Hi ALL! Please help. Thank you!
I am trying to restore my phone to fact default for a girl that I am selling my phone too. I was currently running sense 3.0 with the virtuous rom and a modified radio. Anyways, I downloaded footballs posted PD15IMG.ZIP and put it on the root of my SD card and I tried to do it that way, because that has worked in the past, but now I think I might have bricked my phone, ****. Basically... I tried to do that and it didn't work saying that the update failed because "main version is older"...so I flashed a different backup to try and do it with that rom, but that didn't work either, now I am seeing that it says "s=on" at the top? So can someone please help me... am I doomed or is there a way to fix my phone..?!?! Thanks.

you, sir, are unfortunately **** out of luck. the same thing happened to me and I tried EVERYTHING for like a week straight but was never able to fix it. the problem is that you should have reverted back to the stock radio before trying to flash the PD15IMG. you have a radio lockout, and I dont think theres any way to fix it. its been discussed on another thread if youd like to view it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092170
*edit*the other guy got his fixed so you might wanna try the methods he did, but I was never able to fix mine so I just bricked it

Just a real easy question regarding 2.1 roms and my Hero. Say I need to go to stock for warranty work, would I be able to use say RUU or a Nandroid backup to go back to Stock?
I can't find a easy Yes/No answer and have used RUU but need to use the workaround to recover from the 110 Error that is posted here. Really want to try 2.1 but don't want to do something irreversable to my phone in case I need it worked on.
Thanks in advance!
i also been asking this question nobody seems to give a clear answer...am on my 30 day trial with hero but just in case i decide not to keep the hero how do i go back to stock and unroot...i didnt do a nandroid after rooting just have the backuprecovery.img file...????so do we just run the ruu and thats it are phone is back to stock and unrooted????????
yes 10chars
regaw u are wise guy from wath a read on the forum..
i seen that theres pple having error 110 trying to go back to stock am afraid i might bump into this error when i run the ruu to go back to stock i have decided to return my hero to bestbuy after 3 weeks...wath are the steps i should take to avoid these error 110????????????
i know theres a sprint hero ruu 1.56 at geekfor me from fresh is that the right one??????
Search the forum for Error 110 and there's a thread that has a 100% fix to it, it worked for me. I would need to fastboot oem boot to get my phone back on after a 110 error but works perfectly fine now.
And always always always nandroid backup, I made sure to do it as soon as my phone was rooted and after I get things installed and set up the way I like...

if you want to flash the new recovery and reverted back to the stock ruu then u have to re-root using the same method you used to root in the first place. if you already have root then just flash the 1.6.2 recovery with the same method you used to flash 1.5.2 since from what i've read you've already done that before. if this is beyond your comfort zone you might want to stop messing with roms all together.
Dude go read everything u are asking for is on here ie. Fix for ruu problem, 1.6.2 release logs..... u call regaw a wiseguy i call u a lazy guy who cant find simple information. If ure gonna reply crying just dont, man up and read or leave your phone stock.
I always nandroid back to 1.5, or flash a 1.5 ROM before I RUU
if you updated to a custom Rom, and needed to get it back to stock for warranty issues. all you'd have to do is run the proper ruu, and you'd be set
tanx for the advice guys just ran the ruu and got the error110
ill have digg up and find the solutions on the forum tanx guys
Help...
Well I basically don't know where I am right now
Ive been researching how to mod a My-touch 3G for a long time and im a first time rooter
I'm Trying to get Cyanogen Mod 5.07 Hopefully but... I followed the directions at the Unlockr website not knowing it had different recovery than the ones needed for a CyangenMod
So I still have the old recoveries inside of my SD
I got mixed up with multiple guides about rooting my phone in the first place and there are SO MANY different things to install...
I watched many you-tube videos and now I am stuck at the last step where the new flash ROM boots... my phone just keeps flashing the android logo....
Im really confused and I dont think I know how to backup my phone if it bricks
I got scared and did a wipe on the phone after i gave up on the android logo and pulled the battery out...
I currently have the:
32A Board its a Tmo HTC Mytouch 3g Black
HTC 1.6 OTA Dev Version of Android its called - NO CLUE- : signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip file
No clue what my Radio is and I dont think i have SPL - Where can I find this?
Dont have ArmanRa's recovery installed yet...
Not sure is my SD is partitioned
and the rest im lost...
I'm really sorry for being a bad researcher and I'm emotionally corrupted now facing the fact that I just screwed up my phone ...
If anyone can help me please...it would be the most helpful piece of assurance for me
Bless You and Thank You For Your Help In Advance...
Sincerely, Jason

I have an original mytouch 3g and theunlockr.com's video helped me. Here is the link to the MT3G 2.1 rooting http://http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/ For some reason following along with a video can be more helpful than just reading. Although I do recommend reading.
But once you're rooted, load Cyanogen 4.2.15.1 and then upgrade to 5.0.7.(and flash google pack so you have Market etc...) That's just what worked for me.
Thank You So MUCH...I will be reading this!

Hi...
Well I got my MT3G BACK to CupCake Android 1.5... i unrooted it
Thanks for your Help!
But the wierd thing is that I cant seem to ROOT IT? FUNNY?
I dont know whats wrong but I followed the step and video at unlockr website and it just doesnt seem to work
and tried the androidandme site and their guide doesnt work for me too
Ive formatted my sd and did a factory reset too
I really want Cyangen 5.07 but it seems too complicated for me and I dont want to end up like before?
Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I got through that guide as well, but when it comes time to flash the rom, it hangs at 0% and then gives me error 262. I go through recovery but it still doesn't work. I dont have hardSPL either, is there any way to get HardSPL from bootloader? Also, when i try task 28 in mtty again, i get :
Format start
Fill RSVD information for block 351 to 384
TAG NOT FOUND !!! NOT CLEAR STORAGE !!!
Format end
also, the telus rom you can get from a search.
hm... Thats weird
i cant find the telus rom
I can only find the raw form, and i think you need to cook it or smthn
Anyway, if it doesnt work for you, it wont work for me either, cause we are having exactly the same problem.
It would be awesome if we can Install hard spl from bootloader.
But no1 seems to be able to help us.
We are the only users who are bothering to reply as it seems.
Is it an official signed rom you need or the recooked raws? (Not sure how successful I'll be but if it can help I will see if I can recook them.) As for the official signed rom, I haven't been able to find one myself as of yet.
we need the official telus signed rom
Because we didnt hard spl our phones, we're stack.
So either the official signed rom, or we need to find a way to hard spl our phones through the tricolor bootloader
Any ideas?
I'm stuck at the same with with my Mobilicity Snap. I went through the HardSPL and it said everything was successful but now my phone is bricked because I failed to notice SPL 1.24 still on the tri color screen. I also would like to know if there is a way to use MTTY, some other tool, or get hardspl onto the phone through the bootloader. HardSPL hangs on 0% from the boot loader for me.
Also tried MTTY task 28, task 29, reboot, reflash to no avail.
We all seem to have the same problem, I'm surprised it hasn't been addressed yet.
I guess there's no luck finding a factory rom for the s510 series...?
You guys are braver than me, I won't attempt a flash unless I have an out waiting.
Come one ! Really there is no fix for the file with the bad code ?
Basically I want the phone to go back to the "welcome to android" page at the start WITHOUT losing root. Do i just do a factory reset? Will this get rid of root? Does it get rid of CWM?
I have accounts and stuff that i'd rather get rid of myself so the new owner doesn't have to hassle.
Thanks in advance guys, I want the new owner to start fresh, but keep root in case he wants to start adding roms himself.
EDIT: Can I just do a backup, flash a stock rom, see if it works then delete the backup? this way it is technically a "fresh start" but without any of my accounts, right?
if you are running a rooted rom you can factory reset without losing root
Well right now im running the stock rom but the phone is rooted, does that make a difference?
i rooted my fone a few months ago and all of a sudden it says s-on and it wont let me unroot. wat can i do??
Can anyone chime in? I'm selling the phone in a few hours and I still have my main account synced to the phone, will restoring to factory from the factory rom UNroot the phone? I don't want this to happen. What are my options?
I would just reflash the ROM your using and clear your SD card of personal things. I just did this with my HD2 running Android and it worked great.

Did you do an OS update? If you dont have root anymore why dont you just go back to the start and try your luck again?

The problem is i'm running the stock vanilla froyo rom that came with the phone. I dont have a backup that doesn't already have my main gmail account already synced to the phone.
Should I just download another stock vanilla original OEM 2.2 rom and flash over this one? then delete any backups of my old rom (the original)?
Forget about stock, just download CM7 and flash it

Thats not a bad idea, does netflix work with cm7?
Also I was having problems with a few 2.3.3 roms making my usb transfer incredibly slow, the only roms that didn't do that were virtous (sense) and stock froyo... I dont want to sell the phone with a rom that makes the usb port un-usable...
Edit: Forgive all the questions, usually I would do my research but this is super last minute, all I want is for the phone to be stock without my gmail account synced and still rooted so that the new owner can choose roms as he likes.
You know, I couldnt say about netflix. I was running meXdroid and netflix was fine. I flashed CM7.1 RC yesterday and can not seem to login. Reading comments in the CM7 thread it seems netflix is hit or miss. I have never had issues with USB so can not say either way. Why dont you visit the CM7 thread and read some of the comments.
Thanks a lot for the help. I went with just flashing another stock OEM ROM from THIS thread, and so far so good, I got the ODEX version just because I want to make sure that Netflix works, as it is one of my prime selling points. Not very many android phones can play Netflix, and im certainly going to miss that, aswell as the keyboard.
I deleted all of my old backups, so none of my gmail accounts should be on the phone anymore.
I hope this thread helps someone who is trying to do the same thing, its definitely tricky.
In the end I played it safe, but there are certainly many options out there. Thanks for all the help everyone who replied.
nope i didnt do any update and im tryin to return a fone and i gotta bring it bak to stock

i tried dat but da first link doesnt download
So follow the next steps...it says "OR"
and if done all dat still doesnt werk
Just read the thread...its not very long. If you have questions, postin that thread.
I rooted via gfree method some time ago. Now I'm running the rooted GB image available here. I've also already flashed the latest radio provided by T-Mobile (from the radios thread in the dev forum). This morning I got an update message from T-Mobile.
Will it automatically apply if I download it. I'm assuming it is nothing I'd want but it'd be nice to see what it is and try to figure out why it'd be getting pushed to me? Or maybe it is coming from HTC. Anyway, worried that selecting it will cause a download and unroot my phone.
I wouldnt recommend accepting it. It will unroot your phone!
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
It likely won't install anyway. My wife had my phone when the update notification came though and tried to install it, but it wouldn't go.
She handed the phone back to me with a scary triangle exclamation mark thing on the screen (Is there a proper name for that?).
Anyway, there is an error when you try to install and it won't go, so it's pointless to try either way.
I deleted it and am looking to install a rooted updated version of stock GB.
Thanks much folks. That was pretty much what I thought.
Yea, this happened on my dad's phone.
All you have to do is download this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1384791
Then make a backup of your current stock GB rom in recovery, then full wipe, flash the updated rom, and then restore data from your recovery backup.
Did this on my dad's phone a few days ago and it's working fine.
