[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] milelake2:
I know that a lot of you out there are like me and not a computer programmer. I am sure that I am not the first person to post something like this but I know that this is going to be the easiest.

To start you will need a formatted MicroSD Card (any size will do). If you do not have a spare MicroSD card, backup all your files on your current MicroSD Card to your PC then format it using your computer.

Also your MyTouch must be running on 1.5 (cupcake) software. If your MyTouch is not running on 1.5 (cupcake) go to this site to downgrade your phone to 1.5 (cupcake) http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/

I know there are a lot of steps but it will take less then 10 minutes.

If links do not work copy and past in browser window

Steps:

1.	Download this file “flashrec-1.1.2-20090909.apk” from this link http://code.google.com/p/flashrec/ (the file is on the right hand side of the screen) to your PC.

2.	Download this file “cm-recovery-1.4.img” http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/cm-recovery-1.4.img (click on link and save file) to your PC.

3.	Copy both files to your formatted MicroSD Card.

4.	Go to Android Market download and install “Linda File Manager”.

5.	Go to “Setting” on your MyTouch

6.	Go to “Applications”

7.	Check “Unknown Sources” (this will allow you to install programs not from the Market)

8.	Go to “Linda File Manager”

9.	Go to “SD Card”

10.	Click on “Linda File Manager” (when the pop up window appears)

11.	Click and Run “flashrec-1.1.2-20090909.apk”

12.	Click on “Backup Recovery Image” (once Backup Recovery Image is done move on to next step)

13.	Clear out the text box and type in “/sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img"

14.	Click on the “Flash Custom RecoveryImage” button (once Flash is

done move on to next step)

15.	Click on “Home” button

16.	Turn MyTouch off

17.	Hold down the “Home” and “Power” button (keep holding it down until you see a Black screen with Green fonts)

18.	If on the bottom of the screen you see “Build: CyanogenMod v1.4 +

JF” in White Font you have successfully Rooted you MyTouch

*if you interested in loading a custom ROM please continue. I recommend CyanogenMod. They are the best and it work well.

*this will result in a complete memory wipe. None of your existing data or installed software will be left.

19.	Scroll down to and select “nandriod v2.2 backup”

20.	Click on “Home” Key to continue (by doing this you have created a backup file that you can restore if something goes wrong)

21.	Scroll up to “reboot system now”

22.	Download “update-cm-4.2.5-signed.zip” from this link: http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/update-cm-4.2.5-signed.zip (save the file when the pop up window appears)

23.	Download “HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip” from this link: http://www.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=enomther/ROM/&file=HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip

24.	Copy the downloaded files to your MicroSD Card.

25.	Turn off Phone

26.	Hold the “Home” and “Power” until you get to the screen with Black background and green font.

27.	Scroll down to “wipe data/factory reset”

28.	Click on “Home” Key (once wipe is down move on to next step)

29.	Scroll up to “apply any zip from sd”

30.	Select “HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip”

31.	Click on “Home” Key (once install is done move on to next step)

32.	Scroll up to “apply any zip from sd”

33.	Select “update-cm-4.2.5-signed.zip”

34.	Click on “Home” Key (once install is done move on to next step)

35.	Scroll down to “wipe data/factory reset”

36.	Click on “Home” Key (once wipe is down move on to next step)

37.	Click on “reboot system now” (reboot will take longer then usual

due to new install)

38.	Once reboot is complete your done.

I would recommend that you go to the Andriod Market download and install an Overclock program. It will improve the performance of your MyTouch.
