[myTouch 4G General] febycv:
Did you used the official update or the rooted version?

---------- Post added at 04:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

If you followed all the steps & downloaded the exact file and still get error, i can't say what went wrong....sorry....

So, r u rooted? If yes, then try flashing the rooted version through recovery......

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------

Just go to boot loader.....

did you see it searches for pd15img.zip pd15img.nbh

pd15diag.nbh and pd15diag.zip
[myTouch 4G General] rufolangus:
im not rooted im using the official version

---------- Post added at 07:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 AM ----------

yes i see it searching for those files then it doesnt do anything..
[myTouch 4G General] febycv:
Then wait for some time....

Did you see a loading symbol on the right corner....?????
[myTouch 4G General] rufolangus:
nope.. does not work.. i guess my phone does not want the update =/

i dont see the loading symbol either..
[myTouch 4G General] febycv:
Wait for for some time......

You will see a new menu with Parsing,,,[SD ZIP]

then press vol-up to update.....

I used the official version, and even when I unrooted a while ago and went to 2.2.1 I still had S-OFF
[myTouch 4G General] febycv:
well....congrats.....you are a one lucky guy.....enjoy....
[myTouch 4G General] m2j3sahagon:
Yeah, I have the same thing. I did the Perma S-OFF using gfree. When I updated to the Unrooted Stock 2.3.4 I still have it as S-OFF, but changed my Bootloader from 0.86000 to the stock one. Now I lost root and recovery.
[myTouch 4G General] rescued:
tried this using the stock 2.2.1 and it told me it was an older version and wouldn't downgrade it. i'm not rooted and am trying to roll back so that i may root. i have 2.3.4 from the store upgrade.

is there something special in your 2.2.1 file that tricks the phone? i used the img file from the unlockr.com. also i'm doing all this on a friends phone so i don't have it with me right now. (it was taking too long and he had to go)
[myTouch 4G General] Tom Barrister:
Didn't it say earlier in the thread that this has to be flashed with Clockwork, and not used as a PD15IMG.ZIP file?
[myTouch 4G General] rescued:
one cannot do this as i dont have root access. that's why i was doing these steps
[myTouch 4G General] GazaIan:
PD15IMG.ZIP is flashed in HBOOT. That file is not rooted. If you have S-OFF radio off you will keep your S-Off. If you have a standard S-Off (didn't use gfree) then you will lose S-Off.

The other file is rooted and is to be flashed in Clockwork. You do not flash PD15IMG.ZIP in recovery.
[myTouch 4G General] rescued:
im not rooted.... i have s=on
[myTouch 4G General] m2j3sahagon:
When I flashed the Unrooted Stock, I retained S-OFF (cause I used gfree) but loss root. Can't use ROM Manager to reboot to recovery. I tried the VOLUME DOWN and POWER UP to get to the bootloader. When I selected recovery it just hang and did not go to CW recovery.

Is there a way to root without downgrading to Stock Froyo? Can I just flash ENG BOOTLOADER using Fastboot?
[myTouch 4G General] febycv:
The only way to permroot is to downgrade. There is no way to root 2.3.4 update.
[myTouch 4G General] BarkleeSanders:
Is This Rom Unlocked For All Carriers

Or Will i Have To Use Gfree To Unlock For All Carriers

That's All I Am Wondering
[myTouch 4G General] febycv:
This is the official upgrade and has no restrictions.

If you are unlocked before, you can enjoy the update without any problemz....
[myTouch 4G General] jr_718:
I tried you method of downgrading. Just putting PD15IMG on the SD card still gavibg error about older per.

[myTouch 4G General] jr_718:
I believe you can, there's someone on this forum that has a file called update I think, helps in backing up your data.. and I think you still could just find an app to backup your data then restore after upgrading.
[myTouch 4G General] androidlove91:
ive been away from the forum for a while since i wasnt able to find a way to root my 2.3.4 but anyways let me see if i guess this since im still a little new at this. i can just flash one of these and it will be rooted already?
[myTouch 4G General] febycv:
No, you can't do that. The rooted Rom stated in this post can only be used by permanently rooted users only.

If you are in stock 2.3.4 and need to use the rooted version, then you need to downgrade back to stock 2.2.1 & then do a permroot.
[myTouch 4G General] androidlove91:
ok thanks for clear up. so then there still isnt a straight root for 2.3.4 still have to downgrade
[myTouch 4G General] febycv:
Yea, still can't figure out a solution for rooting the stock 2.3.4 update. We still have the downgrade option.

Let's hope someone will came out with a solution.........

GB rooted update & radio

I did the rooted update to GB. Everything is working fine although had to downgrade the version of Flash to get it working (that's an issue with 10.3 i been hearing though)

but the radio is still the stock Froyo radio. I've seen a few posts on the new GB radios but not sure if i should flash it or not. I've flashed the radio on my old G1 several times so no stranger to doing so.
[myTouch 4G General] losangeles100:
I've read this thread with interest - particularly the video - and was wondering how many other people agreed with the view that it's probably not worth the hassle of losing all your data to upgrade before the push from T Mobile, given the limited scope of the upgrade itself.

I'm unrooted and basically on the fence as to whether i'll actually gain a great deal by doing this myself.
[myTouch 4G General] chriiisstian:
I flashed the rooted 2.3.4 rom and had s-off and root permissions. I flashed a cynogenmod rom and decided I didn't like it so I restored back to my backup with was the rooted 2.3.4 rom. When I did this I still have s-off, but no root permissions. How do I downgrade so I can get root again?
[myTouch 4G General] febycv:
The 2.3.4 rooted version is the stock Rom itself, modified & rooted with busybox.

So if the backup didn't work well, try to reflash the Rom through CWM Recovery. It will do the trick. Don't need to downgrade.
[myTouch 4G General] thelancinator:
Thanks so much for this, I was looking for a way to upgrade all day. I should have checked here first.

I installed the newest Gingerbread radio 12.58.60.25_26.11.04.03 and all is working well. Here is a link to the radio thread. Just load the file onto your SD card root and install with bootloader.

[myTouch 4G General] febycv:
Don't worry, if your phone is unlocked it will remain as such even after the Upgrade to 2.3.4

So, after your GingerBread upgrade you won't be locked to T-Mobile.

You can use it on any sim in any country, if it supports MT4G GSM band.

I just upgraded my wife's unrooted MT4G from 2.2.1 last night so I wanted to say thanx for this post but there is a small problem that she has noticed. In her about phone setting, its showing her phone as an HTC Sense and not a MyTouch 4G like it used to before I installed this update. Is this something to be a little worried about when it comes to apps and such she might want to add to her phone in the future? I only ask because since I updated her phone it wiped all of her apps and settings and the easiest way to redownload them all quickly is through her Google account on the online app market on pc and that too has her phone listed as the HTC Sense.
[myTouch 4G General] febycv:

Need help with the 2.3.4 Stock ROM.

I bought a used phone (will receive it tomorrow) and I'm not sure if the phone is rooted or not (hoping it's not), but just in case it is rooted and I want to go back to the stock rom, should i just flash it with the Stock 2.3.4 ROM for Unrooted phone ?

TIA!
[myTouch 4G General] febycv:
Yeah, that will do. The official version listed will unroot your phone.

But if you need to install a custom Rom (let it be an ICS port) you need root privilege.

Just what I was looking for! (but..)

Hi, All!

I was running Ice Glacier, but wanted GB with no bloat, so here I am.

I did as instructed and I got my rooted, stock rom all good to go. Thank you very much for putting this up here in plain English, so the n00bs like me could get through it. I had to flash the radio to get GPS to work at all, but that's working now.

But, alas, I have more issues:

Big issues:

** the shell commands are not working like they used to:

> adb shell
# ls -al
ls -al
-al: No such file or directory
# ls -?
ls -?
-?: No such file or directory
# ls
ls
app-cache
config
sdcard
acct
...

Where is good ol' bash when you need it?

** some of the commands in the ROM Toolbox now tell me "not permitted!" like 'reboot.' Really? (You breaka my script, I breaka you face!)

Little issue:

** the cpu slider used to go up to 1700+, but now tops out at 1024. I can live with this one. I use the slider to turn it down to save the battery anyway...

Any help would be appreciated.

Revert back to Stock 2.3.4 ROM

Hello, my MyTouch 4g is currently rooted and I'm using the RCMix3D 2.3.5 ROM (version 4). I would like to revert back to T-Mobile Stock 2.3.4 rom. So, to do this, can I just follow the first part where it says "Official upgrade to stock 2.3.4 ROM (Unrooted)" or do I need to do anything special? I do not mind loosing roots, Just want to get back to the stock rom. The custom rom has higher battery consumption and I don't like it. Thanks for your help
