Ok so I followed cyanogenmods wiki page on how to root and flash his rom to my MT3G(with the exception that after i flashed the DRC83 base zip file the phone rebooted automatically so I went into recovery mode as soon as it happend and flashed cyanogens build) and the phone booted up fine. the little android skater and everything. everything was running smooth(NOTE I DID NOT DO THE 10MB hack) but i tried setting up wi-fi and the phone just restarted. i thought it was probably the first time boot thing people talk about. but then the phone randomly turns off and on while doing diffrent things(such as download apps from market ... texting a message) so i tried flashing another ROM and same thing is happening(dwangs super d rom). is there a reason for this. the guide didnt mention having to change any SPL's or radio's or anything but I keep seeing this around the forum that it has to be changed. is there a guide on how to do that and if so why doesnt CyanogenMods own wiki not mention it?

(im assuming you downgraded to 1.5 using sappimg.nbh from hboot mode, then rebooted and installed flash_rec, backed up image, and then flashed amon ra's recovery image correct?)
so if you did all of that,
do a wipe and then flash DRC83, after that reboot phone and check to see if you are getting any uncommanded restarts. if you are not then reboot into recovery and flash your rom.
what rom are you exactly trying to flash?
My mytouch 3g also got constant reboots, regardless of whether I was actively using the phone or not. This happened with cyanogenmod and with another eclair ROM, but does NOT happen with Enomther's TheOfficial rom. I switched back to that and fixed the problem. I don't know what was causing it for me with the other roms, but it happened fairly consistently every 1-3 hours.
OK CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME IF IM DOING SOMETHING WRONG HERE ILL DO A STEP BY STEP
-COPY SAPPIMG FILE TO SDCARD
-HOLD DOWN VOLUME DOWN AND POWER AND PROCEED WITH UPDATE
-BACK TO STOCK 1.5
-DOWNLOAD APPMANAGER
-MOUNT SDCARD AND COPY FLASHREC 1.1.3 APK FILE AND recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G-green FILE(CARE BEAR FILE)
-ALLOW UNKNOWN SOURCES TO INSTALL
-INSTALL FLASHREC
-BACKUP FLASH
-TYPE /SDCARD/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G-green.IMG
-REBOOT IN RECOVERY(PROBLEMS START. RECOVERY MODE RANDOMLY KEEPS REBOOTING.SOMETIMES AFTER ONLY A COUPLE OF SECONDS)
-OPEN BATTERY COVER AND AND TAKE OUT SDCARD AND PUT IT IN SD ADAPTER AND CONNECT TO MY MAC
-COPY THE ROM I WANT TO USE WHICH IN THIS CASE IS SUPERD193 WITH 10MB RAM HACK
-INSERT SD CARD BACK INTO PHONE AND MANAGE TO WIPE AND FLASH ZIP FILE.
-ROM LOADS UP AFTER AWHILE BUT SEEMS LAGGY
-OCCASIONLY WILL REBOOT FOR NO REASON BUT NOT TO MYTOUCH LOGO BUT RATHER ANDROID SPLASH LOGO WHICH IN THIS CASE IS SUPER D ANDROID WITH ELECTRICTY.

I have a original nytouch 3g rooted, just flashed to the cm6-rc2, it worked fine EXCEPT there's NO market app and gmail app. so i went online to ask and some1 said to install market and gmail i need to have Gapps installed and he showed me to go to Rom manager to get those. I went there and saw google app but to be able to install it, it said i must have the ClockworkMod installed first, so i did then it prompt to reboot the phone...i hit OK to reboot it and the phone just got STUCK on the Booting loop, never got to the home screen, i assumed i bricked the damn phone. basically, iam screwed..please anyone help me to fix it, PLEASE..thanks alot
Can u get into recovery or anything? That shouldn't brick your phone. U need to go to amonra 1.7.0 recovery. Forget that method of gapps. Just download and flash the link. People have been having a lot of problems with your method

well, i tried to turn on the phone by holding home+power, it went to this screen:
ClockworkMOd Recovery v2.5.0.1

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1
if i try to select reboot system now, it wont work, it'll will boot but got stuck on boot screen forever.
i did try to select "wipe data/factory reset" then "wipe cache partition" then select "intall zip form sdcard" then it takes me to my sdcard that shows this:
Choose a zip to apply
-Android/
-clockworkmod/
-dcim/
-lost.dir/
-update-cm-6.0.0-DS-RC2-signed
I select "update-cm-6.0.0-rc2..", wait for it to flash then reboot and the phone still gets stuck on boot screen, seems like nothing fixed..
I assumed the issue is the ClockworkMod messed everything up, but i just don't know how to get rid of it....
sigh....so frustrated...i had an iphone before and it's so simple, if you mess up just restore via itunes and everything goes back to stock.. anyway, please help anyone...please
Did u try downloading amonra 1.7.0 and flashing it?
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
Did u do a nandroid backup before u flashed the Rom? If u did just restore. If u can I have RA-sapphirev-1.7.0g as my recovery. Same phone as u. You're not bricked. Just need to undo what u did.
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
no, i didn't do any backups...stupid me..is there any other way to fix when i don't hava a backup?
Can you get your sdcard to show up on your computer? If you can. Try wiping everything in recovery. Re-partition your sdcard leaving the values as they are. Then download cyanogen 5.0.8 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688262 putting that on your sdcard and flashing it to see if it boots up. Also this is the recovery you should have stayed with. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492 and need to go back to. Page also has instructions on different ways to flash it. Let us know what happens. Use g version at top of downloads btw
Make sure that while in recovery you flash the 5.0.8.zip and then flasht the Google Add-on .zip before rebooting.
Actually I flashed them separate and all was well. Just trying to get you into the os so u can flash the recovery and get rid of Rom manager. If u can't get your sdcard on your comp to load another Rom to boot u might have to change your recovery through fastboot. Then flash new Rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719. More info on fastboot flashing ect.

thanks alot guys for helping, i got it worked again, though. i load cm5.0.8 on another sdcard and flash it, it finally booted to the home screen..however, when i tried to go to recovery screen again by holding home+power to flash gapps app, i still see the white "clockworkmod.." on top and bottom of the recovery screen though...weird..is there anyway to get rid of it??? cause' i think it's installed on my phone but don't know how to go in my phone to delete it. any ideas?? thanks
U still have that recovery flashed to your phone. Download the one I posted put on sdcard and use terminal method on that thread to flash

clock work is fine.... do u still see the options u have? install from zip? after downloading gapp or roms correctly... go into download folder, locate gapp or roms n flash.
by downloading correctly means... having good internet connection and not having data shifting from 3g to e to wateva. plus dont do anything else beside the download. if u lose connection or shifting in connection speed... cancel download n redownload...this will keep download file from getting corrupted during download process... for future referrence - u should do this to everydownload
we r here to help hopefully this will fix ur problem

Hi guys, I just got a mytouch 3g for tmobile, its the orginal one and i run a 1.6 OS. Ive been trying to root it using the guide by candymanmike on this forum, when i try to load a ROM it get stuck on a page with an exclamation mark and if i press home and end i get a list, i try to apply sd:update.zip but it gives me the error that theres no such file or directory, so i decided to wipe data/factory reset, what have i done wrong and what should i do from here, or should i restart the process
which recovery did you flash clockwork or amon ra?
i run clockwork, now when i install the rom cyanogen 6.0 (ive also tried 5.0.7 incase 6.0 isnt meant for my phone) it resets my phone and puts me in the recovery screen, from there i try to do apply the sd card but it says it cant find.
when i tried to use clockwork i never even made it to the recovery menu so i used rom manager to flash amon ra and didn't have a problem after that but if you got to the recovery menu using clockwork you have a different problem than i thought you did
You need to make sure the rom you're flashing is on the root of the sd card. Not in any folder, just right there on the sd card.
So i'm trying to install KaosGingerbread and cannot get Google apps installed.
I've tried the 12/18 one and it causes a boot loop. Then I tried the 12/28 ones and it flashes, loads, but the google apps dont show up. not even the setup wizard runs. anyone got any suggestions?
I've tried an older version of KGB, i've tried formatting my sdcard, deleted the /sdcard/android-secure folder. but to NO avail. i've looked at the celb thread because i saw a few posts about that a week ago but none of the solutions there worked.
the latest Gapps 12/28 doesnt even flash over celb but the 12/18 one does. anyone have an idea why this is happening?
EDIT: at the advice of someone from the CELB thread i installed clockwork via rom manager booted to recovery from the end button it boots to amon-ra, went into rom manager it boots to clockwork, rebooted because i accidentally went from wipe(because of the damned 9 no's before a yes) and double clicked to reboot and just battery pulled and it booted to ra again.....so i somehow have 2 recovery's installed.....
EDIT 2: okay when i clicked boot to recovery from rom manager again it went into ra, unpacked clockwork and then booted into clockwork.....(after saying it replaced the stock recovery)
EDIT 3: still didnt work going to try to find a different version of the 12/28 package and compare md5's
FWIW, what you are experiencing with Clockwork is the way it is supposed to work: you launch it from within ROM Manager. If you cold-boot the recovery partition, you will get Amon_RA. It didn't work that way in the distant past, but that's the way it works now.
Part of the confusion results from the fact that the program which manages the on-screen menus is /sbin/recovery - when Rom Manager says "replace the recovery", it means that program, not the entire recovery partition. That's why you see the Amon_RA menu appear briefly - and then it disappears and gets replaced by the ClockworkMod (/sbin/recovery) menu.
All of this happens in the booted ramdisk - so the the recovery partition is untouched, and ClockworkMod only lasts for that boot.
Try doing this :
1. flash KGB and before rebooting flash the gapps pack from recovery
2. reboot
3. enjoy kaos goodness (i also recommend having setcpu clocked to 710 to get the lag down)

flashing gapps before reboot causes a bootloop
Ok so I originally rooted my phone and put Fresh ROM on it, there was a little hiccup in the install but I didnt really think much of it, recently when I tried to flash a new ROM (I tried multiple ones just to be sure it wasn't the rom) but whenever I try to flash the ROM (using clockworkmod from recovery mode) it will say the install was successful but when I reboot it will do one of two things: stay on the "HTC EVO 4G" startup screen or continue to turn off and on like its in a bootloop. Does anyone have any ideas whats happening and what I should do? I have tried clearing/wiping all of the options that are available in clockworkmod and even tried using a new SD Card but it still does the same thing

Hi there. First off, I need a little more info, like which rom you are trying to flash right now. Also, what radio's and pri do you currently have?(menu>settings>about phone>software info, radio is baseband) If you have the older radio and PRI, (same as the ones in my sig), and you are flashing to a 3.70 software ROM, which most likely you are, you will need to either flash a custom kernel, while in recovery, just after flashing the rom (before you boot). Or upgrade your radios. If you have already updated your radios, and you're still experiencing this, I would first and foremost, switch to Amon Ra recovery (which version of clockwork are you on, btw?). The easiest way to switch to Amon Ra, is to get Rom Manager from the market. Use rom manager to "flash clockworkmod reocovery" (even though you already have clockwork, do this) Then scroll down, and you'll see "flash alternate recovery". Select that, and let it flash Amon Ra for you. Shut the phone down, and manually boot into recovery (vol down+power). Use amon's recovery to do a full wipe, (data, cache, davlik cache x3) Then flash calkulin's format all.zip. That will ensure a good wipe. Then follow my above mentioned instructions, and try again. That should work. If it doesn't, report what the exact errors are here. Good luck
Maybe this is a stupid question, but are you able to nand restore to a rom where your phone will actually boot up?
Calkulin format all zip is your best bet. It will wipe your system data, data, cache and dalvik cache. A full purge.
Just have a good zip like chris sprint lovers rom. And better yet a PC36100.zip from chris all in one update thread.

Here's a few suggestion:
Change your radio version - Some kernels don't work right with the newest, and some don't work right with older ones.
Change your kernel - This is always the best suggestion IMO. For a sense based ROM run one of netarchy's latest kernels. Often a bootloop is because of a kernel/radio issue.
Plus with netarchy and setcpu you'll get some wicked battery life.
Try wiping everything, and then try again. Also try flashing a different rom

when i try to flash from clockwork mod it just blinks right quick but doesn't do anything.. all the things are up to date .. can anyone help?
when i flashed amon ra and flashed rom.. it says E: can't find update script..

Hello,ive installed gingerbread yoshi rom,but i want to delete it and install the cyanogen mod rom(stable),for my mytouch 3g original.Now how can i do this?ive looked anfd foudn nothing,and also,the downloaded file(rom)from cyanodegn mod rom its 55 mb's,so i just put the whole zip folder into the root of the memory card and go into recovery mode and install from zip?anyways i hope somebody can help,thanks
The only thing you need to do is to put the cyanogen.zip into the root of your sdcard and then boot into recovery and select "flash .zip".
Next time you flash a custom rom I recommend you to make a nandroid backup (this will backup all data including rom). If you don't like the rom you just flashed you are able to recover nandroid backup.
i did that and it gets stuck on the green mytouch screen.i wiped all data,cache partition,then intalled rom from zip and nothing

First, I would superwipe. You can download it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834812
Boot into recovery, and assuming you are on amon_ra or clockworkmod recovery, choose intall from zip and run superwipe. Power down the phone and boot back into recovery. Now install Cyanogen mod and you should be fine.
Make sure you have the right cm file for your phone. I don't recall seeing what version of the mytouch you have. For example, if you have the original mytouch with the 32B, and If you updated the radio and spl when you installed Yoshi ginger, make sure you get the cyanogem mod 6.1 for the 2708 radio.
Good luck.
try yoshi froyo
Sorry, forgot to add this....
you may also want to try Yoshi Froyo rather than cyanogenmod.
