Okay so I just got the phone today and though I knew how to root it and whatnot. So, I followed this guide: http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-root-the-mytouch-3g-or-g1-in-one-click/. Everything was working fine until I tried to install this theme (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493434) as update.zip.
Now I am stuck at the green "MyTouch" boot logo and cannot start my phone. I would like to get this fixed asap but I don't know how. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome. Thanks guys.
to me it sounds like bad flash/download
the only thing i'd suggest is wipe, then reflash the rom
then redownload the theme
then reflash it(no wipe)
and it should work
oh and sometimes themes first load up take time give it 15 minutes tops
if it doesn't work
then do as i said
I tried factory wipe like 10 times and I'm still stuck at the boot logo. I don't really care if I have root anymore, so what can I do to just get my phone back to normal? Meaning, how can I just get my phone to start up? What file would I need to flash to get it back to normal? (Can you try and be specific as I am still learning)
Also, I can't add anything to the SD card cause my phone won't fully start up, so I guess I'll have to buy a SD reader tomorrow?
Hmmm what if I flashed the nibh file using fastboot (the file meant for unrooting the phone). Anyone think that'd work?
Someone please help...I'm totally freaking out and it's so discouraging just having bought this phone and now I can't use it

you need a fresh install of cyan 4.0.4 then try to flash the theme\
wipe,, flash cm-4.0.4 let is bootup then flash the theme ... Don't do what some idots do ,, flash then wipe ,, its wipe then flash,,you must let it boot after the fresh install ......
To answer your ? Bout unrooting, yes the dreaimg.nbh meant for downgrading so you can root is also the same file to unroot, just flash it in fastboot or the bootloader and it will take you back to stock.
If you are running cm recovery 1.4, you can mount your sd card in the recovery console
By typing ums_enable to mount and ums_disable to unmount than type reboot or recovery to exit the console

Hmm I'm gonna try this method in a minute, but, one question, how can I type ums_enable/disable on the mytouch while on recovery?
Okay so I fixed it. I simply bought an SD card reader, placed the sappimg.nbh file on my sd card. Booted with Volume Down + Power and then flashed the sappimg.nbh and now my phone has finally started up thanks!

are you wearing marijuana goggles? he is on a mytouch lol. maybe if he draws the letters onscreen it will work, or maybe he can plug a keyboard into the mini usb on the mytouch if he has a usb to mini usb adapter.
i was wearing hangover glasses, just made the assumption that it was a g1 since we are in the dream forum and not the mytouch one, oh by the way hershey was fun, i rode all the big kids ride and i did not cry once
aren't yous all so proud of me
At first I was thinking he flashed the sappimg.nbh to a Dream, lol @ Marijuana goggles.

I tried to restore pd15img and

This has happened to quite a few people lately and I don't think they have been able to come back from it. Out of curiosity though, what caused this? Were you flashing something and this happened? Do you have the engineering bootloader? Attached is a thread of someone with the same problem, and like I said, there are a couple more out there.

I change roms many times, and recovery many times, this time i had been using 3.006 modified with battery charge.
didnt have a problem until i put the royalglacior 1.5 version.
than i could use the wifi, it gave me an error, i rebooted few times, and always error, and finally gave up.
I had the same fastboot errors when trying to flash from 3.0.0.5 to 2.5.1.2 after i mistakenly flashed 2.5.1.2 when i had cm7. You may need to update your sdk. I had to install my HTCdrivers on a new box and Download the tools folder from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928370 to get it working.

First, there is only RoyalGlacier v 1.2 as of the latest for now. Since you used that CWM 3.0.0.6 while battery charge off, there is a chance it might have reverted back to CWM 3.0.0.5 and RoyalGlacier requires 3.0.0.6 and stock restore requires 2.5.1.4 but your recovery may be 3.0.0.5. Try flashing a ROM that just requires 3.0.0.5. For future reference, use this version of CWM 3.0.0.6 from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944681). That sticks and never reverts back to .5.
Thanks for replies, n advices.
I have tried every which way possible to put the recoveries, and all failed.
I have had 3.0.0.6 modified for a while. was not going back and forth with 2.5.1.4
anyone else come out of this mess,
if not is there a way to get it to even at s - on and unroot?
I dont think so, but worth to ask
thanks
I'm having the same issue where it gets stuck at the Tmobile spash screen and when i boot into clockwork, it gives me the cache error. Formatting it through clockwork doesnt work, and when i try to restore it it also give me an error. I tried to format through adb but that hasn't worked either, unless I'm typing in the command wrong
I dnt believe there is a way to fix that issue,i had that issue awhile back on my 1st mytouch 4g,i had cm7 & made the mistake of tryin to nandroid restore a backup which I forgot was stocked froyo & everythin flashed ok but got stuck in bootloop,so battery pulled went to recovery & had all those errors u mentioned & never found a fix.....called tmobile,got a replacement no problems 2 mnth later & warranty still there..... Now I have clockwork 3.0.0.6 & havent ran into that issue yet,goodluck let us knw if u find a fix....

Im not really to sure,a friend of mine had the same issue & went thru HTC & got a replacement so want im guessin is they dnt care but dnt hold it against me,it could of been 1 of those lucky times. All he said was that the phone wnt boot & they just sd it was a known issue & sent him another one...
well I think I've successfully bricked my mt4g. It was working fine until I installed the latest clockwork version and RoyalGinger, tried to restore some applications + data with mybackup root but it froze. Then it was stuck on a bootloop, went back into clockwork and started getting the "can't mount cache" errors. Now it's stuck on the T-Mobile splash screen if I try to do a normal boot, bootloader works and it also goes into clockwork, but it's not able to do any factory resets/wipe. Tried the factory image file and it fails on the first 5 or 6 items, skips another item and hangs at flashing the radio. Now it needs to be replaced and T-Mo is out of stock of the red mt4g's, so I have to wait until they have stock of red ones, then it's going to suck if I get one with a bad screen. I got offered a black one, but I just like my red one too much.
did you include the part file when flashing the PD15IMG.zip?
"there needs to be part7backup-1294463706.bin file on your sd card with the PD15IMG.zip file...both on the root of sd card."
I'm thinking that the file comes stock on the sdcard, but when we format our sdcard it wipes it. I know I personally ran the PD15IMG.zip file twice on my phone and both times it worked great, but both times I did it before I wiped my sdcard (and I do remember a ridiculous amount of extra stuff on the sdcard when it came with the phone).

That part7-xxxxx.bin file is created when u root with the gfree method,it doesnt come stock on the sd card... what method did u use to root...dnt use unlockr.com methods,its old & doesnt give true oerm root...
I made an assumption, i just used the basic root.sh script so I didn't read into the gfree method (see no need). I just know that people who have had trouble reverting to stock with the PD15IMG.zip fixed the issue by putting that part7backup file on the root of their sdcard.

gfree method would of gave u S off & that backup file,really I dnt think theres a fix for that just yet,without that file..... For future reference never restore data fron any backup app(ex.titanium,astro erc) u can only restore apps cause then u restorin data from a different rom & tryin to put it on a current rom that probably isnt the same...

no idea where this is coming from. I was just offering a suggestion to the op. As you can clearly see I am not the op. I do not have issues. I simply made an assumption about the gfree method, which was cleared up, though I still think it's a very real possibility that the op didn't put the part7 file on the root of his sdcard when he flashed the pd15img.zip. Either way, I thank you for your advice, but I'm not the one seeking it here.

Did u check the mdsum on the file to make sure u had a full zip file??? What recovery did u use 3.0.2.4 or 3.0.0.6??Sorry need to ask questions in order to help lol.... Ive heard of people fixin their phones with the part7backup-xxxxx.bin file & the pd15 file....just stick those to the root of the sd card go into recovery & let the phone to its thimg..

Royalginger requires recovery 3.0.0.6 or 3.0.2.4....3.0.0.5 was mainly for cm7 but clockwork updated to flash froyo & gingerbread now... I believe u can dwnload a cm7 rom to the sd card frm the pc then try to flash that if that dnt wrk then if u rooted by using gfree method & have the 0.85.2007 bootloader it should of created a part7xxxx.bin file & that will help unrootin the phne & startin frm scratch again...
Theres a couple threads on here that could help u out,ur not fully bricked tho... I had this issue about 3 months ago when there barely was a fix now at least u have a chance..
i have the 0.86.0000 bootloader, will that be a problem? if not if i google how to unroot i should be able to find it easily?
i also downloaded cm7 tried to install, and the same rom and issues still pop up, so i guess my only choice is to unroot, but how do i unroot without using terminal?

If you rooted with gfree, go back to the thread that guided you. It has instructions on how to unroot. Basically you want to place part7backupxxxxxx.zip on the root of your SD, download PD15IMG.zip, place on root of SD, then load bootloader and let it do it's thing, responding when prompted. If you can't mount the card you're going to have to find a way to mount it outside of the phone, either with an adapter or a card reader.

You need the engineering bootloader to use adb, both will run the PD15IMG.zip.

The reason we talk about is pretty simple. .85 allows you to use ADB commands and flash stuff via the HBoot engine. Where .86 does not allow you to. So if you get in "semi-brick" mode you can 9/10 times get your self up and rocking.
had it happen earlier today as a matter of fact.

They were both what most people would call bricked, but since they had the .85 engineering screen we could get them up and running.

Please provide more details, what rom you were running before you had problems, were you trying to do anything that may caused the bootloop. The more details you provide the easier it is for people to help you.

The only thing that I can think of is to flash the Gingerbread Tmobile G2 rom posted by Football.
Remember after you flash it you will not be able to root again or get S-Off, at least for now, but you will have a fully working Gingerbread Tmobile G2.
So use this as a last resort, to use it download the rom, make sure its named PC10IMG.zip and place it on the root of your sd card, if you cant mount your sd card in the phone remove it and use a card reader on your computer to place the PC10IMG on the root of your sd card, once this is done place it back into your phone, then hold volume down + power button, it will boot into bootloader and detect the PC10IMG and ask if you want to update, use the volume button to select yes, then let it do its thing and reboot, you should now have a fully working Gingerbread TMobile G2.

made a thread about this also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102350
but my issue was different,i wasn't unrooting the device,i was trying to flash a new rom. check the last post in that thread please. i flashed the mexdroid mexperia rom and put the pc10img zip file back on the sd card after the whole wiping data/cache and backing up my old rom...yet it only turns on to be stuck at the htc screen and wont start. i have the marvel bootanimation on there,and that doesn't even pop up. any help would be great.
should i do the same as you reccomended already or can i go by it a different way?
Ok.. so.
I had a not-working clockwork mod, and like an idiot I used the rom manager via android to flash a new rom. So - that rom is stuck in its boot up logo over and over (team kang). And isn't moving despite waiting 10 minutes, and my clockwork mod is non functional. I can see the options in CMW but if I click one of them - I dont get the options to chose a zip/it does reboot. It simply gives me the hat with the refresh logo and no options. So CWM is not functional.
Fastboot boots, but recovery sends me to non functional CWM.
S = off, and the phone is/was rooted.
Any advise?
I hope someone is awake... lol
Try to use adb/fastboot to flash 4ext recovery. Or a new cwm recovery. You really need a functioning recovery.
Sent from my HTC GLACIER using xda premium
Just sayin.. 4ext is a better recovery. However, if you prefer cwm, that is up to you. But if you can use adb to flash recovery, please do it, then from hboot go into recovery and flash a known working Rom...
Sent from my HTC GLACIER using xda premium
So your saying volume down while power on, boot up adb on the computer/fastboot on the phone and I can somehow push a 4ext to the phone? I'll give it a try but I'm lost at the moment.
Closest I came up with was downloading the stock rom/putting it on SD card and loading it up that way.
I'll go back to DEV and check into how to flash it, but I was under the impression you had to have a working rom.
...are you making selections in recovery using the trackpad?
There is no trackpad? Volume up and down.
I just flashed 2 versions of CWM and finally got options with the touch version - then of course I lost MY sd card somewhere? Which is such a joy because I'll never find it. So I am now going to load up a rom on the SD card then install it.
Ok, got the rom installed, for my personal SD card - the other phone is booting up now, if it doesn't work atleast I can mount the SD card through CMW and such. TY original poster, I didn't actually realize you could flash files directly from the computer to the phone.
This all started when I rooted this phone because it was having battery issues/wasn't running right, then it needed to update but wouldn't because CWM was installed - so I tried to put a different rom on it but that didn't work.
YES!!!! It has booted into android just now. Score.

I actually didn't know there was a like button as this was one of my first posts really. But if you want an update, I flashed it through ADB and got a working bootloader then loaded ICS which completely didn't work.
This phone is for my mom's so I reflashed it to that Virtuous Unity rom/shes now complaining of some battery drain. I didn't install setcpu because they have something else running I saw? But maybe it needs to be setup? Either way I'll just install setcpu next time I see her.
Oh, as for the trackpad... *cough*. I've held the phones many times (hundreds), but never actually realized there was a trackpad on it. My mom used it in front of me shortly after I fixed her phone..
