[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
damn, did you try the method i outlined earlier? i thought we nailed down the cause of this issue.....are you sure its a 32b rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yipcanjo:
Are you asking me? If so, what "method" do you mean?

To be honest, I *might* have grabbed the 32A ROM (here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=551722). I should be grabbing the 32B version (here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=551736). I'll re-download and try again...:eek:

UPDATE: grabbed the 32B version of the ROM. same issue... blurry. :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Go back to page 6. I posted the way I installed to fix blur try it and let me know the results
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wabster6:
would we have to start from a clean unrooted rom ? btw have you tried this on any of the hero's ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
i just started the process as if i just got my phone..

inebriat3d has been compiling a list of roms that work without blur using the process i tried. its on page 7 at the top of the thread.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yipcanjo:
Ok. Go easy on me here... :)

So, I'm using the "flashrec-20090815.apk" for the 1-click root method. I typically download a new ROM, power the phone off, power back on (HOME + power) and enter the CyanogenMod v1.4 loader. I normally wipe the data, choose my new ROM, load it, then power cycle into the new ROM. Are you saying that I should load the new ROM and then perform the data wipe? I think I'm probably not understanding you correctly.

Anyone willing/able to talk me through this.... :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pintspin:
i am using following

1.33.2010 Engineering SPL 32Aboard HTC brand

i have flashed followign roms in sequence with results.. against them .

1, AMon _Ra rom ( 1.1.0) working perfectly fine...! no BLUR

2, H-hero-1.79.482.3-32A-RAKrnl.zip blurring

3, v3_Full_Hero_32a-gbo_v2 blurring

4, hofo ion rom 1.05 32a blurring

5, JACxROM v1.3 blurring

6, myhero-1.0.0 blurring

7, RA-IONv1.2.1H.ziRom-RA-IONv1.2.1H.zip blurring

8, Rom-RA-IONv1.2.0H.zip blurring

9, cyanm-4.0.2-32a.zip blurring

1o .....again.... went back to AmonRa 1.1 the best working rom for me so far....! i beleive all the new roms after 1.1 update are having some problem ....

one more thing i noticed that after flashing...every rom was working perfectly means NO BLUR but it will be blurring just after the screen go to sleep for once and when it came back from sleep it becomes blurry and the GAMMA seems to be increased automatically
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
the idea was that with the stock spl, they wouldnt blur. you have the engineering spl,which i suspect is part of the problem. would you be willing to unroot your mytouch and try flashing roms with the flash recovery program?

please post your results if you are interested in unrooting and reflashing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pintspin:
i have dreaded perfected spl before i dont think so after unrooting i may be able to flash other roms..... becasue it will again wont allow me to fast boot.... !
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
you can use the flash Recovery apk to flash other roms even if you have the perfected spl.

inebriat3d has been trying them and compiling a list of roms that work via this method. I have the steps listed on page six..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] phreeq:
I was just reading the post on theunlockr about loading custom roms. It seems they have changed the post and are now saying that when rooting and loading roms on the mytouch, you can skip loading the new radio and spl. You can now go from running the one touch root directly to wiping and loading roms.

Either they have been reading this thread, or they came to the same conclusions. Either way, good job on figuring it out korndub. I'll be rooting mine tonight.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mykenyc:
this does work did it for a friend installed the apk and just loaded up cyanogen rom and it worked
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pintspin:
shall i follow the following steps,

1, upload flash recovery . apk on phone

2, then copy the update.zip ( custom rom amon or other having blur issue )

3, wipe data

4, flash the cutomer rom

i have already rooted my phone with eng SPL shall i use the above steps immediately or shall i have unroot the phone and then apply the above method ( the one which you have alrady provided at page six )

kindly point the thread of unrooting dreaded perfect SPL also , ( cant i do it with nadroid back up it self..like i just load the recovery rom of amon ra and press the restore function ( for my original HTC unrooted nandroid backup ) ??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
if you have changed your spl, you would need to unroot first. and yes you can nandroid backup. all you would need to do is re-install your spl...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Das_mobile:
How do you unroot? I'm using cyanogen with the blur issues.

So should I:

Just do the one touch all over, power off,

then install ROM to SD (unmount SD), power off,

flashboot, then install new ROM,

wipe and reboot?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] palexr:
Why does it look like only US myTouch handsets are affected?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crxtasi:
it's not all of them... I had blur screen of death on hayruko/dizzy HERO and my friend didn't and we both pre-ordered the MT3G. Cyanogen and evil's HERO didn't have the BSOD on mine. Really don't know whats causing all this :confused:

Oh and I did my unrooting thru 1 click boot...still did it. So I tried unrooting and rooting it again using unlockr method(spl and radio too) and still did it!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] palexr:
No, not all of them, but of it seems to be only them, not non US handsets - Rogers, Vodafone, etc...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
use the T-MObile NBH that is in Amon_Ra's thread and completely restore the phone to original state. then use flash recovery to install a new rom..there should not be any blur
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pintspin:
tell us abou the HTC branded magic also ( previously prefect SPL ) but now its 22.10 with amon Ra rom..... please help dear ..... there blurs are placing a big restrictions to enjoy those plenty of roms .....!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Das_mobile:
Bad news, mine still does it even after flashing back to OEM T-Mobile version and applying APK

EDIT--trying again with a "Fresh" micro SD card.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Powers16:
My question is this... I got the flashrec-20090815.apk installed on my phone which has been un rooted... now from here on you guys keep saying "Use flashrec-20090815.apk" to flash roms Can you PLEASE step by step show me how to "use flashrec-20090815.apk"

because im not sure if i am supposed to decompress the zip file and and flash boot.img thats located in the hero rom file?? i mean cmon i know its easy for you guys but i need step by step instructions if you want help especially from people like me who are new to this. when i launch the flashrec-20090815.apk program i get a command line typically used to flash the boot loader so we can boot into recovery and flash the roms which doesnt work for me since all roms that have anything to do with Hero blur my screen after stand by which sucks and im anxious to try this method.

so please Korndub supply us with step by step directions on how to load roms from the flashrec-20090815.apk so we can solve this issue..

Thanks.

[/QUOTE]
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
search buddy.. this is not the place for us to teach you how to flash a rom. there is a thread for this. this thread is to find out what is causing the blurryness and how to fix it only. and feel free to call me a d*****bag like the other guy.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xJCHAVx:
I just finished working with a friends my touch ... originally rooted with flash recovery ... went well but it was loaded with Drizzy v3 but the blur issue came into effect only when the phone timed out and went to sleep when brining it back it was blurred ... tried loading cyanogen rom but it was still blurry ... un-rooted and re rooted manually with Amon_RA's post "How To Root and un-root the T-Mobile myTouch 3G" ... loaded cyanogens rom again ... success!!!! no blur even after the phone went sleep ... tried JACxHEROSkiv1.6r2a and JACxHEROSkiv1.6rB (yes I formatted erveything correctly I currently have this rom running on my g1) everything was fine untill the phone went to sleep then all of a sudden the blur issue again .... loaded cyanogens rom again it worked fine... Strange right ... well he happend to install open home when he was running Drizzy's V3 and ever since then when pressing the home key it gives the option to use open home or touch flow to go home.. under applications menu in settings it shows "home" with he option to force stop but thats it not option to uninstall... the strange thing is this hung around even after un-rooting and re-rooting... and yes I wipe everytime I flash ... if it's a JAC rom I wipe my Ext3 partition as well ... but it still happens everytime. I have another friend who has a MT3G and it runs Jacs Hero fine (1.5) it think. Both from the US T-mobile ... N E- thoughts?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Powers16:
No, i guess its not the place to teach how to flash a rom, yet you want everyone with a unrooted 32b Mytouch to help you correct?

You sir are not a douche bag. A douche bag would have given step by step instructions and took his victory dance after fixing the blurry problem.. You sir are an A$$HOLE. A clear difference. Thanks for your 190 Character response there for a second i was'nt sure if i was worthy of 160 characters but alas you yet have shown this thread that not only are you NOT a Douche, but you are capable of typing over 160 characters, which is longer than your standard text message. If you are responsible for the fix of the blurry screen i do thank you, but that doesnt change the fact that you are a complete asshole and you really don't deserve to do what you do.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
thats great feedback! thanks for your thorough findings. at this point, Im beginning to think that the problem may lie with HTC's components. I heard that there are several mytouch's with burned pixels (like mine) right out of the box. This particular problem could be due to the ram/rom onboard? I dont have my replacement yet, so i cant test different SPLs to see if i can reproduce the blur.

Did you re-root using the one touch method?

I have a replacement mytouch coming next week. Hope i can get it to work.....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xJCHAVx:
The first time it was rooted with that app .... the second time I rooted I did it manually throu through adb with a gold card
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
hey xJCHAVx, try something, install whichever rom you had that became blurry (doesnt matter if its hero or not) then try each of the eng SPLs on amon_ra's thread here....

start with any of them other than 2005. Let me know if the blur is still there
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xJCHAVx:
I'm at work right now but i'l try it when I get a chance .... I have rooted another my touch with haykuros spl before with no blur probs so I dunno but I'll give it a shot
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
cool. let me know what you find out... im out of luck on testing until i get my replacement.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Johnny Blaze:
I may not have a high post count but someone please test some of my finding as I only have 1 mytouch and 1 g1.

Tested on Mytouch3g HT 2005 ENG SPL usiing RAV 1.2.1g recovery

8gb c6 MicroSD partitioned using recovery console.

Installed Cyanogen 4.03 No blur

Evil hero No blur

Cyanogen 4.04 No blur

Jacs Hero blur

back to evil hero blur

platinum xd blur

cyan 4.04 no blur

qtek blur.

I did a wipe, reformat sd, wipe again and installed all roms from secondary sd card. Did this procedure between each rom.

Taking into account that Evil's rom installed fine the first tme yet not the second that means that there is not a hardware issue here possibly a software issue. Unfortunately I need someone else to try the same order and see what happens. BTW I am now on Platinum again with no blur.

Here is what i did

Go to recovery and reformat sd or do it through whichever method you prefer.

Do not wipe yet.

Reboot into Android and go to settings and security and factory reset your phone.

no go back into recovery and do a wipe. reformat sd card again. setup partitions.

Convert ext2 to ext3

repair ext filesystems

At this point I tried installing evil hero again 3 times and got stuck in a boot lood so wiped againa nd installed platinum.

I now have super fast hero no blur.

Someone else or a few need to test this to see if it helps trackdown the source of the problem. Maybe something is being left behind from previous installs that a wipe is not removing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xJCHAVx:
OK ... so heres some more interesting news ... Loaded JACxHEROSkiv1.6r2A back onto MT3G set time out to never and everything was cool for a bit ... accelerometer stopped working ... un-rooted with original NBH ... everything was bvack to normal everything worked no blur... re-rooted and loaded Cyanogens 3.9.9.1 ... everything was fine... I agree with Johnny Blaze (prob not a hardware issue). So I'll try some of the rom Johnny Blaze suggested when I get a chance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
interesting. did you get a chance to try different spls also?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pintspin:
did every thing stated above .... no luck ............ damit .. no other rom is running at my phone...... other then amon_Ra rom .......

hoping hakuru , amon ra , red galles and other devs may bring some success to this project...!!

we have started reverting back to old roms....... we cannot enjoy these super fast , hero / magic roms because of that blur problem.....

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xJCHAVx:
Nope sorry I was @ work n just threw the files that I needed on a usb stick n used my work computer ... but now that I think of it the only hero roms that I've ran (JAC roms n Drizzy's roms) both require haykuros SPL so I'm sure the roms won't work without em
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
they require the new style SPL, you can still run them with the ENG spls on amon-ra's thread.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Das_mobile:
I cannot get the blury issue to stop. Using CM v4.04 and it does it with my Mytouch. Its annoying cause it "locks" you out of the phone.

I have tried different SPLs, which one is working for you guys....tried to re-root with the Amon's HBR, still nothing.

temp fix

What appears to be happening when device sleeps and the button is pressed to wake device the screen comes up faster then the menu. So this leads me to believe that the sync between the screen coming on and the menu appearing are off. That perhaps the hardware and drivers need more tweaking. I am using MT3G using experimental rom from cyan latest.

What I do after device sleeps is -- I press the red end button several times to wake up the sleeping rom and when I see screen I press menu so far that works and hopefully these great programmers developing for us will get this issue fixed.

I do want to thank all the developers and xda for making this possible.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BRAND1SH:
Okay folks, i just installed evil hero 2.0 for the 32b, dated 8/30 and I finally have hero with no fuzziness! !!!!!! ! ! ! !!! !!

1. reset phone to factory state.

2. went into recovery, wiped.

3. back into recovery, partioned (fat 32) sd card, then ex2 to ex3.

4. removed battery, removed sdcard (class 6)

5. microsd adaptor connected to pc, copied evil hero 2.0 to it.

6. put phone back together and booted up into recovery again.

7. wiped, then flashed evil hero 2.0

8. waited a good 6 minutes, phone booted up with the mytouch screen, then htc, then an awesome tmobile screen!, then htc again, then walah !

9. Hero goodness, nice and fast with no signs of fuzziness :D

good luck hope this helps !
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Das_mobile:
Ironically, my mytouch (manf. 7/26) has issues with cyanogen mod ROMs, but not any of the Hero Roms...odd I know. I'm getting a new unit this week so maybe it will be better (although I think the newer models have more issues rooting for some reason, don't know, I may sell it and go for the i7500)

I would also like to thank everyone (amon, haykuro, cyanogen, korndub and others) for getting this phone to run and root. I'm confident the issues with the screen will eventually get sorted out.

I'll give it shot tonight n c what I find ... hopefully one of em will work ... fund for the feedback
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] htcclay:

Thank you for sharing.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I know!!! Im hoping to have this problem isolated and figured out asap so we can all enjoy the homebrew'd goodness.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BRAND1SH:
Clay, I only tried the evil hero rom (2.0), once and it worked fine as far as no fuzziness. Other roms I've tried:

cyan 4.0-4.0.4= no fuzzys

Qteks latest hero= fuzzys

zeroxd's latest= fuzzys

jackxheroski= fuzzys

Im not sure why all of a sudden i dont have pixels with this hero rom, but I've come to my own noobish conclusion:

Considering how complicated a process it was to root just months ago, we have to expect some gremlins in the works, when its reduced to a few steps process. Also, based on all the reading I've done on these and other forums, it def does not seem to be related to hardware or software in particular. I know people are claiming the preorder mytouchs are not affected, but like I posted above, I preordered mine in early july and recieved it a week before launch.

Very weird indeed and I hope one of the many gurus we have here can narrow this down ( why should sprint get all the hero love ? Tmo started android in the states!), but I am having some slight issues with the rom regardless and will be posting in regards to those on a new thread.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xJCHAVx:
Ok so I was unable le to try the different spls (my guinea pig denied my request to try but I got another one a lol later today or tomorrow) however I was able to load the Evil Rom 2xx n everything is cherry .... also tried qtek hero but that one was fuzzy .... so far nuthin new from what I've read on the forums. If I can I'll try the other spls n c what happens .... no brick hopefully :D

My Temporary Fix

Last night I installed CyanogenMod (EXPERIMENTAL) - v4.1.2.1 rom on the MyTouch 3G.

At first I was having blurry screen issues as I've had in the past with all the other roms tested.

Reading a suggestion over at the Dream forum concerning another problem with Caller ID not showing up without hitting menu, I decided to try this simple procedure.

Go to spare parts and select the "End button behavior", then select "home, then sleep" option at the bottom.

If you do not have Spare Parts installed, download it from the market.

Its been over 12 hours and I have not had any blur issues. I have tried to recreate the problem by touching all the buttons; still no blur.

I have no idea what is the cause of the blurry screen, but this temporary fix is working for me at the moment. By the way, I did not change the MyTouch 3G SPL.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yipcanjo:
Hey! This is *huge*!!! Need to test this out myself...

UPDATE: I'm not able to reproduce this *fix* :( I installed the ZeroXd 4.5r3 ROM, got the "blur", installed spare parts, set the 'End Button Behavior' to 'home, then sleep', but still have the "blurs".

So sad.....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chitownboi24:
same here no luck and could people please stop saying that they got evil hero 2.0 to work because he already fixed the issue with that rom so it works on every mytouch...what i don't understand is why the other's can't revert the kernel like evil d to fix the problem
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Das_mobile:

Rabbit Hole

I am sorry to hear this "fix" is not working for you guys.

The Spare Parts fix is the only thing I did differently.

Maybe it is a combination of the Rom and the spare parts fix.

Hopefully someone will come up with a permanent solution soon.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xJCHAVx:
I don't hink it's the Kernel. In Evil 2xx ROm is running the same Kernel as JAC Hero Rom (JACxHEROSki-v1.6r2a or JACxHEROSki-v1.6r2b) I've tried flashing both of the JAC roms with fuzz issues but I had no fuzz issue with Evil2xx ... But I haven't heard of anyone having the issue with Evil Rom so ur right about that.:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yipcanjo:
Actually, his early releases weren't blurry, then his 1.74x release *did blur*, and then he quickly put out a 1.75x release that wasn't blurry again. Have yet to have another blur with his ROMs.

I'm curious as to what he changed that made the 1.74x release blurry... :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xJCHAVx:
Good question ... Theres another thread open about this with a good idea (using a non fuzzy rom and replacing the kernel with that of a fuzzy rom) u might wanna keep an eye on that thread if u haven't already:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bouyark:
UPDATE:

So much for the temporary fix. A few minutes ago while watching and listening to a video podcast via my bluetooth headset, I received a phone call and the blurry screen returns.

There goes that "fix".

Sorry for the newb question guys. Yes i have used the search but it doesn't seem to be specific to excaliburs and I perfer not to brick my phone.

I'm looking for a way to dump my rom, and use it to flash another persons phone. He saw how I have mine and is eager to clone it. Which I have no issue with, as i'm just beginning my customization. I perfer not to start from the beginning with his, as I have with mine. It has taken alot of time and learning, and I figured there is a simple way to just dump the rom and flash his with all the currect apps I have installed and such. Any point in the right direction will help, and thanks in advance.
