Hello,

After having CursorSense32A 1.2.0 installed with its required radio and spl.

I have decided to revert back to 3.22 Radio and SPL.

So I followed the guide to flash to 32a 3.22 radio

I have successfully sent the file to the phone from fastboot and I could see the green upload bar progress and sending was OKAY.

Now when 'writing radio....' started my phone screen went blank to black and i have been seating like this for like 10 minutes so far.

Have something gone wrong here? What can I do ?

When I upgraded to 6.35 Radio, it was fairly quick and screen never when blank on me.

help ? or for some odd reason downgrading take soooo much longer that phone look frozen or something?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] PremierITA:
Same problem...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xxgg:
OK, I HAVE SOLVED IT.

Reason that happen to me was because I wanted to install other custom ROMs to play with but all I got was a repeat rebooting of Rogers logo only.

So I thought I had to go back to ENG SPL, So I flashed to eng 2010 SPL but that did not solve the problem.

So I read the how to downgrade back to 3.22 Radio & SPL.

Since I already had the SPL back to ENG, I thought I could skip that but this was the problem line.

In order forr me to flash back to 3.22 Radio, my phone had to have 1.76.2007 SPL in it first!!

So from fastboot I flashed to 1.76.2007 first, than flashing back to 3.22 Radio worked as it should and everything is all back to as it should be.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] OptimatorX:
Wow

Thank you so much for this. Now I've got a really fast HERO running around in my Magic!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gima2002:
I can't get past fastboot please help

I tried applying the radio and new spl and recovery but I did't install the recovery right away (I thought I already had the right recovery already installed boy was I wrong) and now when I try installing the Hero recover or reverting back to the old radio and magic recovery I get the following message each time I try to flash a recover(regardless of which one):

Sending 'recover' <33 KB>... OKAY

writing 'recover' ... FAILED <remote: image error (BootMagic check fail))

The device doesn't get apst the rogers screen and I can only get into fastboot.

Can one of you guys please help?

and thanks in advance
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] OptimatorX:
Tether argh!

Please make a wired tether howto too :)

I just can't get it to work, and I can't find any usable (n00b) information anywhere.

I've connected the phone via USB and started up the wired tether app - nothing happens - what to do?

Thx again for this great ROM!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
Hi Cursor.

With this thread, it means that S-ON can change to S-OFF with another RUU update. So is there any RUU can update to clear the S-ON of 1.76.0007?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ricsdue:
Another SPL

Hey

I've a magic with SPL 1.33.0014. And Radio 3.22.23.18.

Have do I make an opgrade of these?? I've heart that there are some troubles with this SPL.. True??

Hope some can help and paste a link..

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yhbae01:
Doh, I can't believe I am still stuck at the first step even after hours of trying... :D

Please tell me what I did wrong here:

1. download update-hboot-1.33.2010-signed.zip

2. copy it to the root of sdcard, rename it to update.zip

3. boot the phone into recovery mode by turning on the phone while pressing "volume down" button

I went to the fastboot mode to check and my SPL is still at 1.33.0009.

The steps seem so simple - what am I doing wrong here? At this rate, I am going to loose all of my hair by the time I am done upgrading... :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fabioccoelho:
This command fastboot.exe flash Radio_C_PVT_32A_6.35.10.18.img is wrong!

Try:

fastboot.exe flash radio Radio_C_PVT_32A_6.35.10.18.img

:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
We would need an official HTC RUU with a version number greater than 3.03 with an unlocked SPL. so far nothing like this exists.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] RobbieTheStiff:
I also encountered this problem when trying to flash the Hero 1.5.2 recovery image in the last step of the instructions in the first post. I had Amon_RA Sapphire 1.3.2 recovery installed, and have already updated to HBOOT 1.76.2007 and Radio 6.35.10.18.

Now when I try to boot into recovery (Home+End) I briefly see a loading message at the bottom, then the screen goes blank.

All this because of Rogers and their stupid mandatory 911 fix, which I didn't even need in the first place because I was running Cyanogen 4.2.11 on Android 1.6 :mad:

I guess I will need to revert back to the old radio to get back into recovery?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
You need the Hero Amon_RA recovery for this radio and SPL.

Or you can downgrade if you want to go back to Cyanogen.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] RobbieTheStiff:
Ah, nevermind ... I found the problem.

I right-clicked and "Save As ..." on the link instead of actually downloading the file from Rapidshare.

The actual file size is 3442K, not 33K :p

Sorry about that, trying it again *FACEPALM*

edit: worked this time, on to flashing Cursorsense and getting my data service turned back on *THUMBS UP*
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lithiumion:
Recovery not working

I have a similar problem however all my files are the right size and match the MD5 hash.

The recovery starts and runs fine for about 5 seconds and then reboots. I've tried re-flashing everything to no avail. Even tried older versions of the recovery but they all do the same thing.

I also tried booting the recovery image from my drive directly using fastboot boot with the same result.

Any ideas?

[EDIT] So I downgraded via the instructions to the 1.33.2010 SPL and 3.22.20.17 Radio and recovery works, so it must be one those 2. But like I said the MD5 hashes check out so I'm lost.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alexanderpl:
I'm on

Can I just apply an update.zip with Engineering SPL (1.33.2010) and then go for 1.76.2007 ? Or is the goldcard mandatory for me ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
You can apply the update.zip for 1.33.2010, then continue on to the instructions. 6.35 radio first, then flash SPL.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alexanderpl:
Thank you ! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mydewji13:
I had the same problem! Fixed it by redownloading the recovery img from the MIRROR!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mydewji13:
Apologies for not reading through the entire thread. I was wondering what the point of upgrading your radio further would be. Are the newer radios better?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] httpftp123:
will it be a problem if i switch back to radio 2.22.19.26I and SPL 1.33.2005?

Currently my fastboot screen reads:

SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A ENG S-OFF H

HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP50000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

I Upgrade to 6.35.10.18 Radio and 1.76.2007 SPL, then Downgrade (Revert back to) 32A 3.22 Radio and SPL from this page.

But I want to switch back to the old radio and SPL I originally had.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ztringz:
Note to self... always, ALWAYS read notes.

CursorDroid says:

Magic 32A recovery will not work, will keep rebooting.

Ztringz says:

Why is he using Hero recovery? I shall amend his typo!

*Watches phone reboot, repeats process, watches phone reboot, repeats process...*

Ztringz reads note.

... oh...

*facedesk... repeatedly*
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] charnsingh_online:
Is the radio really 20mb coz the update file radio is like 8mb zipped
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
Unpack it. :P

Yes it is 20 mb..dont worry
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] charnsingh_online:
I get remote: image update error

1.33.2009spl

it worked now, reownloaded
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
Are you sure you are in the right directory (in cmd) ?

Did you unpack the radio?

Are you writing the right command?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] charnsingh_online:
It worked now, maybe wat i downloaded was corrupt
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] charnsingh_online:
I reboots while going into recovery
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
You need the Amon_RA Hero recovery flashed.

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img

Then the green Talk/Send key selects items instead of the trackball key.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] charnsingh_online:
Thanks all worked, but one more question does the screen go dark when we apply all this stuff, coz in my phone everything has become dark, less of whiteness, i can barely see the android boot logo, it is really dark
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lithiumion:
Recovery not working

I found my problem and I just wanted to post to make sure no one made the same mistake.

In the notes CursorDroid says Magic 32A recovery WILL NOT WORK!! IT WILL KEEP REBOOTING! and he means it. You MUST use the Hero recovery.

What confused me is the link to the Recovery says it is for the Hero only and if you are using the Magic to click over to another thread to get the Magic Recovery.

Ignore it. You need the hero recovery.

Thanks ztringz for helping me find the solution.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Remobero:
thnx for this simple guide cursordroid

since we upgraded to the new spl/radio and use hero recovery

does this mean we can flash hero roms on our magic like the dream/32b thing :rolleyes: ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] digitaljeff:
is there anyway to flash these without adb?? i run mac at home, and of course my uni's pc's are locked so i cant install the phone drivers here (adb installed fine however).

interested in trying our cursors rom..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
you pretty much require fastboot/adb.

But these things can be installed on a Mac, I'm sure of that.

Install the Android SDK to get Mac ADB working

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Fastboot is here

http://developer.htc.com/adp.html

Google is your friend. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] digitaljeff:
thanks cursor, sorry im just sittin in class right now, should have googled first.. thanks bud
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] digitaljeff:
so all worked well after installing android sdk on my mac, one thing you might want to include is that under mac you need to do ./ before all commands....

ie ./fasboot flash radio ect ect ect...

or ./adb devices

without the ./ infront of the command, you will get a file/command not found

if this has been mentioned previously then disregard...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dione1200:
Anny mirrors for the links in the first post, they are really, really slow, few bits/s. I need the ENG SPL 1.33.2010, The 1.76.2007 SPL HBOOT image and The 6.35.10.18 Radio Image; tahnk you for the effort.

Edit: Nevermind, it's workig fine now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MyWifeCar:
Hmmm... I'm wondering what is wrong now.

I've done the SPL and hboot, and reload the bootloader.

After I get the fastboot page, I just press "Menu" to shutdown.

After that I tried to boot up it was ok...I managed to go into the phone.

Now the problem is, I'm stuck at the "htc magic" page for a very long period after reboot...twice already. I just couldn't load into my phone anymore... I have to remove the battery to boot again..

Any idea what is wrong and how can I fix this? I have yet to install the cursorSense ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MyWifeCar:
Heheheh... I never pay attention. Will try again now...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MyWifeCar:
Help Needed - Non-stop rebooting

Hahah... ok, the problem is still there. I still having the "HTC Magic" boot page issue... It is still rebooting and rebooting.

I managed to re-run this in hboot page:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img

fastboot erase system -w

fastboot reboot-bootloader

~~with the correct recovery image.

So now what else can I do for it to boot into my phone, so that I can update to cursorSense...?

Anyone can help me please? Thanks in advance. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] charnsingh_online:
does the screen go dark when we apply SPL update, coz in my phone everything has become dark, less of whiteness,more of yellowness on vanilla rom everything is yellow instead of white like burned
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
So now you have flashed the radio, SPL and the Hero Recovery right?

It won't boot until you go into recovery mode and apply a 6.35 compatible ROM like CursorSense.

Download the CursorSense32A-1.2.2 (or the latest) to your SD card. Turn on your phone by holding Home and pressing Power. Then let the recovery mode screen sit for about 30 seconds (it takes a while to mount /sdcard for some reason), then Apply the update.zip through recovery.

Your phone should boot then.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
It really shouldn't...

Can you still get into FASTBOOT mode?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] charnsingh_online:
It boots good but white colour appears yellowish not pure yellow but like burnt white n sometimes display in roms, reboot fixes it n another reboot bringsit back, i can go in any mode
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paindoo:
Downgrade question

Dear Cursor

I would like to downgrade can I use 1.33.2005 SPL instead of 1.33.2010 SPL without any issue?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
Yes of course.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MyWifeCar:
I have re-do all the steps...

After some anxious moment... It worked just nice, and the ROM is very nice looking too..

Hahaha... Thanks for the nice ROM!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BrumBrum74:
Hello. Have searched around here and on google and tried the guide in this topic. Think I have a brick Magic, but want to ask for some help. Have tried with goldcard and sapphire image on root of card as well.

I have in fastboot:

Sapphire DVT 32A Ship S-off H

Hboot-1.76.0009 (sapp10000)

CLPD-10

Radio-6.35.08.29

dec 8 2009, 17:38:48

RUU

Thats all. Tried powering on phone with vol down and still the fast and with back arrow and power and still same.

Fastboot devices detect my phone with letters and numbers and all.

Whn I try fastboot command I get this:

C:\tools>fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.2010.img

sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... OKAY

writing 'hboot'... FAILED (remote: image type not support)

Have tried fastboot boot recovery and nothing happens.

Anybody have any hint what I can do? Tried all SPLs I've found here on XDA forum.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] adampollack:
WORKED LIKE A CHARM...with ONE hitch....

JUST SO THAT SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW WHO NEED TO:

I was able to FASTBOOT FLASH both the RADIO and HBOOT no problem to the updated versions for CusorSense to work. I got stuck at the RECOVERY file and even tried re-downloading it with no success of flashing it (Hero Recovery file). I immediately performed the downgrade procedures for all three files.

RADIO - Success

HBOOT - Success

RECOVERY - Success

At this point I was on the recovery file that CursorDroid used which allowed me to flash all three UPGRADED files successfully.

BOTTOM LINE: Make sure you begin this process with the same recovery file as Cursor has listed: recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H. This way you will be able to upgrade successfully to recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2

It appears that the RADIO and HBOOT files are not an issue, they flashed no problem.

:) HAPPY MODDING

Chance radio?

Can I just download your update-radio-32A-6.35.08.29-signed and flash it from recovery with radio in my signatur?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
Yep, go for it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Eukanaba:
Thx it worked..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Chillaxed:
could somebody PLEASE add me to MSN and help me out with this fastboot business? i can do the stuff with the recovery flasher but i don't understand what or how to get or use fastboot. someone please just add me to msn and help me out one on one.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bubba4:
At first I was an idiot and didn't see the diff between recovery-RA-sapphire and recovery-RA-hero, and I got caught in a bootloop, but once I dealt with that, I got the hboot and the radio in and got to the recovery ok.

However, once in recovery, I can't *click* for some reason. I can scroll up and down, but not click. I tried the call-answer button (green phone right?) and nothing there either.

Now I'm using a Sapphire, and then put the hero recovery on, but it's running, and not rebooting strangely or anything.

Is there a way I can install the Cursor ROM from adb or fastboot rather than the recovery? Or has anyone an idea why the recovery doesn't seem to let me run an update from SD card?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TheStrider:
Can't do a Bart backup

Found an issue that I can't resolve.

For some reason I can not perform a Bart backup. I've been running CursorSense for a week now no issues.

From the Recovery (Hero of course) I try a Bart Backup and get;

Error: Run 'bart' via adb!

If I try via ADB (#bart -s cursorsense) I get;

mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system/sd failed: Invalid argument

Unable to mount /system/sd ...

Anyone have this issue and know how to fix it???

Thanks.

EDIT: I've also tried via ADB to do a mount /sdcard before running Bart and I get the same error.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bubba4:
Thanks, this gave me the clue i needed to find the 'hero' recovery. Still boned on being able to click and choose the update.zip when in the recovery, but the downgrade and reinstall of myhero2.0.4 works a charm. I'm on the third time and getting quite fast at it. :)

I have an unmodified Rogers HTC Magic. Do I need to load the Amon_RA Hero recovery before flashing an engineering SPL (such as 1.33.2010)? What is the first step that I need to do in order to load the CursorSense 32A rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] am03ba:
Sorry for being noob, but is there anyway to do this without fast boot. coz windows 7 and the android drivers are not friends.

thanks in advance...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
I use Windows 7 and the fastboot drivers work fine.

Try installing HTC Sync to get fastboot working.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
I also use windows 7 and have no issues whatsoever regarding adb and fastboot commands.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] visitador02:
You have to root your phone first. I used the Relentless Rooter software (as shown on the sticky thread). Others have used the Unlockr's method (google and find his page, which have a video step by step on his tutorial). There are also other methods. Just research and read, read. I was a noobie for awhile and took me some time to understand what rooting meant.

Once you are rooted and can do recovery boot to Amon_RA's magic or saphire recovery, then you can use the recovery method to flash the engineering 1.33.2010 SPL. Once done that, then follow exactly what Cursedroid instructed on the first page (don't change the steps). Once done, then you can flash his CurseSense Rom (again follow exactly what he says on his first page instruction for that Rom).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] psycotic11:
oops! wrong thread sorry
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ztringz:
I ran into a bit of an issue with ADB drivers too, on Windows 7. It seemed that the adb devices command wouldn't pull up the device ID in Hboot or regular boot. However, after clearing all drivers for the device from system manager, and then plugging it in while the phone was in fastboot, I got it to work. Flashing the new Amon-RA Magic 1.5.2, the drivers worked (adb shell commands etc...). So try it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Lorennz:
Is there a way to upgrade my Rogers phone without having to use fastboot method?

For some reason I can not get the PC to USB connection. It doesnt get mounted. I think the phone's USB port is busted or something.

Can anyone give me an idea how to update this from the memory card?

I need to upgrade to Cursorsense ROM to get the data connection back.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
You're quite right with a few small errors.

Before doing anything make sure that adb recognizes your phone, you will need the sdk and correct drivers and the path system variable set.

Files you will need:

flashrec.apk

amon ra recovery 1.5.2H.img

1.33.20xx ENG hboot

1.76.2007 eng hboot

6.35.xx.xx radio

amon ra hero recovery / cursordroids modded amon ra magic h recovery

CursorSense 1.2.4

Once you get the adb to recognize your phone (check by typing adb devices in CMD while your phone is conected to usb and usb debugging enabled in settings) put flashrec onto your phone and backup your recovery and flash the amon ra 1.5.2H recovery.

then reboot into recovery mode ( HOME + POWER) there choose enable usb-ms , put 1.33.20xx hboot onto your sdcard.

At this point you will want to make a nandroid backup, yes its included in the recovery.

Choose apply zip from sd card and apply the hboot now.

Reboot the phone into fastboot (BACK + POWER)

go into CMD and navigate to the folder where you saved the new radio/spl and recovery.

(default is c: , if your files are on d:\android you will have to do 1. d: 2. cd d:\android )

then type the following

1. fastboot flash radio nameoftheradio.img

2. fastboot flash hboot nameofhboot.img

3. fastboot flash recovery nameoftherecovery.img

4. fastboot erase system -w

reboot into recovery

USB-MS toggle, put CS 1.2.4 on sdcard.

choose apply zip and apply the ROM.

enjoy :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Rugga:
I have 6.35.10.18, and want to go back to 6.35.07.29 can I just flash the radio from fastboot with out flashing hboot and recover?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
Yup. You wont lose any data either.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Lorennz:
Is there an alternative way to get this updated? Like flashing it from the memory card??

I can't get the USB working on my phone with the PC.

My second magic is fine. I got it updated in fastboot method.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alek.oboe:
I still can't figure out how to get this to work on a Mac. I've upgraded the HBOOT, installed the Android SDK and fastboot-mac, yet when I got into Terminal and type the commands I always get "command not found". I'm totally new to this, and new to using Terminal, so I think I probably didn't install something, or install correctly. I'm also not really familiar with how to 'navigate' somewhere in Terminal...all of the files are in this directory:

/Users/me/Documents/android/android-sdk-mac_86/tools/

When I type in that line, I get the message blah blah blah 'is a directory'

Thanks for the help! It's really frustrating...

my first post here after following XDA for 4 years lol. This was the longest ever process for me, root, getting everything done in the right order.....

But fun
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] visitador02:
It looks like CurseDroid modified Amon_RA's Saphire recovery and don't need to use the Hero Recovery. If so, maybe the instructions should be modified and link to modified Magic recovery added?
