2.6.2.110 to 2.6.2.110 therefore no update I hope someone can help.

But thanks to this forum I can Usually/so far fix it....however, this time may be different.
I have without problem upgraded, downgraded radio stacks, flashed ROM's and altered bootloaders, but this time tried everything, read every post on this, 4 different seach peramiters no luck. I think I really did it this time Here's where I'm at:
T-Mobile phone edition
bootloader: 5.15
was rom: 4.001 Radio: A.20
on: AT&T Wireless US
Was having trouble with signal realized that I upgraded the radio last time then the ROM. Under T-Mo rom you could run the RSU upgrade and it would reintall the radio stack no trouble as long as you didn't touch the device. This time with A.20 stack it froze at 13%
Where I'm at Now:
Can: get bootloader
Can: change rom's via bootloader
Changed: rom to 4.0016 via bootloader
Cannot: get it to boot past Test only screen which reads G<blank> R<blank> 4.00.16<appears at bottom>
Cannot: connect to activsync
Cannot: get to today screen (no matter how many soft resets+holding volume+power on/off+power cable/no cable or any combonation there of)
Anyone been able to beat this hang? I think this is it for my little guy :roll: unless a wise master can teach me something new to reincarnate it
Can you get anybody with a backup sd card of ce and boot from their machine and try that from bootloader. Maybe that would get you going and then you could maybe flash the radio again.
I had it too with that TMobile ROM. I posted in some threads, read virtually all methods. Nothing worked.
But I eventually fixed it by sending the unit back to the importer for service and had them replaced the main board.
Some of my stories are contained in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=25450#25450
You need to wait an hour or more to allow it to boot. It will eventually boot, from there you can retry the radio stack from within windows (copy the four files to your windows directory).
There is a thread on this.
Good luck.
Hal.
thanks guys I'll give it a go with the wait for an hour bit. Already am able to flash the rom so lets hope the one hour or more wait does it :shock: I search all the threads just curiouse if you happen to know where it is post a link in this thread for others. I'm also going to search again and post it..if I find it this time that is :wink:
Hello All!
I just got an XDA that has the oldest version of all three components. I was browsing the rom cooker last night and also found a RSU for 4.21 that i thought i could install (activesync install exe)... Oh boy what a mistake!
So now, after the "programme B" update that was in dutch was completed, i got a continuous pop-up in dutch that came up and stayed on every boot. I managed to remove the items from startup and i dont have that problem any more, but my radio does not work at all, and i cannot connect to active-sync to go back or try another RSU!!! It just seems that the usb on the device is messed up, as the PC tries to connect when i cradle it.
I believe my problem is that i did not use programme A first? i only discovered that program after screwing up the wallaby...
I am on my way to buy an SD card now to aid in the disaster recovery. In the meantime, if anyone would be so kind as to reply with a suggestion for fixing it, and how to properly update the components, i would Greatly appreciate it!
Thanks in advance, and i love the forum! Look foward to spending lots of time here
OK, so i found the GSM error thread and followed the instructions, but when trying to upgrade the RSU, i get the error: "Upgrade Failed! hit ok to reset device"
Any suggestions?
All Fixed! From zero to hero in a day!

How have you fixed it?
Maybe we can update the instructions....

I followed the instructions here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_GSMError
The only difference is that i did not copy to the startup folder and ran the update manually from the windows directory. Allowing the upgrade to run on startup always caused a problem like you described
Hi everybody! I´m new here and I really need your help! I have a Cingular 8525 mobile and I was updating its firmware to the new WM6 when the power supply of all my city was broken suddenly (the update was in 18%). Firstly the only screen that I could see was the tri-color screen (bootloader screen)... then I followed the procedures that I´ve found here (using the mtty), and now I also can turn on the mobile, then the initial screen appears (written At&t) as before, however after it I get a black screen.
I already tried to flash the ROM with the lastest version and the version that I was using before, but when it is in 1% my mobile reset automatically and on my PC the error message "Invalid Vender ID error" appears, I also download the oldest ROM version I´ve found here and the RUU even doesnt recognize my device... I tried the steps described at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems to solve the Invalid Vender Id Error but it didnt work, I tried to flash my mobile from the SD card and it didnt work as well (i got the error message "dont allow" on my device). Could one of you help me ?? Thanks a lot!

What new WM6?
You need to do a little more research and provide more information on what you were flashing. You're extremely lucky you've not totally screwed it by trying to flash earlier ROMs that don't match your device. With this answer, you will get your device working and learn a lot more about it - follow it carefully.
<stock answer 10531a>
Start here - Read up on CID in answers 17, 19, 2 and 20 that will explain your first error and prepare you for unbricking your device. It's also why I don't think the "latest" WM6 you're trying was either not for your device or your device had been tinkered with before. Certainly doesn't sound like HardSPL either.
Then you have 3 choices :
1) If it was genuinely your network providers own update, supplied by them and you are not confident AND unprepared to read the wiki then - call your network for support - it broke using their update.
2) If it was not a genuine update and something from here, elsewhere, cooked etc and you are unprepared to research in the wiki and forums about upgrades before attempting one ignoring the posted warnings then your carrier will be able to arrange a fix under warranty. Tell them it "just died".
3) If you are prepared to learn a bit first -
* DO NOT attempt to flash any more ROMs until you know where you went wrong or you will totally brick your phone.
* Understand what you've done wrong
* Find out your SPL & IPL from the bootloader screen
* have a look here then have a look here before doing anything else.
* If your SPL is 1.06, 1.09, 1.11 or 2.02 then flash any shipped ROM matching your CID, if such rom is not available wait until your carrier releases it or send it to repair or warranty..
* If your SPL is 1.04 then flash any shipped ROM with bootloader 1.04 on it twice.
* If you plan to tinker again in the future, read about HardSPL.
* Have a search in the forums for similar questions which have full posted answers (millions of them)
* When you have an idea of whats happened or more information and have done some reading - if you can't fix it by then and need help then post again.
People will help if you are not confident but you need to supply as much info as possible and do the above first!
Knowledge is thy key to thy kingdom and thy brick will grow wings and fly free once again

Help please.. some one...
I can try and help ...
I had tried the xda-dev post entitled [How-To] Root and un-root the T-Mobile myTouch 3G, and I was receiving the same errors you described. I tried creating the goldcard following this xda-dev page Qns wrt SG Htc Dream and SDcard, even though I followed the hex editing info exactly, I continued getting the same errors similar to what just you described. I tried it using the exact method, which meant I had to wait to create the goldcard at work, since I don't have a windows machine at home (not trying to imply that this couldn't be done on Windows, just letting you know about what happened with me, when I was trying it too).
After trying most things and getting practically fed up, I decided to find out if I could just create the gold card on Ubuntu (since I didn't want to wait any longer). There was a Tutorial for the that I found my searching google Nazri Awang: How to create a goldcard with Ubuntu Linux, which is what I used finally to successfully create a working goldcard. I would have given you the links, but as newer posting member here, I am unable to link using any outside links in this forum yet.
I can try to and help you as I struggled with this last night and at the end of the evening, I am now running a 2.1 cyanogenmod version. I would like to document what works this time, as I really didn't get a chance to do that when I was trying to figure it out for myself. If you want send me a private message here, and I will IM you as soon as I can to try and help. We can then post the how-to here so that others can benefit from it.
Let me know either way.
Thanks,

Can you either paste the link here, or put the title of the tutorial or wiki you used to create your goldcard. After creating it before doing anything else did you try and insert it back into the phone? Does it do that successfully?
Thanks!

Greetings potential saviors!!! I swear on my immortal soul that I have scoured these forums for an answer, and I can attest to having followed technical instructions to the T, but after countless hours of suffering through endless failures I am humbly asking for the assistance of someone wiser, someone stronger, and someone with the compassion and fortitude to help someone as desperate as myself.
My phone, like the others mentioned in this thread, is a T-Mobile myTouch 3g (Google branded) with the following specs:
Firmware Version:1.6
Baseband Version: 62.50SC.20.17U_2.22.23.02
Kernel Version: 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37 - [email protected] #19
Build Number: DMD64
saphire pvt 32B ship s-on g
radio 2.22.23.02
cpld-10
hboot 1.33.0007 (SAPP30000)
I'm trying to root my phone and from what I have read it is necessary to create a "goldcard" in order for the phone to flash the sappimg.nbh file. I followed the steps (theunlockr) and was successful according to their test of being able to read the SD card after the process of coping the goldcard image to the micro SD. I've made four separate goldcard's using Kingston 2GB cards, each time I believe successfully.
When moving on to process of going into HBOOT I continually receive the same error message "Update Fail, Main Version Older." This error appears as the update is finalizing during the checksum process.
Does anyone have an idea of what my next step should be? Thanks for your help!

Can try itnet7's idea. Perhaps something is failing with the goldcard. other then that, other random things I guess you can try, is re-downloading the nbh, or try another brand sd card.

Perhaps they might work. Goodluck.
Problem solved! It turns out that I required a later version of the sappimg file. I used 2.53.707.2 sappimg (Google searchable). The only issue is that when the phone booted with that image it did not have andriod market installed (need for the Linda file manager). After a short freak out, I loaded the sappimg from theunlockr redirect. Tada...was able to root and now running Froyo.

The 2.53.707.2 sappimg did not work for me but "SAPPIMG_Sapphire_TMUS_1.88.531.1_COC10_release_signed.nbh" did. Search in google - lots of download links. I used the goldcard method.
Sorry for posting this here, but it wont let me post a reply in the developer thread because i am that much of a noob. But while trying to update this ROM to 7392 from 7008, the Zune software just claims that i have the most up to date version. I have looked through all of the other threads and i can't find anyone with the same problem as me. I've done everything in the right order
>(I already had HSPL
>Revert to WM6.5 Stock Rom
>Install 2.15 radio
>Install MAGDLR 3.13
>Uselast24nand and ClearSD MBR
>USB Flasher install HD2_Updatable_XBmod_Yuki_v2_native.zip (7004)
>Ive set the time and date perfectly
>Launch Zune update to 7008
>Restarts but doesnt find any further updates
>Everything hurts. My body cant take it.
try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012189
Get well soon
Edit; welcome to the forum
I can offer you a few suggestions
Reset the phone from about and leave it on "Welcome Page" see if zune detects update..failing that
Force the update
http://www.wpcentral.com/force-mango-update-early-through-zune-software
If that doesnt work
Try sending the devicepro.cab via cab sender(this is knowN to work from 7392 onwards but give it a shot) Tip..when you send via cabsender use B rather then S this will back up your phone if it fails
If you cant update via zune - try the cab method install
Dont abandon hope we all got there in the end let us know how you get on
I had the same problem after flashing the second time.
The cab-solution made it work for me. After that just try and try and try for the 7720 update - sometime it will work!
You guys are AWESOME. It worked and is now in the process of updating to 7720.
Thank you. My body is now ready.
