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:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.0009 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.08.29

HBOOT
EDIT: I noticed that S-ON is... ON... and I now, that this is set to off on DHD... dunno what it is, but could this be the reason?
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

Hi all,
I hope somenone can help me with the following:
My phone (as it was when it came out of the box):
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0004 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
After many months of reading about rooting etc. I took the plunge and did the following:
- installed the sdk and made sure adb was working
- fastboot recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G
- made a nandroid backup
- adb push recover to sd card
- adb shell to flash recovery permanently
- flashed Defanged base and flashed cyanogen rom
All the above worked like a dream. Tried stable rom first:
update-cm-4.2.15.1-signed and then got really exited and tried update-cm-5.0.7-DS-test5-signed. (after a wipe)
Again all this worked like a dream.
I then wanted to see how well the nandroid restore would work. So i booted into recovery and performed a wipe before the restore.
Wow this was going so well. I now had my phone back in its original state.
Clearly i was ready for more so wanted to go back to cyanogen rom.
As i booted into recovery (home button+power button) it stopped booting into recovery but instead displays a white triangle with a yellow exclamation mark and a little phone.
What have i done wrong? I can still fastboot into recovery.
I also tried reflashing the recovery but now get permission denied.
hope someone can help
Kind regards,
PS. I am now back on update-cm-5.0.7-DS-test5-signed
I used fastboot to get to recovery, wiped and reflashed. So that all works.
I just don't understand why i cant get into the recovery i flashed in the first place without using fastboot
What details say on fastboot? What SPL Radio type of phone etc . Thanks

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 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.

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...

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.
My goal: to install a CyanogenMod or custom rom, and flash a custom recovery, along with something called an "engineering SPL".
Howdy all! You may or may not know me from the Atrix forums, but I'm an avid supporter of xda and have been a member for six months. Recently, I rediscovered an old Mytouch 3g (32B) that my mom had let me have a long while back. Here's what I've got so far, and what I need help with:
Yesterday I spent 14 hours combing the forums and google searching. I am using this guide to basically wipe and start fresh. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807899 I got all that DONE, starting with the sapphire and upgrading to 1.6 then installing the SPL and finally to froyo 2.2.1. (Now keep in mind, I have no data plan on the sim card inserted into this phone, so I have to use froyo in order to skip the google account setup.) When I start my phone using back button + power, it shows:

Here's my question. I've tried multiple times to flash an engineering SPL and custom recovery. I have used SuperOneclick to root, and it worked fine. But I can't use any of the methods for flashing a custom recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
because I can't install an engineering SPL (from stock recovery it tells me it isn't signed), don't have access to fastboot (because no SPL), it doesn't work right when running from terminal (tells me can't find flash_image), and to use it via ADB it says I need a custom recovery, which is what i'm TRYING desperately to get lol. I'm not sure where to go from here, I've tried Clockwork Mod recovery and it flashes fine. Then I hit reboot into recovery and get rebooted into stock recovery. So....I dunno what to do at this point. I would appreciate any help I can get, I've spent a LOT of time on this already lol.
Mmm... I notice that is no manual to use flash_image, and this section is not easy to explain...
Note: Many official roms do not have binary flash_image. But it can be installed manually.
1. Download this: http://www.2shared.com/file/sfPPeA5G/flash_image.html
2. Download custom recovery according radio
- AmonRa 1.7.0 G - for radio 2.22.XX.XX
- AmonRa 1.7.0 H - for radio 3.22.XX.XX
- AmonRa 1.6.2 H patched by cursordroid - for radio 6.35.XX.XX
3. Copy flash_image and recovery to root of sdcard
4. Make sure Android SDK Tools configured and run to enter into terminal
Code:
adb shell
5. Copy flash_image into the phone
Code:
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/local/tmp/flash_image
6. Change permissions
Code:
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/flash_image
7. Flash recovery
Code:
/data/local/tmp/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
8. Turn phone off, then turn on by pressing Home + Power to check recovery (custom recoveries show their versions in bottom line)
Thank you soooo much! I was thinking "oh no one will answer me in such an old forum I'm dooomed!" But I was wrong! Thanks again this worked like a charm, I'm now running Cyanogenmod 6.1 on my mytouch 3g! I'm going to be looking around for the fastest ROM I can find since this only has 192 mb of RAM lol. Thanks again!

I tried flashing sappimg nbh and zip nbh says main is older
Zip seems as it flashes completes and go str8 back to hboot like nothing happened.
Tried to back up rec but says backup failed
And will not do anything with rom managers, says flashed recovery complete but in recovery mode shows a triangle.
Also 1 click works, su shows up in terminal..
I seen that this new update doesn't work yet
I tried searching but nothing. So if I just have to wait just say so.
But if something comes out please let me know.
And yes yes I know I shouldn't have updates now, but I didn't know before hand (obviously).
So thanks ahead for responses.

Okay, I'm not going to get into why you can't flash a custom recovery, but if you have "Root" then just do this . . .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428838 : My Unroot/ReRoot Guide .
::----:: You might run into an issue where you can't change your recovery. . .Heres the Fix.
1.) Put Your Recovery.img on your SDCard : (CW Recovery)Click the above link..
2.) Put flash_image on your SDCard : Click the above link.
3.) Open up terminal/adb (which ever you prefer) :v:

adb shell

Before getting root and installing custom recovery it is strongly recommended do wipe data / factory reset. Make sure you have backup.

rooting mytouch 3g
i have a mytouch 3g with google, has stock 2.2.1 on it, i finally got the computer to recognize it and now i can get to the SD card thru my computer, but i can't find any way to root this phone at all, i keep seeing that superoneclick method works but i can't get it to work for me, i hook the phone up, push root and it gets halfway thru the steps and stops, what am i doin wrong? do i need a certain exploit set up in superoneclick?
Supeoneclick creates log on screen. Go to pastebin.com, post log there and give me link. I guess, you have problem 'no enough space'...
