I used this to flash an unmodified nandroid backup from the Japanese ION to my Vodafone UK Magic. Just letting those know that if they also plan to do something similar, I did not need to flash my SPL to do this. So that takes potential warranty concerns out of the equation. Note that this is only applicable if you are not interested in rooting your phone (as is my situation). Also note that the first thing you should do is wipe the system settings (in case of restoring someone else's nandroid backup like I did) as otherwise your accelerometer calibration will likely be out.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
If your accelerometer is not working : "rm /data/misc/akmd* /data/misc/rild*" and reboot. No need to wipe...

Need Help!!!!

Hey Guys,

Im really trying to do as follow as what it state below..

1) i did Fastboot mode (holding back+power after switching off)

2) it came out white screen with details on bout the phone n state there Fastboot. From there, theres several option which i have to choose by pressing 'back button', 'action button', 'menu button' n 'send button'.

So which one is it?

3) i connect my device to my pc

4) im trying to do fastboot boot recovery.. Which i really have no clue how..

Please help me out here.. Im really cracking my head n really trying to get this.. Just help me out step by step n what to press. Im really new at this n really want this google app in my phone. (Im using HTC Magic spl 1.33.0009)

I need to do this asap, please guys..

Thanks Guys,

Try it out WITHOUT making changes to your device (NO flashing):

1. Boot the device in fastboot mode.

2. Connect the device to your machine over USB.

3. $fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img OR $fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.1.1G.img

Flash it permanently (try it first by following the steps above and making a nandroid backup first!):

1. Boot the device in fastboot mode.

2. Connect the device to your machine over USB.

3. fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img

Wait for a minute or two..

adb shell mount -a

Ignore the failed mounts...

adb push recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img /system/recovery.img

adb push recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img /sdcard/recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img

adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img

4. Reboot

If the flashing doesn't work you might need to flash your SPL :

- 32A board : apply this update from your sd-card after fast booting with this recovery.

- 32B board : apply this update from your sd-card after fast booting with this recovery.

Special thanks to :

Cyanogen for updating Nandroid 2.1.1 with the restore functionality! , buy him a beer!

No mention is made of you needing to select any options..

I suggest you carefully read things though, the last thing I'd imagine you'd want is a dead phone due to inexperience or missing an important detail. All the information is usually provided if you read carefully.

I follow the first part, i.e., I am using RA ROM. No error message prompted but the process did not make any changes to the RAv1.1.1H.img previously installed.

When I follow the 2nd part, erro message "not enough space" was prompted when entering command line "adb push recovery-RAv1.1.2H.img /system/recovery.img"

Hi all

Is needed a wipe before to make a restore? I suppose that it makes a erase system -w and then the wipe isn't needed.

Can the last Nandroid Recovery restore a backup made with an earlier version?

apps2sd = move apps to sd

parted = partition to ext2, fat23 and swap?

e2fsck = check health of file system

mke2fs = creates ext2? different to parted?

mkyaffs2image

sdtools.sh

tune2fs = tune file system settings?

unyaffs

plus others that look too difficult or are self explanatory

i like the idea of easy apps2sd and partitioning.......not sure if it is required with magic.... will app speed be slower or faster on sd? ...... makes flashing different roms faster though!

Depending on which roms you have used the apps are stored in different locations. It is best to get in and do a manually delete of things from the adb shell.

Wiping works fine, it wipes DATA and CACHE.

If you notice that some apps are still there after wiping you are most probably using apps2sd.

Im removing the Download till i Fix a bug. I will upload a new version Tomorrow and re post link.

Sorry about this. Im new to this.

I have finished my GUI interface for Twisted Zero's new updating methods. :D

It is still very early beta but i updated my phone with it. It is a very simple Visual Basic app that runs Twisted Zero's Preparation.bat file. Because no files are built into my program they can be swapped for other Twisted Zero builds(that have the same configuration).

The requirements are all of the ones on Twisted Zero's post for the roms and the New Recovery by Cyanogen And maybe the newest .net by Microsoft I haven't tested any others than the newest.

Once you open the program in order to start the update you must check the button asking if you have the new recovery (Its not required to have but is a good idea). Then you can start the update It will ADB push all necessary files then reboot your phone into Recovery mode. Once in Recovery mode press update from update.zip This is the only input needed by the user. After that restart and Welcome to Hero.

Version 0.0.1

This is the M build by Twisted Zero

YOU HAVE TO EXTRACT THE HERO INSTALLER TO C:\Program Files IT WONT WORK ANYWHERE ELSE!

Some thoughts

1. Read Twisted Zero's post

2. Make sure you have apps to sd (this program wont ADB without it)

3.Twisted Zero, Cyanogen and Me are not responsible with what you do with this.
[G1 Android Development] darthspartan:
Has anybody used it. I need some feedback to fix stuff.
[G1 Android Development] Pinesal:
So, this installes twistedZero rom from any rooted rom?
[G1 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
any rooted Rom already using apps to sd could technically just download hero update and do system only update then update only update. There is a download issue right now but I'm fixing it as I post this.

This is to update from your phone via pc from any rooted rom to the new rom without the android sdk for adb

Editing the registry fixes this too. My post in another thread:

I take you are using a generic ROM? My mms was fine when I was on the original O2 ROM, but then when I upgraded and went generic my mms pics were tiny. Turns out that is because operators put in custom mms settings in the registry, otherwise it gets default mms settings that are years old, hence the tiny pictures.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bryceowen:
I've searched the forums for an answer to this and I've found partial answers. I'm hoping I can get a response that will work for me.

Firstly, in the 'Bands' tab, I'm looking for some clarification on the options available. Under 'network type' there is 'Auto', 'GSM', and 'WCDMA'. Auto, I understand. GSM I'm assuming means GSM network (T-Mo, AT&T and not CDMA). WCDMA, according to Wikipedia, is basically the network that allows 3G speeds over GSM networks.

Now, when I set the network to GSM, I get an EDGE icon in place of the 3G. When I set it to WCDMA, I get 3G, as well I should.

First question: If I set the network to WCDMA, will it force my Fuze to ONLY connect to 3G? Where I live, I'm finding it hard to find a 3G dead zone to test without traveling 30 miles...

Second question: Does forcing 3G only improve battery life? I read in one post there are separate radios for 3G and EDGE/GPRS (which makes sense as to how you're able to talk and use the data connection simultaneously) and by forcing one, the phone doesn't constantly scan for the other.

My third question has to deal with having my device automatically disconnect the data connection after it finishes its business. I read in several posts that 'Advanced Config' has an option to set the data timeout, but I've read through the menus several times and have seen no such option. Are there multiple versions of advanced config floating around? Barring that, could someone just tell me what registry entry to add/edit to set the timeout? I read in yet another post that the phone automatically disconnects after 30 minutes, but that doesn't seem to be the case, as I tested mine and we're going on over an hour with no connection drop. (No email is being checked and weather is disabled. Prior to me starting this particular data connection, the phone had been connectionless for almost 16 hours.)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pilgrim011:
AdvancedConfig/Menu/More settings/Connections.

There is also that option in DiamondTweak.

WCDMA means 3G only, which means that your phone isn't searching for GSM signal. I haven't noticed battery improvement when forcing 3G, although that would be logical.
