[Q] Question concerning unbricking, not sure which path to take? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I believe my phone has been bricked! I am currently stuck at the MyTouch 4g loading screen. I have tried performing a Factory Reset and Recovery from HBOOT, only to be brought to the same loading screen. The phone has been rooted and has S-OFF. I do not have Clockworks Recovery installed for it never went through the any times i tried before the phone became bricked. The phone was working fine until I went to restart it, and it never loaded back up. So i can only access the HBOOT screen. The numerous posts i read i have not come up with anything similar and I would like to know if there is any SPECIFIC procedure i should take if there is any hope left for my phone.
Please note the device was rooted through VISIONARY and GFREE, and was successfully working for a few hours after completion!
***Help would be greatly appreciated!***
ALSO This appears when returning to the boot menu from FASTBOOT, if it helps or may be the problem.

The PD15IMG is the image it's looking for on the SD card.
You may be in luck.
You can download this file [ http://bit.ly/qZb7ZF ].
Load it to the root of your SD card using a SDcard reader, slot on the PC.
Then put the SD card back in your phone and boot in hBoot. It will pick it up and give you and option to update the phone.
You'll want to update it.
If you see an error like "failed-PU" you are truly bricked. If not you should be able to reboot. It will wipe your phone clean though.

I shall give it a try! Just need to find a SD card reader first and i will post the results!

I did read this before posting, for S-OFF users it is mentioned to try factory reset which i did, then the alternative is to use Clockworks recovery mod which i stated i do not have. Also the fact that my device is unable to be detected on the pc still serves as a problem making it unacceptable by adb. To add i tried all alternatives for installing the driver. Regardless thank you for the advice.

That's kind of the reason i posted the method i did.
It should work for you as long as you doing see "failed-PU". And since you will not be replacing the Part7 deal you'll still maintain s-off. So all you'll need to do is reroot via VISIONary and you're in like flin.

Thank you so much neidlinger! Your method was succesful about to run VISIONARY and "be in like a fin"!

MyTouch 3g 1.2 Fastboot issue

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)

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:

RADIO-2.22.23.02

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:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)

RADIO-6.35.16.19
Oct 21 2009,
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
Dane
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 radio used is: Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_6.35.10.18.img
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...

Bricked mytouch 3g possibly!!

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.

Recovery won't work and not reading SD card

Hello!
Yesterday I bought my first android phone, an used HTC Magic. I've decided to root it with Universal Androot method. I've done everything step by step and I though it works.
After that I wanted to see new recovery menu, installed by ROM manager. Suprisingly it wasn't working, all i saw was a quick blink of clockwork menu and then it just started to bootlooping itself.
After a bit of struggle I managed it to start the system, but there's another problem. It's not reading my SD card. I tried it with different, formatted cards but still no good. The only piece of information I can get from my phone that it always says "SD card removed" at the beginning of turning on, even if there's no card inside. Recovery don't work.
Here's my fastboot screen:

Any ideas?

You have allready root i suppose...
then skip step 1-4... start at 0 then jump to 5...
If you have no root, then do every thing..
Problem solved.
I had PerfectSPL, so I've crack it with RUU method and rooted it properly.
Now everything works great.
Thanks for interesting though.

I've gotten my Magic working again, but my SD card is also not being recognized.
I've got what I believe is a good gold card, but I cannot do the RUU method.
Can you let me know what you did to get this to work, or at least to get my SD card functionality back?
Thanks.
Hi,
I am experiencing exactly the same problem as you had described in your original post. I see that you seemed to have fixed your problem, can you direct me to a guide or a how-to on resolving it in the manner that you have done?

First of all, wrong section. Moving to General. Next time your post will be trashed.
Secondly, your not bricked. Please check your definitions.
Third, try flashing the engineering bootloader via goldcard method and then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (Amon_RaG or ClockworkMod for MyTouch/Ion).
Then power off your phone and hold the home button while powering it back on.
You should now have a recovery. From there try flashing the rom again. If it still doesn't appear to be doing anything then do a wipe and reflash.
Thanks for the tips, ill go for that right now.
sorry for the wrong section. Im wouldve put it in the Q&A section if there was one.
EDIT:
The only guide for a goldcard I've found requires a working phone. Mine doesnt work.

Ok Im blind, sorry.
But still have a bricked phone. and if the MT3g section is anything like the HD2 section. the only place to get answers is the DEV section.
Your going to have to find someone with an Android phone (any Android phone will work) to create the goldcard.
No need. If you got adb access you can flash the custom recovery from there (cm 6.1 has the SU and flash_image binaries).
Then simply load the custom recovery and fix your rom/OS (flash a new one or wipe or what ever).
Take a look at my guide (check my signature) and you will find all the steps needed. Just make sure you use G recovery and NOT H.
Good luck hunting!
To add to that, what radio are you using? You only gave us your hboot.

If you put the goldcard in and boot to your bootloader and press the back key it will load your goldcard and flash the engineering spl.

He stated that the rom won't load and he can't load the recovery. His spl is S-ON so from where I sit the goldcard method is his ONLY choice.
If that doesn't work then he's pretty much SOL.

If you have a ****ed spl/radio combo, then all this is for nothing and there are other issues to be fixed first!
Its kinda a difficult situation. I only have adb access for a little while while @ the Cm screen, then it goes away, and Im stuck at the CM screen. I have attemped the goldcard a couple times, but I dont have the correct card, and none of mine seem to work. Wife was shopping, and could only find SanDisk cards, and it didnt work.
Radio is 2.22.23.02
Im gonna attempt anything and everything I can think of to get it to work, but I might have to just run into town and find a damn Kingston card.
SanDisk cards work, got mine sitting in a box in my closet from where I rooted my phone. It may be a procedure that's wrong, not the SD card.
Ok well I managed to get the goldcard made, but when I get into HBOOT, it scans the card and states: no image or wrong image for the sappimg.zip.
file is @ the root of my sdcard, and wont read it, yet when I dont have the goldcard setup, it reads the file just fine. same exact file.

Its not. I've managed to get 2 goldcards succefully made, verified that multiple times, but it just doesnt work. It will not read the file from the SDcard.
I can put the same file on my sdcard from my HD2 and it will read it no problem.
I might play around with it more, but for now, Im calling it a brick.
Just to make sure, have you tried downloading the sappimg file again?

Yea, I've got 3 or 4 different ones on my PC, tried all, none work. It reads the sdcard and just passes it by.
Im really stumped. Followed the goldcard method to a "T" with 4 cards, 2 actually succeed in the proccess, but niether will get the sappimg.zip to read.
After installing the card into the phone and, attempting the Hboot, the HEX gets changed on the card also, just a few values, nothing exteme
IDK if thats normal or what, but it happens.
I don't think it should change anything so that may be your problem. I'm pretty sure I looked at mine after using it and it was the same. Weird.
well last resort, gonna turn my 8gb class 6 sdcard for my HD2 into a goldcard, and check.
after putting the sappimg on the sdcard w/o formating, goldcard or anything, the MT reads the sappimg, and attempts, but gets the error, of course. So im attempting the goldcard right now.
UPDATE:
It worked, got eng SPL on the phone, figured I would just follow CM guide for rooting to verify that it will work. but Im stuck:
# Once it finishes flashing, it should ask you to reboot. Reboot and let it load to the new "htc Magic" boot screen.
# Chances are at this point that the phone will not successfully boot. THIS IS NORMAL. Simply remove and re-insert the battery, as we're not done yet!
# Download the following zip file (the stock myTouch SPL and Radio) and extract it: [1]
# Copy the two files inside the zip to the root of your SD Card
# Take the latest Amon_RA recovery you downloaded earlier and copy it to the root of your SD Card.
# Download terminal emulator from the market and run the following commands:
flash_image flash radio /sdcard/radio.img
flash_image flash hboot /sdcard/hboot_7201A_1.33.0013G_091021.nb0
flash_image flash recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G-cyan.img

Items in red are the issue, if the phone doesnt boot, how am I supposed to get into market?
Done and Done! phone is working again. I guess I should've tried my nice sdcard a while ago, but I didnt want to screw it up.
Oh well. Thanks for all the tips and ideas guys!

[Q] my touch won't boot

hi this is my problem
tmobile mytouch 4g (sorry for the caps, just to write accurate, as it is)
GLACIER PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.89.0006
MICROP-0429
RADIO-26.13.04.19_M
eMMC-boot
Jul 15 2011,16:45:17
it won't boot, only tmobile mytouch 4g logo freezed, if i enter hboot and try to factory reset it freezes, just that, found and tried PD15IMG sd card, with msg too old....
PD15IMG_Glacier_Gingerbread_S_TMOUS_2.19.531.1_Radio_12.58.60.25_26.11.04.03_M_release_200756_signed
and
PD15IMG_Glacier_TMOUS_1.17.531.2_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155771_signed
so is there any stock or newer than 26.13.04.19_M, so i can flash it to stock, or how to downgrade, if there is no root or temp and it doesn't boot, or i have to use jtag?
thank you very much indeed
No root, doesn't boot to the point where you can connect through ADB and temp-root (or ADB turned off), stock, S-ON and on latest OS build already - I'm afraid you have nothing to do.
hi
thank you very much indeed for your attention
i believe that i can conect it as adb if i put it in hboot, but how to temp root if i read, that the version is not rootable only after downgrade, maybe edit to downgrade?
hopefully, im trying to help a friend with this phone, and i dont want to try jtag only as the last option
ADB only works in the OS. Since you can't boot the OS even to initial stages, ADB won't work.
You can connect fastboot in bootloader, not ADB. But fastboot won't allow you anything before you're S-OFF and have engineering bootloader flashed. There is no operation to S-OFF the phone from bootloader, you need OS for that. And again, you don't have OS - you can't boot.
Which leaves you with nothing to do.
well
so it seems that either or i get the newest ruu or zip, with the same or newer rom, or the real chance, is that i should use jtag to fix it, i have 2 samsung ace, 1 hd2, and maybe after those ill try to solder this one to fix the boot, i was hopping to avoid this but not a chance, i have the tools and some experience, so lets do it
but thank you very much indeed for your time and help
I download a file from another site since I'm having the same exact problem. I was using darkside rom perfectly and i left my phone changing the screen that was broken. Then when i pick up my phone today i saw the same thing that you post. As I said, i download a PD15IMG gingerbread and ask me if i want to update and i say yes....but i dont know how long it will take since im doing that right now....and i think it just froze lol....
