Rooting your myTouch 3G Android smartphone opens up a host of features usually unavailable to the phone with the stock software that comes preloaded from the factory. Rooting allows for better performance, more options and features, and the ability to install apps from your microSD card. Making this change to your phone, however, is not authorized by the handset developer, and you should do it at your own risk, as it may damage the phone. The features are not directly supported either, so troubleshooting any problems would have to be done through resources available online.
Instructions
1. Access your phone's settings and under the software sub-heading, enable your phone to allow untrusted sources.
2. Navigate to the Recovery Flasher URL (see Resources) from your phone's browser.
3. Run the "Recovery Flasher" app that you just downloaded and installed.
4. Touch "Backup Recovery Image" and then touch "Flash Cyanogen Recovery 1.x.'
5. Turn your phone off and reboot it into "Recovery Mode" by holding both the "Home" and "Power" buttons to test that you successfully rooted your phone. If you did it correctly, you will see a screen that lists "CyanogenMod" along with the build number at the bottom of your screen.
