Got the same rogers here... any advantages over daldroid's rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Killadude:
so i f i use this can i md it to run superhero v2 on the rogers magic?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mack:
EDIT from my post above. So the before i just did fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.0H.img and it booted to the recovery. thats fine.

then i tried to flash it using adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RAv1.0H.img (after pusing the recovery image to my sd card)

but i get Permission denied.

^ is it because we dont have root?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
I think its because the stock spl has signiture checking on. Change the spl though and...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mack:
possibly. I'm no expert but what i can say is my rogers magic is different from my friends. I have S-OFF (signature off? maybe) while he has S-ON. I have CPLD-11 while he has CPLD-12.

I am afraid to flash my SPL to 2005 though.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
Odd...I had no problem flashing the 2005 spl...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Try this :

1. Boot the device in fastboot mode.

2. Connect the device to your machine over USB.

3. $fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.0H.img

Wait for a minute or two..

$adb shell mount -a

Ignore the failed mounts...

$adb push recovery-RAv1.0H.img /system/recovery.img

$adb push recovery-RAv1.0H.img /sd-card/recovery-RAv1.0H.img

$adb shell flash_image recovery /sd-card/recovery-RAv1.0H.img

4. Reboot

If it doesn't work you might need to flash your SPL :

- 32A board : apply this update from your sd-card after fast booting with this recovery.

- 32B board : apply this update from your sd-card after fast booting with this recovery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mack:
thanks, so i just tried that. successful until the last one. it gives me /sbin/sh: flash_image: not found.

However I did get /sbin/sh: -c requires an argument when i did adb shell -a

I will try to flash SPL 2005 now. can i just fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.0H.img then apply update.zip from there?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
For those who need root on their Rogers Magic :

I quickly enabled root and added busybox to the Rogers Magic boot image:

1. Copy this update to your SD-card.

2. Boot the device in fastboot mode.

3. Connect the device to your machine over USB.

4. $fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.0H.img

wait a few minutes and unplug your device from USB

5. Choose option "Apply sdcard:update.zip" from the menu

Enjoy :D

Did your Ion come with the green HTC logo and a trackball-accessible menu?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cenedra:
Hi everyone,

Just a quick question regarding the nandroid backup. May i know what information does it back up?

Is it the apps and user settings/google accounts, or is the backup a full backup with roms and everything that the phone is current having?

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rajeevsudra:
It makes an image of the phones state at that time, settings, wallpapers, phonelog, apps, ROM, etc. When restored, even when flashed to another rom, it will put it back exactly(I haven't been able to find a difference) the way it was at the time the backup was made.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dk_iceman:
hey I have a question...

If i use this recovery img can i then take my nandroid backup directly from recovery menu and go back to the original rom wich is my nandroid backup ???

or do i still have to Flash a new SPL to go back to my original rom from nandroid backup ??

hope anyone can help
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Are you sure you have enough space left?

Please do a "adb shell df" and provide us with the output.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Yes

Nandroid doesn't backup the SPL... so you will not be able to restore your original SPL.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Full backup : recovery, boot, system, userdata, splash1
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dk_iceman:
i do know it dosent backup my SPL... what i meant was do I still need a Nother SPL than my original SPL too restore my original Nandroid backup or does this new recovery IMG cover it all ???
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MontAlbert:
some do and some dont'. I know of some people who have had to but i haven't had to and i do a nandroid restore all the time (always trying new things)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bjareboy:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] stevetigersix:
apologies for the n00by question but how do you go from the old 1.1.2 recovery img to the new and improved version, its been a while since ive 'played' with the phone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] trincisor:
Thanks a lot for the fantastic recovery

i had a few doubts

1. is it safe to just flash it thru fastoot using

fastboot flash recovery *your_recovery.img*

2. # Partition your SD directly from the menu! (500MB Ext2, 32MB Swap, remaining Fat32) *NEW

can you explain what the above means ?

3. the last option move apps and dalvik cache to SD is not working, could you pls explain what this is and how to get this working

Edit/Delete Message
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Ok... try installing a terminal app on your mobile and check it that way.

I'm actually 100% you really ran out of SYSTEM space, remove some things you don't need from system to free some space...

If you're using my rom you actually don't need to write it to system, just put the recovery image in data and reboot, it will automatically flash the recovery and remove the image file.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
1. Yes, why would it be "unsafe"?

2. This will create an 500MB ext2 partition, a 32MD swap partition and the remaining space on your SD will be a fat32 partition. Only do this if you are using a ROM that supports apps2sd, etc...

3. This option only works if you have an ext2 partition AND a ROM that supports apps2sd.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] stevetigersix:
Amon

to replace the older recovery img think its 1.1.2G i have from you can i just transfer the 1.2 img to my sd and reboot?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xxgg:
When will you support app2sd on your ROM?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
It all depends on the ROM you are currently using...

Please check the last lines of your init.rc!

Stock ROMs will have something like this in their init.rc :

service flash_recovery /system/bin/flash_image recovery /system/recovery.img
oneshot

This means that your ROM will search for a recovery.img inside the system directory and flash it at boot.

Other custom ROMs will have something like this in their init.rc :

service flash_recovery /system/bin/flash_image -d recovery /data/recovery.img
oneshot

This means that your ROM will search for a recovery.img inside the data directory and flash it at boot.

Some custom ROMs don't have this line at all, this means that you have to flash your recovery using fastboot or flash_image yourself.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
I don't think I'll implement it.

Could you please tell me which steps you took?

Did you choose "Apply sdcard:update.zip" or did you choose "Apply sdcard:choose zip" ?

Boot into recovery, wait a minute or 2 so your SDcard can mount and choose update package.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bjareboy:
Ok, I'll try with terminal...

What kind of files can I delete from system?...and how? I checked the system folder with ASTO file manager, but didn't see any "useless" files to delete..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Maybe it's better to start a thread in the General section... your question isn't related to this recovery nor to development.

Why i don't can't restore any nandroid backup?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
I can't reproduce this error, I tried all kinds of roms and it works fine for me... :confused:

- What kind of Magic do you have? 32A or 32B?

- Which recovery are you using? The G or H version?

- Do you have this problem for all update packages or just this one?

- Could you give me a link to the update you are having this issue with?

- Did you flash the recovery or are you running it via fastboot?

- Are you using apps2sd?

- Did you partition your sd?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
What is the exact error you are getting?

Did you make the nandroid backup with the older version?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hobbit19:
Ok, I now I see, that after wait 2 minutes all ok,

but early I can do this just after boot to recovery! (Step: "Apply sdcard:update.zip" on an empty (except this file sdcard))

And even after I wait 2 minutes I must press buttons several times
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bjareboy:
:) Ok, if I can't fix it soon I'll start another thread, but the problem started when I tried flashing this Recovery..

Anyway, here's what the adb shell tells me.

If someone can tell me how to free up space and what do delete in this System folder I'm done.. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
The new recovery is about 1.2Mb bigger in size compared to the previous one... explains why it was working previously. You don't have enough space left.

Which ROM are you now using? Try to delete /system/recovery.img to free up some space.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bjareboy:
I'm currently on the HoFo ROM..

Is it normal that the system folder is tight on space?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NguyenHuu:
assuming we do have a ext2 partition and a rom that supports apps2sd, will running the command in your recovery automatically move future app downloads to the sd? meaning is this a one time script that will work from now on? or must we always run it for every app we download to move it over.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roy Jovero:
I'm new to the whole nandroid thing, sol I just wanted to know that if I had 2 different nandroid backups (one Ion, one Hero), would I be able to choose which one I want to restore?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MontAlbert:
thru fastboot you can- easy way to do it is to keep all nandroids you want on your pc and a most recent one on your sd. When you want to restore a certain nandroid that isnt the most recent stick that one on the sd card instead of the most recent and then do a "most recent nandroid restore" and it will restore that one, as it is the most recent one on the card.....

-i have 32b and i am using G version

-all recovery till now worked fine

-i have flashed the recovery using fastbot

-i have the same error with all updates

-yes i have apps2sd and i have manualy partitioned my sd card with 3 partitions (i will try and repartition from recovery)

thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Radix999:
If you have a 32B then you should be using the G version.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Unimaginative:
First I'd like to thank Amon for your recovery image. If it wasn't for it I'd still be stuck with a stock ROM.

I thought I'd ask everyone to weigh in on a bit of an issue I'm having; when I follow your steps for ROMs other than Amon's I am able to perform everything without issue until the last step (flash_image recovery). When attempting to do this I get the response 'header is the same, not flashing recovery'. I took this to mean that it's already done but when I try to boot in recovery mode with Power+Home I just get stuck at the Vodafone splash ad infinitum, so I'm assuming it is isn't installed correctly.

I'm using a 32B with the .2004 SPL. Anyone have any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Try the following :

Boot your device normally and connect it via USB to your computer

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/recovery.img

Fastboot your device and connect it via USB to your computer

fastboot erase recovery

Forgive me if this is answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find it

Using your recovery image (1.2.0G) on MT3G, Whenever I do attempt to do a nandroid backup, when I reboot after the backup completes, the devices hangs indefinitely at the boot screen. logcat just says waiting for device.

I am also unable to restore the backup after I can no longer boot the device.

Ultimately this results in me having to wipe the device and reflash my ROM.

Just wondering if this is a known issue, something I am doing wrong, or something else.
