[ROM][32A-MT3G] T-Mobile MyTouch 3g Fender Edition Stock ROM with ROOT! [01-25-2010]

cursordroid said:

This ROM is a nearly stock 1.6 Donut ROM, based on the T-Mobile MyTouch 3G Limited Fender Edition. It has all of the T-Mobile apps in it too.

Thanks to crypysmoker for testing some rather dangerous SPL/radio stuff on his phone.

Requirements for this ROM
- MyTouch 3G Limited Fender Edition OR MyTouch 3G 1.2
- Rooted recovery environment
- Stock MT3G 32A Radio and SPL
---- Radio: 2.22.23.02
---- SPL: 1.33.0013
---- Amon_RA Sapphire G Recovery
- Ability to read and comprehend English for the instructions

Downgrade/root your MyTouch3g 1.2/Fender using the normal means. I think the goldcard method works. Check this thread for more information. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=622530.

After rooting, you will have a 32A phone that will not (at this point) have a working touchscreen on any ROM.

Download and extract this ZIP file. http://www.theandroidkitchen.com/fileshare/MyTouch3g32A/?download=MT3GStockRadioSPL.zip
Boot into FASTBOOT, flash the radio, then the SPL/HBOOT, then Amon_RA Sapphire G recovery, then press Menu to power off your phone. Boot into recovery and you now can flash this ROM. Make sure that you flash the radio, SPL and recovery at the same time without rebooting in between.

Code:

fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot_7201A_1.33.0013G_091021.nbo
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Then boot into recovery by holding Home and pressing Power and you can flash this ROM.

Features:
- root, of course
- busybox
- Superuser.apk

I don't have one of these phones, so I'm not sure what works and what doesn't, but I hope this gets you guys back up and running without reverting to the T-Mobile non-rooted ROM. crypysmoker is testing most functions out right now.

Enjoy!

Please keep all issues in this thread. Again, please remember that I don't have one of these phones, so I can't directly test fixes for anything. I will rely on you guys for that.

I accept no responsibility for damage to your device, but this is just a ROM, so it's damn near impossible for this to damage your device.

Use the H/G version if your Magic is HTC branded (PVT 32A board)/Google branded (PVT 32B board).

I'll be getting my MyTouch 1.2 w/3.5 mm jack (NOT FENDER) tomorrow but I'm slightly confused about whether or not the touchscreen will work afterwards.

I believe that I have successfully created my goldcard (not sure yet since I don't even have the phone yet) and put the Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010 (sappimg.zip) on the root of it.

So I flash this file and then fastboot flash the radio, hboot_7201A_1.33.0013G_091021.nb0 and recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img as per the instructions here:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5451898&posted=1#post5451898

For the recovery, should I use 1.5.2G orH?
According to Amon_Ra, I have a 32A board I flash H. 32B boards flash G. So why do the instructions say to flash G on a 32A board???
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4029315&postcount=1

So after I do all of that then I should have root, right?
But did I understand correctly that based on what I've read that the touchscreen does not work?
I understand that there are no custom roms out there but help me figure out why should I root this if I'm losing one most basic methods of input? I also understand that we can't tether with this yet... so what do we gain from rooting? Please correct me if I'm wrong but I'll be upset if I go through all this trouble of buying a card to make a goldcard and working until 3 in the morning to get it working right just so I have even less than stock.

So bottom line... if everything works (touchscreen, headphone jack, etc) then I'll root. If not then I'm waiting for an easier and safer method. But I'll rather find out from asking than discovering the hard way.

The touchscreen will work with this ROM but only with this ROM, if you flash any other rom ur touchscreen will not work.

Its a G recovery because its a google branded 32A phone (32A board with 32B radio and spl)

Good luck with making a gold card. If you get it to work let us know what kind of sd card you used. Hope it works for you.

I don't have 3G for some reason. I tried to reflash the radio and of course it's giving me remote: not allow.

I checked the APN. Everything looks fine.

Known issue or just my bad luck?

Flash back to this 1.33.2010 SPL and you can reflash radio:
(I can't post links) go to showpost.php?p=4332591

Here were my steps:

1. Put that SPL on goldcard, renamed to sappimg.zip
2. Volumn down + power and flashed it
3. Fastboot and flashed radio + hboot from MT3GStockRadioSPL.zip
4. Flashed recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img
5. Reboot into recovery
6. Run MT3GFender32A-Stock-1.0-signed.zip update
