The version of the recovery that you should use depends on the version of the radio that you have. I do not know why your phone is showing H - it could be because of the SPL but it doesn't matter.

Since that radio is a 32B radio go with the G recovery :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] OnlyOneBDS:
ok cool because i thought that i did something wrong here. now i have another question concerning this. after flashing my first rom (MLIGN v3.3), i can use any other rom out there. when i try to flash a new rom and reboot, it get's stuck the myTouch green screen.

of course i did the wipe of everything...i even repartition my sdcard and nothing!! wth!?!?!?

Anyone have comments or similar situation...

Concerned that if I root and install RA recovery rom, that I will loss the additional memory
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] voxluna:
We're talking about the white phone, right? That sure sounds like a Fender/LE/1.2 version of MyTouch. Does it have a headset jack on the top?

The recovery image should not affect your memory.

But, if it is a Fender inside, you'll need a specific ROM for it to work at all. For example, the touchscreen is broken in G1/MT3G ROMs. You'll probably need to root using the goldcard method, too.

Don't hold me to this, but I have read that the Fender is a hybrid of 32A and 32B... hence all our problems. Because of that, I suppose it's possible your boot screen could show 32B instead.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jhales:
It is the white myTouch and it does not have a headphone jack; this is pre Fender/LE/1.2.

I went for it anyway and installed RA-sapphire-v1.6.2 and Cyanogen's latest ROM. All is good; or seems to be...after installof everything less market apps, I had 292MBs available.

Only issue with the latest is ROM, is that I am missing trackball LED notifications - which was available in the last T-Mobile 1.6 release and configurable via setting->Sound and Display (it is no longer there)...so off to research that...

Thanks,

Jeff

If I were on the ball, I would have asked you to capture the "About Phone" screen so we would know more about it. But I'm glad you were able to install the normal CM build.

Hmm, I don't recall ever having that to begin with. I'll have to check my stock phone, because I don't have it in gsxR either.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hedcayce:
Don't mean to sidetrack the thread, but I've got the opposite situation. I've got a 32A that's only got 192MB. Is it possible something got screwed up software wise from the guy I got it from or did I just get a lemon?

Hi, I have a Rogers Magic, old radio, AmonRA Saphhire recovery 1.6.2H, and just went to CM 5.0.7 with Bcrook's port.

Anybody having trouble with Nandroid after the update? Mine keeps quitting part way through. I finally got it to "finish", or appear to be finish after I wiped the dalvik cache and fixed uid mismatches, but it made a nandroid backup that was equal in size to the empty space on my SD card. Basically it made a 2.7GB backup that filled the card. I imagine it didn't actually finish the backup, but had an internal error and just kept writing to the card till it was full.

I also had a lot of problems flashing the black bar updated from Cloverdale. Kept giving errors until I cleared the dalvik and fixed uid mismatches. Then it flashed and it works now.

Everything in CM5.0.7 works perfect. Just odd that it would affect recovery somehow?

Stuck at <waiting for device>

Sorry if this issue has already been addressed in the thread (it's getting pretty long!!).

I'm trying to flash the Amon recovery image on my way to my first Cyanogen ROM install.

I am using a Vodafone HTC Magic (32B, Australian version, Firmware 1.6, Build number DRC92).

I have tried using the fastboot method, both on Ubuntu 10.04 and Win XP, and running "adb devices" on both OS's lists my device serial number.

Unfortunately, when I boot into fastboot (back + power), I get to the fastboot menu (ie with fastboot USB in red). While connected via USB I run:

zeedok@zeedok-laptop:~$ fastboot boot /home/zeedok/Desktop/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img

at the command line (Ubuntu) and nothing happens. I have pressed the back button and held the back button (as well as pressing everything else, rebooting the phone, rebooting the computer and everything else I can think of) and the phone stays on the fastboot menu and the terminal keeps:

<waiting for device>

Am I missing something? What can I do to get progressing? I'm keen to get a Cyanogen ROM (as safely as possible) running.

Thanks for any advice.

EDIT -- Might have been a rookie mistake, but running the fastboot command with the full path and sudo fixed everything up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pintspin:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ch4dr0x:
Ran into a little bit of an issue and hope someone can lend a hand. I tried everything listed on the first page to get this to install and nothing would work. Finally I went into the phone and booted up the terminal app and tried to go that route. It appeared to start to work but all of a sudden I got Not Enough Memory errors. I can now no longer boot into recovery. Any ideas how I can get recovery back on? I tried going the fastboot route, I been out of the rooting game for awhile but I was sure I had used the engineering SPL before. Apparently not because it keeps telling me: "error: cannot load 'recovery.img'

I'm also using 5.0.7-test2 if that makes a difference at all. I tried the first method listed on the first page but I didn't see a "data" section on my SDcard so I created one. Don't believe that did anything for me.

EDIT: Some how, some way, I finally got the recovery installed. phew, got worried I had become too rusty for a second.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Gazorninplat:
By the way, for those using 1.6.2H recovery with CM5.0.7, nandroid+ext backup works perfectly if you created the 'sd' folder under system. It restores fine as well. I just tested it by wiping and going to a mytouch slide ROM and then restoring back to CM5.

Oh crap!

I must have done something wrong. This was my first time so forgive me for being a noob. I installed this rom and now my mytouch is stuck on the green boot screen. Did I screw it up for good or can I go back to the 1.6 I had before? If it's not bricked I think I'm to freaked out to try to push on. So is there any way to restore it to official 1.6? Thanks for all your help in advance.

Re: [Recovery] [32A & 32B] [07-Mar-2010] RA-sapphire-v1.6.2

put the recovery.img in the tools section of your sdk folder, boot your phone into fastboot mode and type in these commands in a commands prompt with your phone plugged into the usb port.

cd\

cd\AndroidSdk\tools

fastboot devices(it should show your phones serial number)

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img(or whatever the recovery is named, id rename it to make it easier)

Where do you see the above phone informations when you have a recovery image installed? I think that boot with "back" pressed will get you in the recovery image. (Or i'm missing something).

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Please read the first post again...

1. This recovery is NOT yet fully compatible with the new apps2sd method! (as implemented in CM5.0.7)

2. Provide the recovery log if you want to be helped.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dasunsrule32:
It works fine on w/o backing up ext because it is not looking for the ext partition. Since the ext mount point has changed from /system/sd -> /sd-ext/ and you have the patience, you can do a one-time edit of /etc/fstab and have it point to the new mountpoint, create the mount point -- /sd-ext, do a mount -a and then edit the nandroid-backup.sh script to look there for the ext partition. It works, just remember, you will have to do this everytime, for a restore/backup each time you reboot.

EDIT: I have found an easier way to back up the ext partition. Boot into the recovery console and then do the following:

mount /system && mkdir -p /system/sd

This will work after every reboot. So until a newer version of the amon_ra recovery rom is released, this will work. :-p

any suggestions on how to get it working in terminal?

before I tried the terminal method, I tried just putting the recovery.img in /data and rebooting, but that didn't work either.

I'm currently on Cyanogen's recovery and on his v5.0.7-Test3 ROM. the file i downloaded was sapphire-RA-v1.6.2G.img for my original mt3g.

I also just tried using flashrec and typed in /sdcard/recovery.img and pressed the "flash custom recovery image" button, but got a "Flash FAILED" message.

Updated to v1.7.0

Change-log :

v1.7.0

- Fixed some minor bugs
- Recovery and scripts use /sd-ext instead of /system/sd as mountpoint to support the new apps2sd method (implemented mostly by Chris Soyars)
- Added an option to backup/restore Google proprietary Android system files (backuptool.sh written by Cyanogen)
- Removed "move apps2sd"-option as it's not needed anymore with the new apps2sd method
- Updated BART to v1.3.1 (updated by Dumfuq to support /sd-ext)
- Added a wipe cache only option
- Nandroid now backups/restores /cache again by default
- Dalvik-cache wipes /cache/dalvik-cache now
- Removed SDCARD: prefix in output when chosing zip to flash
- Added Cyan version (There's no difference with the normal version, only the wallpaper and textcolor changed)
