[Q] help reverting back to stock - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so i had s off for a long time now on my mytouch 4g but tried to flash glacier tmous rom by football yesterday, now im s on but can still get into recovery and flash one of my many backups on rom manager. cyanogen 7.1.0 is the only one that will work now any other rom that i have backuped is not going any further than the boot screen. im really looking to go back to stock but im having trouble finding the stock rom and flashing it . please help, any info is appreciated. when i boot into recovery phone reads as follows:
glacier pvt ship s on
hboot 0.86.0000
microp 0429
radio 26.08.04.30.m3
emmc boot

Search the development section for
pd15img.zip flash via boot. Should put back to complete stock.

i have searched and found that pd15img. zip flash i need to be s off and i am s on, im really trying to go back to stock everything!

Check the ultimate s= on/off thread? Haven't read it awhile but if I remember right down at the bottom of the first post, theres instructions for S= off.
Your post is kind of confusing. You want to go back to complete stock, but then want s off? S off isn't completely stock. But anyway that ultimate s off thread should get you where you want to be.

[Q] Need Help Updating My Radiooooo

I have a [32A] My Radio is 2.22.23.02 Im trying to update it to 3.22 I Found a tutorial but really didnt understand the command prompt parts ..................................sorry ima noob
No no no no no, did I say no? You've got a hybrid 32A/32B device. Flash that radio and your phone will become a paperweight. You need to read the sticky on the first page about myTouch 1.2's.
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
Ooooooooo I get now so my phone is really 32B? Hmmmmm the reason I was asking because I want to get Ginger yoshi rc4 it said it needed 3.22......how do I successfully install that rom?
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
You probably wont be able to. You can try flashing it and then flashing a 32B kernel over it, but that may send you into a bootloop. Which is fine, just make sure you make a backup of your current ROM first so you can restore it if something does go wrong.

When I flash Ginger Yoshi I do go into boot loop I always thought it was the radios fault tho..
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
Its not necessarily that the radio is at fault, more that the ROM's kernel isn't made to support the 2.22.23.02 radio.

HTC Panache RUU on glacier rooted.

Ok after reading that I can go back to default RUU. I used the panache RUU, then tried visionary, didn't work.
Then I tried gingerbreak and it gave me error telling me to manualy reboot to check if SU is there. I rebooted removing battery..... And vola... super user was installed.I got rooted. Just installed Rom manager to flash recovery and all is fine.

Don't want to use custom as I'm very happy with stock . But as clockwork is installed, it should be fine. Using adfree, market access. Both needed root.

Could you please point me to the HTC Panache RUU file... I've searched all over, but cant seem to find it... My girls MT4G was stock, and got the TMO Gingerbread OTA. It soft bricked her phone (I can go into bootloader, fastboot, & when i attempt to power on, I get as far as the MyTouch 4G splash screen). Since it didn't have a custom recovery & was S-On, I'm pretty much stuck. I figure if at least this flashes, root, or no root, the phone will be functional again.. Please help...

So you are saying she had a stock unrooted MT4G, and the OTA bricked her phone? Strange.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16646127#post16646127
The RUU files for Mobilicity and Videotron are linked there. You might need a Gold Card to install, since the CID is different.
But overall, if the OTA bricked her S-ON device, I wonder if she just has the bad eMMC... and she was unlucky enough to discover that upon receiving an OTA.
The Dropbox link for Panache RUU doesn't work anymore. I've been looking for it but didn't find any.
How about the FileFactory link for the Mobilicity RUU?

When I worked for Sprint's Tech Support department, most calls I got when the Gingerbread update rolled out to the HTC Evo 4G, were regarding this. It happens.

Unroot for warranty replacement

I was reading the threads for unrooting the mytouch and from what I read they only work if you rooted with gfree. I rooted via root.sh and I do have a nandroid of my stock rom. Anyone know how I would go about unrooting my phone? I am receiving a warranty replacement and I am very desperate. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

here are a couple links for you:
read this one first and make sure you are on the stock radio
use this method to unroot

Thanks for responding, but the unroot method you posted is the one I talked about in the op. The very first sentence in that thread says "will only work if you rooted via gfree" (not exact words but close). Which I did not root with gfree.

doh! my bad.... well the easiest way would be to flash the stock PD15IMG.zip in the bootloader. download this file here, name it PD15IMG and put it in the root of your SD. turn off the phone then boot into hboot(hold vol down+power button), the bootloader should automatically find the file then ask you to update. hit yes and and it should start flashing. make sure you are on the stock radio before doing this

Thanks. Do I have to be on a stock rom before flashing the PD15IMG file? Or can I be running any rom and just put the file on the root of my sd card and let it install? Will it automatically put the stock rom back on?

Figured it out. Everything is back to stock and surprisingly my phone is running smoother and faster than it has since I have been using custom roms.

@Towle- if youre on virtuous fusion with the updated radio, flash a different rom that doesnt require the radio. then revert to the stock radio, then you can go ahead and flash the stock PD15IMG in hboot. yes it will put the stock rom back on the phone and restore it back to factory conditions
@cabello80- radios can be found here
and no it will not change your hboot

Those aren't included? It seems like I have all stock apps. So if I just leave it as it is right now is there any way tmobile can tell it was ever rooted?

That's nice of you but you don't have to offer anything on return. There's plenty of us that will help you out with no needed incentives.
But to answer your question, can you still get into your bootloader? Take battery off and put it back in. Then hold down Volume Down+Power button. If so, then all isn't lost. You can try to use the stock PD15IMG.zip for the Panache to put it back to stock.

Idk how to do that. I shouldn't of messed with it now the phone is useless. Cause these asians asking for 80$ at mall but its to much
The problem here is that the op tried rooting the panache the same way they rooted theirs friends mytouch 4g. Problem with this is that the panache come with gingerbread already. So they will have to downgrade.
I figured these steps will downgrade their panache with the stock US 2.2.
febycv said:
To make the process very simple, try this method.
Just follow this steps for an error free downgrade.
1. Download the rom here.
2. Rename it to PD15IMG.zip
2. Place it on the root of your sd card.
3. Switch On your phone while holding the Power button & the down volume button.
4. The hboot menu will update your phone (do according to the hboot instructions).
The original bootloader is 0.86.0000
Now reboot & enjoy your update......This is the original T-mobile 2.2.1 version....so no worries.....

Those steps wont work. You need the instructions on the G2 section. I'm on my phone so I can't link,but its in there. You meed to downgrade back to froyo. ADB is also required. So hopefully you know how to do that.

If you are using the Panache, you should be doing this guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16858971&postcount=98
It sounds to me like you need a gold card to downgrade your panache to the old android software. Too bad in order to make a gold card you need access to the panache to push the PD15IMG.zip into the card... You can always ask around to see if anyone in your area has a gold card for the panache u can borrow in order to fix your phone.
She is doing this guide. Actually, I've temp-rooted her phone and "updated" the MISC partition for downgrade, but she didn't have a card reader ready for making a goldcard, and the next day she already managed to reboot her phone and get stuck. So the only thing she needs is a goldcard.
The problem currently is getting CID out of this phone, I'm not sure stock bootloader shows it, and it's required for goldcard. If anyone knows Panache's CID - please share. If not - Panache RUU will be required to return to stock, but there is not a single link on the net now. So if anyone has it - please share, too.
Make a gold card for her using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970157 ? If you have the panache just insert a 1 gig card into the phone and enable disc mode.
1) Format it first
2) Click MMC2 and click get CID
3) Click on the website on the lower part and paste the CID number onto the form
4) go to email download image
5) Load the image and patch it and you'll have a semi ready gold card.
6) Put the phone back in charge/debug mode and push the PD15img.zip file through and it should revert it to mytouch4g stock.
Ps. I just rooted my panache two days ago and Im successfully running VU rom.
The problem with this guide is that it doesn't explicitly say that the phone needs to be fully booted into Android and with USB debugging enabled - but it needs to be. So if the phone doesn't boot, this guide is worthless. See the method this guide is referring to for getting CID out of the phone, and you'll understand.
In any case, the problem is fixed (or actually, there was no problem), the phone is booting. Hopefully, everything will remain ok.
Yea. The last time I gtalked her she was able to boot into the device. Also she did tell me when trying to flash the stock 2.2 unrooted rom from hboot
She did mention something about CID. Hope she can figure out. I don't use adb because I can't get it to ever work on none of the pc's I use so I don't know adb yet. So I won't be able to help her in that part.

Help flashing roms

I recently rooted my Mytouch 4G using the Unlock Bootloader from Htcdev.com, i also flashed clockworkmod, busybox and superuser, The problem I'm having is when ever i try to flash a ROM i downloaded the phone just gets stuck at where you first boot it up at The "T Mobile MyTouch 4G" screen and just stays like that, i've tried it with a few different ROMs and it just stays like that, if anyone can help that'll be great and if you need more information then just ask please. i can also revert to the stock ROM fine but its the other ROMs that don't work
Thanks

You will need to revert down to 2.2.1 stock, then root. I did the same thing and found an issue with flashing roms. I do.t have the thread links with me right now but could help when I get home tonight.

This is no "issue". It's the intended behavior of HTCDev-unlocked bootloader. Kernel is to be flashed separately.
The only way to avoid it is to relock the bootloader and S-OFF with the old-fashioned downgrading method.
Ok so I used the wrong term when I said "issue". All I was getting at was s-off is the easier and preferred method.
