jf1.5 to legitimate

hey there, before you yell at me to search hear me out.
i followed the tutorial to root my phone from the latest legit version of android. i installed jesesfrekes 1.5 version along with the radio(?) from htc. i figured i would bring it back to the stock version so i did some searching and found that most threads didnt say much but go search! well i did find some hints that people were saying to download the original rc29 dreimg.nbh and power on via camera and power button and go from there. the problem is that when i boot into the phone via camera button and power button, all i see are little androids on skateboards and SERIAL0, with no instructions or prompts to continue. can anyone help me out on what to do from here to get the stock firmware back, and everything back to factory?
thanks in advance!

if you don't see the image update screen before serial0, it means the file DREAIMG.nbh is not on your sdcard or the card is not properly formatted. also note that the whole linux system is published under GPL and Android is an open source project, so mods are strickly legitimate.

You plug in usb cable then hit back button from there. Then it should say fastboot instead of serial.

Two things:
Hey there,
If you want to go back to truly stock, you'll first want to replace your SPL with the stock one. Once you go back to unrooted, you won't be able to do this again without getting root back. So it has to be done first. Right now, you've got HardSPL, or Engineering SPL. Once you reflash back to the ugly rainbow original SPL, I have a feeling you've put the DREAIMG.nbh ZIP FILE on your SD card. Unlike other updates you do in recovery mode, YOU HAVE TO UNZIP THIS ZIP FILE first, and put the unzipped contents (the DREAIMG.nbh file ITSELF, around 95 MB or so) on the SD card. If you just download that zip and put it on there, it won't work.
Good luck.

please excuse my ignorance when using the term legitimage, i just did not know what terms to use to accuretly point to what i needed to talk about.
anyways, i think the problem may be that the sd card was not formatted correctly, for the img file is definitly there. i am having a hard time formatting it via pc, since everything i right click on the drive in "my computer" and hit format, the pc says no drive found, and my phone claims "preparing sd card" also, i tried the format option on the phone itself, which apprently did not work.

So you rooted your phone, flashed spl then updated to 1.5?

i am putting the straight nbh file on there, and not the zip, it seems like my problem lies in formatting. and may i ask what you mean by replacing my spl? what is the importance of this, and if it is of upmost importance, how do i go about doing it?
thanks a bunch for the quick responses.

Unfortunately, I have had VERY LITTLE LUCK dealing with my G1 on Vista. Anything other than casually connecting it and transferring files casues the same types of headaches you're experiencing. Trying to scan the disk, trying to format it, fix errors, even eject the disk (safely remove) causes the phone to disconnect and/or Windows to claim not to be able to read it.
I'm not saying Vista and the G1 can't work together well, I'm just saying mine don't. --So I always use my XP machine whenever I try to do anything like that. Other than that, if you're sure you've unzipped your nbh file, sorry I can't be of much help.

after doing a little bit of research i guess i need to change the skateboard version of the spl to the gay pride one for 100percent original correct? how do i do this?
also i updated the radio(whatever that means ) from the HTC website, as per the tutorial. do i have to "downgrade" that as well?

my 2c:
the sdcard has to be formatted as fat32, not fat16. i never had luck with G1 and interfacing with a computer or doing anything like rooting a phone while the sdcard was fat16. works like a charm when its fat32 though.

i managed to get skateboard SPL to recognize my dream image.nbh by formatting the sd card on a windows xp as designdawg mentioned. now im trying to figure out if i need to downgrade the spl and radio, before i flash the dreamimage.nbh on there.

D'OH! It's too late, I think. I told you that on my first post. You must have missed it. In order to change your SPL, you have to be able to flash images signed with the test keys. You can no longer do that because you have RC29 with the stock recovery, which will only flash google-signed keys. The only way to go back to the original SPL is to re-root your phone now.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

oh no! you must have misunderstood, i have not gone back to RC29 yet, i am still on jf1.5 patiently waiting instructions here, haha

Oh. Gooood. Well, all you need to do is download the SPL file for the original, rename it update.zip, put it on your card, home+power to get to recovery mode, then ALT+S to flash your SPL back to original. Then you can use the original SPL (Camera+power) to flash back to RC29. RC29 will reset your radio and everything, so you'll be factory fresh at that point. I would throw an ALT+W in there somewhere to wipe it if I were you, or you can always do it after you've done RC29.
You're ready to go. (I just did all this last night myself).

excuse me if this is a dumb question, but where can i download the original spl? i would search for it but im not exactly sure what to search hah. thanks a lot for helping me out once again. also, would it be okay to alt+w right before i do the update.zip for the original spl?

In case anyone is following and still having trouble with this:
1. Download the Original SPL By downloading G1OrigBootloader_nocheck.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455860
2. Rename to update.zip and flash via normal Home+Power Method
3. Download Original RC29 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480)
4. Unzip .nbh file and place in the root of your newly formatted card.
5. Boot with Camera+Power and follow the steps given onscreen to install
6. Don't enjoy losing root : (
EDIT: In order to get to the current build you have to update in steps so after upgrading to RC29 upgrade to RC30 and then to RC33 via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479571)
PS I had App2SD for a long time so the SPL would look for my image in the EXT3 partition and then quit when it couldnt find it. So I ended up having to format it completely to FAT32 and then it worked.
Hope this helps

Rogers magic update freeze/brick

Hello all,
As many of you know Rogers issued an update for 911 issues and sense ui just recently, unfortunately as I attempted the update via SD card method, the first update seemed to have gone well but after once it wanted to reboot it keeps on splashing the ROGERS over and over.
I'm thinking this is most likely because I am rooted and the process just didn't agree.
I am currently running amon ra's 1.2.3 rec. img
with amon ra's 1.6 rom
32A motherboard
BTW I still get to boot when I hold end+vol down
and when I hold end+home I get amon ra's screen but is quickly taken away after a few seconds.
Any help would be much appreciated.

good news and bad news.
good news, im pretty damn sure thats not a brick as you can still get into fastboot (the vol down + power)((atleast thats what i think fastboot is))
bad news, i dunno how to fix it.
i know theres a way to revert to original stock ROM via fastboot, so im sure it is fixable. don't know about custom ROMs via fastboot.
bed time, though. good luck, man, and dont get bummed cause im 99% sure you aren't just plain ****ed.
edit: just noticed screenie, but can't see it because my girlfriends retarded wanna-be stepdad decides to look at pr0n all night and continues to install "mywebsearch" **** and i can't get to it. :/
Hopped on my mytouch, still think your good but let someone else who knows more vertify that.

another option
one other thing you can do,
go to a rogers store, and tell them you tried applying the so called essential upgrade 'b/c you care about your safety' and the '911 issue is a important fix'. tell them you recieved instructions to do w/e it is using the SD card method.
basically, you tried the update ---> phone got messed up.
i know someone else did it and it was grounds for them just giving you a new phone.
not saying 100% it'll work, but its worth it b/c you get a new device with the new ROM on it if it does.
goodluck.

Can you clarify which SD card method? Was it using the official DREAIMG.nbh from Rogers?
I thought that I had bricked my phone because I went for a hail mary attempt to root my phone. But unfortunately it wouldn't get past the Rogers screen.
However, after talking to a CSR, they sent me a link to the Windows 7 file and it rewrote everything back onto my phone and I was able to boot it normally again.

@r3s-rt
Ya, thanks. I figured I wasn't completely boned.

I had the same problem while installing the new update yesterday. I had to call Rogers to guide me through it and even he couldn't figure it out. My phone just kept rebooting over and over after installing the first update. Even in recovery mode it didn't give me a chance to wipe, flash or restore anything because it would reboot in a matter of 2 seconds. The tech support guy on the phone had no idea what to do. I finally realised that I had a seperate Mini SDcard USB adapter that I could put my SDcard in and then plug into the USB. That allowed me to access my SDcard so I was able to delete the first SAPPIMG and then put the new SAPPIMG from the second update onto the SDcard. I repeated the same process from the first update (I was able to access fastboot without it rebooting), everything installed perfectly and now the phone is up and running great. If you don't have a Mini SDcard to USB adapter I'd suggest picking one up at your nearest Electronics store. I believe I picked mine up at BestBuy for $35 which came with a 4gb class 4 SDcard. The adapter is so small that it actually sits on my key-chain. Hope this helps.

I was rooted before, this is why I'm sure I've had the same problem as many of you. It seems though that this issue doesn't just stop at us... This issue has been happening with many other carriers and I'm not sure why (as of yet). I've flashed dozens of other Sense ROM's and even ROM's without Sense for ei. Espresso and Eclair and they all worked fine before. This new Sense ROM from Rogers is fantastic. So try what I did and you should be on your way with no issues.
Now if only we can root this damn phone.

After the update your phone won't be rooted anymore, therefor your warranty will still be in effect. After flashing the first update it already changes your SPL and Radio therefor Rogers wouldn`t know if you were rooted prior to the update. If you stuck in the boot loop just follow my instructions and you will be home free.

Happy to hear that I could help. They did misname the files but how could you blame someone who goes by the name of Rogers. I have several services with them and it's nothing but headaches with them.
I'm sure it was a rushed update as well. The devs at HTC were probably pressed for time to get this update up and out the door within a couple of days. Rogers will possibly be a major distributor for them in the next upcoming years.

Thanks a lot!
That solved it.

Anyone been able to root this ROM yet..?? I have tryed everything and I just keep semi bricking my phone.. but I can always recover it.

Bricked?! Halp!

I've got a 32A mt3g 1.2.
PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
I can get into fastboot. but have no recovery. and CM6.1 just sits at the CM screen forever, but I have adb access at that screen.

First of all, wrong section. Moving to General. Next time your post will be trashed.
Secondly, your not bricked. Please check your definitions.
Third, try flashing the engineering bootloader via goldcard method and then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (Amon_RaG or ClockworkMod for MyTouch/Ion).
Then power off your phone and hold the home button while powering it back on.
You should now have a recovery. From there try flashing the rom again. If it still doesn't appear to be doing anything then do a wipe and reflash.

Thanks for the tips, ill go for that right now.
sorry for the wrong section. Im wouldve put it in the Q&A section if there was one.
EDIT:
The only guide for a goldcard I've found requires a working phone. Mine doesnt work.

Seriously?
myTouch 3G, Magic General
Discussion about the T-Mobile myTouch 3G, HTC Magic (general Q&A, tips & tricks)

Ok Im blind, sorry.
But still have a bricked phone. and if the MT3g section is anything like the HD2 section. the only place to get answers is the DEV section.

Your going to have to find someone with an Android phone (any Android phone will work) to create the goldcard.

No need. If you got adb access you can flash the custom recovery from there (cm 6.1 has the SU and flash_image binaries).
Then simply load the custom recovery and fix your rom/OS (flash a new one or wipe or what ever).
Take a look at my guide (check my signature) and you will find all the steps needed. Just make sure you use G recovery and NOT H.
Good luck hunting!

To add to that, what radio are you using? You only gave us your hboot.

If you put the goldcard in and boot to your bootloader and press the back key it will load your goldcard and flash the engineering spl.

He stated that the rom won't load and he can't load the recovery. His spl is S-ON so from where I sit the goldcard method is his ONLY choice.
If that doesn't work then he's pretty much SOL.

If you have a ****ed spl/radio combo, then all this is for nothing and there are other issues to be fixed first!

Its kinda a difficult situation. I only have adb access for a little while while @ the Cm screen, then it goes away, and Im stuck at the CM screen. I have attemped the goldcard a couple times, but I dont have the correct card, and none of mine seem to work. Wife was shopping, and could only find SanDisk cards, and it didnt work.
Radio is 2.22.23.02
Im gonna attempt anything and everything I can think of to get it to work, but I might have to just run into town and find a damn Kingston card.

SanDisk cards work, got mine sitting in a box in my closet from where I rooted my phone. It may be a procedure that's wrong, not the SD card.

Ok well I managed to get the goldcard made, but when I get into HBOOT, it scans the card and states: no image or wrong image for the sappimg.zip.
file is @ the root of my sdcard, and wont read it, yet when I dont have the goldcard setup, it reads the file just fine. same exact file.

Its not. I've managed to get 2 goldcards succefully made, verified that multiple times, but it just doesnt work. It will not read the file from the SDcard.
I can put the same file on my sdcard from my HD2 and it will read it no problem.
I might play around with it more, but for now, Im calling it a brick.

Just to make sure, have you tried downloading the sappimg file again?

Yea, I've got 3 or 4 different ones on my PC, tried all, none work. It reads the sdcard and just passes it by.
Im really stumped. Followed the goldcard method to a "T" with 4 cards, 2 actually succeed in the proccess, but niether will get the sappimg.zip to read.
After installing the card into the phone and, attempting the Hboot, the HEX gets changed on the card also, just a few values, nothing exteme
IDK if thats normal or what, but it happens.

I don't think it should change anything so that may be your problem. I'm pretty sure I looked at mine after using it and it was the same. Weird.

well last resort, gonna turn my 8gb class 6 sdcard for my HD2 into a goldcard, and check.
after putting the sappimg on the sdcard w/o formating, goldcard or anything, the MT reads the sappimg, and attempts, but gets the error, of course. So im attempting the goldcard right now.
UPDATE:
It worked, got eng SPL on the phone, figured I would just follow CM guide for rooting to verify that it will work. but Im stuck:
# Once it finishes flashing, it should ask you to reboot. Reboot and let it load to the new "htc Magic" boot screen.
# Chances are at this point that the phone will not successfully boot. THIS IS NORMAL. Simply remove and re-insert the battery, as we're not done yet!
# Download the following zip file (the stock myTouch SPL and Radio) and extract it: [1]
# Copy the two files inside the zip to the root of your SD Card
# Take the latest Amon_RA recovery you downloaded earlier and copy it to the root of your SD Card.
# Download terminal emulator from the market and run the following commands:
flash_image flash radio /sdcard/radio.img
flash_image flash hboot /sdcard/hboot_7201A_1.33.0013G_091021.nb0
flash_image flash recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G-cyan.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Items in red are the issue, if the phone doesnt boot, how am I supposed to get into market?

Done and Done! phone is working again. I guess I should've tried my nice sdcard a while ago, but I didnt want to screw it up.
Oh well. Thanks for all the tips and ideas guys!

I Need Help

Hi , okay i lost my old MyTouch 4g from launch , and received a new one back in August. I decided to finally do the downgrade via ADB , i got through every step and when it was time to do the "manual Downgrade" i put the Rom on the root of the SD card and when i booted to the bootloader it said PD15IMG.zip was found but the nbh file wasn't found
SD Checking...
Loading... PD15DIAG.zip
No image!
Loading... PD15DIAG.nbh
No image or wrong image!
Loading... PD15IMG.zip
No image!
Loading... PD15IMG.nbh
No image or wrong image!
and it never performed a downgrade , now when i tried to reboot back to the current rom, it gets stuck at the MYtouch 4g sign
i have a G1, so im able to swap memory cards to move files if need be because im not sure if i could access the USB mass storage through the bootloader
More information i have is at the Bootloader is
GLACIER PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.89.0005
MICROP-0429
RADIO-26.11.04.03_M
eMMC-boot

If I see and you type what there really is, then it didn't find any PD15IMG.ZIP.
That would be either because you have your card formatted in some weird way, or because you didn't follow the guide, didn't read the multiple warnings and unknowingly named your file PD15IMG.ZIP.ZIP (because your Windows isn't set to show file extensions).
So, formatting the SD card before use with regular FAT32 and making sure the name is right will solve that.
Moreover, you should check the MD5 of the PD15IMG. It will keep looking for .nbh only if the file is wrong.

no i downloaded the PD15IMG zip file from the guide i didn't have to change anything it was already named that file, so if i format the memory card all should be good ?, would i have to worry about doing the ADB again because i had multiple reboots by taking out the battery because of being stuck at the splash screen.
EDIT: Thank You Progress was made i just Formatted the memory Card now, its performing the Update through the Bootloader to 2.2.1 with the blue side bar , i'll keep this posted with another Edit
EDIT: 2.2.1 update wasunsuccessful it getts stuck at the purple "updating" words i went to a youtube video to see what the update process would be like its supposed to go "updating, OK, OK, Unzipping"
imma try to reinstall 2.3.4 then doing the ADB method if possible
EDIT: updating to 2.3.4 does nothing but the same thing 2.2.1 update did , now im stuck scratching my head

It means that the phone is stuck updating one of the partitions, which is bad.
You could attempt to flash Panache RUU on this thing. HTC have their own downloader, inaccessible through regular modes, which is invoked when RUU is being flashed using EXE file. You might also need a goldcard for your phone to attempt it. In the Mobilicity/Panache rooting thread in General section you'll see all the info on creating a goldcard. A bit of search will get you the Panache RUU .exe file
If the RUU is successful - you'll have HTC Panache for a phone. From there, you can attempt rooting and downgrading instructions in the Panache rooting thread.
If you still have warranty - I'd use it. Flashing Panache RUU, if it won't get you luckier with PD15IMG, will be irreversible, since I don't know of MyTouch 4G RUU in .exe format.

alright i have all the necessary files such as the RUU exes i tried to make the gold card but was unable to do so using the simple Gold card method , how would i go about turning my phone into the Panache if my phone cant even turn on fully ?

HTC software running on PC doesn't need your phone to be booted, it can automatically put the phone into HTC-specific download mode from any other mode.
Run the RUU.exe while the phone is in the bootloader, for example, and see if it flashes, and if not - what error does it show.

the RUU.exe says USB error, everytime i plug my phone in through the bootloader the computer comes up with a Android 1.0 New Hardware wizard i dont know if this is interfering with the .Exe not finding the phone
EDIT: Found Android 1.0 drivers , now the error was the phone not being charged LOL! , ill keep this posted with another edit after the phone is charged, thank you for the help i appreciate it.

Yes, you'll need the driver operational.
Use Windows 7 computer, it'll automatically find and install the needed driver.

Thank You So Much for your Help i went to T-Mobile , and my insurance covered for a new phone i took the option of going for the Sensation instead of getting another Mytouch 4g and running into the same problem,
I Enjoyed this community from my First MyTouch 4g of flashing multiple ROMS , this was and is a powerful phone i wish it had more dev/hacker support with this phone

[Stuck on Recovery] Cannot boot

Hi!, I've a not rooted HTC Desire Z.
After being very slow for some day today the device stay on the white screen with HTC for hours.
I've then tried to factory reset the device but when i select factory reset it stay stuck on the menu voice and i've to reboot removing the battery.
If i choose recovery it shows a green circle and an arrow in the center.
I've searched a bit on the forum but who has the same problem has not my model of phone and who has the same model has already unlocked the bootloder.. so... could anyone show me the right image/process to take to unlock/format the phone?

Put the og pc10 image for your phone and flash through flashboot. Start over. You're hanging cause your not rooted

Uhh uhh uhh... until someone like niqper (or however you spell his name) comes in here and tells you to flash that PC10IMG, do NOT flash it, I'm not saying it will break your phone but considering you aren't rooted I'm thinking it's not at all necessary and I don't know the consequences.. So wait, can you access the bootloader by holding down + vol ? What happens exactly?

Hi! and thank you for your interess:
The phone is unbranded and not rooted.
It's impossible to boot normally
And selecting the recovery or the factory reset just freeze on the bootloader screen.
I've tried putting the PC10IMG.zip that I've found on the web but seems that I need a later version because all the version I've used are too old.
Code:
VISION PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.85.0013
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.10.04.03_M
eMMC-boot

Try creating a gold card, you'll find how to guides all over the web

Here is the RUU for your phone RUU_Vision_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.42.405.2_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_199043_signed.exe
You can try just running the exe, or extracting the zip from it (run it, until it loads (says press next or whatever) and go to the %temp% dir in windows, and do a search for rom.zip, should be roughly 250mb)
It will be safe to flash, but will wipe all your data.
I do have a suspicion that you have a fried emmc chip, you seem to have some of the symptoms, so if it hangs during the flash that will be why, in which case you can't fix it and will need to get a replacement.

Thank you, I've extracted the rom.zip and uploaded it on the SD.
The process starts updating but hangs on the first step (updating bootloader).
I think that you are right the emmc is gone...

That's a real shame time to upgrade to SGS3 or One X ? I think sooo! I'm so glad we have a resident expert like niqper to help us out with general technical stuff though so when I make the change I'll definitely miss that !

Its an HTC G2 but has the same problem with being stuck on the HTC screen
Is there an ruu for my phone? I tried the one above and it started fine, updated the first 2 then reset then when it reloaded it says "model ID incorrect"

You shouldn't of flashed that rom, thats for a DZ, not a G2.
You must've had fake S-OFF too.
You can try flashing this rom PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_2.15.531.3_Radio_12.52.60.25U_26.08.04.30_M3.zip
You better hope your main version is low enough to accept it though.
And that the DZ hboot accepts it (chances are it'll throw some sort of heap error)
You might be able to use a goldcard (which you need a functioning android phone to create) to allow the DZ stock rom to flash, though I can't guarantee anything.
Your phone not booting would be because the g2 hboot and dz hboot have their partition layout quite different, so its looking in the wrong place to try load android now.
