Dude, he was asking for HELP, not to be made fun of...
no, back to the question at hand. to root the mytouch 4g, you would need to follow one of the guides to rooting found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866175
that link also has links to all the other things you will need, but Ill provide them here as well for time's sake.
once you do that and have s-off, you will need to flash an alternate recovery to flash a rom. Normally, you would need to install rom manager to do this, then flash clockwork recovery through there, but to install gingerbread, it requires a special version of the recovery which is not officially supported by rom manager yet, so you will need to either install through fastboot (follow the steps provided here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852905 )
or else follow the instructions provided by TruBlue found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10670110#post10670110
once you have the right recovery installed, youll need to wipe data and caches, and then flash the gingerbread rom of your choice.
As for what apps you will need for all this: ROM Manager, as I mentioned (the premium version if you'd like to take advantage of CM built in nightly build update notifications). Titanium Backup (for backing up all your apps so you dont have to manually redownload them all, and have your app data intact on the new rom), and Root explorer (optional) for a root-enabled file manager.
Any further questions, feel free to send me a PM. Thanks to Tiger013 for compiling the list of everything, grankin for his Root how-to's, and TrueBlueDrew for his how to on install CWM 3x.

dude, after it took me a month(ish) to figure out how to root my own phone (with generous help from mftek), I wouldnt call anyone a noob. do you have google talk? I can try to walk you through the rooting process, and thats generally faster than posting. My username there is the same one I use here.

Yea I do and thanks would be great to get help. Mines the same as my username as well

Do not run via SD.
Install NAND.
If you want WM, then install it back...
The risk is that you'll brick your phone...
Read the post for the Android version you would install. Everything is explained in the posts.
If you have any questions use the "Search" button here in the forum, or Google it..
If you have any questions you must search the forum at least 8 times, and google your question at least 6 times.
These are the unwritten rules....
Good luck

Which is a good rom for the nook

Hello xda , im currently running cm7 i know really old built. I purchased this nook a year back but its just been sitting in my drawer and dont pay much attention to it. I want to install a different rom but i dont know which one its the most stable one for you guys. Please help with this. Thank you.

I have tried them all and keep coming back to the MiRaGe rom in the development section. It just can't be beat! Try it and see if it's what you are looking for.

Or just try some ICS rom for the latest look and features. But don't expect the speed and the full hardware acceleration that the mature CM7 can provide.
Produced by NookColor at CM9 4.0.4

So since i didn't install cm7 on this nook i just have to download this into the sd card that has clockworkmod, wipe and flash right?
Thank you for your help.

Yes, this is the one. Be sure to wipe data, system and cache before installing rom.
This thread has some great instructions and settings to use with the rom.

Recovery installation. Help!

Hello,
Is there any other option to flash recovery, beside the magldr method, like adb push or some app? I can't get my computer to work with the recovery installer for magldr, and for some reason I don't have a recovery in the phone although I have a custom Rom flashed on it. I have to add that all of that was done before I bought it and I don't really know much about flashing things on HD2 because it is different from other natively android devices. Please help

AFAIK 4EXTRecovery/ TWRP & other recoveries work the same way, give a the link below a try there are links to those recoveries & also how to use NativeSD.

Thanks, I'll give it a try

Yep, try what mengfei said, or alternatively you can flash cLK 1.5 which comes with CWM built in.
