I am confused as to which mytouch I have.. I know its not a slide and It is 4G, Its a T-mobile phone but I dont think it is a glacier... The Model number just says T mobile Mytouch 4g. The back has HTC on it.. I am confused, I want to root my phone but I am not sure if I should go under the slide section or what. Please Assist me in finding the correct forum for my phone.

Do you have the four buttons on the bottom of the screen with the track pad under it?
Edit: Post a pic if you can. It'll make it easier.

I'm pretty sure you have an HTC Panache then. I have it as well its pretty much the same except Panache is loaded with Sense.

Lol... I have done this, This tells me T-Mobile MyTouch 4g There isnt anything that tells me which one it is.. I know there are many types of Mytouch including Slide and Glacier.. I am currently installing my webcam drivers on my laptop to take pictures of the phone.. I know its not LG and I know its HTC but under this forum there are slides (which mine is not) and Glaciers (Mine could be but I am not sure because it does not specify this)
Ok here are the pictures of the phone..

Glacier is the development code name (used internally by HTC during hardware testing, before it was branded).
The slide model is code named 'Double Shot', different forum.
And the Panache I believe is just the CAN/International name for the MT4G.
Glacier, MT4G and Panche(?) = All the same device.

I'm pretty sure that its a Glacier. A glacier is a mytouch 4g they're one in the same. If you live in the U.S. and got it from someone here its a glacier. The Pananche is the Canadian and European version of the mytouch they are a little bit different and have different ways to root. I hope this helps
Edit: I'm almost completely sure it's a glacier. Another way is to use the xda app and look in your signiture in the settings and it will say sent from my Glacier. Like mine does.

that's definitely the HTC Glacier Mytouch 4G.
the backside of the Mytouch 4G Slide doesn't look like that.
Alright!!! thank you all for your help, after searching on this forums I at first thought it would have been glacier but then got turned around and around trying to make sure that I root this the correct way and not with some other phones method... I would not want to brick it. and by the way yes I do live in the USA and I bought it off of craigslist from a dude here. Thank you all for your help!

Haha.
Well the phone has no keyboard, so it's not a slide.
It's Branded with T-mobile, so it's not a panache.
It's made by HTC so it's not an LG myTouch or Huawei
That leaves one option, as far as released phones.
Now the bootloader verified it for you.

Later this month sounds about right. The G2 was released. If T-Mobile gave us froyo before the g2 was released then people who have the Slide won't get the g2. Its all about marketing. The only thing is, why would a rep tell you that before that information is even released to Engadget, etc. (no offense)

I would think they want as much people who have the slide to simply just run impatient and switch over to the g2. Marketing! I don't think the reps get news before us. They're not the major players (no offense to any reps who are reading). I think they get the news the same time as us or at least a day or 2 before us, but then again I could be wrong.

You can root and then simply unroot to get your warranty back, but I don't suggest you root. Its not easy to root the slide, also alot of people who root the slide switch back to stock because they realize that not everything works with a flashed rom.

I've been using CR_MOD for a month and I like it. Everything work + a2sd + wireless tether. I can even flash live wallpaper and use it with ADW. I can even remove the built-in swype and install another version of swype which support more languages. I'm really satisfied with this rom.

that's why this is hypothetical question, it looks like all the features are the same with these phones but there are key differentiators like battery life, screen size, track pad, and ofcourse the stock froyo. So, I thought I would ask which ones people prefer over the other.
Hello everyone,
Just as a warning: you will LOSE your S-OFF if you apply the upcoming Froyo OTA directly from T-Mobile and be UNABLE to S-OFF again. IEF (AlphaRev developer) has not been able to hack the new HBOOT 1.0 (for Legend and Espresso) which will be distributed with the new Froyo OTA for our device. If you apply the OTA via the T-Mobile firmware update tool or through a zip-file provided directly by T-Mobile you will be permanently stuck S-ON.
The ONLY safe way to keep your S-OFF is to use Froyo ROMs provided by developers in the Developers section.
Hope this saves some sanity for others, but unfortunately I'm stuck S-ON now.
Wor. This is big. Thanks for the heads-up. I almost just did it to "play around".

It's not out yet, so you couldn't have done it. CR's ROM is not fully-stock... it has been modified to add root and remove the HBOOT.
I was referring to the official T-Mobile OTA firmware which isn't even being pushed to phones yet, but it will be SOON.
Really? I still have S-ON ever since I gained root lol
I haven't done S-Off....
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
Come on nbetcher, you should have known better. Remember how OTA's bork your root access - it (to me) would be apparent that they would do the same for s-off. Is HBOOT a different version now though?

I have heard that the slide will not get the OTA update. It proly has something to do with this merger with AT&T. They are going to want everyone to buy new phones now and offer all of these crazy deals for everyone just to trap you.

I love the My touch 4G to death, but my wife doesn't seem to like it much. So, I'm need to find something to replace hers. Her's is being used unlocked on AT&t. So, does anyone have any suggestions? On eBay I can sell it for $200-240 so, i'd like to sell it and buy a replacement. It needs to be GSM (AT&T or T-Mobile phones are fine), in my price range and have similar specs. I have really can't think of anything. She hates it so bad she's using her old Samsung Magnet until I find her something :/ lol

She can't make text messaging signature and it doesn't have a keyboard :/
I've already talked to her..... There is no reasoning.
I've never heard of a text messaging signature before.
Good to know about the other thing, though. So the only requirement is a hard keyboard?
Stick with the my touch..
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
For the text message signature she could try using Go SMS Pro in the market.
The only gsm android phone I can think of with a keyboard is the G2. I've used it in the past though and found it to be slightly slower than the MyTouch due to the smaller ram and lower processor speed. I agree that she should stick with the MyTouch.

if she wants to have a physical keyboard then your gonna have to switch phones, id say go for the mytouch 4g slide just cuz it would be a more familiar platform and cuz the g2 would be a downgrade in hardware
Hard to imagine not liking the phone over those two reasons. Swype is so much better and faster than conventional texting. And as for the signature, I'm not rooted and I use GO SMS. As already mentioned, it has the option to add a signature. Plus it's much better than the stock text. JMO. Each to their own I guess.
After a solid year with my MT4G (which I am still in love with...) I just bought the GSII
Have to say so far, this phone's bad ass.
