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....

Let me explain to you the whole story. I obviously know im going to get flamed for this one. I will give you the short short version
I had a rooted MT3G fender with this Rom installed
http:/forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669911
It worked all good until i started messing with stuff. I wanted this rom installed
http:/forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=673394
Since it said 32a and MT3G fender is 32a i assumed that it will install and no problems. So i used the gold card to change radio and spl to the 3.22 series. only to find out that they dont work for my phone. based on this post
"You are now screwed with a downgraded SPL and radio that do not work on this phone YAAAAAAY." -crypysmoker-

http:/forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622530
So now im thinking great i didnt catch that so let me just move back to where i was before. using the last section of that previous thread to install the stock radio and spl. i have done this already and know it works. so i install the stock radio and spl and the custom recovery. Boot up into recovery and restore nandroid. everything is going ok utill.....it locks up in a boot loop. i then boot back up into recovery and erase data. after that i tryed another nandroid restore and to my wonderful surprise i now lost the ability to mount the sdcard. i restarted and tryed many different cards and all failed. I then boot up into hboot restore with the goldcard and it then locks up at system.
Great now im looking for something to fix this whole mess. after that i try to reinstall the original spl and radio. I then have an error "signature verify failed." Now im thinking WTF!!!!!
I then find a thread about the RUU and how to turn off "S-on" if i install this official HTC app. However come to find out its the asia version. WONDERFUL FOR ME!!! I then found the Official T-mobile MT3G RUU, installed it and now i have a fastboot installed with a memchip with a red circle around it, not the 3 skate droids, and cant boot into HBOOT ,with the volume down button. All that i see is "RUU USB." I have adb but now get the error "remote not allowed." it used to be "signature verify failed." i have no recovery, no HBOOT, just fast boot with RUU USB.
How to i fix this mess up and get back to this?

Oh also i cant go and exchange the MT3g fender because im past my 14 days and i already did it on the first day. LOL
I actually am stuck on the same screen with the same phone. I hope someone has been able to get this fixed
Damn, not trying to be mean, but you screwed up a lot.
I have the same version device as you, and I upgraded my radio/SPL. and did a lot of stuff, i semi-bricked it, but i got it working again. I suggest you re-root your whole entire phone. including flashing all the radios, spl,recovery, and etc.
Try following this theunlockr[DOT]com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/
The problem is that the phone is stuck in a bit of an interesting state. You can't flash from an RUU at this point because the engineering SPL used to root the phone is version 2.53.x, while the RUU's ROM is 2.10.x. You also cannot flash any images to the phone because the SPL is locked (S-ON). So the only way to fix the phone at this point would be to somehow get an HTC-signed 2.53+ ROM for the SAPP31000 (mytouch 3g 1.2/fender) or find a way to unlock the SPL. I had a nice chat with some of the Modaco guys and we went through a lot of options with none of them working. The phone's basically in a bit of a chicken vs. egg state. So personally, I will be building a serial cable to manually unlock the SPL so that I can flash images back on manually.
So, while I wish it was as easy as just re-flashing the phone, you can't do that with a locked SPL and no HBOOT mode available. Onward to a serial/TTL cable advendure!
Once I get the parts in to build it, I'll follow up here with my results

ricmiester, as far as I remember CPLD-13 is for MyTouch 3G Fender / LE, which means you flashed the wrong radio and spl. Make a goldcard and use the rooting tutorial at the unlockr (google it) to fix it.
i can put it into fastboot and thats really it.it boots but stays on htc magic and its not letting me go into recovery also when i try and change the radio it doesnt let me

No. Since you were able to flash the wrong sappimg (congrats, by the way), I'm guessing it's working just fine. Follow the rooting tutorial at the unlockr.
ahhah ok ill try it again ill massage back with progress in a minute
ok i put the sappimg on the memory card then fastbooted it when i clicked the trackball it froze on system its stuck unziping
Follow this tutorial by DonJuan692006 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734617 starting with "II. Flash the Sappimg file". Are you sure it froze and it's not just thinking?
ok ill this one if it doesnt work ima go into ustream or something
it freezes on system while unzipping i can go into ustram if you want
What SPL and Radio do you have now? Is it still S-OFF? If so, try only flashing the hboot, radio and recovery - steps 4-7. I honestly have no idea what's going wrong...

Well, the good thing is you still have S-OFF, so try what I said.
my phone died on the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img but got past radio but now s-on is now on
WTF? What do you mean "died"?! Are you at least back to the stock radio and SPL? Does your phone boot into recovery (hold down home and press power) or into normal mode?
If you're back to stock radio and SPL you should now be able to start the tutorial once again and it shouldn't fail on flashing sappimg this time. At least I hope so
Repost your fastboot info.
ok i got the sappimg to work phone didnt boot tho going to continue tutorial
yeeessss i finally got in recovery point me to the best rom and should update spl and radio
also thankyou

Okay, great! Now you should be running your stock SPL and radio (which means S-ON), but you can go into the modded recovery by holding down home and pressing power.
If you still have the 1.33.2010 SPL and 3.22.20 radio you need to flash the stock ones, otherwise no ROM will work!
As for a ROM, I really don't know which one would be best for you, but you can check out the ROM bible at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682243 - last section of the first post is for your phone - MT3G 1.2 / LE Fender.
Glad I could help and welcome to XDA
I know this question has been asked because I have searched through these forums and most of google. I cannot find a straight answer on how to unbrick this phone. I will explain how it happened so maybe somebody will know what to do.
So I rooted the phone fine and downloaded rom manager and flashed clockwork mod recovery. I made a image back up and then proceeded to flash a custom overclock kernel. When the phone rebooted, it just went to the mytouch 3g screen and then sits at a black screen and never loads.
I am able to get into fastboot, but it is COMPLETELY STOCK fastboot. No special spl or whatever. I have tried using fastboot commands on the computer to flash recoveries but still no luck. Any command always ends up with Failed: remote not allowed.
I swear, I have spent the past 4 hours looking for a solution and I have tried everything I've seen on this site and nothing works. I'm hoping someone knows something that I haven't found yet.
My question is, how do I get the stock fastboot to let me flash??
Here is the fastboot menu info..
Sapphire pvt 32a ship s-on
hboot-1.33.0013 (sapp31000)

Thank you sir. Even though I don't know exactly what that is, I will research and figure it out. If I have any issues, I'll be back.
Ok, so for anyone who might find themselves in the same predicament that I was in, here is how to get out..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893004
basically create a gold card, use the appropriate sappimg.img and you will have an unlocked bootloader to flash everything back.
I effed up my mt3g 1.2...
Thinking i was just putting the stock rom back on my mytouch, i accidentally flashed RUU Sapphire T Mobile US 3.12.531.1 FRG83D for 32b on my 32a. semi-bricked i can only goto stock recovery and fastboot no adb, and i cannot FLASH ANYTHING from RUU or fastboot. i have a goldcard but that doesnt help..i dont know what to do now, ive tried everything for 2 days now, no luck...WITH ANYTHING I EITHER GET MAIN VERSION IS OLDER OR WRONG MODEL ID.
in fastboot i see :

MAIN VERSION IS 3.12.531.1
(PLEASE HELP...WILL DONATE TO ANYONE WHO HELPS ME FIX THIS) THANKS ALOT.
As you understood, you can not downgrade to stock rom 2.10.531.4 from foreign 3.12.531.1. ROM checks versions and raises error.
The ROM version is in misc.img image. It is too hard to change it while phone is not even booting.
Fastboot with hboot 1.33.0013 does not allow remote commands.
Adb is not working cause it works in normal mode or in custom recovery
T-Mobile did not release RUU-version of FRG83D rom, only OTA.
And it is problem... May be anyone knows more...
Oh well...ima keep trying anything, and everything to get back.
but I figured if i can get a custom recovery on this phone, i could flash a eng spl...but i cant even do that, i guess this phone might as well be fully bricked...
{P.S}WTF IS UP WITH THIS GOLDCARD.....i went through all the trouble of making it and its useless...
Amon-Ra should come up with a program to fix dis lol

Hey xda crew,
I am pretty sure my Desire Z is up sh*t creek now without a hope. As such I am here with my begging on... Help please!!
Last night I went through the app library and manually updated about 7 apps simultaneously. At some point the phone hung, and wouldn't respond. I pulled the battery and booted it back up, and it simply hung again as soon as it connected to wifi. It ran fine without a data connection however.
So this went on and on. I booted, connected to wifi and tried to kill each download asap before it hung again (can't access the market to kill the d/l w/o connection!). Inevitably it would hang each time and then i'd repeat. Finally though it simply got stuck on the HTC boot screen and never went any further.
I've tried everything googleable so far, but unfortunately no love. Here are my specs:
Desire Z, stock standard, no modding, ever.

I have tried the following to recover the phone:
Leave it loading on HTC screen (30+ mins): Never loads
Factory reset in HBOOT: Hangs
Recovery in HBOOT: Goes to HTC screen, then the green recovery icon, and then blacks out. As soon as the screen goes black it vibrates fiercely 7 times in anger and then dies.
Fastboot w/ RUU_Vision_Gingerbread_S_hTC_Asia_TW_2.42.709.10_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_201045_signed.exe: RUU sees phone but cannot reboot into bootloader, times out.
Flash manually using PC10IMG.zip, (rom.zip) from the RUU above: Initially didn't work due to CID invalid warning in HBOOT, however have made a gold card manually on PC and gotten past that warning. The ROM reads and verifies fully in HBOOT but upon verification just goes back to HBOOT screen without the option to flash.
With the intent to wipe everything: Flash the HBOOT with an engineering version from here: virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html: As per the RUU Rom, HBOOT reads and verifies successfully but never gives the option to flash.
Erase cache from fastboot command line: Hangs
Beyond that I don't know what else to try. I can't use adb as I cannot boot and don't have any custom recovery roms installed that will allow it. Likewise I can't flash with fastboot due to S-ON.
So because warranty ended a month ago, it goes in the bin tomorrow unless someone has an alternative Even if it is a highly dangerous method, I don't really care, it's good as dead anyway...
Interestingly enough it seems there are a few people with the same issue, all posted within about a week of each other. Everyone was doing the same thing... updating a bunch of apps!
Thanks in advance
When I rooted mine, I simply followed the instructions provided over at CyanogenMod ( http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/TMobile_G2:_Firmware_Downgrade_(Gingerbread) ) doing the firmware downgrade and then the rooting exploit, from there I actually upgraded the radio (thread in my signature) and then got the EliteMod rom.

Just not entirely sure how you're going to go bout the fr3vo method without least a stock rom to exploit into.
well jtag... not what you wanted to hear I'm sure
not trying to add insult to injury but next phone make sure you root it right away, chances are this all could have been fixed with the right permissions, short of a hardware failure of course

Thanks for taking the time to help out mate.
As it stands, there is no way to use adb so I can't downgrade as per the directions in the link.
I have since tried several other newer and older roms as well, still the same thing, it unpacks them and verifies and then does nothing.
Quite sure now it is dead, so I have just bought a new one off ebay.
Poor old thing, I did enjoy that phone!

Yes, you are absolutely right... I was thinking the same thing. Thew new one will be rooted the minute it arrives. The good news i suppose is that desire z's are so cheap now that they are discontinued.
I honestly love the functionality, speed etc.. no need to upgrade whatsoever.
Your bootloader is stock and you are S-On why not just use your warranty ?
