after taking my phone from a store that fix cellphones. I took the phone there to change the screen that was cracked and the inside screen that was dead. When I took back my phone and I started the phone, that is the moment I saw that. I was running Dark Side rom. I got a PD15IMG from 4share that I found here in xda forums but when I start doing the updating, it just stays there and do nothing else. Hope someone can help me with this problem.....ohh and before taking the phone there the Ship was S=OFF...I dont know if that have to do something with it.
never seen that hboot

Looks like they changed your motherboard.
The easy way is: go back to the store and ask them either to restore what you were running on the phone, or to bring you to the stock ROM.
Your only chance to do it yourself is to find PD15IMG for the latest stock ROM - including the latest update by T-Mobile that bumps the HBOOT from 0.89.0005 to 0.89.0006 (if it exists at all). The standard 2.2.1 and 2.3.4 PD15IMG files that are the most shared on the forum won't help you.

Thank you for joining, I think you reminded me of what might be the correct answer. 0.89.0006 is the HBOOT that is made by HTCDev unlock.
In this case, OP, what you need to do is the following:
1) Proceed with HTCDev unlock.
2) Once unlocked - flash custom recovery.
3) From custom recovery, in root ADB shell, override the main version on MISC partition (find this part in the downgrading guide).
4) Copy PD15IMG.ZIP with stock 2.2.1 Froyo PD15IMG.ZIP to /sdcard for downgrading.
5) Reboot to FASTBOOT (put attention - NOT to HBOOT! execute "adb reboot bootloader", or choose "reboot to bootloader" option from recovery).
6) Relock HBOOT.
7) Execute "REBOOT BOOTLOADER", proceed with downgrading flash.
8) Boot the phone regularly, it should boot.
9) Root and S-OFF.
10) Do whatever you want.
Sounds odd hope ya did not up date the ring radio is it boot looping or just stuck on mytouch 4g screen? Best bet is to dl a new file n see what happens might be a soft brick good luck

Ok, I was trying to unlock bootloader using Htcdev and everything was ok until i got to the cmd. I type the command and as soon and I hit enter i get this
<bootloader> [ERR] Command error !!!
so...that mean the phone have no fix?
You're writing a wrong command. Most likely making a typo, or not copy-pasting.
That's the thing, i was writing the right thing but nothing happened
Can It be a Hardware problem?
Most likely not. Can't be 100% sure.
I took the phone to a store to see if they can get the phone back to life. They told me that, the phone its done...but I read this article in xda where it says that if you can enter in the bootloader, you still have hope and if you try to upload and update with a PD15IMG and it doesn't say Fail P-U it means the phone can still work...
So i tried everything to recover my phone...but it seems Its just hopeless. I tried by using cmd but its still saying that there is an error in the command. I tried with every possible PD15IMG available out there and still can't get it. BUT I still reading that as long as you can get into HBOOT you still have hope...if there is someone out there that can fix this...or It's just the end of my phone T_T

Exactly what command are you typing(like, how are you typing it, letters/spaces/etc)? Maybe seeing it would help to understand if you're going wrong somewhere...just a thought
I was typing it like this:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
that after typing the: cd /android

you will also need to install correct drivers on your pc, install pdanet on your desktop, that should do it
In order to use fastboot to push any commands the phone must have an ENG. Hboot. When you boot into bootloader what does it say on the top line on the page with the skateboarding andriods on the bottom? If it says VISION PVT SHIP S-ON your pretty much stuck. The phone is a paper weight. HTC is probably the only one who can fix this. It must say VISION PVT ENG S-OFF or at least VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF if there is any chance for fixing it. The only other hopes in fixing it is to flasch the stock PC10IMG to the phone in bootloader but this will only work if the phone did NOT have the OTA 1.22 rom update applyed to it. There is no way to tell this unless you try it out, but if you do have S-OFF do not try this because it will turn S back on and your screwed. If it says S-Off there is a cooked version of the PC10IMG by hot_hands that you can flash that will keep your S-Off and give you root access plus it will flash the ENG Hboot for you, I have a copy of this at home and can post it later for you, if you have S-Off.

Sometimes it hard to fact the facts but I think your phone is beyond help, at least the help offered here in the forum, I think the only thing that will bring you phone back is HTC or JTAG both of which are not available here. Might call HTC and see if they can do anything for you.

For parts? I'm just guessing, $100.00, but you definitely dont want to pass it onto someone else with false hopes of somehow restoring it to working order. Bad Karma.
Are you sure you copied it to the root of your sdcard? With the right file name? It seems as if it isn't picking it up at all.

I just got a new Xperia X10 (yay!) and am happily enjoying a mod on it. Now it's time to send back the old clunky Magic. Head office is going to use it as a spare device and I'd like to restore it to a stock ROM as I'd prefer not to have to answer questions about "what is this crazy things you've downloaded a virus and it's eating the intertubes etc etc.
I've looked around but I can't find much info about restoring it to stock. A few posts talk about either restoring original nandroid backup or flashing a new SPL? Unfortunately I really screwed up my original rooting and flashing processes, and wasn't able to get a nandroid backup of the stock rom, though I did end up getting it working.
And I'm not sure what SPL I need to flash, or other details. I really just want to run the factory reset from this page but it can't detect the phone.
Any advice?
It's a Magic from Rogers (Canada), running CM6.0 with the following information in fastboot:

Don't flash anything....
First, post here the outcome of these commands:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
fastboot getvar cid
Then i will give you the right sappimg.zip to flash...
Again, don't flash anything.. you got eng spl and it a VERY good thing to have until you get the right image files..

Download my fastboot command from my signature.
Also do this:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Then try one of the official RUU.
If it does not work, then i'll have a solution within 5 min...
But give it a try.
No luck with that. I assume I was supposed to run the RUU when the "RUU USB" text was displayed on the phone?
Did you download the fastboot commander?
Download this image:
https://rapidshare.com/files/458228220/2.17.631.2.zip
Use the "Full zip" tab in fastboot commander.
Navigate to where you downloaded the above image and select it.
Then just flash and KEEP patient.
If you want, take a look at the "Actual tab" or look at your device..
Once this has finished, you should have STOCK rom, recovery, radio and spl.
Yes sir, I have it open now... ("magic" version, correct?)

Oh, man, it's all the way back to 1.5. It's like a punch of nostalgia.
I cannot, however, use the RUU flashers from Rogers to update the OS. Not a big deal, actually, since it's now stock and they can worry about updating it, but it would be nice.

I tried the Fastboot Commander method as per mumilover's instructions. Everything worked fine until it was flashing the zip. The bootloader showed that some sections ie. /system didn't flash properly. Now the phone won't even turn on. No bootloader, no recovery, not even Rogers splash screen. Any advice?

I had CyanogenMod 6 which became slow so I tried to reboot in recovery while USB was connected it didnt get into recovery mode and after reboot its stuck on CyanogenMod boot logo. When I try home + power it boots without going into recover mode and gets stuck in boot loop of CyanogenMod screen. I kept it on till the battery drained (almost 8 hrs 2-3 times) so dont think its issue with keeping it on for longer time.
So far I have tried all possible spamming.zip and spamming.nbh none of them work either get wrong model ID or update failed. I am not able to log in through ADB. adb devices doesnt show me any devices. But when i try fastboot devices i see my phone. But i can not push anything it says remote not allowed.
I tried goldcard but I cant get to the system files so cant swap the hex digits to create goldcard. I know someone would have a better idea.
Need some help from the experts .. please. Its been more than 2 weeks trying out all possible solutions but no luck.

Simple.... run these commands to establish your current status.
Based on your answers, i can properly asses your situation.
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
fastboot getvar cid
Maybe we can fix this without the use of goldcard.

You are the man (or Women) it worked smooth I am now back on 2.2 with official t-mobile update. I hope this helps others who are still looking for a solution.
I attempted to root my 2.3.4 phone using visionary. I didn't check the eMMC code before starting. I'm an idiot, I know. Now it freezes on startup and hard reset, without ever turning on. I can get into hboot. Here's what happened:
1) Attempt temp root using visionary
2) Visionary quits before finishing and doesn't restart. Terminal emulator says permission denied when I type su, thus temp root has failed.
3) Phone totally laggy so I restart.
4) Bootflops on round "my" ball screen
5) Attempt hard key reset, freezes on mytouch 4g screen
6) Went to Tmobile store (found I'm no longer in warranty -game on-
7) Attempt to flash 2.3.4 RUU from saranhai's anti-bricked guide
8) Loads the ROM, checks it, goes back to hboot as if nothing happened (I tried 7-8 two times in case of corrupted download)
9) I try to reboot and still hangs on the mytouch screen
10) Attempt to flash the 2.2.1 RUU for kicks. error says Main version is older! Update fail!
11) Decide to connect using super easy 5 min ADB process provided by TrueBlue_Drew [my thought here is that somehow I could push something this way?]
12) Device not shown when i type /adb devices
13) I troubleshoot 12 by switching computers, no go. Then I hook my wife's mytouch up, and voila, I see her device.
My thoughts: I can't check eMMC type because my phone won't turn on.
I can't turn on USB debugging (for ADB connection) because my phone won't turn on. But it should have been on from the original Visionary attempt.
I was running 2.3.4 with new latest software update that had been released in mid December.

2. It sounds like you got unlucky buddy. I have 2 MT4G's with the "bad" chip. Both are rooted. Both are fine. What a drag. You aren't an idiot. Just unlucky.
Edit: Did the rep at T-mobile enter anything into your account info saying your warranty is void? If not, I'd call em and say it crashed is acting crazy. They may send you another.

Sorry I just saw your thread.
I didn't see in your description that you attempted as simple a thing as factory reset your phone. If you did and the phone still didn't boot up - yes, you're out of luck, because you need some basic ADB functionality to allow temp-rooting. If you didn't - well, pity, but you're lucky to only spend $20, so it doesn't matter much.
Just for people who might read it further: you didn't do anything to your eMMC, because you never got to run gfree. If it failed - which is completely unclear, since without factory reset you won't know - it failed with unfortunate timing, but without any connection to your rooting attempt.
The thing that should have been done, is just temp-rooting and reflashing misc partition while having adb shell during bootloop, so you could have downgraded easily - and it would also either solve the bootlooping problem or confirm dead eMMC by showing "Fail-PU".
And factory reset can be done from a stock bootloader.
I had a very similar problem and fixed it
I'm up and running again !! I found a PD15IMG.zip file on the t-mobile support website that worked specifically for the latest 2.32.531.1 update !! After downloading it, renaming it to PD15IMG.zip, copying it to the MicroSD card and booting into HBOOT, it found the file, loaded and checked it and asked me if I wanted to update. Everything is working since. Here is the download link (I've uploaded it to megaupload): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=X1EAIPBJ
This is what happened: I bought two MyTouch 4G's on craigslist from the same seller (a couple) and his phone works fine, only hers was corky, it wouldn't go past the MyTouch 4G screen. Both HBOOT screens are identical too, I checked his software version and it is the latest one (2.32.531.1), so I assume that hers is the same, it also shows the same date, July 15 2011 and the same radio 26.13.04.19_M in HBOOT. After trying both different PD15IMG.zip files (2.3.4 and 2.2.1), I've been getting the "main version is older" errors on both. No Fail-PU though, so that made me hopeful that there was a solution. I'm thinking that she updated to the latest version and somehow it got corrupted, that is why the phone was stuck at the MyTouch 4G loading screen and wouldn't go any further.

Absolutely !! Rooting is the only way to go I LOVE Virtuous Unity 2.39.0 with Beats Audio and the working Genius Button Fix and they are selling like Hotcakes on Craigslist The battery life is about twice as good as with a stock ROM too and it has Sense 3.0 The downgrading to 2.2.1 was actually not that bad, I had done it twice before and I followed the instructions on this thread, it took me about 15 minutes per phone. ADB is not that hard, I was a little bit hesitant at first but if you make sure that you don't have any typos in the commands it's pretty easy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
Well, awesome! Haha.
Glad your enjoying your phone.

Cool man! That sounds EXACTLY like what would have fixed my problem. Glad you were able to figure it out

I'm all woman my friend I don't think there are too many gals out there who are into this kind of technical stuff but I definitely love figuring things out, making things work again and help others. I buy MyTouch 4G's on eBay and Craigslist, I fix them, root them and install a custom ROM and resell them on Craigslist for a nice profit LOL Besides that I'm a computer tech
Ok, i know that i am a little late to the party but if you want to root the Mytouch 4g on gingerbread, there is a massive process....trust me. You have to know how to use ABD and u gain temproot through that, not visionary, which doesn't work on gingerbread. Then you have to change the version value for gingerbread so it think that it is updating to froyo. Then you downgrade and use visionary and gfree. I have a "bad" emmc too phone is still going strong though.
Bring you MT4G to the DARKSIDE.

My bad, WOman!!! That's awesome you are able to get this little side hobby going. If I have questions during root once I get my new phone, I will know who to ask!
So the refurb phone I got from Tmobile had an inferior display and another "bad" emmc. So I called them up and told them the display sucked, and they are sending me another, overnight, for the 5 dollar warranty return fee. The guy said there was no way to make sure that I get a good display, but he seemed to understand the display issue. I'm just hoping for the "good" emmc as well. I'll keep you guys updated
If I were you, I wouldn't worry about the "bad" eMMC. You can read some of my posts to understand, why I'm saying it.
@ PCLiteratesJax
Can you please post the rom you found again or lmk where you found it? Thanks!

I've uploaded it to 4shared, here is the link: http://www.4shared.com/folder/xDsyJF52/_online.html
and here is another link: http://www.filestube.com/daPzJ4uvoe...0-27-26-13-04-19-M-release-227522-signed.html
Don't forget to rename it to PD15IMG.zip before you copy it to the SD Card
No Luck
Thank PCLiteratesJax for uploading the files.
However, it did not work. I downloaded the file, changed the name to PD15IMG.zip (I tried both files). When installing, they both bypassed [8] TP, but each reported that the installation was sucessfull and indicated that I should press the power button. After pressing the power button, I am taken to a screen like this:
GLACIER PVT SHIP S-ON

MICROP-0429

FASTBOOT
and then a few other options.
Any ideas?
Tried gingerbreak?

Hi!, I've a not rooted HTC Desire Z.
After being very slow for some day today the device stay on the white screen with HTC for hours.
I've then tried to factory reset the device but when i select factory reset it stay stuck on the menu voice and i've to reboot removing the battery.
If i choose recovery it shows a green circle and an arrow in the center.
I've searched a bit on the forum but who has the same problem has not my model of phone and who has the same model has already unlocked the bootloder.. so... could anyone show me the right image/process to take to unlock/format the phone?
Put the og pc10 image for your phone and flash through flashboot. Start over. You're hanging cause your not rooted

Uhh uhh uhh... until someone like niqper (or however you spell his name) comes in here and tells you to flash that PC10IMG, do NOT flash it, I'm not saying it will break your phone but considering you aren't rooted I'm thinking it's not at all necessary and I don't know the consequences.. So wait, can you access the bootloader by holding down + vol ? What happens exactly?

Hi! and thank you for your interess:
The phone is unbranded and not rooted.
It's impossible to boot normally
And selecting the recovery or the factory reset just freeze on the bootloader screen.
I've tried putting the PC10IMG.zip that I've found on the web but seems that I need a later version because all the version I've used are too old.
Code:
VISION PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.85.0013
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.10.04.03_M

Here is the RUU for your phone RUU_Vision_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.42.405.2_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_199043_signed.exe
You can try just running the exe, or extracting the zip from it (run it, until it loads (says press next or whatever) and go to the %temp% dir in windows, and do a search for rom.zip, should be roughly 250mb)
It will be safe to flash, but will wipe all your data.
I do have a suspicion that you have a fried emmc chip, you seem to have some of the symptoms, so if it hangs during the flash that will be why, in which case you can't fix it and will need to get a replacement.

Thank you, I've extracted the rom.zip and uploaded it on the SD.
The process starts updating but hangs on the first step (updating bootloader).
I think that you are right the emmc is gone...

That's a real shame time to upgrade to SGS3 or One X ? I think sooo! I'm so glad we have a resident expert like niqper to help us out with general technical stuff though so when I make the change I'll definitely miss that !

Its an HTC G2 but has the same problem with being stuck on the HTC screen
Is there an ruu for my phone? I tried the one above and it started fine, updated the first 2 then reset then when it reloaded it says "model ID incorrect"
You shouldn't of flashed that rom, thats for a DZ, not a G2.
You must've had fake S-OFF too.
You can try flashing this rom PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_2.15.531.3_Radio_12.52.60.25U_26.08.04.30_M3.zip
You better hope your main version is low enough to accept it though.
And that the DZ hboot accepts it (chances are it'll throw some sort of heap error)
You might be able to use a goldcard (which you need a functioning android phone to create) to allow the DZ stock rom to flash, though I can't guarantee anything.
Your phone not booting would be because the g2 hboot and dz hboot have their partition layout quite different, so its looking in the wrong place to try load android now.
