Ok first thing you need to tell people is what android o.s are you on?

Look at my signature. Glacier Wiki, section "Root", subsection "Gingerbread" (I assume you can't root with Visionary -> means you're on Gingerbread).
If you can't do the downgrade - then you shouldn't be rooting.

Just follow the directions and SLOW DOWN! It's easy, I've done it myself a few times.

Did you try the method Winvinay suggested 2 posts up?
I assure that if you follow the directions perfectly it'll work.

Are you using gfree or root.sh? Haven't there been a few people who tried root.sh and it wouldn't work?
I've actually tried both of them and still to no success... I'm stumped I'm about to sends it back for a new one.

Tell us what you have tried so far so we can help you figure out what else you need to try. I had tried a couple of different methods before i found one that worked. The one that i found to work for my phone was found on another site through a link i got on the ultimate s=off thread.
Thank you guys I went and got a root explorer and moved the Gfree files to data/local
Then ran it in terminal works wonderfull.

I've came across this several times and ur not alone. Go to the resource bible on the android development section in xda for the MT4G and go the term and perm root with Visionary method. It's the effective and secure way. Try going to theunlockr.com for a tutorial video.

okay the past two days i havent been able to use my mytouch 4g because it is stuck on the mytouch 4g screen
and i can enter the hboot and recovery but i get
no image on the hboot menu
and the E: Cant open cache/recovery/log
im run on clockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.4
and i tried falshing with one rom and it gave me
a error at the end
What can i do to get my mytouch 4g to work again
What rom did you try flashing before you soft bricked it?
Wipe all data again and flash another reputible rom see if that fixes it.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
i used eViL-Virturious double shot and royalginger 3.0
and okay i will
try flashing PD151IMG.zip in bootloader (power down, volume down/power button). if it gives you Fail-PU, then you are truly bricked. the eMMC chip died, there is no way as of now to revive it. ask tmobile for a replacement.

Is it android 2.3.4? Because as of now, there is no way to root it, unless you downgrade to 2.2.1.

Wow.sorry to hear bro.but if your rooting u need to check root for version ur phone is on.
Myt4g on pacquiao type roids.miui.panache.
There is another guide made to avoid another question being asked 2 times a week - "how do I root MT4G with Android 2.3.4". Read in Glacier Wiki, section "Root", subsection "Gingerbread".
is there any way to root mytouch 4g 2.3.4
would i have to downgrade to 2.2.1?
yes, downgrade to 2.2.1, root, flash the rom of your choice
you have to downgrade at the moment.If you to to the development section for our phone, then look for resource Bible. In the guide section, there's 2 threads on how to downgrade your phone to 2.2.1 . Once that is done you can either root with gfree or root.sh.
From my fist to your face, enjoy.
You can do the above mentioned.. or just wait. There are ppl working on a straight method.

If you have s=off already all you need to do is flash a recovery image, then backup/wipe/flash the ROM of your choice.

Don't worry bricking your phone is unlikely unless you do something silly and don't follow the guides correctly.

Welcome to the section. Check out the guides for rooting and installing custom roms on your phone. There isn't really a big chance of getting your phone bricked. Once you root it, you'll feel alot safer because the worst thing that can happen is a bootloop. (Which can be repaired!)

Its fairly simple when you actually do it, revolutionary does all the hard work for you. The guides just look scary as there's so much in them.

Try it with and without the phone plugged in. I think you'll probably have to have it plugged in.

okay i did all that now its stuck on the cyanogen loading screen what can i do
You've done the hard part don't worry its not broken. It should take around 5-10 minutes for first boot anyway so if its only been a minute or two and the rhythm of the boot logo is still turning smoothly and not pausing or restarting just leave it a little longer but if the logo freezes and restarts over and over this is called a bootloop. Easily fixed by rebooting into recovery again then select the wipe menu and wipe dalvik cache, cache and data then install your cm7 zip again. Everything should work then.

hmm i may have ruined it then for i just re did the installing of RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_130814
then left it at that for it worked then lol, is there anything i can do to get it actually done from there

yes i can still get to clockwork recovery by rebooting into hboot and going through recovery, ive also got the super user app in my apps
Just check in hboot that you are s-off and as you can still get recovery you're good to go, remember to wipe dalvik cache, cache and data when changing roms, if its an update you might get away with not wiping data sometimes. You'll get the hang of it soon enough. Before you flash cm7 again just run the backup in cwm then if it goes wrong again you can just restore.
