OK, i finally got it, apparently the original image that downloaded was corrupted, so i deleted it from the sd card's clockworkmod folder and redownloaded. It workes the 1st time! Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] fh47qu:
Correct no rage steps needed at all. Followed the guide to get s-off after I forced the ota. Once I had s-off I used visionary r12 to perm root. Temp root first, then perm root. Rebooted, did battery pulls turned device on and off and root stick the entire time. Haven't had any problems at all. Working on a rom for everyone now. :)

This is awesome! Thanks a lot for the guide it worked perfectly from stock :)

Help please.

Having some issues with this. So far I've downloaded PD15IMG.zip, used recovery to install the files properly, came back and installed clockwork rom and flashed the recovery properly, tried to update the update.zip and got locked at the "mytouch 4g" screen. When I rebooted I tried again and couldn't due to lack of root, so I continued the process to get the second root. Now I'm rooted, with S-off and trying to update that update.zip to get the full 2.2.1 and I'm running into the same problem. I select it, tell clockwork that I want to backup and do a wipe, click ok to reboot into recovery... then the phone locks into the MyTouch 4g screen every time. I have to pull the battery to get back to the main screen.

Not sure what to do at this point.

Quick edit: if I boot into the bootloader and select recovery, I'm still greeted with the myTouch 4g loading screen and locks there forever, so It's not just a problem with the rom manager app.

Secondary Edit: Ok, it seems that the problem was the actual recovery image it downloaded. I deleted it from the SD card and redownloaded... which gave me an entirely different issue. So I found it online and copied to the SD card manually. Recovery booted just fine. I'm installing the update.zip now.

Unrelated note: can someone please remove the five minute posting delay for me? Please?

Just got my MT4G last night and the same exact thing happened to me. Though your inter-mixing bootloader mode with recovery mode in your description I can figure out what you are doing. I had a very similar issue with my phone, though mine was rooted but I could not get into recovery mode (aka clockworkmod). My guess is that after applying PD15IMG.zip your radio goes to crap, becuase of this when ROM Manager tries to download ClockWorkMod it is actually corrupted due to the bad radio. The problem is I don't know how to make ROM Manager re-do the installation of CW once it thinks it's installed.

I was able to reinstall ClockWork with these steps to repair my recovery mode.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9393655&postcount=115

At that point I was able to boot into recovery and apply the OTA update to fix the radio signal and WiFi. I was pretty stressed out of a couple of hours after breaking my phone only hours old. Thank GOD for this forum and it's members!!!

Successfully got S-OFF with PRE-OTA phone

I notice that all can do preparation things first:

- install visionary

- install clockworkmod and try to install recovery (i know that it doesn't install, but it downloaded first and saved in download-folder) - i spent some money cause downloaded it via mobile internet instead wifi, cause i lost wifi after updating with PD15IMG.zip

- unpack root.rar from guide http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9115200&postcount=1 to sdcard

- download and copy PD15IMG.zip, update.zip (from first post) to root-folder on sdcard

And after that - click a few keys to get freedom)

1. reboot bootloader and flash PD15IMG.zip

2. reboot to phone, check "About phone/Software information/Kernel version"

It must be 2.6.32.21-g899d047

3. run visionary, get temproot, get permroot

4. run /sdcard/root.sh (via adb or terminal as explained in guide). The phone going to reboot.

5. After step 4, run clockwork and install recovery (if something going wrong - check in fastboot-mode that hboot got S-OFF)

6. Run into recovery and flash update.zip

7. Enjoy)

p.s. All things at one place: http://www.4shared.com/file/dkSI3iQh/Glacier_freedom.html

Archive contain:

- root.rar

- PD15IMG.zip

- update.zip

- ClockworkMod

- VISIONary

p.p.s. I even uploaded recovery image(If someone cann't download it from phone)))

It must be in /sdcard/clockworkmod/download/koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries

[myTouch 4G Android Development] tsuujin:
Yeah, I was pretty pissed that I hadn't had my phone for more than four hours before it was non-operative. I'm just glad I thought to check the recovery file before too much time elapsed.

I think you're right: even on GSM only the radio is highly unstable, and corrupting the download. It's pretty easy to find the files and transfer with USB though, fortunately.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dustrho:
I'm on my third MT4G (long story) and haven't gotten the OTA update yet (it's been almost 48 hours). I'm thinking about giving this guide a shot on my phone, but I'm always a bit more nervous about flashing things in the bootloader versus flashing ROMs. I'm running software number 1.14.531.1, so does that mean I should be able to go through the following steps without any issues?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] slhpss:
yes... and if you would like ahead of time you can download the wifi module for the kernel and do an insmod of it after the initial flash and it will fix the wifi
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Strapt:
ok im a little confused here ... at step 3 and 4 ... when i get to step 3 when it says can now follow the perma root guide .. do i have to do this before i install the clockwork and the OTA?

or do i install clockwork and then the OTA to get 2.2.1 and then be able to root it?

if i root if first and then apply the update wouldnt that unroot my phone?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] pack:
yeah after you flashed your update (PD15IMG.zip) your gonna just follow the s-off guide... at the end of that itll tell you to reboot your phone to check for s-off... once you done that then you can download those apps because they need root to work either way...

edit: just noticed no one answered your post from yesterday (which sucks when your in the middle of rooting and get stuck) if you need any help you can hit me up on aim... ill be around for a while
[myTouch 4G Android Development] inkling:
Success but bootloader still looking for PD15IMG.zip

I had success with forcing the update as decribed in the OP.

Maybe it's nothing to worry about, but if I boot into the bootloader, I get a message that it can't find PD15IMG.zip, PD15IMG.nbh, PD15DIAG.zip, and PD15DIAG.nbh.

Is there something I can do to sort that out?

Phone seems to work and I have root, S=off, Android 2.2.1, kernel 2.6.32.21-g899d047

thanks for any advice
[myTouch 4G Android Development] slhpss:
it always does that... it's searching to see if an image is available to push and that is the file name it searches for... trust me it did that before you forced and rooted (that's why the file is named PD15IMG.zip btw)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] inkling:
Glad to hear! Thanks for clearing that up!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xxdrcft:
Thank you very much! This is the only working tutorial out there.

Unfortunately, for people not familiar with the process (like myself) the wording of it is very confusing at times. I happened to write out part of it for someone else in what I think is clear simple language, including a lot of details that aren't in the original. There is nothing in here that isn't in the first post, I just think it's a little easier to follow for newbies. So, in the hopes that it might help someone, here's my annotated version:

PART 1: FORCING THE UPDATE

1. If it does not show that your Android version is 2.2.1 then you have to load 2.2.1 manually. Download this file, saving it as PD15IMG.zip to the sdcard. It has to be in the root folder. Then turn off the phone, remove the battery for a moment, replace it, and boot into the bootloader mode by holding both up and down volume buttons while pressing the power button. The bootloader should then give you an option to flash the PD15IMG.zip file. After you do that it will look like there has been no update, and wifi and data will stop working. That's normal. Dial *#*#info#*#*, go to phone settings, and set it to GSM only to get data working so you can download "ROM Manager" from the market.

2. Then, follow this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834225.

If you are having trouble getting your device to show up in ADB:

1) Make sure you have enabled "usb debugging" on your phone by going to menu -> applications -> enable usb debugging.

2) You may need special USB or ADB drivers for your device. On some devices, these drivers come in an installable file on the sdcard included with the phone.

3) If neither of those solve the problem, check for an updated version of ADB (and post a link to the wiki if you are feeling generous).

3. Download Rom Manager (aka "Clockwork Mod"), and The OTA. Open Clockwork Mod and use it to install Clockwork Recovery. If the Clockwork Recovery installation fails, keep trying until it succeeds.

PART 2: RE-ROOTING​

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Madblaster6:
Okay, my head is about to POP. I'm coming from an unlocked iphone4 so this is all new to me. I do also have an android hd2.

I downloaded PD15IMG.zip and installed it on the stock 2.2 firmware

my wifi stopped working.

then I installed terminal, and "com.modaco.visionaryplus.r14.apk" (visionary14)

Using visionary14 I was able to get a perm root and used terminal to turn off s.

s is off i checked.

then I downloaded Clockwork Mod, and The OTA.

i got clockwork to work. I can open the recovery boot.

But when I put the update.zip in the root of my sd and click update in clockwork it takes me to the clockwork boot. even the clockwork boot it runs the update.zip and some files quickly run though then nothing happens.

Then I boot the OS again and i'm still on 2.2 and mywifi won't work. AAAH help
[myTouch 4G Android Development] slhpss:
sounds like the update didn't actually load... try redownloading it and let me know

[myTouch 4G Android Development] slhpss:
are you typing su after you login with the phone on? in recovery you're automatically root, but that's not the case when the OS is running.

If the rom has root built in then no... if it doesn't then probably yes...

then try it... I don't use root explorer, but I'm assuming it's not setting system r/w properly
[myTouch 4G Android Development] waveznyc1:
plz help

First: Forcing the Update

1. download this file save this as PD15IMG.zip

* This is not the same file as in the downgrading instructions!

2. reboot into bootloader and flash this update

* for me Wi-Fi stopped working at this point and my 3g/4g was acting funky

3. This is going to appear as if no updates were made when you reboot, but you will now be able to follow the root instructions in this thread perma root guide to get S-OFF

4. download Clockwork Mod, and The OTA

5. install the clockwork recovery (to do this because my 3g/4g was acting up I dialed *#*#INFO#*#* and in the phone info settings I set it to GSM only) then flash the update and you will have 2.2.1 and full working WIFI... also at this point if you did set it to GSM Only go back in and change it back to WCDMA preferred

I have S-OFF when i am at step 5 and use clockwork to go into recovery and select apply update.zip. i get the error "invalid operation"... plz help i have no wifi and i am completely stuck
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Ghost117:
Hi. I am sorry to ask a slightly different question, but I didn't want to start a new thread because it is more or less related.

I just bought a MT4G, and rooted it right away, using the new method for the "true" permaroot. I did this before receiving the OTA update. Now I am wondering if I am missing out on anything, and if so, how do I install the OTA update after I have already rooted?

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] slhpss:
do you have clockwork??? that is.. is recovery a black background with green text??? or do you start with a red triangle and have to press volup+power to make the menu show up? The error you're talking about sounds like standard recovery... you could try booting to the boot loader taking the recovery image off your phone (should be in your /sdcard/clockwork/recovery/......../glaciersomethingsomething.img) and putting it on your pc in the directory with fast boot then using this command (in a command prompt in the dir fastboot.exe is in)

fastboot flash recovery glaciersomethingsomething.img

(glaciersomethingsomething.img isn't the file name but im too lazy to check)

you should be able to install the recovery and flash the update.zip in the OP and you will be 2.2.1 or you can flash gorilla's DHD rom or iced glacier :)

I know I'm kinda stupid to you but the only thing I rely on is wifi without data plan how do I install clockmod on market, I'm sry about what I asked but I guess you don't understand my situation
[myTouch 4G Android Development] slhpss:
situation doesn't matter man... clockworkmod is available on the first page of my post... put it in your adb directory and type

adb install filename

and here is a link to the recovery... you can flash it (no clockworkmod install needed) by saving it to your adb dir (make sure fastboot.exe is in there they moved it in the newest sdk release) and type

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-glacier.img

the wifi module is available in a few posts on this board with instructions on how to install it.

I'm really not trying to be mean I just wish people would think then act. The post clearly says you will lose wifi access. if you knew you didn't have a data package you should have researched this before starting and had all the necessary tools already downloaded and ready to go before starting.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Uchennadi:
Patience is key

I'm so proud of myself right now, because this was not an easy task for me esp. since I've never done anything even close to this before. The hardest part was getting S-off to stick, but once it did, it was smooth sailing from there.

I used visionary 14r, terminal emulator, clockwork rom manager, and the 3 files, PD151IMG.zip, root, and update.zip with the 3 files in sdcard/

After updating to 2.2.1, I booted into hboot to see if I was back to S-on, but its still showing S-off. Now this got me wondering if its possible to not be rooted but still have S-off? Will this make rerooting easy then? Thanks in advance
[myTouch 4G Android Development] slhpss:
you can have s-off without rooting =D but that is a guide that I'm not gonna write... but honestly if you just didn't run the visionary or the rage against the cage after updating to 2.2.1 you would be not rooted and on 2.2.1

Not a dev either, but seems like you can start by putting the lib files in the kineto-n1-bundle.zip on your build and modifying your build.prop to call those lib files (using the included build.prop in the zip file as an example).

I'll give it a try and post results later.
