Is there anyway to access a dual boot and if so how?
I don't believe its really been attempted but I do recall a thread from awhile back explaining that it wouldn't work, id post it but I'm on my phone
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
I searched awhile back about this. Came up empty. there is a few phones that can do it, one if those being the hd2 or whatever its called. Searched for like a week and read a couple forums where devs said it can't be done and they listed reasons but don't remember what they were.
If you find anything post back here.

Just found this, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.drx2.bootmanager&hl=en and Mytouch 4g is listed as working device...may be ill give it a try!
Boot manager can be fickle. Make sure you enable large boot.img in settings.

Boot Manager has some anti-piracy measures in place. Looks like you somehow sent up a red flag.
Does it wort the 3$?
That's a matter of opinion. I bought it and rarely use it, but that may change next week.

what the hell is that supposed to mean? ive spent DAYS on google and found a million people saying how to do it but none of them work. if you werent tryin to help, why even post???
I was trying to help you help yourself. The third topic I looked at listed how to do it from adb and I even checked it with my phone to make sure it works. You didn't say you had tried anything and it wasn't working, you just asked how to do it. Maybe if you had taken a little more time explaining exactly what your problem was I would've been able to have been of better assistance, or someone else could have. The negativity in your last post will turn people off from trying to help by the way, maybe something to keep in mind when your asking for voluntary aid.

sorry. but adb wont work with my MT3G. it works fine with my cliq, i cant figure it out. i was hopin to find a way to do itthrough terminal or gscript? is that possible?
I don't believe there is any topic like this for the G2. Just wondering if there is any psfreedom app for the vision yet. I know it just got rooted like two days ago, but just wondering if there is a psfreedom out for another android phone that works with the G2

imo the best way to do the psfreedom is in recovery. that way you dont have wifi issues and other little things ive heard about. i kow there are recoveries based on amon_ra's recovery for the g1 that have this included. im sure someone can do it to cwm or base off of amon_ra's for us.
Well I checked the site and the G2 ain't on it so was wondering if there is anyway.. and to the $28 I know they sell em but id rather just have it on my phone so I can take it easier. Since I take my phone everywhere I wouldn't have to worry about leavin it behind =p.

You only need to plug in the phone/usb dongle to boot up the system. Once it has started up, you can unplug. Yes, I have tried it. I've been doing this since the port came over to the G1 a good while ago. I would like to know where you heard this from.
I'm also waiting for a psfreedom on G2!! I dropped my G1 one too many times and it's finally dead... /tear, good times w/ the G1
i broke my G1 sometime back , i been waiting on Psfreedom on G2 since then , i havent turned off my ps3 , because i couldnt get it back into dev mode .
but now theres hope...
You only need to connect it at the startup of the PS3. Once it's started you can disconnect it.

Hi man,
The Easiest way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995549
NO ADBS, nothing to be messing with your Computer, or anything. Almost everything done thru the phone.
FOLLOW THE EXACT WORDS. If you dont want to pay for ROOT EXPLORER APP, get FILE EXPERT ( make sure you select on Settings - File Explorer - ROOT EXPLORER)
the rest is pretty easy IF you do word by word
Root Explorer (or ES explorer). They will help you go through folders/files in your SD card or internal memory (like move/copy files to different folders etc.) as you do when you have your phone plugged into your computer.
they provide a link (to a video) on how to set up ADB on that same thread.
EDIT: Or you could use the thread which danccs posted. I was looking for that thread myself but couldn't find it. Lol

Hmmmm .... let's see. Maybe because I plan on resurrecting a lot of threads like this one with new links to Empire Android as it (empire android) will soon be filled with simplified but accurate guides for rooting ALL android phones. Many people have a hard time following blogs with guides to root their phone because the authors of those blogs seem to forget that they're dealing with people who aren't exactly what you would call tech savvy and as a result don't explain things correctly or in deeper detail. That's why people come to these forums asking questions that people like you would probably call dumb when in fact they are not. But i guess instead of drawing some sort of intelligent conclusion as to why I might have resurrected this thread you'd rather try and make it sound like something its not. I hope you feel better now. (And since it seems like you had nothing else to do with your time when you posted this you will have nothing to worry about in the near future as long as Android phones keep coming you will have lots of threads like this to make yourself look like a fool on) No hard feelings. I hope I've answered your question.

I think you should just stop and not root your phone just from looking at how you've asked this question twice in the same section as well as in the dev section.
Having a rooted phone doesn't make you cooler or give you special powers no matter what your friends told you, trust me.

Well seeing how I'm 15 and (and starting football and powerlifting camp today) building my own roms and a tester for TeamRoyal it can't be too hard but really to the OP you can't post multiple times, its a good way to get your question dismissed by the community. But to actually answer your question, the easiest would probably be the gfree method which is stickied in the development page.

I agree the same. At least try to keep the thing in only one post.
To root my MyTouch 4G took me over a week, of reading extensive posts here on XDA. Until i got it with the Link that i Posted on your last Discussion.
So every step, from the beginning, slowly. When you see that something is not going right, stop, and tell us Exactly what is happening
And yes, PERMROOT Wont give you special powers to show offf to your friends. Most likely if you do something wrong, say bye to that phone or have ready 100 $ to pay someone to fix it for you.
I just want root to install custom roms. I had a Samsung vibrant before and it was so easy to root.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
You people are funny with the whole root giving power thing, but I swear root gave me +100hp and eng hboot gave +100mp extra. But ya rooting is easy and you don't even need a PC. Story behind it...
I lost my HD2 (Leo1024) as it was my first dev-phone so I heavily modded it and few had personal things I never even released to public so now some prick walking around with it. When this happened dual core based phone the LG-Opt2x and Moto-Atrix (dual core) was still 4months behind and I couldn't wait for it so next best thing I got was MT4G (spec wise DHD-US model), so week before I got MT4G I did total run down from known issues with MT4G to root, ect. So I walk in to the TMoStore and the rep try to "sell" me MT4G so I told the guy save yourself some trouble I already know about the device and so we can skip all this BS and wanted to for it direct.
So I told him to open the box so I can verify it was superior display (by then we already knew about inferior SH model). So he started asking other silly questions how hard it was rooting and back then the meth was lil weird as you needed battery pull. Since I lost my phone they verified my account and gave me a new simcard free and provisioned my line on the spot. So I downloaded all the files needed from my phone for TheUnlockr meth to SDCard and rooted it in front of him using TempROOT (VISIONary+) and PermROOT (root.sh).
So what exactly is the easiest way?

Follow the TheUnlockr meth which takes 1min to root using VISIONary+ to obtain TempROOT and when you have it you can get PermROOT by running root.sh script.

You seem like the person to ask with as much knowledge as you know about phones and all the work you've created; good grief. I am stuck with Sprint and cant leave until next year without paying ETF; long story short; get terrible service and have airave (only works half the time and have 3 replacements-sprint does not want to address to issue; and me being on a SERO account probably doesn't help either) but someone in a different thread mentioned about a sprint diagnostic tool that you can use to force your phone to Roam verizon towers and get the boot rather quickly from sprint; unfortunately he said it was only for samsung devices; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774503

I didn't know if there was such a tool that could work for the evo shift that you knew of since you work with other devs and know A LOT about A LOT of stuff. I searched google a bit then headed over here of the forums, but couldnt find much in regards to it for my phone. thanks in advance

No you don't need to change your prl. Also, Several Shift ROMs like newSENSE Supreme Sense and StockMod have roam only as an option built in so you don't have to buy roam control if you don't want too.
