so i had tmobile with a data plan on my mytouch. but when i switched over to verizon. i ended up reseting my mytouch so now i have to activate it to do anything with it. i just want it on for the basic features so its not just sitting around collecting dust. ive been lookin around and cant seem to find a solution to bypass the activation screen. any help would be greatly appreciated
You'll have to root and install a custom ROM or get a prepaid SIM, select the option to purchase the day data pass, then root and install a custom ROM to prevent it in the future.

Sure you can. You can get into the hboot by holding down the volume down key while powering on the device. Which also means you can root using the goldcard method. Actually, boot using that method and post the text here and there's a slight chance you can root without the goldcard.

just use someones sim card that has data and turn wifi on thats it

Ok you'll have to follow my original post. You can make a goldcard using any phone running Android. The other option of using the prepaid SIM or borrowing a data enabled one would be easier though.

So i decided to root my gf's phone and i have been rooting my phones since the g1 but never got to hers....it looks like i waited to long lol...so i used the gold card method and got it downgraded to 1.6 i believe but i cant for some reason fast boot it from my mac can anyone help with the command translation to mac...
Sir.. I believe the gold card method is a bit out of date.there is one step rooting. Don't you have to downgrade to android 1.5 for gold card to ???¿?

Ok, I recently got my hands on a MT3G, no 3.5mm, and I'm trying to root it. It came with Froyo already on it (2.2.1) and as far as I understad, no one click method works for 2.2.1? Anyway I'm trying to downgrade and use the goldcard method but I keep getting the Main version is older message. I've used 3 different sappimg files but same thing. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? This is my first time trying to root
You didn't make your goldcard right. Secondly, stop flashing different sappimg.zip's or you'll possibly end up bricking your phone. Lastly, this is rumored to still be working with the 2.2.1 update. If that one doesn't work, post your fastboot info here. With the phone turned off, turn it on holding back+power and post everything you see there.
I rooted my mytouch 3g a few days ago, I used super one click, and my phone has no 3.5mm jack. all 32b phones work with super one cancel so far i know

Ok guys the Super One Click method worked for me. Got rom manager installed. Made backup and now trying to flash Cyanogen 6.1. But it gets stuck in reset loop. What's the deal now?
Turn your phone off, then turn it back on holding back+power. Post everything you see there.

Your problem is that you have a 28.25 radio, which is new and cyanogen doesnt support it yet, he will soon enough though. You either have to find a compatible kernel with your radio or flash this rom
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/11548-cm61-2708port-for-new-radiospl-unofficial/
Flash this rom and it should work. If it worked hit the thanks button.

OK, about to try this now and will report back.
Report: It worked! Thanks alot for that tip and thanks to everyone else who took time to help this Android n00b
I think you need to get the 1.33.0013 SPL if you are using that radio... someone may need to confirm this, but you should look info that to see if this is related...
That's the spl I used and all is working great now

I think you need to do that only if your PC is having problems detecting your phone. All I did was plug it in with USB debugging enabled.

I am having a similar problem
I begun experiencing issues today. I have been running CyanogenMod 7 for myTouch 4G :: V7.0.0-RC1 (2/15/2011), a total of 4 days now.
Sometime today, my phone would not connect to any networks. When I scan for, then try to connect to networks, my phone states "Sim card does not allow a connection to this network."
I went to the store and replaced the SIM and still have the problem. I have tried the SIM from a working Galaxy 4G, with no luck. My SIM works in all my other phones!
Thinking it has something to do with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996 , I have been attempting to revert completely to stock.. I have the stock ROM on but can not seem to get S=ON...
Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Same thing happened to me. I've read a few other threads dealing with the same problem. The best bet is that you restore back to stock rom and send it in for a replacement
I have the same issue...
My HTC glacier is perm rooted and Im running oon Iced Glacier v1.1.6 and my kernal is 2.6.32.21 Gorilla-OC 1.6 ghz...while everything else is running fine..awesome speed, Im actually at 1.7 ghz overclocked but my phone wont recognize my sim card. The issue lies in that it was doing that before I rooted and installed custom flash , can anyone point me in the right direction, i love this phone and it functions fine on its own but i basically have an unlimited date plan that im paying for ,for nothing since once i leave home the phone cant pick up tmobile 4g network..PLEASE SOMEONE HEEELLLLP!

Here is te the deal I have an htc magic model A6161. It is a 32a magic and it is an htc branded phone. I rooted my device successfully and installed a custom rom on it. Everything worked fine until I flashed the 6.35.10.18 radio. Now my device can only boot on fastboot mode and bootloader, and when try to turn it on normally it just shows the htc logo for a few seconds and then reboot itself doing the same
I just wanted to know if there is a way for me to get my phone working Again. Here is the info of my phone :

if i am correct (which i may not be cuz i dont know much about 32a phones) then i think you have to flash an spl that goes with the 6.xx radios.
Yes I thought that as well but the thing is that I can't flash anything with in recovery because when boot my phone in recovery mode it reboots itself before a can do something. I tried to flash with fastboot but I could'nt ether because my magic is SHIP S-ON H and I need it to be S-OFF H to do that. Just in case I know that the "S" means security. Do you know how can get it be S-OFF instead of S-ON. If I can do that then I think I will be able to fix my phone. If not any other helpful info is welcomed.

Hello, all. I'm sorry I write in this threat, but I have exactly same problem. I got the SPL to 1.33.2009 S-OFF from 1.33.0009 S-ON and when I tried to update the radio to 6.35 ( via the Radioswitcher tool )- it was successful, but can't boot. Nore fastboot or RadioSwitcher does the work ( phone goes into black screen ).
Wish you luck with our issue.
edit: I managed to flash the old image but now it's stuck on the "HTC MAGIC" logo, and still won't boot.
edit2: Got everything back, like before, but still can't boot. Have to mention that, when updated, I used the top options from the RS GUI, "Flash bundled Radio, SPL& Recovery" with checked "Erase system+userdata+cache" - is this, what I've done wrong ? If I understand correctly, a custom rom flash would fix the problem, because I've deleted the system, right ?
Thank's for your time.
Sorry grundio I whish I could help you but I do not have experience with 32a magics at all.but maybe the guy how is helping me can give you a hand as well. Let's wait for him to reply. Otherwise if you need some help with 32b devices I might be helpful.
Sent from my Yoshi Mod MM1 on 32b using XDA App
Thank you, @gabriel.castro. Wish you luck .
Well, if we can go into fastboot- there is always hope. I think I accidently deleted my rom and flash would fix it, but I am hoping for a confirmation, to be sure.
I have a 32A. I'd say follow the instructions here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Magic_(32A):_Rooting_(6.35.x_radio)
And once you get a working ROM booted up (Yoshi's, CM, etc), take it slow on upgrading again. Also, I don't personally trust apps like that, just do it the commandline way and it'll just work. Dunno, I just trust commands more xD.
sorry if i'm mistaken but i think that in order to this procedure to succeed my phone most be able to boot normally first. and that is my problem. i can't get it to boot normally. but thanks for your time anyway
