hi,
i have a 32B my touch 3g.
im planning on rooting it using this guide.
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting
have a couple of questions, do i have to delete everything off my SD card?
can this mess up my phone permanently if done wrong?
now questions about roms.
i know theirs several different ones.
i dont really care about the looks, i just want the ROM that makes your mytouch a lot quicker, ive heard its possible to make it faster.
just wondering which ROM that would be and how would i go about installing it?
i just want a clean, quick, stable rom. its not that bad right now, but a little quicker wouldnt hurt.
i also heard some roms have internet issues / bluetooth and that stuff

Looks like you and me are in the same boat. I've already rooted my MT3G and have loaded Qtecks Hero rom on it. It's nice don't get me wrong, and I feel like one of the lucky ones being that I don't have any strange issues with my phone. The only thing that drives me nuts is every task takes about a 2 second load time.
Also, I find it rather poor to release a rom and call it working and stable when people are still getting blurry screens, dropped sms, no mms, Lost GPS and so forth. To me, that doesnt sound ready.
Im really thinking about load the original cupcake and saying good riddens until something thats actually stable come out!
i don't think any of the hero developers have called their roms stable. the only stable rom right now is cyan's rom.
another method of rooting your device is the one click method. it's straight forward and easy to follow. check out theunlockr.com for more info.

so as of right now there are no stable roms for the mytouch?
so i'm ditching my G1 because it barely works anymore. apparently theres something wrong with the motherboard and thats why any rom i install fails after a week and makes the phone unusable (even cranogen's rom died on my phone)
anyway i'm hoping to have better luck with the mytouch and with researching lately i've seen all this stuff about the 32a and 32b
As far as rooting goes, to my understanding, i just use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556200
Then toss whatever rom i want on the SD and i'm pretty much good. That right?
From my understanding, the 32B is the T-mobile mytouch and is exactly the same as the g1. which dosn't make me too happy. But if this is true, does it have anymore space for apps or is it the same 70MB bull****?
second question. I love the hero/sense ui and i'd love to use it on the myTouch. So i know the question people hate to hear but if without having to read through hundereds of post i'd like to know which one is the most stable and has the most space for apps. By stable, i mean i can install it and use it for 2-3 months with daily use. And i have about 100Mb of apps on my G1 so i'm looking for a rom with a lot of space.
And last question, If i want to unroot and go to the official 2.0 software when it comes out (doubtful, but i may) are there any guides to go about unrooting, searched but couldn't find anything that was very clear.
Thanks in advance. now if only the phone would hurry up and get here so i can stop using my g1 that has to reboot every 3 hours.

The myTouch has more space for apps, over 100MB, but I don't exactly remember how much. I've had the phone for a week now and it's definitely better than the G1, performance wise.

if you are running cyanogen on your mytouch, you have about 290MB to download apps. Try running Qtek's Hero v1.8, just make sure that you have your three partitions. If you want to upgrade to Eclair (2.0) if and when it comes out, I suggest you wait until a rooted version of the ROM is released because if you just upgrade, you will be without your Superuser access and you will just have to root your phone all over again. But I have had the mytouch since it first came out and I had the G1 before then. It definitely blows the G1 out of the water in terms of performance in my opinion. Though I still use apps2sd, the extra memory was very handy before the phone was able to be rooted. I had about 100 apps on there and I still had plenty of memory left.
thanks for the replies. the 290mb is amazing. I'll probably be running one of the hero roms, and thanks for giving me a recomendation. I just love the sense UI so much.
Glad to hear about the boost in performance as well.
So i take it that the rooting process is just like i said since no one mentioned that. Really looking forward to getting this phone and finally ditching the G1

How to un-root a tmobile MT3G in about 4 minutes. I followed this and it worked perfectly.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/
thank you for that. got it bookmarked now. hopefully getting the phone today. can't wait to get started on it. looks like this will be a much better experience than the g1.
The Post here has a full guide of Rooting/Unrooting and links to a guide for Goldcards. There is another guide for rooting without goldcards but it doesnt show how to unroot or return everything back to stock. Hope this helps.

Quick tip from a Magic user:
Don't update your phone (which will probably come with Cupcake 1.5 as stock) to Donut 1.6 using OTA, if it asks you to. Rooting Donut is a much lengthier process than rooting Cupcake, especially as you're wanting to run a Hero/SenseUI rom.
As you seemed to be hyped about memory, evil D:'s nano SenseUI is apparently a v lightweight version.

I got it used from craigs list so the guy had already updated it to 1.6.
And i saw your posts in the one-touch-root topic. any chance you can explain to me how to get it to work on 1.6?
and thanks for the recommendation for the hero rom.
Relentless Rooter didn't work for me, I used it to access fastboot and then flashed to an Engineering SPL.
As far as I know, an Engineering SPL will let you flash to any ROM using the fastboot > recovery > update.zip method as Engineering SPL allows you to use fastboot with the android sdk.
I'm not really qualified to explain to you 100% what to do, but I did this:

You would just cange the official ION rom with a senseUI rom, i think.

Hey guys, sorry if this turns out to be a topic that's been brutally repeated.
I've been lurking around here for a while, i've tried many roms and from all of them, found that SuperMagic (eugene373's) was quite possibly the fastest in my case. (Thank all the devs for their contributions, you're all amazing!)
Now though i love hero roms, i wanted to see if i could get a magic rom that had senseui, much like our distant 32a cousins.
I've been reading around and the only alternative i see at the moment is by QTeknology's 32b port over. (Which right now doesn't support wifi or bt, hoping that changes)
I'm currently running 1.6 cyan 4.2.5, because i can't get over the speed problems with hero roms.
I was wondering what my fellow mt3g users are doing as an alternative for not having a release from HTC for senseui?
did you fallow the exact specs that Eugene asked people to use like the swap partition and a class 6 sdcard an ext partition on the sdcard... you will most definitely not see a sense/hero ROM that is for the mytouch 3g tmobile phone cause we got screwed with the 32b board which a insignificant amount of ram that is needed for the sense ui to run fast I liked hero_over mt3gv.2 that was what I used to use but phone got stolen so I decided to try 1.6 out and liked it enough to leave it but I fallow the hero builds closely as I plan to switch back over some day
Yup, that's my Achilles' heel, i still have the stock SD card. Yeah. the 32a board having more memory makes the 32b seem like a jib.
I'm doing the same thing, waiting for something to come close. I did try Qtek's port, as i said earlier.
Quite possibly the fastest that i've ran into. If someone can get Wifi working with it, i'll settle for that build or one like it. I hope Someone gets it working!
you can always do hero. it's basically the same thing as senseui. qtek's is one of teh best and the only thing not working is bluetooth.
You sure about that? i flashed it yesterday and wifi wasn't working. it turns on but doesn't connect.

Are you talking about his senseui port, or the actual hero? His 1.8 hero cuz that is what I am running right now. I have wifi connected right now as well.
Oh! Different rom then, hehe. Come to think of it, i haven't tried his Hero rom. Only his port.
I should give it a try. I was getting ready to give it another try and play with the apn settings to see if that was the problem.
Edit: Qteknology Hero (WWE Dump) for G2 Magic-Voda 32B v1.8 Swap <-- This one, right?
Edit again: That was it, i'll give it a try, Thanks for hte heads up, Tazz.

yes. The apn's are not a problem with the wifi. you are going to have to add the apn so you can have your data with this rom, however. He doesn't have the apns set on this rom. So you should right it down if you do not know your apn settings. It'll save you some time.
I just took a look at his apn's conf on the hero rom, it's not in there, haha. I guess i'll just copy them there too. I assumed that they would be in there, but i guess they wouldn't be, this IS a vodafone rom, anyway. Thanks again for the heads up!
You can try Trojan final from Eugene, i havent tried many hero roms but im liking this one, its pretty fast and stable. I used overclockcpu and swapper in combo with it. It works like a charm. I do recommend putting the droid stock 32b over the original image as it will make it less woody and more hero.
anyone else experienced trojan final? im still waiting to hear wich one is fast, trojan or qtek . trojan does have everything working tho..
I've tried both, but on a very temporary basis. They're both pretty fast. But for some reason i still think supermagic was faster than both of them. i think it's probably because it doesn't have the default rosie. I dunno. They're both good, just not the kind of speed i'm looking for. when i pop settings or open the browser, i'd like something that's snappy.
Maybe i'm just too used to cyan mod at this point.
The only other senseui mod that was snappy was qtek's port for magic senseui. That's why i was really hoping wifi would work, but to no avail.

he has bluetooth working, but only if you flash over the 32A radio and recovery image. If people don't know their way around fastboot, they will brick there phone.
I can't even get fastboot to work lol. I'm thinking i have a driver issue. I boot into fastboot, says "fastboot usb" i tried to change the bootscreen menu, all it says when i try to flash over the first image is "waiting for device"
So i figured i wouldn't even mess with customer radios and different board radio/recoveries.
I don't even use BT, so i dont see a need to bother changing over to 32a setup.
Can someone PM me some 32b roms? or where you get them for Mytouch.
I wonder if i use the 32b to 32a radio method eugene has, if i would be able to flash 32a roms (32a rogers sense ui magic rom).

That wouldn't do anything for you. The advantage of 32A is that it has more RAM. 32A ROMs would run slowly on a 32b.
If i'm not mistaken, it requires less memory to run a 32a sense ui rom than a hero rom.
Correct me if i'm wrong.

even if thats true, i dont think either would run acceptably well on 32b. the mytouch came out over a year after the g1 yet tmobile didnt give it any more ram they just made it look different (and added rom but its not even worth mentioning). TMO just put the same turd in a different toilet, the mytouch just doesnt have the ram to handle any type of hero/sense ui.
Im really curious as to how much it costs tmobile to offer 192mb ram as opposed to the 288mb ram the magic has. They better have saved a hell of a lot of money.
I have used the search ahead of time, and was unable to find anything that explained what I was looking for, beyond a redirection, which I was unable to follow, so I did my best.
I am familiar with flashing, since I started with my Kaiser a few years ago, so I'm not null, but I do like to have a reliable bit of help to make sure I get it right the first time.
Now for my question. I really enjoy Senseui, and would love to have it on my MyTouch 3G 1.2 which is rooted, currently running the stock Fender ROM, and pretty much the same as the day I bought it. I've noticed there are a few ROMs in the Sapphire section that have sense, but require the 1.76 SPL and the 6.35.x.x radio.
When I look into flashing those, I continually find that my phone (MT3G 1.2) either can't or won't accept these requirements. The closest to a solution I've been able to track down mentions using a Hero recovery. I've exhausted myself trying to figure this out, I constantly search for updated ROMs, and any possible updates that would make my day, but I'm not seeing it happening, so I'm coming to you all for some help.
If you know how to get a Senseui ROM on to a MT3G 1.2, and can explain it, redirect me to a thread I couldn't find, or some other form of helping me out, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Again, my apologies if this is an unnecessary post, but I have used the search button, several times.
Here's my phone info, as it stands now...
Sapphire PVT 32A Ship S-ON G
Hboot-1.33.0013 (Sapp31000)
CPLD-13
Radio-2.22.23.02
I personally don't think flashing a new Radio or Recovery if you don't know if it works isn't worth the risk. However, there are two Sense UI ROMs compatible with the Mytouch 1.2 located here and here. It's disappointment that there are only 2 Sense UI ROMS, I wish there were more.

Yeah that..
Not quite Sense UI
But Try CM6R2 with the Vatsense theme+Fancy Widget or if you want weather animation Beautiful widget+beautiful live.. He has the stuff to make Launcher pro look like Rosie, but ADW now has a Rosie theme in the market(Slide sense)
Someone please explain to me why SenseUI is so special on a device that it is not specifically designed for it? Really. You won't have bluetooth and in some cases, camcorder, wifi, gps, etc. If you want a stable device use a rom without SenseUI.
But if you insist just use one for the G1.
I haven't even bothered to port anymore over because I got so tired of the private messages asking me how to get bluetooth working, how to make it faster and how to install it. I'm not going to lie... I enjoyed getting $25 in donations but it just wasn't worth it so I gave it up.

the only thing i like about Sense is the flipclock+fullscreen weather animations(i used CR_slide for a day and never got around to trying your port between superD and CM5)
If I understood Java and all the Android programing i would start porting roms over to the MT3G 1.2 but i seriously cant even successfully make a ADW theme in Eclipse

And you realize that there are apps that do that instead of having to have the full rom installed, right?
Okay, thank you all very much for the quick and thorough answers. I guess the reason I like the interface so much is because a lot of my friends have EVO's now, so I kinda grew used to seeing that, and I like how simple/clean it all is, and I was hopeful it would translate to being equally nice and useful on my little screen. Sigh, guess I'll just wait till T-MO gets some better phones, and hopefully that's only as far away as September, but I'm not holding my breath.
On a side note, I think that's my biggest upset with T-MO too, their Android support is quite lame. All the other carriers are rushing to get froyo to their users devices, and all we get is 'soon' over, and over, and over...
Anyhow, thanks again guys!
Yeah i listed the app i know of that does the animations *beautiful live*
As for sense ui on your 1.2 dude just wait the mytouch is upposed to get official froyo and possibly their version of sense *slide rom*

I really hope that we get a mytouch slide/ sence ui update but I honestly doubt that they would even bother with going through all the work to debug it for our phones.
So I know that this is completely off topic but is there any way that we could do this to our 32a 1.2s? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580486
I know the answer probablly is no because someone besides me would of figured out if it worked by now but I guess it never hurts to ask.
I live in an area that is about to transition to AT&T, so when my trusty Diamond died, I switched to the HTC Wildfire. Alltel is my provider, so that means CDMA. Alltel still calls it the Wildfire, but HTC calls it a Bee. There are more than just radio differences between the Wildfire and the Bee. Cosmetically, it is different, as is the bootloader version.
Here are the lines from the HBOOT screen:
BEE DVT2 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.24.0000
MICROP-0422
RADIO-1.00.00.10.01
Sep 9 2010,12:37:36
I like the size of the phone. I'm not a big fan of those huge screens, since I like to carry my phone in my pocket. I just don't feel right using a stock phone anymore, so I'd like to wipe the Alltel branding off and maybe get an AOSP ROM installed. That may be possible right now, but even if we can successfully root this phone, I worry that the lack of a Clockwork Recovery image may limit my adventurous nature. Also, I cannot find a link to a stock ROM, should I ever want to sell the phone or just restore it to OOTB software.
After poking around in various forums, it looks like this phone may have been dead-ended before I even picked it up. There does not seem to be a lot of effort to get it up-to-snuff, with respect to ROOT and ROMs. Not that it is a big deal, since I'll be on AT&T in a month or two anyway. I would like to lend a hand to any devs out there that feel like playing with it, but I'm not holding my breath.
Given that installing a ROM seems to be unwise at this point, what would you do with the phone? I could pay a little more and get the CDMA Desire, but the dev situation for that phone is not much better, and it is a pocket-buster. Looks like I'm stuck.
Not sure if you can root your phone yet, although someone with more experience would be able to tell you more. Your hboot is different than mine, my version can not be rooted yet.
You can find roms here http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buzz/
I'm fairly sure that this can be rooted, but since I can find no Clockwork recovery and no shipped ROM, there is no going back. The bootloader on mine seems to be an older one, so that should not be the hold-up.

What andriod version are you running then? Of couse you can do it, you just have to find a shop that has a xtc clip, buy one, or wait until unrevoked sorts their tool out ...
