orignialy i was using mytouch 3g running 1.6 then i did the one click rooting steps and works fine now im here...please help...thanks!!!

You should be able to download the ROM you want to use (make sure its compatible with your phone), copy the file (will be a .zip) to your SD card, go into recovery (home+power), select update from .zip, and then select the file from your SD card. Some of the older recoveries require that you rename the .zip file to update.zip before you can flash it.

Are you asking how do you run the rom??? Or are you asking how you update to a newer rom??? I'm really confused...

I'm confused as well. I suggest a nandroid backup before u do anything. Perhaps a backup phone

what im asking is well when i did the one click root program it rooted my phone and then i installed the clockword rom manager with recovery now thats all i did to it no updated for spl or anything...do you guys think i should do something else before i update this to the cyanogen rom froyo rom?? or just wipe and backup and flash??

Suggest amonra new recovery first off. There is a new radio 2.22.23.02 if its compatible with your spl. Then nandroid backup always. Then flash new Rom

Easy with flashing the radio, you could brick your phone that way. You shouldn't need to do anything but flash the ROM, unless you've got a board requiring the EBI1 kernel which should be available with the CM ROM. Go into fastboot using (power+back) and post that information here.

[Q] Can't unroot, "Main version is older"

I'm trying to unroot my phone so I can send it back in for a replacement but whenever I try to flash the PD15IMG in the bootloader it says the "Main version is older" and the update fails. I used the PD15IMG from the unlockr, but I guess I guess I need an updated one? Anyone know how I can fix this?
EDIT:
I ended up figuring everything out. Here's the thread I made that explains everything.

Tmobile doesnt look to see If your phone is rooted or Not. There only interested in the physical aspect of the device.

you should have reverted back to the stock radio before flashing the stock PD15IMG...you could try flashing the newest updated RUU and then downgrade back to 2.2

alright so i tried flashing the stock radio, but now the bootloader says i have s-on? does this mean i'm not rooted anymore, even though i'm running a custom rom?

I ran into the same problem as youre having when I tried to revert back to stock. flashed the stock PD15IMG in hboot, but was on an updated radio. you still have root access even tho it says s=on, but you can ONLY use the rom you were currently using when trying to go back to stock. (ex- if you were on Virtuous Unity v2.39 then you could only flash and use that rom) theres a thread that goes more into detail, heres the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092170 make sure you read the entire thread carefully
from what I understand, youll have to flash an updated RUU to fix the issue

Thanks for the link man, I should've searched before I posted. I read through the whole thing, and I'm still not sure what to do.. just a thought, but would this basically be like trying to root from the official 2.3.4 OTA?
And if there's an RUU for the GB OTA would that work in HBOOT, since it has the updated radio?

same thing happened to me, i have a glacier. (mytouch 4g) would appreciate any help. I was actually trying to restore to stock, unroot, and now i am s-on rooted

I got my problem resolved. If anyone has the same problem I made a thread about how to fix it.

Can you please explain your problem in detail ? Is the phone not even booting at all ?

hello, my phone is unlocked with the htc dev and then routed to the unlockroot. By applying rom manager on the phone can access the download roms, but when I ask to install a phone number appears on screen with a red light.
Phone Information:

Do I have to downgrade the Hboot, or switch to S-off?

because the recovery on your phone only allow install update by official OTA/rom.if
you want to install unofficial rom,first install unofficial recovery，and then install unofficial rom.

Touchscreen not working after aospx update!!!

Hey guys,
I updated my Desire HD to aospx BR7 but upon rebooting the touchscreen is not responding at all. I have tried rebooting the phone multiple times and have taken the battery out but its not working I have a nandroid backup for the BR6 but I have touch recovery so I cannot access that either. Is there a way to access that nandroid backup or flash a different rom without the recovery? I would really appreciate any help
Cheers
EDIT: I was able to use fastboot to flash the CWM recovery but upon restoring my aospx BR6 nandroid backup, the touchscreen is still not responsive. I tried a fresh install as well but its still not working. Any ideas?? Cheers

1:Reboot into bootloader
2:Connect your phone to your pc
3:select fastboot
4:run a RUU for your phone
See if this helps.

Thanks for the reply mate. I found this RUU ROM from the Desire hd development list....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382235
Is that ok to flash? Also the poster is giving instructions on flashing it through the recovery but how would I go about flashing it through fastboot? Like I know when flashing radio you just write fastboot flash radio radio.img. Are there multiple disc images that I have to flash?
Cheers

Go into fastboot and run this RUU from your computer:

Thanks for the tip Muikuman. I was able to successfully go through the steps but the touchscreen is still not responsive. I have lost the CWM recovery as well which I expected (I can just flash recovery though fastboot again right?) Any other possible solutions?? cheers

Hmm =\ yes you can flash the recovery from fastboot. But this seems to be a hardware issue. It's not responding at all?

yea not responding at all mate. Yea might be hardware issue but the problem came up as soon as the ROM was flashed so I was thinking it might be like a touch driver or something. I tried flashing recovery but I get this
writing 'recovery'....FAILED <remote:not allowed>
If i cant sort this out in the next week....I might as well send it for repair and hope that the service guys dont discover that the phone is rooted and I have voided the warranty. Appreciate your help Muikkuman :good:

Hehe no problem my friend. You are unrooted after the RUU only S-OFF so I don't think they notice. And you should got the right drivers with the ruu so...

Guess what....I tried a vodafone uk RUU...thinking that it might have the vodafone splashscreen at boot up so repair guys dont suspect anything weird. When i flashed it the touchscreen magically started working :laugh: Now in order to root, recovery and ENG S-off.....I know there is like the ace hack kit. While reading the instructions, it said that I shouldnt use the tool if I have S-off and i do. Should i bite the bullet and give it a shot?
Here is the info for the phone
Android version: 2.2
Software number: 1.32.405.3
baseband version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.15_M3
In the bootloader it says: Ace pvt ship S-off
hboot- 0.85.007

Nope.
Check if you have a recovery. If not just flash one. I believe, not sure, that the hack kit will give you those options in the event you don't have a recocery.

Flash 4EXT recovery and root the device.

Check to see what are the other options for the hack kit. I can't remember if it has one if you are already s-off. But do not run it again since you are already rooted, if you do it will mess things up.
I'll try to do a search in a few hours on how to fix your issue, if I don't fall asleep first. I can't remember the solution off the top of my head.

2. then I tried to use aahk to unlock it but failed.
I used a lower version RUU,but this one is not download from htc offical site directly. then I can unlock my phone using aahk.

I'm not sure the vibration begin from the unlocking or flashing.
I tried to using the RUU and Roms which haven't the vibration issue to flash my phone again. but can not solve the vibration problem.
I guess this issue caused by some softeware version not match. Is there some way I can clear my phone completly?
How can I check the exactly version of my hardware and to find the right version of hboot,radio and so on?

ok, I guess the RUU you flashed is the froyo one. Was your Inspire shipped with Gingerbread? And why on earth are you willing to run the Hack Kit if you are already S-OFF??

When I got my inspre 4g, it's already been unlocked and install Gingerbread. but reboot frenquently.
I use hack kit because it was locked after flashed some rom by myself. so I have to unlock it again.
Do you mean hack kit is for modify S-ON to S-OFF?
I supposed RUU can overwrite every thing on my phone. I could unlock and flash rom from very begining. but after I installed the RUU, my phone is still ship s-off.

Could you please suggest which program is running when I start recovery?
My phone don't vibrate when it's in fastboot model but in recovery. Is this helpful to locate the root cause of this issue? Thanks a lot!

vibrate issue is solved by
1. fastboot oem lock.
2. flash the RUU again.
