ok now i have my CID but i cannot download QMAT as it doesnt exist on their website anymore its now PSAS and when i download that it wont open its infected with a virus called Thermidia.

if i ignore that it still wont open due to something like me not having persmissions or some garbage...

this is starting to get me angry... so difficult to do what i want to do!!! can i get QMAT anywhere but their website?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WinterKnights:
just tried http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod

however when i get to this part

Plug the phone into the computer

Reboot into fastboot by holding Back + Power (you should see three Androids on skateboards) and the words 'fastboot USB' in red

On the computer, open a command prompt

cd to the sdk/tools directory (we will assume the SDK is located in C:\android-sdk and the recovery file is in the root of the C:\ drive for the following steps

cd C:\android-sdk\tools

fastboot boot C:\recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img

it says cannot load c:\recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img

so that idea is gone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] linuxluver:
But the recovery has to be in the SAME directory as fastboot.....so you would enter:

fastboot boot recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img

No "C:\" <- This is the root of the C: drive and fastboot way down in [sdk]\tools won't be able to see it.

BTW, I have renamed the recovery to "ra152g.img". You could call it "a.img" if you wanted.....but whatever you call it, it must be in the same folder [android-sdk]\tools as fastboot.

The idea is fine. You just did it wrong. :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dk75:
heh... it's seems that rooting PerfectSPL Magic 32A is easier than normal one.

I've connected my phone to PC in storage mode only for save RECOVERY image and ROM image to SD card and everything else I've done from Android programs with phone jog dial.

No HTC Sync ever.

No ADB ever.

No FASTBOOT ever.

No CYANOGEN ever.

Easy peasy.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WinterKnights:
alright well im gonna hit they hay now been messin with it all day.

ill try the fast boot in the morning with it in the same directory, i swear the guide says to have it just in C drive. but ill see how i go. the old htc touch HD was so much easier!! haha

once ive gone through it ill put another post up with everything i did that didnt work and what did work as well as any other things i found so if anyone goes searching they should find this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] olearyp:
IIRC, you don't really need QMAT. You need to reverse all the bytes in the hex string. So take your original CID (this is just a shorter example) and put it in groups of two characters:

1A 3F FF 63 83 9B 5F

Then copy them back down, starting with the last one:

5F 9B 83 63 FF 3F 1A

And you should be done. I was getting all ready to do this and then flashrec came out, so I haven't tested this, but based on my observations and the description of the QMAT function in question this is all it really does. Kinda silly to download QMAT for that if you ask me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Chillaxed:
one thing that might be throwing you off (i know it took me forever to figure it out) is using fastboot. download the android SDK and to use fastboot just CD into the directory from windows CMD and put all the images in the \tools directory so you can just call them from fastboot really easily. if you just click the fastboot file it will open and then close, so go "cd \Downloads\android-sdk-windows\tools\" (or wherever you have it located, i just downloaded it and unziped it into downloads) and then from there you can just start issuing fastboot commands, and whatever files you are calling make sure that file is in the \tools directory with fastboot. EASY!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WinterKnights:
ok guys so i did this...

cd:\androidsdk\tools (this is where fastboot and the img is which i called magic.img)

on the sd card ive got update-cm-4.2.13-signed and DRC83_base_defanged

i turn phone off and get it into bootloader and it displays fastboot us.

so i cmd to cd:\androidsdk\tools

type : fastboot boot magic.img

response is: downloading 'boot.img' ... FAILED (remote: not allow)

what now???
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WinterKnights:
what im doing atm is the way to root the phone yea???? or is this how u put a new rom on? maybe ive gone too far... ive still got to downgrade from 1.6 to 1.5 before i can do anything yet..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WinterKnights:
this im back at the start, ive gotten no where, so ill have to figure out what to do from the word go and what do download.

ive got a vodafone 32b 1.6 donut

1 i need to find a rom that will work with this phone is australia thats a cupcake 1.5

2. i need to downgrade to it (somehow)

3. once downgraded i need to root the phone, which is the procedure ive been doing i think?

4. once rooted i can get a new rom onto it... not sure which one or how to do that but ill figure that out when i get to it...

atm im just struggling to get it down to 1.5 and no idea what im downgrading it too.. like what rom can i use???

i feel completely dumb because this seems like it should be simple...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LayZeeDK:
Sorry to hear that you didn't succeed yet. I know how frustrating that is :(

Just to be clear: Have you succesfully created a gold card? Have you downloaded this:

renamed it to SappIMG.zip and copied it to the gold card? After this (you should also have a 1.33.2005 Engineer's SPL or similar on the other memory card) do this step:

No need to try booting to Amon_RA's Recovery ROM before this, at you do not have root yet.

Good luck again
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nicknowsky:
I got the exact same SPECs as you, and I used the UNLOCKR 1-Click ROOT and it workes perfectly. It is a fantastic method, very straight forward, just downgrade to 1.5 and ROOT from there it doesnt matter what carrier u have, just follow the links and directions
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WinterKnights:
i cant create the gold card as i get stuck once ive got my CID.. after that im lost.

as for the one click i was unable to do that also due to the htc sync program not working on my windows 7 pc.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Super Jamie:
Dude what exactly are you trying to achieve? I have a Vodafone AU HTC Magic and I have had none of these dramas.

The phones come from Vodafone with slow old Cupcake and no updates - even brand new ones, my girlfriend bought one last weekend. They'll do one OTA update but that's still Cupcake. You can use the Instant Root application to root those phones, I did that for mine and it worked fine.

If you want a Donut ROM with root, you're better just downloading a new ROM which already has root in it. nk02's Donut ROM is the official HTC download with root and nothing else. I would recommend Amon_RA's Donut ROM as it includes other cool stuff like overclock, tether support and busybox. I'm trying Dwang's Donut ROM at the moment which seems a tad faster than Amon_RA, tho a little less stable and 3D games don't work. Take your pick.

The wiki explains concisely how to fastboot a recovery. Basically get the SDK from Google, unzip it, download fastboot from the HTC website and put it in the "tools" folder along with Amon_RA's recovery image. Put the ROM you want as a zipfile in the root of your SDcard. Get your phone to the skateboard screen and plug it in. On your computer, open a command prompt and change to the tools directory, type fastboot boot recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img, perform an erase, choose upgrade and pick the zipfile on the SDcard. Done.

If you just want to run Donut, you don't need to touch the SPL so forget about that. If you want 2.0 or 2.1 then you need to install an Engineering SPL. I haven't bothered with this as I haven't needed to yet and too many people seem to brick their phones doing it. However this collection is where to start. My phone is HBOOT-1.33.0004 (SAPP10000) : Sapphire PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G : CPLD-10 so I'm pretty sure Engineering SPL 1.33.2004 is the right one.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bsinc1962:
I believe what he's trying to achieve is the same thing lots of people on the board are trying to get and that's to root a Magic that has the latest Rogers ROM installed. So far no one has been able to crack its 1.76.0010 SPL
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WinterKnights:
i already have the donut rom i got told i have to go back to cupcake to root the rom.

so ive been trying to do that but nothing i use will work. it all fails at some point during the process.

all im trying to do at this stage is go back to cupcake.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] phantommusik:
Downgrade

Sounds like you are having a rough time of it WinterKnights!

If you are still having issues with downgrading to 1.5 (which is what I'm understanding from the thread so far... correct me if I'm wrong) then what you will need is the SAPPIMG.nbh file. Which can be found by going to the cyanogenmod website and clicking on wiki! I'd post the link for you but I'm brand new and can't do that yet! It's under the "Files you'll need" section labeled as COC10 build.

Once you have this file downloaded just save it into the root of a freshly formatted SD card and boot into fastboot (Vol down + Power)! Just wait awhile for it to automatically You might have to click the trackball to get it to update. If it gives you an error like 'main version is older' or 'model ID incorrect' then it will have to be the gold card method to root that bad boy... which is pretty rough. If it does go that direction just make sure that you follow the instructions EXACTLY as Unlockr has them posted. Every little thing he has in there is important (That genius!!!).

Let me know how it goes!!!!

Good luck!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WinterKnights:
yeah the sapimg and doing the fastboot update doesnt work. ive tried id is too old or whatever.

gold card is the way im suppose to do it but ive followed the instructions and dont understand how to get the cid to go backwards???

every guide says download qmat, but that no longer exists.. someone needs to write a new guide.. i feel stupid and i know im not.. ive done these types of things heaps of times just this one isnt working and my brain isnt understanding!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] phantommusik:
qmat

Qmat has been replaced by PSAS. If you'll notice at the top of the screen on that sight it says that PSAS is QMAT's successor. Just use PSAS. It does the same thing. From there on the Unlockr's directions should be fairly straightforward.

Good luck!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] phantommusik:
One more thing!

Be very careful during this process! I just went through this process for the first time earlier this week because I had to replace my phone due to bricking it last week. This process has you updating the SPL as well as the radio image. Make sure that you do your research! If you feel that this may be beyond you then I would not recommend continuing any further!

I wish you luck though!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WinterKnights:
psas doesnt work already tried it. comes up with errors and my pc says it has virus's. even if i turn off my anti virus before downloading it still says the same thing.

[HD2 General] twintin:
hi guys new to this as had iphone previously :( when i go to my settings screen im getting the calendar, people, & music icons twice even if i delete the additional shortcuts it just re writes them? any ideas how i can stop this? also my navi panel has lost it's icon and i just a generic white & blue folder icon now. All help appreciated :)
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
What programs have you installed? Did you do any tweaking? Did you flash a new ROM? If you could give more information about your phone and when the problem first occurred it would be easier for the experts on the forum to diagnose the situation.

Did you try doing a soft reset yet?
[HD2 General] twintin:
flashed to 1.48wwe and have duttys task manager and the official sim contacts upgrade but that was put on after the ROM upgrade. the additional icons are just plain blue & white with the names underneath, but even when i delete the additional shortcuts they re appear!
[HD2 General] Archer:
Get this from the cabs link in my signature...

Touch X Permanently Delete Reappearing HTC Icons.cab

Install that and then use file explorer (or similar app) and go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. You will see the shortcuts in there - just delete them and they won't come back.

Hope this helps :)
[HD2 General] twintin:
worked a treat :D thanks guys

I love your rom. I just have one qualm. Is there a way to customize the number of home screens. I know i can download a different launcher with this option but i love the old style launcher. IS there a way to change the number of home screens without downloading a new launcher?
[G1 Android Development] sbdags:

[G1 Android Development] Aznneedlovetoo:
And that didn't work. =(
[G1 Android Development] :
Don't you just love people that give decent information about there problems! I'll let you all know when I find someone :D

What exactly didn't work? All it is is a simple metamorph that does nothing but replace the .9.png image for black. Any chance of any information or am I going to have to play Mystic Meg again?
[G1 Android Development] Brian_Fr:
Hey I've got a problem with the power control widget, can you help me (see the sreenshot to see what I mean)
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
We all have that ;) You can either wait for a fix or use a Metamorph which alters the Power Control Widget.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Sorry Bro my bad on the Swap, I saw that and knew you did Swap that way but when I did that it was late and I was tired and maybe I hit compache instead cause when I checked it in terminal I only had like 24MB compared to what my Part is at. But just did swap via spareparts and its working. thanks. keep up the awesome work.
[G1 Android Development] davil124:

[G1 Android Development] noahgray:
Hey, I installed this with the Google apps but I don't have the three buttons at the bottom of my screen, just the grey pane that you pull up to launch apps, like the one in 1.5 and prior. How do I get the advanced one? Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] koreancanuck:
Are you talking about the ADW launcher? Just download it off the market.
[G1 Android Development] Shrivel:
After a day of running this ROM, I can safely say it's a keeper. I don't know what Ben does with his ROMs that make them so much better than all the others based on the same code base, but there's really no comparison.

I AM GETTING BETTER BATTERY LIFE WITH SuperE than I did on the last SuperD: I pulled my phone off the charger yesterday morning at around 10AM and when I went to bed at 11PM, I still had 90%. Granted, I didn't do much with my phone yesterday beyond checking e-mail, Twitter, and texts, but still...

Here's my setup for those that want to compare:

Came from SuperBad's latest (fast, but a battery hog even underclocked).

Wiped all except my EXT partition.

Installed ROM and Google package.

Ran Fix UID mismatches.

Skipped initial Google sign in and did that through the market.

Restored data for my apps using Titanium. BTW, all my apps showed up after first boot. Had to uninstall a couple apps, but for the most part everything was fine

Restored my MMS/SMS/APNs via Titanium.

Left most settings at 'default' except for: screen time out (2 minutes), and turning ringer to silent.

In Spare Parts:

Turned 'End Button Behavior' to 'Sleep'

Turned on Compcache and set it to 24MB.

Checked Launcher in Memory.

Using SetCPU, set Max to 556800 and left Min at 122880. Checked 'Set on boot' and that's it.

My phone is as fast, if not faster, than any other ROM I've tried for basic tasks (like I said, I didn't do CPU intensive stuff or any app switching, yet.) CacheMate shows 81-82MB free after clearing caches.

The other thing that I noticed after using it yesterday and today is that my phone is almost always COOL TO THE TOUCH, which it has not been in many ROM iterations.

Unless some crazy instability comes up, I'm sticking to this one for a while.
[G1 Android Development] koreancanuck:
Holy! That is some crazy battery life! I probably do less things than you do (no 3G since no data plan). Probably just a few short calls and messages and it left me with around 50% battery.
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
That's pretty crazy. I'm flashing this right now, coming from the latest SuperBad as well. Hopefully I get some results like that. :D
[G1 Android Development] Shrivel:
Took it off charger at 7AM this morning. Have been using it more steadily today: went to church and ran CadreBible while there. Went out to lunch and shopping, doing normal e-mail, twitter, etc, as well as three or four Foursquare checkins (GPS active for that) and other reading.

At 3PM, I'm at 83%.

you have to flash gapps on your own. Recommended to flash rom boot up enable apps2sd then reboot to recovery to flash gapps so the all go to ur sd.
[G1 Android Development] Warsyndicate:
this is a known bug with cyanogen's 5.0.7 stable wich this is based off of. You will also see that sometimes your usb mount connection will not open up so just reboot.

[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
Been running this all day today, and I'm at 51% battery. I've been texting throughout the day, did some web surfing, and had wifi on for a little bit. This ROM is pretty good. I'll be sticking with it for a little while. :)
[G1 Android Development] legend221:
Super E is definitely living up to expectations.

Have installed HelixLauncher and have been more than satisfied with the replacement :D

Ben you have definitely improved the battery drain issue for your Eclair release.

With later releases one can only hope that aspect to get better if at all possible.

You always seem to astonish us, amaze and innovate on a constant basis.

Donation coming ASAP! And of course many thanks for your hard work for the G1/Mytouch scene .
[G1 Android Development] Wilgert:
The only thing I am missing is the 'Detailed call history' included in SuperD. The one that shows you all missed/placed calls with a certain contact.
[G1 Android Development] ultraviolet74:
I'm a big fun of your ROM, actually I'm still using your Super D 1.11 the best donut out there...

I'm looking forward to try this Super E but I really would like to know what works and what doesn't...

I can imagine you are still working hard but there's no detailed information on your web site, (changelog, releases etc...) I hope you will update soon...

Thank you again for your work...
