[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] RotoRooted:
One-click Method!

This is is really good guide. I just wanted to add a couple tidbits:

For those MT3G users who would like a video tutorial of this process follow this link: http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-root-the-mytouch-3g-or-g1-in-one-click/. This site has a really nice easy-to-follow video tutorial and the instructions are virtually "noob proof". This was how I rooted my myTouch.

Finally, and probably the most important tidbit:

The "One-Click" method described on this thread and on "theunlockr.com" exploits a security hole found in the bluetooth. I know that the Recovery Flasher app exploits this, but I am clueless how it works exactly. Anyhow, there is much discussion that this security hole will be patched on the next OTA update.:eek: So if you are interested in rooting your myTouch with this method, then do so soon before it is too late! After this OTA update unrooted users will have to revert to the "Gold Card method" to obtain root.

Here is a link for the "Gold Card" method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=547133

Which ever method you choose, GOOD LUCK!!:)

RotoRooted - not really root?

Roto - does the one-click really provide root, or is it simply instructions to flash a new recovery image? I successfully flashed the new recovery but cannot su to root in a shell using adb. Perhaps I am mistaking "rooting" a phone with acquiring "root" privledges, but I assume the former would provide the latter, no?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pmp.s:
Root perfect spl

hi i was just going to write a new thread about the same method but thanks its already posted,after trying to do the Goldcard thingy which was very complicated i did researches and i found tehsame website as u did! :D

can we just change the title to Root Perfecf SPL ? i think willl be easier for thosewho have prfect spl to find it!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] RotoRooted:
Is "One-Click" root really root?

The short answer is yes. The "One-Click" method does REALLY root your MT3G. My question is have you flashed a rom after you flashed the recovery.img. If not I suggest, as has andreev2001, trying the "stable" 4.0.4 Cyanogen rom found at this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=537204.

Here is a link w/video on how to flash roms from theunlockr.com: http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-load-hero-and-or-apps2sd-onto-your-g1-or-mytouch-3g-best-method/

Cyanogen's roms are lightning fast, and there is a "CMUpdater" app available in the "Market" to make updating your roms much easier.

Here is a link to the Official Cyanogen website with SH** LOADS of information: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/

There is also a Cyanogen YouTube channel coming soon subscribe today!! This guy is up-to-date on all this rooting stuff.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jggenius:
RotoRoot - I definitely do not have root. I cannot su to root, nor will Wifi tether work for me. I have used Cyan's ROMS on my G1 for a long time and can attest to their quality. I have yet to flash any ROM, which may actually change the file permissoins to allow the actual "root" access. I would say unless I did something wrong (I followed the steps on theunlockr.com) it is a mis-nomer to say that one-click gives you root, no?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eugene373:
Root worked fine for me after using the one-click root.

Be sure to check the rom, it might not have Superuser.apk in it.

If it does, idk then.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] RotoRooted:
:(Im not sure what to tell you...I did the one-click and have root. I am able to do Wifi-tether and apps2sd without any issue. SU is working fine for me as well, and I followed theunlockr.com to the "T". Maybe on download the recovery.img was corrupt (don't panic, this does happen occasionally). I would flash the stock .nbh and try the full process again. Sorry man, many others have had success with this process so I would wonder if maybe the download was corrupt.

Here is a link to unroot: http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/

GOOD LUCK!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jggenius:
Weird, tried to flash a Cyan ROM and watched the logcat have mega failures. Fortunately I had done a Nandroid backup and restored just fine using the recovery loaded in the "one-click" process. I will try again... Thanks for the help!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] phatmanxxl:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DOHCtor:
Just get the sappimg.nbh file and flash that through bootloader (hboot). You will be back on 1.5 rom. Then you can install recovery flasher and flash your recovery with Anom Ra's, and from there, you can flash your rom and spl of choice.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] fabiogump:
I'm gonna throw this out and see what happens.

I just got Efficasoft GPS Utilities for my wizard. So far I like it, but it doesn't come with maps loaded on them. Which is the only thing that bothers me about it.

On their website, they say you can make maps using a google maps screen capture. but the biggest map I can generate is a 5 mile radius and that's no good to me.

Anyone have any ideas on getting some decent maps to work with it?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stigy:
I know its not supported natively, but I was wondering if anyone was working on the bluetooth stack for phonebook transfer?

I use my phone hooked up to my Pioneer headunit in my car via Bluetooth and would love to have my phonebook in the car so I could see the caller ID right on the screen.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
If it supports AD2P then it should do it automatically. My JVC KW-NX7000BT does.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stigy:
A2DP is not for phonebook transfer...

The profile for phonebook transfer is PBAP.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Ok I got my definitions wrong, but it should still transfer it automatically.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stigy:
Why would it work automatically if the default Bluetooth stack doesn't support the phonebook transfer protocol?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
So I guess its not working on mine then, I'm just imagining what I'm seeing on my unit. I haven't made any extra adjustments.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terence_oh:
Bluetooth Profiles

Hi,

I have the same need for bluetooth phonebook transfers. I have done some research, and my issue (and maybe yours) is that my bluetooth headset unit uses the following profile for Phoenbook Transfer and sync:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile

1.26 Synchronisation Profile (SYNCH) , otherwise known as the PIM synchronization profile.

The Sony Ericsson HCB700 headset that I use, and many Parrot models with LCD displays and built-in phonebook Sync, use this.

These are not currently included in the Bluetooth stack of Cyanogen 4.0.4 ROM that I'm using, and probably not in the next official release of Android.

I know some Parrot units have the ability to upgrade to use OBEX, which the following group of developers are working on. You can refer to existing discussions and apps here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=551182

It would be great if a ROM developer would look into incorporating both the SYNCH and PBAP/PBA profiles into the next release....

I find myself turning off auto-back-light every evening as it doesn't lower the back-light as far as I'd like when its really dark. Would be nice if this could be tuned.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayjay:
Bump for this question. I would also be interested in an app that can turn off the auto-back-light, because that's essentially what I do every night through the settings screen:

I have set back light to zero, which is overridden by the automatic back-light and when I go to bed, I turn off the automation, which brings the backlight down to zero (which is still too bright, compared to - for instance - the iPhone).

Anybody have a better solution?

[G1 General] lbcoder:
So you're outside of the allowed paid apps territories and have recently found that you can no longer use MARKET ENABLER to gain access to paid apps. You might have found the german "o2" settings work, but those give you european targeted downloads and you want US targeted.

Seems that there is a problem with the MNC used by MARKET ENABLER. There are two android global properties called "gsm.sim.operator.numeric" and "gsm.operator.numeric", and these are the concatenation of the network MCC and MNC values, tmobile US was set to 31026, their MCC (mobile country code) is 310 (usa) and MNC (mobile network code) is 260 (tmobile US) -- whoops, maybe try 310260 instead. Yep, that works. :D

Enjoy!

[G1 General] Rapax:
Not doing anything for me.

Hi guys

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here, or just being dense, but I can't seem to see ME doing anything.

I'm running a rooted G1 on the Orange Switzerland network, currently with Cyanogen-Mod 4.04. When I run ME, it asks for root permission (granted), then says it's "doing stuff", then claims to have been successful. If I then check the APN's there are none there, none at all. Also, I still can't see any paid apps in the market.

Usually, or after ME's restore, I have two APN, namely 'Orange' and 'Orange MMS' with the respective settings needed for the local network.
[G1 General] jashsu:
What does Market Enabler have to do with APNs? APNs are used for connecting to a cellular network. Market Enabler works by setting certain build properties to spoof that of a different network.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Almost.... they aren't build properties, they're cell-network properties and sim properties that are retrieved from the simcard and network upon connection. Market enabler overrides these network properties.
[G1 General] jashsu:
You're right. I was thinking of just the properties in general and let it slip.
[G1 General] Rapax:
So, could someone give me short description of how it would look when ME works? Just so I know where the problem might be.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Sure... when you go to market, it will show you $ priced applications. Thats how you know that it worked ;)

Market enabler has 3 tabs; current settings, presets, and custom. When you activate a change on tab 2 or 3, the values shown on tab 1 will change to match.
[G1 General] Rapax:
Tabs? I don't see any tabs.

I see a banner at the top, showing 'Androidiani', then two buttons beneath that, 'Enable paid Apps' and 'Restore'. Below that, a balck field with green text, showing the status/results etc.

And at the bottom, a gray text field with thanks to the developers, and warning about using the app at your own risk.

Are we even talking about the same app here?

EDIT: Right, so I found out about the V3.0beta and installed that. After using the numbers provided in the first post of this thread, it's now working. There does remain one question though: Is it possible to somehow save your initial values, or the 'restore' what you had before enabling? My current settings are detected correctly, but they don't show up in the 'Settings List' Tab, and I can't find a 'restore' option like the last version anywhere. I know that rebooting will reset you to the original settings, but it's a bit annyoing to do that every time.

Still, many thanks for making this possible. It's a great tool, and I'll be recommending it to any other Android users in Switzerland.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
If you read their issue tracker, it appears that they are planning on adding those features you are looking for.
[G1 General] Rapax:
Great, thanks for the info everyone.

Now, I have a slightly more devious question, of purely hypothetical nature of course ;).

Once I've installed a paid app, the apk shows up in /system/sd/app like all the others. If I then backup that apk to somewhere else, say /sdcard/temp, and uninstall/refund the app through the market....what's to stop me from just installing the copied apk afterwards?
[G1 General] jashsu:
Nothing. However, the app will not show up in the Market and thus you will not be able to receive updates.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
In some cases, there are additional copy protection or rat-you-out features contained within the application. If the software asks for internet permissions, then there is most definitely a chance that there could be rat-you-out features.... I know I would.
[G1 General] rac2030:
@Rapax: das macht mer eifach nöd und wegem restore, ich lueg das i de nägscht version so öpis dine isch...

About APN's dissapearing, if you have APN config with specific SIM/Network settings (entered witch sim card/network this should be active) u could get a problem if this settings change...

And once again, this app is not intended for piracy, it's more the opposite, that people who live in non market enabled countries can still buy apps instead of having to rely on getting the apk from ipmart or something and not paying anything to the dev's.
[G1 General] jashsu:
Market Enabler 3.0.1 beta now available. Fixes T-Mo US operator codes (as noted in first post of this thread).
[G1 General] david.ashkenazi:
FYI: Could not install the version 3.0.1 beta. Had first to un-install the previous version (2.0).

Very nice, working like a charm.
[G1 General] rac2030:
That's because the beta version uses a different certificate.

Actual is Version 3.0.2 with save n restore button
[G1 General] Rapax:
Ha...git's also doch no es paar Androidler i de Schwiiz. Genial. Und wäg' em 'macht mer nöd', muesch der kei sorge mache, isch wie gseit, nur e hypothetischi frag gsi.

Again, thanks to everyone working on this. Really increases the value of having an Android phone here in Switzerland. Also, it really raises the question of why it's not done routinely by the providers, if it's obviously possible. It's not like they're usually shy about putting their own crappy modifications on the phones ;)
[G1 General] rac2030:
This is not in the hand of the providers as it wouldn't be a good thing to fake the network identification in general.

I don't really understand why google is restricting the paid market to countries.

If you take a look at the download counts of market enabler and see how many people are using it... without market enabler most people will just ask where to get the apk instead and end up downloading it from ipmart or similar and the dev's dont get any money from this users and the users are installing risky stuff that can have bad code inside (Like with all warez downloads).

@Rapax: v3.0.2 has now the restore button ;-) (display bug after restore it doesn't refresh the value but with click on another tab and back you get the updated values)

I was wandering if anyone could help me decide between dream and magic android phones.

I plan on using them mostly for wifi calling. I don't really need anything fancy.

Only worry that battery is good to last me at least 2 days.

I dont care about the keyboard - on screen one is fine with me.

Also, in terms of future support, upgrades, hacks, maybe Dream is already getting older?

Should I shell out extra $100 for the magic?

Any tips welcome!

PS: Btw I am from Canada...
[General Topics] orb3000:
Welcome to forums

I think the main point is if you need a hardware keyboard or not.

Hi all,

Just got home, looked at my mobile and it said there was no signal - so I turned it off and back on again, then it said there was no SIM inserted. Keep restarting the phone, keeps saying the same thing. Why?!

Am going to try it in my old SE K850i to see if it's the SIM card or the phone at fault.

In the mean time, does anyone else know of this fault and how to fix..?

I didn't the drop the phone or anything, it was just in my pocket, on it's own - like it always is!

[Touch HD General] v3n0m:
you could try to clean the contacts on the sim card connector of the phone with a q-tip, and see if that solves the problem.

also check if any of those contacts appears to be bent or something, and so doesn't make a connection with the card.
[Touch HD General] Ronap:
Everytime I open the back up to remove the SD card, I get the SIM card missing bit even though I have not touched it! My HD is only 3 months old and it has done this from the start. I just have to remove it a bit - shove it back in and the phone accepts it is there. Annoying but not enough for me to send it back.
[Touch HD General] v3n0m:
hmm, maybe try to make the sim a bit thicker so it doesnt move around (it shouldn't move by removing the back cover, but it seems to happen on your phone / sim combination.

try putting a thin piece of paper on top of the sim (not the contacts side, but the side facing to the battery cover)

maybe that prevents this problem?
[Touch HD General] Thysiej:
Missing simcard

I have the same problem with my simcard. Though something strange happens when the phone is off for more then 10min, it works fine and notices there is a simcard for like 30 sec after which the error pops-up again. I have tried all of the above things, my simcard works fine in my other phone, adding some paper to thicken it doesn't work either:(

Anyone who could help me with this?

P.S. sorry for the bad english
[Touch HD General] andreasfuntastic:
As in post 7# written, put some papersheet in the simholder above your simcard to increase the contactpreasure. This surely helps.

Tis trick is also useful for all dualsim users who thik the dualsimadapter does not work in their device (but after using this trick get astonished!)
[Touch HD General] andreasfuntastic:
for Thysiey:

Try to switch to Gsm mode to test . Maybe you have bad umts signal? Happens at other places too, or only at one place?
[Touch HD General] Lucky_Luck:
Got the same issue here...

I cannot move the SIM because it is being hold in place by the battery. (to little room)

Adding a piece did not work either.

Anyone got another solution?
[Touch HD General] Abel2007:
anyone? My mothers HD just got this problem now. She has a new phone and for the contract renewal she had to read the backside of the sim. The phone all of a sudden didn't recognizes the simcard anymore.. I tried a few other simcards but it won't read it anymore.

My plan was to sell the old phone but now it's almost worthless:mad: just a shame it is still a great phone to operate.. handy with the navigation and all
