If this device is not rooted by Monday, I will just have to return it... I hate it when a device is locked down, and yes I am sorta hoping that Monday Samsung unveils the Nexus Two...
EDIT: Okay, a lot of you love this device, I am just saying that this may be another reason why I would return the device, I have more things I dislike about this device besides not having a root. So for anyone telling me to return it already, sure I just might, maybe because I have more other reasons.
About the Nexus two, I am just saying that any other device might have some things that I like more. I am simply asking if someone is working on it.

Be patient. The devs are working on rooting TWO 4G phones (this and the G2). I'm in the market for a new Android device myself and I'm on the fence until one of these gets rooted or until the N2 comes out.
Some devices are rooted before they are even on the market, I think I just might return this device if the Nexus 2 is real

This phone is locked down the same way the G2 is. When devs figure out permanent root on the G2, we will have it too. It ain't gonna be by Monday though. You might as well return your phone today. :rollseyes:
Damn OP, you really need to chill! Not all phones are the same, and not all get rooted right when they come out.
Yes, it sucks that we're dealing with a new chip, and it's gonna take time to crack, but that's the way it is. I assure you that we have some of the best Dev's working really hard to get this going.
You demanding to have root by Monday or you'll return the phone only makes you look like a fool! Hate to say it, but we're not going to see root for weeks, or even months for matter.
All I gotta say now is... walk your sorry ass back to T-Mobile, and exchange the phone for 2 tin cans, and a long ass string.
I hope you go return it and realize how silly you are for doing such a thing.

Nexus 2 Launch Plagued by Hardware Issues
http://bit.ly/be8g6s
I hope this link helps you with your decision.
wow it amazes me how you can give a deadline... how are you helping to gain root access? what have you contributed? or are you just waiting around for other people to do all the work so you can just flash a rom :/
Also to be clear I dont understand how you can say you hate being "locked down"... say you did get root and flashed a rom then aren't you just locked down in a different way? (now having anything that dev personally likes on your phone, instead of what the htc dev's like)
sorry for the little rant it just drives me nuts how everyone seems to want things done for them around here these days...

Just because it's a new Nexus doesn't mean it's going to be as good, or better than Nexus One. And just because previous Samsung phones were root-able, doesn't mean this one is going to be as well.
If it's like the rest of Galaxy S phones, then go ahead and knock yourself out. Make sure you enjoy your functional GPS until Monday though.
I was just gonna say the same thing... from what I have read the N2 is basically a Vanilla Galaxy S phone... the major hardware issuing plaguing the announcement is most likely due to GPS hardware issues.

With the updated visionary app that starts on boot it works like a permanent root. I'm sure there are some restrictions but I am using it rooted for setcpu and have not had one issue with this yet. Granted I don't use the terminal to transfer things though.

I just like to explore what my device can do, I love having the option to install this little fix or this ROM. It's freedom what I like... I understand everyone loved the device, I have my own reasoning, I came from a Galaxy S, I had no complaints other than 2.2 taking more than forever to come.
Most of you are insulting me rather than thinking if I have different reasons, I don't just simply dislike the device because it has no root, I have other reasons. You all may enjoy the device however I could probably name a couple of things that just make me dislike the device, mainly that Genius button.
Continue to tell me I should return my phone etc etc, however if it is not rootable more reason for me to return the thing and get another device.
I don't know if there is a Nexus 2, I don't know if it will be rootable, but as of now if it is real, I might get it.
I have a vibrant, and if Samsung is making the Nexus 2....I wouldn't dream of owning it. Horrible support and empty promises. Can anyone say Behold 2?

dude why do u need it to be rooted anyways? this phone is badass with out rooting it, u cant overclock it yet so for me there is no point until they first off can get it rooted and 2 if they can overclock it like the g2 and vibrant. but i can wait im sure they will figure it out. come on now they managed to get the hd2 running android 2.2 on a phone that doesnt even have android period, so im sure they will figure it out. i would rather them take there time then rush it and mess something up.

First and foremost, if you have other reasons for ditching the new mytouch, voice them. You can't just post a new thread demanding root OR ELSE. It makes you look like a major d-bag. However, I do agree with you. It's frustrating that it can't be rooted just yet, and there a bunch of other things I don't like, mainly the genius button, but I'm not going to get rid of it for that reason. That's retarded. You can't buy an unreleased phone and expect it to be rooted immediately. Devs put countless hours into making these things possible, and the rudest thing you can do is be an ungrateful snot by giving the developer community an ultimatum. We, as a community, DO NOT CARE which phone you have. If you want to get rid of it, go for it. One less whiner.
As far as root access is concerned, I'm fairly confident that the g2 and mytouch are close enough in hardware and mechanism that with one, will come the other. And as of this writing, the g2 has a bigger following. (and more patient people)
For me, root means removing bloatware, and cleaning up the stock rom. It looks good enough as is, and for now, I don't see much reason to change it. I'll do some experimenting with visual changes in the framework, but that'll probably be the extent of it. Did anybody else here miss the HTC dialer? I sure did!!!(though I'm not totally sure I like the way this espresso one works...)
Edit: if google chooses samsung as their odm for a follow-up nexus device then they're morons. Touchwiz sucks, samsung support sucks, samsung bugfixes suck, hardware planning sucks.
Reasoning: Touchwiz is annoying and the interface lacks a professional appearance...needs less form, more function! - Samsung is useless if you have a problem. USELESS. Kies..oden??? Really? - Everybody take a quick second and look up a picture of the galaxy s(at least the t-mobile version). Do you see a status led? No, you don't. Why? There isn't one. At all. You need to turn your phone on to see if there is an email, or a text, or a missed call. How about the epic4G...samsung made a desktop dock. Sweet right? No. Place the phone in it and it's resting on the volume keys. WTF? I'm sure an led wouldn't have killed samsung in production costs, and designing a dock that presses keys is a huge oversight, and should have been noticed by quality control immediately. It's an easy fix. I can't stand behind a company that puts out such half-finished products. Samsung: please complete the development process before you release your products to consumers. I'd rather wait an extra month and have something fully functional.
Summary: I've had a galaxy S and an epic 4g. Both of them had glaring issues, all of which were swept under the rug by samsung. Generally by a "updates and bugfixes are coming soon" type of response. Personally, that's just a terrible thing to do to consumers. Nothing brings repeat business more than a product that 'just works' right out of the box.
Sorry this was so long-winded...I'm tired and not thinking straight
sprint has finally pissed me off to the point im REALLY looking to jump ship . and i get a really good deal on 4 phones and would save about 60 a month over what im paying atm with sprint .
data cap is not a problem since im on wifi mostly
so im asking how easy is the phone to root ? hows the rom's and CM7 ?
thanks for any advice
Love the Inspire(of course people here are biased though) the roms are definitely pretty good, CM7 has been my main one forever, it runs great, gets great battery, and is really just good quality in general. But with all the good stuff i have to say about the phone, I HATE AT&T with a passion after all of my experiences with them since I got this phone. The rooting process is easy, I highly recommend the phone, but AT&T is horrible and I would never recommend them to anyone. EVER.

thanks for the info
I love the phone. Its super fast, once rooted. I can't really tell you how easy it is to root as I didn't use the hack kit. Only bubby's and If the phone is new it'll have the gingerbread update and you'll have to use the hack kit. I read its about the same. Plan alot of reading and then half hour to root.
I been with ATT for about 7 years. The dude above most have some wierd personal issues cause in 7 years I have had to talk to ATT maybe 3 times and when I did I got exactly what i wanted. Last time I got a free Iphone 4.... I find them to be a good company. My Only issue is sometimes text messages take 20 minutes to arrive......By the time I or the wife get them I am standing next to her. Lol but even that doesn't happen all the time.

Same here. I've been with ATT going on 7 years and have had no problems. When I've had to call cs I haven't had any issues. As for the Inspire its great. It was my first android and was able to root it my first try with bubbys method. I'm currently on the virtuous unity beta even though the final build is out cause its that smooth.

The other guys are probably right, AT&T isn't as bad as I make them sound, I've just grown to hate them after countless hours on the phone with them. Granted most of my problems have actually been with my TV/internet services, although I did have a few issues with updates when I got the Inspire but I think they have that sorted out now. I'm mostly just bitter about my "4g" being slower than the 3g my sister gets on her Incredible and how horrible Uverse has been for me.
Switch to Inspire you'll love it.
I previously owned the iPhone 3GS, and one day i saw this phone at best buy for free and said screw it ill switch. I switched, and ill NEVER go back to Apple, or any other brand of phones other then HTC. Unless Apple drops their dumb restricts and creates something REALLY REALLY amazing.
you'll love this phone.
I love mine. Got it off eBay for cheap used, has a dark spot behind the LCD but doesn't affect anything. But long story short I love it. Master has a mt4g and have to say if I where to pick the inspire would come in first hands down . You cant really go wrong for the price it's going at att, you have a 8mp camera, duel flash, enough ram on board and about 1gig memory. CM7 is awesome on it, same goes for the Miui roms and if you like sense unlike me you'll enjoy the great selection of sense roms

My g/f got me a Motorola Photon and I rooted getting it ready for when more development comes as way of roms. She had 2.2 on hers and I asked when she updated it and she said she didn't. She got her phone last December so she had to update it to 2.3.3 right?
Anyways I heard sprint can rollback to 2.2 but they usually won't because they don't want people going back so they can root their phones.
I have a friend at Radioshack, do authorized retailers have the ability to rollback to 2.2?

I Highly doubt ANYONE will get a perm root for 2.3.3 for sometime.... its already been out what a couple of weeks now. so im updating my phone because this gingerbread update is bugged like crazy... constant crashes after leaving every app. not receiving any calls or txts half the time, and WIFI is broken.

i know. but im going INSANE!!!! after ever damn app i close the white screen with the green HTC comes up for like 1 min. then the loading of the home screen. i see the damn thing at least 200 times a day. im already looking towards a new phone all together... dealing with that for a few weeks gets irritating extremely fast.
It is really annoying. I am just going to wait for root, put CM7 on it, and give it to my Mom or something...
I hate to see the root issue keep getting sugar coated by people that already have root, including me. Just to be brutally honest, its been 2 and a half months since the Shift was updated and I really haven't seen much evidence of any one working on root. I do remember one tweet from about month ago mentioning the Shift but beyond that its been pretty quiet. I'm not saying its never going to happen, and for all I know someone is working diligently behind the scenes, all I'm saying is don't get too high of hopes that its going to happen soon..... Hopefully I'm wrong though.
If people were paying for this I would see more of a reason for people to ask all the time. I know I am new to these forums but even I get annoyed with it. I want my Shift rooted just as much as the next guy. It's free, get over it.

Im sure people would pay for it. People have offered to donate phones and such plus once a device is rooted developers can create root only apps.
Most of the devs do it for the challenge tho... Not everything is about money. That said im sure anyone that came out with a perm root would get donations for doing so.

Hey guys,
I'm gonna need to send my phone in for an exchange, and after some searching I saw that there is no thread for S-ON, or a return to stock program.
If there is and I didn't find it my apologies, if not...any ideas?
If you want to make sure they don't see its in working order or S-Off
Download maybe a MT4G (Not slide!) Radio or stock ROM and rename it whatever the bootloader for this device requires the name to be in order for itto flash a zip and just brick your phone haha.
Did you check the s-off thread tho? I thought it says how to get back to stock s-on

Theyl accept it because here's what happens:
1) You call, they process a waranty exchange.
2) They contact HTC and HTC sends u a new phone.
3) You send your "defective" device back to t-mobile upon receiving your new device.
4) As soon as they get it, they ship it right on over to HTC.
They never look at it.
Btw even if ur not talking about an insurrance claim, they won't look at it I'm sure

I once tried to brick an htc phone. 7 or 8 rom flashing attempts, still powered on and had adb. Several incorrect radios, still, powered on. Microwaved until flames came out several times. Wound up flashing back to stock, rooted. Worked, albeit the bottom quarter inch of touchscreen was dead. Stunk for a few days. Made me happy with the build quality for sure. The previous iterations of the mytouch line were in fact quite good. Wish my new keyboard didn't bubble and warp, and the screen could be glass. And aftermarket batteries being better than stock??? Really? All that aside, I still love this phone. Won't be testing its brick-ability...

Hey BlackKnight,
Did you by chance also get your MT4GS as a replacement for your G2? I noticed your sig shows a G2 as backup. Lol. I was just curious cause I want to keep my G2 as well but I think T-Mobile is gonna expect me to send it back. However, when they replaced my Optimus T for my G2 they did let me keep that phone. I guess I will see later today when my MyTouch arrives.

Picked it up during a smartphone sale back in September. If my G1 hadn't died on me I'd still be using that.
So guys, I just got my MT4GS and I am wondering if I should root it right away, plenty of experience doing so but I see that it can't be put to S-On after you flip the switch. (Lame) Anywho, I would love to have the fall back ability to send this back if something goes wrong with it... If I put it to S-Off, will I be able to send it back? Are you SURE T-Mobile won't throw a fit if it's stock, unrooted, s-off?

Well, my wife and I got the Captivate at the same time about a year ago. She is still hanging on to her captivate, even with the problems she's having with it and still on 2.1. I picked up a lightly used Inspire a few Weeks ago to have something new to play with and she said she was still content with her captivate. She won't let me root it, factory reset it, nothing except making sure it's plugged in every night. So, if your wives let you play with their phones, consider yourself lucky.
Yeah, my wife lets me play with hers.

I rooted my wife's Inspire to get rid of the AT&T and HTC bloat.
It increased the battery life and runs a bit smoother.
It is still on the stock AT&T ROM (she likes sense).
She just uses the phone. She asks me every now and then if I want it to check for updates, etc.
I will say that the Inspire has been very steady, no problems with it at all. She got it to replace a Captivate.
Pretty sure my wife would have a conniption fit if I tried to do anything to her phone! She has seen what I do to our computer with all of the different Linux distro's and I don't think she would want me to do that to her phone!
Rooted her phone, spent a lot of time tweaking it, pissed her off, then she was happy after she seen all the goodies.
Then about a day after she got settled in with it, she came home and whipped out a brand new SII (she ttold me she didn't want to use her upgrade because she loved her atrix too much). I'm sorta jealous, that was her goal lol. Oh and she wont let me touch it.

Rooted
I rooted my wife's...
I also work on her phone!!
Ha my wife's got an iPhone that she won't let me touch. And I can't get her interested in Android...something must be wrong with her Any way I can trade? Lol
yea my gf says she doesnt want a smartphone or anything like it...but damn is she always using mine to play games or use other apps or the web browser.
since my job did lay offs i may not get a new phone for a little while, but her upgrade will be waiting for me when im ready
