Thank you for responding.
Yes, I can. Here is the info requested.
DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA10000)
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
It does not show the SPL. I had loaded the HardSPL, and I am assuming that it is the current version that is out there.
Go to development section and find ezterry's thread for 14 MB ram new spl/radio and follow the instructions there. Then u will be current. Must have sdk set up
Btw 2005 in your info is spl-hboot same

I will, I do have android sdk setup on my laptop, I think that what you meant. If that is not what you meant, please let me know.
So that will fix my problem I assumed.

That is what I thought, but being new to Android and still learning. I was not quite sure.
That is what I meant. U have the spl u need for fastboot and sdk set up so u are ready. When you're done u will have newest recovery, radio and hboot. As well as 14 MB extra ram which is nice

OK! Found it, downloaded the RA Recovery and the SPL/radio. Still a little confused on the instruction, but I'll look it over again.
What's easier to use for the Backup? Nandroid backups or Titanium backup?
Since I have to backup to restore everything. (I think).
Question, once I update the SPL and radio. Will it resolved my battery drain too?
You cannot make a backup without a recovery img. You have to fastboot flash amonra before u can do that. Titanium is for backing up the apps. Nandroid is for backup of the os as a whole. People's opinion on the battery have varied on anything so that is hard to say.
Are u getting the instructions ok?
Sent from my HTC Magic/Dream using XDA Premium App
I went over the instruction and still not sure what file I need to use.
I downloaded the dream_2708kit.zip and Dream: recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img
But this throw me off.
> Any Kernel installer (Only if you are not using a rom containing a 2708+ kernel) [choose 1]:
ezBiffTestKernel20110222-2708_S.zip (MD5: c6e4b6f34b9f4e5507090b678499198c) /*previously ezBiffTestKernel20101106-2708_S.zip*/
(for source code see this tag .. specifically the 2708+ patch is this: patch, additional details on this set of kernels is here).
ez-nightly236-cm-2708port_S.zip and other CM6.1nightly kernels. (source code and additional information on the CM Forum post)
CM-6.1-final uses the same code as the 271 nightly so install it after installing the rom and before rebooting. Note: if you find more than this line green with that kernel try 251, my 20101106 or pershoots kernels.
The most recent pershoot kernels also support the additional ram.
(Note: Any other 2708 ported kernels, or roms with such a kernel can be used without the above port files)

I am not using ezTerry's ROM at the moment. So, should I download what I quoted above?
Hmm, reading around more and found the instruction in flashing RA Recovery through Terminal on the phone. Can that be done in my case to fix this issue? Just a question.
Yes to just fix recovery. Or fastboot flash it

That I don't really know, I just want the best one possible without the battery drain issue. The one I have (CM 6.0.0 RC1) seem to be running pretty good so far, with some of the bloat apps taken off.
I just want to be able to get into the recovery mode, so I can back up my ROM. Just incase I did something stupid enough, so I can recover back to where I was using the recovery mode. And also, hopefully solved my problem with the battery drain.
What is your recommendation thou on which ROM?

Just want to make sure I am doing it right. All I need to do is open the Terminal on my phone, and run these command line, right?
Once at #
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd sdcard
flash_image recovery recovery.img
cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img
Click to expand...

Never seen u have to type all the mounting lines. On amonra thread I believe it says just the flash command. That's the way I did it.
$su
#flash_image (rest of line)-let it flash
#reboot recovery
Edit: find amonra thread and follow his instructions.

With these commands you are copying the recovery image to the /system partition. On OTA-ROMs there is/was a procedure which was installing the /system/recovery.img to recovery partition every time a phone is booting. I do not expect it's what you want to do
You are already on 1.33.2005 SPL so you can use fastboot to flash your recovery. Type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
from your PCs shell while recovery.img is in your current directory and I suppose you have a set up fastboot on your PC. This is the easiest and most secure way to do it.
Amonra thread here has instructions.

These are completely safe to flash. They don't mess with your bootloader like the OTA or SBF.

So is there any particular benefit to using this instead of the flashable zip beta #4 thing you have in the dev forum?
Why does the brief mobile site say you need CWM? Your instructions just say fastboot. I am relatively new at this so excuse the stupid question if it is one.
So before flashing this we need to unlock bootloader by flashing the pudding unlock sbf. After that can we gain root by using the root.zip found on the other threads by flashing with cwm

So does this work just as well as the other one that was removed because of potentiak damages to peoples phone? I just want to make sure if I use this I have everything working, like the fingerprint reader.
seems good, lets try

The download links for the image pack is below those instructions, because those are for something else. Just use fastboot for these.
Sorry, if I am being a bit thick here.
Having installed this update, one should generally avoid installing future OTA's, correct?

Hi Ken,
Could you please help to clarify:
1- I have already been on 2.3.4, using flashable zip for locked bootloader. Anything different between your rom and the previous flashable zip file ? Is your file is final one ?
2- Noting that using 2.3.4 via flashable zip for locked bootloader, I can not flash back to stock 1.8.3 rom (or I have to use the modded stocked 1.8.3 with unlocked bootloader). Can I flash back the stock 1.8.3 (original one) after using your file ?
Hope your reply soon
Thank you very much,
Quang

If you're on the OTA zip... just stay... you've already got a STOCK ROM.
After inputing the command everything seems to be fine. Upon rebooting the phone said unable to boot starting RSD mode. I am currently flashing to 1.8.3 with rsd lite. Any idea why that happened before I try again?

Tks Ken,
How about the possibility of flash back to 1.8.3 ? Can I back after using your file ? If I can, can I upgrade to your file without hard brick my phone ?
Noting that your file is more completed than flashable ZIP file (more img files)
One more thing, after using your file, can I use OTA when AT&T officially announces the final one ?
Best regards,
Quang

Now you need a PC36IMG of a custom recovery. Flash the recovery by putting the file on the root of your SD card. After that boot into recovery and flash the Rom of your choice. Do not use a ruu. Find the prerooted version and flash it in recovery.

Find the amon_ra 2.3 recovery in the EVO development section. It is in the first post. You need the PC36IMG.zipPut that file on the root of your SD card. Hold power and volume down to get to the bootloader. It will search for that file. It will ask you if you want to apply the update. Press volume up for yes. When it finishes it will ask if you want to reboot. Press volume down for no. Now you are back at the bootloader menu. Select recovery and now you should be in your custom recovery. From here you can flash custom roms.

You are doing something wrong. Make sure you put that file on the root of your sdcard. Meaning not in any folders. It has to be named exactly like this. PC36IMG.zip Sometimes operating systems hide the filetype so if you added .zip to PC36IMG try removing the .zip. Also make sure you only have one PC36IMG on your sdcard at a time.

So this is my old phone and my friend tried to root it about a year ago and now it only gets stuck on the splash screen! I can get into hboot and flash boot mode but that's all I know how to do.
I have a Droid Razr and I've rooted and flashed it so I know about the process' but not for the MyTouch.
I've seen it makes a difference if I'm 32a or 32b so for reference I'm 32b. I'd just like to hopefully get it un-softbricked. And preferably without having to connect to a computer, but if need be I will ( I don't have a USB for this phone, but I can manage the micro-SD with my Razr.
Please help!!!

Well my boy since u said it flashed sucessfully the rest should now be cake.
I'm aasuming u have the android sdk on your computer with fastboot installed?
The next step now is to flash a new recovery which u already downloaded and how u do that is to put that .img file into your android sdk fastboot directory boot your phone into fastboot mode and open a command prompt in your fastboot directory and type these
Fastboot devices (to make sure its connected)
Fastboot flash recovery "name of your file"
If u have a sucess here u have flashed your new recovery and should be able to boot into it.
The next step now is to flash a new radio
AND THE LAST THING TO DO IS FLASH A SPL THAT CAN WORK WITH YOUR PHONE..
Post your info again the updated info.
ALTERNATIVLY TO ALL THAT DOWNLOAD A PROGRAM NAMED FASTBOOT COMMANDER BUT IT NEVER PICKS UP MY PHONE SO I DONT USE IT BUT IT MAKES ALL THAT EASIER...TRY IT

Edit #3: I flashed that CronMod ROM you mentioned and when i boot, it sits on splash for like 10 secs and then reboots and its a continious loop. Im assuming that is probably just a bad flash? Im not used to AmonRa recovery. Is CWM still supported??

Edit #3: I flashed that CronMod ROM you mentioned and when i boot, it sits on splash for like 10 secs and then reboots and its a continious loop. Im assuming that is probably just a bad flash? Im not used to AmonRa recovery. Is CWM still supported??

Is it possible on an unlocked nexus 7 to effectively install a custom ROM from fastboot with the command "fastboot update </path/to/your/RomFile.zip>" without using a custom recovery such as TWRP?

Fastboot is used to flash .img file not .zip

What you can do is fastboot flash system system.img.
system.img can come from a backup, a google stock image or make it yourself
So there is no way to flash an actual zip file via fastboot? I found this article here on xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android

Why would you want to? Flash recovery with fastboot and flash your ROM from there.

I want to be able to format my internal SD from TWRP which would wipe everything off the SD including any zip files then flash the zip from my computer from a command prompt with the tablet booted into the boot loader.

That's quite pointless to format everything... But in this case, you can adb sideload the zip from recovery. No need for the file on the sd card.

Only STOCK factory ROMs are flashable this way...
cf. this line from the flash-all.* script for the full factory image of Jellybean 4.2.2.. for 'grouper'.
Code:
fastboot -w update image-nakasi-jdq39.zip
In image-nakasi-jdq39.zip the following files are found...
boot.img
recovery.img
system.img
userdata.img
----
CUSTOM ROMs, however, can only be flashed via a CUSTOM RECOVERY, such as CWM or TWRP.
And as korockinout13 alludes to, it's a trivial matter to FASTBOOT FLASH a custom recovery... and then flash the ROM of your choice.
If you already have FASTBOOT (and your question suggests that you do)... then what's the problem?
Rgrds,
Ged.
The bootloaders of different Android devices have differing capabilities precisely because they are proprietary. Moreover, it is the bootloader that actually implements the heavy lifting of installs etc - the PC fastboot program does little more than send ASCII commands and push blobs of data across the USB cable.
Some Android devices have had bootloaders that understand how to unpack .zip files that contain other types of archives (.tar files, et cetera) but required that the .zip file is placed onto an external SD card using a standardized name for that device. (When the bootloader starts up, it would look for that file automatically). But this was for signed factory bundles, not for arbitrary aftermarket customization. In any event, this doesn't apply to the N7 afaik.
None of these behaviors are standardized though; each vendor decides how it will interpret and respond to fastboot commands from the PC.
The N7 bootloader clearly understands what a sparse ext4 image file is (for use with system.img and userdata.img files) - if it handled them as a pure binary blob, how would it be possible to use the same userdata.img file with 8Gb, 16Gb, and 32Gb devices? Moreover, the N7's "fastboot format" command clearly is capable of creating ext4 filesystems.
So would it be possible to create "sparse ext4" system.img/userdata.img image files corresponding to a custom ROM that could flashed in exactly the same way as the factory image using fastboot? Yes, absolutely. (I've done just that.)
But this is NOT the same thing as taking a custom ROM .zip file (intended to be processed by a recovery using an "edify" script) and flashing it with fast boot; it ain't that easy.

Better to stick with stock and not attempt to flash custom ROMs if you don't know how to use a custom recovery or toolkit.

Not a big deal. You need to download the factory image for your nexus 7 and find instructions on how to restore with fastboot. That will take you back to factory stock. Or another option is to fastboot flash TWRP custom recovery and use the adb sideload feature within TWRP to flash a custom ROM of your choice. You can find instructions on both of these procedures here at xda or with a simple Google search. Let me know if that works out for you. If you need more help I can give you a hand when I get home from work

Fastboot flash a custom recovery. Then, there are many threads showing how to get the .zip to the device for flashing.

What if you can't enable USB debugging because you accidentally formated /persist and can't get into your system? 16 hours of that arrow turning and nothing...
Can someone help me, I have same problem but i extracted my Zip file and have Boot.img if i flash that will it work again
