If it's not rooted, is it partly rooted or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's not the SPL that has root, it's the rom you are using ... so we can't tell from the fastboot information you posted. Most rooted roms have the superuser app installed .. do you have that?
If not you could try searching for 'root' in the market, and download an app that requires root (like PicMe). If it works, then you have root!

I wasn't as lucky as i were hoping for, unfortunatly it has not been rooted.
Do i have a "Perfect SPL"? If so, should i just drop trying to get the MyHERO ROM installed?

i have a perfect spl and installed myhero on my mytouch no problems.

What resources did you use?
I'd be really happy if you could provide some links or something

To root that having that SPL, you will have to use goldcard method...

what? i rooted useing cyanogen's tutorial with flashrec, and I just flashed the myhero rom after wiping in recovery... same as normal..
my SPL is the .0006 perfect one
oh and also my magic is 32B mytouch

Is the only way to get a HERO ROM on this phone using a goldcard? Or is it possible to flash a new SPL and use a custom rom without a goldcard?

There's no need to use a Goldcard, even with a perfect SPL, if you just want to flash a new ROM and gain root. If you want to use fastboot at all, then yes, you must flash a new "imperfect" SPL.
Follow Cyanogen's guide here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod

Pixelkid, I also have a danish Magic and had the same SPL a few weeks back. I used the goldcard trick from this guide. Why don't you want to use a goldcard?

Help with root please

I just got a HTC Magic - Vodafone UK - Running 1.6 Donut
Is there anyway to root it? Been searching for a white and cant finy any method that works
Thanks

Did you think people could help you without posting any details?

Okay Thanks

you can go to theunlockr.com and go to the vid that says downgrade your phone so it could be rooted

The only way to downgrade it is to use the Rogers Image - Would that be okay to do?
'Cause I remember when I had my G1 the rogers phone were quite different to the others
Thanks for help guys

Just tried downgrading using the SAPPIMG.nbh and I get incorrect model
Any other ideas?
Thanks

Just rooted following this guide from Cyanogens Wiki: Non-TMobile 32B Magics
Now just need to find a good Sense rom - Can anyone reccomend one?
Thanks

bought a mytouch

I just bought a myTouch 3g.
I have a G1.
Is there anything special I need to know about rooting this phone, and what would be the fastest 2.1+ rom to use?

We'll its really going to depend on your fastboot info (what SPL/radio your using) then you can go from there. The Androot method seems to be the now easiest method and from what I've read has a high success rate. You'll need to get your fastboot information then you can start searching. The answers to your questions are out there. The biggest thing with having the 3.5mm Jack is the ROMs available for it. There aren't many so your choices are limited.

Right.
So if I got the one WITHOUT the 3.5mm jack, I have more options then? okay.
Now, on the G1 some roms require a custom SPL. Is this the same on the MT3g?
Click to expand...

In most cases, no. The original MT3G (no headphone jack) is one of the easiest phones to root, which is kinda awesome. Download universal androot, then rom manager, flash the recovery and then install roms as usual. Way easy!

@can teh man
You NEED to post your information before you can get anyone here to help you.
All that we know at this point is that you have a MyTouch without the 3.5mm jack. But did you know that there are still different versions of your device? If someone gives you instructions (or reference to instructions) that is not meant for your device then you might end up with a broken phone. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR THIS!
Your next post in this thread better be with useful information to properly identify your device or I will delete this thread.
When your device is powered off hold down the volume button while pressing power. It should take you to a white screen. Post ALL information that you see on that white screen here in this thread and then we can help you.

I don't think he's actually got the phone yet. I think he was just trying to get a jump start on getting it rooted once he does. I could be wrong though.

I've got it rooted and I've got Rom Manager, Amon Ra [32B] installed... what do I need to know about radio and SPL for this phone?

I have same phone as u. U have new radio. I flashed 2005 eng spl to mine to get s-off. Fastboot purposes. Use amonra 1.7.0. Just make sure whatever u flash is for 32b. Most Roms for it will be in g1 section. Check the sticky section. Will have spl if u want Eng spl and list of roms. Try them out.

Is the SPL the reason why I can't use fastboot?

Yeah the S-ON means your SPL has security on which keeps you from running any remote fastboot commands from your computer. If you've already got AmonRa loaded on your phone your good to go and wont need to mess with your SPL/radio. Just start flashing ROMs.

Right on man, I couldn't find the right SPL for my phone. Thanks!
Now I know people have had trouble getting the trackball flashing to work... Does anyone have a suggestion?
I'd like to keep CM6, but I'm willing to revert to a 1.5/1.6 rom if need be.

[Q] Attempting Root but......Main Version Older

Ok, I recently got my hands on a MT3G, no 3.5mm, and I'm trying to root it. It came with Froyo already on it (2.2.1) and as far as I understad, no one click method works for 2.2.1? Anyway I'm trying to downgrade and use the goldcard method but I keep getting the Main version is older message. I've used 3 different sappimg files but same thing. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? This is my first time trying to root

You didn't make your goldcard right. Secondly, stop flashing different sappimg.zip's or you'll possibly end up bricking your phone. Lastly, this is rumored to still be working with the 2.2.1 update. If that one doesn't work, post your fastboot info here. With the phone turned off, turn it on holding back+power and post everything you see there.

I rooted my mytouch 3g a few days ago, I used super one click, and my phone has no 3.5mm jack. all 32b phones work with super one cancel so far i know

Ok guys the Super One Click method worked for me. Got rom manager installed. Made backup and now trying to flash Cyanogen 6.1. But it gets stuck in reset loop. What's the deal now?

Turn your phone off, then turn it back on holding back+power. Post everything you see there.

Try doing a full wipe "data, cache, dalvik-cache" and reflashing the ROM.

Your problem is that you have a 28.25 radio, which is new and cyanogen doesnt support it yet, he will soon enough though. You either have to find a compatible kernel with your radio or flash this rom

Flash this rom and it should work. If it worked hit the thanks button.

OK, about to try this now and will report back.
Report: It worked! Thanks alot for that tip and thanks to everyone else who took time to help this Android n00b

I think you need to get the 1.33.0013 SPL if you are using that radio... someone may need to confirm this, but you should look info that to see if this is related...

That's the spl I used and all is working great now

Was the hole turn on -->> turn off -->> turn on usb debugging needed?
I am still loking to root my newly brought magic and can't get to pass that, and seeming to be the only way to root a 2.2.1 phone I try to find out more.
thanks

I think you need to do that only if your PC is having problems detecting your phone. All I did was plug it in with USB debugging enabled.

Back to Stock

Hi all,
I have searched the forums here for an answer to my question but I couldn't find what I needed. What I am trying to do is to revert my wifes phone back to stock 1.5 as it came out of the box to see if I can get her teh OTA updates. I have read how to load ROM's and such but I would like to get back to completely stock. When I go to the fastboot screen this is what I see:

I also can't get in to the recovery by pressing and holding home and power. When I do that it just shows the triangle sign with the exclamation point and a phone pic.
Thanks for any help you guys could give me. I have a Vibrant and that thing is so much easier to mess with.

I have the same device and mine came with 1.6
FYI: To date this device hasn't received the 2.1 (or later) OTA updates. No ETA.

I don't think the OP has the myTouch 1.2 unless they got the wrong SPL flashed. It looks like they flashed the OTA SPL update for the 32B and then flashed the 1.2 radio.

That is what happened. It is the original MyTouch 1.2. I heard the 1.2 radio was better so thats why I flashed that. Would I have to flash the DangerSPL to revert back to 1.5, then start the OTA over again?

The easiest way would be to try running the stock sappimg and updates. I've put a guide up to do that in one of the threads on the first page. I think it was my thread on rooting, not the one for the myTouch 1.2, the other one.
