Possibly bricked MyTouch Black non-1.2

After putting a new kernel on my device running cm 6 RC1 and supposedly clockworkmod recovery latest, I now do not have a working phone as it stops at the mytouch screen and does not go further, only thing available to use is fastboot which to my dismay, I am having the perfect spl error (remote: not allow), any insight in this problem would be much appreciated.

Just reboot into Clockworkmod Recovery and flash a new rom and the old kernel

Clockwork recovery sometimes doesn't flash correctly through rom manager. Try downloading among RA's recovery and doing "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". You will need an engineering spl though.

Something went wrong. I don't know why all you new android nubs have to use "clockwork or "sp" recovery. A good ol Recovery image like Amon Ra's latest 1.7.0G works great. Anyway, you didn't brick the device. Just try re-flashing or flashing another rom. (one you know for a fact works) Oh, if you did a nandroid backup, I suggest you restore it. And if you can't get into "clockwork" recovery upon boot. Then I suggest you do what @caedus90 advised and flash Amon RA's recovery through ADB.
Hope this helps. And stop using those idiot friendly recovery alternatives. =P

OMG...I feel so dumb right now...I don't know why I didn't just stick with Amon's recovery...I got curious too and try to use Rom Manager to play around and now I am stuck as well...but my case is a little different in that I cannot get into recovery BUT my phone still boots right into Android like normal...
I flashed Amon's recovery via Rom Manager but still cannot get back into recovery...flashed ClockworkMod recovery but still no recovery...
So advice, please...I think I've learned my lesson and stay with the manual work from now on...lol...I was totally fine with Amon's recovery too...guess my curiosity will kill the cat eventually if I don't wise up...
What's the best way to get recovery back? I have Cyanogen's CM6 on my mt3g 32b...Much thanks for any advice...
UPDATE: Just thought I let you guys know that I was able to get Amon's recovery to work again by keep trying the reflash while in Rom Manager thanks to a tip from another member...Last time I'm touching Rom Manager...It's not a bad program, just us users who are causing problem...

stuck on boot screen... repeatedly

hi,
i gained root acces to my vodafone magic 32b a few days ago using the goldcard method but have not been able to successfully install any custom roms. i have folowed many how to's off the unlockr and this forum the cyanogen wiki all of it and still have been unable to install a rom. every time i try to install a rom my phone is stuck at the vodafone boot screen and does not come out of it. i installed rom manager in the hopes that will fix my problem but it did not flash the clockwork recovery option sayong it does not have permission....i decided to change from ra recovery top the clockwork recovery manually and bypassing the rom manager requirement to flash it, when i try to install the rom through rom manager it says click okay to reboot into recover mode i click okay and my phone does nothing.... please help for some reason im stuck on android 1.5!!
solved problem

[Q] how can i backup the stock recovery???

I have just rootet my magic, but i cant backup my recovery with recovery flasher 1.1.3 .
I think the last 1.5 rom for magic 32a is patched against flash recovery.
And the rom manager doesnt support a backup of the current recovery.
How can backup my stock recovery??
Magic 32a s-on h
1.76.0009 spl
6.35 radio

no one an idea?
i'll be sure, before i flash a custom recovery, i am able to go back.
so i need a orginal recovery.img
the best would be the own, but i cant backup the recovery.

Its not that we don't know how it's just thar there is no reason to.. if you can get into the bootloader you can restore the stock rom via SAPPIMG.zip or SAPPIMG.nbh .. this includes the stock recovery.
Having a stock recovery on a custom rom is not very useful.
Just note while you have the 6.x radio you want a hero custom recovery
(Advance users unzip the sappimg and grab recovery.img ..)

thanks for the information about the SAPPIMG.zip or SAPPIMG.nbh, it was very usefull.
i'll try the clockwork recovery with the rommanager out of market.
i think this is possible, or isnt it?
with the 6.35 radio?

I've heard about lots of bricked phones thanks to clockwork/rom manager. Use AmonRA's recovery.

In theory it will be fine if you use the hero recovery not the ion/magic one..
But given the confusion/problems/near bricks of others.. I agree getting the hero RA recovery and booting it manually with home+power is the safest way... that way if you goof you just boot android normally and try the flash again.

ok i will flash amonRA recovery.

[Q] Problems HTC MAgic 32b recovery mode

HTC Magic
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B
HBOOT-1-33.006
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.261
I have problems getting in to the recovery mode (pwr button + home) it just gives me de red vodafone screen and hangs.
I am trying to install a custom rom.
- rooted the device with universal androot. it says my device is rooted succesfully.
- i also installed rom manager and installed the default clockwork recovery.
But i cant reboot into flash recovery.
I also tried another thread with a custem flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img. I followed it's instructions.
the instructions tells me on a terminal session or CMD prompt to install this custom ROM.
adb shell
su
(Now look at your device. If the superuser app is asking for permissions, then just push "allow" and make sure that the "remember" option is checked.)
cd /system/bin
ls
But i get no permission. I cant get root user when i type su.
so I must not have a rooted device or my permissions are incorrect on the sd-card.
Does anyone have an idea what i should do?

Did you reboot your phone after running Universal Androot?

What happens if you switch off the phone and then press and hold home button while pressing the on/of button to switch on the phone.
If you are root and have installed the recovery properly, it should be shown within a few seconds after showing the red vodafon screen. From there you should be able to flash any custom rom. Meanwhile I flashed many recoveries and roms on both my tattoo and my magic 32b. Never had any problem execept those when forgetting to wipe.
And to be honest, I'm far away from beeing an expert!

I installed rom manager first and then universal androot.
also when i use adb from the android sdk i sometimes get the problem that i have no permission.
Could it be that the phone is'nt correctly rooted?
I tried all kinds of tools either on pc or mac. nithing really works
what would be the best way to root the HTC Magic correctly and what recovery image should i use. Also wich order.
I'm quite the noob when it comes to installing custom roms

Try "SuperOneClickv1.6.3-ShortFuse.zip" (available at xda).
This was very easy to use and worked like a charm.
I used it twice on my magic 32b, no problem!

I tried that also.
the rooting works. I tried an app to check if i have root access and it says I have root acces.
but when I use adb commands and su to root it will say no permission.
i think this is why installing the recovery in clockwork fails.
any suggestions?

I'll repeat myself. Have you rebooted the phone after running the root programs? Either one?

yes. I rebooted after each try but still I can't get into recovery mode. it just hangs.
also when i try to install a recovery image file i still get the no permissions errors.
the only recovery mode install that worked was the recovery from clockwork in ROM manager.

If ADB is working, goto shell (adb shell).
What do you see in prompt,
is it '$' or '#'?
If it's '$' try "su".
What is the output of "id"?
If you're root you should see something like "uid=0(root) gid=0(root)"

I See a $ and my id is shell instead of root.
if I type su it will give me a no permission error.
however I did download a terminal tool for android
from there I can su and it will make me root.
is there anyway i can use the terminal to install a recovery image so that if i boot my phone with home+power I will get into the recovery?

Try something like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4056530&postcount=6
Replace the recovery image in the post by for example recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img.
I did it almost the same way.

I was also having a recovery problem (Tmobile) after trying to flash_image RA-1.7.0G into recovery in rooted 2.2.1 OTA (obviously not the way to go). I downloaded the Clockwork Rom Manager from the Market and it was able to flash both Clockwork or Amon RA recovery with no problem and then reboot it into recovery.

When you reboot and go into recovery, does it load amon_RA or clockworkmod?
I had problems with that from the 2.2.1 OTA.
I was rooted for a long time, and then had to try the t-mo 2.2.1 so I unrooted and ran that for a while after their ota update. It was sluggish and I didn't much like it so I thought I would try using z4root and superoneclick to root it and put setcpu and overclock it a bit to see if it improved. Z4root didn 't work and superoneclick appeared to work. If you went into terminal it would give you # and seem to be rooted. I could install and run set cpu and it would work. However no matter what recovery I tried to install, it would disappear and return to stock recovery upon reboot with the 2.2.1 OTA.
You could get rom manager to load, or seemingly so , clockworkmod recovery. You could also have rom manager load into clockworkmod from within rom manager. Buit as soon as you reboot, it goes back to the default stock recovery.
I eventually gave up with that and decided to reroot old school and rooted it manuallyl. I went back to the sappimg.nbh file, installing the old cyanogen 1.4 recovery, the 1.33.2005 SPL. I then put clockwork mod 2.5.0.7 recovery on and then the t-mo 2.22.23.02. I was running cm6.1 for a while and now Yoshi's ginger rom.
And so, after this wandering tale, lol, I am wondering if you had more success that I did with the 2.2.1 and getting a recovery to load.

You could have just got booted into recovery once, flashed the engineering SPL only (there's a ZIP you can flash from recovery to do this), which would only change the SPL, from recovery, then erase/reflash the recovery from fastboot, and finally change the SPL back.

Thanks; that is very useful , and I didn't even think of that at the time. I think I was so frustrated that the recovery would not stay I just had a "I will make it work moment" and I knew what I was doing would work.
But thanks, I will definitely remember that if I have to do that again

Just here to help ;D

[Q] replace StockRom Recovery with CW recovery in stock rom ----- ( PLEASE REPLY )

is it possible to replace official recovery with clockwork recovery in stock rom?
i have a goldcard but it does not let me sappimg roms different from my stock rom.
i donot have a cw or amon recovery. i need the recovery to get the engineering spl.
since only my stockrom can be sappimg'ed, how can i get the clockwork recovery by replacing My stockrom's original recovery with the cw/amon recovery??
can it be done??
thanks.
-------reason...
i had 3.22 radio, but i flashed another stockrom (htc europe 3.05 rom) which was devided in rom and rom1 files. i flashed rom1, sys,userdata,recovery. rom file had hboot,boot and radio 6.35.
i was unable to flash rom file (hboot,boot and radio 6.35) because when radio starts updating, the screen starts changing colours to grey for, like, 40 minutes (does this normally happen??)
now i have old radio, incompatible hboot/boot file- to correct it, i need Recovery
---EDIT---
MY phones stuck in hboot mode, i have no other option except goldcard, but what about what i have written, does it work?

Download rom manager from the market, although depending on your rom it may not be available (android 2.1) if not download it off Google by typing, rom manager.apk. Once installed you can add the new clockwork recovery or the RA recovery via the application, they both work fine. Hope that's helped!

You can, but i suppose that Amon Ra is better than others.

I would also suggest same solution as Tenpin wrote. Rom manager and it allows to change recovery (I suggest Amon Ra as well).

If you do get your phone sorted, remember the stock Rom reflashes the stock recovery every time you shut your phone down.
Also, I believe if you extract the proper signed Rom.zip from the ruu and put it on your sdcard and press volume down when in fastboot, it should search for and flash the Rom.zip. At least then you will have a Rom to boot into to flash a new recovery.
My old hero messed up once too, I would seriously recommend flashing the s-off bootloader, makes recovering from errors such as this so much easier.
