[myTouch 3G, Magic General] JRSIV:
Thanks for all the cool info Don Juan. I'm one of the unfortunates who has had their Fender MT3G ruined by the OTA Froyo update. Unmercifully slow, no gallery, texting issues, etc. The thing is now a turd.

I'm getting a new myTouch 4G sent from T-Mo' after a marathon 2 hour call to customer service; It'll cost $99 but I get to keep my Fender and I don't have to extend my contract.

I too have heard of the "free" Vibrants but all I could get from my service rep was the 99 dollar 4G and I keep my phone or a MTSlide replacement free with the return of my Fender. Maybe I could have *****ed more but it was a 2 hour call, and I went from a $279 offer on the 4G to $99 (I've been wanting one anyway and with a year left on my deal before this debacle I could only get one for $429! That's with a "discount"!).

But I digress...I am interested in returning my Fender to the stock 1.6. From the post above by you is it really that easy?

Just put the sappimg.zip file on the root of my SD card (via USB), turn off the phone, hboot w/ VolDown & Power, press "Action" twice when directed and when it boots the phone will be just as I bought it new?

Fender screen-> Android logo-> Google sign up-> back to Donut 1.6?!?

If it's that easy I'm gonna do it. The Froyo experience has been awful. And while I'm reading that T-Mo' and HTC are aware of the problem and are going to send another OTA out with a better update they can count me out. I just want my Fender back to it's original state...

Thanks for your time man...just wanna know if this isn't too good/easy to be true?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Kameleon7:
How do you load the sappimg.zip file from your computer to your phone? i looked in all the directories of my phone and can't seem to figure out which file is for my SD card.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Yes it's that easy. There have been reports that the sappimg from here isn't the right one for the Fender, but I'm going to investigate that a little more.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
You really probably shouldn't even try rooting your phone. This requires to have some technical know-how, which judging by your post, you don't have. No offense, but the truth is the truth.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Kameleon7:
I am not offended. Thanks anyway. I decided not to do it a week ago, cause I was paranoid I would mess it up. Besides, I found out that I qualify for a 2yr contract now, which means I can get a new phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] JRSIV:
Yeah Don on the 'Froyo OTA for the...' forum K'Tag said that the sappimg file here just gets the 1.6 version back like a MT3G 1.2. He said kpetrie77 is working on getting the full on Fender version. I'll wait for it and just keep checking back with you guys.

Thanks for all the help to everyone, this place is unbelievable...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Yeah. I grabbed that sappimg from an RUU that was stated in another thread to be for the Fender. Thing is, I can't find the real RUU anywhere which is quite aggravating.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Damobius:
Is the only difference between this file and the Fender SAPPIMG that this file doesn't have the Fender splash image? Will it still work on the Fender phone (and presumably the vanilla 1.2 as well)?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] WoefulDerelict:
Oh, this aggravation I understand.

While I left the traditional work your ass off fueled by tons of caffeine to meet insane deadlines set by people who haven't written real code over a decade ago I'm still sort of a tech goober. Ever since a friend gave me a Fender a while back I've wanted to really dig in and toy with the little device but, the very first thing I learned was that, no matter what the poster may say, and RUU that is said to be for the Fender, isn't. To the best of my knowledge this STILL hasn't made it out into the wild. Thankfully some awesome peeps are working to cobble something together but, so far it's still a work in progress and I can attest the OTA for the Fender is one awfully shoddy piece of work. It seems to work better for me than most but, I'm patient and curious and decided to flash as clean as I could from the hacked Fender Doughnut to the OTA. If T-Mobile is indeed working on a second OTA to deal with this that is nice but, you think as long as it has taken them to get around to this it should have been thoroughly tested before hand. I'm also wondering how clean this second OTA will be and if MAYBE they will just release a clean RUU to help fix fubbed up phones. If the user's are paying for the damn network access point outright the least you can do it keep it running smoothly.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DUSKnenixs:
perfect this is working great...tested 100% to skip google register. on t-mobile devices.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] TagCdog:
Sorry if this is a noob question, but does that step still apply now that everything has updated since then? I know the step must be done for all this to work, but more or less I am asking if those files are "to date", or if that even matters?

My phone currently says:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)

CPLD-13

RADIO-2.22.28.25

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cellsafemode:
if you are starting from the OTA update to froyo (which I didn't have any real issues with compared to cupcake ...still running it on one of my Fender's )... Then to root the fender all you need to do is follow this guide http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/ exactly. Worked perfectly. Though goldcard creation has changed a bit as there is an app in the market to do the CID reversal (the rest of the process is the same as the guide says)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
The guide on the Unlockr is the same as this one. This guide is based off their original guide but with a little more detail. When I posted this they updated theirs, hence my name being on their website (at least it was).

At the other guy, the SPL hasn't changed. The link is to the original 2302 radio, which doesn't matter.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] LuvMeSumTmo:
i'm having a problem loading the sappimg file, i have created the coldcard with steps provided with no issues, downloaded and copied the sappimg.zip to root of my goldcard but when i boot up the phone and it unzips it says no image or wrong image on each line as its unzipping.....please steer me in the right direction
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] victor0519:
hey don juan thank you i´ve seen you at theunlockr

i need your help, I've got the root on my MyTouch 3G, 3.5 mm, but now I cant put a APN because the phone don´t let me, then I think I have to change the rom on the phone, then tell me what I have to do now?

i´d like to use the cm 6.1, but i want to know if that rom is faster than cm 5.0.8. and if in this ROM I can put the APN

i just have to put the rom and the kernel in my goldcard?? because i already have the google apps installed.

What do you think?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gillmanguera:
Thanks a lot!

I may be around the top 30 noobs on the site, but I managed to get it done. Thanks Don Juan, "Muchas Gracias"

I got my magic working once again.

P.s: I love you man! xD
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] victor0519:
heyy, but both roms (cm5.0.8-ds /cyanogenmod 6.1) it can work with the same radio and spl?

because i have the cm-5.0.8-ds, but i want to know what is better??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] victor0519:
it is very good

i`m using the cm-5.0.8-ds, but i want to know if i`ll have to change the radio spl and recovery, to use the cm 6.1??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hotrodwinston:
When I insert the goldcard and boot to hboot it thinks for a min then flashes a bunch of file names with "no image or wrong image" after each one then clears the screen and says press back to enter fastboot - I went thru making the goldcard 3 times to make sure that was not the problem. I have 2.2.1 ota and cannot seem to get superoneclick to work either.

Any ideas?

[EVO 4G Accessories] bwillet:
To those who have the Rocketfish BT headphones, can you do phone and media on your EVO, and phone only on another device at the same time (work BlackBerry in my case)? I would pick a pair of these up in a heartbeat if I can do that... I need to have both phones connected, but want to listen to streaming audio while I work at the same time.
[EVO 4G Accessories] brndnwbb:
i use my rocketfish bt headphones for my ipod and evo. i can listen to music from my ipod and when a phone call comes thru, the bt will switch to my evo and i can talk. i would assume the same would work for two phones too. but i'm not sure.
[EVO 4G Accessories] brndnwbb:
yes, you can use them on phone calls too.

I installed handcent and now when I get a text I get 2 notifications. How do I delete the at&t app? In titanium backup I only see the ability to remove the preferences but not the program itself.

Also I am running launcher pro and I want to use my tw app drawer icon but its not available when I go to change the icon. How do I get it on there? I can use other tw icons for other apps, just not this one.

Thx
[Captivate General] brandonb81:
Open Messaging, and on the main list of all your threads hit Menu then settings and disable Notification.

I had the same issue. Don't delete the messaging app. (I don't know if you should or shouldn't, so I wouldn't), just disable the notifications.

Edit: Gotten from here: http://www.handcent.com/Faq.php

It's an excellent sms replacement imo.

I can not reinstall two apps from the market after root. Tells me that they are not their. Went to appbrain and same problem. I can see the app on appbrain and it is sent to my evo but will not install. Can anyone help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] yani2000:
You all have no problems with this app?

For me it shows a lot less have been downloaded than it actually was.

Example:

app shows 400MB, but on my providers page it shows 600MB has been downloaded this month!

I need a nice widget that shows correct 3G download numbers!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Ancient_One:
A number of factors can effect the readings and monitoring of your device.

When did you install can effect the reading as you might have been downloading prior to installation.

Incorrect date setting with regards to when your monthly data download starts.

Not running. If you tend to kill applications you might have killed watchdog by accident so was not running at the time you were downloading.

I think some kill applications allow for you to add other applications to an exemption list, applications you don't want to kill. You might need to check these settings.

Hope this helps you solve your data miss match. :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
the "month" of your provider, is not usually the "month" that you have in mind.

they go by your billing cycle

so reset your data count to match the next billing cycle
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] yani2000:
I'm using Automatic Task Killer and I've also double checked that 3G Watchdog isn't starred.

The moment I installed 3G Watchdog I've also set "Last started on" to 1st July 2010.

Now, I have corrected my quota under: Menu->Set quota Counters... to reflect my providers data and will see how it will go through.

Thx for all your replies!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Ancient_One:
Thankyou for sharing this information. I didn't know that myself. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] yani2000:
I'm back to inform you all that 3G Watchdog is still off target! :(

First it showed 20MB less now it shows 40MB less.

First I thought that it doesn't count 2G, but I double checked and saw that in fact it did took 2G data into account.

Now I'm leaning towards that my network provider is cheating or something. :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Nassi:
Does your provider count your network traffic exactly like 3g watchdog or e.g. 100kb-parts...that would have an impact!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Danwms:
Does any one know how to find out if your provider counts the data in blocks?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] yani2000:
Send them an e-mail and ask them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jonny68:
Is there an alternative to 3g watchdog it is definitely not calculating my usage correctly and this could potantially be very costly for me, unfortunately an unlimited data plan in this recession hit country is like everything else way too expensive so i just pay 69 cents a day for 50MB and if i go over than (which i have done before) they charge you a fortune which is why i use 3g watchdog which incidentally used to run fine on my old HD2 but since ive got the GS2 it's been constanly wrong if i send a text to check my balance which ive just done i can see ive used 41.69MB so far today yet 3g watchdog tells me ive only used 20.69 that is over half so imagine i forgot to send a text to get my balance and just keep surfing the net,suddendly i discover all my credit is eaten up, Meteor don't care they aint in the business of warning people who go over their 50MB daily limit which is why it's imperative i have the correct usuage.

Sorry for the long post but you can see my prediament.

Try Dodol phone usage. In settings, make sure the refresh time is 1 minute (which should be the default value).

Youre definitely not bricked. Pull the battery out, boot into fast boot, wait a sec while it does its thing, then select wipe/restore factory defaults. Then it should be fine. This happened to me 2 days ago. When bricked, the phone won't even turn on. It does nothing, thus the term.
