Which 1.6 file did you use? Try the defanged which is linked in cyanogen's wiki
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bunu:
you are supposed to flash the htc file before flashing cyanogen. you can find the file link somewhere in this forum
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] psguardian:

help

[*]Open RecoveryFlash (flashrec) & press in the text box & clear out the box, then put /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2G.img & press Flash Custom Recovery Image.

[*]Once the flash is complete turn the phone off.

[*]Boot into 'Recovery' like this: Press-&-Hold END/Power AND Pres-&-Hold Home. (this will be a black background with green text options)

I am having trouble with the flashrec... no matter how many times i do it... i don't get the Flash Custom Recovery Image option

I still try to reboot it in Recovery and i get a triangle with a ! inside standing over a mytouch.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] psguardian:
Sorry you guys had issues, flashrec is really picky im noticing. if you follow the cyan wiki there are also like 5+ versions to choose from. the next time I flash im going to go from the 1.5 base ROM up just so I can see which version of flashrec works like its suppose to & adjust my OP to point the flashrec download to the 'best version'. Glad it ended up working for you both.

~psguardian

EDIT :

(01/01/10) Ok ladies & gents I have updated the OP with the md5sum check digits on all the downloads that I have (all but flashrec since there are like 5 versions to download & if this file is corrupt upon download it just won't run right so no harm done) AND how to check the md5sum since I didn't know how previously. :o

Still haven't re-flashed my MT3G so I redirected the flashrec link to the full list of flashrec versions avail.

AFAIK some roms just don't have kernel/driver support for the camera. In those cases starting an app that calls the camera could crash your system, forcing it to reboot.

Is the above version available for the magic 32b?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] psguardian:
Do you have a G or H (google or htc) 32b? Since this ROM was designed for both the Dream/G1 & the Magic/MT3G (32a & 32b) really either should be fine but to be safe check the cyanogenmod wiki.

Upgrade ext2 to ext3

Hi everyone, I have MT3G rooted with Cyanogen 4.2.12.2 and my SD is partitioned with ext2, but I forgot to make ext3 after, so I follow all the steps and My phone is working ok. Can I do the upgrade of ext2 to ext3 without wipe my phone or I need wipe all?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] psguardian:
My first reaction is yes it should be fine, however I have not tried this so I don't

know

it will keep your apps.

Get an app that allows you to back up installed apps to a folder on your SD (the fat32 part.), I use AppManager, take note of any it doesn't back up (these are protected & would need to be re-downloaded if your ext is wiped). after the app backup or after a nandroid+ext back up if you have Amon Ra's recovery you could do the ext3 upgrade & check apps, if they fail try repair ext. if that fails you're upto ext3 so just install AppManager again & install your apps list from the menu in that app.

~psguardian
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] psguardian:
Hmm what ROM are you coming from? There are a lot of things we could try but normally when you work fine on ROM A & get utter failure flashing ROM B the best thing to do is start from the begining (from the 1.6 defanged base, or if that doesn't work from the very start with downgrading to 1.5 sapphimg.nbh).

~psguardian
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Quiketaz:
Ok I'll try that in this moment. Before I will do both back up apps and backup with nandroid. Thanks.

It WORKS thanks a lot. My MT3G is a little faster.

flashing custom recovery image

H

I'm not sure why or what causes this but when I was rooting my mt3g 32b US I downloaded the APK file open and installed flashrec file. Opened the app, selected backup recovery image. Now in the text box type /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2.img. the flash custom recovery image or the download buttons do not appear and I receive an error that say "phone built is EIOB/32b. What I did, when you back up the recovery image it saves it to the sdcard as recovery-backup.img. I renamed he recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2g.img to recovery-backup and replaced excisting. Went back to app and selected restore recovery imaged. When complete it says flash completed. This was my work around.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MilanoChris:
I would, but it's over 90 MB.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] psguardian:
This is a great work around! I remember one of the times that I started over with 1.5 I just renamed his recovery to RA-recovery.img so I wouldn't have soo much typing to do in flashrec, never thought of it being a work around, I will add this as a 'note' in the OP (find credited to you :D)

Hmmm I'll let my brain stew on this one for a bit, in the mean time, have you found anything of use over on the CM Wiki?

~psguardian
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MilanoChris:
Hi, thanks for your reply. I've had no luck and have been researching a bit. To be honest it's a bit out of my depth so I am hoping someone might be able to come up with an answer for me. The CM Wiki had no extra info that I could see.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] psguardian:
Ok so after some back-burner thinking (I love the subconscious's ability to dwell on an issue while you just let go & carry on with your day) I remembered seeing something in the wiki about 32b from the UK & found this excerpt from there "...# Vodafone HTC Magic UK (32B, unlocked) mixed results ..." under the tested units section.

However don't worry, there are alternatives, have you tried the method he details under "Non-TMobile 32B Magics" ? it is much more technically involved & involves using the android SDK from your computer, but its an alternate.

Hope this is something you can try, I will continue to 'stew on it' & repost if I come up with anything else.

~psguardian
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MilanoChris:
Thanks for your reply. I can't seem to be able to install the SDK, it doens't do much in the cmd window and I don't have the options like it states on the wiki.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MilanoChris:
OK I've got it installed and it sees my phone. Now researching what to do. :eek::confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] psguardian:
If SDK gives you issues or just plain doesn't work you may want to drop a line over @ CyanogenMod thread on either further options to get Rooted & running on Cooked ROMs or how to get back up on Stock ROM. I never have touched SDK so other then pointing it out as an option I'm worthless for advice on it. I'm out of ideas.

Hey all - any help is GREATLY appreciated! I have posted this issue several times over the past few months in other forums, still cannot resolve it. I have a T-MO MT3G and the highest ver I can get to work is 4.2.3.1. Any higher version I try installing just hangs at the green MyTouch splash screen on boot (I have waited over an hour). This happens regardless of whether I do a complete wipe and install, use CM Updater, or manually install the .zip over the existing. I've always used the steps in the CM wiki, but tonight I followed the instructions in this thread with a complete wipe and fresh install of 4.2.12.2 and got the same thing. Frustrated beyond belief...please any help?!?!

Thanks for your help, as per the PM, I managed to sort it now, Turns out one of the files hadn't copied to my SD card properly, so I had to go out and buy a reader and do the process again from the wiki. Cheers all, now running on CM and happy. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Alfieg:
I had this problem and I nearly had a nervous breakdown on the XDA forum as noone had a clue and they weren't understanding the issue. For this reason I plugged away and found my own method. I wrote a guide for the overclockers forum but i'm gonna share it here. Considering there are three threads on here for the issue you mention and a load of android geeks it's madness this has not been sorted already.

The only change I would now make to my guide is to install amon ra recovery instead and partition the SD (96mb swap, 512mb EXT2 and then upgrade ext2 to ext4) - read up.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here you are folks. Here are the instructions for installing cyanogen on a UK vodafone magic 32B with 1.6 rom - no need to downgrade to 1.5. It's really easy, just take your time and please let me know if there are any errors in my guide.

Good Luck!!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Format your SD Card from the phone menu.

• Download the HTC Android 1.6 base image - http://dx.infernix.net/DRC83_base_defanged.zip

• Download the Latest Cyanogen mod - http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/upda...2.2-signed.zip

• Move the 2 image files above to your formatted SD card.

• Download the old 1.5 SDK for Windows - http://developer.android.com/sdk/dow...ows-1.5_r3.zip

• Open the downloaded SDK Zip Archive and find the Tools folder and the USB_driver folder. Extract these folders to C:\

• Download the latest CM recovery image - http://cyanogenmod.com/download/reco...covery-1.4.img

• Move this file to C:\Tools

• Switch off your phone and hold down the back button and the power button to boot into FASTBOOT.

• Connect a USB cable from your phone to your PC.

• Try not to let Windows install the drivers automatically. If it does you can update the driver via device manager. Just point windows to C:/USB_driver and it will install the Android boot loader driver.

• Now open a command prompt. Right click and run as admin just to be safe. Make sure you’re still in FASTBOOT.

• Navigate to your tools directory:

• CD C:\

CD Tools

• Now simply type fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.4.img.

• The phone will reboot into Cyanogen recovery 1.4.

• DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• Select Wipe Data

• Select apply any update.zip

• Apply the DRC83_base_defanged.zip first.

• When complete do not reboot, go back into apply any update.zip again and apply update-cm-4.2.12.2-signed.zip

• Now you can reboot into Cyanogen!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

• Now install the recovery image properly onto your phone:

• Connect your phone to your PC and mount the SD card. Copy the CM recovery image (the same one you put in your C:\Tools directory) to the root of your SD card. Rename it to “recovery” (you need to do this as the terminal app on cyanogen can’t type numbers).

• Open the terminal app and type SU

• Now type flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

• Exit the terminal and test the recovery by turning off your phone and holding home and power together.

• Reboot.

• Now you’re done. Make a cup of tea and enjoy! 
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MilanoChris:
Yeah same issue here and that's the same method that I used. Looks very complicated but it's actually quite easy. That is a good write up, I would suggest re writing it with links to downloads and make it pretty looking and make a new thread as it seems a common issue for Vodafone UK handsets. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] psguardian:
I agree, its very good & should be laid out in a "how to" type thread. If you do create a new thread for it just edit your post down to just include the thread link instead of the full how to (can get confusing having 1 walk-through inside another) & with your permission I'll add the link to my OP as an alt option for UK 32b users :). That way they don't have to go through all the hair pulling you two did.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wipeout140:
Thanks Alfieg for the how to for the UK vodafone magic 32B with 1.6 rom, but only problem with your guide is none of the links work expect HTC Android 1.6 base image. That's no problem as got all the other downloads already but it seems google has removed the old 1.5 SDK for Windows as when finding the link - Can't post url as this is my first post

it redirects you to download the current SDK for Windows which i assume is not good enough.

After doing some googling i was able find a link on rapidshare, it was not available for download at time of trying (21.30pm GMT)

Edit: I was able to start the download link and complete the download of sdk1.5r3, i try your guide tomorrow or later this week

Thanks again for trying

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] psguardian:
This is something everyone should do after flashing a new ROM if they have battery life issues. follow these steps. Since ALL of the Operating System files get re-written in a flash the batterystats.bin file is created fresh during a ROM flash. If its not accurately reporting battery status then your phone will think the battery is dead well before its time & even shut down when it thinks the battery is 'empty' even if the honest charge lvl is still in the 30%-40% range. following the wiki link above will fix it. then use & charge as normal. if battery life is not back to normal something else is wrong (but 97 of out 100 this is the issue)

Flashrec not making backup

Hi hopefully someone can help

I have formatted my SD card as instructed but now whenever I try to make the initial backup required of my recovery, it comes back as failed. I downloaded all of the flashrec versions and tried them all with the same result.

I have also tried to just rename the amonra recovery file to recovery-backup.img and then click restore backup, but this also fails after thinking for a while.

Does anyone have any idea of what I can do?

My phone model is 32A with .0010 SPL 1.5 Android after firmware update.

Not sure if you want radio versions as no one on the forum seems concerned about what radio version is used. I use the vodacom network in South Africa, but people have referred to my phone as being similar in spec to the rogers model. Not sure if this is really the case though.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] redmdc:
as i have learnt from trying to combine the flashrec.apk within my rooting software i have noticed this flashrec is major dependant on your device specs, like what country your from, what SPL your running, kernel etc, and one last thing i would like to add is that just dont expect anything amazing using cyans latest ROMS they suffer from major lag so i would hold off for the mean time, i have been a loyal cyan user but i just cant use it for everyday use anymore
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] twigster:
Thanks redmdc

Ive been holding off for a while now, trying to get the courage to take on my .0010 SPL and, after everyones comments, I was hoping this would allow me to get a custom rom with less chance of bricking.

Unfortunately, it seems not for me though, unless someone else has an idea.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] psguardian:
Hmm since you're on a 32A (btw thanks for including that in your post, you should consider a signature with phone stats so you don't always have to type it) I must ask have you tried step 7. 32A users read this page of cyanogenmod wiki? I know it involves getting into your phone with the SDK rather then just moving the file to your phone but it seems to be the most successful route for 32A's.

~psguardian
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] psguardian:
The latest is very hit-n-miss for fast or laggy, more so then prior releases. While he has had releases that were just laggy for all this one has a pretty level split of fast & laggy reports, which tells me that he is approaching the hardware limits of our phones under the 1.6 Operating System Structure. I posted in the 4.2.x stable thread about the fact that noone takes hardware into account when factoring performance, just like any micro chip these phones have chips that BARELY passes Quality Inspection Standards(most likely to have issues with any cooked ROM) and those that GREATLY exceeded Quality Inspection Standards(most likely to blaze on any cooked ROM that isn't fatally flawed) If/When the 2.0 dump is released for the MT3G he will be able to cook with renewed vigor & it will likely fit on the G1 also.

But enough gloomy talks, lets get FLASHING! :D

~psguardian
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] twigster:
Thanks psguardian. I have previously tried the fastboot method and It didn't reflect my device even though adb did reflect the device. But it is possible I was doing something wrong as I was very new to the game then.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] psguardian:
No worries, the diff between newb & moron are few, the newb asks reasonable questions & learns, the moron just keeps asking the same question & expects the world to bend to their version of reality. I was fortunate enough to be able to do everything from the phone once files were moved to my SD card so I have never used the SDK / ADB applications.

Good Luck :)

whats your HBOOT info ill try n help you out
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] twigster:
It finally worked!!

I managed to get the flashrec program to work after seeing on the unlockr site that the flashrec had a backup recovery pass. To the right of the boxes there is an invisible key that, when pressed, shows an asterix. I tried this and then renamed the amonra recovery to recovery.img instead of backup-recovery.img and it flashed it.

Don't know if it was the different approach or just the flashrec program that decided to work.

Strangely though, after I had flashed the new recovery, it would allow me to make a new backup, so possibly my previous recovery might have had a problem?

After this, all went as planned per the 1st post on this thread, thanks psguardian for the nice points. So I too can confirm that this method worked on a perfect SPL

Redmdc, for the record my HBOOT is HBOOT-1.33.0010 (SAPP10000). I'm still tempted to maybe do a goldcard and get the .2010 engineering SPL.

Now this just makes me keen to try flash one of the new Android 2 ROMS. Will look around though and see what concerns and fixes other people have asked already, don't want to be a moron.

I do have one more question though, if someone has any thoughts. When does it become necessary to flash a new radio, my current version is RADIO-3.22.20.17, or does it ever need to be, unless the ROM specifically requests it.

• Format your SD Card from the phone menu.

• Download the HTC Android 1.6 base image - http://dx.infernix.net/DRC83_base_defanged.zip

• Download the Latest Cyanogen mod - http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/upda...2.2-signed.zip

I type this and then just get a message in command promt saying: FAILED <remote: not allow>.

What does this mean?

Im on a Magic (Vodafone) 32B. Ive tried using recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img as well as cm-recovery-1.4.img and neither have worked.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] twigster:
Hi fingertipz85..

Have you tried the method described in the first post of this thread?

I also used to get the same error msg as you but using flashrec allows you to flash the recovery to your phone without needing to use fastboot.
