Hi
similar to an other thread here if tried to change my SPL
and never recovered.
I can still get the blue led going using TrackBall + EndCall buttons.
The orange led lights up when I connect the usb cable.
But I cannot see it from the pc in any way (adb/fastboot).
there is some life in it but not a lot, have not seen the screen light
up at all.
Would it be possible to get a new bootloader/spl on it? Perhaps using
some kind of automatic update mechanism that is build in using an
update.zip file on the sd card?
Any help is more than welcome.

hmm, post needs al least 10 chars... should be enough now...
Has everyone also drawn a blank on this?

Try downloading the ruu from your phone's official reseller.
T-Mobile USA standard OS.
Assuming that you backed up using Nandroid or something to SAVE and STORE your originally packaged Android 1.5 (Cupcake) version from T-Mobile...you NEED to restore that properly using a recovery image. Amon_RA has a great one, so does Cyanogen, obviously by now I'm sure you're aware. But keep in mind, to get back to that state...you must be careful not to alter any necessary files on that standard OS.
Do some Google searching and try to track down a Cupcake 1.5 download from one of those sites that leaked it or something. That's your best bet. Right now you don't need to be worried about continuing on from where you are. You need to backtrack and begin anew.
Sorry to hear that. I was thinking of installing Haykuro Apps to SD ROM and it needs to change the SPL. But I think not worth taking a risk.
Can you tell a little bit more which ROM were you planning to install?
Which SPL did you update to?
Which ROM did you have at the time of SPL update?
Which thread or instructions did you follow if any?
Hi
@mrjunix
I have a google ion, and therefore cannot return it unfortunately to the
carrier, as there was none. I went to the Google IO conference but
I am back in Europe and there is not support here.
btw what do you mean by RRU??
@Reignzone
I do have a nandroid backup but I cannot get back into recovery mode,
or fastboot mode or anything... the pc does not recognize it either.
@technicolor
I installed the Cyanogen recovery image and was able to install
one of his rom's. It worked fine but then I wanted to install
a Hero rom and I wanted to update the SPL.
Used the cyanogen recovery to update the spl using an update.zip
file. the phone restarted the "android" update screen came on
briefly and it never came back on...
changing the recovery rom should not be an issue,
and normally I think you do not need to flash your spl at all any more.
you can do a lot with the fastboot mode and one of the recovery roms
mentioned by Reignzone

This is the same advise you gave me yesterday on my bricked MT3G, but if you can't enter recovery mode, a nandroid backup ain't gonna help much, is it?
Also, any cupcake downloads are not going to help either, if you can't fastboot or enter recovery.
I appreciate you trying to help, but if you pay attention to the OP (and my own post), you'll see that your advise isn't going to solve anything.
For starters:
My advice to have those of you who are in need to take an approach that allows you to backtrack you work. Perhaps you left out various details of your issue or process taken in order to end up where you're at.
Your bitterness isn't appreciated for my having misread the problem.
YOU are the one with the F***** device, not me.
Anyway, all that aside; you might try to read-up on various threads that could be of some help. Google search, HTC support, ADB, etc.
There's always something to be done.
Good luck.

forum puffering aside, RUU is ROM Upgrade Utility
Prepackaged programs that bypass the phone's software altogether to reflash the rom
My carrier is Rogers of Canada and I have their "HTC Magic" phone
Be warned that Rogers is intentionally altering their hboot to disable system changes, you may not be able to cook your os after using this rom update.
Their updates page
https://your.rogers.com/web_auth/techsupport.asp

Guide To rooting mytouch 3g 32b (Even if you have 1.6 update)
Propz to:Amon_RA, andreev2001, Cyanogen, and any one else sources I used
Ok after Searching the forums and finding all types of ways to root a Mytouch and having some/no luck I decided
to created a thread that goes into complete detail(or try to at least) about each step that is guaranteed to work if done correctly.
READ
This guide does not require a goldcard or adb . I am also not responsible for bricked/broken phones. Now since that's out of the way happy rooting!!
IF your phone is currently running 1.5(cupcake) already then skip to step 3
1.First of all we can't really do anything with 1.6 so we must downgrade to 1.5 by downloading this sappimg.nph and installing it
2.Once downloaded put it on your sdcard and reboot and go into hboot mode (Hold END+VOLUME DOWN). Preform the update
3.Once update is COMPLETLY finished and it asks you to reboot. Do so, then load your phone up fully and download this apk here (flashrecovery.apk) then run it.
Skip these steps and go to step 4 if you know how to install a apk
3a.to install this apk you have to enable the install unkown source in your settings. To do this hit menu >Settings>Applications>Unkown Soruces(check this).
3b. After this go to the market and download a app called "Astro" (the description should mention somthing about file manager) or you could use another apk installer but I prefer this one.
4. After installing the apk run it and click on “backup recovery image” let it do what it does then click on “Flash Cyanogen Recovery 1.4″.
5.Once that is done you want to download the SPL by clicking here, then put it on your sdcard. After that download any ROM(If you dont know what a ROM is search, I cant tell you everything ) of your choice and rename it "update.zip" without quotes then place it in your sdcard
6.Reboot your g1 and hold down the "HOME" key and it should bring up the flash image recovery screen. Choose apply any zip from sd and then choose "update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2005-signed.zip". It finishes almost immediately with message saying successfully flashed(if it doesn't you prolly ate to much chicken ).
7. Then after it is installed select the restart option and then load into fastboot mode (Hold "BACK" arrow key while its restarting). Once fastboot is loaded the SPL info should say HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP30000). If it does congrats almost there!!!!! If it doesn't, you did somthing wrong and you need to retrace you're steps.
8.Exit fastboot by hitting the "GREEN" button and before the phone boots up hold the "HOME" button and then go to "apply sdcard:update.zip". Let it install and VOL LA you installed your ROM. Preform a reboot and you will now have a rooted phone with a custom ROM
1) thanks for posting, ive tried to follow other instructions over the past few days to no avail
2) any chance of hosting the sappimg.nph file somehwere else? I cant access rapidshare from my phone. I would greatly appreciate it.
OMG SOOO EASY!!!! Mods should sticky this as the new root / rom upload process
I was running android 1.6 on tmobil mytouch 3g with perfected spl 1.33.2006
@ascis sure ill host the files on my website later (im not @ home right now)
@nonmindo thanks and i hope u had a easy time rooting

Thanks for posting - much appreciated. Can I ask what the benefit of changing the SPL is? Is this required?
My concern is regarding warranty - if I flash a new SPL, it is my understanding that I will not be able to flash my current one back, and hence return the phone to stock if the need arises.

Yes, it is required. You cannot root with the MT3G SPL, so you need to change the SPL.

You can flash it back to the original SPL. You would then be unrooted. Look at Amon_RA's original rooting process with Gold Card. At the bottom, he gives directions on how to return your phone to the unrooted state in case you need to do that.
Thanks, I thought with one-click-root, once you'd got the recovery rom flashed, you were done - that you had root and could flash what you liked.
For the record, I'm Voda 32B, but have perfected SPL .0007.
[EDIT] Yes, that thread has a file to return to stock, but only for MT3G, which is why I am hesitant to flash a new SPL to my device.
I've still seen in lots of places mind, that suggest this process works without the flashing of a new SPL. Such as: http://www.ryebrye.com/blog/2009/08/16/android-rooting-in-1-click-in-progress/
[EDIT]
What happened to the ability to format and
and put partitions from the recovery? I just got another Mytouch and rooted it and no ability to put the partions from the recovery mode? I think I had version 1.2 and now I have 1.4

You still can, but not with the recovery img ur using wirch is cyanogen 1.4. Just flash amans new recovery img and you will be able to partion
4. After installing the apk run it and click on “backup recovery image” let it do what it does then click on “Flash Cyanogen Recovery 1.4″.
backup failed:I received that could not run command

I have rooted my myTouch3G with the 1-click method (twice actually, needed to take it to the store), and I have the perfected SPL 1.33.2006.
The main issue with this SPL is that it does not allow you to use fastboot. As far as I know, this has nothing to do with root access.
Can confirm that I've performed the OP's procedure but *without* flashing a new SPL, and everything is working fine.
Now running CyanogenMod 4.2.2 w/ CM Recovery 1.4.
Does anyone have the link to the partitions recovery? I tried to put the Hero recovery on and it does not want to come on and I still show the Cyanogenmod v1.4 +jf....someone help
Also in the top it has Andriod system recovery (2)? I did it twice, how do i take one off?

Gday all im a bit lost in the android forums so im just going to do a noob thing and ask for some assistance, thanks.
I just installed the "[30 DEC][DFT]LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM" rom over top of my last rom from WINMO, which was the Energy jan 6 rom.
I also installed the latest Radio "Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14" and HSPL3 along with "MAGLDR112" everything went sweet upon install, so i have no real questions regarding that but im wondering how i can boot back into WINMO if its possible?
If i reboot the phone it just auto loads into Android.
Also i would like to know what the best Android rom is for reliability and secondly how would i update the roms as new version are released?
I think thats about it for now, the rom in currently using feels smooth and great the apps work fine but it feels a little locked down compared to the WINMO but it hasnt crashed on me in the past day which WINMO would have by now, lol.
To flash back winmo, simply go into bootloader/tri color screen. This is done by holding vol down, then powering up.
I'm not going to answer which is the "best" android rom, as that has been asked many times, where there are many answers for, so, search it up.
Updating differs. If it uses daf.exe/install.exe, it's that same as how you flashed android for the first time, however sometimes you can't retain your settings. Clockwork mod flashing however, is unbeknown to me, haven't tried it yet, sorry.
Thanks for that, so what would i need to do to backup my settings and info on the Android just incase i reinstall it just say?
Also if i back to the bootloader would that mean ill have to reinstall a winmo rom?
Then if so would it only boot into WINMO and not android?
Secondly how would i be able to reboot into android again?
I guess im asking is there a way to dual boot and whats the best way about doing it?

r u being jackass?u have to flash stock wm rom first.ok then u can flash any custom rom.
ok use titenium backup to backup ur android settings abd appp..
ok and after winmo if u want dual boot u have to install sd android build to ur sd card
Why would i want to be a jackass?
Yeah i come on here to troll these forums to post noob questions for ****s and giggles, are you such a person who angers over someone who clearly doesnt know what he is doing and yet you think im being a jackass (god i hate that word, lol never used down here though).
I hope i clearly posted im the OP on how and what i installed but now im lost, i have android working fine but i dont know how to back any data up just incase i do an update or even flash back to stock rom and maybe come back to android later and hope to reuse the backed up data from the android rom.
It took me about a year to get used to WINMO and learning how to install a custom rom on it but now i thought i give android a go and i managed to follow the steps without any issues (yes there were a few more steps i needed to do than i did need to do for a custom rom for WINMO) but now that i have it running i just want to know what to do to get WINMO back on and preferably getting WINMO and android working side by side.
I know how to flash custom roms in WINMO but im just wondering if there was a way for me to be able to boot back into winmo while i have android installed, all i want is to be pointed into the right direction or shown a link to a walkthrough or just given a point form reply as to the process on what and what not ill be able to keep and the best way in doing so.
So from your reply i gather ill need to install android to my SDcard and not the phone memory in order to run WINMO and Android together am i correct?
If so then because i use the ENERGY ROMS i can boot to android from within the ENERGY ROM, am i correct? i think NRG did something with android in his roms.
I am really sorry if i have upset anyone (above) but i am really lost with this, yes i pretty much understood custom roms in WINMO but with this i just did it spontaneously VERY VERY late last night and i wasnt thinking straight i just gave it a shot, so i put myself in the deep end and now im very confused with getting it back to normal as such thats all.
Worst case would i just be able to reformat the SD and then boot to 4 colour screen and just do my custom WINMO install as per usual or would i have to install the stock rom back then install the custom rom?
First of all, ignore the "jackass" above. That was just plain rude and he made himself look like a total idiot.
Secondly, if you want to backup your current Android setup, get Titanium Backup from the market. There's a batch job (click menu, batch jobs) that backs up all your apps & data and system settings. It backs it up to your SD card though, so be aware of that if you're thinking of formatting it for any reason.
Next, get the WM6.5 ROM that you want to flash (doesn't have to be a stock one). Enter the bootloader (tri-colour screen) and flash your WM ROM as normal.
Finally, when you flash a ROM onto your phone, that becomes the only OS on there. You can't switch between Android NAND and WM without flashing. You can, however, run Android from your SD card. There's a forum dedicated to that here...
HD2 Android SD Development
There's lots of info in there on how to do it, but it's basically unzip a file, copy the contents to your SD card, run 2 apps. You'll probably want to go down the route of a bootloader (not really) that runs in Windows. It lets you select Windows or Android when you reboot. They too can be found in that same forum.
That's the only way you can switch between Windows and Android on a regular basis, without flashing a new ROM.
Hope this helps
Thank you very much it has cleared allot up for me, now i know that because i flashed android on the phone its the only OS i can use, i didnt know that TBH.
So yes thanks again and ill do it the SD way and try my luck with that.
One more small thing, how do i go with updating the current android rom im using (if it were to be updated), does it work in a similar process as WINMO custom roms and their updates?
Again i much appreciate the reply, it has helped already.

Generally, you flash an updated ROM the same way you flash the original ROM. There are backup options like Titanium Backup or ClockWork Mod (if the ROM supports it), so you can get everything back up and running again.

but im sure ppl with DHD will help a brother out without any flaming
When you wipe and flash, your phone will be clean, like new.
If your phone is already rooted, you do not need to downgrade. Just proceed to S-OFF. You can read what it is from many sources, just use search or scroll through some sticky guides.
Just follow the rom flashing guide, there is no need to confirm every step here.
You do not need to connect the SD into PC directly, you can do it via USB, use disk drive mode in your phone.
Follow the S-off guide and maybe the eng-off (For radio flashing)
1) Does you're phone have superuser on it? If no you can download it from the market.
2) Next download Rom manager from the market, flash the new Recovery (1st option in the app) (superuser needed)
3) Download: Fullwipe 1.3 ( you can find that in the dev section ) an put it on you're SD (You can use USB Sorage option as well)
4) Download the rom that you like from the Dev section and put it on you're SD
5) Power down you phone, then once it turned off hold volume - and then press power till you get a bootloader screen, Select recovery. ( use the volume keys to scroll and the power key to select)
6) Once in recovery choose "Install zip from sd" and select Fullwipe 1.3 and flash it.
7) After that you do the same, but now select you're rom.
8) reboot and enjoy you're new clean rom (Y)
!! First time boot can take a while!!
Hint: The new MIUI 1.4.8 from MR Garak is a nice rom. Its like Ios,touchwiz an Android combined (Y)
You can delete the unwanted app with root explorer. System/app/ But remember to not delete system apps.

Do radio S-OFF, and if you want to flash radios, you should do ENG S-OFF too. The ENG S-OFF can be done in any ROM, so it is not necessary to do it just now.
You have the stock kernel.

You have your current rom, should everything go tits up, you will be able to restore to your current rooted status
, without a backup you'll have to start again from scratch
Nandroid backup can be replaced by any custom ROM + full wipe, so it is not that important actually. I have never made a nandroid backup, because I just do not feel like I need one.
It is good for people who want to keep a copy of their stock ROM, or backup a custom ROM which has already been set up nicely.

Hey Guys,
at first, i hope this question isnt coming again and again, but i couldn't find anything helpful (for ME!) yet.
I have the HTC HD2 and got really tired of Windows Phone 6.5, so i changed it to Android. (Took me weeks to figure that out until it worked)
My current ROM:
Android 2.2 HTC Desire
Kernel 2.6.32.15 by cotulla
I use Magdlr and boot from NAND.
Superuser Elite is installed (bought it), but i cant update it - no matter what i do, it wont let me be root. I even tried the terminal, but when i type in "su" it directly says "permission denied". The problem is, my phone memory is low and i cant install apps directly on the sd-card (never found a guide how to get this automatically done).
What can i do??
i am rly desperate... the sad thing is, my boyfriend (yes, i am a girl) isnt much into smartphone stuff though he's got the new htc sensation - and also not into unix / linux systems - it seems all the guys i know besides only use an iPhone and google won't be my friend...
PLS PLS PLS HELP ME!
oh and sry for the bad language, grammar etc - i'm german ;-)
that is an old, out of date rom. It was the first proof of concept release when cotulla created magldr, so i would advise you to move to a different more recent rom. (We now have roms running android 2.3, 3 and even some early android 4 roms.)
There are very very few roms that flash in quite the same way, now, so you would need to learn about flashing CWM(clockwork, clockworkmod, clockwork recovery, it has several names)
Go get the 'android toolkit' from the android nand section, and then go read some of the guides from HERE

Old, outdated ROM with no root access. Use a newer one.
Yep its an old ROM. Don't worry though, you'll be able to redownload superuser on a new ROM. Just do what Sam says and it'll work fine. Surprised you even knew that you could flash android on to the hd2, because "you're a girl".
= What are you even doing asking whether or not you should root your phone on XDA?! =
ok guys thank you for the detailed informations!
i didnt know the rom is outdated - i guess installing a new one is the best idea in that case. i thought of that before, but it took me so long to get this one working so i wasn't in the mood for re-installing yet.
THANK YOU all, i will let you know if it worked - in case i cant fix this, would someone be able to help me via teamviewer?

I'm pretty sire you won't need to give remote access, you'll be able to do it. All you'll need is the latest magldr 1. 13 (if I'm not mistaking)
Once you've got that, you just need to flash the clockwork mod daf file from usb flasher on magldr, then when you flash into clockwork its easy, just flash a zip file.
You can backup ROM's etc. from clockwork so its really convenient.

I totally crashed it!!
Hi Guys - it has happened
i totally crashed my hd2.
what i did:
i read the guides and got the newest android nand toolkit. so, i performed task29 and installed hspl, then clk. the problem now is: i cant do anything else! when i boot, i get this white clk screen where i can choose recovery normal or sboot. i cant repartition, my phone has no connection when i switch into the mode "with the 3 colours"... so - i can copy to sd card what i want, i can perform every task with the toolkit, even the backup rom for the original windows phone doesnt help because it says: "pls check that you're phone is connected via usb". my pc has the android usb drivers, it shows the device, all ok. i cant go into usb flasher because it seems, no magldr is installed - i tried and tried so many things and now i cant even perform a wipe.
seems i need to give you remote access anyway....
PLEASE! help me!
if you need screenshots i will upload them, just let me know.
Start from the beggining by reflasing with the 3 colours on the screen, im no expert and I use magloader not clk, so try doing a fresh one with magloader and see how it goes

Plug the phone into the PC. Hold the back arrow key after turning the phone on to boot to fastboot . Then either try flashing Cwm via the NAND toolkit or do it manually through fastboot.
P. S. Did you install a radio?
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
try to do it the way "typhoon" discribed it in his thread
