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!
ed

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.

Options for Official Sprint 2.1

Hey Guys,
My wife has had the official Sprint 2.1 on her phone for a month or so and has had nothing, but problems. I am sure she would love to go back to stock 1.5 and I know she really doesn't want me to root her phone, but I am just wondering what options I have to get her something more stable. Her phone really has worked horrible since the update, I have been on various 2.1 roms for months and have not had near the problems she has had. Thanks for any ideas.

i say go ahead and root it. i was so scared when i rooted mine but it was all pretty easy. and its almost impossible to brick your phone. and then flash this rom
its the stock 2.1 rom just rooted and literally no issues and a major speed increase. my 2cents

It is not an issue of me rooting her phone. My phone is rooted and has been forever. I flash roms all the time. She does not want her phone rooted, but if that is the only option I might be able to convince her. However I am not convinced anything stock even with root would be a good option.

That is your only option. The way HTC designed this phone you cannot downgrade back to 1.5 unless HTC put out a new RUU to do so(which isn't going to happen).
If she wants 1.5 then you have to root to do so.

My wife didnt want me to root her samsung moment. I did it anyways, and she couldnt be happier. Have it overclocked as well.
Just dont tell the wife...they'll never know. Woman don't like technology change. You have to override that.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
I was going to say the same thing. Just root it and flash a ROM and say here you go. She can always run the 2.1 RUU again.

See, your problem is, you need your Wife to be rooted so you can have SU access.
Once you do that, then you can root her phone.....

Well I can tell she is frustrated, when she just looked at me and said "I don't care just get it fixed." Now I just need to read up on how to root a stock 2.1 since I did mine back at 1.5.

i think they make an app where you can just click on it and its rooted. i'll find it real quick

here is the link to that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695698

or follow the GUIDE in the development section. It takes 8 min to root the stock 2.1 RUU. Hopefully she's on the .5 build tho. Very simple

[Q] How to choose a correct Shipped ROM for wildfire

Hey!! Guys i m newbie on my hTC Wildfire so i want to ask which shipped rom to choose at shipped roms site....
Plzzz help in this problem...
or if i choose any of them it causes problem or not..???
thnx in advance
HTC Wildfire
White
Buyed from UK
UNLOCKED

You can choose any, as long as its not operator specific (TMobile, Vodafone, Tesco etc.)
For your region, you can choose RUU 2.22.405 WWE. But remember, you will lose root if you flash this. If you want to retain root, flash a 'safe' version of the RUU (Which is untouched, with just the HBOOT removed to that root ability is preserved) From the WildPuzzle 2.2.1 thread (v0.0)

I tried to use the "safe" one, but it didn't "boot" the sense.
I wans't able to see "desktop".
That's my problem with modaco's rooms also.
With Openfire 'n CyanogenMod i haven't got any problems.
About WildPuzzle.... well i didn't try it!
Can someone tell me why i can't use stock rom, and those ones?
I wanna try OTA 2.2....

First boot on Sense ROM's take a long time. ~7-10 minutes. During this time, if you unlock the screen, all you see is the HTC Logo, which is normal.
If you get OTA FroYo, remember, you wont be able to root and flash any more custom ROM's.

if i rooted my wildfire & installed a custom rom so how to unroot in future if i like..????

That's the million dollar question which none of the experts here will answer.
I hope you have not rooted yet. There's nothing to gain from a rooted phone for casual users. App2SD available in Froyo. Leave it alone.
One thing that experts don't tell you is how many times in a day you will have to pull out the battery for each custom ROM. Bollocks.

Download a RUU from Shipped ROM's. Install HTC Sync, connect your Wildfire to your PC using HTC Sync Mode, and, run the RUU file (It is an EXE File). It will then install the RUU, and, you will lose your root.

Lol, I have been using Wildpuzzle for about 2 months or so with no battery pulls what so ever. Yes, some roms have bugs, but if you take some time and read the topics (if you can read), you`ll find out answers to these bugs, or just know about them and avoid those roms.... it`s that so hard?

I've only ever had to battery pull twice, on very early CM builds. I've tried many ROMs, including Sense ones.
You're doing it wrong.

Iv not pulled my battery out at all :/ ... im no expert

Revert Back to Telus 1.84 ROM

Hello
I'm trying to revert my phone back to the stock ROM from telus. I've downgraded to 1.32 and gave up when i found out that sound on the desire HD doesnt work on CM7.
How do I revert back?
ive searched the forum and tht's all ive found
" just flash a stock RUU? That uses your PC to flash your phone, not bootloader."
any help would be appreciated. Where do i get the RUU file and how do i go about doing this.
A $10 paypal donation will given to anyone who helps. i really need to get the phone back, its my girlfriend's. (
btw i have turned S-air off and done a perm-root with visionary already.. how do i get the cherry back in place?lol

You can flash either Raidroid in clockworkmod, or use Telus RUU. Android Revolution HD is also a good (the best) option if you want performance and good battery life.
Raidroid is a stock ROM that will keep your root and S-OFF, so it is easy to flash a custom ROM in the future. RUU will revert your phone to stock, Radio S-OFF will remain if you used it. Android Revolution HD is the best custom ROM out there. Every option gives you working sound.

are there any issues with android revolution?like sound problems with the CM7?

Nope, Telus users are reporting that it works great. Some users have had small microphone echo while using it, but that can be fixed by flashing a simple zip in clockworkmod just like you would flash a ROM.

ok, i'll try android revolution hd. Earlier today when i checked the terminal was showing the # instead of $. now when i checked, its back to $. I went on visionary app again, did a temp root and perm root, and checked the terminal again but its still showing the $ sign.
i don't know what the build number is for, but its now on 1.32. I wanna go back to the 1.84. I've noticed that the revolution HD has the 'official HTC RUU 1.84.61.2', so in the process of flashing the ROM, 1.84 should be back, right??
I'm a little bit confused about baseband versions and md5 checksums. mine is 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M. which radio version should i flash with?
I'm totally new to this and I hope to get working by tomorrow night. I really appreciate your help, donation will definitely be made once i get this thing working. i couldnt pick up any calls today..lol
Thanks a lot

Android Revolution works perfect, and has lots of customization options.
In case you still want Cyanogen, CM7 nightly build 12 worked just fine on my Telus... It has the sound fix built in to it.

After you flash a ROM with 1.84, you'll be back on 1.84
I wouldn't mess around with radio just yet, it works fine using stock Telus radio. If you notice battery drain or reception issue then flash the recommended radio.

ok so i'm running revolution HD right now, and the in-call sound quality is really bothering. I've installed that zip file mentioned above that is "supposed" to fix it but still the same
Are you running CM7 on yours?hows the incall sound quality? i might revert back to the stock ROM. Its weird how a slightly modified stock ROM is giving such an issue.

Different kernel or no?

So currently im running the following.
Device: MyTouch 4G Black
Root: Permanent Root/S-OFF
ROM: Cyanogen mod 7.0.3
Kernel: Stock that comes with cyanogen
Radio: 12.52.60.25_26.08.04.30
Bootloader: Engineering bootloader
Yes I don't post here often. I actually had a MT3G i was going to root, decided i didn't know enough about it so i wanted awhile. Well a friend had JUST gotten his MT4G from an upgrade then gotten out of the contract with t-mobile and was able to keep his phone so i bought it for $100 seeing as i still had a slow MT3G and wasn't wanting to sign another 2 yr contract. Anyways i read enough on it and learned enough so i rooted it/flashed it.
Anyways I was wondering if I should flash a new kernel or not? I was thinking maybe faux's LV krnel? Any input is appreciated

If you want to change the kernel then check out demon speed kernel. Big selection of different governors and very quick and good on battery. If you're unsure about how to flash, just remember to wipe both caches only.
