Google:
"fre3vo downgrade root mytouch 4g"
Or just read the first couple of pages on the forum. It has been mentioned already a hundred times, probably.
Not wanting to downgrade

To reroot at this point you may have to downgrade then select a gingerbread sense rom from the dev section. Some of them are pretty good. If you still don't want to, you'll probably just have to wait it out.

You won't, the update doesn't exist on Google's servers anymore. Download the 1.6 package. Google is your friend.

Post your questions in General for now on please.
Sorry, I was thinking because of my process of unrooting more people on the development area may know. Sorry...

Just do it manually. 1.6 has 2 parts, then you'll be ready for 2.2
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G using XDA App
By manually do you mean root again? I found a thread on xda for the stock mt3g 1.6 rom and when I loaded it the phone showed model number 'T-Mobile G1' which obviously won't work for the 2.2 update.

K. Rooted my sons phone to put cm6 on it. Nandroid backup of his 1.6 before I installed it.
Reflashed the 1.6 so he can get the OTA 2.2. So, now he has 1.6 but is still rooted.
Now how do I unroot it?
Sent from my Vibrant using XDA app
You shouldn't need to do anything else. The update will overwrite the custom recovery which should be the last thing left of your being "rooted".

Thanks. Just making sure. He hasn't had any notifications of any update yet.
Sent from my Vibrant using XDA app
I just thought about something, how did you root it in the first place? If you used the Androot method you will need to re-run the program selecting the unroot option, then I would suggest also doing a factory reset. Reason being is that with the Androot method you would have rooted the phone as the first step so you could use ROM manager to create the backup and to flash a new recovery.

Man. It's been so long I can't remember... I know I used terminal on my g1 and rooted his phone about the same time and I'm pretty sure I used the method on the cyanogen wiki. I will have to go look at that.
Still nothing being reported on his phone about any updates....
Sent from my Vibrant using XDA app
Okay. Checked on the cyanogen wiki and I am now positive I used the security hole in 1.5 method ny flashing a new SAPP.IMG file.
But, my question remains. The phone is still rooted and on 1.6, will it get the OTA update? I guess I could just wait until the weekend is over to see. Nothing so far....

Can anyone confirm that if u update with a official update, u will be unrooted
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
Absolutely, and you may very well end up in a situation where it will be incredibly hard to get rooted again.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
So u recommend not to update?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
I wouldn't unless you are having problems with the phone or you are going to send it back to art.

I unrooted last week just to see if I could just in case I had to return to AT&T, it wasn't easy, but finally got it to work. I then used the LINUX(built a LINUX: UBUNTU bootable CD) method of rooting again, went flawlessly; no issues at all.
I un-rooted last night booting into Fastboot USB and running the ATT stock ROM given on the HTC website... finished in 5 minutes. Had to fix something un-related, but it was a good test to see if I could un-root.
Then I just used unrevoked3 to root again; no problems.
Hi guys. I am in the process of flashing a ROM for my wife's D2. From all of my reading on here, it seems she should be on 2.3. However her system is still 2.2. Am I misinformed? I've hit the system update on her phone, but it says her phone is up to date. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

2.2 = Android verion
2.3.2 = Verizon update
I'm in the same situation, I'm on android 2.2 and system update says no update available. ..

You can be rooted and still receive an update, correct? I know you would lose root privledges, but I am trying to remember if I had to unroot or not.
I'm not able to get the update either (which is basically all I should be writing in this post), but I'm going to just attribute that to my flashing the tbh all in one back to froyo.

I think you need to be unrooted and have all stock apps.
So what's the update really I mean,i have android 2.2 and I think the gb is not released officially am I wrong?i have ee4
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
Android 2.3.3 aka Gingerbread is now available to all via OTA.
Since when, cuz a few days ago I was stock on ee4 now I'm on gumny and never saw any update msssage
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
I'm rooted, and the update downloaded by itself. Of course, the only way I'm gonna install it is when a version of cm7 GB is out that has amazing battery life.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
Which that wouldn't even work bc its not rootable.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
The CM7 has a version for the OTA GB. I've been running it since I ran the OTA.

Root using D3 method, then install the latest CM7 Nightly. I'm running it right now, overclocked to 1.3ghz. This phone is stupid fast and the battery life is killer.
is there any way to root mytouch 4g 2.3.4
would i have to downgrade to 2.2.1?
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.

If you have s=off already all you need to do is flash a recovery image, then backup/wipe/flash the ROM of your choice.

This can help if you need to root. With s off
