The problem, I cant get root no matter what I try. Its as if the phone is mocking me. G-free, Rage, VISIONary, all come back with the same results. I cant write to the phone no matter what. Cant downgrade, cant change the version #.

DOES ANY ONE HAVE ANY IDEAS ?????

Is this about a htc glacier?

Yes it is a glacier, sorry for not stating that in my panic. Finally got it rooted with a modified version of the tacoroot method.

Still have the issue of not being able to rewrite the hboot though
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicgraner:
Because you said you used the HTC dev unlock which if you had read was a pretty bad idea. You have now permanently voided your warranty and can't write to the boot partition so whenever you flash a Rom you will have to manually push the boot.IMG through adb. Atleast it seems like you you know how to use it :) although I think if you go through the normal gfree method you might be able to flash the eng hboot, although I'm not sure.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] furydude39:
dealin with it

Out of warranty anyway. I am just waitin for the quad core machines to make an appearance to upgrade, and use the mt4g as a good back-up or possibly use it as my work phone..... also unlocked.

What got me out of my pedicament........tacoroot method modified, had to adb flash a recovery while temp rooted, then flash a rooted rom. That is the only thing that worked, and I can now flash any rom I want and boot up.

My thanks to Coredroid for the way they built the rom, it was the only one that would flush the stock rom out of the phone.
[EVO 4G General] Bargsbeer:
I'm stuck can't decide which ROM to go with, Now that 4G is really up and running in my area, I am no longer using Cyanogen (My favorite) Now I can't decide which ROM to go with that supports 4G I like so many of them, What's your all' opinions on which ROMS you prefer. I like more of AOSP style ROMS over the Sense ROMS.

Opinions? Ideas? Suggestions?
[EVO 4G General] NiMiNuM:
Ava-froyoV9, netarchy 4.1.9 CFS kernal, with Riptides colornclear v8 theme. Smoothest combo ever and everything works.
[EVO 4G General] manoleke:
i would say fresh evo 3 i love it
[EVO 4G General] Bargsbeer:
I take both of these ROMS are 4G compatible?
[EVO 4G General] creyc:
Yep, fresh or Ava for sure!
[EVO 4G General] stangdriverdoug:
I think myn's 2point2 is the coolest right now...im running baked snacks #6 kernel and battery is awesome in this setup.
[EVO 4G General] Bargsbeer:
Thanks for the input I'm gonna spend the next couple of days flashing these ROMS, If anyone else has any opinions please share.
[EVO 4G General] randymac88:
I'm also a fan of the more AOSP-styled ROMs and agree Cyanogen is my favorite but i can't forego the 4g. So, I'm using the latest Fresh ROM with the AOSP lockscreen (just remove the HTC lockscreen and dont set your alarm using the stock clock), launcherpro, and an AOSP theme that gives you the AOSP notification bar and other AOSP-styled looks. Here's a link to that theme's thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=753081

Note: I use V1 and not V2 because I think the bootanimation for V2 is crappy.
[EVO 4G General] jhgti:
Are you running sense or launcher pro?

Evo after my Apple
[EVO 4G General] mikeDCMDVA:
I am running Myn's also. Didn't use any other kernel, and staying with sense, I'm liking it. Battery isn't bad and phone works fine. I don't see any others that I like really...I would like to ditch sense, but I don't want to have to find mail app alternatives and do those other steps you have to do if you run that app to rid sense.
[EVO 4G General] quocamole:
recent ROMs i've tried:

baked snack

evio

myn

fresh

cm6 nightlies

burntdroid

virus

ac

vaelpak

back to evio - fast, stable, nice theme, nice screen transitions (myn's were nice at first but got old and slows things down a bit) and a lot of his work is used across other ROMs. also, another important factor for me is the extra space on internal storage - i have 116 apps all on internal storage with 150mb left!

other:

manup theme

kings #6 bfs kernel
[EVO 4G General] kudosmog:
I'll throw my vote in for Ava-froyov9 ROM.

I used tons of roms, and I like Cyanogen a lot(and am using it now), but as for the Sense roms, Ava was my favorite. Battery life was great, everything worked, and an easy AOSP lockscreen flash and ADW launcher made me feel better =P

I actually had lots of strange issues with Myn's rom and in the end, it came down to which ROM ran my NHL app the best.

If I wasn't playing around with different ROM's right now I'd be using Ava's
[EVO 4G General] TeknoJnky:
ava-froyo v9
[EVO 4G General] radar5:
thanks for all the recommendations everyone. I too am wanting to keep my 4g abilities so am worried about the limited roms as of now.
[EVO 4G General] Bargsbeer:
Today I have been using Frost v2.2.2 if you like AOSP this is for you, The only issue I noticed if I overclock in setCPU too much the phone crashes.

I think I'm gonna go with baked Snack
[Fascinate General] betcmrekoapl:
i had problems playing with dirrk oc kernals, so i ended up having to do the complete odin restore and managed to get the phone back to stock it seemed. but no setting will save on the phone, its like a factory reset every time i reboot the phone. can anyone help? when i did the odin restore i lost root, not sure if that means anything. anyone else having issues like this?
[Fascinate General] PhoenixPath:
You have zero internal memory and the phone is not saving that you have run it.

Find the "FIXED 0.00 INTERNAL MEMORY" Topic in this forum.
[Fascinate General] durakbane:
One of the steps I took with the zero memory issues that finally fixed my problem was to "factory data reset" in the privacy menu. I went from 0.0 to 1.0 gb memory.

BTW, I went through the 0.0 internal memory topic as well, but found that the above reset fixed it.
[Fascinate General] suppliesidejesus:
I wasn't patient enough when I did that to my phone on day 1. I just swapped it out at Best Buy, haha. Since it wasn't rooted at all, it just looked like corrupt firmware.

I will keep that in mind if I run into that issue again.
[Fascinate General] betcmrekoapl:
thank you for the quick responses. i tried the factory data reset already and still had zero memory. im not quite sure how to go about trying the solutions suggested in the other thread without having root. maybe im just misunderstanding what they are suggesting? or maybe there is a way i can root my phone now even with no memory???
[Fascinate General] PhoenixPath:
Meh..

Takes less than 10 minutes, and gets you as close to stock as possible while still being rooted. It's not really monumental or earth-shattering.

I'll be the first to admit I was scared as hell the first time I did it.

Yeah..the first time. You think I actually *learned* from my mistake? Well, I did..I just keep making new, more interesting ones. ;)

That *is* the point of Android, isn't it?

Steps:

Using adb, copy original.mbr (from that thread) to your phone.

flash stock.zip through CWM (you should still be able to get into recovery).

At this point, I diverged from the steps in the topic and restored my original stock+root backup as well)

Reboot, wipe data/cache, delete "databases" folder in /dbdata through root explorer.

(At this point I then did the nandroid revert to stock from the forums, updated, and had a nice functional phone again)

How far are you getting?
[Fascinate General] betcmrekoapl:
ok heres everything i have done and i still have no memory. i used the instructions to get back to stock with odin that came from the sticky on how to do everything. it included putting the original mbr on the phone and a few other things, im not so sure exactly what all it did but i followed those instructions to the t. then i had to use odin to get cwm back and i then used cwm to wipe and then tried to restore a backup. the backup restore didnt fix the memory so i wiped again and reflashed the superclean rom, still with no memory. thats where im at now, im too new to be comfortable doing much in adb without detailed instructions
[Fascinate General] betcmrekoapl:
ok i understand your instructions i think now, but i cant get the mbr on my phone using adb because i lost root. thats where i think im stuck
[Fascinate General] betcmrekoapl:
ok now ive got root back it seems but i cant do the adb thing it says to do for the original mbr. it just says "adb: not found" after i type in the cat /sdcard/original.mbr > /dev/block/mmcblk0 part
[Fascinate General] PhoenixPath:
adb is part of the root zip you used earlier. Just go into the folder you ran start-root.bat from. Right-click on the folder/command-prompt here, should make it so you can use adb:

Adb shell

I just got my replacement phone thru HTC and I was returning my current N1 to stock. I had CM6 installed and I rooted my phone without Unlocking it. My plan was to reinstall the stock recovery and go back to a stock unrooted Froyo.

A bunch of stuff happened and where I'm stuck at now is that I have a stock recovery. And my phone has an incomplete OS. (When it loads it just Force Closes everything.)

The last thing i flashed before the OS stopped working was: Update-Passion-Full-FRF91.zip

I tried flashing in fastboot. idk what else to do?

I'd like to either have this go back to stock like i wanted or at least get back to having RA Recovery so i can recover my nand

Please get back to me as soon as possible.

I got mine to stock and successfully returned it to HTC for a swap without any problem using fastboot from the link above. I didn't flash it to stock 2.2 I only flashed the room that it came with from factory (really old one ERD79) and HTC didn't care.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexxxcore:
yeah i tried doing that first. but i kept getting failed verification errors
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstang2006:
just flash RA recovery via fastboot ( if you can, I dont't know if it will let you since you don't have bootloader unlocked)

Or try using the PASSIMG.ZIP method

[Captivate Themes and Apps] ondrayuh:
When I connect the USB cable that came with my Samsung Captivate to the computer, it says that it has not installed successfully and does not give me any other message but to check with the device manufacturer. I have looked through a few forums already and trying to find an answer to this has been difficult. I am very sorry if this is a repeat question/concern.

On that note, if repeat or incorrectly categorized forum topics are such an issue, then what's the point of the forums? It's bound to happen. I have never seen a forum so strict before. Sometimes errors are made and not everyone has days on end to search through the entire backlog of forum threads to find an answer to their question...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dave the Knave:
Have you completely uninstalled all device drivers for the phone, rebooted your computer, and reinstalled them?

You did this on purpose. You know you posted a question in the Themes and Apps subforum. Your title even starts off with [Q]. Come on now, you're asking to get yelled at.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vballrkc:
Hey guys, I got the g1 when it first came out, and i rooted it after having it for about 6 months i think, well i've had the vibrant for about 3 months now, and i'm starting to wonder if i should root? I was wondering if there's a list somewhere that says what a rooted vibrant can do? or if one of you amazing people would just make up a list real quick. I know the reason i rooted the g1 was to get multi touch, tethering, and apps to sd. Since the vibrant does all that, and has the 16 gb internal, i was wondering what the draw is to root the vibrant...thanks guys.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichu_9:
Well if the vibrant the way it is, is working out for you then there is no point rooting. If you need more from your device like wireless tethering, make full backups of your phone incase tmobile comes up with another OTA update and bricks your phone or you want to remove some of the bloatware like Avatar or Media hub. Then head over to the Development section, start reading through the Vibrant Bible.

Hope this helps.

"_Burst_'s animated transitions"

Does anyone know where to find this in a flashable zip?

The animation is present in Lowrider's Theme, but I don't want the whole theme, just the animations. Really cool stuff.

thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mizzos4:
Install 7zip if you haven't yet. Use 7zip to open both theme zip files. From the lowrider theme, goto /system/framework then select framework.apk and right click "open inside." Then go into /res/ and you should see the "anim" folder. Open your recipient theme the same way and delete the "anim" folder. Then just drag/copy the "anim" folder from the donor theme into the "res" folder of the recipient. Once done, recompile and close the archive on the recipient theme by clicking the "folder icon with the green up arrow" until you're out of framework.apk. Exit out of 7zip and load your "modded" theme file onto SD root and flash away. I did this transplant with the MattedBlues Smooth Sense theme and works great. Thanks to Stale Bread@SDX for the instructions.

So i had to fix the SPL on the mytouch because i kept getting the Fastboot Remote Not allow, So i did the SPL Fix and rebooted and i had a black HTC Magic screen, Got some progress then it said to throw a rom on there but i couldnt get to recovery, i try to flash a recovery and i get remote signature verify fail. So i tried flashing the SAPPIMG again and it is stuck on unzipping, Rebooted again and tried to flashboot boot recovery.img it transfers the recovery and reboots and stuck ad the black htc magic screen again.

Well i made some progress i can flash recovery and stuff now but it wont boot to recovery, i got the recovery to flash successfull but for some reason when i hold home and power it sits at the magic screen

As of right now i have

SApphire PVT 32a eng s-off h

hboot-1.76.2007

cpld-13

radio-6.35.10.18

Well i think ive done everything to this phone............ would be nice to figure somthing out. Been working on it since about 10AM this morning and i got nothing, does anyone have a fix?!

Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks Guys!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] NetrixTardis:
Its bricked. The mytouch 1.2 can only run 1.33.0013 spl and the 2..x radio. Its a hybrid hardware. 32a board with a 32b radio.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] supercobaltss:
I can flash a new radio on it and a new SPL on it, it takes that when i flash it
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] NetrixTardis:
To root the phone you need to use the ENG spl 2010 flash your custom recovery, then stock radio and spl. After that, flash ROMs thru recovery. You can not use any other radio/spl at this time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] supercobaltss:
I think i bricked it now..... it stuck on a 0009 SPL and i cannot do a sappimg it wont unzip and i cannot flash a different spl it does the signature verify fail
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Does your phone have the 3.5mm jack? Are you sure you've got a 1.2?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] NetrixTardis:
Well, If your phone still turns on and your have a working goldcard, try the ENG 2010 SPL from the Magic SPL thread. once you are back down to 1.33.2010 SPL and 3.22.x radio, fastboot your custom recovery, flash stock mytouch 1.2 radio then spl.

At that point, you won't have any OS tho. so, go into recovery, wipe all (but NOT your SD goldcard). Then flash custom ROM+gapps (if needed)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
What is your fastboot info RIGHT NOW....
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Remember that if you have a MyTouch 1.2 (with 3.5mm headphone jack) you MUST have the following AFTER you flash your custom recovery.

Radio: 2.22.23.02

SPL: 1.33.0013

So use the engineering SPL (2010) and 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' with a Amon_Ra 1.7.0G or Clockwork Recovery for MyTouch devices (NOT MAGIC).

Afterwards reboot to your recovery by holding HOME while booting. If you can boot into recovery then flash your stock spl (1.33.0013) back. Then flash your rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Tony2.0:
I had the same issue the other day while experimenting on my mt3g 1.2. What worked for me was using adb to push the stock mt3g hboot and radio and then rerooting my phone. You can download the files you need from the unlockr.com web page and skim his how-to for android in the unrooting section. Hope this helps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Darklordzim:
does it still boot into fastboot, hboot, or recovery?

if it boots into fastboot, hboot, or recovery you are not sunk yet. you will need the "official" sappimg.zip or .nbh on your gold card, but it should go through the steps and re-image it.. this will get your phone back to stock.

are you using a Tmobile MyTouch 1.2? or are you using a Rogers Magic?

the files will be different as the hardware requires differnent drivers.

there are many links on this site, or theunlockr.com that will get you the correct files you will need. make sure you check the md5 sums on anything you download to make sure its not corrupted before trying to flash it.

hope this helps.
