I recently got a new a new MyTouch 4G since my other one got lost.
The new one has 2.3.4 with HTC Sense. I wanted to root my phone, but found out that I would have to downgrade and do a bunch of other stuff. Now I don't care if it is rooted or not. I would just like to have HTC sense with all the bloated software removed and just have Stock Android 2.3.4. This is also my first time here. Can anyone help? Thanks
PS: My previous mytouch 4g was rooted and was running 2.3.4. Mod version RoyalGinger 3.0
You have to "downgrade and do a bunch of other stuff".
Or leave it as is.
No third option.

The wiki link in his signature has all of the information you'll need.
the "noob" thread in my signature is also a good place to start.
They'll both lead you to the end result. Just to different ways to get there.
This post has the links to download the stock 2.3.4 rooted, and how to downgrade if you want to

Hey guys, I just searched through and found:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850
*Still a new noob on the forums so I wasn't able to link the complete thread.
That thread for updating rooted phones. Is there a different method for EVO's or does this post apply for EVO's as well?
Just rooted my phone this past weekend (with Unrevoked3) and I'm quite new to the root ways. Currently not running any special ROM's just using launcherPRO instead of Sense UI.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
If you get it upload it here we can do nothing for rooted phones till soneone who got the update actually takes the time to upload it

Nice find! I'll sticky this for a couple weeks and we'll see where it goes from here.
Yes, hopefully we will get a proper version of the 2708 Radio for the 1.2
Cool, I'll be unrooting the wife's phone for this.
O.T.A. for My Touch 3g Fender/1.2
Okay this thread is for the My Touch 1.2/Fender OTA to be released 1/12/11. If you have any insight as to what we need to do to "catch" this update please post here. I know a lot of people are going to say the Magic OTA has already been released but this is a different phone that was not included in the first update and I'm sure the Magic forum Moderator knows this better than most. Does anyone know for sure if we can just be on the stock Fender ROM with root and still receive the OTA? Any information regarding this topic is welcome please post for the rest of us!
JeffakaJeff and I have custom build of this update for people who want root and the update go here.

They are not the same the Fender/1.2 is a 32a but they use the EBI0 kernel like the 32b Dream. From what I have seen the 32a Magic use the EBI1 kernel (correct?).

You guys must have issues reading and searching. Not only has this been discussed... but I started an entire new thread just for this phone. And because I knew that would not be enough... I started a WHOLE new thread dedicated to the update just for this phone. Hell, I even made them stickies! Yet... here we are.
I merged your thread in with the appropriate topic already in discussion.

Does anyone know for sure that's necessary? I've heard that being on Binary's deodexed fender with root would suffice to receive the update. Anybody know for sure?
I know nobody want's to talk about it but that damn keyboard is the only reason I'm doing this to begin with.

Logcat to get update links

Use logcat (search this forum) to capture the download link(s).
Expecting three separate zip files we collectively need links for. First should be new hboot/radio package. Second will be the ROM package for each device (one for for 1.2 and one for Fender.)
Edit: No more than two files, we already have hboot and a radio update (if any) would be packaged with the ROM itself. - K
Now what I want to know is will this keep my phone from rebooting when I get a Gmail or SMS notification while using Google Nav and Pandora radio at the same time?
Kind Regards,
Kevin

So being hooked to ADB running DDMS will give you the links?
I unrooted the wifes phone to make sure it catches the update. I'll be sticking with CM 6.1. I'm going to have her not do the updates when she gets prompted so I can pull the links. I don't imagine we'll see an SPL update, but I'm thinking we might get the new radio. We'll see, unless its in that announcement from T-Mobile already.

I'm going to try the stock Fender w/root. A while back I un-rooted and re-rooted but with the UniversalAndroot this time, so I should show up as stock if I am on 1.6 and my build.prop is right. Anybody know of an app that would store logcat on sdcard?

I found a nice one in the market and the best thing about is after testing the logcat won't start when I start the app it will have information from long before the app starting point so this should work nicely.- See the update message start the logcat and it should go back far enough to include when the message was sent and any temporary cache download links (lets hope) This should get me the first one till I get home and hook to my computer-will running the ddms during the update process get any subsequent links?

I'll add some tags in a few minutes.
If you are just using the stock just for the Swype keyboard you can look into SlideIT. Can't remember how much it costs but it's pretty much the same thing. Really. Some may even argue that it's better.
Regarding the update for the rooted stock roms... you should be able to get the update still. My theory is that the rom, spl and radio would be the only thing to get the update. Rom (stock), SPL, (1.33.0013), radio (2.22.23.02) possibly kernel. If any of these are different then you may not get the update. Another theory of mine is that it may require a certain build.prop file. It's been a while but I'm pretty sure that I used the same build.prop file in my rooted stock rom. So either way I don't see why you wouldn't still get the update.
Looks like I need to find a flashable 2.23.XX radio I switched to the 2708 radio when it came out.

Anything to read a logcat will work. Download links should look something like below:
I/SystemUpdateService( 358): starting download of http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/tmobile_opal/package-name-here.zip
Just so I don't get a reply about this link not working... Again, just an example of what you are looking for.

Hello Everyone,
I was using my Mytouch 4g and wondered the other day, if there would ever be an update? I am pretty much a noob and running Android 2.2.1. This is probably a stupid question, but is there an update for the Mytouch 4g and is it worth it if there is? What are some specs? Also I am not rooted, do I need to be rooted?
THANK YOU for any answers possbile,
Justin
It would only take a second to take a look at General section and see if there are any threads that contain words "official" and "update" in their names
Thanks! Before I update do you think it is worth it? What are some changes?

I'm sorry but one more quick question, will you be able to use HTC Sense?
don't update if you want to root
If you want to root and change stuff then stay with 2.2.1 as far as i know there is no way to perm root 2.3.4 yet, if not update. As for you question about HTC sense its Tmobiles version like you have now.

Yes... The myTouch 4G is powered by HTC Sense with an overlay called T-Mobile mySense, aka espresso Sense.

I just recently rooted and flashed my first ROM, and neidlinger's guide helped my tremendously
MyTouch 4G. CyanogenMod 7.0.3
So I've just downgraded and rooted, I'm trying to find a 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) stock rom that is rooted. I can't seem to find it anywhere and I've been looking for a while. Correct me if I'm wrong but re-updating to 2.3.4 after downgrading to root will either not work or not stay rooted right? If the update will work I'll just do that but if not can someone provide a link to the rom I'm looking for?
Ive seen the stock senes(less) rom but I'm literally looking for completely stock. normal mytouch sense and all.

I saw this thread, but from what I understand all the PD15IMG files must be flashed in the bootloader and you will lose root...unless one of those files you can flash through recovery? theyre looking for the rooted stock MySense Gingerbread 2.3.4
