In approximately a week, I plan on rooting my phone. Unfortunately for now, I must wait for the 2gb kingston microsd that I ordered to arrive.
I have spent numerous weeks browsing xda and other sites to try and understand how to root as I am a newbie in this field. I would like to verify a few things though.
How I will root:
It is assumed that I follow unlockr's fender/1.2 guide that was posted on the 13th of March and use the files listed.
However, a few things boggle me.
First of all, shouldn't I backup the rom with nandroid? or does using a goldcard somehow been I can't do so? I'm not sure of how that works.
Second, my primary intention regarding rooting the phone is so that I may use wifi tethering periodically when I'm at a hotel that charges an arm or a leg for using their internet. A comment on the unlockr site shows that one rooter ran into a "no netfilter found" type error. Considering there is no CM rom for this specific phone yet, what would be the solution to this? Preferably, I assume that android-wifi-tether is the app that I would want to use.
Last of all, under the assumption that mytouch 1.2 users are given the android 2.1 OTA in the future: How would a root phone user get this? I haven't quite understood whether or not android is physically built in or part of the rom itself or separate. Would I either need to somehow find a way of manually upgrading 1.6 to 2.1 at a later time or would I simply swap out the "stock fender rom w/ root access" with a newer version when the time comes? Obviously this confuses me xD
I can't think of any other questions at the moment to ask, but if there is any additional advice anyone can offer: I would be delighted to be informed.
Whatever you do don't follow the instructions from the Unlockr -- I couldn't use my phone for an entire day. I have a Fender and there was a another thread here that I was super helpful. I will see if I can dig it up.

The Unlokr's guide worked perfectly for me. Just because you can't follow instructions doesn't mean other people can't.
The unlockr's guide also worked for me. I had an issue making gold card, but that was because I overlooked something and nothing in regards to the guide.
Follow the directions word for word and you will be fine. It may seem a little intimidating at first but in the end it's not complicated. Took me longer to make the gold card than to get root.
Good luck!

Well it wasn't until I found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622530
And I downloaded the SAPPIMG 2010 SPL that it worked and before I realized that I needed to reflash the SPL and Radio after flashing ROM (which aren't on that site but in that thread).
From flashing and unlocking in WinMo to this is a learning curve for people that don't troll boards proving how neat-o they are.
From what I had read before, when unlockr made the guide specifically for the 1.2/fender: he had updated the sappimg with the appropriate one. In theory that means the one you mentioned and his should in theory now be the same. correct?
Could i get a second opinion on the part specifically about reflashing spl & radio after flashing rom? As zmattmanz states, "Once it loads click reboot and you are all set!" in the guide does indeed conflict with "reboot into fastboot
back out of update when it asks and flash STOCK radio and SPL back, now reboot".
My question regarding nandroid and OTA had already been answered elsewhere so those two are nullified. However, could I get info on people's attempts to use android-wifi-tether on the rooted fender/1.2 since I'm assuming it doesn't have netfilter?
EDIT: actually after having taken a second glance at the two guides: It looks like unlockr doesn't downgrade but rather just uses the stock radio/spl mid-way through while the xda guide downgrades then requires reverting to stock at the end. right?

Tethering does not work as you mentioned because netfilter is not included with the current kernel. As I currently understand it, HTC is in violation of the GPL for not releasing the kernel from the new MyTouch 3G/1.2 (this meaning tethering would work. I also believe that more custom ROMS would be available when/if HTC releases the new kernel)
As to your edit, just stick with the Unlockr guide. Once you finish flashing the 'Custom Fender w/ Root Access' ROM then you are done. Once you reboot it may take a while for it to load so give it some time.

In regards to your post: thank you very much!!
In regards to tethering....dang it D:
No problem. Good luck!
Anyone have issues where some apps that were bought no longer show up for downloading? Ive tried market enabler, pushing Vending.apk from a known source. Nothing I do makes it work.
Fixed this. Push a known good build.prop. Probably any will work.
well, I don't know how you guys do it,
I followed the instructions on theunlockr, and made my gold card with no problems, my troubles have come when downloading the SAPPIMG,
I keep getting a message that the file is corrupted, I tried another SAPPIMG on another thread, and same message, I tried on a different computer and still, no-go, so am stuck there, I can't find a SAPPIMG for the mytouch 1.2 that doesn't get me that message.
can somebody post a their SAPPIMG file here, pleasse??

Cody, is the radio mentioned in your sig the one that unlockr's guide will use end-result? If so, then wouldn't this rom do the trick for getting android-wifi-tether working?

I just rooted my phone the other day and of course the night I go out and leave the phone at home the g/f has to use my phone. Well it said OTA and she thought it was something I didn't finish and, yup u guessed it she gave me the update. I lost root as you know and now is there any way for me to get root back at this point?. I have a HTC Espresso 3g slide with T-Mobile and any help would be appreciated a lot. I was all set to do my ROM today and now this. Go Figure...
Not At this time no.

i forgot where i read this, but i read in theory that the Droid X method to root should work on any previous android phones, jus needs to be changed for the phone..
This method i did use for my N1 and it worked great! some one was able to make it work for the n1 hopefully some can do the same for the Slide
I looked into this method and yes it should work I have the files and ill upload them and post them in a new thread and see if we can get it to work.
I works off of some exploit in the working android system to trick the device into trusting the su and superuser.apk and busybox as android systems files and installing them, has to do with bluetooth and wifi exploit it least that's what I understood

It was already on stock firmware, i manually updated my phone since i was having trouble rooting it. It wouldnt say offline in rec mode, but i tried it after the update with a new sd card and it says offline now...But it doesnt matter since root is blocked anyway..

Well I have been looking everywhere looking for a fix for this and it seems right now that you and I are the only ones that this has happened too. I'm sure there are others. Just for a lack of something to do I have been trying all sorts of things but nothing has worked so far. If I find a fix I will post it here to help out of course. Sooner or later someone will come up with one since all the phones being sold now or people that haven't rooted yet will need new root.zip files I would think.

YUP this method would be great!, but to let you know this method does not fully install BusyBOX! learned this yesterday lol
when your in terminal or adb shell and do "cp" cmd it will give you not found.. but i found this script to fully install it after root

if you wanted to do a "cp cmd" you would have to do "busybox cp"
I just posted a hot to in dev section that will walk you thru downgrading and easy root vs loop method.
I have a mytouch 3g without the 3.5 mm headset jack and im trying to find a reliabble root method. The phone is running 2.2.1 build number FRG83D. If anyone could help me out with step by step directions ono how to root this device i would really appreciate it.
i have the same phone with same build.
i have tried to use the procedure described in the unlockr dot com url.
How To: Root the HTC MyTouch 3G

(cannot link the url because this is my first post here)
but i am not able to go beyond the first step.
in the hboot it does not pick up the sappimg.nbh file.
can you try it and see if it works. want to know if its the build or my device thats the problem.
thanks
First off, wrong section, this should be in General, not Development.
As for what your trying to do, try using the SuperOneClick method, found here. Your probably trying to root using the goldcard method which will work, but isn't what you want to do. Use the method I linked and let me know if it works. Hopefully, it will and didn't get patched.
frg83d build breaks 1 click root.
just read this article on theandroidphone dot com
2.2.1 is out, breaks 1-click root
1 click root will not work on this phone
Sorry man. Im new to the whole forum scene

I heard from somewhere that the 2.2.1 update fixes that flaw so the 1-click method is probably not going to work. If he uses the goldcard method it will downgrade his radio too since I am pretty sure this new update will also come with a new radio. Just recently, I used the update.zip method of flashing to the new radio and it went flawlessly. Not noticing any difference in it though regarding performance.
And yes I was feeling... dangerous when I flashed the radio.
EDIT: Oh! Thread moved.
LOL. Yes we do get the new radio. Saw someone post their system info on the t-mobile forums that had gotten the update. Hopefully we'll see a fix for one of the one-click root apps soon.

One click worked for me on my 2.2.1 without problem. What gave me problem is that new update was restoring origonal recovery after reboot. I believe best way to do it is flash 1.5 SAPPIMG or whatever that file called, than install rooted 1.6 and then already rooted froyo. Dont foeget to install recovery from amon ra or clockwork when you will be on 1.5. Tutorial on how to do it is in dasansrule post, link is in my tutorial: development/[custom Radio SPL] sticky

Look in the vision g2 section I was in the same boat as you there is a tut in those forums for downgrading to 2.2.1 with adb it also works for mt4g wish I still had link but its there
Same here... Lost my phone and received the replacement yesterday (off course version 2.3.4). Turned out it is a refurbished, the speaker not working, the earpiece not working. I missed another release of lovely Miui
I just happened to see this post and am curious what the problem is... Why are you downgrading it???
I have a Mytouch 4g (HTC Glacier) which was having issues and I just got the replacement. I have not even turn it on, but I have not doubt it will be 2.3.3-- their latest OTA udpate.
Is there going to be any problem rooting this?? Again, it alarmed me that people were trying to downgrade..
Has the firmware/bootloader changed???

There is no method to root 2.3.4 yet. That's why people have to downgrade.
Do you mean like downgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.2.1 root it, and then upgrade to 2.3.4?
But the only way to do that is if we had the stock 2.3.4 rom, which we don't have, correct?
So I can skip the root and wait, or I can downgrade and be able to use 50% of the apps which I would otherwise be unable to use as they require root.
This sucks.... I am sure someone is working hard on this... but I am surprised there has not been any method (even one that was risky -- as in one typo and you've bricked it) figured out by someone...
Ummm.. Next question then, Can anyone tell me any obvious benefits of the TMO 2.3.4 stock? Is it fast, or mediocre? Or is it just worthless due to the fact that you cannot root it?

Didn't quite understand what you mean but yes, if you got the phone pre-installed with TMO's 2.3.4 then there's no way to root that. You would have to downgrade back to Froyo then root it.
There really are no benefits to TMO's stock 2.3.4 since CM7 2.3.5, VU's 2.3.4 and MIUI's 2.3.5 GB are all better and faster. And even if you liked TMO's GB version for some reason there are rooted and deodexed versions to flash in the dev section. So there really is no downside to rooting.
And as previously stated, the only way to downgrade would be to use that thread in the G2 section which requires ADB.
If you have any questions I just finished downgrading my replacement phone and and rooting via gfree last night.
And before last night I've never even used ADB before.
Found 2 threads that helped me do just that.
Got it all downgraded then followed a video to root gfree. (mackster248)
(Never rooted that way before either.)
Anyway PM if you need help. Maybe I can help you out.

But this method cannot be used if you have 2.3.4 stock, correct? I looked at it quickly.... it doesn't seem to mention downgrading (unless I overlooked it), so it would require downgrade to Froyo first, correct?

Yes you would half to downgrade to 2.2.1 to root there is no way to root 2.3.4 right now
Yea, unlike most of the other HTC. Phones that got a 2.3.4 update, revolution doesn't support unlocking the mytouch 4g without a downgrade. On the first page of this thread I posted a link to downgrade and the easiest way I found to root. Someone also posted links on this page. I found a few other root methods but they required you to install apps to gain temp root access or download files on the phones browser. The link I found actually only requires you to dl and unzip a few files to your PC and run maybe 10 or 12 commands in a terminal. Very easy.

When will the mytouch 4g 2.3.4 be rooted?! I read on October 1 that it'll be rooted "in the coming weeks"...its nearly November. Anyone have any updates at all? Or will 2.3.4 never be rooted? Thank you for all of your help!

it will come out when the developers release it.
it'll be rooted when you downgrade to 2.2.1 :X
j/k or whenever, dunno how much progress/work people have been making on developing it
downgrade
I have tried that available link to downgrade but all in vain. i successfully got temp root but not able to perem root. so when i put downgraded stock rom, recieving message newer version is there and visionary is not helpful in my case.
Any idea how to do that .
The only reason i want to root is my camera . i dont know what happened to it. but whenever i try to use my camera it ended up in blank screen.
I am not good in that but thinking to change the rom maybe it resolve my problem
Any help / guidance thanks in advance.

What do you mean newer version? Are you following the downgrade guide that requires adb to push, execute some files, and flash all by adb. When you downgrade, you don't simply flash the pd15img.zip you should follow the guide.

Look in my signature, see a link to Wiki. Open it, go to section "Root", subsection "Gingerbread 2.3.4". There will be a guide which needs to be executed IN FULL.
Try and read this with caution NOT ME OR THE PERSON WHO MADE THIS IS REPONSIBLE... it has a one click downgrade and a one click root.. after all that is down, there's a root version of gingerbread available... one step at a time...
