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

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

i have a black fender mytouch 3g and i tried to root, i have created the goldcard but im stuck at the SAPPIMG.zip won't flash, i dont know why it never ask me to update, HBOOT did detect and uploading SAPPIMG.zip..but when HBOOT checking the image, suddenly it just go back to HBOOT Screen, no dialog asking me to flash..and there no message at all..
Plz Help me been 2 day doing root mytouch fender but no results at all
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/
Next time, search the forums. This subject has been brought up numerous times. The search function is your friend. Also "google" is a great tool also.
i did exactly same step on unlocker but it still checking sappimg then back to hboot screen never ask for update
You have to leave the goldcard.img on the root of the SD card.
i have tried but also not work
There are a few things that are sketchy with the 1.2 devices and rooting that the unlockr doesnt explain well. I just got around to rooting on 3 days ago and I'll list what I encountered and how i worked around it.
Certain sd cards don't work even if made right. The 8gb that came with the phone worked for me.. When you format the sd card it HAS to be in either and sd adapter or you MyTouch. you can't do it in another phone because it formats it with a certain encoding that makes it not recognized as compatible for a goldcard.
When you get the CID via adb shell it doesnt produce a prefect goldcard.img 100% I had to plug my phone into another usb port and redo the CID processes to get on that worked.
Make sure when you make changes to the SD card in the editor you use the PYSHICAL and NOT LOGICAL when you select which drive to edit (my biggest problem >_<)
If the SAPPIMG file you download is .zip it needs to change to .img and if it comes as .img change it to .zip
that's all i can suggest.. I read the directions... like 20 times and it took me 4 hours before i figured out all the little mistakes that kept it from working.
i dont get that you plus it in other port to get CID and not gonna give you a different CID and how to know that goldcard.img is working 100% thanks
well first of all I know you did this wrong. I know you did this wrong because you have a file called SAPPIMG.zip, you should NOT have this file.
You are supposed to download Amon's perfect SPL and change that to a file called SAPPIMG.img
It is tough to say what else may be a problem until you do that correctly, you are lucky you did not brick your phone.
read carefully:

So i hope this is the right place to ask. I updated the radio to 6.xx and the spl to 1.33.0013 and now i cant boot my custom rom or access the recovery screen, but i can access fastboot. Ive tryed flashing a new radio, recovery etc from the sdk cmd promt and no luck, keeps saying remote: not allow. IS there anything i can do from the fastboot to get my phone back. Sorry if this is realy noobish. Ive searched for 3 days and i've had no luck. PLEASE HELP ME

You are ok untill now..You have not bricked your phone....you can still recover it using fast boot or recovery...
serach for the correct topic on this fourm...you will surely get info
Ive tryed everything in fastboot and i cant get into recovery. If i could i would have fixed it by now
Tried Goldcard method as well?
I cant do a goldcard again. I cant access the operating system. I cant access the recovery screen. Al i can do is access fastboot. And from there i just get remote: not allow when i try to modify things. I just need a BIG reset button on this phone. Im hitting my head so hard against the wall trying to figure this out. I try to read up but everywhere you go its something different and its all soooooooo confusing. No one makes nay sense
If this is a bad place to ask this, please tell me. My head hurts and im very frustrated because i followed someones write up step by step and i got screwed over. I know it can be fixed!
OK dude, just breathe. By looking at your SPL you've got the myTouch 1.2 (the one with the 3.5mm jack) so you've got o use the goldcard method which is done through hboot and fastboot, if you can get one you can get the other. Let me get to a computer and we'll fix your problem. In the mean time post back and let me know your still here.

You need to fastboot an engineering spl first.
I believe 1.33.2010 should do it.
Flash back to the operator's ROM and start all over again; safest approach if you are having a difficult time understanding how to troublshoot your problem.
I try to load a new sippimg.img ( from my understanding that a new spl) And everytime i load it, it says model id wrong and fails to load.
And in fast boot i cant load anything new cause i get the remote: not allow.
How am i suppose to create a gold card another gold card without having access to the phones main operating system?
I just went to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019 and followed that and wasnt able to load the recovery image cause because remote: not allow. So im stuck
Try using this.

I cant create a new gold card, i cant access the phone I created one before but it still gives me a the wrong mode ID code. And i cant do adb because i cant turn on USB debugging since i cant access the phone.
I followed the steps in the link. I loaded the sappimg.img and it loaded it but didnt ask to confirm the install, but it did show a loading bar and when it was completed it never said anything about restarting or anything. It just detected it, loaded it and then nothing. So after that i tryed to load the spl, radio and recovery and it still gave me remote: not allow.
It seems my gold card somehow undid its self. I need to figure out how to make one without being able to access the actual phone options. I realy do appreciate you guys helping!!!! If this gets fixed ill kiss all of you. JK!
How long have you had your phone?
3 days But i didnt buy through t-mobile, so no warranty for me
The only other option I can think of is to see if a friend with the same phone can let you borrow his. Luckily the stuff you need to do isn't phone specific, it's only specific to the SD card, so you can remake it with another phone and then use it to finish your's.
I believe the CID that you get (that ridiculously long number you have to copy) is specific to the SD card. I just swapped the goldcard I made for my phone into my wife's and the CID remained the same. Just not sure if using a different model phone will work.
You don't happen to have the CID still do you?

I still have all the emails for when i originally made a gold card and the goldcard.img.
You can try doing the steps in Hex Editor, where you copy the lines from the goldcard image over to your SD card again. Then try flashing the sappimg again and see what you get.
On it! :cross fingers:
I did all the Hex editor stuff. And i still get Wong model ID when i try to install a new sappimg.img. I tried several times and double checked the hex editor.
Hello all,I have searched and search but to no avail no option have worked for me yet. I need to unbrick my phone,yes I can still get into hboot and fastboot so there is some hope. I have tried multiple times to flash a sappimg to allow me to flash a recovery radio and boot,just none have worked.Even the ones that did appear to work,got stuck at unzipping.
Everytime I would try to flash something through flashboot it will just fail a signature check,and if I try to use fastboot to boot into a recovery,it just hangs till my battery dies out or I pull it out.

To give a basic run down this is what I am experencing
1.Cannot locate a suitable sappimg
2.Fastboot and Hboot are running,but security is on so I can flash another recovery radio or boot.
3. Cannot get into any type of OS
4. Cannot load into a recovery through fastboot
5. SAPPIMG stops a unzipping or fails signing check.
I don't want to beg for help,I am just all out of ideas to try to fix it,have search and such and the last way for me to fix it would be run it over with my car and take it through insurace =(
So if anyone could lend a hand I would much appreciate it.
Fix your goldcard!
You need to remake the goldcard...
You should not get signing errors with a working goldcard.
Easier said then done sadly,I would need to actually get into the OS to do the adb command to get the string of numbers to input into the thing that reverse engineers the number to create a gold card =( Using the goldcard I had when I flash the first time though,I dont suppose anything would change.
have tried to use the sappimg from recovery or fastboot?
You can use it from both... try it out if you have not done it before
ps: try to see whats inside the sappimg.zip you have... if you cannot see inside, you need to rename it sappimg.nbh and not sappimg.zip...
Maybe thats why you are getting unzip/signing errors!
I have tried everything except for renaming the .zip to .nbh, let me give that a roll and post back!
Renaming it with .nbh didnt work,didnt even process it a bit,just straight back to hboot beginning menu
rename it to update.zip do it in recovery!

In the original post I stated I cant even get into recovery =(,not even by loading it with fastboot. The only tools I have right now are hboot and fastboot =(
Serousley contemplating just running it over and going through my insurance,but a $130 deductible is a bit rough.
Any other options available?
i'm uploading my sappimg.nbh which i used to my device.
It's the same fastboot info.
It worked for me in fastboot using a goldcard..,. 100 %
Link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/421772202/SAPPIMG.nbh
Model Version is older Update fail,so I would probably have to remake a goldcard,but cant do that since I cant get into the OS at all =(
Unless there is an external way to do that,anyone have any ideas or am I officially taking the tire to the mytouch
I thought so... non-functional goldcard.
Find someone around you and use his android...
The only solution !
would it have to be the same model as my phone or does it matter? My friend has an evo
Or wait I still have the a goldcard.img on my computer,if its the old one couldnt I just redo the hexedit?
Does not matter... any device will do.
Just make it right... read, read, think, read, think then do :0)
Alright well I had the old goldcard.img in my gmail,so I just downloaded and I hexed it,and to no avail still the same error. Redid the flash twice on 2 different cards.
do you still have the nr you wrote down?
No i dont believe so,maybe its possible to reverse engineer the goldcard image? Or maybe even someone upload thier image if the model of the phone doesnt matter,I can do the hexwork myself.
No go... Its sdcard specific.
So every sdcard has it's own goldcard img
You just need the string/tag nr for the sdcard... use any device to get this...
Then make the goldcard.
If you could find the tag nr you used for the goldcard img in your mail, you could make a new one (the right way) :0)

Maybe someone here could make a goldcard and mail it to you? Or what about all those rooting services on CL? Maybe someone has a goldcard you can use.
Well I have two potential ideas
1. I have the 8g sandisk thats come with the 3.5mm headphone jack mytouch through t-mobile,if someone has something similar maybe I can use thier gold image or
2. I have a Motorola phone,very old,think its a rizir? anyway I had a mini sd port, maybe I could pop it in, find the usb cord for it and get the number I need to make a gold card that way?
Alright heres an update,in case this will help anyone within the future, I just booted into a ubuntu VM I had and ran the command to get the CID for my sd card, so was able to do that and get a new goldcard.img, still doesnt seem to be flashing through sappimg though =(
Maybe it is completly bricked.
I have a basic question,
I'm only asking because there's far too much
information available,
on here
and its not easy to find what best fits my
needs.
I have an unlocked A3335 wildfire ( Telstra NextG network 3g version), I'm using it on optus,
my boyfriend was useing it he dowloaded a
font change app for the phone,
but when he did it my phone went in to
bootloop mode.and keep't bootlooping again
and again
all i get is the start up screen,
with yes you guessed it
(Telstra NextG network 3g crap)
All I want to do is try and get my phone from
this bootloop mode and try and recover...
my phone back to how it was.
Its hard to explain,
ok when i go in to the boot screen
i have this on my phone

dont know why a app would take this out
but this is what happen
So Now when i did the fastboot on my phone
it done nothing,
then did the clear storge.
then i did the recovery
it rebooted to a black screen with A
triangle shape with one of these things
! in the middle of it,
but still stuck
I can follow the regular guides for rooting,
can any one help me to get my phone back to
how it was please
And I really don't care about this part much,
but would be nice to have it off the phone
and remove all the telstra junk and restore
the phone back to how HTC would ship it,
(all the junk apps they include could easily be optionally installed from marketplace if you want their crap...)
(obviously I'm in Australia also)
There are so many ROMS and options available,
including the ones from shipped roms
(it wont let me post the link because I'm new).
I just want my phone back to how i got it,
can any one help me please....
please send me a private messages,
with a step by step guide to do so thanks..
Since you are s-off u can use fastboot flash from windows to flash a clockwork mod recovery. After you do that, every thing will be simple. Just download a rom in zip format,put it to sd go to recovery( just do what you have done to see the triangle in blackscreen. Note that if u flash cwm you will no longer see that triangle). Then use your volume down button to reach install zip from SD card. Hit it with joystick press. Choose zip. Install it. Just do a data- factory resetting before you install zip.
I prefer cyanogen mod 7. U may use latest stable or nightly build. Feel free to post any doubt you have. We are happy to help you.

nope that gold card image will send to ur email..and u need to copy that gold card image to ur sd card...
Well if the hboot is 1.01.0002 with S-OFF then it must be done using xtc clip. So fastboot flashing shouldn't be working. And u don't need a gold card for S-OFF wildfire .
I would just suggest to flash a stock froyo WWE RUU which also removes the carrier bloatware. If ruu proccess gives errors u can copy the romzip from that ruu and use it with pc49img process from hboot menu. And ofcourse fat32 memory card is must for pc49img process

Hey can you explain what happened now? You said that yours is working now before 2 days. ( in second last post). So what happened now? What have you tried with your phone?
And...
So the gold card question, let me explain.
Gold card is just a patch tool, with the help of which you can unlock HTC boot loader , or in detail, you can unlock HTC 's boot loader protection(that's what we call as s-off) , which is commenly locked( that's we call as s-on) , for a user mode phone( a phone that is for sale to normal user), and it is done so because a normal user never need a root permission, over clocking etc. Also user defined kernal,rom,radio updates unless HTC provide them with updates.( and of cource to protect their device and its custom os made by HTC.
So being an s-off device, we can say in simple, unleash the potential of android.( that's what i said, make the device yours and not HTC 's).
And s-off. In can be done using many ways, find them in topic " complete wildfire index " , one of which is using goldcard method. It is also explained in topic/ stickies " downgrade hboot to xxxx". You can download an attached file called buzz downgrade from that topic, and its what you all need.
And about ruu flashing, i think its not a safe one for you, Coz your phone is a3335? Right? If so, original ruu flashing may cause problems with network( called as radio problems), so you can use custom/ safe ruu, instead. Which contains no radio image, check " complete wildfire index" else go for custom os like cm7.
But before all you should mention what you need.
1) r u trying to put custom os, or do you need original os?
2) do you want your phone to be a true android gadget, or just normal phone which is provided by HTC?
3) what kind of user r u? Normal user or a tech junky?
4) r u satisfied with android 2.2 or need 2.3?
Get us the answers, along with your current boot menu( where you find recovery option) details. So that we can help you properly.
That's all dude. Its 2.30 am here in India, so i should wish myself a good night, swtdrmz. Cu ltr.

Oops. Completely missed that point, sorry.
But since the phone is S-OFF one can just flash the system.img and boot.img alone from wwe ruu to remove the carrier bloat and to continue on the HTC stock rom (only if u wish to). Same pc49img process here but with only system.img and boot.img along with android-info.txt .

Have you installed clockwork mod recovery? If not do it first. Use fastboot flash from windows or linux, then download latest cyanogen mod nightly and put it in your sd. Then use install zip option from cwm recovery to install cm7. Done. Its what you want. No radio harm will be done unless you flash a radio using any methods.
All info will be available on thread" complete wild fire index" in this forum. Tools, recovery, how to, rom, and every thing else are available in that thread.

No expert but looks like you have an empty sdcard and system.I think you need to get a rom onto your sdcard (cm7 good choice) and then through recovery apply the rom. Zip and reboot after. DONT DO A WIPE.the telestra screen is just a splash screen which will always load before the system searches for data to load,next would be boot loading screen but yours by the looks and sounds of things does not achieve!! Probably cos its not present due to not having a rom installed.hope I helped if not best of luck. Members are very helpful here and cos you can access hboot I am 99% sure this will be fixed for you.

Download this: http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...5.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe
Enter HBOOT.
Wait until it finishes trying to load a zip file.
Choose FASTBOOT to enter FASTBOOT USB mode.
Run the downloaded file.
It should then install the original HTC rom.
Or maybe try PC49IMG method if you haven't already?
On your PC click start and type in the search box %temp%,
Keep your eye on this folder and doubleclick your ruu, a new folder should appear in temp folder,
Open it and search for rom.zip,
Copy it to your desktop and rename it to PC49IMG.zip then copy to your SD card and boot into hboot, it should find the zip and install.

@scratches post. I couldn't remember the method but that's exactly how I got my ruu to install so I could revolutionize.

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.
