I've decided to create a new thread and share my experience because there are lot of different posts about it and newbies may get lost.
The bottom line is I successfully updated my SPL without gold card even the fact I had a "perfect" SPL.
My phone is from T-Mobile USA. I bought it around 2009-08-22.
After few days of reading posts, downloading files and thinking what exactly needs to be done I've decided to try without GoldCard.
My understanding so far is that Radio version should match to new SPL. I have no idea why. So be careful.
The most important /dangerous/ part is changing the SPL. SPL is like the BIOS to the PC. If it is broken then hardware tools are needed to fix it. Everything else should be possible to be fixed by software tools.
Proceed on your own risk, you might brick your phone!!!

1. Following this http://www.ryebrye.com/blog/2009/08/16/android-rooting-in-1-click-in-progress/ article I installed the Recovery flasher application.
2. Using recovery flasher application I've changed the recovery image on my phone.
3. Then I downloaded Engendering SPL 1.33.2005 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019 and saved it on SD card as update.zip. I was using the SD card that comes with the phone /4GB sandisk class 2/
4. Using recovery mode I've applied sdcard:update.zip. It finished almost immediately with message successfully flashed.
5. After restarting the phone in fastboot mode my SPL info says

From this point on you can flash new recovery image if you like. I changed it to the one from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
Or ROM image from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537204
I hope it will work for you as well. Please don't blame me if you decide to try it and something goes wrong. It is up to you to try my way.
Worked great. Thanks!
Even easier way may be possible
I am glad it work for you too.
I am tempted to try even easier way to do it. Unfortunately my SPL is not the original one and I don't want to mess with my SPL anymore.
According to this article http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/google-io-device.html the recovery image of Google branded phones has a hidden console menu. I was wondering is this the same for T-Mobile MyTouch3D as well.
When the phone start in recovery mode then it displays ! icon. Here is a quote from HTC page:
# Reboot the device into recovery mode by holding down the HOME key during reboot. When the device enters recovery mode, it displays a "!" icon.
# Press the HOME+END key combination to display the recovery console.
# Next, use the trackball to select the "apply sdcard:update.zip" option and press the trackball to begin the installation. An "Install from sdcard" status message is displayed — when the progress bar completes, the installation is finished. After writing the radio image, the device shows an "updating firmware" icon for a few seconds and then automatically reboots in normal mode.
This instruction is about radio image. But the bottom line is how to reach the hidden menu.
Actually this key combination hides/shows the menu in recovery mode even using other recovery images
If that works then this will be the easiest way to root the phone. I hope someone will give it a try.
Hope more people could root their prefect spl by this way.
I will try this method when I got my G2(it should be a prefect spl ).
That worked great to get me on the new radio. My question is installing the recovery img did you imstall it with the command promp or did you install it another way. Also once i get the new recovery installed and format the sd card with the 3 formats can i install a hero rom. Tmt3g 32b
Worked perfect for me, I never could make a goldcard. Had OTB MyTouch with 1.33.2006 now I have ENG 1.33.2005. Great find!
SUCCESS!!!
This worked flawlessly for me. I had no luck with the goldcard. Thanks for this one.
One-click Method!
This is is really good guide. I just wanted to add a couple tidbits:
For those MT3G users who would like a video tutorial of this process follow this link: http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-root-the-mytouch-3g-or-g1-in-one-click/. This site has a really nice easy-to-follow video tutorial and the instructions are virtually "noob proof". This was how I rooted my myTouch.
Finally, and probably the most important tidbit:
The "One-Click" method described on this thread and on "theunlockr.com" exploits a security hole found in the bluetooth. I know that the Recovery Flasher app exploits this, but I am clueless how it works exactly. Anyhow, there is much discussion that this security hole will be patched on the next OTA update. So if you are interested in rooting your myTouch with this method, then do so soon before it is too late! After this OTA update unrooted users will have to revert to the "Gold Card method" to obtain root.
Here is a link for the "Gold Card" method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133
Which ever method you choose, GOOD LUCK!!

Roto - does the one-click really provide root, or is it simply instructions to flash a new recovery image? I successfully flashed the new recovery but cannot su to root in a shell using adb. Perhaps I am mistaking "rooting" a phone with acquiring "root" privledges, but I assume the former would provide the latter, no?
Root perfect spl
hi i was just going to write a new thread about the same method but thanks its already posted,after trying to do the Goldcard thingy which was very complicated i did researches and i found tehsame website as u did!
can we just change the title to Root Perfecf SPL ? i think willl be easier for thosewho have prfect spl to find it!
Is "One-Click" root really root?
The short answer is yes. The "One-Click" method does REALLY root your MT3G. My question is have you flashed a rom after you flashed the recovery.img. If not I suggest, as has andreev2001, trying the "stable" 4.0.4 Cyanogen rom found at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537204.
Here is a link w/video on how to flash roms from theunlockr.com: http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-load-hero-and-or-apps2sd-onto-your-g1-or-mytouch-3g-best-method/
Cyanogen's roms are lightning fast, and there is a "CMUpdater" app available in the "Market" to make updating your roms much easier.
Here is a link to the Official Cyanogen website with SH** LOADS of information: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/
There is also a Cyanogen YouTube channel coming soon subscribe today!! This guy is up-to-date on all this rooting stuff.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!
RotoRoot - I definitely do not have root. I cannot su to root, nor will Wifi tether work for me. I have used Cyan's ROMS on my G1 for a long time and can attest to their quality. I have yet to flash any ROM, which may actually change the file permissoins to allow the actual "root" access. I would say unless I did something wrong (I followed the steps on theunlockr.com) it is a mis-nomer to say that one-click gives you root, no?
Root worked fine for me after using the one-click root.
Be sure to check the rom, it might not have Superuser.apk in it.
If it does, idk then.
Im not sure what to tell you...I did the one-click and have root. I am able to do Wifi-tether and apps2sd without any issue. SU is working fine for me as well, and I followed theunlockr.com to the "T". Maybe on download the recovery.img was corrupt (don't panic, this does happen occasionally). I would flash the stock .nbh and try the full process again. Sorry man, many others have had success with this process so I would wonder if maybe the download was corrupt.
Here is a link to unroot: http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/
GOOD LUCK!!
Weird, tried to flash a Cyan ROM and watched the logcat have mega failures. Fortunately I had done a Nandroid backup and restored just fine using the recovery loaded in the "one-click" process. I will try again... Thanks for the help!
I just wanted to say thanks for the guide, rooting went smooth and it was easy, this should be the official tmo root method.
*edit* Already covered.
Bump, for the ppl askin about rooting. Can y'all help add some tags so this thread will show up in searches? I did the first two, thanks.

Just get the sappimg.nbh file and flash that through bootloader (hboot). You will be back on 1.5 rom. Then you can install recovery flasher and flash your recovery with Anom Ra's, and from there, you can flash your rom and spl of choice.
i've had 2 android phones before, i must've flashed roms 50+ times in the past nevertheless im paranoid enough to always follow procedure by confirming on written step by step instructions. just now with this new evo i bought a couple weeks ago im having problems flashing roms, im positive to be unrevokedly rooted forever with full nand acces. tried cm6.1 got message "cant symlink" "error line 31" process aborted. retried unsuccesfully, redownloaded rom, retried failed again, tried other roms like virus and bakedsnack every attempt unsuccesful with SAME error. of course i performed a nandroid backup which i've been trying to restore since the first failed attempt but though it completes seemingly without problem phone gets stuck on "htc evo 4g" screen. i use amon ra recovery 1.8.0, always careful to have enough juice. have hboot 2.0.2 S-off. help me, pretty please.
ow! I feel good! ta-nana-nana- nana!
hooray! for me and all who are helped by this short thread in the future! our solution is right here, search this within xda:
"[ROOT][GUIDE] HBoot 2.02 S-OFF - Fresh Like Pine Cones Edition"
Im new here so i cant post links, we're concerned only with the :
"PC36IMG_Recovery.zip" that's in the thread.
got this after 6 hours researching all internet. it seems many of our new EVO'S require this custom RA recovery to flash roms or restore nandroids; just rename it to PC36IMG.zip, place it in sdcard, power off, start fastboot, wait a few seconds it will prompt you for installation, press up volume for yes, when its done choose reboot. after that its flashing as usual yipay!
I have a really strange issue and I've done everything I can think of to fix it to no avail. I'm hoping someone here can give me a few pointers.
I'm working on a Inspire 4G for someone. The issue is that the phone reverts to a specific state no matter what I do. For example, if I wipe the phone, the phone boots back up to Froyo with all of his stuff on it. If I try loading an RUU or IMG file (Froyo or Gingerbread), it will "take" but boot to Froyo with all of his stuff on it. It's almost like it wipes itself and loads this image out of nowhere...
Another weird thing, which may or may not be related, is that I see a weird download in his notification tray. Apparently, the file named "WinBej2Setup.exe" was downloaded twice. I did some research on that and everything I see points to some kind of malware for a Windows PC.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Forgive me if this sounds stupid, but you do have S-off correct? I'm not sure about the weird file, have you tried to access it? Also what other roms have you tried to flash? Also what method did you use to root?

I don't have S-OFF. Here's all the bootloader info:

As for the file, I'm not sure where it's located. I can only see the notifications that they have finished downloading.
As for the history on the phone, I really can't say much since it's not my personal phone. The person I'm doing this for said he tried to root it using the ACE Hack kit and "some ADB commands" and failed. That's all the information I was given.
At this point, I can load anything to the phone but it will just revert to Froyo in the exact state that it's currently in.
For example, I just tried installing Gingerbread via the official RUU file. It goes through the entire process without a hiccup. Then it reboots and takes forever to load; but when it does, it's back on Froyo with all the owners files...
Personally I would root it, make sure s off, and make sure to format the memory card the corrrect way also.
Then I would install a custom rom.
And the file you speak of is also a game called bejewled. My girl loves that game.

This p-o-s I'm addicted to, and my woman is jealous of.
Reformat the sd card then do an official upgrade thru HTC. Go to the website and download the Gingerbread RUU and HTC Sync. If this doesn't work, complete the root process as suggested.Tell your friend you can't install exe files on Android. They need to be apk files or zip files if installed thru recovery.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using Tapatalk
I appreciate the advice guys, but I think you guys are overlooking what I'm trying to say... I've already tried running the official upgrades from HTC. The RUU says it's completed fine, but on reboot, I'm back on Froyo with all the same stuff on it.
I've even gone as far as extracting the IMG file out of the RUU and loading it through the bootloader. If I do this, it does the same thing-- says everything loaded fine but reverts on boot back to Froyo in the same state it was in prior.
I can temp root the phone using psneuter but that's about it. I have no idea how I'm going to achieve S-OFF if everything I do is wiped on reboot...
What I'm wondering is if there is a way to lock the entire phone down in a state where nothing can be changed; and if so, is there a way to disable this feature.
Are you sure you do not have a file on the root of the card named PD98IMG.zip? You may be installing this every time the phone boots.
How can you install a non RUU ROM when you have s-on?
Something does not make sense here. Also the exe file you talked about has no use on android as android can do nothing with it. Where do you actually see it?
Go back to square 1. What ROM is on the phone now? Do you have clockwork installed?
I'm not sure how to many different times/ways I can explain the same thing. The phone is on stock AT&T Froyo 2.2.1 (1.80.502.3). Currently, there is no custom recovery and it's not rooted.
The issue is that the phone always reverts (almost like it's doing a nandroid restore in the background) during boot to Froyo 2.2.1 (1.80.502.3) with all his stuff on it.
I've installed Gingerbread 2.3.3 (2.47.502.7) via the official AT&T RUU file
I've extracted the PD98IMG.zip from the Gingerbread 2.3.3 (2.47.502.7) RUU and loaded it via bootloader
I've installed Froyo 2.2.1 (1.80.502.3) via the official AT&T RUU file.
I've extracted the PD98IMG.zip from the Froyo 2.2.1 (1.80.502.3) RUU and loaded it via bootloader
I've done a factory reset from within the phone
I've deleted user data & cache with the stock recovery
After performing each and everyone of these steps, the phone hangs on the white HTC screen while booting and eventually boots up to Froyo 2.2.1 (1.80.502.3) along with all the guys stuff on it.

I agree completely; however, the issue I'm running into very unusual. With that being said, I'm trying to point out anything unusual that I notice with the phone. This file most likely has absolutely nothing to do with the problem I'm encountering, but I mentioned it just in case.
Are you sure you do not have a file on the root of the card named PD98IMG.zip? You may be installing this every time the phone boots.

I wish this was the case; however, this wouldn't explain why all his stuff is still on the phone... The only time there is a PD98IMG.zip on the sdcard is when I put it there. Even so, I would have to boot the phone into bootloader mode and go through the prompts to get it take. More so, even if I did do this, it would just revert upon rebooting (hints the problem).
I appreciate the help but I think the problem is a little deeper than what has be presented.
That clears it up for me. You obviously know what you are doing. You mentioned "wipe" a few times which confused me. Didn't think there was a way to actually wipe it without a recovery installed. Sounds like one helluva confusing issue there. Goodluck.
Its always going to revert back to the previous state because its still s-on.
You need to get s-off before anything will change.

This I know is not true-- You can load signed code with S-ON. If what you said was true there would be no way to load an official RUU or OTA...
I appreciate the help, but telling me to get S-OFF (which I've clearly stated that I'm unable to do) is not getting me anywhere.
Is the original ROM branded? Have you tried installing a PD98IMG.zip from a gold card? Just a thought.
I have tried installing several different ROMS all with the same result. -> stuck in the HTC white screen, not even the black letter that come after it normaly.
I followed the noob s-off guide, did every step like in the guide. Next i tried loading a new rom (Revolution HD and RCmix) both are the newest version as of now. Installing the entire ROM takes like 2 mins max (seems kinda short) but in both cases it says it is installed OK.
Everytime all i could do was reinstall the recovey (because that didnt work also) and then do a recovery of my old ROM.
I searched all the forums but nobody with a Sensation is having trouble with it.
I have a Sensation with HBOOT 1.18 and i have Android 2.3.4 with the 1.45.401.3 softwareversion.
I really dont get it. Can anybody please help with my Sensation problem???

do you have root access? s-off and root are two different things.
something definitely is off was your h-boot 1.18 prior to applying the noob proof s-off? because generally after gaining root your h-boot will change to 1.17xxxxxx
you will need this file
after s-off install clockworkmod or [4ext recovery (in my signature)]
*after recovery installed
*copy paste the downloaded file (su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip) into the rootof your device
*reboot into recovery and apply update.zip
it might say the install was aborted. (go ahead and try again) if it says aborted one more time thats alright. it did this for me for both my sensations but it still gave me root access.
there is an app called Root Checker on the market that will verify if you have gained root access and give you possible solutions if you havent acquired root access through this process.
after you have achieved root access you will be able to apply roms successfully
Let me know if this works
Hi rddocke,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I forgot to mention in my post that i did do the rooting explained in the guide and by you, i am 100% sure i have root acces on my device, i can run titanium backup for instance (and actually backup), use setcpu and i have the extra "Superuser" tile in my list of programs.
I have HBOOT 1.18 before S-OFF and after I have 1.17.11111 i believe (definitely 1.17.xxxxxx).
U have any more help to give?

Hi,
I'm not sure which guide you used to get s-off,but have a look in my sig for the s-off guide there.
Did you do the super CID stage?
If you haven't,that might explain why none of the ROMS you are trying are working.

Problem is solved now
Problem is solved now
oops message was added on page 2
Hello, first I would like to apologize as I am clearly a noob and have very little idea of what I am talking about.
I'm sure my problem has been asked before and that if I had any idea what the problem was, I could find the exact solution I need here on the forums. Unfortunately I don't even know what to search for. If any one would like to complain go ahead but please..just help me.
So I decided to root my HTC Sensation, which I believe I did without any problem, I followed the guide on this site. Nothing went wrong and as far as I was aware everything was working fine.
I then decided to flash a new ROM onto the phone. I chose the Android Revolution HD as this looked to be the popular choice. I got it from here and I believed I had followed the instructions on how to install it properly.
However, after installing the ROM I came upon a problem, the phone would not start, it would just go to the HTC boot screen and stay there forever. At first I couldn't even get back to the hboot screen, but after inserting a new and better charged battery I was able to get there, but every time I do it attempts to update and says " CID incorrect! Update Fail! Press <POWER> to reboot." and I cant do anything but get stuck in this continuous loop.
If I take the SD card out I can access the HBOOT properly, however trying to do a recovery at this point doesn't seem to work.
I have no idea what to do and would appreciate any help anyone can give me. I would be happy to just have my phone back to the way it was originally.
Thanks
Might wanna try a RUU? not sure but hopefully it should do..

First off your MAJOR issue is that you flashed a rom for the Desire HD section(As soon as I clicked on your link, it said Android Revolution 7.0.2... I was like wtf? There is no 7.0.2 on the sensation forum) ... I think that's the prob... for now! Flash the correct rom and stay in the right section!
Second, I don't see why you can't get into recovery. Remove your sd card, power on the phone by holding vol-down +power to get to bootloader, select recovery and flash the right rom. I would also recommend that you delete the P58IMG.zip off your sd card as well. I'm assuming you have it on there for the ICS firmware but flashed the incorrect rom. You are far from bricking it, but keep this up and it might turn into one!
Thanks, your post is certainly reasuring though I am still not sure how to continue. Also it is possible I gave the wrong link to the rom I used, though it definitely was the same name.
Anyway what Im thinking I have to do now is 1st delete p58img.zip file from my SDcard and put the right rom on there, could you link to one?
So by removing that file I should be able to access the SDcard again and flash the new rom?

Here's the right link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
This is an ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) Rom
So you need:
1) SuperCID (so that you can flash any firmware)
Instructions
2) Flash the ICS firmware (otherwise you can't use the ICS roms)
http://goo.gl/RcbMy (and make SURE that there aren't any errors - errors such as not doing the SuperCID process correctly, therefore it can't flash - I say this because it seems like many users think the firmware is flashed and then find out their rom won't start, so don't be stupid and check whether or not an error has occurred just incase!)
3) Pick a rom
Revolution
Elegancia
Insert Coin
4) Flash the 4EXT recovery, I'm sure you already have clockwork mod on there but I think that's a bit buggier... so if I were you, I'd go for the 4EXT touch recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377759
5) If you wish, you can also flash for example: tweaks and addons by awsm devs which make our phone much better if you wish!
6) you're good to go! It's that easy.
Yeah, all you have to do is remove that P58IMG.zip from your sd card and your bootloader won't force you to update or w/e. You'll be fine.
And don't forget to md5 check for roms you download !

Thank you very much. It seems I hadn't performed the SuperCID part. Once I had done that I installed Elegancia and it is working perfectly.
Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate you taking the time to explain that to me.
