I'm sorry it's been a while since I've rooted my phone (actuallly the last time I rooted was for my g1) I was honestly to lazy to use the goldcard method but today I finally tried Cyanogen's rom but I was in such a hurry to just get his rom that I didn't partition my sd card, can I just go back into recovery mode and partition my sd card without reverting back to the 1.5 and rooting all over again. I'm sorry if it's been answered before.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] psguardian:
1st off the arguments against you are generally going to go like this : why use apps2sd ?! onboard mem is faster then the best SDcard your phone can handle... & LinuxSwap just defeats Androids normal memory management system...

2nd the arguments for formatting, having apps2sd is nice because you can wipe EVERYTHING but the ext partition & flash the base ROM+CM ROM and not have to reinstall all your apps... LinuxSwap doesn't really defeat Androids normal memory management system, it just delays the implementation of this system...

Now that you're up & running on the latest CM you should be able to format your SDcard & move on happy with life.just make sure you backup anything needed to your PC first *cough* NANDROID FOLDER *cough* (decide if you want to try out linux swap explained here or not so you can include this partition NOW if you decide yes)

Reboot into recovery (Amon Ra right?)

goto -> Partition SDcard ->Partition SD -> follow the onscreen steps for size of each partition ext/swap/fat32 (0mb=don't make this partition),

once partitioned upgrade SD:ext2 to ext3 (if you have class 6 go for ext3 to ext4).

Back out to main recovery menu & goto -> Other -> Move apps+dalv to SD, once that is finished

select ->fix apk uid mismatches (a.k.a. fix_permissions).

Hope this works for you :D

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mich11128:
Thanks psguardian, I was a little unsure about whether making the partitions was essential or not to use this rom but you cleared it up for me. :) I appreciate the help.

Hey. Thanks for this thread. I have been looking for a thread with VALID links all day! (just received my Magic today!) However I have one problem. When I am installing the Sapphire.img 1.5 onto my 1.6 device, i get an error in the update saying 'id is incorrect' or something like that.

Any fix?

thanks

UPDATE: I tried again and the error is 'Model ID incorrect'
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] iWannaBeAdored:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] psguardian:
1st off : Congrats (I have an MT3G also) welcome to Android! (you can update your sig after this works for you lol)

Thats a bit odd that you get this error. Someone a page or three back had same issue I think,

*searches own thread for 'Model ID incorrect'*

Yep Yep I knew I read it someplace before! Someone posted their 'how-to' in full in my how-to thread :eek: its really very good & should be it's own thread. Click Here to view his post.

I hope that gets you up & running.

EDIT: DOH! just saw your next post as this one saved... ok i'll think on it some more then, off to do some dishes before the wife gets home lol.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] iWannaBeAdored:
thanks psguardian. I really wanna root my device. that is why i bought the Magic as I read it was easy to to root and put ROMs onto. But so far it has been a complete wreck. I've been looking around for a good 6 hours, yet, nothing works. 2 methods that i could do didn't work (as i posted a few posts back).

ughhhhhhhh. :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] psguardian:

Thanks a lot psguardian.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] psguardian:
Do you mean the 'sapphire.img' that I refer to in these lines?

The SAPPIMG.nbh is the 'sapphire.img' I was referring to.

i was aslo misleaded by the setup... and flashed the sappimg.nbh to my 32A htc magic.... now I have a MT3G with 32B and perfected spl and radio.....

after I followed through installing the CM 4.2.13 rom ( don't need the 32A kernels anymore, because it thinks is a 32B)

and the difference is night and day..... i used have 100+ mb ram with 32A... now 30mb on a 32B !????

can someone tell me what i can do to converted my device back to a 32A?

i have tried Amon_RA's ""Take me back to my 32A radio""" http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=544761

but it wont work, because I m on a perfected spl right now....

and do i have to use a goldcard to change the perfected spl??

:mad::mad::mad::mad:

P.S i think this is a well written [how to] but please indicate that this really is just for 32B only.....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] psguardian:
I was not aware of the base.img diff, I am sorry your phone thinks its a 32b. I will gladly add the proper info to my OP for 32A setup. I will also look for a solution to getting you back on 32A & needing CMs kernal port for them.

~psguardian
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ojar:
:):):):):):):)

all good now...

i went through with the gold card method and just flashed a new base img with a engl spl (ROM v2.53.707.2)... now is back to being a good old 32A.

after spending an extra 20 on the 2gb card, i finally got the cm 4.2.13 (with port)...

is a really good rom... makes me feel better after what i went through..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] psguardian:
I'm glad you were able to get the proper firmware back onto your phone & regain access to your FULL amount of RAM... Seems that the GoldCard is still some peoples only option (i.e. some UK 32B models & some 32A models that didn't like cyanogen mod wiki method) I will update the OP in the next day or so with a link to cyans 32A page & a GoldCard walk through as fail safes for those who can't use my standard instructions (due to phone stubbornness)

So I want to flash my MyTouch 3G to the latest CM ROM but I don't know what to grab from that page? So many files...no descriptions...nightmare...

I am guessing that these (update-cm-4.2.14.1-signed.zip, update-cm-4.2.14.1-signed.zip.md5sum) are what I need? The md5sum is for verifying that the download is good, correct?

Also, coming from the Dash I am used to have to flash over and over again for updated versions of a ROM... Is that not the case anymore with the Android phones? Or am I a bit off when I think of what the CM updater is?

Hey cats, I normally keep pretty ontop of my thread but there is a 4x4 project taking up room in the garage & wifey wants it to be a priority (she wants her space back lol) so I have been a bit less active on XDA lately, I linked his main FTP page because he does drop updates rather regularly & I got tired of updating EVERYTHING after he does lol. I do still need to update my OP (I have WED off so I'm thinking then) with the current stats & things though :o. yes the md5sum is just to verify no corrupted file issues. Android is pretty much a plug-n-play (yes bad pun) deal... flash the defanged base img -> flash latest CM -> sign into Google -> ride off into the sunset. or once you're up & running & have CM updater installed, make a nandroid(in-case of bad download) & hit update.

~psguardian
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] l0lcats:
OK. Cool. Thanks for getting back to me on that. I hear talk of "making a nandriod..." I don't know how that is done though. UPS seems incapable of delivering anything to my house before 1PM in the afternoon so, sadly, I had to leave for work before my phone arrived...

Thank you for your detailed instruction!

I've successfully installed Cyanogen Rom on my UK Vodafone Magic 32B with 1.6 Rom.

My first attemp was fail (it stuck at splash screen) because I didn't partition the SD card. Once I formatted the sd card with swap and ext 3 partition, it went through smoothly after re-flashing the 1.6 base image & CM4.2.14.1 Rom.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] phantommusik:
I just got that same issue when I received my warranty replacement a few weeks ago. I ended up with a 32B S-ON H with the 1.33.0007 SPL when I powered it up into fastboot the first time.

Sadly the only method I've found that worked was the Unlockr's gold card method found here. It seems fairly complicated (at least to me... but then again I'm a little bit of a noob.) but if you follow those instructions to the letter it works great. I did make a gold card out of a sandisk 1GB card for that process.

BTW... can we sticky this one? This is by far the best organized thread I've seen for this process on here!

This may be the appropriate place for this question ....hello, i put a program on this axim x51v pda and it shrinks up to the upper left corner. is there any ideas how to solve this. i thought it might be screen resolution issues. i used the vgafix program from here and it only halved the screen. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

sincerely,

kunji
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jclampy:
Use programs compatible with VGA only.

That is not the X51v's fault. That is the fault of the program you tried to run. Can you not get a version that is made for 640x480 or 480x640 resolution (VGA)? The only other thing you could try would be SKTools 'VGA Brute Force' on the programs .exe file. Good luck! ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Kunji:
ya i realize that but....

just wondering if there was something i can do. the program listed axim x51 as compatible. what i didn't realize is that the little "v" at the end made that much of a difference. anyhow any other suggestion would be great. thank you
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Kunji:

i just wanted to add that i want to lower the pda resolution (to QVGA (240x320)) and not raise it. hope that helps.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Kunji:
AnyOne?

anyone have any ideas. thank you
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jclampy:
Hasn't been done and can't be done AFAIK. Instead of going from 192dpi to 96dpi for MS VGA to True(Real) VGA you would have to make the device go the other way to 320x240 by increasing dpi. You would have to increase to 384dpi. If you find a way to do that then you would get major props! :rolleyes:

Cheers.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiklasK:
So all my physical keys on my xperia x1 including the Volume button, the ok button, the X panel button, the pick up call button, the end call button, the two silver buttons all don't work. None of the keys on my keyboard work either.

I've been trying to hard reset but every method I've found includes holding down the volume button (which doesnt work since that button is unresponsive). I've tried the 2 silver button method along with the poking the stylus in the hard reset hole in the back of the phone but that doesnt work either since the silver buttons are unresponsive.

So now I'm looking for the Clear_Storage thing I've been reading about but I can't find it so could someone please supply me with the directory I could find it in or any other solution you can think of to help me hard reset my phone so I can flash a new ROM.

BTW I've used Hard-SPL to flash roms before, it's just this last ROM from itje got all screwy and made the buttons stop working.

Thanks, Nik
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harveydent:

Sometimes Itje takes it out of his ROMs, though. You can try reflashing by pc method if it's not there.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiklasK:
Yea I've checked and it's not in there, how would you do it by pc?

Is it that ruu executable that you run while it's synced? For some reason

that never actually worked with my comp which is why I always resorted to the SD Card Flash method, but I can't get into the Hard-SPL loader now cause of the button problem.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tictac0566:
Next to malfunctioning buttons, is the phone starting up?

What happens, if you plug a USB cable in? If you can select ActiveSync mode, then you could easily try to re-flash another ROM image - maybe the one you have been using was corruptly downloaded or something.

Or, if you get too much of strange behaviour like this, try a stock ROM first, then another custom ROM.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiklasK:
It boots up and works fine as long as I stick to using the touch screen and I can USB ActiveSync it too. I know some of the older ROMs used to have an exe you could run while in ActiveSync and it would auto install but most of the new ROMs assume you're using the SD Card Method so I can't find the PC Installer app.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssndip:
you need to use drivers for vista (x86/x64) on win 7 to recognice your device , the rest of setup is the same for every windows ..

1. Download SDk

2. Unpack it to a folder you choose for example C:/Program Files/SDK/

3. Add "PATH" to system variables - right click "My computer" > properties > advanced system settings> at the bottom "Enviroment Variables" > and at System variables scroll down to "PATH" and edit. at the and of the line add the path to your SDK/tools.

in my example: c:/program files/SDK/tools/

This is it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElAguila:
If it doesn't recognize the hero, you might have to install the adb drivers manually. That happened with me on Win 7 x64. I just went to the device manager and manually installed the driver. After that all was working.
