Yeah we need more info.
What kind of SPL and radio does he have?
The new MyTouch with the headset jack is a hybrid of sorts of the 32A and 32B. It's basically a 32B with the memory of a 32A if I'm not mistaken.
He has the newer one with the 3.5mm jack. It is not rooted yet, so all stock T-Mobile.

I convinced my own mother to get an Android device for Sprint.
I told her to check out the Hero.
She did and she bought it.
About an hour later she called me up:
"I got it",
"Got what ma?",
"That phone you suggested... the Droid."
"(palm face) IT'S NOT THE F&#KING DROID MOTHER!"
"Then what is it?"
"nevermind..."

I believe he means he owns a Verizon Droid ... and his brother owns a MT3G
At least that's how I read it.

Wouldn't it be possible to port the ENG-SPL from the Evo to the Desire?
Where did the evo guys get there ENG-SPL? Cant we get it from the same place?
Go to htc, 2. Door on the left side.
Stairs down to developmentsection.
Boot up one offen their pc's
And. Upload the eng.spl
Then we can have it. ..
nice one why the hell didn't someone before come up with this brilliant idea
besides the eng-spl of the evo is pointless for the desire because of total different device only a eng-spl that was made for the desire can help the devs here! nothing with porting ect....
This is a very Good Question ! How did they get there hands on the ENG-SPL ?
Is it a Leaked one or did someone Modified the SPL?

how can I see it. That the SPL a Eng-SPL is ?
Yeah how did they get it?
Didn't they give the device out at Google I/O? I would expect it to be a dev device then. But, I'm probably wrong.
Figured out the captivate really fast and back to htc after a long time. Has root access been figured out yet? and if it has could someone point me in the direction?
I really am not being crappy with this comment so please dont take it that way but....
have you read the Dev threads yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
yeah I read it. I might wait until an easier way of rooting comes along. I've borked many an htc in the past and frankly I paid way too much for this beauty to wreck after one day.
Might be a month or so for the easier way, i did mine last night, not hard at all for me.
I don't have this phone yet, but just looking at the directions, it's not hard at all. Maybe just time consuming, if that.
I started doing it and going to take my time. I had to reinstall sdk because I formatted my laptop last night and started creating the gold card. ATT really keeps dropping the ball on these damn phones. When are they going to learn that the iphone is not king?
The only thing Im not sure of is the rom to get sound back. How is it as far as being like the original minus the bloat?
Is this a safe rooting and s-off method? are there any bugs reported?
Is there anyone in the Apple valley, hesperia, or victorville California area who can help me out by any chance? Get back to me please [email protected] thanks

You've been asked this and seen this how many times?
I've read and read and read......and I see people who have problems after problems after problems...........so WHY should I root?
What are my benefits? HONESTLY
I have an AT&T HTC Inspire 4G with 2.3.3 Gingerbread
I previously had an HTC Tilt 2 with WinMo 6.5 custom rom, etc. so I understand some of the techy side.
Thanks for your opinion.....I'm listening.

I would suggest staying stock. Rooting is not for those not willing to take risk and learn. It's not about what you gain its more about what you can control. Anything beyond that im sure youve googled.

My girlfriend and her daughter still run a stock ROM. But I rooted both for 2 main reasons. Backing stuff up and to get rid of all those ads.

I felt the same way until I got bored of the stock ROM/bloatware and came across this forum... I found the one step Root method and away I went! However, I was a nervous wreck throughout the process... But, it's worth it. If you already had a rooted phone why not do it to this one?
Just to make sure you know, rooting your phone will void your warranty, as will installing a custom ROM.

Dude, I can completely second everything in your post. Kinda creepy, I'm also David. Haha
The only reason to root really is if you want to tinker with your phone. Other then that the average person has no use for root or custom roms.

You hit it right on the head here .
I root to have "control ",and to be anything but average . Being forced to use bloated roms with ad's etcetera ,is not my game .
I hate the status quo ,and I hate carrier branded bloat .
This is my 3rd rooted phone this year ,and I'd do it all again ....g
Why Root?
This has it advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are that you are able to make your device your own, and use custom features, that you can not have when you not rooted. Disadvantages are: None! Unless you try to install something is not made for your device, or you fail to follow the DEVS advice.

There is a disadvantege for alot of people and that is once rooted OTA updates will no longer be reliable. Not like they are on stock anyway lol but alot of people want to be able to OTA. God knows why but hey to each their own.
I guess that if you are asking that you probably don't know what rooting involves. Then you should try to do some research, watch youtube videos and so on to find out what are the advantages of having a root device. If your phone is just a phone to you...then stay stock.
It's not an easy question to answer and frankly it is absolutly subjective.

You are right on that. But please don't put faith in YouTube videos. They have been the cause of many bricks as they don't explain anything about what your doing. They are great for seeing someones set up but not for any real info

Yeah you are right. Sorry...I forgot to mention that you always have to read Dev´s and thread´s instructions. Youtube videos are just usefull to see how you can customize the phone or some new tweaks that was the intention. To be totally plain I watched many videos to see how a custom rom was...but then came here and read all thread´s about rooting and flashing...
Root if you want your poop to smell like rainbow sherbet. Oh wait, that is what people think happens when you buy an apple product...
In that case, root to be even better than iPhone than you already are. If benchmarking matters not, follow these guys' advice and STAY STOCK!!! Once you flash, you can never go back. It is a consuming addiction to flash new ROMs.
Just because
Rooting is awesome. That's why you should do it.

I seriously considered that very line, the reconsidered because I told a buddy the same thing and never heard the end of it with questions and pursuing things that would definitely brick his phone.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
My inspire is mission critical to my job and ultimately my income...i can'tafford to risk a brick for some ROM that might be a little better. however, when I upgrade after my two years I tinker like crazy...my Aria has tried all the roms and is the test bed for apps and devs.
Bottom line: Take your chances if you can afford it...
Just wondering if we will ever see a one click root for the HTC EVO SHIFT 4G running 2.3.3 :/
I used to root using ADB, actually, my samsung intercept is still rooted....But I have no warranty on my evo, nor do I plan on buying one from sprint.. Really don't wanna go through this phone like I did with my intercepts messing them up
(pretty much just want to fix my 3g speeds and use downloaded apps and one theme...not looking to do a bunch of roms or kernals or eclair etc like I did with my intercept before I moved to froyo haha.)
Highly doubt it since we figured out how to downgrade and root that way but you never know. There might be a dev out there looking for an exploit
You could look into this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343114 I've never used it but the Shift is listed as a supported device.

From what i've read on it, it unlocks bootloader but it still has S-on but as always i could be wrong
I saw that thread and mailed him a few days ago, but he doesn't really help respond...
A few things it doesn't do right...[it giving me error's]
[Not interested in downgrading and going through all that]
I'd rather just pull out the intercept if I needed it that bad...would just really be nice and make the phone work better..

Trust us all when we say the downgrade is nothing, indirect put out a script that gets you all the way to the downgrade process which is just an ruu, then you perm root that, hell send me your shift I'd do it

You realize that after you downgrade you can flash any Gingerbread or ICS ROM that you like. You can also update to the latest radio's. The only this that will stay downgraded is bootloader.

One Click Root at this point will probably never happen. The reason is we have a downgrade root and the source to ICS is out in the wild so what few devs we have seem to be more interested in getting ICS working on the Shift. So if you want a rooted shift your only choice at this time is to downgrade.
