tell us what the hell it is doing then ?? then maybe we can help, did you wipe ??
Moved to general, this thread is a general question, no bearing on development.
did you wipe?
yes i wiped, i followed instructions exactly
1. put first sd card in phone(SPL), recovery, alt+s
3 switched cards (CM2.3 as Update.zip)
4 hit alt x to go to console
5 typed recovery reboot
6 hit alt+s
7 reboot phone
8 still old spl....
At step 7 did you press back+home? And did you see the chip-and-arrow screen after the phone reboot?
If not, you're not updating the SPL. I am not sure if there's some bug with the recovery image you're using. But when it shows message like radio image updated, it has only copied the image to a special location in the memory. A reboot is requied for the image to be written to the hardware (thus the chip-and-arrow screen after reboot).

i don't think step 4 and 5 are necessary.
power + home to get into recovery.
alt + s to flash update.zip
home + back to reboot.

Which radio do you have, you need the new one prior to updating the SPL.
Did you read this thread at all? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3816278&postcount=3
i flashed a different recovery image and every thing worked out....already exploring hero for the first time
FYI, i hope you have the new spl installed.
Hero needs it.

Hi caleoss,

I have the same problem as you, i have newest radio ...26l, cm-recovery1.1 and try install new spl with cyanov3.4. G1 shows installation complete for spl. but i don't see an arrow i install cyanov.3.4 everything goes ok but i dont have new spl
sorry problem solved...old recovery works
Hey. I am having the exact same issue, and I am trying to install the same rom afterwards also (cyan's). How do I go about getting this to work, I am confused by what older recovery your talking about.

jf recovery 1.43
doesnt seem like i need it because ive flashed beta 3 using 1.42 but i want it cause it has to have some capability that 1.42 doesnt right? Only problem is I have no idea how to flash it. I tried renaming the 1 in "haykuros hero rom" post to update.zip and it still said 1.42 when i went back 2 recovery. I dont use fastboot or adb or anything because I am a capital "N" noob and nothing seems to ever say how to do any of this stuff using a mac so.... that being said...can you help?
1. tmobile g1
2. haykuros latest spl
3. 1.42
4. ion
5. latest radio
goal: 1.43 recovery
steps taken: saw a lot of people ask the same question. searched. went back to the rooting thread attempted to enter the commands by pressing alt+x in the recovery console the way they were listed and placed the recovery.img file i unzipped from the hero thread on my sdcard. no luck.
build..?
I did my first fastboot recovery, even though I didn't need to. Pretty decent operation. Just wanted to get the feel of it. I think I'll be using nandroid and fastboot a whole lot in the near future
Goal: To either build myself, or at least play a part in the building of one sweetest ROM's. I guess i'll start small, with a theme.
(it's been a 12 pack of Mountain Dew and B movies kinda night.)

Installing JF Recovery 1.43 is just like any flash update for a rom...
You find and download the recovery file. Rename it to update.zip (Keep in mind that windows by default hides the.zip part so if you rename it to update.zip windows actually sees it as update.zip.zip.. This is a common problem.
Then Boot to SPL by powering off your phone and powering up with Home + Power Key.
Once loaded then hit Alt + L (If you don't have a modded Recovery already) and then If you have to wipe(which I usually do) Alt-W then you need to load the new firmware with Alt + S.
If all goes well it will load the new recover image and will reboot back into Recovery mode in which you just Home + Back to Exit and reboot.
I don't wanna step on anyones toes but I believe to load the new image after wipe it'll be alt + s....
Hero beta's
I've triend to install both Beta 2 & Beta 3 of the Hero build, but evertime it got to the setup screen it would force close. What can I do to get past this problem?

With the beta 3 update update on your sdcard boot into recovery and wipe then flash then wipe again then reboot.
If you have a2sd already Use the adb recount Command and then adb shell to delete the system/sd/ folder.
Just a quick question:
I'm currently running
the Android 1.5r2 based Cyanogen build v3.3.1
1.43 recovery img
Hardspl
The latest radio update (the one with the I as the last character)
I would like to update to Haykuro's new bootloader to get more space and to be ready for the upcoming haykuro build, but I'm a bit scared by all the reports of phones getting bricked.
So my question is, if I install it using the update.zip on sd-card method, is there any chance of a brick?
Let me point out that I don't have a microsd card reader available, so I wont be able to flash the build I'm currently using right after updating the SPL. So far it's not entirely clear to me whether this can be a problem.

Before you consider flashing the new spl. Make sure you have a pvt revision board. Power + camera when turning on your phone. It will be at the top. If it says dvt don't flash.
You also need the 26I radio firmware.
If you do not have a memory card reader or a second memory card ten do not flash the new spl. Once you flash the spl, your phone will not boot until you flash a new Rom onto it
I believe this is correct. Anyone with experience care to confirm?
Actually now that I am rested and thinking straight.. Don't you load a recovery image by loading the recovery.img file on your sd card and booting to Bootloader?
Man I was sick and tired last night =)
Go to My Hero Thread and in the first post is the JF 1.43 Zip file you can use to Flash to JF 1.43 in update.zip format.

From what I know, its a bad idea to downgrade your spl. Check you screen brightness and your screen time out if you are running an overclock program, try setting it to 384 max 128 min. Double check to make sure your screen actually times out. See if your wifi is running, as well as your gps. If you use twidroid change the rate from 5 minutes to 1 hour

if it's haykuro's spl...
Hopefully, you READ & FOLLOWED the directions and flashed the RADIO first, then flashed the SPL. If you did not, then your phone is bricked.
if u cn get into recovery reflash ur rom. and like everyone else says hope u flashed the radio 1st
I did the radio first
I was able to boot into recovery, i tried a wipe and a few things but couldnt get it.
Eventually I got it by reflashing cyanogenmod.

This may sound like a silly question but please forgive me as I have not yet flashed the haykuro spl.
Once you've flashed the new spl, instead of flashing the update.zip of the cyanogen rom, can't you use nandroid restore? Or will that restore the previous spl as well (in my case HARD SPL)?
I ask because I would like to try the spl, but I'm so comfortable with my rom and settings that I would hate to wipe just to try Hero which is still in development. Call me crazy, but I like stable and finished builds. But I am curious and with a lot of time on my hands but not so much that I'm willing to lose everything just to try something that I'm not going to keep.

I'm not actually sure about using nandroid after the SPL flash, but I'm certain that nandroid doesn't copy your SPL (I could be wrong). It would make sense for it to work.

Guide To rooting mytouch 3g 32b (Even if you have 1.6 update)
Propz to:Amon_RA, andreev2001, Cyanogen, and any one else sources I used
Ok after Searching the forums and finding all types of ways to root a Mytouch and having some/no luck I decided
to created a thread that goes into complete detail(or try to at least) about each step that is guaranteed to work if done correctly.
READ
This guide does not require a goldcard or adb . I am also not responsible for bricked/broken phones. Now since that's out of the way happy rooting!!
IF your phone is currently running 1.5(cupcake) already then skip to step 3
1.First of all we can't really do anything with 1.6 so we must downgrade to 1.5 by downloading this sappimg.nph and installing it
2.Once downloaded put it on your sdcard and reboot and go into hboot mode (Hold END+VOLUME DOWN). Preform the update
3.Once update is COMPLETLY finished and it asks you to reboot. Do so, then load your phone up fully and download this apk here (flashrecovery.apk) then run it.
Skip these steps and go to step 4 if you know how to install a apk
3a.to install this apk you have to enable the install unkown source in your settings. To do this hit menu >Settings>Applications>Unkown Soruces(check this).
3b. After this go to the market and download a app called "Astro" (the description should mention somthing about file manager) or you could use another apk installer but I prefer this one.
4. After installing the apk run it and click on “backup recovery image” let it do what it does then click on “Flash Cyanogen Recovery 1.4″.
5.Once that is done you want to download the SPL by clicking here, then put it on your sdcard. After that download any ROM(If you dont know what a ROM is search, I cant tell you everything ) of your choice and rename it "update.zip" without quotes then place it in your sdcard
6.Reboot your g1 and hold down the "HOME" key and it should bring up the flash image recovery screen. Choose apply any zip from sd and then choose "update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2005-signed.zip". It finishes almost immediately with message saying successfully flashed(if it doesn't you prolly ate to much chicken ).
7. Then after it is installed select the restart option and then load into fastboot mode (Hold "BACK" arrow key while its restarting). Once fastboot is loaded the SPL info should say HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP30000). If it does congrats almost there!!!!! If it doesn't, you did somthing wrong and you need to retrace you're steps.
8.Exit fastboot by hitting the "GREEN" button and before the phone boots up hold the "HOME" button and then go to "apply sdcard:update.zip". Let it install and VOL LA you installed your ROM. Preform a reboot and you will now have a rooted phone with a custom ROM
1) thanks for posting, ive tried to follow other instructions over the past few days to no avail
2) any chance of hosting the sappimg.nph file somehwere else? I cant access rapidshare from my phone. I would greatly appreciate it.
OMG SOOO EASY!!!! Mods should sticky this as the new root / rom upload process
I was running android 1.6 on tmobil mytouch 3g with perfected spl 1.33.2006
@ascis sure ill host the files on my website later (im not @ home right now)
@nonmindo thanks and i hope u had a easy time rooting

Thanks for posting - much appreciated. Can I ask what the benefit of changing the SPL is? Is this required?
My concern is regarding warranty - if I flash a new SPL, it is my understanding that I will not be able to flash my current one back, and hence return the phone to stock if the need arises.

Yes, it is required. You cannot root with the MT3G SPL, so you need to change the SPL.

You can flash it back to the original SPL. You would then be unrooted. Look at Amon_RA's original rooting process with Gold Card. At the bottom, he gives directions on how to return your phone to the unrooted state in case you need to do that.
Thanks, I thought with one-click-root, once you'd got the recovery rom flashed, you were done - that you had root and could flash what you liked.
For the record, I'm Voda 32B, but have perfected SPL .0007.
[EDIT] Yes, that thread has a file to return to stock, but only for MT3G, which is why I am hesitant to flash a new SPL to my device.
I've still seen in lots of places mind, that suggest this process works without the flashing of a new SPL. Such as: http://www.ryebrye.com/blog/2009/08/16/android-rooting-in-1-click-in-progress/
[EDIT]
What happened to the ability to format and
and put partitions from the recovery? I just got another Mytouch and rooted it and no ability to put the partions from the recovery mode? I think I had version 1.2 and now I have 1.4

I have rooted my myTouch3G with the 1-click method (twice actually, needed to take it to the store), and I have the perfected SPL 1.33.2006.
The main issue with this SPL is that it does not allow you to use fastboot. As far as I know, this has nothing to do with root access.
Can confirm that I've performed the OP's procedure but *without* flashing a new SPL, and everything is working fine.
Now running CyanogenMod 4.2.2 w/ CM Recovery 1.4.
Does anyone have the link to the partitions recovery? I tried to put the Hero recovery on and it does not want to come on and I still show the Cyanogenmod v1.4 +jf....someone help
Also in the top it has Andriod system recovery (2)? I did it twice, how do i take one off?

I know apparently this isnt the best way to flash your HD2, but im stuck without any access to windows. (mac user)
i cant seem to find step by step instructions on how to do this properly....
is there a link somewhere i can get to so i can figure this out? isnt it as simple as copying the custom.nbh file to the root of my memory card, and entering the bootloader screen?
Sorry for all the noob questions.
take ruu_signed.nbh, copy it to sdcard formatted fat32 (2gb cards seen to work best) rename it leoimg.nbh, boot to bootloader and it should detect the image and ask if you want to flash.
it still requires hspl, unless you have a goldcard(easier to borrow a pc for two minutes to apply hspl than make a goldcard)
the phones already been flashed with hspl.
i just want to change the rom!
Thanks for the tips im going to go for it right now

Hi
One advice you have to remember is DO NOT flash any official rom with this method. If you do it will replace the hspl and you will be stuck.
Good luck

True, flashing a stock rom via sd card will overwrite hspl with the new stock spl, but you will not necessarily be stuck. That used to be the case before hspl2, as the original hspl only worked with spl 1.42.0000. HSPL2 now works with 1.42.0000, 1.66.0000 or 2.08.0000 spl's.
or just throw your mac away and buy a PC
What many forget is that you actually need an SD card and not SDHC, as those will not work.
understand u already flash hspl,
microSD / microSDHC will work as long it is formatted with FAT32 fs.
just copy the *.nbh to SD root & rename it to LEOIMG.nbh.
enter bootloader, follow on-screen.
if bootloader cant find any rom image, run scandisk & try again.
gd luck.
I just flashed this rom.
It seemed to be fine. It installed and looked a-ok.
I had a look around and every thing looked as it should.
I added "26.4 column Start menu.cab" and now the phone won't reboot at all.
It gets to the HTC white screen, and then hangs.
Any ideas?
Is it a conflict between the 4 columns app and the ROM?

when you say "just flashed this rom", what rom?
also, did you read ALL the first few posts in the chefs thread? chances are it requires a specific radio version
either that or you didn't do a hard reset after you flashed.
apologies, I replied in here when I thought I was in the HTC Energy thread.
The device rebooted after the flash.
Does that not count as a hard reset?

Is it T Mobile usa? if so, then you have flashed an incompatible rom.
tmous (T Mo US) phones will opnly take roms based on 2.10, the rom you have installed is 1.66 (D 1. 66. Kumar)
Kumar has a rom in the Tmo US section based on 2.10, you should use that, not the one in teh normal hd2 section.
With power off, press and hold "volume down", tap the power key and continue to hold vol down until you get the three coloured screen, connect to usb, wait for word 'serial' to become 'usb' and flash a compatible rom.

I've just been digging through and saw this, I have the 3 colours and USB.
Gonna try and reflash and see what happens.
These forums own!
edit: re-flashing it went the same way, would hang on boot.
I've gona back to using:
_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship
for the moment.
I'll look and see what it is I missed that stopped the energy rom from working as advertised.
Try installing the recommended Radio

I ran into the same problem and all I had to do was to get the phone into Bootloader and then flash the radio recommended by ROM Cook.
also the same problem
I have also this problem, but I think it's in the rom, when I installed the rom, everything seems ok, but after a reset, the screenthat I get is the white HTC screen.
After a hard reset it is ok, but after a reset it is the same problem.
Then I thought, i take an older rom, but when I've installed the rom he is automatic installing the cab file's at the end of the installation, and he's going to automatic reset the HD2. After the reset I have the same problem as with the new rom.
So the biggest problem is that I can't install another rom or radio because the rom don't start for 100%, and when I do a hard reset, after the reset at the end of the installation I get the white HTC screen.
What can I do, can I fix this problem?

RTFM. These constant posts about white screen hangs are really getting frustrating. Does nobody follow the forum rules of searching any longer? There's nothing wrong with the rom, the user on the other hand I'm not so sure of.
YOUR RADIO VERSION IS WRONG

If you bothered to read even just the last 5 pages of the Energy thread you would have seen probably 20 mentions of the problem. Energy rom won't work with a x.xx.51.xx radio.
I'm not sure if this is what usually happens because I am a noob but, my phone has been on the "stick together" screen for a while, afte rinstalling the ROM is it going into the customization stage or something? Or is it bricked?
I have a 1024 Leo, if that helps.
Okay so please don't hate me for this, but I installed the wrong ROM onto my phone, I just realized. Can I just install another rom right over it? Or what do I do from here? I can get into the boot screen.

I would recommend just flashing a stock ROM first (including radio). And then whatever u want

The thing is, it doesn't turn on past that screen so therefore no ActiveSync connection is available. And I'm not sure how to do it via SD card.

Turn phone off. Press and hold VolDown. Tap the Power Button while still holding VolDown, hold, hold, hold --> BootloaderScreen appears --> Connect USB --> Wait for "USB" shown on Screen instead of "Serial" --> Flash
should I flash the stock ROM just to be safe? or can I go ahead and flash this ROM? I'm 100% this time that it is the correct ROM.

You have several options:
1. Stock ROM --> Custom ROM = Quite clean method
2. Custom ROM = Might not be a clean flash (especially because u had a bad one last time)
3. Use Task29 (cleans the whole ROMMemory) --> Custom ROM = Cleanest method
Dont forget to use a proper Radio for your US-Version and the CustomROM you are using and flash it before you install the entire ROM

II found the Task29 thread and preformed Task29 and flashed a cooked ROM, working beautifully now. Thank you. thank you A LOT.
BllgpapaG said:
I'm sorry I am so noobish, but what is Task29? May you please provide me a link to where I can get it?

See attachment
Make sure you have HSPL (i guess you have installed it as you already flashed a CustomROM)
0. Unpack the zip
1. Go into Bootloader (see some posts above)
2. Connect your Leo to PC
3. Start Task29.exe
4. Follow instructions
5. After finish you Leo will stay on Starting screen
6. Disconnect from PC
7. Remove Battery and insert it back again
8. Again go into Bootloader and connect to PC
9. Flash Radio (After that is finished youll have to take out the Batt again as there is still no ROM to boot )
10. Flash ROM
11. Enjoy an absolutely cleanly flashed HD2
Its really that easy

Yep it was indeed a great invention... One thing: You pointed him to a 512MB Flash Tutorial but he has the 1024MB-Version. Things are not too much different but still you could get into problems, especially as the ThreadOpener seems to be a bit unexperienced.
