WRONG!
Did you install the Superuser app that comes with androot?
If not install it separately and it should fix your problems!
Or install it from androot by changing the options before clicking the root button.

Yes, you can now download the Rom manager from the Market, and the rest of the procedures are pretty much automated after that. Its quite simple.
I am running CyanogenMod-5.0.8 on a rooted myTouch 3G fender edition. I used the same method as yours to root it.
For more details, go to Nexus one forum, and look for a thread "One Click Root" or something like that. I believe you'll find the detailed instructions on page 22.
Good luck!
I have install rom manager but it says can install on my phone though :' (

Can or can't install on your phone? I am little confused. Anyways I suggest you download Titanium backup from the Android market as well, before you flash ROM. Once you finish back up, you can then start with the ROM Manager.
If either of those doesn't install on your phone, then it is not rooted!
Indeed. Or... download Titanium backup then tell us if you have Busybox installed. Once that's installed, connect it to your computer and type "su" with command prompt and adb installed and if your $ turns to a # then you definitely have root. You can also use terminal emulator from Market. If and when you get the # your next step is a recovery file. After you have a custom recovery your next step is to flash a custom rom.
Thanks all...i will try it...i can install shootme,setcpu and cachemate but i cant install rom manager,its says cannot install on my phone...

there are two tools to s-off once you root, one for radio s-off and one for eng s-off, run the radio one, then the eng one, you will find them in the android development section. you need to s-off before you can flash clockwork mod on the DHD, you can flash that from rom manager
Cool so i need to do that bit more to it on dhd unrevoked rooted and put clockwrk on lol thanks do the roms available make it worth rooting

Also look into zroot 1.3.0
super one click is the only root that works on all versions of 2.2. theres no "soft root" (dunno why you would want it anyway) in super one click.

[Q] Can't root my MyTouch 3g (3.5 mm jack)

Hi there fellas,
I really tried my hardest to follow the posted guides, and i feel like i followed them to a tee, but i'm still getting the "Model ID incorrect!" message in fastboot
Here's my phone:
PVT - 32A
HBOOT - 1.33.0013
CPLD - 13
RADIO - 2.22.28.25
It's running Android 2.2.1
I basically followed Unlockr/DonJuan's guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734617
I redid the whole goldcard making process at least 5 times with same results.
Is there something i'm missing?
This is the SD card i'm using:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211270
I'll see if i can get my hands on a different one tomorrow, but besides that is there any other advice you can give me?
Thanks in advance guys
I already tried "Universal Androot", "z4root", and "superoneclick". It's a Perfect SLP so i think that's what's causing all the trouble
Use superoneclick root. Simple and quick

I also already tried "Universal Androot" and "z4root" and both have failed
I tried the superoneclick too, and that failed as well. It's a Perfect SLP so i think that's what causing all this trouble
The spl shouldn't matter. On your phone your only choice is the spl you have. Superoneclick worked for me on that kind of phone.. Do you have the sdk installed?

If you have the drivers from the sdk installed then superoneclick should work...

He's on the 2.2.1 update, which means SuperOneClick is probably failing, saying "No space left on device." You can easily manually use the exploit from SuperOneClick to root. If that's not the error your getting, let me know what the error you ARE getting is and we'll work it out.
I'm not sure where exactly it displays the error message, because i don't see one.
It says "All root files have been installed! Would you like to run a test", and once i do that all it says is Test failed! FAILED
I did install the SDK back when i had my G1 so maybe that's messing it up. But i think it should still be in order because i was able to install apps using adb onto my MyTouch
Any luck yet? Did you try restarting the phone after rooting it?

Try Universal Androot. You can find out on the forums here somewhere. Way easier.

root a t-mobile g1 with android 1.6

how do i need to root a t-mobile g1 with android 1.6 DRC83
Easiest way should be using a tool like Universal Androot, otherwise you need to go the long way, i.e. using the Goldcard method.
