[myTouch 4G Android Development] classicMistake:
I've been running into a roadblock trying the Fastboot method. Maybe someone will have a workaround. First, my setup.

I'm operating with Windows XP 5.1 running JRE v6 Update 22 and recently installed Android SDK in an attempt to successfully make a connection from my phone (HTC Glacier, Current ROM: Iced Glacier v1.1) to my PC via USB 2.0.

Fast Boot and USB Debug are both enabled and though my PC asked to identify drivers for the device (with no success), I've still been able to access the SD Card as removable media via the same connection.

Immediate Issue. In DOS working from the Android SDK directory, typing the command "fastboot devices" fails to recognize my device by not processing a result at all (simply a blank follow-up line). At the time of the nonrecognition, I am in bootloader after having selected Fastboot on my device (and I've had success accessing the SD Card simultaneously). When trying to execute other fastboot commands, I get the response "< waiting for device >".

Assumptive Issue. The appropriate connection is not being made between PC-Phone. Earlier during an attempt to deodex my Stock ROM v2.2.1, I had no success using xUltimate 2.2.1 with errors. xUltimate gave the response "The system could not find the path specified" beneath the "Droid Forums" logo. Again, leading me to believe the connection is absent.

If someone is able to confirm this is my issue, it would solve multiple problems I'm encountering in my beginner-level tinkering. All help is appreciated.

I used this method & worked perfectly. THANKS!

I now have stock ROM & recovery back; now to S=ON and back she goes to Costco for an exchange (menu button creaking bad & FFC not aligned).

BTW, how'd you get that SpeedTest image on there? I've used the app and web site on my phone and don't see a way to get it like that.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] henryblank:
hi - I get the recovery.img to the phone successfully, but when I chose 'recovery' the phone reboots then gives me a triangle w/ exclamation point ..

what am i doing wrong or missing? I get the recovery.img to the phone fine .. ??? Is there a step missing after sending the file ? If I chose to simply reboot I end up exactly on the previous image.

PLEASE HELP!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] henryblank:
This i know my problem, I need the entire 2.2.1 stock ROM .. where can i get this please so I reflash the stock firmware ?

I think this is what your looking for- I just had the same problem- I'm getting ready to DL right now...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] henryblank:
Indeed - I restored that backup and all's fine now, thanks!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Amac1222:
I did this method and it said everything had been sent and received but now when i go into recovery mode i get this: "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command error message". Did I do something wrong? What does this error message mean exactly? I've done some research and can't quite come up with an exact answer for it off of different phones. Any way to fix this?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] daerl:
triangle and !

have tried multiple times with fastboot to flash this, get the send/write/success, but cannot boot to recovery,I get a triangle with!; have searched and tried all I can find, but no go. anyone else notice the "modified" date on the post recovery is october27? phone wasnt released them was it?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] topgun303:
Thanks for the recovery files
[myTouch 4G Android Development] JWhipple:
Once you get to that screen I believe the key combination to be pressed is UP VOL and then POWER.

I noticed the modified date when I put these together as well - no - it wasn't released yet at that point.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] daerl:
thanks, I figured that out :) but I get the "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command error message" too. Ive got about 10 days to figure this out; replacement phone is on its way as of today (bad screen, crooked camera issue) and this one goes back. And thanks to the op for the files.

EDIT: recieved the new phone, went into recovery, got the same error!?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] RangerLG:
The SD card and the Fastboot drivers are two different things. Windows will see the SD card without issues, but you will need to install the Fastboot drivers to see the device at the command prompt.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Thank you so much for this!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] 2012iawait:
i have the same issue what do i do?

it says image not found in terminal

Thanks for confirming that on a new phone mine has the same issue.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] daerl:
Have yet another replacement coming, but spoke to tmo rep who said the replacements are NEW, not refurbs.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Amac1222:
I actually had the same error and asked about it in the forums. Grankin (one of our amazing devs) told me that its what shows up and nothing is actually wrong. I thought I had messed something up by flashing clockwork and then reflashing the stock post ota recovery. Don't worry, all is fine with it. :) If you get it with your next replacement as well then you'll know that that's truly what shows up in stock recovery. Let us know if you receive the same error. (although I'm almost positive you will)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shadowdroid:
has anyone gotten the terminal way to work? i get flash_image: not found and it is on the root of my sdcard someone please help
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mftek1:
Im getting same error message...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
The recovery.img file should be placed in sdk/tools (wherever you installed yours on your pc) to use fastboot method or you will have to specify

the complete path to the recovery.img for example: fastboot flash recovery c:/users/public/documents/recovery.img the op is kinda confusing by stating "put recovery.img where fastboot can find it." Maybe it could help some confusion by updating the op. No offense.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
Boot your phone into fastboot mode (power on while holding volume down, then select fastboot)

Connect your phone via usb to your pc/mac/...

At this point people are also thinking the phone will install recovery, instead of having to open fastboot on pc to flash it with the command below. I know most of us know this but it could be more noob friendly.

fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your phone)

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mftek1:
Okay bro I just did it via fastboot. It said sending.... Receiving...then finished. How do I know if it worked?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
Boot to hboot/Fastboot and select recovery it should give you the little phone with red triangle. If so your golden
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mftek1:
Red triangle with red exclamation point in the middle?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
Yup, your good to go now. That's stock recovery.

No phone just triangle? I may be confused on that, sorry. lol
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mftek1:
There's a phone and towards the bottom of the phone there's the red triangle with the red exclamation point inside it
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
Cool that's what I recalled but of course, I have clockwork on now and can't see it. You should be ready for your return now, good luck and let me know if you need anything else.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mftek1:
Sweet! Thanks bro. Your the shizz!

But I'm not returning lol. I just wanted to make sure I could put back to stock lol... I'm not sure if I want to keep stock or keep root?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
I'm rooted and on stock, there are too many good apps that need root like titanium backup, I don't know where I'd be without it. Its the only way to save my paid apps and games so I can restore them after a factory reset. Which t-mob techs think will solve global warming and poverty. Lmfao

I'm not oc'ed either, I have more problems than its worth. Stock is rock solid and that's what I need. But if your looking for a rom you can't go wrong with ice glacier and team silence.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mftek1:
That's true bro. I never really figured out how to use titanium back up. Lol..

Yeah bro I prefer stock. Its rock solid!

When I permrooted w/ s off the only things I did was.

Remap genius button to search. Move bloatware to sd. And have a couple apps like shootme, adfree, clockworkmod w/ nandroid made. Would that be fine or would it mess up the phone is any way? That's why I converted back to stock right now lol
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
It shouldn't mess up your phone and as long as you have your nandroids, have them backed up on a pc or another fall back in case of a sd failure. You can save it from just about anything thanks to nandroid. I haven't tried it yet but a new ice version hit this evening and its supposed to be all good bt and all. :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mftek1:
Sweet!! Looks like I'm re rooting tomorrow lol thanks alot for your bro! (=
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lalab0y:
nvm..figured it out
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Tennistrb7:
it doesn't work for me. terminal doesn't work becuz it doesn't find the image. i tried fastboot and it almost works but i get send recovery ok blah blah writing recovery FAILED ( remote not allowed) finished blah blah. Not sure what that means

i try to get into recovery and still clockwork. s-off still
[myTouch 4G Android Development] twotonejuggler:
flash_image not found

For those of you who are getting the error message flash_image not found it is because "flash_image" is a program that you need to install. It took me a lot of googling to figure this out, and it should have probably been mentioned in the original post. Anyways if you want to download "flash_img" look it up on the cyanogen wiki. I would post the link, but this forum won't let me.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] twotonejuggler:
flash_image still not working

I finally got flash_image installed, but when I run it I get the error message "error scanning partitions" Not sure why.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
Do you have sdk installed?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] twotonejuggler:
Finally figured it out

If you want to use the fastboot method or the terminal emulator method you must have the engineering hboot installed, which I did not originally. Stock recovery is finally restored :-)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] knotrkr:
Cool thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jjank11:
Man, I don't know what gives. I'm trying to get rid of clockworkmod by reflashing the originally recovery. Similar to what you are doing. I have the Flash_image file and i have pushed hboot over as well. Everytime I fire up ADB and trying to flash the recovery.img file I keep getting error scanning partitions..........This is really starting to get me mad, I want to get back to stock recovery!!!

Can you help me out alittle??
[myTouch 4G Android Development] leonblade45:
Does this mean if I am looking for the stock mytouch 4G post-OTA system, I only need this recovery.img file? It is only under 4mb, how can this completely restore my device to original state (stock bloatware, etc...) that it was right after I rooted it? Is there backup file somebody made with the stock MT4G poss-OTA ROM?

Recovery help

Hey everyone, I'm new the the android scene and I have recently rooted my mytouch 4g and installed Ice Glacier version 1.15.1. I read the forums thoroughly to ensure that I wasn't going to brick my phone and did all the precautionary things as well.

-rooted phone with the perm root

-backed up stock rom

-installed latest version of Ice Glacier

My problem is that although I like Ice Glacier, I prefer the stock rom, but something seems to have gotten corrupted along the way when I try to restore the stock rom. I want to know if this is the place where I can dl the stock rom and install it using recovery mode in Clockwork directly from the sd card just like I did with Ice Glacier. I've read through this forum thoroughly and noticed different ways of the installation process and many people encountering road bumps. My name goal is to get back to the stock rom and still be rooted and booted :)

key terms I've yet to understand

What is OTA?

What does it mean when s=off or s=on?

What is pre and post OTA?

Sorry for all the newbie questions, and thanks in advance!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] EmceeGeek:
i get this after the phone reboots after the flash. i pulled the battery and cut the phone back on and it went back to CM7, not stock rom. what am i doing wrong?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] 30Glock:
Ok I just got mine to work, Now Pull your battery, go into Rom M. Flash recovery, then boot into recovery. your halfway there.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] leonblade45:
OTA stands for Over-the-air update. It was an official update T-mobile had released to MyTouch 4G users that bumped the android version up from 2.2 to 2.2.1 - Most of the perma-root processes using visionary require that you have the v2.2.1 OTA update installed (hence post-OTA, and you can manually grab that OTA update file online). And I have been looking all over for the v2.2.1 backup of the stock MT4G ROM immediately after root, too. Ever since I've been toying around with roms (4 days) I have been noticing there is no PERFECT ROM where everything works. My main concerns are wi-fi and assisted GPS. It seems that my assisted GPS seems to be very very slow at finding a signal before talking to me. Currently using eVil MIUI, I love how it looks.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shortskoolbus:
this is right. press VOLUME UP and then POWER.

you will be in stock recovery.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shortskoolbus:
Is there a flashable zip version of this anywhere out there? I've looked but could not find it. That would be a great help if there were.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] carlos2384:
awesome now I can get mt4g back to 100% stock.. thanks!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
I'm using the xda app and it won't download the recovery, it only tries to open it thru rom manager.

Does anyone have a link or mirror please

I'm working on a mt4g for a friend and I'm trying to get it unbricked, 1st off I only have access to hboot and fastboot.

I'm stuck at where i try to flash recovery.img it comes back as

Failed (remote: partition does not exist!)

Is there some command to access that partition or create said partition?

any help would be much appreciated
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
Is it safe to use this if you used gfree method perm root and flashed eng hboot? Cause I can't revert no matter what I do.

EDIT: Nevermind, is this just for flashing back from clockwork to the stock recovery?

hello everyone.

I would like to introduce a 'XHS' - a service, that users can use for host their mobile system images for everyone, and of course for free. This service will be independent from XDA forum.

The XHS will be available soon.

I'm waiting for our feedback.

Nice Port

Looks like you did well porting this over, it should get a lot of attention.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crisvillani:
Thank you, Sparks , I'm not really a dev but I will try my best :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
I will help here as well when I can, I'm not familiar with 32A, but to this rom in general I'm okay haha and I'll help
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crisvillani:
Thank you the more help the better! :-)

On another note if anyone can help me porting this to the new radio 6. 35

It would be greatly appreciated!

Also if anyone wants to help out with the Rom, please ask I wanna get like a team going so we can keep this Rom alive;-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] delenx:
can it turn off the ext3 on sd or install the rom without sd ext3? THAX:p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crisvillani:
Just don't partition the sdcard, then u can use the built in froyo apps2sd.

EDIT: you might come across some problems with out a partition, basically the launchers and a couple apps are installed on apps2ext on boot, so I highly recommend you make a partition , or else you'll be missing some key apps. If you don't want to use app2ext after wards then go to terminal app type:

Su

sh /system/etc/fr-patch141-BETA.txt apps2sd

Then you should get option to move all data/data apps to SD say no, then if you will get option to move apps to actual native apps2sd and say yes.

OR you can just use apps2ext so u don't have to do all that, and apps2ext is faster.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] delenx:
It is 32A,i hav flashed the rom，pretty cool，however i dont know why the home key havent any reaction when i pressed。

the home key doesnt work？
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crisvillani:
Is there no launcher like adw or launcher pro, if so look at post above.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wolfshadowkd:
Seems pretty cool and wait for NR version and multilanguage support. Thanks :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
It does work actually haha, go into cyanogenmod settings OR spare parts, I can't remember off the top of my head actually but yeah there should be the option for what you want the home button to do, for me its return to default home screen, same goes for the end
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
I can't help you there because mines 32B haha, but IF someone wants to dare and have some lucky and do it then cool haha

I'm already on the ramhack for 32B so no need haha

EDIT: btw you might want to put in the op that you might be able to use the superwipe.zip to flash everything off the entire phone then do the normal wipe twice then flash rom, flash gapps and done haha

Rogers

hey crisvillani

I could not help but notice that you are also with Rogers in Canada and wanted to ask you how did you solve the problem we have with Magics using the old radio (that is a must from most Froyo ROMs these days)?

I asked Rogers 2x (all the possible tier levels) to put me on whatever waiver list they have but they are dumb and I don't want to waste my life waiting on the phone with them when the ban my data because I use a pre-911 radio.

Thanks man!
