Need help

okay, i did all the steps int he rooting process. Everything was sucessful. When i hit "reboot system now" my phone just keeps rebooting, and rebooting. how do i fix this? Im afraid to touch my phone due to possibly brick. help me out?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sheepdawgsd:
i too have followed all the steps succesfully however my phone jhust reboots to the MT3g screen and hangs? I let it sit there for 20 mins after following the guide.

Not really sure whats up or what the next step to take is. Skimmed through the other pages but mostly see rebooting issues or problems on one of the steps.

Any help is appreciated.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Need your fastboot information.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sheepdawgsd:
Actually I got it to work. I installed the 5.0.8.zip and rebooted. All good. Can you maybe explain a little bit about ROMs. Is there a "best or fastest " one? I'm confused as to what this whole process does.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sheepdawgsd:
for instance is there a newer CM out? Should i get it? Is there anything out since this Guide has been written that needs to be updated? How would i go about doing that. Im very intrigued by this process to say the least.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
I honestly couldn't recommend a specific ROM nowadays as I no longer use my myTouch.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sheepdawgsd:
Yea, no worries. Really a top notch guide though. I appreciate it. I've lost some of the nice this gs that come with 2.2.1 but I agree certain aspects of cyanogen are great. My keyboard no longer page for example. Also the quickkill bar for wiring Bluetooth and sync etc is great.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
What features are you missing? I can't think of anything except Swype that you would've lost.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gspears:
Hey DonJuan,

I had to give my original 1.2 Fender to my father whom killed his previous phone. So I purchased a new one from Newegg on sale for $170 (I think it's one of the better android deals out there), but it was white. When I checked the radio version I noticed it wasn't the 2.22.28.25 that my old phone was but something like 2.22.27 something. So I figured I got an older device. But I believe when it did the factory upgrade to 2.2 the radio upgraded to 28.25 (I didn't really notice when it changed.) So am I to take from this that the radio hardware is the same it's just the software that's changed? Because I remember you said that you had to be very careful with the radio or you could brick your phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gspears:
Help!

Alright guys and gals somehow I've got my phone to where when I plug in the usb cable it doesn't bring up the USB connected in the info bar and give me the option to enable the USB connection. The PC sees the phone and I've reinstalled the driver a million times. Any ideas?

EDIT: Okay, this is what I've found so far. In the stock 2.2 rom it works okay. But when I load Beatmod's rom, gapps, and a kernal that works, then it breaks. Next i'm going to try just beatmods rom and gapps without the kernal. We'll see.

EDIT AGAIN: Definately the Kernal. Works until I install the kernal. So I'll try another one.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
It just means when you got the phone it had the original radio firmware. HTC included a radio update with the OTA to 2.2.1 so you're good.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
You'll have to use the root shell option, remount system as r/w and delete some ringtones. Then re-run the regular app or you can manually push the such binaries and chmod it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kchinz:
Hey there...I just used ur guide to root my husbands mytouch 3g w/3.5mm jack and I'm running into that bootloop that you talked about. The phone keeps shutting off and rebooting....what do I do?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kchinz:
I'm having the same issue! Any answer yet??? I skimmed through some of the pages but I didn't see anything.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jaime1400:
i'm still a noob when it comes to ADB.

i tried to manually push su-v2 and superuser apk to /system/bin/su

but i still get the same no space left on device though

:-( and i dont know how to delete files wirh adb :-(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Don't flash the kernel. Go back to recovery and only flash GAPPS and the ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Once you click the root shell option you should get a command prompt with a # to indicate you have root permissions.

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system

To mount /system as r/w. Then

cd /system/media/audio/ringtones
ls -l

To display all the ringtones. Then use

rm ringtone.ogg

to delete a few ringtones. Replace the "ringtone" part from above with whatever the ringtone name is. Then push su and SuperUser.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] S.S.Gohan:
this is a great guide!! everything work just as it should had some minor issues at first with getting superoneclick to connect to my phone was able to fix it. Ive finish all the steps and im just waiting for my phone to reboot now with the new kernal and mod. You devs are simply amazing. if any problems arise from the reboot ill let u know but seems everything went just as it should thanks

update 1: after i did the reboot it just stayed on the mytouch logo screen for almost half hour, reset phone restored back up and went and restarted at step 7 did everything as normal but didnt change to kernal (ezBiffTestKernel20110222-2708_S.zip) and apply zip files everything worked well up and running now
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] p3lon:
i am having the same problem. am stuck at the mytouch logo. but it work before i flash the ezBiffTestKernel20110222-2708_S.zip..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Gixermouse:
Just finished mine...

And it went (almost) perfectly.

Got stuck in a boot loop, went back through the instructions and realised that I hadn't flashed the kernel (Idiot?! Me?!)...

So.. Gonna have a look at it and see how it compares to standard. Already seems a lot faster but got no apps on there at the moment..

Thanks for the post. I wasn't having a lot of luck finding a root solution for 2.2.1 :)

I HAVE A PROBLEM...

Everything's working as it should be except;

The camera won't work at full resolution,

When I try to download from the market I'm getting 'download unsuccessful' even though I have data and Wifi (even posting this from phone)...

Can anyone help?

Cheers, Gix..

I followed the guide,but all i get at step 8 is the red vodafone screen!nothing else!i tried the sappimg but i get model incorrect!i can't sync with the pc and i tried goldcarding but the links dldn't work! if i'm not breaking any "rules" by posting this here and you are able to held,hell I'll send two redbulls!

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] leslye:
Another option rather than the gold card is to download the files to a different SD card on a different phone and then put that card into the phone that is bootlooped. That worked for me when I couldn't use the adb method.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] leslye:
I would reinstall GAPPS for the market problem. for the camera problem,the only fix that worked for me when I had this issue with another phone was to flash a different ROM and kernel.

3. Extract the contents of the "android-sdk_r08-windows.zip" files to any folder (just make sure you know where). After extracting, using file explorer find the file called "SDK Manager" and open it. When it starts up a window will pop-up with "Choose packages to install" in the upper left-hand corner, just click Cancel. In the left pane, select "Available Packages", then in the right pane, expand "Third party add-ons", then "Google Inc. add-ons", and finally check "Google USB Driver Package". In the bottom right-hand corner, click "Install Selected". In the window that opens, make sure "Accept" is selected, then click install. Select "Yes" in the next window and close everything out.

i open SDK MANAGER in linda file manager but nothings pop up window liked what you've said... i dont see "choose package to install instead of white board......

please help me out on this.. thanks

Having a very strange issue.

Google USB Driver Package is installed. USB Debugging is turned on.

Super One Click is stuck at Waiting for Device.

When plugging in the phone to the PC, Windows (Vista) shows a pop up saying it has 'found new hardware' for an 'Android Phone' and gives an option to install drivers. Is there something that needs to be done at this point?

I think there may be something here that is the cause hangup with SOC. Would very much appreciate any help on this.

*Update*

For anyone with the same issue, Windows may not automatically install the drivers to the device. You'll need to search for the drivers manually where the Google USB Driver Package is saved.

May be a helpful step to include in the guide.

*Update 2*

PC needed to restart about 3 times to successful install the updates which also happened to take forever. It may look like you screwed up your OS but it does work out in the end.

I'm having a strange issue too. I've rooted my phone (32B, vodafone branded) with superoneclick, and installed rom manager and superuser from the market.

I also flashed the 2.5 clockworkmod recovery, but when i click "Reboot into Recovery, i get the triangle with exclamation mark. When using amon ra's, it isn't possible to boot into the recovery, my screen stucks in the vodafone logo.

Can anybody help me? I've searched the whole forum, but i didn't find a solution for my problem.

EDIT: when clicked, backup, i was possible to backup my complete rom, but it isn't possible to acces the main menu. I reflashed the recovery several times

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Kaala:
Thank you SO MUCH, Don Juan, for this clear & thorough guide! I just bought a used MT3G over the weekend & immediately used SuperOneClick to root it. Then installed ROM Manager & CWM recovery so I could flash Cyanogen Mod. Imagine my surprise & frustration when I hit that nasty splash screen loop. Your guide (& the poor sufferers further into the thread) cleared up the mystery and provided all the files I needed to get where I was going. After I flashed the new radio (for 32B), everything else worked like it should. Thanks for laying it out for us!

Awesome instructions but I have an issue at #6. I cant install ROM Manager.

I cant find ROM Manager from market on phone but can from Android Market website. I can download some things with no problem but not ROM Manager.

"Device is running Android 1.5

At this time, the Android Market website is only compatible with devices running Android 1.6 or higher....."

I also tried "fastboot flash recovery" with the recovery filepath to file on desktop but get:

sending 'recovery' (3622 KB)... OKAY

writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

Note: I have no problem running fastboot boot recovery recovery.img from this files location on desktop. It runs on phone and I can select options from menu.

I hope this is the appropriate amount of information you need and that this question has not been asked/answered elsewhere. If so, my apologies and please redirect me.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Sandmonkee:
Finally!

First of all, a HUGE thanks to DonJuan for putting together this up-to-date, plain English guide that even a newbie like me can understand. I had looked all over the net for about 3 days trying to figure out a bunch of conflicting and/or unclear instructions, but these are hands down the most comprehensive I could find. Donations on the way for DonJuan, Cyanogen and the guy that put together SuperOneClick!

If I could offer some constructive criticism:

I would recommend changing the links in step 2 to be more generic...

For the Android SDK, This page will always point to the latest version for all operating systems:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

For Cyanogen, the latest version will always be here:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version

And for the Google Addons, the latest version will always be here:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps

Other than that, the instructions were absolutely bang on. I followed them to the letter and had no problems at all. The whole process took me about 40 minutes.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Sandmonkee:
Radio Flash

One thing I noticed after the flash that I was wondering about...

Following the steps in the procedure required flashing the radio to the ezBiff version. Before the flash, my phone displayed a "3G" up near the signal bars. Now, it shows an "H". Functionality is unaffected (I am still getting about the same speeds as far as I can tell).

So I am wondering, what exactly does flashing the radio to the ezBiff version do?

Does the "H" mean my radio is now HSPA?

Thanks!

in the settings on the phone it says my baseband version is 62.50Sj.20.17U_2.22.28.25

Im running into a snag even though im following this guide exactly. Im at the superoneclick part.

In the left pane of superoneclick it says

Killing ADB server Killserver 0.10s *server not running*

Starting ADB server Startserver 4.30s *daemon not running. starting it now on port 5...

In the right pane it says

*Daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037*

*daemon started successfully*

But its just sitting there forever. Nothing is happening. I have an hour glass for a mouse cursor. I have usb debugging on the phone turned on.

I tried a factory reset of the phone but still get the same superoneclick results.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] injo503:
Ok, figured that part out.

Now i have made it to the part where i go into the rom manager app. I flashed clockworkmod recovery and then scroll to the bottom and flash alternate recovery (RA recovery v1.7.0G)

But after i boot into recovery all i get is the screen with the exclamation in a triangle and a phone. I have repeated the flashing of the clockworkmod recovery and the ra recovery a few times but i always get that screen with the exclamation point triangle and phone.

What should i do?

I have the tmobile mytouch 3g 32A WITH a headphone jack. Which apparently is really a 32B? What am i doing wrong?

and it still reads the same even after flashing above mentioned ROM and Kernel.

Anyhow I did not find the option to set the processor speed, application management is bit complicated compared android 2.2.1. Can I flash the Cynangenmod 6.1.0? :confused: If so please tell me just flashing its zip file instead of this 5.0.8-zip file and sticking to same procedure works or do I need some other kernels? gapps? :confused: If I need some other kernels and gapps please provide me the link. I prefer a fully functional android 2.3 version, If you know any please advice on this. Sorry for too many questions, as I said before I am a newbie! Thanks aton! :)

Ok I figured out after searching Cynanogenmod wiki page that I should flash 6.1.0's zip and tiny gapps and a separate kernel and I am going to try it out now. And please guide me to get a fully functional android 2.3 with a good speedy processor without much freezes please. Thank you :)
