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.

Any plans for a One-Click Root app using the gfree method? I know there VISIONary, but I've heard some bad things about it.

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.

Maybe I'm being paranoid, but... how would I go about SAFELY undoing the Visionary method root on my HTC Vision so I could do the gfree method? I've become less of a noobcake at rooting, modding and whathaveyou, and I've learned that Visionary = baaaad (for some). Any suggestions?

managed to downgrade the wifes DZ from 1.72 to 1.34, after some reading it appears visionary is no longer the way to get perm root these days so what is the prefered method now?

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.
Try using one of these guides:

The safest way to root your device is to follow the method in the wiki, the only way you can brick your device with that method is if you mistype something.
I had never rooted a device until the G2 and did so the day the devs achieved root while having a cocktail after work. Just double check your typing before sending the commands and all will be well.

This really isn't good advice. OP should read the sticky about Visionary having a high chance of bricking devices before trying to temproot. Follow the guide in the wiki for root, it works well just follow instructions and go slow.
using visionary has low brick rate for temp root...only using it for permroot yields a risk. i only stated what was easiest for me. btw its great advice...lol

But the OP stated that Visionary bricked their device when they attempted to root it and you recommended they use Visionary again.

if u go to the visionary website it states clearly there is no risk for temp root only permroot...but u can also use z4root instead...not sure if thats safer or not

you should know that is specifically regarding the permanent root option.
I wouldn't think twice about temp rooting with visionary. it's not going to harm anything. nonetheless, follow the wiki. it's the way to go.
Best way to root is the xda wiki meathod which i used. its based on gfree meathod. also if u have a branded device u need to create a goldcard first and downgrade if your not at firmware 1.34xxx
Why will this forum not rid itself of the visionary ****. It has ruined so many phones it's just GROSSLY irresponsible for the devs to leave that trash on here. It truly is.
This one is the safest method.
