Alright so I am trying to install the new leaked version of froyo 2.2 I need to upgrade my radio to 2.x I have followed all instructions and when i boot into recovery i just get a bunch of green warnings one of which is imagine not found or something like that it moves to fast to read. Any suggestions someone? I have tried to post this in that forum but its way to busy and it just gets lost with no response.
Did you root the leaked Mota before trying to apply the zip?

Neither do I. Typo. The stock keyboard sux. So you are rooted? That should clear up problems. If not, then it wont work.

Unroot, apply ota , reroot, apply froyo.
Ps. Apparently Mota is the autocorrect for ota on my phone.

You're probably having the same issue I did at first...plug your phone in to your PC, mount your sdcard, save anything off of it that you need, and reformat it as FAT32...the phone formats it as straight FAT. Reload PB31IMG.zip onto the root of your card and try again.
Have fun.
I just switched to a different msd card and it work now im stuck on getting the radio flashing after I unrooted i swear this phone has it out for me
EDIT!
All is working perfect now I am now running Froyo 2.2

Can't we just begin a Flash of the latest 2.1 leak onto the device and find a point in the middle where we remove the battery causing the device to lose the build number. This would allow it to put 1.5 on because it has no build number and would assume 1.5 is an upgrade...
Has anyone tried anything like this?
It may be a dumb idea that will just brick the phone.
As far as I know this would just brick your phone
would result in a brick.

I tried the battery pull on my Eris during a flash. Didn't work for me maybe I pulled it out at wrong point.
I think the boooader is still newer so it would only allow me to flash a same or newer image.

wait.....what??
I would STRONGLY advise against pulling your battery during a flash.
A few individuals tried this for us while we were trying to find a downgrade and we ended up with a few bricks and NO successes, so the chances are pretty high that you WILL BRICK IF YOU DO THIS.
Downgrade from 2.1 to 1.5
I'm sure we would all love to know how to do that

You mean you had a rooted 1.5 then loaded a 2.1 rom then loaded a 1.5 rom i assume? Since 2.1 isn't rooted yet so you can't go from 2.1 to 1.5.
I think Failure is confused, and is confusing others in the process. Use identifiers like 2.1leak or 2.1root to avoid misunderstandings in these threads that are viewed by both leakers and rooters. I think he meant he has 2.1root and either went back to 1.5stock or 1.5root.

Yeah. I tend to be a pretty heavy lurker in the 2.1leak root project threads and don't remember anyone saying that there was a downgrade available. I'd have been all over that in a heartbeat.

hes slightly mistaken
as 11BE-5 mentioned, that downgrade is from ROOTED 2.1 to 1.5. there is no downgrade for leakers.
Would there be anyway to get another 2.1 3rd party ROM on there? I have a friend with a 2.1 Eris that was updated via RUU from someone internally at Verizon. Tried to flash it back to 1.5 and the RUU would say it couldn't communicate with the phone after a minute or so once it started trying to flash. The 2.1 ROM isn't a root ROM, so is there anyway to go back to 1.5??
@unrevoked
unrEVOked forever v1.1 is now available. S-ON, more EVO radios and CDMA Hero: http://unrevoked.com/forever
@unrevoked
Amazing work from Sebastian Krahmer. His latest exploit also works on Froyo 2.2 on the EVO: http://c-skills.blogspot.com/
Looks like we now have what we have all been waiting for.
Update: I Followed the last link I shared on here for the guide and have successfully rooted my evo. So if you want your evo rooted go the the development forum and follow the guide. but here's the link again if you need it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765496
i was thinking this as well.. but thinking about it further.. unrevoked rorever requires a custom recovery to be installed first. to get that custom recovery you need to run unrevoked 3. unrevoked 3 still has the disclaimer: Unrevoked 3 does NOT work on Stock Froyo (Android 2.2) Phones
:-/
Yeah, little skeptical still.. Wish I wasn't at work, I'd try it out.
It looks like unrevoked found the exploit to get into the phone now and then you have the programs to run it. They will probably update something to show us how to do it all together.
But they found out how to get in that's all that matters.
So from what I'm understanding is the new way to root the droid 2 is the same exploit that works for the evo and will work.
Here's the thread for the droid 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764950
So from what I understand is if you follow those instructions it should work.
@unrevoked
If you're desperate to root an EVO with Froyo, watch this space for a downgrade/unrevoked^3/unrevoked forever method: http://bit.ly/dg2Fu4
nice ill wait until this method is thoroughly tested on the evo, but glad to see 2.2 rooted!
DAMN! This will lower the value of my EVO when I go to sell it in about a week. Booooo!
Great, now I can send by mine back for replacement since my 4g keys are borked.

Follow the last link I posted under the update on the first post.
not to sound ignorant, but what does this new root entail ? caz i have evo (came with 2.1) did root it with unrevoked forever and have been using custom froyo roms. currently i am using fresh evo 3.1.0.2.
so back to my original question, what does this new root do? is it just for the new evos which comes preloaded with 2.2?
thanx
It works great! A little lengthy but well worth it!
All it is.. is to make root for people who had 2.2 froyo or had it installed when bought.. brings it back to 2.1 so you can root your evo.

Since I didn't want to unrevoke and have full access I actually used the step tell it asked for me to unrevoke so my phone was on 2.1 and then I went for another rooting option for 2.1 and it all worked and I'm not on the CM6 nightly. It is wonderful and it's amazing how much more I can do now.

There's no root available for the OTA.
I am on a Thunderbolt but I am helping some friends today upgrade to a rooted version of GB using P3droid's method listed previously in this Thread. My question is, during the install while in CWMod recovery do I need to format system/data/ and Cache and then Mount system before installing the individual zips? It isn't clear to me in the instructions. A response would be much appreciated, Thanx

Hello everyone,
Any help you guys can give will be much appreciated.
I have a MyTouch 4G previously running Froyo, rooted and S=Off. Against better judgment, I decided to put this release of Gingerbread 2.3.4 on it:
PD15IMG_Glacier_Gingerbread_S_TMOUS_2.19.531.1_Radio_12.58.60.25_26.11.04.03_M_release_200756_signed.zip
Though everything seems to work fine, I lost root. Contrary to most other accounts from other people who flashed the same file, S=Off remained on my phone.
I would really like to get root back so I can use some of my apps again.
Visionary stops at a black screen.
Gingerbreak runs forever with no success.
What other means can I use to get root back or am I SOL for now until someone figures out how to root 2.3.4 on the MT4G?
Thanks again.

From what I could find in the forums, you are kinda stuck till someone comes up with another exploit in order to gain root and s-off

I am stuck in the same situation, except that I updated first to the official gingerbread rom for mytouch 4g and then tried to root my phone, i.e. the phone was not rooted at all.
I'm quite confident an exploit will be (re)written - just a matter of time. It's just that I couldn't use some of my paid apps.

lOOK AT WOLF26915's post use the G2 instructions to temp root using the fre3vo exploit in adb then change your version number to 1.17.531.2, then your bootloader will allow you to use the 2.2.1 PD15IMG update to get back to stock and root.

That was 20 years ago. And yet, even then, when I wanted to know something; I searched and searched and searched, and searched again. Then I read and read and re-read over and over and over again. And after all that if I still didn't know then I would ask. But I would also ask in a proficient manner.
Too many young kids jumping in on the Android bandwagon and wanting to root and flash Rom's right out of the box without learning first.
I stand by my first statement.
If you had Radio S-OFF, you should be able to flash an unsigned PD15IMG.zip even though you lost root.

Interesting. msm_rotator is I believe the exploit used in Fre3vo.
I wonder if this would work to downgrade the HTC Panache from Mobilicity to an MT4G ROM?
I also downgraded back to 2.2.1 then updated to the rooted 2.3.4 and it works
Here is the pc10img.zip file that is available from T-Mobile stores. Make sure your phone is fully charged before you attempt to install it, the demo I installed it on would not install unless the battery was 100%.

Great, thank you! Not looking forward to reinstalling all my apps but downgrading again from 2.3.3 would have been a lengthy process as well.

I hold out hope that someone can unpack and build a rooted flash out of this. Otherwise, it's going to be just like the leak in that once you flash it you're left sitting around waiting for someone to do something...anything with it.
Mad props to the OP for putting this up. This should definitely get a ball rolling since we now have the FULL PC10IMG ROM flash version of the newest build/GB available for the G2.
Interesting too - the newest stuff (tp's) in that archive are 7/29/2011 - soooo fresh
Thanks for uploading this file. I updated my G2 last week. Kinda odd the update zip I used was only 73.1 MB and this one is 131.MB almost doubled. What is the differance between the two files. It seemed to update just fine from 2.2 to 2.3.4. Everything is running just smooth. Unless there are files and apps that I might be missing. I might give this a try again. Currently running 2.3.4 unrooted with S-ON. Still waiting for someone who can fully root the OTA 2.3.4 with S-OFF. Anyone know about the update zip that was leaked last week? Should I flash this one instead or keep what I have?

The update.zip is an update from 2.2 to 2.3.4. This PC10IMG.zip is the whole operating system. You can be on the first OS that shipped with the phone (2.2 but before wifi calling) and still use this file. To use the update.zip, you must be running the update that included wifi calling.
PC10IMG.zip will factory reset your phone.
Just like blink said, this is the full system image, the update essentially just includes the updated code not the entire image.
My hope is that this will help the developers intigrate this into their roms.

No no, what this is is a stock 2.3.4 image created from the PC10IMG that will not overwrite hboot, will not kick you back to stock recovery, will not update your radio and is rooted.
Just flash it with CWM.
just wanted to say this worked to upgrade the leaked 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 . you lose your apps but that's not a big deal
thanks!!! i had the leaked 2.3.3 and was gonna go through the painful process of downgrading then upgrading to 2.3.4
but this file saved all that work! wuhu!
