ok how do i get to data/local?while im using linda manager,the only data file i find is in "My Phone" in Linda manager..what am i doing wrong?
ok Nice S-Off!!finally i used Root Explorer worked fine.So now i can turn off" Root on Boot" on visionary??
I have gfree on my sd card on my MT4G but I am unable to move it to data folder (my data folder is also empty no data/local)
I have the .86 and have been trying to get S-OFF for 3 hours now.
Any idea on what to do?
Can we uninstall VISIONary? Or do we have to keep it installed, just with Root on Boot turned off?
i have a virgin MT4G (specs below) , i did the guide so i get the S-Off, but when i go into terminal and type su, it says access denied. idk why im getting that if my S-Off is there. doesnt that mean that its permanently rooted? i was reading through the threads, and thats what i understood from it. please correct me if im wrong. i couldnt do the titanium back up, terminal was "access denied" i tried attempting multiple visionary + temp roots and then tried the attempt permroot now, but regardless of what the S-Off teases me with, its not rooted... can anyone help?

This should be added to the OP!
1) If after using the gfree method, you install a custom rom and wish to revert, understand that some custom roms have a different kernel than the stock kernel.
2) In order to completely revert:
Use the stock T-Mobile rom, changed to PD15IMG.zip to convert the rom/kernel back to stock.
After the convert to stock is complete
Install Visionary from SDCARD after enabling unknown sources/usb debugging AGAIN.
Use Visionary to temproot like you would if you were rooting (your root will be dead after stock T-Mobile rom but S=OFF will still be there)
DO NOT REBOOT.
After getting Temp-Root, you can do the following:
Use adb push to put gfree on /data/local again.
chmod 777 gfree again as well, this is important.
Now do the ./gfree -f followed by the dd if=/blah step.
Once that's done, do NOT reboot.
While in terminal with SU still enabled, cd to your unroot directory and sh unroot.sh.
After doing this, you will 100% guaranteed have s=on!!!
The reason people are having trouble with s=off still sticking is because after flashing a custom rom, gfree can't find the necessary files to run fully. Without gfree finishing, unroot.sh will not be able to turn secu-flag back on.
I followed the guide, but when I chmod 777 gfree it says unable to chmod 777 gfree: no such file or directory...Any suggestions ?
Did you make sure to push gfree on data/local again and chmod it again? After flashing stock rom, you have to push gfree again and chmod it because it won't be there anymore.

Sorry for the bump, but can I get some feedback on this? I'm still not certain if it's "Better" to go with the engineering bootloader or the stock.

Now run the "dd if=/where/your/part7backup-numbers.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7" and it should show the output:
xxxx bytes in
xxxxbytes out
xxxxxxxxxx copied in blah blah blah
my part7backup is on my sd card named Originalpartbackup7, so would I type
"dd if=/sdcard/Originalpart7backup-numbers.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 ?
Thanks again
