Hey Victor I did the same thing buddy!Red Vodafone screen,no touchscreen,the works!You still having problems?Go to the xda forums and look up cursordroids 1.6 ROM,Radio,and SPL/HBOOT.Then follow the directions.Make sure to extract the radio and hboot to the same folder and rename the long hboot file to just hboot.img.You’ll be set!

Victor,

Now load a custom ROM and you will get it all back.

Ryan,

Follow the rest of the procedure and continue or simply goto the How To Unroot Your MyTouch procedure and do that to undo what was done.

Unlocker, What is going on with my issue? I followed all the steps correctly, Did the test like in step one and I got a serial code. Went and continued to step two, followed those to a T, then when I went to go to cmd and typed “adb devices” nothing worked, so I re-installed the drivers and nothing.

Ceasoner,

Thanks! Will hit you up on gmail if that is ok? Don’t have a MyTouch 1.2 so some help would be appreciated. I’ll email you shortly.

@unlocker for the ones rooting a MT3G 1.2/fender you need to refer them to the sappimg used in the instructions on xda… since that is the only one that was said to work. Also make sure they boot back into fast boot and flash the stock radio and spl and amen_ra’s “G” recovery. (not “H” version cuz it wont boot) the stock radio and spl can be found on xda. if they dont flash the stock radio and spl then their touch screen will not work. this phone is a 32a hybrid and has a new touch screen and 3.5mm jack so at this time there are no custom roms that work on it. The only option you have is the “stock” fender rom with root. if you need more info on rooting a mt3g 1.2 hit me up on twitter @ceasoner.. ill try to help as much as possible.

Hi again, Just making sure before I do this but…
Can I switch to AmonRA’s new recovery image? (Carebear)
And if so, I just have to put it in the tools folder and do the fastboot ect. right?

[...] you have a MyTouch 1.2 or Fender Edition, use this procedure [...]

Captain Kirk,

THIS PROCEDURE IS FOR THE MYTOUCH, not Magic. Look for the How To Root the Magic and try again.

Captain Kirk — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 04:38:13 +0000

Oh I’m using a stock magic, 1.6, 32b. if need anything else, just ask. I’m going nuts.

By: Captain Kirk

Captain Kirk — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 04:35:37 +0000

Ok, I finished step one, the serial number came up. Then I go to step to, get down to the step were it tells your to type adb devices, and I get nothing. Now where, notta, zip… This is frustrating as heck.. Help please?

Isvaffel1200,

Do the procedure for the HTC Magic on our site, instead of the MyTouch.

hi guys, i have experience with rooting the G1 and so i decided i wanted to root my mytouch 3g v1.0(no 3.5mm jack) it has a 32B board and has the .ooo7 SPL which is not on the list of “perfeted SPLs” over at xda, but the error i get when i fastboot seems to mean that it is perfected. the mytouch is running 1.6(donut) and using the sappimg.nbh does not work(main version older error) so i have been trying the goldcard method. i have tried several sd cards, even one that has been a goldcard before and now it is not working. so far i have tried a no name 2GB sd card, a lexar 2GB card, a 4GB PNY card, and an 8GB no name card, i’m not surprised the no name cards don’t work, but the lexar card has been used as a goldcard before and so it should work now, the PNY is relatively new and i don’t see why it won’t work. i don’t want to go out and buy yet another card but it seems that i have to. please let me know if there is anything else i can try

FiascoBerry,

Yes it is. But the goldcard method you are looking at SHOULD work (and cant hurt), its the one click method on our site that will most likely not work for you 3.5mm myTouch.

By: FiascoBerry

FiascoBerry — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 22:04:02 +0000

I have a mytouch 3g…with the 3.5mm headjack..is that device any different from a regular mytouch?

By: TheUnlockr

TheUnlockr — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 10:45:06 +0000

FiascoBerry,

Incorrect Model ID means the goldcard did not work.
You need to replace the first two characters not digits. See how I do it in the video and in the procedure.

First though can I ask, do you have a MyTouch? Or a Magic?

By: FiascoBerry

FiascoBerry — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 10:02:27 +0000

I got up to the insert gold card portion and afterwards the phone told me the update failed due to an incorrect MODEL ID…

Also with the special code a had to reverse…the code started with fr and then proceeded with digits, should i have replaced the “fr” with 00 or the digits that came after?

Jason,

You are supposed to use the Vodafone image. But you need to flash a custom recovery afterwards and then you can load a new ROM (and get rid of the Vodafone image that way).
Just follow the directions it tells you.

By: Jason

Jason — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 12:26:06 +0000

Okay, just making sure.. I messed up on the Recovery image, it took me to a vodafone image and then it went into the default recovery.. so do I have to reformat my SD card again to load a new recovery image? or can I just do it right away?

By: Chris

Chris — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 03:35:04 +0000

I need a copy of the sappimg.zip file if anyone can email it to me. the link isn’t letting me download it.

thanks
