Hey guys,
I'm an android developer and I'm having a little trouble getting going with this MyTouch I just received from eBay. SOOOoooo...
Issue #1: I don't have a T-SIM Card
Issue #2: I don't have an Unlock Code
I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, T-Mobile MyTouch 3G
I took this badboy out of the box, formatted the SD card and wiped. My thinking is that I'll just put CM6 on it and go about my business. So I started following the instructions on the wiki and have flashed COC10 SAPPIMG.nhb.
Worked fine.
Now, I'm trying to get Clockwork Recovery on there and am running into problems. I can't tell if it's a problem with my machine, this phone, my general setup, my Android Development Enviorment or what, but I cannot get fastboot to work.
I hold down back/pwr to boot the phone into fastboot mode, then plug it in. When I connect it to my computer, it says "USB Device Not Recognized - One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it." then "Driver Software Installation was not successfully installed." It does not show up in USBDeview at all.
I've tried to update the driver, us the Google Driver, etc, but nothing seems to help.
Has anyone else had this happen or can give me some info on how to fix it?
Thanks!

you cant use fast boot if s is on
s-on
so you'll have to get the recovery threw ROM manager which can be download from the market
lol dont forget to thank me
problem solved
Thanks for the reply!
Is there any other way to do it without going through the market? I don't have a SIM card, so I can't really get past that first screen to even get to the market!
Thanks!

Inaccurate. S-ON simply means that its not a full access SPL so certain commands are locked out but not all.
To the OP, do you have another Android powered device that you can make a goldcard with? Cause your going to need one. As for the driver, are you sure your plugging the phone into the computer after entering fastboot and not during the bootup? If yes, try installing HTC Sync and then plug the phone in (only when prompted) with it in fastboot mode. Lets start there.

I have a Motorola Droid running a different OS, but I have a feeling that's not going to help very much! I haven't gone down this goldcard route yet.

Just gave this a shot. No joy. I get the same "device is not functioning properly" notifications as before. After dismissing everything, HTC Sync does not recognize the device.
As an aside, if I go get a prepaid card from T-Mobile, would that be enough to give me access to the Market?
Thanks for your help!
Once you get the prepaid SIM I think your given the option to purchase a one-day data pass for $2 at the activation screen. Then you could use ROM Manager. Have you tried plugging the phone in with it booted up to the activation screen?

Yeah I think they've got this baby locked down pretty tight.
I give, I'm going the pre-pay/day pass route.
Thanks for everyone's help and input!

Hey XDA
Im having a little problem with my Magic.
I would like to flash a new ROM, but i cant get into the recovery menu.
Here is what i do:
I have installed the latest version of SDK on my computer.
I then connect my Magic with the cable, and when Vista comes up with the note saying that want to install the software i tell it to use the drivers that are in the SDK/usb_driver/x86 folder.
I then turn off the phone, and press and hold back button + power button until the phone shows the "3 androids on skateboard" menu.
Then on my computer in the cmd prompt i write: fastboot boot recovery.img, and the the cmd prompt says: <waiting for device> and the nothing else happens, the recovery image dosn't show up on the phone either.
I have checked with adb devices that my phone is connected.
Are there anyone that can help me with this problem because its beginning to annoy me alot, i would like to root my phone and flash another ROM.
So any help would be much appreciated.
Per
Just to check, you made sure you have a spl that's rootable?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019
And fallowed this before fastboot.
First, setting up your PC (I'm going to assume you're using windows for this) to work with Android in a debugging enviroment.
1. Get the latest Android SDK from here (http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r2/index.html) and unzip it into a convienent directory (most people use C:\Android\, so I suggest you do the same). The result should be something along the lines of C:\Android\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\.
2. Set up your phone to work with debugging drivers. The method of doing so can be found here (http://developer.android.com/guide/...ing/device.html) in the "Setting up a Device for Development" section, steps 2 and 3. To test that it works properly, open up a command prompt and navigate to the tools directory (C:\Android\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\tools). Type into the prompt:
Code:
adb devices
If it returns your device and serial number, then you're all set.
3. Lastly, grab fastboot.exe from here (http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/adp.html) and place it in the tools directory of the sdk.
Next up, rooting.

Thx for the answer, but there is a problem with one of the links you posted, the last one of them (http://developer.android.com/guide/...ing/device.html). it dosn't work.
But you also write something about the SPL, i dont know if i have the right SPL, how can I see if its the right one i have? I've tried reading the link about the SPL, but my problem is that i cant even get into the recovery menu, so i cant flash a new SPL either, or am i wrong?
Please help me
Per
To check your SPL just boot up fastboot (back + power) then just look at the top and see what it says. Then check on the first link I posted and see if your SPL is rootable or not.
Don't know why the last link didn't post proper Here it is.

Damn, thats a load of ..... (sorry).
I have just got my phone back from the repair shop because the camera restarted the phone everytime i tried to use it. Before i sent it to repair i had no problem rooting it or getting in the recovery menu.
But can you tell what the problem is? is it because the recovery image dosn't work with my SPl and the recovery image guys need to "crack" my SPL first or what?

Ok my problem is i stupidly deleted my girls default home launcher when i was gonna use the adwlauncher but the phone rebooted, now it wont load android at all. I've tried the sappimg.nbh and the sappimg.zip but neither will update correctly since my security is on. I cant flash a new rom either since i have no recovery either. Is there anyway i can change my spl to an engineer to get more hboot options unlocked or should i just report my phone stolen and pay the deductible for th new recovery phone, please help you guys i have tried and read tons of threads and have failed miserably lol
You need to reset the device from fastboot...
Look at the menu and you will find it.
You can also just flash your official RUU...
To turn on RUU mode type this:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Then just start your ruu update.
Don't start doing all kind of stupid ****... try the above before you make your self a goldcard!
Alright man thanks for the help i'll report back when im done.
I reset the device then it just loads the rom im currently on ( htcclay's TCBY 1.3dsf 2.2 froyo) reboots then hangs on the splash screen. How do i flash or type in that code about the ruu?
Edit**
The phone can only accept calls coming in, but theres still no way of using the launcher it's completely blank cuz of my accident. Im guessing the reset doesnt reinstall the needed drivers or apks to factory setings.
To Get into fastboot power the phone off and the press back + power and hold them down until the fastboot screen comes on. Then try the fasboot commands from the post above in a Windows command prompt. Hope it work for you. If it does please report back, because I am desperately trying to unroot my phone and go back to stock so I can sell it when I upgrade. Thanks.

If you got adb connection, then install the launcher using this command:
Code:
adb install -r xxxxxxx.apk
(where xxxxxxxxx.apk should be replaced by the name of the laucnher apk)
ADB confuses the hell outta me lol. ADB = SDK correct? I've tried using it and following direction to push/install from my main drive c/ but can never get it to work right. Guess im just screwed and will have to pay the deductible, i do appreciate the help tho you guys.
I followed the unlockers guide and made a goldcard and with that was able to get back to recovery woohoo, thanks fo rall the help, i just had to really really focus and actually try our adb lol. Mods can lock this now please.
I went though some of the forums and didn't quite find what I was looking for, BUT a friend on Reddit pointed me over to this forum for help. I loaded Engineerings SPL on to my phone and when I booted up the phone I got a totally new boot screen saying "HTC Magic" After about 20 minutes I realized my phone isn't going to boot at all, I thought no big deal and tried to unroot my phone with the unlocker website and the sapping.nbh file failed during installation. (The last two items had an odd error) BUT when I rebooted my phone it now had the green mytouch 3g loading screen but again failed to boot. And thats it, this is where I am stuck.
I Have a My Touch 3g 3.5MM jack phone and I was simply trying to load a custom rom onto my phone, I can access fastboot and the android recovery console (Thing for wipe and update.zip from sdcard) But everything I have tried fails! I am really starting to stress out about this but a I was told it doesn't seem to be very serious if I can access all the menus like that. If you need anymore info I will be checking the thread regularly. Sorry for causing the trouble I am probably just another pest who made a dumb novice error , for that I am sorry. But if anyone could help me out it would be much appreciated.
EDIT!: Also I forgot to add I have GoldCard from before my phone broke, not sure if this will still work but it might help.
Post there all fastboot info, ALL.
Also the outcome of this command done in fastboot mode
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
When you refer to "the android recovery console (Thing for wipe and update.zip from sdcard)" do you mean android stock recovery or custom recovery?
Im trying to get the data from that fast boot thing but Im kinda new to all this in order to get that data I hook my phone up to pc with usb cord start up cmd prompt and type
cd\
AndroidSDK\tools\adb
then type in that command? Kinda lost on what im doin there.
And how do I find out if it is stock or custom? it has the symbol for the FlashRec app in the backround though if that helps.
But the stuff on the top of the fast boot is.

Make sure you have the HTC drivers installed on the computer, sounds like you don't
Okay...so I if the drivers are installed, it'll pick the phone up in recovery mode? Got ya. Thanks.

You have to do it from fastboot, adb is disabled in the stock recovery. From the bootloader just select fastboot and look for it to say fastboot usb.

From looking at the info you posted, you seem to have an Evo from the first batch that was released. You said the history of the phone is unknown to you......does this mean that it is possible that it was broken when you got it? If the phone accepts the RUU and still doesn't boot, it could be a hardware problem that is causing it to not function properly.

Which RUU's have you tried using? I'm assuming that since you've been at it for a week now, you've most likely tried them all. However, if you haven't, here's a link of pretty much every evo RUU and PC36IMG that there is. I suggest trying one that matches your specs as closesly as possible (.97 hboot, and the 3.29 software). If that still fails on you, and you feel you've exhausted all other methods, then the beauty of this situation is that you're bootloader is S-on, and the phone is within the 1year warranty still. So if you take it to Sprint, there is a good chance you'll get a replacement.

- I've the stock 2.2.1 PD15IMG.zip but it flashed a message that the rom is old
- Put the 2.3.4 PD15IMG.zip and it gets all the way to confirmation if I want to flash it. I press the up arrow and on step 1) bootloader it just says "-updating"
I've installed the sdk and usb drivers (the drivers are installed and my pc sees the android device in hboot and it redetects if I go to fastboot) but when I run adb devices no devices are listed. I've tried multiple drivers, editing the .inf file etc. without luck.
I've tried the downgrades but nothing works. I don't get the PU fail so I'm not sure if I have the bad emmc. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
Did you do the part in the guide where you downgrade your current software number so the phone thinks its flashing a new version?
