Hi everyone,
I've managed to install DangerSPL on my 32B Magic via Clockwork Recovery - however, Clockwork Recovery keeps vanishing after each reboot and the standard recovery takes its place... what's with that?
It is suppose to do this? I thought it was suppose to replace the stock Android one permanently?
How do I go about making the install stick?
Thanks!
(My first time rooting, updating etc Android)
Cheers for all the support and help!
Nate.
PS>
When it boots back into Android System Recovery <2e>
It says at the bottom :
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
In /system/recovery.img there is a full copy of everything that is loaded on the recovery partition. This file is automatically flashed onto the recovery partition every time you shut down. That means two things: 1. Any changes you make directly to the recovery partition gets blown away on reboot and 2. If you want to change the recovery partition you're probably better off just sticking the image in /system/recovery.img and rebooting.
So to fix this problem you have to rename the custom recovery file to:
recovery.img
then make sure it's on /system/recovery.img.
This will make sure that you have the custom recovery on every boot.
NB: The info is borrowed and modified a little.

wanted to update my phone to 2.3 but i rooted and flashed the liberty 1.0 and was looking for a way to go back since Rom Manager did not save my back up so i went to this thread TBH & MyDroidWorld Present: Droid 2 (2.3.20) Triple Threat and followed these steps without uploading anything on to the sd card dumb move i know !
To install the above files you need to follow these directions:
1) boot phone into recovery
2) go to mounts and storage
3) format system
4) mount system
5) install zip from sdcard
6) choose zip from sdcard
there was obviously nothing in there to load so i went back to reboot system and now my phone will not make it pass the first boot screen if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated !
It keeps on looping in boot animation i got it to a screen displayed like this once dont know how though ..

Hello Everybody, I will be very grateful if someone help me deal with my problem.
I have been on Android rom with my hd2 phone since a year ago and decided to try the clockworkMod recovery about 3 days ago but it does not seem to work so i followed so many videos on utube as I was getting frustrated.
I have already installed magldr v1,13,
Hi guys, I am seriously in need of your help. On my HD2 phone, I think I have managed to install clockwork Mod recovery v 3.0.0.5 but can't install a ROM on the sd card. After flashing and trying to install a rom from the sd card, "message on my phone was", finding update package.....
Opening update package.....
E: can't open/sdcard/Typhoon cm7 v3.6.8 clk.zip is bad.( I am not sure if I installed the correct rom)
I have also tried following several video links but still no luck.
-I have tried to format my sd card several times
-wipe cache partition
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe Dalvik cache
I am currently stuck and don't know what to do again.
I already have on my phone, HSPL: 2.08, Radio: 2.15.50.14 and Magldr: v1.13
After trying several tricks, I have realised that, I cannot boot into magldr any more.
Any help guys?
Folow steps:
- install HSPL: 2.08 and Radio: 2.15.50.14 (read all about installing hspl or your device will be bricked!!!)
- if you have activesync installed, right click on activesync/connection settings, untick "allow usb connection"!
- download mtty.exe to your computer
- switch your phone to spl screen (volume down + power)
- connect your phone to usb/computer
- run mtty.exe, chose "usb" (if you not see usb, something is not ok), if you see usb, press enter (if you see mtty> ...etc all is ok, if not -> repeat until you make mtty conection with your phone)
- in mtty window type: task 29 and press enter (it will format your romfs)
- in mtty window type: task 2a and press enter(it will format your romfs and relocate bad blocks)
- done, you formated your romfs -> exit mtty
- in activesync enable again "allow usb connection"
- go to folder MAGLDR113_DAF
- run ROMUpdateUtility.exe and wait until you have done installing magldr
- restart your phone and press power button until you see magldr menu
- sellect usb flasher in magldr menu
- go to folder clockwork and use proper cwm for your rom and run daf.exe
- done
Next step:
- download free version of the MiniTool Partition Wizard and install it in your computer
- format your sd card with MiniTool Partition Wizard (1x primary/fat32 , resize: do not forget to leave 1gb space for the an ext2 partition) (1x primary/ext2), apply changes ...done)
- so you have 2 primary partitions on your sd card (1x fat32 1x ext2)
- coppy rom.zip to your sd card and reboot to magldr (press power and wait magldr menu)
- select ad recovery, go to install rom from sd card, select "chose image from sd card", install, ...done, reboot
NOTE:
some roms not working if your sd card not have an ext2 partition of the 1gb!!
I am not 100% sure, but I am new to hd2 device, for magldr version you need magldr rom...
Hello, thanks for your quick reply. I will try all the steps and hope it helps me.
Sorry, I forgot to ask you where to download the mitty.exe file from and is there a particular version to download?
Thanks.

more importantly, you have magldr but have downloaded teh cLK version of typhoon. no need to reflash anything. (cLK is an alternative to magldr, and requires a slightly different build rom, thats why there are two versions of most roms.)
Redownload teh correct version and it will flash, , probably no need for the 'ohyougottadoatask29standononelegreformateverythingreturntostockreapplyhsplflashanewradioreinstallwindowsgetanewpcandreflash' doomsayers though i suspect its too late and you already started. hehe.
You can´t Flash clk over magldr. Go to the site/post and Download the magldr version
And when you stil have problems and nothing works for you try a different Sd card.
Hi munjeni,
Thanks a lot, I have managed to boot into magldr and even tried to intstall clk typhoon cyanogen Mod 7 nightly v3.6.9 and tried both the MAGLDR and CLK but it failed. I had an error message after I have rebooted "nand kernel open failed"
I had earlier installed MAGLDR 150MB system/ 5MB cache clockworkMod Recovery V3.0.2.5 (Is this the right Recovery to install?)
I am just confused and don't know what to do again.
Now that I can boot into magldr how do I proceed from there?
Thanks for your advice;

Again, try the Magldr version. Big ups. Let us know.
I am stuck after the error message "nand kernel open failed" I don't know where to start from...any ideas?
You should be more detailed. When does it say failed? When you try start cwm? Or after you flash the rom?
Get correct magldr rom
Enter magldr
Option 8-ad recovery.
If that's where it gives failed, go back into magldr, "USB flashing" and re apply cwm.
Once in cwm, choose wipe data/factory reset then "install zip from SD - choose zip" and select the typhoon zip.
Report back.
It is as follows:
I installed a rom where the mobile phone at the end of the installation not started already, was stuck on the logo of Huawei.
So I downloaded a stock rom (after extracting and so) put the dload folder on the SD card, as is done ....
So when I went to the pink screen to start the update, I connected to the pc normally and nothing ...! Just keep in pink screen!
I suspect it's a driver on the pc, but I can not see ....
The drivers 'android updater' do not install!
It was supposed (i3.ytimg.com/vi/Nu1TYdJdv18/maxresdefault.jpg) happen, but not!
Help please! :crying:
are you sure you have right files? you must have a dload folder on ROOT of sd card.
try redownloading from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/c97gnolbh9759y7/dload.zip
this is where i download every time i flash stock rom
If you are using forumber's partition, you have to return to stock partition

OK. Get a clean sdcard, or format your current one (backup your data first), and put the dload folder onto your sdcard. Now, remove the battery from the phone and insert the sdcard with the dload folder into your phone. Connect your phone's cable to your phone, and the USB end into a computer. It should start installing the firmware in your dload folder. Report your results please.

It should have started updating automatically. Please check that on the root of your sdcard you have dload folder, and inside the dload folder you have UPDATE.APP. If that's already there, it could be that the sdcard is not able to mount.

If you are able to go to pink screen then try installing official android 2.3
Thanks for answer.
After installing and rebooting on screen was info:
(logo recovery) formatting cache/ formatting data
Now I have only HUAWEI logo
Maybe problem is in forumber's partition?
How can I back to stock partition?

You can only flash the stock-partition.zip with a custom recovery. I think you need to try to mount the pink screen on your computer and install the custom recovery from there.
When I connect phone (in pink mode) to the computer I have:
I install Huawei_U8800_ICS_ADB_Driver_(MTP) but still not works

Did you try updating the drivers through windows update or something?
The windows auto-update sucks,can't install the drivers oe update them, just says ''you already have the best drivers''...
Maybe the SD Card is unable to mount as you say, if so, can i use a different card or no solution?
So I wiped cache and so on now the thing is hanging at the Motorola screen and that's it.
I tried to get a sbf but all who should be compatible are down so that I pretty much am freaked.
Is there a way to get at least now a clean rom on it maybe something new 4.4.2 without SDCard or is that also a nogo?
----
So if your phone won'T boot and you just have a white light or nothing at all. You probably have less battery power to sbf flash something.
I used the Jumper cable method from Sorensiim.
That worked like a charm.
If you are looking for sbf files. Here are some.
----
So now I rooted that thing and tried to install bootmenu. Iused the adb method with ./install.sh permission denied after the copy procedure was complete ((data/bootmenu chmod etc.). I tried 2ndinit with the problem that the program hangs after the download. So what is it now that freakin thing wants me to do?
----
Got Bootmenu installed now the Defy has a Bootloop. For a short time before it loops the white led blinks. No volume up or volume down work.
----
Hanging at M logo on re-boot
Having rooted the phone . . .
1. Switch on and await blue LED
2. Press volume down to enter Android Boot Menu (v 1.1.8-jordan)
3. Recovery
4. Custom Recovery > Cyanogen Defy Recovery (v5.0.3.1-jordan)
5. Wipe Data / Factory Reset
6. Wipe Cache Partition
7. Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache
8. Install zip from SD card
9. Toggle signature verification to Disabled
10. Toggle script asserts to Disabled
11. Choose zip from SD card
12. Apply zip from SD card
13. Reboot
14. Hangs at M logo
Tried with and without step 10.
The zip files tried are the only two ‘nightlies’ on the XDA website, as I have been unable to find the last ‘stable’ version.
Can anyone help please?
