2.0 just annouched, now lets wait till htc dev site is updated and we go 2.0 with this same trick:)

Hello

Thanks for this update

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thelastgoodbrother:
Kinda weird question. I actually have a Google Ion. Being new to all this flashing and stuff, I have flashed multiple roms over the past few months and never made a backup of the original. If I wanted to return the Ion to its original state would I just rename this recovery to "update.zip" and that would be it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Xenn0X:
yes, that all to it with the ion. download the latest recovery from http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html#s3

and flash the Recovery Image: signed-google_ion-ota-14721.zip

wich is the 1.6 donut firmware
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lparker.uk:
Im not sure if im still having issues after this, The phone seemed to not get past formatting cache? Am i right in thinking i got the restart using Home and Back and then reboots back into recovery and continues install? As mine didnt?

Tried again and seems to get to formatting CACHE:...

And stop? I still get the vodafone splash screen if i restart?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
Only if you change the build.prop to gain root over it. I just wanted to get back to official and clean Android 1.6. As soon they release 2.0, we should be getting the update OTA :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
Hum... in my case it asked to be rebooted. Let it run until it finishes!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lparker.uk:
Hmm i waited best part of half and hour?! Seems to work fine.. (Ish) the install never totally finishes. Has this removed the Vodafone splash screen on bootup for you?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
Everything is working fine on mine. There is no reason for your messages not be working, since the Google ION is a 32B device! Check if you only have one partition on your sdcard.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
No, to remove the crappy vodafone splash, you actually need to flash a new splash screen:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
Look at the first post to get the Google ION developers splash screen :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Xenn0X:

the google ion rom works perfectly here. thnx for the guide to turn my vodafone magic into a htc developer ion:)

like the clean dev roms. cannot wait till 2.0 is online:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lparker.uk:
Thanks very much for your info and efforts ill have another go! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Quistnix:
I've got a 32B voda/google device, and Amon's recovery 1.2.3 is running without any trouble.

I followed the following steps:

> formatted my SD

> renamed signed-google_ion-ota-14721.zip to update.zip and put it on the SD

> put the SD in my phone

> booted to recovery

> wiped

> applied update.zip

> it asked me to reboot, I did so

> installation continued, then switched to boot screen (says "hTC MAGIC").

It's been on the boot screen for about an hour. Did I screw up somewhere along the way or should I wait some more?

Edit: I guess I'm really screwed right now. After waiting for a bit longer my battery died (guess the process eats battery like it's cake). Now, after putting my phone on the charger, all I get is the boot screen. Doing this won't help either.

Looking for this rom/recovery image since this morning, and still not found it.

Could any reupload it from a lucky copy on its hard drive, please ? ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rgawenda:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
Make sure you have Engineering SPL 2005... otherwise it won't boot!

Do this:

- Download Engineering SPL 2005: http://rapidshare.com/files/247838950/update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2005-signed.zip

- Copy that file to your SD root

- Press and hold power+home and apply the update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2005-signed.zip

- Reboot, and apply the update.zip

It must work now!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Noktrnl:
I had the oppisite happen for me. I would just get "unable to ..." errors. I then loaded the 2004 rom, and this installed flawlessly. I then decided to flash to the "Engineering SPL 1.33.2004 by Crios" version and this runs great. completely bloat free, and speedy.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Altembas:
Did you flash only:

System Image	signed-google_ion-img-150275.zip

or along with Radio and Recovery (from Google)

Does this flash of yours change SPL?

I'm affraid if I flash everything it'll go back to perfect SPL without any possibility to hack it as the soft is not-root-able...

What languages are in this ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skhell:
dferreira: can you tell me what was original SPL?

Note: I am also from Portugal :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mattinglis:
Just done this and it works a treat, everything working. Will they be releasing sense for the ion or is it just gonna be released for 32A devices?

I want sense but the lack of bluetooth just makes all roms useless to me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DOHCtor:
You guys do know that private apps do not show up in Market with google ion. A workaround is to push T-mobile's MT3G build.prop to /system. Besides that, this is a great rom for people that just wants to stick to the basics and have root access.

btw, if you guys want root, all you do is boot into recovery mode (make sure you have amon_ra's or cyan's recovery image) and use adb to type this in

c:/adb/tools>adb shell
#mount /system
#cd /system/bin
#cat sh > su
#chmod 4755 su
#reboot

And you have root access!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skhell:
What did you flashed, just the recovery/system image or also the radio image?

What SPL do you have?

Is it a 32A or a 32B?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mattinglis:
Dev SPL 2005, and flashed the recovery rom, not the radio image.

Its a 32B.

Not fussed about paid apps as i dont intend to buy any.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DOHCtor:
There are many free apps that are installed in /data/app-private. As long as it goes in that directory, it will not show up in Market.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] caoboth:
Would rooting it stop the updates coming through like on a normal vody rom ?

Andy
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
Only flash the recovery image, not the radio. If you install the radio, your Magic will be dead. Download the zip that is in front of "Recovery image"... it's on the first post!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
Yes, 2004 SPL will work too, but I prefer to put 2005 since it's identified as a G phone, instead of the H, that stands for HTC one. It can lead to problems if they check for the SPL string when updating.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
My original SPL was 2004, S-ON G. Now it's 2005 S-OFF G. SPL doesn't matter that much, but they might use it to restrict updates.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] remyink:
I just tried this update and I was also freezing at formating cache...

I just restarted and kept going. Spl is now 2005. Does the 1.6 update look the same as the 1.5? I have a Mytouch3G. I was already running a hero rom. I believe the recovery image is dream 1.2.3. something like that.

I apologize for sounding noobish. First android phone. I got iphone, and winmo down. Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
dream??

This is the file you need to flash:

http://member.america.htc.com/download/RomCode/ADP/signed-google_ion-ota-14721.zip

The 1.6 is an updated version of 1.5. You know the difference if you have a new widget called Power Control and also the camera software changes.

This ROM is not HTC Hero! It is meant for those who want a reliable phone, without the crap carriers put into it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Noktrnl:
the 2005 Im using is H marked.

PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H CPLD-10

I cant seem to find the 3004 ION SPL
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
Sorry, I made a mistake, it's the 2004 SPL that's identified as a G. Don't flash any ION SPL otherwise your phone will die.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] XperiHans:
Hi Dferreira!

I just flashed the stock-rom like you said... Are you 100% sure about the OTA-updates from HTC? Would be very cool to have Eclair as one of the first :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
There is a System Update in Settings, so if it works like Vodafone's ROM did, it should come OTA from HTC as soon as they release it. It didn't exist on stock 1.5, so I'm assuming it will request us to update to 2.0 as soon as they release it!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] iPhone iWing:
what luck do we have with MT3G's?? Ill make a guide for them once we have a confirmation. Let me just ask these steps:

1>flash the orignal recovery from HTC "their idea of a recovery updater, same as cyanogen's flashing process" and thats it if you already are using the 2005 spl? thats it?? the recovery zip is the actual update?? no wipe?? this is just an update or no? sorry dont mean to bug with these slight ?'s just wanna see if i can get MT3G guys going or so we can include them in on this without the millions of ?'s.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
As far as I know, MT3G are the same as my HTC Magic 32B, they have the same board and use the same drivers.

The recovery image that is at HTC is the same as an update.zip. Just copy it to your device and update using any recovery tool. The recovery tool will be replaced by HTC original one.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] iPhone iWing:
thank you kind sir. i will test later tonight and come back with progress and see what else can be done with ion.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hgarcia8585:
how do you do this on a 32a?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DOHCtor:
You can't, it's meant for 32B devices only
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] iPhone iWing:
booting now. will let all MT3G guys know whats up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DOHCtor:
Know wassup for what? We already know it works, as long as we have engineering SPL.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] iPhone iWing:
dude seriously. how many ppl ask over and over here? i am going to post what works for them and what doesnt. thats all. im noob friendly lol. thats all.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] iPhone iWing:
runs great. every single thing works(bluetooth, wifi, sms, calls, full 3g). one thing to DOHC, hey man your directions on rooting it doesnt seem to want to work. nothing on system mount. term app??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DOHCtor:
You have to do it through recovery, and you need either amon_ra's or cyan recovery. And you also need ADB.

And yes, everything works. Even though my sig says CyanogenMod rom, I'm actually on Google ION and have been using it for more than 2 weeks now. It's the fastest and most stable rom I have used. I only gain root so I could use setcpu and clock my cpu to 284/528.

going to update sig now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] iPhone iWing:
ya.. i know that lol!! cough cough. sooo lol. ya im only going to use a small amount of root apps and use the g1 for other things and testing. fosho man thanks. o wait one thing. recovery isnt flashing. i got it to boot so i can gain root but recovery wont stay. does the rec not flash fully??

edit: ?? does it need to be a H ver of recovery?? lol. im gonna try just in case you answer before dl and flash.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DOHCtor:
You need the G recovery from amon_ra. And the only way you can flash it (without a modified rooted rom) is through fastboot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] iPhone iWing:
tried it and nothing man. i dont get it. i can boot it (got it rooted, thanks) and write it but when i got to load it, i get the stock recovery??? o and b16 or b18??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DOHCtor:
I drives an evo 9.

back on topic: instead of using the reocvery OTA file to get the ion ROM, download the images instead and fastboot system.img and boot.img to your phone.

make sure you do

fastboot flash system system.img -w

This will wipe your user data as well. Then you should fastboot amon_ra's recovery image, I'm sure it will stick that way. I didn't use the recovery ota zip file to flash the ion rom, i just used the images and fastbooted them.

edit: download system image instead of recovery image. The system.img data.img recovery.img and boot.img are in there. You only need to fastboot system and boot http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html#s3
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] iPhone iWing:
my bad one and ok so wipe on both? i have yet to flash it like this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DOHCtor:
it's really easy if you have the adb. Just place both system.img and boot.img and amon_ra's recovery.img (rename it to recovery.img if you want, which is what i did) into your sdk tools directory. Boot into fast boot (back + power button).

then do this

Fastboot erase system (wait for the ok)

fastboot flash system system.img -w (wait for ok)(remove -w if you don't want to wipe)

fastboot erase boot (wait for ok)

fastboot flash boot boot.img (wait for ok)

fastboot erase recovery (wait for ok)

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (wait for ok)

fastboot reboot

and you're done!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] iPhone iWing:
nice bro. i have never flashed that way. i have flashed many ways with winm devices lol but not with android. def different. thanks bro. you are now the ion god. simple things go a long way.

fosho

ps: one last thing. now say i wanna do some custom packing with some apk's and or change a few things. you think using an update thats moded will work??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] htcmagic:
Well i am confused. In a post you put rapidshare link to update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2005-signed.zip

should i flash this or the one you mention in the first post

Engineering SPL 1.33.2004

or

Engineering SPL 1.33.2004 by Crios

Which one please, as i dont want to brick my phone.

Also i have already used Amon_RA recovery to flash RA donut 1.6. Do i need to use fastboot commands now? Cant i do the flashing from AmonRa revovery?

Do i need to wipe?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] caoboth:
Well on mine i flashed SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2005 SPL

then kinda did exactly the same as DOHCtor and mines working very well for the past couple of weeks with no issues.

No internet vodafone uk....

I've followed the instructions.. I've got ion running on my Magic - however when I booted it it would not sign me in because it said I did not have a network connection.. I turned on wifi and signed in that way, however I cannot browse with wifi turned off or get 3g access on my phone ..

any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
Engineering SPL 1.33.2004 - This is the one I have, since it's the same version I had originally, just with S-OFF and with G brand. It might work without problems with other SPL's too.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
Since this is a non-operator branded ROM, you need to fill in the APN details in the wireless connections so that 3G can work! If I'm not mistaken, there are applications that do that for you at the Market.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] iPhone iWing:
i recommend to everyone that is tired of running around with dif roms, all that stuff and just want a good fast super stable rom plus gets ota updates from htc. this is the right choice. i love this sooo much! thanks to DOHC i got it setup and rooted. probably the best choice i made. thanks again

if i use Engineering SPL 1.33.2004 will i be able to revert to my original spl? I have an original nandroid backup.

So to i first fastboot with amon_ra recovery.

I apply SPL -do i need to reboot here?

then apply signed-google_ion-ota-14721.zip -do i need to wipe first?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] htcmagic:
I have installed the rom, but could you please explain the steps in more detail to get root?

Do i fastboot boot recovery-RA-magic-v1.2.3G.img

then type the commands while amon_ra nandroid screen shows?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] caoboth:
Put your phone back into fastboot mode (back and power button)

then fastboot amon_ra's fantastic recovery img.

e.g fastboot boot recovery.img

then run from yoru pc the following: (assuming of course you have the andriod sdk installed)

adb shell

mount /system

cd /system/bin

cat sh > su

chmod 4755 su

reboot

And now your sorted with a nice rooted phone :)

Hello, everyboby, everything looks good but there is a problem i cannot work out with this rom.

Widgets on OpenHome,aHome,Freshface and PandaHome when added on a screen , then you wait a little bit and come back to that screen they look they are stuck on the time you created them and then they reset to the correct state. Like time you add analogue clock at 8 pm the flick though other pages and come back 5 minutes later to the initial screen. The clock hand shows 8 pm and then jumps to 8.05 pm.

Is there something that prevents widgets from storing their state?

Thanks

wireless tether?

is there instructions to get wireless tether working on

this rom? we dont have iptables set up..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
Most of those alternative home's don't work in Donut! It has nothing to do with this particular ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
Thanks my friend, I've added your answer to the list of FAQ :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
Try gaining root first and then install Wireless Tether. I'm not sure if to include iptables, you need to compile the kernel... which leads to a hacked kernel, meaning that if you really need tethering, you should probably use other Donut based hacked ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] htcmagic:
Thanks dferreira i was going crazy and couldn't understand why. I think they are donut compatible but also keep backwards compatibility with cupcake. So they are not build exclusively for donut.

Hello all.

Just a post to say that (with a bit of help from dferreira, granted) I have successfully flashed my vodafone uk 1.6 Magic to the Google ION ROM :)

I've also changed the boot screen, and gained root access (tested by using a screenshot app on my phone)!

The ROM is noticeably faster, both at bootup and when using :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DOHCtor:
Congrats man! Since you gained root access, you should download the latest setcpu app and clock it to 245/528mhz. It will be much faster than it already is.
