[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Edubyah:
Hey bud you need to move this discussion up to the sticky thread about the same topic a few posts up Binary will be over here to smite your post down in a minute.

You know if that other thread showed up in searches this wouldn't happen so it's probably not your fault.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Yeah, what phone do you have? I'm assuming it's not the 1.2/Fender.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] guntcent:
ok guys can you answer these questions?

1. phone is rooted with universalandroot. ill unroot it, but how do i get the rom back to stock 1.6?

2. I have no data plan for mytouch 3g 3.5mm. i use wifi, can i still download and install the update?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Edubyah:
I have a nice Gingerbread themed ROM I'll upload for you that's the stock 1.6 just themed. You don't know how long it's going to take ?(could be 2/11/11) If you want I can even send it to you unrooted.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] offdutyninja808:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/

Use this to go back to stock 1.6. I literally just did this.

The only thing I will add is instead of holding volume down + power (which is recovery), hold back + power to get into fastboot. Press volume down then press mouse. Tell it to update and whammy.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shawn1224:
This will be nice to play with while I'm awaiting the arrival of the Motorola Atrix. Hell, I ditched T-Mobile a long time ago so I definitely won't be expecting the update.

As soon as somebody gets the download, be sure to provide the community with a system dump so we can get some decent ports going.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kpetrie77:
Arrrggh! You're killing me! :D Much respect for you guys and what you do on a daily basis.

Surprised I still haven't seen this one posted yet:

they txt the dl link 2 me and isnt workn either, screw tmob!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
That's not the download link, its just the link to the announcement.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mistere372002:
TMO states you have to have a active data plan to receive the update. IF you have a active data plan you can receive it over wifi.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Where did you see that?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] guntcent:
would be nice. pm me the rom. and instructions on how to install without it rooted? vthanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
I think that you need to clarify what you mean by "unrooted" because...

You have to have root to install custom roms.

The only thing that I can assume you are referring to when you say "Unrooted" is stock rom and kernel without busybox or superuser installed. But to install any rom you have to either flash it via goldcard or flash it via custom recovery (which means you need root).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] offdutyninja808:
I spoke to a rep today... they "prefer" you to do the update via data and not wifi.

Its probably just a tracking measure. If you do it on wifi it goes to an ip.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mistere372002:
From the official statement from tmo.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mistere372002:
I have a statement to make, unrooted, does that also mean a stock recovery? When I flashed back clockworkmod recovery still exists, will a person need to have stock recovery reinstalled?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] C0dy:
I would imagine it would have to be 100 percent stock. There is an Sappimg that gets all of that back for you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mistere372002:
Thanks Cody! I answered the question after reading about mtg original update issues. Thanks fir the link.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] offdutyninja808:
What exactly did you flash to?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Edubyah:
You do know Universal Androot will remove SU and un-root also. Leaving you with a completely stock build but with a custom recovery. So basically you wouldn't have root but you can still flash a custom rom.

If anybody using Binary's DE-ODEXED Build would like to have my Gingerbread Theme here it is and I have included Universal Androot so you can un-root if you think it's necessary. I am not. I already received my notice of update today so I think I'm good with stock w/root. To use the theme you need to be on Binary's DE-ODEXED stock ROM flashed on top the stock ROM and booted up to verify you have no problems. Enjoy and maybe we want have to wait around on Donut much longer. NexDonuts Gingerbread
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Edubyah:
He couldn't have flashed the SAPPIMG it would replace recovery too.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
If by notice your referring to the mass text message T-Mobile sent out, that doesn't mean your good. I received it running CM 5.0.8 and there's no chance in hell I'll be getting it without going back to stock.

Not saying your wrong, as I'm pretty sure your right since your running stock just with root, but I don't want people running such and such ROM to think they will get the update just because they got the text.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Edubyah:
No your'e right I thought about this and realized you have to be on the stock recovery or the update process will stop after the first time it tries to access recovery. So I put the stock recovery on my sdcard in the clockwork folder where Amon-Ra is supposed to be renamed it to RAxxxx.img and now I can switch between stock and clockwork recovery at the touch of a button then unroot with UniversalAndroot and I'm 100% ready for any stipulation. Hopefully this works......If it doesn't there's always XDA.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mistere372002:
Yeah that's right, I nand my back up of stock and did not flash the recovery. So I flashed the 2010 Eng hboot and flashed the original Tmo sapphire.img so its all good now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jeffakajeff:
This is very exciting!

Wonder if they did a better job putting this together than they did for the other Mytouch. (I d'ont have an original, but all I hear is whining about how bad it is :) )
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] budney:
That it is! Patiently waiting for the download.

I don't think the update would be pushed out if they knew their were major issues with it. I don't read too much into all the whining these days, most of it is unjust IMHO. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jeffakajeff:
lol, so true.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] budney:
I am so surprised no one has gotten the update yet???
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Same here. People have probably gotten it, just not the right people.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Edubyah:
I've seen two posts saying they got the update but they weren't anyone we will be getting a system dump from. Over on T-mo forums by the way.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] budney:
I saw one post over there this mourning, but it was a joke. :-(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mistere372002:
No one from xda members that is.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] MasonGL:
a

Yeah, haven't gotten the notification yet, seems like t-mobile really rolls out the update about 5-6 days before the deadline. In this case Feb 1st
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] budney:
Looks like the update is starting to roll out, yay!!! :)

Can someone post or link to what you need and what to do to use logcat properly to get the updates? :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
You don't need logcat to get the update. The logcat is so that we can get the location that the update is coming from so that we can get the actual files for development purposes and for people to manually update.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] budney:
WOW, that was poorly written on my part. lol

I understand what a logcat is for. I and possibly others who have never run one would like to know what is needed to run one, and where and what to look for so others don't have to wait so long for the update.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gader:
What about checkin code *#*#checkin#*#* (*#*#2432546#*#*).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Edubyah:
I just did the "checkin" ...LOL..HA-HA..It said checkin success update available and when I touched it took me to market to update my apps.LOL
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kpetrie77:
I suppose manual checkin technically works - just not until Google allows your "wave" to update. Until then, you will look really, really obsessed with getting a software update to a cell phone. ;)

budney - download a logcat reader from the market. Won't need to use it until we receive an update notification. Hit accept and open logcat before you do anything else. Looking for the line that has the android.clients.google.com link for a .zip file, should be towards the bottom.

If you miss the link, you can also copy 6db5d4965a64.OTA_Sapphire_TMOUS_3.56.531.1-2.1.0.531.4_P2_release.zip from your phone's /cache after it downloads (but before you install it) and upload to one of the file sharing sites for the rest of us.

Kind Regards,

Kevin

(P.S. You won't look so obsessed if you save it to your contacts, call it, and then click Edit number before call from your Call Log everytime you want to checkin after that.)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jeffakajeff:
I'm surprised at the lack of update talk, considering it has been a few days.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Edubyah:
Nobody's got it yet?

Evidently if you know what adb stands for you're on the update last list. Were all on a list at Google or something because nobody with an I.Q.higher than their shoe size has got it that's for sure.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] budney:
lol... very true! Once we get the ROMS the forum will be buzzing. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] offdutyninja808:
Are we getting punked?

The funny thing is that when I received the text about the update last Monday, the 10th, I went home and had a prompt for download in the system update tab. It failed. It wasn't till then I found out that the OTA wasn't to start till the 12th.

Weird, huh?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ericmd:
my daughter got her update. it says 2.2.1. seems a little faster. it was never rooted.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Edubyah:
Doesn't need to be rooted to pull the update for everybody else or run a logcat.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ericmd:
im a noob. but i will pull the update if you show me how.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] budney:
It is too late for you to pull it. The update needs to be pulled before you start the install.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] stewdk:
I believe the correct filename from rrrichw's pic on the other thread is

6db5d4965a64.OTA_Sapphire_TMOUS_3.56.531.1-2.10.531.4_P2_release.zip

EDIT: FYI the difference is a single period
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
If you already accepted the update then it's too late.

You MUST pull the update from the /cache directory with adb AFTER you first recieve the prompt to update. If you accept and it installs then it's too late.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kpetrie77:
Yes, that is the file name from the photo for the mt3g 1.2. Will assume the Fender package has a different hash and build number in the file name but is still going to be in the cache folder (/cache) ready to copy to your SD card.

Kind Regards,

Kevin
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ezterry:
If that is the right filename:

http://android.clients.google.com/p...re_TMOUS_3.56.531.1-2.10.531.4_P2_release.zip

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Enxu:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jeffakajeff:
i am in the process of trying :)

will update shortly
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Enxu:
Downloading now. I think I'll give it a try. If it f*cks up, I'm due for an upgrade anyway. (Ignore my signature, I unrooted)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Edubyah:
What's the correct way to use this? Rename to update.zip or SAPPIMG.zip recovery or fastboot?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jeffakajeff:
If you wanna wait, I'm like 90% done
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Enxu:
cool, i'll wait it out. And yeah, do you rename it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kpetrie77:
You know. I tried that once I sorted out the filename from the photo... Didn't work. Sorry guys, will try harder next time.

Edit: I had been trying at /ota/tmobile_opal/ and not sapphire. So disgusted with myself... o_O

Thank you for the link Terry! Once again you made a lot of folks on XDA happy today.

This is the correct package for mt3g1.2, flash away. Need the fender package now.

Kind Regards,

Kevin
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jeffakajeff:
I renamed to update.zip, booted into recovery (home and power, once it loads, home and power again) then wipe and flash :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kpetrie77:
update.zip

Use recovery to flash.

KK
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jeffakajeff:
All went well, is now booting :)

We have an update! :)

Runs just great, So far no problems.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] budney:
Yep looks like the 1.2 update.

Congrats to all the 1.2 users out there, flash away! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kpetrie77:
Wow... just like TMUS-32B-Froyo-CM6Remix but with no root (kidding, that is what I was expecting.) Okay, that was fun. Time to tear apart the update file and patch.

KK
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Edubyah:
New Froyo

So far so good but we already knew what it was going to be like now didn't we.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Enxu:
OK, total noob ques here....I lost recovery when I unrooted. 1) Is there a way to flash this without recovery? 1a) Can I install a recovery menu on an unrooted phone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jeffakajeff:
You have a recovery.....press home and power to boot into it....once you see the picture on the screen, press home and power again
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Edubyah:
You have recovery just not a custom one when you boot recovery and see the warning just press home+power again.

This is the biggest nastiest updater-script I have ever seen!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jeffakajeff:
yeah it really is.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Enxu:
:D Thanks, installing now
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] budney:
If only I knew away to search the server where that 1.2 ROM is located at to find the Fender update. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] iTouch3g:
Wow, flashing that took forever. Miss custom roms already. And btw, how many reboots did everyone else get?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jeffakajeff:
You mean random reboots? None here. I did factory reset though.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Edubyah:
Well they haven't patched SuperOneClick, worked first time but didn't install Superuser I had to download from market said not enough space on system which I really doubt but then again it never installed it for me on any other phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Enxu:
It did take a while. After the recovery screen, mine seemed to reboot twice, showing the "install symbol" (box with arrow coming out of it).

Seems to be running smoothly so far.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] iTouch3g:
Kinda wish i did reset before I flashed, but ohh well. And wow it boots pretty quick now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Edubyah:
Bud I really hope they send yours on out I know this sucks. We'll never guess the name of the fender just like we would never guess this one. Maybe it won't be much longer.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gilbertbold:
Give's me an error :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Edubyah:
If this gives error the one Google sends will too. What's the error?

BUDNEY-LETS COMPARE THE SAPPIMG'S FOR FENDER AND 1.2 AND TRY A LITTLE PEEK+POKE I BEEN TRYING BUT I DON'T HAVE THE SAPPIMGS TO COMPARE .
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] iTouch3g:
I have another problem now. I don't have factory reset option. Unless it moved but I thought it was in sd phone storage tab?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Edubyah:
Dude you mean you didn't wipe in recovery when you flashed?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ezterry:
I know this is a little dated.. but since some fender/1.2 users might read this and make a more visible topic.

The conclusions of many people that tried is you can use the new radios 2.22.27.08 and 2.22.28.25 on the fendor/1.2 HOWEVER you must use it with the old ebi0 kernel. Not the new 2708+ kernels that only work on 32b devices.

If you are on a rooted device you can even use my update.zip to only upgrade the radio:

update_2.22.28.25_S.zip // [size=+1]mirror[/size]

md5: 2e384ab42da375458fdb135063b7536b

(Continue to install roms/32b/ebi0 kernels as usual)

The previously released radio image is identical to the one in this OTA.

To my knowledge (and now that you have an official kernel you can check) you do not get any additional ram and thus do not need a new kerenl. if you do its from a very different memory bank and we need to code specially for it)

If you want to check before and after upgrading (as root) run:

cat /proc/iomem

and I'll see if there is a difference

also

cat /prop/meminfo

MemTotal is the actual total memory (in a human readable format)

Of course when everyone sneaks out of the sapphire section and tries to pretend their phone is not a 32a sapphire with audio jack but a 32b dream and tries to use a ram hack only for 32b devices.. it fails.

Thus why I have the warning at the top of the 2708+ thread in the HTC Dream section.

PS. You can (if you find a way to install it.. I've got no safe installer of it) also use 1.33.0013d .. it won't gain you much on a fender/1.2 however: since most of its hacked feature set are aimed at the HTC Dream.. however it will unlock fastboot erase.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jeffakajeff:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jeffakajeff:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] effdee1121:
so is this the file to manually update my mytouch 1.2?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Edubyah:
Ezterry how much trouble is unlocking the fastboot erase in our spl's?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ezterry:
you have an SPL other than HBOOT-1.33.0013?

Besides that one there that has some features that none of our engineering SPLs do I don't know of any SPL that needs fastboot unlocked where it won't be safer to just install a eng. spl.

And dealing with the disassembler to figure out how to hack the file is a pain.. even when you have an idea what you are looking for (and that requires a great deal of time.. but as all the SPLs are from similar source code I can cheat some.)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Edubyah:
SuperOneClick works first time!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Edubyah:
No. I was only asking if this was something one of us could try.

I figured you were a very very familiar with it. It's not like compiling AOSP from source huh?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gilbertbold:
it it's the same error on the pictures
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ezterry:
The "problem" is I packed it as a raw image not in the update.zip .. so either you need to temporary install a eng SPL (I believe you do so while rooting I won't know the steps to safely do so as well as those that own a fender) or need to make the updater.zip .. preferably in a way that not all the dream users start using it over the safer fastboot install method..

i could make a fender/1.2 only update.zip.. or better yet one that only allows 1.33.0013->1.33.0013d (that way dream users or 32b magic users can undo a 1.33.0013 install)

Edit: oh and if you are wondering about the unlock 1.33.0013 always had fastboot erase available in ruu mode but only allowed erase of cache

so just nop out the assembly versions of:

if(mode != "ruu"){

<show error and return>

}

if(partition != 'cache'){

<show error and return>

}
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Edubyah:
You know what's strange is I have had an emergency situation and placed the flash_image executable on my sdcard and flashed a custom recovery when I was trying to unroot and keep my themed donut build. I ended up using the sappimg and going totally stock but I was amazed that putting flash_image on your sdcard worked like that really saved my behind if you know what I mean.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Edubyah:
Do you need help? Did you unroot using UniversalAndroot? Do you still have a custom recovery what's the problem and we'll get it fixed? The picture? What you missing AmazonMP3? You probably need to fastboot the SAPPIMG.zip then update but remember to wipe in recovery BEFORE you apply update it makes a big difference.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kpetrie77:
Factory data reset location

Sad story really. Factory data reset wasn't paying the rent and got evicted from SD card and phone storage settings. Now living under the Privacy settings bridge in a cardboard box. All because it couldn't be content with donuts and blew the the rent money on a frozen yogurt habit.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gilbertbold:
where i find the SAPPIMG.zip and how i can run im on the oem recovery mode?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Edubyah:
The error your getting is <name of error here>. If it's part of the assert check your'e gonna have to use the SAPPIMG.zip in fastboot not recovery and you need to go HERE first and try that if it doesn't work and you think you need a goldcard get back to me I have an easier way.

This is the easier way if the instructions in the OP don't work for you (you think you need a goldcard) Goldcard Alternative
