Visionary 11
Apparently it's no longer in the thread everyone says it is. I want the Old build not version 14, Someone link me to 11 and not a 14 release
I have visionary+ r11. Is that the same? And is there a reason why there are no more links for this version? Is it something I can upload and share the link here?
is this it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9278164&postcount=899
i didnt check it, so yeah...
I have a copy of it if you still need it
r14 works fine, I've used it on several MyTouch 4Gs. If something is wrong, it likely has to do with something else.

Hi Everone,
I just picked up a used Glacier for my son and I was trying to ROOT using Visionary/Root.sh, but for some reason Visionary 14 wont even Temp root it and gets stuck and wont allow screen to shut off until I go back and back out of it. Even after a Battery Pull.
It has BootLoader 0.86.0000 and this isnt my first to Root it's my 4th and I havn't had any problems with the others. Should I use PD15IMG to Restore, or what are you guys thinking im doing wrong here?
Thanks in advance
Try version r11. Some people, including myself, had much better results using that version on the MT4G. I don't have a download link, but I'm sure it's still somewhere on XDA.

Yea I just found a link for it and I will try that. I have never had this problem before...
EDIT: That did it!! I am now S-OFF with 0.85.2007 Eng. Bootloader. Thanks TeeJay
I want to root my phone, and am new at this. Where can I find an EXTREMELY simple youtube tutorial on what to use to root my MT4G running gingerbread 2.3.4. Any suggestions? If so, please email me at mytouch4g2011 (at) gmail (.) com
Thank you very much in advance.

I don't think there's a way to root 2.3.4
Maybe Gingerbreak? But never seen it.
Or you could use the PD15IMG.zip to go back to FROYO then use the other two methods to root like root.sh or gfree.
I too am new at this, however I have been told you can't root if you are running 2.3.4. I've heard it will be weeks but again, I'm new and am going by what I've been told.

I don't think you can downgrade back to Froyo from 2.3.4 either. I tried and it stated the software was older that the current version.
Please, try searching before posting additional thread on the subject. There are 3 threads each day with the same question.

So I lost my phone..the new one came in last night. And it came with 2.3.4.. I tried to down grade it..followed all the instructions from the forum and everything worked fine..until the bootloader part. It said that it couldn't find the
PD15img.zip file when I put it in the root of the sd card. And then I followed the FAT32 method to make the phone read my sdcard..but that still Didn't work..now what?? Used the search bar but could find anything..

Look in the vision g2 section I was in the same boat as you there is a tut in those forums for downgrading to 2.2.1 with adb it also works for mt4g wish I still had link but its there
Same here... Lost my phone and received the replacement yesterday (off course version 2.3.4). Turned out it is a refurbished, the speaker not working, the earpiece not working. I missed another release of lovely Miui
I just happened to see this post and am curious what the problem is... Why are you downgrading it???
I have a Mytouch 4g (HTC Glacier) which was having issues and I just got the replacement. I have not even turn it on, but I have not doubt it will be 2.3.3-- their latest OTA udpate.
Is there going to be any problem rooting this?? Again, it alarmed me that people were trying to downgrade..
Has the firmware/bootloader changed???

There is no method to root 2.3.4 yet. That's why people have to downgrade.
Do you mean like downgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.2.1 root it, and then upgrade to 2.3.4?
But the only way to do that is if we had the stock 2.3.4 rom, which we don't have, correct?
So I can skip the root and wait, or I can downgrade and be able to use 50% of the apps which I would otherwise be unable to use as they require root.
This sucks.... I am sure someone is working hard on this... but I am surprised there has not been any method (even one that was risky -- as in one typo and you've bricked it) figured out by someone...
Ummm.. Next question then, Can anyone tell me any obvious benefits of the TMO 2.3.4 stock? Is it fast, or mediocre? Or is it just worthless due to the fact that you cannot root it?

Didn't quite understand what you mean but yes, if you got the phone pre-installed with TMO's 2.3.4 then there's no way to root that. You would have to downgrade back to Froyo then root it.
There really are no benefits to TMO's stock 2.3.4 since CM7 2.3.5, VU's 2.3.4 and MIUI's 2.3.5 GB are all better and faster. And even if you liked TMO's GB version for some reason there are rooted and deodexed versions to flash in the dev section. So there really is no downside to rooting.
And as previously stated, the only way to downgrade would be to use that thread in the G2 section which requires ADB.
If you have any questions I just finished downgrading my replacement phone and and rooting via gfree last night.
And before last night I've never even used ADB before.
Found 2 threads that helped me do just that.
Got it all downgraded then followed a video to root gfree. (mackster248)
(Never rooted that way before either.)
Anyway PM if you need help. Maybe I can help you out.

I came over from Sprint Sunday. I bought a new MT4G, and it had 2.3.4 on it. I had a bad feeling there wasnt gonna be a root method for it. I jumped on my PC and did a few google searches. I came up with this method to downgrade:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
It went perfect. I also looked at a few of the root methods. I found this one to be easiest for me:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/TMobile_myTouch_4G:_Full_Update_Guide
I only post this becuase I havent seen any links posted and I imagine alot more people are gonna end up with the GB MT4G's out of the box. Total time to downgrade and root was less than 30 minutes.
same thing happened to me, I tried the adb process but it's hard. so I gave up.. Good luck to you

But this method cannot be used if you have 2.3.4 stock, correct? I looked at it quickly.... it doesn't seem to mention downgrading (unless I overlooked it), so it would require downgrade to Froyo first, correct?

Yes you would half to downgrade to 2.2.1 to root there is no way to root 2.3.4 right now
Yea, unlike most of the other HTC. Phones that got a 2.3.4 update, revolution doesn't support unlocking the mytouch 4g without a downgrade. On the first page of this thread I posted a link to downgrade and the easiest way I found to root. Someone also posted links on this page. I found a few other root methods but they required you to install apps to gain temp root access or download files on the phones browser. The link I found actually only requires you to dl and unzip a few files to your PC and run maybe 10 or 12 commands in a terminal. Very easy.

Seems like even a year later the best method to root the mytouch 4g is downgrading. I can see why people hate HTC phones

I'd love to get root on my MT4G, but I just can't seem to get it to work. I've tried the guides. Every time I get Visionary + running, I just get a black screen (aside from my notification bar) and it never goes any further. What should I do? I don't have root when this happens and I can't get it to go any further.

You can't root with the 2.3.4 upgrade. None of the methods works, not even Visionary.
To root your phone, you need to downgrade to stock 2.2.1
Now use root methods like visionary, root.sh, gfree
Wow... I think I'm looking at the right guide for this... (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832642)
That's a lot of work... Just to make sure, if you perma-root, can you upgrade back to gingerbread and still use root apps, etc?

Use this guide to downgrade. Yes you can upgrade using GB roms after pemroot.
Thanks, I'm midway through using it now. Though, trying to find a link to a Stock GB Rom with root permissions... there isn't one in the resource bible so I'm hoofing it through the Developement board. I know I'm asking a lot, but anyone got a link to one?

Yes, there is a rooted version of the stock 2.3.4 Rom. Just go through the link in my signature.
You can use it after you are permrooted.
... I swear I am usually a lot more observant than that, lol. Thanks a lot ^^.
Just got a new MyTouch 4G:
Android version 2.3.4
HTC Sense version 2.1
Software number 2.19.531.1
Wanted to get temp root so I followed instructions from:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/10/how-to-temporarily-root-the-t-mobile-mytouch-4g-htc-glacier
Set the USB Debugging to ON
Set the Fastboot to OFF
Installed "com.modaco.visionaryplus.r14.apk".
Temp Root After Reboot is ON
System R/W After Root is ON
Then I clicked TempRoot Now
Visionaryplus is rooting device, please wait ...
I have waited for more than 10 minutes.
Nothing happened.
What should I do?
First downgrade to the pre-OTA MT4G build, which is Android 2.2.1. Then you'll be able to use Visionary to temp-root. Sounds like you need to do a little searching/reading. This has been covered over and over.
Yeah. Also VISIONary will only work for good-chip phones (or bad, may be mixed up), but gfree works with whatever you have. To root the mytouch, YOU MUST BE ON FROYO
