i have looked and couldnt find a thread that matched my problem...i have a rooted mytouch 3G (32B) and i cannot get back into recovery. i am able to get into hboot and fastboot but thats it...and when i try to boot regularly the phone will either get stuck in a boot loop or if it does boot (which is rare) it will go to the android tutorial screen and ask for me to touch. at the tutorial screen there will be a whole bunch of error and force closes...before these problems i had used clockwork rec and tried to flash another recovery from rom manager but it would flash a new recovery...then the problems followed and i could no longer flash either clockwork or amon ra....please help if there is any
Post your fastboot info. If your not locked with a perfected SPL you should be able to permanently flash a custom recovery and then flash a new ROM.

I would just apply SAPPIMG.nbh, then use flashrec.apk from 1.5 to flash amon_ra. Then flash whatever you want.
Basically just follow this guide - http://theunlockr.com/2010/04/26/how-to-root-the-htc-mytouch-3g/

Pull the battery and reinstall, and while the phone is OFF, hold POWER + VOLUME DOWN until you get to the update/bootloader screen. Not sure what it's called. From there you can apply SAPPIMG.nbh from your sd card.
Obviously you'll have to use an adapter to copy the file directly to your SD card without the use of the phone itself.
That will put everything back to oem, then you can use flashrec.apk to install amon_ra and go on your merry way. Try it before you insist it won't work.
If he can't get the regular ROM loaded up he's not going to be able to use flashrec. You need to flash an engineering SPL using the goldcard method and go the old school route of flashing a custom recovey, then flash a new ROM. I'm guessing you rooted before using Androot. When I get to a computer I'll link a proper guide to help you out. You can't get to recovery either (holding home and pressing power)?

You load SAPPIMG.nbh from the bootloader screen - you don't need a ROM at all.
Applying SAPPIMG returns the phone to 100% oem and should allow him to boot up again.
Applying the stock sappimg will return his bootloader/radio back to stock, not the ROM. You have to run an RUU to get back to complete stock.

You're welcome, let me know how it goes. You're basically unrooting, going back to cupcake, and then re-rooting, but at this point I think that's going to be LESS effort than everything else you could try, lol.
It went well! Thanks a lot.

I'm not sure I follow you. Are you trying to root the phone, because your first line says you did already.
Try writing it in your own language and using a translator like Google Translator.

guess its clear !
i wrote: I did root
Phone still works
to flash the ROM I have to get into the fastboot menu.
after that it shows the listed problem
If your rooted u need a recovery. U have one? Boot to it and flash from there.
Sent from my HTC Magic SparksMod using XDA App
Yeah, you don't need fastboot to flash an actual ROM, you use a custom recovery. That's why I was confused.

Hello thanks so far.
I did it once one the N1 and it worked fine. But here it give me some headache.
Downloaded a Custom and a recovery ROM. Only one on the SD Card and try to install it.
The only way i know is hold VOL-DOWN and Power and from there start .
But this would be via fastboot ? and this show the error i posted.
Other option is, I have this ROM Manger as an App. Nice toy, found me the recovery or /and the custom ROM on the SD Card. After i try to install from there, it restart the phone goes up to the rogers screen and freeze their.
scratching my head.....
No Rom manager. Get amonra 1.7.0. (Custom recovery). Fastboot flash it. Will be instructions on his thread to fastboot flash it. Follow them. When done shut phone off. Boot into amonra home and power till recovery screen comes up. NANDROID BACKUP. Wipe everything in recovery. Partition sdcard the way u want it. Plug into computer. Hit USB toggle. Open sdcard on comp. Put Rom and gapps or whatever you're flashing. Close sdcard. Hit home to get out of USB toggle. Flash Rom and whatever. Reboot. Done. Keep us posted.

Hi all, first post here. I have rooted my N1 and flashed CM6 on it. Now I'm looking to root and flash a MyTouch Fender. I have one question that is really stumping me, and I have been all of over this forum. What is the differance between 32a and 32b? And if its on the phone, how would I find it? And do I have to flash a radio, too?
Ok, three questions.... lol
Still new at all this flashy stuff, but its great.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i used the method mentioned here
hxxp://theunlockr.com/2010/11/15/universal-android-rooting-method-visionary-method/
and it shows i still have SU permission... but everytime my phone re starts, it opens visionary and says rooting phone...
but the thing is, my phone is snail slow now... and when i go back to the main screen, it takes forever and says loading... then my normal screen shows up... its also taking forever to do simple things, such as open text msg's
any suggestions on this problem?
Lol i think you didnt properly s-off and prem-root your phone. Go to G2/disireZ android dev... locate the thread about prem rooting. There should be 3 methods. 1 gfree(safest) 2. Unforgivens method( fastest) and 3. Rage method( dont know) well yea... hope u get rooted and if anybody sees my post can you guys better explain lol thanks
Edit: lol just go to stickes and there should be a thread that talks about guilds and roms.

shows my phone is rooted, and su lets me access it, also just tried to dl setcpu and it has access as well....
just the phone is still stupid slow.. and i want to fix that
Okay... what rom are u using?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
stock, i have not touched anything yet, tryign to get input on which is the best sense rom to dl...
basically i just want to clean up the phone, remove all bells crap from it, and speed it up a lil bit....
Quick thing i want u to do. Can u turn off your phone and hold vol down + power and tell me what it says on the upper left of the screen
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
ya it says s-on still.... whats the easy way to get rid of this... and as i said i just want to speed up this phone a lil bit
Lol do you want full root? Or just speed up your phone?

but since it says my phone is rooted already, can this cause problems? or can i un root and re do it?
Lol alrighty. When you get prem-root/s-off you should flash virtuous Rom(sense) or cyan RC1 Rom(stock android feel).
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
No lol you are not rooted. You have temp root. If your hboot says s-on then your not rooted. I advice not to mess with the prem root button on visionary.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
no no what im saying is that since my phone says its s-on still, but it says its rooted... how can i start fresh, by say unrooting my phone, or is there some way i can just hop in the middle here....
im new to all this and i dont want to screw up my phone lol
Your using visionary right? Since you have s-on after you reboot your phone it should be unrooted again. Just make sure you turn off the start at boot thing on visionary
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Dont use visionary, use the other two. There have been to many problems with Visionary.
i did turn it off, and setcpu still has access it says.... so where can i confirm on the phone is it is or is not rooted....
Does h-boot say S-Off?
Like i said before. Turn off your phone hold vol down + power. If it says s-off on the left top of the screen the your rooted. Well i used unforgivens way of prem rooting and no issues. S-off (security off)
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
nope says s-on
ok heres the situation, i tried to root my wifes mytouch 4g...i have rooted before, so i figured hey wtf lets give it a go, i got clock work 3.0.0.5 installed fine, but i cant get a restore to work or anything form there...i can do clock work and hboot/fastboot...nothing else...cyanogen just causes splash screen free...and so does anything else i flash...now i downloaded pd15img.zip and attempted to use that...but it just fills the blue bar in hboot and says checking pd15img.zip then goes back to hboot main screen i am never asked to load the zip with volume...please ladies and gents i know im not completely done here...and if i am i will get a replacement, but it seems like it should be an easy fix...what am i doing wrong...if i try to reflash recoveries in fastsboot i get signature verify error
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944681
this happened to me as well. i went to ice glacier and then followed the instructions on the link
You cannot use 3.0.0.5 for stock. You must flash an older recovery or 3.0.0.6 and then it will work. This is covered extensively and has been asked over and over again.
Flash the correct recovery for the rom you want to use and your problem will be solved.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
i tried...
i have loaded other roms...i cant get a single one to make it past the splash screen...i cant flash another recovery from fastboot...i am baffled, you would think if i have fastboot...hboot...and clockwork it owuld be an EASY fix...anyone point me a lil further in the right direction, i dont mean to be dense i been up for a LONG time trying to figure this out, now im at work...slow day...and if i can fix this before i get home my wife will be SO HAPPY..so which version of ice glacier i just tried 1.1
?
Just flash 3.0. 6 and flash the rom you like, you should be good to go, you can set up web to flash the recovery... hope it goes smoothly =)

Also sometimes it takes a while to boot, how long do you give it?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
i can set up what to flash the recovery? i cant flash through fastboot i get a signiture error, no matter WHAT recovery i use...old...new....05...doesnt matter and im at 05 right now...i know i need 6...i think that owuld fix me to...but i have NOT A CLUE how to obtain a new recovery without being able to move past the splash screen...i can boot into hboot...fastboot...and clockwork...nothing else.
like 20-30-40mins at a time, and it just stays on the splash
If the computer recognizes your device in pretty sure you can set up adb. Thanks flash recovery through there, you should have been able to flash Glacier, you must be doing something wrong, try flashing and stock zip through recover maybe?

lol you're thinking at light speed bro...
i'm not exactly sure of the commands but i know if you've got adb set up you should be able to do it. maybe adb shell?? i have no idea as i'm not a developer.
i'm confused why you couldn't get royal glacier flashed, it shouldn't matter which recovery you have with 2.2 roms. sounds like your phone just doesn't want to comply...
forgive me... as this is much a partial question as it is a suggestion... (coming from WinMo to Android myself) but can't Clockwork Mod be updated FROM Clockworkmod recovery??
I seem to recall that update.zip is the install for the clockworkmod install... and there's an option within clockwork to install update.zip... isn't that correct?
If so... wouldn't you just download the .zip for 3.0.0.6, copy it to the microSD and install it, then install the ROM of choice?

To make the process very simple, try this method.
Just follow this steps for an error free downgrade.
1. Download the rom here.
2. Rename it to PD15IMG.zip
2. Place it on the root of your sd card.
3. Switch On your phone while holding the Power button & the down volume button.
4. The hboot menu will update your phone (do according to the hboot instructions).
The original bootloader is 0.86.0000
Now reboot & enjoy your update......This is the original T-mobile 2.2.1 version....so no worries.....
