Hello all,
I just got my first Droid phone today, to find out that it had no app store, and no google stuff on it whatsoever (besides droid that is), so i went about looking as to why, turns out my version has no google stuff on it because it is homosexual, so i followed the forum folks advice and went about trying to flash a new rom so i can have all that google stuff.
So far, i have an RA-Hero-v1.6.2 system recovery flashed on whenever that or the "3 droids on a skateboard" screen, the phone will just spam reboot, turn off, turn on, turn off, saying "HTC Magic".
When i try to get a "sappimg.zip" or "sappimg.nbh" to install via the SDcard (i cannot put the files on the SDcard as i dont have a mini to normal SD card thingy, so i adb "push" them onto the card) the "3 droids on a skateboard" thingy says "wrong or no image" on all the fields it checks for, and then goes to the default menu.
i have tried to go to the RA recovery and flash the zip file from sdcard but it throws a nasty error saying
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory) E: Can't mount SDCARD:"
^ so i partition the sdcard, which takes 1 second with 32mb swap, 512 ext and rest FAT, and then i repush all the files, and try again, to no avail.
To test if the files are there, i push then, then adb shell in and cd to the /sdcard/ directory and ls -a, and they are there.
From this point, i retry, no avail.
So folks... what do?

Just push "Flash new"... you must be in fastboot...
What i see from all your info is that your recovery is not working correct..
The tool will properly fix it!
This program does not work, :|
it does not solve my SD card issue and i cannot flash a new ROM for my phone to be useable, all it can do is boot into fastboot or RA 1.6.2 hero recovery, but nothing else.
Any feedback?
Go to fastboot menu.
Then type:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
The last thing in the line is a zero!
This should fix your sdcard issue... try flashing anything from recovery or whatever :0)
How do i go about installing a new ROM from the hero recovery screen using the adb shell?
Did the above not work?
I do not know how to upload a rom from this point on, using the fastboot command you have given, and going to the recovery screen, i do not know what to do now.
If your SD card is working just find a ROM you want to use, download it to the main directory of you SD card, go into recovery, select wipe and wipe system/Dalvik cache/cache, then click flash from .zip, and select the .zip you want to use. You can find ROMs under the development section. Make sure you find one that says 32a and 6.35 radio in the title.

Got a rom that you could recommend as my first ? that is sure to work?
I've looked at Cyanogen mod, and it says i require DangerSPL, but Danger SPL cannot be installed on a magic with a 6.x radio, which is what i have.
Solved!
Went out and bought a new SD card, a Sandisk Mobile microSDHC 8GB, popped it in and it formatted properly.
i was faced with the mount error again, but i did the USB-MC on off thing twice, and it is now imaging a ROM
New drama now, having installed Amon-Ra's clean Donut, it keeps informing me my simcard is not inserted, which it is, the correct orientation as well,
I am a Virgin mobile user in Australia.
any ideas on how to fix?
all is well! yet again, ill stop spamming replies now, the diagram on the "SIM Slot" case was wrong, so my sim was upside down.
You don't need the danger spl unless your using a G1. Make sure your looking at the CM ROMs with "DS" at the end.

Ok first off I am new to all of this. This Is my first android smartphone It's a T-Mobile MyTouch 3g. I just bought It off eBay and If I can't fix It then I am out some money PLEASE HELP!!
Have done some reading but can't seem to fix what's going on with this phone . I got It off eBay and the seller said It had problems with the touch screen every so often but other wise worked great In every other way but that Is so so far from the truth.
When you first turn It on It will boot up to the sim pin screen. I have gotten the touch screen to respond long enough to enter my pin once. It will freeze and reboot over and over. The track ball will work once In a while along with the home and back buttons.
I know It's running Superfly TCBY Froyo ROM and I think thats were all the problems are because It does work right every so often so I have been trying to unroot It and put It back to factory rom and settings and start fresh with the hopes that It will fix the problems but the problem now Is when I go into recovery to flash It or make any kinds of changes, It will freeze and reset. I can't even get the recovery menu to work long enough to do anything. Can someone please explain how I can get this phone back to original.
PLEASE HELP
We need your fastboot information. Turn the phone on holding back+power and post the info you see here.

OK well I did a search and have been doing alot of reading and I managed to get It to load a Generic MyTouch Rom w/Root because when I try to unroot to SAPPIMG Sapphire T-Mobile US 2.10.531.4 release i keep getting main version older update failed so I read to go to a Generic MyTouch Rom w/Root and try again from here
"theunlockr.com/2010/04/26/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-htc-mytouch-3g"
Still same problem main version older update failed. I can't create a Goldcard to try the Goldcard method because I don't have access to the phone to enable USB debugging. I can't do much with the phone because of the freezing.
I can get Into fastboot and hboot but It still freezes. So I know It's not bricked but touch Is still not working. can load the phone up but pretty much becomes a good paper weigh after a few minutes on. The buttons will not responded, no touch, no access to to anything Inside the phone.
What can I do? Is this phone worthless? Can It be fixed? I feel like I just bought a expensive paper weigh.
As I said before I am hoping that If I can get It back to original settings and rom that It will stop freezing, stop rebooting and the touch, buttons, and system will work right.. What do you think Is causing all of these problems?? No touch, Freezing, rebooting?? How can I get It back to being unrooted and running the original software/rom PLEASE HELP.....
If you have access to recovery you can flash an engineering SPL and the just flash the stock sappimg again and it'll work. I can link ya in a minute.

when i flash the recovery and boot it just goes to the green mytouch splash screen and does nothing.. if i try to boot into recovery manually with power and home it goes to the black screen with the exclamation triangle and a phone...
I can still get Into HBOOT and FASTBOOT but I can not get Into the recovery menu and the phone will not load pass the MyTouch 3g screen.
How can I flash a new recovery img via hboot?
[What I "know"]
My understanding is that I have a Shipment SPL aka "Perfect SPL" with Security on which means I cannot use fastboot.
I also get a "Main version is older. Update failed" when I try to down grade and unroot.
[My Goal]
I want to change my SPL to a engineering one, unroot and get back to stock.
Your going to need to make a goldcard, which means you will need a phone that runs Android. Any phone running Android will work. You can use the guide from here to make it. You'll only need the other phone for Part III steps 1-5 from that guide. Once you get the goldcard made, put this file on it, boot into hboot and flash like you did the other sappimg. That will get you the engineering SPL. Then from fastboot, run this command:
Code:
fastboot erase system
Then, put this SAPPIMG on your regular SD card (or you can replace the other sappimg on your goldcard) and flash it from hboot. Hopefully something in the system partition is corrupted and the wipe will fix it so that the sappimg can write the new system properly.
First off THANK YOU DonJuan692006 for all of your help.. I would love to make a gold card because I think that would solve all of my problems but I don't have access to another phone that runs Android that's why I have not tried that yet. I have no way to make a gold card. I have extra SD Cards but no other phone that runs Android to complete It and my phone will not allow me to do any of that at this point. What else can I do?? Is there any other way to make a gold card?
I will have access to another phone that runs Android In a few days but until then I am stuck.
I have now made a gold card, got the engineering spl Installed and then tried to Install the other file and It gets stuck on system unzipping while updating and then reboots. what can I do now???
Were you able to do the fastboot erase system before trying the second sappimg?
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
No I was not able to do that. I have done alot of reading over the last few weeks and I still don't understand how to enter commands In fastboot. So thats why it didn't work?
That was kind of the point in flashing the engineering SPL. All you do is download the AndroidSDK kit. Extract it to somewhere you can find it. Inside of that folder will be a folder called Tools with the fastboot.exe. So you just open a command prompt from there and do the command in my other post.
So, if you were to extract AndroidSDK to the root of your C: drive (as I did), you would simply open a command prompt window by typing "cmd" in either the run box on Windows XP or the "Search" box in Windows Vista and 7, and then type
Code:
cd C:\AndroidSDK\Tools\
Alternatively, if your using Windows Vista or Windows 7, you can navigate in Windows Explorer to the Tools folder and launch a command prompt directly from that folder by holding Shift and right-clicking. There will be an extra option in the menu "Open command window here". Make sure that you don't right click on a file, right-click somewhere in the a blank are in the folder.

Ok, I understand. I have AndroidSDK Installed. Needed It to make the goldcard. I understand how to do It know. Thanks again for all your help. I will try again the right way and get back.

Hello, my HTC Glacier has been stuck in bootloop and the only thing I can access is the HBOOT.
I tried the following:
1. Unplugged the battery leave if for a minute or two, then plug it back in.
2. Unplugged the SD Card while rebooting.
3. Rebooting through HBOOT
These steps above didn't make a difference.
When I entered HBOOT I also received the following message:
SD Checking...

No image!
Loading... [PD15DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading... [PD15IMG.zip]
No image!

No image or wrong image!

I had some instances where I was able to get out of bootloop, but when I tried to enter recovery mode by rebooting the phone then I get stuck in the bootloop again.
The bootloop often happens when:
1. Connecting my phone to a USB port (mac)
2. Connecting my phone to a car charger
Thank you so much for any assistance/help that you can provide.
It sounds like you may have the PD15IMG file on your SD card. If that is what you are trying to do, it may be a bad download. If not, delete it off of your SD Card or make a folder for it. And if it is not on there at all...well I don't know what to tell you on that.
Just now I unplugged the SD card and when I entered HBOOT, I no longer receive this message:
SD Checking...

But when I tried to enter the Recover or reboot it from HBOOT, I got stuck in the booloop again.
Download full stock PD15IMG.ZIP
Put on SD card
Reboot to bootloader
It'll ask you to update
Allow update
If everything is ok - you get the stock ROM back
If something isn't ok - your phone is dead
The procedure has been documented and explained multiple times, searching the forum with the right terms will help you find everything you need to either restore your phone or determine that it's done. Exactly the same thread with exactly the same question is currently on the first page of the forum.
also agree w/ jack.... read the dev forums... resource bible in dev forum
I truly believe a phone could never be bricked with all the awesome info in the dev forum.... first .... LEARN ADB! and use it to install the latest CW recovery on your phone... next boot into recovery... volume down plus power at the same time.... choose recovery..... when you get to recovery... should be orange... wipe everything... factory wipe... cache wipe... go to advanced wipe dalvik and battery stats... go back and look for mounts and then format everything... cache, data, sdcard, system.... then plug in your usb cable to your computer and copy whatever rom you would like... i prefer doing footballs 2.2.1... that way i can re-root... ***make sure the rom is "PD15IMG.IMG"... then unmount.... go back a few in recovery until you see power down... then power down... pull battery... replace battery..... power into bootloader ( volume down and power button at the same time ) then sit back and let it do its magic... when it asks you to update... select yes.... let it do its thing..... that's it..... no more bricked phone..... enjoy and re-root.... but seriously..... read all the info in the dev section.... lots of really good stuff!
The link to guide for solving bootlooping/freezing MT4G or determining its death (and unluckily, most of those WILL be terminal cases and the phone WILL be determined as dead beyond any repair), is now in MyTouch 4G Wiki, under "Troubleshooting". The link to (updated and sorted) Wiki is in my signature.
corrupt pd15img files?????????
Hello,
I am having a similar problem. I have an htc glacier (mt4g) and it is stuck on the reboot cycle. The phone will go to either fastboot or hboot but I cannot navigate with the volume up or down to choose any options. The phone goes to the bootloader screen and it will load the PD15IMG file and then asks if I want to update and I can press up volume to start the update. When it finishes it gives me the error main version is older. I tried with another file from a different source and it runs through the update and then says to press the power button to restart and then shuts off and opens back up to the boatloader screen. Is it the file that is the problem or something else all together.
On the bootloader screen it says:
glacier pvt ship s-on
hboot 0.89.006
microp 0429

also when doing the update the phone skips over #7 tp is that a problem? Please help if you have any knowledge of what seems to be the problem.
Disclaimer: I have searched and searched, but found nothing that works.
Mytouch 3g, google branded.
Rooted about a year ago. Installed CM5(I think it was 5). Got greedy and messed it up. Tried to go back to stock. Failed. Bought a Vibrant. Put the mytouch in a drawer. Trying to get it to work again. Here is the problem(s):
The recovery installed was a vodafone. It booted up fine, but when on the welcome screen where it says "touch the android to begin" the phone would not recognize the fact that I was actually touching the screen. Track ball worked fine, but since it actually wanted me to touch the screen it was a no go.
Today while trying to fix the phone and trying to flash all kinds of recovery images I would get the "Main version is older! Update fail!" message. I finally found one (the 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip) that would actually get past the update fail.
The phone now boots up to the main home screen. But it still does not recognize the fact that I am actually touching the screen. The only way I can navigate anything is by using the track ball.
When I click on the "dialer", "contacts", or "call log" icons I get the message:
"Sorry. The process android.process.acore has stopped...blah blah blah"
Does anyone have any ideas?
I have a gold card.

Initially the device wouldn't boot up at all. I managed to flash an RRU and get Android to boot the phone but now the problem is the SDCARD isn't recognized, every time the device boots up it says SD CARD is ready to be removed. I found a command to fix the sdcard bit from the cyanogen mod forums even though I am not running it (I know) remote boot is not allowed on my phone so I can't even use that. Tried to flash the Engineering SPL 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg using a gold card but it pops up stating:
Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
Please help!
[EDIT]
Also, fastboot getvar version-main gives out the following:
version-main: 2.56.494.7
I understand that my version is higher. Is there a way I could modify it? or the sappimg to think otherwise?
[EDIT]
Cheers!
[UPDATE]
I have managed to root using one click method and now have busybox and su.
I have also managed to flash amon_ra recovery without sd card (well obviously since SD card isn't working for me). Recovery doesn't see the sd card either sadly.

I haven't read the whole thread, but will it be tough to root from this stock ROM? Ehm, probably I should not get my hopes up too soon.

Too bad, the G2 complains about "Lack of heap" for this PC10IMG.zip. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Thanks, but still no luck. It checks out the PC10IMG.zip with progress bar, then "Checking.." and goes back to HBOOT page without flashing anything.
So this is probably the closest I got to unbricking, but still no dice. I use this PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip as PC10IMG.zip and the phone actually says "Main version is older" and refuses to flash.
Will it be possible to use a hex editor and edit the version number to trick the G2 to flash that ROM?

After it checks the pc10img.zip you don't get any prompt at all to update, such as volume bar up to update and volume bar down to cancel?

Nope, it just went back to the HBOOT page. However, with the other PC10IMG.zip file I mentioned, it actually says that the "main version is older" and hence not flashing. I'm thinking if I can just edit the version in android-version.txt, then maybe that will trick the G2 to flash? Is there any other place/file where version check is done?
After you put the pc10img.zip on the sd card and you reboot into bootloader, press the power bar one time and there should be a progress bar on the right side that does a check. After that, don't do anything, just report here what is says on the phone display.

You could mod the stock images, but you would have to sign it with HTC's signature. Maybe a goldcard will fix this?
If I follow this correctly, the main version is older error is because you are trying to flash an older ROM on top of an new one. You are also using the stock, S-ON, non-engineering bootloader so you get stuck at the signature checks.
Maybe you might get lucky...

If you can boot into the system, or a custom recovery, it is possible to change the version values, using the misc_version tool from the wiki.
Otherwise, you could try flash the 2nd PC10IMG via fastboot.

Unfortunately, I can't boot into the system. I can only get the bootloader and fastboot. Both recovery and normal boot give me the HTC splash screen and stuck there. Thus I cannot use adb at all
I guess I'll look more into the gold card method. I've never tried a gold card before. Is there a good tutorial on this? Thanks for all the suggestions.
Don't rule out adb until you try it. Even if it's stuck on the splash screen, you might be able to use adb shell.
I'm not 100% sure the gold card will work, but it's worth a shot. You can search for it on xda- other phones relied on it more for rooting than the g2.
Well, after checking the PC10IMG.zip that I've used, I still have some questions.
From my understanding, the second PC10IMG.zip won't work because it's not signed. It is a homebrew with clockwork recovery, original 1.12 ROM and .76 HBOOT. That's probably why the phone just returns back to G2 HBOOT screen after checking the PC10IMG.zip
The problem with third PC10IMG.zip is simply that it's too old and G2 refuses to flash it.
My question is why the first PC10IMG.zip not flashing? It is the latest OTA from T-MO, signed and sealed All I get is "Lack of heap" error when the HBOOT found the PC10IMG.zip
You might be onto something...
The unofficial leaked version is 2.13.531.8, but the official GB update is higher - 2.15.531.3.
It's out here somwhere- let me fire up the ol' search engine.

Try the ROM in this thread.

It's version is 2.15.531.8, so it should be higher than any T-MO ROM out there.
If you still get the lack of heap error, than try a gold card.
Good luck!
Edit: to be clear, the first ROM you flashed is the leaked version - 2.13.531.3.
Goldcard will not help, a goldcard only lets you bypass CID errors.
I've only seen lack of heap when someone tried to flash a DZ PC10IMG to a G2, so make sure you have a proper one.
You can try flash it from fastboot.
1. get to fastboot (hold down trackpad when powering up, or select fastboot from hboot menu)
2. in cmd 'fastboot devices' to make sure it works (from tools or platform-tools if you havn't set Path variable)
3. fastboot oem rebootRUU (this will get you to a black screen with silver HTC logo)
4. fastboot flash zip PC10IMG.zip
If it stops and says "FAILED: Repeat Immediatly" just redo the fastboot flash zip command.
