I have been trying to downgrade to Froyo 2.2.1 on the mytouch so I can root but mega upload is down or the file is corrupt. Does someone still have this ROM? Thanks!
PD15img.zip sorry typo...
There was a guide in general section sticky that has a link to froyo pd15img. It's part of the guide on how to downgrade. I just used it a couple of weeks ago.

Hey guys
I'm currently using an older version of RA-hero. How do I upgrade to the new version (v1.7.0.1)?
ADB for some reason won't work properly with my laptop, is there an alternative way to upgrade my recovery rom?
Thanks,
Alex
edit: oops my bad, I thought I was posting under Q&A. Sorry!
Try using the update.zip posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7873924&postcount=1208
Have a look at BTDAGs guide linked in my signature, there should be step by step instructions using Terminal Emulator, failing that you can also try Flashrec but that doesn't work on all roms for some reason.

I've already got that ! Do I just flash it like I would do with a ROM? Or is there some other process?
... Oh, too late, the update.zip method posted above will be the easiest route to go.

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
CM7:

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.

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

Download the stock image (there are plenty of links here in the forums)...
1. Put image on root of memory card.
2. pull battery
3. put battery back in
4. hold volume down and power
5. follow prompts.
6. .....
7. profit.
There are plenty of guides to this with links in the stickes and all over the dev section.
Should get you back up and going with the stock OS.

Here is the link to how to downgrade guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
so i rooted my phone thee other night successfully using the gfree method.....(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996)........before i did i had to downgrade from 2.3.4 i followed this guide which is awesome.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912.....anyways i thought the part7backup-numbers.bin file that's created on the sd card would be just one file but i have 4 of them all 4 have different numbers in the file name itself...are these all the same file just split up in 4 parts....reason i asked is because if i ever need to revert to stock do i use all 4 files or just one and which one would i use...btw i downgraded and root my g/fs mt4g as well and her part7back-number.bin was 5 separate files......
I am sure you did the gfree few times and every time you did it that just made another part7backup now if you do a md5cksum on it you can see if all of them are same. If so just keep the oldest file and you will be okay.
What's md5cksum? Im new to this.

checking the md5 sum. the md5 sum is a bunch of letters/numbers code given to a file.
use an app like mand5 on the market to verify the md5 sum.
