[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
Universal Androot confirmed working. This method is no longer needed and is to dangourous for some people so please use universal androot 1.5.3+

IF READ CORRECTLY YOU WILL NOT BRICK. BUT, Since a few of you dont have that ability, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU BRICKING YOUR PHONE. There are no pros to rooting this phone yet, leave it alone if you dont know what your doing PLEASE. I beg you. You are in essence almost bricking your phone in order to root it in the first place. These arent fun and games, It is dangerous to rush this stuff

Listen.. Im more then happy to help people. BUt I fully understand why so many devs have left this place. Some of you are so utterly ridiculous with your questions, wanting someone to hold your hand. I cant sit on gtalk for hours helping you go through what should take 10 min , I have a life and kids and other things to do. I did this because I was bored and wanted to see if I could. There is not point in rooting it yet, there are no roms, nor will there be for at least a month. Please, if you cant even understand simple questions, have never rooted or even used an android phone before, please.. do not bother me. This place is insane with stupidity. I will change the tutorial in a little more detail later, but fo rnow, DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YORU DOING. IF YOUR BREAK YOUR CRAP< I DONT CARE, BECAUSE IT WASNT MY FAULT.

I am in no way an angry or mean person, but you people have given me a migraine. I see why all the rom devs hide from here so much

THERE IS NO POINT IN ROOTING THIS PHONE YET PEOPLE, SO STOP.. OMG PLEASE STOP LOL

IT HAS BEEN DONE!!! lol

After 3 days, sleepless night and 5 min from returning the phone, Together with the Awesome Cursordroid We have achieved full root of the fender mytouch/ Mytouch 1.2 revision.

Now.. Understand.. not many will have the fender Mytouch.. but this is the hardware they WILL be using in the fully confirmed Mytouch 1.2

If you do not follow my instructions fully, NOTHING WILL WORK.

Start by making a working gold card, pay VERY CLOSE attention to what the instructions for making a gold card say

http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/14/how-to-root-your-mytouch-3g/

READ READ READ. DO NOT download the SAPPimg.zip file it says on that page.

Get the top fixed SPL file 2010 from here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4332591&postcount=1

Once you have you working goldcard (remember, apply to PHYSICAL not LOGICAL) rename the fixed SPL/rom you just downloaded to SAPPIMG.img

Put that file on your gold card

Hold volume down while hitting power

You will boot into Hboot, and if goldcard was made correcly and file is in root, it will begin to read. MAke sure battery is full or chargeing. follow on screen directions for flashing. Reboot into Hboot.

You are now screwed with a downgraded SPL and radio that do not work on this phone YAAAAAAY.

Now grab the stock radio and SPL from Cursordroid here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5451898&posted=1#post5451898

From there on follow hiw directions for reupdating your radio and spl, plus give yourself a new recovery making ROOT.

Im not good at tutorials or typing on a tiny netbook keyboard so please forgive. Anyquestions please ask and I will go into more detail

In order

Goldcard

Amen ras fixed spl rom renamed SAPPIMG.img

Boot into Hboot volume down/power

let rom install saying yes to what it says. If it works..

Now boot into your recovery through fastboot

Flash phone with stock fender rom

reboot into fastboot

back out of update when it asks and flash STOCK radio and SPL back, now reboot

your splash screen for fender IS GONE, get over it. You can make a new one later if you realllly need to.
