I have read all the other Mytouch 4g stuck splash threads but, this is one different.
After rooting the phone, I got S=OFF, So I installed Clockwork and flashed CM 6.1.2-RC2. I received no error messages, but on reboot, it just stays on the Splash.
Here is the info from HBOOT:
GLACIER PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT 0.85.2007 (PD1510000)
MICROP-0429
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
OCT 11 2010 12:44:14
The Clockwork Mod is:
Clockwork Mod Recovery v3.0.0.0
I have done wipe data/factory and wipe cache partition
Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Gave error E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Fix Permissions
and I have flashed the CM Mod 6.1.2 RC-1 as well.
What else can I try to get my phone to work again?
I'm pretty sure it was said that you can't flash CM6 with Clockwork Recovery 3, and you can't flash CM7 with with CWR 2, and that doing it will brick your phone.

Your problem is that you're using the wrong recovery to flash cm6. That requires cwm 2.5.1.2. To fix this, flash either cm7 or evils miui rom, boot that up, then use rom manager to flash the correct recovery for cm6, if you still wish to use it.

Thanks to all those that replied and for that great info.
Good news: My phone is not bricked
More good news: I had to install a nightly build called CM_Glacier_full-22 and that did the trick, just like you said.
Now i just gotta find out how to get all the apps (market and things) back on.
Thanks all!

to answer the uspoken question there, to get the market and other google apps back flash the google apps zip from the same place you got the nightly build. (here's a link, just in case: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/14459-nightlies-cm7-discussion-of-nightlies/ and its the link marked gapps. to reinstall the rest of your apps, if you have titanium backup, use that, but otherwise it will require manual redownloads from the market.
Thanks for the update, I was able to get the gapps zip and load it with CWM all is fine apps,contacts and all.

I had Leak 2.1v3 on my phone, and following the XDA thread, I've successfully rooted my Eris using the stock 8gb card. Twice. I re did the root thinking I corrupted the RUU file, or something else during the initial root. I have Amon recovery installed and accessible at will.
I have full access to my phone with adb shell with SU access, but I'm unable to boot into any custom rom. So far I've tried Evil Eris 3.0 and Aloysius. They install without errors, but on reboot the phone to access the rom, the phone will freeze or loop. I've tried waiting over 20 minutes with the HTC boot screen flashing about every 15 seconds after installing Aloysius.
I'm still showing hboot 1.49.0000 S-ON. Is this what is stopping me from booting a custom rom? Or am I missing something that will change the security status to off?
Suggestions? What am I missing?
Thanks
Ok, looks like I got somewhere, I managed to install the grdlock beta rom. Not sure why the other roms wouldn't install tho. They all came from the same source. hboot is still 1.49.0000 S-ON tho.

The new rooting method ("Incredible/Slide") does not currently replace the S-ON bootloader, so phones rooted this way will not have 1.49.2000 S-OFF on them.
As for your troubles, you need to Wipe /data (FR) in Amon_RA recovery before you install a new ROM. Amon_RA does not enforce wiping of the /system and /data partitions before a new rom is loaded from the SD card, so you probably ended up with a mixture of old ROM and new ROM in a couple of places. (The dev can pre-clean those partitions in the update-script, but I'm not sure if that happens for the ROMs you mentioned.)
Always a good idea to wipe before a new ROM install (not necessary for a Nandroid restore, though, because it does a wipe itself).

I thought I'd wiped those caches within Amon recovery. Good to know that I'm not going insane with the 1.49 S-ON tho! I couldn't find anything anywhere to let me know the S-ON was normal. After I get everything up and running with the grdlock rom, I'll back it up and try one of the other roms, being darn sure to wipe everything Amons will let me wipe first. Thanks for the info!
It appears that the rom files that I was using were corrupt. Without the md5 info for those files I had no way of checking. I went to a different site and downloaded Aloysius 12, and it's up and running just fine now
Thanks for the nudges in the right direction!
Ok guys i am sorry to bother all of you but i made a stupid mistake. i think i didnt slept well.
So instead of wiping out my SD Card in recovery mode, something got into me to wipe the misc,recovery,data,cache and everything!
I have access to FASTBOOT and the info is as follows:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP100000)

Is there any method i can unbrick my phone?
Goldcard.
Or setup ANDROIDSDK, put the custom recovery in the tools folder, open a command prompt there and type "fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img" and reflash your ROM.

thanks for the advice i will try it
hi it would seem that i can find a recovery image here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492 and install it.
i can get to home + power = clockwork mod recover v 2.5.0.1
i can install a zip from sdcard but after reboot it still shows the HTC Magic screen!
ok if i remember what i did wrongly this is what i did
in partitions i:
format boot
format system
format dat
format cache
format sdcard
format sd-ext
after this i can still get into recovery. can my phone be saved?
Yes it can... easy :0)
1) download CM 6.1 ROM from here: http://goo-inside.me/cm/dream_sapphire/stable/update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip
2) Also download the EBI1 kernel from here: http://briancrook.ca/android/cm-ports/bc-6.1.0-ebi1-signed.zip
3) Restart into recovery
4) wipe ALL <- important
5) flash the ROM
6) flash the EBI1 kernel
7) reboot and you should be OK.
thanks! i will give it a try.
hi i am able to boot into this rom. but this rom is not quite usable. it doesnt have a market place and all. what do i do with this rom?
Sorry, i forgot about the gapps :0)
gapps = google applications
Flash this from recovery:

You should now have a fully funtional rom by CyanogenMod(CM)
Source: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_version#EBI1CM6
thanks so much for the help. one thing i notice is that the clorkwerk recovery couldnt be installed properly.
what is a more stable ROM that you should advise that i use for long term?
There are many options to chose from.
You got the 32A board - CPLD-12.
You can use the new radio / old radio combos to chose from many different roms.
But to stick to your original problem, i think the main problem was that you did not wipe correctly causing the new rom to fail.
Always remember to wipe when installing a new rom unless it known to be "upgradable" from earlier versions/roms.
I will read around the forums and have a look at the development section for other roms.
For the old radio combo which you currently have, i will dare to claim that the CM 6.1 is the best choice!
But again, i bet that there are many willing to dispute that postulation :0)
hi mumilover, i am sorry for the noob question but when u say wipe what do you mean specifically?
because i did a :
format boot
format system
format dat
format cache
format sdcard
format sd-ext
am i suppose to wipe that much things? i suppose system, cache and dat can wipe but should i format the boot and system?
I know there are a lot threads with similar title, but I couldn't find something useful.

We were able to flash Amon Ra (recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H.img) following this method How To: Root the HTC Magic in One Click!.
After that my coworker tried to flash this ROM (SuperflyTCBY1.1DSF) from the recovery, but after flashing, it couldn't boot. It is now always stuck at TIM logo. Than we tried flashing again some ROMs which doesnt require new radio but nothing seems to help.
We can access recovery and hboot, so is there any hope ? Anyone has some idea what we could do ?
It means that the Rom you flashed seems not suitable. Or may be it requires full wipe but u did not.
Try to reflash the rom with full wipe in recovery, if still can not run, chose other 3.22 ROM
Good luck

I forgot to mention that before every ROM flash we did 'factory reset' and 'wipe dalvik cache' from the recovery, but still no go.
Could you recommend any good 3.22 [32A] ROM ?

I did not use 3.22 radio so I don't know.
I think u should wipe all in recovery, not only dalvik cache.
Also u may need to change your phone from S-ON to S-Off in order to remove app from system
How is this Development related???

Wrong and wrong. You only need to have security turned off to run fastboot commands. Your fine with only wiping data and dalvik-cache. Can't recommend any ROMs but there should be a list available in the ROM Bible which is stickied in the Development forum.

I have Desire with S-ON, installed LeeDroid 2.2. When I removed app in system such as Calculator, News, Voice,.. by Titanium or deleted by Root Explorer, the icons still there and the app still run. They said that If I want to delete these apps, I need to get S-Off first.

Flash in this order without any reboots:

2) kernel
3) gapps
4) Wipe <-- VERY IMPORTANT
reboot and you should be good to go...

Hello,ive installed gingerbread yoshi rom,but i want to delete it and install the cyanogen mod rom(stable),for my mytouch 3g original.Now how can i do this?ive looked anfd foudn nothing,and also,the downloaded file(rom)from cyanodegn mod rom its 55 mb's,so i just put the whole zip folder into the root of the memory card and go into recovery mode and install from zip?anyways i hope somebody can help,thanks
The only thing you need to do is to put the cyanogen.zip into the root of your sdcard and then boot into recovery and select "flash .zip".
Next time you flash a custom rom I recommend you to make a nandroid backup (this will backup all data including rom). If you don't like the rom you just flashed you are able to recover nandroid backup.
i did that and it gets stuck on the green mytouch screen.i wiped all data,cache partition,then intalled rom from zip and nothing

First, I would superwipe. You can download it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834812
Boot into recovery, and assuming you are on amon_ra or clockworkmod recovery, choose intall from zip and run superwipe. Power down the phone and boot back into recovery. Now install Cyanogen mod and you should be fine.
Make sure you have the right cm file for your phone. I don't recall seeing what version of the mytouch you have. For example, if you have the original mytouch with the 32B, and If you updated the radio and spl when you installed Yoshi ginger, make sure you get the cyanogem mod 6.1 for the 2708 radio.
Good luck.
try yoshi froyo
Sorry, forgot to add this....
you may also want to try Yoshi Froyo rather than cyanogenmod.

What's your fastboot info? Turn the phone on holding (back+power) and post that here.
Hey Guys,
Newb here. My head hurts from banging my head half the night trying to figure out what went wrong. It's probably something simple but I just can't figure it out. I'm now at the mercy of you guys.
Everything went fine until I added the rom and reboot all it does it stick at the Mytouch 4G splash screen no matter how long I let it sit. I have no problem getting back to recovery mode and I can also get into clockworkmod and tell it to boot the rom. Then it just hangs at splash screen

Here are my steps for getting a rom to load.
1.Hold volume down and power.
2.Boots into recovery
3.Choose Recovery which loads ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.4
4.Wipe data/factory reset (seems to work fine)
5.Wipe Cache (seems to work fine)
6.Wipe Dalvik Cache (Get E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext])(Dalvik Cache Wiped)
7.Install zip from SDCARD
8.choose zip from SDCARD (RoyalGiner_v3.0_final.zip)
9 installs fine (Install from sdcard complete)
10. reboot system now
11 Hangs at Tmobile Mytouch 4G splash screen
Any guiadance would be awesome.
Lots of thanks in advance!
Download the rom again from your computer and place it in your sdcard and wipe cache/data and try flashing again.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
Your steps look perfectly fine. I would delete the zip and re-download it. You probably just have a bad download. If that doesn't work, try a different ROM and see if you get the same issue. You aren't getting any bad errors, so I am still sticking with bad download.
Make sure to check the MD5SUM.
What i do when i flash a new ROM is this
Download the ROM to the computer
Code:
c:\adb adb push <rom_name>.zip /mnt/sdcard
it will kick out a reading that it pushed so many Kb in so many seconds
Code:
c:\adb adb shell
# md5sum /mnt/sdcard/<rom_name>.zip
it will kick out the MD5SUM of that .zip
Then i will copy the md5SUM from on the CMD prompt then "crtl &f " find the MD5SUM on the page that i got the ROM from. To make sure they 100% match.
then
Code:
# reboot recovery
then from there i do a factory reset and wipe the Dalvik cache. Then flash the ROM & G/APPS (if needed)
Thanks for the tips guys. I've tried multiple roms and all result in the same stuck splash screen. I guess tonight I will install the SDK stuff and give adp a try and see what I can come up with. I guess I missed something when doing the visionary/Gfree root. I followed this guys videos Mackster248 off youtube. Everything seemed to work but I guess something is wrong somewhere lol...

Just in the future, make sure that you check the md5sum of the download before flashing it so you will save time if its a corrupted download. And definatly make a backup with rom manager before wiping/flashing new roms.
I really appreicate the help guys. Yesterday I was able to download PD15IMG.zip recovery file and when I booted into recovery mode it detected it reverted everything back to square besides the S-OFF. Im going to attempt to root it again at a later date. I think to learn alittle more Im going to take my old mytouch g3 and mess with it.
