Rooting Mytouch3g 32b(t-mobile/voda) Without goldcard

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?

Vodafone Magic Gets Official 2.2.1 OTA Update!

From the Android Community blog:
Vodafone UK has begun the release of its Android 2.2.1 update for the HTC Magic. According to the company’s forum, the Magic Froyo update will be a two-stage OTA affair: one update to prep the phone, and the second to actually install Android 2.2.1.
The update’s release will be staggered, so you’ll have to wait for your Magic to flag up that new software is available; there doesn’t appear to be a way to manually trigger the install. Still, we’re glad to see that the ageing Magic hasn’t been left out in the cold.
“Android 2.2.1 will give customers a number of improvements including: latest Gmail and Android Market clients; ability to save applications directly onto an SD card; support for USB tethering so the phone can be used as a modem; improved support for Active Sync Exchange (email, contacts and calendar sync); enhancements to Bluetooth; and enhancements to the camera. The update also includes the latest Google security patches.”

No, is a Sapphire 3B. Exactly the same hardware than My Touch 3G in America.

Hopefully someone can check their log cat for the URL, or extract the update.zips from /cache before upgrading.
This if this is an OTA it will not have an ruu.. but it is interesting to see if we get yet another radio or if there is any changes from the tmobile image.

Hi,

You will need the old radio + old rom (you can keep 1.33.0013d it will prob. block the actual install but with some hackery in /cache using exploid or androot you could make it work. To get the files.
The problem from my point of view is its not exactly trivial and I don't have the same hardware.
Chances are the 1st part is 1.33.0013 like the t-mobile update, and the second part the 2.2.1 update. But maybe they have another spl for us.

For steps 1&2:
If you have 1.33.0013d yes just make sure its the Vodafone nbh otherwise the update won't be fetched.
This will install the original spl + radio + rom + recovery
As for step3.. you want root to poke things but best to leave recovery alone.. androot or exploid are your better bets.
Mind you once you upgrade I can't promise you can re-root (likely the method used on the t-mobile phone will work but androot/exploid are patched iun 2.2.1)

it will make it easier to "extract" bsdiffs without the previous rom's files

You have to rename it to update.zip and after that install it with bootloader (turn your phone off and turn it on with [Volume Down] + [ON/OFF] ).
When it's finished reboot it and tadaaaa FROYO.

*Live wallpaper picker is not in the sapphire asop build .. just push the apk from cm6.1
Once that is installed get some lwp from market

You've got the new 32B radio which a lot of ROM's don't support. After flashing CM you need to also flash the 2708 kernel patch. Search for ezterry on here, download his kernel, put it on your SD card along with CM 6.1 and the Google Apps Add-on, boot into recovery, wipe system/cache/dalvik-cache, and finally flash the 3 files from above. Make sure you flash the 2708 kernel AFTER flashing CM 6.1.

Google the APN settings for whatever carrier the SIM card is with. At the Google activation screen, hit menu, then wireless networks, then "Access Point Names". Either edit the existing entry to match the settings for your carrier or add a new for your carrier.

Thanks.. but
Thank you very much DonJuan
i get it worked and at least i can use it like a Phone
i try to root it with one click root but superuser permisions dont work,because of that i cant install clockwork recovery trought ROMmanager (it says An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands)
maybe i need to try another rooting metod or something..

Try using SuperOneClick. You may need to install superuser from the market after running it.

after making goldcard u can again use u r microsd normally
so just make a gold card and copy the rom into the sd root
if the rom is flashed then every thing is fine
if doesnt work u will recieve a notification called

i'm stuck in the beginning itself.
whenever i try to put the Downgrade_v2.zip in C:\ drive it gives an "Error 0x80070522 : A required privilege is not held by the client."
so i'm not able to put the Downgrade_v2.zip in C:\ drive.
Is there any other way to use cmd.exe to locate the Downgrade_v2.zip file as cmd.exe doesn't recognise the downgrade file at any other place on computer.
plz help !!! its urgent !!!

i guess i did it from the desktop itself.
no need to put the file in C:\ drive

try your desk top folder. then when extracting just make sure you know where to find the files.

Help !!!plz its urgent. !!!
i am using root manager for the first time.
i successfully downgraded my desire hd. installed visionary and did the permanent root.
did the radio S-OFF successfully.
tried the Eng S-off but failed.rebooted the phone.
i checked it with root checker application and it showed that i have rooted my phone.
i installed rom manager and flashed clockmod recovery successfully.
now i put my leedroid rom on the sd card and press "reboot in recovery" in rom manager.
my desire hd boots up and what i get is a phone icon with a red triangle with a red exclamation mark on it .
i removed the battery and restarted my phone.
this time i press the power and volume down button.
i go down to recovery mode and click it on the bootloader screen.
again the same phone icon with a red triangle with a red exclamation mark.
no button works and i have to remove battery again.
What should i do now ???
i'm totally stuck.

your CWM Recovery didn't flash successfully. Next time don't pull your battery press volume down and hold then press power button. it will show you a menu that allows you to reboot your DHD.
Try to reboot your DHD holding the volume down button until the boot loader appears. chech that the first line has something that says
ENG S-OFF or in my case the whole line was
ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
then reboot the phone and flash recovery I believe you have to have Radio S-OFF to be able to flash recovery.
did you use the one-click easy S-OFF and one-click Radio S-OFF tool. if not try to search for this in the forums. I believe they are by jkoljo. This worked for me like a charm. happy ROM-ming.

I rooted DHD any shiprom. No need to downgrade...

I think u flashed successfully the cwm.. why do u want to install custom Rom by traditional method just go to Rom manager from there download ur Rom and click on it.. Rom manager ll do the job for u ... K.I.S.S.

CWM has a different logo I think it is/was an android guy on a skateboard. whereas stock recovery is a triangle with exclamation point inside. So it means something went wrong when he flashed his CWM and would lead me to believe that his S-OFF process went awry. So checking S-OFF is easy. Reboot to bootloader and the info is on the first line.
