Hi I got mytouch 3g, I want to root it. I need helping making my goldcard, can someone help me? Thanks
No need for a gold card to flash roms. Google one click root!
But people have told me to it the other way, can you please advise which way is better? I just got this phone maybe 1 week ago thanks

I did the one click method, it was simple. Look for the thread in the development section. "How to root/hack your T-mobile usa MT3G the easy way"
It took me about ten minutes to do it. As long as you are using a 32b MT3G, Just follow the directions you'll be fine.
MOre than likely you have a perfect SPL. One click ROOT your phone and enjoy! Once you lean more you can flash a new SPL. There is so much to learn I suggest the one click before the hack gets closed.

Ok. I know that this has been asked many times... so do not flame for this...
Just got a T-Mobile MyTouch 3G. I have the Perfect SPL (form what i understand form the other threads) 1.33.0006 (SAPP30000) with the 2.22.19.26I Radio.
Which is the best way for me to root my phone?
-i do want to keep the stock Donut ROM.
-i do not want to lose any user data... just want to get root access - think of it as Quickpwn or Redsn0w is for iPhone
What would be a way for me to update my phone after that if T-Mobile releases a new update?
Also...
If i do flash my phone with a different ROM, how do i return to the stock T-Mobile one?
I have spent a good day going through the Sapphire forum so please don't be rude and tell me to 'Search'
Thanks

if thats all you want then the quickest way to keep what you already have is not rooting your phone

flashing a rom with that specific ota update/or/unrooting your phone to receive ota updates/or/again not rooting your phone

you can flash the newest ota release (same as you would a rom) or you could just not root your phone
Just to highlight all your questions could be anwsered with not rooting your phone... and in a serious way. If I were you I would really rethink why you want root in the first place
There are quite a few rooting tools available among the forum threads.
Do a little bit of research; and you'll certainly end up finding some success in regards to your topic.
Hey,
My missus just bought a HTC Hero from feabay and it doesn't have android market on it!
I've been trolling the threads on here and I gather the only way to get it on there is to root the phone and flash a new ROM onto it.
Now, I'm really not very confident in attempting this so I just want to clarify what I am planning on doing is correct.
First, I need to root the phone using the tutorial on Unlockr:
How To: Root Your HTC Hero in One Click! (Updated 03.07.10!)
Then, I need to Load a custom ROM using the tutorial on Unlockr:
How To: Load a Custom ROM on Your HTC
Is that all I need to do?
Also, where can I download a good ROM to use?
I know that this has probably been covered but I've noticed the process changes depending which phone firmware is already installed.
I checked my gf's phone and this is what is said:
HERO CVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.76.0007 (HERO10000)
MICROP-010f
TOUCH PANEL-SYN0104
RADIO-6.35.07.08
Aug 4 2009, 19:43:30
Once again, sorry for asking a stupid question that everyone probably knows the answer to, but I really don't want to screw up her phone.
Any advice, opinion or links would be greatly appreciated.

Hi again Poorboy,
Please stop taunting people and making smartass remarks, try to be helpful instead.
Jesterarts,
Try flashing one of the RUU images if you want the stock rom, sounds like someone flashed an AOSP rom on it.
Kr,
-Kevin
I see,
I downloaded one of the RUU Image .exe files for the unbranded Hero (i'm assuming mine is unbranded... well... since there is no branding on it )
So all I have to do is install sync, run the RUU .exe and I'll be sweet??
Cool, I will give that a bash when I get home.
Thanks for that info, should save me ALOT of screwing about if it works!
*Fingers crossed*
PS, Poorboy1 you are a douche. That is all.
Didn't work... it said Customer ID invalid. I tried a number of RUU's.
Sigh.
If you are getting a CID error, you need to create a Goldcard.
Regards,
Dave
Yeah, managed it with a gold-card... once I found the right RUU anyway.
Needed one that started in 273.xxx.etc, etc
Anyway, thanks for your help guys.
Now that it's working, gf is stoked with the phone...
Cheers!
i love it how your "missus" turned into a "gf"
I HAD MY PHONE ROOTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DO THE GOLDCARD ASWELL BECAUSE MY PHONE WAS LOCK IN SOME WAY. SO NOW THAT I HAVE THE PHONE ROOTED IT WONT LET ME INSTALL ANY ROMS.

I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO FROM THERE....IM SO LOST!!!!!!! PLEASE ANY SUGGESTIONS????? BESIDES KICKING THE CRAP OUT OF MY PHONE?
When the pop up with the exclamation point press home and power again then you will see options.

You don't need to use CAPS. Without any information we cannot help you.
We need DETAILS.
Phone 32A or 32B?
SPL version?
Radio version?
Recovery?
Rooted or not?
Goldcard made?
Tutorial followed?
If so then which one?
etc etc.
Just saying HELP HELP HELP without telling us where you are at and then getting mad at us MODS isn't going to get anywhere.

You do know that MODS is short for MODERATORS, right? Being me?
If I don't know (or anyone else for that matter) how else to help you then we just don't know. There are over a dozen different types of MyTouch devices. If you find someone that has them all rooted with knowledge on all of them then let me know. A technique for one doesn't always work for all of them. When YOU figure it out then post a HOW-TO for others to follow. Until then don't blame the MODERATORS for not knowing how to root YOUR phone.
Your contradicting yourself you said in the other thread that if I followed directions I would have no problem now your saying that there is no solution. yes I do know mods its short for people like yourself who like to go on power trips cause your a internet moderator. No wonder kingxkxlick left.

You have no idea what you are talking about if you want to take this to private message I will more than happy to discuss it with you but not in the open.
And for your information he was breaking forum rules and was asked to leave.
And in regards to meet contradicting myself if you use the resources that have been provided to you by other contributing members in you will not have a problem. Do not blame moderators like myself or other members for not being able or willing to spoon feed you. Remember that XDA Developers is not the only resource on the internet for rooting your phone. If you want to continue being counter productive with your negative comments and rudeness then i suggest you take it to another forum.

Sort of. Just to confirm, you DO have root right?
Hi everyone.
I have a two questions about the XTC clip that I can't find an answer to using search.
When I purchased the phone it came with the unrootable hboot and Android 2.2.1.
I have sourced a HTC clip and will be unlocking my Wildfire today. Once unlocked will I need to flash an older version of hboot - to then allow me to install a custom rom? or can I just install a custom rom as soon as it's done?
My second question is has anyone actually done this and can confirm it works?
Thanks!
xtc clip -> s-off ->
downgrade phone with ruu rom -> hboot 0.8 ->
unrEVOked for root ->
costum rom.
The phone is now set to s off!
Know where I can get the Rom to downgrade?
Thanks!

Dude it is a HARDWARE BOX!
aman_idrish
you really need to stop what youre doing. If you already could read, you would already know that you cant download xtc clip. Its an item you BUY on http://www.xtcclip.com and not a piece of software.
And NO it does not help asking the same questions 10 times, and then starting making private messages to people asking the same questions.
Now, start to grow up, use the search buttom and search for help, like the most of us. If you cant do that then I'm not sure you should ever bought a phone like android where you can make so many changes.
If you ever get it rooted, what can we then experience from you ? Questions about how you repair it from the disasters you have applied it ?
So start searching...... the answers are there including those you ask all the time. They have been answered.
@3xeno
can you tell me where i can download a softice, i'm really in the mood for one, but i cant find anything about it even though i've searched the forum ???? pls
p.s. it's not really hardware, its soft-ice

glad to hear you're getting a phone thats rooted again
Actually,
I have absolutely no idea which one I need to install! I assume it will be one below 2.2 from the UK but that's where I get lost!
Help is appreciated
Thanks for the input so far!
I think this will take you back to the first official rom of wildfire

Thanks,
Downloading it at the moment - Thanks very much for the help. So I'm right in thinking this will downgrade my current hboot to a previous version - which will then let me install Cyanogen and other custom roms?
This is my first HTC phone so I have never actually rooted one before!
Hope this works.

youre welcome, glad to have been able to help

No need of downgrade or Unrevoked if already S-OFF
Sorry to "disappoint" you guys but there is no need to downgrade & Unrevoked at all, if the smart is set to S-OFF.
Explanation is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12188132&postcount=15
NOTE: The method is successfully tested on several smarts.
If you want to suck the MAX of Wildfire try CyanogenMod 7 RC2 (need to reflash the radio to fix GPS), or better wait a while for stable release - coming soon.

Hello,
I'm used to debrand and flash Sony Ericsson devices, but my girlfriend has a HTC wildfire and I'm kind of confused with the debranding...
I found unrevoked3 and wanted to use it, but I don't even get to the part were I should install the android 1.0 drivers, since the pc ıs only asking my for adb-drivers. Does HTC have different then Sony Ericsson? Which one shall I take?
Also I always found manuals about using a goldcard, but these are supposed to be outdated?
Also I'm not able to find an original firmware... I only find RUN exe files. Can someone tell me if it ıs possible to flash original firmware through clockwork mod and maybe give me a link?
I would really appreciate if you guys could help me!
THANK YOU!

Look at my guide. It gives you all the files, and is a very simple and easy to use guide.

Thank you for your answer. I have 2 further questions though:
1) Do I really still need the goldcard (thought this was old school^^)?
2) I still dont know how to flash an original firmware AND WHICH FIRMWARE I SHALL TAKE? Can someone please help me with this?

There is a guide on downgrading the phone to an Unbranded WWE ROM here. This will erase all data(including Recovery, everything), but will downgrade you to a Universal ROM with no network branding, as well as HBOOT 1.00.001.
Goldcard? YES. A guide for the same is in the link, follow it to the letter and there will be no problems.

Thank you very much! I'm going to try it tomorrow ;-)
One more question though: can someone tell me where to get the newest RUU file? Update via htc sync?

The step2.bat in the guide is the rom itself. But if you still need a link, it is here. That is the same RUU used in Step2.
worked like a charm! Thank you again!
Do you see any easy way to root the phone now?
Gingerbreak and Superoneclick didnt work :/

You should be able to use revolutionary but...........
Read the first post, I know its a lot but there's everything you'll need in there.

thank you, I found that way but since it is not my phone, i dont want to s-off it
Anyway, my girlfriend don't need root that much, so I guess I will just leave it here and reinstall here software manually!
Thank you everyone for your help and support!
*edit:
if someone finds a way to root phone without S-OFF: your idea is welcome
In that case, you will have to go through HTC DEV to unlock the bootloader, which is a FAR more cumbersome process IMO. Anyway, upto you really. Otherwise, rooting without S-OFF is not possible on Froyo.
Thank you for that answer. I will look into it... At the moment my girlfriend is happy with the Rom I gave her... But I think about cyanogenmod might be faster (phonepad input on Frodo is really slow...)? We will see :-/
