[myTouch 3G, Magic General] danegerous:
Hey guys, I have spent the last 8 hours trying to figure this out.

I have a MyTouch 3g 1.2 and I want to root it and install Cyanogen's new ROM. I have been following the rooting guide from TheUnlckr.com.

I am able to complete everything fine (I needed to substitute the sappimg for the Sapphire one to make it work), but it finally completed.

When I go to fastboot with SDK, I can see my device, so everything looks fine. However, when I go to flash the radio, hboot, and recovery images, I get a error that says:

C:\AndroidSDK\tools>fastboot flash radio radio.img
sending 'radio' <21504 KB>...FAILED <remote: not allow>
finished. total time: 0.016s

This is the pattern for each of the files I try to flash...

This is where I'm at, and I haven't even gotten to flashing the ROM yet. So, I currently just have a stock device. Can someone please help me out?

I tried using the following sappimg:

2.53.707.2_-_sappimg

SAPPIMG_Sapphire_T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4_release_signed

the following SPL:

update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2010-signed

the following recovery images:

recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img

flashrec-1.1.2-20090909.apk

flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2

flashrec-20090815

I'm clearly all over the place now. Someone please point me in the right direction. I tried several different ways to fix it, but none of them worked. The most reason I tried was the method of using the flashrec to flash a recovery image while the phone is on, instead of fastbooting it. That didn't work because it kept saying it was the wrong image for the phone.

Thanks in advance guys. And believe me, I've been searching and searching.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] adavis159:
before you can flash anything with fastboot, you have to shoehorn that engineering SPL into the phone somehow (probably have to make a goldcard, but I don't know for sure on the 1.2 mytouch)

which rooting guide are you using? (there are many different ones on unlockr, some of which are terribly obsolete)

also, flashrec isn't a recovery image, its a one-click rooting app that only works on android 1.5 (pretty sure the 1.2 mytouch only runs 1.6)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] danegerous:
This was the guide I was using. (I can't link to outside sites, so I'll just copy it as text) http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/

I also successfully created a goldcard, and installed all the ADB stuff. The part that's hanging me up is the flashing of the recovery image via fastboot usb.

I'm so close! I have successfully rooted two other mytouch devices, but they were not the 1.2 version.

Any more help would be great!

Dane
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] adavis159:
what "sapphire" image did you substitute? and what happened when you tried to use the sappimg that they gave you in the instructions?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] danegerous:
When I tried using that image, it just said "wrong file for this phone" or something like that. I know the goldcard was done right, though, because it works with another sappimg. I'm trying to follow cryptsmoker's guide now. I'm going to try and use the engineering img/SPL now. We'll see how it goes.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] danegerous:
Ok, now I'm getting frustrated.

Here is my info:

Sapphire PVT 32A Ship S-on G

Hboot-1.33.0013 (Sapp31000)

CPLD-13

RADIO-2.22.23.02

Oct 21 2009

I just got the Model ID incorrect!

Update Fail!

This happens with every sappimg I use except T-Mobile 2.10.531.4. I'm sure that's the stock one, so that's probably why. I'm just so ticked.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] danegerous:
To clarify again, After I hboot the sappimg, I reboot and instead of being taken to the Magic screen, I'm taken to a standard MyTouch splash, then Android splash, then MyTouch setup screen. My touchscreen works the entire time. Is this because I basically just reinstalled the stock ROM?

I just can't seem to get ANY other sappimg to work beside the stock one. I've used three different goldcards and all of them work the exact same way.

Please help!

Dane
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] adavis159:
yeah, you are just reinstalling the stock files (stock SPL and radio)

just because the t-mobile sappimg works doesn't mean you made the goldcard right.

the point of the goldcard is to trick the phone into installing a non-stock sappimg, you could take a brand new SD card, put the stock sappimg on it and you would still be able to flash it using vol-down+power

open the goldcard.img in HxD and make sure it contains all the lines (including all of line 170), if it doesn't then you need to start over from the beginning (get cid again, reverse it again, get a new goldcard.img)

If goldcard.img is ok, open the sd card in HxD again and make sure all of the first 170 lines of the sd card match the goldcard.img

also, some SD cards just don't work for making goldcards. I used a lexar 1gb, and kingston 2gb cards are reported to work
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] danegerous:
I didn't paste over the entire 170 line while making the goldcard. I used the "select" feature and chose 0-170...that could be my mistake. Here we go again!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] danegerous:
I actually never got this to work the first time. I was really excited since I heard I would be getting the T-Mobile update soon, but then I read a little further and saw that the 2.1 is not yet included...so, I will be figuring this out today, mark my words!

Wish me luck!

Dane
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] housry23:
I had a similar problem and it was the goldcard. Although I had made the goldcard and it worked before, using the same goldcard I get the same error message as you. I made a new goldcard and it worked flawlessly to flash using fastboot. Make sure you are using one of the brands that are know to work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] danegerous:
OK, new problem now. I installed everything and got it all to work. I actually had the stock cm rom working (an out of date version from the unlockr). Well, I tried to update and I started by flashing the 6.35.16.19 radio. Apparently that worked but now nothing else will.

In the HBOOT screen, I see this:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)

CPLD-13

RADIO-6.35.16.19

Oct 21 2009,

Every time I try and update the Sappimg file, I get stuck at the updating phase of the radio_v2 portion. Please help guys, I don't know enough about this to figure it out and it's really killing me!

I figure I need to get back to the stock radio I started with (3.22 or whatever), but I can't. Even when I try to flash the radio in fastboot, it takes way too long and never finishes.

Your speedy replies are greatly appreciated.

Thanks

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Got your pm.

Facts: STOP MESSING UP YOUR DEVICE.....

You are working in the blind... mixing bad spl and radio combos.....

So STOP what you doing and read and understand before you continue.

You can't just take any sappimg.zip and apply it... I has complete partitions layout... like the spl, radio, recovery ect...

So if you take whatever you find on the net and apply it, you will **** your device up... just like you did now...

Having the 6.35 radio and a perfected 1.33 spl... Just bad for business!

What is your current status:

Access to adb?

Access to fastboot?

Access to recovery?

Access to rom/system?

Also post fastboot info...

Then we can take it from there :0)

And for gods sake... STOP flashing stuff.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] danegerous:
I have access to adb, fastboot, and hboot. No ROM/system or recovery.

Clarification: Since I cannot access the system of the phone, I do NOT have access to ADB. I cannot see the device when I type in 'adb devices' within the AndroidSDK\tools path.

Fastboot info:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H

HBOOT-1.76.2007 (SAPP31000)

CPLD-13

RADIO-6.35.10.18

Aug 21 2009

The radio used is: Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_6.35.10.18.img

the hboot: hboot-1.76.2007.nb0

the recovery: recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img

I have since tried to go into one of your other threads and at least match up my SPL/Radio combo. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
OK.... you are now in a god situation...

You have a good combo and eng spl...

We can work with this....

1) boot into fastboot

2)download the fastboot commander (magic).... check my signature

3)start the tool... does it print the device info?

If yes, do this:

Go to the magic 32A tab.

Push "flash old".

IF all successful, then go to "misc" tab and push "reboot device".

When device has rebooted, push "print device info".

Now copy all text and posted here...

IF you get ANY errors... DO NOT REBOOT, DO NOT CLOSE THE TOOL...

Just take the output + the content of the "actual tab" and post here....

Again, IF you get ANY errors... DO NOT REBOOT, DO NOT CLOSE THE TOOL!

If the tool does not print the device info, then post here...

Man, I have to give props to mumilover, he helped me out SO much with this mother. And, for the record, this problem was quite a problem. Apparently certain precautions need to be taken when flashing and reflashing, more than just the radio version.

Thanks again mumilover, I would have bought another phone if it weren't for you!

hey guys does anyone know if our desire kernel and mostly MCK1.1 can run this app...it's th wired tether here:

code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/

i want to know this cause i don't want to install htc sync everytime i want to tether my phone on a pc
[Desire General] scoobyspin:
You don't need HTC sync installed just the usb drivers for usb tether to work I believe
[Desire General] dnlgee:
My thoughts exactly. When I was running the stock rom (pre-root) on my Desire, I never had HTC Sync running but could connect tether via USB just with the drivers installed.
[Desire General] lambrospower:
are these drivers automatically installed by the pc ???? i mean the wireless tether is just run it and your pc recognizes a network....is it this way or we have to install 3rd party drivers (the adb drivers for desire)
[Desire General] scoobyspin:
Yea you need the adb drivers installed manually it wont automatically do it.

[Nexus One General] victorhooi:
heya,

I've searched high and low, and maybe my Google-fu is patchy at the moment, but I can't seem to find a traceroute program for the Nexus/Android.

Is there any such program?

The closest I could find is this:

http://code.google.com/p/tracerouteandroid/

but it doesn't appear to be finished.

This is on an unrooted 2.2, btw. Is there such a thing?

I tried downloading "Terminal Emulator" and running "traceroute" and "tracert", got a permission denied. However, if I just enter in a random string, I also get permission denied. This is probably a fairly n00b question, but are traceroute/tracert available on the Android platform? Or some sort of app?

Cheers,

Hi

i was using BeHero (actualy my girlfriend did) after a while the device was very slow and wanted to return to 1.5

for me it was quite a pain to return to the original. on my PC i found an old nandroid backup (1.73) but was unable to restore that with RA-revovery 1.6 so i downgraded that to 1.5 again through adb

then i was able to restore the old backup

from that backup i upgraded to 2.73

when the phone got internet (wifi or 3G) the first part anounced itself and was installed very quickly

my girlfriend is happy with 1.5+ (a pitty for some lack of features) i hope HTC will real ota the update soon

I think i worked it out

when i got the connection error i did the following:

a. make shure you download the correct RUU installer from your local HTC website

b. get the Android SDK tools

c. make sure your phone is charged (beyond 51%)

1. run RUU installer and continu until you got the error, don't click OK yet

1. go to temp folder (win7: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp\)

2. copy the files HTC RUU extracted (some wierd folder name, sort on date/time) to a safe place

3. in the RUU folder, replace the adb and its DLL with the one from the SDK tools

4. start RUU from the new folder.

5. it should be fine now

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kshawn:
I have no idea, but you can try to just strip the background away and leave it transparent an make sure your custom icons are Centered correctly. I haven't had the problem you're having but in theory the transparent method might work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
this

if you just make the icon bg's transparent then they will still look fine if you change your notibar color (unless u change it to white :p)

OR

you could open up one of the icons that does match the notibar and copy/paste that gradient to the one you need to fix

also, I don't know if this would create a problem but I always make sure to save icons and such as "save for web and mobile devices" in photoshop
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bizz3d:
Thank you for you reply, it makes perfect sense. I have no idea why I didnt think of that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bizz3d:
I did try to copy onto a gradient icon that did work. For some reason it still came out wrong as you see on the image.

"save for web and mobile devices" would this help with image size? Currently they are coming out nearly triple of stock. example stock icon=1.31kb modded icon=3.97. I'm sure stripping the gradient will help but is still huge compared to stock.

Ok so I took out everything except for what I needed. No gradient nothing else left but the white notification icon. Then exported it with "save for web & devices" (this helped on file size thanks) Now what its doing is, icon appears correctly when its slide down into position, but then the icon stock background color gets added on (wrong gradient). Its so quick but I can see it happening.

On the plus side some did change like all battery icons and wifi, but the rest seem to be doing what I explained above very frustrating. Ive attached one of the icon's that I'm working on if anybody whats to help me out.

Seems kinda like a waste of effort. The 2.2 AOSP just came out and we've already got 2 roms that work, albeit very early and limited ones.

It's only a matter of time before a proper 2.2 rom comes out and developers with talent should focus on getting 2.2 out there rather than trying to optimize 2.1 to run flash

Try the skyfire browser. It loads up flash videos and tranlates it to something our g1's can read.

Besides, skyfire loads up futurama episodes perfectly=p

You're not going to make flash 10 work on an arm7 device because it's compiled for arm8.

What you could try is pulling the flashlite plugin from a hero build (made for msm7k) and try to get it plugged to the new browser, since it accepts plugins.

There's coding required, though, and I've no idea about browser plugins.
