i was reading instructions on how to root but i belive its more difficult to root a 32b version. can someone show me the easiest way to root a 32b mytouch?
thank you so much.
Check out the Cyanogen wiki for instructions to flash his rom on your Mytouch, the instructions are simple. Yes, you also get root access.
when i attempt to flash to the sappimg i get an error saying "Main version is older"
and in the cyan wiki it says the goldcard method does not work.
im having the same problem...i never had these many problems rooting a phone . I have a g1 that i rotted flawlessly. not only did i hear the gold card method doesn't work but it also is very complicated. Im stuck! I really wish the one click root method work for the 1.6
Pvt 32b
hboot 1.33.0007 sapp3000
cpld10
radio 2.22.19.26i
when i had my g1 rooting was easy, this is a nightmare.
I think you have to downgrade to 1.5 to root. That's what I did. Good luck!
Also as mentioned before, check out the cyanogenmod wiki. It gives a very detailed instructions list to help you out.
downgrading to 1.5 is the problem we CANT!!!!

ARE WE THE ONLY TWO THAT GET THIS?!!!?
I think the only way is either suck it up and use the goldcard method or wait until flashrec updates the apk. we're screwed!
I had this message when I rooted my 32b device yesterday so I followed the gold card option and everything worked without a hitch.
I was told it didnt work in Windows 7 but it worked fine on my xp pc.
Happy to help if you have questions.
Cheers

Guess its a 32B problem, im able to downgrade to 1.5 but them im getting an error when im trying to use Flash Recover to back up my files.

Are you following this steps form the cyanogen wiki?
h t t p ://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
I had the problem with flash recovery when I was running it under 1.6. Once I downgraded back to 1.5, it works fine without a hitch. Flashrec version: flashrec-20090815.apk.
same error message
I'm getting the same error message. I have previously rooted around 10 mytouch phones without problems, but using the same procedure now is giving me that error. It looks like the Hboot software has been updated on any newer phones and is having an issue with updating (or backdating, I suppose) to 1.5
If anyone has a work around I would love to know it.
The old version of Hboot that used to work is HBOOT-1.33.0006
The new version, which is not working, is HBOOT-1.33.0007
Anyone know of a way to backdate the HBOOT software?
WTF....
This phone is impossible to root (over acting,but pissed off) I've tried everything I've read online...I was able to build a goldcard from unlockr's web page,and when installing the sappimg file the damn phone still doesn't want to give up the 1.6....there has got to be something or someone out there that has encountered this bullchip and fixed it
I have a 32B mytouch. did you try unrooting first, before rooting? Just a thought bc i had to do it before rooting, and i had never rooted my phone before that.
do i have root???
HBoot - 1.33.0006 (SAPP 30000)
CPLD - 10
Radio - 2.22.19.261
As i search the forum, i realized that i have "perfected SPL"...that would require me to go through "goldcard" method. I tried and it was so complicated for me...
And then i saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633895 which said you should follow cyanogen's method on this site http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod.
so i follow the steps and everything worked out and now i have cyanogens rom running on my MT3G. .... now my question is ....do i have root??...
can i flash other people's roms assuming i have all the right radio and SPL...
when i try to install Amon_RA's recovery img through Terminal Emulator, after i type $su and hit enter....nothing happens....it does not ask me for su permission????.....
Please Help....If i dont have root how was i able to flash cyanogens rom??
do i need to do the goldcard method....or am i set...with root.??

Help please.. some one...
I can try and help ...
I had tried the xda-dev post entitled [How-To] Root and un-root the T-Mobile myTouch 3G, and I was receiving the same errors you described. I tried creating the goldcard following this xda-dev page Qns wrt SG Htc Dream and SDcard, even though I followed the hex editing info exactly, I continued getting the same errors similar to what just you described. I tried it using the exact method, which meant I had to wait to create the goldcard at work, since I don't have a windows machine at home (not trying to imply that this couldn't be done on Windows, just letting you know about what happened with me, when I was trying it too).
After trying most things and getting practically fed up, I decided to find out if I could just create the gold card on Ubuntu (since I didn't want to wait any longer). There was a Tutorial for the that I found my searching google Nazri Awang: How to create a goldcard with Ubuntu Linux, which is what I used finally to successfully create a working goldcard. I would have given you the links, but as newer posting member here, I am unable to link using any outside links in this forum yet.
I can try to and help you as I struggled with this last night and at the end of the evening, I am now running a 2.1 cyanogenmod version. I would like to document what works this time, as I really didn't get a chance to do that when I was trying to figure it out for myself. If you want send me a private message here, and I will IM you as soon as I can to try and help. We can then post the how-to here so that others can benefit from it.
Let me know either way.
Thanks,

Can you either paste the link here, or put the title of the tutorial or wiki you used to create your goldcard. After creating it before doing anything else did you try and insert it back into the phone? Does it do that successfully?
Thanks!

Greetings potential saviors!!! I swear on my immortal soul that I have scoured these forums for an answer, and I can attest to having followed technical instructions to the T, but after countless hours of suffering through endless failures I am humbly asking for the assistance of someone wiser, someone stronger, and someone with the compassion and fortitude to help someone as desperate as myself.
My phone, like the others mentioned in this thread, is a T-Mobile myTouch 3g (Google branded) with the following specs:
Firmware Version:1.6
Baseband Version: 62.50SC.20.17U_2.22.23.02
Kernel Version: 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37 - [email protected] #19
Build Number: DMD64
saphire pvt 32B ship s-on g
radio 2.22.23.02
cpld-10
hboot 1.33.0007 (SAPP30000)
I'm trying to root my phone and from what I have read it is necessary to create a "goldcard" in order for the phone to flash the sappimg.nbh file. I followed the steps (theunlockr) and was successful according to their test of being able to read the SD card after the process of coping the goldcard image to the micro SD. I've made four separate goldcard's using Kingston 2GB cards, each time I believe successfully.
When moving on to process of going into HBOOT I continually receive the same error message "Update Fail, Main Version Older." This error appears as the update is finalizing during the checksum process.
Does anyone have an idea of what my next step should be? Thanks for your help!

Can try itnet7's idea. Perhaps something is failing with the goldcard. other then that, other random things I guess you can try, is re-downloading the nbh, or try another brand sd card.

Perhaps they might work. Goodluck.
Problem solved! It turns out that I required a later version of the sappimg file. I used 2.53.707.2 sappimg (Google searchable). The only issue is that when the phone booted with that image it did not have andriod market installed (need for the Linda file manager). After a short freak out, I loaded the sappimg from theunlockr redirect. Tada...was able to root and now running Froyo.

The 2.53.707.2 sappimg did not work for me but "SAPPIMG_Sapphire_TMUS_1.88.531.1_COC10_release_signed.nbh" did. Search in google - lots of download links. I used the goldcard method.
Just a quick question re HTC Magic rooting 2.1. I tried to use the SAPPIMG method, but it gave me the wrong model ID error.
In order to downgrade my device, is my only option to create a goldcard?
Or is there some other way to get back to 1.5 or even 1.6 on my magic. (I have had very poor luck with gold cards on my hero... never got it working.) Or has Androot been updated to support 2.1 or was the exploit patched?
Thanks again.
Check out my signature
I followed the steps on your process but got stuck at step 5.
It says that I do not have the right permissions.
what do I do to fix this?
I have had my EVO for roughly two weeks and I would like to root it. I tried the Simple Root method and it failed. After multiple tries it always said "Main Version is Older. Update Failed". I watched the step by step video and did EVERYTHING I am suppose to. And this is before it even really did anything. So I took the advice of a few forums and formatted my SD card and then even did a factory reset. The Simple Root still failed on the same spot. Then I tried to use the Unrevoked method. It failed right at the start too and said "Failed To Push Recovery. Terminated". What the heck is going on?! What can I do to root my phone?? Can someone please help me out here??
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: 2.15.00.11.19
Software Number: 3.70.651.1
your phone is newer .. and you might be using an old method, which will not work on your newer phone.
what method did you try?
here is one that is good for newer evos.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448
Use unrevoked3 but u have to install the correct drivers in ur computer and delete HTC sync. I've rooted two evo a hero an Eris a g1 and a g2 with unrevoked. If u follow all the steps it will work
Ok so I uninstalled HTC Sync (which I had installed because Simple Root told me to) and then I tried using Unrevoked. It worked beautifully! It was done so quickly I had to look and make sure it actually worked. Thanks for your help!
Anytime. Enjoy ur better faster evo
I also have a pc36img.zip with recovery on it, but if you update your phones htc software you lose it. if anyones interested.. i just put it on my phone, went into recovery after the update and installed kings ultra unleashed.. rooted my phone and everything. was easy peasy.

It does work. I have an inspire and had to select unlisted device. However a boot loader unlock != root.
thanks for your rply bro
I downloaded RUU, as instructed at htcdev.com
but that always gives an error 102, battery is less then 30%
though my battery is fully charges
unable to unlock my bootloader
You need to downgrade your device.
When you download AAHK, there is a manual inside it (the 'effin manual). Read it without skipping anything.
Inside the manual you can find instructions on downgrading your device. You need to do so before you can root on 2.3.5
If you are having problems booting your phone now, go back to stock ROM by doing the following:
Go into HBoot, then into fastboot.
Connect your DHD to your PC via USB.
Wait for the PC to recognize it.
Download this RUU: http://www.filefactory.com/file/cf9...60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.exe
Run it as administrator and follow instructions
hi can you complete this step?
when my htc desire got into soft brick while I was trying to root, attn1 gave me this very same instruction so I got my phone running again on stock
I want to learn this in case my phone got stuck again at the HTC logo (after flashing the radio)
1. go to HBOOT
2. go to fast boot
3. plug device into computer and make sure it read FASTBOOT USB
then he told me something to run cmd prompt as admin and
adb something something, then asked the directory was where I put my PD98IMG (which was on my desktop)
sorry I can no longer remember so I am asking for your help.
can you complete the steps above so I can try rooting again. I know that If I get stuck I can push the stock rom again
I really want to root my device.
Maybe try what is written in this post: h t t p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396253 (Sorry, cant post links properly yet.)
This has all of the instructions for being stuck at the hboot screen.
