I've already tried that, didnt work for me, got "Invalid device ID" however, I cannot make a gold-card because I always get "damaged sd card" or windows says I need to format it right. I'm 100% sure I did it right to three different SD cards, and I still got the same error.

--edit-- if you successfully make a goldcard for this phone, Ill pm you for shipping info LOL!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 5[Strogino]:
I think, your current way will not end with success.

Wrong model id or device id means, that HTC decided pick out Fender in another serie. Yes, i agree, that Fender has same SPL as Magics, but trying flash anything, that has another model id like trying flash Hero's ROM to Tattoo.

SPL ia like a computer's BIOS. SO if you flash foreign bios - your comp will probably die....

Saddened by the fact that Fender is limited edition. So it will not have big knowledgebase like Magic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chrys9989:
While the Fender is le, the mt3g 1.2 is the same hardware, so hopefully someone will get it figured out.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 5[Strogino]:
Oh. Chances growing up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chrys9989:
I'm new here, but typically how do people go about getting the attention of devs? Is it just create a thread an hope enough people show interest? Should we do a roll call of how many actually are interested in rooting this phone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
No.. I got the gold card made. The only reason it ever comes up as damged or reformat is because you applied the goldimg to the logical drive which is at top of list as opposed to Physical REMOVABLE DISK at the bottm. Its the only time I can get the error. but if I apply the goldimg to the logical drive it makes a perfect goldcard everytime. I tested it on aspar g1. So... its not a godl card problem lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
Looking through here for HTC RUU roms I seem to keep geeting dragged to the hero and WinMob forums which I dont think I should be. Where exactly would I find this?

My ideas are..

Find a rom of higher version that is rooted see if it works.

Find an older 1.5 build (which is proving hard) and go from there

Try and flash the rooted fender donut over it and see the results.

My main problem with this is, I dont think its able to be downgraded past 1.6.. Just like newer PSP's cant be downgraded to 1.5
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
After formatiing my 2gb sandisk (which may be the problem) now when using the 98mb SAPPIMG.zip I get "Main version is older" instead of "Device id failed"

Is this a good sign to on the right track? Im going to try the 62mb SappIMG.zip from amon ra's tut as soon as its done downloading and see if theres a difference.

Now.. what does main version is older mean? The firmware or the spl/radio. if so... is there a newer version i can use/or substitute a file for the Sappimg.nbh to just install a higher version rom.

Man.. The G1 is so much easier to do all this with lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
YEEEEES. Ok. I freaking fracking diddley did it. OMG i was sooo scared.

Wooo So happy now.

I unable to update my OP and thread title if a mod can help me with that.

If noone minds I am going to post my first ever tutorial on something. this was a real pain but I am up and running on Amon ras latest rom for now. On to the recovery....

EDIT-- Got a fully functioning Manups 2.1 1.5 going. THEBLUECOAT if you want to know how to do it PM me... Otherwise give me about an hour or so and I will have a full tut posted

AHHH.. EVEN worse.. I noticed now that it says I have a 32b board NOOOO

EDIT2- Such a dumbass I didnt make a backup of the orignal. Poop.. I liked the boot image and music apps. I just wish I could figure out why all roms so far dont recognize the touch screen as being there and want me to use the track ball. Even power button has 1 option Power off lol

UMMM touch screen not working. What didnt I do?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thebluecoat:
How do I get my SDCARD to not show up under logical, its under logical but the drive says "removable disk" all I have are phones to use, would this not be possible or would I need a driver replacement
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
you HAVE to use a card reader. thats where your problem has been. You have to use a card reader so that it sees the reader AND the card seperatly. So in hex, you dont see Logical drive then a row and then Physical and a row?

Im not pissed... I had the 2010 eng spl... trying to flash roms. No rom would use touch screen. so started over and ened up with a 32 b board now and a perfected spl again.... lol Argh... trying through it again now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chrys9989:
Ok, so how did you get the spl changed? and what did you flash that was 32b?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
I used Amen ras newest Fixed spl fix 1.33.2010, made my gold card, renamed that file to SAPPIMG.zip, went into Hboot and it flashed without a problem.

I then rebooted into Hboot seeing the new Info.. Didnt look at the 32a/32b part yet so not sure if it happened there.

It then rebooted into whatever rom that file came with (look for Amen ras Fixed spl thread) the rom came up, with no tocu screen. only the track ball worked.

I rebooted and stupidly jumped right into flashing a couple of the new clair builds from king and.. the othe rguy lol. neither had touch support. I then went back to update to manups newest and used the 32a port file, and no touch screen...

I then rebooted and flashed the amen ra rom and rebooted into a Mytouch boot loop... went into Hboot and had a perfected spl and S-on. ARGH.

Just started from scratch again. Im really wondering why i loose touch screen support and why in the hell it say 32b now
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] resynx:
Oh, I never unzipped it, didn't think I had to. I just downloaded the file onto my computer. Thanks for all the help you guys are providing me, lemme go try this again.

Edit: Unzipping the gold card worked! Alright thanks so much for everyones help here! I woulda been still stuck at the sappimg file if it wasn't for you guys.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mulletcutter:
Re: [THUNK AND FIXED] Rooting Mytouch Fender LE 32a/ Mytouch 1.2 DONT!!

No problem....gold card is the hardest part
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] resynx:
Haha yeah, I just wish the Unlockr instructions would've told me to unzip it. Hey, is there anyway to get trackball notifications? And to get multitouch on the home screen?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mulletcutter:
with handcent you can light your trackball when u get a txt....dont no bout the multitouch,
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] resynx:
Oh nevermind, already got the multitouch on the home screen. Thought it wasn't working earlier for some reason haha. And I don't think Handcent gives the constant notification though. Like as in the trackball will constantly start blinking every few seconds to notify you that something's come in.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TCDroid:
sappimg.zip disappears

:confused: ok i made a gold card and put the sappimg.zip on it then when i reboot in to hboot it says there is no file. Then when i fully reboot the phone and mount it there's nothing on the card any explanation i remade my gold card twice... btw this is a pny 4gb sdcard as far as i new it didn't matter what the size was as long as the file will fit thanks..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] knny1491:
Reformat the card in your phone and then restart the goldcard procedure.

can you use the one-click rooting for the fender mytouch? there are links for the 32a and 32b on theunlockr.com
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
HOnestly?? really.... DO you think I went through this process and chance of bricking my beautiful phone without trying every other method out there first?

I guess they charge for common sense now when your born now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TCDroid:
Thanks i found out the sdcard itself was bad i used another and it worked just fine
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rpesigan6:
i followed the instructions on the first page and im stuck at the: fastboot boot recovery.img ... it stays at the htc magic screen.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] macdizzle:
15 unlocked, 2 stuck at flash recovery

I've been using the wiki.cyanogenmod Full Update Guide - Fender/1.2 --> "Rooting myTouch 3g 1.2/ Fender LE (3.5mm jack)" to unlock a series of myTouch 3G 1.2 (3.5mm jack).

The guide worked perfectly smoothly for 15 phones (using these for surveying purposes, not to resell), but so far 2 have gotten stuck at step 13 of installation, when the flash recovery fails:

writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: image update error)

At this point, I can still power up the phone into HBOOT, and with the SD card in am given the option to update (which I've already done). But the phones appear to no longer be charging when connected to the computer (no yellow light). So, in the case of the first one, the battery eventually died, preventing further attempts to try the process over.

As far as I can tell, the phones are not different from others that I have successfully unlocked. What might be different about them? Might it be the SD card?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] AustinAce:
Okay I have a serious issue with this phone, I'm trying to create the goldcard, but it's not working.

I've used a kingston 2GB and 16Gb sandisk

and no matter what I do it always asks me to reformat it after it's getting pathetic.

Yes it says goldcard.img and it's not in a zip.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
I have confirmed as of this morning on 3 phones that Universal Androot is working perfect on our phones. USe this program, then use ADB to install your recovery, then use recovery to flash your rom. Simple and takes about 20min tops
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xmajinx99:
OK, im stuck now. I cant bypass the Google Activation on the Mytouch 3g because I dont have a data plan.. Is there any way i can use universal androot to bypass it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] C0dy:
When you flash the rooted stock ROM, you can just skip activiation.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xmajinx99:
How would I root it though? I dont want to make a gold card, and just want to to use universal androot, but I cant even access my phone.. I want to root it obviously to skip it but cant use gold card method either.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
You have to run the androot app on your phone. which roots the phone.... then you install a custom recovery through terminal or adb... THEN, when you are able to flash a new rom ALL custom roms are already with root. So no need to run aagin
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mistere372002:
Androot

One other option is the run the app (Universal Androot) then install busy box from the market. Download Rom Manager and install clockworkmod recovery and then use Rom Manager to flash the new rom.

Unsed on my TMO MyTouch 3g 3.5mm. Worked great!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jaidedfocus:
Just wanted to know if this is still the correct method for rooting a MyTouch. I'm looking to root my wife's phone so she can install an Eclair or Froyo Rom on her device. Just wanted to make sure this was the correct way to do it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mistere372002:
It works perfectly
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pjw111:
AND that was easy thanks to you guys!!!!!!

The only thing was going throught the 5 sd cards till one worked. Believe it or not, a Sandisk 1g was the one that worked.

I am fully functional rooted on a 1.2!!!!

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Blaggah:
Mannnn, ive tried all three procedures and none seem to work for me.. I first did the gold card way and it didn't work because i don't have a kingston micro sd card.. I have a 4gb sd kingston but not a 2gb like they said on the unlockr dot com. I've tried the universal androot, failed, and lastly i've tried the superoneclick way, it failed everytime sayin that it failed to copy superuser onto my phone but i could see it under my apps.. Someone please help..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mi|enko:
It may be like when the MyTouch was first rooted. We had to flash the 32a radio, and it recognized it as a 32a device, then we had to flash it back to be a 32b with the radio and engineering spl.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thebluecoat:
I just screwed myself over too...

Successfully created goldcard on a non sandisk. Used a 65.4mb sappimg which had a vodaphone splash screen, then htc magic, then it went to htc and booted up with no touch screen support I was like :O, then I flashed to another sappimg called 2.16.707.3_-_sappimg, testing it right now for touch support so I can get in and use flashrec...

Yuck... bad... no good, I hope I get my phone back. Mine says 32b now as well although my HBOOT has changed! sweet!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
lol What the hell did we do lol. Maybe we should stop for fear of bricking.....

I found a way to revert to 32a raio, check Amen ras sig... right now working on 3rd step of starting from scratchw ith older rom base.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thebluecoat:
i dont care what rom I put on on this point, I cant even touch the android to get in...

edit--- sooooo pissed, im on a stock htc magic rom now and it says "touch android to begin setup"

I try to touch it, and it won't recognize my touch.... im losing hope that I can even get ANYTHING

to work on this now... my info is this now too btw:

SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32B SHIP S-ON H <<< used to be 32A S-ON G

HBOOT- 1.33.0009 (SAPP31000) << used to be 1.33.0013

RADIO-3.22.20.17

MAY 8, 2009,21:02-32
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thebluecoat:
Yep... screwed... Just used the highest SPL that AMON_RA had and it takes me right to home screen but it does not recognize my touch, I can use all buttons but not the touchscreen.

edit--- I am on an HTC magic 1.5 operating system now, anyone have any suggestions what to do when you cant type anything in?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jason kitchens:
That blows, hopefully its not all lost. I might have a mytouch with a eng spl with s-off. Not 100% sure, its not in my hands as of yet. Reported to be a fender 32a. Not sure if it would help the effort to root the 32a fender but if it can I would love to help out.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thebluecoat:
Yes, Id love the stock SAPPIMG. Can any dev help me out?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
I just cant understand what would cause us to loose the touch abilities. it really doesnt make any sense. I can get any rom I want to load through booting recovery in fastboot... but not one rom will let me touch android. Even old roms that dont even go throughg oogle setup will not allow touch. its lieks the drivers arent there because all it wants is the trackball. I dont even know who to ask on this one

i really want to know whay iy now says its a 32b.... thats what sux. maybe ill try a g1 rom/32b and see
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thebluecoat:
Cant return the phone because it's a limited edition, yay for us. We both have wooden bricks, and may be out of another $130 for insurance deductible.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
naaaa.. Phone boots, we have recovery through fastboot, we can load roms.... Its just basis of why no touch screen. Which is a software issuse obviously.

Im going to try a straight 32b rom now.... then Im going to update my spl and radio and try the fender dump. If that brings it back.. then Ill find out what is missing between it and the other roms. you brave enought o try? lol. I think we should ask a couple of the normal 32a developers to help us out.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thebluecoat:
Let me know how it goes after you try to get back to the fender port. If it works im going back on that and leaving it for now because the way I see it, if no other roms work on our devices we have definite hardware differences than other mytouch 3g's and we wont see a re-work for us at all.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
Well i folloded the directiong on how to change to the 6.35 radio and all that in order to flash the fender rom.. and now I have no recovery, and cannot get inot recovery. Adb and phone say its uploading and then it reboots but stays on htc magic screen. I dont think this radio works for this phone ... gona start from scratch again lol.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ashshlay:
Fastboot recovery

Then try a hero rom from the hero forums.

Use fastboot now to flash a new recovery too.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
Thats not our problem.. Any rom we flash we loose our touch screens.. leaving it impossible to do anything but turn the phone off. You cant click the android to start if theres no clky clicky. I just tried to do the who old radio, flash fender rom and the hero recovery will not work. I had to go back through and change spl and radio again in order to get my recovery back.

I cant beging to explain how mad I was when the Manup eclair made it all the way through boot and into setup to have no touchy.

Ok With 2010 SPL and 3.xxx radio I got the fender rom to boot... WITH NO TOUCH lo. it also gives a new error saying the swype has encontered a problem....... this phone is weird

God I wish I had made a nandroid when I first got root.. but of course after 3 days I was to excited. I also wish I had the exact spl and radio to reflash. I now have a brick. I may take it back for a return tomrrow and say look I cant sign in, the touch screen doesnt work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Maybe tmobile got smart?

AHHAHAHAHAHAHA wtf did I just say?!

No seriously, think they got smart?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
Even unrooting it doesnt help. ANYONE WHO HAS THIS PHONE.. before you do anything please, make a nandroid of your phone.. I need it to see if I can reapply it and get touch screen working again. If so, then that means tha hardware is set to that SPL and/or radio which sux.

13 roms... not one has touch. And the fender rom.... no touch lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
ok my question before I atempt to take a 1,6 based phone back with 1.5 on it....

what could possibly be missing/needed to get touch screen support?

Since even flashing the fender rom causes problems... Is it something with the spl/radio?

Should I be asking this in the dream forums since there seems to be noone here?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thebluecoat:
I wonder if I can get a new one through warranty exchange based on the story that I feel I got jipped, when I boot my phone up it says "mytouch 3g" and not the fender editon splash, and the touch screen stopped working
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
If you want, I can upload a rooted version of the completely stock Fender Edition ROM for your phones.

The Fender Edition ROM for 6.35 radio is modified quite a bit actually, it's not stock.

EDIT: I made one anyway, here you go.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
Awesome. thank you. gona try now.

But im still on the idea that the never seen 0013 spl and 2.23 radio it came with are the main facotrs in our problems here, and your problems with no GPS.

But gona try this now, thank you. God I hope it works.

AND... Someone please tell me HOW After this I still have "SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32b SHIP S-on G

It has now switched from 32a H to 32bG.... Anyway of changing this back?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 5[Strogino]:

WOW... after 3 days WE GOT IT. THANK YOU CursosDroid... you are one of the only happily helpful people here.

A tut will be up within the next couple hours.

ONLY 1 ROM IS WORKING AS ON NOW, and that is the stock fender rom.. but WE HAVE ROOT
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] C0dy:
So, form what I'm reading its a pain in the ass to root the Fender edition?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
lol YEs.. Like the old psp days.. We have to fully downgrade as far as possible to flash a recovery, then reupgrade everything back to its original state.

MORE SO.... This is the board that will be shipping with the Mytouch 1.2 that is supposed to be out in the next 2 months.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] stevenege:
Ohhhhhh...... I can not wait for this Tut... I am dying to root this phone.

I don't care about the ROM, I personally love the ROM that comes with it.

I just want my Tether back :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mayormullet:
You should be able to run pdanet just fine for tethering.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] stevenege:
I had no idea about that App.... FML..

Many thanks to you for that :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
There is no wireless tethering in the new kernel. but normal tether can be downloaded from market. Your tut is up there. Cant really get anymore detailed. You gota make a goldcard, you have to use the perfected SPL fixes linked at top renamed as the downgrade file SAPPIMG.zip, then follow cursor droids instructions for flashing the stock radio and spl back after flashing the G recovery and not the H.

Problems are mainly because of the drivers for the headphone jack.

When the kids are asleep later when insomnia kicks in I will replace my half assed tut for a more detailed one.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thebluecoat:
I just realized after repairing to this rom that the screen does not orient when rotating the phone, are you experiencing this too?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Charbo:
so if I use the method you described in your first post, will I have to use the cursordroid stock root rom or can I use any 32a rom? I would really like to put the sense ui from the rogers rom on it if thats possible but I dont want to lose my extra ram by it thinking im on 32b or something...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
I dont mean to sound like a ****... plus its 7am..

But it says the only rom that will work is the stock fender rom right....... So.. if we could use others I might put that right..............

See the little headphne jack on top.....That takes different hardware and drivers.... So.. the only one that works witht ouch screen is the rom that came with the phone.

There are 4 different people working on the kernel and driver changes. This is a brand new phone, please be patient. Hell i just got it rooted yesterday. The board says 32A but iv been told the kernel is set up so different that it resembles a 32B whch makes it that much more difficult. The roms will come... but think about it in reality terms... this is new hardware NOONE has worked on yet. The roms will come, give the cookers time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Charbo:
lol sorry man. I have the stock root rom running right now and its working great. I was only wondering because I have been following your progress for a few days. I guess I missed the part that said it was the only working rom right now, but I really appreciate your guy's work getting it this far.
