[Q] Mytouch 4g is stuck on the mytouch 4g screen - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

okay the past two days i havent been able to use my mytouch 4g because it is stuck on the mytouch 4g screen
and i can enter the hboot and recovery but i get
no image on the hboot menu
and the E: Cant open cache/recovery/log
im run on clockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.4
and i tried falshing with one rom and it gave me
a error at the end
What can i do to get my mytouch 4g to work again

What rom did you try flashing before you soft bricked it?
Wipe all data again and flash another reputible rom see if that fixes it.

i used eViL-Virturious double shot and royalginger 3.0
and okay i will

try flashing PD151IMG.zip in bootloader (power down, volume down/power button). if it gives you Fail-PU, then you are truly bricked. the eMMC chip died, there is no way as of now to revive it. ask tmobile for a replacement.

Is it android 2.3.4? Because as of now, there is no way to root it, unless you downgrade to 2.2.1.

[Q] rooting mytouch4g 2.3.4 gingerbread

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.

Look at my signature. Glacier Wiki, section "Root", subsection "Gingerbread" (I assume you can't root with Visionary -> means you're on Gingerbread).
If you can't do the downgrade - then you shouldn't be rooting.

Don't worry bricking your phone is unlikely unless you do something silly and don't follow the guides correctly.
This is the best place to start, you'll find everything you need in this one thread.

Welcome to the section. Check out the guides for rooting and installing custom roms on your phone. There isn't really a big chance of getting your phone bricked. Once you root it, you'll feel alot safer because the worst thing that can happen is a bootloop. (Which can be repaired!)

Its fairly simple when you actually do it, revolutionary does all the hard work for you. The guides just look scary as there's so much in them.

Try it with and without the phone plugged in. I think you'll probably have to have it plugged in.

okay i did all that now its stuck on the cyanogen loading screen what can i do
You've done the hard part don't worry its not broken. It should take around 5-10 minutes for first boot anyway so if its only been a minute or two and the rhythm of the boot logo is still turning smoothly and not pausing or restarting just leave it a little longer but if the logo freezes and restarts over and over this is called a bootloop. Easily fixed by rebooting into recovery again then select the wipe menu and wipe dalvik cache, cache and data then install your cm7 zip again. Everything should work then.

hmm i may have ruined it then for i just re did the installing of RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_130814
then left it at that for it worked then lol, is there anything i can do to get it actually done from there

yes i can still get to clockwork recovery by rebooting into hboot and going through recovery, ive also got the super user app in my apps
Just check in hboot that you are s-off and as you can still get recovery you're good to go, remember to wipe dalvik cache, cache and data when changing roms, if its an update you might get away with not wiping data sometimes. You'll get the hang of it soon enough. Before you flash cm7 again just run the backup in cwm then if it goes wrong again you can just restore.

[Q] Lost Root.. can't regain... HELP

Ok, so my wife's phone has to go back to TMOBILE by Friday Sept 21st, I have Virtuous Affinity on it and I Unrooted with VISIONary not thinking that i should have flashed something stock first. I now cannot regain root for some reason using VISIONary or even flashing a PD15IMG through bootloader,,, I'm not comfortable at all with ADB, please help if there is another way. Anyone?

Is your phone still s-off?

Visionary only roots the ROM. If you're still S-Off you have the ability to write to the partitions through adb or recovery.

I downloaded multiple versions including the 2.2.1, 2.3.4, and 2.34 (new) version... all those did similiar things, still not getting me back to stock. Does it make a difference that I have a custom rom with 2.3.5 on it?
Any other thoughts?

Why would it make a difference? Also, if it did, I would have asked you about it.
The only reason a good download will not install, usually, is if either you're on an unlocked bootloader from htc-dev, or something is wrong with either your bootloader or phone.
