If you have US-RC30/UK-RC8 or higher, you will first need to downgrade your phone to a previous version. (Skip these steps otherwise)
1. Format your phone's SD card to FAT32 mode:
* Hook your phone up to your computer using a USB cable and then wait for the notification to show up in your title bar of your phone.
* Click the notification, and then click "Mount".
* A new removable disk should show up on your computer. Right click it and select Format, and select FAT32 as the file system type.
2. Download and unzip the RC29 or RC7 image file. Copy the DREAMIMG.nbh file to the SD card. (RC29 for US, RC7 is for UK)
3. Turn the device power off.
4. Hold Camera button, and press Power button to entry bootloader mode. You should see a gray/white screen with instructions to flash your phone with the update on your SD card. If you don't see that, make sure you followed the instructions properly.
5. As per the on-screen instructions, press the Power button to start upgrade procedure. DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS.
6. After it is finished, perform the restart your phone.

I got to the step in bold. I let it finish and it said press the Action button to continue. I assume the action button is when you click in the trackball, so i clicked it, then i was taken to a screen that had red, green, and blue gradients, as well as a white panel with some yellow text in the red gradient and the text "SERIAL0" in the green gradient. I followed the instructions exactly. Is this normal? and if so, how do I eradicate this?

Trying to downgrade to RC29 using the method in the "How To Root, Flash, and Hack your Dream" thread

Want to lear about flashing - Dont understand the terms

So I want to flash my T-mobile wing, but I barely understand what flashing is. Can't understand your terminology, ......and even though I find some roms, none of them have specific instructions on how to do this.
Thanks in advance for all of you who answer...and I know some will say "search and find" but I've searched and found, but haven't understood.

Wrong place for this post, although there is no clear questions and answers section.
Trust me when I say the information is there.
Definitions:
RUU: Stock Operating System (ROM) that comes with your phone.
ROM: Phone Operating System.
SuperCID: Unlocks the device to allow flashing of non-stock and custom ROMs.
USPL: Allows you to temporary SuperCID your device to enable flashing using a Flash Center Utility in Windows. You cannot use LZX compressed ROMs, and you cannot flash ROMs requiring an SD Card.
HardSPL: Permanently (Well Almost) SuperCIDs your device to allow you to flash any ROM of any type, as long as it is a Herald/Wing ROM. You can flash using SD card, or through a Flash Center. I say it is almost permanent because it can be reversed.
However, for the sake of this, I assume you'd like the easiest and safest way. SO I will instruct you how to USPL your device to allow you to temporarily unlock it. Remember, you cannot use a LZX compressed ROM with this method, or ROM requiring an SD Card to flash.
First things first, you need to download the folder im going to provide you. Save the zip to your desktop and extract it. Now the fun begins.
1. Drag and extract the .nbh file you downloaded from the ROM and place it inside the RUU folder located inside of the MyFirstRom folder.
2. Turn your phone to flight mode. You can do this in the Comm Manager found in your Connection Settings.
3. Next make sure your phone is connected to your computer and you have Activesync (Win XP) or Mobile Device Center (Vista or Windows 7) connected with a green light.
4. Execute the application Herald-USPL (located in the MyFirstRom folder).
5. Wait for it to verify, press Enter. Wait for it to load SPL, PDA screen will go white at about 70 percent. If it doesn't and it hangs on a tux logo with a little command prompt (on the phone, sometimes this happens.) don't worry and just reset and try again.
6.If everything is successful and the PDA screen is white, press Enter and it'll launch the RUU installer application on your computer.
7. Follow the instructions, Press the Update button when it asks you what ROM you are installing. It should show some version number. Press Next, and it'll start flashing. It will say it will take 10 minutes, it'll go faster than that. After it's finished, the PDA will automatically reset to the new RUU.
If you experience any problems, don't panic, Soft Reset your device by pushing the stylus into the small whole next to the volume slider. If the phone goes into an endless reset, don't panic... Hard reset your phone by pressing holding the two soft-keys (keys with lines located above the Windows key and Ok key) while pressing the sylus into the reset hole. Release the soft keys while still holding reset and then release the reset. It will come up with a screen telling you you are being set to factory settings, press the Send key. (Green phone key)

Reinstall your phone's factory ROM. (It needs to be the factory, since you didn't hardSPL, you can only flash signed ROMs from the SPL screen.)

[HOW-TO] Hey Noobs ... Here's help when you think you "bricked" your phone (U.S.)

[HOW-TO] Hey Noobs ... Here's help when you think you "bricked" your phone (U.S.)
Since we have apps now that seemed to have inspired G1 noobs to root and flash their phones without the prequisite of reading the instructions, I hope they might read this to help them get out of the "bricked" situation they often find themselves in. It's simple to do, it's saved my ass a number of times, and it will quickly get you back to a pristine T-Mobile status.
NOTE: This is for U.S. T-Mobile users. Your mileage my vary and it may need to be adapted with different files relative to your country and carrier.
You are not bricked if you can get into the recovery or bootloader just jammed up!
How to quickly UN-"brick" your phone:
All you need are two files.
DREAIMG.nbh
update.zip
THESE TWO FILES ARE FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF PEOPLE IN THE U.S.These can be downloaded at:
- http://www.brentcctx.com/android/DREAIMG.nbh
- http://www.brentcctx.com/android/update.zip
DREAIMG.nbh is the original T-Mobile U.S. Rom.
update.zip is the original T-Mobile U.S. "cupcake" update (signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca)
Download these two (2) files and put them on the root of your sdcard and restore the original T-Mobile rom. You will do this by
remove the sdcard from your phone
put the sdcard into your card reader
put the card reader into your computer
make sure your computer recognizes the sdcard with a drive letter (Windows) or is mounted (Linux)
look in the root directory of your sdcard for any file named "update.zip". If one is there, delete it.
copy DREAIMG.nbh to the root of your sdcard
copy update.zip to the root of your sdcard.
double check that DREAIMG.nbh is spelled just like that (with DREAIMG in all caps and nbh in lowercase)
double check that update.zip is spelled correct and the whole thing is lowercase
safely remove the card reader from your computer (unmount in linux or eject properly in Windows)
remove the sdcard from the card reader
make sure your phone is off
put the sdcard back into your phone
press and hold the CAMERA button
while still holding the CAMERA button, press the POWER BUTTON (red button on the bottom right of phone)
at this point, you should see the phone checking your sdcard, looking for DREAIMG.nbh and checking it for errors
wait until you see "OK" beside all the different items and instructions at the bottom of your screen.
now, press the POWER button (red button on the bottom right of phone) which will restore DREAIMG.nbh
wait until everything has completed.
reboot your phone
your phone will also write the old, original radio back to your phone too and reboot itself
your phone will now boot into the recovery screen (if it didn't, start over with #1)
you should see the triangle with a yellow exclamation point ! (again, if you don't, start over with #1)
Now that you are in the recovery screen, that means your phone has been restored to the original G1 factory condition. Note: you have also lost root at this point, your radio is back to the original and, if you had a different SPL, that's been replaced as well.
While still in the recovery screen, it's now time to update your phone to "Cupcake". This is the OTA version from T-Mobile. It is not rooted or modified. It is strictly the OTA update.
Open up your keyboard and press ALT + L to go from the triangle/! to a menu
For safety sake, press ALT + W to wipe your phone (it should have already occured, but we're being safe)
Now we want to apply the sdcard:update.zip by pressing ALT +S
Wait until the update completes and you see instructions at the bottom of the screen.
Follow the instructions to reboot your phone.
At this point, your phone will update the radio. Be patient and wait for the phone to reboot itself.
Your phone will reboot into recovery again. All you need to do at this point is reboot your phone by pressing HOME+BACK.
You will have to be patient again while your phone boots for the 1st time with "Cupcake". If, after 5-7 minutes your phone hasn't fully booted, that means you have done something wrong. Start completely over.
If at any point during the process you get a warning that DREAIMG.nbh or update.zip cannot be found, that means you didn't copy the files properly. Start over! Put your sdcard back into your computer, check the root of your sdcard for DREAIMG.nbh (that filename is case sensitive) and update.zip (case sensitive as well). Make sure that update.zip isn't named update.zip.zip (that often happens with Windows).
Once your phone has rebooted, you will have to log in again. Your should have your phone back.
I now recommend flashing Cyan's latest recovery image. Search XDA Developer's Forum for the latest. Download and install.
If you still want to try and flash a modified rom, hopefully you have learned from the experience and will be more careful. My suggestion is to the following items, in the following order. Search XDA for the proper thread.
-- DOWNLOAD ANY ADDITIONAL FILES YOU WILL NEED (rom, SPL?, radio)
Now is a good time to re-format & re-partition your sdcard.
In most instances, you will want 3 partitions in this order: Fat32/Ext3/Swap
If you don't have anything to partition your card, get a trial version of Paragon Partition Manager.
Once your card is partition, copy all of your needed files to the Fat32 partition.
Install Cyan's latest improved recovery image next.
Install the most up-to-date radio
If, and only if, the rom you want to install requires a different SPL, then install that.
Now install the modified rom of your choice.
It's a good idea to re-flash the latest radio once again.
Now create an emergency kit !
For future problems, take those two files you originally download from the top of this thread and put them on your sdcard right now ... in the root of your directory. ALWAYS KEEP THEM THERE ! Do NOT rename them (keep them DREAIMG.nbh and update.zip). That way, should your phone ever hit the crapper again, you are fully prepared to get your phone working again anywhere you are without the need for a computer.
NOTE: if you do keep DREAIMG.nbh and update.zip in the root of your sdcard, be careful not to overwrite the update.zip file with a modified rom update. When you want to install a modified rom, just copy the modified rom's .zip file to your sdcard (do not rename it, keep it named whatever the developer named it). If you are using Cyan's latest recovery image, you will be able to apply any update using any .zip file in the root of your sdcard. Update to a modified rom by choosing that rom's .zip file name.

Can we get a sticky please at the very top of the page since this is the #1 asked question everso we don't keep getting this new thread daily, I always kept dreaimg on my phone as a just in case emergency get out of jail free card. Can the op also edit his post to mention that you are not bricked if you can get into the recovery or bootloader just jammed up at the very top of his post

Great. Will these two files also work on EU G1 with RC7 original ROM?

If they flashed the newest SPL shouldn't they flash the Original SPL before the DREAIMG.nbh since I think it downgrades the radio or am I wrong?

That's pretty much the purpose of doing it the way I described. It's less risky to just flash the DREAIMG.nbh and let it take it back to factory condition. It does the SPL & the old radio. There is no need to do the original SPL first doing it this way. It's also the safest for anyone that's inexperienced.

this is a great write-up btw!

Can you post both links to the us rc29 and also eu version rc7 plus the cupcake upgrade since they are differant and flashing roms not meant for your locale could also cause problems

Hey i just wanted to point out... in step 12 part D u put the two files on the root of sd card... then in E and or step 13 u mention to partition the sd card in fat32/ext2/swap.... when u do that it wipes the sd card to put the two files after you partition the card FYI.... the rest is looking good so far with ur guide..

well just tried it and goes thru green mytouch screen then the blue android logo -then just a blank screen with the backlight on. waited like 5 minutes-nothing... maybe it just takes a long time.. idk didn't see any errors and everything completed successfully except wont boot all the way.
**Update - I forgot to do a wipe *doh -- works great ! on mt3g --I did install the nbh from goldcard on first step though as I had 1.33.0006 perfected spl... Nice job on the walk through.

A noob who took the time to read and search and read and search and ya...this worked flawlessly on a week old MT3G.
Followed to a T...was a little slow on the green mytouch screen and the blue android screen but after that its worked like a charm...responsive, no issues.
A big thanks to rjan22, et. al.

Would this be exactly the same on a (Vodafone) HTC Magic? Got one off ebay yesterday and want to try the cyanogen rom. Cheers

you are the BOMB!!! thanks alot now i need to know if now since i have successfully rooted my mytouch can i just update a new rom without nething being affected.. thanks again

the marketplace doesnt seem to work =( everything else works flawlessly

myTouch 3G Step-By-Step Unroot

This is a Step-by-Step fool proof guide to getting your T-Mobile myTouch 3g (32b) back to factory firmware with the ability to once again receive all official T-Mobile OTA (Over-The-Air) Updates.
*Note* There are two files named updated.zip that are both needed. We will keep them seperated by two folders needed at two totally different steps during installattion.The fisrt gets us back to 1.6 and the other gets us the newer radios for1.6...and Yes it works. Files are official....Nay-Sayers!
*Note*
Optional SD Card Format
From the settings menu of the phone, Scroll down to "SD Card & phone storage." Press "Unmount SD Card." Next press "Format SD card." If you go this route you will have to reinstall all media you had on the SD Card, i.e. pics, music...etc
STEP 1
Create a Folder named ANDROID on the desktop. In that create 3 sub-folders. Name the 3 sub-folders in this order: Cupcake, Donut Update 1, Donut Update 2
STEP 2
You need a copy of SAPPIMG.img. It puts the phone back to the "Cupcake" or 1.5 Firmware Version.
Save it in the Cupcake folder you just created.
STEP 3
Plug your phone into your PC and click "USB Connected" on the Notification Tab, then mount image. Your PC can now read and write to your SD Card. Find your downloaded copy of SAPPING.img and copy it to your SD Card. Unmount, unplug and power off your phone.
STEP 4
Reboot phone into boot mode by holding down volume down key while pressing the power key. It should boot into HBOOT and automatically run the SAPPIMG.img you just copied onto the SD card Click. Follow the onscreen instructions to initiate the automated update. Use trackball to accept.
If it did not boot to HBOOT, read the screen and do what it says to "Reboot to HBOOT." From there everything else should once again be automated. Follow the onscreen instructions to initiate the automated update. Use trackball to accept. Once the update is done and it says "Installation Complete," reboot by pressing Home and Back buttons together.
STEP 5Once rebooted, do the initial setup. Once setup is complete, plug the phone back into the PC and re-mount the SD Card. It is safe to delete the SAPPIMG.img file from the SD Card now. You can also check to make sure the Firmware Version 1.5 is correct and installed by going to Settings-> About phone.
STEP 6You need to Download the second file needed named update.zip. It gets us back to Android 1.6
Save it in Donut Update 1 folder. Once download is complete, copy the file update.zip to the SD Card like before. Unmount, unplug, and power off the phone.
STEP 7Reboot the phone into recovery mode by this time holding down the Home and Power buttons together this time. A picture with tirangle and phone will show press Home and Power again to get to the actual recovery screen. You now have 2 options to apply this update...either or:
*Note* Use trackball to navigate the cursor in this new menu
1. Apply update.zip from SD Card. This option will leave all user data that you previously put on the phone after the SAPPIMG install, i.e. Contacts, Apps, Settings...etc.
2. Wipe/Factory reset. This option will completely remove all user data from the phone. A clean slate if you will. If you choose this option, when the reset finishes, Make sure you do Option 1 Apply update.zip from SD Card. Once the update is done and it says "Installation Complete," reboot by pressing Home and Back buttons together.
STEP 8
Once rebooted, if you chose option 2 in the previous step you have to redo the initial setup. Plug the phone back into the PC and re-mount the SD Card. It is safe to delete the update.zip from the phone now. You can also check to make sure the Firmware Version 1.6 is correct and installed by going to Settings-> About phone.
STEP 9
You need to Download the third file needed named update.zip. It gets us back the latest radios.
Save it in Donut Update 2 folder. Once download is complete, copy the file update.zip to the SD Card like before. Unmount, unplug, and power off the phone.
STEP 10 = Finale
Reboot the phone into recovery mode by this time holding down the Home and Power buttons together this time. A picture with tirangle and phone will show press Home and Power again to get to the actual recovery screen. You now have 2 options to apply this update...either or:
*Note* Use trackball to navigate the cursor in this new menu
1. Apply update.zip from SD Card. This option will leave all user data that you previously put on the phone after the SAPPIMG install, i.e. Contacts, Apps, Settings...etc.
2. Wipe/Factory reset. This option will completely remove all user data from the phone. A clean slate if you will. If you choose this option, when the reset finishes, Make sure you do Option 1 Apply update.zip from SD Card. Once the update is done and it says "Installation Complete," reboot by pressing Home and Back buttons together.
Once rebooted, if you chose option 2 in the previous step you have to redo the initial setup. Plug the phone back into the PC and re-mount the SD Card. It is safe to delete the update.zip from the phone now. You can also check to make sure the Firmware Version 1.6 is correct and installed by going to Settings-> About phone. That is it!
Now you are good to go and are waitng for T-Mobile and their 2.0 or whatever other goodies they decide to throw or not to throw our way.

Good Job! Easy way .. i guess

Gonna upload the files?

Awesome post!
Links in the name of the files would be great too!

Links definitely would be useful... still can't even find the files mentioned above.

I dont see the files...

files
Are these files (specifically the stock 1.6 .zip)? I cannot find a working link for it.

Where are the download links?

lol
great step by step. i wonder if you can find those files on the same page you get sdk from?

Still waiting on links for the files ... am I missing something here? :/

Invalid Signature
I tried this process but I'm getting a "Invalid Signature" error.
I read people saying that this is because myu phone is not rooted, but it is: I've just installed Cyanogen6 on it.
Can anybody help?
Thank you.

Still waiting on the files, unless I'm an idiot and just missing something. Any help from anyone? I'd really like the Froyo OTA but I feel like a lost cause right now...
EDIT: Found this on the T-mo forums and worked like a charm! All download links are included and even a retard could do it (hence why I was able to)
