Have a non-Sprint Hero, that will only boot to ClockworkMod Recovery and gives error E:Can't read MISC: (no space left on device). I have flashed several ROMs same error. Tried to update with RUU from PC, but get error that it can't recognize device. But I can see the SD card from my PC, so I know its connected. Any ideas? Thanks
I have not seen that error before!
Have you tried booting into the bootloader by pressing volume up and power and then try running an ruu. The ruu can not be ran in recovery.
If you are trying to get it back on Sprint you'll have to do some other things. You might also try flashing a different recovery. When you boot into recovery can you adb shell into it?

It will only go in the Clockworkmod recovery, vol- power button doesn't work. Think internal rom partitions are corrupt, when I send adb device command get "0000000000 and recovery".
Try flashing the recovery again.
Did you use to have firerats partition manager?

Problem solved. The clockworkmod was corrupt, all its features worked but wouldn't allow the software to boot. I re-flashed clockwork using adb and corrected the problem. Thanks for all your help.

I've been reading up about what to do after I tried to "factory reset" my phone and then was stuck at the htc start up soon, which kept looping.
I've been trying to load recovery.img during fastboot (back+power) and then to apply update.zip during recovery (home+power).
However, the problem is that during fastboot, the device isn't recognized (when I go to adb devices on command prompt, no device is listed). I know that my drivers are good bc the device is found when I start up in the recovery mode. I tried to skip the part where I load recovery.img (since when I try to do that, it tells me that it can't be loaded), and to go straight to apply update.zip, but then the phone tells me that update.zip is either bad or can't be mounted.
I have a Rogers Magic (32A). I am a complete newbie, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I should also say that before I tried to do the factor reset, the phone was on the hero rom loaded by a previous user.
try this:
boot in recovery:
fastboot boot recovery.img
then, push update.zip on your sd card ( need a good rom in the tools folder on your computer)
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push update.zip /sdcard
and apply update.zip with the recovery menu.
thanks for your reply, but it didn't work:
first, it said "cannot load recovery.img"
and then when I tried to mount, it said "mount: mounting dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed: Device or resource busy"
replace recovery to correct path to your recovery image. (your phone mut be in fastboot mode power with back button pressed)
ex:
fastboot boot c:\sdk\tools\recovery-RAv1.2.1G.img
then your phone must boot on recovery and you could push update.zip
thanks so much. I figued it out - just a simple problem of the update.zip file being corrupt.

Hi. My magic is having the same issues. Although I believe it is my own doing. I was going to create a gold card and I flashed the sappimg.zip, I can boot the phone into fastboot but it us not seen, when I run the fast boot command it just says waiting on device..
I can boot the phone up normally but it does not want to connect to the market our link my gmail account to it..
All to jailbreak... Any ideas?
Edit....
I must have had a poor internet connection last night. I have got the market working.

I am having the same problem.
I have a 32b on vodafone uk.
all the device adb drivers have installed fine. I have tried this on both my laptop and desktop (win 7) and when the phone is turned on - it shows fine under adb devices.
When i boot to fastboot, the phone doesnt show, and therefore i cannot load a custom rom.
Trying to root the phone I have so far used the goldcard method to downgrade to get back to 1.5, if i try to flash the recovery img from the phone (using flash rec) then when i boot to recovery (home+power) it hangs on the vodafone screen - this is why i wont to flash from fastboot.
any ideas?
Thanks
phone rooted?
FlashRec is out of date, I'm pretty sure. Is your phone rooted already, or are you at stock?
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?

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...

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.
Did you install the recovery?

Please refer to the previous post for more info. Cheers!
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.

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!

I've searched on here but can not find an answer for my particluar error.
From Rom Manager I select Install ROM from CD card. When it boots up I get the red exclaimation mark. Then i press volume up and power.
The first thing i see is android recovery with E: can't open cache/recovery/command
According to ROM manager I have ClockwordMod Recovery 2.5.1.3
ever seen this? any way around it?
Thanks
Try flashing recovery again via ROM manager. For some users flashing it just once doesn't work.
I've tried flashing clockwork a few times. Still no luck..
Do you have ENG S-OFF? If so you could try via fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_x.x.x.x.img
ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 --> HERE -- (CM7)
ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.2 --> HERE -- (Everything Else)
I have the same exact problems, do i need to have S-OFF also, i read this threat

It seems I bricked my Desire Z. That'll teach me for messing with custom roms
I only get the bootloader (the white screen with coloured text). Everything I do from there either does nothing or just goes to a white screen with a green HTC logo and then hangs.
I tried flashing Cyanogenmod by renaming the zip pc10img.zip, this failed. I tried installing an official G2 rom from the SD, this also failed. When I turn the thing on I get a green HTC logo, when I try to go to recovery it's the same story.
Can anyone help me get my phone back to life?
When you get in to recovery are you getting any error messages?
Have you tried restoring a nandroid backup or trying a different sd card?
And re-naming a rom to PC10IMG.zip will never work
I don't get an error message, it just hangs at the HTC logo. Same when I reboot the phone.
I don't have a backup since the last time I tried using one, it didn't work. Besides, I don't have Clockwork so I wouldn't be able to restore it even if I had one

You cant get in to clockwork. have you tried using adb?
Not yet. Is it possible to flash a rom or even just clockwork through adb?
I'm sorry for being such a n00b about this, I'm just not that experienced yet with android devices. Used to change roms on my WinMo device all the time but Android's... quite different
If you have the ENG Hboot you can flash the recovery from fastboot....
If you have the sdk set up on your computer do the command (after putting the clockwork recovery in your sdk folder):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then go to the recovery, wipe and flash
I now have the issue that ADB won't see the phone. The phone says HBOOT USB PLUG so it knows it's connected through USB, it shows up in my device manager but ADB won't recognise it. Any suggestions?
adb won't work in hboot/fastboot mode, you need to get the fastboot executable.
It might be in your tools folder for adb.
You can make sure its working by running 'fastboot devices'

Thanks! Fastboot detects the device Now I can try to fix stuff.
It worked! I managed to install Clockwork Recovery using Fastboot and after that installing Cyanogenmod was a piece of cake Thanks you guys!
The most important thing I learned from playing with roms is how to read the manual. Be careful out there.

Ahem, guys, where can I find fastboot executable? I checked everywhere in the android-sdk directory but I can't find it. I even updated to the latest SDK tools, and yet fastboot is still MIA.
Always and I mean ALWAYS create backups of your working roms, I cannot stress this enough.
You can copy files onto your sdcard using adb then force boot into cwm. Thank goodness for adb

So I successfully downgraded back to Froyo. I followed the Rooting process exactly, mdr #'s 2 and 3 matched. I entered the reboot command, and now my phone only vibrates 3-4 times when you turn it on. the led keeps flashing. and nothing is happening with the screen. I cant get it to the bootloader screen either

I can now get into the bootloader and Clockwork. but now it just gets stuck on the Clockwork mod loading screen when i update .zip file from sd. I tried the factory reset, nothing. It shows S-Off though lol. Is there any info that I can give you guys from the menus I have available in order to help decode what I did wrong/what went wrong?
Try this...Take the original 2.3.4 update and put it in your sd card.(assuming your pc detects the sd card). Take the battery out if the phone for about 10 min. try to boot into hboot and reflash the phone back to stock. Then redowngrade and root again.
Sorry if I'm not too much help. I'm learning from what I read here and there.

Hey Mike, I am having the same issue with my phone I tried the adb reboot recovery command in adb but the phone just reboots. I wanna know how did you boot into clockworkmod recovery or the bootloader. Please help me out I am trying to fix my phone. thanks
clockwork is "adb reboot recovery"
bootloader is "adb reboot bootloader"
you can only do this stuff if the device is recognized. If it just reboots when you do reboot recovery, you probably don't have it flashed correctly or don't have the right bootloader

Download PD15IMG.ZIP here, copy and paste on the root of your SD card. Don't forget to rename the files to PD15IMG.zip before you copy them to the SD Card, otherwise it won't work
Turn off your phone.(you should have enough battery charge)
Press POWER and VOL DOWN simultaneously (this will bring your boot loader)
It will automatically install the PD15IMG.ZIP, need to confirm some actions.
Wait till the process is done....
If you did not encountered any error such as FAIL- PU, you can open your phone normally and start setting it up...
