fastboot to unroot??

I cannot get this unroot to work, with a gold card or otherwise. looking in the sappimg.zip are a bunch of .img files; can i use fastboot to flash these and unroot??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] knny1491:
Pretty sure you can actually. But im sure you need an engineerings spl to do it which means itd be easier to just put the 2010 eng spl on then update via sappimg.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fallinprince:
So how do you by pass the check so you can go to a "Earlier" version Hboot doesnt work ive tried Unlocker.com im seriously clueless how do we do this

or should i flash a stock rom and hope thats good for a return
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] knny1491:
Flash the 2010 eng spl then load this sappimg.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fallinprince:
ok Any links to a possible source and <3 then maybe if it works we can get this thread rewritten with proper instructions
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] knny1491:
Search for magic enginerrings spls amunra has a thread with all of them in it but make sure you flash the 1.33.2010 spl.

FREAKING YAY accomplished UNROOT:eek::)

MY Steps taken For MT3G 1.2 (Not fender) (partially borrowed from http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/)

1. Download this Hboot courtesy of Amon Ra's (Magic SPL HBOOT collection)

Hboot 1.33.2010

2. Then Download and Rename

Sappimg.zip (not sappimg.zip.zip)

2a. (I'm assuming you should switch this for the fender version on page 1 if you have a fender)

3. Place both files onto the root of ANY sd card (ASSUMING its been properly rooted)

4. Boot phone into Recovery mode (Via home + power)

5. Flash Hboot 1.33.2010 and Reboot into recovery mode (to allow the process to finish)

6. Boot into Hboot mode (via Down Volume + Power)

7. Push the trackball down on that screen and wait for it to pick up the Sappimg.nbh.

8. Push the trackball to begin, it should automatically update from there.

9. Once the flashing is fully complete, reboot the phone. DONE!

PS I'm not responsible for what you do to YOUR phone. I don't have a gun to your head so don't act like it. Use at your own risk with caution

Also thanks to knny1491 for i would have been lost without him

I have a MyTouch 3G Fender LE that is getting stuck at updating SAPPIMG, In the 6th step - Sytem. After following the first step I end up with :

SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A ENG S-OFF H

HBOOT - 1.33.2010 (SAPP31000)

CPLD-13

RADIO-3.22.20.17

JUN 2 2009, 17:27:03

I proceed to step two and it shows this :

Parsing...[SD ZIP]

[1] BOOTLOADER - OK

[2] RADIO V2 - OK

[3] SPLASH1 - OK

[4] RECOVERY - OK

[5] BOOT - OK

[6] SYSTEM - Updating (----stuck here

[7] USERDATA

Update is in Progress...

Do not power off the device!

I have left it alone for an hour or so and still nothing. Any ideas?

*****UPDATE*****

Ok, I see what I did wrong for one, but now another problem has arisen. As far as the first problem, I realize that I had the wrong radio to flash the 2.10.531.3 original ROM. The radio needs to be the 2.22.23.02 Original. After fixing said radio, a new problem arose with the update. It reads as follows:

Parsing...[SD ZIP]

[1] BOOTLOADER - OK

[2] RADIO V2 - OK

[3] SPLASH1 - OK

[4] RECOVERY - OK

[5] BOOT - OK

[6] SYSTEM - Fail-PU

[7] USERDATA - Fail-PU

Partition update fail!

Update Fail!

This is the first time I have encountered the "Fail-PU" message. I am assuming it has something to do with the Memory Card. Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fallinprince:
if you haven't tried already i would try doing a factory reset

also verify you have the same files as in my previous post
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skyline247:
Correct. I am using the 1.33.2010 HBOOT from your previous post, but substituting the sappimg for the Fender version, since I have a Fender LE. I am going to investigate further and update my progress.

Thanks for the help so far.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skyline247:
@fallinprince. I know you have a 1.2, not a Fender LE. What I am wondering is if you have a g or h phone. I was reading that the. 2010 Eng. Spl was an h. My device is a g. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I flashed the 1.33.2004 Eng. Spl (which is a g), but it's still saying Fail-PU, so...... :) Oh well. Off to experiment some more. (I've got a headache) LOL :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rpesigan6:
yeah im having the same problem too! i dont know what to do. i tried using different memory cards and still no luck...

Sorry to bring up an old thread but.

The post 49/quoted text...

Not sure i'm fully understanding this..

Going to unroot a FENDER

Do i flash the sappimg from HBOOT (like rooting) then use the RUU

or is it like reflashing a WM and just use the RUU to go back stock?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] spark916:
Works for fender .. Just in time for 2.2
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
2.2 isnt coming out for us untill around next summer. the current update is only for the outdated original mytouch.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Edubyah:
Need to use Kenny's method

It works but I had to use Kenny's method not even GOLDCARD would work always said main version older . But if you flash the ENG spl then the SAPPIMG.zip it worked on my touch 1.2 Ithen used UNIVERSAL ANDROOT installed superuser made a backup with ROM MANAGER then put my old backup of FROYO back on........ man donut sucked..... by the way this rooting method keeps your my touch splash screen.

EDIT:I DO BELIEVE CRYPSMOKER IS RIGHT WE ARE JUMPING THE GUN FOR THIS UPDATE IT'S GONNA BE A WHILE!!

Оk, I got the exact same problem while unrooting from Chromatic 3.7, and now after getting this update fail, cannot boot into the ROM. I dont know if the phone is rooted or unrooted. The good part is, I can still get to fastboot, hboot, and the recovery which is now the stock one - 2e (from Amon RA 1.7.0).

Does anyone know what needs to be done in order to fix this? Thanks.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DonJuan692006:
Follow the steps from post #49.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lgtsanev:
This happened after I followed the instructions from post 49. Since then every time I go to the hboot mode, it loads the sappimg.zip and then the following message appears:

Main version is older!

Update fail!

Do you want to rebote device?

<ACTION> Yes

<POWER> No

I cannot start the steps from the beginning, since I no longer have the Amon RA recovery, but the stock <2e> instead, and cannot flash the zip files again...

I've read that the problem may have happened because the sd card is corrupted. I just need to no if theres a way to flash Amon RA through the bootloader (since the only other way I know is using the terminal, and the phone doesn't boot into the ROM), so I can repeat the instructions with another sd card.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DonJuan692006:
Silly me, didn't pay attention to the part about being back to the stock recovery in your original post. Unfortunately, your going to have to re-root using the goldcard method. Use the guide from my signature. Once you get Amon Ra reinstalled, just run the steps from that post again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Kenta133:
helppp

how do i use the fender one
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DonJuan692006:
Same method from post #49. Just with the Fender ZIP.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Edubyah:
It's DONUT not cupcake make sure you dont have the .nbh with cupcake you need the .zip with DONUT if you have 1.2/Fender!

I don't know why these guides aren't updated but somewhere in here is a post that I used on my Touch 3g 1.2 and it's the only way that works for me. Follow these steps - 1:download engineering spl 1.33.2010 and the SAPPIMG.zip

2: place both on your sdcard and rename the SAPPIMG.zip to SAPPIMG.zip

3: in recovery flash the 1.33.2010 spl DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REBOOT SYSTEM

4: reboot phone into fastboot with volume down + power, verify your spl and press back to enter fastboot you will see it going through the SAPPXXXX images the last one will be SAPPIMG.zip it will ask you if you want to update or shut down choose update by pressing the trackball (please pay attention to the options that pop up until you know it's updating) now wait for it to go completely through all the .img's it installs everything recovery,radio,system and it doesn't take as long to boot as a sense rom so be patient and let it finish. it's the most reliable method I've found and I still have the goldcard I rooted the phone with.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] budney:
Just realized I flashed the 1.2 ROM, not the Fender ROM... doh!!!

Any one have the Fender zip to upload? The actual file is not available any more. :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DonJuan692006:
Yes it is. I just downloaded it the day before yesterday from the link in the first post.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] budney:
Maybe it's a browser issue for me then. I've been trying since last night with no luck after the countdown
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Edubyah:
Do you need me to upload to Mediafire or Dropbox?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] budney:
That would be great if you can!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Edubyah:
I'm sorry but I don't have it anymore and I can't download either. If you get the update now you'll have a regular My Touch. Sorry. Surely somebody has it and will help out please.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] budney:
Ah bummer! Thanks for trying. :)

Having the wrong ROM downloaded to my phone is what I am afraid of. I hope it checks more then just the software on the phone to make sure you are getting the right update. A check of the phone's serial and or IMEI number should be done too.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DonJuan692006:
After the countdown, hit the download button then just let it sit for a few minutes. I had the same problem. It'll eventually start the download.

fender Sapping.zip

I downloaded the one posted above and it installs fine but it doesn't appear to be the fender rom other than showing the fender build number. It also changed the fender splash screen to the the regular mytouch 3g.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] budney:
True, but the build number is the key right now with the update being pushed out. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nimam81:
Ok, then if that is true, then it's working.

However, the build number of my Fender was actually 2.08.531.1 when I bought it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DonJuan692006:
Good deal and your welcome. Let me know if/when you get the update if it goes properly.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] budney:
It's been so long since I have used and rooted my Fender, but you are correct about the build number. Pic from the Android Central review is below.

Will do! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DonJuan692006:
Budney, try typing *#*#2432546#*#* from the dialer, you should get a notification saying "checkin succes", and then select the update option from the "About Phone" menu. See if it does anything.

Can I just flash

Hey - I never used the gold card method to root my Fender that was described at the beginning of this thread and have been using ClockWorkMod Recovery. Can I just flash this Sapp image or do I have to follow all of the methods I have read about so far? If anyone knows, would be great to hear. Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DonJuan692006:
You can try just putting the SAPPIMG for the Fender on your SD card, boot into hboot (volume down+power), follow the on-screen directions, and see if it'll take. If not, follow the steps from post #49 using the SAPPIMG for the Fender.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nimam81:
I had rooted my fender using the universal androot. Do as it says in post 98. It woeked for me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] woulfey:
Worked great

Thanks! Now we'll see how the update goes
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DonJuan692006:
Any who see's this and hasn't gotten the update, please download aLogcat from the market. When you get prompted to do the update, select to do it later, then open aLogcat, save the logs from menu, then post them here.

Or, select to download the update, but before installing it, pull a copy of the update file from cache. Any questions on how to do this, please PM me or hit me up on Gtalk @ Bob692006@gmail.com
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sandwich11:
I'm hoping that someone might be kind enough to point me in the right direction. I also get the main version is older error when flashing the sappimg from Shipped Roms. Now it appears that I have unrooted because I have the stock recovery. I've tried following DonJuan692006's advice to re-root but I'm stuck at the part where you flash the Unlockr's sappimg from the gold card. When I flash this sappimg, my phone gets stuck in a reboot loop. I get the Mytouch bootscreen, then the HTC boots screen, and it loops at the HTC bootscreen forever. I tried flashing the sappimg from Shipped Roms again, but I still get Main Version is older.

I tried to start over from scratch, but when I attach my phone to my computer, it doesn't recognize that the phone is attached because the phone doesn't boot all the way up. I have the SDK installed and the proper drivers.

Does anyone know how I can get my phone to boot again into any ROM? Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

See if you can borrow a friend's Android phone (any will work) to remake the goldcard. Sounds like that's the problem. Then use my guide to root. You don't need to install a ROM, just to get the custom recovery loaded. So, once you get that part done, come back here and we'll get you back to stock.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sandwich11:
I still have the original gold card image that I used to root the phone in the first place. I used that image to make my current goldcard. It seems strange that it would work to root the phone once, but not work now. But I'll take your advice and make a new goldcard. Thanks for the help man.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sandwich11:
Ok, I'm rooted again. Was able to root by flashing the Unlockr's sappimg, then connected to the pc in fastboot mode and flashed recovery,etc. From there I was able to flash the Fender w/Root zip and now I have a phone that boots. The problem now is that I can't sign in with my google account because the data connection doesn't seem to work. I can make phone calls, but I can't use web, market, or anything that requires data. Maybe I need to call T-mobile. Thanks for the help Don Juan. I'll continue to try to unroot following the great advice in this thread.

Update: Successfully unrooted! After re-rooting, I followed post #49 and flashed the hboot. Then I was able to flash the sappimg from shipped roms without any problems. Thanks for great help that you guys provide in this forum!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DonJuan692006:
Glad you got it worked out.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sandwich11:
Interesting. I'm unrooted (I think) and I'm rocking donut but I now have the new gingerbread market!? I found a couple of reports from others on the web that also got the new market, but I'm a little paranoid that maybe I'm not actually at stock. Anyone know if these stats look correct for a stock unrooted mytouch 1.2?
