As the title suggests, id like to install synergy rc2 rom. Problem is my evo is already running gingerbread 2.3.3 from over the air update. What is the simplest easiest way i can root & install this rom? My 1st inclination is downgrade to froyo 2.2 first, but im unsure how to go about doing that. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. If this has been covered elsewhere please point me in the right direction cuz ive looked around quite a bit.
Thx
Look around some more.

You can't root the latest OTA update. You're going to have to wait till another exploit is found. Your stuck running sense at the moment unless you go grab yourself a Evo3D.

you are out of luck my friend, like many others and myself. We're stuck with stock GB 2.3.3 ...
All you can do is sit and wait it out until we get a full root again, it will come. Just hang in there..

You obviously didn't look very hard at all. 2 weeks ago, I counted all the threads that asked this same question, and I stopped counting at 80... So I dont know how you have missed any of these threads.
What about the possibility of downgrading, than rooting and applying a custom rom??? Can it be done that way somehow??

Nope that can't be done either. Your stuck for now buddy... It's all been tried and for now your only option is to "wait.......".

Again, this has been discussed at least 50 times in the last month. You cannot downgrade without root. And you cannot root 2.3 yet.
I recently got my DZ replaces and they send me a phone with 2.3.3. Can someone point me in the direction of a safe guide to use in order to root my phone? Problem is Im finding too many guides and Im not sure which one is relevant. can someone help me? Please and thank you

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'd love to get root on my MT4G, but I just can't seem to get it to work. I've tried the guides. Every time I get Visionary + running, I just get a black screen (aside from my notification bar) and it never goes any further. What should I do? I don't have root when this happens and I can't get it to go any further.

You can't root with the 2.3.4 upgrade. None of the methods works, not even Visionary.
To root your phone, you need to downgrade to stock 2.2.1
Now use root methods like visionary, root.sh, gfree
Wow... I think I'm looking at the right guide for this... (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832642)
That's a lot of work... Just to make sure, if you perma-root, can you upgrade back to gingerbread and still use root apps, etc?

there are a lot of roms out there that have gingerbread 2.3 for the MT4G.

Use this guide to downgrade. Yes you can upgrade using GB roms after pemroot.
Thanks, I'm midway through using it now. Though, trying to find a link to a Stock GB Rom with root permissions... there isn't one in the resource bible so I'm hoofing it through the Developement board. I know I'm asking a lot, but anyone got a link to one?

Yes, there is a rooted version of the stock 2.3.4 Rom. Just go through the link in my signature.
You can use it after you are permrooted.
... I swear I am usually a lot more observant than that, lol. Thanks a lot ^^.
Just got a new MyTouch 4G:
Android version 2.3.4
HTC Sense version 2.1
Software number 2.19.531.1
Wanted to get temp root so I followed instructions from:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/10/how-to-temporarily-root-the-t-mobile-mytouch-4g-htc-glacier
Set the USB Debugging to ON
Set the Fastboot to OFF
Installed "com.modaco.visionaryplus.r14.apk".
Temp Root After Reboot is ON
System R/W After Root is ON
Then I clicked TempRoot Now
Visionaryplus is rooting device, please wait ...
I have waited for more than 10 minutes.
Nothing happened.
What should I do?
First downgrade to the pre-OTA MT4G build, which is Android 2.2.1. Then you'll be able to use Visionary to temp-root. Sounds like you need to do a little searching/reading. This has been covered over and over.
Yeah. Also VISIONary will only work for good-chip phones (or bad, may be mixed up), but gfree works with whatever you have. To root the mytouch, YOU MUST BE ON FROYO
Hey fellows..Does anyone have a link to the PD15IMG.zip file? Its dead in the link in the tutorial to downgrade to 2.2.1 and I can't find another one. Trying to downgrade my buddies on 2.3.4 with 89.0005. Thanks

When I rooted the only visionary apk that work was version 13 http://content.modaco.net/dropzone/com.modaco.visionaryplus.r13.apk
I recently got a new a new MyTouch 4G since my other one got lost.
The new one has 2.3.4 with HTC Sense. I wanted to root my phone, but found out that I would have to downgrade and do a bunch of other stuff. Now I don't care if it is rooted or not. I would just like to have HTC sense with all the bloated software removed and just have Stock Android 2.3.4. This is also my first time here. Can anyone help? Thanks
PS: My previous mytouch 4g was rooted and was running 2.3.4. Mod version RoyalGinger 3.0
You have to "downgrade and do a bunch of other stuff".
Or leave it as is.
No third option.

The wiki link in his signature has all of the information you'll need.
the "noob" thread in my signature is also a good place to start.
They'll both lead you to the end result. Just to different ways to get there.
This post has the links to download the stock 2.3.4 rooted, and how to downgrade if you want to
