Can't Flash new radio - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been trying to flash a new radio because my data connection has been crappy lately but I can't in anyway. When I use adb, hboot wont recognize the PD15IMG.zip and won't update it. When I use fastboot, it will say "sending radio... " but freezes my phone and doesn't send it. Anybody have any suggestions please?

When you said it will not recognize what error are you getting?
with the PD15IMG all you do is download it to the ROOT of the SD card, then boot into the Engineering Screen and it should do everything automatically.

There is no error. It just says stuff like "no image .zip found" or whatever, but it always does that. Hboot just doesn't ask if I want to update the radio or not.

Nvm. I solved it by just manually moving the .zip to root of sdcard. It seems that I was doing something wrong in adb. Thanks

Quick Question.

I recently bought a MyTouchHD.
Went through the entire s=off process which i did correctly.
But when i boot into Bootloader (HBoot) screen i get a message of "no image or wrong image".
I did flash Clockwork, and i can reboot into Recovery or HBoot. but that "no image or wrong image" kinda has me worried, but everything else works perfectly. ... anyone know anything about it?
I tried using DDMS to screen shot it but it wont work for one reason or another.
where is the error popping up at?
Is it trying to load a.img file in Hboot? Maybe try deleting it?

The error is at the very beginning of the HBoot start up process. It scrolls through several options then says the error message. I'll have to video and upload it via you tube so you can see.
after you did the s-off were you trying to flash a zimage to do overclocking by chance? if so, you might have removed the stock image for the OS to boot correctly. the stock image needs to match the stock bcm4329.ko file and vise versa for OCing. its just a thought. hope this helps.
Please post questions in Q&A section.

No i didn't flash any files. I was just trying to PermaRoot the phone, to be honest about it.

hmm thats kinda weird you might have had a corrupted file during the root process then. thats the only explanation i can think of. on the hboot screen you do show s-off on the top correct? if so than technically everything should be fine. if you can fully boot the phone up, download terminal from the market, install it, the there should be a $ sign, then type su then press enter, a message should pop up asking permission, accept it, it should change to a # sign, if it does then you have root access. just to be sure reboot the phone and do it again to make sure that root sticks.

Yea. i have full root access. and S=off.
Okay well then i guess i need not to worry about it.... If you guys are thinking everything is okay.
Your phone is searching the sd card for an update image, it is nothing to worry about.

very possible since the first thing i did was rip out their class 2 card and kept my class 6 card. I guess i'll boot into Linux and look for a file to transfer over.

This is correct. You don't need to worry about finding a file to put on there or anything. Hboot does this everytime you boot into it regardless of you. It is automatically looking for an update or diagnostic file to load and/or flash that isn't needed for the phone to function properly. Its an error but not one that you need to worry about unless you go to manually update through hboot, place a file for the update named PD15IMG.zip on your sd card, and it still gives you the error.

[Q] Bricked MyTouch 1.2... Very Scared...

I have a bricked mytouch 1.2 with RADIO:2.22.23.02

nder SAPPIMG.zip while trying to flash in hboot...any help...a little tight in money cant afford another phone at the moment..thanks..
Make sure that the sappimg isn't sappimg.zip.zip. &o to Control Panel-Folder Options-Uncheck the box that says "Hide known file extensions". If that's good, then format the card and copy the file back over. Make sure you backup your pictures and stuff since the format will erase the card.

If you can access the bootloader then you're not bricked.
Imagine powering on your phone and you can't access the bootloader, recovery and your phone won't even boot at all. That's a real brick.
i had this problem last night trying to install gingerbread from yoshi i`ve flashed phone`s radio and hboot , to those versions that was recommended but after I started rom first time my phone started to restart itself , just like a bootloop , but my luck was that i had goldcard with a saphire.zip on it and it worked perfectly for me.I`ve notice that this SPL is locked and that`s why you can`t access recovery.hope this helps.cheers
use the guide in my sig it will help you

no it did not fix i have been getting by on my old razor i havnt messed with my mytouch in a couple weeks now...never did fix that thing
Try formatting your SD card and then running the sappimg again. Make sure you backup anything you want to keep from your SD card. Format to FAT32 default block size if you do it in Windows.

Im sorry ...I know am extremely inconsistent with my posts ..im sorry... but heres an update...ive got the SAPPIMG on the sd card...it finds it and installs it and everything then when i reboot...BOOM!...Bootloops!
Well...I Guess this problem is completely Unfixable-.-...
I think you need to boot into bootloader AFTER you do the SAPPIMG thing, then install a RUU, and from then you can fix it. No?
Im having the same issue.I got another sappimg.zip other than the one from theunlockr but when I try and flash it, it hangs up on unzipping the system. My computer recognizes the phone but adb will not. Im lost....
RUU?????????????
I was sooo happy when I finally got SAPPIMG.zip to be read by the phone...then I still cant access Recovery...i do not have a gold card ....and i do not know what a RUU is....
I finally got mine up and running with cm. You need to flash Amon RA's recovery...then you will be able to get into recovery. Check out cyanogenmod's wiki. They have a good write up and the links are good.

On the unrevoked site under the EVO guide they link you to the download. There are plenty of guides on this forum so I am not going to do the work for you. This is why you should do the research before attempting to brick your 500 dollar phone.

If you can't get into the bootloader, you can't get into recovery which is where you need to flash the s-on tool. Try running the RUU in exe form from your computer. If it works, you will need to reflash recovery, flash the s-on tool, then run the RUU again.

Put these files in the root of your SD card.
Amon RA and S-on tool
When you get into Hboot it should find this PC36IMG.zip and ask to run it. Run it. This will install Amon RA recovery onto your phone.
Then turn the phone off and reboot holding vol-down and power. Select recovery.
In recovery select "flash zip from sd" then select unrevoked-forever-son.zip
At this point find someway to get Pc access to your sd card again. You can do this from Amon RA by selecting USB mount (i forget the exact wording, sorry).
Delete the PC36IMG.zip and put this one on there instead. Go back to Hboot and let the PC36IMG run.
You should now be running stock again. Unrooted.
This thread might be of some help as well.

That's the correct one. Just try running it again, and again, and again if you have to. If it still won't work, you can try another one, but try the newest one first. You can also try taking it to Sprint and just play dumb. They may replace it for you.

Also make sure you have the correct drivers. Install HTC Sync then uninstall it, then try again. After some research, it seems the screen you're seeing is from a bad RUU flash, so completing the RUU should solve your problems.

This is really sad, nothing worked for me. All above suggestions have been tried but nothing working.
I am not sure is it MS Windows issue, if yes, is there any Linux or MAC tool to allow me log in to my ROM and reset or copy from original one?

Furthermore more than ten times HTC Sync driver removed and re-installed.. nothing working properly..
I'm just wondering best way to re partitioning original ROM?
thanks for any help
Minor suggestion: try running the RUU as administrator by right clicking > Run As Addministrator.
Had the same problem. When you start to run the ruu are the ruu and your phone the same file. For example right before you start to run the ruu, what does that screen show
Jab2k, you might have a bad copy of the ruu. It locks you in ruu mode like that when you have an incomplete flash but once you get a good one it will be back to normal.
If redownloading the 3.70 ruu doesnt fix it you will need to flash it manually using fastboot to see where it is going wrong

[Q] Flashing radio from HBoot

I have flashed the newest radio (26.09.04.26_M) via hboot, but I want to revert to the previous one because I was getting better download speeds. Unfortunately, every time I try to update it, it says "invalid image" or "no image." I have checked the md5 sum of the file, it is correct, I still have s=off, but I have tried multiple times to no avail. I don't have access to ADB, because I am at work. I am running Royal Fusion 1.06. Someone help me out here, please!

All you need to do is download the correct PD15IMG.zip from the radio thread and store it on the root of your SDcard. Make sure you've deleted the other one off your SDcard or it might be picking up both of them and throwing the error.
I have done that. In fact, this was a clean card that i used to install. In Astro, the file shows as PD15IMG. Under details, it shows as a .zip file. I don't have to rename it PD15IMG.zip.zip do I?

Can't open /cache/recovery/log errors. need help!!

Need tons of help! I've been searching the forums for almost 24 hours now trying everything and still can't get it fixed. I rooted and got s-off on my wife's MyTouch 4g. I installed ROM Manager and flashed the latest CWMR 5.0.2.0. I did a full Nandroid backup. Then I tried flashing a Gingerbread ROM over the Froyo rom. It went to white MyTouch screen and never left it. I finally gave up and went back to recovery. When I try to restore using Nandroid, I get this:
Error while formatting /system!
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recover/last_log
I can get into HBOOT, Fastboot and Recovery just fine.
I tried the RUU exe floating around and it always fails trying to reboot bootloader.
I tried letting it autoupdate the stock PD15IMG.zip floating around it always fails.
I've tried flashing different recoveries including older CWMRs and always get error about remote not enabled.
I'm at my wit's end. I'm leaving town tomorrow and need to at least get back to the nandroid backup before I leave. Any advice?

That's the problem. I wasn't able to successfully flash a ROM so it's useless.
