[Q] Bricked MyTouch 1.2... Very Scared...

I have a bricked mytouch 1.2 with RADIO:2.22.23.02
SPL:13.33.0013 i cant access recovery and get bootloops ...i can however access fastboot/hboot... i used the sappimg.zip trick to get back to cupcake..but my phone just wont read it...it says NO IMAGE u
nder SAPPIMG.zip while trying to flash in hboot...any help...a little tight in money cant afford another phone at the moment..thanks..

Make sure that the sappimg isn't sappimg.zip.zip. &o to Control Panel-Folder Options-Uncheck the box that says "Hide known file extensions". If that's good, then format the card and copy the file back over. Make sure you backup your pictures and stuff since the format will erase the card.

If you can access the bootloader then you're not bricked.
Imagine powering on your phone and you can't access the bootloader, recovery and your phone won't even boot at all. That's a real brick.

i had this problem last night trying to install gingerbread from yoshi i`ve flashed phone`s radio and hboot , to those versions that was recommended but after I started rom first time my phone started to restart itself , just like a bootloop , but my luck was that i had goldcard with a saphire.zip on it and it worked perfectly for me.I`ve notice that this SPL is locked and that`s why you can`t access recovery.hope this helps.cheers

use the guide in my sig it will help you

is your problem fixed?

no it did not fix i have been getting by on my old razor i havnt messed with my mytouch in a couple weeks now...never did fix that thing

Try formatting your SD card and then running the sappimg again. Make sure you backup anything you want to keep from your SD card. Format to FAT32 default block size if you do it in Windows.

Im sorry ...I know am extremely inconsistent with my posts ..im sorry... but heres an update...ive got the SAPPIMG on the sd card...it finds it and installs it and everything then when i reboot...BOOM!...Bootloops!

Well...I Guess this problem is completely Unfixable-.-...

I think you need to boot into bootloader AFTER you do the SAPPIMG thing, then install a RUU, and from then you can fix it. No?

Im having the same issue.I got another sappimg.zip other than the one from theunlockr but when I try and flash it, it hangs up on unzipping the system. My computer recognizes the phone but adb will not. Im lost....

RUU?????????????
I was sooo happy when I finally got SAPPIMG.zip to be read by the phone...then I still cant access Recovery...i do not have a gold card ....and i do not know what a RUU is....

I finally got mine up and running with cm. You need to flash Amon RA's recovery...then you will be able to get into recovery. Check out cyanogenmod's wiki. They have a good write up and the links are good.

Ruined my boss's HTC MyTouch 4G

I have an Epic myself and the security of this new HTC phone threw me for a loop. Anyway , I was trying to put CM7 on his phone , starting from stock. I managed to get CWM 3.0.0.5 on it and then flashed the CM7 from here. Now it is stuck on the white Tmobile screen , Ive let it sit therefor an hour and nothing. But the real problem is that I cant find a way to restore to stock and start over. With the Epic we use a windows program called ODIN in case something like this happens. Ive tried using ADB but the phone is showing offline so I cant push any commands to it. Is there an app like ODIN that will let me factory reset this phone and try this again? Thanks
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Sounds like you rooted and flashed CM7 onto it without having s-off. If I'm not mistaking there is another thread similar to this one somewhere. Also you need cclockwork 3.0.0.6 to flash back and fourth from stock and other roms.

you need pd15img.zip on your SD
pd15img.zip reboot into hboot with that file and the part7-0000000000.bin file on your sd and it will load and ask you to push volume up to confirm then wait, it will restore the phone i know i did it, took me 3 damn days to figure out you need that part7.bin file on your sd with that pd15img.zip file...or its a no go, trust me this WILL def work...its a life saver, i did the same thing you did...had clockwork and no s=off...now i successfully restored it and sent it back to tmobile because before i solved it i panic and called for a replacement, told em it wont turn on, they sent the new one, and about 20 mins ago i flashed cm7 after folling this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996 to turn s=off...works great good luck

Where do i get the part7 file and the other one? Thank you

It was creates with you permanent rooted it.. should be on your SD card. In the rooting instructions it tells you to keep that file around.

Just make sure that u dnt keep tryin to flash the rom cause u gonna end up gettin the cant mount cache & data errors,which once that happens nothin can b done with the mt4g.. So if u used the gfree method to root the phone u should have the part7-xxxxxxxx.bin file,stick that to the root of the sd card & put the pd15 file to the root of the sd card,powerdwn or battery pull,reboot into recovery & let the phne do its thing..

I don't think he has that part7-xx......bin file for his mt4g phone since he did not run gfree patch. You can't do stock nandroid restore also because that requires CWM 2.5.1.4 but you can always give it a shot.

Good luck with your boss, hope you don't get fired.

I didn't use the gfree method for getting perm root.
So i never got that part7 file that you speak of....
I have found them online to download but even using someone elses i still doesnt load the .zip from hboot :{

I downloaded the glacier file , like 350 MB or something , renamed it to PD15IMG.ZIP (had to leave the .zip out because windows). Then I found the part7.bin file from another thread. Put both on sd card. Vol down and power, it found the pd15img file and started restoring the image. 15 minutes later the phone boots up just like brand new! Thank you to everybody who helped with this! Sometimes I dont know what i'd do without this place!
P.s.- he still wants gingerbread any suggestions as to best rom?
Thanks again everyone

I think you made a fine choice with CM7. Just make sure you are rooted and have flashed the latest clockworkmod through ROM manager (3.0.2.4 I believe) and it should flash without issue.

Rooting/H-boot

So when I first tried to root my phone and push pdm15.zip I think it was called? (I'm assuming that was the method to downgrade and root? I have bad memory...) It failed while being in H-boot. But if I go into H-boot. It still tries to install the file... how do I keep it from doing that? I don't want it to mess something up if one day it decides to install.

Delete the file named PD15IMG.ZIP from your SD card.

So it "installs" on your phone, but its not on your SD? Then take the battery cover off, push the SD Card button to make it non mounted, then hboot should have no problems.

You're saying HBOOT finds some file that doesn't exist on your SD card.
Well, I say this doesn't happen. If HBOOT finds it - look good for the file and you'll find it too.

Yeah I can't find the file for some reason. When I was trying to root I tried to push thru adb command prompt. It failed so I tried a different method and it worked but H boot keeps looking for it
Sent from my HTC MyTouch 4G using xda premium

Hmm, wait a second. What do you mean by "is still trying to install the file"? When you go to HBOOT, it asks you to "press VolUp for update or VolDown for cancel? Or you just see several green flashing lines "looking for PD....."?
If latter is the case - that's perfectly normal and that's how it should be, you don't need to worry.

Yeah it says looking for PD and fails because it isn't spelled correctly or something. But if that's normal and won't harm anything guess I have resolved my issue. Lol.

[Q] Problem mounting new SD card

RUnning Zips Creamed Glacier 3.11, Clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.0
Trying to mount a brand new micro SD card (16 gb), but when I try to do it in the ICS settings, it never mounts. WHen I try to mount it in Clockworkmod recovery, same error. Any ideas on this for me?

Could be a bad card. Have you tried a different one?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA

Tried it with the original card as well, same issue.

Is there any trash in the slot?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA

Nope, slot is clean.

I'd flash a PD15IMG.zip. It rewrites everything. If its software related that should fix it.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA

Well I'll be a son of a doggone... I was finally able to format the new card on my win PC, and now my phone sees it. Still won't see the original tho.
Brute force and ignorance to the rescue!
THanks for your help!

Tried both RUU 2.2 & 2.3 (one click method)

First
here is my phone info:
speed xe eng s-off
hboot-0.92.2001
pg0610000
radio 1.08.00.0506
eMMC-boot Nov 15 2010
on Android 2.3.7
I tried both RUU 2.2 RUU 2.3, and both window desk top method and fastboot usb, it kept say error 170 usb connection error.
I didn't turn on the usb storage, and unchecked the debugging. There was no option on my phone to set charging only. Do I need to install a driver for the phone? window Window 7 machine.
Please help.

Have you tried the PG06IMG.zip ruu?
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk 2

Not sure about the error but there is a USB driver you need to install for you PC which I had to install before running the root method I used(forgot which, to be honest). Pretty sure it allows you computer to talk to your phone though I could be completely wrong.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427713
Says it's Win 7 compatible and for the Evo Shift but the file name says 32, so if you're running 64, you want to Google search before to make sure it's universal.

i tried to volumn down and power, it said something wrong...., it went too fast I couldn't see it all. It went straight to hboot.
My sd card is formatted to fat32.
I was having trouble with my camera, and is on TeamAndroid AOSP Roms, and partitioned my sdcard (500m out of 16g).
One thing when I partition the sdcard, i didn't make a back up, so I lost everything was on the sd card. so my current sdcard has no recovery.img or anything, other the files the rom created after flashed. No sure it makes any different.
Should do fastboot or recovery now? I'm on Hboot.
Please help.

Is the zip on the root of your sd card? Shouldn't be inside any folders. Also make sure it's named PG06IMG.zip exactly. Once you boots into hboot it should ask if you want to update

thank you and thank you.

I may have missed something but I hope you aren't extracting the actual PG06IMG.zip file. It needs to go onto your sdcard intact.
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium

jsp254 is correct, I hope your not extracting the file. The PG06IMG.zip needs to be run in HBOOT. Like crump said it should be found automatically when you boot into HBOOT. You will be prompted on whether you want to flash the zip or not.

FYI, I had an issue with the 2.3 PG06IMG.zip where it flashed my bootloader to S-ON and refused to downgrade to from 2.77 to 2.76 (2.3.4 PG06IMG.zip)
I had to use the thunderbolt misc.img trick in order trick it to downgrade.
Becareful recommending things like this, guys. We're lucky we have this trick or you could screw a few people over by telling them they can use this .zip to downgrade. [I almost screwed myself over]

Thats kind of a pain.
I used http://goo.im/stock/speedy/ruu/PG06..._1.88_0128_PRL60674_release_196686_signed.zip
However, after it updated to S-ON, it says "Main Version is older! Update fail"
Do I need to use the 2.2 RUU?
EDIT:fastboot getvar version-main
2.77.651.3
Hrm. Did I screw up here?
Can I still use the 2.2 RUU?
Do I need to use the downgrade techniques to get it to downgrade?
EDIT2: I flashed the misc.img in order to trick hboot into installing 2.3.4 stock.
I'm not sure if I was suppose to have to do that.. but whatever, it worked.

Yes ignore all virus warnings. It's funny because after doing a virus scan with avast! on my pc it wanted to delete the visionary app lol. I know it's a malicious app for rooting exploits on android but it shouldn't be warning me about it on my pc lol.

I have Viper on my Laptop. It says a lot of my Android Stuff that I've used a bunch of times is Malicious . It has something to do with the security settins. But I've changed them to the lowest settings, with still the same message. I've also had it delete the Visionary apk. But at this point I just shut it down when I'm doing something I know it will interfere with. Gives me the same messages with RUU's .
