I put the nandroid file on my sdcard, but in recovery when i go to restore there it says no files. What do I need to do to get this to work. I have a replacement coming to me so I need to figure this out.

Edit: Sorry I'm an idiot. I got it know. Thank you so much for posting this.

Edit2: Crap! Ok I have s=on now but i still have hboot 0.86.0000 Shouldn't I have the old one now?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but from my understanding and if memory serves me correct (from before I flashed my hboot) this is the stock hboot

Also billydroid this is the file that was created when you followed the guide to ultimate s=off

@CRoman247

this is correct if you followed the first 6 steps correct then this is what you would see now you need to boot into fastboot by powering off then hold vol down while pressing power then select fastboot and continue at step 8

Any word on a glacier.nbh file for a one click complete factory restore like on the old mt3g?

I haven;t seen one around nor have I heard one but boy that would be nice save a lot of headache. Although I was never able to get it to work on my 1.2

For the 1.2 you name it sappimg.zip instead of sappimg.nbh. try the link in my sig.

I was having issues so bad that it ended up bricking my device, flashed wrong radio and such. I ended up getting a warranty replacement so its all good now. Thanks though.

Can I run the gfree now and use what file it creates being I am already rooted? Unfortunately, I was rooted before that thread was started. I can get back to original radio and hboot and s-on just wondering if root will be seen easily without the part7 file? New one is on its way......

It's my understanding that the part7 is an undo to whatever you're doing now. So if you're already rooted, the part7 file you create will bring you back to where you are NOW, which is already rooted.

Make sense?

Somebody correct me if I am wrong.

Mrdaviso · Dec 14, 2010

Confusing....."Gfree writes a backup of the file that it patches named Part7backup-numbers.bin on your sdcard. I suggest putting this file in a safe place as it is the only way to revert if you need to."

Is there something else we did that would have altered this file in the visionary process?

jjjackson56 · Dec 14, 2010

@ mrdaviso if you rooted using the original guide to s=off but didnt also follow the ultimate guide to radio s=off you will not need to worry about this step due to the fact that part7backup was never created because you do not have ultimate root.

@Phateless you are correct this was to bring back carrier lock and such.

Mrdaviso · Dec 14, 2010

Thank you, that's what I thought.

So this procedure is 100% reversible?

lol? did you do the gfree in the first place? that is did you follow the "true ultimate permaroot and s-off" guide? Unrooting is amazingly simple I don't know why this requires 12 steps or more...

if you would like I can help walk you through restoring to stock on IRC or via some kinda IM app... when do you need this done by? I'm nearing the end of a 12 hour shift, but may be able to help you out tonight... (I'm on IRC right now btw irc.freenode.net channel: #HTC_Glacier)

I'm not sure if I did the gfree or not, I can't remember

I followed the true ultimate after I already was rooted with visionary.

I need to send it back today. Are you on gmail?

I just tried logging on to IRC don't know what your name is.

jjjackson56 · Dec 14, 2010

@ g33kchik If you followed the ultimate guide you will have carrier unlock try plugging an att sim and see if it will work if so follow this guide if it doesn't you can eliminate all the gfree steps. Also steps one through 12 will not unroot you should still have root. Are you tying adb devices to make sure you computer sees your phone? If it doesn't bring up your phone id # then adb push wing work. Also make sure gfree is in the folder with adb if its not adb is basically saying wtf there's nothing for me to push. Also all these steps are needed only for the ultimate guide. So if you didn't do this it will eliminate the need for all these steps if you didn't follow it. If there is an easier easy of doing this I welcome anyone to pm me directions.
