edit:ive waited about an hour now still on first boot img

Its hanging most likely b/c you didnt use the base rom found in ~enom~'s thread.

Flashed False Rom

Hi,
I have following problem:
Yesterday i tryed to follow the unroot and S-on guide but it was late and i flashed the g2 rom to my Desire z.
Now i cant recover back to my stock sense rom. Every time i try, i am stuck at the htc splash screen.
I've tried serveral other e.g CM7 rc0, some Stock Htc roms, and 2 other rom.
The only Rom that is working is the virtuos rom, it showes me in Settings->Phone identity->Model Number "tmobile-g2" i think thats the problem why i cant flash back to another rom.
Can someone help mi please fix this?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.

You can use any of the custom ROMs, doesn't matter if it is a G2 or DZ. Have you used all of the wipe functions in the recovery before flashing a new ROM?

Hi,
The problem was that i flashed the g2 stock rom...
I changed my clockwork recovery version from 3.0.0.0 to 2.5.1.1 and i was able to restore to my old backup.
But i have 3 more Problems now. I have no Settings and no on screen keyboard and can't root (every time i try sense restarts and then my phone crashes).
I am trying now to install a RUU to get everything back to stock.

Use a pc10img.zip to restore everything back to stock.

[Q] Clcokwork Recovery Help

I rooted my phone successfully and installed clockwork recovery ROM manager 3.0.0.5, and have been running gingerbread since, However I miss Sense UI sometimes.
Now I am trying to go back to carrier 2.2.1 (stock tmobile mytouch 4g) , but am having no luck finding the correct ROM. All I have seen on the internet is the pre OTA rom 2.2 , but I wanna go back to 2.2.1 (just the way I got it, because I fear that I won't get the OTA to 2.2.1 because of the 3rd party ROM Manager) .
So here is a breakdown :
This is what I am looking for
A 2.2.1 tmobile mytouch 4g ROM
I understand that flashing this Rom will un-root the phone.
Here is something I have confusion about (which was largely cleared by article "[MOD] EZ Clockwork 3.0.0.6 Install>>Newest CwM Recovery and Stock Recovery included")
Will I be able to get Tmobile's OTA upgrade when gingerbread 2.3 comes out ? even with the 3rd party rom manager installed, is there a way to go back to the original tmobile rom manager, I should have done my research in the beginning, I do not even know what it is called?
Please help

Well first of all I have to ask why do you want to go back to stock? Are you aware of Ice Glacier? Its clean stable and runs better out of the box.
Now if you want Ice Glacier then go down to Dev section and download v1.1.6 and give it a try. Taking it that you didn't use it but if you have and you would still like to go back to stock then go to Dev section and find the stock PD15IMG as it will revert you back to stock rom and radio along will disable s-off. As I am on MT4G I can't link it but the thread is by football just go to the end page and download it from the link I posted which can be found on Phatless's sig. Keep in mind it's same thing but the link posted in OP is unstable as it takes forever to download.
If you don't know how to use it then ill tell you anyways just download the PD15IMG.zip and put it in root of your SDCard and then go in to bootloader and follow the screen, keep in mind this is not done though recovery.

Did you do a nandroid backup of your phone prior to flashing CM7?
If you did you can flash the 3.0.0.6 Recovery image or use True_Blues .ZIP
If you did just flash back to the supplied ROM when u bought the phone.
With recovery 3.0.0.6 you can flash back to your stock sense ROM and keep the rooted end of things.
If you do go back to 100% stock and flash the PD15IMG you will go back to 100% stock in every way fit form and function. And yes you will get T-Mobiles 2.3 update when and if they decided to come out with it.
Even if you do keep root access T-Mobile will try to push the new OS to your phone. but i would HIGHLY HIGHLY suggest either going back to stock prior to accepting the OTA. Or keep your Root status and use a variant of their ROM.

"Are you aware of Ice Glacier? Its clean stable and runs better out of the box.

No Sir, I do not know what this is , the only thing I have tried so far is CM7, I would love to try Ice Glacier today.
Is it Gingerbread or is it Froyo ? Does it work with clockwork recovery Mod 3.0.0.6 ?
Thank you
(*meanwhile off to find what Iced Glacier is)

neidlinger,
thank you for the reply, I think I understand this better now.
blackshelf,
" keep in mind this is not done though recovery"
Thank you for this information, I will keep this in mind if I want to go to stock mytouch 4g after trying Iced Glacier.
Will let you know soon.

blackshelf,
does it matter what ROM I am on while flashing Iced Glacier?
Thank you much.

Iced Glacier is 2.2.1 (FroYo) based ROM that based off the OE from T-Mobile. Personally i am a AOSP fan. Regardless of 2.2 or 2.3, and do not like the bloat that comes with Sense.... .But i've heard alot of GOOD reviews regarding I/G. I'd recommend flashing the 3.0.0.6 then giving it a run.

Sorry was away but to add to what neidlinger said as he covered most of it. IG is based on stock but with few things added and removed thus balancing stability and performance. I think you will enjoy it also it has built in OC kernel (Gorilla v0.5 @ 1.7ghz). And no it does not matter what rom you had installed but I highly recommend you do full total wipe and then flash the rom via newest CWM so you can swtich between 2.X and 3.X based roms.

Thank you! I am done flashing and now it is stuck in the ANDROID screen with the light at the bottom going left to right.... is this normal for it to hang on for so liong its been about 2 minutes?

Oops I am so impateint, but I am a noob and it freaking scres me because I have read about "bricked phones too many times", but now I am in and am setting up the phone. Looks like Iced Glacier will do just fine for me, I think I am however going to miss the android 2.3's battery life (vanilla install CM7) .. and surprisingly I also miss the gingerbread keyboard already, I am ready to download it from the market.
Thank a bunch to both of you.
What is AOSP? do you mean vanilla Android?

AOSP = Android Open Source Project. It's as basic Android as one can get. Sense is nice. But i don't use Facebook or Twitter (anymore) so i have no need for the added bloat.

Lol believe it or not IG has the most and I do mean most stable and efficient power consumption than CM7 once you set it up correctly. Play with it and add things to it as most of the apps you can install on it as you had on CM7. Far as AOSP goes you been using it on CM7(ASOP2.3.2:GB) as neid said what it means.

Sorry, thanks for the AOSP info.

I'd read through the thread for it, or search for specific keywords. Or post the same question there. can you log in to your google account?

Another thing.. what happends to the mod that was downloaded on the sd card when we flash it? does it get moved to the phone's internal storage and away from the card..?
This market issue is killing me

yeah, my contacts are synced via google, just the apps don't get downloaded.

Try booting into recovery, formatting the cache, Dalvik Cache then fixing permission then reboot.

Flashing Problems

Hey guys,
I have been trying to flash my Samsung Vibrant for a few days now with no success. I rooted the phone using superoneclick, then I clicked on Axura's link on android development section to get Axura 2.3.1.2. I followed the video posted by the dev to install the new Rom. It stated to use OCLF, then use Rom manager to install the app.
Well I went into Rom manager installed clockworkmod recovery 2.5.1.2 I believe it was. Then I click on install Rom and it asked if I wanted to backup current rom and wipe cache. I checked both and hit okay, the list came up where I had Axura installed on my Sd I clicked that......it said phone will reboot into clockworkmod recovery to load, after that is when the problem starts. It automatically goes into Samsung recovery i select reinstall packaged and get error e: signature not verified.
I have tried to get into recovery manually by holding vol -+ and power but still loads into samsung recovery not clockwork. Has anyone ran into this problem before?? I've searched all over the forum and google and could not find any info to help me with this. I really would like to install some custom Roms to try them out.
Thank you very much in advance to anyone who can help. I tried to be as specific as I can with the problem but if you guys need more info I can give more. Thank you

Have you updated to 2.2 already? The official 2.2 comes with a new recovery version, that causes problems with CWR.
If you had upgraded, odin back to 2.1, then root and flash a custom firmware from there. I recommend Bionix V 1.3.1, it is pretty beast.

I upgraded to 2.2 Froyo with Kies Mini couple of weeks ago. I was tired of waiting for it and thought it was going to be a big improvement over Eclair but didnt notice anything except losing my MMS messaging!
Is there any way to do it with Froyo before I Odin back to Eclair?
Thank you

I think you need to reflash pick the vibrant out of the list and when superuser pups up click ok.

?? I'm sorry I'm a noob to all this so I may not be understanding the quick terminology. Thank you for your response.

Therr is a thread im the dev section on how to modify the recovery but tbh its easier to odin and start the process over...it's not like you weren't going to habe to wipe the phone when you flashed custom firmwares.

[Q] Can't unroot, "Main version is older"

I'm trying to unroot my phone so I can send it back in for a replacement but whenever I try to flash the PD15IMG in the bootloader it says the "Main version is older" and the update fails. I used the PD15IMG from the unlockr, but I guess I guess I need an updated one? Anyone know how I can fix this?
EDIT:
I ended up figuring everything out. Here's the thread I made that explains everything.

Tmobile doesnt look to see If your phone is rooted or Not. There only interested in the physical aspect of the device.

you should have reverted back to the stock radio before flashing the stock PD15IMG...you could try flashing the newest updated RUU and then downgrade back to 2.2

alright so i tried flashing the stock radio, but now the bootloader says i have s-on? does this mean i'm not rooted anymore, even though i'm running a custom rom?

I ran into the same problem as youre having when I tried to revert back to stock. flashed the stock PD15IMG in hboot, but was on an updated radio. you still have root access even tho it says s=on, but you can ONLY use the rom you were currently using when trying to go back to stock. (ex- if you were on Virtuous Unity v2.39 then you could only flash and use that rom) theres a thread that goes more into detail, heres the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092170 make sure you read the entire thread carefully
from what I understand, youll have to flash an updated RUU to fix the issue

Thanks for the link man, I should've searched before I posted. I read through the whole thing, and I'm still not sure what to do.. just a thought, but would this basically be like trying to root from the official 2.3.4 OTA?
And if there's an RUU for the GB OTA would that work in HBOOT, since it has the updated radio?

same thing happened to me, i have a glacier. (mytouch 4g) would appreciate any help. I was actually trying to restore to stock, unroot, and now i am s-on rooted

I got my problem resolved. If anyone has the same problem I made a thread about how to fix it.
