Regardless of radio and port cm5/cm6 require a very clean system to boot cleanly.

I'll assume you already took a nandroid+ext backup of cm5 (or have already lost the data so we can just wipe and install)

1) go into fastboot (power on holding camera; press send/back as prompted to enter fastboot) and run

fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot oem powerdown

2) Now boot into recovery and Wipe->wipe ext: partition ** If this returns an error because you have no ext partition ignore the error.

3) flash your rom (rom's update.zip; gapps update.zip; portfile update.zip) [see rom installation for additional details]

4) reboot remember it will take a while to load. (make sure you have a sim card in the phone.. some roms don't like booting without one)

** If you don't want to erase and loose all the apps on the sd card (not that cm6 stock allows apps2ext) you can run the following at the RA-command line instead of wiping the partition

mount /sd-ext
rm -rf /sd-ext/dalvik-cache
sync
um
reboot recovery

In addition you are flashing the wrong gapps, you need a mdpi like MDPI-TINY-20100816. You have overflowed the system partition on your phone. Start over with the right gapps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jinxhyped:
That was my mistake on copying the wrong info...because I'm a new xda user I wasnt allowed to post url's, so I just text-grabbed the wrong one. I was using the Tiny gapps, but regardless it still hangs even without installing gapps.

After all of the above & even trying a fresh format and repartition of my SD card, I'm still hanging at the same spot on CM6. I get what I'm guessing is the CM6 installing splash screen with that blue trail revolving around skatedroid, it runs for 15-30 seconds then freezes, goes black, and then pops back up to skate droid all over again. I've let this run for in excess of an hour. :(

I've just now done a fresh erase from fastboot & through recovery, and I'm a few minutes into installing CM5 past the Rogers boot splash. I'm 5 minutes in & still nothing but a black screen.

So far with the exception of my nand backups, I havent been able to install any roms since switching back to 3.22.26.17. ON a side note however, it WAS just an APN error that was causing my MMS problems, so if I cant get 5.0.8 to install I may just downgrade the radio again & go back to EBI0 roms.

I'm just happy with what I've seen CM become and I'd rather just keep it simple on my Poor Aging Dream ;)

On another side note, can a moderator verify me so we can drop these silly spambot restrictions?! :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] liderzre:
Ok. I've allready tryed... No network...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Yep. No wifi either.

I'm not sure how much progress I'll make on this, having very little idea and having no access to a device makes it near impossible. Oh well, ports work.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
hey bcrook

great work you're doing!

is there a way to try the latest CM 6.0.1 with 6.35 radio Magics?

thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MindHealer:
How to install this ROM?The first page is not so clear about.

Same way as other ROMs?

1)Recovery mode

2)WIpe all

3)Flash zip file

Right?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
1. Flash full CM ROM

2. Flash port

Only wipe if you are coming from another ROM or have problems. Alternatively, get ROM Manager and go to Download ROM, CyanogenMOD, and choose your version. It should install the rom, port and gapps all effortlessly.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Not unless someone makes a kernel that works with them. A few people smarter than me have tried but no one has followed it through.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MindHealer:
Thanks you're so kind.

Anyway,i can see only the PORT file to download.The full CM ROM?

I got a 32A Magic.

Can someone confirm that Car Home application work fine on CM 6.0.1 RC1. Mine gets installed successfully but I get now shortcut to run it :( do you guys have any idea?

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MindHealer:
So what are known issues up now?

Do Wifi and camera work properly?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
I believe there are two parts to the CarHome thing. When I tried to install CarHome, i deleted both files first...but that was wrong. I think you need the launcher or something.

Umm...nothing major. Whatever issues are in CM6...nothing port specific. Some people have reported battery drain issues (1 person) but thats kind of an ongoing issue with cm6
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Shouldn't installing the actual app from the Market successfully install/copy/create whatever file are necessary for the app to work?

...or maybe my Car Home installation was kind of broken from the beginning starting with CM ROM + gapps...that probably should have had a version of Car Home. Maybe that is the problem?

Interesting thing is that I have seen that app working fine on a different Froyo ROM also based on CM 6.0.1 RC.

More investigation needed...

BTW...my battery life on CM 6.0.1 RC1 is about 20h per full charge with a decent amount of messaging/browsing/apps. I noticed there is a huge drainage when Wifi is ON, but on the other hand in stand-by/sleep mode phone is using very little battery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Yes, that would make sense. I honestly don't really know, I do know Car Home works for me and is from the market.

CarHomeLauncher.apk is what made it work for me.

The WiFi thing makes sense, someone else was complaining of it and they had wifi on. Thanks for the observation.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MindHealer:
Sorry guys,need help.

I installed the ROM,all ok except for the missing Market.

How can i fix that?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mikeshnitka:
In reply to CarHome app issue. I used "create custom shortcut" to get an icon to use.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
I think you missed the Google Apps. Go here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version -- the gapps links are at the bottom

Nice.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MindHealer:
Ok thanks bcrook,i picked up the Tiny version (as the chart says).

I actually need the Market only, other apps i don't care about.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
You could unzip the gapps, delete everything except market/vending, rezip, resign. Or, just flash it and ignore the others.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MindHealer:
Anything works fine,i don't see any battery DRAIN as others say.

Anyway,i found wifi connection quite slow than previous ROMs i had,even scrolling pages is laggy and not smooth.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Just to keep anyone who doesn't follow me on Twitter up to date, I have been working on a full build of CM6 with the EBI1 stuff integrated into it. So far, I have been failing HARD on the builds and I am not sure why.

My ultimate goal is to get a vendor overlay/config set up and have it added to buildbot. That is likely a long way off but its what I'd like to do.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mikeshnitka:
Ive been following your progress on this. Im sure you'll get it. Btw, thanks for your ports! tacos for you soon!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
if anyone has successfully built the DS branch for CM6, please contact me by email/Gtalk or Twitter.

EDIT:

Update - @ryanneufeld gave me access to his server and I got a port-inclusive build to boot. I am working on the vendor/device configs now...home stretch.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jgcaap:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ferrarinews:
Hi everybody.

I come from andorid 2.1 with my own ROM (Magic Fusion with Sense UI).

I liked to try Cyanogen, but I have some doubts that he liked me clarify.

1 - It is true that the battery runs out too fast?

2 - In case of missed call or sms, the trackball is still some time to blink as a warning?

3 - If I want weather animation, as I have the sense ui, I can get to this ROM?

Thanks to all.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tonesenna:
CM doesn't have Sense UI, so no sense widgets... However maybe you can find animated widgets in the market.

IMHO choosing a ROM based on the availability of a widget makes little sense, (no pun intended). CM is worth it for speed, stability and features.

I never noticed the trackball at all nor any battery issues.

CM is very stable, responsive and packed with enhancements. For me it's definitely worth it.

cheers,

Roger's Dream constant corruption?

I was able to use Cyanogen Mod V5.0.8 before with the only issue that my battery, time and antennae didn't display in my status bar even though in the options it was set to do so... After 2 weeks it started bugging me... So I attempted last night to install V6.1..0 from the wiki page specifically for the rogers dream I followed all instructions.

I believe I have Amon Ra Recovery and the DANGER spl installed correctly.

Fast boot menu HBOOT-1.33.2005

And I am able to flash zips from my recovery menu therefor the Amon tool must work.

I flash the CyanMod first

Then the Kernel

Then Googlg Apps

Problem:It no longer matters whether I attempt to revert back to V5 or V6 there is always an error that either occurs right away after first load or after i synch my gmail account.. bunch of force close. A wipe seemed to work however when I finally get settings worked out and then sync my google mail account, I will get force closes on process.acore or sometimes I format correctly and basically the touch the android to begin is there however I touch the android, it blinks indicating it took my touch however i stay at the same screen with emergency dial or language support. I also recall seeing something with .media which as soon as I would try to do most things phone kept force closing.

I have read online many people get these issues and a wipe fixes it however for me it seems every time I try the issue gets replaced by a different force close. could my phone be out?? Is it corruption in the files? I just attempted downloading from mirrors instead, after i will attempt to unzip in my pc and rezip them... Anyone know what to do for these issues.

PS: I am no a developer however I should be able to provide you with any type of information you need. I did install the SDK kit on my pc, and attempted the fastboot erase system command and it worked but didn't resolve the actual issue.

It does this fresh after install this is not apps2sd issue.

thanks for your help everyone

Ive been saying how droid is better than mac, but I have yet to see a mac crash so much like this. <-- Take it as incentive to resolve these instabilities. Would it be possible to be able to show off my phone to someone without it force closing?

-> Marc-O
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bumer2314:
Ok this time It seemed to work but get this... I had tried V5 then downloaded the V6 again however instead of regular links or mirror 2 I used mirror 1 especially for google apps. It seemed to work but the weird part I thought it would erase my configurations this time it had my lock code, my gmail account already in... but I flash the 3 Zip files from the SD card?? Should that not of reset to factory defaults?

Now that it works I'm doing the following...

NAND + EXT Backup

BART Backup

Google files backup

All from the Amon recovery menu... will this bring my device to working settings should i start experiencing force closes again?... lol so bad I have to save backups, i'm really thinking this is a phone hardware issue rather than the mod itself... but I also suspect the google app on the regular download link should be replaced with the one from mirror 1... it's the only explanation I can find that the Gmail app thing was corrupt.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ezterry:
This sounds mostly like a wiping issue (you think its a "fresh" install but things have stayed installed from the previous install.)

THis is why you may see many mentions of Super Wipe lately.. as its an easy way for you to wipe your system (flash from recovery) without us needing to explain the more complicated ways using fastboot erase or terminal.

After than try a clean install of cm6.1 or other rom.

Strange problem (maybe noobee question)

Hi there, first thanks to all of you on this forum!

I have a strange problem : I tried to upgrade my HTC magic 32A (SHIP S-ON H HBOOT-1.33.0009 radio-3.22.20.17) with original rom (1.5) to this cyanogenmod 6.1 rom.

I installed the Amon RA recovery bootloader,

copied the CM-6.1.0 rom on the SD card (file bc-6.1.0-ebi1-signed.zip), renamed as update.zip,

copied the gapps mdpi tiny to the SD card,

booted on the recovery menu,

wiped data/factory reset,

flashed the update.zip, and the gapps.zip,

rebooted.

Everything looked fine, no error message.

It took some time to reboot, but went fine.

The problem is that It looks like NOTHING was done exept all the applications (including google apps) and settings were removed!

The version displayed in the settings (firmware version) is still 1.5

The interface is strictly the same as before,

There is no cyanogenmod splash screen or anything else that suggest something was installed.

Google applications did not install.

Is there something I forgot to do/did wrong?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] beav_35:
bc-6.1.0-ebi1-signed.zip is not a ROM it is a port file. You need to flash the ROM then the port file. There is a link in the OP. Also, there is no need to rename it to update.zip anymore.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] coredump3:
Ok, I missed that.

So I should first download and flash the file	update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip

I can't download it from the link in OP (mirror.teamdouche.net/get/dream_sapphire/update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip). This page gives an error.

Is there another mirror for it?

EDIT: Found it somewhere else.

The install worked perfectly this time.

Thanks!

It needs patches for 32a support.. in its current form it looks only good for EBI0 dreams, and 2708+ 32b sapphires.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] confiq:
so i guess EBI1 is kernel configuration for Rogers and AT&T networks with radio 3.22.20.17? And for others it doesn't matter?

I've read: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/How_to_build_a_kernel_port and it says that ABI1 need to set "CONFIG_MSM_AMSS_SUPPORT_256MB_EBI1" to Y.

By this, i understand that EBI1 is every 32A???

Or it's only 32A with your radio (3.22.20.17) image?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] neymo:
what do you mean by this " you go it" ? .. wich kernel is the right for a magic PVT32A ?

?? .. i'm a bit lost with the two different ones..if they are different ?? ?? need clarification of this .. thx
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bankwing:
Which version of SPL and Radio is best for 32A?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
EBI1 is the radio revision and takes into account the Rogers 32A Magics and the very odd Rogers Dreams. Rogers Dreams cant use 32A kernels but they cant use 32B kernels either. They are stuck in a crappy no-mans land of ROM support. What people did was to flash a 32B radio so they can use 32B roms but that apparently screwed up reception and stuff.

So now, when we build kernels using the EBI1 config, it allows the kernel to boot on Rogers Magics AND Dreams. So technically, its not 32B or 32A...but it works.

I hope that is clear. If you have a 32A magic you can flash this no problem. Use the newest kernel port file and you will be good :)

i changed the script to point to build.sapphire.prop and changed name of folder to sapphire and renamed the scripts.... i loaded them into gscript myself but you could run them from terminal. Drop the folder in the attached zip folder onto the root directory of your sdcard.

su
sh /sdcard/sapphire/sapphireswitch.sh

to restore old prop :

su
sh /sdcard/sapphire/sapphirerestore.sh

The camera function in 4.2.7 will often cause reboot of the phone.

e.g.

1. using Camera, take a shot, go to gallery, and then back... boom, reboot

2. using Barcode Scanner, scan a QR code, go to Market to get the app, press return to Barcode Scanner... boom, reboot

Mine is HTC Magic 32A; clean install of 4.2.7...

both did not reproduce a reboot.

i am using a 32A. amonRA recovery 1.5 ( but i am sure this has no effect on reboots).

no partitions, no compcache, no a2sd, no swap.

what about you? probably something else is causing the reboot as i didnt even get a FC error.

post it here as an attachment. maybe bcrook or radix can solve it for you. I don't have any knowledge on coding.

or prolly check out the issue tracker on CM's website. create a new issue if its not already there or add to an existing one.

i'll try and reproduce and see if it happens to me as well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
HAHAHA, I cant, for sure. Run the fix_permissions.sh script and then head over cyanogen's bug tracker.

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/list
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] str4vag:
hehe. worth a shot to mention. :P now go watch top gear and dont spoil it for me :p

oh yeah. forgot about fix_permissions.

so here is what you do. head over to the AmonRA recovery thread. there, download the latest recovery image available (seeing as you are in this thread for 32A phones, the recovery needed will be 1.5.0H version)

install it using ADB/Fastboot/Terminal emulator with the instructions given.

reboot into the recovery and check if you have the correct version. it should say which version you have on the bottom of your screen.

then go to the others menu, you should see fix permissions there. run it.

reboot into CM and try and reproduce the problem and see what happens. try reproduce with the phone connected to the computer with logcat running.

see what happens :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lokto7:
Thanks for the detailed instruction.

How do I backup the current recovery partition before installing the RA 1.5.0H?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] str4vag:
No problem. Can you run a nandroid backup with your current recovery?

because if you can, then you just need to check the nandroid folder and you should see a file called recovery.img. that is the recovery partition of your phone.

I am however not sure of any other way as I never back up my recovery other than from nandroid.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] FernandoMiguel:
so much trouble when u can run it directly from CM rom?

no need to go into recovery for that.

just open a terminal , run su to be root, and then run fix_permissions
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lokto7:
Thanks~

I've tried the "Fix apk vid mismatches" in Others of RA 1.5.0H. Problem seems solved.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] str4vag:
Thats good. If it does show up a lot, make a problem report.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] walie:
I've had this issue on both Amon_Ra and Cyanogen. I think its a donut issue
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] str4vag:
walie, he seems to have solved it with a quick run of fix_permissions.

have you tried it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rickytenzer:
I had the same issue and the fix_permissions seems to have worked as well. At least once so far...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lokto7:
I want to verify that if "fix_permissions" = "Fix apk uid mismatches" found in "Others" menu of RA 1.5.0H

I've done that "Fix apk uid mismatches" once. The camera issue seems to be fixed until a few mins before...

1. I take a shot with FxCamera, view it, and then return to FxCamera. No problem.

2. Launch Barcode Scanner... boom... instant reboot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] str4vag:
that is correct. Fix APK mismatches = fix_permissions.

ok. since it rebooted, try the barcode scanner, then the FxCamera.

then try it the other way around. Probably those apps hates each other and running it in that sequence caused a kernal panic, hence a reboot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lokto7:
Thanks again~

It's too bad I can't reproduce the problem effectively and consistently :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] walie:
tried that and it didn't work

I don't know if its a conflict between certain programs, using the camera in any capacity can result in a reboot for me, probably 75% of the time. Its very unlikely it will reboot right after booting, but after that, it can happen at any time
