This page should have all your answers. If you're looking to use sense ROMs, I recommend changing to the DZ hboot as it is necessary to run newer Sense ROMs (3+ i think).

Assuming you know adb well...
Yes, you have to downgrade it first then root it. I suggest you using these guides here at cyanogen for downgrade and root
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/TMobile_G2:_Firmware_Downgrade_(Gingerbread)
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/TMobile_G2:_Rooting
Reason: The web page it self is a heck shorter than the one at XDA.
Just please click the thing it read it, it's short.
Once you have done these things you should have rooted Froyo with CWM Recovery 3. While it's an adequate version I suggest you update it first (Play Market to the rescue) then do an Nandroid backup, just in case.
One thing you need to know: When you're in CWM Recovery, you need to press the trackpad to select options.
Now you have to get a Desire Z Hboot. I recommend this guide
http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html
Once you have the Desire Z Hboot, you can use Sense ROMs. Stable ROMs would be any GB ROMs (the Desire Z/ G2 is pretty well-supported here), like this one

Hope this helps.

Thank u very muuch. Ill be doing this in an hour. And are there any other sense roms??

There is a whole development section for you to look through here.
For someone who has 1500 posts you really want your hand held.

Because the mt4g and the g2 are totally different from the old htc phones internally. Someone might Wanna go into more detail, but that's the bare fact

there are two tools to s-off once you root, one for radio s-off and one for eng s-off, run the radio one, then the eng one, you will find them in the android development section. you need to s-off before you can flash clockwork mod on the DHD, you can flash that from rom manager
Cool so i need to do that bit more to it on dhd unrevoked rooted and put clockwrk on lol thanks do the roms available make it worth rooting

Haha! Well, it might help if there was actually a question in your first post
But in presuming you're looking to root it, check the Development topics, lots of ROM's to choose from, guides in there to follow on step by step instructions on how to do it.
I would suggest reading through those first before asking questions though as many people ask the same questions
Yeah im familiar with roms ect but i just wanted to no if his model was compatible with visionary thanks for help dude also its branded tmobile so would i make a goldcatd before or after rooting to debrand

yep it will, before you flash a custom rom though, you need to check out the 2 s-off tools in the developent section (Radio & ENG) after you root, run both of thoes tools from your pc, you can then use rom manager to install clockworkmod recovery, then your free to install all the custom roms you want
After you install Clockwork, don't forget to take a backup of your T-Mobile ROM just in case anything happens you can flash it back to stock.
Yeah cool guys so
1. Root with visionary.
2.Permroot
3. S.off ENG
4. Install rom manager and install clockwork.
5. Flash rom?

You should get radio s-off as well as eng s-off ng
Sent from my Desire HD pocket rocket.
Then you can go on dev boards and learn about radios and things like that, but that is the stuff that can brick you're phone as my friend recently found out with his desire HD, but if you follow instructions and don't unplug half way through :L you should be fine!
I no about radios and roms im a desire user just needed help sorting my bros dhd for him

Unrooting from.....

I just traded some one an HD7 for this MyTouch 4G.... Yayyy, back to Android ! Well, they already have it rooted and everything, but I like to start from scratch when I am modding my phones. I am coming from a Cliq so I'm not familiar with HTC. How should I go about unrooting the phone? And where should I start in the forum while trying to get familiar with modding this phone?
If it's already rooted, why unroot it? I would just make sure the latest recovery is installed, wipe it, and flash whatever ROM you want.
I'd you are looking to mod it... then you want to keep it rooted.
Its a good thing. You can even run the stock rom and make backups of all your apps and settings.
Root is good!

Look in the development section... there are many threads with step by step instructions. Search is your friend.

search PD15IMG. Sets you back to stock and unroot.

+1....As Rockstarar said, the pd15img makes you go back to being unrooted. The pd15img is the stock OS image and the thread will on that will explain how to flash it.
After that I'd say check out the "Guide to permaroot" thread, that will explain the process in getting rooted permanently. Next you should check out the thread for clockworkmod Recovery 3.0.0.6, thats a version that enables us to flash both 2.2 and 2.3 base roms. Alot of ppl miss that thread and end up using the wrong recovery to flash roms and as a result they get boot loops.
After that you're good to go! Got alot of options in the development section to choose from, so pick ur poison
I remember when I jus started this thing I had no clue where to start so that should give you a nice guideline on how to get going
Thanks!! I can't wait to get started =P.
Good luck!

Pure Panache repack

I'm having trouble finding - is there a "pure as possible", pre-rooted only, repack of the Panache ROM for custom recovery? Over at HoFo there are some Mobilicity users who bought an MT4G because it's cheaper, and they want the same experience as the Panache. I figured the best way for them is to get Radio S-OFF on the MT4G first, and then flash the Panache ROM from custom recovery.
RoyalPanache 1.2.

Seems like that one has still been tinkered with, and includes apps not very useful to CDNs like Netflix, T-Mo Wifi calling. Is there just a pure repack with as close as possible to NO mods at all except pre-root?
So your looking for unbranded sense? RoyalPanache is as close as you'll get. If your that picky you can just go in and delete the apks from the system/app or data/app directory. Not trying to be a douche or anything just don't really feel like elaborating haha
Sent from my HTC Glacier
I'm looking for a repacked version that is 100% the same as the Panache RUU, except it's an update.zip instead of a RUU. I don't see any technical reason why that should be impossible, but it could be that nobody has thought to make it yet.
