No you dont flash back to stock through a .zip update. You have to follow those instructions if you want your phone to be unrooted and back stock. Its not a hard process to do
Will this restore OTA update capabilities. I've read on other threads where once rooted it will still download but not INSTALL the updates, anyone know??
Thanks
There doesn't seem to be any guide on rooting the mytouch 1.2 and putting CM 5.0.7 on it, but many people seem to be following the guide at Theunlockr
I just read a few people posting that the sappimg file is corrupted or there was issues, so I'm kind of nervous about using it.
Files I have from Theunlockr
GoldCardTool.cab
FenderWRoot.zip
MT3G Original Radio and SPL.zip
recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img
sappimg.zip
CM 5.0.7
update-cm-5.0.7-DS-signed.zip
Do i also need the google addons? Can't seem to find a link anywhere
I recently rooted my 1.2 using the unlocker's guide, for some reason after I rooted it was stuck at the magic boot screen, but then I just booted into recovery and was able to flash a rom that way... Whats the newest radio right now anyway?
p.s. Yea it's pretty safe if you follow it exactly, just know if you mess up the radio and flashing part your screwed...
yea you need google add on... here it is http://kanged.net/mirror/download.php?file=gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed.zip
you dont need that FenderWRoot.zip... since you're flashing cyanogen 507 instead
oh and that sappimg worked for me when I rooted last month

is there any recommendation or do you know why you have this issue? I read reading some people do a factory reset, but not sure at what step I should do this or if the mean before I even start anything?
Thanks for the help
Well I can say is just follow the directions all the way through, I messed up somewhere along the way but it still worked...Good Luck
Wrong thread, sorry.

Thanks so much for the link and the help. So if i follow the instructions, when it gets to step 10, use update-cm-5.0.7-DS-signed.zip instead of FenderWRoot.zip?
Since the instructions don't cover the google apps, how do I actually install it? I'm trying to read as much as possible before touching anything
Thanks again
right flash cyanogen 507 and then flash the google add on apps right afterwards then reboot...
no need for FenderRoot ROM... its just the old stock ROM
Yep cyanogen has built it into the kernel already it seems....

Not sure what you mean, are you implying I don't need to use the google add on and that it's already part of cyanogen? Thought for legal reasons it had to be seperated
well i followed the perm root instructions and im pretty sure im rooted.. anyway to make sure?
and also, since im new to all this i have a few questions.
first, at the end of the perm root instructions after u do all that rooting stuff it says something about recovery.. what is recovery and do i have to do that? is it recommended? and how do i go about doing that?
and also what is the best and most stable rom out now?
well thats it for now. please help and thanks!
by the way. sorry for the noob-ish questions lol
Most of the roms are in the same place. They're either based on HTC Sense and fully functioning or based on pure google AOSP code and missing a few still.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Speedy for a list
I'm using "AwesomeRom" based on the stock htc code but with sense things removed.
Recovery is the app that runs pre-boot time that lets you choose a rom.
Steps on how to install it are in the second post here:

Flash a 1.32 RUU, then root and do s-off. Simple as that.
As Hawk said. You won't be able to actually preserve it, but have to root it again, as you will lose root by flashing stock.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
what do you mean by "back to stock", if you wanna preserve "everything" it's not really stock!
but, i guess you could restore your nandroid backup... or do what guys above said so!
I assume he wants stock RUU ROM, no custom ROM or kernel, .... but with root intact.
He will lose the root by flashing stock RUU.
So just root again and not flash any custom kernels or custom ROM.
I don't know why, up to him, but he just asked the question, and we provided the answer.

If you are selling it I would guess IMPO, it is better unlocked anyway.
And the same goes for the ROM, I would advise the Ace_HTC_WWE, rather then the _Vodafone one, which proberly has a full of their blow-wear, as you must know what it was like when you purchased it.
But like anything else, the choice is your.
Take Care

yes definatly im going to make sure it has super cid, so yeah ill beusing the WWE version, thanks for your help
very very very much appreciated
EDIT: so i dont need to worry about upgrading the radio? or downgrading?
Follow part of this downgrade thread. You need to DL the PD98IMG.zip file.
As you already have root, skip the adb temp root part, and follow this copied directly from the above guide;
•Put PD98IMG.zip to your SD card. Do not put the file into a folder...... Do not extract
•Reboot while holding volume down, it will go to the bootloader
•Follow the instructions (start the update)
•Done. You can now proceed with old S-OFF methods, and remove the PD98IMG.zip from your SD. I recommend Radio S-OFF for new users.
Then,
Follow this guide for temp/permroot with [URL="http://android.modaco.com/content/software/320350/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/"]visionary and S-off[/URL] using
Easy Radio Tool DL Link at end of 2nd post
Then,
Follow this guide for ENG S-off using the
Easy S-off tool DL link at bottom of page
Hope this helps, just make sure you read every in full at least twice.

umm not sure if you understand where i am, im on a custom rom already mate, im going back to stock, i dont need to downgrade
Well when you follow Upintheair's instructions, you get a stock ROM, and it is not really a downgrade because you do not have to use the command line commands. You do not have to run the radio s-off tool, though. Just run ENG S-OFF tool.
The other way is to flash Raidroid Stockify series ROM, it is a rooted stock ROM that you can flash in clockworkmod.
OK, i recently got the OTA update for 2.3.4 on my T-mobile mytouch 4g. I was temp rooted, as to get my feet wet because I was new to root and the whole android system. I temp rooted with z4root. Can anyone post updates for anything on rooting 2.3.4+? This thread can be for all updates, or for just you guys to help me. You choose, but can you at least help me? thank you!

it will be available when the devs find out a way to s-off. just be patient.
as of now, downgrade to 2.2.1 to root and s-off.
OK thanks. Do you have any estimate on when it will be available? If not, then ok thank you for your information

i'm not responsible for anything that happens to your device.
Just like he said the best way is to downgrade through that method. And perm root either by the advanced way cyanogen wrote up. Or more user friendly ones that just require terminal emulator and not adb. u can find any of them through basic searches or through the development section.

1-click root like Z4root isn't available for any phone with Gingerbread 2.3.4 and up.
Judging by some posts on various boards, it won't ever be available, since developers aren't working on any such solution.
You can read some entertaining read:
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...otloaders-rooting-manufacturers-carriers.html
And remember some things:
1) Since that time, Samsung and HTC has officially declared they aren't going to lock their bootloaders. Actually, Samsung kept it open all the way, and HTC declared they're going to unlock them starting this summer.
2) There was no easy root app for Gingerbread 2.3.4 ever made, even though an exploit exists that allows temp-rooting. Which means - there are no devs interested in making rooting easier than it currently is, or they're prevented from making rooting easier.
About devs not willing to make it stupid easy to root anymore - you might read Cyanogen's post somewhere, also from several months ago.
Ok. I've researched, and found something called GingerBreak, but I don't really understand it.

To restate what Jack_R1 said. There is no root for gingerbread on this phone. It's simple enough to revert back to 2.2.1 and root once you are there.
[in my words]
If you afraid of ADB and the SKD, and you are to lazy to do some research, you shouldn't be rooting your phone anyway.
[/in my words]
now i took the time to put all of the basic information that you'll need in the newcomers thread. Link in my signature. Take your time read though that and you can root your phone. Regardless of the version you are using. And there is a link, with video, for you setting up your ADB.
Thank you all for replys. you can keep them coming if you wish.
neidlinger, in your signature, it says how to root with root.sh. Is this a perm root or temp root? And is it compatible with 2.3.4? How would I unroot?
EDIT: read on xda that all i need to do is download the froyo rom, boot into recovery or hboot (sorry i forgot), and flash it? Am i correct?

In my signatures are methods to root 2.2.x. If you should read my Newcomers thread there is a link for rooting 2.3.4 devices.

froyo rom... you mean the PD151IMG.zip? if it's that, then yes, boot into hboot, and flash.

YES!! How do i get into hboot?
EDIT: sorry, a simple google fixed it. And all i do is flash it, then im on stock froyo and can do any root i want? Will all my contacts and apps be saved and stuff?
Wait how do I flash a ROM from hboot? And afterwards, how do I get out of hboot? Sorry, I just want to be extremely sure I don't brick my phone or f**k it up in any possible way.

well, once you have the PD151IMG.zip in the ROOT (not in any folders) of your sdcard, the bootloader/hboot should recognize it, and will ask you if you want to update. hit yes, and the rest will be done for you. DO NOT PULL THE BATTERY DURING THE UPDATE PROCESS, THIS WILL BRICK THE DEVICE. after that just reboot (first reboot should take longer than usual, it's normal)
if for some reason the bootloader/hboot isn't seeing your PD151IMG.zip, then redownload the zip again.
It did the no image thing... retry? My stats are:
Glacier PVT SHIP S-ON

MICROP-0429
RADIO-26.11.04.03_M
eMMC-boot
Apr 14 2011,13:18:22
EDIT: I connected it to my computer, and the zip file is named PD15IMG and a lot of other things. Do I delete all of that and rename it PD15IMG.zip?
