Sounds to me like your booting into fastboot rather than the bootloader. Next time either select the bootloader and press the power button. Or boot into it by holding the down the volume key and powering on while the phone is off.

Just to clarify, the second download comes with the official(final) gingerbread OTA from Tmobile?

If that's the case then I feel like some logical workaround can be made with it that could let 2.3.4 users get rooted somehow.

Crazy but my root stayed after flashing new radio am u jus lucky or somethin

mjeezy made it sound as though he did this and managed to keep his root, then again, I'm not exactly sure if that's what he meant in that post.

Did i brick my phone? Sure looks like it!

This is what I currently have:
Glacier PVT Ship S-OFF
HBOOT - 0.86.000
MICROP-0429
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot

When I try to install this i get this:
________________________________________
Parsing... (SD ZIP)
(1) BOOTLOADER - Fail-PU
(2) Recovery
Partition update fail!
Update fail!
Press (POWER) to reboot
----------------------------------------------

When I try to reboot into recovery, this is what I get:
E: Cant mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Cant mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Cant open /cache/recovery/log
E: Cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Cant open /cache/recovery/last_log

Everything was fine until I got a boot loop from a newly installed ROM... I pulled out the battery and thats when all hell broke loose.

From what Ive read... Looks like i bricked it. Any and all help is greatly appreciated....

Thanks!

to clarify, my phone is s-off and rooted. This will un-root the phone? Flashing a custom ROM that is already rooted will restore root in this case?

    Hey All,

    Here are some PD15IMG varients. This is great for noobs who are unsure about flashing the engineering boatlader wich is highly RECOMMENDED as well as a custom recovery. Once you have achieved s-off use this file to continue your rooting process. Again this only works for those of you that currently have S-OFF!!!!

    You may ask why do I need an engineering bootloader the answer is you technically don't. However, it can be your last line of defense against a soft brick and is strongly suggested by any experienced modder!!!

    I have included 3 separate downloads. The first file contains ClockworkMod and the engineering bootloader. I did not offer a separate file containing just CWM 5 or just the bootloader due to a few reasons. One being I believe everybody should have the Eng. bootloader and second being this offers a true flash of a custom recovery where Rom Manager does not. If you would like just one or the other open up the zip file and delete the desired file. The second file is the most recent update offered from T-Mobile. That file will give you the update unrooted and as it is intended from T-Mobile. However, it will give you an eng bootloader with CWM 5 instead of the locked bootloader and stock recovery. Allowing you to return to another rom or previous nandroid backup. The third file is for if you ever want to go back to a stock splash image or yours begins to fail. Finally, I also added thee new ClockworkMod touch recovery with the eng bootloader for the last file.


    I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your device please proceed at your own risk. I have tested this myself and it works just fine. However, if something were to happen to your device don't blame me :D

    1.Download which file you want

    2. Rename it to PD15IMG and place on the root of your SD card

    3. If using the second file make a nandroid backup first.

    4. Boot into H-boot and apply the update (by holding volume down and powering on the phone)

    5. Once the update has finished either re-rename the file to something different or delete it from the sd card otherwise you will keep installing the update
    AGAIN THIS IS FOR S-OFF ONLY

    BLINGO BLAMO You now can either flash your favorite rom or restore a previous nandroid backup:eek::cool:






    The downloads

    This file contains the new ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0 and the Eng H-Boot 85.2007

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/69550670/PD15IMG_eng_hboot_.zip

    This file contains the Mysense update, Eng H-boot 85.2007 and ClockworkMod 5.8.1.0

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/69550670/PD15IMG_eng_hboot_touch_Recent_update.zip

    THIS 2nd FILE WILL ERASE ALL FILES AND DATA ON YOUR PHONE

    This File contains the original T-Mobile splash image (teejay this is for you lol)

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/69550670/PD15IMG_Splash_.zip

    This file contains the ClockworkMod 5.8.1.0 TOUCH recovery along withe the Eng H-boot 85.2007

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/69550670/PD15IMG_eng_hboot_touch.zip


    I hope this helps some of you out and relieves those headaches you had!!!!

    So this flashes the engineering bootloader, the latest ClockworkMod recovery, and the OTA Gingerbread ROM all in one shot? I've never heard of such a package, pretty cool! :thumbs up:

    EDIT: I read it again, and apparently it's just the bootloader and recovery. Still pretty cool!

    PD15IMG for CWM only.zip - rename to PD15IMG.zip and flash from bootloader to install custom recovery on an S-OFF Glacier
