i am not sure if this is the right place for this but i am confused on something.
i am going to install cyanogen on my mytouch 4g and i was reading the wiki
the wiki says after you root it, it will be S-off but then it says that you have to
flash the radio to have S-off.
If my phone works fine can i just root it and install cyanogen? do i have to flash the radio?
thanks,

If you read our development section, you'll see a thread in regards on how to root your phone. It mentions nothing about s-off needing a radio. If you temp root, then turn s-off, you will not "need" a new radio.

Help...
Well I basically don't know where I am right now
Ive been researching how to mod a My-touch 3G for a long time and im a first time rooter
I'm Trying to get Cyanogen Mod 5.07 Hopefully but... I followed the directions at the Unlockr website not knowing it had different recovery than the ones needed for a CyangenMod
I got mixed up with multiple guides about rooting my phone in the first place and there are SO MANY different things to install...
Well I got my MT3G BACK to CupCake Android 1.5... i did the unroot process
But the wierd thing is that I cant seem to ROOT IT? FUNNY?
I dont know whats wrong but I followed the step and video at unlockr website and it just doesnt seem to work
and tried the androidandme site and their guide doesnt work for me too
Ive formatted my sd and did a factory reset too
I really want Cyangen 5.07 but it seems too complicated for me and I dont want to end up like before?
Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
radio 2.22.23.02
hboot 1.33.0006
cpld 10

Did you look in Cyanogen's website under wiki? The directions are clear and all the files you need are there. I would post link but this is account is considered new still so it isn't letting me yet.

Thanks for your reply but the thing is that I see websutes that clearly show you don't need a goldcard to root and that's what I want. Fir some reasons my phone just won't root. ..

Just understand one thing: Goldcard avoids check of CustomerID.
ROM has CIDs, your phone has CID. If phone-CID is in ROM CIDs list - you can flash without goldcard. This means official ROM for your phone. If you have T-Mobile MyTouch 3G (old version) - you can use only COC10 ROM or update to Android 1.6 (i forgot full name), i repeat - without goldcard.
If you have MT3G v1.2 - you must use goldcard, as unroot-method is using some special ROMs with other CIDs (non T-Mobile). Or use official ROMs without gc.
Okay, I have searched in the Wiki and such and I havent found anything. Sorry if im posting a dumb question. I also dont have a extra SD card for a gold card. Whats the easiest way to root/ safest? is the 1.76.0010 still considered a perfect SPL?
Sorry im just really new to this, i promise in time i wont be asking dumb questions like this haha.
mate check this link out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=680359 it says its for 1.76.0009 but it worked for me and i was using 1.76.0008 perfect spl
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
when I get time i shall try this, hopefully it works.
hey try this app
Universal Androot app i was able to root my phone.
How did you wind up unlocking your phone with perfect spl 1.76.0010. I flashed the official rogers 2.1 update 3.54.631.4 ROM and am unlock and try some gingerbread.
I have a mytouch 3g without the 3.5 mm headset jack and im trying to find a reliabble root method. The phone is running 2.2.1 build number FRG83D. If anyone could help me out with step by step directions ono how to root this device i would really appreciate it.
i have the same phone with same build.
i have tried to use the procedure described in the unlockr dot com url.
How To: Root the HTC MyTouch 3G

(cannot link the url because this is my first post here)
but i am not able to go beyond the first step.
in the hboot it does not pick up the sappimg.nbh file.
can you try it and see if it works. want to know if its the build or my device thats the problem.
thanks
First off, wrong section, this should be in General, not Development.
As for what your trying to do, try using the SuperOneClick method, found here. Your probably trying to root using the goldcard method which will work, but isn't what you want to do. Use the method I linked and let me know if it works. Hopefully, it will and didn't get patched.
frg83d build breaks 1 click root.
just read this article on theandroidphone dot com
2.2.1 is out, breaks 1-click root
1 click root will not work on this phone
Sorry man. Im new to the whole forum scene

I heard from somewhere that the 2.2.1 update fixes that flaw so the 1-click method is probably not going to work. If he uses the goldcard method it will downgrade his radio too since I am pretty sure this new update will also come with a new radio. Just recently, I used the update.zip method of flashing to the new radio and it went flawlessly. Not noticing any difference in it though regarding performance.
And yes I was feeling... dangerous when I flashed the radio.
EDIT: Oh! Thread moved.
LOL. Yes we do get the new radio. Saw someone post their system info on the t-mobile forums that had gotten the update. Hopefully we'll see a fix for one of the one-click root apps soon.

One click worked for me on my 2.2.1 without problem. What gave me problem is that new update was restoring origonal recovery after reboot. I believe best way to do it is flash 1.5 SAPPIMG or whatever that file called, than install rooted 1.6 and then already rooted froyo. Dont foeget to install recovery from amon ra or clockwork when you will be on 1.5. Tutorial on how to do it is in dasansrule post, link is in my tutorial: development/[custom Radio SPL] sticky

Flash a 1.32 RUU, then root and do s-off. Simple as that.
As Hawk said. You won't be able to actually preserve it, but have to root it again, as you will lose root by flashing stock.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
what do you mean by "back to stock", if you wanna preserve "everything" it's not really stock!
but, i guess you could restore your nandroid backup... or do what guys above said so!
I assume he wants stock RUU ROM, no custom ROM or kernel, .... but with root intact.
He will lose the root by flashing stock RUU.
So just root again and not flash any custom kernels or custom ROM.
I don't know why, up to him, but he just asked the question, and we provided the answer.

If you are selling it I would guess IMPO, it is better unlocked anyway.
And the same goes for the ROM, I would advise the Ace_HTC_WWE, rather then the _Vodafone one, which proberly has a full of their blow-wear, as you must know what it was like when you purchased it.
But like anything else, the choice is your.

yes definatly im going to make sure it has super cid, so yeah ill beusing the WWE version, thanks for your help
very very very much appreciated
EDIT: so i dont need to worry about upgrading the radio? or downgrading?
Follow part of this downgrade thread. You need to DL the PD98IMG.zip file.
As you already have root, skip the adb temp root part, and follow this copied directly from the above guide;
•Put PD98IMG.zip to your SD card. Do not put the file into a folder...... Do not extract
•Reboot while holding volume down, it will go to the bootloader
•Follow the instructions (start the update)
•Done. You can now proceed with old S-OFF methods, and remove the PD98IMG.zip from your SD. I recommend Radio S-OFF for new users.
Then,
Follow this guide for temp/permroot with [URL="http://android.modaco.com/content/software/320350/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/"]visionary and S-off[/URL] using
Easy Radio Tool DL Link at end of 2nd post
Then,
Follow this guide for ENG S-off using the
Easy S-off tool DL link at bottom of page
Hope this helps, just make sure you read every in full at least twice.

umm not sure if you understand where i am, im on a custom rom already mate, im going back to stock, i dont need to downgrade
Well when you follow Upintheair's instructions, you get a stock ROM, and it is not really a downgrade because you do not have to use the command line commands. You do not have to run the radio s-off tool, though. Just run ENG S-OFF tool.
The other way is to flash Raidroid Stockify series ROM, it is a rooted stock ROM that you can flash in clockworkmod.
Greetings,
I have purchased a MyTouch 4G from The States that was on T-Mobile and I have intentions on using it here (Canada) with Mobilicity, which is also on HSPA 900/1700/2100. I intend to flash either a stock Panache rom (which is the Canadian version without the T-Mobile stuff), RoyalPanache or I might go with RoyalGinger or something of that nature. I came across this in the Ultimate Rooting Guide:
[...]It will set up Super CID on your device allowing you to flash any carriers rom (not just tmobile). Giving you more freedom with your choice of software. The software still needs to be device specific to the glacier for compatability reasons though. Like vodafone glacier roms etc.

I just wanted to check that I understood correctly. Am I correct in my understanding that I would need to do ultimate root in order to set Super CID so I can flash any of the (non T-mobile) roms I mentioned? Or to put it another way; is the ultimate root my only option? I only ask because I'm quite nervous about rooting and guides such as this seemed to be more friendly...
Thank you!
I am trying to find any information on flashing the Panache Canadian ROM to US HTC Glacier that has no recovery and is not rooted. I can't find an RUU.exe anywhere. I don't understand why nobody has responded to all the Mytouch 4G questions! ALiens abducted them. I've been looking for hours.
You need a goldcard to attempt it, and you can as well just try instead of waiting for answers - in the worst case, it'll fail and won't flash.

Way to speak for thousands of people. And what a nice response as well...douche.
If you already have S-OFF you can flash Panache-based custom ROMs just fine.
If you want to flash the completely stock Panache RUU or PD15IMG.zip, and you have S-OFF, then you may need SuperCID or a gold card.
The RUU files are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216076
If you flash a RUU after rooting by root.sh, you'll revert to S-ON in the bootloader. This is not great with a Gingerbread RUU, because then you will have to go through a more complicated downgrade procedure if you ever want to re-root.
If you use the gfree "ultimate root" S-OFF method, then you will get to keep your S-OFF after flashing any RUU. If you have a ROM without root but you're still S-OFF, then you can use one of the files here to install ClockwordMod recovery and get a simpler route back to root:
