Hi Guys,
I need some help. My MyTouch 3g 32B is stuck on the green mytouch boot screen when I turn on the phone right after I tried flashing a custom rom. I tried wiping and reflashing as well as starting over from scratch with the original Cupcake build and updating it to the Froyo 2.2.1 OTA. I want to continue installing custom roms. Please help!

on Froyo 2.2.1 OTA
(I was not able to stay on 1.5 or 1.6 OTA after downgrading because of Google Activation issues)
You need to flash a 2708 kernel after flashing the ROM.

He does't need to re-root, he just needs a different kernel then what comes with CM 6.1 (which is what he's trying to flash).
Didn't he un root and then update to 2.2 ota like in his post. I assume he didn't mean ezterry's 2.2 ota. I could be wrong. Then again he wouldn't have problems with continuing to flash roms.

Listen to what the man (DonJuan692006 ) tells you!
Donjuan is right. Flash a 2708 kernel. I'm running 2.2.1 as well and needed the new kernel to stop the boot loop

Actually you are correct sir. He will need to re-root and re-install the custom recovery if he did in fact go back to pure stock, re-flash CM 6.1, and then flash a new kernel.

Do a search for pd15img.zip.

Look in the development section. There are a ton of step by step guides if you search.

To revert back all you need to is flash the original tmobile rom that is in the rom development and it will take u back to the original state without root

Find the above file, have it saved to root of sdcard, boot into bootloader, bootloader will find the file on the card and prompt to install the stock image... follow prompts and done.
Nandroid first but really is easy.

I first flashed the 2.2.1 OTA. Then I flashed the stock recovery. Afterwards, flashed the stock radio. That's what I did. All are available in the Development section.

You could have used pd15img.zip to do all of that in one flash via hboot.
It's safer to flash back to the stock radio first to avoid getting stuck in a limbo situation in which attempting to flash back to stock results in "Main version older" with radio s-on rather than do it all in one step.

This guide should solve your problem. It involves hex editing the misc.img among other things to allow you to successfully flash back to stock.

If you used the gfree method of rooting, the following guide is pretty good:

I am very experienced in rooting Samsung phones. I would like to root my mom's phone, which, right now is on bone stock, without erasing any data. I need some help (I also want to keep her on stock, the only reason for this is to install RTL languages on her phone).

Thank you, but I do not want to flash an Eng bootloader, can I just temp root, mod /system, and unroot, and the changes will stick?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Try the temp root apps Visionary+ and Z4Root
They may not be on the market, so I just Google them
i cant see why not..but then again ive never tried that..i think it will tho....dont take my word for it tho
Okay, and if I flash the eng hboot, can I just flash a stock RUU to get back to stock and S-On for warrenty?
EDIT: If anyone here is familiar with Odin, what is a similar program to unbrick this phone?

Wait, you bricked this phone? But how? And yeah, you could have done a "permanent root" then RUU'd back to stock/S-ON
EDIT: You can perm-root with this GUI tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976605&highlight=gui
It's how I rooted my friend's Shift (I personally rooted mine via CLI but this GUI was out by the time he got a Shift)
I didn't brick the phone. I want want information in case I do.

About the only way your going to brick this phone is if you flash a corrupt radio or something not intended for the Shift. In a worst case scenario the phone can almost always be recovered by using the the RUU or the One zip back to stock.
Thank you.

No. With temp root changes will be reverted after a reboot.

You have to have the engineering boot loader in order for any /system changes to stick (including the su binary necessary for root access)

I rooted my wife's shift before I gave it to her
Just waiting for a dev to release the rooted deox'd update that is available today
Okay so I wanna unroot my Mytouch but I saw in a thread some one bricked there phone by flashing the PD15MG while having a different radio.....I have the latest gingerbread radio and was wondering doesn't the file supposes tto flash everything back to stock? And what is the safest way to UnRoot I used the GFree method btw
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
If you have the latest radio you need to find the stock radio first. Some where in the development section someone has it in a PD15IMG zip by it's self. If you don't and you try the full it will give you a main version is older error.
And gfree won't work with the new radio.
Use this method, if you follow it to the T you will be ok

Ok, so my wife's phone has to go back to TMOBILE by Friday Sept 21st, I have Virtuous Affinity on it and I Unrooted with VISIONary not thinking that i should have flashed something stock first. I now cannot regain root for some reason using VISIONary or even flashing a PD15IMG through bootloader,,, I'm not comfortable at all with ADB, please help if there is another way. Anyone?

Is your phone still s-off?
Sent from my Toasted Marshmallow using Tapatalk 2
Visionary only roots the ROM. If you're still S-Off you have the ability to write to the partitions through adb or recovery.
Tell us what happens when you try to flash PD15IMG.zip

Still s-off... Flashing the P15IMG shows the progress bar on the right, then either reboots in its own or I reboot it... Still goes back to custom Rom.

I downloaded multiple versions including the 2.2.1, 2.3.4, and 2.34 (new) version... all those did similiar things, still not getting me back to stock. Does it make a difference that I have a custom rom with 2.3.5 on it?
Any other thoughts?

Why would it make a difference? Also, if it did, I would have asked you about it.
The only reason a good download will not install, usually, is if either you're on an unlocked bootloader from htc-dev, or something is wrong with either your bootloader or phone.
