I was having a problem with flashing my magic's recovery I downloaded the amon ra recovery 1.5.2 and flashed it via terminal

# su
#flash_image recovery /sdcard.....

It flashed with no problem I rebooted into recovery and it just stayed on the green mytouch screen I tried restarting with menu+greencall+redendcall no luck had to remove the battery I let it restart again it loads fully to the cm mod rom then workes fine so it has no recovery I. Tried to reflash amon ra again same result then I tried to flash cyanogens 1.4 recovery same result what's going on

Magicc running cm mod 4.2.11.1

Was running cyanogen 1.4 + jf. Any help would be great
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Did you check the MD5-sum

Did you flash the G version?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] typedink:
With this recovery I should be able to partition my card to use apps2sd right? I tried via recovery but my apps are still being installed on internal memory. I have a mytouch 3G, and I am using the card that came with it a 4gb class 6.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Which ROM are you using? Does it support apps2sd?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] typedink:
Oh sorry, I am using RAv1.6.2 - DONUT.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
I didn't include apps2sd in my ROM, that's why it's not working.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] typedink:
OH I thought it had the ability, so if its not in the rom what steps would I do to enable it? But once that is enabled then this recovery should let me do that then?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
I intentionally didn't enable apps2sd because I really don't see the purpose of it. Apps2sd will just slow things down. There's plenty of space for apps in DATA on a Magic so why would someone need it? Do you have like 250+ apps ?

It's not a matter of enabling it, you'll need to manually create all links yourself etc.. to much to explain here..

The recovery will just move the files like mentioned in the first post : * Move apps+dalv to SD :: Moves all apps and Dalvik-cache to sdcard (This will NOT enable apps2sd!)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] droid2006:
Thanks for your reply sorry for replying back late I went and flashed the g version I didn't realize there were 2 diff versions my bad should have payed more close to your instructions. One thing though how do I find if I 32a or b and how do I check the md5-sum, I'm getting used to doing a lot of stuff just never learned those yet once again thanks for your help.

One thing forgot to mention that i when I flashed the g version it worked
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Check your SPL (hold back while you power on the phone)

It will mention 32A or 32B in the first line.

On linux you just use the "md5sum" command, on windows you can probably download software for it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SemiDivine808:
Hey Amon Ra,

I wanted to pick up a mytouch 3g soon and i was wondering if i can use this recovery img... RA-sapphire-v1.5.2.img.... for the donut version of the phone? or do i have to unroot it to the cupcake version?

And also, how can i tell if my version is donut (1.6) or cupcake (1.5)?

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mikewood86:
For your version:

Settings> About Phone> and then look at the Firmware version.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] palexr:
There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers

"There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers"

With that in mind here goes. I have flashed the latest recovery no probs. I have been using Amon's recovery ROMs for ages to partition, install other ROMs, wipe, etc... However, I have no idea what some of the functions do :confused:

I know, stupid.

But could someone, briefly, outline what the following do, their

benefits

and when they should be used?

Fix apk uid mismatches

Move apps+dalv to SD

Move recovery.log to SD

Wipe Dalvik-cache

Repair SD:ext

When should this be used? What will it do if I do this in the normal course of things ie not when flashing a ROM[/INDENT]

SD:ext 3 to ext 4

I understand that ext2 to ext 4 might speed the system up but I have a nagging feeling that not all ROMs support ext4? I am on CM 4.2.12.2

Cheers

Unable to wipe Dalvik cache

In an effort to solve my camera reboot problem, I was going to re flash my ROM(RA-IONv1.6.2H). When I tried to wipe Dalvik cache in recovery mode, I got the error message - use adb to wipe Dalvik cache. What am I missing here?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
That's a small bug I still have to fix, your dalvik cache is wiped, no worries...

hi guys,

i've tried to update ra-sapphire-v1.3.2h to ra-sapphire-v1.5.2h.

i have copied recovery.img into the /data folder and rebooted the phone.

recovery didn't flashed correctly i supposed. when i try to enter the recovery (home + power) it stuck on the orange menu. nothing happends.

i've also tried to flash the recovery via terrminal.

"flash_image recovery recovery.img" gives back:

mtd: write error at 0x00... (out of memory)

mtd: re-read error at 0x00... (out of memory)

anyone has some advice?

Hi.

Im using manup456's Eclair_2.0.1-v1.4r2 rom and 1.5.2G recovery. I tried to do a nandroid backup (which i have done before of this rom) but failed and said

Error : Run 'nandroid-mobile.sh via adb

I would do this if I knew how. I haven't done anything since last backup!

Has this problem got a solution anyone's discovered?

Thanks in advance
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jeremiasz:
thanks Amon,

i had perfected so fastboot wasn't for me (yesterday) but today i've change it to eng and ofc your advice works fine.

thx again.

Windows md5sum checker

Hey guys, I went searching for a windows based md5sum checker & found this md5summer! it installs on most windows flavors & creates an md5sum file for whatever you're checking.

Just in case anybody has this error i recommend reading the recovery log. I needed 130mb of free space to perform a back up. Just needed to delete unwanted backups:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] trujap:
i'm also in the mix of trying to figure out how to get this new recovery on my rogers magic. i've typically did updates from fastbooting the amon recovery. but i want a way that i dont have to always have the computer plugged into the phone. i've tried renaming the recovery to the /data and then rebooting the phone and then putting it into recovery. But i still seem to have this old version of a recovery that doesn't allow me to apply other zips etc.... any suggestions?

Thanks

Some direction needed to reroot a replacement MT3G.

Amon_Ra,

OK please let me rephrase my previous question on how to root my replacement phone.

I read your list of contributions and impressive they are, however I am somewhat confused as to which method to apply to get my MT3G back to root from all of the selections in your signature. My current SPL is 1.33.0006 and I can get the three skateboarding droids in fastboot. It appears to me there are several methods to install your recovery then a ROM to root in your list and that is where my confusion lies as to which method to apply. I realize that noobs like me are a PITA but we do appreciate your help.

Thank you or anyone else that can help me

Amon Ra Recovery

Hey everyone,

I'm having an issue when attempting to install the latest Amon Ra Recovery. Once I open the recovery flasher and back up the image, I typed in /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img

and where to click to flash the image is grayed out. I just left the cm-img there and flashed it instead.

I don't quite get what to do.

I'm running a MT3G (32B) HTC MAGIC with CM 1.4 and Cyanogens latest 4.2.13.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mramonks:
Have you tried doing it through a terminal from the market. The instructions are on the first post. It worked for me and the dude at the top of this page.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] revengineer:
You can also try fastboot. First try to boot the ROM with

fastboot boot recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img

If this works then you can flash it permanently using

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img

good luck,

rev
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tnpapadakos:
wtf

if you're using a HTC Magic (and it DOES NOT say Google on the back of your phone), you have to use the "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img" not the "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img"

is that the case?

cause i had that problem when i first started doing this stuff, and it was a real pain in the ass, until i finally figured out what those instructions on the first page really meant
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Recovery Flasher only works on old kernels that were susceptible to a root escalation bug...one that has since been fixed in Donut and later (ie Cyanogenmod) builds of Android. The button in flashrec can be made clickable by touching on the right edge of the screen - a * will appear and the button will be clickable. That being said, it won't work on cyanogen - clear and simple.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LucaMagicG2:
i've got a problem..when i choose "wipe dalvik" appears this message: run "wipe dalvik" via adb!.. why? and if it's normal, how can i do? thx
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sandis84:
something that would be AWESOME to add would be the option to shutdown the phone from the recovery-menu! Now I am forced to reboot and then restart, which is kind of bothersome.

Otherwise everything is perfect, thanks! (^-^)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mdtje:
Hmm i'm kind of stuck when i tried to flash the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img.

First i tried via terminal. It doesn't say it flashes anything (it also doesn't give me an error, so i suppose its good), but when i try to get into the recovery my phone is stuck on the red vodafone splash screen.

I tried through adb, but that gives the same result.

the method through simple reboot doesn't seem to do anything.

I believe i don't have an engineering spl, so fastboot is not an option i guess.

What should i try next? I'm stuck now on cyanogens 4.04. (while i used to have the latest enomther)

using:

sapphire pvt 32b eng s-off h

hboot-1.22.2005 (sapp10000)

radio-2.22.19.26I

*edit:

Tried through fastboot. (seems that i have engineering spl, was confused with danger spl or engineering spl i guess)

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

It says it flashes the image just fine, but again the phone is stuck on the red vodafone splash screen when i try to get into recovery :(

*edit2:

Sorry guys! I already fixed the problem. I used the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img, while I should use the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img. Everyting works fine now!

I have one problem with my Magic 32A

When I flash the zip file of Cursor by recovery 1.5.2H, it did not work, so it reset immediately and get stuck at HTC logo.

When I tried to come back recovery mode, after few seconds, it reset.

I re flash the recovery img but it still the same (come in and reset)

Can you help me about this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tnpapadakos:
sounds like the img file is bad...try getting it again and use that one, or flash it from terminal instead
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] The_Franchise:
only issue i have with the recovery is that the home button is a bit sensitive when partitionin the sd card.

i press it once and it skips the size and i want to partition and go straight to formattin the card.

takes me a couple of tries of pressin and releasin the home button as fast as i can to get the size option

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
This is a recovery image not a ROM...plus you dont have to unroot and get stuck with a perfected spl while doing the Rogers update. Look up CursorSense, its based on the Rogers update.

After using this recovery about 1month , i having a problem to do nandroid restore.. it says

error: run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb.

Before this I have done a lot of backup and restore just clicking the button and y suddenly the recovery ask me to do it via adb??? Is it my backup got sum error(before this its work perfectly)? Or ineed to Replace back my recovery mode?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Check the recovery log...

any idea?

now i dont have ANY more recovery :(

i had the "old" amon ra recovery before
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cosmique:
now i copied the img file to the location where fastboot is.

What kind of Phone are you using?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cosmique:
HTC Magic 32B white - G

with flashrec i could get the CM recovery back.

but this one here still not :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Just flash this recovery using CM's recovery (use the flash_image binary).

PS : You have a perfect SPL hence the not allowed error...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cosmique:
thanks but how?

i have your recovery on the sdcard

then when i go to cm's recovery i have following options:

- apply sdcard:update.zip

- apply any zip from sd

- wipe data / factory reset

- nandroid v 2.2 backup

- restore latest backup

- repair ext filesystem

- go to console

:confused:

i have tried again via flashrec also

just changed the url to http://127.0.0.1/sdcard/recovery.img

but this isnt working either

i also uploaded the img to my own webhost and then changed the url to that - and its telling "wrong checksum"

hmmmm :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cosmique:
i have done this - i hope its correct

c:\android\tools>adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

flashing recovery from /sdcard/recovery.img

(i have renamed the img to "recovery.omg)

Problem with adb script

I have copied over the switchrom.sh file to /system/sd but keep getting an error when trying to store a rom saying that it can not find the nandroid script.

I believe that the script provided is pointing to the wrong location.

/sbin/nandroid-mobile.sh

where is it located with your recovery image?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
You don't need to copy the switchrom.sh because it's already included in my recovery!!

Just boot into recovery, start adb and enter "switchrom" or "u" to start, that's it.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tnpapadakos:
you probably need recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img, not recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img

if your phone says google on the back of it you need the G version

also, use the signature option and list what your working with, rom, phone, sdcard, anything else that can help people diagnose your situation

I kinda worry not having a working recovery, even though my phone is fully functional.

It works with the new radio and the trackball works correctly unlike with the hero recovery on the Magic 32A.

I'm wondering if I need to be aware of anything else with this recovery that might cause issues or conflicts?

Recovery Flashed with Errors

Hello,

I was running 1.2.3H and updated to 1.5.2H on my Rogers Magic (32A). I was using a terminal application on the phone. The first couple of tries I got "(Out of Memory)" errors but I didn't want to change to an eng. SPL to use fastboot. On the first couple attempts with the terminal I selected only "Allow" option from the "su" prompt. The last time however I used "Allow Always". I still got the errors (about 5 or 6 lines) but when I checked the recovery image I was at 1.5.2. This wasn't the case before.

Would you all say this was a successful update despite the errors? I don't know if I can trust the update or not.

Appreciate any feedback or tips that I can use to confirm that everything is okay with the recovery I'm running now.
