I have both...Rooted mine..
Must have adb installed
Type these commands with usb debugging enabled
c:\adb> adb shell
$ echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
$ exit
Then run SuperOneClick 2.2 and it should root properly.

dmunseyautotech you are awesome.Many thanks.Been trying to root it since purchased and nobody could.I searched all over the web.Once again many thanks.Now if we could some devs. to make it better.

Personally I think it is a pretty good phone. Smooth, fast, nice screen. Maybe it will get some love. It's a lot better than some of the phone I see with lots of support- Optimus T for starters much weaker than this one.

Bad Move T-Mo!
Apparently, they discontinued the regular MT4G and are only offering the slide version from now on . They also said that from now on all their mytouch phones are going to be LG most likely. Most likely they won' even have any decent HTC phones in the future. WHY??? Cheaper for them, stinks for us.

[Q] Overclock The T-Mobile MyTouch 4G!

Can someone who has the time, please recompile 'vision_oc.ko' from source so that it can work with the 'kernels' that are installed on the MyTouch 4G?
Kernel: [email protected] #1
Kernel: [email protected]#1
Source: http://github.com/coolbho3k/vision_oc
Original G2 Overclock Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=813681
Thanks in advance!
p.s.
Can someone also pull their /proc/kallsyms file, and post the values for the acpi frequency table address, and perflock notifier call, and specify which kernel they have:
acpu_freq_tbl
perflock_notifier_call
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I went ahead and pulled my kallsyms.
For kernel [email protected] #1,
I have these values:

ill look into this if i have time tomorrow
Its the same hardware as Desire HD in its guts, same processor, same emmc, same amount of ram: This should work without too much modification.
... except I can't post links, even to another thread. Sigh. Desire HD Dev Forum, similar heading, post 23 links to a youtube walk through...
Will try now thanks. Hope this works!
EDIT: Nope it dosent seem to work.
We're going to need kernel source before we can overclock. HTC hasn't released the source for the MT4G yet though.
Please keep us posted on this! Thanks!
im excited on what kind of speed this device will put out after the Devs finish an OC kernel for it...

Same here! So will we need to do a permanent root for this?
most likely because the scripts wont stick if you use visionary... it would be just like the G2 and u would have to flash the OC script everytime you boot the device lol that got old fast... its soothing to have a permaroot again...
So what do you need to do if you already have perm root?
So kernel just released lets see some overclock!

[Q] The elusive MT4G doubleshot rom

I have downloaded the following rom: PG59IMG_Doubleshot_TMOUS_1.28.531.8_Radio_10.48.9007.00U_10.12.9007.07_M2_release_201296_signed.zip
which I believe is the official TMOUS rom for the doubleshot. will it work on the MT4G? I am hesitant to install it as I don't want to screw my phone up to the point where I brick it, can anyone provide some guidance as to if you have tried it, if so, what were the results, thanks in advance.
Under no circumstances should you flash it on to your phone. It has an hboot, radio, and rom that are all incompatible with our hardware. Flashing an incorrect hboot or radio makes your phone a brick. If you want to run the doubleshot rom, search google for raftvittos doubleshot port.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Im no dev...but probably not 1) you might brick your device 2) Im pretty sure if it boots youll lose root....just wait for a ďev to cook it up IMHO.
Don't flash it. For the love of god, do not flash it. Unless of course you want a $600 paperweight.

[Q] Will t-mobile mytouch 4g get 2.3.5 and sense 3.0?

Hi Folks,
I just came to know that Desire S got sense 3.O and OS 2.3.5 congrats to all proud owners.. Will T-mobile mytouch 4g get the same? if so when? I need a official update do not want to root..
Your responses will be much appreciated
XDA Rocks!!!

well the MT4G already has an official 2.3 gingerbread update, but I doubt we'll be seeing sense 3.0 as an official UI. t-mobile uses a modified version called MySense on the mytouch, so at the very most we might be able to get an official update to look like the doubleshot (MyTouch 4G Slide), but I doubt it
whats wrong with rooting?? unless you have the bad chip
Thanks for that.. as you said we might not get 3.0 at lease one more ginger bread update to give us Gtalk video chat? is that on cards?
yes, you can go to a local t-mobile store and they can hook you up there or you can download the update from the development section and flash it in fastboot. Ill try to find the link...
*edit* heres the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264704

In all honesty, I think that's it for our phones for official updates. The GB 2.3.4 is most likely the last one. This phone is about to hit it's end of life cycle, especially with the new line of myTouch's coming out in a month or so.
And even if we did get an update, which I know we won't, Sense 3.0 is highly unlikely. That firmware is only coming out to dual core phones at the very least. So I think your best bet would be to root and then subsequently install Sense 3.0 via Virtual Unity.

cause sense rocks.
and technically speaking, HTC GLACIER already has sense 3.0
http://www.virtuousrom.com/
THanks for that.. so will T-mobile at least give us a 2.3.5 update with Gtalk video chat? can some one confirm this with T-mobile?
Dang I want sense 3.0 too but I have gb an the downgrade method seems to risky
Ginger 2.3.4 S=Off No Root
So I did the steps for the update and when I restart the phone I see that it found it and its checking it but after that way do I do...I pick the factory reset I think that's what its called..but after that everything is the same...so I need help I don't know if I'm doing it right or leaving a step out
The mytouch already has OS 2.3.5 and sense 3.5 but that's only if your rooted.

it also has 2.3.7 if you flash the latest nightlies of cm7 (no sense 3.5 though, that's another rom :X)

I have the unity v9 kernel and it works great! Another great kernel is the demonspeed one by tdj. Runs real nice on my dad's MT4G running Virtuous Unity.

If you want your phone looking like the MT4GS, you should check out the Virtuous Doubleshot rom.

Virtuous ROM ( help with recovery ver: )

I recently bought a glacier device with royalginger on it... it is fast,stable.... and all that.... but I don't like it... I like sense... So I am planning to flash "Virtuous Unity" in to it... but the official web site says "Clockwork Recovery v3.x.x is required." I have clockwork 5.x.x in my device..... if I proceed what would happen...?
It will flash. Everything will be fine, have no fear . I personally use 4EXT Touch.

I think 4ext is better than CWM. Also if I were OP I would consider Virtuous Affinity, it has Sense 3.5 and I actually have 2 mt4g, 1 has unity, and the other has affinity. No huge difference though, they both are stable. I just like 3.5 better than 3.0 sense...

It just means that you need at least 3.x.x to flash. Newer version is fine.

Stick with unity 3.0 if you want stability and great battery. 3.5 still has quirks that were never worked out.

If you do try Sense 3.5, I recommend looking through the threads for TDJ's ROM. Extremely stable. The only bug I could remember that was never resolved was the stock FFC being sideways, but that could be fixed by flashing the Doubleshot camera. I'm an AOSP guy but I always felt Sense 3.5 was much cleaner and better looking than 3.0.
