Hey developers!
I have a problem to flash my HTC Magic 32 A !
Some Informations about my Magic:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
H-BOOT-1.76.0008 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.08.29
I know, the 1.76.0008 is difficult to flash (because its an perfected SPL), but I begin to flash it and after some steps, I got this error(while flashing the Recovery): "error writing boot: No space left an device"
I begin my flash with creating a Goldcard!
Then I start the update: RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.1_test_signed_NoDriver.exe
After this update I download the recovery.img and want to flash this recovery via adb like this:
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb devices
System: List of devices attached
HT95ZKF08958 device
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb push ./recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img
System: Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.26
Lost of commands are listet by the system
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb root
System: adbd is already running as root
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb shell
#su
su
# cat /dev/zero> /dev/mtd/mtd1
System: cat /dev/zero> /dev/mtd/mtd1
System: write: No space left on device
#flash_image boot /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img
System: flash_image boot /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img
System: error writing boot: No space left on devices
#
After getting this error and rebooting the phone, it dosn´t boot, it stocks at the first "htc MAGIC" screen! But I can get into the Fast-Boot-Mod an so I can make the RUU-update again! After this step my Magic boots normal, but i don´t know, what goes wrong!
Pleas help me, I don´t know what to do any more!
Thank you very much!
Best regards, Foena
I think you should flash this image to recovery partition, not boot.
plz try
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb shell
#su
su
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img
Also, your adb push command did not work. It requires another argument, which is the location on the phone to which you are pushing (like /sdcard).
Thank you very much! I will try it in the evening and will give you a feedback after trying!
Regards
He!
It worked! Thanks for your advice!
But now I have another problem!
After I flashed the "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img" and pushed the "update-hboot-1.76.2007-signed.zip" to my Phone (and move the 2 files to my SD-Card) I have to reboot my Magic in Recovery-Mode! This step works! I see some Optione like
- "Reboot System now"
- "USB-MS-toggle"
- "Backup / Restore"
- "Flash Zip from SD-Card"
- "Wipe","Ohter" and
- "Power off"
Now I want to flash my Rom: Sometimes this Recovery-menue stocks, somtimes, when I cklick on "Flash Zip from SD-Card" the Phone shuts down and boots in normal Mode, and sometimes, when I click on "Backup / Restore" nothing happend!
Where is the mistake?? Do you have an idea??
Thank you, Foena
You might have a problem with your track ball. Look at the Amon_RA recovery op for an alternate method of navigating and selecting in the recovery menus. They use vol up, down or something.
Good Morning!
I Have found the alternative navigate keys!
Vol up = up
Vol down = down
Power = confirm
But it doesn´t work! I can navigate to the option "Flash Zip from SD-Card" but I´m not able to complete the flash, because my Phone turns off when I want to confirm "Flash Zip from SD-Card"
Regards Foena
You'd better plaste the output in fastboot mode here, especially the version of hboot and radio, after flashed the RUU.
Thread moved because it technically doesn't have anything to do with the development process of roms or software.
Good luck.

I flashed with the latest cyanogen on a 32A in CM's recovery image, i had the patch for the kernel (take it from 32B to 32A) but i didnt get to apply it yet.
when i rebooted my phone it hangs on the Rogers screen, i can get to fastboot and recovery mode (stock recovery mode). I made a nandroid backup (before the flash) but i cant get to it from the recovery mode menu, and when i connect the fastboot usb, my sd card doesnt show up on my computer. so i cant run the fastboot command to load the recovery image...
is there anything i can do?
some more information:
when i go into recovery mode, the "removable disk" shows up in my computer, but clicking on it just says "please insert a disc into drive..." which leads me to believe it is not mounted, any way to do this from recovery?
It'll never boot when you haven't installed the 32A patch.
And that means that you'll never be able to mount the SD card to have it show up in Windows. You can use adb to push the update.zip file to your SD card while in Recovery mode.
(You'll need the Android SDK installed for this)
Start up your phone in Recovery mode using the Power+Home buttons.
Once in recovery, wait for Windows to detect the phone (about 30 seconds).
Copy the 32A patch to your Android SDK tools folder, then run:
Code:
adb push <filename for your 32A patch>.zip /sdcard/update.zip
This will push your 32A patch to your SD card as update.zip.
Then apply update.zip through your Recovery environment.
A note to you... Before running the adb push, try running:
Code:
adb shell
mount /sdcard
exit
adb push <filename for your 32A patch>.zip /sdcard/update.zip
This will make sure that your SD card is properly mounted before copying the file to it.
To check that the file is there before trying to update, run this from your Command Prompt.
Code:
adb shell
cd /sdcard
ls | grep update.zip
You should see update.zip listed there.
After you've applied the 32A patch zip file through your Recovery environment, reboot your phone.
Should work now...
If you haven't installed the Amon_RA Recovery yet, it would be a good idea. It lets you save and update zip file to the root of your SD card without renaming it to update.zip first. You can apply any update zip file as an update.
thanks for the reply,
when i type adb shell i get:
"error: device not found"
typing adb devices also yields that the device is not listed
but windows does make the noise notifying that a device is connected, and the Removable disc still comes up in my computer
when i go into Device Manager, under disc drives it shows up as
HTC Android Phone Usb Device when the phone is in recovery
and if this makes any difference, press home+power again and look at the options in recovery the bottom says "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command"
it worked in fastboot/recovery before, but that was when i had USB debugging selected and before i flashed CM i wiped. could this be the reason why im not able to access the phone with adb in recovery/fastboot?
for some reason i was able to fastboot into cm's recovery image and then the device was listed in adb, i followed your instructions and applied the patch, the phone booted up!
thank you!!!!! phew, that was a close one

The CM recovery works great but without a hardware keyboard it's not entirely functional.
I'd recommend flashing Amon_Ra recovery and using that. Read the directions carefully though. Make sure you use the right one for your phone.
got amon-ra's recovery permanently flashed on there, thanks again for your help
I am using this website, and am at step 6. Everything up to this point has been going well, but i cannot get the recovery image to copy over. BTW I have the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img file i'm using. When I type to push the file to the SDcard, it says, the transfer failed because the file system is read only.
How do I fix this? I've restarted the phone, taken the SD card in and out, i've typed adb remount, and nothing is working.
. Open command prompt and go to the Tools folder in Android SDK that you downloaded to create the gold card.
Assuming that you have not changed the file name of the recovery, use the following commands:
cd C:\AndroidSDk\tools
adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard/
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img (file name of the recovery you downloaded)
OK, i've got that working, now another problem...
cd C:\AndroidSDk\tools
adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard/
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img (file name of the recovery you downloaded)
7. After the recovery has been flashed, go to the following link to download the ENG SPL for HTC MAGIC 32A (SPL: 1.76.2007)
http://www.4shared.com/file/21114537...07-signed.html
8. Now copy the SPL to your memory card.
adb push update-hboot-1762007-signed.zip /sdcard/
9. Restart your phone using the home + power key till it boots up into the recovery mode.
(or just type 'adb shell reboot recovery')
10. Using the 'Flash zip file' option from the recovery, select the SPL file from the memory card and flash the HBOOT on your phone
Now i've done most of that, but when I restart into recovery mode, it keeps on randomly rebooting even though I don't want it to. I clicked on 'flash zip file' and it just rebooted right away.
Now when I flashed the recovery, the command prompt said that it did it, BUT nothing happened on my phone, it was just sitting there and didn't say it was doing anything. Could this be a problem?
OK i kept trying, and finally i got it to go into 'flash zip file', I clicked on the correct zip file, but right after clicking the screen went black and it restarted.
Does this sound like it worked? How do I check to confirm if it worked and it's rooted?
Ok I did this, and it said ADB is already running in root in the cmd, so i think i'm good!!!
Thanks!
The easiest way to test if the device is rooted is to open another command prompt in the tools dir and type
adb root
If it returns that adab is already running in root, then you're all set.
So as i said, i installed the sapphire recovery, but now i'm reading on the wiki page that you need the HERO recovery file. I need to change the radio, but then it is saying i needed the HERO recovery.
This is so damn confusing why can't anyone get this all straight and not have so many different and totally contradicting methods.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...agic32A_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod#6.35.x_Radios
The wiki here says to use the HERO recovery, but this thread only gives the sapphire recovery for the HTC magic.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
Now to clarify i checked and i think i have successfully rooted, but the specs are this.
Sapphire PVT 32A ship s-on H
Hboot-1.76.0008
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.08.29
I'm told i need to change the radio now before I can install the cyanogen rom, is this true?
I can't find out what to do because no one seems to talk about the 1.76.0008 spl...
Any help?
OK so more playing and more following guides, I installed the HERO recovery tool (1.6.2), and updated the radio to 6.35.10.18, changed my SPL to 1.76.2007, and have my PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H setup.
I'm confused though, because I did all of this work so I can install the lastest cyanogen rom, but it says it can't use this version of the radio... what the hell?
Someone REALLY needs to fix these tutorials to be self consistant.

follow this, got it all done, then go here to get the cyanogen mod...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=673394.
What do I do now?? Do I downgrade my radio or just use a different rom?

Here is a link to a test kernel port file for CM 5.0.8 from Brian Crook. This should allow you to run CM using your current Radio. Like I say it's a test port and I haven't tried it but Brian is the one that does all the ports to the Rogers 3.x radios.
http://briancrook.ca/android/testing/
you'll need to download the file bc-5.0.8-6355-ebi1-signed.zip
You would use recovery to flash CM 5.0.8 then flash this kernel port file. After that don't forget to flash the gapps package that should be linked in one of the URL's that you already posted or you can get it here http://kanged.net/mirror/download.php?file=gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed.zip
PLEASE NOTE
Do not change your radio from it's current 6.x version without flashing the matching SPL for the new radio. If you fail to flash the SPL/Radio combination correctly you WILL brick your phone.

Hi JAguirre1231,
Thanks for the response.
I Hold Back+Power or Camera+Power. In any way I boot the Dream always go in Recovery Mode.
Thanks again for Your Help.

Try to reflash radio and SPL but be careful. I can't give you warranty that you will not broke your phone completely. You have damaged data in ROM (radio & SPL) and I think that reflashing it should help you but also can damage it completly (but I think that it shouldn't happen). The risks increase fact - you must flash radio & spl from recovery but this method is strongly discouraged because of risks to broke phone (read topics about dangerSPL and why you shouldn't use recovery to flash it).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
Hi Gerdal,
Whitch version of Radios and SPL have I to reflash.
Which procedure can I follow ?
Thanks again, there are to many information and I understand that if we can chach procedure, sequence and version we can total brick the phone.

SPL - in attachments
Flash RADIO, reboot, wait - phone will reboot automatically to recovery, flash SPL, reboot and again wait before phone automatically rebot to recovery. If everything goes correct you can reboot and try to boot in fastboot.
Hi Gerdal,
I just done the two updated without errors.
I didn't resolve The dream start only in recovery mode .
I am desperate
I don't understand this thing, if I run by PC with Dream connected by USB the command:
C:\Temp\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb devices
I obtain:
List of devices attached
HT936NG00644 recovery
The devices is visisible and accesible by PC,
If I run:
C:\Temp\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot devices
Nothing is the response, I presume that the tool fastboot don't see the Dream.
Any Hel is appriacied
Regards Pippapeppa
fastboot devices will see phone only if phone is running in fastboot mode. Are you sure you pressing camera+power when you powering on phone? Can you try to flash any ROM in recovery, reboot (do not press any buttons) and try to boot to android? Maybe camera button is broken?
Actually I'm trying to find possibility to flash entire ROM (everything what is in nbh file) through recovery. This should repair everything. Maybe someone know what to do this and will write how to do that?

I haven't find any botton to switch off the Dream, the only way is reboot (HOME+BACK or PHONE+POWER+MENU). So immediatly after I press HOME+bACK I press CAMERA+POWER. Should be that the mapping of the keys are not correct ?
How can perform "Can you try to flash any ROM in recovery", I understood that this operation should be only in fastmode. If I can do it and You can tell me how should be a good way.
Thanks again
Pippapeppa
Which recovery are you using? Have you flashed once a custom recovery for example AmonRa Recovery or ClockWork recovery? If you have one of them you can flash any zip that contains ROM for example cyanogenmod. If you flash this and reboot, the phone should boot into this system. If not we need to find answer why it don't do that.
You are pressing rights buttons when you try to boot in fastboot so I don't understand why it don't works...
Sorry Gerdal I am a beginner on this space.
I explane you the context because I am very frustrated.
The device is of my collegues and I am test it for potential purchase. I have attempted to upgrade it to appreciate al the functionalities and I have done the trouble !
So I don't know which recovery I am using I know that the Dream has been rooted.
If You can be kind to explain me the major step to execute and the reference to the persion of files I will be grateful ... forever.
Thanks again

Hi Gerdal,
I have flashed with ionr1-signed.zip, the ROM installed before the Hang.
I have attempt to install and run this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9221440&postcount=39), but without result. seems the internal partition are all broke / unconfigured and any script on this partitation are unavailable.
Always the same behavior
Thanks for any help
Sorry but I can't help you. I don't understand why these ways don't work for you.
Hello all,
I have been using the super one click method to root my HTC Magic Saphhire 32A.
It works well so far albeit need to alter some SU files in the program. Running of terminal emulator with the command prompt SU confirmed that I have the superuser rights.
Now the problem is whenever I use ROM manager to reboot in recovery, the phone restart, HTC logo shows, then the next screen I see is a big asterisk and a phone image, after this I pressed Home + power, the screen manage to switch to Android system recovery utility, BUT with only 3 options:
1) Reboot system now
2) Apply sdcard:update.zip
3) Wipe data/factory reset
And in the end of the screen, there is one line highlighted in red: E: can’t open /cache/recovery/command
After the phone been rebooted, I switched off the phone. And Pressed vol - with power button, same issue happen too with the asterisk sign shows on the screen. After unrooting it, the phone recovery mode are back to normal with the 3 androids in skates appear on the screen.
Have anyone face the same problem? Any ways to sort this out? I am planning to back up my stock ROM, and wanted to try out some cyanogenmod ROM. I tried Googled and read lots of forum post but left without a solution. Any helps are appreciated! Cheers!
p/s: I am a noob in Android OS. XD
I have the legend and these is a process of booting the recovery from there as update.zip. have you tried renaming the ROM update.zip and flashing it from there?
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
I fiddled with the ROm manger setting by choosing "delete recovery prior to flashing", and now it makes it worse.
I selected "reboot in recovery" in ROM manager and the phone reboot, but just stuck at the HTC start up screen.
I plugged in the phone while trying another recovery reboot, and it still stuck at the HTC screen, but with a red line on the top saying "fastboot USB". Gosh I think i am going no way with this...
E:Can’t open /cache/recovery/command
Same fault here mytouch 3g unlocked at&t 32b downgraded too cupcake and tried

Did you flash custom recovery with ROM manager? Or you just rooted the phone with 1 click method?
Sorry for the late reply. I am just back from overseas business trips. I used Clockmod ROM Manager and did a backup, tried reboot in recovery, and the phone rebooted itself but stuck at the HTC logo now.
I can confirm that the phone is rooted with super user permission.
The reason being the phone didn't manage to get into recovery mode might be due to the missing recovery.img in the phone. Pushing the img file to phone through Clockmod didn't work apparently, so I tried command prompt from PC fastboot flash recovery c:\recoveryxyz.img. It failed too with an error remote failed.
I tried using the terminal emulator in the phone and tried pushing the recovery image again and it didn't happen too. Can some one please help? Cheers!
Download ROM manager and you have option that says install custom recovery it will install Clockwork, and you have flash alternative recovery it installs amon ra's recovery i prefer most
Will try it tonight and revert for the result. Cheers!
I have tried flashing alternate ROM through ROM manager and for once it managed to boot into recovery mode. BUT the device hang right after that, I can't select any of the options and have to pull the battery out to force shutdown.
I tried using fastboot flash recovery *.img remotely through my PC while the phone is in fastboot USB mode, and my command prompt stated FAILED (remote: not allow)
Urgh, I think I might have missed something here... Could some one please help? Cheers!

OK here is the thing did you chose right model of your phone? HTC magic is 32A and mytouch and something else is for 32B you maybe flashed the wrong one?
Thanks WoblyGoblin for taking your time to help. Yes, I have selected the correct phone model. I chose HTC Magic.

Ok here is the solution for you use this guide but download this apk and this recovery.
If you dont have 1.5 android but 1.6 download Terminal emulator from market and when you start it type first:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
Hello mate,
i just tried the method and I am stuck at FlashRec backup recovery image step.
I clicked on backup recovery image, but there is a command prompt that says:" backup FAILED: Could not run command.
FYI, I am running on Android 1.5. On the edge of giving up rooting and loading a custom ROM now and without a MARKET apps on the phone.

And commands that i gave you?
yes mate, have tried flash_image recovery command from the terminal app and tries to restart in recovery without any result.
I have did a few research and read up and found out that I am stuck with the south east asia Magic model without the google based support, with no market apps and it is perfected SPL.
Quite upset by it. LOL!

Hi
I have a little problem with flashing the custom recovery image to my phone. i searched the forum, googled, and nothing seems to work, either I get an error or the guides simply doesn't work.
I don't consider myself a noob, i rootet my Desire using ADB, and my new DHD, but my fathers HTC Magic is causing me some problems.
I followed this guide, and is now rootet. I tested, and rooting is OK.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756918
When i use this command
adb push C:\roottools\6.35Radio\Recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard
to push the custom recovery image to the phone, the command repeat itself, which should mean, that all went well.
I read that the phone itself could reflash the old recovery sometimes, so I tried this as well
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mv /sdcard/recovery.img /system/recovery.img
but get the error:
failed on '/sdcard/recovery.img' - cross device link
I tried other codes I got from old replies in the same thread as well, and still no luck.
Then I decided to get ROM manager, and flash ClockWorkMod through that, but it's not available on the market (can't find it)
Then I found the rommanager.apk and copied it to sdcard and tried to install it through apk manager, but the program isn't supported.
Now, what should I try yo get into recovery?
I've run out of ideas. please help.
Here's the info i got from HBOOT:

Also... what is the correct way to get into recovery? When I press VOL DOWN + POWER BUTTON, i get into HBOOT, I press backkey to enter fastboot, and press ANSWER CALL button... screen turns black, and phone restarts... is this wrong?
SOLVED
Found out I needed to press POWER button + HOME key instead of, to get into custom recovery why can't they make it the same on all phones
