Alright, I've tried doing this via fastboot through my computer with no luck, I've tried renaming the stock rom to PC10IMG.zip and flashing it via fastboot on my phone. Neither of these methods are working for me, anyone want to hit me up on gtalk? pm me for gtalk.

----------------------------------

I guess I was getting bad files, just dled the stock rom and flashing it now, seems to be working great.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
I'm pissed.

So I can't just restore my phone to factory settings or something?

I have to jump through 80 hoops just to install the update? That's what I get for using the Google Goggles Remover.

Does this mean the OTA wont work for me assuming I ever get it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
So this is done from a computer? NOt the phone? Will a mac work or I need windows?
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
Either way works and if your doing the fastboot method, yes you need to be on a computer. If you want to do the bootloader method which worked for me just get the stock rom download. Rename it pc10img.zip. throw it on the root of your sd card. Then boot into bootloader and your phone should automatically start the stock update. This will wipe your phone.

[G2/HTC Vision]
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
No Image!

No Image or wrong Image!
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
And you have it at the root of your sd card right? The main sdcard folder? Not in a sub folder? Because that worked for me. Also try lowercaps when you name it to pc10img.zip

[G2/HTC Vision]
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
Just tried it with the lowercase letters still doesn't reboot after checking the image...

I get this and some more stuff similar as you can see in the photo above..

"sd checking

loading ... pc10diag.zip

no image"
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mftek1:
I had that problem as well. Double check and make sure its not renamed .zip.zip......... happened to me
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
Are you editing the rom file from your computer or your device? If its on your pc just as the user stated above make sure its just name pc10img. No .zip. if its from your device you need the .zip at the end.

[G2/HTC Vision]
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
In astro the file just says pc10img (no zip) When I go to rename the file with astro it says .zip is already attached to it. Also the icon in astro is a archive/zip icon so I'm sure that only ONE .zip is there.
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
Name it .zip in astro. Try that.

[G2/HTC Vision]
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
This time I redownloaded the image directly from my phone and renamed it in Astro. This was the same file i orginally transferred via USB.

Now it is actually updating the stock image! Thanks for the help...

Now I still lose all my settings (although I made a titanium backup so I'm wondering if that will restore everythign). Plus I have to flash the OTA still and attempt to regain root access... Hate starting from scratch every time... but at least I should be able to have the update now.

Lesson learned: Don't download any apps if they appear to edit the system folder. This would have been avoided with a simple app warning... in my eyes thats pretty irresponsible, if not malicious.
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
Good going. Glad to help.

Hmmm, running into the following error

"E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip

(status 7)"

while trying the direct OTA update mentioned at MoDaCo below. It looks like it's failing at the system verification phase.

"You can also grab the OTA directly from here, put it on the sdcard as update.zip then apply it by turning on your device with 'volume down' pressed, selecting recovery, pressing volume up and power when the icon appears onscreen and selecting 'apply update zip'.

P"

The link is to e4aaacea73af.OTA_Vision_TMUS_1.22.531.8-1.1.19.531.1_release_signed.zip

Did anyone else run into this? I'd really like to get the OTA installed without wiping all of my settings. Not a very nice side effect of applying the goggles remover. haha
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
Yeah I had to wipe all my settings.... had i known I would have dealt with my Goggles. All in all this update took me about 4 hours. That's 2 hours figuring out how to go back to stock, and 2 hours trying to get my phone back the way I had it..... even with titanium backup it took a while.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Davidion:
Yeah I have My Backup Pro and used to back up everything, application apk/data, and all data files.

If nothing else works, I'll do the wipe and restart; hopefully there won't be too much random bits of data lost.

I assumed the risks when I futz around with the firmware/OS like this, but it's been a while since I got a real brick wall dropped in my way. haha
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
I have mybackup pro also. I use both, but restored with Titanium based on user consensus. I'm glad that it kept most of my LauncherPro settings, but I'm having to go through fixing minor things. And all my widgets had to be restored.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ilovecoffee:
Hello,

OK I am about to wipe my phone, once I do this I will be back to stock and receive the OTA from t-mobile right?

I know they have not sent the OTA to me yet because my wife's phone is stock and she has hot gotten it yet.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
No need to wipe your phone.

The only reason you'll need to restore the original image is if you edited system files using Paul's Google Goggles remover app.

If you did this.. even doing a system restore the old fashioned way won't help you.... you gotta do it the hard way.

1) Download the original image directly to your phone.

2) Using astro, locate the file (in your download folder on the sd card) and rename the file "PC10IMG.zip"

3) Move the file to the root of your sd card. (sd/)

4) power off your phone. Power ON your phone holding the volume DOWN button to access a white screen aka fast boot.

5) You're phone should find the pc10lmg.zip file automatically and scan it and reboot a few times in order to give you back the stock version of Android you had before Paul gave your phone OTA AIDS. Remove PC10IMG.zip from your sdcard.

Now you can recieve the OTA... or better yet update manually by renaming THIS file "update.zip" and placing it on your sd card and booting into fast boot again and (by using the volume buttons to move up and down) selecting restore.

OTA aids :D

Hi sinister

This is what I am planing on doing but it will delete all my aps right? that's what I meant by wipe my phone sorry if I didn't word it correctly. I just backed up all my apps. should I take out the sim card too? Thnaks for the quick reply -greg
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
All my apps were deleted ... I had to restore them (one at a freaking time!) with Titanium backup... all 81 of them. But most of my launcher and homescreen settings were saved.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ilovecoffee:
DONE!!

Thanks for the help everyone. it took me a couple of times to figure out that it somehow got renamed zip.zip so I removed one of the .zips, started phone with volume rocker and it worked. I used the mybackup app and it looks like it automatically restored most of my apps.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ibemad1:
whoops...

How would I restore if say, I deleted something AFTER the OTA and wanted to update in the future?
[G2 and Desire Z General] cparekh:
That's the million ($130) dollar question. I tried re-applying the OTA, and it installed just fine, but the apps that were deleted using Paul's method in Titanium Backup were not restored. Also, trying to downgrade to the original stock fails as well because it won't install an older ROM. We need someone to be able to extract a full post-OTA ROM that is signed so it can be applied.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
^In other words don't attempt to delete any more apps. Just use the disabling method and then use your launcher to hide the apps for good. Out of site, out of commission, out of mind. The space taken up is minimal and the apps can't run at all.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bwilborn:
Just followed the process that is outlined later in Paul's post at MoDaCo (carlito's way :) ) and that process worked flawlessly.

I'll admit I had a bit of remorse after finding out about the ensuing problems with deleting the Google Goggles app, but I think I came away a bit smarter because of it (that and the fact that this forced my hand to finally buy Titanium Backup).

How do I undo update?

I just downloaded the update and I am not happy at all. I was always able to connect to wifi and make calls while connected to wifi. I never had a problem with dropping calls. When I went out of wifi range i.e. leaving my house it would switch networks seamlessly. Now if I am on a call and walk 20 feet from my front door I lose the call. This is cheap. The only thing that I gained was the ability to tether without root. This is too big of a price to pay for the inconvenience of having to wait till my call is finished or hang up and switch networks then call back. I am extremely upset. I gained nothing, as I already had tethering with root, and lost a lot of my old phone. Plus for the first time it swithed me to 2G without my permission, to "save battery" Is there any way back to where I belong. I should have known better when the Tmo reps couldn't explain why I could make calls and had a wifi setting way before update. Please help me undo. Please.

I have backup and I just did it today. If I save my content to my laptop, can I restore back to the backup and then just reinstall , my content back to my phone. Last thing I need is to brick this sucker. But right now I feel like throwing it against the wall anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z General] William76:
Easy Fix

I just turn WiFi calling off. I guess I just don't see the point in it. If I am in a place that has bad reception it usually isn't going to pick up my router either. What am I missing about this whole wifi calling thing. Guess I won't know until I need it right. All of the people are excited for a reason. I have to be wrong. It's just that even my wireless router is receiveing via cable. So what kind of area is going to have internet but no phone reception? Maybe in highly populated deep deep valley between the Rockies? Man it is late and I probably should have waited till tomorrow to embarass myself.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
Or a basement or college dorm. Or a building with thick walls lol... Plenty of indoor places have wifi but ****ty cell signals. Imagine if you have bad reception in your house, you can just put a router in the basement or wherever you want and use your internet signal and never have a dropped call. AT&T (and I think Sprint) sell cell repeaters which are basically signal booster for this exact situation. In NY they sell like hotcakes.... But you're right, if you get good signals in your home and work, then their is no point really.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Davidion:
I also did this and feel as you do. In fact, contrary to a lot of experiences here, with the exception of the time spent downloading the rom, the entire process took all of 10-20 mins. It was pretty quick and painless, except the whole losing your settings thing.

Oh well, time to go put all of my widgets back. lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] JonJace24:
I have a question. I downloaded the wifi tethering apk from googles website. So is the OTA update neccesarry, is battery life improved or anything of that sort. I was temp rooted and now perm rooted after updating Visionarry the other day. So can I just update the phone or do I have to enable all of the google services such as latitude and sky maps and tmobiles bloatware in order for the update to work.

Please reply or pm me the info.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bwilborn:
Indeed, that sounds about right for the ROM update process. With Titanium Backup, I had all of my apps and about 90% of my settings restored in about ten minutes and the phone back to an original and updated state in less than an hour total. Not bad considering it was essentially a nuke and pave.

u r da ****.. I installed the pc10img file.. now Im updating.... wondering is I can retore My root access and oc now...
[Fascinate Android Development] bstarr3:
Have appropriate drivers installed. Odin recognizes the phone in download mode on COM3. Run .tar file from PDA box. Process hangs at step 4, initialization... Have left it for as long as thirty minutes, but it never advances or fails unless I unplug the phone. I may have done something very wrong, because it seems to be bricked, now. Phone -!- computer screen when I try to boot up. Can I still salvage the cwm installation somehow, or do I have to use angel's restore? I'm in the process of downloading the .md5 file, just in case. Thanks

EDIT: tried with a different cable and it ran through in 10 seconds! Sorry for asking a dumb question.
[myTouch 4G General] kryptik06:
I gotta say even with it runnin the new mytouch sense ui and it being on stock settings its blazing fast... very happy I got this instead of the G2. Now I will sit back and wait for root lol
[myTouch 4G General] gaww:
Temp root is available, but you may be waiting a lomg time for permanent root - which may not be possible (see the development section).

Am hoping it is not the case, but preparing for it if it is.
[myTouch 4G General] kryptik06:
shoot they said that about other phones there will be a root maybe not soon but there will be, and this thing run fast enough for me to wait for it :)
[myTouch 4G General] iGoOsE76:
just got one of these bad boys today... and loving the speed and much improvement from the previous My Touch Series..
[myTouch 4G General] kryptik06:
would have to agree with this
[myTouch 4G General] stoneyjonez:
Why does everyone call it the "new" mytouch UI? In case you people didn't notice, it's almost identical to the UI on the Slide. There's nothing new about the interface at all.
[myTouch 4G General] tonyriceroni:
Maybe they didn't come from the slide.
[myTouch 4G General] Arcadia310:
Yeah this phone is really nice. I almost like it more than my G2.
[myTouch 4G General] iGoOsE76:
+1 yeah I skipped the slide too had the original MT3G from there i Switched to the HD2
[myTouch 4G General] kryptik06:
I thought the slide had the default, guts I was wrong. either way still a sick phone lol
[myTouch 4G General] nyolsson:
not a whole lot.. but incorporates parts of sense2.0 - ex. fastboot. (power off/restart power options)

-The recent apps have been extended from 4 static icons as opposed to the 8 apps you can horizontally scroll though when dragging down notification bar.

- my faves gallery has different view options.. list format. (but who uses that)

The 'mysense' ''expresso'' ui skin has definitely been toned down, hold the slide in one hand and the mt4g in the other.. open the app drawer. enough said.
[myTouch 4G General] clivo360:
yeah, this phone is much zippier than my vibrant.
[myTouch 4G General] jmollabi:
tmobile has no 4g..just like I hate it when people call it the iphone 4g..only sprint has 4g..why dont u ask my evo
[myTouch 4G General] aiwapro:
Yes, but their 3G speed is equal to, and sometimes better than Sprint's 4G.
[myTouch 4G General] kryptik06:
U realize they're 4g is slow as fook
[myTouch 4G General] 21productionz:
FYI the IP4 is called 4 cause it's the 4th generation IP. It has nothing to do with network speed.
[myTouch 4G General] nyolsson:
tmo has "4g" where i am.. but sprint doesn't have "4g" here.. but still wants to charge $10 extra.. hah!

anyone reading xda should know neither sprint, verizon, nor tmo have networks capable of 100mb/s. However, TMO's 21mb/s (G2 and MT4G have 2nd gen Qualcomm's with 14.4 mb/s capability) is def faster than sprints wimax "4g" network. at least in indianapolis. i consistently get 8-9 mb/s down.. legit.. thing screams fast!
[myTouch 4G General] iGoOsE76:
firmware update already!!!

for anyone that just got the MT4G today... Are you getting this firmware update already... I got a notification that a firmware is updating ... WTF???

anyone know anything about it?

EDIT: ok just started the phone back up and I see I'm on 2.2.1........ NICEEEEE
[myTouch 4G General] Moorebid:
I had the G2 for a couple weeks, but returned it deciding to hold out for this one (and/or WiFi Calling on the G2, whichever came first); the G2 actually felt snappier to me… this one seems bogged down by something - more so than the EVO 4G did with its version of Sense. Also, linpack's still only getting about 32-33 MFLOPS at 1GHz - same as the G2 at 800MHz. EDIT: Well, it's not so consistent… I'm now seeing 36-37 MFLOPS frequently, but it seems to go back and forth between the two ranges. Regardless, it's still lower than I would've expected (given that the G2 gets close to 50 when OC'd to 1.2GHz).

Still, I have no complaints about the speed of the phone… but its bloatware is definitely more egregious than the G2's.

-Moorebid
[myTouch 4G General] jmollabi:
ur lucky cuz its still an htc
[myTouch 4G General] esincho:
Thats what he's saying. He hate when ppl call it 4g, cause its not. #flameon
[myTouch 4G General] BrandonB1218:
3G and 4G are just stupid buzz words. But you're correct. The MT4G is capable of running on HSPA+, but not on any of the actual 4G networks. Which is why I say it's a stupid buzz word because that's how it's used by the carriers. They say 4G and the public eats it up without realizing it's not actually 4G!

3G = UMTS / 3.5G = HSPA/HSPA+

4G = WIMAX (technically a 3G technology) / LTE (evolution of UMTS) / WI-FI (yes, it really is a cellular technology).

So technically Tmo does not have a real 4G network as they advertise, but at the same time it's faster than UMTS. I have yet to hit HSPA coverage of any kind around here though. :(
[myTouch 4G General] iGoOsE76:
who cares... this suckers fast can't wait for root..:)
[myTouch 4G General] Arcadia310:
Whoever said Sprint's WiMax is 4G is dead wrong. True 4G technology is capable of reaching 100Mb download speeds. LTE, WiMax, and HSPA+ are nowhere near 4G technology. They're actually 3G technology.

I'm after a bluetooth stereo headset that has a screen with caller ID compatible with my Nexus One

I'd rather get one without headphones included as I want to use my own but if they have to be then they need to be replaceable.

Any suggestions?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=645782

Its the Sony Ericsson MW600. I have it and still use in the office after hours. The only thing it cannot do is show the track info on the display. However, caller ID does show. Only negative in my book is the volume slider is touch sensitive and can be picky at times, but works. Bottom line it is compatible and for a unit with FM transmitter built in and a rockin' battery life, I would recommend it.
[Nexus One Accessories] t0ph0id:
Thanks, just what I wanted to hear.

I'm sure I read somewhere though that track info does show?
[Nexus One Accessories] kpjimmy:
Well if there was an update to the firmware I don't have it LOL. I am using it right now and the track info does not work off the N1. However you can read the track info when a song is played using the FM transmitter on the headset. Go fig lol.
[Nexus One Accessories] t0ph0id:
Ah well, ordered one anyway!

£29.99 seemed quite a reasonable price.
