You don't need to use CAPS. Without any information we cannot help you.
We need DETAILS.
Phone 32A or 32B?
SPL version?
Radio version?
Recovery?
Rooted or not?
Goldcard made?
Tutorial followed?
If so then which one?
etc etc.
Just saying HELP HELP HELP without telling us where you are at and then getting mad at us MODS isn't going to get anywhere.

You do know that MODS is short for MODERATORS, right? Being me?
If I don't know (or anyone else for that matter) how else to help you then we just don't know. There are over a dozen different types of MyTouch devices. If you find someone that has them all rooted with knowledge on all of them then let me know. A technique for one doesn't always work for all of them. When YOU figure it out then post a HOW-TO for others to follow. Until then don't blame the MODERATORS for not knowing how to root YOUR phone.
Your contradicting yourself you said in the other thread that if I followed directions I would have no problem now your saying that there is no solution. yes I do know mods its short for people like yourself who like to go on power trips cause your a internet moderator. No wonder kingxkxlick left.

And for your information he was breaking forum rules and was asked to leave.
And in regards to meet contradicting myself if you use the resources that have been provided to you by other contributing members in you will not have a problem. Do not blame moderators like myself or other members for not being able or willing to spoon feed you. Remember that XDA Developers is not the only resource on the internet for rooting your phone. If you want to continue being counter productive with your negative comments and rudeness then i suggest you take it to another forum.

The Fender/1.2 has the 3.5mm headphone jack on the top.
Before you boot up the device hold the volume down button and press the power button. Keep holding the volume down button while it boots to a screen that will display information. Post that information here to get help.
Wouldn't it be the back and power button at the same time, volume down is when your flashing?

So you just admitting to know NOTHING about this phone. A phone that has had a higher brick rate then any other HTC Android device. And you're attempting to do this for a friend? You'd be better off letting your friend do it in case it bricks so it won't be your fault. Either way try these guides
The Unlockr Rooting Fender/1.2
XDA's Guide for unlocking MyTouch 1.2
As for a rom i personally use Dr. Cloverdales Magic Elixir but that's a personal preference.
I still think it's dumb of you to attempt to root without knowledge of the phone. You don't sound to bright but perhaps you'll get lucky and not **** everything up?

Power+Back is fastboot
Power+Volume Down is Hboot
kinda different but still the bootloader.
@OP:
I do not advise rooting or applying ROM's to devices that aren't yours. It is your friend's (and your) responsibility to search and read before undertaking any rooting/flashing of ROM's as you can potentially void the warranty of the device should things go wrong.

Pretty much sums it up. Why would you want to send your AMAZING mytouch to a stranger?
Follow directions. You'll be fine.
you know, if you're so scared too even just root your device, then you'll have MANY more problems later on. cause guess what? after rooting your device doesn't mean everything is safe and easy. it's EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE. rooting your device means giving yourself admin rights to do anything you want to your device, and if you so scared you can't even go through the process of giving yourself those rights, then you shouldn't even be thinking about rooting.
just a thought.
also, do you really trust a stranger to screw around with your phone like that? they won't pay the fee if they break it, YOU are the one that's going to pay.
and of course.... PLEASE POST IN THE CORRECT FORUMS
to be honest... the mytouch 4g is a PAIN in the asss to root.... i mean... gfree method is the best... but downgrading it was a *****.... i did it after a whole day of reading and watching youtube and trying n trying n trying... i mean im an expert now on this device... and i think its one of the BEST phones in the android dev world... considering the amount of development on it... rooting it and using a new kernal rom combo... makes this phone a different device entirely... i might have a SGSII (T989) but this little mytouch kicks ass... n e way, i dont mind helping u out... just learn how to flash roms n kernals ur self... PM me if u want my help
Downgrading is easy: all u need is the PD15IMG.zip. But that's downgrading back to stock. This fone is the best since I've been rooting, back since the G1 days. There is a section for that zip, look into the Rom bible.

you need 2.2 in zip format so you'll rename it into PD15IMG.zip, but it in the root of your SD card, enter boot-loader & it automatically will do the rest..

if you follow the instructions on the cyanogenmod wiki about htc glacier you can do it. Just make sure to check the MD5 after the download to avoid any issues and bricking problems. I have downgraded and rooted 2 glaciers with that method. Again if you can not trust yourself to do that much on your own I agree with the others you should not be rooting in the first place.
Its really not that hard, there are plenty of instructions on how to do it in these forums. I never did it before, and it took me 20 mins to downgrade and then root. and this was reading the instructions as I went.
Check your chip type first, make sure you have the good one and then just read the forums. You can do it, and if you cant, maybe you shouldnt have it.
This is a noob question but i just rooted my phone yesterday and have been trying out different roms.
I am going to upgrade to the galaxy sIII soon but when i go into the sprint store to turn in my phone it needs to be unrooted and everything.
I dont know how to unroot it or put it back to normal so they could never tell that i had done anything with the phone i forgot to backup the phone.
Could anyone help me out? Sorry that i sound like such a noob.

HBOOT 2.8 With S-OFF but it still say's i have S-ON
i just put Smelkus Amon Ra-Supersonic-4.3 recovery on it.
it's not letting me post the link because i am a new user and cant post links until i make over 10 post.
But its HTCEVOHACKS Guide for people that need to root HBOOT-2.18.0001
Probably the easiest thing to do is follow the instructions on how to downgrade your Hboot and just leave it at that. You'll lose root and have s-on, and you'll also get rid of the watermark in the bootloader screen that indicates that it's unlocked. Follow the steps in this guide to downgrade your Hboot:

What is the difference between S-ON and S-OFF?
Also where can i get the default rom for my phone for when i turn it back in to upgrade.
Or when i unroot my phone and downgrade my hboot will it set it all back to normal?
and thank you for the help i appreciate it.

Essentially, s-on is "security on", and vice-versa. Having s-off allows you the ability to flash things like radios to your phone. As far as the stock ROM, there are links to two different stock Sprint ROM's (sometimes also referred to as RUU or ROM Upgrade Utilities) in that thread I linked you to. Just pick one. Since you won't be rooting it again it won't matter, and a Sprint rep won't know that the ROM on your phone isn't the one it came with to begin with.

Along the lines of the original issue, will Sprint activate a rooted phone or do they actively check to see if it's rooted before activating? Just curious b/c I have an extra one I'm selling and it's still rooted.
Yes i have another question too, if i unroot my phone is it perminitly unrooted? Or would i be able to re root it.
Just helpfull for the future if i decide to root whatever phone i upgrade too.

No it's not permanent. You can root again after unrooting. A lot of people will unroot to take their phone in for service or warranty claims and then root it again after it's fixed.

Those are two pretty good guides. Honestly you have to first read, read and read some more to understand what you have and what can be done with it. Also in development there are answers to your questions under the stickys. Updating your phone would more than likely put it back to full stock status. Also why upgrade to an already 2 yr old software version.
I would recommend fully rooting your phone and the cyanogen method was easier to me. Also remember to google like crazy....

Why do you have two of the same thread?
Listen, here is the deal with the eMMC. Some are faulty, some aren't. If you have a crappy one, flashing CAN speed up the process of the chip giving out. If the chip does goes kaput, though, it always was. The only "bad" chips are the ones that fail. I and many others one here have a glacier with the type of chip people ignorantly refer to as "bad." I have flashed hundreds, perhaps thousands of times and it still works just fine. Understand?

lol man, it's not that i want to steal his "thanks" or something. i just think it's better to keep the forum clean and keep the equal stuff together in one thread, so it's better to find for everyone. and if there's already a specific and usualy well maintained thread for this topic. so i think it's best to just post the link there (@justin2003) and not open up a new thread (just to get attention/thanks or whatever the reason was).
people that are looking out for 4.19 RUUs will search in the RUU thread and find the link and thank you. and as soon as crushalot has some time to add it, he'll do it. that's it.
Until the RUU thread gets updated, this thread is fine.
I'm a little concerned with the community spirit shown here. @Justin2003 has done nothing wrong, by posting this, he even stated that he PM'd @crushalot but with no response.

This is a little concerning, just because someone posts something doesn't mean they're hunting for thanks (which are worthless, just look at mine ) or attention (this is the internet, who cares ).
Save the hate for the iPhone crowd.

Until the RUU thread gets updated, this thread is fine.
I'm a little concerned with the community spirit shown here. @Justin2003 has done nothing wrong, by posting this, he even stated that he PM'd @crushalot but with no response.

Nothing to be concerned about! i just thought to do the right thing by indicating to keep the forum clean based on my own experiences with thread openings.. not all mods think the way you do but nvm, let's stop here.
Cheers

lol man, it's not that i want to steal his "thanks" or something. i just think it's better to keep the forum clean and keep the equal stuff together in one thread, so it's better to find for everyone. and if there's already a specific and usualy well maintained thread for this topic. so i think it's best to just post the link there (@justin2003) and not open up a new thread (just to get attention/thanks or whatever the reason was).
people that are looking out for 4.19 RUUs will search in the RUU thread and find the link and thank you. and as soon as crushalot has some time to add it, he'll do it. that's it.

Look at Bugsy Lawsons RUU thread...all download links are removed. I think, the thread can also be removed. It´s better to have one more chance for a download, if something like this happens again.
Sorry everyone, I can't dedicate nearly as much time to the threads I used too due to a new demanding job with no access to post during the day and more family duties in the evening.
I will work on downloading the updated RUU files and get them posted on my site and on the collection thread I started.
I am not purposely trying to ignore anyone, but I get at least 20 support request emails and 5-6 PM's per day and as I stated I just don't have the time to answer them all.
Thanks to Justin2003 for creating the thread with the links.
I do not need attentions or thanks but i know that there are a lot of people who wants back to stock without first s-off the phone to downgrade the hboot.

Thank you Justin, the official RUU helped me restoring the device in pseudo original state (still unlocked, with supercid and S-off ofcouse) but without having to mess with reconstructed, dumped and/or skeletonized ROMs.
Sorry for the noobish question but after reading through the myriad of "Help Me!" threads, I've gotten a bit confused on what can/can't be used with all the different security & lock states. If I'm S-OFF w/ unlocked bootloader, can I run the ruu.exe? Or am I better off waiting for a decrypted ruu.zip?
As far as I understand it, I believe I can pretty much run anything w/ S-OFF and it's up to me to make sure that what I run is compatible with my device, lest I risk bricking it. Is that an accurate assessment? Are there any avenues to restore that cannot or should not be used while S-OFF? Are there any that would require relocking the bootloader while S-OFF?

You understand correctly.
You can do anything. With great power comes great responsibility.
Occasionally an RUU won't work because your HBOOT is incompatible or your HTC drivers aren't current or your CID or MID is incompatible. Generally you can fix these things and try again.
The two most common things that brick phones are a failed HBOOT flash or trying to S-ON with a non-stock HBOOT.

Sorry for the noob question but I'm facing a bug with my HTC One running 4.3, so I want to try 4.4.2.
My phone is rooted/unlocked and I've installed CWM recovery. All of which I want to keep !!
OTA 4.4.2 update would not install due to CWM recovery.
Will this .exe file allow me tu upgrade to 4.4.2 without the need to remove CWM recovery and SuperUser ?
Thanks for your help here.
Sounds like what you want can be accomplished by either reverting to a stock recovery and accepting the OTA before putting CWM back, or just flashing a 4.4.2 ROM in your custom recovery- either way this discussion probably doesn't belong in this thread.
Note flashing Kit Kat manually requires a compatible recovery and S-OFF, I believe.
The OTA should preserve your settings and data.
You may or may not be able to keep your settings and data intact if you go the manual route.
If you do an RUU you *definitely* won't be able to keep data:
Real, complete, signed RUU's from HTC rewrite everything. The erase your pictures, they install a stock recovery, they touch every partition.
(There are some firmware-only and other hybrid packages posted various places in this forum that behave like RUU's but are more selective in which partitions are touched.)
Merely flashing a ROM only really touches /system (it also touches /boot and /cache technically). Depending on how stable the result is, you may also choose to erase /data in a separate action.
To clear up a point about terminology, root access is something that is usually baked into the ROM you are flashing. RUU always leaves you with a stock, unooted ROM. Flashing almost any custom ROM automatically gives you root as a side benefit. Root is not the same as S-OFF.
Anyway, you probably don't need an RUU unless you get into serious trouble. Until then, you might want to ask for more help over in Q&A...
