[Q] Bricked HTC Mytouch 4G?

First off let me start by saying I now know what i did wrong. Next is there anyway i can fix it?
I didn't backup anything and then managed to erase everything... I have CM 6 but as of now all i can get is the boot screen. I tried recovery but that won't work becasue there is no backup. also Before I erased everything i managed to turn s on so now i have no way to turn that off correct? Im basicly looking for a way to restore my phone but if it cant be done then i understand. Right now I am using a samsung vibrant with Nero v3 voodo and understand how to install custom roms now

i have almost the same problem as you I don't know what to do I've looked everywhere.

What do you mean... erase everything? How?
Possible steps:
1. factory reset from H-Boot, see if it boots up normally, then re-root.
2. Install PD15IMG from development section, look it up.
Good luck.

Man, do I feel like an idiot...

Same issue here...I have nero v5 on my vibrant lol.
We should've just stayed with the vibrant...

Which recovery did you have installed and which h-boot

Did you try seeing if you could s-off through adb? Im not sure if this will work but Download the files you need to get s-off from ur computer and put it on ur SD card via a card reader or some sort, after you get the necessary files put the SD card back into ur phone. Hook it up to ur computer and maybe you can s-off through adb if you can get ur computer to recognize ur phone. Then IF it works, download a rom via computer to it SD card and boot into recovery and flash. Let me know what happens if it works or not

Should have taken my advice from this thread.

I just went thru the same thing and couldn't restore any of the backups it just kept getting stuck on the flash screen. I downloaded the ice glacier rom on to a spare sd card and flashed it thru hboot recovery and it looks like that did the trick.

hi guys if you still cant get your phones working try mobiletechvideos.com, they fixed my phone , my phone wouldn`t do anything .good reliable service, yes its in texas.

Although you didnt create any backups, is it possible that someone can create a backup of a fresh ROM and send that to you?

youshoe said:
Just take the SD card and put a new ROM on it. Then go to recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalkik cache.
Then install zip from sd card and find it.
I like using Royal Panache 1.3.
I think it's stock Mobilicity ROM but no stock software from carrier. Good stuff.
MIUI and Cyanogenmod 7.1 are also good candidates.
I'm currently testing out ICS and you can test it out as well (but in your case, probably try a working one first =P) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383629&page=1

Wrong, he just randomly revived a thread that last post was made in July 2011.

He revived quite a few of them, trying to market what I believe to be his product. Just look at his messages. Don't want to write the name of the product, since it appears he's scoring just for that.
I've reported his posts, but didn't see mod response yet.

Yet they always get me

Ruined my boss's HTC MyTouch 4G

I have an Epic myself and the security of this new HTC phone threw me for a loop. Anyway , I was trying to put CM7 on his phone , starting from stock. I managed to get CWM 3.0.0.5 on it and then flashed the CM7 from here. Now it is stuck on the white Tmobile screen , Ive let it sit therefor an hour and nothing. But the real problem is that I cant find a way to restore to stock and start over. With the Epic we use a windows program called ODIN in case something like this happens. Ive tried using ADB but the phone is showing offline so I cant push any commands to it. Is there an app like ODIN that will let me factory reset this phone and try this again? Thanks

Sounds like you rooted and flashed CM7 onto it without having s-off. If I'm not mistaking there is another thread similar to this one somewhere. Also you need cclockwork 3.0.0.6 to flash back and fourth from stock and other roms.

you need pd15img.zip on your SD
pd15img.zip reboot into hboot with that file and the part7-0000000000.bin file on your sd and it will load and ask you to push volume up to confirm then wait, it will restore the phone i know i did it, took me 3 damn days to figure out you need that part7.bin file on your sd with that pd15img.zip file...or its a no go, trust me this WILL def work...its a life saver, i did the same thing you did...had clockwork and no s=off...now i successfully restored it and sent it back to tmobile because before i solved it i panic and called for a replacement, told em it wont turn on, they sent the new one, and about 20 mins ago i flashed cm7 after folling this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996 to turn s=off...works great good luck

Where do i get the part7 file and the other one? Thank you

It was creates with you permanent rooted it.. should be on your SD card. In the rooting instructions it tells you to keep that file around.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Just make sure that u dnt keep tryin to flash the rom cause u gonna end up gettin the cant mount cache & data errors,which once that happens nothin can b done with the mt4g.. So if u used the gfree method to root the phone u should have the part7-xxxxxxxx.bin file,stick that to the root of the sd card & put the pd15 file to the root of the sd card,powerdwn or battery pull,reboot into recovery & let the phne do its thing..

I don't think he has that part7-xx......bin file for his mt4g phone since he did not run gfree patch. You can't do stock nandroid restore also because that requires CWM 2.5.1.4 but you can always give it a shot.

Good luck with your boss, hope you don't get fired.

I didn't use the gfree method for getting perm root.
So i never got that part7 file that you speak of....
I have found them online to download but even using someone elses i still doesnt load the .zip from hboot :{

I downloaded the glacier file , like 350 MB or something , renamed it to PD15IMG.ZIP (had to leave the .zip out because windows). Then I found the part7.bin file from another thread. Put both on sd card. Vol down and power, it found the pd15img file and started restoring the image. 15 minutes later the phone boots up just like brand new! Thank you to everybody who helped with this! Sometimes I dont know what i'd do without this place!
P.s.- he still wants gingerbread any suggestions as to best rom?
Thanks again everyone

I think you made a fine choice with CM7. Just make sure you are rooted and have flashed the latest clockworkmod through ROM manager (3.0.2.4 I believe) and it should flash without issue.

No Files SD Card Stuck on 3 Android Skating

Ok I am working on this mytouch it is stuck on the android skating and the SD card is completely blank. the Hboot is 0.86.0000
I want to put the correct files back on the sd card and the correct PD15IMG so that i can un-soft brick this phone i have no other info from the prior owner rooted or not ect.. ADVICE, LINKS, DOWNLOADS ???

Download the gingerbread PD15IMG.zip from here. Place it on the SD Card, boot into hboot, then let it do its thing! Press thanks if I helped

So question? Even if the Android File system is missing on the SD card this will re-build it?

Invasion2 is correct. The "system" files are stored on the internal memory. Any folders/files missing from the sd card that weren't put there by you will be regenerated by android and apps you use.

I was in a boot loop after a failed install of a custom rom - did all the research - came to the conclusions that I had bad emmc - was getting the fail-pu errors when trying to flash the PD15IMG.zip. As a last ditch effort, found a thread that talked about SD format - yep found out it was an issue with my SD card format. I ended up putting another SD card in that worked in another phone (could also format a new card FAT32) and was able to finally get past this and get the stock (froyo) image on.

Yes but this is for a phone with custom recovery that is not the case here this is a stock phone with s on

I already tried re formatting to fat32 when i load the froyo image it loads it and skips the update to the mytouch 4g screen no failed pu message just with the gingerbread img.

Yeah dude you have a paperweight. I would just go to Tmo and ask for a replacement. Say it just shut off automatically or something. Sorry, hope I helped.

Final word
As I said I am working on this phone so I have to deliver the bad news. The person who owns the phone bought it used and was using it then updated and things went bad. Hope this thread helps someone. Thank you for the repsonse

Tried both RUU 2.2 & 2.3 (one click method)

First
here is my phone info:
speed xe eng s-off
hboot-0.92.2001
pg0610000
radio 1.08.00.0506
eMMC-boot Nov 15 2010

I tried both RUU 2.2 RUU 2.3, and both window desk top method and fastboot usb, it kept say error 170 usb connection error.
I didn't turn on the usb storage, and unchecked the debugging. There was no option on my phone to set charging only. Do I need to install a driver for the phone? window Window 7 machine.
Please help.

Have you tried the PG06IMG.zip ruu?
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk 2

Not sure about the error but there is a USB driver you need to install for you PC which I had to install before running the root method I used(forgot which, to be honest). Pretty sure it allows you computer to talk to your phone though I could be completely wrong.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427713
Says it's Win 7 compatible and for the Evo Shift but the file name says 32, so if you're running 64, you want to Google search before to make sure it's universal.

i tried to volumn down and power, it said something wrong...., it went too fast I couldn't see it all. It went straight to hboot.
My sd card is formatted to fat32.
I was having trouble with my camera, and is on TeamAndroid AOSP Roms, and partitioned my sdcard (500m out of 16g).
One thing when I partition the sdcard, i didn't make a back up, so I lost everything was on the sd card. so my current sdcard has no recovery.img or anything, other the files the rom created after flashed. No sure it makes any different.
Should do fastboot or recovery now? I'm on Hboot.
Please help.

Is the zip on the root of your sd card? Shouldn't be inside any folders. Also make sure it's named PG06IMG.zip exactly. Once you boots into hboot it should ask if you want to update

thank you and thank you.

I may have missed something but I hope you aren't extracting the actual PG06IMG.zip file. It needs to go onto your sdcard intact.
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium

jsp254 is correct, I hope your not extracting the file. The PG06IMG.zip needs to be run in HBOOT. Like crump said it should be found automatically when you boot into HBOOT. You will be prompted on whether you want to flash the zip or not.

FYI, I had an issue with the 2.3 PG06IMG.zip where it flashed my bootloader to S-ON and refused to downgrade to from 2.77 to 2.76 (2.3.4 PG06IMG.zip)
I had to use the thunderbolt misc.img trick in order trick it to downgrade.
Becareful recommending things like this, guys. We're lucky we have this trick or you could screw a few people over by telling them they can use this .zip to downgrade. [I almost screwed myself over]

Thats kind of a pain.
I used http://goo.im/stock/speedy/ruu/PG06..._1.88_0128_PRL60674_release_196686_signed.zip
However, after it updated to S-ON, it says "Main Version is older! Update fail"
Do I need to use the 2.2 RUU?
EDIT:fastboot getvar version-main
2.77.651.3
Hrm. Did I screw up here?
Can I still use the 2.2 RUU?
Do I need to use the downgrade techniques to get it to downgrade?
EDIT2: I flashed the misc.img in order to trick hboot into installing 2.3.4 stock.
I'm not sure if I was suppose to have to do that.. but whatever, it worked.

Yes ignore all virus warnings. It's funny because after doing a virus scan with avast! on my pc it wanted to delete the visionary app lol. I know it's a malicious app for rooting exploits on android but it shouldn't be warning me about it on my pc lol.

I have Viper on my Laptop. It says a lot of my Android Stuff that I've used a bunch of times is Malicious . It has something to do with the security settins. But I've changed them to the lowest settings, with still the same message. I've also had it delete the Visionary apk. But at this point I just shut it down when I'm doing something I know it will interfere with. Gives me the same messages with RUU's .

[Q] My phone took rom off itself

hi there i have my my touch 4g running jellybean 4.1.1 and some reason today when i went to go in the boot menu and change my splash screen it like restarted itself. Every time i try to click recovery in the boot menu it shows the pd15 files and then shows you need to update it. So basically i guess it went back to its original skin ,but still has everything. I see the s is off. Is there a way to be able to go back or do i have do the whole entire rooting process over again? I really appreciate all your help.

You need to remove the PDxx.img file from your SDcard otherwise evertime you go to the bootloader it will boot the stock ROM.

If you flashed a ROM of some sort using the PD15IMG.ZIP method (such as a stock Froyo or GB ROM), it exists in the root of your SD card (so, under /sdcard). You should see it by hooking up the phone and browsing to the top level of the card, or you could take the SD card out and examine it directly. If you don't rename if after an install, every time you try to boot the bootloader will look for it and try to reinstall it.
Whether you need to reroot again kind of depends on what the PD15IMG was. If you went back down to a stock ROM, then you would probably have to at least go through the rooting steps again (but not the S-off part).

I've only had that happen a couple of times when a ROM did not load successfully. Usually it's recoverable, but it sounds like in this case you *might* (I would ask somebody with more experience) need to reflash the CWM recovery via adb in order to get it working once again.

Yeah. The PD15IMG.zip put the stock recovery back on. Just flash the custom recovery of your choice.
