[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
1) currently running Evil D's mTGB v1.0 rom with Faux's 0.0.7 CFS LV leak kernel. tried rooting with visionary and terminal first, no success. I then tried out the gfree method, and got "Attempting to power cycle eMMC...failed. Module failed to load: No such file or directory."

2) I installed Visionary using Astro file manager, then run Visionary. I click on "temproot now" and it starts, but then the screen goes black and doesnt do anything. I have let it sit on the black screen for well over 15mins before with no luck. I can click on "attempt to permroot" and it will ask for permissions and reboot and everything. my s=on but I still have root access and 0.86.000 bootloader. this is what I see using terminal before rebooting to see if s=off
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PermROOT:
Did you do the Radio S=OFF using gfree? If so that would explain why you still have root as security is disabled on the device totally. If thats the case then just push the eng bootloader manually via adb or though terminal and reboot. For now XxKOLOHExX is locked lets see what I find ill post back for him.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
thanks for taking the time to help out, Ill give it a shot

*edit* just tried pushing the eng bootloader through adb and it didnt stick or flash, rebooted into hboot and it still says 0.86.0000, s=on, 26.08.04.30_M3 radio
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PermROOT:
I am not sure how you tried it but here do this.

1) Download the "hboot_dhd.zip" I provided below and extract the "hboot_dhd.nb0" from it and put it in root of your SDCard:

/mnt/sdcard/hboot_dhd.nb0

2) Open terminal and do SU and then type in CMD:

"dd if=/sdcard/hboot_dhd.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18"

3) Exit and reboot.

If you still have root it would give you R/W access thus the file would stick. If not post back here.

1.) I currently have MIUI installed [ROM][5.20.2011] MIUI 1.5.20 demonSPEED v1 w/Complete EXT4 just that rom, no changes

2.)When I try to reroot it all goes fine till the end when you have to use the terminal to run the root.sh file. It runs it but the bootloader stays the same
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PermROOT:
Try to push this though adb and run it.

1) Download the eng_hboot.zip from below and extract it to your adb folder.

2) adb push wpx.ko /data/local/wpx.ko [hit enter]

3) adb push hboot_dhd.nb0 /data/local [hit enter]

4) adb shell [hit enter]

5) insmod /data/local/wpx.ko [hit enter]

6) dd if=/data/local/hboot_dhd.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 [hit enter]

7) Sync [hit enter]

8) Reboot in bootloader and check.

EDIT: You also can directly dl the files to your SDCard and drop them both in "/data/local" or extract it in the root of your SDCard and run it from there or do it via terminal. I say do it via adb since one of you have security on another have it off.

For you I am not surprised as you have total security flag was allocated on eng_hboot. So for you to work it has to able to disable write protection on emmc first and to do that you need to allow R/W to it by using VISIONary+ only up to TempROOT. Once that is done then you can do it.

So you telling me when you run VISIONary+ and select Temp Root after reboot and check System R/W after root then by hitting TempRoot Now it freeze? See what happens by doing it and don't reboot.

I did that but it's not working, I am rooted, I used the app like this

I saw someone above mention that gfree requires the stock kernel to do what it does, and without it, your eMMC is failing to power cycle using gfree. If you're rooted, do you either have ClockworkMod installed, or are capable of installing it? Or does having a custom recovery require S-Off? I'm guessing it does require S-OFF, but if you had ClockworkMod installed prior to having it switched back to S-ON, perhaps it'd still be there?

If you have a custom recovery, could you flash either a stock ROM floating around on the forums or use a stock nandroid and then use gfree?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
the first way I tried it, I used grankins method in the ultimate s=off guide to manually push the bootloader and it didnt work. I just now tried the steps you gave me but it still didnt stick. it just puzzles me how I have root access and different radio but have stock hboot and s=on:confused:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
yes I do have clockwork and rom manager installed, and Im able to flash through there with no problems. I actually havent tried flashing a stock nandroid and getting the stock kernel, Ill give that a shot and see what happens
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PermROOT:
crawler9 correct during my gfree fiasco I discovered you needed to be on stock rom and kernel for it to work or you would get eMMc fail no file found. The script didn't fully execute on anything behind stock during my testing. It created a lot of dummy empty part7backup-xxxxxxxxx.bin files and CID flag still remained CID-T-MOB010 when it should have been CID-11111111. Far as your question goes yes they can but it depends on the persons understanding as clarknick27 still has security off but stock bootloader where XxKOLOHExX has security on completely do to him being dependent on eng hboot.

clarknick27 on CWMR do nandroid backup and flash a good backup of post stock rom. See if you can use gfee on it which should work if not ill provide you with a complete image which is direct nandroid dump I used few hours ago from pd15img.zip (stock rom/radio) after you folks ran in to the issue while I was testing and did gfree on top of it without problem. You are better of as you already have true radio unlock thus your security is not bootloader dependent. So all you need to do is revert back.

Far as XxKOLOHExX goes I was trying to see if he can still use it as it seem write protection on emmc just does not get R/W access so he can't apply the bootloader for it to stick. His need little more work I have to see.

I have a stock nandroid posted here and the post-OTA PD15IMG posted here. the thing is, when I try to flash the stock nandroid with rom manager, it wont work as I need the 2.5.1.2 recovery to flash the nandroid. I have tried numerous times to get rom manager to work but no luck. is there any way that I can flash the stock nandroid with terminal or adb?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PermROOT:
You don't need CWMR 2.5.1.2 as you have 3.0.2.4 as starting after 3.0.0.6 all CWMR is backward compatible. So download the nandroid backup and extract it don't flash it. You only flash rom that is supported with nandroid backup just extract it and put it in your SDCard.

Example: \SDCard\clockworkmod\backup\Stock-Nandroid

So inside you will find system.img, data.img, boot.img, cache.img, ect. All you need to do is then go from CWMR and select restore and it should restore it with no problem. Just give it some time as its clean stock rom might take few min so don't turn it off thinking stuck on logo.

Post back if you still run in to issue ill tell ya howto replace recovery.img via adb/terminal. But you won't need CWMR 2.5.1.2 as I did it on 3.0.2.4 without any problem backed it up and even tested it few min ago before I put CM7NB85.

*edit* I restored the stock nandroid, but it seems that the kernel from Evil D's mTGB v1.0 is still applied in the nandroid. any way that I can get the stock kernel? and I still get the "eMMC fail no file found" using gfree on the stock nandroid, wonder if its because I dont have the stock kernel:confused:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PermROOT:
I had a feeling those backups were useless, freaking amatures... As I said if it didn't work Ill provide a "REAL" clean stock nandroid backup. As of now due to me getting new MT4G for testing this backup is what I use as my base so its always upto date. Its very clean stripped down so you can't do anything else other than root as its pre-ready to go so pick which you like gfree or VISIONary+.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PermROOT:
Hex edit is easy. BTW I was not even aware of that thread as it was before my time owning MT4G. But since you don't have true root this might work for you to bypass it to flash. Far as the 1.17.531.2 goes you won't find it as it was the old stock ver which is what you should change the flag to for stock PD15IMG. I just did a mmcblk0p17.img dump and found 2.09.1800.1 which is what you should have since you using same RadioROM as I am. So change 2.09.1800.1 to 1.17.531.2 and save it. Then using dd do the raw dump back on /dev/block/mmcblk0p17 and use the PD15IMG. I just did it few mins ago and it worked and I tested it on full Panache leak rom/radio. By now both of your issues should be fixed, if not post back. We will work it out lol.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
thanks bro, you have been a huge help in trying to figure out these problems. reps to you! downloading the nandroid right now, will post back with results

*edit* downloaded and restored the nandroid you provided and proceeded with the gfree method. it seems as Evil D's kernel is still applied and I still get the "eMMC fail no file found". I did a full wipe before restoring also

PermRoot-

Before I ask my question, I've seen you as BkUp or whatnot, and your other previous spats with the mods, but all I can say is that I appreciate people who know what they are doing at the detail level, and only say what they know to be true, and that seems to be you. So I for one look for the 'devil' when I want a straight answer on a confusing question.

Ok, on your previous post of the clean nandroid. I don't currently exhibit a problem yet with my 'bad' emmc, (no failed -pu and no cant mount cache E: - which I know are not necessarily related problem ), but I want to keep this nandroid in my back pocket to be safe-

My question is, given my situation, how do I use it for 100% restore to stock (over, say, the jjackson automated 1 step unroot with the pd15img.zip and his included part7.bin )

I did: grankin "even if youre rooted" thread - followed full gfree and hb085 instructions, no errors. s=off, flashed cwm3024 thru rommanager, did nandroid backup, flashed royal ginger 1.6, no anomalies othen than episodic wifi and gps lockon, 99% solved with quick reboot. No new kernels or radios flashed at all. ( i assume flashing rg1.6 kept stock radio)

Now, if I sell this phone, how do I go back to stock -

1. put your 2011-05-26.07.52.08.zip in the nandroid backup directory on the sd card (why do i not trust my own nadroid backup? :o)

1b. or do I unzip it there?

2. reboot to hboot, select recovery, backup and restore, restore, pick the zip from the sd card, let it rip, reboot, it will be virgin t-mobile stock 2.2.1 (plus the couple of things you threw in there)?

Is that all? no need to reverse gfree first, or undo the 085 bootloader?

thanks

Thank you so much it worked!!!!! :d
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PermROOT:
Hmmm I am not sure where Evil D stuff is coming from as I never flashed his kernel/rom in my life. Also far as this backup goes I just did it 1hour before I posted here using gfree on the phone which was previously rooted via VISIONary+. Now I am guessing due to you already having Radio S=OFF you running in to problem as technically you just have stock hboot but the radio flag is turned off.

Run VISIONary+ and gain temp root once its done from terminal using "dd if= of=" command push the eng hboot. You can find them all located already inside "/data/local" so do this command from terminal after you do SU. If you can't do SU at this time then do it via adb and push it.

Using adb:

adb shell

dd if=/data/local/hboot_dhd.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

sync

Using terminal:

su

dd if=/data/local/hboot_dhd.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

sync

Reboot and see if it sticked if not post back. Keep in mind everything you need is already there as I have to root very often as I am testing emmc fail-pu issue atm. So post back we will figure it out.

Far as the nandroid backup goes its my private backup just for rooting. You can't do anything on it other than root. I just stripped it down for rooting specially with everything setup ready to go so all I have to do is root it in 1min and I am done. Since I am testing the fail-pu atm and have another test MT4G its all ready to go.

As you did gfree root by doing revert with PD15IMG.zip (Rom/Radio) still won't revert you back as its true security flag off. So what you should here is first revert back to whatever you originally flashed. You can use the regular unroot meth which reverts back using part7backup-xxxxxxxxx.bin which you will have no problem. Then just run stock PD15IMG.zip and you have factory state phone.

Far as the step goes from where you are:

1) Do unroot with part7backup-xxxxxxxxx.bin meth.

2) Download stock PD15IMG.zip (rom/radio) and place it on root of your SDCard.

3) Reboot in to bootloader it will scan it and select yes to apply.

4) Reboot and you have clean factory mt4g

Keep in mind my nandroid backup is just for quick power-rooting. It has no use to anyone both folks who is testing and losing root always like myself when I was testing on root via VISIONary+.

Good to see one is fixed as technically you had no system modified so your fully up and running.

just tried flashing grankins kernel, but no luck. could it be that I have a bad eMMC chip, or is it something else? also since hboot says 0.86.000 and s=on (but different radio), could I just flash the stock nandroid and get a replacement from t-mobile if all else fails, or will they look deeper into the phone? not really wanting to do that tho lol
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PermROOT:
You can but why take the chance? It just matter of figuring it out.

1) You can do what KOLOHE did and hex edit the mmcblk0p17.img

If that don't work do #2.

2) In last effort I say download the leak PD15IMG.zip yes the Panache version it will upload new bootloader and radio and over write the current BS lockout.

clarknick, did you ever find a way to resolve your issue? Correct me if I'm wrong, but your issue as it stands is that you have S-On, are unable to flash the old stock images because you have a new radio, and unable to revert to stock kernel because write protection is enabled and won't allow you to overwrite the boot image.

no not yet, I still have root access but s=on and stock hboot 0.86.0000. my only last resort, as PermROOT said, is to flash the leak Panache version to see if that works. if not, Im stuck with a locked bootloader unless I can figure out a different method :(

youre pretty much on point :) I have tried the downgrade method using hex editor, that was actually my previous attempt. but it did not work...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawler9:
Darn. In that case, my guess is your only options would be either to wait for a later myTouch4G stock ROM that already has the newest radio and will flash successfully or try the Panache stock ROM. The only issue with that is I'm not sure if the Panache stock ROM can be rooted with gfree or visionary. It should at least put you on a working stock ROM, but if you already have a functioning ROM with root, you might want to just stick to that until we have confirmation that Panache can be rooted.

Either way, a newer stock ROM should be able to overwrite boot with a stock boot image without requiring S-OFF. Outside of those options, I don't see anything else that could succeed with write-protection enabled.

Just out of curiosity, when you attempt to flash any other ROMs, do they have any effect (eg replacing everything but the kernel) or does nothing at all change?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
I can flash other ROMS, but the kernel from my currently installed rom (Evil D myTGB v1.0) sticks to every rom. even a clean stock nandroid, the kernel still sticks

Of course you run the risk of getting caught if they check closely enough to see if you've rooted, but yes, that should work. However, you may wind up with a phone with a bad eMMC, a bad LCD or both. I don't know what you have now, so the risk may or may not be worth it.
