[myTouch 4G General] socal88:
Sorry, a complete noob to "gfree". I'm a new convert to GSM as I was with SPrint CDMA for 10 years until a couple weeks ago. I've rooted Samsing phones but never an HTC.

Anyways, I just purchased a MyTouch that had been rooted and loaded with Virtuous ROM. It's for my wife and she wants it back to stock. I tried all your directions exactly but still will not work. I'm assuming it's this "gfree" issue. I followed the link to the other thread but it's not clear on exactly what I need to do in my situation.

When I run the bootloader, it says bad or no such image... I have confirmed I have PD15IMG.zip and miscnew.img in the sdcard root directory.

Can someone please show me in simplified terms. Thanks!
[myTouch 4G General] febycv:
If you are new to this rooting stuffs, i suggest don't go with methods, that have potential to brick your phone.

Just do this simple method, Follow the link in my signature, you will see a Rooted version of the stock 2.3.4 rom.

Just flash the Rom through your recovery.........no big deal.......easy way to get the stock feel.....:D

Follow the instructions carefully.........Happy Flashing........:)
[myTouch 4G General] socal88:
Thanks for the great help. One more question -- How do I turn "quick boot" off?
[myTouch 4G General] febycv:
If you are in virtuous unity Rom then goto : settings->Power->Fast boot Now Uncheck the fastboot.

Also remember to check the usb debugging. goto : settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging
[myTouch 4G General] socal88:
Do I need to change the Rooted version's file name to PD15IMG.zip?

I tried it with both names and when I do the bootload it just says "no image". I never knew it would be such a big deal to go back to stock...
[myTouch 4G General] febycv:
If you are using the rooted version, which can be installed via CWM Recovery, then you don't need to change the name.

Don't Mix with the Rooted & unrooted version.....
[myTouch 4G General] socal88:
Sorry to be such a noob! What is CWM Recovery? Should I try it with the unrooted version? This is for my wife so I don't need it to be rooted.

I must be doing something wrong as when in bootload it says "No Image". I do have the file in the sdcard root folder...

Ok, I'm figuring it out. It's installing the rooted version right now. I missed the step that I had to scroll down to "recovery mode in CWM
[myTouch 4G General] febycv:
So, how long have you reached? Did you entered the recovery.????
[myTouch 4G General] socal88:
I did not do the full wipe step before installing the ROOTED rom. Would that effect it?
[myTouch 4G General] febycv:
Wait for some time, the first boot takes some time.......

So I am guessing you downloaded the file under Rooted Version of stock 2.3.4 Rom and followed all the procedures correctly.....
[myTouch 4G General] socal88:
I'm stuck how at the green ball screenwith "my" written on the ball. Just keeps flashing and resetting. How can I fix this?

---------- Post added at 04:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 AM ----------

[myTouch 4G General] febycv:
So how long are you been waiting to boot up???? What do you see on the screen????
[myTouch 4G General] socal88:
So could it take up to 5 or 10 minutes? If it didn't work can I go back into recovery mode, wipe the phone and then re-install the rooted rom version?

I've waited about 5 minutes now...

It's at the white with green "my" ball screen and just will flash black every few seconds and then come back to same screen.
[myTouch 4G General] febycv:
Yes, you can go to recovery and try again.......

I am guessing you downloaded the file under Rooted Version of stock 2.3.4 Rom and followed all the procedures correctly.....
[myTouch 4G General] socal88:
I did a wipe and then re-booted. It worked! Thank you SO VERY MUCH. You were very patient and I really appreciate it!
[myTouch 4G General] febycv:
That's cool.....I am happy for you.....so enjoy the stock 2.3.4 version without losing root.....:D
[myTouch 4G General] socal88:
I have another MyTouch that I use. How could I root that one so it was set up the same as the one you helped me with tonight?
[myTouch 4G General] febycv:
You can root, but make sure you follow the right guide.

Before that, check your eMMC. If your eMMC chip is bad, be careful when you root & flash new Rom.

[myTouch 4G General] Paso876:
A lil bit confused here........Is this the method for downgrading 2.3.4 to 2.2.1?? Cuz I'm following the instructions, I used terminal emulator instead but I get permission denied when I request super user permission & the following command as well. Any suggestions?
[myTouch 4G General] big fancy:
Worked great! Followed step by step without using adb and just did thru terminal emulator. back to stock! now to send back with my busted a$$ screen! im so sad. this phone was a trooper!
[myTouch 4G General] mornioas:
Used the CM7 guide to root my phone, after somewhile and an update to CM7.1 the wifi stopped working. I tried everything but nothing really worked. Now I tried this, doesnt work either. Tried to root it again however it does not work. How can I completely wipe the phone and put a brand new ROM on it. I am sure the wifi problem is a software issue since miraculously it worked for a bit and then stopped working again.

Main problem is, cannot get back into recovery mode.
[myTouch 4G General] Opentang:
worked like a charm, thanks for sharing!:D
[myTouch 4G General] demoncamber:

Ready to chuck my phone

Hi all, after a week of unsuccessful "fixes" I ended up here. My phone froze last week, so I downloaded the PD15IMG.ZIP file and put on my SD. I go to HBOOT and it looks like it's working because I get through the blue bar and then to the gold bar. Then it asks "Do you want to start update?" Then I hit the up volume for yes and then it shows "updating" next to [BOOTLOADER]. But then it just sits there without doing anything. I left it for over 15 mins until the screen just goes blank and the phone shuts off. Tried this a couple times with same results and making sure phone was fully charged. Can anyone help? I'm out of warranty and HTC wants $70 just to look at it. Thanks so much in advance.

P.S. Not sure if this info matters:

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grillium:
So I haven't flashed a nightly rom since cm7 nightly build 10 because it disrupted my SD card. So I haven't been on the forums since then so I feel out if the loop. Do we know if my SD card is fried and unable to use again. And if so where's the best place to get a new one
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
Back it up if you can, and if not you could lose all your data on it. I know a lot of people get them working again with just a reformat sometimes you have to use another device to format it completely...camera, xbox, or PC,...I use my digital camera and it works great
[Nexus S General] xtracrispy69:
hey folks, just noticed my nexus won't vibrate at all. tried messaging settings and all options are checked. I've tried as much as possible to get this to vibrate with no luck. think it's toast?
[Nexus S General] thedudejdog:
does it give you the little bumb right when you turn it on?

take the battery out put it back in then hold the power button. it should give a vibrate then. if not, then yea you need a new vibrator.

Happened to me once. Powering the phone off then on again fixed it.
[Nexus S General] xtracrispy69:
thanks for the reply guys. Did a battery pull and still no luck. This is my wife's phone so its not rooted, and with all the games she plays I'll never hear stop hearing about the loss of progress. Installed a few different keyboards to see even if the haptic would fire up, no luck. She said it worked a few weeks ago, but noticed recently that it's gone. I went through ever setting I can find to try to test and and still not a shake.
[Nexus S General] p00kienrayray:
Sounds like ur gonna have to use ur factory warranty.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S General] xtracrispy69:
thats what I was thinking...ok my device is rooted so I can use titanium. Her device isn't. Is there any way to pull her game saves off the device without a root? If the nexus had oneclick root/unroot I'd rip that off no problem. The two rooting methods are quite different, and especially with this going back don't want anything to void the warranty.
[Nexus S General] thedudejdog:
Yea bro, sounds like your wife wore out her vibrator. You can root without unlocking the bootloader iirc then use titanium then unroot. Copy the backup to your PC then swap phones
[Nexus S General] xtracrispy69:
been looking through root posts, haven't seen a 2.3.4 that doesn't wipe....
[Nexus S General] thedudejdog:
you should be able to do a

adb pull /data/ /data/

and

adb pull /sdcard/ /sdcard/

that will copy her data partition where the games are and the sdcard partition to a folder wherever you ran the command. i haven't tried this but without root there isn't much you can mess up
[Nexus S General] xtracrispy69:
adb is new to me. this unrooted crap annoys me, compared to using my cap. So firing up cmd, running those two commands with the device in (recovery menu?), should pull the data files? now when I get a new phone back, I will be rooting hers, would I drop the data files back in?
[Nexus S General] thedudejdog:
Yea pretty much. It doesn't have to be in recovery but if you are make sure to mount the partitions.
[Nexus S General] ctai320:
I actually have this problem. It happened in the first month I got the phone. Someone on the forums recommended that I do a factory reset. But because I didn't root and I don't want to reinstall everything, so I just use the nexus s without vibration. The vibrate will fix itself once a month for a couple days and then die again so I dunno what it is. Please let me know how you fix it. Thanks!

Where can I find MIUI Icon Pack for stock rom? Without using Launcher Pro.

Appriciate if you guys could gave the link.

Thank you
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakeforsoul:
Welp, the sleep of death. After not using the phone for bouts of 30ish minutes (possibly correlated to having an incoming SMS during that period), I will hit the power button only to find the phone does not respond. I will have to pull the battery, and when I reboot, ~80% of battery remains (it was fully charged before).

This happens on battery and on the charger alike.

Running CM7/MIUI (happens on both), and Chad's Latest.

Help!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Before you rule out hardware/software failure, you should try an alternate battery. Quick Q/A rundown:

*How long (in hours/days/weeks) has this issue been occurring?

*Have you removed any system apps?

*Install any partially incompatible mods?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakeforsoul:
It started recently, when I changed things up a little bit:

1) I got a new phone (replaced the HTC INC)

2) replaced the SD card to 16gb
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
It sounds more like a battery issue, have you tried switching batteries?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
The times I've had that issue it was almost always kernel related. Some kernels attempt to do things that simply don't work too well on certain ROMs or hardware. I'd be suspect of whatever sleep settings the kernel has.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Wow, I would not have thought of that. I haven't been very experimental with kernels, I'm one of those "find one kernel that works and stick with it" type users.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakeforsoul:
Thanks, I tried an older version of chad's, but maybe his whole line doesn't work? On two phones, that seems unlikely, but I will give it a whirl. I will keep stock CM7 kernel and report back if it gives me problems.

I hope it isn't Chad's...I love those kernels....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakeforsoul:
Well, I changed kernels to default, and it's still happenning. I get random reboots, about 4x a day. I reformatted my SD card and it helped performance a lot, and I thought that was causing the reboots, but the problem persisted.

Any help? Please? This is strange and it drains my battery.

Seems to happen around getting a text message/notification.

My thoughts revolve around: 1) the 3g is f*cking up my phone, but that would be strange, or 2) the vibration associated with the notification is rebooting the phone? Thoughts?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
The way I see it there are a couple remaining options to try:

1) Flash a different rom outside of MIUI & CM7; however I'm doubtful this would resolve it as you experience reboots on two different roms.

2) Revert to stock Froyo using RUU file and see if reboots continue. RUU can be found at: dougpiston.com and there are threads detailing this process in the Droid Inc Dev. Section

3) Are you able to try a new/different battery?

Couple additional questions:

When you wipe & flash roms, do you Format Boot and Format System in addition to Format Data/Wipe Cache/Wipe Dalvik Cache? If not, possibly try this.

You experience reboots while within a rom, does your phone reboot while you're in Recovery? To clarify, if you were to attempt to manually flash a new rom does it reboot prior to/while in the process of flashing a rom?

Update Clockworkmod via ROM Manager like a stupid coon, now it won't boot into recovery mode. I might have deleted my Updater.zip file on accident or the update did that? I'm unsure. Some help would be appreciated, and if someone could upload the Updater.zip file also so I can see if that helps?

[HTC EVO 3D] emptyaitch:
I am in the same boat, so I will bump as well. I unlocked via HTCDev.com if that makes a difference.
[HTC EVO 3D] emptyaitch:
On hindsight, should add more to the story:

Unlocked via HTCDev.com.

Flashed cwm-4.0.1.4-shooter.img via fastboot

Flash su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip via recovery

Installed ClockworkMod

Attempted to install recovery via CWM, as it would not let me take a ROM snapshot without it

Now I am unable to boot into recovery mode. Attempted to manually flash recovery with CWM 5.0.1.0, CWM 4.0.1.5, and TWRP 1.0.2 with no success. All attempts to get into recovery mode bypass and go straight into the normal mode boot.
[HTC EVO 3D] kingraw:
just like a dumb ass I did the same thing u guys did exactly now the **** don't work it won't go into recovery now I'm sitting here like ain't dis a *****
[HTC EVO 3D] titans10:
Are you trying to boot into recovery through rom mananger or by holding vol down and power button? Have you tried battery pull?
[HTC EVO 3D] zadias:
Did that, it works now, flash the older 4.0.1.4 of CWM to fix, all other versions/other recoveries don't work.

@titans10 yes, we did those steps..
[HTC EVO 3D] Ganii:
I think too!

Because I flashed official recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-shooter.img and

recovery-clockwork-5.0.1.0-shooter.img to my phone via fastboot

and no ones works.

So I think official clockwork recoverys only available for cdma EVO 3D at the

moment.Same for TWRP recoverys.

Only recovery which works for EVO 3D gsm,I think,is

cwm-4.0.1.4-shooteru.img,which made by Revolutionary.
[HTC EVO 3D] digital2go:
I had same issue. I did battery pull and than pressed the power down button and battery to manually go into recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] PMGRANDS:
Try open Rom Manager Again, and Select the First option, to Flash Recovery Again! If you have a WiFi connection you can Connect to, Try that Before Flashing the Recovery Again... Sometimes if you have a shaky signal you'll get a Bad Download!

GoodLuck!
[HTC EVO 3D] detovenaar:
Today is opened my Rommanager and try to flash cwm and now there is also a GSM version. And I can say it works like a charm.
[HTC EVO 3D] Albert Poon:
CWM recovery 5.0.2.0 for GSM EVO 3D available in ROM Manager actually. However, it has the famous power-off-no-charging bug.

Battery life depends a lot on how you use it and what you,have running in the back ground. I could tell you this, this and that worked for.me but it wouldn't work for you cause you use it differently. Sense you already asked in the proper thread there is no reason for a new one.
