hey guys, i've got an original mytouch 3g and am having some issues with any froyo roms i flash. i always do a full wipe and repartition my sd card before a flash. after a few hours of use, if i reboot my phone it always boot loops and i end up having to nand back. its an endless cycle and i cant figure out why the phone would run fine and then with normal use bootloop after a reboot. i've tried biff mod versions, cm 6 stable, and a few others but the exact same problem with all of them. any help would be greatly appreciated! im using a 2gb kingston sd card if that matters.

You dont need S-ON, you can try ArsADroid or if you tried it did it bootloop?
i've never heard of ArsADroid i googled it but didnt really get any good info. If my SD card was messed up somehow would that cause the rom to not boot up? i did format my SD card on my laptop (not the quick format) and that seemed to really help but now CM 6.1.0 just reboots every few hours but it always comes back on.
Go to the magic development section and you will find a lot of froyo roms and search the forum not google

i think i fixed it. i put my sd card in my laptop and formatted it (not a quick format) i've done this a couple of times with quick format but always had the same problem. the regular format seems to have worked. its been 2 days and my phone still boots up every time. im running biffmod v2.1 (leaving on a jet plain) its really stable, fast, and with the the blue revo theme, it looks awesome!!! thanks for helping me out guys i appreciate it.
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).

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.

Hi,
first I have to say sorry for writing in the general section, but i am new at this forum. so i can't post my problem into the ginger yoshi thread.
Here is my prob:
After rooting and flashing my htc magic 32b with the ginger yoshi 1.2.1 rom, I've installed the fix by using the same procedure like installing the rom. After installing the 1.2.1 fix my hole applications were gone. When i restore the backuped apps, i got the information that the apps are allready installed, but they weren't listed in the app overview. All in all the market wasn't visible just the ginger yoshi stock apps. So i installed the market app from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869964. If i opened the market i got an error message, that I should try to open the app a little later again.
I flashed my magic like this twice. And i also wiped it. But after installing the fix I always get this kind of problem.
So what did I wrong? Was it a wrong way to apply the fix for that rom?
Sorry for my english and thanks for answers.
wipe with the new osaka wipe zip and try 1.2 without the fix first. if your problems persist, wipe and flash the fix zip. god luck, mine is running fine.
I went through the process of rooting and doing the s-off thing to my wifes phone about a year ago. Then i got a new job and had to move and haven't had time to do anything else to her phone.
The phone won't accept OTA updates, i've tried using CWM to install a factory original Froyo but it won't go through with the update either. I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4g, that thing is a breeze to do anything too.
So i'm not sure where to go from here any help would be greatly appreciated.

i feel you are just flashing your roms wrong.
according to you hboot information you are just fine
go into recovery (seems you know how to just fine)
wipe everything (factory reset, wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache)
then flash this its a superwipe script then will insure a clean start
