[Hero, G2 Touch General] simoran2:
I have a t-mobile hero and would like to root it. I found a guide on android forums.com that uses orange firmware. I cant get an answer on if this is safe to use with a T-Mobile phone.

Can anyone either answer this question or point me towards a guide on how to root?

Thanks

Hi,

Im very interested to see what current Kaiser users are planning to up grade to?

I almost bought the Blackstone but the hardware keys prove very valueable with java apps. Not to mention that the jog dial is also very useful.

Any projected handsets that HTC will release that support dual sim, and maintain the hardware buttons similar to the Kaiser?

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] khaytsus:
I'm in the same boat, except I also have a secondary desire..... The Pre. But I don't plan on changing from AT&T so..... we'll see. I haven't heard anything concrete in that regard except for a weak rumor that a Centro-like WebOS might be coming to AT&T which I don't care about.

So I'm eyeballing the "Tilt 2" but I'm with you in that I REALLY like having hardware buttons, losing the 5-way controller blows..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] f1ip:
Touch Pro 2 brah!!!!!

I only miss the Camera button, the scroll wheel, an ummmmm the button above the scroll wheel, the Windows button, the left/right softkey buttons.

the Center button, and the 4way Dpad.

Not to mention I have to use the Left Hand!!!!

I cant open the slider with just left hand.. lolz.. i guess i need to switch the fapping hand. :eek:

But I really like the new TP2 because of the real estate on the screen.

Not to mention the 3G connection... (which doesn't work I my room cuz of weak signal, so Edge only) Oh and the keyboard is ALOT better (both hardware and on-screen)

It is definitely worth the purchase for me. (half the price of the unlocked Kaiser, duh!)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] willcor:
blackstone for me...

i have the kaiser for nearly ... past 2 yrs.... really enjoyed using phone.. and still do...but....about 4 months back ..upgraded to blackstone and in beginning ..bit upset with some missing issues...as you ,also named..jog dial... hardware buttons....... also some software ...etc ..but.....

after tweaking this and that... you get so use to the blackstone (and screen ) that the missing issues..(jog dial....hardware buttons..)becomes a very.. very small issue ... the blackstone ..to me is... no 1.. .!!!

working very... very smoothly..!!!!

..but yes..in beginning (for 1 month ) after upgrading i did miss the kaiser eperience...but hey...

... now i have the pleasure in having both phones ( one old .. but still good and the other one ..blackstone.... my favorite...

my vote ..blackstone..

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnibravo:
Hi, I recently flashed my phone to cyanogens 3.6.8.1 all was well until yesterday when the phone screen displayed vertical lines like a grey color, the phone could receive calls but from t mobile customer service and it was booting up tho I couldn't see the screen. Then I took the sim card out and the screen returned to normal but was stuck in the splash screen. I reflashed and sometime the next day it happened again, this time I took out the sim card and it went back to normal

Any ideas
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Could you post a log of this? Could you also provide some more details about your set-up (a2sd? swap? comcache? spl/recovery?) and how did you get to this point (did you wipe before flash? did you run any back-up apps, what were you doing when it happened?)

Once we have that info we should be able to figure it out.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnibravo:
I started out with th jesus freak rom then I decieded to flash the cyanogens 3.6.8.1, I had trouble with the market because I hadn't wiped first, I did that and all was well for at least 5 days. I created an ext2 partition for apps2sd but I'm not sure if that worked. Then on the Saturday 6 days later I put fotmob on my phone so I could keep an eye on the opening premiership season put the phone in my pocket whilst at the football and 2 hours later the phone screen was dead, nobody could call me tho I know the phone was operating and booting only t mobile manage to get through, I tried a reboot, then took the sim card out and the screen went back to normal but was stuck on the splash screen. I tried fixing file ext but came as error asomething about the super block being unreadable tried manually but didn't work, tried backup still stuck, reflashed worked fine for. 20 hours then it happened again this time I wasn't doing anything with the phone no programs other than the usual running in the background, this time I removed the sim card and the phone went back to normal again for about 4 hours then it happened again this time removing the sim didn't work.straight away but eventually it came good again.

Its now 11 15 and its running fine again. I have noticed that I now only have one ringtone (dream theme) and one notification tone and I'm getting a few force closes tho I not sure what they are I will report them if and when I see them
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtrplr71:
you need to get audio resources and unzip to the sd card all the ringers. search xda for audio resources
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnibravo:
The screen went dead again at 3pm this time after removing the sim card it stayed the same it was only after leaving the battery off it returned to normal again about 10 minutes later, I am also getting a vending core force close from time to time, please someone help me solve this issue.

P.s I've never actually seen the phone do this it happens when it is in my pocket when I get it out it happens also this time I have not installed any software and it is still happening
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Because you lost your ringtones, it sounds like your SD card is acting funny, I would format it using this guide (make only 2 partitions for the time being, fat32 and ext3).

See if that works...May be complete reflash with wipe wouldn't be a bad idea neither.

That's all I can suggest at this point, I'll need to see a log to be anymore specific, but try this out, sounds like you've got nothing to loose

Good luck.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnibravo:
Thanks for your reply I am very greatful, I have tried a different sd card without setting up partitions and it still happens. I think the latter is true and a complete reflash is definately the thing to do.

I think this may be a hardware issue because as I mentioned it only happens when it has been in my pocket for a while, perhaps it is overheating or something.

I'll try a complete reflash and let you know if it happens again.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Wipe, re-flash, reformat your sd (or take it out altogether, just to rule it out see what happens... This is all I can tell you....

good luck

I was able to successfully root my new t-mobile mytouch 3G through this forum.

There may be a variety of reasons to unroot it for persons using this forum. I have a good one, in any case.

I saw there are faqs to unroot G1 and perhaps some other sapphire phones, but not for the Mytouch G2.

Here is my original rom/data info from before it was rooted

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP30000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.19.261

Perhaps this would be a good time for those who cracked the dreaded perfect spl to give directions to uncrack it. Imagine it is quite simple, but I am somewhat new at this, and don't know where to find the files needed.

1. what files would be needed (perhaps someones nandroid backup?)

2. where to get the files.

3. directions to install them, so the phone appears back in factory condition.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] smartwild:
I have the same question
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] smartwild:
also can a nandroid back restore the spl at the time of backup as well. so if we use one click root and then do the nandroid back, so the restore will be factory spl and factory rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] korndub:
not really possible at this point, unless someone has a copy of the t-mobile mytouch sappimg.NBH

why would you want to give up the rooty goodness anyway?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] smartwild:
to send the phone for warreny maybe
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] smartwild:
also can a nandroid back restore the spl at the time of backup as well. so if we use one click root and then do the nandroid back, so the restore will be factory spl and factory rom?

do u think this is a possibility?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] aron7awol:
I think the same downgrade protection that made root so difficult to achieve would also prevent the MyTouch NBH from flashing since the MainVer is lower. We determined that the downgrade protection came from somewhere on the device other than the SPL.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] korndub:
nand doesnt flash SPL. sorry charlie

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BrooklynAvi:
I am pretty sure there are other ways to purposely brick your phone to get service under warranty. There are a ton of posts in the G1 forums on this exact subject. I am not sure that that's why you want to downgrade but if it's for warranty repair, others have reported that they were able to get HTC to fix their phones even though they were rooted (often when they were bricked). Personally, I don't think HTC could care less but that's just my opinion.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] leiko49:
a couple reasons to unroot phone:

A. you sell it to someone on ebay who does not want a rooted phone, perhaps they think it is illegal or something.

B. for the warranty

while this may be off topic, someone mentioned sending it to HTC for the warranty, and they would not care about it being rooted or no. Do we send the t-mobile mytouch phone to t-mobile or htc? (I'm sure the quesiton is somewhere in the data base, but I'm a little lazy about this one. sometimes shortcuts are good, like rooting is a kind of shortcut.:cool:

so far as how to unroot, if someone (who unlike me thinks ahead) backed up the original hard drive data, could they upload said backup to be used by others?

Cheers

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tato22:
if u want to send it back to tmobile just tell them u downloaded a app and it fu*k it up and u cant do hard reset or nothing it that it keeps cutting of anf on u know make somthing up all i did was tru back the rom it comes with and set it back for a new one but i was still under the buys R so am waiting on a new one now
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Jrbourque:
The mytouch nbh will be released shortly some time today or maybe tomorrow. You will use the gold card method like before ( you might not even have to use gold card, but if it doesnt flash regular use the gold card) You shouldnt have to worry about the version being an older version because you dont have that spl that wont allow you to flash older versions

Is the programa suppose to estabish a 3G connenction by itself?

When I use it it tries to establish a connection but it stops after 2-3 seconds and it doesn't establish a connenction, meaning that no song can be found obviously.

If I establish a 3G connenction manually and then start up the program it does find the songs.

Does this happen to anyone else? Is there a fix for this? As in, that the programs itself establishes the data connention automatically?

[G1 Android Development] youneek:
Many people complain that they have "bricked" their phones when they really haven't. This thread will hopefully help reduce the questions on all of our useful threads.

How to tell if your phone is bricked:

1.) When you try to turn it on, nothing happens?

2.) Camera+Power does nothing.

3.) Home+Power does nothing.

4.) You flashed the SPL BEFORE the radio

If you answered yes to any of the above 4, you are bricked. You probably need a new board in the phone. Read more here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=516440 It has been confirmed that you WILL brick your phone if you attempt to downgrade your radio after flashing the new SPL. Not sure why you would want to anyways...

How to tell if you just need to re-flash:

1.) Your phone is stuck on the g1 logo

2.) Your phone is stuck in a boot loop

3.) Home+Power boots into recovery

If you answered yes to the above then you are NOT bricked. You have the G1 Night Light. This is (usually) a very easy fix.

The usual scenario is: You just upgraded your radio and/or the SPL on your phone and now you are trying to turn it on with no luck.

How to fix: After you upgrade your radio and/or SPL, you need to wipe a rom on the phone. For a plain almost stock feeling rom, checkout http://jf.andblogs.net/2009/05/24/jfv151-images-are-out/ if you are looking for hero, checkout the tutorial at g1upgrade.com.

I have also noticed when you flash hero, it will stay on the g1 logo for 5 or 6 minutes and then it'll finally start loading. Make sure your not being impatient and give it several minutes if you have just flashed a rom.

Last step:

If you have installed a new radio, then spl, then a new rom and you STILL get the g1 screen. Try it all over again. You probably didn't do something right. You don't need to ask questions in 30 different threads, your issue is not unique. You just need to search for some answers.

[G1 Android Development] jc1337:
I flashed the SPL before the radio whenever Haykuro released the Hero ROM and I didn't brick my device. Guess that I just got lucky. Thank goodness I know better now. haha
[G1 Android Development] wahookasan:
it's possible you flashed the radio prior to the SPL, only a loooong ways back.
[G1 Android Development] WiredAnim:
Another thing to try if you are having issues is:

su

rm -r /system/sd/*

I was stuck in a boot loop and a quick ext3 wipe did the trick. The command should be able to be ran from console or terminal. You may need to mount /system with:

mount -t -rw,remount -o yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

You would need to type that in between the commands above . I ran across this in another post but i think this is a good spot for it too .
[G1 Android Development] WiredAnim:
Duplicate post...
[G1 Android Development] raminna:
thanx

At least I know now how to tell if I bricked my phone or just flashed it badly thanks for this.
[G1 Android Development] alapapa:
many people who flashed the new SPL before the radio are stuck at the G1 splash logo, but cannot get to recovery or spl bootloader / fastboot mode regardless of what they do, so this bit might be misleading...

they aren't technically "bricked" b/c it's loading the radio rom, but it never hands off to the SPL, so there is currently no way of reloading either of those to make the device do anything useful -- essentially a brick
[G1 Android Development] digital006:
This is exactly what happened to me, it was a brick, sent for repair and they replaced the mainboard.
