Ok I just got a new mytouch 4g from a friend rooted and all but I'm doing a warranty exchange and can't unroot cause I didn't know the method used but I spoke to the kid and he said he used visionary so doesn't that mean that visionary should unroot? I'm just trying to go back to stock

Someone rooted for you? :O well makes no diff and if you saying that the person said you used the Visionary meth to obtain PermROOT then what you need to do is download PD15IMG.zip from Dev section and put it in root of your SDCard and go in bootloader as it will scan the file and follow the instruction from there as it will revert back to default stock rom, radio and give you S-ON.
We traded my g2 for the mytouch we gave each other the phones rooted but this one has the bad screen so Im gonna switch and It won't let me download directly on to phone from the phone so o have to do it from a computer?

Well where the file was uploaded to is very bad site as it drops connection and has this annoying verification systems. I would recommend you download it in your PC and then rename it from "PD15IMG_Glacier_TMOUS_1.17.531.2_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155771_signed.zip" to "PD15IMG.zip" (make sure its not PD15IMG.zip.zip) and put it in root of your SDCard.
File: PD15IMG_Glacier_TMOUS_1.17.531.2_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155771_signed.zip
MD5: 49D07F0EE7DE1765A6A84CB12FA53110
Size: 312 MB
Now I provide you with the md5 hash which you can use to verify if the file you downloaded is correct and not corrupted.
I did it thanks it worked unrooted and all finally got stock tho I rerooted 5 mins later but least now I can unroot wot.no prob when I get the phone Lol ty for all your help .

Hey,
I have a Wildfire 2.2 with 0.80.0002 HBOOT. Can i root it?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Update. I installed the drivers. Tried rooting with 3.14 and the new one. But they fail. The new one says " root failed. maybe your firmware is too new?" and 3.14 just says " root failed".
What could be wrong?
Maybe its because im on froyo? but my hboot is 0.80.0002 so i should get a root. Any suggestions? Maybe i should downgrade to 2.1. I would have an old firmware with an old hboot

Try the OLD....and install Unrevoked Usb driver
Dayum. I cant install adb drivers. windows 7 ultimate x64. ive downloaded some vista drivers then it works. maybe i cant root because of vista drivers?
btw. when i install vista drivers and plug-in my widlfire it says MY HTC in the device manager.
Dude... I'm also using an x64 win7... firstly...use winrar to unpack the reflash package... extract it to someplace u can remember... jus install the drivers according to the instructions given in the 'hboot.html' file in the reflash folder.. its pretty easy... I always used to root my phone using this computer only ... never had a single problem... alternatively u could install HTC sync...( it will install the drivers ) and then remove it (only the application.. not the drivers).. and then try to root...
Hope I helped...

Downgrading is certainly worth a try
I managed to root it via super one click. But now when i try to flash a recovery it says Device "" Is not supported.
Since you have rooted it, follow steps 2 to last from here:

BTW, Are you sure yours is a standard GSM Wildfire and not any of its derivatives like Bee, G8 etc?

Are you sure your phone is a GSM HTC Wildfire and not another Phone like HTC Bee, HTC G8 etc? They are 'rebadged' Wildfires for specific markets / countries.
Noo.I've bought it from one of the biggest sales company in Lithuania . I've rooted it BEFORE(and cuz im stupid i did an update ). But now when i type su in adb my phone SHOULD pop a windows with SU asking for something. But it doesnt :< maybe i didnt root it..

Then how is your HBOOT still at 0.80? Please confirm the same. As far as I am aware, nowhere on the earth (Except the old Chinese release), did the official Froyo release not update the HBOOT to 1.0x
Also, in such cases, apps like Super one click root can only give temporary / shell root, which is pointless really, as it does not help achieve perm root.
What all do you exactly see on your HBOOT Screen? (Power down your phone. Press Power + Vol Down simultaneously, and let me know what it shows)
Yup i have 2.2.1 software & my hboot is 0.80.0002. So how should i root then?

Its amazing how you have the old HBOOT after getting official 2.2.1
Anyway, if the method I posted doesnt work, cant help you anymore. Sorry. Only one more idea I get is to use an old version of Unrevoked, which you state you have already tried.
Pic
Heres the pic :3 taken with my moms desire
You should try downgrading, or manually pushing the recovery (follow link that 3xeno posted above). Rooting really shouldn't be this hard, lol. No version of Unrevoked will work with 2.2 AFAIK for root, as I've heard people flash a 2.1 RUU and then root. That's another option - flash a 2.1 RUU (NOT 2.2) and then unrevoked. its 99% guaranteed to work the first time, and i guess 99.999% guaranteed to work within 3 tries. (0.001 % just in case, lol )
edit: running a 2.1 RUU is probably the easiest way... you should try it.
Ok. I pushed recovery in the hboot menu. thing is . i have clockworkd mod iLol'ed.I forgot Okay so ill try to flash now... Wait for it... wait for it... well install is complete.
I remember now. When i tried to root it a month ago it installed the recovery but it did not root my phone. Now when its rooted(i think) it works!!! LOL
OK i just got this phone today and want to get miui demonspeed on it. I know i have to root and all that but not sure whats guides to read exactly. I have a vibrant thats rooted and with miui as well but not to sure on the mytouc. What exactly do i ahve to do to get my mytouc right out of the box to miui. Thank you.
well if you know you have to root i guess your on the right track. Id say check out the post on the good emmc vs the bad one (in the general section) and determine which you have first. If its the bad one then you'll prolly not want to root at all.
If its the good one then you'll need to
1.perm root
2.flash clockwork
3.backup everything
4.wipe
5.flash Miui
6.Sit back and enjoy

This is a false statement, as there has already been a case of completely stock M4G2DE chip failing with no root whatsoever - which means, whether you root it by root.sh or by gfree, it'll still be prone to failure.
The root guides are in Development section.

when i got my phone (MT4G) is was on 2.3.4
recently ..i've downgraded to 2.2.1, rooted and installed CM7
after about an hour i decided to go back to stock so using a stock froyo PD15IMG.zip (via power+volume-down) i restored my phone back to froyo 2.2.1 (unrooted)
unlike in the 2.3.4 version... there is no software update button
can someone help me figure out how to update from 2.2.1 to 2.3.4 (or higher)
i only rooted for learning purposes (i'm experienced in hacking other things...this is my 1st android) but now that im unrooted, i want to go back to the way my phone was when i got it (2.3.4 unrooted)
any help will be great

0.o ...how might i have done this w/o rooting? (for learning purposes)
i might root again for more EXP w/ it, but not now... i dont like losing my apps and personal settings lol
In exactly the same way as you did.
Rooting doesn't affect bootloader whatsoever, unless you flash the engineering one. And any of them will accept the stock PD15IMG.ZIP.
Update that seems to have killed the phone??
I am unfamiliar with the HTC root process and most of it's devices, but I have a friend that got her phone updated and it is now freezing, not sending or receiving messages, and rebooting randomly. She got it done at a store as her phone is no longer under contract and she is using it pre pay. Any help in getting her phone updated properly would be very much appreciated.
I'm used to Samsung, so I know that the root process may take a bit for me to get used to. Thanks in advance for any help. It is very much appreciated.

Place file named PD15IMG.ZIP on root of sd card. Make sure it is named exactly that, including all caps. Reboot into bootloader. It will detect the file and ask if you want to update. Click yes and cross your fingers. Should work fine, but there is always a risk when flashing anything. Good luck.

After doing that, how do you get back to 2.3.4 without losing root privileges?
You install custom recovery and flash a pre-rooted 2.3.4 ROM.
There's always an option to remove HBOOT from the 2.3.4 PD15IMG.ZIP and flash it through HBOOT, and then install a custom recovery and flash su.zip in it. But it's a bit more complicated.

download a custom gingerbread rom
here is one that's pretty popular;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504718
If you are S-Off
Grab Froyo 2.2.1 zip from this forum. Make sure it is called PD15IMG.zip and place it on the root of your sdcard
Shut phone off & boot into HBoot (vol down + pwr button)
Have it load the PD15IMG.zip file and once its done your phone will be back to running Froyo.
Now grab Visionary+ & root.rar (from this forum) & a terminal emulator & a file explorer.
Put visonary+.apk on your sdcard and run it via file explorer for temp root
Extract root.sh to /sdcard/root
now load up terminal emulator and type:
su
cd /sdcard/root
sh root.sh
Let it run (takes a minute sometimes)
Once that is done go back to Visionary+ and "Perm root" reboot and you should have perm root.
Now just Clockword Rom manager and you can flash whatever ICS rom you want. (running CM9-unofficial personally)
I wish i could remove a thanks.
This will only work if the phone has a good eMMC chipset. If they have a bad one. it will not work.

Not completely true. I've already rooted a few mt4g with bad chips. 2 being my girls and my brothers mt4g.

The "bad" chip only roots with gfree. I tried root.sh. It just looked at me ans scoffed.

Never used gfree since I don't own a PC. All bad chip mt4g I've rooted have been rooted within the device with visionary and root.sh method from the unlockr.
I have only ever followed the guide on XDA for ultimate S=OFF rooting guide using visionary, seems to work the best.

I used gfree without a PC. Terminal emulator ftw.

trying to root via gfee and can't get visionary to work, it just says "rooting" forever. I'm on stock Froyo... any idea?

Gave up on root.sh? Lol. Make sure usb debugging is enabled and reboot between attempts.
Ya figured gfree was better plus Sim unlock. I did both of those. Still same thing

Are you trying to perm or temp root?
