Unrooting from.....

I just traded some one an HD7 for this MyTouch 4G.... Yayyy, back to Android ! Well, they already have it rooted and everything, but I like to start from scratch when I am modding my phones. I am coming from a Cliq so I'm not familiar with HTC. How should I go about unrooting the phone? And where should I start in the forum while trying to get familiar with modding this phone?

If it's already rooted, why unroot it? I would just make sure the latest recovery is installed, wipe it, and flash whatever ROM you want.

I'd you are looking to mod it... then you want to keep it rooted.
Its a good thing. You can even run the stock rom and make backups of all your apps and settings.
Root is good!

Correct. I would like to start from root and unroot it and know what the whole entire process is for this phone.

Any help out there? =P

+1....As Rockstarar said, the pd15img makes you go back to being unrooted. The pd15img is the stock OS image and the thread will on that will explain how to flash it.
After that I'd say check out the "Guide to permaroot" thread, that will explain the process in getting rooted permanently. Next you should check out the thread for clockworkmod Recovery 3.0.0.6, thats a version that enables us to flash both 2.2 and 2.3 base roms. Alot of ppl miss that thread and end up using the wrong recovery to flash roms and as a result they get boot loops.
After that you're good to go! Got alot of options in the development section to choose from, so pick ur poison
I remember when I jus started this thing I had no clue where to start so that should give you a nice guideline on how to get going

Thanks!! I can't wait to get started =P.

Good luck!

Open ROM zip file.
Delete HTC apps in /system/app
Save.
Flash ROM after wiping system partition
If you are on stock, but have rooted using unrevoked, you need to use adb. look it up.
(This is only possible on a custom recovery)

Rooting & ROMs

Hello everyone,
I am very new to rooting but want to root my MT4G to remove bloatware and get some ICS. I read about the HTC bootloader unlock. Will that allow me to get my phone to stock android (remove Tmobile apps and Sense) and will I be able to flash ROMs after?
If there's another way I can do this, please let me know. Thanks!

Check the resource bible. All of the answers you seek can be found there either directly or indirectly. I think it's sticky in development section.

Additionally, there are at least 2 "hello noob" threads in General section, with all the pointers.
