MyTouch 4G Please read - Froyo VS IceCream Sunday

Hi XDA Armies,
I've recently purchased a mytouch 4G and i've been told to root my phone. I have no idea what the heck this means and I have know idea which software to choose as far as for rooting.
All that froyo yofro does not make any sense to me at all. Any mytouch 4G user other could tell me which software you are using right now as far as rooting your phone goes?
What are the advantages of rooting your phone?

[Q] Unlocked Sensation wasnt too Sensational

Im fairly new to the phone game but i know a little bit. I traded my inspire to a Sensation, unlocked it myself. Everything worked finr except my Data i couldnt use the internet in any way. I called 611 (atts customer serv) and they said the connection was rejected. Luckily i was able to convince the guy i got it from to trade me back and give me the extra money i gave him for the trade. Was i just being a dumbass not knowing what to do or is this an issue. On the phone i went into the carrier and APN and it all seemed fine... Just curious because i would still like that phone but of course want my data connection Thanks
Also someone told me that unlocking/flashing phones will drop them down 2 data speeds (4G-2G/EDGE) Is this true?

Stop listening to ignorant people.
As for the problem you encountered, I believe you got the wrong Sensation. You need the Z710a for AT&T.

lianw is correct. Many of us are happily using the z710a on at&t.

Same guy as Smolt here for some reason it wouldnt let me log back in and after an hour of screwing with it and password retievals..... Well here i am... How do you tell the difference between the 2 Sensations? Did you have to call611 and give them the imei # to use data?
Ive got a post under my newly given moniker, if you find the time check it out. Any help is greatly appreciated and always thanked

So you traded the Sensation back to your original phone, so you no longer have a Sensation, and you still want to know why you were having problems?
People don't waste your time trying to figure out his issue, he doesn't have the phone anymore to try and fix it.

Because not only are people wasting their time on answering your question, but you are also cluttering the forum...who knows, you may never get a sensation again or have the issue if you get the correct sensation and this thread them becomes trash.

unless the sensation supports the at&t 4g or 3g bands, you're limited to edge. that's what happened to me when i was using the inspire on t-mobile.

I think only bell or Virgin(from Canada) Sensation have 850 frequency, it is working fine on Rogers with 3g or HSPA after unlock(which i think it should work on at&t as they are using the same band). I hope this could help u a bit. T-mobile sensation doesn't work on at&t because it doesn't support 850.

I'm using the bell sensation z710a and get ATT 3g speeds with no issues.

No. This part is hardware related. Well I guess you could rip apart a T-Mobile phone, find the antenna, open the inspire and replace the one in it and them reprogram the radio. Not sure it would work but that's about the only way.

I not sure what frecuenquies Verizon works with, but there's no chance to change that even with rooting or flashing a new radio....

I figured as much since Verizon is CDMA and ATT is GSM but i wasnt sure if there might just be some sooper sekret way to do it that i wasnt aware of

The HTC Thunderbolt is the closest resembling phone Verizon has to the Inspire.

Yeah but she already has the Incredible 2 and we cant afford to just buy a 500dollar phone just wondered if there was a way to unlock the Inspire to work on Verizon and her account if there isnt its cool ill just have to listen to her *****in about her Incredible then not listen to what i tell her to do on how to fix her problems LOL

Sprint Nexus S 4g on Boost Mobile - Questions

I flashed my NS4G to Boost... it was a long and agonizing road, but I think i finally got it working correctly.
my phone is currently 100% stock with gingerbread 2.3.7
since this was such a stressful flash, i'm kind of worried about "not fixing what's not broken"...
however, i'd love to re-root it and flash a custom ROM. Will doing this mess up any of the modifications i had to do to get calls, text, and data to work?
(they were all done in QPST)
I'm not going to do it until i have confirmation... so let me know and ease my mind!
thanks
-Randy

i also have a nexus 4g on boost. i've just about had every kernal and rom on this board for it (both gingerbread and ICS)
i hope that helps.

so a standard rom flash will retain all boost settings?

yes.
keep in mind mms fix only works on gingerbread as far as i know.
the APN can't be changed on ICS roms.

If you use voice dialer and say "open APNs", it will let you edit the apn. Does this not work to get mms working?

what you are talking about can not be talked about as it is illegal to change the esn and meid all all other device identifiers that are registered to the fcc. Each phone has a unique id to it that is represented to the fcc. I have also been talking with Boost employess and area managers and boost is getting ready to kick off the users who have "flashed" phones on Boost that do not belong on boost. This is going to be done as Boost can still tell what type of phone you have other then the esn / meid as the device still sends out certain other device ids to the network when you use certain programs. Also by trying to send updates to your phone sprint can request the system information from your phone that can tell them the actual make and model and firmware and all that you are running. And you thought carrier iq was bad...
if you wait a few months or so the evo 3d will be on sprints virgin mobile with ics included and sense 3.6...
Boost mobile will be getting the HTC Evo design 4g soon as well...
i myself dont understand why boost is going 4g when sprint is going lte... but another stupid move by sprint.

does anyone have a link to a how to flash my nexus s 4g to boost? I'd really like to do this. cant afford sprint anymore...
