Hi gang,
Any progress to report on rooting Sapphire 1.6 Tmobile ROM? I know it's early and people are still receiving the OTA update, but I'd imagine that most have received the 1.6 update OTA by now.
Also,... looking for direction on ROMs containing NATIVE EAS (Exchange Activesync).
Thanks

Tmobile MyTouch 1.6
Yeah Please someone!
I just spent 5 hours trying to root this tmobile mt3g 1.6 and had no success. My copilot quit on me after 1.6 upgrade, trying to go to cm 4.1.11.1 which I heard was the latest version that works with copilot.
I did the OTA update to 1.6, and then downgraded to 1.5. Once I did that, I used flashrec to install cm-updater 1.4, and from there it was a piece of cake to flash Cyanogen's latest (4.1.999) mod.
Here is the link to the image you need to put on your phone: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BLM4EDGE
Download that file, make sure it's named sappimg.nbh, reboot holding power and the volume down button. It will find the file and ask you if you wanna flash, say yes. Once you've rebooted you'll be in 1.5... now you can install flashrec and from there install a recovery image (like Cyanogen's Recovery 1.4).

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
those are instructions to unroot........
I believe that Relentless Rooter might be able to handle even the 1.6 firmware. Also, Superboot by Paul @ MoDaCo should also do the trick.
Do a little research, and I'm sure you'll find exactly what you're looking for. Best of luck.
I've tried Relentless Rooter. Problem is, I'm on Windows 7. Doesn't seem to like the USB drivers. I'll give Superboot a try.
Thanks!
Just tried Superboot. Received "FAILED (remote: not allow)". I thinks it's my SPL (1.33.0006).
Thanks for the suggestion though.

someone correct me if im mistaken but i always thought you had to go from Donut (1.6) to Cupcake (1.5) and then flashed a rom with a Donut ... That's how is supposed to be right?
//EDIT: I found this @ TheUnlockr
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-root-a-donut-phone-android-1-6/
Tried the Unlocker already but without Unrooting back to Cupcake. Now forgive me but, even unrooting back to Cupcake will still leave me with the same Radio and SPL, correct? I have the 0006 SPL which I thought was the issue with rooting.
The recovery image doesn't flash the Radio and SPL also or am I confused?
Thanks
Guide To rooting mytouch 3g 32b (Even if you have 1.6 update)
Propz to:Amon_RA, andreev2001, Cyanogen, and any one else sources I used
Ok after Searching the forums and finding all types of ways to root a Mytouch and having some/no luck I decided
to created a thread that goes into complete detail(or try to at least) about each step that is guaranteed to work if done correctly.
READ
This guide does not require a goldcard or adb . I am also not responsible for bricked/broken phones. Now since that's out of the way happy rooting!!
IF your phone is currently running 1.5(cupcake) already then skip to step 3
1.First of all we can't really do anything with 1.6 so we must downgrade to 1.5 by downloading this sappimg.nph and installing it
2.Once downloaded put it on your sdcard and reboot and go into hboot mode (Hold END+VOLUME DOWN). Preform the update
3.Once update is COMPLETLY finished and it asks you to reboot. Do so, then load your phone up fully and download this apk here (flashrecovery.apk) then run it.
Skip these steps and go to step 4 if you know how to install a apk
3a.to install this apk you have to enable the install unkown source in your settings. To do this hit menu >Settings>Applications>Unkown Soruces(check this).
3b. After this go to the market and download a app called "Astro" (the description should mention somthing about file manager) or you could use another apk installer but I prefer this one.
4. After installing the apk run it and click on “backup recovery image” let it do what it does then click on “Flash Cyanogen Recovery 1.4″.
5.Once that is done you want to download the SPL by clicking here, then put it on your sdcard. After that download any ROM(If you dont know what a ROM is search, I cant tell you everything ) of your choice and rename it "update.zip" without quotes then place it in your sdcard
6.Reboot your g1 and hold down the "HOME" key and it should bring up the flash image recovery screen. Choose apply any zip from sd and then choose "update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2005-signed.zip". It finishes almost immediately with message saying successfully flashed(if it doesn't you prolly ate to much chicken ).
7. Then after it is installed select the restart option and then load into fastboot mode (Hold "BACK" arrow key while its restarting). Once fastboot is loaded the SPL info should say HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP30000). If it does congrats almost there!!!!! If it doesn't, you did somthing wrong and you need to retrace you're steps.
8.Exit fastboot by hitting the "GREEN" button and before the phone boots up hold the "HOME" button and then go to "apply sdcard:update.zip". Let it install and VOL LA you installed your ROM. Preform a reboot and you will now have a rooted phone with a custom ROM
1) thanks for posting, ive tried to follow other instructions over the past few days to no avail
2) any chance of hosting the sappimg.nph file somehwere else? I cant access rapidshare from my phone. I would greatly appreciate it.
OMG SOOO EASY!!!! Mods should sticky this as the new root / rom upload process
I was running android 1.6 on tmobil mytouch 3g with perfected spl 1.33.2006
@ascis sure ill host the files on my website later (im not @ home right now)
@nonmindo thanks and i hope u had a easy time rooting

Thanks for posting - much appreciated. Can I ask what the benefit of changing the SPL is? Is this required?
My concern is regarding warranty - if I flash a new SPL, it is my understanding that I will not be able to flash my current one back, and hence return the phone to stock if the need arises.

Yes, it is required. You cannot root with the MT3G SPL, so you need to change the SPL.

You can flash it back to the original SPL. You would then be unrooted. Look at Amon_RA's original rooting process with Gold Card. At the bottom, he gives directions on how to return your phone to the unrooted state in case you need to do that.
Thanks, I thought with one-click-root, once you'd got the recovery rom flashed, you were done - that you had root and could flash what you liked.
For the record, I'm Voda 32B, but have perfected SPL .0007.
[EDIT] Yes, that thread has a file to return to stock, but only for MT3G, which is why I am hesitant to flash a new SPL to my device.
I've still seen in lots of places mind, that suggest this process works without the flashing of a new SPL. Such as: http://www.ryebrye.com/blog/2009/08/16/android-rooting-in-1-click-in-progress/
[EDIT]
What happened to the ability to format and
and put partitions from the recovery? I just got another Mytouch and rooted it and no ability to put the partions from the recovery mode? I think I had version 1.2 and now I have 1.4

You still can, but not with the recovery img ur using wirch is cyanogen 1.4. Just flash amans new recovery img and you will be able to partion
4. After installing the apk run it and click on “backup recovery image” let it do what it does then click on “Flash Cyanogen Recovery 1.4″.
backup failed:I received that could not run command

I have rooted my myTouch3G with the 1-click method (twice actually, needed to take it to the store), and I have the perfected SPL 1.33.2006.
The main issue with this SPL is that it does not allow you to use fastboot. As far as I know, this has nothing to do with root access.
Can confirm that I've performed the OP's procedure but *without* flashing a new SPL, and everything is working fine.
Now running CyanogenMod 4.2.2 w/ CM Recovery 1.4.
Does anyone have the link to the partitions recovery? I tried to put the Hero recovery on and it does not want to come on and I still show the Cyanogenmod v1.4 +jf....someone help
Also in the top it has Andriod system recovery (2)? I did it twice, how do i take one off?

If you ran the 2.1 ruu.exe then follow this link to restore everything except your hboot.
If you did not run the 2.1 ruu.exe then you can still run the 1.56 ruu successfully. Fresh is sharing it here.

I had installed the 2.1 ruu.exe test build and was able to root the phone fine and install the amon ra 1.6.2 bootloader. You do have to manually push flash_image to your phone to do this, but otherwise this root guide (but used the 1.6.2 recovery) works fine.
If you need flash_image to root your 2.1 ruu.exe build I am attaching it with a .zip suffix (it is not a zip) Download it here then push it to your phone using the commands below then follow the root guide I linked.
Code:
adb remount
adb push flash_image.zip /system/bin/flash_image
Im gonna level with you im such a noob is there any way or a video that can break this down, also i heard it doesnt really bring it back to full factory settings, is it true? and if so is the anything that i can do to be able bring it back to full factory settings

my girlfriend hates the OTA 2.1 cause there is so much not working now
so i was wondering if there is way/tutorial to downgrade from the crappy 2.1 OTA back to original 1.5 without rooting
if not what is there a tutorial for rooting then downgrading
Edit:
since i have a moto droid and my girlfriend didnt care much about rooting till now what type of things are diffrent when rooting the eris compared to droid (OCing, roms, themes, nandroid backups, ect.)??
Check out this link to root the eris: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647707
I'll post again once I find the 1.5 rom, although I think it may have been removed.
After searching it appears that jcase took the download down at the request of a few users.
So, what I would do is root then flash some of the new roms that have come out. Personally, I'd give either CyanogenEris or Senseless a try because they are AOSP based (like your droid is).
If you are into the Sense scene, I would check out the plethora of roms listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649705
so your not able to just downgrade?? cause thats all my girlfriend really wants
and are the 2.1 roms(with sense ui cause for some reason my girlfriend likes it) based off the leaks or the official 2.1 and do they run better then the official 2.1
Edit: that tutorial is for stock 1.5 not 2.1
Downgrade instructions are here http://androidforums.com/all-things...ot-thread-apps-roms-updated-05-06-2010-a.html
Full Downgrade from 2.1root (any) to 1.5 stock - FULLY WORKING
THIS IS NOT FOR LEAK USERS SO DON'T ASK
If it bricks your phone, not my fault (it shouldn't and I hope it doesn't).
Please read and follow the directions included.
unzipme.zip md5sum: 0ed3c91d7574367d65428b3bc230f217
http://www.multiupload.com/6UE7AUN810
This is fully working, I just did a full reflash to 1.5, including the kernel, the system software, the radio firmware, recovery image and the bootloader.
This must be done from a PC with Fastboot, which comes with windows. Linux/Mac users will have to find it and compile it. You will need to have Amon's recovery image installed to use this downgrade, at the end we will overwrite his image with the stock one.
Inside unzipme.zip are three files
downgrade.zip md5sum: c440c87f1e67f4b62e05da0d255e80e9
-Do not unzip/open/alter this file
--Contains your kernel, radio firmware, and system.
recovery.img md5sum: 71a4b633bdb32de9dcdd8953fef43cdc
--stock recovery image
hboot.nb0 md5sum: 38899da4e5e002e3be22900f5f4eb6f7
--Original bootloader
Step one:
Put hboot.nb0 and recovery.img in the tools dir of your sdk.
Put downgrade.zip on the sdcard of your phone
Step two:
Turn your phone off, then turn it back on holding the power button (red) and send button (green). Once in the boot loader press volume down, then volume up to get to Amon's recovery image. Go to wipe, wipe dalvik cache, and do a factory reset (aka wipe data). Then choose flash zip from sdcard, and flash downgrade.zip. The phone will flash the kernel, and system softare, then ask you to reboot. Let it reboot so it can flash the radio, it will restart back in the recovery image. You can power down your phone now.
At this point if your just wanted 1.5 back, you are done.
If you want the original bootloader and recovery image, (ie 100% stock) continue on.
Step three:
Plug your phone into your PC. Power your phone on using the power button (red) and send button (green). Your phone should now be sitting back at the bootloader screen and say FASTBOOT USB. Now on your PC, go to the sdk tools dir in command line. Issue this commanhttp://www.multiupload.com/6UE7AUN810d
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Let it flash, when done wait a minute (just to make sure).
Then issue this command
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hboot.nb0
Once this is done, wait a minute then pull your battery and restart your phone.
You are now back at factory stock.

Personally I'd stop after step 2 in case you ever want to flash a rom in the future.
Woops, I missed that she's not rooted. You could root it and go back down to 1.5.

In theory you could downgrade using the same methods as going from RUU 1.17-1.16 (since they have the same bootloader version and are both signed), but I don't know that anyone on 2.1 OTA has tried that.
Even if you got it to downgrade she'd be bugged constantly about the OTA (every 2 minutes I believe), which would suck for her. Also it takes up ~100MB of space on her phone too, so I would just go with rooting.

The root process is exactly the same for 2.1 OTA users, but will not work if it's a 2.1 leak.
At this point all the roms are based on 2.1 OTA or another person's 2.1 rom and most of them run better than the 2.1 OTA.
It's really just a trial-and-error process. Some users will swear by one rom and hate another, while others will swear by a different rom.
I'd have her look at all of the roms and pick one based on looks, because it sounds like she won't use most of the advanced features anyways.

yea she doesnt care for the advanced things i have tried to get her to use another home replacement app like helix cause i know sense ui is a resource hog but she likes it too much and doesnt wanna try and get used to something new but i will talk her into rooting and choosing a rom she might like thanks for the help
i had a rom before 2.1 for the droid that didnt block the ota and it was very annoying it varied between 2 minutes to ten minutes
is there an app like rom manager to switch between roms like the droid
I went from 2.1 OTA back down to 1.5 using the RUU MR2 on the computer. Worked like a charm!

I recently got back a warranty swap Nexus One with an old version of android (2.2) and thought to myself "Hell, I might as well try rooting for once since it the 1-click method doesn't unlock the bootloader and you can always go back right?" Wrong
Well, I updated the radio as part of the Cyanogen 6.1 installation to radio version 5.12.00.08 and now that I don't want to be rooted anymore I can't seem to get the radio version back to normal to what it should be on 2.2.1
The 2.2.1 radio should be: Baseband version 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7
But when I updated to 2.2.1 it stayed the same: Baseband version 32.50.00.32U_5.12.00.08
Have I screwed up my radio? I just want to get my phone back to normal please help

Does the phone still function? Making calls, sending texts.. etc?
If so, then whats the problem? The radio update was probably included in the ROM you flashed, if you're experiencing problems, search the forum for the Radio you want and instructions on how to flash
Be careful though, you can brick your phone when flashing a radio.. so make sure you read the instructions..
Good Luck

2 things I am worried about:
1. Before I rooted and changed the radio, I could check for system updates and it would say I could to update to 2.2.1 ota... Now, after I unrooted and got it back to stock 2.2, I would check system updates and it no longer gave me the option to update to 2.2.1 (I had to manually do this)
This worries me since I don't want to miss out on all future ota updates if my radio has been screwed up when I flashed one earlier.
2. Radio has been slower since upgrading manually to 2.2.1 but still having the old radio in place.
Isn't the each radio optomized for the particular android build?
Also what about rooting causes the phone not to get the new ota update? Is it the changing of its radio?
What country is yor phone? And with what build did it came after warranty?
My guess the radio is just part of the update (if you flashed a stock rom)
I recently bought my nexus in holland it came with FRF91
And 5.08.00.04 radio so
Radio isn't per build.
There was a major change to adjust to Froyo in 4.06 radio, all the above are compatible with it, all the 4.04 and below are compatible with Eclair and not suitable for Froyo.
2.2.1 includes 5.08 anyway. Your not getting OTA doesn't have anything to do with radio.
You can flash any radio you want when you're rooted, using the guide found in Wiki.
Yeah I've benefited from newer radios. Dont sweat it your rooted, this is good.

I really would not get stressed out about this. Worst case scenario is that you have to come on xda every so often and flash the update manually.
LOL, if ur on CM6 u already have 2.2.1 and worrying about future otas, root user update to latest version normally before unrooted people and u should have to problem updating, if u want to revert back to the old boring stock version just flash one of the shipping roms in bootloader by renaming them to PASSIMG.zip

1) From where did you upgrade to 2.2.1?
if you upgraded from rom manager or any ROM given by developer, they remove the radio and provide it as a separate update file.
http://www.tap3w0rm.com/hosted/android/radios/nexus-1/FRF50-radio-4_06_00_12_7.zip is the update for radio you want.
2) However, Radio update is not what you want. "Recovery" is what you want. Recovery is a piece of software that allows you to flash custom ROMS. did you install Amon's recovery or Clockwork (from ROM Manager) recovery?
You will not get OTA if you have one of these custom recoveries. you will need the stock recovery.
3) In short, you need to flash your phone with a completely stock google ROM.
follow these instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...des_&_Tutorials#Unroot_.2F_Restore_your_Nexus
hmmm interesting...what makes you wanna unroot besides OTA? From what I see that's virtually no advantage to go back to stock rom
If you really want official OTAs, just make sure you check xda often when those are pushing out. There will be stock OTA updates hanging around.
Try this:
http://djmcnz.batteryboss.org/Kang-o-rama/froyo/radio/froyo-radio-update-signed.zip
Flash it from custom recovery. It will reboot, unpack the radio, reboot again in a few minutes, and you should end up back on the 4.06 radio. For what it's worth.
If you want to go back to totally stock unrooted, the most complete way to do so is using a PASSIMG file.

I installed Clockwork recovery when I first did the Cyanogen flash so how do I know if I still have it on my phone blocking OTA updates?
I had an old 2.2.1 update.zip on my SDcard from an old Nexus One that I sent in through a warranty swap.
Then I powered off and did the whole Volume Down + Power button.
I get the screen with the 3 androids on skateboards and clicked on Recovery
I press on recovery
When I see the triangle with exclamation mark I press power button + volume up and the only options I see are reboot system now, install update.zip from sd card, factory reset, wipe cache
I click on install update.zip (2.2.1) and reboot system now so the phone reboots but I still am stuck with the old radio. How do I know if I have stock recovery and will get OTA updates from now on?

Can't you download a unrooted 2.2 rom from rom manager and then ota once its installed? Dont quote me though I've never actually tried to unroot

On my phone this is what I get in bootloader mode...
I start up the phone holding down the trackball, and I get the Fastboot with the skateboards. The first menu option, BOOTLOADER, is highlighted. I press Power and I get to the HBOOT screen (also with skateboarding androids). I wait 5-10 seconds and it checks for a PASSIMG on SD. Since I don't have one, it finds nothing and returns me to HBOOT.
Or alternately I boot while holding volume down and I get HBOOT directly. In 5-10 seconds it checks for PASSIMG. The only time it won't do that is if my SD is not installed.
You're saying that on yours it doesn't check for PASSIMG at all?
I am in a somewhat similar boat (though not exactly), a colleague of mine purchased a used Nexus One off of fleebay and it came rooted running Cyanogen 6 with Clockwork Recovery (for the Recovery Image).
My colleague wants it to be completely stock (which I do not understand as I find Cyanogen 6 to be far better) and asked me the resident Android guy if I could help.
I figured PASSIMG.zip was the way to go and downloaded the stock rom from developer.htc.com and renamed it PASSIMG.zip. I put the PASSIMG.zip file on his SD card and booted into the bootloader. It checks the PASSIMG.zip image but does not offer me option to install it. It simply checks it and then offers me the normal 4 options.
Any thoughts?

Read the Wiki, it has specific reference to FRG83 stock ROM now, which refuses to work in PASSIMG mode.

Try as update.zip through custom recovery? Then clear the custom recovery by flashing stock one...then delete superuser.apk + unroot?

It's the rom and recovery.

Actually, it's just the ROM. Even if you have a custom recovery: a rooted, stock ROM will still receive OTA updates...
Yes but on quite a few custom recoveries, it will fail to install due to the signature.

True. If you are using anything earlier than Amon_RA 1.8 or the latest ClockworkMod, it won't install.
