I'm in this same boat and completely stuck.

I've got 89.0005 and stock 2.3.4

I can get temp root just fine and push all the needed files to the phone and can run the chmod commands. I can push the PD15IMg.zip file to the SD card.

I can reboot into bootloader and and it spins up PD15IMG.zip and starts doing it's thing for about 3-4 minutes...little blue bar on the side loading it, then a little gold bar checking it, all exactly like what happened when I rooted and downgraded the previous MT4G I had.

Then the phone starts up exactly as I left it before. Nothing is changed. I'm still running Android 2.3.4. No settings have been altered. Nothing.

The only thing that's glitchy during the temp root process is that the md5sum command doesn't work when you tell it to return the md5sum on PD15IMG.zip. It gives me the error md5sum: md5sum not found

I have been at this for 8 hours now. My brain is fried. I have searched every webpage I can find and can't find a solution.

The only thing that makes any sense to me (I didn't say it made actual sense...just sense to me! haha!) is that the PD15IMG.zip file is wonky, which is why it won't return an md5sum result. Does that make any sense or am I completely bonkers?

And no, it actually never occurred to me to re download Pd15IMG in the event the file is corrupted. Actually that just occurred to me when I typed up this post. I'll see if that fixes it. In the mean time if there's another tip here I'm missing, by all means give a shout out.

Download Astro File Manager. Long press the zip file, details. Any properly formed zip file should show an MD5 sum in that window. If it doesn't match, re-download or get it from a different source.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
Got a different MD5sum when doing your method.

Here's a fun catch. The file size on the computer is 327263801 bytes

The transfer was only 327263743 bytes

So there's 58 bytes missing

This happens every time I do the transfer. Is there a normal reason for that?

I got the file from a different source. I transfered it using the Ubuntu interface rather than the terminal and the file on the phone ends up being the exact same size as the file on the computer.

Edit: Now it appears to be working......I'm in the middle of flashing the PD15IMG file now and it's doing a lot more this time than it did before.

Edit 2: Yup. That worked. I've got 2.2.1 now. That's REALLY weird. Why didn't the adb push command send the entire file? Oh well who cares? It works now. But I'll leave this up here in case someone else hits that snag.

Is there is newer simplier method than this yet??

I just got my replacement MT4G last week and never really had chance to review the rooting process again.

It's the night before Thanksgiving. Now, I have free 4 day-weekend to check if I can root my MT4G. Then I found out about this 2.3.4 version issue which what my phone is. My previous MT4G was rooted then with 2.2.1.

Is there a better way yet for rooting MT4G with visionary mod? I had a lil' hard time rooting the last time and now, I guess I have to re-learn some of the new tricks of the trade again. >;/

If you don't already have adb use this easy guide to setup:

http://teamroyal.net/5minadb.html

Tip: If you use this method to install adb, whenever the guide says to place a file in the "platform-tools" directory, place it in the "adb" directory on your hard drive. That should be the only change.

I did this yesterday afternoon. It works.

If you run into issues copy/pasting lines into your command prompt, try dragging the mouse pointer waaay out to the right. The browsers i was using didn't display correctly, but allowed me to copy even the parts that were cut off from my view.

Good luck!

Rooted my mt4g !!

Upgraded from 2.2 to 2.3.4 from OTA and found out I was no longer rooted. Searched the web and found this site along with info for downgrading from 2.3.4 to 2.2 to use visionary for rooting. Followed the guide to a T (even the part about hanging during the silver htc) Got it to work the first try!!! Thank you guys

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
That was probably overkill. If you're S-OFF via gfree and then lose root to an update, read the "NOOBS" pinned thread that gives you a custom PD15IMG.zip which restores custom recovery and nothing else. From there you can install a super user zip. There's no reason to remain on an old firmware unless you just really love being out of date ;)

I was ok with unrooted, but i cant stand having a widget for a battery that eats more battery using it!.. I want the batter meter on the status bar. ALthough, I was using Go Locker/Launchers to change my homes screens. It's just not enough -- I also missed overclocking. SOOOOO Now, I got some time -- I'm gon attemp to do this method.

Stressed Glacier

OK, first off total nube here, not sure if I need to worry about this but any advice is good.

I unlocked my phone bootloader at HTC dev and now not only do I not have the unlocked icon on the bootloader screen, I cannot rewrite the bootloader.

I lost root somehow and tried to regain with conventional methods...gfree, fre3vo, VISIONary, none of those worked. What did was a modified version of tacoroot, then reloading a recovery, and loading a custom rom from there.

Frustration came in when the first rom I installed, a virtuous rom, came back up on stock 2.3.4. I had to re-root, re install the recovery, then I tried coredroid. Success. It booted up on coredroid then I was able to reload the Virtuous rom.

I think that ANY rom, no matter what the version, will show as 2.3.4 with the bootloader used by the unlock ticket.

By the way......Coredroid installs a recovery on its own, the rom is good but a little buggy on the mt4g. I had problems if the screen timed out, it took a bit of time before I could reopen it. Still worth a try though.

All the Virtuous Roms I have tried have been trouble free and smooth. Extremely nice work.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You were answered multiple times in multiple threads:

You can't flash kernel from recovery, when using unlocked bootloader. You have to flash it from bootloader, using fastboot.

So, no matter what ROM you flash, the kernel stays the same until you flash it manually. It's not that "the ROM will be shown as version 2.3.4", it's your kernel not being flashed by recovery.

This is the price of using the official unlock tool.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] furydude39:
Not sure, but I think since I have s-off still I am able to flash from recovery. Got lucky.

Hello everyone!

I am having the hardest time trying to get my Mini Bluetooth keyboard to connect to my Revo.. It pairs, but doesnt connect.

I think I have tried every single free bluetooth app on the android market and nothing has worked.

I read in a few forums that a cyanogenmod might help. But I know that the cyanogenmod 7 is still being developed.

PS: My Revo is rooted.

Any other ideas that might work?

Thanks!!

Of course, apps will spend battery too, but i think it is just normal usage for me.

After looking around for a while, and not finding anything, I decided to make my own car mount for my transformer. It came out much better than I expected. I will probably remake it a little nicer at some point, but it works very well as it is.

It does block the A/C and volume knob on the radio, but they can be effortlessly reached without moving the tablet from the top and bottom. For audio, I have a bluetooth receiver in my deck, as well as the ability to plug in an 1/8th inch jack as well.

I haven't worked out how I am going to charge it yet, but with 8.5 hours of life, I haven't had a great need for a charger yet.

The material is 1/8 x 1/2 aluminum bar and stainless countersunk screws. Material cost was about $15 from the local hardware store.

The first two pictures are the prototype.

So I just got my Bionic today, and I tried to play some music on it.
