Downgrade to 2.2.1 problem - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
I'm having trouble on the final downgrading step. I've followed all other instructions and everything is working great until I try to reboot into the bootloader and downgrade. When I get into the bootloader and press the power button it takes me to the HBOOT screen and freezes. I tried doing the fastboot method also and it transfers the zip, but then is stuck at the "writing 'zip'..."
md5 matches for the PD15IMG.zip
Any ideas?
Also on the HBOOT screen the top 2 line say:
"GLACIER PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.89.0006"

No ideas on this? I also tried it over again using Ubuntu and no luck

i'm having trouble changing the version number =/. sorry to thread jack

S-OFF means your phone was already rooted, and you don't need to do anything. Look in Developers section, find a thread for re-rooting S-OFF device, it contains PD15IMG with only recovery in it. Flash it.

I'm not sure which thread the PD15IMG with recovery is in. Do you know the title or have a link to it?
Also, why would flashing the PD15IMG w/ recovery not make HBOOT freeze like flashing a completely stock PD15IMG does? If it is actually S-OFF shouldn't it accept the stock 2.2.1 PD15IMG anyways?
EDIT: nevermind, I'm guessing I should be using the PD15IMG from this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200147
I tried using one of those and HBOOT still freezes as soon as I get to it

Yes, that's the one.
I don't know why you get the freezing - it shouldn't be freezing anyway, stock or not.

Yeah, I'm at a loss as to what to do now. Everything requires using hboot to flash and that's not working

Use another SD card.
Format it in Windows.
Put recovery PD15IMG.ZIP on it.
Attempt flashing in bootloader.
If it doesn't work:
Extract recovery.img from the PD15IMG.ZIP that you downloaded.
Set up fastboot.
Change your bootloader to fastboot mode (select FASTBOOT with power button).
Verify that you see your phone by running "fastboot devices" from command prompt.
Flash recovery by executing "fastboot flash recovery your_extracted_recovery_image.img".

Tried using another SD card and I finally got it working. I can't believe I didn't think to try that lol. Thank you so much.

[Q] MT3G 1.2 -the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly at startup

Hi,
I have a tmobile mytouch 3g 1.2 (3.5mm jack phone). I tried to root my phone and it failed during the SYSTEM---UnZipping process. (it stuck there forever). I then looked at options of unrooting it. When I apply SAPPIMG.zip it says Main Version Older! Update Fail!
Then I reboot the phone in recovery mode (tried to reset to factory settings and then reboot). The phone gives me the below error upon startup. The only thing i can see is an notification bar.
the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. "FORCE CLOSE"
Please can someone help me how to get my phone working? Appreciate all your help!
If you go to tmobile.com then go to there forum under android development you will see a topic called how to unroot the mytouch. In that topic they have a link for the original sappimg .. download to your zip cars in the root of the card (no folders) then just boot into hboot and apply the sappimg. I have done it many times so I know it works. Then when you go to root your just us the universal androot method. Feel few to pm me i
ent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
Type this in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
Then we can try to see if we can update it.
If not, you can always try to flash RUU.
The system starts, that's a good thing -> you have adb access!
Just don't go around and flash all kind of sapphire.nbh/zip...
Wait intil you have the right info :0)
I have had this problem and solved it. I would either get this acore stopped working error or just a loop in the boot screen. I think what caused this is there is not enough internal room for the ROM and gapps. Make sure you wipe everything. Do you have a nandroid backup? Can you get into recovery? Which recovery do you have installed? Do this, make a goldcard. Use fastboot to reroot the phone because you may have halfway unrooted it and made root useless. Boot into recovery and wipe. Install from sd any MyTouch ROM without Gapps. This should get you into the OS and now you can use other methods of getting your phone back. When I got here I used nandroid backup to get my phone back to a date it was when it worked and have had no problems since.

i did not take any nandroid backup ...i got into revovery boot...but whn i did the wipe clean option and reboot i get this error.
to make a gold card i would need to have the USB debugging enabled right? I am not able to go past the error screen (Home does not work, settings does not work )
and when i run the adb devices command, it does not display my devices. (But i have the number noted down when i tried to root the phone which failed...)
is there any other way to enable the USB Debugging as I am not able to open settings or even see anything on my phone...?
Would there be any option that's something like doing a System Restore to an earlier date on Windows OS on the computer?
please let me know the next steps...appreciate all of your help...
It's driver related.
Fix the drivers and try again to run the commands.

You tried to root with wrong guide.
The sapphire.zip/nbh image you used if for the 32A.
How do i know that ?
Well the main version nr tells me that you have flashed this:

That's why you have troubles!

Yes...
You have the right radio/spl combo. That's good.
The problem is that your main version is set to high.
If you try to flash any RUU for the 1.2 magic, you will get main-version older error...
Even if you use a goldcard.
Do you still have access to adb?
Even for a little... then we can flash a custom recovery and get the system back.
Even if your system don't start up... as long you can boot more then 20 sec and you don't get reboots.
If not, then we have to flash a 32A sappimg.zip using a goldcard.
From there we flash custom recovery. Then eng spl. Then flash system,boot, userdata. Then flash the 1.2 spl... Then we are done :0)
So it's a long one... but first test if we have adb access.
Code:
adb devices

Either a signed rom(hex edited) with image version greater than 3.54 or a way to get adb working or turn s-on to s-off through fastboot would do the trick
Or simply if somebody could tell me how to revive a phone with S-ON with rom version 3.54 using FASTBOOT Thanks
If you are getting an error main version older with goldcard, then it is not a goldcard. If you can get another goldcard, or still have the numbers to get another goldcard image and remake your goldcard it will work. I have been in the same position and remade the goldcard and it worked. I don't know why or if it happens all the time or with just certain brands, the goldcard no longer works after using it. I don't have a Kiingston only a Samsung microSD and have had to remake it twice. I would get the remote:not allow when trying to flash or boot recovery from fastboot, but when I remade my goldcard it worked.

Almost, got access to adb with su priveleges but by mistake flashed wrong flash_image file and ruined it, now my phone is lying with HTC care who are thieves and say the "Phone is EXITING while we are trying to update your software" then they call me and say that that they will have to change my motherboard despite my hardware being completely fine(I think they have taken out all my original parts and initially say my warranty has expired, then do something that makes my phone not even boot and then say i have warranty, just hope they give back my phone soon ) ..
My advice would be to try the below else perform JTAG as HTC care are greedy, unprofessional, illiterate cheats.
Type fastboot oem boot or fastboot boot oem while in fastboot and your phone will boot and keep restarting every 2 min
Good Luck
i see, can you tell me how you got adb access? i just have RUU MODE and when i tried to upload a new flash stuck in SYSTEM - unzipping, my phone it's same version as yours. i'll appreciate any help

[Q] My touch 3g 3.5mm jack fastboot access only can't flash anything...please help

Hi so I've been searching the forum for 2 days and tried i think is everything but still cant make my phone work..it can only access the fastboot mode now and if i turn on the phone i cant pass the "htc magic" splash screen. And yes i have a goldcard and tried to flash the engineering spl 2010 but it stuck at unzipping system part. I cant flash anything and when i input command it appears as
1.if i input "fastboot flash (partition) "xxxx"" it will show the "remote:verify INFOsignature fail" error
2. if i input "fastboot boot "xxxx"" then it will show the "remote: reproduce boot image with on-flash ramdisk error"
3. error with RUU: the RUU has the main version error

So far i think i might need the original RUU of my phone and swap in engineering spl 2010 in the temp. file as soon as it releases it.Then flash it see if that helps. But i cant find any original RUU on the road...
Help me master!
ps: and yea i would be glad to pay 20 usd if anyone help me to get this thing working again. ^^
you could try my posthttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831044
It wont work...
Actually i've tried the 3 official roms via RUU app already and i did get error with RUU as i said so now I just tried the 3 roms from tmobile which means the same as my phone's cid appeared as T-MOBO10 via my goldcard. The 2.10.531.4 and 2.11.531.3 ones failed with it saying" main version is older" and the 1.94.531.1 which extracted as a .nbh file failed at signature checking point. ah...yea, thanks a lot for helping me though.
Type this and post the outcome here:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
From there we can try to determine what to do!
main version
It says version-main: 2.16.707.3.
BTW my phone had stock 1.6
If you are getting main version older error it is possible that your goldcard has become ungolden. Try remaking your goldcard, put sappimg.img(found on the how to root MyTouch 1.2 thread) on the root of it, reboot holding volume down and boot and when in hboot screen hold trackball down until it finds sappimg.img and it shoudl update itself. Then reboot to fastboot and flash radio, hboot and recovery. Then reboot to recovery and flash the rom u want.
The goldcard will not let you update a sappimg.zip which has older system version then what you have now!!!
So it's not a faulty goldcard.
The solution:
There is a special sappimg.zip which has an eng spl and is signed by htc :0)
Luckily you have a system version which is lower :0)
If you flash that sappimg.zip you can then flash what ever you want and get the system back on track.
The zip is for the 32A device... but we just need the eng spl to flash the 1.2 device layout.
You game with that ?
I just helped somebody to regain their device using this approach...
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/
The link above has all what you need.
Follow it to step 10. The rom they use in step 10 is outdated... Use this instead:
Rom: http://khsk.uberitz.net/cm/update-cm-6.0.0-DS-signed.zip
Gapps: http://cyanogenmod-mirror.local.host.name/gapps/gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed.zip
You should be good to go :0)
Remember, if you get problems post here... don't do something stupid and don't work in the dark...
KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING OR ASK FOR HELP :0)
uh...
So I do have questions:
I tried that page b4 and the sappimg.zip in step one does not work with freeze at unzipping system. And the stock spl, radio, &AR recovery simply don't work since they all cannot pass the INFOsignature check.
So should I simply skip to step 10 and flash the special sappimg.zip from you?
And how does that sappimg work with the gapp? I don't know how to use that gapp package...never used it b4. Oh that post mention the use of gapp on step 12...should i do step 10~12 then?
Thanks a million for helping. ^^
Edit: uh... wait a second. do you mean the special sappimg.zip is the sappimg in step1 from that post or is the special sappimg you mean is from your rom link?
continued
well i suppose theres no harm in trying to flash the cm 6.0 update rom via hboot...well the result is the phone back to defualt hboot screen after "checking sappimg.zip". Any suggestion?
Flash the sappimg.zip from the site. It has to work or you have a faulty goldcard.
Redo goldcard and reflash.
The links i provided is only ment to be flashed using custom recovery.
Sent from my SGS-I9000 using XDA App
goldcard
So now suppose i have a faulty goldcard and now i cant access the phone.
Should I format the sd card in windows in fat32 format and then paste my goldcard.img to the reformated sd card again?
PS: I haven't changed anything on my goldcard since the first time i successfully flashed the sappimg.zip the first time. but back then i was stupid and flashed the non-perfect spl one. now i cant flash any sappimg.zip anymore with this same sd card. But now yea i better try to redo it see if that helps.
Thanks.
Check your pm...
I have seen my goldcard change after i use it for some time..
So i have to redo it every time i was gona flash just to make sure!
But you redo yours anyway... it done properly, maybe for the last time :0)

[help needed]HTC magic PVT 32A: wrong radio (3.22.XX) and SPL (1.76.0008)

The whole story is a little bit long.

Here is how it happened. I flashed the radio to 3.22 and run a wrong RUU file (RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.1_test_signed_NoDriver.exe). The problem comes: after unsuccessfully flash the RUU file (as the radio in the RUU is 6.35), the security is turned ON (S-ON). Those RUU files with radio 3.22.XX have different version of SPL from 1.76.XXX. I cannot find a RUU file with SPL 1.76.008 and radio 3.22.XX. Therefore, I cannot use any RUU file to change the situation (I got a goldcard).
The security is turned on and I cannot change the radio, SPL or recovery in fastboot (cannot pass the infoSignature checking).
Now I still can access to fastboot (such as fastboot devices).
I don't know why I cannot use fastboot to boot a recovery (fastboot boot recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img). I was able to send the recovery img to the device. But the booting of recovery takes for ever.
I can only enter fastboot mode now using any combination of buttons.
Please give your comment and help to solve this.
Thank you very much!

Here is the thing you have wrong spl radio combination,you have perfected spl. You can do a fastboot boot xxxxxx.img and enter recovery. Then you must flash eng spl 1.33.2010.And you will be unbricked

Updated: I tried to use sappimg.nbh in fastboot mode. However, it responses that the main version is older. This is because I have run the RUU (RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.1_test_signed_No Driver.exe), whose main version is 3.05 while the sappimg.nbh is older than this number.
Now I can access fastboot and the hboot, but not the recovery. Of course, I cannot boot the android OS either. Is there a method to root just in the fastboot mode? I have the security turned on (S-ON)?
Anyone got suggestion? Thanks!
Can anyone help on this? really get frustrated

You need to create a goldcard www.theunlockr.com at How to's and then use sappimg.nbh
I got gold card already. . Thank you!

I actually had this same issue months ago and nothing worked. Unfortunately I ended up getting another phone.

What a bad news =( I had sent this phone to repair, but all of their experts cannot fix as well.
That's lame.... did you try the unroot process?

You could try unbricking by flashing the Rogers or Brazilian Android 2.1 RUU. The main version is newer and a goldcard should make it work.
Please make sure your battery is full and that you have a PROPER GOLDCARD!!! Otherwise this will most likely fail.
I've uploaded the sappimg to http://www.multiupload.com/WO0S35S53S
Rename it to sappimg.zip, copy it to the root of your SD card and boot into fastboot (vol-down and power). That SHOULD fix your phone. Then again, it could also brick it even worse, but what do you have left to lose?
After loaded sappimg, it checking sappimg, then went back to HBOOT. Nothing happened. I've tried to recreate my gold card, no luck with it =(

[Q] Magic - Fastboot: FAILED (remote: not allowed)

Hi there,
I'd like to update to a newer Android Version. So as I read I have to flash a new recovery first. I tried to create a gold card in order to flash this new recovery but I still get an error when I use fastboot.
I read several tutorials and threads in this forum but i couldn't find the right answer. I hope someone can help me.
Is there a problem with a "ScanDisk" gold card...?
Error in Fastboot (sudo ./fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img):

You said you have a Goldcard already, right?
Also, only do this if your Magic is a 32B. If it's a 32A, you're bricked for life (and I'm not responsible). It says on the fastboot screen which you are.
If it is a 32B, get the first download from the NBH/ZIP section of this thread <a href=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218>here</a> (Make sure to read the warnings at the top) and put it on your normal SD card.
Then, boot into HBOOT mode by either
1. Booting into Fastboot mode and pushing volume down.
2. Booting phone with volume down pressed.
It should find the sappimg after a minute. If not, make sure the sappimg is on the SD card not in any folders and also that it's named SAPPIMG.zip.
Choose yes to all the questions. If it has an error, reboot and try again or try it on a Goldcard.
Now fastboot should work and you can do whatever.

1.33.0013 is perfected SPL, remote commands are disabled in this hboot.
If you have custom recovery (AmonRa or Clockworkmod), then you are lucky.
If not, then you must install official ROM: 3.12.531.1 T-Mobile USA FRG83D
http://www.4shared.com/file/j64ygA9t/RUU_Sapphire_T-Mobile_US_31253.html
After that, you can root phone with SuperOneClick, then install custom recovery, and custom rom (via custom recovery)
I already rooted using superone click but my phone wont boot after I tried to flash a rom how do I get it to boot up and work again I'm freaking out oh an I have clockwork recorvery image that's how I tried to flash the rom but i dont have a goldcard can i still use the same method can u give me a walk through or is there a way using clockwork mod

If you have custom recovery - just flash custom rom via it.
P.s. but choose appropriate rom (with tags 32b)
