Problem after installing T-Mobile Update

[Guest mapero]

Hi!

I think i have a big Problem, after installing the orginal T-Mobile Pulse Update 12/2009 (german), i wanted to go back to the 8230 Rom. So i booted via fastboot recovery mode and restored my Nandroid Backup.

After this, the Pulse failed to boot, and restarts after android logo.

I tried allready:

- all my stored nandroid backups

- reinstalling MCR Roms

- reinstalling Stock Rom GBR from this site

I can boot into recovery mode via fastboot. Any idea how i can recover my pulse?

Would it be possible to make an update.zip out of the updata.app from T-mobile?

I am really lost atm! I guess they changed something within this update beyond nandroid can recover.

Edit: Managed to reinstall the new TMob Rom. Now trieing to reinstall the 8230 Rom from scratch.

Thx,

mapero

Fail...

I am not able to reinstall any Rom from here. None is booting. The only Rom booting atm is the new TMob Rom.

I tried to install the november release from T-Mobile UK, but this fails with "Failure: OEMSBL version unmatched."

Has anyone idea how i can get back to MCR?

I am not able to root the device anymore.

That really sucks, seems they really changed something. ;)

Some Questions.

T-Mobile has to release the source for this update or they only have to do it once?

I tried everything now to install the old boot.img but all fails. So now i try to build my own boot.img with their kernel. How u put stuff like "Quick Boot" etc into the boot.img? is this stuff added in the kernelfile?

I managed to split it into ramdisk & kernel, and i was able to edit ramdisk and reflash it to the phone. But i was not able to open the kernel file.

Is the "kernelfile" i get when i split the boot.img a binary file or is it a container (gz, img or something) containing files?

Sry for pushing this topic again, but u r my last hope.

Edit: Okay, finally created my own "rooted Boot.img" with Quick Boot etc!

Next: How i can edit the system part on android. i tried dump it to sd card via "cat /dev/mtd/mtd1 > /sdcard/system.img" but i was not able to open this file or mount it on my system. What i have to do? Wanna compare it to the old system!
