Default VISIONary+ permaroots MT4G

Thanks to Paul O'Brien @ Modaco, we now have permaroot via his VISIONary+ app, which for some reason was removed from the Market. See his changelog and download site below:

http://android.modaco.com/content/t-...ne-click-root/

It's so exciting watching this stuff come alive!
...Galaxy Nexus - rooted running Bugless Beast ROM
...HTC Sensation 4G - rooted, all stock, 2.3.4
...LG G2x - temp rooted, testing CM7 nightly (sadly retired)
..Samsung Nexus S - rooted and on latest CM7 build. (retired)
..MyTouch 4G, now with permaroot! (retired)
..Samsung Vibrant w/ root access & clockworkmod recovery (retired)
..Nexus One w/ locked bootloader and latest nightly CM6 build (retired)

Reading the thread it doesn't appear that permroot works for MT4G, or is it just inconsistent?

It is unfortunate Google is shutting down non-malicious useful tools like this (they also remove a rooter I had used on my N! - easy root). Unless they are being threatened by legal action from HTC or others - they should stay out of the fray.

I did not delete VISIONary for this reason 9in case i had to do a factory reset and re-root). Now, the new version with perm root will make having to do it again much easier.

I hope the below is not really what it looks like (from the download link):

Oh well - shut off my antivirus and downloaded file onto the SD card.

Installed it and tested it. I had gone the s=off route yesterday, so I un-rooted it (apps needing root would then not work), re-rooted it, temp and permanent. It rebootedagain, and apps that need root work OK again (it was not set to root on boot-up). App looks pretty good.

Can some more people comment on if r12 is working for MT4G permroot? And do we still have to do the other steps manually to turn S-off?

I was able to get it to work for me. I was temprooted and then applied permaroot. I haven't done S-Off yet, but I don't see a reason to do that yet anyhow.

I can confirm.. I uninstalled VISIONary after a temproot and then the permroot attempt and ran quickboot and I actually got su..

VISIONary r12 permroots the Touch.. Yes..

Now @gankin just needs to mod the latest kernel bits for this.. but otherwise.. just like that it works..

Do we need to uninstall the Visionary app from the Market before we install the v12?
