Hey guys, I have spent the last 8 hours trying to figure this out.
I have a MyTouch 3g 1.2 and I want to root it and install Cyanogen's new ROM. I have been following the rooting guide from TheUnlckr.com.
I am able to complete everything fine (I needed to substitute the sappimg for the Sapphire one to make it work), but it finally completed.
When I go to fastboot with SDK, I can see my device, so everything looks fine. However, when I go to flash the radio, hboot, and recovery images, I get a error that says:
Code:
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>fastboot flash radio radio.img
sending 'radio' <21504 KB>...FAILED <remote: not allow>
finished. total time: 0.016s
This is the pattern for each of the files I try to flash...
This is where I'm at, and I haven't even gotten to flashing the ROM yet. So, I currently just have a stock device. Can someone please help me out?
I tried using the following sappimg:
2.53.707.2_-_sappimg
SAPPIMG_Sapphire_T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4_release_signed
the following SPL:
update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2010-signed
the following recovery images:
recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img
flashrec-1.1.2-20090909.apk
flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2
flashrec-20090815
I'm clearly all over the place now. Someone please point me in the right direction. I tried several different ways to fix it, but none of them worked. The most reason I tried was the method of using the flashrec to flash a recovery image while the phone is on, instead of fastbooting it. That didn't work because it kept saying it was the wrong image for the phone.
Thanks in advance guys. And believe me, I've been searching and searching.

before you can flash anything with fastboot, you have to shoehorn that engineering SPL into the phone somehow (probably have to make a goldcard, but I don't know for sure on the 1.2 mytouch)
which rooting guide are you using? (there are many different ones on unlockr, some of which are terribly obsolete)
also, flashrec isn't a recovery image, its a one-click rooting app that only works on android 1.5 (pretty sure the 1.2 mytouch only runs 1.6)

This was the guide I was using. (I can't link to outside sites, so I'll just copy it as text) http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/
I also successfully created a goldcard, and installed all the ADB stuff. The part that's hanging me up is the flashing of the recovery image via fastboot usb.
I'm so close! I have successfully rooted two other mytouch devices, but they were not the 1.2 version.
Any more help would be great!

what "sapphire" image did you substitute? and what happened when you tried to use the sappimg that they gave you in the instructions?
When I tried using that image, it just said "wrong file for this phone" or something like that. I know the goldcard was done right, though, because it works with another sappimg. I'm trying to follow cryptsmoker's guide now. I'm going to try and use the engineering img/SPL now. We'll see how it goes.
Ok, now I'm getting frustrated.
Here is my info:

I just got the Model ID incorrect!
Update Fail!
This happens with every sappimg I use except T-Mobile 2.10.531.4. I'm sure that's the stock one, so that's probably why. I'm just so ticked.
To clarify again, After I hboot the sappimg, I reboot and instead of being taken to the Magic screen, I'm taken to a standard MyTouch splash, then Android splash, then MyTouch setup screen. My touchscreen works the entire time. Is this because I basically just reinstalled the stock ROM?
I just can't seem to get ANY other sappimg to work beside the stock one. I've used three different goldcards and all of them work the exact same way.
Please help!
Dane
yeah, you are just reinstalling the stock files (stock SPL and radio)
just because the t-mobile sappimg works doesn't mean you made the goldcard right.
the point of the goldcard is to trick the phone into installing a non-stock sappimg, you could take a brand new SD card, put the stock sappimg on it and you would still be able to flash it using vol-down+power
open the goldcard.img in HxD and make sure it contains all the lines (including all of line 170), if it doesn't then you need to start over from the beginning (get cid again, reverse it again, get a new goldcard.img)
If goldcard.img is ok, open the sd card in HxD again and make sure all of the first 170 lines of the sd card match the goldcard.img
also, some SD cards just don't work for making goldcards. I used a lexar 1gb, and kingston 2gb cards are reported to work
I didn't paste over the entire 170 line while making the goldcard. I used the "select" feature and chose 0-170...that could be my mistake. Here we go again!
I actually never got this to work the first time. I was really excited since I heard I would be getting the T-Mobile update soon, but then I read a little further and saw that the 2.1 is not yet included...so, I will be figuring this out today, mark my words!
Wish me luck!
Dane
I had a similar problem and it was the goldcard. Although I had made the goldcard and it worked before, using the same goldcard I get the same error message as you. I made a new goldcard and it worked flawlessly to flash using fastboot. Make sure you are using one of the brands that are know to work.
OK, new problem now. I installed everything and got it all to work. I actually had the stock cm rom working (an out of date version from the unlockr). Well, I tried to update and I started by flashing the 6.35.16.19 radio. Apparently that worked but now nothing else will.
In the HBOOT screen, I see this:

Every time I try and update the Sappimg file, I get stuck at the updating phase of the radio_v2 portion. Please help guys, I don't know enough about this to figure it out and it's really killing me!
I figure I need to get back to the stock radio I started with (3.22 or whatever), but I can't. Even when I try to flash the radio in fastboot, it takes way too long and never finishes.
Your speedy replies are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Got your pm.
Facts: STOP MESSING UP YOUR DEVICE.....
You are working in the blind... mixing bad spl and radio combos.....
So STOP what you doing and read and understand before you continue.
You can't just take any sappimg.zip and apply it... I has complete partitions layout... like the spl, radio, recovery ect...
So if you take whatever you find on the net and apply it, you will **** your device up... just like you did now...
Having the 6.35 radio and a perfected 1.33 spl... Just bad for business!
What is your current status:
Access to adb?
Access to fastboot?
Access to recovery?
Access to rom/system?
Also post fastboot info...
Then we can take it from there :0)
And for gods sake... STOP flashing stuff.
I have access to adb, fastboot, and hboot. No ROM/system or recovery.
Clarification: Since I cannot access the system of the phone, I do NOT have access to ADB. I cannot see the device when I type in 'adb devices' within the AndroidSDK\tools path.
Fastboot info:

the hboot: hboot-1.76.2007.nb0
the recovery: recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
I have since tried to go into one of your other threads and at least match up my SPL/Radio combo. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
OK.... you are now in a god situation...
You have a good combo and eng spl...
We can work with this....
1) boot into fastboot
2)download the fastboot commander (magic).... check my signature
3)start the tool... does it print the device info?
If yes, do this:
Go to the magic 32A tab.
Push "flash old".
IF all successful, then go to "misc" tab and push "reboot device".
When device has rebooted, push "print device info".
Now copy all text and posted here...
IF you get ANY errors... DO NOT REBOOT, DO NOT CLOSE THE TOOL...
Just take the output + the content of the "actual tab" and post here....
Again, IF you get ANY errors... DO NOT REBOOT, DO NOT CLOSE THE TOOL!
If the tool does not print the device info, then post here...

You have S-Off so just lookup on how to use fastboot commands to flash the needed radio, recovery and spl.
I really hope that this isn't a US T-Mobile device.

First combo, we could have helped you out...
But the second combo... ooohhh... bad one...
Perfected spl and wrong radio/spl combo... NOT GOOD!
Try to flash the sappimg.zip that gave you the first spl version (1.33.2010).
If you get that back, then we can work out the rest pretty easy!

Are you trying to intentionally brick your friends phone?

I'm guessing that you didn't do much reading before actually messing with his phone did you?
MyTouch 1.2 (aka Fender, aka LE) w/3.5mm headphone jack
Ultimate Guide: How to root myTouch 1.2/LE Fender (3.5mm jack)
Look, I'm not trying to give anyone a hard time but this is exactly what I was talking about a few days ago.
There is so much confusion over this device! It's not hard! Anyone that thinks that is is should have been around when the device first came out! DAMN THAT WAS ROUGH! But it was a learning experience. And through that learning experience we made apps (Androot) and guides and stickies JUST FOR THIS! Yet... how does this keep happening??? Someone explain it to me... please. I'm desperate to know.
[/RANT]
With that said... you are going to have to use a goldcard now that you have S-ON, still not rooted, no custom recovery, etc. You won't be able to boot the phone up because you are DEFINITLY using the wrong radio. You'll be lucky if you didn't completely brick it already.
Use the links above to create a goldcard. I'll warn you that this can be a pain in the butt ( not to mention that some sdcards are notorious for not working at all for this method!) because it requires getting ANOTHER android phone, putting the sdcard in to get the serial number of the sdcard (unless someone knows another way to get it), entering the code into a website to get the goldcard image e-mailed to you then using a hex editor to copy the bootsectors of that goldcard image enter the code into the hardware of the sdcard via card reader so you can use the freshly made goldcard, then all that's left is dowloading the right sappimg.zip file, placing it on the root of the sdcard and booting into the bootloader. You would flash the goldcard image At that point you will be have the Engineering (S-OFF) SPL again and the CORRECT radio. Once that is done you only need to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (G type, not H)
Then flash the stock SPL back.
Then you will be free to flash a 32B type rom through recovery.
After you have done ALL OF THAT! Your friend might spare your life.
Here... try something like this. Maybe you can find someone to help.

I think you're Hartford area... if not then just adjust if necessary.
Long time since I have been on this forum. Anyway, got a friends 32B mytouch that I have been meessing around with. Had the ginger yoshi rom running for a few days.
I went to update radio and spl today and definately screwed that up. I have no recovery, and can only get into the bootloader screen.
Heres my stuff:
saph PVT 32A Ship S-ON H
Hboot 1.33.0009
cpld-10
radio-6.35.16.19
It is a 32B but now shows 32A. I have tried a couple of the fastboot tools and have not suceeded to flash any other radio, SPL, or any recovery. I have tried flashing the SAPPIMP.NBH OG way of rooting and it never passes the RADIO update.
Thanks
Someone please let me know if they have any advise.
try not to flash the sapping in fastboot and try it from a goldcard in h boot
To make a gold card i understand you need your CID #. How do i get that if my phone wont boot. Can this be done via fastboot?

No, but you can do it from any Android powered phone. However, I'm not sure flashing a sappimg is exactly going to work. This is more mumilover's area, so hopefully he'll check in and can add his thoughts.
Thanks DonJuan. Yea, i have a post into Mumilover. Hopefully he can help.
I'm thinking the fix is going to be somewhere around flashing an engineering SPL and then flashing the correct SPL/radio combo, but even that's going to require a goldcard.
Yeap... goldcard is essential :0)
Any android phone can make it...
Should have just left my phone alone, it was working fine the way it was. Anyway, I flashed a bad SPL/RADIO combo and things just don't work anymore. I can get on Fastboot, but when I try to use it it says "remote not allowed," horrible. So, I can't boot into recovery or regular. I'm stuck with fastboot.
I've read multiple old threads about this, but I don't know if there is any new method to fixing it? Besides getting a new phone?
Hi, I try to help if i can, it will be good if you let members know your phone details like eg. 32A or 32B o fender 1.2, current radio and spl. What you did to flash the radio and spl. Do you have androidsdk on your computer coz you can push thru adb while your phone is in fastboot mode. Can also try searching using the keyword "unbrick" thru the general thread. Hope this helps.
Your not bricked. Need all your information from fastboot.

sounds like your have a Magic 32a. You flashed a perfected SPL of 1.33.0013 which is only for 32b/mytouch 1.2 32a hybrids. This SPL does not have ability for fastboot. You will need to either flash your new SPL via recovery or via Goldcard.
I'm going to try the goldcard method.
Update: How would I get the CID for my phone through Fastboot?
Use a friends phone?

Not a bad idea, does he need to have the same phone?
You can't get the SD card CID from fastboot. Man did you screw up. First and foremost you have a myTouch 1.2 which there is a stickied thread on the first page about. Secondly, you screwed yourself trying to use the sappimg. You had an engineering SPL before so you could have just flashed the correct SPL/radio combo from fastboot and would have been good to go. Now you'll have to make a goldcard and flash a new sappimg that will flash back a 32A SPL thatbis compatible with that radio, and then flash the correct ones. I've only seen that done once by mumilover but he hasn't been around for a while and I don't know when he'll be back. Still go ahead and make the goldcard. You'll need to borrow a working Android phone from someone to do that part.

As you understood, you can not downgrade to stock rom 2.10.531.4 from foreign 3.12.531.1. ROM checks versions and raises error.
The ROM version is in misc.img image. It is too hard to change it while phone is not even booting.
Fastboot with hboot 1.33.0013 does not allow remote commands.
Adb is not working cause it works in normal mode or in custom recovery
T-Mobile did not release RUU-version of FRG83D rom, only OTA.
And it is problem... May be anyone knows more...
Oh well...ima keep trying anything, and everything to get back.
but I figured if i can get a custom recovery on this phone, i could flash a eng spl...but i cant even do that, i guess this phone might as well be fully bricked...
