i was reading instructions on how to root but i belive its more difficult to root a 32b version. can someone show me the easiest way to root a 32b mytouch?
thank you so much.
Check out the Cyanogen wiki for instructions to flash his rom on your Mytouch, the instructions are simple. Yes, you also get root access.
when i attempt to flash to the sappimg i get an error saying "Main version is older"
and in the cyan wiki it says the goldcard method does not work.
im having the same problem...i never had these many problems rooting a phone . I have a g1 that i rotted flawlessly. not only did i hear the gold card method doesn't work but it also is very complicated. Im stuck! I really wish the one click root method work for the 1.6
Pvt 32b
hboot 1.33.0007 sapp3000
cpld10
radio 2.22.19.26i
when i had my g1 rooting was easy, this is a nightmare.
I think you have to downgrade to 1.5 to root. That's what I did. Good luck!
Also as mentioned before, check out the cyanogenmod wiki. It gives a very detailed instructions list to help you out.
downgrading to 1.5 is the problem we CANT!!!!

ARE WE THE ONLY TWO THAT GET THIS?!!!?
I think the only way is either suck it up and use the goldcard method or wait until flashrec updates the apk. we're screwed!
I had this message when I rooted my 32b device yesterday so I followed the gold card option and everything worked without a hitch.
I was told it didnt work in Windows 7 but it worked fine on my xp pc.
Happy to help if you have questions.
Cheers

Guess its a 32B problem, im able to downgrade to 1.5 but them im getting an error when im trying to use Flash Recover to back up my files.

this video helped me root it by downgrading. If this doesn't work, I don't know..

Are you following this steps form the cyanogen wiki?
h t t p ://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
I had the problem with flash recovery when I was running it under 1.6. Once I downgraded back to 1.5, it works fine without a hitch. Flashrec version: flashrec-20090815.apk.
same error message
I'm getting the same error message. I have previously rooted around 10 mytouch phones without problems, but using the same procedure now is giving me that error. It looks like the Hboot software has been updated on any newer phones and is having an issue with updating (or backdating, I suppose) to 1.5
If anyone has a work around I would love to know it.
The old version of Hboot that used to work is HBOOT-1.33.0006
The new version, which is not working, is HBOOT-1.33.0007
Anyone know of a way to backdate the HBOOT software?
WTF....
This phone is impossible to root (over acting,but pissed off) I've tried everything I've read online...I was able to build a goldcard from unlockr's web page,and when installing the sappimg file the damn phone still doesn't want to give up the 1.6....there has got to be something or someone out there that has encountered this bullchip and fixed it
I have a 32B mytouch. did you try unrooting first, before rooting? Just a thought bc i had to do it before rooting, and i had never rooted my phone before that.
do i have root???
HBoot - 1.33.0006 (SAPP 30000)
CPLD - 10
Radio - 2.22.19.261
As i search the forum, i realized that i have "perfected SPL"...that would require me to go through "goldcard" method. I tried and it was so complicated for me...
And then i saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633895 which said you should follow cyanogen's method on this site http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod.
so i follow the steps and everything worked out and now i have cyanogens rom running on my MT3G. .... now my question is ....do i have root??...
can i flash other people's roms assuming i have all the right radio and SPL...
when i try to install Amon_RA's recovery img through Terminal Emulator, after i type $su and hit enter....nothing happens....it does not ask me for su permission????.....
Please Help....If i dont have root how was i able to flash cyanogens rom??
do i need to do the goldcard method....or am i set...with root.??
after looking into many posts and trying for over a week i still can't manage to root my cousin's HTC wildfire.
he bought it of T-mobile with contract and i flash "RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.37.405.1_Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe" only thing that changed flashing that he can now use battery for longer hours. but still i can't manage to S-off (security off).
I've tried
1: revoked
1a: revoked using custom method
2: alpharevx (the iso says not competable)
3: tried using Superone tool
4: almost everything on XdA website and outside
well i am not sure what is wrong
whenever i try to flash recovery through ADB fastboot or other methods it give me error and wont let it go thru, even if i push it thru adb it just give me error at end and thats all... so frustrating.
Any suggestions? any help?
Appreciate ur help in advance and thanks for taking time looking into this post.
Cheers

Unrevoked won't work on hboot 1.01 . And if your hboot is 0.80, then you need to install hacked hboot drivers in windows pc to use unrevoked. And there is no alpharevx ISO bootable cd yet AFAIK. May be you have used alpharev 1.8 ISO image which is not supported for wildfire. Then superone click root method will not give a permanent root to wildfire with S-ON.
Looks like your hboot is 1.01.x
Check your hboot version first. Power off your device. Then by holding vol down key, power on the device. Now you will see hboot menu. If your hboot version is 1.01.x with s-on then alpharevx is the only option to root your phone presently.
This link applies to you if your hboot is 1.01.x. If you face any problems with alpharevx program, then downgrade to hboot 1.01.0001

I got my sisters Wildfire here and it's stuck in a bootloop.
It is NOT rooted, has no S-Off and so on.
It has the stock rom.
It didn't run fluently, so I just rebooted it. But since then it doesn't boot.
Tried taking out battery, putting it back in, no success.
Tried taking out SD-Card. no success.
Then I booted into Bootloader (Vol + Power down).
Buzz PVT Ship S-ON
HBOOT-1.01.0001
MICROP-0622
TOUCH PANEL-ATMELCO 3_16ac
RADIO-3.35.20.10
All I get to choose is Fastboot, Recovery, Clear storage and Sim-lock.
Recovery turns out to be nothing, I can't get to it. Might be, because there is no CWM on it.
I was lucky to be able to root and s-off my DHD, so I don't have any idea, how to fix this problem with the Wildfire.
Any suggestions how to solve this little problem?
Thanks in advance
Which method u adopted for rooting....try revolutionary method and u will be s-on....bt ur mobile doesn't on....try to intall ruu which can be downloaded from shipped-roms.com,download wwe version file....run it,it will install stock rom again,then enable debugging mode,goto revolutionary.io fill the form and copy generated alphanumeric code carefully and download the file run it and u will get s-on....

Thanks, but actually I neither want root nor s-off on it...I just want to get this smartphone to boot again...I'll try to get the RUU on it, like you suggested
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
Would "RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_s
igned.exe" be the right one?
And if, what to do next with it?
Thanks in advance
- Extract the Rom.zip from the RUU you listed. Procedure here:
http://lukasz.szmit.eu/2010/04/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-android.html
- Rename this zip to PC49IMG.zip
- Place this on the root of the sd card
- Reboot in HBoot mode, the phone will detect the file and will attempt to install. Select Yes and let it proceed.
Thanks, I'll do that when I'm done in University :-D
Just so I have more opportunities in case this happens again.
Could you give me a link to a instruction how to root and s-off?
This would help
And, just in case, which do you think is the best Custom Rom for the Wildfire?
You can use Revolutionary to get S-OFF and Clockworkmod Recovery. Guide here:
http://joel5121.blogspot.com/2011/06/wildfire-22-root-tutorial.html
The only thing that has changed is AlphaRev's Website. The new address is revolutionary.io. Everything else remains the same. Although, you will need a booting device to get it to work.
Lastly, ROM choice depends on whether one would like to keep HTC Sense or not. If not, then I would go with Cyanogenmod / Oxygen (Two ROMs I am pretty sure are available for the DHD as well). And, if you would like to keep HTC Sense, then the current favorites are DK Custom ROM and RemPuzzleROM.
Complete Listing available in the Index Thread linked in my Sig.
Good Luck
I only want to flash a ROM on the Wildfire. My dhd runs on arhd and I won't change that well, unless there's a newer version of arhd
Anyways, what is the best sense ROM
for the Wildfire? Should run smooth but stable and fast. And of course it should've good battery life

I'm stuck myself. Wildfire is working again, but neither can I root nor can I make S-OFF.
On AlphaRevX it "sends in Caroline" and "Caroline" comes out with an error report
However, USB-Debugging was turned on, SD Card active, connected to pc, but "only charge"...
That far for S-Off...
Then I'm trying unrevoked. Works so far, until the Wildifre is in the bootloader. Unrevoked tells me, it's waiting for bootloader. When I choose Fastboot on the device, unrevoked works on and tells me "Waiting for HBOOT to be ready..."
Nothing happens after that. If I choose Bootloader on the device, unrevoked tells me, that it has lost connection to the phone.
Then I tried Gingerbreak. Gingerbreak works, reboots the phone, I check for SU and can't find it. So I guess it's not rooted then :-/
Any suggestions?
Your only (free) option is Revolutionary on Wildfire's with official 2.2.1 and HBoot 1.01.x. Any other method (Unrevoked, Gingerbreak, SuperOneClick etc) will not work and will result in failure. Errors on Revolutionary can usually be treated EXCEPT when it says "Not writing bad block at mtd 0x00000", in which case, there are bad blocks on the NAND memory, and there is no fix yet.
The paid option is to find a store with an XTC Clip hardware box, which can S-OFF the Wildfire as well. They will charge you a 1-time fee for using it.

So since this is exactly the fault that is displayed, there is nothing I can do...
But this other tool for s-off ain't working either. If I'd have at least s-off...in this tutorials I first make s-off and afterwards there is a zip archive which will give me SU. Can I install cwm without Root? I'd really like to flash cyanogen...

No, unfortunately, as I stated in my previous post, you cannot.
The best option will be revolutionary but solve ur first problem and then move on to this...we r always here....

Hi
I am trying to get my friends recently purchased Magic firing on all 4 cylinders.
The handset is 32b, rooted, has recovery and the rom is android 1.6.
Main problems are:
1. When i try to install a different rom I get an error message "E/can't open/update.zip. I have tried a couple of roms but get the same error and I have named them "update" not "update.zip.zip"!
2. I cant get the phone recognised on 3 diffrent PC's, each time I just get USB devoce not recognised. ive looked in Device Mnager and it doesnt even show up there.
Can anyone help with these problems and can anyone recommend and link a good rom.
many thanks

If you decide that methods too risky, post your fastboot info so others can advise.

OK, update.
Although the phone is S-off I dont think it is rooted. If I go into terminal it is showing that the phone is not rooted. Also when I try to install RomManager it tells me that the phone isn't rooted.
This is where the problems really start. As I can't get my PC to recognise the phone I am now stuck!

The link I gave above is for someone who can't access their pc due to a fault on their phone(or they are lazy like me), so a pc isn't required for what you need to do.
I noticed the download links may be missing so for starters heres another link to sort out the root.

or google search universal androot, which I can confirm works on froyo 2.2 - I've just unrooted and then rooted my 32b to test it.

thanks for your rply bro
I downloaded RUU, as instructed at htcdev.com
but that always gives an error 102, battery is less then 30%
though my battery is fully charges
unable to unlock my bootloader
You need to downgrade your device.
When you download AAHK, there is a manual inside it (the 'effin manual). Read it without skipping anything.
Inside the manual you can find instructions on downgrading your device. You need to do so before you can root on 2.3.5
If you are having problems booting your phone now, go back to stock ROM by doing the following:
Go into HBoot, then into fastboot.
Connect your DHD to your PC via USB.
Wait for the PC to recognize it.
Download this RUU: http://www.filefactory.com/file/cf9...60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.exe
Run it as administrator and follow instructions
hi can you complete this step?
when my htc desire got into soft brick while I was trying to root, attn1 gave me this very same instruction so I got my phone running again on stock
I want to learn this in case my phone got stuck again at the HTC logo (after flashing the radio)
1. go to HBOOT
2. go to fast boot
3. plug device into computer and make sure it read FASTBOOT USB
then he told me something to run cmd prompt as admin and
adb something something, then asked the directory was where I put my PD98IMG (which was on my desktop)
sorry I can no longer remember so I am asking for your help.
can you complete the steps above so I can try rooting again. I know that If I get stuck I can push the stock rom again
I really want to root my device.
Maybe try what is written in this post: h t t p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396253 (Sorry, cant post links properly yet.)
This has all of the instructions for being stuck at the hboot screen.
