[myTouch 3G, Magic General] EpikFail:
Hello,

I'm not an expert at modding and hacking but I can definately follow directions. I used a G1 for about a year and flashed it plenty of times with different roms, radios, and spls. I ended up getting a MyTouch 1.2 and proceeded to try to root it so that I can enjoy CM's great roms.

Followed the directions on the unlockr

Made the gold card and went to flash the sappimg.img from the site. The flash went through fine but the phone just got stuck at the HTC Magic screen. Now I know what my mistake was there. I didn't think it was a big deal and continued with the steps. Mainly because I didn't see any infomation on what to do if it doesn't go through. Flashed the radio, then went to the hboot. Received image update failed error message. Long story short, I experienced what having a brick feels like.

The reason I am explaining all of this is for people to learn from my mistakes and to get some clarification on what I am writing next.

I got the phone exchanged (only had it for a day) and began researching more to find out what I did wrong. I found this crypysmoker's thread.

And then I found the message:

In my research, I discovered that the mytouch 1.2 has several spl's that have been hacked and not. I figured out that the file on theunlockr wasn't the fixed spl and that is mainly the reason for my brick and the frozen HTC Magic screen.

I want to enjoy the gifts that CM has to offer. Being stuck on normal 1.6 is well saddening to say the least. But I am worried about flashing the wrong spl and have the situation repeat again as I would figure I would be screwed this time around and wouldn't be able to get it replaced.

Can anyone provide more information about this? Can I flash the Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010 and not run into the same problem? I understand that there isn't a 100% certainty of working. Most of my searches show that more people have bricked this phone than any other.

Thanks in advance and sorry for the length.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] EpikFail:
Well, I did it all again. Redownloaded all the files. Setup a new goldcard. This time I let it sit for over 45 mins. Never got past the HTC Magic Screen. Adb doesn't see it nor does the light come on to say that it is charging. Which would show me that it has indeed locked up.

Anyways it shut off on its own since it wasn't getting usb power and I guess the battery died. I'm still able to reboot back to hboot. I attempted to reflash the sappimg.zip file. Right now its going on 10 mins sitting on the

What I will add tho is that my info changed.

I tried reformatting the SD and recreated the Gold Card as I noticed some of the Hex changed but still getting the same issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hacker01:
the phone won't run anything other than spl 1.33.0013 and radio 2.22.23....w/e x)

Get the sappimg you had before and flash it in hboot mode which should give you spl 1.33.0013. In fastboot mode, flash your spl to 1.33.2010again, then flash radio 2.22.23 or w/e, then flash amon ra recovery, then flash stock spl (1.33.0013).

All the files you need are here: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/

The reason it wont boot up is because you have engineering spl and the wrong radio on. Again, it will only boot up with the stock radio and spl~!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] EpikFail:
I don't know where I would find the original stock sappimg. The one that is on the website is the sappimg that needs to go on when you are stock at the beginning.

Also my HBoot doesn't seem to be unzipping cause that is where it gets stuck. Is there a way to do it all from fastboot? Since I am currently stuck in the 2010 spl, can I flash the stock spl through fastboot without the radio?

I just don't get why I am having this problem. I followed that website to the letter. And I know that at this point if I attempt to flash the radio back to stock, I will completely brick it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hacker01:
Since you dont want to flash the radio, flash the amon ra recovery FIRST. Then flash the stock spl. If it doesn't boot up, then you'll need to get the engineering spl back on again and flash stock radio (the one in the link).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] EpikFail:
I couldn't flash the recovery in fastboot.

Tried Fastboot boot recovery recovery.img

Got an error message Recovery not found.

Wasn't sure if I wanted to try flashing the recovery before finding out if it can brick it. Like the original post says, my first MT1.2 I flash the spl from unlockr screen locked up but could get into fastboot so flashed the radio and then tried the spl like the directions say and I completely bricked it.

I don't want to make the same mistake twice.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hacker01:
Unfortunately, there's a chance of bricking every time you flash anything.

Anyways, this might be redundant but is the recovery imaged named recovery.img? Like you actually renamed it? If not, you'll have to type out the exact name.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] EpikFail:
No it wasn't named recovery.img, was just using it to save time. I did spell out the recovery's full name.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hacker01:
When you enter the command "fastboot devices" it shows a serial number right? And the recovery image is in your tools folder of your androidsdk folder?

Sorry for the redundant questions, we're just going back to the basics really quick right now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] EpikFail:
yup and yup
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hacker01:
I see the problem. Your mobo is recognized as 32a S off H. You're recovery image is probably the G version. What you could do is download the H version and flash it although i doubt your phone will still boot up at that point.

You could try flashing the H version of amon ra's recovery image and afterwards, see if it boots up. Then, if it doesnt boot up, flash stock spl (1.33.0013) and see if it boots up.

I'm pretty sure your phone will end up not booting up and you'll eventually have to flash stock radio as well and then flash the G version recovery back on.

The reason your mobo is recognized as the H version and not the G version is because of the radio.

EDIT: I just realized I made a mistake. I meant to say the mobo is recognized as the H version because of the SPL, not the radio.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] crypysmoker:
Heres your problem. If recovery is not found then you didnt put it in your Androidsdk\tools folder did you? or did you rename it? Oooorr, you put it in there while adb was running and didnt restart it to see the file itself
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hacker01:
He already said that its in the tools folder.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] EpikFail:
Sorry for the last reply, I do all my hacking at work so my adb setup is there. So I did this.

Holding home+power, wouldn't boot into recovery. Seems to still be stuck. Went back to fastboot

Still same thing so back to fastboot I go

My phone now reads

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)

CPLD-13

RADIO-3.22.20.17

I can tell that the radio is still the old one. It seems the spl worked and put it back to stock but still no recovery and I guess I can't fastboot anything either.

So I assume I need to flash back eng spl and see if it will boot, right?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hacker01:
Even as the recovery and spl are compatible, you see that it still won't boot up. What you gotta do now is flash the engineering spl and do the same as before except flash the radio as well.

In the end, your mytouch should read:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)

CPLD-13

RADIO-2.22.23.02

The same as stock before EXCEPT this time, you'll have amon ra's recovery. That's when you know you're done. Just follow the guide from before and you'll be fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] EpikFail:
So I flashed the eng spl again. Still wouldn't boot. Got the same SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A ENG S-OFF H

did:

I'm still worried about flashing the radio....

but I should fastboot the radio and then the hboot.nb0, right?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] EpikFail:
Solved

I would like to start out by saying, Thank you so much hacker01 for your help! You don't know how much I appreciate everything.

I was able to get it back working and fully running CM5.0.7

After I reloaded the eng spl, like I said, I was running into the same problems. Wouldn't boot, goes into fastboot, etc.

I grabbed the stock radio and spl NOT from the unlockr page this time but from the link on crypysmoker's thread.

Just like it said and sure enough got into recovery! Flashed a rom and it booted up.

I know this technically isn't solved cause I really don't know what went wrong in the first place. I can ensure you that I can follow directions and did. The only thing that makes any sense is the files on theunlockr's website is bad. Guess we can just chalk it up to bad luck.

But if anyone wants to root their mytouch 1.2, crypysmoker's thread is definitely the way to go.

Thank you again hacker01! I hope I can pay it forward.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hacker01:
You did it right, it's just that any radio that is not 2.22.23 won't work with the mt3g 1.2/Fender LE right now. And no problem! Glad you got it up and running. Enjoy your mytouch (:
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rl27:
Please, help!

I have the exact same problem: I was following the Unlockr's instructions, made the goldcard, flashed the sappimg without getting any errors, and now the phone is stuck on the htc magic boot screen. I am not experienced and now I am scared sh**less, because the phone belongs to my girlfriend:) Please, give me step-by-step instructions how to fix it, because I really dont want to improvise. The phone is MyTouch 1.2...

Thank you in advance!!!

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] NetrixTardis:
I think people are not reading through the whole instructions:

pre 1) install SDK and get a working ADB (may require HTC Sync for drivers)

1) create goldcard

2) place sappimg.zip on goldcard

3) boot phone to flash sappimg.zip (Vol down+power)

4) reboot phone again, this time to fastboot (back + power)

5) have *Stock 1.33.0013 SPL and 2.22.23.02 radio* img files in SDK's \tools

6) have Amon_RA's recovery img in SDK's \tools

7) connect phone to computer via USB, verify adb/fastboot sees phone (using 'fastboot devices')

8) use the following commands to flash stock SPL/Radio:

fastboot flash radio radio.img (or whatever the name of the 2.22.23.02 radio file)

fastboot flash hboot hboot.nb0 (or whatever the name of the 1.33.0013 SPL file).

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (or whatever the name of the recovery img you are using)

fastboot reboot-bootloader

9) place MT1.2/FE compatible ROM on SD card

10) boot to recovery, and install from there.

11) profit?

That's what I gathered the process is
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rl27:
Phew, the phone is fixed, running Chromatic 2.1... I was scared because in the unlockr video his mytouch loaded a home screen while in 32A, but mine was just stuck on the boot screen, and I thought I mustve screwed up something. Anyway, thanks very much for your help, NetrixTardis, much obliged :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Donarudo:
I'm having the same problem but I keep getting signature failed when I try the other steps. Haven't had the phone for 48 hours yet and I managed to brick it. Sigh. This is so depressing.

i have a g1 but it doesnt made the unlock code request.

and it show a message

NO SIM CARD have NO SERVICE.

the sim is working perfectly on another phone.

how can i check the sim card reader..?

or any tip....

no body...????? heeeeeeeeeeeeelp....
[G1 General] XBrav:
Go to Settings > Wireless Controls > Mobile Networks > Network Operators.

Select the new network, and you'll be prompted for the code.
[G1 General] ezterry:
Also (for your silly simple checks) ensure the sim card is inserted in the correct orientation.. the key on the sim needs to match the diagram on top of the sim slot.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Unless something's broken, it won't even be able to go in backwards. The key cut needs to be in the right place in order for the BATTERY to be installed.
[G1 General] ezterry:
Why so it is (my fault for never actually trying.. had someone say they tried backwards [and it failed] but they also previously opened the phone without the right tools and the plastic of the battery case was a bit of a mess..)

hi to all, thank you by your help.. but i still with the same problem.

1. the sim is install in the correct positions

2. if i try to search my network it show,,,

food for thought

Just curious, have you gone to Settings-Applications-Manage Applications and searched for Google Apps and cleared the cache.

I had a similar issue with the unlock screen and my calls never ring through, they went right to voice mail. I cleared the cache and that resolved the issue. Not sure if it will take care of the network issue, but give it a try.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gromky:
I have an HTC Touch Pro2 running the excellent Rhodium_S2_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.07.707.1 ROM. I would have posted the link to this but the board says "new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages". As it's an internal link to this website, I'm not sure what the problem is. Anyway, just append showthread.php?t=631563 to the end of the URL of this board.

I really like it because I'm a native English speaker living in China, and it's tailor-made for my exact situation. I bought a dual touch/keyboard phone specifically so I could handwrite Chinese characters. If I see an unfamiliar character, the only way to look it up in the dictionary is to write it - there is no way to know its pronunciation so you can type it with the keyboard. I just can't stand soft keyboards for writing English so I needed a real one. However, there are a few performance issues (slowness), as well as some lockups. Sometimes, manila.exe or services.exe will consume 100% CPU and when this happens, using task manager v3.3 and clicking "CPU" will lock up the phone.

Are there any cooked ROMs based on this distribution?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] zhw410:
You can try English Rom + a Chinese Support Cab.

OK guys would i be wrong in saying ( The evo is just a updated hd2 running android )

If it is then do you think HTC would make a firmware update so you could just flash the phone over to run android.

If you look at the clip's on youtube it looks like the same unite just with a 8mp cam hdmi port and a ugly back
[HD2 General] random_username_:
yeah it is. i think it has more internal memory too and touch sensitive front buttons(i think). HTC could make an update but im pretty sure they wont as they are EXTREMELY slow when updating firmwares (look at the hero) and thats an android device.
[HD2 General] archers3001:
ok well maybe the good guys on the site will sort it out :D
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
They look similar, but that is all. They are completely different devices. The screen size is the same, but they use different touch sensors. The Evo roms will not work on the HD2... too much different hardware.
[HD2 General] paulmor:
This is very True! The EVO is a CDMA unit while the HD2 is a GSM one.

They have a similar look, but they are not one and the same!
[HD2 General] steffen1337:
The hardware is pretty much the same, it´s the software that is the problem.

Sooner or later Android will be running on the HD2.
[HD2 General] TonyCubed:
The hardware is not the same, it has different hardware inside. Nothing from the EVO can help with a HD2 port to Android.

You might be right, I´m just leaving my thoughts, since the EVO isnt available in Sweden I don´t know so much about the facts. I´m just paying attention to rumors, lol

hehe, its listening to rumours that made loads of people believe they had been promised win7/android updates by HTC and MS, and that they DESERVED free upgrades, which then made them start talking about sueing them, (lol, some people, if they had double the brains they'd have two brain cells)

[HD2 General] kayroccs:
if u think about it the hd2 and the evo 4g are like identical brothers but not twins.... now i think htc created the evo because android os is on the rising. plus i think the hd2 is much sexier when we r talking about hardware.... software can be put on any device so all im waiting for is the port. only thing evo has over the hd2 is the compatibility of using 4g service n android os, plus there was a test that was ran with sprints 4g vs t-mobile hspa network and t-mobile higher network speeds than sprints 4g...so who ever went to from t-mobile to sprint just for the 4g service just wasted money. if u think about it htc just made a lot of money creating 2 devices using different os. one thing i do hate about the hd2 software;1) wm uses too much mem for one dam app, 2) wm is tremendously outdated with their framework.
