would like to customize 1.7.0

I finally upgraded my google ion to cm6 (from stock doughnut 1.6) via amon ra 1.7.0. Thanks to everyone for all this excellent stuff. The problem I have is that the home key seems to be sticking (probably due to being dropped in the toilet) and so I am always forced to be booted into the boot loader. I'm only able to boot into normal cm6 if i connect with usb use 'adb shell reboot system'. My question is, is there any way I can hack the existing 1.7.0 img to add a menu option for 'reboot system' to force my phone to ignore/bypass the home key press its receiving at reboot time (and just boot into the phone normally)? Alternatively, how would I go about adding an option to the power/end key long press dialog that would 'reboot system' instead of a normal reboot. Any links or help you all can provide is greatly appreciated.

thanks,

ji

Hello everyone! :)

I have a HTC Magic 32b with original Froyo 2.2.1, rooted (with SuperOneClick) and BusyBox 1.18.4.

I have the ADB & Fastboot on my Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit and they found my HTC Magic (adb devices & fastboot devices)

I want to install the Recovery Mode (I think that the last is the 1.7.0G) but the guide in the first post don't work for me...

I downloaded the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img and I put the .img in the "tools" folder of ADB (for me, the folder is adb not tools).

Then I reboot the devices on fastboot mode and with a CMD i write "fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img" but this is the result:

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

So I decide to try with Terminal Emulator... I put the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img into root of sdcard and this is the result:

flash_image: not found

So I try with adb shell but nothing...

At the moment I have this recovery mode, but I think is the "original" of the phone...

How I have to do to install the Recovery Mode? I need your help! Thank you very much! :confused::)

Help!

Hi peeps, hoping to get some help here.

I've been running COS-DS for a while & previously CM6.1.0 & CMnightlys on my 32B Magic (aka ION aka MT3G, original not 1.2/Fender) that has the .0013d SPL & .28.25 radio.

Seemingly at random my RA 1.7.0 recovery became corrupted, I'd used it earlier in the day no problems & hadn't tried to flash an alternative like Clockwork or anything else, it just spontaneously screwed up.

I boot to recovery either via shutdown --> Reboot to recovery or manually via turning off the phone & powering on holding down the home button. I get this at the bottom of the screen...

Build : RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G

But the menu that usually pops up a fraction after that never arrives.

First I tried the simple thing, installed Rom Manger from the market & flashed Clockwork, it too stops at the same point, Build : Clockwork xxxx but no menu - flashing RA1.7.0G back as the "alternative recovery" says it flashed successfully but still the same thing.

Then I manually flashed as per the first page instructions, there is no Fastboot Flash on this SPL & as I don't have a working recovery I can't do the ADB in recovery thing, so I did the terminal emulator within the OS method & get something like the following...

"mtd: read error at 0x000X0000 (Out of Memory)"

The number of read errors vary, is this the problem with flashing failing back in the CM5.0.7 days, that Gingerbread too simply runs out of memory to run it?

I've run "fastboot erase recovery" to start cleaner but it still fails to flash correctly. Any ideas how to get out of this mess?

In that is disappeared spontaneously, could there be a problem with the flash memory in the phone? How can I test it?

I'm hesitant to try unrooting with a NBH file in case the flash memory is borked & ending up with a total brick.

Suggestions?

Edit: Yes, the MD5 matches

Edit2: Brick pretty much. Unrooted & fastbooting a recovery comes up the same error as when flash_image eventually went through without errors...

"Build : RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G"

...so I think something is wrong with the nand, the OS bootloops with no ADB access & the HTC recovery is borked too. Initially used TMUS MT3G SAPPIMG with perfect SPL .0006, upgraded to a Vodafone SAPPIMG with HBoot 1.33.0009 S=ON & 3.22x radio, exact same symptoms but at least now I can fastboot boot, but it doesn't work with RA versions 1.7.0, 1.6.2 & 1.2.0 or CW2.5.0.7 (yes I'm using H recoveries now given the SAPPIMG I used, they boot to that "Build" line whereas the G one stays at Splash1, as you would expect with 3.22.x radio).

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WiseJoeyD:
I have a very interesting issue

32b Sapphire

SPL 1.33.0013d

2.22.28.25

Amon Ra 1.7.0g

Been backing up and going between Roms with ease thanks to the backup/restore functions :D

Recently been going back and forth between CyanM 6.1 {307 nightly} and GingerYoshi 1.2.1

Used Superwipe v2 between restores.

Then tried to make a backup just there and.... well... lots of "........."

It just never stops :rolleyes:

Have to do a battery pull (:eek:+:mad:)

The phone works perfectly, boots perfectly fine, recovery and android. It just now has this.. incontinent Backup problem :p

The backup folder varies wildly in size. Even when a set time passes and I battery-pull
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WiseJoeyD:
Well looks like mine did too for some reason. Nandroid is a no go.

Tried to reflash using every method. Geez, harder than updating the radio!

Tried the last option (flash from terminal in CM 6.1) Doh!

That needs to point out that anything from 5.0.7 upwards is impossible.

Now got no recovery... well, got a great setup of a CM6.1 rom.... guess my mod days are at an end?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WiseJoeyD:
For science and the community! :D

For anyone with a bjorked recovery in the very precise and ridonculous way I did (with everything else still working)

Install Rom Manager from market

Download Amn Ra 1.7

Flash Clockwork Rom (any)

none of them worked, go figure anyway...

Reboot into Android

Now you can flash Alternative Recovery

It's the wrong one tho, doh! 1.7 H

Let it download and flash anyway

Take the 1.7 G from earlier, rename 1.7 H

Paste it over the 1.7 H on the sdcard in clockwork mod folder

Back in Rom Manager redo 'Flash Alternate Recovery'

Voila!

Zzzzz

:D

The nandroid backup problem from earlier is... still there! Weird no?

But hey, mostly working Recovery feels way better than none :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WiseJoeyD:
for future Googlians searching for similar 32b recovery problems!

Decided to give it all a go again, now that I have a 'safe' restore procedure.

Freed up as much RAM as possible

unlock launcher from memory

up VM heap to 32

Then flash, flash and flashed again. no rebooting, no leaving the application. Just kept selected "Ion/mytouch3g" and did that a bunch of times.

Power off

Fingers Crossed

Reboot to Recovery...

ClockworkMod!

Colour me surprised. Running a backup now.... and the results?

Well it hung on 'Backing up cache...'

:(

*Cleared cahce. Ran again. Successful backup.

Thanks to the verbose-ness of Clockwork mod I discovered something about cache was tripping up the backup process.

Not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth but for completeness sake...

Gonna put on AmonRa 1.7g

do nandroid - see if it's a success

:rolleyes:

update; it was.

Such a simple fix, and a convoluted journey

Moral of the story:

Clear caches people! :D

Terminal method (rooted on CM6): even after giving super user permissions to my terminal, I get "error writing recovery".

Within clockworkmod: I can connect to the phone, but when flashing I get "error writing recovery: No space left on device" (edit: now my recovery is broken. )

Also, I can't get "Flash alternate Recovery" to be selectable in ROM Manager, my recovery .img is in the clockworkmod folder of my sd, but it still doesn't let me flash. Currently have installed according to ROM manager, a broken CM 2.5.0.7..

Also, I have s-off but for some reason the command

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

returns error: cannot load "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img"

am I missing syntax for having the img in the root of the sdcard? I've tried the same command with /sd and /sdcard prefixing the file name, but it still returns that error.

halp? 32b with ESPRESSO PVT SHIP S-OFF, 7.15.35.16 radio. stuck in CM6 with a radio that doesn't work and need to get up to date.

Am I bricked?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GreenGuava:
I'm pretty sure the Amon RA recovery .img should be in the root of your SD card, not inside any folders.

Move the .img to your SD root and see if that enables the "Flash alternate recovery" option in ROM Manager.

unable to boot into recovery

Hi Guys,

I just flashed my 32A with 6.35 Radio and 1.76.2007 SPL according to this post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=605239). Now I have 32A + HBOOT 1.76.2007 + 6.35.10.18 Radio.

Supposedly I'm now able to SDflash my ROM to any rom under Amon_RA's recovery mode, but my device gets stuck everytime I try to boot into recovery mode.

According to Amon_RA, I should use "32A users with SPL 1.76.x should flash the Hero version! (Will be updated to v1.7.0 soon!!)" and I'm using recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img which I believe is correct. When I tried to flash the Sapphire recovery image with "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img", it'll show the recovery mode for 5 secs, then the device hangs.

I've repeatedly flashed the devices (i.e. radio-> hboot-> recovery->erase system->reboot), but none of the combinations seems to work now. Maybe I'm missing out some steps, hopefully someone can shed some light on me :).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 3shimi:
I solved the issue. I was able to extract the img file from the RUU and just use goldcard/hboot to flash my device. Still dont understand why it gets stuck and not able to get into recovery mode though.

cant post url now, google keywords "How To Root Your Magic/Sapphire – GoldCard Method"

Read the post carefully (on the Hero thread)

Only flash recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img if you have a 32A Sapphire with 6.35.x.x radio and 1.76.x SPL, recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img will NOT boot! I'll create a new Sapphire version soon.

Hi.

While booting into Recovery RA v2.3, I am flashing a Radio Package. The screen gets stuck for 30 minutes on 'formatting cache.' I toggled to reboot, and the Radio flashed successfully. The thing is I don't know how long to wait till I reboot, and I don't like the uncertainty, especially while flashing a Radio. This is happening whenever I flash a ROM.

I'm sure this has been covered, but there are many pages. I'm coming from CMR, so maybe I have to clear something out? Any help is appreciated.

the second I can not try as I do not have custom recovery at all.

the third method isn't working eighter. now that I figured out what the terminal application was and downloaded, granted superuser, then write "flash_image ..." it says it didn't found the img altough it is on the SD card. am I missing something?

Thanks for replying, I know this is an old thread and device.

Running "adb reboot bootloader" through terminal gives me "adb: permission denied", if i do su first, it gives me "adb: not found"

Otherwise, through the adbToggle application itself, reboot into Bootloader simply reboots the phone.

Through adbToggle, "reboot into Recovery" gives me this white triangle logo and nothing happens;

My about reads;

Version.1.1.30.MB611.T-Mobile.en.US

MB611

Android version 2.2.2

Kernel 2.6.32.9-g40740d1

I forgot which custom ROM I'm running, but I'm uncertain that matters. It was a mod of an official one, probably.

Is running the official RUU an option? Will it risk a brick? Will it stock everything (radio, recovery, OS rom)? Again, I want to return to stock before I send this out.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mark manning:
Your testing my memory hard core but adb commands are done through your computer and command prompt or terminal if your using Linux. If you don't know how to use ADB that's a whole other world.

As far as I remember there is no RUU because it is stock android. There are official Pxxxx.IMG files but those won't help you unless you can get into hboot. Make sure your booting into there right. If you cant get into either recovery or hboot I'm sorry to say it sounds like a brick.
