Anyone got the my touch 4g from tmobile? Any hacks for it yet? Or any way to root it?
I have a rooted mytouch 4g. The process for rooting was difficult and took me and my friend hours to get it to work finally. http://forum.androidcentral.com/mytouch-4g-rooting-roms-hacks/56011-guide-how-root-your-mytouch-4g.html and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996 These are the two vary good guilds to rooting a mytouch 4g. I use cyanogenmod as my ROM and it works wonders.
It's been out for a long while now. Why dont you go check up on the dev sections? Yes, it's been rootable for a while now.
Thanks everyone for your responses got it rooted woot woot!!

Anyone a sensation owner here who came from the G2X? Just wondering thoughts and opinions... I'm currently a G2X owner and want to switch back to a HTC device. From here on out I will probably own HTC ... as long as their drivers are open source they will have the most support from the community it would seem...
It's either the sensation or a 4g slide....
What do you think?
Sensation all the way
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
depends on what u like. sensation and mt4G slide are the same specs. their like brothers. same everything. just the looks and keyboard are differences. and mytouch 4g has better camera by a little.
I switched from the g2x and the sensation is way better!!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
myTouch 4G Slide if you need an amazing camera and a keyboard. If not, the Sensation all the way.
awesome, thanks guys. sounds great! Now I just have to sell this g2x!
I had the G2x and now have the Sensation. Its a way better phone by 125%. Only thing, currently, that's a real let down is that an AOSP build is still not available. Sucks because I was a huge MIUI user and fan.

Has there been many bricked phones recorded, like bad chips or is it random?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium
Nope. I havent heard of one brick.
Sent from my Senseless Doubleshot using xda premium
Me either - we've been fortunate.
I was in a verizon store the other day looking at upgrading my phone because I broke the screen, and it happened to be right after i'd reflashed to stock to test something.
I was talking to a rep about rooting and stuff, and went to show him how to remap a hardware key to something else. Realized I wasn't rooted, but had the superuser update on my sdcard. I just reflashed it and continued with what I was trying to show him.
Hah, he was like "wow, that easy, huh? it took you like 20 seconds...aren't you worried about bricking your phone?"
I explained how you can only really brick it when writing a radio file, which I wasn't doing, and that we had zero reports of bricks thus far - and then proceeded to knock on wood and hope that we continue to be so fortunate.
undeadk9 and blue6ix, thanks for your replies .
No problem, we're here to help.
Just to clarify, I broke my other phone, not my beloved doubleshot.
So are the rooting methods here novice level? By the looks of them they require a lot of concentration.

Its not a z4 root. But its easy enough.
It's really hard to brick our phone. Thanks to good support on our forums and good directions.
I havent heard of one software error that resulted in a total loss for our phone.
Beautiful, should I follow instructions from an xda thread or head straight to the site. And thanks for all the help. It is really appreciated. Again, undeadk9 and droidmoder. Edit- went to the site and an xda thread is definitely what I need, in the mtg4 slide compendium thread there is like 3 or 4, any suggestions as to the friendliest one or are they all comparable in ease? Edit- not to get ahead of myself, is the modaco recovery. More stable than clockworkmod?

I use sense on crack. I'm too spolied wih. Sense and gb. Cm7 senseless and virtrious are all aosp. I ve used senseless but as I said to spoiled with some stock features that aosp does not have or is way different. Aosps are similar minus the devs themeing and added features.
All the roms are easy to install just follow directions. Cm7 uses the new clockwork while the other ones use the older version (modaco).
They all have great support devs are helpful. Undeadk9 is the author of sense on crack and senseless. He's super helpful.

Undeadk9 has been real cool about my question and the direct answer, so the virtuous rom isn't sense? Will the roms be able to flash with clockworkmod soon? That you know of?

I think virtrous is senseless I haven't used it yet so maybe another member can chime in.
Its easy to flash a new image. The compendium has directions for both images.
Ask undead I'm sure he's going to figure out a way for his roms to work with the new cwm.

Sure! The one I use is identical to stock. It has all the functions of stock sense minus the bloatware and junk files. Tv out visual voicemail camera etc.
I prefer this myself. I got so used to the tv out feature.

Link in the compendium explains it. In short you can use a rca 3.5mm 3 prong (yellow red white) to mirror your image on your phone to the tv. It has ps2 graphics and is decent for watching netflix or playing games

Fwiw the iPod vid cable as well as the creative zen vision m cables work in case you have one sitting around and want to check it out.
AS for the bricks i'm not worried about it.. Based on my brief research these aren't like the glaciers (mt4g) where it's a lottery as to if you'll end up with one that has the crappy Sharp lcd and bad emmc or get lucky with a Sony lcd and good emmc. I went through 3 of them before finally ending up with one that had the good screen and emmc but even that over had a hardware issue a the camera wouldn't work...... Hence why i'm on the mt4gs now oddly the guys there painted a bad picture of this slide when I mentioned I'd be switching to this phone which I can say was completely obviously based on no real knowledge or having experienced this phone. and sorry to say a lot of dev support for a dated device does not make for a better phone although it does make it more pleasurable to have....which some will try to make one think otherwise.........

You could of read the compendium before you bought it .
Myself I have to have a hardware keyboard coming from a g1. I liked the mt4g but wanted a keyboard. I saw the slide was announced to be released in a few months. So I waited. When it came out I was tempted by the g2x. But the camera keyboard and similar specs sold me the slide.
Best implusive/informed purchase I've made yet. I use this phone more than my laptop. Its fast as heck, has an awsome camera and I can watch netflix or game on my tv.
I love this phone! Lol

SK4G is unsupported both by devs and Samsung. Aren't you guys still stuck with Froyo or something? Either way even if you get GB you'll never see anything past GB unless you get CM9, which is highly unlikely.
MT4G has awesome Sense ROM's, a solid MIUI ROM, and a very stable CM7 ROM with CM9 looking within weeks.

What he said
I actually traded my sk4g for a Mytouch and its completely with it. Yes a keyboard its nice but there's no development, and the Mytouch has a bigger screen and typing/swyping is a lot easier that on the sidekick screen.

Getting a Mytouch 4G for a Sidekick 4G is like getting an Audi for Kia (I don't specifically have anything against Kia, but I doubt anyone will argue that a Kia is a better car than an Audi). Don't ask questions. TRADE! Trade and run before your friend realizes their mistake.
I played with a Sidekick 4G for a few minutes and it was a joke. Minus a physical keyboard a Mytouch 4G is better in every way.

They'll release it if they can get it working, but Sense is mostly a proprietary skin and HTC won't release the code. That, lag, and bloatware are why I prefer AOSP/AOKP.

Look in the Dev forum for the MT4GS, you will see a few ROMs already available that have Sense4.x. I've run all of them, and while they look amazing and have surprisingly good performance (especially the Sense 4.1 versions), they do have some little issues that keep me from using them as a "daily driver". For my use, I have found the Sense 3.6 ROM based on the HTC Sensation XE 3.33 code that includes Sense 3.6 to be the most stable and completely functional. But, that's just in my use, your experience and requirements may be different.
I prefer a Sense ROM simply because I love the extra features and "look & feel" that Sense imparts on Android. I've compared plain Android to Sense as akin to a child's coloring book to a National Geographic magazine.
The only sense roms are 3.5-4.0 and I was asking about 4+ if there is a rom can u give me a link
