Currently there is no official support for the Shift from Koush (the guy who does CWM). Apparently it is in the works however.
YOu can use ROM managers, but you can't use it to directly install a recovery. There are some hurdles to jump over and hoops to jump through in order to do that.
See this post for directions to use it to flash recovery (but this is only AFTER perm-rooting the phone)

Hey guys
I'm currently using an older version of RA-hero. How do I upgrade to the new version (v1.7.0.1)?
ADB for some reason won't work properly with my laptop, is there an alternative way to upgrade my recovery rom?
Thanks,
Alex
edit: oops my bad, I thought I was posting under Q&A. Sorry!
Try using the update.zip posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7873924&postcount=1208
Have a look at BTDAGs guide linked in my signature, there should be step by step instructions using Terminal Emulator, failing that you can also try Flashrec but that doesn't work on all roms for some reason.

I've already got that ! Do I just flash it like I would do with a ROM? Or is there some other process?
... Oh, too late, the update.zip method posted above will be the easiest route to go.

Yep, just like a ROM.

Yes, download the rom to the root of your SD card and flash away.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Absolutely. You download the zip and flash it through recovery. And for many roms, you can have ROMmanager do all the work for you.

Be careful with Rom Manager. It said it needed to update Clockwork Recovery and in the process of rebooting the phone, the recovery image is corrupted and my phone will no longer boot into recovery.
I haven't tried reflashing the recovery image via adb yet, but hope it will work.
You dont have to use rom manager, you can just navigate with the browser and download as if you use a computer. The file would be located in /sdcard/download
The only problem is the data speeds.
Peace

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.

Look in the development section... there are many threads with step by step instructions. Search is your friend.

search PD15IMG. Sets you back to stock and unroot.

+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!
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.
I am not new to development or flashing Roms. However all my experience has been with the galaxy s lineup.
My friend has a mytouch 4g and I want to root his phone and install a custom rom for him.
I was wondering what you guys use to root, and also what you use to flash. Can I just install cwm from clockwork and install them that way? Or do I need something else?
Thanks!

The best thing to do is root using the method from the Unlockr. Which i have in my signature "how to root with root.sh". Its the same method. That should work for you. If it doesn't you might want to check the "post your eMMC serial number" thread in the general section. There is alot of valuable information in that thread regarding phones do not root using root.sh.
If you just want to force root the phone regardless of it being a good or bad eMMC you can use the ./gfree method.
as far as how to flash ROMs, you can just download Clockwork ROM Manager and flash the Clockwork Recovery image, do a back up, wipe, then flash the ROM.
Thanks. So clockwork works without any modifications. On the vibrant it worked just by flashing the recovery. But with The gs4g Krylon360 had to work long and hard to come up with a recovery and it involves replacing a system/ file. Lol
Anyways. Thanks for the advice. I'm not familiar with that way of rooting but I will look it up.

Yea, the MyTouch 4G doesn't have any goofy work arounds once you get s/off.
The MyTouch4G has a security protocol that will prevent us from perma-rooting our phones. You need to manually turn the security protocol off. That is why you see us asking newbs if their "s" is on or off (s-on/s-off). i have links for both in my signature.
You're quick to reply!
Yea I've heard about that with the g2. Thanks for the help. I can't see your signature in the app. Ill check it out when i get home.
Thanks a ton.

And I just got gingerbread on my gs4g! Lol. And I'm about to switch.

I need help flashing a recovery on my phone. I'm a noob when it comes to rooting phones and such, I have tried many different things such as goomanager and using rom manager. If anyone could possibly explain in details on what to do, or link me to a possible solution
-I'm already perma rooted
-I have s-off
-I have a clockwork on the phone but whenever I click a section, it comes up blank (Rom manager)
-Installed recovery from ROM Manager

First off, this is the wrong section. But don't worry, everyone makes mistakes lol.
And now for the recovery. If you could get into your phone, like start it up and stuff. Install this app --> http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk
Then install the app and open it. The rest is straight forward. It will install the recovery for you. Hope it helps.
Well if u installed recovery from ROM manager then u already flashed a recovery. U can boot into recovery from ROM manager app.
The link that notorious is providing is to flash a different recovery in the same way.

Yes of course but it might get a little difficult for someone that has never done it.
I was just saying since the recovery was already installed there was nothing more that needed to be done.
I hate clockworkmod, would never go back to it but it works. Got a nook color with it cuz there is not much choice
