Kinda odd that you already now have S-OFF. But you're gonna have to downgrade back to 2.2.1 first. This thread will show you everything that you need to do/know.

Doesn't gingerbreak.apk work if S-Off?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

Gingerbreak won't work.
On the other hand, having S-OFF allows it to flash PD15IMG with recovery, for example. Which in turn allows everything else.

You totally didn't need to use the XTC clip! And what kind of a noob are you if you have an XTC clip? ;-)
But now that you have...
Go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200147
Use the file that just contains ClockworkMod and ENG HBoot:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Y2A16P54
Then boot into recovery and flash any ROM you want to. Or root the stock ROM using the superuser update zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828 (use the "ef" Eclair/Froyo version)

Use any of the rooting methods you see, follow the step where they downgrade to 1.5 and install the patches and recovery. At this point you stand rooted.
Do not flash a new rom and you are good to go.

If you still need help I would search XDA on a way to downgrade. Maybe a PD15IMG.zip file or something like that where you can boot into bootloader. I'm not sure, but I think searching [mytouch4g gingerbread to froyo downgrade] or something similar would help. God luck!

Is your phone S=on or S=off? What bootloader version do you have?
glacier pvt eng s-off
hboot-0.85.2007 (pd1510000)
microp-0429
radio-26.03.02.26_m
emmc-boot
You have the stock radio and eng bootloader and it looks like you're rooted. Where did you see that you have the ota? You may want to try to just flash your recovery, it may have been removed if you got something ota.

Hi, this is because you have to install su.zip from the recovery. Did you change original recovey?
You need install fastboot & adb drivers on your pc, the best tutorial you can found in wiki or google putting recovery mytouch. You need to know if our mytouch is 32A or 32B this is very important...

Help Please

I am trying to unroot my sister Mytouch 4G and I'm having a hard time getting the PD15IMG to read from bootloader. I believe the goldcard method was used to root. Not sure what all that means but this is what it reads under bootloader:
Glacier PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT 0.85.2007
MICROP-0429
RADIO -26.03.02.26_M
EMMC-BOOT
She is currently on Virtuous Sense rom 4.0 if this help
I've tested ALL of the PD15IMG from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1476745
None of them work
I really need to unroot because I'm giving it to my niece and she will not know how to keep up on custom ROMS in case something should happen.
Can someone please help me out or point me in the right direction??
Thank you for any help
I have an idea. Pick a rom. And remove root permissions from it. I'll try and do it for you, just tell me the rom. The custom recovery and the s-off will stick though if you do this.
