Hi!
A friend of mine has this device and he wants to have Froyo installed, I believe he still has the factory installed version it came with the phone (I think is version 1.6 or 1.8).
I have a Samsung Captivate and upgraded very easily to Froyo using Odin and the Cognition ROM.
Can anyone point me to a thread that has an easy (beginner to intermediate) way to upgrade the MyTouch 3G to Froyo?
Thanks!
If it is an original MyTouch(without the 3.5mm jack) then the easiest way would be to wait for the OTA update from T-mobile. If your friend doesn't want to wait then check out this thread: Manually update MyTouch to stock Froyo
What about updating an unlocked MT 3G? Will updating to Froyo relock the phone?
Yes, is a original (untouched) myTouch 3G....
I read that it will come OTA, but he haven't seen anything yet on his phone.
Thanks

So I know that you can use the universal androot app to root the MT3G 32b. I did it and installed CM6. I didn't like it, so I flashed the original 1.5 image, successfully unrooting. I then received my ota 1.6 update and I'm back to normal.
However, I really miss two things from when I was rooted: the wifi tether app and being able to bring my clock up to 528 mHz (where it belongs). I am considering using androot to enable these two functions (and not flash a ROM, but stick with stock).
My question is this: when/if tmobile ever pushes that promised 2.2 update, will I be able to get it, or will I need to flash sappimg.npg again to totally unroot? I remember that when I had androot on there before, even when I clicked unroot, the superuser permissions icon stayed in the app drawer. I just want to do these two things on stock 1.6 and still be able to receive any potential future firmware OTAs by clicking "unroot" when the OTA is pushed out. Like I said, I'm not interested in flashing a ROM, just rocking stock 1.6 with an overclocked processor and wifi tethering enabled.
Anyone know if that will work okay?
Thanks!
That should work, you just might have to re-run and root after the update. Word on the streets is that the 2.2 update will never come thoughts I wouldn't hold my breath.

This is the Canadian version but Rogers is rolling out 2.1 this week

Well that kinda sucks, considering Tmo spent the time and $ to send out a communication to all us MT3G users saying we weren't going to be left behind.
So I guess I can root (with androot) and then when (if) word of a 2.1 or 2.2 update starts spreading I can click to unroot and receive it?
Thanks again.
Should still be able to use the "update" option from the settings menu. It should still work unless you flash a custom ROM that wont allow you to.

You're in the same boat I am. I tried CM5 and CM6 but both were too slow and unstable for me, so I unrooted and used Universal Androot so I could overclock. I'm actually pretty satisfied with this, but still thinking about trying a couple of other ROMs.

Did this stock 2.1 version ever become available for flashing? I'd really prefer to flash this on my friend's 32B than any of the custom ROMs. It's very unnecessary for her and she's just looking for stability.
[Also, is this even possible? I think I read somewhere that Rogers is 32A only]
I'm pretty sure the Rogers update is over in the development section for download. You can read there whether its 32A or 32B.

i mean, dont mind i would like to go back to the latest offical for magic, even 1.6!
Do a search for SAPPIMG.nbh
You also can try installing the last RUU File for the Magic, if you have a 32a!
When your installed Custom-Rom is a CursorSense Rom, like Hero or a modified OTA 2.1 from Rogers for Magic, you can do this way:
boot into fastboot, connect to USB and run the RUU.exe-File, this will get you back to Stock, and 1.5
Worked 100% for me.
For a 32b you maybee need a SAPPIMG.nbh how Phateless said, but i´m not sure.

Tom Green is right, we really need to know what hardware you're on so we can accurately advise you without worry of bricking your device.
Power the phone off. Then hold the BACK + POWER buttons until you get to a screen with three androids on skateboards.
Type in all the info from that screen. We need to know if you're a 32a or 32b.
hey guys, sorry for answering late to you. I've got the 32a version. So i'll try the method you mentioned in here. hopefully will works
Please post if this method worked or not, or if anyone knows if this method will work on a MyTouch 3g 3.5mm(1.2) USA and get me back to stock. When T Mobile releases the OTA Froyo update for my phone I want to revert back to stock so I can get it. Thanks.

Hey guys, I flashed my Mom's phone with CM 6.0 a few weeks ago and it's been nothing but trouble for her. She has insurance and is planning to get a replacement phone, and I'm worried that she might get in trouble with Tmo for having a custom ROM.
So my question is, do I need to to an SPL or is there an update zip I can flash with Clockwork Mod to go back to the stock rom?
Thanks for my noobish question, I don't own this specific device so it's a bit confusing. Much easier to take care of on my Hero.
Your mom let you flash her phone? My mom wont let me go anywhere near her Motorola Cliq.
Anyway, go to theunlockr.com, and theres a guides there in how to UNroot, then Tmobile can send you a replacement (for whatever reason)...and yes, custom ROMs void your warranty, but when you unroot, its as if you never rooted. PERFECT stock.
BUT: you have to use the correct guide, is the phone a US T-Mobile Mytouch or a European HTC Magic? Or a Mytouch with the headphone jack?
Posted with my stock T-Mobile 2.2.1 myTouch with 3.5mm jack
Try a diffrent rom first, like the latest aosp 2.2.1 OTA for mytouch, cm6 has always been trouble, memory leaks up the wazoo. Anywho, in my opinion aosp froyo 2.2 one of the best roms I have ever had on my mytouch 3g fast as hell
You just need to hboot the sappimg.nbh

I recently went from Cyanogen Mod 5.0.8 to Cupcake(1.5), and finally un-rooted(I think) to Donut(1.6), all in motivation for Froyo(2.2) for my myTouch 3G. Will I be able to get the update if I already went through a rooting process? Some of the current information:
Build Number: DMD64 (Was COC10 in ROOT)
Model Number: T-mobile myTouch 3G
Firmware Version: 1.6

Yea If Yu Were Rooted Then Unrooted Yu Can Still Get OTA Updates. But if yu unrooted to 1.5 yu have to find a way to upgrade to 1.6 cause 1.6fw doesnt exist anymoe on googles server. once yur on 1.6 yu will ready for 2.2
Thanks. And just in case for some reason that I don't get the update by Halloween(10/31), is/will there be a way to manually update it?

T-Mobile stated that after the initial push you could call customer support to request them to manually push the update. I think the deadline was originally the 26th but it may have changed.

I found a thread on the T-Mobile forums on how to manually update to Froyo. I suggest doing this ONLY if you don't automatically receive the update.

Ok, Here is the link, T-mobile is advertising 2.2 Froyo on the Mytouch Slide....
http://mytouch.t-mobile.com/mytouch-3g-slide-features#/apps
WTF... They must be close to releasing it or they wouldn't advertise it on their website as running 2.2 Or is this just another trick from T-mobile to sell more Mytouch Slides
A doubt
i have a mytouch slide unlocked, and currently running froyo 2.2.1 by CM. i cant get an OTA update, but i really like the espresso ui along with the genius and other things. how can i get the t-mobile 2.2, if they release it and will it work on my phone.?

You would have to revert back to stock in order to get the OTA if/when it comes out. There really is no need though. You will find the latest updates here, probably before you would get them on your phone. CR is the best at getting us out the latest stuff and keeping everything updated.

I have reverted to stock, If I get the update (Whenever that is) I will post the update.zip file. But we are waiting for t-mobile to push the update still. It's gotta be soon as they have updated the website to say that the mytouch slide runs on "The Powerful Android 2.2 Froyo system" LOL.

Why in the world would you return to the restrictions of being on stock?
A rooted ver of the OTA is always made here in xda so theres no point in bother with stock, root gives you complete control over your phone and allows you to make it yours.
Just what I stated as above TO GET THE OEM OTA AND POST IT HERE. I'm well aware of rooting and S-Off I had both before going back to stock, re-rooting and S-offing again isn't that big of a deal. I did a nadroid backup before I went back to stock so I can have my phone back in short order.

um...You probably should have waited till they actually start sending out the OTA. Second, It doesnt come in a update.zip file so unless you know how to extract the complete file from your phone after it has been updated and then turn it into a update.zip you are going to be S.O.L.
It doesn't matter !
