Hello,
I'm not an expert at modding and hacking but I can definately follow directions. I used a G1 for about a year and flashed it plenty of times with different roms, radios, and spls. I ended up getting a MyTouch 1.2 and proceeded to try to root it so that I can enjoy CM's great roms.
Followed the directions on the unlockr
Made the gold card and went to flash the sappimg.img from the site. The flash went through fine but the phone just got stuck at the HTC Magic screen. Now I know what my mistake was there. I didn't think it was a big deal and continued with the steps. Mainly because I didn't see any infomation on what to do if it doesn't go through. Flashed the radio, then went to the hboot. Received image update failed error message. Long story short, I experienced what having a brick feels like.
The reason I am explaining all of this is for people to learn from my mistakes and to get some clarification on what I am writing next.
I got the phone exchanged (only had it for a day) and began researching more to find out what I did wrong. I found this crypysmoker's thread.
And then I found the message:
READ READ READ. DO NOT download the SAPPimg.zip file it says on that page.
Get the top fixed SPL file 2010 from here

Click to collapse
In my research, I discovered that the mytouch 1.2 has several spl's that have been hacked and not. I figured out that the file on theunlockr wasn't the fixed spl and that is mainly the reason for my brick and the frozen HTC Magic screen.
I want to enjoy the gifts that CM has to offer. Being stuck on normal 1.6 is well saddening to say the least. But I am worried about flashing the wrong spl and have the situation repeat again as I would figure I would be screwed this time around and wouldn't be able to get it replaced.
Can anyone provide more information about this? Can I flash the Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010 and not run into the same problem? I understand that there isn't a 100% certainty of working. Most of my searches show that more people have bricked this phone than any other.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the length.

Well, I did it all again. Redownloaded all the files. Setup a new goldcard. This time I let it sit for over 45 mins. Never got past the HTC Magic Screen. Adb doesn't see it nor does the light come on to say that it is charging. Which would show me that it has indeed locked up.
Anyways it shut off on its own since it wasn't getting usb power and I guess the battery died. I'm still able to reboot back to hboot. I attempted to reflash the sappimg.zip file. Right now its going on 10 mins sitting on the

What I will add tho is that my info changed.

I tried reformatting the SD and recreated the Gold Card as I noticed some of the Hex changed but still getting the same issue.
the phone won't run anything other than spl 1.33.0013 and radio 2.22.23....w/e x)
Get the sappimg you had before and flash it in hboot mode which should give you spl 1.33.0013. In fastboot mode, flash your spl to 1.33.2010again, then flash radio 2.22.23 or w/e, then flash amon ra recovery, then flash stock spl (1.33.0013).
All the files you need are here: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/
The reason it wont boot up is because you have engineering spl and the wrong radio on. Again, it will only boot up with the stock radio and spl~!!!

I don't know where I would find the original stock sappimg. The one that is on the website is the sappimg that needs to go on when you are stock at the beginning.
Also my HBoot doesn't seem to be unzipping cause that is where it gets stuck. Is there a way to do it all from fastboot? Since I am currently stuck in the 2010 spl, can I flash the stock spl through fastboot without the radio?
I just don't get why I am having this problem. I followed that website to the letter. And I know that at this point if I attempt to flash the radio back to stock, I will completely brick it.
Since you dont want to flash the radio, flash the amon ra recovery FIRST. Then flash the stock spl. If it doesn't boot up, then you'll need to get the engineering spl back on again and flash stock radio (the one in the link).

I couldn't flash the recovery in fastboot.
Tried Fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
Got an error message Recovery not found.
Wasn't sure if I wanted to try flashing the recovery before finding out if it can brick it. Like the original post says, my first MT1.2 I flash the spl from unlockr screen locked up but could get into fastboot so flashed the radio and then tried the spl like the directions say and I completely bricked it.
I don't want to make the same mistake twice.
Unfortunately, there's a chance of bricking every time you flash anything.
Anyways, this might be redundant but is the recovery imaged named recovery.img? Like you actually renamed it? If not, you'll have to type out the exact name.

No it wasn't named recovery.img, was just using it to save time. I did spell out the recovery's full name.
When you enter the command "fastboot devices" it shows a serial number right? And the recovery image is in your tools folder of your androidsdk folder?
Sorry for the redundant questions, we're just going back to the basics really quick right now.

yup and yup
I see the problem. Your mobo is recognized as 32a S off H. You're recovery image is probably the G version. What you could do is download the H version and flash it although i doubt your phone will still boot up at that point.
You could try flashing the H version of amon ra's recovery image and afterwards, see if it boots up. Then, if it doesnt boot up, flash stock spl (1.33.0013) and see if it boots up.
I'm pretty sure your phone will end up not booting up and you'll eventually have to flash stock radio as well and then flash the G version recovery back on.
The reason your mobo is recognized as the H version and not the G version is because of the radio.
EDIT: I just realized I made a mistake. I meant to say the mobo is recognized as the H version because of the SPL, not the radio.

Heres your problem. If recovery is not found then you didnt put it in your Androidsdk\tools folder did you? or did you rename it? Oooorr, you put it in there while adb was running and didnt restart it to see the file itself

I can tell that the radio is still the old one. It seems the spl worked and put it back to stock but still no recovery and I guess I can't fastboot anything either.
So I assume I need to flash back eng spl and see if it will boot, right?
Even as the recovery and spl are compatible, you see that it still won't boot up. What you gotta do now is flash the engineering spl and do the same as before except flash the radio as well.
In the end, your mytouch should read:

RADIO-2.22.23.02
The same as stock before EXCEPT this time, you'll have amon ra's recovery. That's when you know you're done. Just follow the guide from before and you'll be fine.

I would like to start out by saying, Thank you so much hacker01 for your help! You don't know how much I appreciate everything.
I was able to get it back working and fully running CM5.0.7
After I reloaded the eng spl, like I said, I was running into the same problems. Wouldn't boot, goes into fastboot, etc.
I grabbed the stock radio and spl NOT from the unlockr page this time but from the link on crypysmoker's thread.

Just like it said and sure enough got into recovery! Flashed a rom and it booted up.
I know this technically isn't solved cause I really don't know what went wrong in the first place. I can ensure you that I can follow directions and did. The only thing that makes any sense is the files on theunlockr's website is bad. Guess we can just chalk it up to bad luck.
But if anyone wants to root their mytouch 1.2, crypysmoker's thread is definitely the way to go.
Thank you again hacker01! I hope I can pay it forward.
You did it right, it's just that any radio that is not 2.22.23 won't work with the mt3g 1.2/Fender LE right now. And no problem! Glad you got it up and running. Enjoy your mytouch
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
Please, help!
I have the exact same problem: I was following the Unlockr's instructions, made the goldcard, flashed the sappimg without getting any errors, and now the phone is stuck on the htc magic boot screen. I am not experienced and now I am scared sh**less, because the phone belongs to my girlfriend Please, give me step-by-step instructions how to fix it, because I really dont want to improvise. The phone is MyTouch 1.2...

Its bricked. The mytouch 1.2 can only run 1.33.0013 spl and the 2..x radio. Its a hybrid hardware. 32a board with a 32b radio.

I can flash a new radio on it and a new SPL on it, it takes that when i flash it
To root the phone you need to use the ENG spl 2010 flash your custom recovery, then stock radio and spl. After that, flash ROMs thru recovery. You can not use any other radio/spl at this time.

I think i bricked it now..... it stuck on a 0009 SPL and i cannot do a sappimg it wont unzip and i cannot flash a different spl it does the signature verify fail
Does your phone have the 3.5mm jack? Are you sure you've got a 1.2?
Well, If your phone still turns on and your have a working goldcard, try the ENG 2010 SPL from the Magic SPL thread. once you are back down to 1.33.2010 SPL and 3.22.x radio, fastboot your custom recovery, flash stock mytouch 1.2 radio then spl.
At that point, you won't have any OS tho. so, go into recovery, wipe all (but NOT your SD goldcard). Then flash custom ROM+gapps (if needed)
What is your fastboot info RIGHT NOW....
Remember that if you have a MyTouch 1.2 (with 3.5mm headphone jack) you MUST have the following AFTER you flash your custom recovery.
Radio: 2.22.23.02
SPL: 1.33.0013
So use the engineering SPL (2010) and 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' with a Amon_Ra 1.7.0G or Clockwork Recovery for MyTouch devices (NOT MAGIC).
Afterwards reboot to your recovery by holding HOME while booting. If you can boot into recovery then flash your stock spl (1.33.0013) back. Then flash your rom.

I had the same issue the other day while experimenting on my mt3g 1.2. What worked for me was using adb to push the stock mt3g hboot and radio and then rerooting my phone. You can download the files you need from the unlockr.com web page and skim his how-to for android in the unrooting section. Hope this helps.
does it still boot into fastboot, hboot, or recovery?

if it boots into fastboot, hboot, or recovery you are not sunk yet. you will need the "official" sappimg.zip or .nbh on your gold card, but it should go through the steps and re-image it.. this will get your phone back to stock.
are you using a Tmobile MyTouch 1.2? or are you using a Rogers Magic?
the files will be different as the hardware requires differnent drivers.
there are many links on this site, or theunlockr.com that will get you the correct files you will need. make sure you check the md5 sums on anything you download to make sure its not corrupted before trying to flash it.
hope this helps.
I have a T-Mobile branded MT3G 1.2 that I flashed today's CM nightly onto and the screen got the green tint issue. I looked into it and read I need to flash pershoot's kernal to fix it, but i needed the new radio (I had the 2.22 and all the 32A kernels said they were for 3.22).
I tried to fastboot the 32A radio, but got an error because it was a perfected SPL (I think thats why, at least), so I tried to flash an ENG SPL for 32A, using the files for reverting back from 6.35.07 radio to 3.22 for the 32A from gadget-space.com I flashed the HBOOT.zip using RomManager, and when I rebooted, the phone did not get past the splash screen. Couldn't boot into recovery but fastboot works.
now it's showing this in the fastboot info:

No matter what HBOOT I flash, i can't get it to change back to showing 32A. Also I've tried reflashing Amon Ra's Recovery and still can't get back into there.
Any ideas on how to get this phone working again?
I did the same thing as you trying to install the official T-mobile Froyo OTA ported for the 32A. After flashing the radio and spl I could no longer get the phone to boot or go into recovery. The only thing I could do was fastboot. After trying half a dozen SAPPIMG.zip files I managed to find the correct one. All I had to do was put the SAPPIMG.zip onto the sd card, put it in my phone, fastboot to hboot and it should unzip the SAPPIMG and install on your phone. Not sure if this will work for you but it's worth a shot.
found the unrooted imgboot.zip, flashed it and re-rooted with androoter, now all is well.
Now that I have this back to a working phone, should i update the radio?
I have no idea but now that I'm back to stock 1.6 I think I'm just gonna wait for the T-Mobile official OTA Froyo for the 32A. It should be out fairly soon and it'll be better than any 2.2 rom you'll find online since it was designed specifically for the 32A and not ported over or anything.
Where did you find the unrooted img.zip i been looking all over the net?

Start at part II, step 3.
So, I've got a MT3G that is apparently bricked. My buddy tried flashing a CM6 ROM and didn't root it properly - I'm assuming anyway since it's still S-ON. It powers up, gets to the CM Andy on a skateboard and gets stuck in a loop there.
I can get into SPL but that's it. I've attempted to erase the recovery and flash a new one with no luck. I can get it recognized via ADB with [ fastboot devices ], but I'm not sure that helps me much.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I don't mind the work, just need to find a way to get it past this point. If I can somehow manage to get it rooted from here, then flash a recovery so I can a ROM, that'd be awesome. Here's everything from the SPL screen:

Hi!
You're not recognized via ADB if you type [ fastboot devices ] and it gives you your phones S/N. You can be at FASTBOOT, HBOOT or RUU. To be recognized in ADB you have to boot in to RECOVERY or in to SYSTEM.
If you have working HBOOT (can boot to HBOOT with pressing VOLUME_DOWN+POWER), I suggest you to make a goldcard, download a stock rom for your MT3G (In FASTBOOT you can type [ fastboot getvar cid ], and the first 8 digits will tell you your phones CID number.). Extract the downloaded RUU and find the rom.zip (rom.nbh) file. Rename it to SAPPIMG.zip (SAPPIMG.nbh) and put it in the root of your goldcard.
Start up your phone with pressing VOLUME_DOWN+POWER.
If you get error about "Model ID" then your MicroSD is not a goldcard and you downloaded a "wrong" RUU ("Wrong" RUU (Phones CID not correct) can be good, if it is for MT3G like you have. Only you must create a working goldcard.).
If you get error "Main Version is older" then try to find newer RUU.
I hope, I helped you...
And then make the rooting with more care
Yesterday I got a phone from a friend. Mytouch3g

i don't know what else to try or what rom to try to get this thing to boot to android. And im afraid that if i keep messing with it I will brick it completely.
Please give me some ideas or directions on what to do.
Thx.
Im on TMOBILE US
OH I also tryed the RUU's but non of the US once worked.
I would just like it back to stock.
No one has any suggestions or ideas?
I spend many hours on the website and the interwebs and followed all sorts of tips and suggestions.
Also none of the threads with the stuck on the green splash have any resolution and concrete solutions.
Are you actually flashing the recovery, or just booting it? Try fastboot flash instead of boot.
Also you have the 3.22 radio, so you have to either change it, or use an ebi1 kernel. I would recommended finding ezterrys guide to update to 2.22.28.25 radio and 1.33.0013d spl

Several issues there... your flashing an old version of ra for the 3.22 radio to the system partition. You need to do this:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
And you need the G version of amon_ra recovery.
and you need to get back to an eng spl to do that...
OK well it sounds like i'm am definitively doing this wrong.

STEP 1?

fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your device)
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img

RADIO
The new froyo OTA for the Fender/MT2.1 is RADIO-2.22.28.25 This is the same 2.22.28.25 that was pushed to the 32B phones.
If you have a rooted phone and wish to upgrade you can use the safe zip file I've provided before:
update_2.22.28.25_S.zip // mirror
md5: 2e384ab42da375458fdb135063b7536b
This will verify your system can safely install the new radio and ask you to install it.
Note: please ensure you have a backup before flashing this radio sometimes is known for some wacky things on first boot until you can get into the system and verify the clock is set correctly.
HBOOT
The new 32b HBOOT is the one you have always been using 1.33.0013
I've more recently have made a hacked version 1.33.0013d primarily for the Dream to have a larger /system size; However currently I also recommend it for 32b magic/sapphire users due to its reduced restrictions on flashing NBH files, as well as access to fastboot erase.
Since I don't think there is any nbh file safe to flash on the fender/MT1.2 the benefits of installing 1.33.0013d seem minimal on your phone.. however for advanced users, it will unlock fastboot erase. (useful for swapping roms; however most people can just use Super Wipe)
If you do wish to update to this I have a special update.zip to migrate from 1.33.0013 -> 1.33.0013d
update-1_33_0013-to-1_33_0013d_S.zip

how do i flash these?
BTW i appreciate all you help and support and if i figure it out, I will put together a detailed set of instructions for others that encounter this specific issue.
You have to get an Eng spl. Probably by flashing a sappimg with one. I'm on my phone and am too lazy to find one for you.
After that just flash recovery, radio, and hboot like ezterrys thread says.
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img (1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d hboot)
fastboot flash radio radio.img ( 2.22.27.08 or 2.22.28.25)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
I'm pretty sure those commands are right, but they are from memory and could be spelled wrong or be in the wrong order.

I did flash sappimg using a gold card. Then i got the Vodaphone splash screen.
Then i flashed the myTouch 3g splash screen .
This is the tutorial that i followed.

How does one tell if they have the ENG SPL?
Do i have to do it again or can i just flash the hboot and radio and recovery?
