I tried all with android 1.5 and it allowed me to flash the ENG SPL. So I think that I was having problems because I was on android 2.2.1 and with a different radio. I think 2.2.1 only likes 1.33.0013 SPL. I tried four other different ENG SPLs and none worked.

Does anybody knows what ENG SPL can I use with 2.2.1 or how can I get S-OFF so I can mess with fastboot?

This has been answered before..
Only 1.33.0013(d) will work for 2.2.1...

So, I'm on 2.2.1 and tried to root with superoneclick. everything seems to work fine but superuser doesn't show up in my apps. tried to run root again and it says already rooted. would like to get to the next step of installing recovery. any help would be appreciated.

Just follow the guide... super user app is not a necessity :0)

Thanks and sorry for the redundant question.

Where can I get the 1.33.0013d SPL?

No worries, I found the post you were talking about. But 1.33.0013d does not take the S-OFF, it just allows to use one fastboot command. Is there a way that I can get full fastboot control with 2.2.1 update?

Is there a fast ROM that you would recommend for this set up?

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013d (SAPP30000)
CLPD-10
RADIO-2.22.27.08

Thanks, you are the most helpful person I have found in this forum.

Figured it was key to being rooted. Ok, so how do I run app that requires super user?

A easy quick check (to see if you are properly rooted) is to download a terminal in your phone and type su. If the $ changes to # you are set.

You have to allow root privileges to the terminal for this to work. But this comes from the root app. So if you say is not there I don't know.

I rooted with SuperOneClick and I had to reboot for the root app to work.

yeah it's still not taking. as i said i'm on 2.2.1, maybe i need to use something other than superoneclick? guess i'll have to read around.

I rooted my mytouch on 2.2.1 with SuperOneClick and it all went smooth. But, I'm not a Dev or anything so I don't know what went wrong when you rooted. You right, I'm sure you can find some help on the SuperOneClick thread.

Think i might try a factory reset and start over.
