Gingerbread

How would I go about getting gingerbread on my new mt4g?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

download cm7 (cyanogen mod 7) or download nexus s...either one will work from the development section. to use gingerbread, you will need clockwork recovery 3. (2 is flashed from rom manager) directions to flash clockwork recovery can be found through a search.
here are the links

You don't NEED a computer to do this, but it GREATLY helps things along.
and YES you must be perma-rooted with s=off.

Ok. Thanks. How long would all this usually take. How do I go about rooting my phone.

yes. to root your phone i suggest following the true permroot guide.
for the need of a computer..it is not required, but is recommended. it would easier to root your phone and flash your recovery with.

Dude, he was asking for HELP, not to be made fun of...
no, back to the question at hand. to root the mytouch 4g, you would need to follow one of the guides to rooting found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866175
that link also has links to all the other things you will need, but Ill provide them here as well for time's sake.
once you do that and have s-off, you will need to flash an alternate recovery to flash a rom. Normally, you would need to install rom manager to do this, then flash clockwork recovery through there, but to install gingerbread, it requires a special version of the recovery which is not officially supported by rom manager yet, so you will need to either install through fastboot (follow the steps provided here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852905 )
or else follow the instructions provided by TruBlue found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10670110#post10670110
once you have the right recovery installed, youll need to wipe data and caches, and then flash the gingerbread rom of your choice.
As for what apps you will need for all this: ROM Manager, as I mentioned (the premium version if you'd like to take advantage of CM built in nightly build update notifications). Titanium Backup (for backing up all your apps so you dont have to manually redownload them all, and have your app data intact on the new rom), and Root explorer (optional) for a root-enabled file manager.
Any further questions, feel free to send me a PM. Thanks to Tiger013 for compiling the list of everything, grankin for his Root how-to's, and TrueBlueDrew for his how to on install CWM 3x.

dude, after it took me a month(ish) to figure out how to root my own phone (with generous help from mftek), I wouldnt call anyone a noob. do you have google talk? I can try to walk you through the rooting process, and thats generally faster than posting. My username there is the same one I use here.

Yea I do and thanks would be great to get help. Mines the same as my username as well

When you look at the first post in the Nightlies thread or in the RC2 thread, you will see a link for the software pointing you to CyanogenMod.com's forum, thusly:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/14459-nightlies-cm7-discussion-of-nightlies/
In the first post in =that= thread you will find three links. 1) A link to the Team Douche mirrors to download CM7, 2) a link to download Gapps, 3) a link to Twitter to follow the committed patches as CM7 development continues.
Click on that second link. I hope this helps.

All the links are usually in the first post of the thread where you found the rom. To be perfectly honest you just need to slow down and read the first post COMPLETELY before flashing.
99% of these questions can be avoided by rereading the thread or by doing a simple search. Good luck.

Need help ! Nook Simple touch

Basically I bought a Nook amazingvalue £26 brand new with the hope of getting into reading.
I tried to root (on 1.1.0) but I bricked it.
I then recovered it using a tutorila although the Image must of been a USA one.
I now cant for the love of money get this thing updated to 1.2.1 UK nothing works could someone please help cheers.
Edit: Some deep reading found the reason I could not restore with the UK 1.2.1 was because it was signed got it removed and it worked thanks sorry for making a thread lol
