Anyone able to flash a working US/ATT 3G rom

Has anyone been succesfuly at flashing a working US/ATT 3G rom on these released Euro HTC Touch Pro's coming out this week? or do we know if that is not possible because of the hardware? Thanks for helping out a newbie that's anxious to lose a Moto Q9h and pickup an ATT 3G compatible Touch Pro (not willing to buy the crippled ATT Fuze).

THIS QUESTION GETS ASKED 5 TIMES A DAY IT SEEMS. IF YOU HAD USED THE SEARCH FUNCTION YOU WOULD FIND ABOUT 50 RESULTS TELLING YOU THE SAME THING. WHEN IT IS DONE, YOU WILL KNOW ABOUT IT. PAY ATTENTION TO THE HARDSPL THREAD IN RAPHAEL ROM DEVELOPMENT, UNTIL HARDSPL IS OUT NO ONE IS GOING TO FLASH THIS ROM. USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION.
Wow, what a waste of space on this forum.

Please stop yelling at everyone for not searching. It is far more useful to simply point out that the question has been asked and answered elsewhere, and remind the users of forum policies. I only caution you because if you don't settle down you're gonna end up earning yourself a trip to bannville (note, just word of caution not an official warning as i am nobody of significance here), and you don't want to cut off your best source of information for your device

First of all, that's not even English you just spoke. Second, it's not my arrogance but my pure frustration, I can promise you I never double posted like that when I first came here (not too long ago). Having 10 threads like that floating around is going to be the end of us, as it will someday be impossible to find any useful information in the plethora of repetitiveness. I surely couldn't be a mod, deleting 10 posts just like that every day... Why do we have this google search function and stickies in every forum saying to use it, when nobody does? What a waste.

Please read the post directly above you. Two wrongs don't make a right. You can't be offensive just because you were offended by someone else. If you believe the post needs to be reported, then report it, and if you can speak respectfully then reply. If you can't be respectful then you probably should just skip over the reply, or quote buttons.

Black, Everyone is VERY excited about this device and the posibility of it being flashed with the at&t rom so the US gents can get the 3g also. We all want touch pro's with 3g in the states like you so we can all live in harmony!
Hey, did yours come with a case? Wondering what the US version will come with. I bet it will be like the at&t version of the tilt and NOT include a case. Has anyone seen the case the HTC provides? I looks like garbage! I can't even beleive that HTC would release such a great device with such a poor case.

yes...exactly...except i spell it harmony j/k lol

LOL, I did have an order on the touch pro but cancelled it. Now that all the reviews are coming in and the youtube's, my fingers are iching to hit the purchase key again! I have a good feeling about the hard spl and the at&t rom flashing. I hope it does work to enable 3g for all our sakes!

I have to agree. Although i also agree with Black. I'm actually one of those waiting for this hardspl release and a confirmation of 3g in the US and see 10 posts a day. I don't get that excited about it though :-D I just love to see so much excitement for this phone.

Everyone else, I will not put up with foul language.
We all know how frustrating double posting is. But Report it to a mod. This is not anarchy.

Original/non-rooted stock system folder from Mytouch 1.2/fender

does anyone know where I can find the original system files from the new mytouch?
non rooted-untouched system
"I have searched the forums but the only one i see is the cursordroid rooted update.zip, I want a untouched one" anyone?

Our problem is we have to root to gain acsess to that part of the system. once we gain root, all original files are gone. For right now, the closest your going to get is either the fender rom, or one of our themed roms. We are unable to get a straight dump because of the spl is comes with.
So, for the time being, the fender/1.2 rom is the only one you can get. if you want an unrooted rom.... I really dont know why your here

as i know, unfortunately, there is no way back to real unrooted, untouched

Yeah.. Believe me... I wish I would have known more about android before I discovered how to root these phones for everyone. Baicly, we will never have the correct Tmobile fender dump with splash screen. But for right now, Cursors and our themed versions are your best bet other then Stokes port in Angio's thread for "fender drivers"

So many threads!
So many 1.2/LE/Fender threads and it's making my head spin!

Anyone else thinking that this phone is different than the original MyTouch that it should deserve it's own sub-forum?
Because it's confusing everyone especially the noobs.
To keep track on all of the progress do we really need to subscribe to all of the threads that I pointed out above? Really? Then we get comments like:
" I have tried searching and just can't find it!"
... because first of all... noobs don't know what to search for. This is obvious. A noob is more likely to use the word "unlock" to try to root the device. Do we expect them to know what "Stickies" are? Probably not. But they should read the HOW-TO. Which is an encyclopedia of information. And out of laziness and intimidation they resort to just posting a new thread. Then they get flamed, feelings get hurt and we might even get a laugh out of it. I hate it just as much as everyone else but I would say that most of it could be avoided by proper organization. The half a dozen threads that I posted above should in some way be combined and labeled specifically for MyTouch FENDER devices. The difference between the MyTouch Fender and the regular MyTouch are extreme. But a noob wouldn't know that. Someone just buying an Android phone for the first time might buy a MyTouch LE. Then what? (S)he finds "How to root your MyTouch" and naturally assumes that it would work. There needs to be an easier way. Are we going to use this same sub-forum for the MyTouch Slide? Of course not! Totally different device. The only thing that is the same on this device than the original MyTouch is the look. Just about everything on the inside is totally different. This is just my opinion though.

The WILDFIRE S & CHACHA S-ON ordeal

I've posted a campaign in the wildfire S forum as many of you may have seen on the portal last week. I'm making a thread here to gather some more views on the whole thing and hopefully gather some more info. We need to join forces.
Some questions to the chacha forum members:
1. How close have any devs come to unlocking the chacha?
2. Is camera the only problem left on your CM7?
3. Has anyone tried the HTCdev method even though it's not listed?
Both of these phones are 2011 models! And now they are relegated to the legacy/low activity section of XDA just because of this stupid S-ON situation, can you believe it?
What's going on, what do you think about it?

Im proper disappointed with htc and blame them completely for the lack of development for our devices.
I think this will be the last htc i purchase.
Htc say they listen, well maybe they need to clean their damn ears out cause they obviously can't hear us.
Maybe we haven't spent enough money on a more premium device and they think we don't deserve an unlocked device for that reason alone (GREEDY).
well did they not stop to think maybe these phones were some users first experience of htc and android and that because of the whole locked bootloader fiasco many users feel let down and will move to a different manufacturer.
If i bought a new car (just as an example), would it be ok for the manufacturer to limit the speed when in fact i paid good money and should be able to run it with no restrictions, cause if im not mistaken it now belongs to ME!
my property, let me do what the hell i want with it!!!

1. No where near I think... the closest thing we have is a temproot via ramdisk - only S-OFF we can get is by the XTC Clip.
2. According to our CM7 thread here, we still have slight problems with Wi-Fi, and camera doesn't work at all.
3. I've tried the HTCDev method, but when I type fastboot oem get_identifier_token, I get a command error.

Unfortunately HTC is still not dev friendly as they are suggesting. Currently the major problem we are having with the CM build is the camera, whilst the Wi-Fi issue can be considered minor (since the major problem is the inability to connect to hidden networks).
I'm as disappointed as everyone else, member of the Wildfire S or ChaCha community, that our devices dropped into the legacy section, considering the amount of time and work I've spent here, trying to help as many users as possible.

Wow, HTC really have let us down haven't they? The problem I see is, that as soon as we find a soft method to achieve S-OFF, one or both forums will likely pop back up to the main XDA board.
Our CM7 bugs sound identical to yours. We managed to fix camera with the help of an official CM dev, you probably can check our CM7 thread to find a fix. We also have minor wifi issues.

[Q] mytouch 4g......

Hi all. I'm jumping over to this forum due to the fact my vibrant finally died on me : ( So I picked up the new mytouch, which brings me to the question....can I root and apply custom roms using the same methods as the slide...? I haven't seen anywhere about mods for this Ph I'm assuming cause its new. the new mytouch has potential and I definitely need to get rid of this horrible bloatware. Thanks in advance for any help.

you mean the htc glacier? despite the looks it's a totally different phone and you should head over to its specific forum...
or perhaps you meant the mytouch by lg... then you are out of luck afaik

Hi,
I'm a n00b. Sorry.
I'm buying my very first smartphone. I've had a nokia or samsung flipphone for the past 8 years...simple phones. just call, text etc etc...didn't even bother taking pictures, WHEN i could figure out HOW.
Anyway, so the phone is the T-MOBILE MYTOUCH 4G (WHITE) by LG.
This is the closest forum I could find...so mods/staff, PLEASE don't ban me or fine me for the questions here...
I see the above posts about rooting.
Well first I want to UNLOCK my phone so I can take it to Europe...blah blah blah. I realise that I will have to pay some stupid 10+$ fee to get the unlock code...I have til Tuesday to endlessly google on a way to do it free...before my phone arrives.
Ok, I don't know what a ROM is or what ROOTING does for me...but I assume it's good...can someone PLEASE HELP ME...and is rooting this mytouch 4g white phone by LG a good idea?
Thanks so much in advance!

i'd suggest you don't mess with stuff you don't need/don't know... there's a lot of technical stuff to know and you not knowing basically anything but wanting to unlock root and flash is the perfect recipe for some regrettable actions.
just get an unlock code for about 10 bucks and you're all set...

Thank you & I respect where you are coming from. I know I don't know anything about the Android world...I certainly didn't want an iPHONE as I don't like anything Apple...I'm a PC guy. I like to know what's going on when I'm working on a computer..NOT have it done for me Love the learning curve.
To further explain...I am assuming by rooting the phone I can upgrade the OS to the 4.0 Android system?...is that possible? From what I understand I'd only have the 2.2 that's already given...it's 2 point something IF I recall correctly.
IDEALLY, I'd have loved to have had a WebOS phone...but alas, HP farked it up and discontinued their products this past year...ah well.
So yes, still interested in rooting my phone to customise things
ALSO, since I'm getting this phone...I've read in many parts how people replace panels on the phone so they don't see the T-Mobile (for example) logo on the phone...etc etc...what do you folks suggest? What would be the best protection device for this phone? (I just found out a little while ago that UPS is delivering it 1 day early! Sometime today...so I should have it in my hands tonight when I get home from work...) I'm so excited!!

If you're looking for some high-performance ROMs, head over to RootzWiki and check out Undeadk9's work.
Sent via smoke signal.

As I come through the slyph for a quick breath of fresh air...I must report that I just finished reading the 25page manifest that you asked me to read/download...thanks for that. Was a good read.
NOW you mention ROM's...it was briefly touched upon in the PDF file...do I understand this to mean I need to use a ROM to customise the operating system?
Ok...let's do this step-by-step if you can bear with me PLEASE.
At some point I'm supposed to be getting my phone TODAY...it hasn't arrived yet, even though UPS says online that they did. After a few frustrating calls, it turns out the "loaner" driver cheated the system by saying he delivered it when he never did...
AFTER I get my phone, of course I need to get acclimated to it. Should I assume that I must UNLOCK it first by paying some 10$ fee online?...and THEN going on to ROOT the phone?
I just checked, and it turns out my phone is shipping with 2.2...these days I hear Ice Cream is the new flavour (4.0)...which is what I'd like it to get upgraded to..and from there start getting apps that I know I'll use...like an RSS feed app to find out WHEN something is available on the net...(as an example).
Look forward to hearing from you sir! Thanks again for being kind enough to respond and putting up with this n00b

Alright now I would love to help you out sir.
Let us clarify that you are purchasing the mytouch 4G by LG, not the htc mytouch 4g slide. And not the htc mytouch 4g.
I do not believe there is a very extensive development happening for the lg phone because it is a new copycat of the original mt4g. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
While the specs are rather similar, the internal workings of the phone, firmware, kernel, roms... Are most likely written completely differently.
Do not expect to be able to use anything you find in these forums. Nor the mytouch 4g (glacier) forums.
Sorry I believe you don't have a choice but to pay for the unlock code they provide. I'm not even sure you will be able to root that phone without directions made directly for that phone. Nothing in the mt4gs forums will be compatible.
You've got a chance in the glacier forums but I recommend asking around before you start messing with your lg phone, or risk bricking the phone.
Even if you are getting the lg 4g slider, its not even using the 1.2 ghz dual core processor. The specs are still closer to the mt4g either way, not the mt4gs
Edit: sadly I do not expect your phone to get an ota update for android 4.0, for a very long time if ever. Hopefully you get some luck and a community of people with your device have accumulated somewhere so that some development starts happening for you to try out newer versions of android... But when that does happen, odds are that the roms for your phone will be unstable because of the small community inevitably not having enough developers. I recommend always using the stock rom, if you want to enjoy top of the line technology, get the mt4gs, or maybe a better phone that will definitely get an official cyanogen mod 9, or is sold stock with android 4.0.
All that being said. Your purchase was not bad, spec wise. But if you are looking for aftermarket technology to make the phone 5x better, trade for a different phone.
The beauty of having an android phone is that it is open source. With aftermarket roms, you can push any phone to its limits and get the most out of what you paid for.

^ thank you for that. I'm not much into the (no offence) "geeky" side of all these ROMs and CUSTOMISATIONS...don't get me wrong...I'd love to get the most of this. I bought this phone, because it was cheap...that's the ONLY reason. I did NOT see a reason to pay hundreds upon hundreds for the current top-of-the-line phone. Just wanted a decent phone that did nice things for free or very close to it. I had been holding off for a very long time on getting a smartphone...this is my INTRO to your world. I signed a 2-year contract extension with T-Mobile.
IN the meantime, I shall be monitoring these pages and hopefully MOST of you beautiful geeks will scream "this phone is a must-have"...and THEN I'll shell out the bucks for a phone I could easily replace with what I have now.
I feel I want to spend money on a phone that will actually be GREAT for 2 years...ideally, that's when I feel personally I should upgrade to the next latest & greatest.
Yes this is the mytouch by LG...NOT the slide. It's got a black face, white back...3 "home" buttons on bottom.
MY misdelivered phone from yesterday thanks to a stupid UPS Driver, found its way into my hands this morning @ 6am while getting in my car...a great neighbour of mine knew when I left the house and walked my missing package over. So today of course I need to get jiggy with my phone and see how everything works, before I even think of UNLOCKING the phone
I shall keep you apprised and thanks again for the above information...it was VERY helpful...some of your words of course are "foreign" to me, so I'll keep asking these very "dumb" questions...i hope you all can put up with it for a bit. Til this evening after I finish my work -day...ciao.

^upon purchasing this phone I was almost as clueless as you. But the reason I chose mt4gs is that it is futureproof. 1.2 dual core processor will run android 4.0 beautifully.
Since I purchased the phone I've been on these forums checking up on things atleast once a day if not 5x a day just so I'm up to date on things. It kind of gets addicting when everyone is trying to contribute their 2 cents to make the phone the best that it could be

The op has a mytouch 4g from lg, not the slide.

[Q] Can someone port 4.2, 4.3, or 4.4 when it comes out?

I know other devices have custom ROMs that port OS updates even if they're not officially supported. Can someone do this for this phone? I'm tired of waiting for HTC, and we're already 3 updates behind.

To port from which device?
To our device is not likely to be the new kernel source code.

Is that policy just for htc? Because I saw a lot of devices has no official jb but have custom ones.

This devices have some skilled dev's who know how to do!

I know the Galaxy Nexus is getting a 4.4 ROM, even though it's not officially getting the update. Why doesn't someone do that for our phone?

@deathvoxxxx
we are lucky enough to have small handful of awesome devs that own this phone.
what they develop for us is completely up to them.
ONLY if they decide to post a 'request' thread, is it 'cool' to keep asking questions like when and why and why not?
usually the answer is
Why don't you do it yourself?
and then you say 'sheesh! I was just asking'
and then they get annoyed and lose interest in developing anything else for us, so please, please, please don't ask ridiculously unneeded questions like these. some/most devs find them rude.

So let's ask something unusual.
How complicated is it to go from Android 4.2 to Android 4.4 ? (For HTC, and for a dev? )
And compare to 4.1 to 4.2 transition, how is it ? (easier, harder?)
Is there a big change in the drivers, that require intervention from hardware manufacturer? Or is it possible to re-use the same driver from 4.2 ?
If drivers are the same, how complicated is it to go from Android source code with 4.2 drivers to a ROM ?
I'm not a developper, i don't do code. But identifying the tricky parts and requirements might be a good start. (Let's not talk about Sense for now)
Our SoC is a very common one. So Driver wouldn't be so hard to get?
Maybe HTC will follow 18months support recommendation from Google and grant us with a new update in May 2014 (18 months after nov. 2012)
Our phone was a "transition", to keep people waiting for their HTC One flagship. It also was in a tought financial period for HTC with decreasing sales. So a little consideration would be welcome...
I remember that in France, the press was talking about the ONE. They "used" the buzz in ads, calling it the HTC ONEsv (with big ONE and very little sv so you almost don't see it from the car on in the subway ... ) It is called as part of the One family, but it is a Desire family model...
