The Limited Edition (fender) and the MT3G 1.2 (ones with headphone jacks on top) are IDENTICIAL, the only difference is a different paint job on the casing, one comes with a larger SDhc card, and one ships with a different assortment of apps. Internal hardware... they're identical.

Doesn't CM 4.2.15.1 have the 2.6.29 kernel? That's what Eclair is based off of. If Eclair mostly works based on an old ass stock kernel, it should work in theory on our patched CM kernel.

Worked perfect on the first go! Great job. Your directions were direct and to the point. I wish I would have found your link 3 days sooner! ;) My girl would be alot happier right now. lol:p

Ok, I've been getting mixed signals about the 2.22.23.02 radio. I was told here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6487685&postcount=1029 that it was a 32b radio and not letting me use the full amount of RAM. Was this guy right about the 2.22.23.02 radio?

So I've been trying to flash the 3.22.23.18 or 3.22.20.17 radios with the 1.33.2010 eng spl. But i've been having the "SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A" problem and can't boot to recovery. I've tried every combination possible and have not been successful. I can always go back to 1.33.0013 and 2.22.23.02 by using my goldcard, so i'm not to concerned. I just want to make sure i'm getting the most out of my phone. Thanks for any help/info.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
2.22.23.02 radio is wat came with your phone you cant use any other radio unless you dont want to be able to make calls..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GrandMstrBud:
Nice ROM but a few things I have to ask. How do I get the fender splash screen back, how can I get the default Eric Clapton apps and background, and how can I get the same keyboard that came with the stock ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Dude... why did you root? LOL!

Splash screen information

The keyboard is called Swype
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GrandMstrBud:
The main reason for root was to use the adroid wifi tether app. I dont' think the keyboard is a big deal because I think my son likes that Swype one and he still has all the music that came with it and I don't think he cares about the splash screen. I basically just posted because I wanted to know if it's possible. BTW, when will T-Mobile ever release 2.1 anyway?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
you could have used barnacle because it doesn't require root access or a netfilter (included in some custom kernels)

T-Mobile will probably not release 2.1 for the Fender/1.2 because the rumors are that they will probably release 2.2 instead.

(Key words are in bold)

There isn't one person in these forums that can give you a definitive date of release because even if they did know no one would believe them. And even if they did know, things change constantly in the tech world which can and usually does effect the release one way or another.

thanks didnt have a nandroid of stock. I want to revert back to get the 2.2.1 tmobile update to mess with
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DonJuan692006:
You do have the Fender correct and not just the regular 1.2?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
Problem is if you have any other recovery installed besides the stock one, the update will fail and not install. I also recommend NOT going with the OTA update because at this point there is a 40% brick rate on them :( I sadly was one. BUT... Tmobile is replacing bricked Fenders with a new Samsung Vibrant.... Guess where im going today WOOT.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] budney:
Sorry to hear that your Fender is a brick. I am still waiting for the update, but will be flashing it once I copy the cache folder. I never understood why a major update would be sent OTA, too many things can go wrong. Hope you like your Vibrant, I sure do like mine. If you have any major GPS issues just return it for another. :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] civicsi89:
I was wondering this too.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
I told you guys before... we are not going to get our Fender splash screens back because there is no way to backup the offcial rom completely. We have to downgrade in order to flash the recovery so that right there takes our splash off since the downgrade process overright the original rom.

:(

Im trying to get a pure dump, but even with that it still seems to show the HTC magic screen.

Sorry guys,but that little fender splash may be gone till someone makes one from scratch.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] philosophics:
Thank you.

Now I can put the music app on to my dream...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chrys9989:
Since you didn't root yet, can you take a shot of the splash screen for me? Maybe i can recreate it.

Any new roms?

When ever I make a change to the system files after flashing this rom, the phone won't work. Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] setzer715:
I rooted with the above directions and everything seems to work great accept I cannot download from the market. The market loads, I can search, select and Install but then it just says "Starting Download" and stays that way. It will not download anything. Anyone have any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] setzer715:
I second the netfilter, wifi tether is the whole reason to root this baby!

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] civicsi89:
Thanks for doing this!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Charbo:
does the rom with the apps and stuff work on the fender?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] civicsi89:
Yes works on Fender Mytouch. Flash cursordroid fender rom first then flash jcarrz1 verion without a wipe and you will have the Fender wallpapers, ringtones and apps back.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Cursordroid : 2 things:

#1 /etc/ppp/ip-up-vpn has wrong permissions. It precludes vpn from working. chmod a+x did the job.

#2 Could you integrate Superuser.apk from cyanogen? It works sooooo much better and looks more elegant :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ccriffman:
Hi- just thought I would tell you that crypysmoker (steve) and I gtalked while I rooted my fender this morning, and after loading your rom and the downgraded radio and engineering spl, everything is working. I wanted to make sure you knew, as in your post you of course informed us that you don't have a Fender to try it on. We also didn't run into the issue he had with changing from G to H, etc. And I used the goldcard method if anyone asks- Thanks Chris aka ccriffman

:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thebluecoat:
Has anyone found an original dump of the myTouch 3G Fender Edition?

I'm interested in selling it on ebay, but I don't think it will sell if the splash screen is different/rooted, etc.

Wrong Forum
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
i know this is a noob question but... when doing this part...

Code:

fastboot flash radio radio.img

fastboot flash hboot hboot_7201A_1.33.0013G_091021.nbo

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

... Im guessing the radio.img, spl, and recovery.img are all saved to the android sdk tools folder???
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Clarification please?

I'll be getting my MyTouch 1.2 w/3.5 mm jack (NOT FENDER) tomorrow but I'm slightly confused about whether or not the touchscreen will work afterwards.

I believe that I have successfully created my goldcard (not sure yet since I don't even have the phone yet) and put the Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010 (sappimg.zip) on the root of it.

So I flash this file and then fastboot flash the radio, hboot_7201A_1.33.0013G_091021.nb0 and recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img as per the instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5451898&posted=1#post5451898

For the recovery, should I use 1.5.2G orH?

According to Amon_Ra, I have a 32A board I flash H. 32B boards flash G. So why do the instructions say to flash G on a 32A board???

So after I do all of that then I should have root, right?

But did I understand correctly that based on what I've read that the touchscreen does not work?

I understand that there are no custom roms out there but help me figure out why should I root this if I'm losing one most basic methods of input? I also understand that we can't tether with this yet... so what do we gain from rooting? Please correct me if I'm wrong but I'll be upset if I go through all this trouble of buying a card to make a goldcard and working until 3 in the morning to get it working right just so I have even less than stock.

So bottom line... if everything works (touchscreen, headphone jack, etc) then I'll root. If not then I'm waiting for an easier and safer method. But I'll rather find out from asking than discovering the hard way.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] subline:
The touchscreen will work with this ROM but only with this ROM, if you flash any other rom ur touchscreen will not work.

Its a G recovery because its a google branded 32A phone (32A board with 32B radio and spl)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
touch screen is working after root but problem is after you root and have a rooted recovery enviorment then u must flash the original radio and spl back...so your stuck with a perfected spl again but with root.and yes the only rom avalible is the fender rom... this is why im takin my time rooting this device... we need to get some devs attn to help get some roms cookin.. because of the driver issues a reg 32a rom wont work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
RIGHT! I got it rooted and my MT3G now has this:

So I should be good, right? For now at least until a ROM is cooked for this. So many different MyTouch phones with so many different ROMs. How are we going to keep them all straight? Rhetorical question I suppose. Thanks guys.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] C0dy:
Going to root now, will post results later.

I had to use a 512mb Toshiba with a Windows XP machine. It woudn't work with Vista for some reason.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
No 3G connection?

I don't have 3G at home so when I rooted everything seemed normal. But now I'm here at work where I ALWAYS have full signal strength with a strong 3G connection. For some reason I am only on EDGE. I checked my apn and everything seems normal. Am I alone with this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bettasplash:
Thanks for the tip. i am using Vista on my laptop so i will have to try XP on my desktop. will give it a try. Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
No 3G

I don't have 3G for some reason. I tried to reflash the radio and of course it's giving me remote: not allow.

I checked the APN. Everything looks fine.

Known issue or just my bad luck?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] C0dy:
Can't root, I need to buy an extra MicroSD card for a Goldcard.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tepic:
Got root with a goldcard made with a Sandisk 1GB SD card, but pretty useless without a supported ROM. Wifi Tether doesn't even work because of no netfilter.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
So everyone except for me has 3G then? Huh. Well isn't that fancy. I guess I should call T-Mobile to return it. It doesn't make sense though. I've even pushed the apn list from the G1 roms. My G1 has perfect 3G but my MyTouch is stuck on edge. Am I really the only one? I did everything by the letter.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tepic:
Flash back to this 1.33.2010 SPL and you can reflash radio:

(I can't post links) go to showpost.php?p=4332591

Here were my steps:

1. Put that SPL on goldcard, renamed to sappimg.zip

2. Volumn down + power and flashed it

3. Fastboot and flashed radio + hboot from MT3GStockRadioSPL.zip

4. Flashed recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img

5. Reboot into recovery

6. Run MT3GFender32A-Stock-1.0-signed.zip update
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Yeah... I backed everything up with Nandroid and wiped, used the goldcard method again and reflashed the MT3GFender32A-Stock rom. I then did a restore and now it works. Very strange. Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
How difficult would it be to create a non-odex version of the Fender Stock ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
So what do I have to do to get my default T-Mobile MT3G Fender keyboard back? (Edit: nevermind, never had swype before just had to change my input method)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
So any chance someone can provide a TMobile Fender Edition Splash? Since this rom is based off the fender.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ccriffman:
Sure- I will create a splash, but keep in mind you will have to flash it with adb- But I will create one for you ( and me) if you like- I have tons of Fender images, so I will make a few.- Chris
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
I know the fastboot method, if you have the commands for adb, just let me know. Much appreciated. I tried doing my own custom after rooting with this' thread's method, but I keep getting FAILED (remote: not allow)

Probably because the MakeG1Splash method doesn't carry the same signature for this SPL
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
You need to repeat the goldcard procedure to flash from fastboot, make your modification and then flash the stock spl again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
Hrm, sounds like fun.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
I noticed after flashing this rom, there's a lot of apps not showing up in the Market, namely Paypal and a few others.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] subline:
id like the splash also I want to make it look as stock as possible so I can sell out on ebay lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
quick question.. are ota updates disabled on this??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] civicsi89:
No it should still update.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
So running this rom on my Fender for the last 48 hours or so, only problem I've run into is that market no longer shows protected apps (ie: Paypal), and Market Enabler doesn't work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
i really want to root my mt3g 1.2 but i jus dont see any point to do it... i really wish some devs would helps us out here with more rom options with wifi tether and overclock... etc... but i guess were gonna have to wait and see if anyone picks the 1.2 up and starts dev'n...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
Seeing as the 1.2 and Fender are the same (right?) wouldn't the rom in this thread work?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
yea it will but i ment other roms...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
Yea It'll be some time, but not sure why you can't do wireless tether and overclock with this rom, you'd just have to download the apk.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
from my understanding its not supported by this rom... am i wrong??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Aeikozz:
after i did this i seem to be unable to sign in on google
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
It's a "near-stock" which means other than busybox, superuser, there's no extras pre-installed. Though you can still find the wifi tethering app via apk, and can still get overclock utilities from market or online. (OP, correct me if I'm wrong obviously, just I've been able to install both on this rom).

Far as tethering goes, I prefer to use Azilink + adb + Viscosity on my macbook, since that way my connection isn't exposed to the air, but at the same time the USB cable will keep the phone charged while I browse tethered. (Also you don't need root for that method, just a computer capable of OpenVPN, the adb executable from the SDK and the Azilink apk)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] subline:
htc hasn't released the kernel yet making it much harder to get a working kernel that has both netfilter support and the needed drivers for the touchscreen and headphone jack
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
I've always wondered of course what were the technical difference between the Fender/1.2 and the usual 32A Magic, since it doesn't seem like you can use any of the "32A Magic" SPLs and Roms.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sovereignty68:
wow, i just bricked my mt3g 1.2. it says only "hTc magic" cannot enter fastboot or recovery mode. all buttons except for power button seem not working anymore.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] C0dy:
Care to explain what you did to make that happen?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
The only likely way you bricked it is by flashing the wrong radio from one of the other threads. (or perhaps you rebooted before flashing the three items from this thread).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
Did just as you said, got a faux apple boot screen at the moment.

Shall await for some fender or better splash screens before doing that again. Should note for anyone doing the same to least do a nandroid backup, so that when you do the process over again you can just restore.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
ok so im went ahead attempted to root my 1.2.. i successfuly made a gold card but when attempting to flash the 2010 hboot/rom zip file i change its name to SAPPIMG and then attemp to flash via fastboot and after it attemps to flash is says invalid device...etc.. can someone help me with this i dont understand what im doing wrong...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bettasplash:
Make sure you name it sappimg.zip i did the same thing and did not put the .zip in there and the phone did not pick it up. Hope that helps i just rooted mine lastnight and thats the only part i was having issues with.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
the phone picks it up jus gives me invalid device when flashing..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
The gold card was created with the same device? Or on another phone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] santana00:
I have a regular mt3g can I flash this rom and is there any themes for this Rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
I wouldn't it is specifically for the Fender Edition (and possibly MyTouch 3g version 1.2 with the headphone jack).

Different hardware, so you'd likely end up bricking your phone trying to flash the radio and such provided in the thread. Also you wouldn't have the required hboot to run the rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
yea i guess i tryed a different sdcard and it worked
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
I have a small 4GB for that (since my 2GB for some reason couldn't be made a gold card).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
well i used a 1g scandisk and it worked great!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
so has anyone figured out how to get private apps back in the market??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mt3g:
isn't it something with in the build.prop? rooted phones can grab the file from adb I assume, and edit with notepad++?????
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
Well didn't seem to be that simple. Even the Market Enabler app (which basically does that , but via the properties not editing the build.prop directly) didn't seem to work on the fender.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
no found out its has to do with all mt3g fenders/1.2 not jus rooted ones.. some bug with the google market and the new mt3g's...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
Though I was able to access those apps fine on my fender before rooting.

Can anyone make a concise guide on doing this? I have a feeling Im reading too much into it
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
Make gold card.

Have stock radio, Hboot and rom

Use goldcard to downgrade.

While still in fastboot mode, flash your G recovery through adb/fastboot

Reboot into recovery to see if it took,

if it did, flash the stock rom

then reboot into fastboot

Now flash stock radio then Hboot (i think thats the order lol)

then reboot.
