As Amon Ra put it:
"The following instructions :
will void all warranties of your phone!
will erase all your userdata!
will change your current ROM/SPL!
will change your current splash screen!
could brick your phone!
Proceed at your own risk!"
So I've taken the guide that I used to root my myTouch 1.2 with T-Mobile, updated some of the information, and added some explanations. All thanks is owed to The Unlockr for the guide, I'm merely going to attempt to explain what your actually doing in the process and just try make the whole ordeal easier. If I would have known what i was actually doing, it would have taken me 45 minutes to root my phone, vice the good 7-8 hours I put into it. I am by no means an expert on rooting, so feel free to critique what I put in here, and I'll make adjustments as needed.
What's unique about the myTouch 1.2 and the Fender edition is that both phone's have a "perfected" SPL, that does not allow for fastboot access via USB. This means that you can't push any command prompt commands to the phone from your computer, which is what you have to do to get the phone rooted. With these instructions, you'll flash a "non-perfected" SPL onto your phone, load up a custom recovery (which is how you will load up ROM's and do a few other things in the future), and then reflash the phones original "perfected" SPL. Without the original SPL, your phone will not function correctly.
I would suggest opening all the links before continuing so you won't have to wait for the downloads to start as your going. Make sure you remember which link is which tab!!!
From The Unlockr:
I. Setup ABD/Create a Goldcard
Follow this procedure completely to create a working goldcard, then return to this procedure and continue:
How to Create a Goldcard
Follow these instructions without fail. If anything get's messed up here then you won't be able to flash a new SPL and you'll have to attempt to remake the Goldcard again. If you attempt to load the sappimg without using the Goldcard or without a properly done Goldcard, you will get either "Incorrect model ID" or "Main Version is Older". The Goldcard basically tricks the phone into not checking these two parameters, which is what let's you get the "unperfected" SPL on to your phone. ADB is the program that allows you to have a command prompt interface from your computer to your phone.
Note for Windows Vista and Windows 7 users: When your setting up your phones drivers during the ADB setup process, be sure to allow Windows Update to check for drivers. It will allow your computer to automatically install the drivers vice having to manually install them yourself. The option to turn it on should come up when Windows gives the notification that it was unable to install drivers for your device
II. Flash the Sappimg file
1. Download the Sappimg File and save it to your newly created goldcard (NOT in any folders, just on the Goldcard itself).
sappimg.zip
2. Once the sappimg.zip file is on your goldcard, turn off the phone and put your Goldcard SD into your phone. Then turn it back on by holding down Volume Down and Power. It should boot into bootloader mode and automatically find the sappimg file and ask you to push the trackball to begin the update. Push the trackball and let it update.
*If it tells you Error – Wrong Model ID or anything similar, the goldcard was not created correctly, go back to that procedure and try again.
Here your loading an Engineering SPL, so that we'll be able to get access to the phone via Fastboot USB and load up your new recovery. Be patient once you turn your phone back on, as it will unzip the file, then check the contents. If you get an error, you've got a problem with your Goldcard and need to redo it.
3. Once it finishes flashing press the "Send" button to reboot and you will notice your touchscreen does not work (don’t panic). Turn off the phone, then turn it back on by holding down Back and Power (to get into fastboot mode).
4. Download these two files and save them into C:\AndroidSDK\Tools folder you setup during the ADB setup procedure:
Stock MyTouch SPL
and Radio
5. Then download the Custom Recovery Image and save it to the C:\AndroidSDK\Tools folder you setup during the ADB setup procedure as well:
Amon Ra’s Recovery
6. Now that you have the recovery, spl and radio all saved in the tools folder of the Android SDK (same folder as the adb program), plug in your phone (while in fastboot mode from step 3).
7. Open the command prompt on your computer and type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:
cd\
cd AndroidSDK\tools
fastboot devices
A serial number should come up, indicating that your computer can see the phone in fastboot mode. If so continue by typing in the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot.nb0 (the 0 at the end of this line is a zero not an oh).
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
8. Once the phone starts to turn back on begin holding home and power (do not let go until you see the recovery mode) to boot into recovery mode.
This could take a while. I believe the first time I tried to get in I had to hold them down for ~1 minute before getting in. You should see the HTC Magic splash screen pop up first. There is a guide to changing out the splash screen (which is just a picture) within these forums but I'll leave it to you guys to search for it.
9. You should end up in Amon Ra’s recovery mode.
10. At this point, you want to plug your ORIGINAL SD card into your computer and copy the "DCIM" and "Music" folders (if you have them) over to your computer to backup your pictures/video/music. Then take the Goldcard out of your phone and put your ORIGINAL SD back in.
11. With your phone connected via USB to your computer and in Amon Ra's Recovery, highlight USB MS and press the trackball. This should mount your SD card to your computer so that you can move files to it.
12. Download these three .zip files:
Cyanogen 6.1
Google Apps
614 MHz OC/UV Kernel
You need the OC kernel because there's a known issue with CM 6.1 having a green tint without flashing a new kernel.
13. Copy those three files over to your phone's SD within Windows, "Safely remove hardware" in Windows, then disable USB MS by pressing the Home button. Back out to the main screen.
14. In the recovery select "Wipe" and you want to wipe "data/factory reset" then "Davik-cache".
15. Back out to the main menu and select "Flash zip from sdcard". First you want to select " update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip" and hit Home to confirm. Once complete, select "Flash zip from sdcard" and this time select "gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed.zip" and hit Home to confirm. Once complete, one again select "Flash zip from sdcard" and this time select "oc614-cm-2.6.34.1-6.0.0rc2-signed.zip" and hit Home to confirm.
16. Back at the main screen select "Reboot system now". This will load your phone back up as normal and you should now have a working rooted phone with the Cyanogen 6.1 ROM! Jump in there and check it out.
If you want to try out a different ROM, check this thread out. Go to the section called "MT3G 1.2 / LE Fender".
Thanks to Amon Ra for his recovery images!

This process chops your sd card storage up to allow for swap data to be stored on the first part, apps to be stored in the ext part, and everything else will be stored in what's left.
12. Back in "Partition sdcard" select "SD:ext2 to ext3".

thanks, just purchased a MT3G 1.2 and this guide helped. I don't even care that you basically copied it off of unlockr.
Glad it helped. Yes it is pretty much jacked from Unlockr, but like I said in my first paragraph, I was just trying to break things down a little bit and updated the recovery image and also put a better (IMO) ROM that the stock Fender one they were using. The Unlockr has actually updated their guide using some of my stuff.
step 8?
ive made it to step 8. after the phone reboots I hold down the home and power button as directed and nothing happens. Im just stuck at the HTC Magic screen. I held it down for 3 minutes on a few different occasions and still get nothing. So i havent made it into the recovery menu. any suggestions?
jim
Just to confirm, you do have the 3.5mm Jack at the top of your mytouch, correct? What does your phone show when you boot into fastboot (back+power)?
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
Yes, my phone does have the 3.5mm Jack on top. Fastboot screen says
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Jun 2 2009, 17:27:03
Did all the commands work from step 7? Your still on the engineering SPL and by step 8 you should be back to the original SPL.
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
step 7 went fine. the last command "fastboot reboot-bootloader" said done and the phone restarted (still plugged into the computer). I held down the home button and power button in step 8 but the phone never goes past the HTC Magic screen. thanks for the quick reply.
Jim
You've got to be missing something if your showing the information you posted in fastboot. When you entered the commands on the computer, did you see a loading bar pop up on the upper right-hand corner on your phone screen?
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
I don't mean to sound like a big doofus, I read your post.
It looks to be extremely thorough.
I have already bricked 1 MYT3G following instructions from unlokr(although it was a couple of months ago), so don't blast me too much, but is this for the MYT3G that has the 3.5 headphone jack?
Yes it it for the one with the 3.5mm Jack, as stated in the thread heading.
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
Wow, Completely missed that. Now you can call me a doofus.....
Thanks, I will attempt to do this tonite and see what happens.
I saw the loading bar in the upper right of my screen in step 2 with the sappimg but thats it. Should I start over and try again? What is incorrect with the info from my fastboot? what should i be looking for it to say? thanks again DonJuan.

aksoutherland - this is for the mytouch with the 3.5mm jack on top

The information your seeing now in fastboot is what you flashed with the sappimg.zip. You needed to get that on there so that you could flash your custom recovery (Amon Ra's) which will let you flash ROM's later on. What you were doing in Step 7 was reflashing the stock radio/hboot, without these, the phone will not work. Looking at your fastboot information now tells me that you either skipped the part where you reflashed the radio/hboot, or it didn't work. Did you unzip the AndroidSDK.zip to C:\AndroidSDK\? Did you copy the recovery.img, radio.img, and hboot.nb0 to your android SDK tools folder?
ok i understand a little more now. but i did extract the androidsdk.zip and moved the radio, hboot, and recovery all to the tools folder in androidsdk. maybe one of the files is corrupt? would it make a difference if the phone wasnt plugged to get into recovery mode? Im going to try again tonight after work. thanks
Last night I flashed without issue. Thank you very much for the howto - it worked perfect. Am now running CM6-RC2 and really happy with it.

LOL, it would go something like this:
1. Tightly grab bricked myTouch.
2. Find either a building that's 3 stories or more higher, or a very deep body or water.
3. Throw phone off of building/into water.
4. Buy a new one off eBay or make a claim against your phone insurance.
ok so ive managed to make it to step 17. when i try to flash cm 5.0.8 the phone tells me unable to open the .zip. Im a bit further than i was before and almost to the end actually. any guess why it wont open the zip?
Was the ZIP downloaded right? Check it on your computer.
Finally S-Off. Thanks to alpharev (generous donation on its way)
Now first problem;
I am the least tech savvy guy on the planet. If not, around London
As you see, the problem is me. So I need a genuine idiot proof step by step guide.
Can someone recap everything in a simple way please?
Backup, root, overclock etc...
Anyone who helps will receive a guaranteed prayer from a religion of their choice
download eclair rom from shipped roms, install it, then download unrevoked, root with it and youll get custom recovery also with unrevoked, after that follow some other guides how to properly flash a custom rom thru that recovery.
(before the rooting part, install htc sync to get all the needed drivers. WARNING: before using unrevoked to root the device, uninstall just htc sync but everything else that was installed with it - leave it installed. btw im atheist )

i didnt do any backups xD, i just soffed, installed 2.1 wwe ruu, rooted with unrevoked and flashed cm7
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using Tapatalk
The phone is not rooted. ROMs are rooted. You can very well follow that guide, but, I used Fastboot to install ClockWorkMod Recovery (Which is having all those options you are listing - ie Nandroid, Install ZIP From SDCard etc).
The Fastboot method needs just one command to install Clockworkmod Recovery, but needs to have Android SDK installed. If you are willing to do that:
- Download Android SDK - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
- Download ClockworkMod Recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1014498
- Extract the Recovery.img file from the 2nd link, and place it in your SDK Setup Path / Tools (eg: C:/android-sdk-windows/tools)
- Open a Command Window (cmd)
- Browse to the tools folder in this Command Window
- Type the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- It will install ClockworkMod Recovery, you are done.
Then, simply follow Part 3 of this guide to install Custom ROMs and Stuff:

long winded way of doing it
we need a step by step with pics or at least a video on youtube, theres nothing there at teh moment.
Once you have S-OFF follow these steps:
1. Get fastboot.exe, CWM and the su binary from the attachment below, make sure you extract the archives.
2. Download Android SDK from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2. Install SDK to C:/, place fastboot.exe and the recovery.img in android-sdk/platform-tools
3. Shut down phone, get into bootloader (volume down + power button)
4. Select FASTBOOT using volume keys, press power button (you are now in fastboot mode)
5. Connect phone to computer, select disk drive.
6. Open cmd, type cd C:/android-sdk/platform-tools
7. now type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.2-j_r0dd_mod-buzz.img" (no quotes)
8. Now you should have Clockworkmod installed, but still no root so:
9. Copy su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed to sdcard.
10. Get into bootloader again, select recovery.
11. Select "install zip from sdcard", confirm with trackball.
12. Scroll down to su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed, confirm the install, now you are rooted!
13. Do a nandroid backup from clockworkmod.
14. Repeat steps 9-12 but use the ZIP of ROMs, Kernels or Radio if you wish. Wipe all data before installing a fresh rom (ty calyxim ^^)
Complete list for ROMs/Kernels/Radio here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318
I hope this is clear enough?
Thanks mate. Worked wonders. In what religion would you like your prayers?
I would like to make an addition to step 14; Wipe all data before installing a fresh rom
This is the most idiot proof way i could find, and that i could use lol..... big props to Nejc121

FirsT: Copy this to the root of your SD card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=548407&d=1300751790
Second: Go into HBOOT and click yes when it asks you to update (note: Please make sure your SD card is FAT32 and not FAT, it must be FAT32 for this step to work.
Third: Remove the img file from your sd card and add this file: http://bit.ly/su2361ef
Fourth: Go into HBOOT and click Recovery!
Fifth: Click install zip from sdcard (or some thing like that)
Sixth: Click choose zip from sdcard
Seventh Locate your zip and let it update
AND YOU'RE DONE!
Have fun being free!
If you're having problems with the HBOOT not detecting the .zip update, please check if you SD card is FAT32.

how do I get in to HBoot, when I press vol down and power nothing else happens beside to lock the phone and go to vibra mode
Make sure it's vol-, because the phone vibrates if you're holding vol+ and power...
7. now type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.2-j_r0dd_mod-buzz.img" (no quotes)
when I write that in to cmd and press enter is wrtitten "waiting for device" for long time
When i do that i have phone still in hboot usb plug
Should I reboot and write in normal phone mode or .....?????
Try renaming 'recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.2-j_r0dd_mod-buzz.img' to 'recovery.img'. I had to do this in Linux, but worked fine after.

installing and uninstalling htc sync helps. just to extract drivers I suppose...
Clockwork mod doesn't work properly for me. Whenever I select any option the menu disappears and the background just sits there. I can click really fast and it will just reappear and disappear rapidly.
Fix?

That wait is normal if it below 2-3 min. But if it takes longer u should check the drivers.
That wait generally occurs if u connect the device after entering the command (happens to me everytime). If it is so, shouldn't disconnect the device and wait for a while till it detects.
If it is not so and wait is longer, then go for reinstalling the drivers.

This occurs when pressing vol down + power on a full booted phone.
U should not do this. Switch off the device and then hold vol down + power. There goes into hboot mode. And for that recovery installation u should go into fastboot mode though from there.
as it was now clear, the waiting shouldn't be there now. Enter fastboot mode and try it

You might have noticed that some STOCK roms to not return your S-OFF device to S-ON. This might be necesairy to return your device for repairs.
How to S-on Wildfire/Buzz after revolutionary;
-Download STOCK rom from http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz
-Flash the stock rom you downloaded.
-Flash completely and boot to rom
-Turn off the device and boot into bootloader (vol-down + Power)
Note that after flashing the bootloader still says REVOLUTIONAIRY and S-OFF.
You can turn of your phone for now, make sure its sufficiently charged.
-Download the ZIP file.
-Extract zip file.
-Open an elivated command prompt (winkey, type CMD, press (ctrl+shift+enter)).
-Navigate to buzz folder.
Now you're ready to flash the original Hboot Note that this may brick your device, if you do not understand the instructions or don't have similar results, don't continue.
-Boot your phone into bootloader (vol-down + Power)
-In the command window, type:
Code:
fastboot devices <press enter>
You should should get a response that says List of devices attached.
Make sure the next line has a serial number with device listed after that.
If you don’t see your device attached then something is wrong and you should not proceed.
-If your device matches the device showed in the console window, proceed
-type:
Code:
fastboot oem mb 9C068490 1 30 <press enter>
The console window should return: OKAY.
If it returns FAILED, do not proceed, I'm sorry but this methode does not work for you.
-If the previous command returned OKAY, proceed and type:
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hbootbuzz.nb0 <press enter>
If it fails to flash HBOOT, you're phone might be bricked (note that if it has not begun flashing, nothing is wrong).
If it does flash correctly, use the volume rocker to select reboot bootloader to check S-ON.
-Flash the STOCK rom again to just to make sure.
THANKS IF IT WORKED FOR YOU!
I don't take credit, nor responsability for this methode. I nicked the hbootbuzz.nb0 file from somewhere on the innernets (cant remember where). Paul1989 has a similar methode which uses JAVA, which I do not have, so I improvised using some topics on droidforums.net and others to bunch up this methode for us simple people.
Enjoy S-ON. S-OFF can be reaccuired using the methode in this forum.

Should be back up soon. The site going down for a while is pretty normal. I have seen it quite a lot. So, don't worry.

Back up your device information before you begin to your PC, Google Drive, etc. so that you may continue without risk of losing it. This is necessary because some devices will factory reset when you select "Yes" to unlock the bootloader.
Step 1: HTC Sync Manager
http://www.htc.com/in/support/softwar...
Step 2: Install ADB Fastboot
https://www.dropbox.com/s/aa8ri8uxyhh...
Step 3: Unlock Bootloader
http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader
Step 4: CWM Auto-Install via ADB Fastboot / Bootloader
(VIEW [NEW UPDATE] AT BOTTOM OF DESCRIPTION AS WELL!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb...
Step 5: SuperSU .zip file for Internal Storage
http://download.chainfire.eu/452/Supe...
[NEW UPDATE]:
IF YOU RECEIVE AN EXCLAMATION MARK ON THE RECOVERY SCREEN AFTER RUNNING THE .EXE AT 18:24 IN THE VIDEO THEN IT IS BECAUSE YOU NEED TO FLASH AN OLDER CLOCKWORKMOD FIRST!
POWER OFF YOUR DEVICE BY HOLDING VOLUME UP + POWER BUTTON FOR 15 SECONDS IF YOUR STUCK AND THEN POWER ON BY HOLDING VOLUME DOWN+POWER BUTTON AND YOU'LL GO BACK INTO THE BOOTLOADER.
DO AS YOU SEE FROM 11:40-12:03.
ONCE YOUR DEVICE IS SET IN THAT MODE DOWNLOAD THIS FILE BELOW:
https://s.basketbuild.com/dl/devs?dl=...
NOW SAVE THAT FILE WHERE THE ADB FOLDER IS THAT YOU INSTALLED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO IN (Local Disk C:/adb)
ONCE THAT'S COMPLETE GO INTO THAT FOLDER AND RIGHT-CLICK IN ANY WHITE AREA OF THE FOLDER AND PRESS "RUN COMMAND LINE HERE" & RUN THE FOLLOWING COMMAND:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
REBOOT TO RECOVERY NOW AND IT WILL WORK!
NOW YOU CAN RUN THE .EXE FROM STEP 4 IN FASTBOOT MODE FOR THE LATEST VERSION!
Done!
This is a guide on how to Root your HTC Desire 816 and during this process you will add a Custom Recovery and Unlock your Bootloader! (Sorry; no S-Off at this time).
This will also allow you to enable moving apps and such to your SD card if you add specific properties to the build.prop file or by flashing a Kernel that's write-enabled. I will make a separate video to cover this as well when I have an SD available.
Really nice of you to make this and all, but this already exists. In fact all you did was take a previous tutorial and make it carrier specific, even though THIS clearly states all of this, and works on the Virgin Mobile version. However the video was a great addition (assuming you made it).
And most of your links are broken.
Checked and all links in the video have been updated and so has the .exe for the recovery.

How To Unlock Bootloader On htc One X10-
Step 1: Go to htcdev.com/bootloader, make sure you’re registered with HTC. Once the process of signing up is complete, log into HTC Dev. Also, make sure HTC Sync Manager is installed on your PC.
Step 2: Select your device from the Unlock Bootloader page. Select the “All Other Supported Models” as shown in the screenshot below. Click “Begin Unlock Bootloader” and confirm all dialogue boxes on screen that are presented to you.
Step 3: Now, you’re going to be presented with a series of four steps to put your device in bootloader mode: Disconnect the device from PC, turn it off completely, press and hold Volume Down button and the Power button to start the device in Bootloader mode.
Step 4: Once you’re into the bootloader mode, use the device’s volume keys to select the Fastboot option and press power button to confirm. At this point, you’ll need to connect your HTC One to your computer via USB cable.
Step 5: Now on your PC, go to fastboot folder, hold down your keyboard’s shift key and click on any empty space and then click on “Open command window here.”
Step 6: Type in fastboot devices in the command prompt window and press enter. If your drivers are installed correctly, then your HTC One should show up in the command prompt.
