I downloaded the USPL file and followed all the steps, put the ROM that I wanted which was a 6.1 in the RUU folder, made an AS connection and ran the USPL. When I finished the Updater said it had failed with a Code 270 error message, but the RUU screen in the USPL said it had completed successfully. When my phone booted, I had the same ROM, same information as before I flashed it....what am I doing wrong? I am not shy about flashing my phone, I'm just missing a step or something. I removed my SIM and SD card to flash, that is correct also right? Suggestions would be appreciated because now that I have my Wing, I plan to try out many 6.1 ROMS until I find one I like. Also, can anyone tell me how I can get the latest most up to date version of Open Touch....when I click on the link it goes nowhere and ttrans says he's working on it, and then I saw another link where another person has started working on that ROM, Can you provide correct links so I can read about what's going on with that? Thanks!
Typically I have to try a few times before my ROM flashes right usually 2 or 3 tries. I get the same message too just give it another try.
Hi gang,
Any progress to report on rooting Sapphire 1.6 Tmobile ROM? I know it's early and people are still receiving the OTA update, but I'd imagine that most have received the 1.6 update OTA by now.
Also,... looking for direction on ROMs containing NATIVE EAS (Exchange Activesync).
Thanks

Tmobile MyTouch 1.6
Yeah Please someone!
I just spent 5 hours trying to root this tmobile mt3g 1.6 and had no success. My copilot quit on me after 1.6 upgrade, trying to go to cm 4.1.11.1 which I heard was the latest version that works with copilot.
I did the OTA update to 1.6, and then downgraded to 1.5. Once I did that, I used flashrec to install cm-updater 1.4, and from there it was a piece of cake to flash Cyanogen's latest (4.1.999) mod.
Here is the link to the image you need to put on your phone: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BLM4EDGE
Download that file, make sure it's named sappimg.nbh, reboot holding power and the volume down button. It will find the file and ask you if you wanna flash, say yes. Once you've rebooted you'll be in 1.5... now you can install flashrec and from there install a recovery image (like Cyanogen's Recovery 1.4).

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
those are instructions to unroot........
I believe that Relentless Rooter might be able to handle even the 1.6 firmware. Also, Superboot by Paul @ MoDaCo should also do the trick.
Do a little research, and I'm sure you'll find exactly what you're looking for. Best of luck.
I've tried Relentless Rooter. Problem is, I'm on Windows 7. Doesn't seem to like the USB drivers. I'll give Superboot a try.
Thanks!
Just tried Superboot. Received "FAILED (remote: not allow)". I thinks it's my SPL (1.33.0006).
Thanks for the suggestion though.

someone correct me if im mistaken but i always thought you had to go from Donut (1.6) to Cupcake (1.5) and then flashed a rom with a Donut ... That's how is supposed to be right?
//EDIT: I found this @ TheUnlockr
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-root-a-donut-phone-android-1-6/
Tried the Unlocker already but without Unrooting back to Cupcake. Now forgive me but, even unrooting back to Cupcake will still leave me with the same Radio and SPL, correct? I have the 0006 SPL which I thought was the issue with rooting.
The recovery image doesn't flash the Radio and SPL also or am I confused?
Thanks
Hi, Im new to rooting but i'm having alot of problems. i have a mytouch 3g
Ive looked at every post on many many different sites and nothing has helped.
I try an downgrade to 1.5 but when i get to the screen (using volume down and power) it says the version i have is older and doesnt run it.
I loaded a apk and installed it. when i click backup revoery image it says failed...
when i click the "hidden" button on the right, and click flash 1.4...it says falsh failed.
i tried loading a recovery image and typing it into the screen and it still says failed.
I am competely lost. I want to put on this 2.1 ROM that i found that has the camera working an everything but i cant figure it out.
Someone please email me with the intructions or what im doing wrong. I rerally want 2.1 on my mytouch 3g
Hi, i have a problem, I need some help solving it.
I have branded Hero (G2 Touch) on T-Mobile. Being tired of waiting for T-Mobile to release their branded 2.1, I followed some instruction on this board and installed generic 2.1. Sadly, the instruction used the RUU for directly installing 2.1 and I did this^^
When I try to install an old 1.5 RUU (t-mobile or generic) I always get the error 140 bootloader version.
I then tried the rooting method, now I managed to install the Amon Ra's Hero Recovery and that works quite good, as I now can use nandroid again (I couldn't do since the 2.73 update).
I managed to restore some backups that were on 1.76, and I had android 1.5 installed again, but still I couldn't install the 2.73 RUU, still getting the bootloader error.
Now, either somebody can tell me how to install the RUU, so I can get back to original t-mobile ROMs and can use OTA to get from 2.73 to android 2.1,
or, somebody could send me a nandroid backup with 2.73 installed.
there might be another possibility: I extracted the rom.zip from the T-mobile 2.73 RUU and tried installing it via recovery... I got an error while opening the file (bad).
has anybody an idea how to solve my problem? pls don't tell me 'install custom roms' i heard that often enough and simply don't want to (though I might give it a try as soon as working sense 2.2 ROMs are ready)... i want to get back to official T-Mobile ROMs
thanks

You'll need to use this guide (http://villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=375) to make a goldcard, and downgrade using the HEROIMG.zip method (google it)
it doesn't work... I took the rom.zip, renamed it HEROIMG.zip and put it on my sdcard.
hboot finds it, loads it and then says "Main Version is older! Update Fail! Do you want to reboot device?"
what can I do now?
Have you checked to see if your goldcard has definitely worked?
it definitively is a goldcard, as I used it to install generic ROM on T-Mob device... still doesn't work now... but the problem is not that I try to install a ROM that's not meant for my device (thats what I understood goldcard does), but the problem seems to bee the bootloader-version the 2.1 RUU brought.
what can I do now?
Same thing happened t me a while back, I just re-tried every step from scratch and it worked the third time...!
what exactly did you do then? I tried so many things, at least I want to know, which steps to repeat over and over again
Just going to have a look at it for you, I am going through the processes as we speak so if I find a solution I will post back.

I want to get back to 2.73.111.26 (that is a T-Mobile ROM) so I can apply official T-Mobile OTA updates (by the way, I managed to get to VillainROM 12.0 yesterday, but went back. I want to use official ROMs...)

Hello, i recoverd my HTC desire HD with clock work mod, i had my original rom backup since before so it was easy. Now my phone have this info in it:
Android 2.2
1.32.405.6
12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
When iam trying to update the ORIGINAL rom i get instantly a triangle with a "!" sign in it and nothing happens, whys that?
I have searched for some hours but no info on it, can it be becasue i might be rooted?
Updates will not work as you have modified the system partition.
If you find a suitable RUU to flash, this will revert the modifications and allow you to update.

Aha, okey then i need to read about RUU then i guess. Any good link for me? or ill just google, thanks!
Just search "RUU" in the DHD development forum. You should find a post by xmoo or football.
I took a original RUU and stil i cant update, anything more left that i missed? I mean i had original backup and everything before i took a custom room, is the impossible or what...
What did you do with the RUU? Did you run the ~.exe file?
I saw a thing now, i update RUU with a file size 10mb, file name was 1.32.406 something, is this only a OTA? I think i didnt get a RUU, iam abit confused ot the diffrent. Found a file now sayin RUU_ace_HTC... that is a big file, so i rename this to PD98IMG when i update?
The RUU should be atleast 200MB+ Its not an OTA. Its a complete package.
RUU = ROM Update Utility. You will need the one that matches you current firmware 1.32.405.x. Download it and run the ~.exe file. It will guide you through the process.
Thanks man for the help, i sorted it out and found a new RUU, the last one was an update or something weird =S. AFter som HTC sync problem finally it was solved, have been workin on this problem for a couple and month back and fourth to just get to original rom.

You could just flash this one made by Nitr00 and should get updates, should there even be any anymore, again.
