Hello,
I have a G2 running the latest update and I have been stuck at this step:
5. Launch Terminal Emulator, it Force Closes. Launch a second time, and you'll have a root shell
If I try to launch the Terminal Emu after Manu-->Reset Term, the screen stays white for roughly 10 minutes, and it'll force close. After that, I can NOT open it again. Anyone stuck at this step? Pleassssssee HELP!!!

used this guide two weeks ago to root my g2 had no issues with terminal emulator, are you running the version thats currently on the market.
Same issue here. I'm on Desire Z. The phone gets laggy (and hangs occasionally) after the Emulator force close and I can never start Terminal Emulator again. Whenever I finally get to the emulator icon (after the lags and hangs) and tap it, it just gives me a blank screen. Have to reboot phone to repeat procedure and get stuck at this step again.Hello,

I have tried "Better Terminal Emulator Pro" too and it has the same problem.

Well, for anyone running into this issue, I was able to root the phone by using the Wiki guide. It requires downgrading to Froyo, then using the old Froyo exploits to gain permanent root.
It all went very smoothly, and the instructions couldn't be more clear, so don't worry about missing any steps where the guide just assumes you know something...

Code:$ adb push hboot-eng.img /data/local $ adb push wpthis-OTA.ko /data/local
ON YOUR PHONE:
You should still have terminal emulator up, at a root prompt. Now run:
You should see:Code:# insmod /data/local/wpthis-OTA.ko
That means it worked. This next step is CRUCIAL. You must make sure that you are writing to the proper partition here or you could brick your phone. To be absolutely clear- the partition is mmcblk(zero)p(one)(eight)Code:init_module 'wpthis-OTA.ko' failed (Function not implemented)
Code:dd if=/data/local/hboot-eng.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
You should see some messages indicating that it was written. Next, run:
This will lock in root, and give you 'su' access in the future. Next, run:Code:# /data/local/tmp/root
Code:# sync
Now wait at least a minute, just to be safe. After waiting, reboot your phone using the power button. After it finishes starting up, launch the terminal emulator, and type 'su'. You should get the prompt asking you to grant permissions. If you got the prompt, congratulations! You have permanent root!

I have the same issue. I have S-off but can't run /data/local/tmp/root without a lot of input/output errors.
i get al the way to the end and there seems to be a problem with
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*
because it says error cant find chmod
The "chmod" command is built into Android, so that should work. Are you copying and pasting in that command like that ? You're not accidentally doing "adb *push* chmod", are you ?
I tried to root my Desire Z, and for some reason maybe i missed the steps or something stupid,
and now my phone is stuck on the HTC screen
I removed the battery, put it back and tried to switch it on, nothing happened.
I did the factory settings back from the recovery boot, and it still stuck.
Is there anyway I can get my phone back?
