Without a coherent thought its kinda hard to figure out exactly what you need. If your device is rooted then you dont have to reroot to change something. Can you tell us exactly what you are trying to accomplish?

....When in ROM Manager, click on the first item that says "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery"..that'll get you a recovery, to make a backup, and to flash a new ROM. And to bring it to stock, the stock ROMs are here, just choose 2.2.1 or 2.3.4, then flash in recovery, or rename to PD15IMG.zip and reboot into bootloader, sorry I forgot which one when flashing stock. FLASHING STOCK WILL TAKE AWAY YOUR ROOT! If you want rooted GB, gohere! Good luck!
^^ Thanks. It worked. Now I can install a new ROM. I am having trouble backing up. ROM manager backs up the entire ROM. I just need Settings, SMS and contacts to be backed up. Not ROM

After that answer we can finally close this thread!
I ran into the same issue. I had stock, wanted to try Cm6, had to flash a different boot leaders to get Cm6 to flash properly.
Then I thought id see if I could go back to stock from a nandroid backup I made. Just as you had tried and I found out that I couldn't go back to stock via nandroid because of the same issue I had with going to Cm6 : the boot loader.
I made a nandroid backup up Cm6, booted to Cm6 and ran the 3.29.ruu exe on my desktop and this took me back to complete stock, even unrooted it.
So I rooted again via unrevoked, made a nandroid back up.
For the sake of testing I tried to restore from my nandroid backup of Cm6 and it worked. Then I restored back to stock via my nandroid and it worked.
Basically it came down to loader versions for me and bet that is your issue.
I know I rambled a bit but I think its relevant.

Awhile ago i tried rooting my phone with a tutorial from The Unlockr and it went well except i could get S to turn off and it would not perma root. Does anyone know of a tutorial for the newest version of Hboot that can root the phone? I found a tutorial that works with the G2 and Desire Z without ADB but i am not sure if it will work with the Mytouch 4g.
Sorry if this is in the wrong section and thanks in advance.
I see that you're new here. Please use the search function, this has been discussed a thousand times before.
HBoot 0.86.0000 is the bootloader that comes shipped with all Glaciers. It is NOT new and DOES NOT prevent you from rooting. The engineering bootloader (0.85.2007) is obtained either by flashing it manually or by using the root.sh method to root your phone, such as by following the instructions on theunlockr.com. If you ask most people, they'll recommend using the gfree method that is stickied in the development subforum for this device.
Well when i tried to root my phone the Hboot version in the tutorial was .84 and i realized that after i tried it again because i made a mistake but i did get it rooted but S was not turned off when it should have been and when i rebooted the phone was not rooted anymore and it ran terribly slow. Is there a way to sort of create an image of my phone so if anything goes wrong i just load it and my phone goes back to the way it was with all of the apps and such?

I cannot post links yet but it involved the Terminal Emulator Method
3a. Start terminal emulator up on your device.(I prefer this method b/c you can see the output.)
a. type "su" + enter to gain root privileges.
b. Type "cd /sdcard/root" + enter.
c. Type "sh root.sh" + enter.
d. Follow the on screen prompts.

You're confusing terms. Gingerbread is just Google's code name for Android 2.3. RoyalGinger is a specific Gingerbread-based ROM. Sense is another type of ROM (my personal favorite because the UI is so attractive). The best Sense ROM in my opinion is in my sig.

Go with RoyalGlacier to keep the phone fully functional and hassel free. Its a faster version of stock. Evil's Desire HD rom is also a good choice for a pure sense experience. Everything works on both rom's.

1) root the device and turn s=off. Threads in the development section
2) visit the Cyanogen mod CM7 thread
[sent via Cyanogen powered Android]
Root your phone via one of the many available methods although the gfree has seemed to have some issues. I'd recommend visionary method. Once you have root and have S-off install Rom manager via the market and flash clockwork (and correct me if I'm wrong as I get confused a lot with recoveries build #'s lol) mod recovery version 2.5.1.2, 3.0.0.5 or 3.0.0.6. 3.0.0.6 is the best available currently. After flashing clockwork in Rom manager (its the first thing that pops up) scroll to download Rom and download cyanogen mod 7 rc4 from that menu. (You will have finished downloading the rom and have booted into recovery by now) MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE PRECEDING. Then Wipe data and cache via recovery and then go to install zip via SD card then choose it again find the .zip file for cm7 and hit install. It WILL take awhile to install. After it finishes reboot. Again this will take awhile. Once it comes up, wait 3 minutes or so then reboot. Then set up and your good to go. Once you've done that its basically rinse repeat for other roms. But remember to read the roms flashing instructions before hand as it may have some wacky process for flashing. Good luck!

Once you're finished with that tutorial, you'll be rooted and have a custom recovery installed. At that point, create a Nandroid backup, and then wipe all three items in the recovery menu and install the custom ROM. There is no direct Nexus S port to the MT4G, but CM7 and RoyalGinger are essentially the same thing, and in fact better, so check those out in the dev section.
So I installed the new Sense 3.0 Fusion ROM and it's awesome. I couldn't figure out how to edit the app shortcuts that appeared on the lockscreen, though, so I posted over on a different forum and the admin answered it for me. I felt dumb, however, that someone like me - and like all of us I'm sure - who consider themselves somewhat tech-savvy sometimes can't figure out the solution to seemingly easy questions. The answer, by the way, is to go into the personalize menu then choose lockscreen and hit settings -- I know it sounds dumb, and I thought I had already tried that. My point is, sometimes we're too afraid to ask questions that seem dumb so we never do. I'll do my best to answer your questions, and remember, Google and xda are your friends. Maybe you can even post fun tricks you've found and we can all help each other a little. If this is a stupid idea then I'll just let it fade off into oblivion...

I used visionary 14 with Root.Rar file to acheive Perma-Root. I have also rooted using the g-free method (the semi-automated one) and have went back to stock using the PD15IMG.zip as well, with no problems.
You've used pd15img from both rooting methods? I only ask because I thought I read somewhere that pd15img can have issues with the rooting method that didn't use gfree. But if you've done it then no worries

PD15IMG.zip can be various things, I've seen it as taking you back to 100% stock and as flashing a new radio. Going back to stock with it I've read is easy enough (and I've done it once and I rooted with visionary/unlocker method), and I hear warnings all the time about just putting it on the sdcard and booting into bootloader to change the radio but it worked fine for me.
As with everything read the entire, or most of, forum before along anything you're not comfortable with.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I have used PD15IMG on a visionary root as well with no issues.
A question that I did have and felt like a goof asking it was not being able to get into my recovery by holding down volume down + power. The issue was that it would constantly load the PD15IMG when I tried this and would not allow me the option of booting into recovery because I kept that file on there anmed PD15IMG.
Once I took it off of the sd card, I was able to boot straight into recovery without issue. My workaround now, because I like to keep it on my sd card in case of emergency is simply keeping root explorer on there and it allows me to change the name of the file to whatever I want, allowing a boot into recovery by the v+p method and If I need it, I can just rename it through root explorer and it will load and put me back to stock!
And FWIW, I think this thread is a fantastic idea!

If you are completely wiping when you install ROMs and don't use Titanium to restore backups I would try flashing the radio (at your own risk of course) or running the PD15IMG.zip and reverting to stock. If you aren't wiping completely do it, if you are using titanium know that it can cause errors when restoring data.

Wow you still running iced glacier? There are way better stable roms now a days. Might want to check them out.
Maybe flashing a different rom will stop it from trying to update.
But I'm also curious. Doesn't also give you an option to yes continue with the update or not to continue?

what would you recommend for a new ROM? at the time I rooted it (like 5 months ago) everyone was recommending it as the fastest stable one around, haven't really thought about changing it but would like faster one.
and No, If it had the option this would be so much easier haha, It just starts it it's self, It will say "shutting down" then will say it is loading the new update then halfway threw it says it failed to read the signature and will turn on recovery

Try royal ginger, without sense. Its very lightweight and fast as hell. I run it with DemonSpeed kernel.

thanks I'll try it out
Imma load a new ROM to see if it will fix the issue but first I need to back up all my apps, anyone know how to if it wont let me use the phone for more then a min before throwing me into recovery again, I use Titanium backup but have no been able to make a new back up with the new apps I've downloaded in the last couple weeks, also have a lot of app date I need to move onto the SD card
alright in recovery I'm doing a back up right now, Then Im going to restore it and hopefully it solves the issue. If it does I will delete the thread.

Just did a backup from recovery and am about to restore my system, will my backup be safe? if I do a system restore does it touch my SD card at all?
ughhhhhhhhh! just a full restore and it still turned off and went into recovery, can someone please help?? If all else fails then I will put a new ROM on, but I really want to fix it first so I can back up all my apps. anyone know a way to fix it??

If you do a back up of a currupted rom you will restore a currupted rom. Did you try flashing a different rom?
