My MT3G will be here next week, I Was hoping to get a list of peoples issues, problems, since rooting your HTC Magic/MyTouch 3G and what they did to fix it or not:
if you follow all the directions correctly, there really is no downside... its just as convenient as rooting the G1, just a lot harder due to the perfected spl and having to use the goldcard method... cyanogens ROM is what i would recommend for a regular mytouch ROM, only downside from that ROM that I could detect is that the LED doesn't turn on when the device is charging, which i'm sure is a minor fix...
i'm currently running qteknology's hero ROM and it runs decently, a little lag here and there but definitely the fastest hero ROM that i've tried on the mytouch to date... the only downside with this ROM so far is that the version that utilizes compache does not have working wifi
which cyanogens ROM do you recommend for MyTouch? The ONE ROM rule all (experimental one?) or the stable cyanogen one? I'm a bit confused in term of MyTouch, can it use G1 ROM or it has to be a Sapphire specific ROM?

typically if you flash a G1 rom onto a Mytouch/Magic it wont work unless you do some modifications to the rom, then flash it. But with "Cyan's ONE ROM rule all" it works on both G1 or Magic/Mytouch with 32B board. I'm currently running his experimental rom and it's working great on my Mytouch.
Start asking your questions in the right sub-forum (Q&A) (Theme) or even in (General), or i will be forced to ban you for 3 days or till you learn.
Thanks

Hi, I rooted my mytouch 3g and installed a hero rom. However, it seems the hardware isn't up to par with the hero software and it seems a bit laggy. Anyway, I read somewhere that Jesusfreke roms are considered the most "stable." If I can install it, which ones can I use?
Also, if you think theres a better "stable" cupcake rom, please tell me! Thanks!!
I haven't seen Jesusfreke rom that are compatible with the myTouch but cyanogen is good too, check out his rom and check out the themes in the dream section.
Want something as fast and stable as the JF.
Flash this ROM and PM me feedback.
It's not release yet, but 2-3 days it will be.
This is the same type of ROM as found in my thread at ...

I'm sure you'll be happy with this.

(Was a time limit on that link , so if you got it... you did, PM me with feedback)

Hey a.kim,
This ROM is aimed at using the Official T-Mobile binary release of the framework and apps, but with all the features a root user would typically want. (Pretty much like a JF build, but with some more built-in features)
For more info you could visit my thread in the Dream section ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538456
Essentially I have a new version v1.6.x that is on the brink of release that can run on the dream and sapphire (32B) hardware.
I've been giving out the pre-release version to those you desire.
If you are interested, you can PM me and I'll send you the link. Otherwise the official release will be in a day or two now.

I've been using various Cyanogen and Hero ROMs since June and have now reverted back to the stock Vodafone UK ROM. In general the stock stuff is fine, it's quick and bluetooth audio works for phone and media. I need root access though to use Bluex for bluetooth file send/receive and pushing the HTC_IME keyboard
What I'd like to know is does anyone know how to root the new Donut release?
I've tried the Haykuro's rootmesigned but get a FC and constant reboot...it was worth a try
there is already a full solution for you.

I used it on mine and works perfectly, no flaws. Install that and you are done.
yeah there is a way. but im not going to answer because this is in the wrong section. read the stickies up top, search around, then post in the right section and maybe you will get more answers.

Aw gee thanks...NOT
If you don't have anything contructive to add then don't.
I spent hours searching and read through countless threads. For your info I have been installing ROMS since they came out in May (before the Wiki was in place), have contributed and would you believe it I have even been thanked for my help, I am comfortable with using ADB, Fastboot etc, am familiar with linux and have read the stickies.
Is asking about a rooted ROM not developement? Have YOU read the stickies because from what I have read, surprise surprise, in this section there is a sticky up above here about hacking and rooting. As far as I'm aware any developement focused questions would be posted in the developement section not general.
If I'm wrong them I'm quite happy to follow the MODS rules and their directions.
Are you going to repeat your post with questions about OTA updates being in the wrong section too?
P.S. the very helpful 'htcmagic' had already spoiled it for you
@BigRD: no problem mate, glad i could help. I installed the rom above and i am extremely happy with it. I have also installed busybox on it too.
Its much faster that vodafones original.
Hey mate, try Amon_Ra's Donut Rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538645
Very fast and stable with Root and others. I'm using it on my vodafone magic. Works really nice.
Or alternatively just go back to Cyanogen. Its Donut and it has more features than any other rom on this site so...its all up to you
@widezu69 & @htcmagic Cool, thanks guys.
I spent a lot of time with Cyanogen's ROMs up until the Google thing happened and was running eViL's Hero ROMs up to v3.0. I wanted to get back to a smoothish stock ROM issued by my network supplier but rooted by one of the great developers on XDA. I keep finding that other than the Vodafone original and the Google ION ROM bluetooth audio for phone and multi media working at the same time is very hit or miss. Am going to give both versions posted here a try over the next few days
Another one who wants a Rooted Vodafone Donut
I am also searching for a method to root a stock Vodafone Magic 32B that has had an OTA Donut update.
The answers on the thread so far involve flashing a new Donut Rom - my issue is that I have Donut already, and have never rooted - I am assuming the Root instructions included in the Wiki and Relentless Rooter are only aimed at Cupcake.....or am I wrong?
Any help/advice appreciated....
rooting the magic 1.6
Hi folks, dito as above. I've been up half the night trying to work this out. Have recently bought an htc magic from vodafone, and been 'updated' to doughnut 1.6. Not bad, but I'm really keen to get root on this, and eventually install the latest rom from cyanogen...
Seems there are now a few issues for people like me wanting to root their handsets... so far I've managed to erase my user settings, but keep getting errors trying to flash a rom. Followed the link above to nk02's thread, and no luck. Same issue, update aborts. There must be an easier way...
nk02 says his ROM works with 'wipe + flash'. How the heck do I do that? Seems this latest update to 1.6 has made all the other methods of gaining root obsolete... I'm far from a linux novice, and would love some advice here. And please don't tell me to keep searching, solid help would be appreciated. Cheers.
What is the best rom currently running off the 2.1 software? I am fairly new to modding my mytouch 3g if you can't tell, I've got the latest CM build, latest radio, and am currently researching SPLS(Best SPl download and how to apply would also be a fun thing to add to your help)
From: Rom Devs read this before posting!
Please categorize your question accordingly, Anaylize which forum to post it
Development forum is only for development of phone OS related stuff
Q- Which ROM is best for me/ Which ROM is the best for 32A/B?
A- Take some time on the forums, look at the ROMs available for your device and individually assess what works for you by reading the various issues affecting them and make a decision. If that still doesn't work out for you, hey, that's what makes XDA great, try a different one and so on, till you find one that YOU'RE happy with. It's very subjective since what my needs are could be totally different from what yours are.
Thanks for the reply. To run a 2.1 ROM you need Danger SPL, which is supposed to be 1.33.2005, yet mI have the Hboot. How do I get the latest Danger SPL? I have the 2.22.23.02 radio, and the latest CM build currently. I'd like one with all the features of 2.1 without any problems in the wifi/bluetooth/camera/sms and mms areas.
Don't install the Danger SPL, that is for the G1. Get haykuro's SPL (the one in my signature), it works with all roms.
The instructions here are the ones I used:
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting
I followed a guide and installed it onto my phone perfectly(At least from the fact I see1.33.2005 in the Hboot section of my fastboot screen), all I need now is to find a good 2.1 rom and I'll be set.
Hi, been scanning the 'general' threads for a while, but didn't see an answer for this (maybe because it's obvious, idk )
Anyway, should a MT3G 1.0 owner (first gen MT3G) flash ROMS from the MT3G forum or the G1 forum? I know it has to be a ROM for 32b, but beyond that - is there any advantage/disadvantage? Or are all ROMS for the first gen MT and the G1 the same?
I've been flashing from G1 forums, and have been happy with the roms, but am just wondering if I should be taking them from the MT3G forum, i.e. if there's any difference/benefit...still a noob, and trying to figure things out. Thanks for any insight!
Honestly the Sapphire forum was around long before the MT3G. I see a lot of people in the G1 forum making their roms compatible with G1/32B (32B Means mytouch3g) So go there if you can. Check out cyan 2.1!

99% of ROMs for the G1 is compatible with the original mytouch. Also sapphire ROMs/32B Magic ROMs are compatible also.
If you want an Android 2.1 ROM that has a great dev and is fully working then check out the latest Cyanogen. The ROMs title is in my sig.
Thanks guys for the tips. I figured as much, about the g1 and original mytouch roms being good for both devices, but just wanted to put it out there out of curiosity. And thanks for the cyanogen tip too - thinking about trying it, but tbh I'm addicted to sense ui. I just think it looks so much nicer than stock android, so I've been sticking to sense roms only...but sounds like cyanogen is the stock rom to go with if I change my mind!
I have the mytouch3g from tmobile pvt 32b and I just did the one touch root app. Does anyone have a rom that is easy to install? Does require a bunch of crap to do?
The most complicated ROM to install on a MT3G are 'legal' ones (i.e: SuperD & Cyan) which are 2 steps instead of 1.
Personally I recommend SuperD 1.11 or TheOfficial ROMs for you, you can find them over in the G1/Dream forum (most 32B development goes on over there, the MT3G/HTC Magic forum is mainly for 32A)
edit: Actually some ports are more complicated since you have to set up SWAP but the ports aren't very good imho.
