Bootloader options on Glacier Stuck at bootloader

The 2.2.1 image does not load due to 'older version' error in the bootloader, so I renamed it so that it would stop at bootloader to test working options.

Glacier pvt ship s-on

HBOOT

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

FACTORY RESET

SIMLOCK

IMAGE CRC

Fastboot of course works, as I am able to run the image load from SD card

REcovery works, but give the various mounting errors mentioned earlier

factory reset can be selected but does not change anything and it returns to the splash screen

I did not try simlock, as it looks irrelevant

image crc works and seems to check an image somewhere

When I select RECOVERY, Press UP Volume and Power to get past Triangle, it enters the recovery with all of the mount errors, and then the menu pops up

Androic System Recovery <3e>

Use volume .....

Select w Power....

Reboot System Now

Apply Update from SD card

Wipe data / Factory Reset

Wipe Cache Partition

Wiping DAta completes with Ext3 error, unable to mount anything, and unable to open errors, and returns to Recovery menu

Wiping Cache completes wipe with Ext3 error, unable to mount, unable to open and then reboots

Apply Update from SD Card also appears to fail

Rebooting by reason OEM

Cant mount

Count open

then it reboots

From what screens can you mount the 'drive' to use with ADB? When trying to run the ADB commands, I get the error device not found, so I either am not in the correct mode on the phone or I do not have the correct drivers. When coinnectd at the splash screen, my device manafer shows a Portable Device with Drive f:\ and the details show an Android Phone, but the drive is not visible or accessible by ADB.

When I start bootloader with Hboot at USB PLUG mode, the device manage on my computer changes to Android Bootloader device, but I still get 'Device Not Found' after executing the first ADB command. I then followed the info (I think) at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881324 with no success for ADB to work, so I something must be wrong.
[myTouch 4G General] NeuroticallyYou:
It seems the S-ON option is not letting you go further, if it gave you a ext3 format error most likely is because the phone can't erase or rewrite the partition needed. Now I'm no expert on the hardware part but I put my small knowledge on that it have to do with the S-ON part of the phone.

Was the phone booting up properly before? If the phone can't boot to android then you can't use adb commands(for what I know) also the fact you don't have a custom recovery image will make it hard for you reinstall android.

I can probably make some time to help you but nothing is better than having the phone so I can troubleshoot. If you want we can chat on gmail to set up a remote session? Other than that I don't see how I can help you.

FINAL Questions on Recovering Glacier MyTouch 4g stuck at Splash

Since the phone will not go pase the splash or bootloader / hboot.....

Questions:

1. Can the original manufacturer RUU - Rom Update Utility be downloaded somewhere and if so wouldn't it just need the phone in Bootloader mode?

2. For the ADB method, will it work with thge phone at the Bootloader screen, and if so what drivers arfe needed as the Android Bootloader ones do not work that are showing. Is these another setting beyond just the driver that needs to be set to use ADB?

3. Will a program like Odin that I used to recover my samsung image from bootloader work for these phones?

4. Does anyone have any ideas or should I just part out this Mint phone?

Please refer to previous posts for the details on what has already been tried....and what it is still doing.
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
I don't know of an external app like odin that works for our phone. Also, there are no RUU's for the Glacier, only PD15IMG.zip files.
[myTouch 4G General] johnmbailey:
Since Mint MyTouch 4g Phone is Bricked, how much will work for Slide Version?

I saw an old post with a broken link for an RUU that was supposed to work on the Glacier called the panache. I finally found a working link and downloaded the RUU for Gingerbread, but when I ran it it gave and error that the battery was below 30%, even though fully charged and verified with my wall charger, and 2 usb chargers and 2 different batteries. I might try a powered USB hub, but this data on battery condition might have been stored on the phone somehow? If it could get the phone to work again, then a I could always reflash with a different ROM later.

If there is no hope of recovering this Mint MyTouch 4g Stuck on the splash screen, so can parts be used on the shift / slide version such as LCD / Digitizer, push buttons, or ????

It makes me sick to tear it apart.....
[myTouch 4G General] johnmbailey:
Any other thoughts?
[myTouch 4G General] freecity:
Ran into similar problem

I ran into a similar problem with a message about the version number of the recovery image being wrong. This was a few weeks ago and I didn't keep a log of exactly how I fixed it but this is what I remember:

It turned out that during an attempt to root before I knew what I was doing I had changed the version number using the guide at the link below.

http://www.androidauthority.com/mytouch-4g-t-mobile-root-custom-recovery-74465/

That error message was misleading and the problem was instead due to the fact the phone was unlocked (although mine did say so on the bootloader screen.) HTC images have apparently been created to require a locked phone to successfully load. I relocked it in Fastboot USB mode with the command "fastboot oem relock" and was able to successfully load any version number after that.

Good luck.

Hello, have you tried using a different SD card?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] -Kevlar-:
Looking for the best led control app available. Having the notification led back was one of the biggest wins on this phone for me (having come from a skyrocket 2 days ago). not having a notification led has been bugging me since I came from blackberry. I had an app on my bold that could make calls, texts, and emails different colors, combinations or patterns. Would like this app to make the led flash while ringing too, not just a missed call.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghstudent:
Light flow is currently as good as you will find.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kevinjt:
Notification Led

Another option that you got is to flash an CM10 or or PA Hybrid ROM, it has a built-in seetting for Led Control, it works flawlessly.

Cheers!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tonysunshine:
theres also light manager. I believe the dev built it specifically for the GS3.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ElBeaner:
Tried that one, and it was derped on US S3. I tested the miss call, and it did show the color, however, the light would not go away afterwards(even after clearing the call, disabling the app, and even uninstalling the app)

Lightflow so far has worked pretty well(the one for rooted phones)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheChefSLC:
I am using light flow. I did not need the pro features but the dev deserves money for the supprt he provides
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Captjet:
Light Flow is def a great app. Provides plenty of customization and if needed the pro version provides LED notifications for many different apps from the Play store.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] -Kevlar-:
None of these can have the led on when screen is on or incoming call.

Blog by the author discussing the SIII here:

http://www.folioflow.com/ff/page/website/lightflow/pageId/1826

Where did you get the rooted version of LightFlow? Just download the market version and it will ask for root? I don't see any of those details on the blog by the author.... just see where he said he's been messing with the root version, not posting it for download, do you have a link to it somewhere?

Unless you mean the Lite version, where he states this:

Definitely looking for the full version for my rooted SIII if you know anything about that! Will pay for it, just to be clear, but need the full version, not just the lite one....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ganja Steppa:
Full version of light flow has the ability to be used in rooted mode. Works well here. No issues.

So does AOKP.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] c_86:
the latest lightflow version is causing wake locks and preventing the phone from going into deep sleep

the LED controls in the ROMs is nice but kinda sucks as it doesnt cycle thru the lights... meaning if i have a missed call (red), voice mail (purple) and a SMS (blue) only my red light will only flash... will not cycle thru meaning with lightflow, it would flash red, then purple, then blue... the built in one in the ROMs will only show red...

just an fyi :)

Anyone know how much data a typical 1:30 movie would use? I lost my unlimited upgrading to this phone now I'm always worried that I'm going to go over my limit. At most I only plan on watching 2-3 a month.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mark930:
Just noticed I put this in the wrong section my bad if someone can move that be great!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Serinety:
I use my phone to tether my ps3 for netflix daily. A 45 min show uses 500mb consistently. A movie is around 1gb, it depends on if it is hd or not.

Using netflix on a non unlimited plan is going to burn your data fast.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mark930:
Is there a way to pick between SD or HD? I pretty much would only watch it on 4g cause if I'm somewhere with wifi I'd use my laptop. So annoyed that I had to get rid of my poor unlimited.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
I feel sorry for people that got screwed out of their unlimited data like this. It makes things like netflix/slingbox etc etc virtually unuseable.

I pre-ordered my G3 to make sure this didn't happen & I have a few spare Rezounds I could swap to if needed in an emergency.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mark930:
yea it sucks I hardly ever went over 3gb with my last phone but 4g is so much faster that its actually enjoyable to surf and watch videos on it if I knew that I may have bout it outright. Now I pay $50 for 5 gb rather then $30 for unlimited sucks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
You can set a max streaming limit of 100mb/hour in your account settings. I'd suggest you do that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chamberc:
There are three choices:

Manage video quality

We know that some of you have Internet data caps and we want to make it easier for you to manage how much data you use.

We offer 3 video quality settings to help you manage your data usage. No matter what level you choose, your Netflix membership price will remain the same.

Good quality (up to 0.3 GB per hour)

Better quality (up to 0.7 GB per hour)

Best quality (up to 1 GB per hour, or up to 2.3 GB per hour for HD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
Hmm. I must have been mistaken. 0.3gb is much better than 1gb though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] piiman:
Yep they make you buy a data plan, charge an arm and a leg for it and then your so limited your basically choked off. I'm on wifi far more than 4g. They should offer a plan with no data.

I've notice they don't really market the phones as screaming devices for watching foorball and movies any more.

That data sounds about right if it were on the computer. But I'm unsure if Netflix on Android adjusts for the smaller resolution, I'd assume it does. So the latter numbers would sound about right.

Buy HTC One X for awesome camera, screen and gaming

You can find many tegra optimized games that have better effetcs

One X is also the very first non Sony phone that has become playstation certified

and Sony is working for a lot of games for Playstation Mobile

If you want faster phone performance wise and like dark colors and amoled screen then go for S3

Also no S-off available for One X yet

Just sent my HTC Sensation off for repair under warranty due to this fault :

Running OpenSensation nightly 20120810 and TamCore 3.0.40 without any issues and updated the nightly every 2-3 days with no issues. had the phone 12 months and had it s-OFF and unlocked about 4 hours after buying it. At that time running CM7 as that's all there was, updated to various ROMs until I settled on OpenSensensation (tried CM9 a couple of times for a few days but prefer OpenSensation). All ROMs installed fine over the past 12 months

Installed Kingdoms and Lords off Google play (huge game 200MB data download via wireless), after first game phone froze and reset. So I reduced the overclock, game running fine. Had another game later on in night playing for about 15 minutes. Phone froze again, switched itself off and didn't come back on again !!!!

Tried charging it thinking battery was flat, no charge. Took battery out as it was an Anker 1900mah just in case it had blown. Put original HTC battery back in, no charge light, nothing. Took battery out and left it out 2-3 hours as suggested on 'net as it 'might' help

No charge, tried another USB lead plugged into desktop. Still no charge .... oh crap

Took to T-Mobile shop I got phone and explained situation, forgetting to mention it was running custom ROM, they tried. Still no charge, no reaction in shop. Zero, zip

They sent it off for inspection/repair yesterday under warranty and said it should take 2-4 weeks

It had been running custom firmware since the day I got it on contract and has never caused me any grief, apart from some roms running better than others while I made a choice which ROM to stick with

Question I'm asking is can HTC still test the phone even though its not taking a charge or I assume not powering and just froze and died, assuming the motherboard is fine does anybody know if they use test points that bypass the USB socket to power it up

And how can just playing a legitimate game downloaded off Google Play freeze the phone and shut it down never to power up again

I'm guessing the possibilities of a faulty USB charge socket, faulty power switch or fried CPU/GPU/motherboard considering it just froze and died

I used it as a phone but did play games quite a lot during the day when I had a few minutes while not working, and had it overclocked to around 1625-1728 which it ran stable at without overheating

If they send it back refusing to touch it due to finding custom firmware on it I'm looking at the Samsung galaxy SIII over the HTC Nexus One simply because the Samsung has a removal battery and additional microsd card slot where for some reason I assume is to make rooting more awkward the HTC has a hardwired battery and NO extra sim card slot. I was looking to replace it when my contract expired in February but if they refuse to fix it citing custom firmware (even though it has been working perfectly for 12 months running various custom firmware) I have no real choice but to buy out my contract and get a new contract. Bummer
[HTC Sensation] thescrapyard:
Hmmmm,

Reading a few postings it appears there is a possibility that the motherboard is fried somehow, or a 'hard brick' through a bad ROM install ... I wasn't updating and firmware, not updating any ROMs

Just playing a game downloaded and installed off Google Play, but if it means the motherboard is fried then at least it means HTC will have to replace it as 'faulty' so saving me the upfront cost of buying out my contract thas has 6 months to run
[HTC Sensation] Der_Prinz:
Actually if you overclock the device or flash a kernel htc doesn't have to replace anything.. by "playing a game downloaded from google play" you mean "playing a game downloaded from google play on a device controlled by custom drivers which clearly make your device out of warranty". So I'm not sure.. altough it's possible that it's not the fault of the kernel but the mainboard had some issues. They are able to test the charging port and the main board seperately. Let us know abouth the end.
[HTC Sensation] thescrapyard:
It would interesting to see HTC's response either way so I'll report back once they have a look at the phone

As I don't have a loan phone at present so have no phone until they get one back from customers having their phone repaired, I have to use the 'net to check on the status of the repair via the T-Mobile website
[HTC Sensation] thescrapyard:
I got my phone back yesterday with a new motherboard, under warranty

Now seriously struggling to get it to S-OFF as its running HBoot 1.27 as teh guys in the shop also said its had "new firmware upgraded for you", or to prevent me from getting S-OFF

Tried the all in one kit, tried the 'official' unlocker method from HTC. Keep getting the same error about token mismatch when trying to unlock the bootloader

Reading postings from here and there it's suggested that as the motherboard has been changed and a new IMEI, the IMEI and hardware serial numbers now don't match so causing a mismatch between number so the unlock obviously fails

Looking at trying the JB_Bear flash wire trick when I have more time to see if that work with replacement motherboards, so any suggestions as I'm stuffed and want S-OFF as well as full root again. Unlocked it when it was running HBOOT 1.18 was a doddle but now its a pain and T-Mobile branding is pants so want to be able to have my phone how I want it without all the crappy restrictions

Unless somebody can S-OFF and root for me in the North-West Lancs area without sending the phone away, I'll have to do a bit more digging to see what I come up with

[HTC Sensation] thescrapyard:
Managed to get S-OFF using your method after a few tries did nothing so started making me nervous I was about to fry my new replacement motherboard, eventually it beeped and did the S-OFF by following yours steps to the letter

Problem is now, I want to remove the ***LOCKED*** but every recovery.img I try fails with a token error, which reading about it is down to teh bootloader apparently still locked

Also changed the HBOOT to your JB_HBOOT with no difference, still S-OFF but ***LOCKED***, so can't get the next step to get a fully rooted fully unlocked system so I can get back to where I was before the original motherboard died

I'm now looking at installing CM10 JellyBean 4.1 by KANG, I used to run OpenSensation CM9 quite happily and nightlies with zero issues installed a few ROMs over the past 12 months with a couple of minor issues I solved myself with reboot loops and ROMs getting confused and having to wipe the entire phone, plus when I wiped the core by accident during yet another ROM install .... that was fun to solve. Took a couple of days of reading about that one

Anyway, any suggestion as to how to get full unlocked or at least so I can install 4EXT recovery and SuperUser to get a bit further on the custom ROM route and get a phone that's what it should be instead of crippled by T-Mobile UK

Thanks for your help to get where I am so far
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
for flashing eng-hboot aka changing from LOCKED to Juopunutbear

check the troubleshoot point #3 solution in my soff guide ..its explained there ;)

and for thanks ..there is a button to say that :p :D
[HTC Sensation] thescrapyard:
All sorted, now running the latest nightly of Kanga JellyBean 4.1 and full rooted and back to how it was before the motherboard dies, apart from running Android 4.1

Also feels much smoother and much faster, even though its only running the default slight overclock that Kanga sets as teh default, so might leave it at that as it feels faster than previous when running OpenSensation 4.03

Great stuff
