[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
This is a custom recovery based on Cyanogen's recovery source with a lot of things added by me. The purpose of this recovery is to avoid using adb by accessing all features directly from the menu.

All source code is available at github.

This recovery if for the HTC Magic/MT3G only, if you have an :

- HTC Dream/G1 you should go here.

- HTC Hero you should go here.

- HTC Sprint Hero you should go here.

- HTC Eris you should go here.

- HTC Tattoo you should go here.

- HTC Nexus One you should go here.

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!

You can do this by doing :

"cat /tmp/recovery.log" OR "cat /cache/recovery/log" right after you had the issue.

Use the "move log to sd" option in the "others" menu right after you had the issue. This will move the log to /sdcard/recovery.log so you can easily open it with a text editor.

Features

Use the trackball (up+down) to navigate through the menu, press the trackball to select items.

You can also use the volume keys (vol-up + vol-down) to navigate, and the CALL-ANSWER key to select items (in case your trackball is broken).

Install

There are several ways to install a custom recovery, choose the one that suits you most (I probably forgot a few).

You don't need to enter "mount -a" if your partitions are already mounted.

Use the H/G version if your Magic is HTC branded (PVT 32A board)/Google branded (PVT 32B board).

via fastboot :

Requires engineerings SPL!

Copy recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img to a location where fastboot can find it.
Boot your G1 into fastboot mode (boot while holding BACK)
Connect your G1 via usb to your pc/mac/...
fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your device)
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img

via adb :

Requires a custom recovery (with test-keys) like Cyanogen's v1.4 or my previous recovery

Do NOT follow these steps from a terminal application on the phone, make sure that you've booted into a custom recovery first!!!

Copy recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
Connect your G1 via usb to your pc/mac/...
adb shell
#mount -a (this can give back an error if you don't have an ext partition, don't worry about it and just proceed)
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img

via terminal application installed on the phone :

Requires root

[*]DO NOT use this method with CM5.0.7, there are currently some memory issues while flashing, use the above methods (preferably the fastboot method) instead until the issue is fixed in CM5.0.7!

Copy recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img

Download

ALWAYS check the md5sum to make sure the zip isn't corrupted.
