I finally got off my lazy fat ass and decided to root my phone.
Blck Mytouch 3g
CyanogenMod-4.2.13
Now I want to use the **** out of this phone! What awesome-better-than-non-rooted-phone stuff can this baby do?!

So i just upgraded to a Galaxy S I9000 and now have my old magic 32b lying around.
Is there anything fun I can do with it other then keep it as a phone? Maybe an alternative OS that makes it function as something else (kinda like rockbox on ipod).
I know it's probably wishful thinking but I don't wanna just get rid of it just yet.
Cheers
turn it into a psfreedom device to "jailbreak" PS3's
Keep it as a backup. God forbid your new phone break or go awry, you'll have a fairly good backup phone.

My Dash is just an in case phone
hi guys.
So, I am a noob. I used to be really intense with my HTC phones and that development but I unfortunately, got a blackberry. About a month ago I got the Samsung Captivate. I loved it. More than any phone I have ever had before. More than I imagined I could love any phone.
So, being a bored teenager, I decided to hack it. I did the one-click root. I thought it worked fine. Then I tried to flash a rom on it. Not only did it take forever, I lost apps, messages and everything. But whatever, right? I'm gonna have a sick phone. I ended up not having used one new feature of the rom. Not only that, but the phone is slower, the service just goes away in places where I would always have service before and it is now a challenge to use.
I miss being able to text in class and I miss being able to use the data whenever I want and I miss the old lock screens. I just want all of that back. Also, if I tell my dad what I did to it, he will kill me.
Is there anything I can do to just get everything back to factory. I don't care if I lose all my messages and apps and everything, I just want the phone back to the way I got it. Please help me. I will do anything you say.
Also, I mean no disrespect to the community. I think all of this hacking and moding is really cool and sick, it's just way over my head.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

So since mytouch was updated to 2.2.1 is it worth rotting still?
My old mytouch was in pretty bad condition so i never decided to root it... Well it fell in a big puddle of water so im filed a insurance claim and will have my new one Monday. Seeing as it wont be in such beat up condition do you think its worth rooting?
What are some of the benefits from gaining root? Not much of a phone hacking guy lol.
Know my way around a computer very well just i do not know what kind of benefits you will gain once ur root your phone.
I'v seen many links on how to root it not sure which one will be the best as most of them seem a bit old. Not sure if i will get another original mytouch or one with the 3.5mm jack
Not much of a reading guy are you either? It would really only take you 5min to either search here or google benifits of rooting, reasons to root etc....
But, if you cant do that, Id stay away from trying to root yoru phone because you will probably just end up bricking it and blaming it on a hard working developer

I have a virgin mobile intercept.. second one due to bricking my first one.
I was woundering what the safest way would be to root the phone. I mainly want better performance.. not really worried about anything else.
Hopefully someone could tell me what the safest and most stable kernel and recovery would be. I've been reading up a lot but still confused about what to pick out and what method to use to flash the kernel and recovery.
Thanks all.

It is somewhat laughable all of these wannabe phone modders who brick their phones, then run right back to the retailer where they bought the phone and cry so that they get a new one, then go right back to attempting to brick their phone again.
Hey, here's a thought ....if you brick your phone while attempting to mod it ....its yours...live with it. Don't run back to the retailer like a baby, rather, attempt to unbrick the phone yourself. Maybe then you'll learn something, because lord knows you're not learning modding, 'responsibility' (or anything else) this way.

dude you need to chill out, not everybody is technologically inclined. everybody messes up at one point in time, im sure you have. so how about instead of saying stupid **** you actually try to help people....hmmmm? how about that?
Lol, he's just the forum douchbag, and of course I'm going to get a new one if I'm under warranty. Far from technologically inclined, of done a lit, just didn't take my time. There's a reason I don't use XDA, the community seems to be filled with smart ass hot heads that don't care to help. Could of at least pointed me in the right direction then sit there and call me a... baby..? Lol.. amusing at the least.

I would recommend
You head over to the dev section - there are a bunch of different ways to root this phone - i personally used the data cable method for my phone and the apk for my girlfriends phone - both have resorted in perma root.
Since you have bricked this device before when attempting to mod it - i recommend you don't worry about custom rom/recovery right away - focus on getting the device rooted and removing some of the annoying bloat with a tool like Root Toolbox or Titanium Backup.
Hope that helps a little. Let me know if I can be of further use.
Search "Samsung Intercept Root sdx" and look for the one about an apk. Worked flawlessly.

I am not as blunt as "old_dude" but I agree completely with his point. When I bricked my first droid, which was a LG Optimus. I spent about 40 hrs at the computer fixing it. But I got it back to perfect working condition. I learned more about "Android" in those 40 hrs than I can describe. Not to mention the pride of fixing something most can't. So if you want to be any kind of Droid person fix it your self. Also alerting retailers to the fact you are trying to root your phone is pretty dumb. Even if you think they don't know, the phone you turned in has a log that lists everything you did from the moment you first turned it on!

Root vs tethering
Howdy all If you want Tethering but are afraid of losing your warranty Tmobile and HTC released an update for the myTouch 3G Slide.
It allows Mobile Hotspot and USB Tether and WIFI Calling. Cool Eh?
