hey i have the lastest update on my mytouch 4g so my question can I still downgrade to 2.2.1 and root? please help me out thanks
I'm guessing by latest update you mean gingerbread 2.3.4...and yes you can downgrade and root 2.2.1.
The right way to know would be trying to root fre3vo and seeing if the exploit still works. No need to ask the forum for that, as most people won't be able to answer you, having their phones rooted long time ago.

If you want to stay rooted than do not install the ota! There hasn't been any method found to root the official version yet

What? No.
Op, it will just try to install, and then fail. Then you're all set. Nothing bad will happen
Thanks Jmoney47,hanone I was getting worried for a second there
Even if you did get it, you can still get back to froyo, but you don't have to worry
Hi,
I just want to know if with the 2.3.3 the root process is diffrent, or just do the same thing as the old 2.2.1.
Anyone as already tried?
funny story its non existent, it cant be rooted and wont be for a very long time if ever
I think you're wrong, cause maybe just needs to downgrade the firmware as usual.
But I need someone who already did it.
if you can figure out how to downgrade it, go ahead. But as of yet, there's no way to root the official gingerbread update.

And how about the "goldcard" ? create one, and then install just lower version via recovery or something... I've read somewhere that u can install lower builds of OTA and then root the phone ... will that work? or i just missed something during lecture...
I believe that the desire hd gingerbread update has been rooted by means of downgrading. We just need to wait for someone to figure it out for us DZ users

I did that for rooting the 2.2.1 and downgranding to 2.2
Hope works for this one too.
Goldcard won't work, yet.
Stay tuned though, very soon a temp-root will be released, which will allow you to downgrade.
