One click root - DOES work on myTouch 3G

There was a locked thread in development where someone asked if it would work. A lot of people replied (obviously without even knowing what they are talking about) that it wouldn't work.
it DOES work on the myTouch 3G's - I just did it on one.
It works on any android phone - but the current apk implementation flashes the 1.4 cyanogen recovery image so it only works on phones that image will boot (i.e. the HTC Dream, or the Sapphire... etc)
It's way easier to apply that than it is to apply the nbh downgrade... etc.

Cool
I posted the question in a wrong area im glad someone with a mytouch tried it i bricked my first mytouch

Worked
This worked for me also I am now on CyanogenMod v3.9.11.2 and it works very well.
TY Cyanogen!

Works...but hesitant
This definitely works on the MT3G just tried it...whew glad it worked Still extremely hesitant on flashing new rom though. Dont know why even though I have a rooted G1. Perhaps I just love this phone too much to f*#$ it up

Now that I think about it...If you just use this to get the recov img the MT3G still has the "perfected" spl. So exactly will this allow you to flash any new ROMs? That is why the "goldcard" was used to trick it and flash to an earlier "non-perfected" spl which would then allow you to flash ROMs updated radio etc etc etc. Shed any light on this?

I know there can be risks when doing any kind of modding/hacking. What is the main risk with rooting the MT3G? Is it mainly an issue with the battery falling out or running out of juice? Or is the rooting process invasive enough (i know it is root = can touch everything) or unstable enough that there is a relatively high probability of an issue running the canned procedure?
I have my phone, love it, my wife would kill me if I wrecked it. I just want to know how likely I am to end up with a brick using this method.
Also a question to understand this procedure, if I run the apk and reboot normally then there is no lasting root, correct? I have to go into the recovery mode and flash over a new rooted rom for root to become permanent? Does this actually change the SPL on the MT3G, does it preserve the ability to flash other roms at any time in the future? I want to know if this is a one time open up your phone for rooting or if after I do this will I always have root.
Sorry for all the questions, but I have been lurking around and haven't found definitive answers to these questions. Thanks!
Dave

Dave, Ive used this method. However if you didnt notice in my previous post...the spl does NOT change. Which is why I questioned the ability to flash any ROMs. The more "complicated" method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133) requires a "goldcard" with an earlier version of the spl. Which I believe allows flashing to occur.

Yeah, I saw your post after I posted. I think this is great for a simple root I am thinking to have future rooting I will need the goldcard method anyway.
It would seem that this method should be able to modify the SPL since it is able to run as root, maybe not though...

I did mine last night and now doing my wifes MT3G and I was comparing cyanogen's vs stock and its night and day...no loading screen issues with cyan's build and keyboard response got better too...
LOL yeah Ii was thinking about the SPL if we can change it out? I kinda want to call my phone semi-rooted

so anyone flash a new spl/radio using this one click root? success? or no?

Just did it...1.33.2005/ also S-off. this is definitely legit and makes things a hell of a lot more easier than all those damn adb commands. Dont get me wrong at all I do appreciate all the work that was done by Haykuro and the other boys because without them Im sure this wouldnt be possible. Anywho...it works.

Okay. As newb as one can get with phone mods, etc. But it actually works. I dont know what the exact benefits of it are but I am running... Mod version CyanogenMod-3.9.11.2 per about phone. All my downloads are gone but it worked. I dont know what the difference/any limitations is for down the road, in comparison to the gold card method (I hope none), with this type of root but hey it actually worked and I would have kick my own a$$ if I bricked my phone. Thanks to folks who found this way and are their any "rooted" differences now that I am on cfw using this method for say updating to cyanogens 4.0 eventual release?

Alright, I took the plunge and it worked flawlessly!
I use the 1 click install via the market app called Recovery Flasher. I installed CyanogenMod 4.0.1 Stable. Zoom zoom zoom...
I thought I may have had an issue when I rebooted after flashing since it sat at the MyTouch 3G splash for a ton longer than normal. I had read it was normal for the first boot to take longer so I didn't freak out and pull the battery. I just let it come up and now I couldn't be happier.
If I remember reading correctly CyanogenMod has the fix for the root vulnerability used in this hack to root plugged. So, now that I have a rooted ROM and recovery 1.4 will I ever need to worry about having the dreaded "Perfect SPL?"

so easy a caveman could do it! a thousand times, thank you.

so its confirmed you can FLASH a different SPL with no problem ? cuz if so im gettin a mytouch ! lol

go for it

go to town boss...now i need to get out of the stupid hero boot loop.

Thanks. I also took a chance since I got my Touch for free by Timo mistake. Couldn't resist. Aside a few apk not able to install everything works fine. Noob question, can I now format sd card?
Oh, thanks for Quick Office.

I am a Noob...Please ignore this fact but Im really lost trying to CyangenMod my MT3G

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
So I still have the old recoveries inside of my SD
I got mixed up with multiple guides about rooting my phone in the first place and there are SO MANY different things to install...
I watched many you-tube videos and now I am stuck at the last step where the new flash ROM boots... my phone just keeps flashing the android logo....
Im really confused and I dont think I know how to backup my phone if it bricks
I got scared and did a wipe on the phone after i gave up on the android logo and pulled the battery out...
I currently have the:
32A Board its a Tmo HTC Mytouch 3g Black
HTC 1.6 OTA Dev Version of Android its called - NO CLUE- : signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip file
No clue what my Radio is and I dont think i have SPL - Where can I find this?
Dont have ArmanRa's recovery installed yet...
Not sure is my SD is partitioned
and the rest im lost...
I'm really sorry for being a bad researcher and I'm emotionally corrupted now facing the fact that I just screwed up my phone ...
If anyone can help me please...it would be the most helpful piece of assurance for me
Bless You and Thank You For Your Help In Advance...
Sincerely, Jason

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=650347 read post 9...
I have an original mytouch 3g and theunlockr.com's video helped me. Here is the link to the MT3G 2.1 rooting http://http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/ For some reason following along with a video can be more helpful than just reading. Although I do recommend reading.
But once you're rooted, load Cyanogen 4.2.15.1 and then upgrade to 5.0.7.(and flash google pack so you have Market etc...) That's just what worked for me.

Thank You So MUCH...I will be reading this!

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!

Problems with the root!

Hi, my phone now is working and all ( the is it bricked post) Thanks guys
Here is the new problem...I would like to go to 2.2.1 ( the passimg.zip is 2.2) is there a way to update without unlocking bootloader.
I tried Androot and superoneclick....Androot gives me the Fugu message and SuperOneClick says its Rooted...but when I go to rom manager or other apps that need superuser...
I get this message : An error occured while attemting to run privileged commands!
So basically Root isn't working.
Also, when trying to install Cyan cm6...Rom manager reboots...but I get the Triangle with the exclamation point with the green man next to it...
Is it still possible to have my cake and eat it? ( locked phone, with root access so I can install modded roms)
Again...can someone help me with this
Thanks!

You didn't have to make a duplicate post. I already answered one of your questions in the other thread.

Dont make another post next time...
I rooted FRG83D with superoneclick root, But if its not working for ya you will have to unlock the bootloader via fastboot. Then push a custom recovery. With the recovery you can install the su binaries.

Ok i'll only answer here now for this question:
I don't want to loose my warranty. Hence the softroot way.
I thought of something dunno if its possible:
is there a stock FRG83 image like the FRG33 I just installed....maybe 2.2.1 will be compatible with androot or superoneclick
Thanks

You need to do a few things before you go any further. There are key steps you are leaving out that are just a recipe for disaster. I'll detail them below, in the specific order you should follow them. There shall be no deviation from this list.
1 - Put your phone down. Seriously, stop messing with it. Just quit.
2 - Read the Wiki that you've been linked to, in both threads, several times.
2a - Now that you've read the Wiki, really read the Wiki. Yeah, you skimmed it the first time, I know you did.
2b - Now go read it again. I'm sure you'll notice something new this time.
2c - Now go read the links in the Wiki. Explore those threads.
2d - Those threads that the Wiki links to? They have links in them. Go read those.
3 - Rinse and repeat all steps from 2a to 2d for, oh, about 4 days. During this time you are allowed:
To post general chit chat on the forum. No technical stuff, no help threads, no questions. Just read. If you have questions, you need to read some more.
No more than 3 app installs per day, from the market. Thou shalt not download and install any APKs from any source that is not the Android Market.
To tweak settings on your phone, provided those settings are all done via the touchscreen on your phone. You shall forget the acronym "ADB".
Once you've done that, you'll root your phone in no time, and you won't be worried that you've bricked it. Then, and only then, can you start asking questions.
Why? Because all of your questions right now are answered. You're jumping the gun, and it's obvious you haven't done much research at all. Seriously, go read.
I hate to be mean, but if you want to understand stuff, you need to try and understand it on your own first. You're here looking for solutions (that are already spelled out) to problems that you created (because you didn't read anything). Quit looking for the easy way out. If you want to enjoy your phone and the features of what you're trying to accomplish...put some work in yourself, and stop expecting everyone else to fix everything and spell it out. People here are more than happy to help, but you gotta start helping yourself.

@Soberguy: Thumbs up to you. Couldn't have said it any better.

Thanks, mate. Didn't mean to quote the guy above me, just noticed I did that. Fixed it.
I'm amazed at the patience some folks have. Maybe it was my rough 3 day weekend that's left me a bit short... Appreciate the thanks, all the same.

Ok, I do go a bit fast.
I'll read...it just that I tried the cm7 mod ( i know its experimental) and the phone
would'nt boot.
With the help of the great people on the board, I got my phone working again but on FRG33 (2.2)
My last question was if it was possible ( or someone knows of because Ive checked the net) to root without unlocking ( androot and superoneclick that i know of) if I have FRG33 ( Because Ive been getting permission errors)
Finally, I wanted to know if a FRG83 stock image was available so that I could recover to it without unlocking bootloader. (or any other stock that lets me root without unlock)
I'll unlock the phone as a last option...I'm sorry...And if anyone is pissed at my posts ...well sorry I just taught some of you experts could help.

See? Looking for the easy way out again.
It's not about anyone being pissed or short on patience. Look at how frustrated you are with the situation. You're frustrated. Why? Cause you did it wrong. Why? Cause you didn't read enough first. Even after several suggestions, you still want it done, with help, right now, or you'll sulk about someone pissed and how no one held your hand through it.
Is it possible to do what you want? Absolutely! Pretty easy, too. But if you read and help yourself, you'll better understand how to update in the future, as well as how to root the future update. Or, you'll learn how to root what you have, and flash a pre-rooted stock ROM (yes, those are here as well).
So call me an ass, cool. You did in your mind, that's fine. But really, I'm trying to let you know what will help you the most, and that's having a better understanding of how to prevent a boot loop in the future, or at least how to fix it if it happens. Best of luck, man.

Here's the deal.
I did a one click root without unlocking the bootloader. Then I installed rom manager and flashed clockwork recovery. Then I did a backup ( both done in rom manager) then I went back into rom manager and installed cyanogenmod 7 and my nexus is now haxored gingerbread. Make sure you do a full wipe before flashing new roms and it'll always work.
I didn't update my radio, my hboot or anything like that. And it all just works and is dead simple. I would suggest trying z4root or universal androot and then downloading rom manager from the market.
How you managed to **** up something so simple is pretty funny dude.
I'm using an at&t band n1 with an smiled. Not the one with super LCD. I heard a rumor that the super LCD n1s have problems with certain mods. You might want to figure out what type of screen you have too.
The cyanogenmod wiki at cyanogenmod.com might help you too.

OP, you have to learn the hard way. Stop using "newbie" as an excuse.
I was also a "newbie" when I first got my Nexus One in February. Everything about android was new and alien to me. It actually took me a couple of months of lurking in xda and reading up on tutorials before I took the plunge to rooting my phone. And I did not bother anyone on that. I made sure I understood the steps and triple checked every move I made in following instructions even though I did not understand them.
I also was worried about warranty and actually did the manual way of rooting my phone without unlocking the bootloader using some method that involved cutting a piece of plastic from my battery. That was nerve wrecking and no where as simple as the superoneclick thingy you have now. Yet I survived and I did it on my own.
I must admit that you have to be a little bit confident in using computers and have some basic knowledge of typing commands in cmd. But everyone has to start from somewhere.
Seriously if it's too much trouble or too complicated, maybe staying stock or going Iphone is a more comfortable alternative.

I'm actually pretty good with computers...
Also, I have bricked 4 phones (the provider took them back) fooling around...
I could brought this one back ( they didnt check). But I want to learn...I'm pretty impulsif...Anyway so far
With FRG33 z4root works (read thanks)
Now I trying to flash clockwork...( when I download cyan 6 +google apps) it reboots but I get the triangle thingy...I click power volume up ( read that thanks) I get a blue menu...I kinda scared to click an option so I rebooted...I'm trying to use rom manager for updates because its really simple ...anyway
Thats it for tonight All of you guys are nice dudes and I'll learn and will try to help im my own way...I know I'm a newbie that likes short cuts (hell I read all day at my day job...lol) This is fun ( playing with male toys)
Thanks guys!

Rooting my Hero seemed easy, at first...

As easy as hacking psp, but then i broke the unwritten rule, i let my phone update a month ago (it said 2.2....so) which took me from the what seemed easy process of rooting a phone at 2.1 to the hard one of 2.1 update1...
downgrading back to 2.1 seemed liked a plan right cause
Code:
unrevoked.com/m
that should work then... i think and its seems almost to easy, but i just cant wrap man head around downgrading.......
I also found a easy way of doing it with the radio but my baseband version is also to high (at least from what Ive read 2 42 02 10 29)
All the stickys ive found seem to be out of date, and thats seems the case every where, i was going to use my update to get a evo instead, being new if i dont let it update it should be easy to root, but i hear after 1/30 you got to pay more, i not sure if thats counts if i activate the phone before that date tho...
so now im stuck and asking for help, somewhere to start would be mucho great. ty in advance.

Ummm......I'm lost here brother. The tutorials here work, even for the lastest update. I just did another one yesterday for a friend. Which one's have you tried?

Well see i honesly havent tried much, just been doing my homework trying to see what works, what dont, if you say these tuts are on point ill start puting everything ive gathered together and start, ill use this topic if i encounter any problems.
just alot to take in, all in one night new terms and all that...
Edit:Ok this tut http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
says if i dont have 2.27.651.5 in his case 2.27.651.6 (i have 2 32 651 2) i need to downgrade with the ruu the thread provides, since it dosent mention my build number, im unsure if it matters, going to download ruu as i dont see how it will hurt so.
any advice?

Run the "One click root apk" in the themes and apps forum. Not the universal root cause that gives people problems.
One click root apk will root whatever sprint update your on. Its super easy

Edit: so really the only reason i did this was for the wireless tether, my phone is the only internet i have so i hope it was worth it... but what else can/ should i do with it.... im unsur, can i get true android 2.2, and roms they what an OS, and whats froyo? kinda in over man head lol but i keep getting myself deeper...

well i will reccomend AOSP 0.9.8 it is very good rom....fast and stable...
make yourself a nand back up(you can use Rom manager from the market) wipe...flash and you are ready...
if you dont like it..you got the back up....so you can restore whatever you are running now....

told you it was super easy, your welcome. You can hit the thanks button if you want
as far as roms yes you want a custom one. yes you can get 2.2, it comes in two flavors, CM6 and AOSP. CM6 allows for lots of customizing. AOSP is the fastest rom you can download for this phone right now with everything working. Personally I would recommend AOSP. If you want to switch later you can(you probably will cause everyone does, its an addiction.)
you need to flash a custom recovery to do custom roms. easiest way to do that is download Rom manager from the market and use it to flash the clockwork mod recovery.
and Froyo is 2.2, Gingerbread is 2.3, and Eclair is 2.1.

I just used z4root to root my Hero and it worked fine using the newest version (1.3 I believe) and the Permanent Root option. The only hiccup that I ran into is that z4root seemed to have gotten stuck on the "Rebooting" screen. I had let it run for about 20 min and hit the Home button then went to applications and found that SuperUser was installed and the phone is actually rooted. Been able to install ROM Manager and use Titanium Backup to remove a bunch of the Sprint and HTC apps.

[Q] Complete android beginner here

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.
