[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] obliquefx:
Yes I was asking you lol, don't worry I am not going to be a jerk like some people in the forums can be. I am just trying to figure out what your problem is.

I wrote a whole bunch of stuff and just deleted it, lol it was getting too complicated. To make a long story short I had some recovery problems but this fixed it:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/961-recoveryfixed-unable-to-reboot-to-recovery/page__st__60__p__21996#entry21996

I used the script from the file:

FR-flashRec-v03.txt

and renamed my recovery image to recovery.img

Those two files were the ONLY two files on my sd at the time when did this and it worked out perfectly. Good luck.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dancer2:
obliquefx, thaks a lot for your answer and for trying to help. :)

I will try this as soon as I can and tell you if it worked.

Thanks! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dancer2:
obliquefx, just wanted to inform you that I can not test the solution with script, because I borrowed my Magic to a friend that bricked his to help him find a way to bring back to life his phone.

I will try it as soon as I can, but I was only wondering while I was reading that forum, is it only for phones with CM ROM or every ROM and without possibility to enter recovery at all. About that I'm not completely sure, and the script completely deletes old recovery, so, to be honest, I'm a little afraid to do that since if that method fails, I will be left without recovery at all.

But, anyway, I will try it and let you know.

Thanks again! ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] obliquefx:
Ah I see.

The first page of that forum posting that I gave you a link to reads as follows:

I would say that you would fall in Scenario B's case, but if you really want to be sure I would probably just get an account on cyanogenmod site and directly message firerat OR reply to the posting and hopefully someone can help you. Just make sure you post all the information you have though so that they understand what the issue is.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dancer2:
I just thought that you maybe already know something about that.

I don't know what better I can tell you than BIG THANK YOU!!!!

I will join that forum and ask question with all details what I did.

THANKS AGAIN!

Again, here's my setup:

Sapphire PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)

CPLD-13

RADIO-2.22.23.02

I tried the Terminal way. I downloaded a terminal app from the Market, made sure the .img was in the root of the sdcard, I typed out the command exactly as shown, and I hit 'enter' on the keyboard (actually it says 'execute') and the terminal app just did nothing - the cursor just skipped to the next line.

One thing: when I start the Terminal app, the first line always shows this:

$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

$

...so when I type there is a '$' in front of anything I type - could that be a problem?

I'd really appreciate any help/input.. :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
$ means you're in a non-rooted terminal, this is the default after starting a terminal

# will be shown if you're in rooted terminal mode

The latter should be shown after typing su <enter>

Hi there,

I am stuck in the repeative Google Activation screen on my TMobile MyTouch3G. Add to that it seems that I can't get data on my Wind Mobile SIM.

My question is: is it possible to root the phone in this state? I haven't made a goldcard or backed up my phone?

Probably dumb questions, but I have start somewhere in my rooting education.

new OTA question

I was wondering which recovery will work for the MT3G 1.0 after the SPL/radio/boot OTA update. I tried clockwork recovery and it failed, so my guess is the mem map was reconfigured. Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] StreetGuru:
Hi Amon_RA, hope you can help us out here.

I've recently installed the T-mobile OTA 2.2.1 on my Magic 32B. As you probably aware it also flashes a new SPL and radio. Though the ROM works great and I've managed to root it without incident (SuperOneClick method) I'm yet to find a way to have your custom recovery stick on recovery boot. I have managed to flash 1.7 recovery ok and boot into it but everytime i reboot and reboot again into recovery it just reverts back to stock. quite annoying and i'm failing to understand why this is.

To install and boot into your recovery I've copied recovery to the root of the sdcard, then copied flash_image to both:

/data/local/tmp

(my first method, using:

cd /data/local/tmp

chmod 777 ./flash_image

./flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img)

as well as to:

/system/bin

(second method, using:

cd /system/bin

./flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img)

Afterwards I've also tried flashing through terminal (#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img) as well as through adb from inside your recovery.

Altough all of this have worked well - when i do reboot recovery it does boot into your custom recovery - if i reboot and then reboot again into recovery it reverts to the stock recovery v.3

Any ideas or suggestions on how to make the recovery stick in the system? Also, and i still haven't gone there yet, but what do you think it will be the best method to flash an eng. SPL and corresponding radio with the current settings? I'm thinking that it would probably be the same method as for the myTouch 1.2 (as it uses the same SPL) with the goldcard method but I'm not entirely sure. Suffice to say that fastboot commands are no go - "permissions denied".

Any help greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

EDIT: Got ezterry's help here and custom recovery sticks in the system once removed /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

would still appreciate your input on how to flash eng. SPL and corresponding radio back to the device. Reckon it is possible to do it via custom recovery but would prefer to be sure before attempting it. I used to do both at the same time via fastboot but not possible with the current hboot.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Don't mount manually when you use the menu to wipe...

Or you use the menu to do stuff, or you do everything manually via adb, but don't mix both, this can give mount issues.

I did the following and it works just fine :

1. Unplug charger/usb cable

2. boot in recovery mode

3. select wipe, select wipe Dalvik-cache, and wait for it to finish

4. plug usb cable

5. adb shell

6. cd /data

7. ls => Notice that the whole dalvik-cache directory is erased

8. cd /cache

9. ls => Notice that the whole dalvik-cache directory is erased

Conclusion : wipe cache works fine
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] FernandoMiguel:
sorry Bart, but not true.

/data is not mounted so there is nothing to see there. ofc that would show as clean.

If you mount /data and then cd to it, i'm almost sure you will see still data in /data/dalvik-cache

i'll have to reboot and test dough.

Recovery lost when I reboot

Hi,

I have a HTC Magic 32A. I managed to get the recovery image installed (recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2).

I reboot in the recovery mode to make a nandroid backup. No problem here.

But, I rebooted and restarted my stock Rogers Android 2.1. After that, I can't boot in the recovery mode anymore! It seems that it lost the recovery image.

Is that normal ?

Hi

currently I have a real Problem. I tried to update my Amon RA recovery with the most recent one from this post first page with the fastboot method.

All worked fine, rebooted. Now, if I try to boot to the recovery mode, phone hangs on startup screen, never comes to the recovery.

If I start the phone normal, cyanogenmod 6.1 starts fine.

Any Idea, how I could solve this Issue? I am on a 32b Magic.

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase system

This restored the phone back to the original Rogers ROM but only lasted a couple days. Then this crashed and stuck on the ROGERS screen loop.
