Ok, i have a mytouch 4g that has never been rooted. The problem with the phone is that all of the sudden when i try to turn it on it wont get pass the splash screen. It will just turn off and reboot to the splash screen over and over. Thing is that i can get into Hboot quite easily. I tried to reflash the stock IMAGE file and it does it well without problems. But once its done and i hit power to reboot, the phone just starts to bootloop again doing the exact same thing. I know its kinda odd but i read somewhere that if i can get into Hboot the eMMc is not fried. But then what should be the problem?

Thanks, thats what i thought. Just wanted to ask so if someone have seen this before maybe there was a solution for that. But yeah, something is not right and i also think its a hardware issue.
Same prob here...anything like odin for htc? Engineering mode? I used two diff zip files tha were supposed to be the same recovery/ stock image/zip... think it i15img.zip or something... one does not do anything cept try and parse and restart other goes thru ok ok ok ok ok ok then skips the tp tp writes and says deferred or something but looks to get the job done but nah... what are the tp writes I skips...think they are right before the radio write...arg too tired

HTC's too pro to have odin
the stock image file is named "PD15IMG.zip" and should be flashed in the bootloader.
Same here, this one skip the tp tp saying Bypassed on the second tp but everything seems to run ok. Only thing is that when i hit power after the update it will just start with the bootloop again. Since this is a friend, I dont really know what version it was running. But i do know its never been rooted or anything like that. Its on .86.000 and S-on and everything. Im going to try the gingerbread just for fun and see what happens.
thinking tese are Gingerbread update fails?
Let us know how the gingerbread turns out...Someone must have a recovery zip? Its obvious the two files I am trying to flash named the same thing are not the same thing or one is corrupted....211mb takes an hour on my connection now ANYONE HAVE A RECOVERY ZIP? Is there a program like odin(OK NOW I KNOW TO USE CMD AND ADB) Now I need a mytouch button press sequence to get to ENGINEERING MODE? to write to the frickin thing...I thought HTC was gonna be better than Samsung in this respect...I have one good mytouch4g that I can get the serial using the command 'adb devices' that is once mytouch is booted up...so question is how do i get to engineering mode in my bad my touch(which wont boot) so I can PUSH the file in command line interface.

Turn the phone completely off, and turn it on again using volume down+power buttons. This enters hboot, or bootloader, where you flash the stock PD15IMG.zip file.

Once the phone is in bootloader, connect it to the computer, and you should see "fastboot USB" on the phone. Then open up adb, and type
Code:
fastboot devices
Sent from my HTC Glacier Sense 3.5 using xda premium
EDIT: here, download THIS FILE, rename it to PD15IMG.
then place it in the ROOT of your SDcard (not in any folders)
turn off and reboot the device into bootloader
bootloader should find the file and ask if you want to update
not sure if this is the method you used... tell us how it goes
Hmm Command did not say i had any devices (blank line) but my command line interface is in fastboot / adb(whats the differnce?) seems like it sees it? tell me if Im wrong...

does your device say that it's "fastboot USB" somewhere on it? if it says "HBOOT USB", manually scroll to fastboot and select it.

I tried asking in the Boot Image thread but since that thread was originally posted in January, I dont think anyone even goes in there anymore. OK this is what Ive got.
Im not sure if it was the new radio update or the JF1.5 or 1.51 but ever since Ive upgraded from RC33 the fastboot screen has changed and I havent been able to change my Boot Image.
Instead of just connecting the phone to the computer and pressing back to get fastboot it now give me 4 options instead of just fastboot.Up top it says
FASTBOOT USB (highlighted in red) then
<CAMERA STEP2> HBoot Mode
<SEND> Reset Device
<ACTION> Restart to HBoot
<MENU> Power Down
Is there a new driver i have to download? or is it something else? because when i go to RUN/CMD and I type in the correct commands to change the Boot Image it does nothing it says <waiting for device>
I'm Sorry if this may seem like a dumb Q? but I figured maybe I wasn't the only one having this problem?
sorry I dont really know the answer man, sounds like you are using a new spl or some other bootloader. However, just to let you know, you really needed to post this in the dev section and not the theme section. you probably would get a better response over there.
Stericson
un install your phones drivers in device manager.
unplug your phone,
reboot your computer into safe mode.
plug your phone into usb.
a dialog box will pop up, navigate it to the sdk folder or wherever you have the g1 drivers. install them. wait till it finishes.
then unplug your phone and boot it into fastboot mode. the plug it back in again. and install the same drivers again
unplug your phone and reboot your computer. you should be able to access your phone in fast boot now.
dont push boot images in safe mode, it may be unstable
Thanx guys let me see what i can do
Editk i must have updated to another SPL so i went back to the Original HardSpl and it came back thanx stericson fo the Idea. back to normal
Message to MODS: you can close this if you want I'm sorry for wasting space
Hi,
There is a new driver for the usb connection.
Unzip this file to a folder and plug in your phone don't Mount .
The computer should ask for a driver.
if it doesn't look in control panel, system, usb controllers.
One of the devices will should a problem, update the driver with the files you downloaded and you should be ok.
The computer doesn't recognize the new bootloader until you update the driver.
When you then plug in your phone, it will say fastboot usb.

I have an HTC Hero running Fresh 0.7 with the two-part patch applied. I would like to un-root the phone if at all possible. I have attempted using the RUU utility, but received an error code 170 when I ran it. The error indicates a USB connection issue, but the phone is definitely plugged in and has all drivers installed (I have the SDK and ADB drivers installed).
Can anyone give me a hand restoring my phone? Any help is greatly appreciated.
try booting into fastboot mode (hold vol up and power on) then run the RUU utility. This method has saved me at one point!
saved me too! I got into a pickle when i flashed a cyanogen 6 rom. The rom worked but for some reason my sdcard would not mount, keep getting
E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0
p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
so then i tried fastboot and made sure usb was connected ( fastboot devices )
and still had problems.... fastboot failed, remote: not allow .. so after a couple of days reading forums i tried running my phone in fastboot usb ( made sure was connected through command on pc ) then ran Hero_C_Sprint_2.27.651.5_R_2.1update.exe utility and Bam! Loaded up back into stock. haven't had any problems and my sdcard works again
Fastboot mode has always worked for me. (Volume UP + Power On)
i have a question, i am taking my phone back to sprint today and if i just flash the RUU will it be fine, or will i have to unroot it??

it's right there in the thread you linked to.
1. Simply rename this to HERCIMG.zip and place on the root of your SDCard.
2. Power your phone completely off.
3. Press and Hold VOL DOWN and POWER until your phone boots into HBoot mode.
4. Wait for it to verify the zip, then click <ACTION> (Trackball) to update, or <SEND> (Green Call) to cancel.

If your running Windows 7 and get error 170 just exit out of the program, unplug, plug it in and rerun the program. That's what worked for me.

also open to ideas as to why fast boot only says < waiting for device > now?
no conflicts in dev mgr, have uninstalled and reinstalled the sync and driver..
removed from dev mgr..

official 2.2 rom

can i convert a zip to a pkg and rename it update.pkg?
right now all i have is the pkg option when i hold the vol buttons and power.
i recently flashed to the new update which had fixes and newer baseband etc..
that went fine but the the steve 1.5 came out and i want to switch back.
as stated above thats not possible now since fastboot refuses to see my device.
Can someone put it in a pkg format for me maybe?
I dont like this official release...
its slow..it has lame apps, etc..
lil help?
dont really want to formate my laptop to fix a usb driver issue..
especially when the mass storage and sync work just fine..

there is a way of flashing custom recovery via terminal emulator. DEVICE NEEDS TO BE ROOT'D
save .img on to SDcard and rename to recovery.img
then open terminal emulator and type
su (press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img (press enter)
reboot (press enter)
I had the waiting for device problem. I read a few tips saying to try...
Type "adb devices" to see if its recognised there.
Make sure streak is the only device plugged in usb.
If using a hub try a different slot or direct into pc.
Turn streak off and into fastboot while still connected to pc (after pc loads drivers)
Reboot pc.
I swapped usb soccets and that fixed it for me
Hope one of these tips works for you too.
Thank you. I actually tried all of those things...before i posted.
wondering if maybe the 318 isn't compatible..
it says its in fastboot mode..
everything else works..sync, sd card shows in explorer etc etc..
just no fastboot.
luckily the recovery still allows me to do .pkg but i need zips too
very annoying..
I ordered a M11XR2 and will try with that when it arrives..

NO....
The streak wasn't recognized on the PC in fastboot mode, so I went back to device manager and found the unrecognized android device and set it to use the bootloader driver... The same proceedure as was done the first time the streak was connected to a PC to setup fastboot.
Took almost 30 seconds to fix
as i said though.. i have no conflicts...
I can even remove it from the device mgr...put eh phone in fastboot mode where it is waiting for usb coinnection..plug the phone in.. iot installs the drivers then the phone sees this and shows fast boot...
so you would expect it to work right? wrong... it says waiting for device...
I have tried everything I can think of..
i got a good deal on a new m11xr2 with win 7 so i will have a fresh slate and will see what results i can get.
in the mean time.. how can i convert this steve 1.5.zip to a .pkg?
or even install it with some other sokution or method?
i have it rooted via one click...
i have root explorer...
what now? lol
there has to be a better way..

Its easy to miss bits when its all going wrong so do check the sticky look here first for streak, I had to refer to it a few times. You definitely need clockworkmod or streakmod to flash updates. I believe you can do it via a terminal app with su privileges. There's a thread from a few hrs ago saying. I will find for you if you can't

I know Steve mentions "if you haven't flashed official dell update" blah blah... so im guessing you don't loose performance unless you manually downgrade? Have you seen the thread I mentioned? The OP claims he changed the dell .pkg to .zip and successfully flashed via clockwork..

how does that help me?
when i power up holding the vol up and down buttons i only get the install Update.pkg option and when i choose it it takes me to the blue text screen when i choose to either update via pkg or reboot. its the Android system recovery utility GAUSB1A131800
there is no option or way to get an option to install zip.

it seems like i remember a thread about converting zip to pkg..
I cant seem to find it though..
if you just rename it in root explorer you get a signing validation error when you try to install it..
so I'm still stuck on stock 2.2
The initial thread is irrelevant, Have you not flashed a clockworkmod or streakmod previously? I would guess its possible to store a recovery.img on sd then flash via terminal app, i cant see why not? You could also probably use adb (if you cant connect to that the theres apps to do it wirelessly)
yes, i have flashed many times...
I flashed to 309 recovery in order to install the latest dell Update.pkg which went just fine. then when i went back to flash clockwork i could no longer connect via fastboot.
and thats where im at now..
cannot get fastboot to flash clockwork so i can install zips..
hence im asking for a way to do it without clockwork/fastboot until i get that sorted..

an I still believe the issue is that you do not have the correct bootloader driver installed on your PC as described here:

The issue is your PC, not the Streak (most likely)
Hi,
I mangled my clockwork recovery and stupidly didnt update to a working one. now my G1 is stuck at the boot up screen and i cant do anything. I need to get into recovery to reflash a rom!
what can i do?
Some more infos would be helpful, e.g. phone version, radio, SPL ...
For example if you have an "european" G1, you could do this:
a) If you have a fastboot enabled SPL (e.g. 1.33.2003, 1.33.2005, ...) -> go into fastboot mode, flash recovery, boot into that recovery and flash ROM
b) If you don't have a fastboot enabled SPL, make a Goldcard, flash e.g. orange-xxx.nbh -> now you have a fastboot enabled SPL, flash recovery, radio, SPL as needed, then continue with a)
i have a Uk G1.
I have 1.33.2005.
When I go into fastboot mode but i dont see "flash recovery" anywhere..
Fastboot ist a command you use from you PC while having connected your phone by USB.
In this thread you can have an overview of adb / fastboot / ... and how to set up. If you are on Winxx, probably you would like to have a look at this thread.
Nevertheless if you have set up the fastboot environment, typing
fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>
on your local console window, having <recovery.img> in the current working directory on your PC will flash the recovery image on your phone.
im at work so cant install any of those....theres nothing i can do from my phone direct?
Unfortunately not ... how would you like to do it, when your phone neither boots recovery nor the ROM?
i see your point ! lol
I thought since i can get into the hboot screen (CAMERA and on buttons together) maybe something can be done....but obviously not!

Will not getting past the boot screen hinder any of this process...? especially as i keep seeing "select USB debugging mode" in these guides?
Press back+power to start phone in fastboot mode. Connect it to your PC using USB. (Probably you need to select fastboot on your phone later on, I do not remember at the moment.) After your phone was recognized by your PC (check by typing "fastboot devices") you can flash your recovery again.
There should be not G1 screen visible when starting your phone.

I don't know how it happened (I just wanted to do a reboot in the recovery mode), but now I've got the blue led when normally turn my phone on. I can't even access to the fastboot (blue led too).
The only thing I can do, is boot in the safe mode, by booting my phone (connected to the charger) after removing the battery... I tried "reboot to bootloader", without success...
I think it's because of the recovery, because I had some problems during the installation of my last ROM, a few months ago. So I'd think I must flash a new recovery.
ow can I get out???? ADB? Special "trick"? Factory reset from the ROM? Flashing a new recovery (I don't know how...)?
Thank you, Roumaru
I tried to flash a new recovery with ADB, and then reboot to the bootloader, but it didn't work.... I'm really stuck!
Try RUU method if you are able to acces bootloader mode ,or try to search the forum or look into FAQ,for the answer of your problem.

I can't access to the bootloader... I can just access to the safe mode! It's really strange. I'll search in other forums, but I haven't found any answer yet

Install mumilover's Fastboot Commander. Connect it to your PC with a USB cable, turn it on, and run Fastboot Commander. It will display a bunch of information about your phone that will help us diagnose the problem.
Just cut and paste the info it gives you. If it doesn't work, just tell us what information you see on the phone's screen.
You should see something like:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.0007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-6.35.07.29

Later.
DasBub, he cannot acces bootloader,so he 's not able to see that info

Yes, I understand that he can't get into HBOOT, FASTBOOT, or Recovery using physical buttons. But there are other possibilities we can check. I don't know his skill level, knowledge about the device, or the complete state of his device, so I'm trying to build a clearer picture.
If fastboot reports nothing, what about adb? If adb reports nothing, check device manager to see if it's even noticed by the PC.
When I said "just tell us what information you see on the screen" what I meant was "tell us what the screen is showing, even if it is nothing at all and the blue LED is on". My fault.
I'm curious about the whole "safe mode" business. Is it truly booting into safe mode, where you can see the words "safe mode" on the screen, or is it something else?

I took a look at "fastboot commander", but naturally I need to be in the fastboot to make it work, and I can't access fastboot...
I can NOT boot in HBOOT, FASTBOOT, and Recovery, but when I remove the battery, put it in the phone, plug my charger, and then press the power button, the phone boot normally, except he's in the "safe mode" (can't access some applications, no network). I can control my phone with ADB, but when I tried "adb reboot bootloader", the blue led was here again...
I also tried the RUU method, but the RUU doesn't recognize my phone.
I think it would be good if I could do a "total reset" of my phone, like flashing it or something that can reset the bootloader.
Thank you for your interest
Yeah dude there is fix for you its named JTAG Google it and you will find out what is it.
In my country its cost me 40 Euro to fix i hope in your is cheaper or even better - you can make your own

Could you try something? Make sure your phone is accessible using adb, then do this:
adb -s [serial number for phone, without brackets] reboot oem-78
The serial number can be found using "adb devices".
That should reboot you into RUU mode. If it doesn't work, safe mode should still be accessible.
Please don't post Q&A in the development section.

Doesn't work, the blue led is coming again...
Another idea, except Jtag? Because I don't want to spend money on my Magic, and I don't think I've got the material to do the Jtag...
However, thank you everybody!

Hey, we're not giving up yet
You can access ADB, so it may be possible to push a recovery image onto the device and flash it.
For the original instructions, click this link and focus on Step 9.
Here's a shortened version:
Download roottools and unzip it somewhere on your PC.
With your phone in Safe Mode and connected to your PC, open a command prompt.
If you know which radio you were on (3.X or less, or 6.X), cd to that directory in roottools and push the recovery image.
Example: If you have 6.X, you would
cd c:\roottools\6.35Radio\adb push Recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard
Next:
cd to the "App" directory of roottools, then
adb push flash_image /data/local/tmp
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 777 flash_image (you might have to use /data/local/tmp/flash_image or ./flash_image)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/Recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
If you get through that with no errors, we should be good. If it throws an error at "su" then you should try using SuperOneClick to get temporary root.
If it flashes without errors, you can try "adb reboot recovery" and see what happens.
Resolved
A few days ago, the "safe mode" logo disappeared. Really didn't understand why, but now my problem is solved!
Thank you for all, Roumaru

That's great news! Everything works normally now?
I have heard that a stuck button or trackball is a possible cause. Maybe that was the problem with your phone, but it became unstuck?
Cheers!
