Would you like to downgrade my Mytouch 4G with android 2.3.4 back to 2.2???
I desperately want this thing rooted but know nothing of the process of downgrading. And even after reading about it briefly, I think I'll let someone who knows this stuff better do the work...
I can mail it anywhere in the US and even paypal you to do it...
Wrong section, and if you can't do it on your own you probably shouldn't have it to begin with... just my two cents

Look on craigslist for a rooting service. I live in austin, so if I can't do a phone I take it to android monsters.

Pretty much sums it up. Why would you want to send your AMAZING mytouch to a stranger?
Follow directions. You'll be fine.
you know, if you're so scared too even just root your device, then you'll have MANY more problems later on. cause guess what? after rooting your device doesn't mean everything is safe and easy. it's EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE. rooting your device means giving yourself admin rights to do anything you want to your device, and if you so scared you can't even go through the process of giving yourself those rights, then you shouldn't even be thinking about rooting.
just a thought.
also, do you really trust a stranger to screw around with your phone like that? they won't pay the fee if they break it, YOU are the one that's going to pay.
and of course.... PLEASE POST IN THE CORRECT FORUMS
to be honest... the mytouch 4g is a PAIN in the asss to root.... i mean... gfree method is the best... but downgrading it was a *****.... i did it after a whole day of reading and watching youtube and trying n trying n trying... i mean im an expert now on this device... and i think its one of the BEST phones in the android dev world... considering the amount of development on it... rooting it and using a new kernal rom combo... makes this phone a different device entirely... i might have a SGSII (T989) but this little mytouch kicks ass... n e way, i dont mind helping u out... just learn how to flash roms n kernals ur self... PM me if u want my help
Downgrading is easy: all u need is the PD15IMG.zip. But that's downgrading back to stock. This fone is the best since I've been rooting, back since the G1 days. There is a section for that zip, look into the Rom bible.

100%
you need 2.2 in zip format so you'll rename it into PD15IMG.zip, but it in the root of your SD card, enter boot-loader & it automatically will do the rest..

if you follow the instructions on the cyanogenmod wiki about htc glacier you can do it. Just make sure to check the MD5 after the download to avoid any issues and bricking problems. I have downgraded and rooted 2 glaciers with that method. Again if you can not trust yourself to do that much on your own I agree with the others you should not be rooting in the first place.
Its really not that hard, there are plenty of instructions on how to do it in these forums. I never did it before, and it took me 20 mins to downgrade and then root. and this was reading the instructions as I went.
Check your chip type first, make sure you have the good one and then just read the forums. You can do it, and if you cant, maybe you shouldnt have it.

Well it is now official that gingerbread has been leak/released for our G2 and I'm sure lot of us who had soft bricks are happy to know we can unbrick it and now to our next problem rooting it
I have tried 2 ways so far first is the wiki way with psneutur and gfree, and other is temp root with visionary
My results for both came negative,
Gfree/ psneutur gave me permission denied after I pushed it in
Visionary jus gave me black screen
And gingerbreak requirs s-off
So let's gather info and or figure out a way to root new gingerbread if any tried downgrade method let all us know with steps what you did
Here is the info for new gingerbread
Ship s-on
Hboot 0.82.0008
Radio 26.08.04.30M3
eMMC-boot
Apr 13 2011,
So hope we can find solution to root and we can get custom roms back on it
you need to try to gain temproot with gingerbreak. can you please come over #g2root ?
I just said I tempted and it just stuck on trying to root nothing happen and I will go what irc server? Freenode?

Visionary (as evidence by the sticky at the top of the dev phone saying DONT USE VISIONARY TO PERM ROOT) has bricked many a phones that have only now been able to be fixed. I think its just a trust issue and comes to down to each individual and what they personally think and believe I personally would never use visionary again no matter how many times its updated or "fixed". The trust has been broken.
Idk why there's hate on visionary... I rooted my phone the second day the process was released and I've never had an issue since...? And I've rooted 2 other g2s well after and still never had any issues... just followed instructions. I understand it can brick your phone, but then again... was it really visionary that bricked it? Or was it an user error placing blame?? Just saying....
Sent from my HTC Desire Z/G2 using XDA App
yeah i rooted my g2 using the visionary method and have had no issues. and it seems like a lot of the bricking has occurred since i rooted, so i dont get it.
i did visionary root with success, but put yourself in the other end of ppls shoes who did use visinary an you get a brick and no way out of it, other than have gfree with jus pushing, and everythign else is done for you, i would go that route than a higher chance of bricking,
But this thread is not bout bricking this is about how to obtain root on the new stock rom that is out
Yes please! if anyone finds out how to root the G2 with stock Gingerbread could you please post! thanks in advance!

user error? lol in a one-click root... maybe they were pressing the top right corner of the button and that's their error lol
I don't know, either, but there has to be some reasonable explanation, doesn't there? After all, many people (myself included) had no trouble rooting with Visionary. OTOH, this is my second G2 - the first went back under warranty. With the first one, Visionary was unsuccessful at perm-rooting. This one, worked on the first try. Odd? Computers are NOT supposed to behave randomly - so why the difference?
when someone comes up with the visionary source, there are people that can understand it. until then it's a black box.
+1
I'm in the same boat. I just got a brand new G2 off craigslist, and was very happy to see that it had gingerbread. But to my extreme dissappointment, I cannot root it or downgrade it to gain root. Below are the things I have tried and didnt work.
Visionary
Gingerbreak (v1,0, 1.1, 1.2)
Rage
Super One-click
Z4Root
Androot
Gold card, for downgrading, also tried Gold card with above root methods.
I have also tried taking the stock Froyo PC10IMG and modified the info txt to read it as a newer version, and it loaded it, checked it, then just went back to the bootloader screen like there was no image there at all. Last night I was thinking that if I pulled the internal battery (the little tiny one) then it would lose its info, allowing me to load any PC10IMG I wanted. NOPE. Rom and all its info and settings are still intact. Weird, cuz I thought that's what that little battery was for. So, I'm out of options. I love the rom, it's fast as hell and the battery life is far better than when I had my last G2. I just wanna overclock, add some sounds without using Zedge or something (want internal mods that arent dependant on memory using apps), and do some theming. Oh, and removing that horrible pink bloat >:]
I just know that our awesome Devs will come up with something.
XDA ROCKS!!!!!
Waiting?!
Any updates regarding the root?
I tried everything, and nothing works.
I even tried to resend it to the repair center to get froyo, they returned it back saying that they could no longer Downgrade it!
well this is my argument, you can call them and ask them for one that is froyo
complain to them that you have netflix and paying for a service to use on your phone reason why you got it, and since "THEY" updated and made it unsuably they are obligated to give you one that can use netflix or a replacement that can use it as they have done something that was not confirmed with you if you sent it for simple repair, you did not get your phone back to how it was you got something different...
start this fight you will probably end up with a mytouch 4g

Hi!
The config options that you would have to change are written to the emmc on partition17 (main version) or partition7 (S-OFF, SuperCID, SIM-Lock) so that will not change if you pull any kind of battery.
The only chance to root this rom is that we find a new temp-root method and then do the usual things (misc_version, goldcard, downgrade, gfree, ...)
I do not expect that someone publishes a new temp-root before either T-Mobile/HTC rolled out the OTA or a different device running 2.3.4 really needs it.
Have fun - Guhl

Hello everybody! I'm new to the forums. I also got a really big question to ask. Well I usually root my phone with Visionary using a TempRoot. Then I updaed my Evo Shift via OTA, or going to the HTC Software update thing and now I can't really root my phone I guess. Is there a solution to root my phone even though I have Gingerbread? If not right now, maybe soon? I really want to use the tethering app to tether to my PS3. PLEASE HELP!!!!
As of now no there is not. And it might take a while before there is one. Idk if your phone already came with the ota update, but if it didn't you could have waited cuz the same day the ota went live there was a rooted version here already.
Just about 2 hrs later it was rooted.Pretty much a fundemental, if htc or sprint push out an ota update it will unroot your phone.

You can use the sprint RUU to downgrade to froyo and then root it, worked for me, I'm not on my computer so I can't link it but it shouldn't be that hard to find. And instead of temp rooting it there's a nice gui in the dev section that will perm root it pretty easily then u can flash the rooted 2.3 update through CWM

You will need a computer but if you remember setting up your gingerbread update it asks if you want to back up your device on google..... Use ruu to go back root and flash a rom like cm7 and you can restore your device or you can use titanium backup to... Well... Back up and restore your apps. Also google as you know backs up your contacts. So you should be set.... Anyone else let me know if there is something i missed.

The RUU can be found in the Evo Shift wiki by going to the following URL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Speedy
Luckily the RUU pretty much walks you through the process itself. You'll need the HTC sync drivers if I remember correctly in order for it to find your phone. You should be all good. Good luck, dood

You downgrade to 2.2.1 use gfree to obtain s-off then flash clockworkmod recovery and then flash any rom you want. the software number (2.2.1 2.3.4 2.3.5 etc.) Changes with each rom.

I dont know how to unroot it or put it back to normal so they could never tell that i had done anything with the phone i forgot to backup the phone.
Could anyone help me out? Sorry that i sound like such a noob.

HBOOT 2.8 With S-OFF but it still say's i have S-ON
i just put Smelkus Amon Ra-Supersonic-4.3 recovery on it.
it's not letting me post the link because i am a new user and cant post links until i make over 10 post.
But its HTCEVOHACKS Guide for people that need to root HBOOT-2.18.0001
Probably the easiest thing to do is follow the instructions on how to downgrade your Hboot and just leave it at that. You'll lose root and have s-on, and you'll also get rid of the watermark in the bootloader screen that indicates that it's unlocked. Follow the steps in this guide to downgrade your Hboot:

Or when i unroot my phone and downgrade my hboot will it set it all back to normal?

Essentially, s-on is "security on", and vice-versa. Having s-off allows you the ability to flash things like radios to your phone. As far as the stock ROM, there are links to two different stock Sprint ROM's (sometimes also referred to as RUU or ROM Upgrade Utilities) in that thread I linked you to. Just pick one. Since you won't be rooting it again it won't matter, and a Sprint rep won't know that the ROM on your phone isn't the one it came with to begin with.

Along the lines of the original issue, will Sprint activate a rooted phone or do they actively check to see if it's rooted before activating? Just curious b/c I have an extra one I'm selling and it's still rooted.
Yes i have another question too, if i unroot my phone is it perminitly unrooted? Or would i be able to re root it.
Just helpfull for the future if i decide to root whatever phone i upgrade too.

No it's not permanent. You can root again after unrooting. A lot of people will unroot to take their phone in for service or warranty claims and then root it again after it's fixed.

Nope, not permanent at all. You could do it every morning when you woke up, if you wanted to.
Stock by day. Rooted by night!
I am having a mytouch 4g now running stock rom 2.1. The phone came with S-Off. So if i download the 2.3 update, would it turn my phone back to S-on???
Also does the S-Off mean that if i want to root the phone, i would just need to flash the superuser.zip? or what???:silly:
Or Where will i continue from in case i want to root the phone. Also my device is "M4G2DE".
THANKS

Those are two pretty good guides. Honestly you have to first read, read and read some more to understand what you have and what can be done with it. Also in development there are answers to your questions under the stickys. Updating your phone would more than likely put it back to full stock status. Also why upgrade to an already 2 yr old software version.
I would recommend fully rooting your phone and the cyanogen method was easier to me. Also remember to google like crazy....

Thanks but i read a guide which said that the emmc chips in the mytouch 4g normally corrupts after wiping or factory reset. So i am a little confused. There have been many instances that people have bricked their mytouch 4g.

Why do you have two of the same thread?
Listen, here is the deal with the eMMC. Some are faulty, some aren't. If you have a crappy one, flashing CAN speed up the process of the chip giving out. If the chip does goes kaput, though, it always was. The only "bad" chips are the ones that fail. I and many others one here have a glacier with the type of chip people ignorantly refer to as "bad." I have flashed hundreds, perhaps thousands of times and it still works just fine. Understand?

confused? I am glad to see you rooted and if you used the method by CM then you are also SIM unlocked. Now stroll over to Development section and you can either flash the 2.3 stock rom or my suggestion the 4.2.2 rom by cnote74.
Your device is now freely yours!

Also does the S-Off mean that if i want to root the phone, i would just need to flash the superuser.zip? or what???:silly: - YOU WOULD NEED A CUSTOM RECOVERY TO FLASH ANYTHING

I agree with this one. This is how I got my MT4G rooted and custom roms installed just about a week ago.
Hey OP you ok... My suggestion still not working?
