Rooting/Flashing myTouch3g , downgraded but dont have root - can't load Flashrec - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I'm currently in the process of flashing and rooting my little brothers mytouch3g. I'm at the step where I've downgraded the firmware to 1.5 with Sapping.nbh or whatever it is(dont feel like looking to correct it) but right before I install fleshrec. When I tried to install it I get an error that I cannot. I tried install z4root with it also and got the same error. When I open terminal it is not a root prompt. Issuing su gets a permission denied.
I am following the guide that is on the cyanogenmod wiki, I can't post links but it's easy to find, the first result if you google "cyanogenmod wiki mytouch3g".
I have the 32b variant if that matters.
What am I doing wrong?

[ROM]RUU_Hero_Orange_FR-B2B_3.40.73.2_Radio_63.18.55.06P_6.35.15.14

Here new RUU for Hero
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Her...8.55.06P_6.35.15.14_release_142740_signed.exe
Enjoy!
What language it is for Fr stands for French !!!!
Is this specific to Orange GSM Hero?
stuck up
Using goldcard I installed this RUU on Hero
Should say sorry to myself as this RUU updated the bootloader and I am stuck up and not able to root it again or load any other RUU even though I am using the goldcard.
If I donot use goldcard it gives error of customerID and if I use goldcard it gives bootloader error (error 140)
So not able to install custom recovery or this is not accepting the super user or terminal emulator.
It seems that it has altered the bootloader or partions.
If I run this RUU again it installs fine.
So if anybody has intentions of rooting the device again, I advice that one should not run this RUU and update the device.
Can anybody help me out to bring it back to bootloader and instal the custom recovery.
Or should I say I am stuck up ?

Yes tried this. No help
You can consider my experience as moderate but not expert.
Tried all the known methods to root this but no help.
It is not giving write permission when in adb shell command. Permission denied is answer.
in terminal emulator not giving the su (super User) permission.
I think I am stuck up.
Can any body help ??????????
Will be grateful.
Have you tried to root it using the newbie guide to rooting found in the development forum? I can't link yet, but it shouldn't be hard to find.
I installed an OTA update on the Hero a couple of weeks back, might have been the same update as this one, and I couldn't use VR's batch script to root after that. But I was able to use Universal AndRoot with no problems.

Thanks for your reply.
Tried this guide for sure before also.
But without success. Actually the universal androot installs and gives su access successfully.
But using Terminal emulator and flashing image to flash.img it gives me error in read error ( out of memory ) which I fail to understand how to correct.
I have used this guide before also where it worked flawlessly. But in this ROM I suppose to root it again we need to take something extra.
Can anybody help???????????
You can try to download and install a task killer from the market and kill running applications. Should free up enough memory for the recovery image to be flashed.

Where to start?

Hi guys, I just got a Desire Z and I'm interested in rooting and installing some custom ROMs, but I don't know where to start reading.
Where should I start reading to begin my journey?
I'm on Firmware 1.82.707.1 and using the phone in Australia on a 900/2100mhz network.
I've been reading the wiki but I haven't seen my build number mentioned...
read all the info about rooting here, thats how i started:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916431
or here, for just rooting
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835777
Regarding your specific rom I could not give you the answer but this two are nice readings about "current" (1.72 < + versions) way of rooting
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261
and

I have been reading http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2 as, after trying the method on the Cyanogen wiki, I found I need to unlock my CID.
I get to step 5. "Launch Terminal Emulator, it Force Closes. Launch a second time, and you'll have a root shell" but instead of opening with root shell my phone freezes up... any ideas?
woops scratch that.. never mind!
I have succesfully rooted using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261

[Q] Unrevoked 3 on Debranded HTC Desire not really rooting - SOLVED

Hi all,
I tried to search on this and didn't uncover my exact scenario. My issue is that after I successfully unrevoke my HTC Desire, I can't install BusyBox. I also get errors when I try to run Alpharev and by running adb su on the phone it says I don't have permissions, so clearly it's done something (I have Clockwork recovery now and also the Superuser app) but the root seems to be incomplete. Let me list everything out...
On my Stock Softbank Froyo 2.2 (HBOOT 0.93-0001, S-ON):
- Ran Unrevoked 3. This reported success.
- Rebooted.
- Attempted to install BusyBox via the installer app from market. I went to install to xbin and it says 'The application failed, either because your device is not nand unlocked or we were unable to remount'. Obviously I am not NAND unlocked at the moment.
- Ran Titanium backup. It says 'phone NOT rooted'.
- Ran Root Checker. It reports that the phone is rooted.
- So I tried Alpharev to S-OFF and it reports that the device is found, but then errors out with at: 'can't open `/tmp/cmdline' errors during model detection. According to Alpharev's instructions, this indicates that the phone isn't rooted.
- So, I tried unrevoked again and it says it can't root (system version too new? it says).
Ok, so I decide to debrand by creating a GoldCard and using the latest WWE RUU. This works perfectly without a hitch. So I rerun the above procedure *without doing anything else* and it fails in exactly the same way. Really there couldn't be fewer steps. From a freshly installed firmware, I have USB debugging on and it *won't really root*
Any suggestions? I think some people report success with Unrevoked 3.21 but I can't find a trustable source of this to try (don't want to try to use a version from a file sharing site for this reason).
Thanks!
Bah, nevermind SOLVED. I was trying to install BusyBox from the market, but I needed to run Titanium Backup, click 'Problems?', then install BusyBox from there. Now all works.

[Q] Root Not Working after bootloader unlocker?

Hello, I have ran into a problem, I have just unlocked my bootloader on my Desire HD. It says it is unlocked when i go into the H-boot (power and volume down). But the main problem is that i cannot root my phone. I have used various programs(HTC super tool, Oneclickroot and one other) and it says its rooted but when i reboot there is no super user installed, and cannot use titanium backup and busy box beacuse it cant find root, even with superuser from the market. When it was trying to root, it came across a few errors like "failed beacuse system is read only or somthing along those lines, when trying to Root the phone. When i was using HTC Super Tools v3 there were various "adb server is out of date restaring" but the main thing is that it says "cannot find directory su" or somthing like that when i am perm rooting it. I dont understand why this is happening beacuse, and i havnt seen this happen to any one else...
Any Ideas?
Thanks
EDIT
For those who may also have the same problem, this is my solution, that isn't rooting:

Warning i am not repsonsible if anything happens to your phone but if you have a problem please post below.

[Q] Why hasn't my root attempt worked

I am cheer o all this rooting stuff so please bear with me. I have trying to my HTC and I went through the bootloader steps from HTC Dev and that worked fine. I then tried to do the firewater s off steps and I wasn't able to complete the su command after adb shell. I got the error: su: command not found. I was advised to carry on and do the following steps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708520
I did this using a gsm version as advised and it all seemed to be fine. Now I thought this would be done but using the simple root checker and trying to install an app requiring root it hasn't been done.
Any ideas what steps to take now?
Thank your for looking. My phone is a HTC one m8 on the three network in the UK which I believe is a gsm version.

I use twrp over cwm, but it should work too. You need to flash super su in your recovery, reboot, enable usb debugging and download something like root checker to verify you have root. Once your doing the soff, when you type SU, watch your phone, it will ask about root, hit allow. Let me know.
