Try un installing both, then re install visionary. I had visionary restart my phone a couple of times when I was using it for temp root. If it got stuck I would pull the battery and start over. I wouldn't check the root on boot box, but keep trying and it should catch root.

The perm root button will not work unless you have followed the steps in this thread.

Once you've followed all the steps, your ready to click perm root in Visionary.

I pulled this straight from a previous thread

Boot in to recovery you will see where to backup. Once backed up you can find some nice ROMs


Also to install the ROMs and Kernel just put the Zip on your SD card then boot in to recovery chose install zip from sd card the chose zip then chose the ROM zip you want to install.

You can also use ROM manager to install custom ROM's and Kernels. Same basic process except eliminates having to manually boot into recovery.

You can go over to XDA and find some nice ROMs http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=938&order=desc
