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

Alright guys, i rooted a bit back and then ddid the recovery image just fine. I even loaded fresh and ran it for several months. Now i loaded the new radio that fresh put out ( i had the non google phone with the old radio ) since i loaded the new radio i had to re-root. The root went ok. I can teather and all and i pushed the recovery image ok ( it said xxxx bytes in xxxx seconds ) but when i re-boot into recovery i get the skateboard androids... any idea on whats up?
Bummpppo.......
You didn't say that you flashed the recovery image. You need to flash it, not just push it...
adb shell
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/RA-blah-blah.img
reboot recovery

Flipz has a point.
You also can flash using flashrec.
I was able to root and flash a custom rom all from my phone using this method.
**** sry i did push to sd card and flashed it. It said completed and all and when i do reboot recovery it sends me to the skateboards.
Will look into flashrec.
So as many of you are now finding out is that clockwork is borked and so is root with the new update. The root method on cyanogenmod wont work. The rootboot.img breaks wifi and you still cannot get into clockwork recovery ... well at least I can't. Anyone else seeing this and possibly have a solution?

ya the OTA breaks root and CWM,,,thats why in roms the ability to OTA is removed
Reflash koush's clockwork recovery via fastboot.
After the successful flash, you can get into CWM recovery by selecting Recovery while still in fastboot.
Once in CWM, go to mount options menu and mount /system.
Then use adb shell to navigate to /system/bin.
Once in /system/bin type chmod 6775 su
Root functionality should now be restored when you're in normal boot mode.
Getting permanent CWM recovery back is proving more problematic for me. Once you reboot the phone after that first install, selecting Recovery gives you the Android and "!" screen. Battery pull required.
You can however, get back into CWM recovery by either fastboot flashing the image again as above, or from the ROM Manager app where you flash the recovery and then select boot into recovery.
Pain in the butt, but not totally lost.
Just a minor issue that comes from running custom recoveries and roms. Koush already is working on a flashable update that will work with CWR. Just gotta be patient. Chances are that if you have been keeping up with the tweaks and new apk's in the dev forum, this update won't really mean that much anyway. I am a sucker for wanting the latest version number in my "about phone" though

I want to flash CM7, but everytime I try flashing Clockwork recovery 3, it ends up staying at 2.5.1.2. What am I doing wrong? I tried flashing it from ROM Manager and that didn't help, and I don't know if I can flash it with the fastboot method since I'm using CWR already. What can I do?
Additional notes: Right now, I'm running CM6 RC2. And my phone looks sexy.
Like you I also came across that issue but trying to install kernel in Ice Glacier. Now what you want to do is install it manually via console. Check my other thread all you need is the flash image and clockworkmod recovery. I myself flashed ClockworkMod 3.0.0.0 as other howoto failed and True's didn't stick.

Go here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916930
And hit on the link to download the cwm 3.xxxx
Once the file is downloaded use root explorer, navigate to /sdcard/downloads/ and find the recovery. Make sure that it shows as .img and not as .zip. if it is a zip then unzip to get the .img file
Select the recovery and change the name to some easier name like f.e cwmrec3 (nnow u will have a cwmrec3.img file).
Move it to /sdcard (root) for ease of method
Open terminal emulator and do
Su (enter) (# will change for $)
flash_image recovery /sdcard cwmrec3.img
Wait for it to go to the next line.
Reboot to recovery and ur text will now be orange. You now haz recovery 3.xxxx
Also, note that if u enter rom manager it will still say that you have cwm 2.xxx that does not matter though as long as ur recovery txt is orange and not green

the fastboot method will work if you have CWM 3.5.1.3 already. I did that this morning, and it worked like a charm.
so I was able to do the easy cw method installing the zip from recovery then choosing 2.5.1.4, but after a few runs with the latest builds of CM7 i was having major issues with my mobile data connection jumping from H to 3G, each time lagging out my connection and making streaming videos, etc impossible to play. So I reflashed to stock, and my H returned to normal. So i thought I'd give it another shot, rooted, downloaded ROM Manager, flashed to 2.5.1.2 smooth, then tried the above method. When I tried to load the 2.5.1.4 in ROM manager, it said "An error occurred while flashing your recovery." So I tried the terminal, and no matter how I rename the file, and I know I followed the instructions flawlessly, it says flash_image: not found. So while ROM Manager seems completely capable of flashing to the 2.5.1.2 version, nothing seems to work to get me past it. What could I be missing?

Thats because you flashed back to stock and stock roms do not have "flash_image" on /system/bin
Download this
http://db.tt/Rv63e76
Use root explorer and paste it to /system/bin
Try terminal again

Ok I have no idea what happened but I can not get into recovery mode. Rom manager takes me straight to bootloader and selecting recovery in bootloader takes me back to bootloader...! I've tried reflashing recovery via clockwork but no go, and flashing old 2.X.X versions gives me an error...
Help?
ROM Manager seems to be the least reliable way to flash the recovery. Try flashing it through terminal emulator or better yet, if you have the engineering SPL, do it through fastboot.
If you don't know how though you could try a reinstall of rom manager and if your running a custom rom boot straight into recovery from there to see what happens

The thing is that is how I have always done it and how I did it with this phone originally but something got messed up somehow. Anyhow how do I flash that with Terminal? I have never done that before. Do you have a link to a totorial and a download for clock work that can be flashed that way?

Then open terminal emulator and enter these commands:

Hello all,
I'm a newbie on this Android matters, I've been using Android Donut just for a week
I want to upgrade from 1.6 to the latest gingerbread. I've been reading all about rooting, flashing, backups etc...
So far I rooted my device sucessfully using Androot. Installed Rom Manager and hit the Flash ClockworkMode Recovery, now it says Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 3.0.2.7.
For my next step I want to do a full backup of my current stock rom before proceding with the installation of the new rom. The problem is, I can't get into the Clockwork recovery menu on startup, even if I choose startup on recovery on Rom Manager it takes me to the stock recovery and there is no backup option.
Can you help me?

On power up press the Home + Power key all in one go..............
I tried that and the screen stops at an image of a triangle with a phone next to it. Then I push again home + power and the screen of Android recovery appears, but with only 4 options, reboot, factory reset, delete cache and install zip from sd card.
When I go to Rom manager, Clockwork is installed.
I'm now reading about two files that may stick stock recovery, /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and /system/recovery-from-boot.p, I think it is supposed to erase or rename, but using Root Explorer I can't see any of that two files.
I really want to use clockwork, backup stock rom and move on to the latest CM7.
Give me some advice
Thanks
AFAIK, rom manager flashes temporary clockwork mode recovery when you select this option from its menu. But isn't really flashed permanetly. Download latest clockworkmod recovery(I think there is a link on kalim's cyanogenmod rom thread) and flash it via adb with flash_image command.
Thanks, I will give it a try. I was trying to get it done without using adb or terminal modes, but if it's the only way, I'll try.
What about the tattoohack file, I've been reading about it and it must be "installed" or I may brick the phone.
Any update I'll post.
If you have errors, with command line is better to understand in which step the error occurs and find a solution.
As for the tattohack file I think that needed a specific kernel version to work properly. And there are 2 versions of that file. And if you have another kernel from these two, probably you will have problems. For this I suggested to first flash the international stock rom.
No success. I've unrooted the phone and did the cyanogen wiki tutorial with m7 exploit, su and flash_image.
I can't do the chown root.root su, it says chown not found or something like that. It also happens before to get stuck into a loop with rebootcommand appearing on shell when I do the exit after the root. Then I can't make the root stick. I do ctrl+c to kill the shell. I tried doing the rest of the proccess but on chown the command don't apply.
I need clockworkmod recovery in order to flash the latest CM7 right?
Maybe I can try to use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950759, it's an automated operation.
I didn't make a goldcard, but on this tut it says that it's a nice to have. I'll try to do it with this method.
cant get into clockwork recovery
i have the same issue i have clockwork flashed from rom manager and is says it is installed the latest 5.0.2.0 and i even flashed it via ADB flash recovery but after i flash recovery from ADB and from bootloader i go to recovery i can go in the clockwork recovery but once i reboot the phone turn it off and try to reboot in recovery with power+trackball on my nexus one i get the triangle with the exclamation ! and then the stock recovery options
can anyone post a solution to this please....

I know about your problem cuz i had it also and i couldnt install using a pc cuz the usb port was cinda crushed.
The problem is that u used Universal Androot 1.6.2 Beta 5 to root, am i correct??
If that the case then you just need to root via Universal Androot 1.6.1. That solved my problem. Then you just need to continue like you started with Rom manager.
I figured out that the root made by Universal Androot 1.6.2 Beta 5 was causing the fakeflash.
