Hello all,
As many of you know Rogers issued an update for 911 issues and sense ui just recently, unfortunately as I attempted the update via SD card method, the first update seemed to have gone well but after once it wanted to reboot it keeps on splashing the ROGERS over and over.
I'm thinking this is most likely because I am rooted and the process just didn't agree.
I am currently running amon ra's 1.2.3 rec. img
with amon ra's 1.6 rom
32A motherboard
BTW I still get to boot when I hold end+vol down
and when I hold end+home I get amon ra's screen but is quickly taken away after a few seconds.
Any help would be much appreciated.

help?
good news and bad news.
good news, im pretty damn sure thats not a brick as you can still get into fastboot (the vol down + power)((atleast thats what i think fastboot is))
bad news, i dunno how to fix it.
i know theres a way to revert to original stock ROM via fastboot, so im sure it is fixable. don't know about custom ROMs via fastboot.
bed time, though. good luck, man, and dont get bummed cause im 99% sure you aren't just plain ****ed.
edit: just noticed screenie, but can't see it because my girlfriends retarded wanna-be stepdad decides to look at pr0n all night and continues to install "mywebsearch" **** and i can't get to it. :/
Hopped on my mytouch, still think your good but let someone else who knows more vertify that.
another option
one other thing you can do,
go to a rogers store, and tell them you tried applying the so called essential upgrade 'b/c you care about your safety' and the '911 issue is a important fix'. tell them you recieved instructions to do w/e it is using the SD card method.
basically, you tried the update ---> phone got messed up.
i know someone else did it and it was grounds for them just giving you a new phone.
not saying 100% it'll work, but its worth it b/c you get a new device with the new ROM on it if it does.
goodluck.

Can you clarify which SD card method? Was it using the official DREAIMG.nbh from Rogers?
I thought that I had bricked my phone because I went for a hail mary attempt to root my phone. But unfortunately it wouldn't get past the Rogers screen.
However, after talking to a CSR, they sent me a link to the Windows 7 file and it rewrote everything back onto my phone and I was able to boot it normally again.
@r3s-rt
Ya, thanks. I figured I wasn't completely boned.
@mbk.2k3
I thought about that but when I go home+end you can see I'm using amon ra, which would mean they know I rooted and therefore void my warranty

I had the same problem while installing the new update yesterday. I had to call Rogers to guide me through it and even he couldn't figure it out. My phone just kept rebooting over and over after installing the first update. Even in recovery mode it didn't give me a chance to wipe, flash or restore anything because it would reboot in a matter of 2 seconds. The tech support guy on the phone had no idea what to do. I finally realised that I had a seperate Mini SDcard USB adapter that I could put my SDcard in and then plug into the USB. That allowed me to access my SDcard so I was able to delete the first SAPPIMG and then put the new SAPPIMG from the second update onto the SDcard. I repeated the same process from the first update (I was able to access fastboot without it rebooting), everything installed perfectly and now the phone is up and running great. If you don't have a Mini SDcard to USB adapter I'd suggest picking one up at your nearest Electronics store. I believe I picked mine up at BestBuy for $35 which came with a 4gb class 4 SDcard. The adapter is so small that it actually sits on my key-chain. Hope this helps.

if you're desperate it's worth a try. maybe it's just my personal experience with them but i have a feeling most of the rogers reps/techs wouldn't know/care enough.
@FoTwoZero
Thanks that sounds just like mine.
I'll give it a shot.
Were you rooted before?

I was rooted before, this is why I'm sure I've had the same problem as many of you. It seems though that this issue doesn't just stop at us... This issue has been happening with many other carriers and I'm not sure why (as of yet). I've flashed dozens of other Sense ROM's and even ROM's without Sense for ei. Espresso and Eclair and they all worked fine before. This new Sense ROM from Rogers is fantastic. So try what I did and you should be on your way with no issues.
Now if only we can root this damn phone.

After the update your phone won't be rooted anymore, therefor your warranty will still be in effect. After flashing the first update it already changes your SPL and Radio therefor Rogers wouldn`t know if you were rooted prior to the update. If you stuck in the boot loop just follow my instructions and you will be home free.
Now if only we can root this damn phone.

@FoTwoZero
Just did what you did and I'm up and running!
Thanks
I think they did misname the updates though.
Because in the instructions given, and picture above correspond to the 2nd zip file.

Happy to hear that I could help. They did misname the files but how could you blame someone who goes by the name of Rogers. I have several services with them and it's nothing but headaches with them.
I'm sure it was a rushed update as well. The devs at HTC were probably pressed for time to get this update up and out the door within a couple of days. Rogers will possibly be a major distributor for them in the next upcoming years.
Thanks a lot!
That solved it.
Anyone been able to root this ROM yet..?? I have tryed everything and I just keep semi bricking my phone.. but I can always recover it.
I flashed the wrong recovery for my mytouch3g 1.2 and can't get past the mytouch screen the phone was already rooted. I was updating to a new recovery and realized after I flashed it was the wrong recovery. I can still boot into fastboot mode but I am locked from uploading the correct recovery. So I need to make a new gold card to root the phone again to flash the correct recovery but I am unable to get the CID# to make a new gold card is there another way to accomplish this? I was testing a new ROM when I flashed a the recovery that's way the phone wont boot.
If you posted this in the correct thread you would get more responses.
I moved it to General for you because this has nothing to do with the development of roms.
Im in the same boat - Someone help?
I asked a friend to let me borrow their android phone>> I installed terminal, popped in my SD card and pulled the CID. --- Know anyone with an Android phone? My best solution for ya.
Did it work for you?
Yes, I installed terminal on my friend's phone from Market - booted her phone with my SD card, ran the cat command and pulled the CID. --- Had even more fun getting the Hex formatting to work on my Gold card... but I finally got my phone up and running again. Good Luck and if I can help let me know. the unlckr GoldCard instructions were the most concise. Then Amon_RA's posts were the best.
hi all im pretty sure ive bricked my hd2 but im not positive i can get into the boot loader and i have tried to flash via the sd card and that even fails right now when i turn it on i get the black screen with the white triangle with the exclamation and it says software update failed now i followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681317 and used that stock rom but that fails im putting this up in hopes that i can get help with this now what happened is a bit odd i was running android on the sd card and it would reboot at random whenever i tried too do something then all of a sudden it started too flash my winmo rom so i didn't interrupt it then everything worked ok i put a different version of android on the card i was even able too try and flash the rom via usb somehow it went threw but that failed too i was at the 2.12 radio first things first does anyone know how too change the radio via sd card and does anyone have any suggestions and remember i can get into the bootloader thanks in advance everyone for any help you can give on this
Please read this whole post before clicking on links.
Yes, and apparently you never read mskips thread which was posted in the guide you used. Check this link out to flash a radio via sdcard
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
If you can get into boot loader mode you might have a chance to save the phone. Have you tired Task 29? It'll erase everything on your phone (besides the radio)?
Also please provide me with the link to the thread where you got the radio from.
If you need some help hit me up on gtalk using your google account. ldgarcia4283, i'm gonig to walmart but i can chat on gtalk.
i am trying to root and put jellybean on my My-touch 4g. i know all the processes and i have gone through a great deal of time reading and watching videos. the first thing i was supposed to do was to downgrade my My-touch 4g to 2.2.1 since you can't root the version 2.3.4. well i downloaded the files necessary and put them on the root of the SD card and booted into H Boot.
so my problem is that the H Boot doesn't recognized the PD15IMG.zip ( hence me not being able to do anything). please help ....
i was also wondering if i could flash a Custom Rom through recovery without having to root or downgrade?
If the HBOOT doesn't recognize your PD15IMG, you might be either naming it wrongly or using an unrecognized SD card.
Grab another SD card or reformat yours, and try again. And again. And next time please use search for questions that have been already asked zillion times.
And if there was a simpler way, tell me, do you think that people would use more complicated ways for 2 years now?? Some basic logic.
And you posted in the wrong section.
thanks
thanks for the help.... but it didn't work ...
nothing works...
and the reason i decided to post my own thread was because i have tried almost everything on other threads and nothing worked i have also tried to use a different SD card and that also failed. and thanks for the advises but i already knew that ....
Did Ty check to see if the file is PD15IMG.zip.zip? If so, delete a .zip.Also make sure it isn't in a folder on your sd card.
If nothing works - then you're doing something wrong. Plain and simple.
Your MT4G isn't different from any other MT4G.
Look for what you're doing wrong. There are very few options.
I need help, and I need it fast.
I never create accounts for forums but this phone is driving me insane.
I have a phone which is not mine but I have taken the liberty of restoring this persons phone.
It is an HTC Panache, LOCKED to Mobilicity and it is stuck on splash screen.
I have tried for countless hours to reload the software, I've downloaded 3 different files all pertaining to PDIMG15
How do I restore this phone? Which file do I need and do I need to make a Goldcard???
Everytime I try to restore it finds the PDIMG15 file on the SD Card, goes through the blue bar and Gold bar and then says CID INCORRECT, UPDATE FAILED.
What is the solution?
Thanks to anyone who can help me.
This post tells you how to make a gold card and use it on the panache.

Correct me if im wrong, but this wont work unless the phone is operational... the only thing accessible on this phone is the bootloader.
My ignorance when it comes to the panache is obviously showing. You can try the RUU?

I am downloading the RUU at the moment.
Once downloaded what exactly do I do with the RUU?
I have searched on how to use it but to no avail.
Thank you for any help.. I am desperate to fix this phone, the person I am fixing it for is obsessed with this thing.

It only finds the phone when in FASTBOOT,
the RUU stays stuck on Rebooting to Bootloader, what is wrong?
Can anyone provide any insight??
Google for the line that you wrote yourself, the one that describes the fault. Look through Google results and see if there is anything you can do.
And you can try making a goldcard and loading PD15IMG, bootloader is enough for it. Or you can extract PD15IMG from RUU (it'll be different, for Panache) and use it in the same way. To load PD15IMG on your SD card use card reader.
