hi this is my problem
tmobile mytouch 4g (sorry for the caps, just to write accurate, as it is)
GLACIER PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.89.0006
MICROP-0429
RADIO-26.13.04.19_M
eMMC-boot
Jul 15 2011,16:45:17

it won't boot, only tmobile mytouch 4g logo freezed, if i enter hboot and try to factory reset it freezes, just that, found and tried PD15IMG sd card, with msg too old....
PD15IMG_Glacier_Gingerbread_S_TMOUS_2.19.531.1_Radio_12.58.60.25_26.11.04.03_M_release_200756_signed
and
PD15IMG_Glacier_TMOUS_1.17.531.2_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155771_signed

so is there any stock or newer than 26.13.04.19_M, so i can flash it to stock, or how to downgrade, if there is no root or temp and it doesn't boot, or i have to use jtag?
thank you very much indeed

No root, doesn't boot to the point where you can connect through ADB and temp-root (or ADB turned off), stock, S-ON and on latest OS build already - I'm afraid you have nothing to do.

hi

thank you very much indeed for your attention

i believe that i can conect it as adb if i put it in hboot, but how to temp root if i read, that the version is not rootable only after downgrade, maybe edit to downgrade?
hopefully, im trying to help a friend with this phone, and i dont want to try jtag only as the last option

ADB only works in the OS. Since you can't boot the OS even to initial stages, ADB won't work.

You can connect fastboot in bootloader, not ADB. But fastboot won't allow you anything before you're S-OFF and have engineering bootloader flashed. There is no operation to S-OFF the phone from bootloader, you need OS for that. And again, you don't have OS - you can't boot.
Which leaves you with nothing to do.

well

so it seems that either or i get the newest ruu or zip, with the same or newer rom, or the real chance, is that i should use jtag to fix it, i have 2 samsung ace, 1 hd2, and maybe after those ill try to solder this one to fix the boot, i was hopping to avoid this but not a chance, i have the tools and some experience, so lets do it
but thank you very much indeed for your time and help

I download a file from another site since I'm having the same exact problem. I was using darkside rom perfectly and i left my phone changing the screen that was broken. Then when i pick up my phone today i saw the same thing that you post. As I said, i download a PD15IMG gingerbread and ask me if i want to update and i say yes....but i dont know how long it will take since im doing that right now....and i think it just froze lol....

Not 100% but I think this might help you(if you haven't tried it already :) )
