MyTouch Root Help

[chibears530]

I know, I know do a search... But I need help getting root on my MyTouch. Just had my G1 go out about a week ago so I decided to get a Mytouch. I rooted the G1 following the forum instructions, but come to find out I was running a outdated Rom, ect.

(Also I would like to thank everyone that tried to help me fix my G1 on these forums the other week.(Simms22-Prettybow85712-ggrant3876-ECT.)

So since this phone is new I want to do it right. Can I get the links to all the things I need to do. I keep hearing about Cyanogen Rom? Can I get a step by step root instructions, and what roms or rom I should use. I really just want to be able to do the tethering, and the whole zoom thing like the iphone, apps to sd card. But if I can get some help I would really appreciate it. Last time when I had my G1 rooted I got alot boxes popping up on my phone saying app, or browser had to close, so I dont know if that was my mess up, so I just want to do it right, so please be easy on meguys....


Thank's..............

Well Im looking at the forums links that hugo68 gave me and the whole gold card thing is kinda worrying me. Dont want to brick this phone...... Seems like alot more to root this phone then the G1........

Also is this the only way to tether internet with this phone?

I just got a myTouch a week ago, and did not use any goldcard method. In fact, I didn't even hear about that until after my phone was rooted.

Took me about an hour to read that and get the guts to go through with it, but once I found the guts it took about 15 min to get a much faster Cyanogen ROM and I've been happy since.

I used the one-click flasher, and went to CyanogenMod 4.0.4 (latest stable version)

It was so easy that I then went on to CyanogenMod 4.1.11.1 (latest experimental version)
