First off I'm running CyanogenMod-5.0.7-DS-test2. I know it's old but just never have updated. That being said is there a 2.2 ROM being worked on for the myTouch 1.2 phones? I ask because T-Mobile just announced that we will be getting Android 2.2 soon. Bummed because I really like some of the new stuff in 2.2 but because I've rooted, modded my phone I won't get that update as far as I know right? So therefore I have two questions. Again is there a 2.2 ROM being worked on for these phones and if not how can I get my phone back to the way it was when I first got it? Thanks in advance.
Moving to General because this has nothing to do with developing ROMs.
Sorry about that Binary.

No worries. The Magic thread has been a bit slow the past few days anyway. It's nice to have something to do.

If you flash back to your stock ROM when it's released you will get the notification and be able to install it.
The problem for XDA at the moment is that the 2.2 source has not been released, which makes it a pain in the arse to work with for cooking ROMs.

HOw do I get my phone back to stock? Is there a way to get it back to stock without losing my ROOT access?

If you want stock you will lose root. If T-Mobile send you the 2.2 update you will still not have root. Why haven't you checked out CM6-RC1 yet? It's stable and with root. I've been running it for over a week on my MyTouch 1.2 and haven't had any issues.
Individual results may vary.
So CM6-RC1 runs pretty good on the MT3G 1.2 (32A EBI0)? No updating needed on anything to run it? I JUST loaded 5.0.8 tonight. Didn't do a wipe since I was upgrading from 5.0.7 to 5.0.8. Really hate to have to wipe AGAIN and reinstall all of my apps LOL!
On a 5.0.8 related note I thought I could overclock to 576 with 5.0.8. I'm using SetCPU and it won't let me go higher than 528. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Yes CM6-RC1 runs very well on MyTouch 1.2, you just need root and a custom recovery installed. You should use Titanium to backup your apps and data because a wipe might be required. I didn't have to... but results may vary. In regards to SetCPU, I wouldn't know because I am comfortable with what I have. I have 7 completely filled screens with JIT and everything else is default. I have just over 100 apps installed and I have about 150mb of internal memory remaining still. No need for a2sd.
Custom recovery? Would that be the Aman of whatever it's called that I have currently?

Make a nandroid backup first!!!!
Oh yeah of course.
Well got CM6 running. Not sure what's going on but man it's SLOW for some reason. I did notice my max CPU went up to 576 though. Still not sure why it's running so slow. Notice everytime I go into settings and hit the Home button my home screen has to refresh.
EDIT: Not sure if this is a bug or what but a lot of my contacts have no green phone icon next to them anymore and if I press and hold to edit them I get a Force Close. So I did some digging and notice no GMAIL accounts were setup. I went to GMAIL and it told me I had to setup an account. Hit Add Account and nothing happens. Not good at all. That explains why those contacts aren't showing up. I installed the GAPPS on the CM6 RC1 page. Should I not have done that? Weird that there is no GMAIL account setup as that's how I had to setup the phone initially. Same when I'd wiped and installed a custom ROM in the past. Also seems that Market doesn't work. I click the Market icon and a white screen opens and then closes. Very ****ty. And I know that I can't downgrade back to 2.1 (5.0.8) without wiping right?

That's what a nandroid backup is for.
But try a complete wipe, reflash and restore SOME of your apps and data. You also need to make sure that you flash the correct gapps. Froyo not the donut, eclair one.
Yeah I used the one on the same post with the CM6 download link. Will try a wipe then try CM6 again.

So Binary here is an interesting one for ya. I ended up doing a wipe. Also did a Dalvik wipe as well. Loaded CM6 RC1 on. Loaded the Google Apps on. Worked fine. Then I noticed apps showing up in my drawer that I hadn't manually installed. Eventually it appears the Market installed every app I had running before I wiped. Not sure how it did that. Trying to get my Weather Widget Donate to work. Try to load the Large flip clock and weather widget and all it does is make my home screen fade a little but that's it.
EDIT: Finally got my weather app to work. Think I'm finally on the right track now. Loving the fact I can have up to 7 screens! And the Update All in Market is a godsend!

I successfully used the gfree method and set s=off, updated my bootloader to .85.2007 using the great guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996
The problem is getting permroot to work. Using visionary, I can temproot without any problems and su on a terminal, use rom manager, root-explorer. Everything. But when trying to use Visionary to permroot, it just acts like I am not doing anything. The button just clicks and sits there. It lets me click it again, but it never leaves the menu.
Its not the worst problem in the world, but it would be nice not to use visionary after every restart.

if you have temp rooted w/ s=off you do not need to permaroot. The Security Protocol is going to remove any SU access. So you are good to go.
do this, turn off the phone. and pull the battery. put it back it and turn on the phone go to Term Emulator and type "su". do not even worry about the VISIONary program. if the $ changes to a # you are good to go.
Thanks for the response.
I have s=off (just confirmed), and when I do exactly as you said I get a "permission denied" message after running SU. I can't change mount in root explorer either. I would need to run visionary again and temp root to get root access again....

Try this.
uninstall Visionary, reboot the phone to clear up any unwanted cache, and reboot into bootloader and clean the cache and the Dalvik cache then re download VISIONary direct from the site via a computer with a Landline connection, or strong wi-fi connection then push the visionary.apk via a USB cable and install it that way.
just to make sure you do not have a faulty visionary program.
I had the same problem, on three phones. I did get it to run one time after uninstalling, rebooting and installing again.
I didn't plan on staying stock though, so I didn't need to run permroot. I just ran temp root with r/w access to system then downloaded ROM manager from the market and used it to flash clockwork recovery. (it defaults to flashing 3.0, but if you want to use Iced Glacier ROM flash clockwork 2.5.1.2) After that I just rebooted into recovery and nandroid'ed my stock ROM then flashed a new one. Iced Glacier is practically stock, so try it first.
A good idea on clearing everything, sadly, same behavior. Temp root works fine, permroot just ignores the fact I hit the button, and reboot reroots me.....
Did something not go right on the original rooting process? Everything seemed to work with gfree so well.
marine668, I was hoping to run standard for a little while before loading a ROM. I'm *really* happy in the performance coming from a MT3G, so I wanted to wait until I had a good reason to load up a ROM.
So, not the end of the world if I can't permroot, just seems odd.....

Iced glacier is practically stock, you can try that out. All they did on that ROM is remove the bloat and add a overclock kernel.
Not to derail too much here, but is Iced Glacier 2.2 or Gingerbread? I was more tempted to jump to G if I do load a ROM.

Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
While the changes in gingerbread are nice, many are cosmetic and will be wasted in a sense ROM. Sure there are some optimizations and some new API's, but really the difference isn't so great that I would say its a must have update. If you like sense, waiting until we have an official 2.3 based ROM to customize is not a big deal. If you want sense, go for Iced Glacier for the time being.
I like it, though currently I am running CM7... I could take either or really.
I actually quite dislike sense. I swapped out the launcher in the first 30 minutes, and booting Sense is a pretty big plus for me.
I think I'll wait until CM7 gets a proper release and go with that.
MODS: I am unsure of where to post this so sorry for the trouble.
So I work for Tmobile and love showing off my rooted mytouch 4g in all its glory.
So I requested a warranty exchange and got a TAIWAN VERSION w/ GOOD SCREEN in return. Like Day and Night.
Upon Receiving my warranty exchange phone it was 2.2.1. I attempted the same Visionary Root Process, (however was there some extra file i needed to DL? i forget)
After rooting my new phone, S-Off, I had flashed FAUX stock kernel 0.4.0b.
THEN THIS HAPPENS:
I cant get past the mytouch 4g splash screen. The first logo that appears. It gets stuck or bootloops. I can HBOOT and get into recovery 3.0.0.5
This is all i can do...i already asked for another warranty exchange...but in the meanwhile..how can i fix this problem or what did i do wrong?
ALSO can you backup one mytouch 4g and load it back up on another mytouch 4g with the same sd card? Thanks!
I had this problem with my MT4G when I flashed his kernal. It seems that his kernals are not designed to work with every 4g device. I hope you did a nandroid backup on the device. I was never able to get past the mytouch splash screen with his kernals

Well, at since you can get into recovery there should be a number of things you can do to get your phone to boot.
Download a new ROM to flash, if you are on clockwork 3 then you need CM7.
Clockwork has usb drive ability, turn it on, transfer the ROM then flash.
If you can get into HBoot or Recovery on ANY phone, you're safe. Hell, if you can't get into HBoot, your phone wouldn't even start up since HBoot is basically the equivalent to BIOS.
THE VERSION OF CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY YOU USE IS CRITICAL!!!
The version you are using is for Android 2.3 only.
Flash a v2 Recovery with adb or fastboot and reinstall your kernel, or install CM7.

If you've ever connected it via USB, it should have installed the drivers automatically (at least on Windows). I think the ADB driver only installs if you had "USB Debugging" checked. Mass Storage usually only refers to mounting the SD card; the driver for ADB is different. Look for something like Android Phone or Android ADB Interface in your device manager (again assuming Windows).
If you have ADB set up, try running the adb devices command. If it spits back the serial number of your phone, you should be okay to proceed.
Don't exchange the phone, fix it...
Just use another phone to copy the latest CM7 to the root of your sdcard and flash, if that doesn't work do the same thing with a PD15IMG.zip file to the root of your sdcard, hboot and restore to stock.
I have no problem with someone doing a warranty exchange for a hardware issue, but if you break your phone, don't make someone else pay for it...
i ended up solving the problem by doing what some of you had suggested. I flashed CM7 and WAH-LaH! when the phone got past the splash screen into CM7 i was on cloud 9.
Now What are the benefits of running CM7? as opposed to going back to Sense w/ Faux kernel again?
PLUS
how would i go back to a sense type rom again? would i go back into rom manager and flash a different recovery?
XDA you have been so helpful!
___bonus__also the haptic feedback on this phone was not as strong as my original..though idk if its just me or not..should i call tmobile and stop shipment of the OTHER phone? how is it i have a taiwan version plum W/ good screen?
There are no Sense-based Gingerbread (Android 2.3) ROMs available now ... Best practice its to make a Nandroid backup of CM7 with your installed CWM Recovery, then flash a version 2.x of CWM Recovery to install any Froyo (Android 2.2) based ROM.

Good to see it is working.
Its mostly personal preference at this point. Sense on the MT4G is pretty responsive and has some nice features. CM7 has its own tweaks and features. You loose the sense widgets but many can be replaced with alternatives in the market. You gain and loose relative in both ROMs So try out both and decide.
Use ROM Manager app to flash a new recovery. One of the 2. versions, then flash a froyo based ROM.
what about flashing kernels..are those "roms"
is cm7 itself pretty battery efficient? i still downloaded setcpu and set it to 11---.
2.XXX ..u mean like 2.5.1.4 for example..sorry not lookin at the phone atm.
++bonus
i also dl the cynogyn updater or wut not..wut url do i add for themes?

Kernels are not ROMs, the kernel is the underlying software of an OS. The kernel talks to the hardware and lets different parts of the OS communicate. Kernels are ROM specific, or Framework specific. A sense ROM can not use a AOSP kernel and vice versa.
CM ROMs can be good on battery, or not. It all depends on personal use and how you set it up.
That is a good recovery to use when flashing sense ROMs.
Not sure about the updater. If it is the one I am thinking, it hasn't been updated in a while. I think it has been abandoned in favor of ROM Manager. CM updater did come in some of his older ROMs, before ROM manager became the norm.
So I can or cannot flash fauxs kernel. I really liked the smartass profile. Also..I'm on cm 7 now...y do I get force closes on my market.

As people have already said, you used the wrong version of clockwork, also, use clockwork to flash a new rom. And make sure you use the right version.

Try fix permissions. If that does not work, do a full wipe (factory reset). If that still does not work, try re-flashing the ROM.
If you flashed a new kernel before you started having issues, this may fix it, or you may need to wipe caches and re-flash the kernel.
I just perm rooted my phone with the gfree method and flash a engineering hboot. I found out I cannot install any apps from the market any more, always says installation unsuccessful. tried to clear the market and market update data, unmounted the SD, but still cannot solve the problem.

From what I have read, no. if you can get it on again and get to hboot you might be able to fix it if you have the eng hboot. Or maybe into recovery and flash a back up or pd15 img. Id take the battery out and let sit put it back in and see what happens.

i took out the battery and let it sit for a while, now i can turn my phone back on again!!! just flashed the cm7, everything seems running fine now. Thanks for all the help so far.
BTW, i did a quadrant test, it seems the score is similar with my previous stock 2.2.1 rom, it is about 1650. I guess this is a bit low from what i read in the forum.
Yeah you can go to settings then cm settings and under performance you can over clock a little bit and get really high score. or under clock for better battery life. mine will score in the 2k range when over clocked.
Just be careful over clocking can cause stress on the processor and damage it.
Glad its working for ya!

Hey guys, I just wanted to share my experience so far. I can't post on the MIUI page because I don't have enough posts, so I'll share here for anyone interested.
For anyone wanting to try MIUI for the DX, here's my experience, some tips, and suggestions.
-Beware, installing or trying to install ANY ROM may brick your phone. although it's very rare and unlikely to be unable to find a solution to problems, it can and has happened. so take caution and read instructions and so-forth carefully.
Some history of my DX. I soft-bricked my phone back in the early months of the DX trying to deodex it to install themes. It was stuck on M logo for 2 days before i learned enough from scratch to find out what an SBF was, where to find it, and how to flash my phone back to stock. Ever since then these nice folk on XDA-developers forums and other droid forums have helped me successfully mod my phone many times, through Q&A, detailed instructions, and a little luck.
I've rooted my phone using the command method, Z4Root, and several other processes. Some were hard to figure out, some soft-bricked my phone, most were easy as pie. I'm on a Z4Root atm.
The first successful ROM I installed was GUMMY-JAR. I liked it, it was good to me. nothing like the comprehensive ROMs out now though.
Then I jumped to Liberty 1.5, Liberty x.x etc... Liberty was awesome, but was still basically Froyo with advanced options. I loved it.
Now, just today, I've installed MIUI. And let me tell you, its amazing!
For anyone running Froyo Liberty ROMs, I believe that you can install MIUI right over the top. I didn't think it was going to work, as I hadn't seen anyone mention if it did or not over the top of Liberty 1.5.
If you want to install MIUI, go here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1181486
You MUST be rooted, and be running FROYO, NOT GB! You must also have the Droid X bootstrapper.
I won't give instructions, as I'm not qualified to do so. But I can tell you what I did from Liberty 1.5. MAKE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP FIRST! 1) I downloaded the MIUI ROM from the above XDA post to my SD card on my phone. 2) I clicked 'bootstrap recovery' on the DX bootstrapper app, then 'reboot recovery.' My phone booted into clockwork recovery mode. 3) wiped data/factory reset. 4) cleared cache. 5) install from SD Card. 6) install MIUI.zip i downloaded from the link i posted above. let it run it's course. rebooted. DONE.
It's really that easy if you are running the DX stock Froyo kernal.
Keep in mind with MIUI, it does NOT auto-sync your Google account. you need to go into the options>>accounts/sync and add your Google account. You can then re-install apps from your backup or just re-download them. Make sure you've synced your contacts with your Google account so they will be there when you add your Google account.
Some thoughts on MIUI...
There is NO STOCK APP DRAWER. I recommend ADW launcher or Launcher PRO. The MIUI launcher inst bad, but it's like iOS in that there's no app drawer. It's just a bunch of screens with all your app icons like an iPhone.
You can download theme's and customize themes through settings>>personal>>theme manager. MIUI allows you to change fonts, boot animation, boot audio, lock-screen style, status bar, icons, launcher, wallpapers, text style, dialer style etc. There's tons of pre-made packages, but you can also change them all individually and create one you like best. You can do all of this directly from the settings menu including looking up new themes, downloading them, and applying them.
MIUI is running on 2.3.4 GB. So it wont say 2.2 anymore after you install. (I believe the kernal is still Froyo though? Please correct me if I am wrong)
I really hope this helps some of you newbies. I am thankful for all of you that have made posts like this that I have found useful in the past.
Note- some people are having issues installing MIUI. They are getting bootlooped on the M logo for some reason. I have no idea why this is, it worked perfectly for me first try. Just remember to follow the instructions on the ROM page, and that you are running the correct version of Android. You shouldn't get a boot-loop if you do so.
Hope this helps!
i have a question.... and this question is what will decide if i keep this or go back to liberty gingerbread....
how the hell do i flash anything.. i can't even install clockwork mod without getting bootloops.... and i'd love to flash certain apps onto this.... but if this can not be done i will have to go back.... the only thing going into recovery does is use the retarded original recovery... and that is a big deal.. if i ruin my phone on the go and need to pullup a backup i can not do this with this rom and i will end up phoneless until i can get to a computer to sbf

What exactly are you asking? "Flashing" is the process of basically overwriting your current Android OS with an Android OS SBF. If you are trying to install MIUI, you cannot do it with Gingerbread installed on your phone. "You MUST be on CyanogenMod 7 or .340 Froyo to flash this rom!" (MIUI)
If you want to install MIUI, i think the best bet would be SBF flashing to stock DX 2.2 .340 FROYO, re-rooting, then using the DX boot-strapper to boot into recovery. Then installing the MIUI .zip from SDcard in the recovery menu. Everything should work fine after that. Rmember you CANNOT go into recovery using DX boot-strapper once this ROM is installed. you CAN go into recovery with this ROM using ROM-manager. This is what I have experienced so far, and what others have said also.
no.. i already have the rom installed... i just want to be able to go into recovery without needing to be booted up.
i'm trying to install some zips through clockwork such as the old blur camera and a few other things... i will install rom manager and see how it goes from there... i love the UI of this rom but as far as being comfortable and stable.. liberty gingerbread has my vote as of now
i've cleared my cache and data several times and i get force closes alot. and this is a clean install coming straight after an SBF.
with liberty gingerbread i had the ability to set it so every phone reboot, even if a battery pull, would boot directly into clockwork mod.. making it easy for me in case i installed a zip that would get me into bootloop
Hmm, sorry mate, I dunno what to tell ya. Try looking aroudn forums or startign a new thread. someone more knowledgable than you or me will help you out.
thanks for everything though!! this really is a beautiful rom and i'd love to stick with it... i'll bite the bullet for the meantime and post around to get some help... i'd love to post in the developer section but i don't have enough posts yet.. haha

You need to install Rom Manager, and select flash Clockwork Recovery. Make sure you select Droid X (2nd Init). Then you can reboot into recovery with Rom Manager :-D

but the problem is that i would like to be able to go into recovery without having to do it through an app... i'd like to make it so every reboot (including battery pull) makes it boot into recovery. thats how i had liberty gingerbread doing it... if not.. i can live with it.. i'll just be a little more careful on what i'm installing
Just wanted to chime in about MIUI rom, I just flashed it yesterday and am ABSOLUTELY loving it thus far. I had no trouble at all installing the rom what-so-ever. I used ROM Manager to do the whole thing: downloaded newest ver. of MIUI, backup current ROM, wipe data and dalvik. Let it run its course and it rebooted and was up and running in no time flat!
