I'm interested in installing a custom ROM on the myTouch 3G. Is the cyanogenmod 5.0.7 ROM considered the best/most stable? Is this the thread (
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking) I have to follow so I can install the ROM?
Do you have a newer MyTouch with the 3.5mm headset jack in the top or the one without it?
And as far as best... It's the most widely known of rom because of the developer and his infamous contact from Google telling him to stop. There are alot of roms by other devs who doing great jobs as well. Some phones take to roms better then others as well. Everyone has a different opinion on them.
I would personally suggest you follow the guides from http://theunlockr.com though. They come with videos and directions to make it a bit easier.

I have the newer one with the 3.5mm jack; is that version known as 1.2? Thanks for the link regarding unlocking the phone.
Yes that's the 1.2 version. You must follow the 1.2 directions or you'll brick your phone here's a link but I also suggest you check out this page that corrects a few things TheUnlockr got wrong.
is the only way to root the phone paying unlockr? also, is there a way to connect the phone to a mac, beyond just mounting the sd card?
You obviously did not look at the links I provided. They are videos and instructions to unlocking your phone on your own. No money needed. Next time you ask for help at least read the advice they give you.

I guess I phrased my question incorrectly.. can u execute the root procedure on a mac, or do u need windows/dos? as a mac owner, unlockr could be my only option.
yes everything can be done on a mac

Do u need a special app? I can mount the sd card, but can't sync the phone. Please advise.
Hey all, just recently picked up a used MT4G. Before I do anything to it, I'd like to start from scratch and just reinstall the most recent stock software, make sure anything the previous owner did is cleaned up.
I have no experience with Android and would love if someone could point me in the right direction, perhaps with some directions.
Thanks a ton!

Sounds good to me...where do I start?
The best bet is to do a factory reset. If you haven't done so yet then go to settings then SD and phone storage. Then select Factory data reset.

I was able to get a lot of help from some great people last night. Phone is now rooted, kernel'd and ROM'd!

Care to share your results and where you got your root info? I am looking to get the phone in Jan when I can upgrade and I am trying to learn all I can about rooting and ROMs.
Thanks.

just look in the android development section of the myTouch 4G forum
Please post questions in Q&A section.
Does anyone have the 2.2 froyo or 1.6 update in the form of sapphimg.zip or sapphimg.nbh? It would be greatly appreciated because I am stuck on Cupcake right now and cannot do anything because I do not have a data plan and cannot get past the activation (yes, even tried touching the corners).
Any advice to point me in the right direction would be appreciated..
I have a 32B G T.Mobile mytouch3g/sapphire/magic.
Also, if not possible, how can I skip the activation screen? (I'm not a noob at this, I've done this countless times on my dream and fuze)
Edit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812245 - Links broken
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807899
I saw that but the 2nd and 3rd files don't work..
EDIT: Found 2nd file on 4shared but do not know if it is legit.
Very routine to use those sites for ROMs. As long as linked in the first post by the OP then should be good. Read the thread for more info.
I edited my previous post to point to a different thread with mirror links since Google is not hosting those packages now.
Kind Regards,
Kevin
Thanks, I read those threads before but I now understand what I have to do.
Thanks for your help!

follow link above and Downgrade, sucks that you updated, but don't worry you can downgrade to the awesome 2.2.1!
It's quite difficult to brick the phone if you follow the steps exactly. the only time you may brick the phone is when it is during the process of flashing the stock 2.2.1 rom, and you pull the battery or something. So make sure you're battery is charged! and secure.
i understood the downgrade part but im very confused about emmc thing, whats adb?

ah, when you try that command, it has to be tried through adb, and the phone has to be in a custom recovery, like clockworkmod or 4EXT. since you don't have a custom recovery currently installed, it won't work. so try the other command, through terminal emulator.

Whoa, there.
Don't use that term here. We call it rooting.
Are you copy/pasting the commands into the command prompt?

No not copying and pasting. The first command wont find the phone. Drivers are installed and followed guides to a T. Just wondering if I did something incorrect.

Check your connection setting when plugging your phone into the computer. It should not be set as "usb mass storage". Select "charge only". ADB should find your phone then.

And USB debugging should be ticked in development settings.
I believe there are some guides around for setting up adb on win 7 64 bit. Did you check one of those?
Also, link me to your adb setup guide.

Aaaah! Not that question again.
That's like asking what the best car is. You have to decide that for yourself. There are roughly 2 million threads asking that question.
What are you looking for in a ROM? Maybe we can offer some suggestions. Sense? AOSP? CM? AOKP? Miui? Gingerbread? Ice Cream Sandwich? Jelly Bean? Give us some quidelines.

Hands down the best rom in here and believe me I have tried them all from GB to JB has got to be the one located in...........
Moral of the story is do your own research and the best rom is the one you end up liking the most
Edit: Also its a loaded question and I would try not to really ask that one anymore since its really a question you can only answer for yourself/ Jus Sayin'

We have plenty of JB ROMs here, but they aren't 100%. You will get 100% with ICS, mainly because of the hard work put into aospx. Still, the JB ROMs are more than usable in my experience. Check out codersz and cnote74's recent stuff.

Hmm, if Gmail and the market apps work I'm going to assume you installed the linked Gapps for your MOD or it came with it. Try downloading the calendar from the market. The one CM comes with is indistinguishable but maybe installing from the market will get you the right version.
