First of all if you follow all the instructions you shouldn't have any difficulty.
Secondly, you posted in the wrong section. I'll move to General but next time I'll close your thread.
Third, I took the honors of removing post #2 and used the EDIT button to modify your original post. You should also consider editing your original post before posting one to correct it for future reference.

my fault thanks for answering my question. The reason I couldn't edit my post is cause I'm doing this off my phone.

Really? Hmm. I can edit mine through my phone just fine.

NEWB.........

Lol some mods just cant drop it. And for your info i followed the instructions to a t and still no root. I was simply asking for help not to get griped at. If you read my post completely you would have noticed i clearly said I had tried numerous times. And opera mini in mobile mode didn't let me edit my post.

Bump any idea on what I'm doing wrong?

Try the FlashRec method?
Try the Goldcard method?
Could be the wrong SappIMG file?
Who knows. You have a perfected spl so it's hard to say.
What works fine for some MyTouch phones may not work for others.
Since we don't know what instructions you have used and what methods you have used it's impossible for us to tell you what you're doing wrong.
It's not that we don't want to help, because we do, it's just very difficult to do so when we know nothing about what you have done so far to do it yourself.
So far the only thing that you said was you followed 'THE' instructions (which ones... we don't know) and failed with a MyTouch device with these specifications:

That's all you've given us. Don't get upset at me (the "Power Trip Moderator") or the rest of the community because we haven't given you an answer to your question.
The more you break rules 2 and 3 the less likely you will receive the assistance that you are so desperate to receive.

I found a member with the exact same device as yours.

His username is psycodrumfreak and he has successfully rooted his device (at least at one point since he decided to Un-Root) so it seems to be possible.
I had sent him a private message to assist you.
Please show more patience with him than you did in this thread and treat him with the utmost respect whether he can/does help you or not.
Spent a whole five minutes searching.

Lets see what happens thanks

any one have solution for this? thank you very much in advance
Same here
Exactly the save versions as yours.
I got one from Vodacom in South Africa yesterday, and none of the rooting guides seem to work. I'm really only interested in "tethering" with my phone, as I'm often on the road with my laptop and haven't had a need to buy a second modem just yet. Was hoping I could use the Magic in the same way I used my Nokia.
Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried PDANet yet?
I had same problem , how i solve is to download the recovery.img and the update.zip from the following , you cannot use standard version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523913
you must ensure that you use update.zip from here else after the update you won't be able to start up.
first do download both
daldroid-htcmagic1-signed.zip and daldroid-recovery.img
and copy both to the sdcard follow same step
rename daldroid-htcmagic1-signed.zip to update.zip
restart in fast boot mode , and run command.
fastboot boot daldroid-recovery.img
hope this help.
Your HTC Magic is different than the HTC Magic from Vodafone.
HTC Magic from Rogers US, TIM Italy, 3 Scandinavia, Vodacom South Africa and more are the original HTC Magics from HTC - they have different SPL, Kernel.
So you can only root through the metod as stated above - Daldroid made it possible.
For the time beeing you can´t flash other roms than Daldroid´s with root, without trouble.
Incidentally, it seems that the Rogers Magic is quite a bit similar to this one...
The Rogers HTC Magic reports the following on the fastboot screen:

You can follow the progress on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517948&page=22.
A rogers user reported success flashing his ROM.
go to the latest (as of current time) posts on the thread.
One user reported he successfully flashed a rom, but he had to change the SPL. As Rogers stock SPL and radio are newer than the flashed one, furthermore no spl image is available to restore the original, I suggest to follow the thread and verify the progress with a second user I asked to make some test.
I don't have Rogers myself, cannot test it for you.
Can anybody help ive followed all the magic rooting tutorials but when i enter fastboot boot recovery-new.img into terminal i get the following message "cannot load boot-new.img" i have all the drivers installed and have followed the wiki exact plus ive read every page of the rooting thread in the development page and searched the rest of this forum i have a uk vodaphone magic, cheers inadvanced

Alright, so here's what I've done so far.
-Grabbed Daldroid's "daldroid-recovery.img" and the signed rom, which was renamed to "update.zip".
-Copied both onto my SD card.
-Fastbooted my Rogers Magic using "fastboot boot daldroid-recovery.img"
-Performed a Nandroid backup
-Wiped the data
-Applied the "update.zip"
-Rebooted
I got the Rogers screen, then the HTC Magic screen, then the HTC chiming screen where it made me wait for a bit. Buttons flashed and voila, I am booted into a different rom (no Rogers crap).
I confirmed that after flashing, my device info still says HBOOT-1.33.0009. At no point did I attempt to flash Haykuro's SPL or change the radio, as it's still 3.22.20.17.
I think I'm doing things right, so hopefully this info helps
Edit: Tried flashing QTeknology's Optimized Hero Rom, and it hung on the Rogers screen for a long time (waited at least 5 min), but was able to revert to the Daldroid rom.
Edit2: It's the same situation for other roms, like nk02's ported Rogers rom. It looks like .0009 is a no-go.

Google Activation

Hi,
I've been trying to get past the Google Activation screen on a MyTouch that has no service but have been unsuccessful. I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=588017 method but it didn't work though I didn't think it would since it shows it being done in two different patterns.
Anyone know how I can access this phone? Can I root this phone even though I've been unable to access it? If so, what method do I use.
Sorry to start a new thread for this but I posted in two other threads without luck.
Thanks.
Most of custom roms give you option to skip activation , When it comes to method , check out cyanogenmod wiki

Which version is it?
What kind of HBOOT is that, never seen that in my life. Do you mean 1.33.0006?
What do you mean which version is it? Which version of what, it's a 32B, that's all I can tell you from looking at that

upgrade from an unknown software version..[mytouch3g tmobile]

Hi all, I am helping my friend upgrade her mytouch 3g to froyo after reading the guide listed on this page. However, I am extremely confused by what version of android she has in her phone.
The baseband is listed is 62.50sc.20.17u-2.22.23.02
kernel is at 2.6.29-g023e5c9
build number at 2.10.531.4.
Is this DR92 supposed to be? I searched all over the internet and can't figure out what these information match to. I think it should be before DMD64 but when i tried applying the DR92 to DMD64 update. It says siganiture failure too. So this means it's even before DR92. But it is 1.6 firmware as reported in the system..
Can anyone help? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
Turn the phone off, and then turn on by holding Volume down key and power and then write here what are phone specs

Thanks for the help! Though I am surprised to see it's 32A. shouldn't all tmobile products be 32B?
not necessarily if its the black mytouch then its a 32A idk y lol i have white one n its a 32B (this is just my opinion )
Well they imported google branded htc magics both 32a and 32b, so i dont know if you can do OTA update,but you can root phone and install rooted OTA with cm ported kernel for 32a
Is rooting the only way available? Since it's not my phone, I don't really want messing it up.. thanks.

As i said idk, I think it is because Tmobile only did update 32b magic and dream. You can mess up the phone cuz you just cant if you do all things right.
go to www.theunlockr.com adn find in how to's section phone and you have 1 click root.then install recovery and after that install ROM. If you do have probs PM me.

[SOLVED] [Q] Rooting MyTouch 3G 3.5mm w/ OTA 2.2.1?

MODS PLEASE REMOVE...THANK YOU
Hello,
I have read many of the guides here on XDA, but I am still confused.
Which method, preferably the easiest, can I use to root my T-Mobile MyTouch 3G 3.5mm jack version, which has been updated to 2.2.1 officially? Thanks for your help. Here is the information from the phone:

So, which did you use?
I was able to temp root before with z4root, but that doesn't work anymore...so, looking now for easy perm root but I haven't found a guide that is for our phone...can anyone help guide me? Thanks!
make a gold card, follow the guides. It's not hard really. Just remember that it can take 15-20 minutes to boot. So dont consider the phone locked and try to pull the battery or anything unless you've waited 30 minutes.

did you performe some search inside this forum??,First search for the problem you have, and if you did not find any results, ask for help, not here in the dev section.
Yes, I have been searching for 2 days, if only I could find a way to install rom manager via market.

Did you downgrade android version in the process of rooting? Can you tell us more info about the actual firmware of your device?
