot and use the Vol Down button to highlight Recovery. Then press Power to select it.
#7 After a moment your phone should show a Red Triangle with an Exclamation mark inside, at this point the script will take back over and start to make a NANDroid backup.... ----> and now I'm right here <------
The script window closed and i am stuck on the red triangle screen. I think the smart thing to do for me is to use that RUU. but I'll wait for some feedback i go further.. Also i tried reading that logfile (see attached) and found certain lines where it said Out of memory while it was trying to write to the misc partition. Thanks for the help!
PS: its my wife's phone so she has my evo for now
Also forgot to mention i read the help that big_tiger received but i was also confused on how to flash for that RUU pc36img file.. bootloader or recovery??
xHausx -

I have the 3.7 RUU and can try running that and reattemping the Autoroot but I thought I read somewhere that if I have HBOOT 2.10 that this method doesn't work yet.
I looked through a lot of the pages but so far haven't found anyone else stuck where I am. Any thoughts on how to proceed?
Thanks in advance for all the help my friend.
I got stuck at the same spot yesterday, so I eventually ran the 3.7 RUU to start over.
Now my phone reboots after it's been in sense for about 30 seconds.
I can't figure out how to get it to stop rebooting, also the device cant be seen in ADB.
I reflashed the 3.7 RUU from the exe and from a PC36IMG file multiple times and it still reboots. Seems like something isn't getting cleared out by the RUU.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Hey guys,
I tried to root my my evo 4g with the instructions from the sticky and when I started the autoroot file as it said, it would get to found root then establishing something and the cmd would close out and my phone would stay in the bootloader mode. Instructions said to go to recovery if it didn't continue and I did go into recovery and all it gave me was a black screen with the red triangle and nothing was happening so I pulled out the battery to restart the phone. Now my phone boots up normally and it just freezes up after maybe 30 seconds of use everytime and just reboots and it repeats over and over again nonstop. It won't be recognized by my computers and it just says unidentified with the CDMA drivers not working and the phone does not recognize the SD card when its running and booted up. Please help if you guys know what I could do to make it stop restarting. Thanks in advance!
Try re-rooting via unrevoked. Click on unrevoked in my signature and follow the directions, but first, boot into the bootloader screen (after shutting off the device, simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until the device starts). Look at the top of the screen and see if it displays "S-OFF". If it does, great, you're rooted, bit if it displays "S-ON" then follow the rooting method of unrevoked or retry the method you used. If it does indeed display "S-OFF", I suggest you flash a custom recovery like amon_RA.
posting & replying via the XDA Premium app.
Well I can't do that since it won't recognize the phone through USB or recognize the SD card
Update: I just flashed my evo with the stock 3.70.651.1 rom using a card reader putting the PC36IM something file on the SD card and used bootloader to flash and It's still not recognizing the SD card and it's still freezing up 1 minute after it has booted up and restarts and repeats the loop.
I sorta have a similar problem. I have a rooted evo running CM7 .
trying to use HDMI cable with a 1080p vizio LCD TV. Nothing happens. Does CM7 support the HDMI video out.

can you send me the autorootlog.txt file? that should show what happened to it. And def don't try rooting it with anything else while the phone is in an inconsistent state, that is just asking to corrupt it.
Use unrevoked 3 my guide has all you need links and so on
I like unrevoked 3 easy to root and unroot . All the other programs that work for rooting can make unrooting a pain in the butt. Do what you want you want .
You don't have a recovery installed that's why you get black screen and triangles . Use amon 2.3

Well you're saying there's a difference in how you have to unroot when it's not true. Or at least that I know of, if there is I'm curious as to how.
Autoroot will try to downgrade the hboot to the unlocked engineering leak, if successful it's finished and all you have to do to unroot is run the RUU. If it's unable to downgrade the hboot it will bring up the stock recovery and use unrevoked forever to unlock the nand; when this is used you have to flash the s-on tool (that is left on the sdcard as URFSOn.zip) and then flash the RUU to unroot.
Unrevoked 3 breaks in through the hboot and unlocks the nand through the radio, so you will also have to use the s-on tool and flash the RUU.
You're also telling him to keep trying to root when his phone is obviously in a weird state, that's bad advice unless you want him to end up bricked like a ton of people did when the latest firmware came out.

no I'm not telling him to brick his phone. He doesn't have a recovery on his phone that is what he needs . Just saying if he does end up rerooting at some point he can try unrevoked 3 just a suggestion. My advice isn't bad not new to rooting or flashing. Pretty good at trouble shooting .
Well how do I get a recovery? I thought I have one since I have the option to go there? Gives me a red triangle with a phone under it. Once i mash the volume up and down and power button at the same time and hold it in for a bit a menu pops up to update from SD card or to clear storage and some other options. But anyway I reflashed the stock rom from bootloader and it's still doing the freeze after 30 seconds of use and restarts over and over again. So how do I actually get recovery and what do I do after that to make this stupid restarting of my phone to stop.

I'll need to take a look at your autorootlog.txt file in order to find out what's up with your phone. It should be in the autoroot folder and you can post it by using the 'manage attachments' button, if it doesn't want to let you for some reason you can also email it to me.
edit: odds are you're phone is still locked but it won't hurt to try flashing the recovery, all you have to do to flash it is run the FlashZip script that came with AutoRoot and select the one that says Amon RA - hausmod. That's if it's unlocked of course, if it says s-on or that the security is still on then your phone will reject it.
There you go, there is my autorootlog
I'm not too worried about this as I took the phone to sprint and they ordered me a new phone since they didn't know what was wrong with it and I'll get it today or tomorrow but I just want to figure out what went wrong so that I know what to do if I am to root my new phone..cause this autoroot I used on this website messed up and I followed every step perfectly.
Hello everyone. First of all, sorry if this post is not in the right forum.
My problem is that I rooted my HTC Desire a few months ago using unrevoked3, or at least I think so. I know I tried to do that, but right now I don't remember if I succeeded or I gave up.
The question is, how can I know if my phone is rooted? I have the "superuser permission" icon in my menu but if I run Terminal Emulator and type "su" I get "permission denied".
I know that sounds kind of stupid. I was convinced my phone was rooted but since I am getting the "permission denied" message something must not be working...
Any help?
Thank you in advance.
Boot to recovery. If you have clockworkmod you are rooted
Nothing happens
If I do that, a mobile phone image appears with a "warning" sign besides (an exclamation mark inside a red triangle) and nothing happens. What does that mean?
Thanks.
Easy way to know if you are rooted, is to download an app that requires root and if it works then u are rooted. If not try again

It seems that you could've lost the root access.
To make sure, download any apps with root prerequisite from the market and see if they work (as suggested).
Do Unrevoked again if you are sure that you have lost the root access.
Note:
I will loose the root access if you flash any official RUU from HTC that si why you should better turn the automatic firmware update off.

What hardwarerevision does your desire have? You find this out, when you boot into bootloader and read the number behind the word "pvt" (first line). If there stands a 4, you have to run unrevoked with custom recovery (amonra 2.0.1) again. Reason: unrevoked flashes clockworkmod recovery. But this recovery does not work with pvt4- desires.

Hi again.
I downloaded an app from the market with root requisites and it doesn't work, so it means I lost my root access, in case I ever had it. Maybe I lost it when I updated to 2.2 via OTA.
About what MatDroid said, my hardware version is pvt3, so I shouldn't have that problem.
Anyway, I have tried to run unrevoked again and, after the computer makes my phone reboot, unrevoke gets stuck and displays "Waiting for bootloader, make sure the driver is installed". I have been asking google for a possible solution to that but I just haven't succeeded.
I am sure the driver for my phone is installed, as I have been messing around with ADB in the last week to unlock the "move to sd" option in every app and it worked. Or is it a different driver, perhaps?
Thank you for all your replies.
You can check if your driver is installed in two ways:
1.) Start adb and type
Code:
adb devices
Now the serial number of your device should appear
2.) Connect phone in usb debug mode and on "only charge" and "never ask" to your computer, start windows devices manager and check wether there is the device "android 1.0" or "android phone" or something like that.
Maybe install hboot drivers again:

And conclusive, do not say thanks, use the thanks button.

You can check if your driver is installed in two ways:
1.) Start adb and type
Code:
adb devices
Now the serial number of your device should appear
2.) Connect phone in usb debug mode and on "only charge" and "never ask" to your computer, start windows devices manager and check wether there is the device "android 1.0" or "android phone" or something like that.

It appears in the "adv devices" list and in the devices manager, both. Anyway, I am going to try to install the drivers again, because I still get stuck in the "Waiting for bootloader..." screen.
Well... Aftef having tried lots of things during this evening, reinstalling drivers in different computers and running different versions of unrevoked, I finally got it to work.
But...
Here is the thing... Although unrevoked ran correctly untill the "Done" message was shown, I still have "S-ON" in the screen when I turn on the phone with the volume down key pressed. I continuously get "permission denied" messages in adb console as well.
Before unrevoked showed "Done", I had tu run it a couple of times because it got stuck in "Rebooting to recovery" or something like that. Is there a problem with that? I have been asking google about that and I found some people with the same problem, but they re-ran unrevoked as I did and their problem solved.
I feel that I am really close to getting full root access but still need a bit more help... Thank you all!
With unrevoked you do not root your phone. To get full root access you need to be s-off:

Is that what I need, for instance, to run the "Ad Free" app from the market? Is that what they mean when they say "you need root access"? Thanks.

No. You can run adfree without to be s-off. If there is written, one needs root excess to run this app, you can run all of these apps (the where it's not needed, anyway). Only if there is written, you need to be s-off, then you need to be s-off. But i only remember one app (a game, so not really important). Conclusion: You have the right access to run apps which need root access.
Well, it happens that I tried to run it but my phone rebooted. It made me think that maybe it was due to some kind of root access issue. I'll ask for a solution in some Ad Free thread.
The app System Tools is not working properly either when I try to perform root required actions. In case it may mean something.
Well, it is finally working now. Seems that this bad dream is over. Thank you!

Search market for 'root checker'. Easiest way to check if your rooted or not.
