Just got a used myTouch 4G for my daughter. I am currently with Wind Mobile in Canada, so obviously this phone is unlocked.
I noticed that it is still on Froyo, and I don't see any obvious way to factory upgrade to the latest version of Gingerbread.
How would I go about upgrading to the latest version? For now, I'd rather not root/flash custom ROMs for this phone.
Some feedbacks are much appreciated.

Download the newest mytouch gingerbread unrooted rom, rename it pd15img.zip and boot into hboot and let it work it's magic.

Hey guys, I flashed my Mom's phone with CM 6.0 a few weeks ago and it's been nothing but trouble for her. She has insurance and is planning to get a replacement phone, and I'm worried that she might get in trouble with Tmo for having a custom ROM.
So my question is, do I need to to an SPL or is there an update zip I can flash with Clockwork Mod to go back to the stock rom?
Thanks for my noobish question, I don't own this specific device so it's a bit confusing. Much easier to take care of on my Hero.
Your mom let you flash her phone? My mom wont let me go anywhere near her Motorola Cliq.
Anyway, go to theunlockr.com, and theres a guides there in how to UNroot, then Tmobile can send you a replacement (for whatever reason)...and yes, custom ROMs void your warranty, but when you unroot, its as if you never rooted. PERFECT stock.
BUT: you have to use the correct guide, is the phone a US T-Mobile Mytouch or a European HTC Magic? Or a Mytouch with the headphone jack?
Posted with my stock T-Mobile 2.2.1 myTouch with 3.5mm jack
Try a diffrent rom first, like the latest aosp 2.2.1 OTA for mytouch, cm6 has always been trouble, memory leaks up the wazoo. Anywho, in my opinion aosp froyo 2.2 one of the best roms I have ever had on my mytouch 3g fast as hell
You just need to hboot the sappimg.nbh

Hi!
A friend of mine has this device and he wants to have Froyo installed, I believe he still has the factory installed version it came with the phone (I think is version 1.6 or 1.8).
I have a Samsung Captivate and upgraded very easily to Froyo using Odin and the Cognition ROM.
Can anyone point me to a thread that has an easy (beginner to intermediate) way to upgrade the MyTouch 3G to Froyo?
Thanks!
If it is an original MyTouch(without the 3.5mm jack) then the easiest way would be to wait for the OTA update from T-mobile. If your friend doesn't want to wait then check out this thread: Manually update MyTouch to stock Froyo
What about updating an unlocked MT 3G? Will updating to Froyo relock the phone?
Yes, is a original (untouched) myTouch 3G....
I read that it will come OTA, but he haven't seen anything yet on his phone.
Thanks

does it have a 3.5mm jack or not?
My mt4g is rooted by the latest method true S=off and radio is unlocked. ROM is the original t-mo flavor.
Two questions:
1. If an update comes from t-mo does the phone need to be unrooted back to oem?
2. I'm selling the phone so with it rooted can I perform a factory reset and the phone will remain rooted and function properly? Will any other issues arise? Remember rom is stock never been flashed.
Thanks!

wiping it wont undo root so you're good
When tmobile pushes the rom to you it will unroot it when it upgrades. Then you just re-root it after the upgrade. Just did the same for my mt3g
^not necessarily, when the nexus received an update it killed their root and also kept the one click fixes from giving them root anymore. So lets not speak for the future. ^_^ . But you should be good if you sell, once its out of your hands, its not your problem no more.

Was curious about this myself. Now that the CM nightlies are starting to appear I'm getting closer to actually rooting my phone.
Hi, I already used a lot of ways to get root on my HTC Aria but nothing.
When I try with unrevoked I take the following message: "Error: Failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?" in the final of the process, I already tested on Windows and Linux and I don't know what I can do more.
HTC Aria AT&T - Android 2.2.2
Someone have an ideia?
cant root official 2.2.2
There's no known way to root the Aria once it has the 2.2.2 update installed. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about this.
Did you phone come with 2.2.2 out of the box? Did you update it? Did the store update it for you?
I updated to 2.2.2 using the HTC Aria Update.
My wife has a HTC Aria with 2.1. Do you know if I can get root with this version?

Yes sir. You can. Are you going to load a Rom? If you like HTC Sense, use FR008

Yes, Unrevoked will work on the Aria with 2.1 on it. That's the best way to root the Aria.
If it's important to you to be able to root both phones, you might consider taking it back to the store and seeing if they will exchange it for one without the update installed.
Can I make the downgrade to 2.1?

Nope, that phone is now unrootable, period. (Well, actually it's possible if you sent it to someone who has special hardware, but not something you could do on your own.)
Do you know if the next version of unrevoked will support 2.2.2?
No.but attn1 has a found a hardware solution to root and s-off the updated firmware.look at the 2.2 rooting thread.

Hello, I've had a MyTouch 4g for t-mobile for some time now but recently switched to a newer phone. But, when i had the phone it was rooted. So i used a PD15IMG.zip with which it was 2.2.1(I believe, i know it was previous one to gingerbread), to unroot the phone. But i still enjoy using my Mytouch 4g, most of the apps i enjoy using require 2.3.1 Gingerbread. So, i did a little a research and found out the mytouch 4g can get gingerbread. So, im curious to know if theres anyway to repeat the same thing, i did to unroot the phone to get gingerbread. Which is to download the PD15IMG.zip for gingerbread and install into the phone. (Without, having to root it again). Also, is there anyone who can post the link knows where i can get the download link to gingerbread(PD15IMG.zip) for a mytouch 4g. I Live in U.S and MyTouch is for T-Mobile (Dunno if it Matters)
