Big issues with my mytouch please help

ok let me start by saying i think I was rip off. I brought a mytouch off of craigslist today and it has software problems. That don't sound to bad right?? Its is when I can't install a new rom to fix the issues. The problems that I have is that the camera keeps force closing and i cant download anything from the market. I click download and get an error to forceclose. All I need is to get a file manager on it and I think I should be able to root it and install a new rom. Before you ask yes I hard reset it twice and still have the same problems. Is there a way to install the file manager on the sd and install it? Please help Im new to this Android thing.

Edit: My post was of no help! Lol *sigh* sorry.
I find it weird though that your phone isn't working even with a factory reset...
You did that with home+power right?

Yes I hard reset twice with home+power.

Give this a try, assuming you know how to use adb.
adb install PathOfApkFile\filename.apk
for example: adb install C:\apkfiles\AndExplorer.apk
Just grab andexplorer. I've used it and it's fine

Hope this helps

Nop never used adb before but i'm doing some reading and i think that i can do it with no issues. I'm at work right now so i cant do anything because of the enternet proxy. Do anyone have a appinstaller.apk and a file manager.apk file that they could up load? From what i've read think its the only files i need load on my mytouch so I can root it. Thanks for all of your help....

Thank you very much I will try it as soon as i get home.

My phone is now broken - thanks to RomManager

I just installed RomManager because I wanted to make a backup of my current ROM before trying to play around.
After installing it, I clicked the button to make a backup, and it told me I needed to install ClockworkMod, and I clicked Okay. So it downloaded that mod, rebooted, and now my phone is practically dead.
I mean, it works as a phone and all, but here's the problem:
WLAN stopped working
adb shell does not work
making a local session in ConnectBot doesn't work
doing *anything* in RomManager just does *nothing*
I can still use it as a "phone" to write messages and call people. But I can't do anything else now.
So I tried a factory reset.
This only made things worse.
I now cannot use the market to install apps - it just won't connect, and time out.
Internet works however.
I cannot open a shell in adb shell.
I have no idea what's going on. It feels however like rommanager removed the execution rights of all my files in the filesystem - it would at least explain why I cannot run a shell...
I need help please!!! :'(
Edit:
I just hope that when the official froyo update FINALLY comes, it fixes the problem :/
Edit2:
Okay, after using the factory reset from the settings menu instead of recovery boot mode, I can log into the market again...
WLAN still doesn't work though... so I'm back to where I was before the first factory reset.

Not that I know a lot about this, but if you can still get to download mode, I'm sure you could probably flash the phone.
Follow these instructions h**p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790686 (replace the ** with tt)
Good luck.

What if I'd like to keep the branded version?
Mainly to make sure I can upgrade to the "correct" branded froyo later using Kies :/
Or do you think the registry hack would work for that?
Edit:
i think I can live without wlan for a few days...
Either there is an update available then, officially, or I'll go to the next Drei shop and ask if they can give me the firmware files :S
or flash it for me...
Otherwise I'll have to take the risk of flashing the JPM...

[Q] Is this a bricked phone?

Hey guys, sorry if Im repeating a thread, I looked the first 3 pages and found nothing.
Well, the thing is like this:
I downloaded z4root, xrecovery 0.3 busy box and proceed to root my phone. It all went well, root was succesful, but when I tried to install a custom ROM, that's where I think I screwed up. From xRecovery I went to "install custom zip rom" and tried to install Eminence v1.8. "Installed it" and nothing happened, it all looked the same... the thing is that later I read that this was only an extention of the X10 Res Mod, so I downloaded it and tried to install it, but when I booted the phone it got stuck in the Sony Ericsson text logo and it does nothing more... I need help :/
I can access the xRecovery menu, so I tried to do a Factory reset, but it didnt fix the problem... I dont know if with that I f%cked up things a little more.
PC Companion recognizes the phone being plugged but since I cannot mount it I cannot acces to it.
Is there anything that can be done here? Help much appreciated.

Try SEUS.... Follow instructions and you are back to a straight out of the box clean x10 again....

Thanks, I'll try that and let you know.

cheers

[Q] Can't Update to Android 2.2 Froyo

I was excited that I received a message to update my firmware to 2.2 Froyo, but when I tried doing so I kept getting errors at the installation screen. It would download then go to the installation screen and give me an error.
I'm not sure if I bricked the phone without knowing or something, but I get the following error message when trying to upgrade:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
I have no idea what that is/where it is. I checked my SD Card, but I didn't see anything like that there. I'm guessing I'm missing that folder/file, but I don't know where it would have went or if I can get it back.
I've tried to do the update both through my Bravo and downloading a ZIP file and trying to do it through the Recovery screen. I tried everything Motorola suggests on their website as well as searched Google a lot, but came up with nothing.
I should add that even when I click "applysdcard:update.zip" it gives me a few errors and aborts the installation.
I'm just wondering if there's any way to fix this so I can upgrade my firmware?
Thanks to anyone that can help.

I'm sure there is a solution, but just forget it and install 2.2 SBF.

Yes, I used Root Explorer. I'm guessing by MCFarmfresh's post that there issome sort of original build for the phone? I've looked everywhere for hours all night last night before resorting to asking somewhere, but I couldn't find anything and the "solutions" I've seen all did not work. I kept getting the same errors.
Thank you for replying. If you can help, it'll be very much appreciated.

I have a rooted Bravo and I deleted some of the bloatware, and I received the Froyo update and everytime I download and the system resets I get an error and the update stops. Selecting from memory card doesnt work for me, and I dont have a backup of the original settings to re-install (which I'm not sure how to do that either). If anyone has any suggestions I'm open.

its checking for att apps
if you renamed them name them back to apk

I didn't rename them, I deleted them off my phone.
Sent from my MB520 using XDA App

I don't know much about these things but I would think that would be a bad thing to do...
I was able to get the update to install to my phone but now it is running slow
Any more info on how to fix this issue?

OK, so I tried everything that's suggested pretty much everywhere and I'm still unable to update. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or what, but I've tried resetting the phone via the phone/recovery screen, tried updating via the phone, and I also tried replacing the original build, but nothing worked so far.
I have no idea what else I can do, but any help would be appreciated.

If nothing else works, you can always sbf. It sounds scarier than it really is, actually it is pretty easy. Just make sure you follow the directions. I've done several sbf's and they have all turned out perfectly.

Thanks. I'm not sure what it was, but I switched to my Windows XP desktop (from my Windows 7 Home 64-bit laptop) and the SBF Flash worked perfectly, thanks bandroid, yourself, and others. I really appreciate all of the help given. 2.2 looks and feels a lot better than 2.1 so I'm really happy about that.

If you will give me your email I can get it to you. For the life of me I cannot figure out hhow to attach files through pm using my phone lol. You can also use the .sbf method to upgrade but I'll definitely get the files to you if you send me your email.

SBF'in it...
Okay....so one of your gentleman above (I'm new to the forum ish) stated that he had deleted some apps off of his OS. I did the same thing with AT&T Hotspot Locator (unfortunately, AT&T was quick on merging this standalone app into MyAT&T so I couldn't get the atthotspotlocator.apk back). I fixed this using the SBF file.
I won't give you the step by step but I can tell you RSD Lite is a free program from Motorola. It's basically the program they use to flash boot SW onto an otherwise dead device.
Don't be intimidated by it because it really is rather easy to facilitate. Just do like I did and YouTube how to load an SBF into a motorola device. You can pause and replay as you go along to assure no errors. Takes like 15 minutes once you've got all the necessary files downloaded.

Well, that lasted long...
Everything was going fairly well until this morning when I clicked on the phone button (default launcher) and tried to go into the dialer, then it just closed every time I tried doing so.
To try to fix this I rebooted my phone, nothing; restored, nothing; factory reset, nothing; re-installed 2.2.1 FroYo via flashing the SBF with RSD Lite and 'apply:sdcard:update.zip' through Android's Recovery Screen, nothing.
When I tried doing the last 2, however, I received these errors (the first one I had with the first problem and the other 2 are new):
E:Can't mount CACHE: recovery/command
E:Can't mount CACHE: recovery/caller
E:Can't mount CACHE: recovery/log
Now, with the "caller" error, I did NOT touch anything having to do with the dialer and whatnot. That I know.
The last time I had problems with my laptop so I tried it on my desktop and it worked, but now I tried the desktop and it still isn't working properly. Some of the features that I had with the update are now gone such as the "third party apps" option and the sliding "lock screen" is now permanently present.
Any help with this is appreciated.

[Q] Failing the pattern too many times

Hello
My brother has managed to get this message on his phone, and I don't find any solution to fix it. He don't remember his gmail account, since he has 2 or 3 for some reason and. So every account i have tried gets the same error : Wrong user og password.
Is there any solutions to this, hard reset?
On my own phone I can just use SEUS and reset the phone, but it does not seems like ZTE have a similar program.
Please help!

Is it rooted?

No it's not rooted. It's totaly stock

Ahh I think I know.
Press the Emergency call button and try type this: *983*57#
It's the code for hard reset.

Bummer. The method below should work. Just make sure you put a custom ROM like Cyanogenmod on your SD Card.
I think this would work: http://android.modaco.com/content/z...-gen2-and-gen2-to-gen1-windows-flashing-only/
Please note this will wipe all the phone's data, change the partitions and upgrade the radio. There is a chance of bricking if you interrupt it midway. I did use it and it went well, it does for the majority of people.
The other alternative is go back to the retailer and try get a replacement.
If you're not 100% comfortable with that method above try go to the retailer.
