[Q] Needing to get froyo on my HTC Magic - myTouch 3G, Magic General

So I downloaded Clockwork Mod onto my phone and I have root access (thanks to AndRoot) -- so I've been able to flash the ClockworkMod recovery or the RA recovery onto my phone.
However it won't let me boot into the recovery mode (HOME+POWER).
The odd time I can boot into the Clockwork recovery, but as soon as a screen comes up it immediately reboots and then it won't let me boot up.
With RA recovery it wont' get me into anything....
Any suggestions? It's an HTC Magic (Rogers), so it's a 32A phone (as far as I know) and it's really a pain living with just 2.1.

When flashing RA recovery, are you using H? G is for 32B.

yup it was like 1.70h or whatever... made sure of that
but it would never boot into recovery mode...

Dwnload rom manager from market. The app has an option to reboot into recovery. I haven't tried it personally but hope it helps.

i've tried rebooting into the mode that way... still when it reboots and just as i see something it reboots automatically again... and then it'll just come up with that warning screen and i'll have to pull the battery

Rom Manager Killed my recovery....help? (32B)

Basically i desided i would give the Rom manger and Clock Work Recovery a try, So i downloaded the App from the market and installed it then used it to flash the recovery. However now when i try to boot into recovery it just hangs at the Vodafone Screen at boot up.
I tried to reflash RA Recovery however if i do it within the Rom Manager it does the same and hangs when trying to boot to recovery mode. I tried flashing it by the terminal but that did work either.
So does anyone know what i should do!
try flashing via fastboot
how do i use fastboot? when i boot to fast boot the only options i have are
HBoot Mode
Reset device
Restart to HBoot
Power down
OK i tried flashing using fastboot but i got an error 'FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)'
same problem
i got the saame problem as youu!

I have been able to fix my problem hope this helps for you to!
i downloaded Amon_RA's recovery and trying installing using the terminal method. I got memory errors saying i was out of memory etc. so i turned SWAP on with 128mb and then swappyness to 60 an tried again, and this time it worked!
Couldnt be complete luck but i would give it a try if i was you
What worked for me.
I had this same problem. I spent hours and hours trying everything under the sun. This happened to me on Cyanogen 5.0.7 DStest7. I notice a lot of people on the cyanogen forum claiming that's what they use. I purchased the pro version and installed clockwork recovery through the app. I tried a lot of things and they all failed. I tried droid explorer exe to flash the recovery, fastboot method, I tried reflashing clockwork, terminal with and with out memory managers running. Finally, I tried flashing the Amon 1.6.2 recovery 3 times in a row with the clockwork app. I did a reboot every time. The last one took and I uninstalled clockwork. I'll probably never change it.
it has only killed your recovery because you selected the wrong option, you must flash the first option (Ion/MyTouch 3G) this is the version for the vodafone 32B handset
I was also frustrated when i chose the HTC Magic option and it hanging on the red voda splash screen
Hope i helped
please somebody helps me with the recovery as well..
im using motorola milestone..
i rooted my phone using UNIVERSAL ANDROOT.. the rooting went fine... plus flashing the clockwork recovery via rom manager went fine.. but everytime i reboot into recovery the recovery triangle logo just blinks for a second and my phone reboots and comes back normally to the homescreen.. how to ablolish this problem?
Best Regards.
I too am experiencing this problem. Flashed CWM Recovery today, then later flashed amon ra. Got into amon ra and successfully did a nand backup, then left it for a few hours. Just now tried to boot into recovery and got the oem android recovery 2e. Wtf is that about??

Click to expand...

You have a few options.
1) load the PD15IMG and boot into Hboot and reset the entire system, but you will have a clean slate and have to start 100% over again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863899
2) boot into HBoot and navigate to (recovery) and see what type of a recovery image you have. If it is orange you can load Cyanogen CM7RC1 w/ the G/APPS and get your phone rocking with 2.3 (Gingerbread)
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/15769-cyanogenmod-7-for-mytouch-4g-v700-rc1-2152011/
3) boot into HBoot and navigate to (recovery) and see what type of a recovery image you have. If it is Green then you can load any 2.2 based ROM. along with the G/APPS (if needed) there are many of these in the Development section.
4) If you have a triangle with a "!" in it then you need to flash a recovery image. Once again there are multiple threads on this in the development section.
(to get into HBoot turn off the phone, power on the phone holding the volume down button and the power button)

[Fixed] Recovery Problem

I just perm rooted my shift and i flashed the recovery with the latest clockwork mod i think its like 3.0.14 or somethin anyways I cant access the recovery screen. I've installed roms before on the G1 but i cant figure this out. I can get to fastboot and i try and get to bootloader from there but it sits at the white screen with the HTC logo. I tried to install the rom from rom manager and that did the same logo screen.
I'd really like to get gingerbread workin so it would be nice if someone has a fix 8)
Thanks for reading my post.
I would reflash the recovery and reboot the phone if this doesn't work manually flash the recovery to the phone then boot to recovery from the bootloader.
Killer Shift
I had to set it up through fastboot. I figured it out like an hour after i posted. I hope this helps anyone with the same problem. Go to the perm-root for dummies and scroll down to the recovery instructions. Bam done.

[Q] stuck in boot loop after flash

I tried to flash cyanogenmod onto my vodafone 32B HTC Magic and now it's stuck on a boot loop. I rooted it with super one click, then used amon-ra recovery to load up cyanogenmod. It got to the vodafone red screen then just keeps restarting once every 20 secs or so. I suspect it's because I didn't do a full wipe before flashing, I only clearled dalvik cache. So I tried booting up to recovery but amon-ra isn't loading up and its going back to the android default recovery, which I cant use to reflash another rom. I can't communicate with the phone via ADB (does not recognise device). fastboot can recognise the phone but I can't push anything onto it since I didn't update my SPL (it's at s-on).
So is there any way for me to get amon-ra recovery back onto it or otherwise boot up my phone again?
Find a sappimg.zip and flash that and start over is what I would suggest
I concur :0)

[Q] Booting into clockwork recovery

I'm running an old version of GummyJAR and am trying to switch over to CM7 official nightlies. My phone is already rooted and I installed Clockwork Recovery from ROM Manager. However, when I boot into bootstrap from poweroff it just says:
Bootloader
30.04
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
There's no options to select from or anything. When I boot into Clockwork with ROM Manager, my phone just reboots and starts up normally again. Am I missing something here?
When you say you are booting into bootstrap (the screen that says 30.04) you are actually booting into the bootloader that we use to sbf the phone, not recovery.
Now as for not getting into recovery from bootstrap on the phone, you may want to go into rom manager and reflash the latest recovery, and then boot into recovery from rom manager. That may solve the problem.
I hope this helps!
