you will need to downgrade to 2.2 first. there is a guide in the development forum which will help you do that and then you can root using visionary or anything like that.
Got it done finally! Thanks
Once rooted can you upgrade to 2.3 and all will be fine or do you have to stay with 2.2?

If you flash any official update, you will lose root.
There are pre-rooted versions of the Gingerbread update in the Development section. That is what you want to flash.

I just recently rooted and flashed my first ROM, and neidlinger's guide helped my tremendously
MyTouch 4G. CyanogenMod 7.0.3
When will the mytouch 4g 2.3.4 be rooted?! I read on October 1 that it'll be rooted "in the coming weeks"...its nearly November. Anyone have any updates at all? Or will 2.3.4 never be rooted? Thank you for all of your help!
likely never

it will come out when the developers release it.
it'll be rooted when you downgrade to 2.2.1 :X
j/k or whenever, dunno how much progress/work people have been making on developing it
downgrade
I have tried that available link to downgrade but all in vain. i successfully got temp root but not able to perem root. so when i put downgraded stock rom, recieving message newer version is there and visionary is not helpful in my case.
Any idea how to do that .
The only reason i want to root is my camera . i dont know what happened to it. but whenever i try to use my camera it ended up in blank screen.
I am not good in that but thinking to change the rom maybe it resolve my problem
Any help / guidance thanks in advance.

What do you mean newer version? Are you following the downgrade guide that requires adb to push, execute some files, and flash all by adb. When you downgrade, you don't simply flash the pd15img.zip you should follow the guide.

Look in my signature, see a link to Wiki. Open it, go to section "Root", subsection "Gingerbread 2.3.4". There will be a guide which needs to be executed IN FULL.
Try and read this with caution NOT ME OR THE PERSON WHO MADE THIS IS REPONSIBLE... it has a one click downgrade and a one click root.. after all that is down, there's a root version of gingerbread available... one step at a time...

I recently had to get a replacement phone and want to root it like I had my first MT4G. I know I have to downgrade to 2.2.1 as I now have 2.3.4 with the new phone. I have searched and searched and can't find instructions on how to accomplish this. Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks,
Nick

Double post and u need help with?

OK, It seems indroider has trouble flashing the correct ROM and thinks he needs access to the development forum to ask his questions, which he doesn't. I also have seen a fair couple of helpful posts to guide him in the right direction, so this one can be locked.
Hi guys, I've read other threads about this and I'm getting nowhere tbh, The phone is rooted and is on Android 2.1, I read that I might need to upgrade to 2.2 for 2ndinit to work but I've no idea how to do this as the phone says it already has the latest software?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Anybody?

2.1 is NOT the latest update. For 525 is Froyo 2.2.1 and for 526 is Gingerbread 2.3.7?
Anyway you can flash a Froyo from the forum, root it with framaroot and .....
Can someone please post a link for the sbf I need to flash, I've tried to download it but it just goes to ilivid or page not found
