And what if Gingerbreak apk stucks at running exploit for several hours? Wouldn't you rather try with SOC's Gingerbreak exploit...?
Also...
Compatibility list
Please note that if you device is not listed here, it doesn’t automatically make it incompatible. The list is definitely incomplete.

yea true blagus but I haven't heard that gingerbreak has done that unless I missed something I'd just rather use gingerbreak myself. Every person to there own

There are plenty of handsets that aren't listed as being compatible with superoneclick that it works absolutely fine with.
If someone's willing to give it a shot and confirm it works, I'll add it to my guide.

Lt15a
Unlocked bootloader
Running SuperOneClick>>>>>copies the Gingerbreak but gets stuck @ Running Ginerbreak and remove SD but it will go on.....forever.
Edit:With just Gingerbreak.apk, same process happens but it reboots in less than 8 sec.

Steph like I said every1 to there own I hadn't bothered to look at if any1a has broke or not worked I just said I haven't seen it my self
EDIT: It was quite obviously a typo

Will check this link that you have provided. Thanks for your reply, appreciate it!

try this: https://market.android.com/details?id=ch.racic.android.marketenabler&feature=search_result
With your phone being rooted, you can use this to select your android market country/network to be different to what it actually is. I used it on the X10 but haven't tried on the arc, so it's worth giving it a go and feeding back to us...

[Q] Easiest Root for myTouch 4g

Hey guys. I have tried many methods and can't get it right. Can anyone post the easiest root and S-off method.
Thanks in advance

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996
I used this method to root my MT4G, it was a piece of cake.
Good luck.

I have 2 questions.
1- what explorer are they taking about when they say open explorer and hold down shift
2- how do you set up a adb?
And be easy on me. I'm only 13

Hi man,
The Easiest way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995549
NO ADBS, nothing to be messing with your Computer, or anything. Almost everything done thru the phone.
FOLLOW THE EXACT WORDS. If you dont want to pay for ROOT EXPLORER APP, get FILE EXPERT ( make sure you select on Settings - File Explorer - ROOT EXPLORER)
the rest is pretty easy IF you do word by word

Root Explorer (or ES explorer). They will help you go through folders/files in your SD card or internal memory (like move/copy files to different folders etc.) as you do when you have your phone plugged into your computer.
they provide a link (to a video) on how to set up ADB on that same thread.
EDIT: Or you could use the thread which danccs posted. I was looking for that thread myself but couldn't find it. Lol

Hi dancc. Thanks for the help, but whenever I entered the last part on the terminal, I said something about an error. I really wanna root my phone. Please help!

Ugh aight bro I get your 13 but you need to try to root again and post exactly what it says. As I wrote either in this thread or your repost I'm 15 and starting out on android is difficult but you gotta learn to read closely and follow directions from devs and more experienced people. So like the exact error part that I asked for I meant like word for word. So I hope this gets you started off easier than it was for me. I didn't get told half this **** haha

Hmmmm .... let's see. Maybe because I plan on resurrecting a lot of threads like this one with new links to Empire Android as it (empire android) will soon be filled with simplified but accurate guides for rooting ALL android phones. Many people have a hard time following blogs with guides to root their phone because the authors of those blogs seem to forget that they're dealing with people who aren't exactly what you would call tech savvy and as a result don't explain things correctly or in deeper detail. That's why people come to these forums asking questions that people like you would probably call dumb when in fact they are not. But i guess instead of drawing some sort of intelligent conclusion as to why I might have resurrected this thread you'd rather try and make it sound like something its not. I hope you feel better now. (And since it seems like you had nothing else to do with your time when you posted this you will have nothing to worry about in the near future as long as Android phones keep coming you will have lots of threads like this to make yourself look like a fool on) No hard feelings. I hope I've answered your question.

I think you should just stop and not root your phone just from looking at how you've asked this question twice in the same section as well as in the dev section.
Having a rooted phone doesn't make you cooler or give you special powers no matter what your friends told you, trust me.

Well seeing how I'm 15 and (and starting football and powerlifting camp today) building my own roms and a tester for TeamRoyal it can't be too hard but really to the OP you can't post multiple times, its a good way to get your question dismissed by the community. But to actually answer your question, the easiest would probably be the gfree method which is stickied in the development page.

I agree the same. At least try to keep the thing in only one post.
To root my MyTouch 4G took me over a week, of reading extensive posts here on XDA. Until i got it with the Link that i Posted on your last Discussion.
So every step, from the beginning, slowly. When you see that something is not going right, stop, and tell us Exactly what is happening
And yes, PERMROOT Wont give you special powers to show offf to your friends. Most likely if you do something wrong, say bye to that phone or have ready 100 $ to pay someone to fix it for you.

I just want root to install custom roms. I had a Samsung vibrant before and it was so easy to root.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

You people are funny with the whole root giving power thing, but I swear root gave me +100hp and eng hboot gave +100mp extra. But ya rooting is easy and you don't even need a PC. Story behind it...
I lost my HD2 (Leo1024) as it was my first dev-phone so I heavily modded it and few had personal things I never even released to public so now some prick walking around with it. When this happened dual core based phone the LG-Opt2x and Moto-Atrix (dual core) was still 4months behind and I couldn't wait for it so next best thing I got was MT4G (spec wise DHD-US model), so week before I got MT4G I did total run down from known issues with MT4G to root, ect. So I walk in to the TMoStore and the rep try to "sell" me MT4G so I told the guy save yourself some trouble I already know about the device and so we can skip all this BS and wanted to for it direct.
So I told him to open the box so I can verify it was superior display (by then we already knew about inferior SH model). So he started asking other silly questions how hard it was rooting and back then the meth was lil weird as you needed battery pull. Since I lost my phone they verified my account and gave me a new simcard free and provisioned my line on the spot. So I downloaded all the files needed from my phone for TheUnlockr meth to SDCard and rooted it in front of him using TempROOT (VISIONary+) and PermROOT (root.sh).

So what exactly is the easiest way?

Follow the TheUnlockr meth which takes 1min to root using VISIONary+ to obtain TempROOT and when you have it you can get PermROOT by running root.sh script.

Why better not ask to send your phone to someone and root it for free?!

New Android Market out now-link

Since when do we root users wait for anything?
New android market out here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?vdocx41t37rnn6y
Install via adb or root explorer. It will install over the old market, FYI.
version 3.0.26

I've been using it for a couple of hours and man, the UI got one huge overhaul. I haven't checked out the new books and movies section much, but from what I've seen, Google put a lot of work into updating the market's image.

Anyone had any luck with the movies? I've seen some people say that rooted devices can't view the movies. If so, would there be a way to make it think you were unrooted while still maintaining root? Script or otherwise? Just curious.

It's not merely because you're rooted. You hacked your framework and therefore can remove drm that the content providers have asked google to put in place.

download the file to your phone, go to 'downloads' folder and select the file, it'll install automatically and overwrite your current market app... no need to use root explorer or adb
edit: also is it just my phone or does the list of apps/games you're browsing through ('entertainment' apps for example) go back to the freakin' top of the list every time you download something? this gets very annoying the further down the list I get
