OK i just got this phone today and want to get miui demonspeed on it. I know i have to root and all that but not sure whats guides to read exactly. I have a vibrant thats rooted and with miui as well but not to sure on the mytouc. What exactly do i ahve to do to get my mytouc right out of the box to miui. Thank you.
well if you know you have to root i guess your on the right track. Id say check out the post on the good emmc vs the bad one (in the general section) and determine which you have first. If its the bad one then you'll prolly not want to root at all.
If its the good one then you'll need to
1.perm root
2.flash clockwork
3.backup everything
4.wipe
5.flash Miui
6.Sit back and enjoy
OK i have the m42gde...What does that mean for me?

1.You have the bad chip/EMMc not the good one from ol sammy
2.You 'll need to use gfree method, visionary doesnt work...
3.That chip is prone to hi rates of failure check forum and brothers of MT4G...
4. Be extra careful with flashing
5. After you're rooted, you just flash the rom like on your sammy

This is a false statement, as there has already been a case of completely stock M4G2DE chip failing with no root whatsoever - which means, whether you root it by root.sh or by gfree, it'll still be prone to failure.
The root guides are in Development section.

so i checked the emmc chip on my new one and i got SEM04G (woot!!).
since i have the "good" chip, does that mean that im safe to root and not have any errors or encounter any problems?

Keep in mind with a rooted phone and a bad eMMC, you are using a ticking time bomb. Keep in mind the phone will fail [brick], it might not be now, it might not be a week but it will happen.
That's not true... It will only fail if you don't know what you are doing and that could happen w a good chip too ... When u root via gfree, proceed to also flash the 85. 2007 ENG bootloader

There are well educated, when it comes to Android, people all over the Internets when it comes to this phone going FUBAR due to a faulty eMMC chipset.
If the chip set is bad it's a ticking timebomb.
That's an opinion that anyone is entitled to but I am speaking purely based on personal experience... I have rooted many phones with both good and bad chips, none of which have ever had in any problems... And based on actual results the phone with a "bad" eMMC chip holds max overclock much better and easier than my phone with a good chip... I was one who went back to stock on the bad chip without flashing stock radio and everyone said it was the end of the world and it would never have s off again... However after editing the misc. Img in mmcblk0p17 with hex editor I now have s off... So it just depends on who's flashing the phone

Check this out, i would be willing to bet this will work. It sounds much more difficult than it actually is. Just follow the steps and it will be simple.. i downloaded HEX QL editor which is free and super easy to use.... the version number that u need to edit is on the furthest right side (misc.img). The directions below are easy to follow and worked for me to get s off and root when it seemed impossible. Long story short, you will pull the misc.img to your sdcard and then plug phone into computer and open the misc.img on sdcard using the hex editor. Change the version number and save that file as miscnew.img and place on sdcard. Important to remember that the version you will be flashing is unable to obtain root however gfree and visionary will still carry out the proper root process you just wont notice permroot until a custom rom is flashed....i realized this after running the gfree process at least 8 times lmao . Ask any questions u have that are unclear from this link.

You can easily sell the phone with S-OFF. It can actually increase the value to so wanna be tech nerd who's too afraid to turn S-OFF himself.
Seriously go pick any phone and look them up on eBay. The rooted ones usually sell for more than the unrooted ones.

Root it real quick!
All you need is to put the 2.2 PD15IMG.zip on your SD card and reboot into bootloader and you'll have a 2.2 phone pretty quick. Then you can run Visionary and you'll be set. Should take a total of 15 minutes, including the time to download 2.2 and Visionary.
Then you'll have a fully rooted S-Off phone to sell on eBay. Be sure to put that in big letters in the auction description.

So he's visiting from college, and he wanted me to root his phone. So I checked his emmc before I started and he had the bad one

"Not noob" and your post don't go well together.
Visionary is a method of achieving temp-root under 2.2.1. Doesn't work under 2.3.4.
Gfree or root.sh are methods for achieving perm-root. They also don't work under 2.3.4.
When rooting "bad" chip, root.sh method will not work with >99% probability. You can only root "bad" chip with gfree.
If you read some more ("recently discovered dangers" thread in Development, and another zillion of threads in General and Q&A with the same annoying questions), you'll discover that gfree ISN'T the cause of failure for "bad" chips.
To use gfree, you'll most probably need to downgrade. Read the relevant thread in G2 section. Link - in Glacier Wiki, under "Root", "Gingerbread".
btw I was able to Root my Bro's MT4G with visionary r14 on the perm root option and It is still working fine today....
Perm root on visionary does not work unless you're S-Off.
With the "bad chip" there is no way to get S-Off without gfree.
I call B.S.

By the way 2.3.4 is Gingerbread, I have a MyTouch 4G, and I have the stock ROM from T-Mobile update on it. My question is, is there anyway to root 2.3.4?
[Not Edited, but thought I should add] If there is no way to root 2.3.4, I will downgrade to 2.3.3. (If someone wants to help me with that, please, I will be glad)

After doing that, how do you get back to 2.3.4 without losing root privileges?
You install custom recovery and flash a pre-rooted 2.3.4 ROM.
There's always an option to remove HBOOT from the 2.3.4 PD15IMG.ZIP and flash it through HBOOT, and then install a custom recovery and flash su.zip in it. But it's a bit more complicated.

download a custom gingerbread rom
here is one that's pretty popular;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504718
If you are S-Off
Grab Froyo 2.2.1 zip from this forum. Make sure it is called PD15IMG.zip and place it on the root of your sdcard
Shut phone off & boot into HBoot (vol down + pwr button)
Have it load the PD15IMG.zip file and once its done your phone will be back to running Froyo.
Now grab Visionary+ & root.rar (from this forum) & a terminal emulator & a file explorer.
Put visonary+.apk on your sdcard and run it via file explorer for temp root
Extract root.sh to /sdcard/root
now load up terminal emulator and type:
su
cd /sdcard/root
sh root.sh
Let it run (takes a minute sometimes)
Once that is done go back to Visionary+ and "Perm root" reboot and you should have perm root.
Now just Clockword Rom manager and you can flash whatever ICS rom you want. (running CM9-unofficial personally)
I wish i could remove a thanks.
This will only work if the phone has a good eMMC chipset. If they have a bad one. it will not work.

Never used gfree since I don't own a PC. All bad chip mt4g I've rooted have been rooted within the device with visionary and root.sh method from the unlockr.
I have only ever followed the guide on XDA for ultimate S=OFF rooting guide using visionary, seems to work the best.

Never used gfree since I don't own a PC. All bad chip mt4g I've rooted have been rooted within the device with visionary and root.sh method from the unlockr.

I used gfree without a PC. Terminal emulator ftw.

trying to root via gfee and can't get visionary to work, it just says "rooting" forever. I'm on stock Froyo... any idea?

Gave up on root.sh? Lol. Make sure usb debugging is enabled and reboot between attempts.
Ya figured gfree was better plus Sim unlock. I did both of those. Still same thing

Are you trying to perm or temp root?
