If you do brick your phone, with its heft it should make for a much better paperweight than your mytouch. I think you'll be happy with its function as such.
Refer to the oC thread in the development section. Read the first page and if you need to most of the thread.

You did at least look here right?
This same topic was addressed last night in this general forum. You should have searched. But because I'm such a good person here.
I'll link you everything you need.
the module you'll need is here. It's the "Binary (OTA 11/03)" file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8715636&postcount=1
The gscripts are here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9063932&postcount=5
Read this to know what the scripts do. Dont download any files from there just read the text.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8716108&postcount=24
Also download gscript off the market. It's free.
And last just see the video in my link. The first script you'll wanna push is the cpoc file.
EDIT: take a look at the youtube video in the first link, towards the end it will tell you what to set the SetCPU setting as. If you're cheap and don't wanna buy SetCPU you'll be surpirsed to know that XDA members get it free. I won't tell you where you can find it. Learn to search for things using google.

Samsung not only sent me a new phone, they sent me the Galaxy S 4G.... I no longer have a working Vibrant. I will leave my guides up and try to check them periodically.
If I am able to assist ANYONE, OR if my guides need to be updated, please let me know.
This is my 4th Android device, and I have to say the Vibrant had the best of everything. I am very grateful to you all and hope to help down the road!
ALSO, YOU ALL LIKELY KNOW THAT XDA USER OKA1 SENT ME HIS HD2 AS A LOANER... ITS AMAZING, AND NOW FOR SELL. PLEASE SHARE THIS LISTING VIA SOCIAL OUTLETS. CASEY DESERVES IT... A TRUE ASSET TO THIS COMMUNITY!!!

And all of that was a result of THIS community. I meant it, I consider myself lucky to have been a part of it. The pasture is not always greener... I can already tell I am going to miss the OG Vibrant - the 4G lost 15GB of internal memory.... that is absurd. I do not use a FFC, but the download speeds are about double... so I wont complain too much.
Thank you all for the kind words. I meant it, let me know if I can help.
Also, the Vibrant 4G guides suck - think I have some work to do
Your loss to the vibrant community is as big as a dev leaving. Thanks for all your help to me. You and your guides helped me so much. I don't think there is anyone here that tried to help and be as positive about it as you. Congratulations on the new phone. God bless bro!!
sad to see ya go s15274n, i remember it was your noob guide that got my vibrant rooted to begin with, and the rest was history, i know you'll help guide that section to its potential like you helped this one.
Although I have not personally interacted with you, have seen lot of helpful articles and guides from you. Makes me sad some of the most vocal guys and active devs are leaving lately. I guess it was just a matter of time. Vibrant being my first smart phone and still so much in love with, the feeling is kinda weird. I keep myself up-to-date with all the latest in the world of mobile phones and nothing has made me think of upgrading from Vibrant so far (except the GS II international). Wish you the best with Vibrant 4G. Stop by once a while if you have important android news to share, okay?
Thanks a lot for your help. Greetings
A sad day indeed. Thanks for all that you did for us

There's only one rom and its the one in the dev section. Flash it and read before posting. Also, if you ask about the camera I may have to kill you.
Sent from my Htcclay's SuperCM7 mt4g using xda premium
I wouldn't recommend an ics rom yet unless you have no need for a camera our video camera. I don't believe flash is working right either. I may be wrong about that though. I would suggest unity, Cm7, our miui for rooms to try out until a solid release of ics is available.

I believe most of those who are now answering questions, actually could read and search and weren't lazy enough to skip those parts.
And "everyone is leaving this forum" is a bland, non-backed-up-by-anything, and most probably wrong assumption.

At least SAY 'I've looked everywhere! Can you point me to an answer for...' Even if you haven't looked, at least pretend to know how to use a search bar..these things have been around for over a decade lmao you might get help for a dumb question and not get flamed if you at least lie and say you searched
Also, no one likes dumb people or dumb questions, it isn't a trait unique to developers on xda, even though I've encountered my share of smart asses, the fount of knowledge here far exceeds any petty squabble i might get into..if something like that makes you leave the site then it's more your loss than xda's, you are really only useful to the community if you can debug or develop, they are doing us a favor by letting us muggles into their world of fairy dust and unicorns lmao

Be sure to have a full understanding of what needs to be done before doing it yourself.

Temp root is just temporary rooting the phone.. Usually after you restart your phone it goes away..permanent root is rooting your permanently..even after you shutoff or restart your phone it stays root.. Then you can install/flash custom roms etc..try looking at the guide resources bible.. And Google some terms you don't understand...also YouTube " root mytouch4g" look at as much videos as you can before you start doing anything...
Am guessing you have version 2.3.4.. Press menu..settings...about phone..software information...android version.. What does it say...
If it says 2.3.4 then you need to downgrade to 2.1 before you can before root your phone.
Also take time to read this....

rooting and CFW
Haha, I remember being in your exact position, except i had to downgrade. But here's what I did bro. Follow this link: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Glacier:_Full_Update_Guide. It will tell you all about rooting and downgrading if you have to. It's what I used to root my Glacier. DO NOT use any one click root apps or programs to root. ADB is probably the most secure and reliable way to root your phone. Make sure you are running Froyo, also. And as for the ROM, it all depends on your preference. In my view, there are three types of ROMs- Sense, Stock, and MIUI. Sense will most likely be 3.0 or 3.5, I like it because it is smooth and I love Sense. I would recommend using either Virtuous or CoreDroid. But then there is Cyanogenmod 7. It's the best stock Android ROM, full of tons of tweaks and mods. Last, there is MIUI, which is it's own thing. I use it when I get bored of Sense and CM7 because it's so different, that I feel like i'm not even running Android

I can also post a link on how to set up and use ADB if you want
