I have a Rogers HTC Magic 32A with hero rom and was just wondering if there is a way to get the phone back to stock....also i didnt do any backups before i put the hero rom on.
go here: http://downloads.rogers.com/wireles...rs_WWE_2.17.631.2_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
download the file , go through the update, will wipe everything and bring u back to standard android 1.5!!
hope that helps!!
My phone keeps going to the HTC Quality Brilliant screen, then the Droid logo screen, comes up to the slide to unlock, counts up to 100%, then reboots.
I just tried updating to froyo with the update.zip shown here in another thread. The update went through fine, I even tried updating it again, but just keep getting this reboot loop.
Any help would be appreciated!
You might have to RUU back to 2.1. I'm not really sure though, so hopefully someone who has had this happen to them will come in here and know for sure. Good luck!
Got it with the 2.2 ruu
Ok, I just bought a Dell Streak from Rogers Wireless, it has 1.6. Seeing how this update seems to never come, I would like to get the New Froyo build on it. I have rooted a Nexus One before and got Froyo running on it before it was released so my knowledge isn't totally bad. But all these forums and post all over Modaco and XDA are really confusing me. I have no idea where to start. You know, step 1 type thing. Can anyone help me out. This is a locked, un modded streak. Ill update my progress as I go along. Thanks for any help.
Its actually not too difficult. I followed the instructions outlined here.

Remove the - from the beginning and end of the comment.
Basically we go from Rogers 1.6 to o2 1.6 - then from o2 1.6 to o2 2.1 then from 2.1 to Steven's 2.2 (1.1.1 update) then to 2.2 (1.3) all the while following the instructions on how to use fastboot and recovery.
Be sure to note (i had this problem) when you finally get to 2.2, there are people including myself who have been stuck at the Dell logo on boot up. This is fixed by going into the recovery app and mounting the SD card as well as Data. This can also be fixed by a Factory Reset in the same recover options (holding left/right volume at boot)
Hope that helps.
Not Development so will move to General
One thing to keep in mind is that Although 1.3 is great its not without its issues. I'm having trouble with certain built in apps crashing (ie. Camera in HD Record mode)
Ok Im reading the guide. It looks like it will get the job done, but the guide STARTS from and ATT 1.6 or and O2 1.6, I did notic that half way through it talks about downgrading to the 1.6 O2 Rom, so would I use that method to Start from Rogers 1.6 to 02 1.6?
ok now i need help,
I did everything perfect till i got to the Froyo 2.2 (1.1.1) i couldn't for the life of me get my data to work, it just crashed everytime i put in the APN. So I reverted back to 2.1 O2, and now I can't get Clockwork recovery to come up, so i can't move forward again. When I hold the volume and power i get the 4 options. BUT when i click on the update.pkg I get a Android recovery thing in blue that was to do an emergancy recovery and the click to the camera button to start. I can't get a customer recovery back on for the life of me. Someone HELP!
Hey guys, I am a decently experienced android user (D1, D2, Eris, SGS, etc). But I seem to have run into a problem. I had rooted a friend of mines MyTouch Fender months ago, using some root app, I forget which, z4root or one of those.
Anyways, he came to me the other day because he got a new phone, and the MyTouch Fender is semi-bricked, im not sure what he did, he said he was playing with it and screwed it up. Anyways, the phone just stays at the Fender loading screen. I can access hboot, recovery etc. The phone is completely stock, 32A, S-ON Google, etc. So what would be the easiest way for me to get this phone going again? He's given the phone to me for free, and I would like to get it working to give to my gf to replace her crackberry curve.
If someone could point in the right direction that would be great. Unfortunately I have no idea what he did to break it in the first place. I've tried wiping data and cache via stock recovery to no avail. Is there maybe a stock oem update.zip that could be flashed via recovery that would flash it back to stock?
I do eventually want to mod the phone and probably throw CM6 on it, but for now I'd rather just bring it back to working stock. Unless rooting it and custom recoveries would be faster.
Thanks in advance.
It's certainly fixable, but I don't know about getting back to stock. The issue is that no one has an actual stock Fender sappimg (sappimg being a file you flash from fastboot to get completely back to stock). The things you will lose by rooting will be the extra Fender apps and the Fender splash image (the first image you see when booting the phone). That's pretty much all that's missing, but there's a group of guys working on getting it back in order. So it all really depends on what you want to do right now. Do you want to root and install a custom recovery/ROM (which will be the quickest fix right now) or would you rather wait until someone can get a similar stock image put back together?
Since you can't get into the ROM, you'll have to root using the goldcard method. Luckily for you it seems you have an extra Android powered phone around to be able to make the goldcard (you need to be able to boot the phone to complete this process).
At either rate, the best way to go about getting you straightened out would be for you to post the phone's current fastboot information. To do this, turn the phone off, then turn it back on holding the back button+power. Post everything from there.
Thanks man. Here's the info from HBOOT:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
CLPD-13
RADIO-2.22.28.25
For the moment I would like whatever is the easiest way to get it close to stock. My problem is I don't always readily have access to a computer, but I have lots of android phones, lol. I'd like if I could just make a goldcard on another phone if possible, and flash a normal stock image from another dream/sapphire that is compatible. Is this possible?

hello first post
You could flash the stock sappimg for the myTouch 1.2. The myTouch 1.2 is the one that came out after the Fender. Same everything minus the Fender splash screen and apps. It also isn't capable of getting the 2.2.1 OTA update that came out last month. It's also stock 1.6, but it is very stable and pretty fast considering the phone's hardware.
I can tell that you that your friend's phone got hosed doing the OTA update and he could've gotten a Samsung Vibrant as a trade-out if he would've called T-Mobile about the issue, but we won't tell him that.
Rooting would require computer access. Actually, you'll need a computer period. Either rate. Before we do anything, try booting into recovery (hold home+power) and doing a "wipe data/factory reset" and then reboot. We could also try just reapplying the update.
You can hit me up on Google Talk at [email protected] if you want to get this sorted out tonight instead of having to go back and forth.
Do you have custom recovery or stock recovery...
If it is custom recovery, then fixing your problem(s) is pretty straight forward...

Got him on Google Talk. Apparently his friend or the former owner hosed the phone doing the OTA since he's got the new radio and the SPL is untouched. We're going to try re-flashing the OTA update and maybe root later on. He's just trying to get it back working.
Yup. Stock recovery. From what I just got from the guy I got it from, it died after/while doing the ota update. It stuck on the splash when it went to reboot.
My guess its due to the fact I rooted the phone like 8 months ago, and removed a bunch of stuff via adb. Including probably what it considers some critical system stuff.

have a mytouch 3g 1.2 with the old radio and SPL, i acidently bricked it trying to flash the new radio and SPL and now i cant get into recovery or fastboot and the flash screen is frozen, pleassssssee help me get this fixed it has been completel useless for the last week or so
So I gladly ran revolutionary for my evo. I managed to flash cm7 to it and wanted to see if i could get it back to stock just in case i needed to. Well i ran the file and it reboots the phone and tried to get into bootloader. It sits at the HTC screen and then the program states it fails and cannot find bootloader. Im not sure if this is important to people or not, but my evo is only a month old and if i can put it back to stock for warranty purposes it would be awesome. Anyone else try it?
