My girlfriend has an original mytouch 3g from release date that I'm trying to install a custom Rom on. It has the 2.2 OTA Rom from t-mobile and I have attached an image of her boot//spl and radio versions.
I have root access already and can flash clockwork or amon's recovery just fine. I already have nandroid backups on the computer and the Rom I want on the SD (either yoshi extreme 1.5 or brewed froyo).
The problem arises when I flash a Rom. It doesn't matter what Rom I am flashing or whether I use amon or clockwork, it just bootloops at the green mytouch screen. I have searched for HOURS to figure it out, and I think it is an SPL issue, but there is way too much info on the phone online to sift through. When I had my 32b (never had OTA froyo) I just downloaded the Rom, booted into RA and flashed. It always worked.
I'm not looking to be spoon fed here, just point me in the right direction. If I need a new/eng SPL, please point me towards which one!
Also, how do I keep it from flashing over amon/clockwork upon boot?
Thanks guys!

So, do we need to replace the spl from the ota 2.2 update before we can flash roms? What spl should I flash? I'm going to flash one of the roms that are based on the ota update...
I just want to flash something a bit faster and overclock a little to hold her over until we get her something better. Maybe ill just pick up an hd2 for cheap and throw a desire rom on it! Or perhaps give her my mytouch 4g and pick me up a nexus s!

You just need to install eng spl like 1.33.2005 by crios or 1.33.2010 you flash it via recovery, install yoshi or brew or my mod and you will be fine
I JUST saw your reply man! I had all but given up until today when my girlfriend started complaining again about her phone! Thanks for the help!
Cyanogenmod, here we come!

Okay, so I tried flashing Cyanogen 6.1 after flashing 1.33.2005 and it just bootloops. I'm trying Yoshi now.
UPDATE: Everything bootloops. Nothing will boot. Here is where I'm at with spl/radio. Any ideas?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I recently got a new mt3g...again, downloaded the ota 2.2. what did you root the phone with??? do you have ROM manager on the phone?? With that you have there you should be able to Flash CM6.1 stable I would have thought. If you have ROM manager installed just download the rom on ROM manager with gapps, just make sure you check backup and do a WIPE. if you dont do a wipe will bootloop.
If you dont want CM. download superwipe. you can find it on here. If you go that route. Go into recovery performed nandroid backup, installed zip file for superwipe. let it do its thing. reboot phone back into recovery and flash you ROM, then gapps and then kernel. First boot is the longest. I would flash CM6.1 if you have never flashed ROM before. Yoshi is kinda difficult if you have never flash ROM before, just a fyi.
The wierd thing is my phone said the same before you installed the new eng spl.
I've flashed plenty of Roms in the past.
The problem ended up being my radio version. Both radios from the OTA 2.2 updates turned out to be incompatible with cyanogenmod...
I just ended up finding a ported version of CM 6.1 final that worked with the new OTA radio and spl. The new radio and spl together free up an extra 15 mb of RAM too, so its a nice bonus. I had to flash the new spl back with fastboot before I could flash CM, but otherwise it was simple. The phone is MUCH more snappy now compared to OTA 2.2.1, no swap or anything.
If you decide to go that route, its very simple.
1) root with superoneclick
2) download amon RA and flash with Rom manager
3) wipe and flash the ported cyanogenmod Rom
Viola, cyanogenmod with an extra 15mb of RAM. You could even supposedly flash one of pershoot's kernels which now support the new radio and spl RAM hack.
If you have any questions, let me know!

or you can flash regualar 6.1 and then flash ezterry's 2708 port kernel. pershoots has one as well.

Download Clockwork ROM manager from the market, scroll to the bottom, "all clockwork recoveries" and flash the one you need.

There is no real 2.5.1.4 for this phone. Evil put that and I am not sure why. All it does is misinform people. You need a recovery that does ext4 and that would be 3.0.0.5 or 3.0.0.6. You are fine using the recovery you have or you can flash the zip in my sig for 3.0.0.6 if you want the latest recovery.

thanks for clearing that up man, I've been wanting to try out his version of MIUI, but the "requirements" he listed threw me since I couldn't find 2.5.1.4 anywhere and every time I would try to flash it from ROM Manager it would come back as an error. guess I know what I'll be downloading and playing with when I park the big truck tonight for the weekend.
EDIT: side note - since your 3.0.0.6 supports EXT4 does that mean we can use DarkTremor's A2SDEXT mod? yes I know this may be a dumb question but if you don't ask questions you can never learn anything new.

There isn't a 2.5.1.4 recovery for this phone reguardless of what Koush put in the app. That menu is in all versions of Rom Manager. If you download and flash the recovery that evil lists in his MIUI rom as 2.5.1.4 it is actually the oldest version of 3.0.0.5 (1-16-11).

Yes. I have, however I don't know what it means (any of it). I seriously don't know what I'm doing.
All I know is that there's apps such as superuser, rom manager, clockwork and the coredroid it's self.
I don't know what's the latest version either..
Here are screen from my phone that I guess will help:

I've also the following Apps installed:

ROM Manager (Free Version)
Titanimum Backup (Free Version)Superuser
I can also boot in to ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.6.
Just need specific instructions on how to actually flash the rom, I don't understand the stuff about the radios either. I'm on Windows 7 Proffesional and have a USB cable aswell as WIFI and Mobile Internet.
I've also downloaded the latest version of coredroid on to my desktop.
If someone can help me over IM that would be much appreciated..
Hi , in ROM Manager you have an option to get an update for your ROM but i dont think you need it since you put the lastest version on ur SD
First i recommend you to update the recovery to 3.2.6.0
then you should flash the recommended radio before flashing the updated coredroid
if you have already the recommended radio then you can wipe except if there are only stock apps
Finally enter in recovery mode , and choose install from zip and choose your updated Coredroid and let your Desire HD do the rest
I installed LeeDroid myself yesterday but i wasn't ENG S-OFF and though from the beginning that i was ENG S OFF so flashing the radio was impossible as well as the other things to do
Hope i helped
Edit: put the update in ur SD card and then in recovery cwm and then "apply update from sdcard" is the right choice i think
Can someone please explain what a radio is? Oh and how I know which one o have and how to flash it..
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Right, I've just flashed the recovery to the latest version.
I have the ROM saved on my SD card root.

This should help
And you should have radio s-off by means of having a custom recovery.
To check do volume up and power at the same time, takes you to the HBoot, while there select recovery and should take you to your recovery

Press any key to continue . . .
Now, I need to erm... update coredroid?
That sounds easy but how? :|
congrats. first go to rom manager and update your recovery, next have the current rom or any rom of choice on your sdcard. doesnt have to be on the root just to let you know. go to install from sdcard ->choose from sdcard -> flash rom. but before doing you are going to wipe your phone then you can flash. some roms you may not have to wipe, but doing a wipe cleans up any errors and will run smoothly.
so if you want to try roms out, just go to the development section and choose your rom of choice. if you download off your phone they will be in your download folder
So here is the New Rom for your Huawei U8650.
The Rom was tested for 3 weeks and so far has no bugs, the rom is fast and stable, it's based on WWE Huawei rom, with OC kernel up to 780MHz, it also have app2sd.
I assume that everybody knows how to root and custom recovery the U8650 if not just search my other post.
Note: YOU FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK. I'M NOT RESPONSABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE.
THIS IS MY FIRST ROM EVER, AND I'M NOT A PROGRAMMER AND NO DESIGNER SO GO EASY ON ME.

The screens are in my house, it change from 3g to hsdpa with no problem!
your phone working well...ok..i'll try it coz i like your rom's speed..
it still the same..no coverage even gprs...i have wipe everything...is it possible that this happen because before this i use CM7???
one more thing is before this i use recovery mode that you mention before which from zad but now i use recovery from benru which different version..so is it possible to cause this problem??
sorry for the question but did you check you phone maybe you set only to use 2G in network settings. I'm using the recovery from zad's post as it works fine, i flashed my U8650 about 200 times in the past month and it still works fine, I really don't know why you got that problem, I'w also used CM7 and GGr after with no problems!
I installed this rom on 6 other phones and no one had this problem!
When you try to flash another rom does your 3g works??

well you got the full explanation of how to put Zads recovery in my other post,and yes it can be the reason why it does not work. Another question,why did you changed recovery if the first one works fine. And did you back up the original rom before you flash？ Try restore original rom or if you do not have the backup try download original rom and flas it from the phone update utillity.

now is too late my friend,as the backup is the first thing to do when you install custom recovery. For the original update rom you need to download it,you can find it on htcmania.com under U8650 then you need to put it on the root of you sd card then mount you sd,go to storage settings and find software update, update from sd card and follow the instructions. the rom update will be called update.app this should go on the sd root folder. you can also find how to on androidforum under huawei sonic thread.

You need to install the drivers for your device, the adb drivers, because your Pc can not connect with your device, if you use windows vista/7 just go to device manager and try update device drivers, or just download huawei drivers and install it.
i have install that driver...but still didn't work...
i have download the original firmware...but in my storage setting don't have option software update...
what rom you use now???
i have install original firmware...i change to your rom 1st and it has option for software update...before this i use CyanogenMod7.2-benru89-v2...that's why my recovery change automatically and dont have option for software upgrade...now i need to root my phone once again
Hello, I cannot My AT&T Galaxy S4 into recovery mode. According to Boot Manager I have 2 recoveries already installed(CWM and TWRP) but every time I try reboot into recovery I get "Could not do Normal Boot ODIN MODE". I installed one of the recoveries using Goo manager and because it didn't work I tried with boot manager, What am I missing?
Goo Manager doesn't work for the AT&T S4... I did the same thing a while back. You need to use Safestrap for this phone. Look for the right version of it. I'm assuming you are using the stock ROM so find out what software version you are on and download the right version of Safestrap. Good luck.
Btw I forgot to add that you lost your stock recovery so you don't have one anymore. You can take it to a bestbuy and tell them Kies broke your phone and they can reflash it for you, or you can install a custom recovery.

Also, you can't have 2 recoveries installed at "same time". Find your build in settings. If mf3/mk2/nb1 you can't flash custom recoveries. Will also be limited to TW roms. You must use SafeStrap. So, probably need to get very familiar with it before going farther.
Good Luck on it--
Thanks!

Thanks, I'm on MK2. I get this message in Rom manager, should I proceed to install Safestrap?
Sorry for the picture size, don't know how to resize.
You need to use ODIN to flash the original firmware back to your phone (MK2 from the looks of it). Then, install safetrap using the instructions available in the Safestrap thread. Make sure you read the entire thread before you do anything. As already mentioned, only safestrap will work with your phone, not Goo Manager and not ROM Manager.

Is there a way I can flash the stock recovery myself? I'm not in the US. Also, I installed Safestrap without flashing the original firmware and everything seems to be working fine. Should I reflash it anyways? I want to run a custom rom (Hyperdrive RLS15) and I'm new to all of this.Thank you for all your answers!

Should I reflash it anyways? I want to run a custom rom (Hyperdrive RLS15) and I'm new to all of this.Thank you for all your answers!

Its all up to you if you wanna flash a custom ROM. Personally I don't because I have always had bad luck with modding phones and tablets. that's why I only root, but don't let that discourage you. Make sure that you have the correct ROM for your device before installing it.

Do a backup before flashing anything.

hello
First off, I have modded with cyanogenmod quite some time ago.
I have kept that up date (cause of their nice update program), but I have never updated the carrier roaming lists (PRL?). My coverage seems to be crappy and I think it just may have to do with my newbishness.
I am running Cyanogenmod 11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-jflte
Sprint PRL = 55018
is there a retard guide for me to easily update.... any suggestions or links would be great. I have spent over an hour searching google, but I am obviously using the wrong keywords and I am getting frustrated. I keep stumbling across other models / mods and I am fearful of breaking something....
Thanks for your time

You'll need to flash a touchwiz based ROM to do a PRL update.

thanks for the detail.
I dont mean to be a turd, but there seems to be a whole lot of TouchWiz variants. Is there a specific one to use?
thanks, and best regards

Any TouchWiz should be fine, but go with stock if you want to make sure

Yes, unless you use stock rooted. But that doesn't matter since all you are doing is flashing stock ROM, updating PRL and then restoring cyanogenmod

sorry for being a pain, but as I dont do this often...
if I flash the zip here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257503
this will put me back to TouchWIz original (plus root)
then I will follow the rest of the steps
(sorry for being dense, I was incorrectly thinking that I would loose the ability to use clockworkmod recovery / restore functions once I flashed the touchwiz rom and I would have to root before I could restore cyanogen, but that is firmware not ROM..... )
Its late and I have been up forever...
Thanks
I need some help.
Using Clockworkmod recovery V 6.0.4.7.
Tried using http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-rooted-stock-roms/ >>>> "Download Galaxy S4 rooted Stock ROM Sprint SPH-L720 Latest MF9 "
checked the filesize and the md5 sum, all good.
WHen I tried to use CWM to install zip from SDcard1 it gave me an error (missing 4 of 5) and aborted the installation.
I tried to search somewhere else to find a .zip that would bring the Sprint SPH-L720 back to stock, however they all seem to not have .zip for CWM recovery however make use of ODIN (which i cannot use as I dont have a windows computer, I use linux)
I want to go back to stock to update the prl before going to cyanogenmod 12.1
any suggestions ?
thanks

Rough night here.
somehow I lost clockworkmod recovery and ended up being still rooted with stock mf9 recovery, but I still had cyanogenmod 11 working; I recovered by installing clockworkmod application; > model > flash clockworkmod recovery > shutdown.
In the midst of that fiasco I say this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2296167
which implies that keeping the PRL as up to date is not so required.....
so I bailed after several different attempts to install a ROM that would allow me to do a prl update.
I flashed the latest cyanogenmod nightly 12.1 and I am off and running.
