That's not true, you can root 2.2.2... but as said earlier, use the search button.
You can but a xtc Clip is required, because alparevx haven't released a exploit for the new h-boot

You can't root with Unrevoked. You can root with XTC Clip or, once released, AlphaRevX.

Agreed. Things are far more complex than they were in the early days. It would be a long road. Rooting is the easy part

I disagree. It took an act of Congress to get root and install a new ROM just 8 months ago. ****'s cake now.
Well I went through a little time being nervous too but I read and read and just did it. Never asked 1 question. Still rarely do. I'm just saying if this is how the journey is starting it's gonna be long.

Doesn't matter for achieving root. That doesn't come into play until your flashing recovery/ROM/kernel.

Well it's mainly because most of the root procedures include flashing a new recovery/ROM. The idea of rooting in itself isn't device specific. It's simply adding the su binaries to the ROM.
I don't know what Hboot is and i don't know if i have 32a or 32b. I have like 250 mb of memory I think, I read somewhere that 32b has 192? I dunno.
My baseband is 62.50SJ.20.17u_2.22.28.25
Kernel 2.6.32.9-g93b855e
build number 3.56.531.1.cl300801 release keys
How do I know if i have the correct USB drivers installed?:
You NEED to put your phone on USB Debugging mode
You NEED to install make sure the Android drivers for your phone are installed
Make sure you DO NOT mount your SD card.
If you still can't get something to run, try doing it in recovery mode.
I know I can mount my sd card when I use usb, but does that mean the usb drivers are installed?
Do u have sdk installed on your PC?
Sent from my Dream/Sapphire using XDA Premium App
I have SDK installed on my pc, but I don't know how to use it.
Well I used that oneclick root and it worked. niiice, although when I go to emulator and type SU nothing happens, but when the program did the root test, it said it was rooted. so I don'tk now
I am not sure on even how to get into any mode after phone is shut off. I want to try installing some roms, but obviously I need radio and spl to install. I don't know how to do that with the MT3G
When u open terminal u get
$
When u type su u should get a new line with
#
Does this happen?
Read the stickies at the top of this general section. U will find all the info u can handle on fastboot,adb,sdk and so on
Sent from my Dream/Sapphire using XDA Premium App
Yes i got SU I had to restart the phone to get it to engage.
Thinking of unrooting my phone and rerooting it. Witch way should I do tjis with, gfree or the vishonary and terminal way?
Sent from my WhiteHTCMyTouch4G using XDA Premium App
That depends, if i was you i would check to see which emmc chip you have as there is two of them and search which one is the good one,and if you have the good one go gfree if you need the sim unlock if not stick to the visonary. Just my two pennies. I rooted with gfree and havent had any problem..
Well im thinking of doing this because when I did it the first time I used vishonary and it screwed my phone up and got stuck on mytouch screen (aka bootloop). I used theunlckr.com vishonary way with my g2 didnt work so I looked through the comments and found an xda thread and did it that way. Did the same on mytouch and screwes it up. Had to pay 50 bucks to fix it
Sent from my WhiteHTCMyTouch4G using XDA Premium App
gfree is VERY simple and has not been linked to the dying eMMC chip issues. That has been shown to be a hardware issue. i have the "bad" chip and have used gfree 3 times and my phone is still fine.

Well, actually gfree is linked to bad eMMCs, but it is not the cause. It seems that a phone with the bad eMMC can only be rooted with gfree (not the Visionary/root.sh method).

Whichever works for you.
If you're already rooted - no reason to unroot, unless your phone stopped functioning.

gfree works great, but the advantage to the Visionary method is you automatically end up with the engineering bootloader. The gfree method requires an extra series of steps to do that.

It will still say S-OFF, if rooted with gfree, whatever you do - because it turns off the security flag for real. Your feelings don't have anything to do with the fact that your phone is S-OFF now, and by unrooting it you won't accomplish anything - but judging by the amount of threads you've opened by now, it'll cost XDA a lot of server space .

No root for the OTA yet, but downloading to 2.2.1 and rooting that will net you the same result as rooting the update. Are you just worried about downgrading? I think i have seen you ask this before.
I just got a device with the ota. I just don't know how to do it there's no guides.

I also can confirm that the downgrade works. Just make sure you download the usb drivers for the MT4G and read about ADB it's very easy if you follow the instructions.
I was concerned about bricking my phone also but it does work.
Good Luck.

I believe that they are working on a way to break 2.3.4 still. I haven't noticed any post confirming a successful root of the OTA update.
There has been some talk about gingerbreak doing something but it was experimental and I didn't do a whole lot of digging so I wouldn't recommend even trying.

Does anyone know if there's an updated guide to downgrading? I think the links (like to download the JAVA JDK) needs to be updated. I've spent hours reading and trying to find exactly what I need to download. I've tried installing 3 different JDK and none of them will let me install the Android SDK.
Edit: I found a fix to my problem. The Android SDK wasn't detecting JDK, all I had to do was click back then next, WTF...

yes, downgrade to 2.2.1, root, flash the rom of your choice
you have to downgrade at the moment.If you to to the development section for our phone, then look for resource Bible. In the guide section, there's 2 threads on how to downgrade your phone to 2.2.1 . Once that is done you can either root with gfree or root.sh.
From my fist to your face, enjoy.
You can do the above mentioned.. or just wait. There are ppl working on a straight method.
