Hi there!
For the mytouch 4G phone from t-mobile, it doesn't come with vanilla android (the stock android O.S).
So, once rooted, is it possible to flash it with the Stock Android 2.2 O.S? That does not have T-mobile's junk? If so, where or how can I find it?
I came upon several links, but wasn't certain. Also, what does it mean by RUU rom?
thanks!
I have no idea what RUU to be honest, never used one but I think it's the factory image that's used to bring phone back to stock, not sure if there's one for MT4G
There's no official vanilla 2.2 rom for this phone. The closest thing you can have is CyanogenMod. 2.2.1 is in RC2 stage and is very stable. 2.3 (gingerbread) is in unofficial alpha stage. It's very stable (as far as people say) but has it's bugs and there no official support from CM for it, only community. All other roms out there are sense based. All roms are in Development section.
Obviously, you need to be rooted to flash any of those.
Good luck.
RUU = ROM Upgrade Utility. It is essentially the rom that ships with the phone. You are correct in saying there is no true vanilla Android ROM. OP's best bet is to go with CM as you suggested as it is Vanilla Android with some features added and closest to pure android you're going to get.

just so you know in case you don't know, there is some problems with the rom and as of right now (unless i'm mistaken) there is now way to take the rom off.
And with the new possibility of rooting i saw wait for rooting your eris or just get the nexus one
The Rom works fine.
There are NO major issues with rom version 0.2 or 0.3.
And if your phone is rooted, you will probably find a new 1.5 ROM on her soon based on the original stock. So you can flash a new ROM. Assuming you are talking about the rooted 2.1 and not the leaked one.
This may be a dumb question but here I go.
So I heard that android 2.2 is coming out and I was wondering if there was anyway to revert my mytouch 3g back to its original state if I wanted to? (de-root) lol
Or should I wait for developers to make new custom roms with 2.2?
But I am still curious if it possible to reverse a rooted phone?
1) 2.2 is not out yet.
B) there's a big honkin' 2.2 thread already
3) there's also a "how to root/unroot your mt3g" thread over in developement.
1) 2.2 source is released now
Proper 2.2 running on our devices is a long shot. But hope for the best
Cyanogen is already working om CM6 which is Froyo based and he said that amongst its targets is the Dream, the Magic/Sapphire/Mytouch 3g and Mytouch 3g Slide
Maybe this has already been posted, but I'm on here pretty frequently and haven't seen this mentioned.
I was pointed to this tweet on another forum:
http://twitter.com/black_man_x/status/24657410245263360
apparently this guy works for Verizon and they are already testing 2.3 on the X.
Question for the people running custom ROMs.
When (or if, I know that tweet isn't official confirmation) Moto releases Gingerbread for the X, will we have to flash back to Moto's 2.2.1, upgrade to Moto's 2.3, and THEN go back to our ROM of choice?
Or is it likely that, for example, Fission will offer a way for us to upgrade to Gingerbread straight from Fission Froyo?
This assumes that the ROM of choice is compatible with 2.3.
I think the safest thing to do would be to flash back to 2.2.1, OTA to 2.3, then flash the chosen ROM.
Okay i need to find a nand rom that meets these requirements
stock froyo 2.2
cm 6.1.1
cwm capabale
and easily moddable
why you ask?
Well I Came Up With A Idea To Put The Samsung UI In a Rom
Havent Seen It Yet And i Love the way it looks (previous iphone user lol)
and i want this done and i have no experience building roms just desgining them
My MyTouch 4G is running Android 2.2.1, can I upgrade it to the latest version of Android?
How?
Easy go to cyanogenmod.com and search for your phone then go to wiki and find the guide to root first and then install gingerbread....
HTC has not released an official OS upgrade for the MyTouch 4G yet, you're stuck with Froyo (android 2.2.x) for now.
If you don't want to wait for HTC's release, you can root the phone, turn S-OFF in your bootloader, and flash a clockworkmod recovery image. Then you can flash custom ROMs made by developers outside of Google/mobile carriers/handset manufacturers. Many of them are based on Gingerbread (android 2.3.x) source code. All that stuff can be found in the Development subforum for this device. I recommend you READ ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING before you attempt anything.
