I'm guessing you do not have root yet? Is your SIM card data accessible?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] koreancanuck:
Am I safe to assume that I will be able to flash the newest recovery image on donut ROMs via terminal then go back to CM 5.0.7 and have no problems?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] deky69:
I really do not know if this phone is rooted or not, since I only got it yesterday and have it unlock so I can use another provider. BTW I have no backup nothing.... I am tired and sleepy all because of this stupid phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] koreancanuck:
Can your SIM card use data though? If it can't, no point trying to sign into a google account.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blissking:
When I try to format my sd card I can't setup the size of the swap partition. At the question are you sure you want to format your sd card press 'HOME' it passes directly to the point of adjusting the size of the ext partition. The rest works fine I just upgraded to 1.7.0G. I have a Vodafone Magic 32B
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] helimech:
It worked great for me.

Using Nand backup I created a new backup of the 5.0.7 that I was using. I then flashed a 1.6 ROM. I skipped registration and went straight to the terminal emulator to flash the new recovery image. (I had to rename the file recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G-cyan.img to not include numbers i.e. recover-cyan.img so i could use the basic emulator that doesn't allow number input with mytouch) Once that was complete i rebooted into recovery and verified that RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G was there. I then immediately used Nand Restore to go back to my 5.0.7 ROM and all is good. I hope this helps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Please post in the correct thread/forum! Your issue isn't related to this recovery at all.

I think that you can't log in because your APN settings are incorrect.

Press MENU when you see the "Touch Android to begin"-screen and set the correct APN settings. You should see a 3G or a H appearing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
You pressed HOME to long, try pressing it very quick.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Phk:
this let's me confused. Where "inside" is the root/non_root flag? How can a nandroid backup make a device rooted?

If that is so, what are the HW/SW similarities required between two phones if I wish to dump my backup to a non-root mobile? Same Radio/SPL?

Sorry for the mental mess xD

Hi! :-)

Out of sheer stupidity I managed to flash the recovery rom from within cyanogen mod 5.0.7, now I can't boot into it anymore. Cyanogen 5.0.7 still boots fine. fastboot doesn't work, as I have a 1.33.0007 (SAPP10000) phone.

What are my options here?

Thanks in advance!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] knny1491:
You shoyld have updated ur spl to an engineerings spl when rooting.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] IGstarr:
i have the same problem =( some guys toald my it work and after i tryd it and it dont work i see the Warning from Amon_RA here

@knny1491 how can i update the spl only over goldcard ??? it dont work for me over GC to update a rom over Hboot

***EDIT***

HAHA now my goldcard works THX for your how to im your sig i forged to format the sd =)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] knny1491:
Its cool man, just how DO you update just the spl via GC?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] IGstarr:
not only the spl its a img from a 32a to flash a new rec menu
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] knny1491:
What rec exactly is with it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] IGstarr:
its a 1.5 vf rom with a Engineering spl and i can use flashrec to flash a recovery menu
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] knny1491:
Ah more than ikely cant be used for my 1.2 so ill prolly kus redo the whole rooting process.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] breezy169:
hey i flashed the recovery image (1.7.0) thru Terminal & i cant get to the recovery screen. (i have a MT3g 32b)

did i do something wrong?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] knny1491:
What rom are you running?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lordxavier:
Im completely ftrustrated with Amon_ra recovery. I have a tmobile mytouch 3g.

Im trying to partition my SD card for apps2SD and its been all but failure at this point. let me detail what I have done and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

I have installed on my phone cyanogen 5.0.7.

I tried to install the recovery img and messed it up once and couldnt get to the recovery console on boot. ok lesson learned. reflashed the phone back. loaded clockwork and I got my recovery console now. i put the ROM back on so the phone is operational.

I have tried to flash the amon_ra recovery image but i think either its the wrong one or im doing it very wrong.

in adb ive tried to do flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img (which i renamed the file to) with multiple versions.

recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0 and recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G. both lock up the phone and wont boot past the initial screen. I really do not know how to get Amon_Ra on this mt3g at this point.

Im really out of options here on how to redo this sdcard since nothing I have tried works including doing it via the adb shell. For some reason parted isnt on the device so Im left with using Amon_ra.

Any help someone could provide would be awesome. If you need more information just ask.

I have tried the following versions and none work: recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G / recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G / recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H / recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G

Im at the point now where I had to actually reload SAPPIMG.nbh to totally reset the phone via fastboot. Im losing a lot of faith in Amon_Ra. It doesnt look like it even works.

My next step is that I am going to try to put an older more compatible version of cyanogen on and try it that way.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Did you read the first post?

It's clearly indicated (in red and in a large font) that CM7.0.5 currently has issues using flash_image. This is not my fault, nor can I do something about it. Please direct your issues on the CM forums.

Like indicated in the first post : use fastboot instead
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Morrolan:
How does one go about flashing 1.7.0 to a MyTouch 1.2? With the current 1.33.0013, I have no access via fastboot. I tried through ADB, but got the error you referred to. Would it be better to stick with 1.6.2?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sheep2045:
I managed to solve my (self-induced) problem. I downloaded the a (presumably vanilla) vodafone SAPPIMG.nbh from here: "xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=580631", then followed this guide: "theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-root-a-donut-phone-android-1-6" using the one-click root method and flashed amon ras latest recovery image via flashrec.apk, then installed the latest cyanogen. Works like a charm now.

PS: I did not create a goldcard but simply used the sdcard that came with my phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lordxavier:
Im not saying it is, thats why i said it was my mistake. What I have a problem with is none of the above listed methods seem to work. I will post more details shortly with some error messages.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
You didn't mention that you've tried the fastboot method to flash the recovery, so I assumed you didn't try it yet...

Just boot your phone into fastboot.

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

Works just fine.

Again, the fact that flash_image doesn't work on CM 5.0.7 in adb or terminal is out of my control... and has nothing to do with my recovery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lordxavier:
Yea I understand that.

The problem I had with fastboot is that adb does not recognize any devices. I have started over and I am going to try it shortly.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
fastboot and adb are 2 different things...

- adb only works in recovery and when your phone is booted, it will not work when your phone is in fastboot mode.

- fastboot only works when your phone is in fastboot mode.

If fastboot doesn't find your phone it's due to incorrect usb driver settings on your machine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lordxavier:
fastboot returns with this:

c:\adb\tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

sending 'recovery' (4528 KB)... FAILED (remote: not allow)

finished. total time: 0.003s

I have the phone back to cyan5.0.7 at this point. I just wanted to post a reply. I am looking through other posts to see if any are related. It looks like I need to update my SPL.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] knny1491:
You are correct sir. Now we just need an eng spl for the mt1.2
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Morrolan:
So, there is no way to fastboot with the current spl. So, what's the best way to get 1.7.0 on my handset?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] breezy169:
ok so this is what i did to flash 1.7.0 im 98.99% sure it'll work for anyone else. i installed "rom manager" from the market and flash theyre recovery image ( there will be a option for that) and then go to the option that says flash Amon Ra 1.7.0 and click it, let it load up.. && BAM you have ittt.

Im not sure if someone mentioned this yet but it worked for me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tajman:
Hey man, just wanted to say this post was very helpful in getting me back on track. I messed up my recovery by doing exactly what I shouldn't (the last post with the BIG RED letters) silly mistake I know. Thanks for the assistance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] knny1491:
Rom manager as stated above is the easiest but flashing it from terminal or adb works as well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Morrolan:
Tried the ROM manager; worked well. ADB and terminal failed under CM 5.0.7.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] knny1491:
I tried rom manager n it failed me lol itc cuz im stuck on t7 though.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] breezy169:
yeah ive heard from some people that rom manager wouldnt flash 1.7.0 on the first try. but if you keep trying it'll work sooner or later.

yea when I need to flash to new rom to test it and I just include a couple of bug fixes from the last one - and the verification takes 30s-60s and I do 10-20 builds in a night thats possibly 20 minutes of time i have wasted

time is not free - and since Im building and signing the rom I know its not corrupt...

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] stellarotic:
I have a (probably stupid) question.

I am running one of your earlier recovery images. Can I just flash this over the preexisting one, or do I need to unroot and then do a fresh install as if I was rooting my phone for the first time.

On a related note: is there any point to upgrade to a newer version? For instance, are there certain ROMs I can't run without this?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TeckniX:
rom is: update-cm-5.0.7-DS-signed.zip

The problem is that ever since the 'bad flash' I can't get into the recovery - which means that with no recovery I can't update to 5.0.8

So I'm pretty much stuck?

Unfortunately (or fortunately) I had to replace my G1 with the Mytouch 3G (3.5mm jack)

My challenge is that the wikis haven't been updated and Im not sure which version/guide to follow...

Cyan's wiki says to use the 3.5mm jack/fender guide using Amon-Ra's G version recovery.. BUT his Mytouch wiki says if my Mytouch shows the 3skateboards in fastboot mode to follow the basic Mytouch guide which uses the H version.

Here are my specs...

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Adamsville MITM:
does the recovery have anything to do with ROM speed? cuz I just upgraded to 1.70 and Super E seems faster than before
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
No, nothing at all ;) It's all in the mind :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
The recovery actually starts a oneshot service in init.rc that erases all the useless bullsh*t copied by filemovers. This is probably why you see a speed increase...

Just kidding... the recovery has nothing to do with ROM speed ;)

Hello Amon RA, thanks for the great work! I've been using your HERO recovery for the 6.x radio on my 32A, but I'm now downgrading to 3.x to try out CM5.0.8.

The first post doesn't explain the difference between the 1.7.0H-cyan.img and the ordinary 1.7.0H.img. Could you give more details about when to use the Cyan version?

Should I install the Cyan version first, then install CM? Or is it the other way round?

Or is it totally unrelated to the CM ROM, and just the original recovery by Cyan?

Cheers,

David
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wjsturgis3:

I believe it is Google branded not HTC eventhow it is saying 32A ?

Which version should I use to root it?

Second question it might be obvious, however not for me. What is the difference between the regular image and the cyan.img ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tnpapadakos:
cyan is just the cyan-colored version, everything else is the same

i read that the mt3g 1.2 is a 32a hardware (more ram, motherboard difference) but uses the 32b radio....search the thread, i know you'll find that quote, i think it was from amonra
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wjsturgis3:
I believe the radio is the determining factor. A 3.22... radio, use the H(TC) recovery, 2.22... radio use the G(oogle) version.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] knny1491:
That isnt it the deciding factor is what it sas in your fastboot ex: ship s o g you use the g version, s on h you use the h version. The radio number is a difference between 32a and 32b devices.
