Problem rooting new MT4G

I have a red mt4g and is rooted no problem running cm7. My wife picked up a mt4g and wants rid of the sense crap. I've tried everything and can't get root to stick. I've been reading the threads and am curious people mention your phone being pre-ota. What ota update are they referring to. Only thing I've noticed is my phone is PVT ENG and hers is PVT SHIP.
Any thoughts?

Nevermond its just not taking root. Here's her boot

Update 2.2.1

Shortly after receiving my MT4G there was an OTA update. Supposedly this should occur for all MT4G's, afaik.

What method are you using?? Give us some more info. Gfree method has been known to work for others having issues. I'd suggest trying that out.

Same problem I encountered with my Bro's phone with the same HBOOT as yours. .86.00 is a new HBOOT and I think it needed to downgrade?
My phone is HBOOT .85 and I have no problem rooting it over and over.

ur doing it wrong.
temproot, gfree, permroot, reboot.
flash cwm recovery
flash roms, enjoy

No offense but I've rooted about a dozen of these in the last few weeks for friends with zero problems. Only thing different is this phone is a SHIP model with a newer HBOOT. I've been using grankins walkthrough using visionary r14 + terminal and root files. Haven't tried the afb method as I don't owner a computer to afb with

no offense, but i still think your doing it wrong.
my mytouch4g info is as follows
pvt ship s-off
hboot .86.0000
its rooted, running cm7 without issues...
your hboot being .85 if im not mistaken is you installed the engineering hboot as well.. if you only perform temproot, gfree, permroot, reboot. and don't do the engineering hboot, you will still maintain the .86 hboot which is fine for flashing custom roms.
the .85 hboot gives you more flashable abilities, ie official rom releases from other countries or whatever. unnecessary for someone who just uses custom known working roms..

My phone has the same hboot as the phone you are trying to root. I've never tried any other method but, I was able to gain root using grankin's True permaroot guide. But if I remember correctly you will need adb for it.

I had this issue today. Ive rooted a few of these including floor models at local stores. This one today wouldnt turn s off. No matter what method I did. I ended pushing the root files through adb to the device and rebooting after everystep. Once it got s-off no roms would load except iced glacier. Royal glacier and thunderbolt both wouldnt make it past the splash screen. In the end got root but wondering why this was such a pain.

need some help

hello everyone i need some help i looked around but did not find what im looking for so here im well today i got an ota update and im rooted dont know why i did it but i did so it went after restart it comes up with a triangle with a ! in it and under a green android guy will not go past that so is i take the batt out and start it boots fine but after about 2mins it say power off could someone help thanks so much.
Steven

If you still need help I would search XDA on a way to downgrade. Maybe a PD15IMG.zip file or something like that where you can boot into bootloader. I'm not sure, but I think searching [mytouch4g gingerbread to froyo downgrade] or something similar would help. God luck!

Is your phone S=on or S=off? What bootloader version do you have?

glacier pvt eng s-off
hboot-0.85.2007 (pd1510000)
microp-0429
radio-26.03.02.26_m
emmc-boot

You have the stock radio and eng bootloader and it looks like you're rooted. Where did you see that you have the ota? You may want to try to just flash your recovery, it may have been removed if you got something ota.

Kinda odd that you already now have S-OFF. But you're gonna have to downgrade back to 2.2.1 first. This thread will show you everything that you need to do/know.

Doesn't gingerbreak.apk work if S-Off?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

Gingerbreak won't work.
On the other hand, having S-OFF allows it to flash PD15IMG with recovery, for example. Which in turn allows everything else.

You totally didn't need to use the XTC clip! And what kind of a noob are you if you have an XTC clip? ;-)
But now that you have...
Go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200147
Use the file that just contains ClockworkMod and ENG HBoot:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Y2A16P54
Then boot into recovery and flash any ROM you want to. Or root the stock ROM using the superuser update zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828 (use the "ef" Eclair/Froyo version)

DHD vibrate all the time

My DHD reboot frenquantly so I flash rom several times even using RUU. rebooting issue hasn't be solved but now I meet a bigger problem.
My DHD vibrate all the time about once 3 seconds. Only in fastboot/bootloader the vibration is stop.
The vibtation being from the white screen only stop when the phone is power off.
Who can give me some advice how to fix this problem. Thanks a lot!

Take it for repair, it's most likely a hardware fault...

1. My phone(HTC inspire 4G) reboot very often. so I deside to flash RUU to have a test.I used the follow RUU down from htc.com/us

It's very strange, I suppose it should be "S-ON" but it's still be "ship s-off"
2. then I tried to use aahk to unlock it but failed.
I used a lower version RUU,but this one is not download from htc offical site directly. then I can unlock my phone using aahk.

4.after that I flashed some roms.
I'm not sure the vibration begin from the unlocking or flashing.
I tried to using the RUU and Roms which haven't the vibration issue to flash my phone again. but can not solve the vibration problem.
I guess this issue caused by some softeware version not match. Is there some way I can clear my phone completly?
How can I check the exactly version of my hardware and to find the right version of hboot,radio and so on?
Thanks a lot!

ok, I guess the RUU you flashed is the froyo one. Was your Inspire shipped with Gingerbread? And why on earth are you willing to run the Hack Kit if you are already S-OFF??

When I got my inspre 4g, it's already been unlocked and install Gingerbread. but reboot frenquently.
I use hack kit because it was locked after flashed some rom by myself. so I have to unlock it again.
Do you mean hack kit is for modify S-ON to S-OFF?
I supposed RUU can overwrite every thing on my phone. I could unlock and flash rom from very begining. but after I installed the RUU, my phone is still ship s-off.

Could you please suggest which program is running when I start recovery?
My phone don't vibrate when it's in fastboot model but in recovery. Is this helpful to locate the root cause of this issue? Thanks a lot!

vibrate issue is solved by
1. fastboot oem lock.
2. flash the RUU again.

[Q] How to upgrade android OS 1.5 to ≥ 2.1?

Hey guys, I just lost my phone and got an htc magic phone from a friend and i would like to download certain apps, but some of them require android 2.1 OS or higher..
is there any way to upgrade the OS from 1.5 to ≥ 2.1? If anyone knows, please post a step by step procedure for the upgrade..
the specs of my htc magic are:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT - 1.33.0009 (SAPP10000)
CPLD - 12
RADIO - 3.22.20.17
May 8 2009, 21:02:32

Step one, root.
Step two, custom recovery
Step three, install a rom you like
On android 1.5, universal androot is an easy app to gain root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598
An old version of rom manager could be used for a custom recovery. If it refuses to work (android 1.5 is very old..) you could install it manually, or use another app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=acr.recovery.installation.utility
For a custom rom, my biased recommendation for a 32a device like yours is my cm7 rom. Find it it my signature

You are good if you follow the above instructions from tvall.
You can download an old version of Rom Manager from here:
http://www.4shared.com/android/87Z5gzSF/comkoushikduttarommanager.html

tvall, after i flashed the cm7 rom and kernel, then reboot, my htc magic is just stuck at the cm7 animation loop..
any ideas why and/or how to fix this ?
Edit: nevermind, i just skipped the wipe cache, wipe/factory reset and wipe dalvik cache steps before flashing.. now its up and running! thanks heaps tvall!

By the way, that old rom manager doesn't work on my poor old htc magic. I followed some youtube video on how to do flash recovery using RA's recovery instead and that seems to work lol.

though now im stuck without internet access? (no data from network provider)

Check apn settings
Sent from my Evo V 4G using Tapatalk 2

the apn settings seem fine.
I just found out my internet only works if i tick both "data enabled" and "international/national data roaming". im not overseas or anything
is this normal? will i get charged more for using data?
