hello all, i recently installed clockwork3.0 to try out the cm7 rom and did so. afer that i wanted to go back to cm6 but decided to try out a custom baked modaco in between. I went no problems to the modaco vision rom and then tried to go back to the cm6 and thats where i ran into the problem. It seems as if though all i can flash and boot now is the modaco vision and desire roms. i try enomther and cm and after the flash and reboot im always stuck at the HTC boot screen which i know shouldnt be there and cant format boot in cwork3.0 without failure error. Even a nandroid back to cm6 wont work. Im assuming this has something to do with the modaco rom writing some apps to /system during install. If anyone can point out my error or explain why this could happen it would be greatly appreciated. Thanke, veritasaequita
You need to flash back to the old ClockworkMod Recovery using fastboot? You have done that haven't you? CWM Recovery 3 is only for 2.3 roms atm afaik.
Cool, thanks for the input bro. Yes I sure have. I did see in the dev forum a thread titled install cw3.0 easily from phone. Is it possible to go back to the old cw by way of using the phone also? Once again thanks for your help

oh yeah, indeed you have hit upon something. Try installing ROM manager via the Market,... then use that to re-install the old recovery.
But if that fails,... then yes, you SHOULD be able to use a Terminal Emulator to flash without using fastboot commands.
Ok so I am having some serious issues with my phone. I have rooted it before the 2.2 update was out for the incredible and I have messed around with it since. I have used unrEVOked's s-off patch and because of it now my phone will not do a couple of things. The system update keeps bothering me to update but when i tell it to do so it fails to restart. Also the My Verizon app doesn't work at all, it fails to recognize my phone (surprise surprise). My phone currently works fine as a phone and data device but those things really bother me and I want to get it back to a factory image. When I go to switch the S-ON with Clockwork Recovery, as I select the update.zip file that switches the S-ON the screen goes black and resets to the menu. I have no idea what to do from here. Does anyone have any ideas?
You need to use the unrevoked s-on tool if you want to go back.
See the faq section at this link.
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
Also, if you've flashed a custom rom you'll need to install an ruu to get back to stock.
Do a lot of reading first and proceed at your own risk!

I am just going to restate that in using the S-ON tool clockworkmod recovery resets and goes back to the main menu. That was the other problem that I could not even use RUU's to reset my phone. It won't even recognize it attached
Sorry. Sounds like you have issues beyond my ability.

I gave that a shot, but unfortunately after following each step i came to the same problem that it will not apply the S-ON.zip file in clockworkmod recovery. DAH! I think i messed it up pretty bad.

Just curious. What radio are you on? I remember reading somewhere that S-Off and on don't support the 9-1 + radios. And what clockworkmod version are you on?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I am using 2.15.00.07.28. Following the guide linked in a previous post on this thread, I changed it to this to make S-ON work but to no avail. I assume i have the latest clockworkmod because i just barely reflashed it with unrevoked. It is vers. 2.5.1.2
Have you tried the official one posted here?
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
It looks like they have updated it for the new radios. And the one on the guide might be an older version.

You will need to go back to a stock recovery in order to get the VZW OTA to work
the lack of that recovery will make the phone update fail to reboot.

Yeah I gave that a shot when I was trying the guide posted previously. It reset my recovery to stock but when it tried doing the OTA it still failed to reboot. I'll try using the latest S-ON tool. Worked!! Wow! I have never got this far. Now lets see if it solves the problem...
Out of curiosity why even bother going back to stock? You could have most likely fixed all of your issues just by flashing a newer rom.
Hey MT4G guru's i need your assistance.
1st off im an Evo user..rooted and all so im not to shabby at doing this. 2nd I rooted her phone using visionary.
So on to the problem. I tried to flash her a theme. I nandrioded (backup) first as usual. The theme which ended up being a full ROM--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929101
It flashed successfully but when i rebooted it gets stuck at the white MT4G screen and stays there forever.
**I can still get into the bootloader & recovery.**
Tried to restore...NO LUCK. It restores, I reboot then the Same white screen.
Tried to factory reset, dalvik & cache wipe..... NO LUCK
Tried Update.zip Nothing!!!
Even tried pd15img in the bootloader. NOTHING!! It doesnt even recognize it!!
Guys i even looked into odin which i found out it isnt needed on phones with recovery.
Hate to sound like a noob but Help!!!!
...A fixed phone will result in 30,000 "thanks" button presses.....cause shes pissed to say the least....
Edit: Ok i believe i found the problem. I had clockwork 2.5.1.2 instead of 3 on her phone. Ok so now that i found the problem how do i fix it??
go to this link http://goo.gl/K0xTy and follow the instructions. you are flashing a cm7 rom and for this phone requires a different recovery. Then flash your rom
Flash cm6 first it will boot with 2.5
twiztid
If you made a nandroid backup, which you always should do before flashing a new rom, you can restore it using clockwork 2.5.1.2. If you don't have a backup you can do two things. You can use fastboot to flash clockwork recovery v3.0.0.5 to the phone then reboot into recovery and successfully flash CM7. If you don't know how to use fastboot then you can use the existing recovery to flash a froyo based rom on the phone. Either iced glacier or CM6 will flash ok. Perform a full wipe before you flash. Once you have a froyo rom working you can follow TrueBlue_Drew's thread about getting clockwork 3 on the phone without issue. I'm on my phone so I can't provide the link but it is in the mt4g development section. It is in a sticky called Resource Bible. In the OP, scroll until you see the header Recoveries and choose the link called Easiest way to install clockwork 3.0.0.5 by TrueBlue_Drew. Follow his instructions and you'll be able to switch between clockwork versions with no hassle. Of course, once you have clockwork 3 working you can flash CM7.
EDIT: Drew replied before I finished writing so follow his link once you are able to boot successfully.

calm down take a breather us XDA users got your back, OK take out the battery and put it back in then go to the Hboot ( hold power and volume down) then once you get to the Hboot Settings use volume down to get to RECOVERY (i think its the third one) then once you get into Clockwork Recovery scroll down to (Backup and Restore) click then press (Restore) and then choose your Restore file it usually Year-month-day hope i helped you donate pls if i did
BE SURE TO KEEP THE CHARGER IN!!
p.s. if it turns off while its restoring even with the charger in let it boot into recovery mode and let it charge up a bit
incase you still need help gtalk me [email protected]
and p.s. CWM 3.0.0.5 is for gingerbread only
Certain roms require certain versions of clockworkmod. I don't know if this also applies to restoring from backups, though. Which type of rom did you flash?
If he flashed the add on 3.0.0.5 has ext3/ext4 support. Should be able to flash froyo and TB Rome.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
3.0.0.6 supports ext3/ex4 3.0.0.5 only does Gingerbread
Edit: I'm being a dumbass yea what he said was right I'm overly tired and I have to explain to her why I was being a dumbass and trying to flash through fastboot but what I don't understand is why its still stuck at the boot screen

Three options
Option one: (easiest)
Since you flashed 3.0.0.5 you must flash a Gingerbread ROM, (Which you can download from here ). Make sure to flash the G/apps after you flash the ROM.
Option two:
you can flash a 2.x.x.x Recovery image, or flash 3.0.0.6 via script or manually do it via the HBoot.
Option three:
Flash the PD15IMG and start over from ground one.
thank you so much for the advice and help. i could bang my head on the wall for trying to load gorillasens. i shouldve left it alone. once i get home from work i will give it a try again.

Ah. i think i see what happened. You rooted your phone. downloaded Clockwork Rom Manager, then flashed a recovery image (which was version 3.x). then tried to flash a 2.2 ROM.
Okay. so what.....
a common mistake but one that can be avoided by doing a little research.
Clockwork's 3.0.0.5 recovery image is only compatible with Gingerbread (2.3) based ROMs.
Clockwork's 2.x recovery image are only compatible with FroYo (2.2) based ROMs.
gorilla is 2.2 So it's not cannot be flashed by the recovery image you are using.
if that is correct then the text in the recovery image should be orange in color. If that is correct.....If i were in your shoes i'd load CM7 w/ the GAPPS > download CWRM from the markert > scroll to the bottom (all clockwork recoveries) and flash the newest 2.x. then boot into recovery / make sure the text is GREEN, not ORANGE, wipe then flash your GorillaSense.
Can you cite a source, because I've also heard people claim that Clockwork 3 is backwards compatible, but there was no evidence either way...?
How would you go about switching from a 2.2 ROM to a 2.3 ROM? Do you have to backup with CWM 2, then install CWM 3 to install the new ROM? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me...?

3.0.0.5 is not backwards compatible, which is the official 3.x that you download via the Application. 3.0.0.6 which is "beta" flashed via the HBoot is backwards compatible.
It's seriously jacked if you ask me.
to go from lets say CM6 > CM7 one would do a nandroid backup of CM6, then go to CWRM flash the 3.0.0.5 recovery image > boot into recovery and flash the CM7.
now to get back to a 2.2 ROM you have to scroll to the bottom of CWRM app's and flash a 2.x version of the recovery then do your nandroid restore, flash the 2.2 recovery image.
From what i've heard once 3.0.0.6 is finished you can use that for everything.
What a pain...
I'm real sketchy about the Clockwork 3 recoveries for the Nexus, because they've been screwing up partitions (mine included). Has there been any problems with Clockwork 3 on the Glacier?

I haven't had any problems with mine. The only problem that was noted was the 3.0.0.5 prior to the official release wouldn't do Nandroid Backups directly from the application. Some were reporting it work work from the recovery image, but mine never did.
and i have a feeling the reason it's screwing with Partitions is this (CM7/CW3.x) is a Ext4 set up. And CM6/CW2.x is a Ext3 set up.
but since it went official the only problem i've seen is people flashing the the wrong recovery for the wrong ROM. People are flashing 3.x because 3 is higher than 2 so they think it's an upgrade and have no clue on the who/what/when/wheres and whys of what its for.
The partition thing is different for the Nexus, because they are cross compatible to a certain degree. I rolled back to CWM 2, but I can still flash CM7 no probs...
It's interesting to note the differences between the two platforms though (Nexus vs Glacier).

Yea between Google's way of doing thing and HTC, but i'm sure the chip-set has something to do with that. and with the sexy nexi only having 512Mb of memory the factor of tricking the phone to use the SD card has something to do with it i'm sure.
i have the 3.x recovery and i can flash iceglacier which is a 2.2 rom with out any issues. what i can't do is restore my backup from my other phone onto this replacement i just got. i made the backup with the 3.x recovery but i just keep getting stuck at the mytouch bootup screen... gonna try flashing the 2.x recovery and see if it lets me do the restore.
hey there everyone. just giving an update.......phone is still messed up. we tried putting gingerbread on and no go....tried flashing to PD15IMG and starting over. no go, it kept saying that "main version older <bad>" the phone wont go past the htc screen. im going on day 3 and no phone. *sigh* open for more advice. should i just buy another phone?

hi folks,
I got a htc magic a while ago, it had the original 1.6 Android.
I wanted to try a custom rom, so I found the website theUnlockr and followed some instructions there.
I managed to do the gold card method and get a hero rom on my phone.
Ok.
I didn't know that hero was actually based on 1.5 -> fail.
So I had some time yesterday and tried to first go back to 1.6, without all that htc sense crap.
I found this website. Awesome!
Doing this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking
it all went well until I had to load the custom recovery rom, which didn't work.
But at that moment I realized that I still had the custom rom on the phone from my previous activities.
Next thing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=576768
I jsut got myself the update.zip from the htc website linked there and applied it.
It worked like a charm. I have the old 1.6 which runs smoothly.
However, it wasn't as good as before anymore (some apps don't work on 1.6 anymore, like google goggles and kindle app) -> fail again.
So I wanted to get a newer version of android running.
Back to the wiki tutorial!
This time, I realized that I had a standard recovery back as well.
"Android system recovery"
reading at the bottom of the screen:
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command"
Is this bad? I have no clue.
It also gives me the option to aply an update.zip, do I need the custom recovery at all?
I made a backup with Nandroid recovery, which I couldn't use then.
I cannot put a custom recovery on the phone. (fastboot boot recovery.img)
When I try to, adb tells me:
"cannot load recovery.img"
fail.
Where recovery.img is the renamed recovery file from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
I used:
recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img
because I have a 32B phone.
What the heck is going on? Why does it refuse to load the recovery?
I didn't find any thread regarding this problem. =(
fyi fastboot:
Sapphire Pvt 32B Eng S-Off H
HBoot 1.33.2005 (Sapp10000)
CPLD 10
Radio 2.22.19.261
the fastboot information states "H" so I'm not sure if I chose the correct recovery img.
tl;dr
What causes the problem that "fastboot boot recovery.img" fails to load the recovery file?
Do I need a custom recovery?
With the above device specifications, am I correctly choosing "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img"?
Did I fail at anything else?
Thanks guys.

If both of you are on stock, I. recommend rooting using Universal Androot, then installing Rom Manager to flash a custom recovery.
EDIT: To get Androot, Google it on your phone, and then download and install it. Rom Manager is available in the market.
Keep me posted!
Sent from my Sapphire/dream using XDA App
thanks, I got the Rom manager, which tells me that I do not have root.
That's confusing. How did I lose root? I thought I had root through the gold card method.
Edit:
I went for androot and it worked like a charm.
When I start rom manager it doesn't complain about the missing root.
So that's done.
However, when I try to load a custom recovery with rom manager, it tells me that an error occured.
Roughly translated:
"while performing a privileged command an error occured"
It's also strange that it sometimes asks me for my device type (either "magic" or "ION") and sometimes just does nothing.
I'm still stuck with the inability to get the recovery image on the phone =(
Edit²: I tried the "fix permissions" thing but it fails with the same error
At this point you should probably try to flash the alternate recovery at the bottom of Rom Manager(AmonRa).
Sent from my Sapphire/dream using XDA App
thanks a lot!
the problem was that I did not install the superuser.
This way, the rom manager failed.
So I got CM 6.1 which works great.
However, there are no Google apps. (all I need is the market really)
So I went for the CM wiki: (cannot post links so I inserted a space)
wiki. cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps
I have a magic, so I took the "tiny" version for "CyanogenMod 6".
Now I have all the google apps, but NO market!?
When I visit the market website (via pc) my phone does not show up.
How do I get the market back?
Do you still have Rom Manager? If you do, you can flash CM with GAPPS through it.

I have it still installed, but it crashes when I try to view the available roms.
It asks me to update it before it dies. (I don't knwo how to do that without the market)
And again: I did install the google apps for CM (see link) so I'm confused as to why there was no market included.
Itried downloading the market as a separate apk file but it crashed on whatever I did with it after opening it.
Can you reflash the CM rom(without using Rom Manager)? If you can, then we can download RM again, update it, then reflash CM again, with GAPPS. I know this is tedious, but it has the highest chance of working.
Sent from my Sapphire/dream using XDA App
Thought of another way to get the market. Do you have a file manager on your phone as of right now? If you do, then I can attach the vending.apk(market) from my phone. If you don't, I can probably find an apk for a free file manager as well.
EDIT: It probably crashed because it installed in the wrong place. Look here: http://www.google.com/m/url?client=ms-android-hms-tmobile-us&ei=9gcaTojwO-KkiAKKmZ6EAw&gl=us&hl=en&q=http://www.pocketmagic.net/?p%3D1447&source=android-browser-type&ved=0CD4QFjAH&usg=AFQjCNENw-_9QWgtW_j3UgDiv14Fa-PCyA

reflashing the Rom seems to be the way to go.
I was curious how some apps for this newer android version would perform, so I installed the flashplayer apk.
Surprisingly, after rebooting, the system was ****ed up and stayed in a loop in the CM boot animation.
So I have to redo the system anyway.
The Rom manager is not too great for me, because I have no wifi here.
CM was kinda cool. I think to bypass the whole gapps problem, I could simply get the standard android 2.2 froyo Rom?
But there are only custom ROMs as it seems. what do you recommend?
Edit: crap. when I flash the CM Rom again, the boot keeps looping =(
You could try out GingerYoshi. Its gingerbread, so it shouldn't have compatibility issues with flash player. Just make sure you have the right radio.

I don't want flash.
I know it won't run fast on a magic. I mean 512Mhz, I don't expect anything else.
I just wanted to know how bad it actually would be.
Games are generally nothing I want on my phone. (which is one reason why I got myself this old phone)
So, that aside, how do I get rid of the boot loop?
Will this be fixed when I flash a different ROM?
Actually, GingerYoshi is extremely fast, as you can overclock, turn on JIT, and modify compcache settings right from the options. I think the bootloop should fix itself if you flash back to stock.

Sorry for the delay, I didn't have time...
I tried to flash the old original Google ION 1.6 that I had before.
(putting the zip on the SD, booting recovery (clockwork), installing the zip from there)
This doesn't work. An assertion fails:
The assertions checks if either "ro.product.device" or "ro.build.product" are equal to "saphire".
This happens even if I disable the assertions. =(
I think the phone got set to be "ION" after I installed this Rom the first time.
How do I fix this?
UPADATE:
I got back to ra recovery.
I could flash the rom for 1.6
However, there's still the bootloop.
How do I get rid of the loop?
Ok, at this point, I think we should go back to stock and then reroot. Under the mytouch development board, there should be a thread for the officials RUUs. Go there and flash the correct rom to get back to stock.

Oh sorry. I didn't mention it: this 1.6 is an official rom.
It is the standard google android without any custom things.
That's why I was a little scared when even that got stuck in the boot loop.
However, I booted to recovery again and from there, rebooted the system.
And it worked! (for whatever reason)
The system was not working perfectly.
There's this bar where you can quickly turn wifi, bluetooth, etc. on and off and this didn't work.
I rebooted again now and the flaws are gone.
I'm back on 1.6 running smoothly now.
I had a look at the thread with the official stuff.
I have the 1.6 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=576768
I found via a link from the wiki page for the magic (as I said earlier).
It is something "official".
I'm a little confused now as to what is the real "official" Rom.
That is the rom for the Google ion(dev phone) ported to the 32b. A RUU is the true "official" rom as it is carrier specific.
