First things first do you have custom recovery installed? Cuz if you do not have you must do it, root your phone and and then install custom recovery.
Then download this adnd put on your sd card
reboot to recovery do a nandroid backup
then select install zip and select that file and wait untill it installs and reboots you have eng spl now.
Download then eyegor's radio switcher plug phone (you must have usb debugging enabled) and click flash old.
after that you must download some 2.2.1 nonsense rom and put it on sd card and again flash through recovery.

so i will try this out thanks for helping! also one question
please reply fast because i wanna get 2.2 as soon as posible
if it messes up and like boot loops and all that cause i have a stock rogers 2.1 sense i updated from them and just rooted with custom recovery from mumilovers thread here. Do i just go to reecovery and click recover nandroid?
cause i did my nandroid a few days before just in case ....
also please give me a link to eyegors radio radio switcher
and do i use any cyanogen version like 6.1 on their stable list ?
do they all support the same hboot and radio your telling me to go to...
also by going on a diffrent radio will it mess up like the 3g and the signal or anything to do with calling or data?
Thanks for helping me and I know im asking too much questions but thanks
also do i have to fastboot to change radios?
and to fastboot its volume down + end call right ?

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?
[RANT]
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.

Help With Failed Permaroot

Please, flame me not for I have read and read until I can read no more.
I am just confused and what to make sure I am following the right thread.
My Wife used Visionary r14 for some reason to permaroot her phone and it rebooted and is now stuck on the HTC Boot screen.
I go into Hboot and it shows S-on.
I do a factory reset to no avail.
From my understanding, there is still hope. Please what do I need to do to get her phone back working.
And attempting to flash back says that Main is older.
She is still stock with STOCK RECOVERY, everything.

Anyone? Please, some help. I have been glued to this forum all night.
You need to hex edit the pc10img.zip file. And if you had actually read enough, you would know that visionary bricks phones.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 running Cyanogenmod.
Go to the dev forum. There is a thread there about "how to recover your semi-brick". Follow that and read the steps to get back to stock and flash a stock PC10img.zip
Next time, don't let her run Visionary. Just do rage/gfree method and call it good.

[Q][Solved] MT3G 1.2 Fastboot Only - Help Requested

Well I lost my G2 and was given a semi-bricked MyTouch with headphone jack. The phone only boots to fastboot and here are the specs:

RADIO -2.22.23.02
Fastboot USB is not allowed. I'm having trouble finding a method to allow a recovery flash/root without any other options (especially Recovery/ADB).
I think I've done all the searching a thread reading that I can at this point, hoping someone with some solid knowledge can point me in the correct direction.
Thank you
Flash the stock sappimg. Ill get you a link later
I'll try to do some creative google searches. But I would appreciate a link, in case I can't find it. Thanks for your reply/help!
EDIT: Found stock images here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665814) - attempted to flash in HBOOT (SAPPIMG.ZIP) but was unsuccessful. Am I missing a step? Going to keep looking...
Here's the one I use. I think I got it from that thread.http://db.tt/C81kqrp
When you say it was unsuccessful, what exactly do you mean?

Appreciate the link.
Can you correct me if I am wrong, but I should be able to copy this to the root of any SDcard and hboot it to flash? I haven't had success flashing any sappimg.zip files in hboot at the moment...
I'm sure I'm missing something here...
EDIT: Yep, I formatted my SDcard to Fat32 and tried again. Here we go flashing now. Thanks for your help.

[Q] Is it possible to downgrade 1.33.0014 to 1.33.0013?

Can I downgrade from HBOOT-1.33.0014 to HBOOT-1.33.0013.
After updating hboot through HTC Unlock Bootloader hoping for benefits, now I can't flash some ROMs because not being at least 1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d.
How can I revert to original spl?

Would appreciate any suggestion, thanks.
Solved!
1. Relocked the bootloader in fastboot using: fastboot oem lock.
2. Download misc-edited.img
http://www.4shared.com/file/M7NfPvFO/misc-edited.html
3. Copy misc-edited.img to sdcard
4. With Rom Manager installed type this in a terminal emulator.
# /data/data/com.koushikdutta.rommanager/files/flash_image misc /sdcard/misc-edited.img
5. After that use the stock-sappimg.zip. Rename it to sappimg.zip and copy it to the sdcard.
http://www.4shared.com/zip/CgyRRX4O/stock-sappimg.html
(stock android 1.6 sappimg for the mytouch 3g 3.55mm)
6. Turn off the phone and then press volume down + power button until bootloader shows. It should pick up the sappimg.zip and flash it.
7. Root with UniversalAndroot_1.5.3.apk (disable antivirus before download it)
http://www.4shared.com/android/ay4Js6MY/UniversalAndroot_153.html
8. Install ROM Manager 4.4.0.6 and flash a recovery.
http://www.4shared.com/android/87Z5gzSF/comkoushikduttarommanager.html
9. Reboot the phone.
10. Download radio 2.22.28.25 and flash it through recovery like any zip file.
http://www.4shared.com/zip/jGsW4akC/update_2222825_S.html
11. Reboot the phone.

Thanks, this is a tricky device and I don't have a clear idea in how to accomplish that in a safe environment. Do you think it's worth the chance? What are the practical benefits in doing so? For now I only know one bonus using ENG SPL in this device and that is erasing everything from fastboot (for that I use superwipe) but flashing still not possible, all other good commands are still excluded.
Please, make me wrong and make me a gift with your guidance.

Heh, I was just joking. What you really get with S-OFF and an ENG SPL are more ways to fix things and more ways to break things.
With S-OFF, the phone won't check the signatures of things you flash using HBOOT or fastboot, so you can get the phone to flash something that's been modified... but you can already do that if you have a custom recovery.
With ENG SPL, you can change just about every setting in the phone and access all of the fastboot commands without getting "remote not allow"... But, again, most of the things that you'd want to do (flashing a custom ROM) can be done with the custom recovery.
And, if I remember correctly, if you use an ENG SPL on a myTouch 1.2, you lose half of your available RAM, at least until you go back to a magic SPL.
I suggest making your life easy and not doing any of these things

That's what I thought too, better leave it unTouch. Thanks for your help.
Yes, using anything but 1.33.0013(d) spl and a newer radio will decrease available ram (by 18mb on 32b, and half on 1.2), and will break headphone Jack and other stuff on the 1.2 until you flash back.
Is that my misc-edited btw? just checked md5sums, seems to be. glad to see someone actually made use of it. you now have all the benefits of a goldcard, without going through the complicated process of making one.
Also, roms can probably be easily updated to support 1.33.0014 ), most likely a 1 line edit to the updater-script
Pmerced, could you dump your current misc partition for me? I have never had the opportunity to look at what happened to my edits after an update.

i am using ubuntu 13.4 thanx for help and im so sorry
iam sorry for bad englsh
You can't flash from fastboot on this device unless you have an eng spl.
The normal process of getting a custom rom on the dream/sapphire is first rooting your stock rom, then flashing a recovery from there. Then you update radio/spl as needed and flash a rom.
I have never messed with the 1.33.0014 spl, but from what I've heard, it gives no benefit, just headache.
