I have the original Mytouch 3G. I have wanted to root my phone because I have been stuck on android 1.6 for so long. Waited and finally got the official 2.2 update from t-mobile. I'm not liking it. No flash, no live wallpaper and its really sluggish. I'm wondering if there is a way to root it yet and is there a custom rom for the mytouch that has the froyo features that make froyo great? I appreciate any and all help.
Here ya go.
To root your phone:
http:// theunlockr.com/2010/04/26/how-to-root-the-htc-mytouch-3g/
(remove the space between "http://" and "theunlockr.com")
As for flashing ROMs, you have several options. Go here for a list of all custom Froyo ROMs.

(again, remove the space)
I prefer Cyanogenmod, but everyone has their own preferences.
Have fun!!
Cant use that method. When I try the first step of downgrading it says "Main Version is older! Update Fail!" So I'm not sure what to do now..
From my understanding MyTouch 3G cannot do flash? Had to do with the hardware or something, however I don't know if that's true, I've never seen flash my Mytouch Fender.
Also most Roms dont come with Live Wallpapers, go to the market and download them
Well Still not sure how to root my phone(if possible) since I cant downgrade using the method that was provided in the first response. Anyone else have suggestions or ideas?
I have rooted my mytouch 3G with froyo
I have successfully rooted my MyTouch 3G with the froyo update on it. I used SuperOneClick v1.5.1 . I found it at forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682

did u apply the update?
Tried to use it to unroot/reroot my device. About the only thing it did was mess with the superuser.apk that I had installed.
I looked at the source code from the droid X and it was trying to write directly to /system. I didn't see anything that would get around us not being able to write to /system, as they were just doing a simple remount (which does not work on this device).
Edit: Can't see the source on this one, so I don't know if its doing anything different or not.
The 1.6 version of the one click root is supposed to work, not the 1.5.3 version that's linked on the first page. I plan to give the 1.6 version a try soon... it's linked in someone's dropbox somewhere in that thread
Version 1.6.1 did not work for slide unrooted stock with ota update not sure about anyother device.
Tried Versions 1.6.1 & 1.6 with wifi initially on and initially off with no success.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
no it didnt work for mine on OTA 1.35.531.1 CL216830 release keys
I don't believe the script is completing the phone restarts before the script is completed I ran all the versions of this method and only version 1.5.3 actually returns a fail message which would indicate the script completed. All other versions it doesn't return anything for some reason it just causes a reboot.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
guys pls..if it works..will do only with phones currently no updated by the latest ota....
I had played with this app for a long time and just to clear confusion, the 1.6 version DID in fact work... on certain builds only... Specifically the 1.18 (ENG) and the 1.26 which is on some demo devices in the stores... Thats why there is some success... But if u have gotten to the ENG build, the tool is pointless as u can just flash a custom rooted ROM... For anyone that has done the OTA, im sorry to say, right now the only root for it is our modified exploid exploit for slide found here.... CR
I heard bout the one click wrking for driod but not for mts3g off topic anyone over clocked thear debixe yet

Hi all,
My atrix on Bell is just a couple days old.
Is the process to root and use the adeo custom roms exactly the same as the AT&T atrix?
If not, is there anything different or a thread someone can refer me to?
Thanks,
i am sure that you can root it the same way as at&t atrix cuz I bought an bell atrix and i did root it using the same steps. not sure for rom.

You can use aRoot but I would hold off on Adeo and any other mods to the ROM until they are confirmed Bell compatible

I agree, wait a while so the devs can test stuff for the bell version. GingerBlur should be out soon for bell version.

Rooting Moto Atrix
I just got my Bell Atrix about two weeks ago, I rooted it yesterday using a nice little software called "supper one click" it has options for root, unroot, and non-market apps. there is a vid on YouTube that will show how yo do it ( super easy ) I can't add the link but if you google "rooting Motorola Atrix" it will be the first one.
I'm not sure if it is the best way to go but it worked perfect for me (please donate to developer for his hard work!)
As for the ROM I'm going to wait for more feedback ! bricks are nice to build a house not for a phone

Unless it was updated, Super One Click is technically not the best way to root your Atrix as it was built off of other phones' codes and not fully from the Atrix's so there are some unwanted codes. Super One click included a busybox script, which the Atrix already had. So in essence you have 2 busybox scripts on your phone and it can do some unwated things when you use SU. I don't remember the issues of having 2 busyboxs on your phone. aRoot by DG was designed for the Atrix but DG left supporting the Atrix. At that time, DG recommneded everyone that used the Super One Click to reroot with aRoot. The best way to root atm is Gladiroot from Reiral.
is there any way to unroot for bell users yet?
i know with us users, you can flash the stock rom...

What root method did you use? There should be an unroot method in the rooting folder (or whatever) when you rooted. If you used Gladiroot then post in that thread and have ririal help you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016060

Yea, ririal said he would add an unroot option if we wanted it.
That aside, I had to do a factory reset and it unrooted my atrix bell... of course an option in the gladroot script without needing factory reset to unroot would be great regardless

hi everyone, i'm new on this forum but i know what your doing in here since a year. Today i try to root my atrix from bell to gingerblur, it worked (not the frist time) i did a restore to factory default and it came back to gingerblur and worked for the frist time. now i'm trying to go back to the original version of my atrix because the internet is not working, probably because it's a rom that was done for at&t. Well i'm trying and can't go back. i did a bckup with recovery, root with gingerbreak and install gingerblur...
thank you if someone can help me if not well that's for trying
Dave
sorry for my english i'm french
After some search over internet, i set bell's apn back and everything seem to work ok, the home button is not working i don't know if it' only me. Just tell me if you are having the same issues.
Thank you

I used the LG software tool to update my Optimus T from Froyo 2.2, LG-P509-V10l to 2.2.2, LG-P509-V10S. Now I can't get it re-rooted. In both v10l and the one before that, I was able to easily use z4root to gain root access. Now z4root starts, but closes a few seconds later without completing. Have also tried Universal Androot and Super One Click 1.91. Both fail. SuperOneClick doesn't offically fail, it sees the phone just fine, but never gets past "Running psneuter."
I had used the LG software tool once before to upgrade to v10l and all went well. Only issue with v10l was very slow performance using wifi. This new version, v10s seems to have fixed that, but includes more "crapware" than ever before AND has a new self-starting app called Wifi Calling that tries to ram wifi calling down your throat if you are connected that way. You gotta manually disable it (opt out) to stop it from automtically sending your calls AND texts over wifi! And then it has the nerve to inform you that wifi calls still count against your minutes!!!
Any idea why this new sw version is breaking three different rooting methods?
z4root does not work for Android 2.2.1 or later. Gingerbreak is what you need. It is great and easy. I rooted my Optimus T with it.
Hey, thanks for the heads up! I'll give Gingerbreak a try and post my results later.
Gingerbreak works! Thanks again, you made my day and weekend! Hope other people will find this thread. Gingerbreak is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765

Great! Chrome crashed and by the time I get back to give you a link to gingerbreak, you have rooted the phone.

PS It is better to freeze apps rather than delete them. Just in case.
Yeah, I'm quick when it's that easy! I rip out the real crap like game demos and web2go to save space, and I do freeze the rest. TB is just the best!
had the same issue after upgrading to 2.2.2 thanks a lot for this post saved me

I am wanting to completely root my phone and install a clean slate of Gingerbread on it.
I've tried Z4Root, (I was able to root my phone with it back in 2.1), and have also tried Super One Click.
Nothing works now that I have Gingerbread and I can't find anything TO work.
I am praying to the xda gods for their wisdom and knowledge to help me with this problem! I have been at this since 9AM, it is 2PM. What can I do??
i dont use sgs, but i do know cfroot kernel or any other kernel based on cfroot can help u out.

I have this same phone and took a look at the links in the second post. However the kernel numbers don't seem to be following the same format as the links in the thread.
Has anyone had any luck rooting this kernel on the c spire galaxy s showcase?
I tried Odin3 and it messed up my phone and I had to go get a new one.
I'm also looking for help on this as well.
SuperOneClick
I'm having the same issues. I have tried SuperOneClick and it stops on step 6.
I'm having the same problem too after updating to 2.3.5. Super one click freezes on step 6.
Same issue with my CSpire SGS running 2.3.5. I do think that speed and battery life are improved over 2.2, but I miss my root.

If you used Odin, I doubt that it messed up your phone. What did you try to flash with Odin?

Did you guys do the official update with Kies? Send me a PM for a way to get a rooted ROM on your Showcase.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've ran several custom roms on my phone, but would like the option to just run stock with root so I can remove all of the bloatware from CSpire.
I've also had various issues with some other roms, ranging from no auto-rotate to glitchy in-call audio.

Hey guys, i got my atrix earlier this morning and have been trying to root and unlock the device. While unlocking the devices was easy thanks to this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423
got got to the end of it and my atrix says unlocked when it boots up which is great but i can't seem to root the devices i have tried a lot of the thread here, i won't be able to fix the ram problem without root .Could anyone help me out?
As far as i know there is no direct rooting method for 2.3.6 yet, ideally you would have been better off rooting 2.3.4 and using OTA Rootkeeper and then updating to 2.3.6. Shouldn't be long before someone comes out with a root method for your version.
hmm so i'm stuck with this for now? i came from a rooted milestone so i don't really know but i can't flash any rom for now right?
After a little surfing the guys down in Brazil claim to be rooting their Atrix phones running 2.3.6 using the SuperOneClick method i'm not sure if you've tryed it yet but it's worth a shot.

edit 3: i am rooted and titanium back up works i'll take a break and figure out the rest later thanks again
Try using the root explorer in the ROM Toolbox app, supposedly some file explorers will not give you the proper access levels to delete or rename the files correctly. Read that in tayshun12's thread:
