i've tried to follow the instructions posted but my phone seems to hang up on the vodafone loading screen. i've got root on my phone, tried ROM manager with clockwork but i couldnt get into boot options so i went with amonRA. i was able to finally get some boot options. i selected install zip and selected cyanogen6 and i get stuck in a cyanogen boot screen loop.

HTC magic 32B

any help would really be appreciated
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] genghiskav:
sorry about double post. i got my phone working :D

just kept doing a clean wipe and installing cyanogen6 and on the 3rd attempt it worked.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Core618:
Okay... finally seems to be working.

I have an HTC myTouch 3g 1.2 Fender edition.

When I would try to flash ClockWork it asks me if I have an Ion/Mythouch3G or a HTC Magic.

I kept choosing Magic, because it's HTC... but when I clicked Backup it would reboot and hang at the fender screen.

last time around I chose Ion, hit backup and it rebooted and appears to be backing up now.

Anyone else run across this problem? Or am I just braindead today?

-----

Otherwise, this worked a treat, thanks much! Sure beat all the other various methods I have seen out there!

Up and running, getting some necessary apps, such as Touchdown, back in play... although come to think of it, I may not need that anymore!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] candymanmike:
i had to choose the same option

hit home plus power again

I have a mt3g dmd64 refurb with perfect spl if you also have the mytouch and are trying to get to recory mode

hit home plus power and hold then if you get an exclamation point and a phone hit home and power again
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ekoandrew:
Thnx candymanmike you made my day. Your guide was easy to follow. Got my cell flashed and working nicely. A Big Thumb Up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] candymanmike:
glad i was able to help!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sp0njah4Life:
Thank you Candymanmike for the easy to follow guide. This will be my first time rooting a phone and I'm excited. Looking forward to running Froyo instead of Donut!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sp0njah4Life:
Complete success! Thank you!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] premier69:
nevermind, it seems that i chose wrong, not htc magic in the rom updater app but i should have chosen the mytouch 3g
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Whiterin:
Have tried this on my HTC Magic. I must say, it worked perfectly. I have been using the soft root on my Desire, but I am looking forward to it fully supporting the Desire and possibly the Galaxy S I9000.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] premier69:
yeah much cudos to the makers! I really mean it!

Tho, wi-fi performs far worse now than it did before when i had the original crappy vodafone 1.6 android.

Home Screen/App Launcher gone after Flashing CM6

I've rooted my myTouch 3G today using the directions at the beginning of this forum. I ended up having to switch to RA after not getting Clockworkmod to Backup or Boot into Recovery. I did get RA to boot into recovery. I flashed CM6 and gapps successfully. I did do a full wipe somewhere along the process (before flashing the zips).

Ok, I get passed the Cyanogen start screen and then Google asks me to agree to locations. Then nothing. Black screen. I do still get SMS messages and I'm able to read them. I was able to load everything back onto my SDCard but, I get nothing else.

I can go back into RA recovery menu but, I don't know what to do on that.

Has anyone had this problem or know what this might mean?

Oh, I'm running:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] deviouscreation:
So this is usable to some extent on the desire? What are the Soft Root limitations?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Whiterin:
Its kinda like a partial root. You have some root functions (read but not write??) and the root doesn't stay when you restart the phone. So far what I have found is that ShootMe works, SetCPU works, but I am unable to remove the Telstra crap that came preloaded. It will SHOW them as being deleted, but they are still there.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] megamikno8:
Ok, yeah, I sat for a couple of hours in a panic before I posted a message. I searched this forum and CM's forum and finally found someone with a similar issue on the CM forum.

I actually did do the suggested wipes in this thread before I flashed but, after reading the issue at the CM forum, I did all of the wipes in the RA recovery menu this time and flashed again.

The Google sign in came up, then my home screen came up. So problem solved. Sorry for posting prematurely. LOL

Whew!!!!! I was scared for a moment. LOL
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mistere372002:
For you my touch 3g 1.2 users, when you load rom manager, choose the ion/mytouch phone,don't flash clockworkmod recovery. Use RA recovery instead. This will save you some heart ache and install the rom correctly the first time. Like the poor fellow above had. RA will work everytime. Use clockworkmod for back ups and restore . Im not sure why but maybe it has to do with the mixed 32a and b thing with our phones.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Why would you switch from AmonRa to Clockwork for a backup/restore when you can do the same thing using Nandroid in AmonRa?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tofutti:
Thanks for the guide! I had the same problem as some other users where I was stuck with the exclamation mark, but I followed amedon263's instructions and used the AmonRA recovery instead and that worked wonderfully. Although I don't think I backup my old rom properly because I backed it up using clockwork and did not back it up again once i switch to AmonRA. Oh well, I'm loving cyanogen.

Can't believe I'm finally running froyo and my phone is actually being FAST for once!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Whiterin:
What device are you using? Even with my Magic running CM6 with 2.2, overclocked to 710mhz, and running JIT... it is still slowish. I have my Desire underclocked, and even when the Magic was running on higher clockspeed then the Desire and pulling out the same numbers on Linpack it was still pretty slow. Kinda thinking about just trying to use an OC kernal with the basic ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tofutti:
I meant fast relative to what I had before haha. I'm using the myTouch and it sucked so bad before that this is much faster for me, but I'm sure it's still slower when you compare it to the Desire.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Yeah the mt3g is light on ram and the processor just isn't fast enough. When I play with my friends' Galaxy S, Droid Incredible, even Droid 1, all I think is "jeez, I need a new phone."
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] megamikno8:
Yeah, I'm the fella [knowing girlish giggle].

Although candymanmike's directions were the simplest by far, someone like the person above who knows more about the installation differences in 32A and 32B and the HTC Magic, regular myTouch 3G and the Fender versions needs to add to what candymanmike has.

I only went this route because I don't want to buy a new phone just to have Froyo. I love my myTouch 3G but was just dissatisfied with 1.6, missing out on apps and how T-Mobile just wants to milk as many sales as they can before they do the next OTA update. I believe that's why they've been putting it off.

Thanks to candymanmike and everyone who contributed to this thread, I'm enjoying my phone like it's new again!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mistere372002:
Simply so that I can name it what I want. And the auto backup is nice in clockworkmod.

phone call assistance

I know this may sound odd, but would there be anyone that would be willing to walk me through the rooting proccess over the phone. I am so new to this that I would like to be able to ask questions live while you walk me through the process.

I am located in Rhode Island. Thanks a lot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] candymanmike:
by all means. this is my first android phone. all of my previous experience is with iphone and motorola p2k os. i wrote this guide literally the day after i rooted my first android. so if anyone has anything to add, feel free to either pm me or post it here. i will add it to the OP and credit you for the info addition.

here is what i have learned about the difference between 32A and 32B-

paraphrased from a couple of posts by my buddy jdyates at modmymobile (he is a member here too, but said it there. lol.)

stillthis only tells you which phone you have and not the way to go about using this guide.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
So you flash a new recovery everytime you want to create a backup? And you could easily rename it via Root Explorer (or a similar app) or your computer after the making the backup.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
The post you quoted contradicts itself. It says that mytouch 1.2 is 32b with more ram, but then it also says that mytouch 1.2 is 32a. which is it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] candymanmike:
i think he was trying to say that they are the same phone except that the 32a version has more ram. and if you have a 3.5mm jack it is always a 32a, but NOT having the jack doesn't always mean it's a 32b, apparently there are a few 32a versions floating around without the headphone jack. in which case the only real difference is the amount of ram. the mytouch 1.2 is always for sure a 32a.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Got it, thanks. I read that post and was like "wtf..." :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Marty McFly:
Thank you so much for this! I am now running Cm 6.0 on my mytouch 32b. So far so good. only one little glitch, whatever the widget is across the top of the home screen is not working it just has a box saying "problem loading widget" I restarted a couple times and still not working. Since I am new to 2.2 I dont even know what the widget is. Any thought as to how to fix this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Delete the widget and reinstall it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Its the search widget.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Marty McFly:
Sweet! thanks guys.

ClockworkMod Ra Recovery

No, I use clockworkmod for the backup. Auto and manually. But to flash a new rom I use Ra for that. Why? ClockworkMod (Rom Manager) always will give me an error status 7 installation aborted. But using Ra it never does that. So every time I flash a new rom, I am flashing a new recovery. Hmmm, the light just came on. I should stay with Ra, but I wont have the auto back up. :cool:
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jayvo:
For some reason ROM Manager keeps force closing on me. Can anyone explain why? I've already rooted my device and when I go to open ROM Manager, it says Sorry and I have to Force Close it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] $pitacular1:
ROM Manager - Missing Step Mytouch 3G

For all you MT3G users.. there was a key step missing in the instructions on flashing a new ROM using ROM Manager.. once you download a new ROM, you need to move the file (and the Google Addon) to the root of your SD card (not in any folder, just /sdcard/) or you won't be able to install the new ROM.

Took me a minute to figure out what was wrong.. once I moved it, BAM! no problem at all.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] boriskey:
same here and I noticed a few people on google market posted this issue in comments as well.

Is there alternative rom managers?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] $pitacular1:
Update it - there was a recent update that broke it, but they fixed it as of yesterday evening. Check and see if you have an update available - if you do, update the app and all should be well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] boriskey:
thanks will try that
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Does clockwork do a backup automatically when you flash a new ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mistere372002:
Nope its in the settings to perform a backup on a selected number of days.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Didn't know that. Alright, enough of our thread jacking.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] judgemstr:
Success, just rooted my phone with CM6 and your guide. Thanks a lot. By the way, I selected su permissions and no problems. So at the beginning you can take off the do not use su permission.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] boriskey:
thanks a lot for the guide - worked nicely. The only two problems I had:

1) rom manager would not start which was fixed with the next update of rom manager

2) had troubles connecting mytouch via usb cable in win xp. I had to install android usb drivers from sdk and enable usb debug in phone

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] judgemstr:
Just press the power button to shut it down, then press and hold the "home" key while pressing the power button until the screen comes up in recovery mode.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] LAHAL Droid:
done that, I just get my little Android buddy with a triangle behind him and nothing else. I let it sit for 30 mins, and still nothing happened. Any ideas.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] judgemstr:
Have you tried to let it boot normally? If it boots normally then start over and try again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] LAHAL Droid:
Yep, tried doing that.

Also tried Flashing RA Recovery, and then going back to CM Recovery. No go.

If it helps, I can boot into fastboot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] judgemstr:
what do you get when you press volume down and power? If you can get into that mode, just "flash" the sappimg and it should return to normal.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] LAHAL Droid:
Ya I can get into hboot/fastboot.

Etc etc

How do I flash from here?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] judgemstr:
what does it say for the options below the phone info?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] LAHAL Droid:
under HBOOT

back = fastboot mode

send = simlock

under Fastbbot

vol down = hboot

send = reset device

action = restart to hboot

menu = power down

P.S. does "Action" mean click the scroll ball?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] judgemstr:
Try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=793581 and yes the action is the ball click.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] LAHAL Droid:
I'm not having any luck with this. I'm guessing the RUU from Rogers to upgrade to 2.1 has change some things internally. (i mean software wise)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] candymanmike:
that probably is the case. the dev of this program lists specific firmware versions for each model. for 32A it shows 1.6 and 32B shows 1.5. i'm guessing it doesn't currently work on 2.1 for a magic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
It worked for me on a magic 32b with 1.6.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] LAHAL Droid:
I can get root with Rogers RUU 2.1, but cant boot into recovery. Even after new flash.

I have been able to boot into recovery a few times (tried a million different ways) but it reboot before I can do anything. And If I try to reboot into recovery, then nothing happens.

Getting a warning page when trying to reboot in recovery mode

Hi,

I did all the steps as mentioned

1. Installed Universal Androot

2. Installed ROM Manager

3. Rooted my T-mobile MyTouch 1.6

4. Flashed ClockworkMod Recovery

5. Tried to reboot in recovery mode - at this point after reboot I get screen with ! sign and nothing happens after that. :confused:

If I take out battery and put it again phone works fine but I am not able to load custom ROM :(

I also tried the sapping.zip method does not work. I see following info in bootloader menu

RADIO-2.22.23.02

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Did you do the "hard root" or the "soft root?" You need the hard root.

Make sure you chose hard root and flashed clockwork recovery for ION/MYTOUCH and NOT magic.

Once you flash CWM you should also see an option to flash alternate recovery. I would go ahead and flash the amon ra; I've heard it's a bit more reliable.

If you're doing the SAPPIMG method you need to rename it to SAPPIMG.nbh, not zip. If you're using the SAPPIMG method you can follow this guide.

Stuck in Reboot now

Think I found the problem, I had antivirus app and that was doing something to the rooting. Uninstalled antivirus app and I was able to reboot in recovery mode.

I did wipe data/factory reset then wipe cache.

Installed update file from cyanogenmod everything fine so far but after reboot it just shows my cyanogenmod loading screen and nothing happens after that. Looks like my phone is stuck now :( any ideas here?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
How long did you wait? The first boot usually takes a cool while. Let it boot while you're watching tv or something.

Did you wipe all your date from within recovery mode just before you flashed? Wipe/Factory reset from within the OS doesn't count.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Kevinthebox:
newb :o

Alright I got a couple of questions (I apologize if they have already been awnsered)

1. Does this method work on the original mytouch (32b, NO 3.5 mm, running 1.6)

2. Do you need a data plan to do this? Do you have to redo the Google sign-in? (I don't have one. when i got this phone i had to use someone else's SIM card to sign into the Google account and i really don't feel like doing that again)

3. Does this wipe everything from your phone (texts, apps, etc....) and does it wipe the sd card?

sorry if my newbish questions annoy any of you pro's lol ;]

i dont want to brick my phone. sorry 4 my stupid questions. but THANKS guys!!

I waited for at least 30-40 min first time and now overnight, it doesnt get past the booting screen.

In recovery mode I had 4-5 options under wipe I wiped everything from there and then loaded new ROM.

Am I using the correct ROM? I am using update-cm-6.0.0-DS-signed.zip from under HTC Dream / HTC Magic on CyanogenMod Forum

Is there any way I can restore my phone now its almost dead.

ok after 2 days fighting i do the full wipe and wipe cash and now 508 works on my touch 3g 32a.i use proceedure from page 1.

so what is the next step from eclair to froyo?

do i have only to download google apps and 6.0 update,put them to sd card,turn off the phone,hold down volume plus power off,wipe everything and clean cash and then apply two updates or

i must do the all proceedure FROM HERE:

Now for a custom ROM!

Open ROM Manager. Install Recovery. The default recovery for ROM Manager is ClockworkMod Recovery (which is what I am using) but a lot of people seem to like RA Recovery. This option is at the bottom of ROM Manager under "Flash Alternate Recovery". Whichever you choose, let the Recovery flash.

Next choose "Backup Current ROM", then "Reboot Into Recovery" (for future reference, you can also get into recovery mode by turning your phone off, then hold down the "home" button hit the power button. continue hold home as it powers on.)

Chose "wipe data/factory reset" then "wipe cache partition". This step is important. I know from personal experience if you don't do this you may end up in a bootscreen loop!

Choose "install zip from sdcard". Navigate to the ROM you loaded on your microSD and flash it.

After the phone reboots (which can take a few minutes the first time after flashing a new firmware version) go back to ROM Manager and again choose "Reboot Into Recovery". Once in recovery, again choose "install zip from sdcard". Navigate to the Google Addon pack on your microSD and install it.

THANX

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Yes it'll work on the 32B. If you do the second part of flashing a new ROM it will wipe your fine and you will have to register your Google account again. I'm about 95% sure, however, that CM 6 will allow you to enable wifi for the activation.

On a side note, candyman, you could update the guide to CM 6 final if you've got it directly linked.

New to rooting!

Hi there!

I'm wondering if this will work with SPL/hboot being 1.76.0007, on my 32A HTC Magic?

I'm very new to rooting so my apologies if i did not use the correct terminologies!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] LAHAL Droid:
It will give you root access on the 32A, but no recovery access. Even if you flash a new recovery. I'm assuming your using a Rogers HTC Magic with stock 2.1.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] arkanick:
Nope, I'm using a HTC Magic under a Singapore telecom company, with stock 1.5 but updated with the official Sense UI. Would this matter? If it doesn't is it recommended that I use this method to root?

Thanks for the reply!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
I think you can receive your update as normal but it will probably wipe out your root access. That brings me to my question.
