How do I find out if my MT4G has NAND protection? In case it's relevant, I'm rooted with S-OFF, running ClockworkMod recovery image and a CyanogenMod ROM.
S-on - nand (or rather emmc) protected
S-off - write-enabled.
You're good.

i have a rogers magic with the perfected spl, i tried the one click rooting method anywayz cause i read it worked for some ppl, well it worked for me also, and i flashed the latest recovery image from amon ra and also wiped and loaded amon ra's 1.6.2 donut rom, everything went perfectly. the thing is lightning wont strike twice cause i cannot seem to use the one click root again and it has gone back to the stock recovery image.
Edit: I still have the recovery image loaded, and the perfect spl, should i just count my blessings or should i attempt to change my spl????
One touch root does not work on donut.
This is how to root a donut phone

You must downgrade to 1.5 cupcake first to root again.
No guys, i have a rogers magic, which means i was running 1.5 cupcake cause rogers refuses to update, i had to update that rom to fix the sms timestamp issue, as a result i have the perfect spl, but i tried the one click root and it worked to my surprise, so i then loaded the Amon Ra 1.6.2 donut rom and it worked flawlessly, i'm running it right now with no issues so far.
My question is should i try to change the perfected spl although i have root or should i carry on as normal
Wonder how the recovery can just go back to stock default??
Are you positive you actually flashed the recovery image into your phone and didnt just use adb to boot into ra recovery image ?
Somethings sounds very odd here :S
Yes i'm sure, i made an error, the recovery did not go back to stock. i was getting my timing wrong on the button pressing. i still have the latest amon ra recovery image which is 1.5.2 i think.
Its a PVT 32A Ship S-On H
Hboot-1.33.0010 (SAPP50000)
CPLD- 12
Radio-3.22.20.17
Is this the perfect SPL, if so how was i able to loada custom recovery image and most importantly shoud i try to change it or leave it alone.
I'm running Amon Ra 1.6.2 Donut rom now
any help would be appreciated
did the same tut from the unlockr and it works... its rooted and with amons recovery rom and im running the hofo rom aswell as i just updated the recovery rom so i can confirm its rooted
Hey everyone- I used the hboot push method to update my OS to the 8/26 leak which updated the radio, hboot & obviously updated the phone to Froyo. I did a nandroid backup of how the phone was before all of this. I did not realize that doing a push through hboot would wipe the phone. I would like to revert back to how my phone was and didn't know if running a Nandroid restore is safe with the radio and whatnot... Suggestions?
it will not:
*revert radio
*revert hboot
it will:
*revert OS version
(if im not mistaken)
I have just rootet my magic, but i cant backup my recovery with recovery flasher 1.1.3 .
I think the last 1.5 rom for magic 32a is patched against flash recovery.
And the rom manager doesnt support a backup of the current recovery.
How can backup my stock recovery??
Magic 32a s-on h
1.76.0009 spl
6.35 radio
no one an idea?
i'll be sure, before i flash a custom recovery, i am able to go back.
so i need a orginal recovery.img
the best would be the own, but i cant backup the recovery.
Its not that we don't know how it's just thar there is no reason to.. if you can get into the bootloader you can restore the stock rom via SAPPIMG.zip or SAPPIMG.nbh .. this includes the stock recovery.
Having a stock recovery on a custom rom is not very useful.
Just note while you have the 6.x radio you want a hero custom recovery
(Advance users unzip the sappimg and grab recovery.img ..)
thanks for the information about the SAPPIMG.zip or SAPPIMG.nbh, it was very usefull.
i'll try the clockwork recovery with the rommanager out of market.
i think this is possible, or isnt it?
with the 6.35 radio?
I've heard about lots of bricked phones thanks to clockwork/rom manager. Use AmonRA's recovery.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In theory it will be fine if you use the hero recovery not the ion/magic one..
But given the confusion/problems/near bricks of others.. I agree getting the hero RA recovery and booting it manually with home+power is the safest way... that way if you goof you just boot android normally and try the flash again.
ok i will flash amonRA recovery.

best i have ever seen
Im currently running Iced Glacier 1.1.6 with CWM recovery 3.0.0.5
In order to fully restore the phone to stock, meaning stock recovery, bootloader S-OFF and stock rom, dom I first restore the stock recovery or does the fastboot image loader restore eveyrthing to stock (as described in this method http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/16/how-to-unroot-the-t-mobile-mytouch-4g/)
I need to know because I might have to send in my phone for some repairs and want everything to be stock so they dont say anything about warranty voids.
there is a thread in the development section with the PD15IMG.zip file...
http://www.filedropper.com/pd15imgglaciertmous1175312radio1228b60140e26030226mrelease155771signed is a link to it...rename it to PD15IMG.zip and place it on the root of your SD card...power off the phone...turn it on by holding the vol down and power button...let it do its thing
Hi,
a friend gave me an HD2 which stopped booting about three months ago, when he tried to install android on it, without really knowing what he was doing.
I have a bit of experience in installing custom roms in some android devices (HTC Vision, Samsung P1000...), but I know nothing about HD2 or any windows phones.
This is what it says after switching on:
tinypic.com/r/2hywdp4/5
This is after switching on with windows key pressed:
tinypic.com/r/29y43fb/5
This is after switching on with volume key pressed:
tinypic.com/r/25i3f9c/5
[sorry I can't create links because I'm new to xda]
Is there a way to go back to a working status?
If I fix it, I'll earn some glory and a free beer.
The final aim would be to install a NAND android rom, preferably CM7 or similar.
Thanks a lot.
Correct me if i'm wrong guys, but this pic :

is the bootloader mod and it says that you have HSPL 2.08
In my opinion, you just have to flash back a windows 6.5 ROM and follow the whole process to get android (Flash MAGLDR, [....] , and flash a CM7 NANDROID Rom using the clockworkmod) refering to the tutorials in the NANDROID section.
Its not bricked. Just restart the process to install Android as jediL pointed out and you should be good to go. Check here for a detailed explanation on how.
Ok the pictures help a lot. From what I see the first picture is what you see when you boot a HD2 that has clk installed for the custom bootloader but does not have as Android ROM in memory to boot. This is the only reason you well ever see clk at all if you just power on a HD2 with clk installed.
The second pictures is clk trying to boot into recovery but is not able to. It probably either has some kind of problem booting the flashed version or it just does not have a custom recovery flashed to it. My bet is it does not have a custom recovery flashed to it. As most people have problems Glasgow.g a recovery after flashing clk if they are not using the HD2 NAND Toolkit.
The third picture is the the stock bootloader of the HD2 and yes it shows you have HSPL 2.08 installed so you are good with HSPL and do not need to flash HSPL 2.08 to your HD2.
Now to get you on to getting Android up and running. Seeing as you already have clk on your HD2 you do not need to flash it. You do need to flash a custom recovery and you can either check out the guide linked in my sig to flash it via fasboot comands manually or you can use the HD2 NAND Toolkit to flash it in a more automatic way, or to be more specific a more noob friendly way. There is a link to the toolkit in the guide linked in my sig.
You need to pick out what Android ROM you want to use and read the first few post by the ROM chef to see what partition size you need to have and use the Toolkit to repartition the NAND memory to that size. Next download the .zip file for the ROM, make sure you get the version that is for clk. Some ROMs have only one version though that works with MAGLDR and clk. Next copy the .zip to the root of your SD card and then power on your HD2 holding down the home button and your recovery will boot up. Then just find the option that says install from SD card and then select the ROM file and flash it.
I installed HD2 NAND Toolkit.
I executed the following operations:
- Wipe (Task29)
- cLK repartition (150mb)
- cLK install recovery
then I rebooted into CWM recovery and installed the HyperDroid rom.
Now I have a fully working CM7-based android phone!
Thanks a lot!
