You are suppose to put in your own MSL in the "##3282#" part. You can get this by rooting and using terminal emulator or there's an app in the play store that also helps you find it. Worst case you call Sprint and ask for your MSL. It will be a 6 digit number.

Do you have ADB and the required files installed and in the same directory you are using? It's been a while since I've used ADB, but since you aren't getting a response it looks like the files aren't in the same directory.

Yes you must set up pc companion once and repair your phone. It will take about 15 minutes. Then go get your device id from reg edit. That will be the correct one. Hope this helps

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

how do i get adb
download the SDK
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html
Or you can do it through connectbot. I did my phone and my girlfriends brothers phone and her sisters phone that way. But learning adb will prove useful later, worst case scenario you can run the phone

So, I have 2.3 via the store and am considering going back to 2.2 so I can root and use a different ROM. The problem and my reason for posting is I cannot get sdk to install properly. I run it and it tries to update everything but fails and won't allow me to connect to my phone. Now do I need temproot before this will work or am I not installing it correctly? I have read a bunch of tutorials but haven't seen this issue come up. All help is appreciated.

have you tried installing just the ADB drivers? TrueBlue_drew has a great walk though. Link in my signature.

Windows requires administration privileges to download and install things on the SDK. Try right-clicking on the icon and selecting Run as Administrator.
OK, couldn't get it rolled back (lady was retarded on the phone) so what do I do now? I ran as admin and it looked for updates and such but found no virtual drives. Will anyone be willing to walk me through this over the phone?
OK! Got adb working now. How do I roll back? LOL I will be searching but in the meantime if you wanna add something, I would appreciate it.
Glacier Wiki, section "Root", subsection "Gingerbread 2.3.4".

So I just two days ago received my MT4G and am going to root. I received this phone running GB already so I need to downgrade to froyo before rooting. Well I have attempted to follow a few guides on downgrading but have been stopped each time by the part where it says "use visionary to gain temproot" because visionary doesn't work for me on this MT4G.
I have tried using William's beta downgrade one click but not working yet.. any help?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
They mean use visionary method to root regularly after downgrading. When you downgrade, you will go back to froyo being able to root with visionary again.
Downgrade method here

If i'm reading this correctly.
You would place them in the c:\adb folder
and when you open the CMD prompt you change the drive to c:\adb
So now I have to change all the commands to reflect the folder destination and I will b ok?

You just just change you directory.
for example my computer pops up
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\KOI User>
when i got into the CMD promt
so i use the cd c:\adb to change the directory
so it will look something like this
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\KOI User>cd c:\adb
c:\adb
then i can just push/pull/execute what ever i need from the c:\adb folder
alright well I plan to root and all tonight if I have questions can I pm u?
