need help rooting a 32B Mytouch 3g

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
Dave

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.??

I'm having the same problem, but it has nothing to do with the fact you have a 32B board. My last MT3G was a 32B, rooted with ease. However, T-mobile just sent me a replacement under warranty. Still a 32B, but with a different SPL. Its a perfected SPL 1.33.0007. I have not been able to root this yet and I've tried every method possible. The goldcard method is supposed to be the only way to root this as of right now, but it didn't work for me. I tried multiple SD cards and converted them to goldcards. I tried multiple SAPPimg files. Both zip and nbh files. No go. Some have claimed to have rooted this SPL but never seem to give much information as to how they did it, which makes me wonder. Anyway, check your SPL, post your specs on here and I'll let you know what can be done.

I have rooted that spl
if you want help PM me.

I PMed you, any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

P.S. sdcard must be inside phone to get the info you need to make the goldcard.
Edit: where should i upload it?

check theunlockr.com
they have step by step instruction as to how root and flash your phone. They also have videos in case you are not sure if you are doing it right or wrong.

Rogers HTC Dream Error 0002802 not allowed

Hi Just got a Rogers Dream from a friend in the following tree color state:
DREA210 PVT 32B RUUNBH
BOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-1.22.12.29
Sep 2 2008
Serial0
1) I tried safely to install Rogers rom for the htc dream but PC does not detect my USB port failing with error 170.
2) Read Forum for 2 hours, and tried stock firmware, made sure SD card formatted FAT32, DREAIMG.nbh and update.zip it did boot, loading... and error 0002802 not allowed showed.
Can someone point me to the right direction for the next steps?
What kind of more information can I provide? And how to get it? Thx

what are you trying to achieve? That dream is running the 1x radio with a stock T-Mobile spl, thus ought to be used like a T-Mobile g1,
You could run a true rogers nbh via SD card.. but this is probably not going yo give you the phone you wish to use.
Tell me the end state you want to be in we can help you get there.

My goal was to use the damn phone, after 12 hours of struggling I was able to install Haykuro Rogers dream, after that I want to SPL 1.33.2005, Rooted my phone and I installed cm-5.0.7-DS-test5 Rom.
All is fine now thanks for the response.

Ive got exactly the same issue, formatted SD to FAT32 and copied DREAIMG.nbh (RC7) to it. I get the not allowed error and then drop to the multi colored screen with:
DREA110 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.261

I am trying to follow the instructions on the cyanogen wiki to install Cyanogen 5.0.7 on a stock Dream purchased in Australia.
Any pointers will be appreciated, I have tried to reformat, different SD cards without any success.

Because the nbh is for T-Mobile in the states.. thus fails the carrier checks elsewhere in the world.
To get around these checks a goldcard is needed.
But before looking into that.. make sure you can't root by flashreq first. (I can't say I've used the Australian rom so I'm not really sure of your phones state.. the gold card will let you flash that nbh.. but if you can install recovery by flashreq that is safer)
It's usually best to search for people who have rooted the same stock rom as is installed on the phone.

i have a tmobile g1 its giving me the same error code"0002802" when i try to flash the DREAIMG.nbh file from bootloader. so i cant downgrade to rc29. i want to root the phone.any solution?

I answered this best I could here
With both a potential solution:
Did you try a goldcard yet? what was the result?​
And a question to help understand why:
Did you answer my question last time of when your phone was jtagged was it with my solution in the wiki or Omnia's solution?​

Okay I have the same problems as the op and I have the same radio, spl everything is exactly the same. The phone cannot boot into recovery whenever it starts it goes directly to bootloader. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Not even downgrading
Hello guys,
I tried already one goldcard, made all the procudures to get one and also didnt work, with the gold card says that no IMG not found, with the DREAIMG from USA and EU says that is 'not allow'. I tried as well the DREAIMG.nbh from USA and EU. I bought my phone in Holland, and his configuration is:
DREa110 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.000
CPLD-4
RADIO-1.22.12.29
If you can help me another way out. I'ven been try and I am stucked on this for 3 days.

0002802
strange, in my case I got a phone which I did not know if it was from Europe or the US. I just happened to get the "0002802" error when using what I assume to have been the wrong firmware (European in my case) as when I tried the US version everything worked fine.
Though for the Rogers phone the whole process seem slightly more complicated (check the Cyanogmode wiki for it under Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1 -- sorry Im new here and I cant post a link =D)

HBOOT: Main Version Older - Update Fail

Greetings potential saviors! I swear to you on my immortal soul that I have scoured these forums for an answer, and I can attest to having followed all 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 lend hand to someone as desperate as myself.
My phone 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 - android-build apa26#19
Build Number: DMD64
Sapphire 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 to flash the sappimg.nbh file. I followed the steps (theunlockr) and was successful according to their test of a computer being able to read the SD card after the process of copying 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 onto the process of flashing sappimg.nbh through HBOOT I continually received the same error message "Update Fail, Main Version Older." This error message appears as the update is finalizing the checksum process. Does anyone have an idea of what my next step should be? Is there a more recent sappimg.nbh file that I should use? Thanks for your help!

Problem Solved
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, which is needed for downloading Linda file manager for a subsequent step. After a short freak out, I then loaded the original sappimg that I downloaded from theunlockr redirect. Tada...was able to move forward with the root process and am now running Froyo!!! I hope this helps others.

Please HELP With T-Mobile myTouch 3G...

I purchased a myTouch 3G online last week. I sadly updated to the Android 2.2.1 and it makes my phone VERY SLOW and VERY SLUGGISH! I want my phone back to the original cupcake 1.5 I believe it is or after doing further research I want it to be the Donut 1.6 that I have heard so many good things about it.
Unless someone suggests something else. I just want a phone that ISN'T SLUGGISH and that will run smoothly and where I will be able to download and install the Android Apps & Games.
Here are my phone specs according to boot up:
Sapphire PVT 32B Ship S-On G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (Sapp30000)
CPLD-10
Radio-2.22.28.25
Oct 21 2009,22:33:27
I have tried to go back to factory settings and that doesn't work. I tried to doing the sappimg.nbh and get the "Main Version is older! Update Fail! Do you want to reboot device?" message. Is there ANYTHING I can do that is simple and uncomplicated?
I am not phone smart (better with computers) so PLEASE be patient and be nice to me. I have never owned a smartphone until now so I don't know all the technical terms for it so please make instructions idiot proof.
PLEASE HELP! I have researched and the only thing I have found is to do what everyone is calling the "Gold Card Method" which I am really trying to avoid if at all possible. Thanks so much!

Are you rooted ?

I don't know if it is rooted. I haven't done anything to it since I received it last week other then update it to Android 2.2.1 according to the phone.

Follow my guide, found in my signature, to root, get custom recovery and eng spl.
Then post here once you are done.
If the androot application does not work for your device, then use this tool to get root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682

Sorry I don't mean to sound like a complete and total idiot but which guide would I be following in your signature? How will I know if the androot application works?
Sorry for all the DUMB questions and I REALLY appreciate you taking the time to help me out and explain everything to me.

No problem.
On each of my posts, you see a line on the bottom. Below that line you see 4 links, E.g
APK(s) Installer tool
HTC Magic: 4 easy steps ROOT guide
......
All the tekst below the line is called a signature and is displayed on every post a member makes.
Only ONE of them is a link to a guide, guess which one :0)
In that guide, you will use an application called "Androot". Once you run it, it will try to root the phone for you. If it does not succeed, then try the superOneClick tool i referenced to earlier and continue the guide skipping the root section.

In your HTC Magic: 4 easy steps ROOT guide it states that it won't work for the new 2.2.1 version which is what I have. Am I in trouble if I try this and it "bricks" (whatever that means!) my phone???

Dude... if you are unsure, then do the research before you continue.
That guide was made like 1 year ago... i can't remember all the details.
That's why i made the ref for superOneClick.
Use the superOneClick tool and continue with the app skipping the root section.
AGAIN, if you are unsure, then don't do anything and research before you continue.
