Guide To rooting mytouch 3g 32b (Even if you have 1.6 update)
Propz to:Amon_RA, andreev2001, Cyanogen, and any one else sources I used
Ok after Searching the forums and finding all types of ways to root a Mytouch and having some/no luck I decided
to created a thread that goes into complete detail(or try to at least) about each step that is guaranteed to work if done correctly.
READ
This guide does not require a goldcard or adb . I am also not responsible for bricked/broken phones. Now since that's out of the way happy rooting!!
IF your phone is currently running 1.5(cupcake) already then skip to step 3
1.First of all we can't really do anything with 1.6 so we must downgrade to 1.5 by downloading this sappimg.nph and installing it
2.Once downloaded put it on your sdcard and reboot and go into hboot mode (Hold END+VOLUME DOWN). Preform the update
3.Once update is COMPLETLY finished and it asks you to reboot. Do so, then load your phone up fully and download this apk here (flashrecovery.apk) then run it.
Skip these steps and go to step 4 if you know how to install a apk
3a.to install this apk you have to enable the install unkown source in your settings. To do this hit menu >Settings>Applications>Unkown Soruces(check this).
3b. After this go to the market and download a app called "Astro" (the description should mention somthing about file manager) or you could use another apk installer but I prefer this one.
4. After installing the apk run it and click on “backup recovery image” let it do what it does then click on “Flash Cyanogen Recovery 1.4″.
5.Once that is done you want to download the SPL by clicking here, then put it on your sdcard. After that download any ROM(If you dont know what a ROM is search, I cant tell you everything ) of your choice and rename it "update.zip" without quotes then place it in your sdcard
6.Reboot your g1 and hold down the "HOME" key and it should bring up the flash image recovery screen. Choose apply any zip from sd and then choose "update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2005-signed.zip". It finishes almost immediately with message saying successfully flashed(if it doesn't you prolly ate to much chicken ).
7. Then after it is installed select the restart option and then load into fastboot mode (Hold "BACK" arrow key while its restarting). Once fastboot is loaded the SPL info should say HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP30000). If it does congrats almost there!!!!! If it doesn't, you did somthing wrong and you need to retrace you're steps.
8.Exit fastboot by hitting the "GREEN" button and before the phone boots up hold the "HOME" button and then go to "apply sdcard:update.zip". Let it install and VOL LA you installed your ROM. Preform a reboot and you will now have a rooted phone with a custom ROM
1) thanks for posting, ive tried to follow other instructions over the past few days to no avail
2) any chance of hosting the sappimg.nph file somehwere else? I cant access rapidshare from my phone. I would greatly appreciate it.
OMG SOOO EASY!!!! Mods should sticky this as the new root / rom upload process
I was running android 1.6 on tmobil mytouch 3g with perfected spl 1.33.2006
@ascis sure ill host the files on my website later (im not @ home right now)
@nonmindo thanks and i hope u had a easy time rooting

Thanks for posting - much appreciated. Can I ask what the benefit of changing the SPL is? Is this required?
My concern is regarding warranty - if I flash a new SPL, it is my understanding that I will not be able to flash my current one back, and hence return the phone to stock if the need arises.

Yes, it is required. You cannot root with the MT3G SPL, so you need to change the SPL.

You can flash it back to the original SPL. You would then be unrooted. Look at Amon_RA's original rooting process with Gold Card. At the bottom, he gives directions on how to return your phone to the unrooted state in case you need to do that.
Thanks, I thought with one-click-root, once you'd got the recovery rom flashed, you were done - that you had root and could flash what you liked.
For the record, I'm Voda 32B, but have perfected SPL .0007.
[EDIT] Yes, that thread has a file to return to stock, but only for MT3G, which is why I am hesitant to flash a new SPL to my device.
I've still seen in lots of places mind, that suggest this process works without the flashing of a new SPL. Such as: http://www.ryebrye.com/blog/2009/08/16/android-rooting-in-1-click-in-progress/
[EDIT]
What happened to the ability to format and
and put partitions from the recovery? I just got another Mytouch and rooted it and no ability to put the partions from the recovery mode? I think I had version 1.2 and now I have 1.4

You still can, but not with the recovery img ur using wirch is cyanogen 1.4. Just flash amans new recovery img and you will be able to partion
4. After installing the apk run it and click on “backup recovery image” let it do what it does then click on “Flash Cyanogen Recovery 1.4″.
backup failed:I received that could not run command

I have rooted my myTouch3G with the 1-click method (twice actually, needed to take it to the store), and I have the perfected SPL 1.33.2006.
The main issue with this SPL is that it does not allow you to use fastboot. As far as I know, this has nothing to do with root access.
Can confirm that I've performed the OP's procedure but *without* flashing a new SPL, and everything is working fine.
Now running CyanogenMod 4.2.2 w/ CM Recovery 1.4.
Does anyone have the link to the partitions recovery? I tried to put the Hero recovery on and it does not want to come on and I still show the Cyanogenmod v1.4 +jf....someone help
Also in the top it has Andriod system recovery (2)? I did it twice, how do i take one off?

vodafone htc magic 32b gives error to ur method
error "update fail model id incorrect "
i think this sappimg is for the mytouch and not for htc magic vodafone. so it gives this error.
do you have any solutions for this.

Flashed last night, worked perfectly. I had no idea it was going to be this much faster. Thankyou.
I am looking for a rom that has a wifi tether app!
yes I am to the step where u download a rom and I am looking for a rom that has WIFI TETHER for my laptop...
much will be appreciated if u can help=D
- THANKS
well i guess right now i just want my phone rooted...
i just want a rooted phone cuz i can download a wifi app i just need a rooted phone....thanks for your post though....much much much much appreciated...nice and simple...other post or vids ive seen go to far in to detail about it and i forget what step im on .lol
-THANKS
I came to this phone solely because there are so many roms to choose from and a lot of development. In the past I have worked flashed dif galaxy s phones, and mytouch 4g so I am not a complete noob.
When i power the phone on these are displayed:
R: 2.10.50 26
G: 15.39..50.07U
D: 2.13.90963 8G
In settings my flash size is 1024mb
I read the guide through and I just want to be 100 percent clear that my phone is capable of something before I flash it. So in short, do I just flash hardspl to phone, then magdlr, then the rom? I have a macbook pro and my windows desktop is old and sucks so I try to avoid using it whenever possible. Once i flash hardspl and magdlr can I use clockwork recovery to flash my rom? I am going for the cm7 nightlies. All help is greatly appreciated!
Yeah that's correct. I don't think there are any osx installers though, so you'd probably have to do all this through bootcamp. I don't have a mac so I don't know about the stability of bootcamp, but you really gotta make sure your computer doesn't crash during the flashing process, especially HSPL.
After having Magldr installed you can either use that to flash, or indeed use clockwork (which I recommend). MDJ's Gingerbread is a great CM7 nightly build.
Thanks for your quick reply! How long does it take to flash hardspl? And do I need to have that activesync thing going with windows mobile? This phone is 100% stock I dont want to back it up so can I just avoid windows mobile active sync and run that program in the noob tut
And one more thing, do I need to check to see if my stock spl is supported? What is everything I need to verify to ensure I will not brick the phone due to flashing the wrong thing? Thanks
Go to the guide, it tells you what you need in there. HSPL takes seconds to install. Once that is installed, it's pretty hard to brick your device. Just be wary when installing a stock rom. Best advice is to read lots.
Good luck.
:edit:
I'm not sure if you need active sync. I'm 99% sure you do, but I may be wrong.

Flashing HardSPL takes about 20s.
A rom takes about 10m. You can also check this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925509
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948
They explain how it works. Even with video.
good luck!
I'm guessing you have a T-Mobile so watch out! Don't flash an EU-radio.
If you want android your radio is good. No need to change it.
Flashing a rom takes only 3-4 minutes, but it will stop at 96% or 99% for a few secs, so don't freak out
also be sure to flash the newest version of HSPL. and check the youtube vidz, there many around. you don't even have to read, just google youtube+HD2+hspl
The support for this phone is much better than other devices, quick responses thanks! Just to be safe I am trying to find the windows sync thing for the phone. When I am finished flashing hardspl and magdlr do I need to format my sd card to a special way or can I just delete all the stuff on it and put the rom?
I strongly recommend that you first install the official 3.14 firmware, It has the newest radio so you don't have to worry about bricking your phone. After that flash hdspl and you are safe and ready to install magldr and Android.
Depends on the rom, zip, app2sd+, cwm, anything which mentions ext2/3/4, data.img data on sd, all require certain partitions. I would recommend starting with projections rom. It's quick and easy to get started with, and is a good base to get some confidence.

I just installed the hspl and now i am going to do the magdlr. Really I only want cyanogen mod 7 nightlies on here. I am pretty confident its just whenever it is my first time with any phone I like to be 100% clear because they all vary. I didnt get to looking at the installation of cm7 yet but I am sure I will be going to ext4 with it too. What format do sd cards come stock? I just wiped everything on it but im guessing thats not enough lol.
Um confused... I just got around to flashing magldr 1.12 and it said on screen and in guide post it will take ten min, it took no more than 30 sec. It did boot me into the black magldr screen though so i guess its good. Now can flash cm7 or is there other stuff. I am sure I will find out with more reading which i am about to do but I would like to use cwm to do it.

It's just a very wide margin to prevent people from flooding the forums if the flashing takes a little longer than expected, 30 seconds is normal.
Go to the clockwork thread and follow the 7 steps posted, you can then use CWM to flash CM7.
I have been trying to flash with usb flasher and I keep getting an error.
Error Description: USB init failed.
Can I flash cwm from magdlr? Every time I reboot it goes to that.
I see two possible problems here:
- In Magldr, have you picked menu item #4? (Something like USB Flasher). If you can still see all the options on the menu, you have not correctly selected it.
- Your USB drivers are not correctly installed. Reboot computer, power off and unplug phone, replug and restart Magldr. Wait for drivers to correctly install.
I just did what was suggested and same thing. Can I install it a different way? Option number 5 is usb flasher, 4 is mass storage.
My bad, I'm still using an older version of Magldr where it's #4.
What are you flashing by the way, CWM or CM7?
By the way, are you running the flasher as admin? Not sure which OS it is you're bootcamping, but right click on the installer and choose Install as administrator should be an option. Might be the problem!
I am on my desktop pc which is xp so I do not believe i need to run as admin. I was just checking out another post in this forum that has a fix for nand usb init failed, I am lost as to what daf.exe is. It sounds when I figure that out I should be good to go.
And I am trying to install cyanogen mod 7 mdj's version. If I can not get usb thing to work could I install clockwork mod without having to use computer and jsut put a .zip file on sd card?
I just hit run and typed DAF.exe and there isnt one. I am not completely lost lol
DAF.exe is the clockworkmod flasher.
I'm not sure what's going wrong, but just try everything again and make sure you follow the instructions very closely, you're probably just overlooking something somewhere.
Hello again everyone, I recently purchased a used HTC hd2, it has android on it now with clockworkmod recovery app also, But I want to put CM7 on it, So I reboot....Hold down power....select number 8 for the recovery, and it says go go go......but does nothing, I have a slide 3g my touch as well, but I am not comfortable with this phone yet....2 questions....I want to install cm7....can someone link me the exact file I need?...I'll worry about diff roms and themes later.....AND...How do I get into recovery to flash this cm7 rom?...I have mgcldr 1.3 on the phone now, a 8 gig sd card...I want to install the apps to the sdcard as well.....I have searched all over the forums and google, but like I said, I am confused on this only cause it is so new to me, and a bit different than mt3g......Help?...Thanks so much for reading.......Larry
find a good CM rom, and there you will find all instructions, usually it tells you how to.
but you can always reflash magldr and then go by ROM flashing instructions to reflash CWM recovery.
If choosing 'ad recovery' stops at 'go go go', i'd first try it a couple more times. I've had recovery fail a time or two the exact same way, only to work fine the next time I tried it.
If it just won't go into cwm recovery after trying a few times, re-flash cwm recovery with the appropriate system partition size for the rom you intend to flash. Do this by hooking your phone up to your pc by the usb cable and choosing 'usb flasher' in the magldr menu and then flash the recovery image. There is a thread to find your cwm recovery image in the 'hd2 android nand development' forum. Each nand rom thread usually says in the first post what size recovery image is preferred for that particular rom.
The hd2 may seem a bit confusing coming from a native android device, but compared to the mt3gslide, it's pretty straightforward, what with the slide's s-off procedure and the old rooting methods (I rooted back before rooting the slide was super easy lol). Once you can load up cwm, you'll feel right at home, it's just like flashing your old slide from that point on.

Hey
You may have a older version of CWM on your HD2. Go to option #2 Boot AD SD and see if that boots CWM If that works you are good but I do recommend going to the CWM threadcand downloading the newer version of CWM, just check the thread on your ROM to see what partion size you need with CWM. If it does not work you might have to flash the newer version anyway as the oder version required you to place two files for CWM on your SD card. The new CWM just flashes to NAND memory like a ROM would. You can either click on the link to CWM in my sig to go to the thread on CWM or you can click on my guide I wrote on MAGLDR and CWM that I have linked in my sig also. I Really recommended you read my guidecas you said you are new to the HD2. It will tell you exactly how to flash both versions new and old of CWM and all kinds of stuff that will help you out. All you need to do when downloading anew ROM is make sure you get the ROM download that says for MAGLDR or has MAGLDR in the file download link in the ROM thread. The ROM download links are usually in the first or secound post of the ROM thread. There are several CM7 based ROMs in the HD2 Android NAND Development forum. Just look for the Cyanogen 7 or CM7 in the thread title. Here is a link to the forum.

So I bought a hd2 rooted to android I don't know alot about rooting but Im a quick learner. I think it's rooted with NAND and madglar or something and when it boots it says dft I think. So the problem is it doesn't have root acsess I guess they rooted it wrong so I want to put it back to stock and normally to unroot you put it in recovery mode well when I turn it off and on holding the down arrow it comes up with the rainbow screen and is stuck there and won't go to bootloader so I'd like to have it back on windows to try again or leave it there but I'm stuck and watched hours of videos can someone help please. Side note I don't care about root acssess but something was messed up with the signal with the bad root and i have horrible connection most places.

I think all of the NAND Android ROMs come rooted, and there is no such thing as a bad root. NAND Android may have flashed incorrectly, but I doubt it has anything to do with root. What you should do is download a ROM (it can be any ROM for your appropriate HD2 [TMOUS or EU]) and enter bootloader, then flash the ROM from there. The bootloader IS the tricolour screen by the way.
Alternatively, you could Task 29, flash Radio, flash MAGLDR, flash CWM then flash ROM if you want to keep Android (and a much more stable version, DFT stock Desire is very old)
So I have a stock rom on my desktop but how do I flash it to the phone and sorry when I saw videos they were on the multi colored screen then it went to a white screen but mine doesn't and I said bad root because it's only half way done like it runs android but superuser doesn't work and root checker says no root acsess

1- The only thing that says DFT when booting is old Windows Phone 7 roms (And DFT's Stock Desire NAND), you sure you have android? (or do you mean the very first screen?)
2- Rainbow screen is the bootloader.
3- On that rainbow screen does it say Cotulla or HSPL or both?
4- If it does say, just download your preferred WinMo6.5 ROM and install it using the HD2 toolkit while being in the bootloader (rainbow).
5- As Nigeldg has said, all Android ROM come pre-rooted (only DFT Stock Desire NAND is not rooted)
1 yes I'm sure
2 ok
3 both
4 I'll try where can I get the tool kit
5 idk what that means
So you know you have hspl... then that's a good start... now reflash magldr 1.13.... once that goes well... flash a 250 or higher partition clockwork recovery.... to do that you have to be in magldr boot screen.. and select flash via USB... let me know how that goes... if still have trouble just pm me... we will get it running

1. Is not strictly true, see this video, skip to around 7.30, DFT logo on bootup.
@ OP enter bootloader and connect USB. You should see 'USB' at the bottom (replacing 'serial' or something like that). Once this is done, flash the ROM from the bootloader.
Or, better, reflash a new Android ROM.
Hey Guys,
at first, i hope this question isnt coming again and again, but i couldn't find anything helpful (for ME!) yet.
I have the HTC HD2 and got really tired of Windows Phone 6.5, so i changed it to Android. (Took me weeks to figure that out until it worked)
My current ROM:
Android 2.2 HTC Desire
Kernel 2.6.32.15 by cotulla
I use Magdlr and boot from NAND.
Superuser Elite is installed (bought it), but i cant update it - no matter what i do, it wont let me be root. I even tried the terminal, but when i type in "su" it directly says "permission denied". The problem is, my phone memory is low and i cant install apps directly on the sd-card (never found a guide how to get this automatically done).
What can i do??
i am rly desperate... the sad thing is, my boyfriend (yes, i am a girl) isnt much into smartphone stuff though he's got the new htc sensation - and also not into unix / linux systems - it seems all the guys i know besides only use an iPhone and google won't be my friend...
PLS PLS PLS HELP ME!
oh and sry for the bad language, grammar etc - i'm german ;-)
that is an old, out of date rom. It was the first proof of concept release when cotulla created magldr, so i would advise you to move to a different more recent rom. (We now have roms running android 2.3, 3 and even some early android 4 roms.)
There are very very few roms that flash in quite the same way, now, so you would need to learn about flashing CWM(clockwork, clockworkmod, clockwork recovery, it has several names)
Go get the 'android toolkit' from the android nand section, and then go read some of the guides from HERE

does it have app2sd built in the rom?
does the rom need sd-ext?
are you using tmobile or eu hd2?
MORE U EXPLAIN,MORE HELP U GET LOL
for a start,download link2sd from the market its free and easy to use,open the app,choose ext2,if a error msg appears,IGNORE IT for now and click on any app thats moveable u want to move to see if that works 1st
Old, outdated ROM with no root access. Use a newer one.
Yep its an old ROM. Don't worry though, you'll be able to redownload superuser on a new ROM. Just do what Sam says and it'll work fine. Surprised you even knew that you could flash android on to the hd2, because "you're a girl".
= What are you even doing asking whether or not you should root your phone on XDA?! =
ok guys thank you for the detailed informations!
i didnt know the rom is outdated - i guess installing a new one is the best idea in that case. i thought of that before, but it took me so long to get this one working so i wasn't in the mood for re-installing yet.
THANK YOU all, i will let you know if it worked - in case i cant fix this, would someone be able to help me via teamviewer?

I'm pretty sire you won't need to give remote access, you'll be able to do it. All you'll need is the latest magldr 1. 13 (if I'm not mistaking)
Once you've got that, you just need to flash the clockwork mod daf file from usb flasher on magldr, then when you flash into clockwork its easy, just flash a zip file.
You can backup ROM's etc. from clockwork so its really convenient.
= What are you even doing asking whether or not you should root your phone on XDA?! =
I totally crashed it!!
Hi Guys - it has happened
i totally crashed my hd2.
what i did:
i read the guides and got the newest android nand toolkit. so, i performed task29 and installed hspl, then clk. the problem now is: i cant do anything else! when i boot, i get this white clk screen where i can choose recovery normal or sboot. i cant repartition, my phone has no connection when i switch into the mode "with the 3 colours"... so - i can copy to sd card what i want, i can perform every task with the toolkit, even the backup rom for the original windows phone doesnt help because it says: "pls check that you're phone is connected via usb". my pc has the android usb drivers, it shows the device, all ok. i cant go into usb flasher because it seems, no magldr is installed - i tried and tried so many things and now i cant even perform a wipe.
seems i need to give you remote access anyway....
PLEASE! help me!
if you need screenshots i will upload them, just let me know.
Start from the beggining by reflasing with the 3 colours on the screen, im no expert and I use magloader not clk, so try doing a fresh one with magloader and see how it goes

Plug the phone into the PC. Hold the back arrow key after turning the phone on to boot to fastboot . Then either try flashing Cwm via the NAND toolkit or do it manually through fastboot.
P. S. Did you install a radio?
