The only of that happening is if the newer hboot gets cracked. Until that happens you wont be rooting with 2.2.2, sorry.

Yeah i just tried to root my girls aria using 1click, unrevoked3, and z4 root. Only to find out that hboot 1.02 isn't rootable YET. I just want to remove the bloatware from her phone so it will be a little faster. Thanks for having a forum that works.
Ok so I did a stupid thing and ran the exe file of the canadian version gb sense leak and ended up with latest botloader, radio and everything and lost root. Now though I still see S-OFF on bootloader I am unable to root using non-visionary gfree method described at this link. I get stuck at step 9 while trying to gain temporary root. I see "Forked #### childs", reset terminal but when i try to launch terminal again it wont open and phone becomes very very slow and sometimes freezes.
Could someone please guide how to root this guy again (if at all its possible as yet)? I have attached a screenshot from the bootloader screen.
I like this rom though, its so smooth and of course I can live with it but I cooked my own version of it removing all the bloats and replacing a few things ( I hate music app on this - forgets shuffle settings every now and then) and wanted to try it
Haha that's a bit funny. You may have to wait for the phone to be released and rooted.

Ohh man. But its good that its being releasing this week by mobilicity. I guess I have to wait for a dev to purchase that phone
EDIT: Unless its really a judgement day this Saturday. Either way, I would be a happy man (or a happy zombie)

Mytouch 4g-white
Permrooted s-off
Root Method-gfree
CWR-3.0.2.4
Rom-Royalginger v2.1
Kernel-Ckisgen~smartass~v1.2
Root by SuperOneClick, using Gingerbreak method. Look in Nexus forums, if you want more guidance on that. Should be as simple as downloading SuperOneClick, enabling ADB debugging on the device, connecting it and running SOC.
Thanks Jack! Will give it a try.
If you have S=OFF, you should be able to flash custom recovery (ClockworkMod) via fastboot and then flash whatever rooted ROM you want. Do you want this particular ROM you have right now for any reason? If not, just flash something else.
SuperOneClick using gingerbreak does not work.

Sorry for sounding like noob but how do I flash CWM via fastboot?
nevermid. found option94's guide to install cwm through adb. but still it doesnt work, i get "remote: not allowed". I guess I dont have true S-OFF even though bootloader shows S-OFF.
This is resolved...
Care to expand on the solution please? This may help someone else...
Sure. Flashed hboot-flashable stock 2.2.1 image from this thread then rooted (used SuperOneClick this time) and back on rooted custom gb sense.
So can you get true S-Off like in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996
with the Panache?
I just bought a Mytouch from Newegg, and the only thing that bugs me about it is the Mytouch logo. Also, i feel I can rely on Newegg a little better for Warranty claims, than Mobilicity's "approximated 1 month till we get your something, not sure what phone" for my N1.
'Scuse the rant
But seriously, isn't it harder to root/mod the Panache? Thats the feeling i have gotten. What about your SLCD and EMMC versions?
Thanks for your advice on this.
Edit: At this price point I'm not sure if it matters to some, but the Panache with taxes costs $90 more than the Newegg Mytouch with free shipping and tax. $564 vs $474

As of yet the Panache has not been rooted nor has the new bootloader been cracked.
Thank you again mr mystery.
Thats too bad. It is a beautiful phone.
panache not rooted yes as its pretty new, give some time.
panache bootloader is different story as i myself is using MT4G on panache ROM that i flashed using the RUU.
i had S-off before so thats why maybe but atleast on mt4g u can get root using gingerbreak. if u manage to use the RUU by mistake.
Hi, this is my first post. I bought a wildfire as my friend had one with mod7 on it, which looked smart. Didnt realise until after I bought one that the wildfires running android 2.2 seem impossible to root! After reading lots of bullsh*t threads I thought it was impossible. Until i finally managed to root mine and install mod7!
You have to get s-off to start with, which i did at my local market man, who used his XTC clip. I believe, like it or not, this is the only way at the moment to s-off a wildfire running 2.2.1. Once this is done i followed this guide which downgrades to 2.1 then roots the wildfire using an old version of unrevoked, then upgrades to 2.3 rom. Hope this helps someone else....
-- you'll have to google as im not allowed to post links...
google "security xploded wildfire jailbreak"
and the top link there should be the security xploded website with the guide i followed.

Sorry, but, using an XTC Clip on the 2.2.1 Wildfire to get S-OFF and then Root is a process which was known a very long way back. The sticky thread here shows it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939801
What people want is a free software based solution, much like Unrevoked for Android 2.1, which is yet impossible.
Ah well, this is the only technique which i could ever get to actually work!
Well like the title said .i have tried to root the htc glacier/my touch 4g . I have tried every thing exept the gfree one cause I hear that it has some problems.. Anyways I cant make my s=off . I have the 0.86.0000 bootloader and I was woundering if that could be the problem ... I have 2.2.1 . Thank you .

Rooted two mytouches with gfree never had a problem bro. Try considering gfree as an option if it all fails. There is even a video about it on YouTube.

If you still on 2.2.1 then you can easily root with visionary and root.sh.
Unless he has MG2DE eMMC, in which case he'll need gfree.
OP, instead of "hearing" things, read the stickies. And then use gfree.
Well If I go to the bootloader screen it reads
Gracier pvt ship s-on
Hboot-0.86.000
Microp-0429
Radio-26.03.02.26_m
Emmc-boot

Since you don't have engineering bootloader, whatever you read there is irrelevant.
I already wrote what you should do.
So can I just flash the engineering bootloader . And then just root with root.sh ?

I thought it was as obvious as I could make it.
To the [OP] Since you have that chip you have to root using ./gfree. There is no other way to do it. If you try to use the root.sh method you'll end up getting ticked, posting a new thread about how root.sh doesn't work, then we'll remind you of this post. Where @Jack_R1 told you to use ./gfree. Then you'll get all mad because we are being rude, and you'll want to smack us.
So instead of doing that read my "noobie" thread, in my signature, then use the ./gfree and give us a bottle of beer since we helped you.
I have 2 MT4Gs, both rooted and flashed.
Mine wasn't updated and had the SEM04G chip. Easy to root using methods with visionary.
My wife's was 2.3.4 updated with M4G2DE chip. Downgrade was easy enough. Rooting was a pain in the neck.
I went through every option until I got to the True S=Off tutorial using gfree. Once I went through that process, I was permarooted, and then changed to eng bootloader. It can be done without bricking...it's just that much harder to do.

Sorry . I just wanted to be 100 % sure cause Rooting the mytouch 4g is way different .. I have a sidekick 4g and too root that I just had to push one bottom .. but now I know that the only way to root it is using the gfree method ...

gfree is not the only way to permaroot the MT4G, but it's a good way to do it. I was able to get permarooted with the root.sh method with my phone. Had to try a couple of methods a couple of times each before I got to the gfree method, which finally worked for my wife's phone.

You had to point that out...I didn't even notice it! LOL
Well I'm rooted now so... how do I close this thread ??
And I rooted with gfree to s-off then I unrooted but my s was still off.. then I rooted it againg but with root.sh .. then I install the engineering bootloader..
Good deal. Welcome to the world of android modding.
Leave the thread as is. Others can use it as reference.

HTC phones are always harder to root than others, since they require S-Off and all that stuff. but when the hard part is complete, the rest is very simple and easy to understand.
I now know that. Lol. But I also have the hd7 and that's even harder to dev unlock "root" . But now I'm only buying htc phones. I like the UI that they have.. and they get more support from devs .. its been almost a year and the sidekick is till stuck with froyo .. they are saying that tmobile is not going to release a gb update ..
my wifes g2 broke so i got a new one, whats the best way to root now? its up to date on updates?
You can use the guide here.
Or if that's too much of a read: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Vision
(PS: You're most likely going to be using the G2 Gingerbread unlock since I doubt a new one came with Froyo).
Read through that didn't know if there was different way because of the unlocked bootloader from htc

Thats true and when u use HTC Unlock u lose garanty.
You may simply follow the xda-wiki. I rooted my desire z (2.3.3) this July 12th (though it was bought in April, 2011). I don't think htc is intelligent enough to unlock the bootloader in the first place. They still want people to come and ask them for unlocking and then loose warranty. And the warning they have written on the page, my God!. I almost fainted reading their warning.
I don't know but if the bootloader is unlocked, you should be able to boot a custom rom directly by putting it in your sd card (I'm a NOOB so Devs please confirm this).
I was going o use their method but then I read about its futility and decided to go the hard way:laugh:
if you use the offical htc unlocked bootloader you loose your warranty right then, you have to go through many annoying steps to change roms, and being you don't have true s-off it you will be locked out of loads of other stuff
just root and give yourself an engineering hboot with true soff and you will be much happier, if you have a warranty and something goes wrong you can always go back to stock and send it in without their knowledge of ever being rooted
