If you do brick your phone, with its heft it should make for a much better paperweight than your mytouch. I think you'll be happy with its function as such.
Refer to the oC thread in the development section. Read the first page and if you need to most of the thread.

You did at least look here right?
This same topic was addressed last night in this general forum. You should have searched. But because I'm such a good person here.
I'll link you everything you need.
the module you'll need is here. It's the "Binary (OTA 11/03)" file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8715636&postcount=1
The gscripts are here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9063932&postcount=5
Read this to know what the scripts do. Dont download any files from there just read the text.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8716108&postcount=24
Also download gscript off the market. It's free.
And last just see the video in my link. The first script you'll wanna push is the cpoc file.
EDIT: take a look at the youtube video in the first link, towards the end it will tell you what to set the SetCPU setting as. If you're cheap and don't wanna buy SetCPU you'll be surpirsed to know that XDA members get it free. I won't tell you where you can find it. Learn to search for things using google.

Hello everyone. I haven't been able to maintain this beginners' guide, but I highly recommend the following two threads:
Droidstyle's guide has anything and everything you need to get rooted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070
User jawman27 has put together a glossary to help new users understand rooting terminology:

Enjoy.

No, this is strictly for the Fascinate, I don't really know the specifics but the mesmerize is different, I think theres a separate forum for that phone.
Great job Bawb3. I wish there was also something like this for stock app preferred replacements/alternatives all grouped together. For example, Dolphin instead of the default browser, debinged browser, replacement SMS clients, and 'must-have' apps for post rooting. Something like that, maybe to go hand in hand with this guide, to get newbies started. I would do it myself but I'm still a newbie. Wishful thinking, but mainly I just wanted to say thanks!

Maybe thats something I could put together in the future, for now I'm just trying to help the new people, and maybe reduce the clutter of simple question threads that this guide could help weed out.
P.s. thanks for all the compliments everyone!
Great
Great guide, it took me about two days of digging to understand all of this and you put it in one nice package.

Yeah, kinda why I tried to put everything together in one guide. It's hard to cover everything, but theres plenty of other guides for different things floating around.

Thank you SO much! I think this has been one of THE BEST guides I have seen thus far.. It explains pretty much EVERY in great common language. Now if only I can get past my current roadblock so I can actually continue through all of these steps :/ but when I do, I'm coming back to this thread for reference!
Thank you!
This guide is great! Thank you, it sure helped me to have a better understanding of root, roms, and kernel's.

One suggestion, maybe host the root file on your post or offer up a mirror link. Registering for another forum is no biggie, but I'd rather not since I'm more comfortable here on XDA.

Yeah Nicgraner is right. We need more info to help. Some phones port well to others with little difficulty. Others, not so much.

Well first thank you guys a lot for getting interested in helping me. i know a little bit in basics like rooting and flashing roms but i wanted to know more about how can i make my own rom or at least try to troubleshoot any cooked rom.
Get familiar with logcat, to begin with.
Get familiar with smali/baksmali, decompiling and recompiling Java apps, and Java code for Android in general.
It'll get you half way there.
i really wanna root my phone and add an awesome custom rom. im a huge fan about speed and battery life and the cool little screen lock that looks like a tv turning off

well... the OP isn't really being a "noob".. he's being a **** for not reading and posting these useless threads in the Dev Section.
Obviously hasn't read anything. he's like those babies that want to be spoon fed.
hey you know what? why don't you send your device to me, i'll root it and everything for you!
this isn't "noob" this is "baby"
noobs try their best to learn and get to the top. like i did (still learning now)
babies don't do anything searching/learning/reading and just want to be spoon fed.
anyway... have you checked the resource bible yet?? that really helps... and also read my guide for noobs in the General section...
XDA is so hostile now these days. At least answer the question if you're going to slam him.

After you're done rooting, follow the other videos in that channel to get what you want. Good luck and make sure you post in the Q&A next time.

Be sure to have a full understanding of what needs to be done before doing it yourself.
I do believe we were all babies or noob at some point..best thing for you is do a search before posting.. Try YouTube, Google.. If you don't understand.. You can post what your having problems with we are all here to help...xda is gadgets foundational library of knowledge.

See I was watching videos all day yesterday and they all said something about temp root then perm root. And I dont even.know if my version of andriod can be rooted. So its getting a little discouraging.

Temp root is just temporary rooting the phone.. Usually after you restart your phone it goes away..permanent root is rooting your permanently..even after you shutoff or restart your phone it stays root.. Then you can install/flash custom roms etc..try looking at the guide resources bible.. And Google some terms you don't understand...also YouTube " root mytouch4g" look at as much videos as you can before you start doing anything...
Am guessing you have version 2.3.4.. Press menu..settings...about phone..software information...android version.. What does it say...
If it says 2.3.4 then you need to downgrade to 2.1 before you can before root your phone.
Also take time to read this....

rooting and CFW
Haha, I remember being in your exact position, except i had to downgrade. But here's what I did bro. Follow this link: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Glacier:_Full_Update_Guide. It will tell you all about rooting and downgrading if you have to. It's what I used to root my Glacier. DO NOT use any one click root apps or programs to root. ADB is probably the most secure and reliable way to root your phone. Make sure you are running Froyo, also. And as for the ROM, it all depends on your preference. In my view, there are three types of ROMs- Sense, Stock, and MIUI. Sense will most likely be 3.0 or 3.5, I like it because it is smooth and I love Sense. I would recommend using either Virtuous or CoreDroid. But then there is Cyanogenmod 7. It's the best stock Android ROM, full of tons of tweaks and mods. Last, there is MIUI, which is it's own thing. I use it when I get bored of Sense and CM7 because it's so different, that I feel like i'm not even running Android

I can also post a link on how to set up and use ADB if you want
