How can I root and flash ROMs? Thank you

My sig, either guide will work.

One more thing, is it necessary to login google account in order to open the main menu and other apps in this phone? I tried to make phone calls, but the systems did allow me to do anything unless first login to google account. That's really wierd
I didn't have any data plan, so what should I do in order to do 'usual' things like other smart phones with my T-Mobile magic? Thank you.

You have to do the Google login with this phone to use it. If you get a custom ROM installed you can skip the activation screen and enable wifi to sign in. The old sschool method will get that done but you'll need to borrow a phone that runs Android to complete the guide. Optionally you can borrow.a data enabled SIM to do the other guide.

Thanks, man.
Is there any ver2.2 ROM runs good with this specific phone?

CM 6.1 seems to work pretty good for most.

Google Activation

Hi,
I've been trying to get past the Google Activation screen on a MyTouch that has no service but have been unsuccessful. I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=588017 method but it didn't work though I didn't think it would since it shows it being done in two different patterns.
Anyone know how I can access this phone? Can I root this phone even though I've been unable to access it? If so, what method do I use.
Sorry to start a new thread for this but I posted in two other threads without luck.
Thanks.
Most of custom roms give you option to skip activation , When it comes to method , check out cyanogenmod wiki

Which version is it?
What kind of HBOOT is that, never seen that in my life. Do you mean 1.33.0006?
What do you mean which version is it? Which version of what, it's a 32B, that's all I can tell you from looking at that

I assume it's a typo and you have 1.33.0006 , if so --> forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=570659

Flashing the mytouch outside the U.S

hi,
I have a hand-me-down mytouch that was (I suppose) formatted and set to factory settings and given to me yesterday. The phone is carrier locked I think, since insertion my SIM card asks for a network password.
My phone is of the 32B variety.
I think you can request t-mobile (nicely) to give you the network code, but it wont be possible for many days atleast. And I want my 2.1 now
I tried Cyanogen's method and I think it comprises of 3 steps:
1. using a FAT32 SD card to flash COC10 build. This has been done successfully.
2. Using FlashRec to do backup and install another kernel. I'm not exactly sure what this step does and whether it is a mandatory or optional step. I cant do this because of the lock.
3. Install latest versions of update-cm-5.0.7-DS-signed.zip and gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed.zip . I havent reached this step yet.
Could someone help on what I should do - at this point, I am not being too picky about various ROM flavors and I'll use anything that works.
Thanks in advance.

Best ROM for 32B!
Just making sure but you do realize rooting and unlocking are 2 different things. By rooting your phone you can get 2.1 etc... but you're phone will still be locked to T-mobile.
U can't get a network code from t-mobile and they said I have to be customer. Now my myouch is and ipod touch: '(. Might have to bite the bullet and buy 1.

Try an online unlock service?
@cten1 - went to ebay and bought an unlock code for 10.90$ (that particular value is used by only one of them .. and I didnt want to give free advertising to anyone). I chose that particular seller cos he had a very high rating for unlocks and claimed that the unlocks are generated off HTC database, not T-mobile's
I got the unlock code in 20 minutes or so - he just requires the IMEI and the phone details (like I gave in the second post)
Well worth it - I suppose you can try it.
Oh and thanks @mydevji13 - I actually didnt know that rooting and unlocking were different things. I now have Cyanogen 5.0.7 (Android 2.1) on my phone.
I think it is the most newbie friendly ROM out there.
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

anyone wanna help with rooting?

I have tried numerous methods and I still haven't achieved root access. Tried making a gold card ect. Searched for hours through the perfect spl thread and was on a computer for 6 hours last night trying to root this any one have a clue.

First of all if you follow all the instructions you shouldn't have any difficulty.
Secondly, you posted in the wrong section. I'll move to General but next time I'll close your thread.
Third, I took the honors of removing post #2 and used the EDIT button to modify your original post. You should also consider editing your original post before posting one to correct it for future reference.
my fault thanks for answering my question. The reason I couldn't edit my post is cause I'm doing this off my phone.

Really? Hmm. I can edit mine through my phone just fine.
NEWB.........
Lol some mods just cant drop it. And for your info i followed the instructions to a t and still no root. I was simply asking for help not to get griped at. If you read my post completely you would have noticed i clearly said I had tried numerous times. And opera mini in mobile mode didn't let me edit my post.
Bump any idea on what I'm doing wrong?

Try the FlashRec method?
Try the Goldcard method?
Could be the wrong SappIMG file?
Who knows. You have a perfected spl so it's hard to say.
What works fine for some MyTouch phones may not work for others.
Since we don't know what instructions you have used and what methods you have used it's impossible for us to tell you what you're doing wrong.
It's not that we don't want to help, because we do, it's just very difficult to do so when we know nothing about what you have done so far to do it yourself.
So far the only thing that you said was you followed 'THE' instructions (which ones... we don't know) and failed with a MyTouch device with these specifications:

That's all you've given us. Don't get upset at me (the "Power Trip Moderator") or the rest of the community because we haven't given you an answer to your question.
The more you break rules 2 and 3 the less likely you will receive the assistance that you are so desperate to receive.
I found a member with the exact same device as yours.

His username is psycodrumfreak and he has successfully rooted his device (at least at one point since he decided to Un-Root) so it seems to be possible.
I had sent him a private message to assist you.
Please show more patience with him than you did in this thread and treat him with the utmost respect whether he can/does help you or not.
Spent a whole five minutes searching.
Lets see what happens thanks

[Q] Root or SMS?

I am thinking of un-rooting; for the purpose of receiving SMS messages. No ROM I have tried has given me the ability to receive all of the SMS messages sent to me. Theres nothing (that I know of that would cause this problem). Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Currently using a stock 2.2.1 ROM with root added...
So, should I un-root, is there a custom ROM that works, or what am I doing wrong?
Have you made sure your APN settings are correct or your carrier? A Google search will get you the settings and you can verify them against what your phone has under wireless networks.

What's your fastboot info? What carrier are you with? Do you want to root? Let's start there.

i used a SuperOneClick to root it and it was successful in providing me su access.
i have read that i still need to change s-on to s-off but it says that i need a goldcard. is there any other way without using one of those? Please help.
there is an official 2.2.1 rom by htc. you can download on support section on htc.com. but because it's an official rom you will not have root access.
There is nothing there except a user manual now.
I turned on the wifi and play with the android market, after a while, a message pop up automatically and ask me if I allow the phone to download the 2 upgrade package for the phone. I choose Yes, and the phone start downloading and upgraded to Froyo. (My phone is an unlocked T-mobile phone with a dummy T-mobile sim card inserted). That was just a month ago.
i'm stayed all night last night waiting for the upgrade on market, but nothing. Can some one just copy some tutorial with valid links, so we can do this???
