Unable to start wi-fi, Mytouch 3G T-mobile after rooting

Thursday, December 10th, 2009 | Author: admin

So you Rooted your Mytouch and now lost WIFI, Bluetooth and accelerometers.

This tiny post is to help people that just rooted their phone and lost WIFI, Bluetooth and accelerometers with your new custom image. I had the same thing happen to me and this is what I did. I tried many things and followed a guide from www.subterrain.net which seems to be down now.

This will install the base image and then a custom image from Cyanogen. The outcome is a very responsive phone that works great. I updated to the latest image with CM-Update (you can download it from Market).

There are a lot of people that blame this on hardware, but it seems its just software.

Here’s their Cyanogenmod guide:

[THIS WAS COPIED FROM THEM DIRECTLY, THIS WORKED FOR ME]
Cyanogenmod Installation Steps:

  • Download the HTC Android 1.6 base image: HERE
  • Download the latest CyanogenMod ROM for your device: HERE
  • Put all necessary files on your SD card Now install the actual OS of the phone. First you will install the legal Google apps, and then you will install CyanogenMod on top of those apps.
  • Turn your phone off.
  • Hold the Home button while booting to get to Recovery mode.
  • Select “wipe data/factory reset”
  • Select “apply any zip from sd”  choose “HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip”
  • Press home to confirm and let installation complete (‘Formatting Cache’ will stay at the bottom of the screen but once the menu reappears, the flashing is complete)
  • STOP – DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE
  • Again, select “apply any zip from sd”) * choose “update-cm-4.2.3.1-signed.zip”
  • Press home to confirm and let installation complete
  • When this is complete, reboot your phone by pressing Home & Back or selecting that option. Wait a couple of minutes, and enjoy.

      Oh ok…. it means that the base image “Download the HTC Android 1.6 base image: HERE ” is the “legal” or standard that comes with a regular new phone. In the second step it will install updated apps and visual elements from later releases. My phone looks like Android 2.0 it has the same version of some of its apps like youtube, dialer, etc
