cyanogens seems to be the most stable and updated thus far... i would suggest going with that... i'm currently running fatality's hero rom w/ rosie and its going ok so far, but i've come across a lot of lag and am probably going to use the cyanogen permanently pending testing
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Breakthecycle2:

3.9.9.1 32b... i tried loading the 32a after doing the initial root process and it was not stable at all.. would suggest performing the revert back to the 32b rom and radio via the "daredevil" steps then loading this ROM via recovery update... be sure to do a factory wipe before you do the update though, always recommend this before installing any new ROM
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Ghost117:
THank you!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Breakthecycle2:
Exactly, for mine I did:

C:/android

enter

fastboot boot recovery.img ( i renamed it to make it easier)

done.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lbendlin:
Has anyone else noticed issues with 3.9.9.1 32b on the MyTouch? The picture gallery doesn't recognize some of the images, and the touch keyboard doesn't always vibrate on keypress.

I am also missing the font size settings for the email programs.

On a completely unrelated note (and a bit off topic): Is there any way to change the "Work Email" label? I happen to have my own Exchange server for my private email, and am connection to my work email via IMAP. So the labels are exactly the wrong way round...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Breakthecycle2:
Ok, I just tried to fastboot the radio and it said failed, signature verify failed. Any suggestions?

new to andriod and rooting

hi i am new to rooting and i need some help with making the gold card i managed to get my cid and reverse it but when i try to make the image in qmat i get an error saying since it is a trial version of the software the magic is not supported so i was wondering if i could give someone my cid and from that someone generate the image file i need please?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Ghost117:
Finally rooted using these instructions and even did the 32B steps! Now running cyanogen 32B!

Thanks all
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Johnny Blaze:
Go back to the instructions. It tells you what website to input the reverse cid into to get your gold card file free.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] almyz125:
thank you i am a complete idiot i was trying to hard and it was right there thank you lol.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Breakthecycle2:

Got mytouch rooted!

Awesome!

Thanks guys!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Breakthecycle2:
Do you need to download and install the 32a ROM before going to 32B? Or can you just go straight to the 32B?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Johnny Blaze:
Follow the instructions to the letter. I tried the other way and it didnt work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Johnny Blaze:
- Power-off your device

- Insert the goldcard

- Power on while holding volume down

- It should pick up the sappimg.zip and you should be able to flash it.

- Once the flashing is FULLY finished power off your device.

- Remove the goldcard and insert the SD (with update.zip)

- Power on while holding back (=fastboot) and connect the USB cable

- Download my RAv1.2.0H recovery and fastboot it :

Code:

fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img

- Once the recovery is booted wait a while

- Apply the update.zip (you are now flashing the 1.33.2005 SPL)

- Once the SPL is flashed you have to power off your device and boot it again in fastboot mode.

- The SPL should now read 1.33.2005.

- Power off your device and pull out the SD-card

- erase the update.zip on your SD-card (via cardreader)

- Download my RAv1.1.0H 32A based ROM and rename it to update.zip and copy it to the root of your SD-card (via cardreader)

- Insert the SD into your device.

- Power on while holding back (=fastboot) and connect the USB cable

Code:

fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img

- Apply the update.zip located on your SD-card

For Daredevils : Perform the following steps only if you want to revert to a 32B based radio and ROM.

Revert to 32B Radio and ROM :

- Download your favorite 32B ROM and copy it to your sdcard and name it update.zip

- Download the Ion radio image from the HTC site.

- Extract radio.img from ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip using your favorite rar/zip program.

- Download my 32B RAv1.2.0G recovery.

- Fastboot your mobile and connect it via USB :

Code:

fastboot flash radio radio.img

fastboot erase system -w

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RAv1.2.0G.img

- press MENU to power off! (do not reboot):eek:

- hold HOME and POWER to boot into recovery mode

- apply update

here are the full instructions to root and go back to a 32b rom. I recommend cyanogens rom.

problem with a update

when i try to apply an update which is the 1.33.2005 and it's renamed to update.zip and now i'm in android system recovery and trying to apply the update this is what it says e:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (no such file or directory. can't mount sdcard:update.zip. what would be causing that problem.:confused: tried the update below that too and still nothing. I think i might of bricked this phone it says vodafone and then htc magic and the phone is on and running but i can't get nothing to work as far as making a phone call or turning on wifi.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Johnny Blaze:
I had the same issue. Refer to the part before flashing that says wait a while. Try choosing the option choose updat right below the sd card update zip and you should be fine.

myTouch Rooted successfully

:cool: I just wanted to say thanks to everyone involved in making this possible in such a short amount of time. I used my SanDisk 4gb Class 2 card the phone came with to make my goldcard and used a second card for the update.zip. After following the instructions to the T, I was successful at getting my myTouch rooted. I'm now running JacHero 2.7.4 for 32B. I was excited for a minute thinking the BT work, but it only turns on, pairs and connects, it has no audio:(. Still outputs through the handset. But yes, this is absolutely the way to gain root on your myTouch 3G:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Breakthecycle2:
I got it dude. I should have posted sooner. I have root. Thanks everyone!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lbendlin:
after the sappimg step. You will find that you can fastboot when the device is "stuck" at the Vodafone splash. Fastboot into the H recovery image (NOT G!)

hey im trying to proceed to this step. i downloaded a rom (Qteks HERO rom)

and it says i needed to do the 3 partition thing.

from what i know the RAv1.2.0G recovery has an option to format the sd card in 3 partitions.

how do i go about doing this? should i format the sd card first using RAv1.2.0G and put the rom in?

where can i find instructions for this :eek:

thanks in advance...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Six6Sicks:
Read this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4029315&postcount=1

then

Boot into recovery, format SD from recovery with 3 partitions. Download Hero Rom, rename it update.zip, put it on SD card you just formatted. Flash Hero Rom, enjoy.

CyanogenMod 3.9.9.1 and Anetshare

Hi all,

Many thanks for all the good work and information!! I have managed to root my MyTouch 3G. Everything seems to be working.

I am currently running CyanogenMod 3.9.9.1. The program that I really need to run is Anetshare. However, after installation and launching of Anetshare, I clicked on "Start Wifi" and the application just stuck there. The button never turn to "Stop Wifi". I can see "GPhone" listed in my hackintosh netbook. But it won't get an IP from Anetshare. Anetshare also never prompt me to allow access for the netbook. After quiting Anetshare, I am not able to start wifi on the mytouch.

Does anyone know if the rom build is incompatible with anetshare? Also, can anyone recommend a 32B rom that they actually have anetshare running? Thank you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] g1gangsta6604:
quick question

nice writ up just got a quick question about roms... if i flash ur recovery am i able to update to a diff rom thats not yours or do i have to use a recovery compatible with your rom sorry if im confusing you a little it wasnt this hard to root the g1 i miss that phone....i just want to run a modde version of the hero rom....
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mahlergreen:
After I followed the instructions from post#1, I re-flashed with CyanogenMod 3.9.9.1 using the same recovery-RAv1.2.0G.img. So I believer the answer is "Yes" .
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] g1gangsta6604:
hey thanx man ill give it a shot rite now im having a prob connecting with adb....
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tato22:
i did that re download it and i tryed to open it and said the compressed (zipped) folder is invalid or corrupted so it dont read it at all any ideas
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mahlergreen:
You can open it with 7Zip instead just double clicking on the zip file. I believe the Windows zip utility has problems opening it. Download and install 7zip to verify the sappimg.zip is ok.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tato22:
7zip how do i go by getting that oo and when i tryed to do tthe gold card i did it with a transcend card and it didnt work so i used a sandisk and it worked
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] curveconcepts:
I have tried flashing the spl several times. I always end up at 1.33.0009 no matter what. I have started at step 1 and gone down the list following each instruction and still cannot get 1.33.2005 on my device. It updates, says complete successfully, but when restart, shows the 1.33.0009

Also, when it says power off, are we to assume we just pull the battery? Or is there someway of powering it off with keys while in recovery mode?

Mine actually states after the flash, the following:

Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

Installing update...

Extracting hboot image...

Reboot via home+back or menu to complete installation.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mahlergreen:
If your gold card is working, there is no real reason to open sappimg.zip. You just need to copy it as is to the gold card. In case you need 7 zip, you can download from:

http://www.7-zip.org/
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tato22:
yea gold card if not ones i did the goldcard i wont be able to open it and put the file in it right the 1 one i did did not open it ask me to format it again the 2 one did open i put the file in it sapp and ones i put it on the phone and hold down cam and power it tells me no img so it dont flash nothing
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] maxisma:
WTF?! Please repeat o_O
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mahlergreen:
I believe for the sappimg.zip part, you suppose to hold down Volume Down + Power.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tato22:
lol i said if the gold card was bad it wont open up for me to put the sapp file in it when i tryed to do the first gold card it was asking me to format it again so i tryed a diff card and it worked ones i put the card in the phone and and i power off the phone holding down the cam and power it try's to read the sapp but it tells me no img it will sy no img 100 times
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tato22:
yea i did do that part it just wont read the sapp

then after its done it says

model ID incorrect

update fail

do you want to reboot devise
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] curveconcepts:
that means the goldcard was not created correctly or the card will not work for this operation (incompatible card)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nextelbuddy:
im having some problems when trying to follow these steps from the original post

the section i have highlited in RED, i did this but what does it mean in the Parenthesis? it says (of fastboot your device and then press volume down)

my gold card is in and when i hold the volume down and power button to power the device back on i get the screen withthe androids on skate boards and it says HBOOT and then flashes some things and each line says FLASHING SAPPDIAG image file not found or wrong image

FLASH your T-Mobile myTouch 3G

Make sure are using fastboot from the latest SDK (release 3) !

- Power-off your device

- Insert the goldcard

- Power on while holding volume down (of fastboot your device and then press volume down)

- It should pick up the sappimg.zip and you should be able to flash it.

- Once the flashing is FULLY finished power off your device.

- Remove the goldcard and insert the SD (with update.zip)

- Power on while holding back (=fastboot) and connect the USB cable

- Download my RAv1.2.0H recovery and fastboot it :

i have checked my gold card and it does have the sappimg.zip and i can even unzip it on my hard drive successfully with no problems.

also after it says IMAGE FILE NOT FOUND OR WRONG IMAGE it just goes back tothe fast boot screen with with HBOOT highlighted in blue and <BACK> Fastboot Mode below that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tato22:
i guessing is that dam card i have to go buy one that is not a sandisk
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] curveconcepts:
anyone have any thoughts why i cannot update the spl from 1.33.0009 to 1.33.2005 when it says that it has completed successfully??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] almyz125:
so i put cyanogen's rom on and it works except when i try to use my wifi or bluetooth it says unable to start wifi when i try to check the box and when i try to check the bluetooth box it dose nothing what could be wrong?

also just realized my accelorometer is unresponsive... idk what to do?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nextelbuddy:
ok redid my GOLD card and this time it finally got to the part wher it said Checkign SAPPIMAGE.ZIP and it asked me if i wanted to update and i chose yes and it went through everything fine.

now i am on the steps where it says to power down and hold BACK and POWER together and connect USB and i did that and i open my CMD Prompt and type in ADB SHELL and i get Device not found.

it was working just a few min ago before i flashed anything but now when im in fast boot mode my computer doesnt like it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nextelbuddy:
ok this is retarded. before i did anything i installed the Android SDK and was able to ADB shell my phone withthe proper ADB drivers installed. i was also able to perform ADB DEVICES and it listed my device and serial number

i made my gold card copied the sappimg.zip file to the gold card and flashed the Mytouch with this file and it was successful.

i powered down and power back on holding the BACK BUTTON (has the reverse arrow on it) and FAST BOOT USB appeared and i opened mt CMD prompt again and attempted to ADB SHELL and it says DEVICE NOT FOUND

i powered down again powered back on and i see the VODAFONE splash screen and booted the phone back up its like a complete new HTC MAGIC phone

i plugged the phone back in and windows says FOUND ADB DEVICE but doesnt recognize the driver, i used USBDEVIEW to uninstall the driver

plugged phone back in and windows asks to point to the driver so i pointed to C:\AndroidSDK\usb_driver\x86

and windows says can not find the necessary software

so now in my Windows Device manager it shows ADB Device not installed and driver not installed

what happened? what did i do wrong? pretty much stuck at this point since i can nto get windows to recognize the ADB drivers so i can ADB shell into the phone to flash the recovery image.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nextelbuddy:
Ok i guess i missed the part:

Note: After flashing a new ROM, your Device Id may change again to either 0C03 or remain as 0C02. So you need to update the .ini file again as above to refelect the change and re-install the driver. Another known way to fix the above issue is to download and install HTC Sync - this seems to install the correct drivers.

so i wil download the HTC SYNC software and load the updated drivers to update my Device ID

sorry for the mistake on my part
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rvashi:
A little confused...

If the mytouch is a 32B device, why are we flashing an initial 32A ROM and then later in the instructions, it says something like, 'for daredevils...to convert to 32B Radio and ROM'..

I don't understand...am I missing something??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nextelbuddy:
this is so weird. after instlaling the HTC SYNC and the updated XP drivers when the phone is loaded lke normal i can ADB shell into the phone no problem.

as soon as i turn the phone off and fast boot into the phone i can no longer ADB shell and it says no devices found.

argh this is so frustrating.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nextelbuddy:
its not so much of a daredevil anymore persay but these phones the hardware will support both 32A and 32B radios but the 32A is not as optimized so many will feel the need to go back to a 32B radio and still keep their root. 32B is just better all around.

i've tried the steps over and over again.

im trying my best but i cant, its 6:24 AM and i started this at 11 PM

i have already made a goldcard, and i think that if the vodafone and htc magic screens load up that means i flashed the phone right?

Thank you to everyone who worked hard to crack the rooting process for this phone.

At any rate, I did manage to get my phone rooted (using the sd card that came with the phone to setup as my gold card, then another card for the spare)---i'm using Cyanogen's latest rom and MY GOD, my phone is moving soooooo much smoother than the stock rom it came with. Then I even changed the splash to a custom one I made in photoshop! LOVING IT.
