So I just two days ago received my MT4G and am going to root. I received this phone running GB already so I need to downgrade to froyo before rooting. Well I have attempted to follow a few guides on downgrading but have been stopped each time by the part where it says "use visionary to gain temproot" because visionary doesn't work for me on this MT4G.
I have tried using William's beta downgrade one click but not working yet.. any help?

They mean use visionary method to root regularly after downgrading. When you downgrade, you will go back to froyo being able to root with visionary again.

If i'm reading this correctly.
You would place them in the c:\adb folder
and when you open the CMD prompt you change the drive to c:\adb
So now I have to change all the commands to reflect the folder destination and I will b ok?

You just just change you directory.
for example my computer pops up
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\KOI User>
when i got into the CMD promt
so i use the cd c:\adb to change the directory
so it will look something like this
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\KOI User>cd c:\adb
c:\adb
then i can just push/pull/execute what ever i need from the c:\adb folder
alright well I plan to root and all tonight if I have questions can I pm u?

Long story but I screwed up my permaroot and cannot figure out how to continue. Is there any method to flash back to full stock if I cannot do "su" (i get an "unknown user root" error). Thanks.

Edit for length.
Thanks. Wasn't working for me, but the guys helped my use the alternate approach AND change the perms on su and that got me to a point I could start over again.

After rooting and all? What's all? Are you new to rooting? Sounds like you might have jumped in too quick.

which rooting guide did you use? did you change your kernel? you need to replace the bcm4329.ko file in /system/lib/modules with the one that corresponds to the kernel you are running...
Yes I am new to it but I am really good when it comes to computers
I am trying to learn everything about the android coding and all. Cause I just bought the mt4g Last week. But I followed instructions on a you tube video. By mackster248. Its they ove xda provided

ok... settings>about phone>Software Information> Kernel version... I need it...
Just a sort of "duh" reminder to always read things carefully before you do anything.
For example I quickly read the title of this thread as "Wife isn't working" and I thought "Tell me about it"
The kernel version is 2.6.32

ok.... DOWNLOAD THIS then put it in the directory with adb. In command prompt navigate to the directory with adb then put these commands in
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
exit
abd push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/
adb reboot
your wifi should be fine after this.
Ok, do I need the terminal emulator? To type these commands

no you need adb... google android sdk download install
if you can't figure that out copy the file to your sdcard then in terminal do this
unplug phone
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
cp /sdcard/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/
this should fix it... might take a reboot
Which version do I need? 2.2 or 2.3
great now my SU permissions are denied....

you probably didn't root properly and only had temp root then
That makes sense. How do I get rid of clock work mod. I'm just gonna go back to stock. This rooting is
A pain in the ass.

It's really not that bad. You just need to slow down, take a breath and follow the instructions and everything will right itself.
Some people always think that there is a one-click solution; when in fact you just need to follow a few precise directions. Key word being 'precise'.
If you want to unroot and go back to stock, check my sig for unrooting.

so ive tried a few different things including a factory reset witch still has yet to take hold
Are you using gfree or root.sh? Haven't there been a few people who tried root.sh and it wouldn't work?
I've actually tried both of them and still to no success... I'm stumped I'm about to sends it back for a new one.

Tell us what you have tried so far so we can help you figure out what else you need to try. I had tried a couple of different methods before i found one that worked. The one that i found to work for my phone was found on another site through a link i got on the ultimate s=off thread.
Thank you guys I went and got a root explorer and moved the Gfree files to data/local
Then ran it in terminal works wonderfull.

EVERY linux based download has a MD5SUM. Which verifies the download isn't corrupt.
What you need to do is download the ROM to the SDcard's root directory. Then from either the ADB command prompt or Terminal Emulator type
Code:
# md5sum /mnt/sdcard/<rom_name>.zip
that will kick out a code and then verify that against the source you downloaded it from.

okay i have the free version of rom manager , and i know that they released touch recovery for mytouch 4G , my issue is that since i dont have premium rom manager , im gonna have to manually do it through fastboot or hboot (dont remember which) , my problem is that i have a damaged usb that doesnt mount or do anything other than charge . so how can i get the touch recovery ?
Use the links that have been posted to download it to your SD card. Use terminal emulator from the market to enter the commands to flash it. Leave out "adb shell" from the commands as that is telling the PC to use adb to execute.
