Restoring the stock Tmobile rom to a Mytouch 3g?

Hey guys, I flashed my Mom's phone with CM 6.0 a few weeks ago and it's been nothing but trouble for her. She has insurance and is planning to get a replacement phone, and I'm worried that she might get in trouble with Tmo for having a custom ROM.
So my question is, do I need to to an SPL or is there an update zip I can flash with Clockwork Mod to go back to the stock rom?
Thanks for my noobish question, I don't own this specific device so it's a bit confusing. Much easier to take care of on my Hero.

Your mom let you flash her phone? My mom wont let me go anywhere near her Motorola Cliq.
Anyway, go to theunlockr.com, and theres a guides there in how to UNroot, then Tmobile can send you a replacement (for whatever reason)...and yes, custom ROMs void your warranty, but when you unroot, its as if you never rooted. PERFECT stock.
BUT: you have to use the correct guide, is the phone a US T-Mobile Mytouch or a European HTC Magic? Or a Mytouch with the headphone jack?
Posted with my stock T-Mobile 2.2.1 myTouch with 3.5mm jack

Try a diffrent rom first, like the latest aosp 2.2.1 OTA for mytouch, cm6 has always been trouble, memory leaks up the wazoo. Anywho, in my opinion aosp froyo 2.2 one of the best roms I have ever had on my mytouch 3g fast as hell

You just need to hboot the sappimg.nbh

[Q] Easiest way to install Froyo to myTouch 3G

Hi!
A friend of mine has this device and he wants to have Froyo installed, I believe he still has the factory installed version it came with the phone (I think is version 1.6 or 1.8).
I have a Samsung Captivate and upgraded very easily to Froyo using Odin and the Cognition ROM.
Can anyone point me to a thread that has an easy (beginner to intermediate) way to upgrade the MyTouch 3G to Froyo?
Thanks!

If it is an original MyTouch(without the 3.5mm jack) then the easiest way would be to wait for the OTA update from T-mobile. If your friend doesn't want to wait then check out this thread: Manually update MyTouch to stock Froyo

What about updating an unlocked MT 3G? Will updating to Froyo relock the phone?

Yes, is a original (untouched) myTouch 3G....
I read that it will come OTA, but he haven't seen anything yet on his phone.
Thanks

does it have a 3.5mm jack or not?

Selling phone, which rom to put on it?

Hey everyone, just as the title states. I just got a MT4G and it is sick I'm going to try and sell my MT3G and was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for which rom to put on it before I do? I don't really care I guess, but maybe just a nice, stable rom...?
Thanks!

I would say sell it stock, so the person you are selling it to can get the T-mobile OTA update. That is what I would do. I just kind of depends on how you are trying to sell it. If you are selling it on CL or Ebay I would sell it stock. If you are selling it to a friend or someone you know that you can help them with it if they have any problems, sell it with a stable version of CM 6.0. Just my opinion.

When I sold my old g1 on ebay I sold it with cyanogen. I got more money for it too listing as rooted. Just my 2 cents.

If you are selling it on craigslist I would ask the person if they would like it with a custom rom. If they have no idea what you are talking about, just sell it stock with the latest update (Froyo 2.2.1) I would do the manual update.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to get the stock rom on the phone? I mean is it as easy as flashing a rom? I want to still keep it rooted because it'll sell for more.

there should be a guide stickied on how to unroot, go back to stock, and then update to official froyo. after that just use universal androot to root it

Stock with Androot installed.

Cant find a guide on how to unroot and go to stock, I looked in the general/android dev forums. Am i just missing it?

Maybe check this thread. It might have some information for you.
[How-To] Root and un-root the T-Mobile myTouch 3G
Or this one:
myTouch 3G Step-By-Step Unroot
Do you know how I found these?
By searching for "unroot". I know it's confusing at times but at least give it a try.

Hey I'm sorry but one more question:
Do I need a SIM card to be in the phone while doing this? If I remember correctly, you can't get past the initial google setup without signing in to your google accout over the data network right?

this is a great guide for instaling froyo on your G1!

I just did myself upgrading my G1 last week, just follow this thread:

Something gone horribly wrong.

I recently bought a HTC Desire Z off eBay, when I received the phone it was on stock T-Mobile 2.3.3 firmware. Unfortunately this isn't rooted but it does have S-Off. Does anyone know how to get back to Sense or am I stuck until a downgrade/rooting method is released? :/

Oh I fixed it and got back to stock unrooted. But for some reason my phone has decided to completely die on me :/ oh well.

Just out of interest - are you saying you managed to get HTC stock (with Sense) back on the phone after having the T-Mobile GB ROM on there? If so, how did you do it?
I'm thinking of trying out the T-Mobile ROM but don't want to root and wandered if I could go back to sense if I don't like it.
Cheers.

My phone was s-off so I just flashed through boot loader a root able 2.2 g2 build and went and rooted from there. I then changed the hboot back to the original desire z one and flashed sense 2.2 through the boot loader.

I'd recommend using this if you want Sense and want to keep all the rooted perks.

Had to send it to htc as it bricked itself somehow :/ all that would work was vol + and power.

[Q] How to force upgrade myTouch 4G to latest Gingerbread?

Just got a used myTouch 4G for my daughter. I am currently with Wind Mobile in Canada, so obviously this phone is unlocked.
I noticed that it is still on Froyo, and I don't see any obvious way to factory upgrade to the latest version of Gingerbread.
How would I go about upgrading to the latest version? For now, I'd rather not root/flash custom ROMs for this phone.
Some feedbacks are much appreciated.
