I am on haykuros rom right now and i am wondering if i could download a jf rom, rename it to update.zip and flash it to get back to jf, instead of doing all of that fastboot stuff.

what fastboot stuff are you talking about?
and i dont see why not, although i havnt tried, i didnt do anything using fastboot to goto haykuros 5.0.2 (i just did a wipe), so i cant see why i couldnt just do the same to goto jf 1.42

on haykuros website to go back to jf he says you have to do this
PHP:
After playing with my ROMs, and if you don’t like them or for whatever reason you feel you want to go back, you can revert back at any time using fastboot.
Open a command prompt (Start -> Run, and type in “cmd”) and type in:
adb shell reboot bootloader
This will boot you, easily, into the SPL (as opposed to power off, holding CAMERA then power on.)
Now in the same command prompt navigate to where you have your nandroid backup (you need boot.img, data.img, and system.img) type in:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system –w
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
That’s it! You are now back to your original state!
i just want to put jf on it as update.zip and flash

oh gotcha, never knew that
well you could get stuck on a flashing android, but even then you could still go do the fastboot stuff, and is there a reason against using the fastboot method? ive found fastboot to be a very reliable way of doing things, and if haykuro suggests you to do it that way, then id assume thats the best possible way of doing things
if you try to just flash the update.zip, let me know how it goes, im curious
The purpose of the "fastboot stuff" is to restore from a nandroid backup. You can flash with an update.zip of any jf version and be just fine.
yes, ive done it, worked fine, except you'll want to reflash to the radio jf has out there, if you've updated the radio. Which i know i did, the old radio has issues with 1.5

Try this
get into bootloader mode by pressing VOL DOWN + POWER button while turning on the phone. Connect it to PC, it should say FASTBOOT on the screen Put your backed up img files in the same folder as fastboot, then open command-prompt and do
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You'll need fastboot utility to do this and android sdk

no joy and nandroid back up only works if you backed up original before flashing............doesn't even work sometimes. i asked the guy you helped prev how he flashed it but no joy
Just go into fastboot mode (back + power)
Put system.img, boot.img and recovery.img in the tools folder of the android sdk
Open command prompt to the tools folder eg c:\android\tools
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
voila back to (unrooted) stock voda rom
Cant you simply use nandroid recovery to load them into your phone. Make a backup with nandroid system recovery, connect your phone to usb and replace the files in the "nandroid>Device ID"xxxxxxx">date" with the boot.img, cache.img etc.. then reboot phone in fastboot and do nandroid recovery. I'm not sure if this will work since i have not tried it, but i'm assuming it should as that's the folder i backed up on my PC when i used nandroid backup.

its ok as Hakuryo rooted rom is actually voda original! i downloaded from the wiki and aye presto. thanks anyway!
I just helped a buddy (this never happened before) and his mytouch is rooted. He upgraded his SPL to Haykuro's and then, through fastboot, he flashed Amon_Ra's 1.2.2 recovery image. Now, we can't get it past the mytouch screen, but can get into fastboot. Any ideas?
Try flashing another rom?
If you can get into fastboot, you can send a new image to the phone.
I don't recall the exact commands, but if you're in fastboot, you're still good.

Fastboot the recovery image, and then from the recovery, you can flash the new rom.

the recovery image is there. We cant into to recovery to apply the rom.
Get yourself the proper recovery.img for that phone. Not sure what it is, but a quick search will find it. Search for 'mytouch recovery' or 'mt3g recovery'.
Then with the recovery image in your SDK tools folder, run:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
That should at least get you to a point where you can flash a new ROM and commit the proper recovery image to flash using adb commands.
I can't hold your hand through the whole thing, I don't have that phone, but I've been in your situation before.
Ok we tried it, now it says... FAILED(remote: partition does not exist!)
anyone have an idea?
Try to erase Cache
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery

Yeah that's exactl what we did and it worked.
The thing is, we erased the recovvery image and reinstalled it, but now again, it won't go into recovery. I have a feeling he downloaded the wrong Amos_Ra recovery. Probably one for the 32a.
(forgive my poor english first. i don't perfect spl in fact. just consider about the possibility of following situation)
let's ASSUME that i have PERFECT spl and ORIGINAL recovery, but at the same time i have ROOT. CAN i just flash recovery in terminal using the command "flash_image"?
if it doesn't work, is there another way?
Urgent!
Anybody help???
I think you can flash your custom Recovery with the original Radio/SPL but you can also boot your recovery in fastboot mode (back + power)
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
You can also flash the 1.33.2010 Engineering SPL like another update.zip.
Another EDIT: the 1.33.0008 isn't PERFECT SPL, you can flash on it.

Yes, you can flash a recovery using adb. Save the recovery image you want to flash to your sdcard. Open a command prompt at the tools folder of the androidsdk. Then type the command:
Code:
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/<name of the recovery.img>
And you'll have a custom recovery installed. From then on you can replace the perfected SPL. Take a look here.

Got it!
thanks a lot!!!!
I flashed the new RADIO and SPL,but forgot to flash a new recovery in HBOOT model. The flash was totally succeed (because after fashing,I tap "fastboot reboot-bootloader" command in HBOOT and it could reboot automatically into hboot model and I can see the new RADIO and SPL had been fashed.
But here comes the problem, I try to reboot my phone into recovery model to flash the new ROM, but no matter I press HOME+POWER or BACK+POWER this time, it reboots again and again at first boot screen, and donnot have any response with the key I tapped!
God! is that bricked? No please don't tell me it's true!
so to clarify, you didn't flash a recovery image and now you don't know why you can't boot to recovery?
boot to fastboot, flash the recovery only, reboot to recovery, flash the rom of your choice and enjoy
Of course, but I cannot boot into fastboot or recovery model now.

*facepalm*
if you can't get into fastboot and you can't get into recovery you just bricked your phone.
while it's bootlooping, can you adb devices and tell us what you get?
i'm surprised that it's bricked because you forgot to flash a recovery, would have thought you could still access fastboot...
I was surprised too.
I don't know why,but I can boot into fastboot model now, but my recovery and rom are still broken.
So I tried to type "fastboot boot recovery.img" on my computer, so that I can enter recovery temporary, but here comes another trouble, it can't mount sdcard now! Display "Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1(or /dev/block/mmcblk0)(No such file or directroy) E:Can't mount SDCARD
!"
So can I use adb shell to install a ROM???
calm down bro....
you didn't brick your phone...
i've same problem after I flashed the new radio SPL HBOOT and recovery...
I've used Hero Recovery...
after u flashed your handset with new radio SPL HBOOT and Recovery, the ROM file DELETED....
so, u just download new rom (that have SAME RADIO HBOOT and Recovery with your handset)
after finished the download, put the file into ROOT SDCard... and then flash it from your RECOVERY....
I've used HERO RECOVERY....
my handset is HTC MAGIC 32A
just do that, if the problem same with me....
BRAVO

I don't recall the OP mentioning what handset they have. If its the MyTouch 3G Limited Edition or 1.2 (has headphone jack on top) a new user to rooting may confuse that with a Magic 32A in which case your instructions without clarifying would surely brick his phone. (Though he's on Fido, so not likely to be a MyTouch, but he didn't even mention of it was a Magic, Hero, G1, or if it was a DVT board instead of a PVT)

You shouldn't offer instructions like this. You have no idea what phone he's using. You offer such a high risk of bricking the phone since most members here fail to read instructions before running a bunch of commands.
He's fido like the above guy said which could mean he's using a rogers magic, but it's also unlikely. Fido doesn't have Magic, so he definitely got it off someone. And since it's rootable (it is unlikely that he could get a hands on a rooted magic here since their lame update) it has a high chance that its from tmo or something which = 32B board.
my phone is htc magic with 32A and it's ENG S-ON so I can't flash a recovery through fastboot, so I have to use "fastboot boot recovery.img" to use a recovery temporary just I said above. I do know that I can put a rom into a sdcard to flash it, but it can't mount sdcard now
Try waiting 30-60 seconds before accessing the SD card. Some recovery images take a while to mount the card.
