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

Hi there,
i managed to root and flash cyanogenmod to my vodafone magic 32b and wanted to flash another splash screen which eventually failed. I found out that i have a perfected spl (1.33.0006).
Now, shouldnt this prevented me in the first place from flashing another rom and can I just flash another spl on my magic since i already have recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img running?! If so, can i take any spl or do i have to take a spefific version for my magic?

Sorry, I don't know that answer to your question but I have one for you!
I'm on the same phone (apart from i'm on HBOOT-1.33.0004), did you just flash Cyanogen like any other rom (like a hero rom for example)?
I have had hero roms but want to switch to Cyanogen and want to know if I just flash like any other.
Thanks! And sorry for hijacking your thread!
ok, i was bold and flashed Crios_SPL_1.33.2004 via recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img.
It now says

Basically I didn't! I think that is for someone who is upgrading from a previous version.
I just wiped then flashed the HTC update, then flashed the rom as normal and it worked.
Although I have no bloody keyboard!

Use any of the rooting methods you see, follow the step where they downgrade to 1.5 and install the patches and recovery. At this point you stand rooted.
Do not flash a new rom and you are good to go.

Hmm seems like your friend tried to run the rogers (32a) update on a tmobile phone (32b). Try to find a t-mobile ruu to revert back to the original software on the phone.
Try this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=659403 , there's 32b ruu roms.. but make sure you have usb drivers installed..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665814
official sappimg that will return the mytouch 1.2 or mytouch fender to stock.

Well your version(3.05.631.7 sent by PM) is set to fare up.
It's for the pure 32A roms.
I have no idea how you can fix it!
so there's no fix for the phone?

I has this problem too, you will need to make a Goldcard. A simple search will point you in the right direction
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
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/11548-cm61-2708port-for-new-radiospl-unofficial/
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.
I need help rooting my mytouch. Can anyone help or lead me to the guide/s necessary to root. I jus cant seem to get any progress on my own:

Weird... i know about more cases when people got root on 2.2.1. Try SuperOneClick - it is better and often updated...

Note: Some Antivirus-software may block utilities like UniversalAndRoot or SuperOneClick. That is why someone can not get root.

at first read this thread, then download and install z4root.apk from http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/z4root in your phone and root.... simple.... otherwise if you want to use ur pc to root, download http://shortfuse.org/?page_id=2 and follow the instructions. in my opinion , z4root is easier than super one click method. i tried both and my phone is same as yours. good luck.
