Thanks for understanding I wasnt trying to be an ass. Ive just got a list of people on Gtalk all of a sudden that need their hands held and trying to help people in other countries with different time zones can get to you lol.

Basically the board revision we have in our fenders is what will be in the new version of the Mytouch 1.2 thats coming out. Since we got this out there right away (literally 4 days after it was released) it can be worked on by those that know it is the new revision of the mytouch and not just a by itself Limited edition board.

Im just waiting till I can run 2.1 again
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] civicsi89:
For some reason I keep getting a model id incorrect.:confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
that means your gold card is not a gold card. Try again, or start over on new card. I realize I didnt go into to much depth on this.. But its not for the first time rooters. Seriously, unless this is your second phone or just a toy DO NOT BOTHER. there are no roms yet, and there is no pros to rooting it yet at all. Give it a few weeks, wait for roms, wait for a better tutorial or an easier method. It may be possible to get a package made to flash over the spl and radio in recovery. It also may be possible later to use the correct 32a recovery that we cant use now.

Be patient. I did it just to see if I could, because thats what I do lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] civicsi89:
Fair enough. Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
I BEG YOU stop gtalking me if you have no clue as to what your doing. I am more then happy to help a compotent person, but if you cant even understand the simplest of things, you cant do this. If you dont know what rooting is, If you dont know what Apps2sd is.. If you dont understand that NOTHING CAN BE DONE YET please do not bother me.

Again, I am more then happy to help, but if you have to ask me the same question 13 times, and I give you the same answer... then you ask me again in a different way.. It just gives me a headache. Im gona change the tutorial, and Im only giving my Gtalk to people who PM me, This is insane at the stupidity of some people in this forum. I understand why half the rom devs leave here. Its ridiculous
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chrys9989:
Any idea why, the normal speaker doesnt work anymore. Phone and music, only play through headphones. Does this happen for anyone else?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
lol.. Didnt check that yet. Rooted then boxed it up. Even with the stock fender rom, we may still be missing somethings. But I got the untouched kernel out there, and wes has already added the new drivers to the GIT... So its a matter of when they get the time to do anythign for it. But for right now.. not sure about this problem, ill check tonight.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] civicsi89:
Mine is working just fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chrys9989:
Nevermind, I did something backwards. Got it working.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP

For the love of whatever just stop rooting this damn phone.

Seriously. It mind bogeling at how many people have decidedf to not only get the fender as thier first android phone.. but to root it right away.

There have been exactly 5 of you that have followed my instructions. the others are the ones having the problems.

Stop posting new threads, stop spamming me with ridiculous requests like you sending me your phone and me having to overnight it back to you with my own money lololol

There are no roms fo rthis phone. YOU MUST reupgrade the stock spl and radio for the stock rom to work.

just stoppit people. your driving me nuts.

This doesnt go for those of you I helped, this si for those that i refuse help because they dont deserve it and cant do simple tasks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yblek83:
Here's an idea, don't make a thread showing how to root this phone IF you are getting bugged by people asking you questions. Also, if you are SO BUGGED with questions, leave the damn site fool.

I have never come across a thread on this site with someone being such a pompass ass such as yourself.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
Excuse me??

I dont know who you think you are.. but I have had to edit this thread many times. I made it to help people.. Then I had people taking advantage of that.. then I had people Gtalking me on my g1 at 4 am.. Then I had people asking me if they shipped thier phones to me, would i root it then pay the $25 to overnight it back to them..

I had many ridiculous requests.

I made this thread because I was the first and I wanted to help others.

but I have had to put DONT many times because I dont want people bricking thie rphones fo rno reason.

Also..

You litteraly came in here just to post to insult me.. what does that say about you.

I am not normaly an angry person or an asshole, but the people of this site, the ones that want you to walk them through talking to them like they are 2 and you are potty training them.. its a stressful bit of ****e.

So im sorry if you took offense to me not being able to tolerate the stupidity here. Why do you think there are only 5 real devs here now.. The others got tired of all the soap opera BS here and left.

Troll
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] c-phresh:
its good to see so much progress so quickly on this phone... i have the new 1.2 mytouch (well ive had it for a while) and im gonna hold out on rooting this till theres a way to run cyanogen... im still attached to my original rooted mytouch lol...

thanks crypysmoker for your work bro!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
i can careless if there's no roms developed i jus want to be able to tether internet as i can do with original MT3G 32b.... i was able to get a New MT3G 1.2 and would like to sell my original asap. that being said i do use internet tether for alot so i would like to root it asap... but if u recommend waiting.. how long do you think it will take for a custom rom? not only that is this root instructions it or will a better how to be posted??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] texasaggie1:
You are the man!

Great job on rooting the mytouch 1.2!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] davenull:
Kernel drivers.

I am taking it that the main issue here with the touch screen is the kernel modules for the touch screen have been changed from the 'normal' phones. There may actually be hope of taking the stock kernel from the Fender Rom and tossing it into Cyanogen, resigning, and everyone having all sorts of awesome. I may be wrong, I havent done any work with the Adnroid OS itself, but I have been a Linux engineer for a few years, I assume if the kernel is still built and packaged like a moderately normal kernel, its just a swap out and all is kosher. I don't know how to resign a ROM zip, so I really can't test all that much out at this time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] evo9mrjr:
Ok i need to root my mt3g 1.2 i got today comming from a rooted g1 and im tring to find out how to root which method and all that good stuff if i cant find out soon how to get this damn phone rooted im returning it.... i need to many programs that only run on rooted phones so can someone point me in the right direction and ill take over from there thanx a milli
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] civicsi89:
read the first post and it tells you how to root it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ryanoption:
Yea but that post needs refining.Dude lost touch screen on all the ROM...Cyanogen's Wiki is up to date..just google it..Read about 32A users..As of this month,Feb.,there are NO ROMS for this phone so ya gotta do what the first dude did...get root on the stock ROM.This is my first android phone and would really like to have root access.I'm studying OS,Linux being one of them so all of this info is intriguing to me.If we can get a clear cut method of rooting this model phone lets post it here
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
its not that hard if u read read read you'll get it... dont just read the op read the whole thread you'll find a link to other threads where you need to do more reading....

its basicly....

make gold card

put sappimg/rom 2010 on goldcard

flashing sappimg via hboot/fastboot

install stock radio via fastboot

install stock spl via fastboot

install amen_ra's custom recovery

boot in to recovery

install stock fender rom with root via amen_ra's recovery

done!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] AngioNicholai:
so after this everything is good.... does everything work on fender rom ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
yes everything works... i saw some people where complaining that some protective apps werent showing up in the market.. but i found that its not just rooted fender/1.2 mt3g its all fender/1.2 mt3g.. some bug to do with google market and the new mt3g's.. you can find out more about it in google support pages... but to answer your question yes everything works
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] AngioNicholai:
sweet thank you... ill try it now :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
yeah im sorry my instructions are all over the place. it was very late and took me many hours of work.

The only working rom is the fender rom. Look in android themes section for Criffmons themed versions, he did really good work on them and they look much btter then stock. Give us just a few more weeks to figure out why we cant get the fender kernel to work with any other roms.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] AngioNicholai:
ah ok, its okay as long as i have root i can wait for anything :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] estan_0223:
Restore Stock

Does anyone have any method for getting back to stock? I went through this root process and somehow have no speaker, in calls or media. Anybody have a back up or the original images to restore this thing. I have the myTouch 1.2 Black and got all the way to the Fender rom with root to realize the sound is not working. I am about to take this thing back and get the original myTouch.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bettasplash:
Did you install the correct radio image? if so maybe try a wipe and then reinstall the stock fender image. Other than that i am not much help for you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] estan_0223:
Yes. I struggled a bit at first but then I finally got through all of the steps from the beginning of this thread. Goldcard worked fine. Radio, spl and recovery all right along with the instructions. Flashed back to provided stock rom with root and that seemed to go fine. Tried to make a call this morning and no sound.

Just want to get back to stock, if that's possible. Not sure if any one has the original radio, spl or sappimg files to get me back there. I am either going to try again now that I got it figured out, or I am taking this thing back and getting the original!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
did you get the stock radio and spl and flash it before the custom recovery from here http://xdaforums.com/show...=1#post5451898

here is the direct link to the stock radio and spl Download and extract this ZIP file. http://www.theandroidkitchen.com/fil...ckRadioSPL.zip
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shawn1224:
Question

I followed the steps specifically to create a Goldcard, then downloaded the SPL File: "ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010) - MD5 : F9674D19BE5F949D0D9DC99714D210E3" from the link posted ... renamed the zip file to "SAPPIMG.img" and placed it on the Goldcard. But when I boot into Hboot it starts to run but says "No Image" after each line and goes back to Hboot screen.

Could anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
try taking off the . img and leave it as just sappimg.. in reality it will be sappimg.zip then try it.. is it dosent work then u need to attempt to do another goldcard...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shawn1224:
Thanks, ceas909 ... that's exactly what it was.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shawn1224:
I figured it out
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] domuhhnic:
im having trouble making an gold card. first of all its not letting me run the qmat or the psas program that is used to "reverse" the CID. anyone here can help me out?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wpbcubsfan:
Here you go, found this on another forum: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...5824/small-tool-for-goldcard-code-generation/

Just input your CID and it'll reverse it and add the zeros for you. The spreadsheet is attached to this post.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ASSHORN:
Hello everybody.

I've found rather clear explanation of rooting Fender LE here it is.

But still I've an error - see attached photo of booting, please.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/25063347@N06/4450439841/

What's it and how it can be fixed, if any?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ryanoption:
noticed in your pics your flashing sappdia something?Rename the zip file to sappimg and try again...then continue on with unlockrs instructions
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KingSkeme:
Damn man I can get a HD2 for 30 dollars...is there anyway I can unroot this phone or atleast put the mytouch splash screen back on??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
Rename the file SAPPIMG.zip, If thats what it is, Name it SAPPimg.img
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ASSHORN:
unfortunately, it doesn't help.

I've made godcard as it was shown at unlockr - I have no cardreader, so I mounted 2 GB Sandisk on my Nokia 5800, connect it as USB device and format the card as FAT32 with 32 Kb cluster under Windows Vista SP1. I've recently mentioned that someone in the nearest thread tried to do it under Vista as well, but failed and eventually made it under WinXP. May it be the only problem?

Still, if the goldcard was made successfully, it wouldn't show any errors like mine?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
All I know is noone making their godlcard with a phone rather then a $1.99 reader had failed. It needs to be seen as its own removable drive rather then a card in a phone..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ASSHORN:
But if I manage to find an adapter for microSD to full-sized SD and insert it to internal card-reader, it will be ok, won't it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
yes, as long as its in its own reader and not mounted in a phone, psp etc...

Also, make sure you apply the gold card img to the PHYSICAL and not LOGICAL version otherwise you will get the same result. Also, do not use one goldcard.img for another sd card, they are all different. Only time it needs to be in phone before start is to get the CID
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wpbcubsfan:
crypysmoker - any luck with Wes' new Fender tests?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
Nothing yet, but rest assured the moment we have a working rom and I am given the go ahead to post, it will be up. But, We may get our offcial 2.1 before one is made at this point. The kernel for this board revision is just a pain in the ass to incorporate into other kernels. It has to be built from scratch and wes doesnt have a fender to test on.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] AngioNicholai:
not much of a pain ;-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
How is it not exactly?

If it wasn't "much of a pain" I think that we would have had this done by now.

I know that there is this guy that has done it with a few roms but can't do it with all (like Cyanogen roms) and he said that he's working on a Sense 2.1 rom for about a month now... I wonder what happened to him.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
The guy you quoted is the one who did the ports.. But he just slapped the fender kernel on top and you see how they came out.

Rather then just shove the kernel in, we need to integrate it completly.

I appreciate th eports he tried to make, but they were just thrown together quickly and as most of you saw, didnt work worth a damn.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Yeah I know this... I was just being a bit sarcastic.

And I'm using his ported version of St0kes 2.1 but less than half the crap works.

Then the fact that he says "not much of a pain ;-)" just pisses me off because we have REAL developers working on this that can't get this to work yet his work is half a$s. Several times we asked for his source and he straight out ignored us. I also appreciate the ports that he did for us but it seems like all he did was replace the ramdisk of the ported roms in the fenders boot.img and repackage it and took credit like he designed the rom itself because let's face it... it's either stock or an incomplete ported rom. I hate stock.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] C0dy:
I tried Stokes, but my contacts wouldn't show up, so I switched back to Stock. I'm really hoping for a Hero ROM or Cyanogen Mod to be compatible with the Mytouch 1.2.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] el_plebillo:
My problem is that every one of those sappimg files I download are corrupted,

I've tried different files I had from my previous MT3G, but no go.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
If they are ALL corrupted it is somethign you are doing dont you think? considering your the only one with that problem.

The Unlockr redid my TUT on his site with correct links. So try there.

New Kernel

Dont think too many people are scrounging through this thread to find answers to the touchscreen/audio-jack issue, but...

compiling a new kernel with some additions and using the default .config from the 1.2... adding some tweaks here and there. the phone without root is calling on the synaptics touchscreen driver, but is it possible its a different version of RMI? 4? What driver is the G1 and the mytouch 3g (non fender) using? as far as the audio-jack drivers. Since I dont have root on my phone i cant really get in there and mess around. Perhaps using some modified generic drivers? Does the N1 have a 3.5mm? Any devs have any insight, please let me know.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SteezyR:
I keep attempting to root my fender mytouch but everything I get to the SAPPimg and go into the boot mode (volume down and power) i always get a wrong ID and i double checked everything and i have the right numbers and all. any help?

De-Odexed Stock Rom

I have taken a few minutes to de-odex the stock rom so it will make theming a bit easier (and other minor modifications). I hope it helps somebody (everybody).

De-Odexed MyTouch Fender/LE 32a Stock

edit:

discovered today that the music app forcecloses after de-odexing this. Anyone have an idea why?

My own theory is that the music app requires something in the framework that since de-odexed, is causing the fc's.

Confirm?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] medmansri:
Can anyone help please?

Just got the 1.2, am a noob, tried to root.

Following this tutorial: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/

Everything has gone smoothly until this: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.

With that command, I get the error: FAILED (remote:image update error)

I'm a bit lost at this point. If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it.

If needed, currently it says:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
Well... First your error doesnt make any sense if thats the SPL you have...

Your supposed to flash the recovery just after using the gold card to dongrade.

Remore failed is when you have a secured (perfected) SPL, which at this point you dont so I think you may have gotten something backwards.

Try to start from scratch.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] medmansri:
So I started over, from after Goldcard

Got the sappimg from the tutorial and tried to update, but now it's stuck at the first step- system -unzipping. It's never done that before.

EDIT: You can probably ignore the above. Just tried to flash recovery again and the same message appeared.

Crypysmoker, I've noticed you were helping another member with the same kind of issue: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=668351&page=3. I hope I'm not at the point of bricking my phone. Could you point to a guide thats easier or foolproof? at this point I just want the phone to work. thanks for your help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] medmansri:
I'm still getting stuck at the same spot. Recovery.img flash is failing.

This is what i'v done:

1. sappimg.zip on goldcard

2. flashing in hboot = successful

3. restart phone into fastboot

4. fastboot flash radio radio.img = successful

5. fastboot flash hboot hboot.nb0 = successful

6. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img = ERROR: FAILED (remote:image update error)

I'm using recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img

Am I missing something?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dee000000:
If your rebootng dont just flash all of them at once and then restart
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Adamsville MITM:
if the recovery image file is named recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img

then type that: "fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img"

if its named something else type the exact name of it

You flash recovery first. Otherwise you are blocking fastboot commands with a perfected hboot
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] medmansri:
I was following these instructions: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/

Tried it multiple times to no avail. Tried flashing Radio 1st, then Recovery 2nd but still got the error. Well I guess I won't be doing anything anymore because I managed to brick the phone. yes, it wouldn't turn on, wouldn't boot and wouldn't charge.

So I took it back to tmobile and luckily exchanged it for another one. I don't think I have the marbles to try this again, just yet. First phone I've ever bricked, and I feel a bit ashamed. Strange, thought I followed every bit of those instructions precisely.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Adamsville MITM:
I followed the very same instructions last week... perfectly rooted and still running superD1.10.3
