I can still get Into HBOOT and FASTBOOT but I can not get Into the recovery menu and the phone will not load pass the MyTouch 3g screen.

How can I flash a new recovery img via hboot?

[What I "know"]

My understanding is that I have a Shipment SPL aka "Perfect SPL" with Security on which means I cannot use fastboot.

I also get a "Main version is older. Update failed" when I try to down grade and unroot.

[My Goal]

I want to change my SPL to a engineering one, unroot and get back to stock.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Your going to need to make a goldcard, which means you will need a phone that runs Android. Any phone running Android will work. You can use the guide from here to make it. You'll only need the other phone for Part III steps 1-5 from that guide. Once you get the goldcard made, put this file on it, boot into hboot and flash like you did the other sappimg. That will get you the engineering SPL. Then from fastboot, run this command:

fastboot erase system

Then, put this SAPPIMG on your regular SD card (or you can replace the other sappimg on your goldcard) and flash it from hboot. Hopefully something in the system partition is corrupted and the wipe will fix it so that the sappimg can write the new system properly.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] longhorniii:
First off

THANK YOU DonJuan692006

for all of your help.. I would love to make a gold card because I think that would solve all of my problems but I don't have access to another phone that runs Android that's why I have not tried that yet. I have no way to make a gold card. I have extra SD Cards but no other phone that runs Android to complete It and my phone will not allow me to do any of that at this point. What else can I do?? Is there any other way to make a gold card?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] longhorniii:
I will have access to another phone that runs Android In a few days but until then I am stuck.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] longhorniii:
I have now made a gold card, got the engineering spl Installed and then tried to Install the other file and It gets stuck on system unzipping while updating and then reboots. what can I do now???
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Were you able to do the fastboot erase system before trying the second sappimg?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] longhorniii:
No I was not able to do that. I have done alot of reading over the last few weeks and I still don't understand how to enter commands In fastboot. So thats why it didn't work?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
That was kind of the point in flashing the engineering SPL. All you do is download the AndroidSDK kit. Extract it to somewhere you can find it. Inside of that folder will be a folder called Tools with the fastboot.exe. So you just open a command prompt from there and do the command in my other post.

So, if you were to extract AndroidSDK to the root of your C: drive (as I did), you would simply open a command prompt window by typing "cmd" in either the run box on Windows XP or the "Search" box in Windows Vista and 7, and then type

cd C:\AndroidSDK\Tools\

Alternatively, if your using Windows Vista or Windows 7, you can navigate in Windows Explorer to the Tools folder and launch a command prompt directly from that folder by holding Shift and right-clicking. There will be an extra option in the menu "Open command window here". Make sure that you don't right click on a file, right-click somewhere in the a blank are in the folder.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] longhorniii:
Ok, I understand. I have AndroidSDK Installed. Needed It to make the goldcard. I understand how to do It know. Thanks again for all your help. I will try again the right way and get back.

Hello everyone,

I have been running cyanogen 7 nightlies for the past week. Today I decided to give a couple sense based roms spin. I decided that I preferred cyanogen and attempted to restore to my backup. No matter what I tried, I could not restore the rom, it kept saying there was an error and go check the log files. I tried several different cyanogen backups I had made. So I reflashed cyanogen, after restoring a previous backup of a sense rom. So after flashing and resetting up my phone on cyanogen, I performed a backup and attempted to flash back to the same sense rom that had worked for me earlier on in the day, because I wanted to update my prl. Now I can't flash from my cyanogen rom to the sense rom due to an error again. Obviously this is a problem if my backups wont work. I have tried flashing from RA to clockwork and back to RA 2.3, but that did not fix the problem. What is going on?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t12icky0:
hate to say it but you could be one of those Rare cases where the nandroid/clockword backup is bad. i would suggst nandroid another rom to see and if you can go back to that one from nandroid you will know the other backup is bad.

Also i would upload the log files here cuz im sure plenty of people can ready your log files(i cant..lol).

Also i read when i was on the HTC HERO that sometimes when you flash to a different rom it does something to the flash portion of the backup(or watever). One time i flashed to a sense rom on my hero to try it out and then flashed back to CM6 and i couldnt flash ANY zip, or backup file. i had to do a adb line on my phone in order to enable to flashing/backups to work again. cant remember the line tho.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
By any chance were you naming them, on clockwork from rom manager, and on pc for amon_ra? If so and they had spaces, you need to re-name them, just no spaces. Hyphens, underscores, and periods are okay though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueGoldAce:
Really? I did just recenty start naming the backup via my pc, where I did include spaces (file manager won't allow this). Ill rename and let you know what happens.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueGoldAce:
That fixed it. Thanks a lot.

I have just rooted my htc hero, and want to change my themes.

Where can i download them from and how to use them

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] dully79:
From the HTC hero themes section of the forums, the section you posted in. Most themes will have install instructions in the thread.

Get ninjamorph and metamorph free from the market, they're easy to pick up the hang of and will allow you to take the best bits of themes and make your own.

Hope this helps 8-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] coxykidd:
Thanks for your reply i have these apps but i apparently need to flash part of the theme on some "guides" do you know what this is about ?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] GZFan:
When you have to flash a theme, you first have make sure this theme is for your phone and Rom.

For example: When you have CyanogenMod 6.1; you can use theme's for CyanogenMod 6.1.

I think you have only rooted your phone. You haven't flash a rom. In that case, you're on stock 2.1 Android, with Sense.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] coxykidd:
Yeah i have only rooted it with androot, am looking to flash a custom recovery and then look for a android 2.3 custom rom :)

Actually Im trying to change it to become like the theme in the link I posted in the OP. That theme wasnt made for my rom (stock) so I'm trying to accomodate myself. Ive used apk manager and ninjamorph too but this one is weird. Everytime I push to system/app it either disappears or the stock green one shows up. I finally got it changed a little but its the older version (idk how it became the older version considering I used the newer version and changed png) and its still mostly green. Is there another apk I must change? Thanks for the help!

Did you try going under settings, manage applications, market...and uninstalling updates...that fixed my vending.apk problems
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rel500:
the newest Market is 2.3.3 make sure thats the one your working with...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] secure_6:
From reading a few other themed ROM sections, lots of people with themed ROMS are seeing their themed market apk revert back you the green market.

One suggestion was deleting the market updater apk, clearing ur updates and cache in the themed market apk, and then re-pushing the themed market apk back to system/app.

This worked for me when I was using gingerRED.

Goodluck.

Here, this is 2.3.2 CWM flashable, neon blue market. It will not update and change back to green unless you want it to. I already skipped two updates and very happy since it didn't change. You might have to reboot a couple of times before it changes and if it doesn't wipe data for market and reboot.

extract apk

change images as needed

optimize images

zip apk (using system option)

take apk and push to system/framework using various methods

the end

ps. all images exchanged are from roms or themes not supported by the stock rom. I get the images to go after Im done but also get hit by a million force closes.

Or will there be one soon? if no to both please tell me I go back to android.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] TheDisneyMagic:
Try phoning from a different telephone number and use a different Windows Live Id when they ask for one (as if you were a different customer) it sounds like maybe you have been black listed as every time I have phoned they have given it to me straight over the phone. Just say you have a HTC phone and don't give a model number.

P.S the activation code doesn't match the live Id so you can still sign your phone in to your old Id after you get a code.

Good luck.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] rexzooly:
We never get to the point about the live ID and I called from diff numbers they first thing they keep asking is proof I paid for it, I have no problem going back to android I just wanted to play about with it before I went back to a nand build of android or maybe a ubuntu when its little more stable but at the same time I just wanted to play with the live services so I already have a messnger but seems

youtube is also been blocked stange :S

The OS is fast it types really really nice and rotaction and keyboard are better on the wp7 then default android but android offers much more of a user friendly system and I don't have to fk about registering lol, more apps and more updates to fix bugs and well android is better.

Or well sad I think I give in a month to see what the ubuntu world will have to offer and see what android nands come out by then 2.3 will be better supported by app market.

Hi all

I don't know, I'm right here, but I think, I have a hardware or software problem.

I bought a 2nd hand HTC TD2 mobile phone and it's good in all things, but it's basicly job is to call other people. I can call other people, but only with headset or free speaking and not via phone at it self. Is this a hardware problem or can I repair it with a new WM image or a software reset?

As second: Can I install the new Windows Phone 7 or only WM6.5?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
To eliminate the posibility of a software issue, do a hard reset.

If it still doesn't work, I have heard of people having earpiece issues that were resolved by tapping on it several times.

I do not believe WM7 will be ported to this device and the hardware requirements are inadequate to handle the OS.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petery:
Hi,

I've had a HTC Hero since they came out, and for most of the time I've had it, it has been rooted and running various roms (Cyanogen, lately).

A few weeks ago I somehow got dust under the screen, sent it to HTC who repaired it and sent it back, with their own 'install' which has:

Firmware: 2.1-update1

Software Number: 3.32.405.2

Now, I'm not really a fan of sense and would like to go back to using Cyanogen mod, however, I can't work out how to root it (well, to get it to a stage where I can flash it with custom roms).

All of the tutorials and step-by-step guides on here and ones I've found on Google don't seem to work any more (I believe they do on earlier versions of HTC's build), I appear to have got as far as 'rooting' it but when turning on with power and home held down I get the red triangle/exclamation mark displayed. I'm clearly not doing something right.

I don't want all the answers spelled out for me, but if someone could give me a hint as to where to look or a clue as to what I could be doing wrong I'd be grateful.

Any help will be appreciated
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkn3000:
have you tried the androot method

http://theunlockr.com/down/UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5.apk

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FJA3L8YZ

make sure that unknown sources is checked

after you have download it and put it onto your phone download astro file manager and then find the androot apk and install then open it then press root

after doing that download to the android market and search rom manager and flash the recovery image that way
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petery:
I had, yes - actually it was the first method I tried.

The first time I ran it, it said 'woot you're root' (or something similar) but on rebooting and holding home and power, I got the red triangle/exclamation mark symbol.

I have since reset my phone to factory settings so I reinstalled it now, again it appeared to root successfully, but on rebooting and holding home/power it just says on the white HTC logo screen and doesn't appear to progress.

Would the easiest solution to be to attempt to revert to a previous 'official' HTC build and then try Androot again? One of these maybe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SummonerOfDeath:
hmmm did you try the goldcard method? was the only method to gain root access on my Google G2 Touch (german HTC Hero by t-mobile)

due to most providers lock the possibility of rooting, this maybe could help you...

look for "Goldcard tool" @ google... sry don't know where i got my tutorial from the days i rooted but i remember it wasn't hard to find(although i was a complete rooting noob these days), so should be no problem to you :)

greets, Summoner

edit: was thinking... the exclamation mark looks like a missing custom recovery, maybe you need to flash one.. i'm using AmonRA 1.0.7.1 (build number correct? don't know) which can be found around here on the forum.

I was a Hero user some months before. I tried official 2.1 update just to root it again. I used this guide: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?3941-Rooting-my-new-HTC-Hero&highlight=root+hero

I used amon ra recovery then. I also ended up getting red triangle. This was solved when i formatted my sdcard and only put the recovery image.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stretch Armstrong:
I had the same symptoms, could only get amon ra installed via rom manager alternative install, it would then allow me to reboot to recovery once, but every other time I would get the red triangle.

I believe the problem was I had two recovery.img files, stupidly I had copied a recovering flash image onto the sdcard, then renamed it recovery.img, not realising its name was then recovery.img.img.

(its been 20 years since I've administered unix systems..and it shows).

perhaps check the recovery img you have, and where it is, and re-try the command line flash, it might not be a rooting issue, hth.

I flashed the rom again because of the laggy phone and now i find that androidify force closes. Currently I am using Lestatious v1.2 :confused::confused:
[Galaxy 3 General] lieti:
All kind of this problems are usually because you have to wipe data before flashing new rom.(Only exception is when you are doing minor updates of few roms). So please try it ;-)
[Galaxy 3 General] Vishnu N S:
Dude, thats the inherent problem with lagfix and data2sd, you need to repeat it to your new ROM each time, unless like already mentioned above, its just a minor upgrade along the same custom ROM path... Please backup your card and apps first, and then flash JPF, then Flash Lestat v1.2 in one package.... Then u can apply your lagfix & data2sd fixes...!! Hope this works !!

I've never really seen the point of lagfix, don't you lose phone memory because of it?
