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

Hi, I was on hboot 1.01.0001 so I finally got S-OFFed today. I flashed Ruu 1.37 and now I am on hboot 0.80.0007 and S-OFF.
However, I can't root with Unrevoked (tried 3.21, 3.22 and 3.32 Windows and Ubuntu versions, where I could root the same ROM time ago).
I also can't flash a Clockworkmod recovery from the recovery I have now (stock one) for failed signature verification and I don't know what to do... Now i get Bakcup CID missing in Unrevoked too...
Please any help. It must be a little thing, but I don't know.
EDIT: I finally got it with a test version of Unrevoked. Posted in the 4th post of this thread.
Thanks

Same here. Got S-OFF and superuser is working now. Unrevoked says Can't root is you firmware to new.
Rom Manager says it installs Clockwork recovery but recovery is not working??
Anyone?

But are you still on hboot 1.01.0001? Because if Unrevoked says Can't root is you firmware to new that may be. Or have you flashed an older RUU?
How have you got superuser???

Hey! If you are in hboot 0.80 (Flash 1.37 RUU), I finally found a test version of Unrevoked here that installed Clockworkmod recovery!!!
http://rootmydroid.co.uk/guides/howto-fix-the-backup-cid-missing-error-on-unrevoked/
Option 1--> downlod the file, is the Unrevoked test version. Run it, it works!!
I hope if it useful to somebody.
Do you guys even know what's the purpose of having S-OFF?!
If you phone's NAND is unlocked, just get temp root and flash the recovery

Hey I am sorry! I did what I could. I tried Unrevoked and didn't work so I eventually got an Unrevoked version that did the trick.
Excuse me if I can't do another way without having the steps to follow.
I had the same problem first i set s-off, then flashed and older RUU, then unrevoked 3.14 and that worked for me......so good and easy and fast!

Yeah, the test version I posted was 3.22. I ll note myself that 3.14 works for the next time. Thanks
strange...newer is not always better ........lol
If you get the error-message concerning the cid in Unrevoked - just adb into the phone, run the __unrevoked__ script in /system and flash the clockwork-mod after that. From there you can install rooted images like you want ..

Thank you! I will keep that in mind.
Just fix your .misc file, as descriped in this post ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824396 ) - when done, then re-run unrevoked

I read a post about this file but I found it hard and risky. Decided to use a test version of Unrevoked as said before.
Thanks for the ost anyway. Will be useful.

xtc clip s-off
I got the same error message but got rooted with and older version of unrevoked...then the problem was solved. Much more easy and more safe i guess . I dont know if this work for every one but for me it did.
Rooting after S-OFF
Hi guys,
I`ll share here my experience.
There are mainly two different methods (with some variations) of obtaining ROOT after S-OFF (with XTC Clip).
1-st (and likely undesirable to me) is exactly: downgrading > Unrevoked > upgrading.
- And why so?
There have some disadvantages:
- downgrading is additional flashing of the device and is unnecessary at all (you`ll see later).
- need of connection to computer.
2-nd (very desirable metnod) is to install CWM Recovery right away S-OFF. Even this procedure is not a must, but makes your life easier. Then You can flash right from SD card whichever ROM you like.
- And what advantage gives this to me?
- Only 1 flash procedure, no need of downgrades. Flashing with already rooted ROM (any custom or rooted stock) gives you ROOT access with only 1 step.
- There is no Unrevoked procedure, thats mean no need of computer connection at all.
The most painless and secure algorithm is:
1. S-OFF (by XTC Clip)
2. Install ClockWorkMod (CWM) Recovery - Here you`ll find recovery .img and .zip for all supported models.
How to install CWM Recovery?
As example I`ll give Wildfire aka Buzz:
- You`ll need to upload PC49IMG.zip (last CWM 3.0.0.6) on top of your sdcard ( NOT in any folder).
- Boot the smart in bootloader (holding VOLUME DOWN then POWER). You will be asked to install the ZIP file (Yes is right answer). Recovery will then install automatic, DO NOT press any buttons before finishing of process.
3. Backup/Restore Your current ROM:
- Starting Recovery: in bootloader navigate (with VOLUM DOWN) to "recovery", then POWER to enter in CWM Recovery menu.
- Navigation: TRACKPAD or VOLUME button to navigate trough menus, to select them press TRACKPAD button. Use BACK touch button to back in menus.
- Backup: you`ll find "Backup" menu under "backup and restore" main menu - When pressing "Backup" then CWM will perform backup of current state of the device. If succeed you'll see "Backup complete" message.
- Restore: you`ll see this menu as "Restore" right under "Backup". The menu gives you a list of available backups to restore. There have to be at least 1 backup to perform restore operation.
4. Wipe ONLY cache/dalvik when performing next step (5.) (if you want to save all data and settings, else do data/factory reset also which is recommended before flashing any custom ROM):
- just "wipe cache partition" in main menu and under "advanced" perform "Wipe Dalvik Cache".
- "wipe data/factory reset" - perform this action, ONLY if want to flash custom ROMs. This action will RESET smart to its factory settings (you`ll lose all data and settings except those saved on sdcard).
5.(optional) Install su binary with Superuser rootpack:
- download Eclair-Froyo-Gingerbread rootpack
- place the file as is on sdcard or in some folder on sdcard (there is no need to be on top of sdcard)
- boot in recovery and go to "install zip from sdcard" menu, then "choose zip from sdcard" submenu - here you can browse through sdcard folders and install su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip (or your ROM or any update, e.g. radio, kernel etc.).
6.(optional) Make backup of Rooted ROM - see (3. : Backup)
7.(optional) Install some backup application like Titanium Backup (or PRO) or MyBackupRoot (or PRO) - this is optional but recommended. When backing up your Applications+Data you can restore them even after flashing custom ROM (which is performed after data/factory reset, and all applications and data will be wiped).
8. Install any custom or stock ROM:
- for stock ROM see 5.
- for custom ROM perform 4. (including "wipe data/factory reset"), then 5.
9.(optional) Restore Your applications and data - when Custom ROM is installed there is need to perform data/factory reset. Any backup of applications and data performed in step (7.) could be restored in freshly flashed Custom ROM.
NOTE: Later on I`ll add some additional stuff here - useful links and more deep explanation of mentioned algorithm if needed.
Happy Rooting!

Because for the price of XTC Clip, you can get a new phone...
Hi,
i want to backup my current stock rom (froyo 3.15.405.3) in order to "safely" experiment with custom roms or overclock kernels.
To do so i temp root my legend with visionary+ (wich is the only rooting app that seems to work on the legend),run rom manager and select backup current rom.
After this my phone reboots and seems to hang on a red triangle screen.
The same happens when i try to install clockworkmod.
Since i'm an unexperienced Android-user,i have no idea what i'm doing wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Forgot to mention: after i remove the battery for a few seconds it boots normally.
You need full-root to run Clockworkmod.
RomManager is just like an Android GUI for Clockworkmod.
Temproot is root as long you don't restart it.
To start Clockworkmod you have to reboot into recovery (the Triangle Thingy)
You could try to press Volume Up and Power at the same time when you are on this screen, then you normally should be able to navigate the cursor with the volume buttons to something with flash update.zip.
Navigate to that and press power - then you should be in Clockworkmod.
It works at least if you have root. I'm unsure if you can backup and even boot into CWM without root.
Temproot is like no root in this case.
Hi,
thanks for the info.
I was aware of the fact that a temp root was only until next reboot but i was hoping this was enough.
Guess not.
So i'll have to full root,to try custom roms.
I'll probably try this tomorow...
Hope i won't brick it.
Thanks.
Rooting (downgrading) failed.
Starting new thread...
I rooted the phone but clockworkmod didn't install, the S-OFF is working so what can be the issue?
Should I go a different method to rooting the phone?
You can use Rom Manager to flash the newest version of Clockwork.
If you want to use RA recovery, which most recommend, this file put on your sdcard and then loading into the bootloader [volume down held while powering on the phone] and then saying yes to the dialog will put RA on for you.
I recently rooted my TMo M919 UVAMDL using CP-AUTO-FLASH via ODIN and then installed CWM recovery 6.0.3.2 from ROM Manager. Every time I boot into recovery from ROM Manager (for example to create a backup), when I exit recovery, I am asked if I would like to install stock recovery and I am told that if I do, the change cannot be reversed. Of course, I choose NO but this scares me so I wish to remove the install-recovery.sh file.
I have tried many times to remove install-recovery.sh from the Root/System/etc. folder using Root Explorer, Each time I try to change the file permissions to R/W, I am told that I am not permitted to do so for some system files.
Am I doing something wrong or missing something?
If I do accidentally revert to the stock recovery, is it really irreversible?
If I try to enter recovery using the Volume UP / Home / On-Off buttons, will I lose CWM recovery?
Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated.
