Perfect :0)

You need to install eng spl because you will get complete freedom...

There is no need for you to flash the recovery or any thing from the system using a terminal.....

The eng spl will allow you to flash anything you want :0)

Using the tool in my signature, you can flash any recovery you want.

Using the recovery you can make nandroid backup and flash new roms..

Then back to the tool, you can flash any radio, spl, recovery or restore nandroid backup.... This way your totally free of the system.. everything goes either trough the fastboot(spl) or recovery...

YOUR IN CHARGE...

IMHO- eng spl is a must :0)

It will on take you 30 sec...

Just do what i suggested earlier - Flashing the 2010 eng spl...

It will take you to the next step in "root world" :0)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
daehl, please DO NOT even try to flash any of the files provided with the tool!

You WILL brick your phone. Those files were not designed for your 32B phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daehl:
Thanks. I definitely want to avoid that ;)

Do you have any advice on my setup so far? Like is my radio & SPL okay? (seem okay as far as I can tell). It is quite a challenge interpreting all the information out there and figuring out what really applies to my circumstance.

I'm pretty impressed by froyo/CM6 so far. Though I notice that my touch screen was noticeably more responsive under CM5.0.8. About the only problems I've noticed so far with CM6.0.0RC2 is that the Market seems very slow and sometimes non-responsive, and I locked up the phone once in camera when I selected 720p video to see what it'd do. Overall, no FCs and it seems quite usable.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
The one thing that you could do is flash 1.33.2005 SPL although it is not necessary. It will allow you to flash things from fastboot which is a good thing - provides more security. (e.g. If your recovery fails and you cant boot into system you can easily flash it through fastboot)

Other than that there is no other gain from changing anything. Your phone won't perform better or solve bugs due to other radio/spl.

Hi bro,

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daehl:
Thanks for the advice. Do I really need to create a goldcard for that?

Also, someday T-Mobile is going to release an OTA froyo update. Is any of this going to prevent me from trying it? (Updating the SPL in particular)

From what I gather, as I stand now, I'll need to revert back to stock Android 1.6, and unroot to get any future OTA updates. I suppose if I do that though, I run the risk of not being able to root again (no idea whether Universal Androot will work on it). My guess is it won't be out for months and by then CM6 will still be better, but who knows...

Just simply, put the file recovery to root of C, rename it to simplest name like boot.img.

In DOS command line, type (fastboot syntax) C:/boot.img

This is full path instead of only name of recovery file. Everything will be OK.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] konstadinos:
With the flash command you install the recovery to the phone. With the boot command you just start the recovery without installing it.

Normally with the boot command the recovery should work.

I tried flashing using the various methods and none worked except for one-click-root method demonstrated here (apparently this method is 'Obsolete' but it worked just fine for me):

smarterware.org/3189/why-and-how-to-root-your-android-phone

Using this app (which is CyanogenMod 1.4 + JF):

ryebrye.com/files/flashrec.apk

I was not able to use the amon_ra roms because it seems I have a 'perfected' SPL. This means adb won't even see the phone and fastboot operations result in failure:

>fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img

sending 'recovery' (4520 KB)... FAILED (remote: not allow)

finished. total time: 0.000s

This method worked for me:

1. Install one click root by typing the flashrec url above in your browser

2. Open flashrec.apk

3. Click backup

4. Click install rom

5. Shut down

6. Restart holding home key

7. Select nandroid 2.2 backup (takes a minute or two)

8. Select wipe data/factory reset (would stall on second loading screen if skipped - backup stuff first using backup apps if you want, I didn't bother)

9. select apply any zip from sd

10. Select update-cm-5.0.8... (cyanogenmod)

11. Select gapps-ds-ERE... (google apps)

12. reboot and enjoy your eclair!

As I said above if I didn't wipe it didn't work. This may have also been because I didn't install the google apps the first time so maybe try that first. Everything could be reverted to unmodded by running restore latest backup in CyanogenMod and running the flashrec.apk again to remove the recovery app. After removing the CyanogenMod recovery the recovery console wouldn't work anymore. Not sure if that is a bug or if this phone doesn't have a recovery mode installed at stock (never tried the stock one before modding). In any case I can still revert to stock (or close enough) if I need to use my warranty which I why I didn't use the SPL updates.

Please let me know if any of my backups are useful to upload or how to upload my SPL or whatever.

I do have console access now so I could possibly update the lastest amon_ra roms. Not sure if it's worth it since the current rom works fine and I may have some trouble reverting to stock if I go further.

Again, please let me know if there's anything I can do to help the community!

I did try to keep my stuff with upgrades from 1.5 to 2.1 and from 2.1 to 2.2 but both times it failed to boot (or maybe I just wasn't patient enough?) So I ended up just wiping everything. Apparently that improves reliability of apps so I'll probably keep doing it.

The OP (First page of this thread) states:

Important notes

* 32A users with SPL 1.76.x should flash the Hero version! (Will be updated to v1.7.0 soon!!)

* Always check recovery.log before posting your issues!

So, yes you need to flash the Hero version. If all else fails, believe what the developer of the code says! Also, the Hero version has been updated to 1.7.0.1
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Tukang PDA:
oh i see.. so i have to use the newest hero version to flash CM6 on my phone. but it says:

if i use the 1.6.2, the CM6 wouldn't flash.. but it says that sapphire can only use the 1.62.. could you help me with this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wjsturgis3:
Since you are trying to install CyanogenMod ROM, I suggest you go to his wiki and look for installing on a Magic 32A. If you have the 6.35 radio, you must revert to the 3.22 radio and matching SPL then use the Sapphire 1.7.0 recovery. There are other ROMs in this Forum that have ported CM 6.0.0 for use with the 6.35 radio none of which have the camera/camcorder working. The choice is yours. You can tell from my signature which I chose.

Hi all!

First I am a noob so here it goes:

I was trying this

Copy recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img to a location where fastboot can find it.

I copied it to the root of the SD CARD so that might be error #1

Boot your G1 into fastboot mode (boot while holding BACK)

That I was able to do but after I see the option for fastboot what do I do to enable it and then what do it do to restart in that mode if that is what we are doing?

Connect your G1 via usb to your pc/mac/...

Easy enough...

fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your device)

No idea what you mean by this.

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img

Not close to getting to this step yet.

Is there a simple way to root my phone (provide super user access?) without wiping my data? My understanding so far is that I would modify the boot.img to allow for root access on the phone.

What changes would I make, or is there a script that makes this easier? Thanks in advance! The tutorials are a little rough.
