[Q] MT3G stuck on splash screen {RESOLVED}

EDIT: Basically I was getting the errors because the phone had done the OTA update to FRG83D and the file I was trying to use to restore it was for FRG83B Here is the link to the second file for FRG83D http://android.clients.google.com/p...7ff5575808.signed-opal-ota-75603.687ff557.zip
Long story short, my son has this phone, I rooted it with a unoffical 2.2.1 rom that was running around a few weeks ago. While I was at work one day he downloaded the OTA which broke root and caused FC's on tons of stuff, couldn't even het to the home screen or into the menu. I rebooted into recovery, (which was not RA like I had put on it, now it was back to stock) did a data wipe as well as a wipe of cache, now it won't boot past the splash screen.
I can get into fastboot and stock recovery. Phone is recognized under fastboot, but not through adb. Can someone point me in the right direction, not new to android just the MT3G.....

You are in good shape...
Run this command and post the output!
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
Then we can determine which RUU to flash to get back to stock...
From there you can either update OTA, or root and flash whatever you want!

I don't think a ruu will work though, seeing as the phone will only connect to the computer in fastboot. I also tried the stock SAPPIMG.nbh and it doesn't get picked up in fastboot.

Type
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Then you should be in RUU mode... now try to run the ruu and it should find your device!

EDIT: I tried a different RUU, and it went a little further, but ended up saying:
ERROR[156]: IMAGE ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
ERROR[170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR in the ruu program
Fastboot screen does show "RUU USB"

check your pm

Looks like the hboot upgraded, but the rest isn't, and it won't let me downgrade because of the upgraded hboot. Soooo if anyone has the official 2.2.1 RUU for this phone please let me know!!

I'm in the exact predicament as the OP, good luck to solving this.

I think I fixed it, while looking around I found this post and flashed the file through stock recovery. I'm booted and setting up now.

I'm in a pretty similar predicament I flashed the new hboot then the 2.2.1 then tried out a new boot.img with the r.o secure=0 in build prop. Then i rebooted to recovery and it was stock? so I'm like f*ck. So I reboot the device and it's stuck at the green screen.
I've got the tmobile mytouch 32b with the latest hboot and recovery and no system.img

I think that's about the same situation I was in, try flashing the file above in stock recovery, don't see how it can do anymore damage. At least that's where I was at with the phone. I couldn't even use a goldcard to do anything, but this worked.

So I'm flashing the zip you posted right now and let me tell you when I saw it installing my I started sweating and now it's going to the android logo. It booted Thank you for the find

I tell you what messed me up is I used the wrong flash_image binary when I tried to flash the boot.img

Glad it worked! I spent about a day and a half dicking around with this thing, getting no where, then I found that and all troubles where gone in a matter of minutes.

Yeah this should be stickied. I'm a sprint hero user myself and although the phones are very similar it's got enough of a difference to screw you. So did you get that sigh of relief like I did. Mine comes mainly from the fact I know my girlfriend isn't gonna kill me or know about this.

LOL, yeah this is my kids phone and I was about to just buy a new one to shut him up and just mess with this when I had time. But yeah, I've done most of my stuff on the cdma Hero and now I've got the EVO. NEVER have I ran into a mess like this before.

just a note for people in the future use superoneclick to root and then clockwork mod ion/magic gsm for recovery

I used Superoneclick to root but in order to get the recovery to stick I had to remove /system/etc/install-recovery.sh from the rom.. then flash ra or clockwork

What if I don't have a stock recovery? I flashed another rom in hopes of avoiding the stock recovery reflash itself every boot-up. Unfortunately now I'm stuck with rebooting green screens with clockworkmod recovery.

From what I've read, I don't think this updated radio and spl will work with other ROM's yet. You could try flashing it in clockwork though. A couple of posts up I put the file you need to remove to avoid the stock recovery from reflashing itself everytime.

[Q] No more recovery screen ?

I have a MyTouch 3G running the latest Cyanogen 1.6.0 (stable) I use to be able to boot into the recovery console, but for some reason ( i am sure i did something wrong ) I can no longer boot into recovery AND I can no longer update my ROM. If I try to update Cyanogen to 1.6.1 or any other ... the phone will hang at the MyTouch splash screen forever. I have to remove the battery and reboot.
What happened to my recovery console ?? What can I do to fix this ??
Thank you

There are to ways to fix this...
1)You can flash recovery from the working system using flash_image binary. look at my guide(in my signature) and you will find clear steps to do this.
2)If you don't have a working system, then post here all your fastboot info and we/i can further assess your problem :0)

No recovery?

So I have been trying at putting a custom rom and partitioning the phone with LDXE or Ubuntu for about two days now. I have tried several different custom recovery.img files but I keep running into the same issue. I can't flash the recovery through fastboot because the phone isn't rooted. I cannot root the phone because the phone isn't rooted. This is because the rootme tutorials require that you flash the recovery before the phone is ever rooted. Now, whenever I goto the recovery screen I also get an exclamation point over a phone. I read in a few places that this is also a big issue but I couldn't find how to fix it.
So does anyone have any advice on rooting this HTC sapphire 32A?

No, you can't flash a recovery image via fastboot because you have a perfected/non-engineering SPL, but you'd need root flash this.
Could you post the information shown in fastboot and the information in Settings>about?

[Q] bricked g2 upon custom rec overy

ok so i wanted to flash clockwork 3.0 but i was still running cm 6.1.1 and now i am stuck at the htc boot screen. i also cant get into recovery please i am begging for help.

please someone i really need help i obviously cant use my warranty obviously so please help me restore this or just get it back to working without a root anything

Dont worry pal.
OK,... AFAIK...... If you have flashed ClockworkRecovery 3, the only ROMs that will work are the 2.3 ROMs,... If you are trying to boot up a 2.2 ROM, it is likely to bootloop.
So boot back into recovery, full wipes, then flash a 2.3 ROM,... If that is what you were planning to do.
If you want to keep your 2.2 ROM on,... flash back to an older Clockwork Recovery,... then try to boot? If you get boot loops, try wiping cache and try again. If it still fails I would just do a fresh flash of your ROM again,... Remember full wipes 1st.

Can you boot into Hboot screen (phone off then volume-down + power)? If yes try to select recovery from the Hboot screen, it should reboot into recovery, if it doesn't and something is wrong with your recovery, Do you have an Eng. Hboot? , if yes do you have Andriod SDK set up and fastboot? If yes, boot into Hboot, select fastboot from the options, then plug in your usb. Once your device is recognized by fastboot:
Code:
fastboot devices
should return a serial number + "fastboot"
then reflash ClockWorkMod Recovery 2.5.1.3( you can download it from here:http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html then place the ClockWorkMod Recovery 2.5.1.3( make sure its named recovery.img) into the tools folder in AndriodSDk where Fastboot is located, then run the command :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
once rebooted your probably gonna be stuck at the HTC screen again, pull the battery, then Volume-down+ power back into Hboot, then select recovery from Hboot screen and it sholud reboot into ClockworkMod recovery, then reflash the rom of your choice.

thanks but i already fixed it by pressing sim lock and i have no idea why that worked and i should probably set up adb now right?

[Q] Boot loops

I wanted to reflash my DHD with Leedroid Rom again and I went to Rom manager and selected flash rom and the phone rebooted but then it got stuck in boot loops and its still stuck there. I can access hboot but not recovery. What can I do? Please help!

Anyone? Please help me, I can't use my phone?

Power the phone off and plug the charger in. Wait a few seconds and see if it loads into recovery. Flashing a rom should not have affected recovery partition at all. If that doesn't work and you have eng hboot s-off you can try manually reflashing recovery via fastboot. If that doesn't work you will have to flash an ruu via pd98img.zip method and start again from scratch.

Thank you so much for replying. The charger method didnt work. I have thought about the pd98img.zip method but before doing that I would like to try out the manually flashing the rom via fastboot but I havent been able to find any info on how to that, do you have a link or something to a small guide of sorts? I am not so experienced in that area, I do know how to open terminal emulaters and such but not on what to write and all that.
