Questions on rooting

[Dave Blake]

Ok that's good reset your phone plug it back in and try again.

Still the same thing. Sometimes after i type "adb shell" i get "adb shell server is out of date. killing" then in the next line is says "*daemon started successfully*"
after that i type SU and get the same old message

 

[Dave Blake]

After you type in adb shell do you get the $?

 

[YoungCorruption]

yeah i do and i type SU then the next line says SUermission denied.
Here is a video of me trying it out that i had recorded

Are you sure you are temp rooted? Reset your phone and temp root again then try.

 

[YoungCorruption]

nothing still. i guess i won't root my phone :/. do you think if i try to temp root it with z4 that would make a difference. and i have the superuser app so i'm pretty sure i'm temp rooted

 

[Dave Blake]

If you reset your phone you lose temp root but super user will still be there. I have some stuff to do tonight but I will be around tomorrow if you want to keep trying. I am going to unroot my Shift tomorrow and see if I can emulate this issue to find the problem.

 

[YoungCorruption]

well i took the battery out and turned it back on and the superuser was gone then i temp rooted and it was back but yeah i guess we can keep trying lol. i would like it rooted so i don't get so bored with the phone after a while

 

[YoungCorruption]

well i did a factory reset to see if that would work and i found one problem that i was having before. Whenever i would temp root my phone would automatically reset itself so that was one problem now when i do the temp root it doesn't reset it's self but now when i connect my phone to my computer i get a notification on my computer saying that HTC sync is not available and to unplug my phone, wait 10 seconds then plug it back in but i get the same notification. I don't know if that affects the process in any way cause i can still use my phone in hard drive mode and everything but when i do the adb shell and SU i still get the permission denied

 

[Dave Blake]

I am flashing back to stock now I will post with results and questions for you just as soon as I have them.

 

[Dave Blake]

I have run this 3 times the problem you are having is you do not have temp root when you are interning adb shell that is the only way I can get the permission denied error you are having. Run Visionary again watch the screen it should say rooting device please wait then it will go to a black screen for a few seconds then it will go back to the visionary main screen. If it freezes on the black screen reset the phone and try again but wait till it goes back to the Visionary main screen before you back out. This is important the only way I could get the SU to gain permission was to close the command prompt and reboot the phone then temp root again open a new command prompt and start the process again. If you try to open SU and it fails you must close the command prompt reboot the phone temp root again open a new command prompt and start the process again. Let me know what happens.

 

[YoungCorruption]

i did just that. i did the temp root and it went back to the screen where you can choose to temp root and all the other options then backed out and plugged into my computer and did the run and still get the error

 

[Dave Blake]

I am going to have to think about this I'm not sure what to try next. Don't give up I have a couple of ideas just not sure what to try first and how to go about it.

 

[YoungCorruption]

alright thats cool and in the mean time i'm gonna keeping to do it every few hours
