How to flash RA's recovery image to MyHero?

Hello
I searched for this and couldn't find working instructions for recovering RA's recovery image (Or CM's) to MyHero v1.1.3.
I'm on an HTC branded 32A.
Thanks

boot in fastboot (power on and back)
Fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.1H.img (i type fastboot boot then drag and drop recovery file)
Make sure it boots up if it does then enter fastboot again
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RAv1.2.1H.img
Failing that use this

Thanks for your reply. It didnt work though
it says:
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

In RA's thread, i followed the instructions but on the second command it says:
rm: cannot remove /system/recovery.img : Nos such file or directory.
I think that the recovery image is somewhere else?
And in RA's thread it says that I must have an SPL that allows me to flash recovery images.
I have SPL 1.33.0009
If that doesnt allow me to flash recovery, what shall I do to update SPL?? Although I dont want to, i've seen a lot of ppl brick their phones for updating the SPL
Thanks

adb remount
adb push recovery.img /sdcard
adb shell
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

[Q] MT3G 1.2 -the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly at startup

Hi,
I have a tmobile mytouch 3g 1.2 (3.5mm jack phone). I tried to root my phone and it failed during the SYSTEM---UnZipping process. (it stuck there forever). I then looked at options of unrooting it. When I apply SAPPIMG.zip it says Main Version Older! Update Fail!
Then I reboot the phone in recovery mode (tried to reset to factory settings and then reboot). The phone gives me the below error upon startup. The only thing i can see is an notification bar.
the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. "FORCE CLOSE"
Please can someone help me how to get my phone working? Appreciate all your help!

If you go to tmobile.com then go to there forum under android development you will see a topic called how to unroot the mytouch. In that topic they have a link for the original sappimg .. download to your zip cars in the root of the card (no folders) then just boot into hboot and apply the sappimg. I have done it many times so I know it works. Then when you go to root your just us the universal androot method. Feel few to pm me i
ent from my HTC Magic using XDA App

Type this in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
Then we can try to see if we can update it.
If not, you can always try to flash RUU.
The system starts, that's a good thing -> you have adb access!
Just don't go around and flash all kind of sapphire.nbh/zip...
Wait intil you have the right info :0)

I have had this problem and solved it. I would either get this acore stopped working error or just a loop in the boot screen. I think what caused this is there is not enough internal room for the ROM and gapps. Make sure you wipe everything. Do you have a nandroid backup? Can you get into recovery? Which recovery do you have installed? Do this, make a goldcard. Use fastboot to reroot the phone because you may have halfway unrooted it and made root useless. Boot into recovery and wipe. Install from sd any MyTouch ROM without Gapps. This should get you into the OS and now you can use other methods of getting your phone back. When I got here I used nandroid backup to get my phone back to a date it was when it worked and have had no problems since.

I tried the command - fastboot getvar version-main
it just says < waiting for device > and then nothing happens...
also when i run the adb devices command, it does not display my devices. (But i have the number noted down when i tried to root the phone which failed...) can this number be used in any manner for anything

i did not take any nandroid backup ...i got into revovery boot...but whn i did the wipe clean option and reboot i get this error.
to make a gold card i would need to have the USB debugging enabled right? I am not able to go past the error screen (Home does not work, settings does not work )
and when i run the adb devices command, it does not display my devices. (But i have the number noted down when i tried to root the phone which failed...)
is there any other way to enable the USB Debugging as I am not able to open settings or even see anything on my phone...?
Would there be any option that's something like doing a System Restore to an earlier date on Windows OS on the computer?
please let me know the next steps...appreciate all of your help...

It's driver related.
Fix the drivers and try again to run the commands.

You mean re-install the USB drivers for mytouch 3g? i tried that but still nothing happens...

Well you have to...
In fastboot mode this command shall give you the device nr .
Code:
fastboot devices
If not, the drivers are still bad!
You could also try to do a HARD RESET from hboot ( volume - together with power)...

OK....
Let's get the facts right.
You tried to root with wrong guide.
The sapphire.zip/nbh image you used if for the 32A.
How do i know that ?
Well the main version nr tells me that you have flashed this:
2.53.707.2 SEA WWE test-signed (from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=659403)
That's why you have troubles!
The solution....
I need all your fastboot info.. ALL.
Then i can figure out what to do. Or else i will work in the dark...

Yes...
You have the right radio/spl combo. That's good.
The problem is that your main version is set to high.
If you try to flash any RUU for the 1.2 magic, you will get main-version older error...
Even if you use a goldcard.
Do you still have access to adb?
Even for a little... then we can flash a custom recovery and get the system back.
Even if your system don't start up... as long you can boot more then 20 sec and you don't get reboots.
If not, then we have to flash a 32A sappimg.zip using a goldcard.
From there we flash custom recovery. Then eng spl. Then flash system,boot, userdata. Then flash the 1.2 spl... Then we are done :0)
So it's a long one... but first test if we have adb access.
Code:
adb devices

MyTouch 3g 32b Can't access bootloader

So I have been trying all night to flash my buddy's MyTouch 3g to Cyanogenmod 6 and have run into several issues.
1. Created golddisk and updated the bootloader
2. Flashed radio (fastboot)
3. Flashed hboot (fastboot)
4. Flashed Clockwork recovery (fastboot)
I have been able to access Clockwork and install CM 6, and google apps. After all of this, the splash sreen hangs and never loads the ROM. For some reason, I decided to update the radio again to the radio img I downloaded from Cyanogen. After radio flash the hanging splash screen happens again. So I remove the battery and try to enter the bootloader (vol down+power) and it goes staight to the splash screen. Tried to enter recovery rom, same thing. The only thing that works is trackball+power to get the blue LED. HELP!!! I would prefer not to buy him another phone. (THIS WOULD BE THE THIRD PHONE I HAVE LOADED WITH CM6. NEXUS ONE, SPRINT HERO CDMA BEING THE OTHER TWO.)

Provide this info:
All fastboot info. ALL of it.
Run this command and post the output:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
When ALL info is provided we can help you!

How can I get that information without access to the bootloader where the Comand Prompt can access fastboot?

My mistake :0)

i have ran into the same problem
this happened to me because i basically tried downgrading the radio with the one of the cyanogen website
now my phone is bricked cannot access fastboot ,
have tried this method ?
i am about to try it see if it works
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656798

hmm..
i feel like the goldcard method is last years root method, although i know nothing of it, i just remember it having to many steps. theunlockr.com has the way i rooted and its never done me wrong as far trouble shooting.

Root HTC Magic
A lot of people have been looking for a way to root their HTC Magic which has been updated by the Sense UI RUU provided by HTC (RUU 3.05.***) The roms that can be rooted are listed below.
1) 3.05.861.2 1.76.0008H 6.35.08.29 N (Australia)
2) 3.05.631.7 1.76.0010H 6.35.10.18 N (Canada)
3) 3.05.401.3 1.76.0009H 6.35.08.29 N (Europe)
4) 3.05.720.3 1.76.0009H 6.35.08.29 N (India)
To root the Magic follow the steps listed below:
1. Download the test signed rom from the following link
http://www.multiupload.com/XQEH9NVGY7
2. If your HTC Magic is from Australia, Canada or India, you need to create a gold card to install this RUU Update. In order to do this, follow the step on the website linked below:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how...te-a-goldcard/
3. After successfully creating the gold card, update your phone via the downloaded RUU with the gold card inserted in your phone.
4. When your phone has been updated, go to the link below and download the latest HERO recovery. (Save it to tools in Android SDK folder downloaded while creating the gold card)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
5. Now in your phone go to settings>development and check USB debugging.
6. 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)
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.
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.
11. Congrats, your HTC Magic is now ROOTED!!
Try this to root your magic (Aj probaj to da mu odradis root)

I can't update ruu
when start ruu, all is ok. next, next. and when phone try to go in bootloader i've got just black screen and ruu can not see my magic anymore..

You just have to combine the recovery flash with the "reboot recovery" command and you should be good to go.
You could also make a dump of what you see in the command shell when you execute the commands, so we can follow the progress all the way, and maybe identify what's going wrong!
If all goes wrong, we can still fix it.
Execute this from fastboot mode and post back the results
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
fastboot getvar cid

how to flash new spl ra recovery and radio via fast boot

I know this might be a noob question but I'm trying to
Get the new radio and 14 MB hack so I'm really trying to do
this but when I go to bootloader and hit fastboot USB nothing
happens my radio right know is 2.22.23.03... I updated to the lattest radio before thru recovery but no rom would load up so I think I need to flash the right spl ra recovery and radio all
Together for this to work. Holla

OK so held the camera and the power together and this is what's on my
phone dream pvt 32b s off 1.33.2005
2.22.23.03 know how do I flash thru fast boot the spl 1.33d 15mb
Radio

Code:
fastboot flash radio radio-2.22.28.25.img (or radio-2.22.27.08.img)
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.0013d.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase system -w
should be sufficient to get the "ram-hack"-combo.
The img files must be located in the directory from where you are calling the fastboot command.

Clockwork recovery wont let me flash these files only the radio

How does Clockword relate to fastboot???
You need to boot your phone into fastboot mode (back + power on), you connect your phone with your PC and then you enter the commands I wrote in my last post on a shell on your PC and after that everything is fine.
Edit: if you need intstructions to use / set up fastboot you might have a look here

OK thanks I knew it was something else too this hack
