Start by telling us what version of MyTouch you are using.
Original or 1.2/Fender
Is it a 32A or a 32B board?

The Fender/1.2 has the 3.5mm headphone jack on the top.
Before you boot up the device hold the volume down button and press the power button. Keep holding the volume down button while it boots to a screen that will display information. Post that information here to get help.
Wouldn't it be the back and power button at the same time, volume down is when your flashing?

So you just admitting to know NOTHING about this phone. A phone that has had a higher brick rate then any other HTC Android device. And you're attempting to do this for a friend? You'd be better off letting your friend do it in case it bricks so it won't be your fault. Either way try these guides
The Unlockr Rooting Fender/1.2
XDA's Guide for unlocking MyTouch 1.2
As for a rom i personally use Dr. Cloverdales Magic Elixir but that's a personal preference.
I still think it's dumb of you to attempt to root without knowledge of the phone. You don't sound to bright but perhaps you'll get lucky and not **** everything up?

Power+Back is fastboot
Power+Volume Down is Hboot
kinda different but still the bootloader.
@OP:
I do not advise rooting or applying ROM's to devices that aren't yours. It is your friend's (and your) responsibility to search and read before undertaking any rooting/flashing of ROM's as you can potentially void the warranty of the device should things go wrong.

Help...
Well I basically don't know where I am right now
Ive been researching how to mod a My-touch 3G for a long time and im a first time rooter
I'm Trying to get Cyanogen Mod 5.07 Hopefully but... I followed the directions at the Unlockr website not knowing it had different recovery than the ones needed for a CyangenMod
I got mixed up with multiple guides about rooting my phone in the first place and there are SO MANY different things to install...
Well I got my MT3G BACK to CupCake Android 1.5... i did the unroot process
But the wierd thing is that I cant seem to ROOT IT? FUNNY?
I dont know whats wrong but I followed the step and video at unlockr website and it just doesnt seem to work
and tried the androidandme site and their guide doesnt work for me too
Ive formatted my sd and did a factory reset too
I really want Cyangen 5.07 but it seems too complicated for me and I dont want to end up like before?
Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
radio 2.22.23.02

Did you look in Cyanogen's website under wiki? The directions are clear and all the files you need are there. I would post link but this is account is considered new still so it isn't letting me yet.

Thanks for your reply but the thing is that I see websutes that clearly show you don't need a goldcard to root and that's what I want. Fir some reasons my phone just won't root. ..

Just understand one thing: Goldcard avoids check of CustomerID.
ROM has CIDs, your phone has CID. If phone-CID is in ROM CIDs list - you can flash without goldcard. This means official ROM for your phone. If you have T-Mobile MyTouch 3G (old version) - you can use only COC10 ROM or update to Android 1.6 (i forgot full name), i repeat - without goldcard.
If you have MT3G v1.2 - you must use goldcard, as unroot-method is using some special ROMs with other CIDs (non T-Mobile). Or use official ROMs without gc.
Hi to all, I am a noob here so I hope to don't do any mistake with this thread.
After that I apologize for my broken English and I try to explain at my best.
I have the chance to buy an US T-Mobile G2 with a "little" problem: the owner said that the phone turn on but it stops at the white boot screen.
The HTC USA reply to him the only way to solve the problem is wait for a full HTC rom advanced than OTA or send the phone to the USA assistance.
What do you think? There are some opportunity to unbrick the phone, without send it to HTC USA or wait for the new full rom?
Thanks to all and sorry again for my English.

It all depends, does he have S-off, to check pull the battery, then put it back in, hold the volume down while power on, the fist line will say "VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF" if it says this there's a good chance, I have a cooked version of the PC10IMG that has an ENG Hboot plus ROOT that member hot_hands built to help someone else in the same situation, so if it is S-OFF let me know and Ill post the Cooked PC10IMG for you.
Remember do not try to flash the Stock PC10IMG because what will happen it will flash the stock hboot S-on and radio first then reboot to flash the stock rom img., when it does this S will be on and it won't let you flash an older main version and it will be permanetly stuck at the HTC screen.
So again what I am suggesting will only work if you have S-Off.

Thank you Joemm!

Any other suggests are welcome.

If you can access the bootloader and it's s-off then all you need to do is flash a rom through fastboot. It's pretty easy though I can't remember the exact commands

Hello there, can I have this Cooked PC10IMG as well please?

Hello everyone
I just bought a used HTC Dream G1, before that i had a Blackberry 8310 and before that an HTC TyTN.
The G1 i just got is kinda slow...It's using the cyanogen mod and i wish to install a newer and hopefully faster operating system on it.
I really need help, like step by step help and i am willing to provide any info you might require in helping me.
Thanks ahead, much appreciated
EDIT:
just some info on the phone/operating systen
Android version: 2.2.1
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-cyanogenmod
mod version: cyanogenmod-6.1.0-RC1-DS
build number FRG83
ok sounds good, first thing you need to do is power off your device, than reboot holding the camera+power buttons untill you the 'Bootloader' screen...
On there you will find the provided information we will need to know what the next step is for you
If i dont reply back fast enough and you feel crazy enough to try this on your own, a good place to start is in the guide provided in my signature! Helps you root, un-root and many other things... also may give you a little better understanding of how things work for the device..
anyway, depending on your radio and spl is how we know what you need to do next so get that information for us and im sure we can all help you.

that's all that the screen had to show, there was also an "hboot" button and a <back> FastBoot Mode button.
tried reading about it all a bit, but it seems far too confusing...doesnt seem even remotely similar to how my old hermes used to get flashed...
lol ok, well if thats your phone stats and you say you have cyan running that means you have the minimum rooting done, so your next step is to find out what you would like to do? there are many older roms you can flash that are compatible with your radio/spl.... but they are old...
or you can take the next step and upgrade your radio and spl to flash the latest roms... which kick ass for todays standards of the G1...
basically what you want to do is pick up on step 1 of that guide to flash the 'Danger spl', than continue on with the radio's and hboot files untill your device is at 2.22.28.25 and 1.33.0013d
if you need any help on the proccess let me know, before you cause any harm (bricking) your device... first things first!!! is your g1 a US or UK model?
hmmm...i'm not sure actually, it has a T-Mobile logo on it...
any way for me to check?
uhhhhmmmm im not sure exactly... google? lol i have the US model and it also says tmobile across it... but i dont want to assume you have us, so just check that and let me know... i can help you if its a us model lol
I think i figured out a way to figure it out (that sounded weird)...
Does your phone have a QWERTY keyboard or a QWERTZ keyboard?
Did a little poking around, and since my G1 has a QWERTZ keyboard, i guess it comes from germany and when i did a hard reset to day it reverted to german language, so i'm pretty sure it's german
ooo yup ok thats def not us model lol uhhhmmmm i know with rooting and stuff there are some files on my guide that shouldn't be flashed on your phone... im sure there's many guides out there to help you though... you still want the same goal, which is radio 2825 and spl 0013d, so than you can flash good roms
Thanks for the help
I'll give it a go tomorrow seeing as how it's 4AM right now
k, if you need help let me know
Hello there,
just wanna ask if you have upgraded already your radio and spl? i have the same info on my G1 as yours, im afraid to brick my phone, since i once brick another G1 already
Nah, i haven't done it yet, i'm too scared of bricking the thing. But i'll be sure to post in this topic if i do get the courage to do it.
Damn...i still don't know which rom/other things i'm suppose to use...anyone wanna help?
@jhenards: well, it turns out that i didn't need to update my radio or SPL. I just needed to flash a new ROM on it.
I'll link you to the tutorial i used.
Before you do anything else, make a backup in Titanium Backup so you can just restore your apps later.
Also make one in Nandroid (here's a tutorial for that http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Using_the_Recovery#NANDroid_backups)
Download Cyanogenmod 6.1.0DS ==> http://goo-inside.me/cm/dream_sapphire/stable/update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip
Download Google Apps (tiny) ==> http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed.zip
Then flash those using this tutorial ==> http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Dream:_Installing_CyanogenMod_5+#Installing_CyanogenMod_ROM
And after everything is done restore your backups using Titanium Backup and use this tutorial to make your phone very very fast:
http://nctritech.wordpress.com/2010...rmance-no-swap-compcache-or-10mb-hack-needed/
That's how i did it
if you dont upgrade your radio/spl then you should consider either super d or super e, they dont get much better than these with the older combo
also try super csdi and even though lots of people disagree, there are some nice sense roms out there that run pretty fast and stable on the older radio/spl
but if your ready to update there is a ton of awesome roms out there that will bring the g-1 back to life!
good luck!
You should definitely upgrade your radio and spl.it gives you more ram to work with,how can you go wrong with that when all you want is a faster phone. But do take your time with the learning curve

I agree. I bricked mine getting in a hurry with excitment!;p I was able to fix with a new mother board. Now I sport a rooted g1with hboot 1.33.0013d radio 2.22.0013d and a rooted mt4g.

Unfortunately my G1 died...and no, i did not brick it, the phone was running amazingly fast...until some idiot raced through a puddle (read lake) next to me and got both the phone and me soaking wet...so now the phone can't read the microsd (which works perfectly when i plug it into my computer) and it's stuck looping the CM logo...which means it can't boot.

Hi, I managed to get root rights on my TESCO wildfire, but can't progress because I can't S-OFF most probably becuase my HBoot is 0.80.0008.
Can anyone pls give idiots guide to get me to S-OFF from my present HBOOT?
I've scoured this forum and cannot one bit of useful advice regarding how to get S-OFF with a HBOOT @ 0.80.0008.
Somebody help PLEASE :-(
help.
you need to run a ruu to update your hboot the use revolutionary to s-0ff.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1384504
thanks for the reply, but its not idiotproof enough for me :-(
the linked post doesn't tell me anything. If I need to run an 'RUU'....then can you please post a link to an appropriate RUU ?
try http://shipped-roms.com/
just update with a current rom. the executable lets you easily "update" your firmware. please make sure you save all your data before updating your firmware. after that you should be on 1.00.0001
ok heres the plan man. follow this guide, it should have all the links and info youll need.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035&highlight=how+to+s-off+hboot+1.01.002
now, this says that some people are having trouble DOWNGRADING there h-boot but this shouldnt be an issue since your upgrading. use thee link in the post above and download the ruu HTC Froyo WWE and flash it. then ignore the first step in the tutorial as you should now have hboot 1.01.0001 and start at revolutionary.
just follow the rest rest of the guide and you *should* be able to get it done. (i dont know as ive never done it)
good luck
ok thanks, I found out what the problem was. I have a TESCO model and there were two roms. 1.28.1107.1 & .2. I had the .1 on my phone and it wouldn't update. As soon as I put the .2 rom on, it allowed an auto update which set my HBoot to 1.01.0002
next problem..........I can't run the step1 on the BUZZ downgrade package. I run it as an admin but its as if the abp code isn't working ( I'm on win7 if that helps ).
I have got past this point before when I updated my daughters wildfire, but the PC I had at the time was on XP.
And also the goldcard gen site is dead :-( http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard
bizarrely .. http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard seemed to open.
and the rest is history,
I'm running revolutionary as I'm typeing this post....
so how did you get on my friend?
