If it's not rooted, is it partly rooted or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's not the SPL that has root, it's the rom you are using ... so we can't tell from the fastboot information you posted. Most rooted roms have the superuser app installed .. do you have that?
If not you could try searching for 'root' in the market, and download an app that requires root (like PicMe). If it works, then you have root!

I wasn't as lucky as i were hoping for, unfortunatly it has not been rooted.
Do i have a "Perfect SPL"? If so, should i just drop trying to get the MyHERO ROM installed?

i have a perfect spl and installed myhero on my mytouch no problems.

What resources did you use?
I'd be really happy if you could provide some links or something

To root that having that SPL, you will have to use goldcard method...

what? i rooted useing cyanogen's tutorial with flashrec, and I just flashed the myhero rom after wiping in recovery... same as normal..
my SPL is the .0006 perfect one
oh and also my magic is 32B mytouch

Is the only way to get a HERO ROM on this phone using a goldcard? Or is it possible to flash a new SPL and use a custom rom without a goldcard?

There's no need to use a Goldcard, even with a perfect SPL, if you just want to flash a new ROM and gain root. If you want to use fastboot at all, then yes, you must flash a new "imperfect" SPL.
Follow Cyanogen's guide here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod

Pixelkid, I also have a danish Magic and had the same SPL a few weeks back. I used the goldcard trick from this guide. Why don't you want to use a goldcard?

bought a mytouch

I just bought a myTouch 3g.
I have a G1.
Is there anything special I need to know about rooting this phone, and what would be the fastest 2.1+ rom to use?

We'll its really going to depend on your fastboot info (what SPL/radio your using) then you can go from there. The Androot method seems to be the now easiest method and from what I've read has a high success rate. You'll need to get your fastboot information then you can start searching. The answers to your questions are out there. The biggest thing with having the 3.5mm Jack is the ROMs available for it. There aren't many so your choices are limited.

Right.
So if I got the one WITHOUT the 3.5mm jack, I have more options then? okay.
Now, on the G1 some roms require a custom SPL. Is this the same on the MT3g?

In most cases, no. The original MT3G (no headphone jack) is one of the easiest phones to root, which is kinda awesome. Download universal androot, then rom manager, flash the recovery and then install roms as usual. Way easy!

@can teh man
You NEED to post your information before you can get anyone here to help you.
All that we know at this point is that you have a MyTouch without the 3.5mm jack. But did you know that there are still different versions of your device? If someone gives you instructions (or reference to instructions) that is not meant for your device then you might end up with a broken phone. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR THIS!
Your next post in this thread better be with useful information to properly identify your device or I will delete this thread.
When your device is powered off hold down the volume button while pressing power. It should take you to a white screen. Post ALL information that you see on that white screen here in this thread and then we can help you.

I don't think he's actually got the phone yet. I think he was just trying to get a jump start on getting it rooted once he does. I could be wrong though.

I've got it rooted and I've got Rom Manager, Amon Ra [32B] installed... what do I need to know about radio and SPL for this phone?

I have same phone as u. U have new radio. I flashed 2005 eng spl to mine to get s-off. Fastboot purposes. Use amonra 1.7.0. Just make sure whatever u flash is for 32b. Most Roms for it will be in g1 section. Check the sticky section. Will have spl if u want Eng spl and list of roms. Try them out.

I have AMON RA 1.7.
Is the SPL the reason why I can't use fastboot?

Yeah the S-ON means your SPL has security on which keeps you from running any remote fastboot commands from your computer. If you've already got AmonRa loaded on your phone your good to go and wont need to mess with your SPL/radio. Just start flashing ROMs.

I want to use Fastboot to flash a custom bootscreen and splash screen. Is there any way else to do this?

Right on man, I couldn't find the right SPL for my phone. Thanks!
Now I know people have had trouble getting the trackball flashing to work... Does anyone have a suggestion?
I'd like to keep CM6, but I'm willing to revert to a 1.5/1.6 rom if need be.

Rooting from 2.2.1 32b

So i decided to root my gf's phone and i have been rooting my phones since the g1 but never got to hers....it looks like i waited to long lol...so i used the gold card method and got it downgraded to 1.6 i believe but i cant for some reason fast boot it from my mac can anyone help with the command translation to mac...

Sir.. I believe the gold card method is a bit out of date.there is one step rooting. Don't you have to downgrade to android 1.5 for gold card to ???¿?

How do I go from a rooted MyTouch 1.2 to stock to get an ota update

Just like the title states, I would like to get a 32a mt3g MyTouch 1.2 device back to stock to receive an ota. I tried searching, but I can't find anything. The phone has a cyanogen rom on it.

MOD EDITED WITH RED TEXT

Welcome to the club. While I found several threads here and a website or two, none of them are clear enough for me to understand and consequently try the steps described.

You sure it's a 32A?

ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS???
This is really upsetting me. You are actually 100% WRONG!!! You do NOT have a 32A device!!!
Does it say 32A? Obviously. But it is NOT a pure 32A device!
Tell me. What (besides the text on your device) makes your phone a 32A?
Does it take a 32A radio? No.
Does it take a 32A kernel? No.
Is it EB1 compatible? No.
Does it take a 32A rom? No.
So... if your device doesn't take a 32A radio, kernel or rom... then why is it a 32A? IT'S NOT!
Don't believe me that it's not a 32A? Try flashing a 32A radio and 32A spl and have fun with your bricked device. Maybe try flashing a rom and I'll wait for your post asking "Why won't my phone work?"
The only thing that makes your phone anything close to a 32A is the memory. That's it. Nothing else.
What you have is a MyTouch 1.2 (aka Fender, LE)
It's a 32B with 32A memory thus making it a hybrid of the two. How much does ram have to do with unrooting and getting the ota update? It doesn't. So I suggest you do a search for "How to unroot" to get the answer for your 32B device.
Look, bottom line. There is NO MyTouch 32A phones sold by T-Mobile in the United States. That is why you were asked

because anyone that has an American flag or American location on their profile either means that they actually have a 32B device or they had to order it from another country.
By the way, just a warning. If you get the OTA, the Androot method may not work anymore so you would have to use another method other than Androot (or similiar app) to root again (such as goldcard method). Might I suggest a 32B Rooted OTA rom? Try the G1/Dream section.

To add to that even more. What update? As far as I know the update released by T-Mobile was only for the older 32B model of the myTouch 3G, not the Fender/1.2.

How to unroot? back to stock

hi all,
i would like to unroot my desire Z completely to stock rom.
And i would not want those silly questions; why would you want it ? it sucks blabla.
I just do it for my guarantee.
So i cant find an official RUU.
I thought i could take the 1.34 original PC10IMG to downgrade it to 1.34.
but im kinda scared, cause im permrooted got S-off, and a engineeringspl.
So can i just apply the original 1.34 PC10IMG or will it brick then?
I already googled but couldnt find anything.
Please help me to completely unroot.
Greetings,
Nick

What ROM are you running right now ?
When you say you have S-OFF, is that only through the eng hboot ,or have you used gfree to get full radio S-OFF ?

thought i used both lol first gfree and after that i took the old hboot process to gain s-0ff. now running vitiouw 0.9.5

If you have radio S-OFF via gfree, then you are perfectly safe to flash an older stock ROM. The dangerous scenario is if you only have S-OFF via the eng hboot (not gfree) and then flash a stock ROM.

As long as you used gfree to get full radio S-OFF (e.g. you ran gfree -s and it worked) then you are safe. If you're unsure, then see how to check if you have radio S-OFF in the Wiki at http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik..._Vision#VERIFY_.28using_.22gfree_verify.22.29
