Hi All,
This forum is a great resource of knowledge and I have spent many an hour reading through the rooting process on the magic, however I just wanted to confirm my understanding before starting - please correct me if I am wrong.
Firstly I watched this video: http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how-to-root-the-htc-magic-in-one-click/
Showing me the process, and using FlashRec program is exploits a bluetooth bug and changes the recovery menu to amons.
At this stage we could reboot the phone and my stock android build will boot, and then re-replace the recovery menu back to default (as it does this every boot).
So we could re-exec the FlashRec to copy on amons recovery menu but this time load a custom rom like cyanogens. This then patches the exploit to stop other programs using it against us.
If we wanted to then go back to stock we could reboot the recovery menu (amons) and use nandroid recover to load up our backed stock rom, which at boot will then reset the recovery back to stock also.
Does this sound correct to everyone? My only question and confusion comes with the SPL. Is this touched at all in the rooting/loading custom rom process (when using the one-click rooting technique)? I have read restoring the SPL back to stock isnt that simple, but this might not even apply to me.
Thanks in advance, oh clever ones
Hey guys, I usually try to avoid asking for help because I can usually find several topics to guide me on how to do thigns, but today I find myself completely stuck. So here's my story:
A couple of days ago I was running cyanogen's 4.2.4 rom. I had ended up with some bugs like not syncing with gmail and it was giving me 3-4 hours of battery life while idle and everything turned off. The previous rom had none of these problems. Anyway, I heard about Dwang's and decided to try out v1.11 of his rom and loved it. However last night when I tried to flash to version 1.13 it froze on my rogers screen. My last nandroid backup was the one made on the cyanogen rom. I spent all day fiddling around trying to do everything to get anything stable to run and now tonight I ended up overwriting the nandroid backup and now it can't boot anything up other than the fastboot and 1.4 loader. I've tried wipes loading older roms, newer one (both dwang and cyanogen)
I don't wanna touch anything else for tonight in fear of bricking my phone but I'm hoping someone can help. It's not bricked, but I feel at this rate and how frustrated I am I have a feeling that might happen and I want to avoid it.
I know there are some other topics that may be similar because I've done a search but I'm not exactly 100% that the solution given to them might be used for my problem as well.

Ok well, I seemed to have made things a bit worse somehow. Now when I hold camera+ home it brings up a triangle with an exclamation mark and a phone logo. BUT I'm still able to fastboot.
Did you boot on the ADP 1.6 ROM?
Yes I did as it was one of the steps on cyanogens wiki. I even tried to flash it without flashing cyanogen's rom and what it does is just show the android screen, then when it finishes loading it goes black for a split second and then goes back to the android screen. I managed to load older nandroid backups of cyanogen again but whenever I try to flash the 1.6 and then either dwangs or cyanogens it doesn't work. I also cannot do fix_permission at the recovery screen. it tells me something about e2fsck.
Here some of the things I've tried today on the phone without any success:
Another thread had a similar problem and one of the tips was to fastboot and do
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RAv1.3.2G.img
so I tried that and now I am equipped with the ra recovery and when I try to flash the rom it still doesn't work. I also let it hang for about 20 minutes before trying something else.
I've also flashed it to 1.6 htc stock and it works but it doesn't let me have the proper recovery screen and whne I try to update with a renamed rom file it says installation aborted.
So now I feel stuck :-(
[Solved]
Hi there.
I got hold of this second hand phone.
I dont think its been modified in any way yet.
Last night the phone asked me about doing a update. So i did.
After the green progress bar completed i got to a white screen containing a green htc logo. And its stuck there in a loop.
So... I cant turn my device on... whyyyy? :'(
All i can do is to get into the standard htc recovery.
And into the hboot. Some place there it says:

I have done a wipe and a hard reset. Still it get this white screen on death. (WSOD) Im sodding of to bed...
You now know that it doesnt have a nandroid backup, and that I cant connect the phone via a usb connection to pc. And I dont have any custom recovery installed.
Ive tried to recover from a offical rom with a update.zip copied with a card reader onto the sd. Ive tried a few. The recovery see's the file. But when i try to install it it says "Verification failed Installation aborted"
Ive tried the recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img, but without a usb I cant figure out how. Is there a way around for installing RA with just a sd card?
Please, does anyone have a good solution here.
Or some helpfull info to point me in the right way.
Sincererly,
Thor

Good morning
Thanks, ive been looking at that.
My Win7 pc wouldnt show the ADB Interface in manage devices.
Only thing that pops up is a disk drive called HTC Android Phone USB Device, USB Mass Storage Device and a USB Composite Device.
Im gonna try this on my windows xp machine later today.
Hope it finds my phone, if not... what can i do?
So you need to update drivers as per the link in those threads,... Have you done that already pal?
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
Hi again
Yes, I followed every step on that RUU driver guide on my win 7. But the drivers doesnt pop up as they should.
So I cant install the correct drivers since it doesnt show.
Halfway solution!
I got a breakthrough.
1. Remove the battery and replace it.
2. Hold volume down/up and tap power button. (htc enters hboot)
3. Taps back (enters fastboot)
4. Connects USB Cable (fastboot changes to fastboot usb)
5. Computer finds device My HTC.
Then i run this:
_HTC Hero_RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
I got this from the htc pages. The software says i have ROM version 3.32.405.1
So i have a newer one installed then the one they have on web!?
I choose update on the software, now it tries to install 2.73.405.5
I got a half working usb connection now.
Fastboot restarted and changed to RUU USB.
Then i get a Error: 140 / 131 Bootloader version fail.
Can it be that the hard reset ive done messed up the bootloader version.
For me it looks like the phone is still in a new version ROM.
Anyone vise got anything to say about this?
Kind regards,
Thor
Aha,.... Ok, thats probs because the RUU you're using is older than the ROM already installed.
Try this one... RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_3.32.405.1_R_Radio_63.18.55.06P_6 .35.15.11_release_signed.exe
That is the unbranded ROM,...
Wow
Suddenly everything klicked back into place!
Im past the white screen of death!
That RUU link was flawless for my device.
And the fastboot RUU USB installed everything.
Im back in business.
Much appericated m8
No problem. Now do us a favour and put [SOLVED] into your thread title. Thanks.
So...
Any suggestions on what i should do with it now?
Gotta root it i guess.
Then install recovery RA.
Any suggestions for a good rom to try?
Thanks again,
Thor
theres loads, but my suggestion would be villainrom 12 for a 2.1 sense rom, or froydvillain for a 2.2 rom
Ok
How do i know if i have a 2.1 sense rom or a 2.2 rom?
Or was that a dumb question from me, since you meant to install those?
Im kind of new, just left ye olde nokia behind
lol... Ok,... So you used the 3.32 RUU yeah? That is stock 2.1. If you used the other one, that is 1.5. Use BTDAGs guide in my sig to find out how to flash custom ROMs.
I also recommend Villain 12 for 2.1,... Or Froyd for 2.2. Depends if you like the SenseUI or not. Take a look at both in the Dev section.
Ok
Yes, I definitly want to have the Sense UI.
So then i wanna try out installing a villainrom 12 on a 2.1 sense rom.
Settings - Software Information now says:
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11
Kernel version: 2.6.29-063c4d24 [email protected] #1
Build number: 3.32.405.1 CL191507 release-keys
Software number: 3.32.405.1
This is what i have on it now.
I tried doing the phone software update again, when it asked me again.
Got the same error. So I did the usb install over again. All ok again.
Note: The update it tries out is 3.32.405.2 (5.87MB)
So... can i follow BTDAG's guide from here?
Or do i have to downgrade or update something first?
Guess i have to choose Superuser for Android 2.0~2.2 when i do the rooting with androot.
I got a problem in that guide when typing su in the terminal window.
I didnt get the "Super User Request Prompt" as it told about.
Ive now tried terminal from both usb and the terminal emulator.
WHen i try to do the SU or the flash_image recovery command i get permission denied!?
Without su rights i can do the flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img command, since i need the su permissions.
Thanks again,
Thor
Hi again
I cant seem to get the SU rights i need.
Ive used universal nandroid for the rooting! (it tells its now ok)
But i cant flash in the custom recovery image.
Ive now tried a different approach:
1. Installing the ROM Manager and trying out ClockworkMod recovery(its installs ok)
2. Then I boot into recovery by holding the home(house) and power on, I get the white screen of htc death again and it goes into a black screen with a red triangle and a ! on it.
3. Then I release home and power on.
4. Presses down volume up and taps power on.
5. The hero boots into the standard recovery!?
(I think the way im starting up, are reflashing the recovery. am i right?)
Clockwork also have a "flash RA 1.7 recovery" option, ive tried that one too.
But with the same result...
Any one know about this?
Best regards,
Thor Elvin

Dude, nice that you got sorted. I have kids so Carebears are good to have around. Respect to Carebears, and at the same time it would be cool and revisit the forum and thank Pulser, else thank him here as Pulser_g2 (i think). He sort of wrote, reworked the tut originally from the cdma version here. Sorted me too going 2.1 to 2.2. I had shedloads of fun with roms in between but its only thanks to him.
I guess this could be classed as one of those "Circle of life" philosophy budhist type **** things cuz the answer was really where you started, but for me... its all about takin care of the Carebears....
For the record his contract ends around May so get your Hero fix requests in early...!

Hi guys,
just hoping one of your knowlegable forum members may be able to assist or shed some light on why I am experiencing this.
I have successfully rooted and loaded custom roms on my desire.
wife has a htc wildfire, rooted with oneclick root and gold card
hboot 1.o s off
customised rom installed, SU no problems
I cannot load alpha 1.8 on wildfire, (they say version 2)
so rom manager is loaded, flashed the clockwork mod and tried boot to recovery and backup current rom, both result in being taken to the standard htc recovery with no other options (restore etc).
boot to hboot and recovery option aslo lands me back at the standard recovery option, i reboot to current rom no probs.
i have uninstalled/reinstalled rom manager, fixed permissions, get eror when trying to load earlier versions of clockwork in rom manager/ nothing changes?
any thoughts guys? i want to backup this rom before trying something else and losing it.
TX in advance

Have you tried the fastboot method to flash recovery since you have s-off? You can find clockworkmod 3.0 or amonra in the development section in the thread somewhere.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
tx for the reply, i will check it out this evening
Col
I really doubt that fastboot method will work, because it seems you must have eng hboot with normal hboot it won't work. I had a similar situation with hboot 1.01.0001 that was made s-off and in the end I've managed to flash recovery with flash_image tool. Just follow these steps

Of course its gonna boot into the rom...
while the phone is off, hold the volume down button, and press power button while holding the vol down button. white screen with android skateboarders should appear, with several options. wait for it to scan for pc49img, it will say nothing found, its okay. with volume buttons navigate to recovery and press power button.
not that hard eh?
if it doesnt work now, then you have no recovery? no problem. flash one with fastboot mode!

Thanks for the info, but yes I did do that (holding the volume down button and power on) I have gone into recovery loads of times before - so I do know that already LOL. I should have said that.
tried flashing another one through fastbbot i.e. with latest revolutionary for wildfire, still no luck - it just crashes, saying that I may have too high a firmware - but it definately has root - I have titanium running and it backs up and restores perfectly on a CUSTOM rom.
It was just that after I installed rom manager and installed the latest recovery is when everything went wrong.
Even trying to get to recovery through the rom, i.e. clicking on reboot into recovery via rom manager, still just rebooted straight back into the rom
I have tried flashing another via fastboot using revolutionary, but it says that maybe my firmware is too high - even though I have a rooted rom running

I am not getting you here. Revolutionary is a 1 time process to get S-OFF. After that, you need not touch it again to perform functions. How exactly are you trying to install a Recovery using Revolutionary and Fastboot?
Or did you mean Unrevoked? (This does not have anything to do with Fastboot though)
@smokzye - That is a bit "outdated". You do not need the SDK. Just the 4 files in this attachment:

Thanks guys for all your help.
I managed to get recovery back by using "revolutionary-0.4pre4" - I think it's an version of revolutionary, but it sorted it, and now I can boot into recovery. It did at first say that I already have S-OFF and questioned whether I knew what I was doing - LOL, but after that it asked whether I wanted to install a recovery and it put on Clockwork recovery dl'd from the internet.
Hello guys
i just need your help. i got the DHD for about 4 months now which i like a lot. but i just can't get over all the processes that run on the background. i like the HTC sense and i would like to keep it.
the big BUT kicks in now though. i know nothing of android and all these s-off, radios, roms etc make my head spin in thousands of rpm.
so, please. can someone tell me what exactly is all these?
i know that a rom is a (let's say) different unofficial version of the given android release. and i know (i think i do) thas s-off and s-on is something about a superuser "account" that let's you uninstall all the programs you don't want like facebook, tweet, stock market etc.
and i think that the radio has something to do with the "version" of the wifi/gsm "transreceiver" the phone has (it sounds like a bios thingy to me)
and to conclude the whole post (cause i'm sure it's tiring)...
i want to root my phone. i don't mind the contacts cause i can back them up (i guess) with a program (i don't know what the best one is since HTC sync just keeps some of the phone numbers and not all of them... :S) which i will find in the market.
so, rooting my phone and the superuser thing is what am looking for.
can someone please help me on that? can i root the phone AND keep the version that is already installed? (stock one)
should i do it? how easy is it to brick the phone and render it useless? and what should i do if it's bricked?
or should i just wait for the 2.3 version to surface with a new rooting procedure?
am on 1.72.405.3 version and i saw on the forum that you have to downgrade to a previous one to be able to root.
am sorry for the big newbie post guys but i would really appreciate your help.
thanks a lot
Cheers !!!
Youre right about the Rom and Radio thingy. S-off means that you are rooted and that you can delete system apps, Flash new roms and can use apps that need Root access. There's Another and that's ENG-S off, meaning that you can flash new radio's ( Improve battery life also!)
Contacts: You can Export them to SD (00001.vcf) And then Import them Back later! Personally i have import it to my Gmail account, because i like flashing roms

Thanks for the reply mate. However there is another thing that troubles me.
There is this clockworkmod thingy...
What is that? Do I have to install this so I can just install a Rom or is it for something else like a backup etc?..
Sorry for all those questions...

P.S. installed the xda app.. nice one.

If you have rooted with visionary app an s-off, then just download ROM manager app from market and tap to flash clockworkmod. And yes, you need cwm to be able to backup your ROM and flash a custom one.
i did the root thing, installed visionary, permrooted, checked if the root is ok with root check prog from the market and went to flash the rom that was suggested (only cause i know you guys know FAR more than me so i trust you)
installed the clockworkmod rom manager, tried to install the new rom but i get stuck in the red triangle icon
tried to search for help in the forums but i can't find any regarding this.
i think i'm doing it right but..... oh well
anyways, thanks for the help guys. will try to find a solution but am not that optimistic about it.

That Red Triangle is the default recovery, not ClockWorkMod Recovery, so something has not been done right.
Do you have S-OFF? as it is needed to flash clockworkmod.

was there a month ago
checked through the "boot menu" (holding volume - while booting)

When you installed Rom Manager did you give it root permission, when Superuser asked?
Lets say you would be very unlucky if you were to brick it.
Take Care
TheQuest
the same thing.....
i reinstalled rom manager and it didn't ask for any permissions. there was this option to give the program permissions again. did it, it was getting some like 175 permissions, rebooted when asked but still nothing.
the white screen comes up
if i try to do all the steps again from the begining, do i risk to destroy the phone?....
does anyone know?
thanks for your patience...
Cheers !!!
and another thing.....
IF the update is being done and i am lucky enough, how will i know that it IS being updated?
will it come up with something like the "update" i did when i downgraded the version to gain root access and s-off?
Cheers !!!
Assuming you're rooted with S-off and Eng s-off; how are you trying to flash the rom?
ok, narrowed it down a bit....
a bit of history.. s-off and eng s-off are there. superuser icon is there, clockworkmod is there (didn't ask me for permissions when installed but i did "fix permissions" from inside the program, rebooted after being asked).
checked root success with "root check" from the market, done.
now, i get stuck in the white htc screen when i do "flash clockworkmod recovery" and "install rom from SD card"
but i also get stuck on the white screen when i "reboot into recovery"
does this mean something to you guys?
after i installed clockworkmod do i have to do anything else with the program? (i call them programs cause i don't know the actual terminology).
i read somewhere about a clockworkmod "rom" ....????
is this something i need to do? find a cwm rom to install and recover to that?
(god, why isn't this like windows?....... it's SO difficult)
one more time, i apologize for my ignorance and i really appreciate your time spent helping me...

i'm trying to flash the rom from within the rom manager.
i do the order of "flash cwm recovery" and "install rom from SD card"
is that incorrect?......
Cheers !!!
It isn't the way i do it.
i always boot into recovery and flash roms from recovery. You should see the option there to do it.
By the way, before flashing a rom from recovery, it would be a good idea to do a full wipe using Full Wipe 1.3 first. This is done from recovery also.
drop your new rom zip and the Full Wipe 1.3 into your sd card, open rom manager (make sure it shows clockwork mod installed) then boot into recovery from rom manager. Run full wipe first then install the rom.
i did that also but again, it stays on the white htc screen like when i choose install a rom from SD card...
i even tried "updating" to wipe everything and bring the phone to the previous state (no root, no rom manager" and did the same things one more time.
but...
i guess i'm not "qualified" to do these things....
Cheers !!!
i have the fullwipe1.3.zip in the SD card but i can't boot into recovery to do it. it stays on the white screen of almost death (i have to take it a bit light cause it'll drive me crazy. hahaha)
Cheers !!!
Are you following these instructions?
Flashing your rom
- Tell any people that might call you during the next 10-15 minutes to not worry
- Connect your phone using "Disk drive" to the computer.
- Copy both your full-wipe-1-3.zip and your rom zip file to your SD Card
- Make sure you copied them correctly
- Check again because once you full wipe, you won't have a rom.
- Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Install and open Rom Manager from the market
- Tap on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
- Wait for it to download (yes, you need a wi-fi or data connection)
- After it is done press "Reboot into recovery"
- If you get an icon with a phone and an exclamation mark in a triangle, remove the battery from your phone, reboot and then flash the clockworkmod recovery again
- Once you are in the clockwork mod recovery, you may use the volume keys as directional keys (up and down) and the power button may be used as Enter.
- I recommend you do a nandroid back-up. You must have at least 1 gb of free space.
- Select "Install Zip from sdcard"
- Select "Choose zip from sdcard"
- Select full-wipe-1-3.zip (It's right under those folders)
- Confirm by selecting the Yes option in between those "NO"s
- Wait for it to finish
- DO NOT REBOOT!!! In case you were not aware, you now have no rom installed
- Once again select "Install Zip from sdcard"
- Select "Choose zip from sdcard"
- Select your rom zip file
- Confirm your selection (just like with the wipe)
- Wait for it to finish
- Please reboot from the recovery menu and flash nothing else before you have rebooted
- Pop a champagne bottle, because it's done.
Taken from wid0w's instructions.
yup, done this. but again, when i boot into recovery, the white screen comes up.
i have read that there may be a problem with the rom manager (with some devices) and i may need to "downgrade" the version of it..... could this be the reason?
but i don't know if i can find a previous version
Cheers !!!
