Trying to Set MyTouch3g (t-mobile google version) to default

So current heres what i have...
Sapphire PVT 32B SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP30000)
CPLD-10
RADIO - 3.22.20.17
When trying to follow the Un-rooting process explained in [How-To] Root and un-root the T-Mobile myTouch 3G by Amon_RA, it give's me an error stating "Main version is older!". I've noticed a lot of other people having issue's and haven't seen a resolution for that error. I have created the goldcard and still no go. Does anyone have any other ideas on how to get this fixed.. I need to turn in my phone for a replacement because the lighting on this has started to short out (randomly goes on and off... even if phones off sometimes). I've tried to fastboot a recovery onto it as well and When it fastboots it goes to the Vodafone splash and then just sits there doesnt move and I left it for a good 15 minutes.. This phone still boots up just fine but I need to get the orig. t-mobile rom and spl, splash etc so this can be traded in. Thanks for the help in advance. Sorry if I sound like a noob, it's because i am

Moved to General since this isn't related to developing roms.

Anybody have any ideas?

I'm going through the EXACT same thing as you. Give it up bro. Ppl on these forums are absolutely no help at all. Btw you're radio version is the Rogers one. That's the only thing I've been successfully able to figure out on my own. Everything else has been futile. Good luck. PM me if you figure it out!

[Fixed]
I finally was able to fix this last night... i found two guides that helped in getting this fixed.
Here is what i did first...
h__p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=674003&highlight=1.33.0007 (change the __ to tt)
This made it so i was on an Engineers SPL with S-OFF in order to unlock the fastboot options... I also changed my Splash to the myTouch 3g As well with this tutorial (can't remember where i found it, but it was on the forums somewhere). Once i did this i was able to finally do everything from this post
h__p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133&highlight=Root (change the __ to tt)
Which i followed
Un-Root your T-mobile MyTouch 3G (and receive back those OTA updates)
- Download this nbh and rename it to sappimg.nbh (MD5 33D958062CC02BB2CEC157F68621D2FF) (h__p://rapidshare.com/files/269267171/SAPPIMG_Sapphire_TMUS_1.88.531.1_COC10_release_signed.nbh)
- Copy sappimg.nbh to your goldcard (a normal SD might also work if you are using an engineerings SPL, give it a try and let us know ).
- Power-off your device
- Insert the goldcard (or SD)
- Power on while holding volume down (of fastboot your device and then press volume down)
- It should pick up the sappimg.zip and you should be able to flash it.
- Once the flashing is FULLY finished reboot your phone.

After following that everything worked perfectly and i'm back to factory settings If you have any questions i'll see if i can help

No! I bricked my phone!!

I just rooted my Mytouch a couple days ago and everything worked perfect and i did it without bricking my phone. I was trying to get the supercsdiv4 rom, but i needed to flash the lateset radio and heres where the problem started. the radio tried to flash was 2.22.23.02. I used the recovery image to flash it and then when i rebooted the phone it stayed stuck at the splash screen and i cant get into fastboot or recovery anymore. it just boot to the splash screen and stays there. I know i cant get my phone back but i want to know what i did wrong so that i dont ever do it again. maybe it was because the radio i had was a 32a radio and this radio i tried to flash might have been 32b but im not sure why that wouldn't work if my phone is 32b
here was my system
pvt 32b
Hboot 1.33.2005
radio 3.22.20.17

have you tried taking the battery out for a bit.. relax a while, then put it back in and try to get into recovery mode (home and power)

this actually happened yesterday and my phone was off the whole time so it has had plenty of time to rest. My phone is truly bricked

well im sorry to hear that, but i have no idea what you did wrong, unless you did flash a 32a over a 32b or the other way around, im sure that could really mess up the phone.
may be a useless idea but have you tried a hard reset
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the HOME and BACK buttons.
2. Briefly press the END CALL/POWER button while continuing to press the HOME and BACK buttons.
3. When you see the screen with the 3 Android
images, release the HOME and BACK buttons, and then press the TRACKBALL.
i have no idea if it will do anything but might as well explore EVERYTHING.

Similar Problem (Partial Brick?)
Not to take anything away from clint1225 but
I have a similar problem and didn't want to start another thread.
I tried unrooting my devices using the method
described at theUnlockr.com. Everything was fine up until I tried using
their sappimg file (said it worked for all old magics).
At the hboot stage, it found the sappimg but the update failed.
However, the magic now says:
SPL-1.33.0006 (SAP50000)
Radio- 2.22.19.261
Ship S-On G.
It's a 32A version.
I had an engineering spl and 6.35xx radio before I attempted to unroot.
Oh I'm not able to access recovery but I can access
fastboot (computer can't find it though under "fastboot devices")
Other than that, it's stuck at the first splash screen.
Any advice/tips?
Sorry for the long post and thank you.
Good luck to you too, clint1225!

UPDATE *Similar Problem (Partial Brick?)*
In the adb, the serial number
of the htc magic is coming
up under "fastboot devices".
However, if I try to
flash a recovery for example, the adb
returns "remote access not allowed".
I've read about the gold card method
but my phone won't boot up properly
(stuck at splash screen) and I can't
access recovery. Only fastboot seems to be
working.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Take it for what it's worth coming from a newb. But from my understanding if you can reach your phone with Fastboot your a NOT bricked. But this is what I have heard here on XDA, I haven't proven this myself.
Check around and hopefully with fastboot you can get your phone back. Good luck.

I did the exact same thing a few weeks back. I flashed a 3.22 radio over my 2.22 radio, thinking it's an upgrade but after it reboots, it wont get past the logo screen. I spent the whole day trying to find ways to recover it but cannot find any. Thank god I have warrenty on it so I went to the Tmobile store, told them I updated it and when it restart, it got stuck on the logo screen. They gave me a new phone and told me dont f-up this one. Now I'm afraid of updating my phone to the 6.something radio.

Update *Similar Problem (Partial Brick?)*...again.
MasterColdSoul and koolpre,
Thanks for the tips and luck!
I figured it wasn't a total brick so I searched
the whole day on google and xda.
What I can tell you is that I now have a functional phone.
I used the rogers "mandatory" update (2 sappimgs) to
get my phone (rogers 32a) working again (boots fully).
However, I now have the SPL 1.76.0010 which means
I've lost root functionality and it's harder to get root.
But I could use the phone to make a gold card and get root again.
Boy I'm glad this worked! I should have learned my lesson
but I will probably try to root, hehe!
Thanks to google search and xda community!

just because the radio starts with bigger numbers doesn't make it an update. 3.22 was the old radio and 2.33.23.02 is the latest radio so you were actually downgrading your radio and thats why your phone brick. Just letting you know because you seem to be under the wrong impression. Dont make that mistake again. just do a little research to find the latest radio.

[Q] Stuck At Unzipping Screen (Now It Won't Go Into Recovery Mode)

Hey everyone.
I was rooting my MyTouch 3g w/3.5mm this morning. I'm following the instructions from here ( http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/ ). I had apparently messed up when I was at the restart after flashing sappimg.zip onto the phone and was stuck at the HTC Magic Screen. I restarted my phone by holding down the Reject Call + Volume Down key and told it to flash sappimg.zip onto the phone again so I could redo it correctly. Unfortunately, it's stuck at the "[1] SYSTEM - UNZIPPING" stage. I'm afraid to turn it off because it says to not power off the device.
So, yeah, have I bricked my phone or is there a way to restart this process so I can successfully root?
Thanks much, and have a happy holiday.
EDIT: This sort of resolved itself, but now I can't get into recovery mode. :/

So your flashing the engineering spl for the first time or are you flashing the stock spl back?

I'm flashing the engineering spl onto there for the first time.
It appears that being stuck at the Magic screen is normal according to a different (but similar) guide from the Cyanogen Wiki. Would it irreparably damage my phone if I removed the battery despite it being at the "Unzipping" screen for Sappimg (as I was unzipping sappimg for a second time) and proceeding with CyanogenMod's guide instead?
EDIT: It appears my phone just turned off on it's own (battery probably died). I'm going to try CyanogenMod's instructions and see if that works.
EDIT 2: So, I reflashed it with the sappimg that Cyanogen has on his wiki. So everything was smooth sailing until I got to the Recovery step. I cannot, for the life of me, to get it to boot in recovery mode. I hold HOME+POWER but nothing pops up.
EDIT 3: And it appears as if I've bricked it.

Will the rom start? If so, you didn't brick it.
Do you have the Engineering SPL on it? What SPL version do you currently have on there? Remember that if you have the T-Mobile US MyTouch w/3.5mm jack then you MUST have 32B recovery and radio and STOCK (1.33.0013) SPL before flashing a custom rom.
Best way to do it is to flash your custom recovery (I suggest Clockwork Recovery for Mytouch/ION devices) by fastboot.
Afterwards then flash your stock (S-ON) SPL back and then boot to recovery to flash your rom.
REMEMBER!!! YOU DO NOT HAVE A 32a DEVICE! DESPITE WHAT THE SPL SAYS... IT'S NOT TECHNICALLY A 32a DEVICE!!! You MUST treat is as a 32b.

Oh, wow. That explains why I bricked the phone. The Amon_RA Recovery I put on there was 32a... I'm an idiot.
The phone won't start up at all. :/ Looks like I'm out $100 or so.
Thanks for that, though. I was going to give you a "Thanks" but it appears the button has disappeared for me.

If it looks like a brick, if it sounds like a brick then it's probably...

I have a similar problem. I purchased this phone and it just almost works. It boots into fastboot just fine but not recovery. Here are the specifics as they stand now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nice job on probably bricking your phone. You've got the myTouch 1.2 which means you just flashed an incompatible radio. Congratulations!!! I honestly not sure what to tell you. Which sappimg are you trying to use to get the engineering SPL?

Like i said...it was like this when I bought it.
I'm going to try to do a poorman's JTAG...wish me luck.

Good luck! You can do it!
If you have any questions along the way, please don't hesitate to ask.
JTAG did in fact de-brick my MT3G 1.2 (bought from ebay) the first time I tried it. I made the mistake of flashing the stock ROM, so I would get to the "touch the android to begin" screen and couldn't get any further without a data plan. It wasn't until I probably flashed the wrong sappimg in a root attempt that I started experiencing the stuck at unzipping/FAIL-PU/remote signature verify fail problem...
FYI, I tried flashing radio 2.22.28.25 (the one from the OTA) using JTAG and the radata command, and it fixed my USB. I haven't experiemented much beyond that, but I'm planning to try some more things this weekend.
Moderators, I'd like to suggest merging this thread with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773368 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771622 since they all seem to be discussing the same problem.

[Q] HTC Magic stucked/spoiled /bricked!! :@

Hi all, I bought a 2nd hand HTC Magic with Mytouch 3g rom. It's the old model (without 3.5mm headphone jack) and its made in Taiwan.
Been using well for 3 months until what happened I tried doing system update from 1.5 to 1.6. Success!! Then I tried doing 1.6 to 2.1 update.
Halfway while updating it, the phone blacked out ( guess I didnt have more than at least 50 % battery power)
And from that point onwards, whenever and everytime I switched on my handphone it boots up and stucked at the Mytouch 3G green screen.
I cant get access into my handphone like how I normally do. All I can ever go far is just the stucked Mytouch 3g screen.
I've read alot from lots and other Android users and tried to do it myself.
1) Tried unrooting it by downloading the sappimg.nbh file, copy into a newly bought 2GB micro SD, pressing (VOL DOWN+POWER) and let the phone do its job.
Manage to get to the parsing, updating and checking signature part but it just say 'Model ID incorrect! Update Fail!'
2) Next I read is about doing GOLDCARD METHOD. I did as instructions and follow it step-by-step and carefully.
3) I can and able to download all needed files like 1.33.2005 HBoot, Amon Ra's Recovery Image, SappiMG.zip and all others.
BUT the only problem is that I cant get it in sync with the comp.
4) I cant get access at all into my phone to go to Settings > Applcations > Make sure Unknown Sources is checked on as required to.
5) I cant get access into my phone at all to go to Market and download the required File Manager App.
6) I tried installing all kinds of files for update.zip by pressing (HOME+POWER) still to no avail.
Tried all kinds of HBOOT, FASTBOOT still cannot.
7) The only thing I'm able to do is just (VOL DOWN+POWER) , (BACK+POWER) , (HOME+POWER) , (TRACKBALL+POWER) which emits the blue LED light, i don't know the reason. But still, nothing can be done.
And by pressing (BACK+POWER) this is what my phone's motherboard or whatever they call it.

So what should I do now? Is this what they called it a bricked phone? I tried everything and really at lost. Is there someone out there who's able to help me with this? Been like this the past 4months. And Im really a noob with Android Gadgets as Im new to it. Do pardon my ignorance.
Thanks! really need your help. I'll do my best as long there's other alternative methods unless like I've stated the methods that I'm unable to do.

[Q] Mistaken identity :(

well, where to start...i bought my MT3G 1.2 brand new because my original decided to have antenna issues (only cell antenna and only inside a building). so fast forward about a year, after rooting my NEW MT3G, I end up letting a friend use it til he can get a replacement for his. I get the phone back (after his dog bit through the screen) and another MT3G that is broke to use as a donor for the screen. swap screens, salvage other parts to fix my original, and boot up the 1.2.
now here is where it gets...interesting...to say the least. unlike before, where it booted to the MyTouch 3g splash screen, it now thinks it is an HTC Magic...i have been looking and unsuccessfully flashing builds TRYING to get it to what it was so i can upgrade the radio and actually know what i have again.
what would cause the phone to think it is a Magic? was it something in clockworkmod? can it be reversed? and why, for the love of god, can i not flash anything but EZGingerbread to it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, cause im about to pull out what little hair i have left >_<

Sounds like fun!
If you haven't done yet: Download Android-SDK and install it (while installing choose Android SDK Tools, Android Platfrom-tools and Google USB Driver).
Connect your phone to usb and start it to bootloader (fastboot usb, back+power). Open a commandline on your computer and go to "...\android-sdk\platform-tools" depending on where you installed it. Then type
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
and
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
and post the output here.
And please leave your hair where it belongs to! :laugh:

well....that wasnt too bad, i just get <waiting for device> and it hangs
even using CID Getter on the phone itself doesnt give me a CID like it does on my Glacier...i think something may be seriously messed up here >_<

Don't know why it may hang. Does the phone work properly? Maybe just the splash-screen was changed.
Have a look at this thread - there are all official roms for magic and so on. Having a look at your radio the stock-rom on your phone for now may be #56 or #57 (hboot 1.33.0013, radio 2.22.23.02). Only the OTA-update has newer versions.
I don't know if it's worth risking to brick the phone just for this update - only if it works properly at the moment.

It works properly as far as calls and texts and data, but I haven't been able to update the radio or hboot at all, it keeps giving a device id mismatch error

What you can do:
- if you don't have a custom-recovery on your phone install one - try this guide without the optional stuff
- when done install the stock-rom for your phone (via custom-recovery) from official-rom-thread - i don't know if #56 or #57
- root and install custom-recovery again as shown above*
- then you may apply the OTA-update via custom-recovery (#58 from the official-rom-thread)
*I don't know if it's possible just to flash everything except recovery, then you wouldn't need to root it and install custom-recovery again.
That would be the newest versions for your phone.

I have ClockworkMod recovery already installed, and with this being my backup phone, I wouldn't be mad without root at all, though root is nice, I want it to be right lol
Sent from my Gingerbread on Sapphire

So you can flash your phone to official stock-rom and then update it to newest official-rom as i explained above. Or what should i tell you right now?

I tried to flash a stock rom, but with no success, when I get home I'll try again and post the error log

SWEET!!! i got the fastboot commands to come through for me
fastboot getvar cid
cid: T-MOB010
fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 2.53.707.2

And what happens when you try to flash "57) 2.10.531.4 T-Mobile USA DRD35" via custom-recovery (your recovery will be flashed too)?

That is a self installing executable file, when i try to run it, it tells me that it can not communicate with the device, and to make sure that the usb cable is connected and the phone is on, which it is both

so the 57) 2.10.531.4 T-Mobile USA DRD35 flash went finally, turns out, my phone didn't like it too much, because now, i am stuck at the HTC magic splash screen and i think it is bricked

I don't get it, that should have been the correct files for your phone. You're sure that it's a Mytouch 3g 1.2 and not the normal Mytouch 3g?
How did you flash the file?
If you search here you can find "tutorials" how to get the rom-files out of the RUU to flash it in hboot-mode.
Can you get into recovery-mode? What about hboot-mode?

It was a .exe file, so it ran from my computer, and I know it's a 1.2 because I couldn't afford the fender edition lol. Now it just hangs on the splash screen and won't let me do anything at all
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

I think it would have been better to extract the rom-file and flash it with hboot from sd-card... Then you should have been sure about what he flashed.
Maybe now you got some weird radio-system-whatever-mix and that's why it doesn't start.
Normaly you flashed the correct rom-file for your phone.
What you can try:
- remove battery for some time (5 minutes or whatever) and press power - then get the battery back in and try to start it again
- start the phone with Home+Back+Power or Menu+Back+Power (don't remember), in my case there was a menu to erase cache and so on, maybe this would work for you
- is your phone listed in "fastboot devices" when you power on your phone with Vol down+Power, Back+Power, Power, Home+Power or the combination from above? I read that some people are already in fastboot-mode and have text on their display when they see the logo, shown for example here (they had red text on red vodafone-logo):
http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...oter-vodafone-bildschirm-geloest-dsc00624.jpg
If not...
Does bluelight-mode work (i think it's trackball+power)? If so you can get it running with JTAG - you just need somebody who has the equipment and so on. Where are you from?
