You should be able to flash anything you want through fastboot. Just plug in the phone to your computer when in fastboot. It will say 'fastboot usb' instead of just 'fastboot'. At that point you can bring up a command prompt. You'll have to have the SDK in order to do this but like I said... should be able to flash anything you want without having to mount the sd card. Make sure that you find the commands that you need to flash whatever you are flashing... otherwise things could go wrong... or... more wrong than they have. One other option you have is booting into recovery and bringing up ADB. As long as your recovery supports ADB. I know that Cyanogen's and Amon_RA's do. Once again - very important to use the appropriate commands. There should be a thread around here somewhere as to how to flash radio, SPL, and recovery from fastboot or ADB. Good luck!

Hope this helps!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] xaueious:
My bad. Didn't mention that either in that post. I mentioned in in my other post about sd cards.

I'll quote myself:
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Cronner:
xaueious > those are for thc dream? do you know which ones to use for magic?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] xaueious:
If you have a 32A, I don't know if HSPL works for you or not. That's why I recommended flashing to 1.76.2007. You could either find a similar RUU, or autosign the files you want flashed yourself and then flash as update.zip.

I need to look up more info about the 32B Magic. I thought HSPL would work but now I'm not 100% sure. I heard bad things about changing to 1.76 SPL if you have a 32B. You might be able to RUU back to a 32B hboot afterwards. Check those threads.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Cronner:
I have a 32a how do i flash 1.76.2007 when fastboot can't? can i use this method and then do you have a nice guide like the one you wrote really don't wanna brick, tnx.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] xaueious:
Just use an official rom update file, such as 3.04.401.2. You may need to make a goldcard. If you install this RUU, you should be able to use the 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' command.

I'm not sure if that's the best one to use right now. From what I understand about 3.04.401.2, you can use flash_image from the ROM right away to install a custom recovery. Then it's just a matter of downgrading back down.

Sorry if I've been confusing. I have been trying to adapt my Dream instructions for your Magic and I didn't think some things through. That's all the help I want to give you. If you are still confused I suggest going to Cyanogenmod IRC where they can help you properly since you seem confused.

seems too hang when i try to push the filer to the phone :(

so stuck again
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] xaueious:
Clear your cache partition.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Cronner:
cannot clear dalvik-cache with recovery

/cache # ls

Any "easy" way to get it completly back to original rom from nandroid backup when it wont use fastboot?

Just need the non rooted rom, that would be fine :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Cronner:
anyone else have any ideas i'm going crazy?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] xaueious:
fastboot erase cache
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Cronner:
cleared cache didn't help either, still habgs when I try to push the file :( is their any sure way to get back the nandroid backup?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] xaueious:
No DON'T try to force mount the sd-card via kernel command lines. I was getting random reboots when I forced the sd card to be enabled, and this is the last thing you want when you are doing as critical as flashing a radio and hboot.

Don't bother with the sd card at all. Leave it out of your phone.

First of all make sure you actually have a 32A device. Or else don't think about changing to 1.76.X hboot.

Easier way:

Doesn't RUU update work? If you have a 32A phone, you can run the 3.04 TEST RUU with a goldcard if you do not have a phone from the region.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=625108

If you do not have a phone to read your SD Card to make the gold card with, THIS IS WHEN YOU USE THE KERNEL COMMAND LINE, to force your phone to see the SD card's CID. This is to bypass the region signature check so that you can use the RUU.

After you install 3.04, follow that thread's instructions to get root back.

Anyways the difficult method I mentioned:

To flash the files, push the files the your cache directory or some other place where you have free space to do so, then flash either using recovery's update.zip menu selection, or using the flash_image command from within the console.

For example:

adb shell mount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /sdcard

This will make your recovery think that your sd card has been mounted to the /sdcard folder. Then you can run update.zip as long as they are placed in the mtdblock4 (which is now /sdcard).

If this process hangs maybe consider changing 'mtdblock4'. This was for my Dream's cache partition. You can use any of the internal flash memory partitions for this purpose. I used cache because I had that partition free and it had enough space to do what I needed.

I'd also think it makes sense to flash the recovery and hboot before the radio, as the radio flash asks for a restart after the update.zip package containing the radio is applied.

Hboot and radio need to be flashed TOGETHER if you are coming from HBOOT1.33.X and radio 2.x or 3.x! If you restart in between you will most likely brick!

This method is more difficult because making a gold card is pretty trivial and you can screw up your phone as you flash the files one by one. RUU updates are harder to screw up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] d_ced:
Hi,

Thanks for this update... .but i'm back to square one.

I've read carefully this post and the goldcard method makes use of rom1.zip of the RUU. This rom1.zip does not contain any updates of the radio nor the hboot. These image files are store in the rom.zip where nobody is mentioning it in the thread.

As the goal is to move to hboot 1.7xxx, i've got the impression that we miss our goal.

Ced
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] xaueious:
Well you misunderstood. It says 'if' you have 1.76.2007 just flash rom1.zip. Since you don't have 1.76.2007 start from rom.zip.

rom.zip is correct. Rename to sappimg.zip and flash it with a goldcard. There might be a reboot after. This is safe. Then do the same with rom1.zip, renaming it to sappimg.zip and flashing that after you reboot (actually I am not sure if you even have to rename the file).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] d_ced:
Hi xaueious,

Another question: WOuld you update the recovery img with hero one before starting the update (via goldcard method) of rom.zip then rom1.zip ????

Cedric
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] d_ced:
Hi,

This post to give you a quick update.

I've been able to upgrade my HTC to the latest version of SPL and 1.76 and radio 6.35.08 while having the sdcard issue.

Method

I've used the glodcard method as suggested by xaueious to update the RUU 3.04.401.2

The method can be found there --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=572683

The RUU can be found here http://xdaforums.com/printthread.php?t=625108&pp=50&page=3

You need an SD card reader in your computer

Important Remark

Take really care to download the version 3.04.401.2 and nto the version 3.05 or you end with an android and a perfected SPL with no way to install another recovery version.

The procedure

- Run the RUU file.

- When the HTC window open,Go to the %temp% directory and search for the latest directory created

- Copy rom.zip and rom1.zip to a directory of your choice

- Once copied, you may cancel the HTC window

- Create a goldcard, plug it into your computer and copy into the microsd the file rom.zip

- Rename rom.zip by SAPPIMG.zip

- Switchoff the phone

- Restart the phone holding volume down and power-on

- The phone will find SAPPIMG.zip and start flashing.

- WHen done, the phone will restart and start looping. ---> No Worries. You cannot use the fastboot mode as you are in SPL 1.76.008.

- Insert your goldcard in your computer, delete SAPPIMG.zip, copy rom1.zip

- Rename rom1.zip ---> SAPPIMG.zip

- Switchoff the phone

- Restart the phone holding volume down and power-on

- The phone will find SAPPIMG.zip and start flashing.

You are now with SPL 1.76.008 and radio 6.35.08

Next steps are:

- Go into fastboot mode (back + power-on)

- Issue the command: fastboot oem enableqxdm 0... it says 'OKAY'

- start the phone normally

- copy into the sdcard the recovery image recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.3.1.img

- adb shell

- flash_image recovery /sdcard/image recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.3.1.img

- reboot

- copy update-hboot-1.76.2007-signed.zip into the sdcard

- reboot in recovery mode (home + power-on)

- flash zip from sdcard (wait a bit to let the system mount the sdcard)

- select the update-hboot-1.76.2007-signed.zip

- Reboot system now.

You are now using the SPL 1.76.007 and radio 6.35.08 which allow fastboot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Cronner:
Have tried RUU with no luck, it just freezes, any other ideas anyone?

can't make a goldcard "03. Use adb to run this command: adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid" fails

but it seems to find SAPPIMG.zip anyway to put all in that file?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] albpog:
Hi Cedric.

I have the same problem but i have a 32B Mytouch.

Do you think the above steps would apply to my version. I read later on that only if you have a 32A you get the radio update (that you have the link). What about the 32B. What radio should i update (while following your step by step)?????

Please man as i'm going crazy trying to find some clear guides online but it seems mission impossible
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] yuraka:
Hi Cronner,

Did you managed to recover sdcard access? I have very similar problem after MIUI upgrade two days ago.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] magiccooupons:
TigerTael, how do you get into Fastboot? I've run the program from my laptop but it just closes after a while.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sunmoon1128:
any solution to that now?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] reynierpm:
Hi, I'm running in the same problem. I have Clockworldmod Recovery 4.0.0.5 from Carz and CM 7.1 both from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1011384. I can't mount the SD card :-( not from Android, not from Recovery. At recovery I get this error:

and really don't know how to solve it. I try to read the SD in another phone and it reads OK without problem so SD isn't the problem, also I did format from Windows as FAT32 but still having the same problem, any help on this? I'm freaking out :confused:

Cheers and thx in advance
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Fss_Of_Death:
Hey, I had the same problem and I solved it when I realized my MicroSD card was formatted in NTFS reformatted it in FAT32 and it worked like a charm. I'm a noob here so maybe I'm beside the point but seems to me it's worth checking before trying more complex solutions.

Cheers
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lzzar:
I had the same problem but i tried this and it worked for me.

Boot into xRecovery and select <partition tools> then < unmount sdcard> wait about five seconds and then select mount SDcard. Reboot and see if it helped:-)
[Hero CDMA General] bikcmp:
Hey guys, I'm creating a rom, but I have to be honest: I need ideas on what to include. All I know is I'm thinking about basing it off Gumbo 1.5c (The FASTEST rom out there), because I hate slow phones. Also thinking of names for it...how's Pancake sound? Fits in with cupcake, donut, etc...

What do you guys want in a ROM?

What bootscreen is good for it? Should I use the N1 boot screen? If anyone feels like making one, I'll be happy to include it!

Which apps are a must for any ROM?

Is Pancake a good name for it?

Thanks for answering in advance, I want to try to make a ROM adjusted to what the fourm would want.

After I get some responses, I'll create the ROM.

Jason(BikCmp)
[Hero CDMA General] bcnice20:
See if you can get mobile network sharing to. Work without the race condition
[Hero CDMA General] KBizzle:
Can you include a spoon, a pair of scissors, a fish scale, and a can opener.....?
[Hero CDMA General] REDFOCZ:
Well what consider a must have is the quickboot app and the mount usb app that gbill included in his roms..... of course wireless tether , also gbill's custom kernal

Other then those everything else I use is in the market
[Hero CDMA General] prodigy2m:
Check this out.

I would consider making almost the same as stock ROM with all the apps and features. But here are some changes to be made:

1) Theme, here is my old phone and developers create much better stuff for it than any developer for Hero.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=619980

Also, include new sense UI look (Not like the stock). Dark Black background always good.

- Include icons from 2.1 Android.

2) Youtube App, needs to be fixed

3) Make sure Flash works in Browser (Most of the ROMS, FLASH works half way--go to HTC.com and see if shows the page)

4) Include all of the hacks for speed as well as APP2SD.

Okay, great... That's all for now. I will let you know if I think of anything else.
[Hero CDMA General] bikcmp:
Okay, well, I will try to get the icons for android 2.1, apps2sd will be enabled, the youtube app I will look at, but I'm not sure what I can do about that. I can't do anything about flash, as the hero includes flash player lite, not 10. I will include it when there is flash player 10 for android, but for now I can't do anything for it.
[Hero CDMA General] Esclav0:
+1 and a George Foreman Grill if there is space left over!
[Hero CDMA General] bikcmp:
This is for a phone, would be a great idea for a grill though!
[Hero CDMA General] bikcmp:
Okay, thanks, I will make sure to include it.

Question: Optimized Sense UI or stock home?
[Hero CDMA General] honda931:
If you want a grill, just run wireless tether for awhile, flip over your phone and cook right on the back of the battery cover. It'll be hot enough. :D
[Hero CDMA General] bikcmp:
That is how I got phone #2 :P
[Hero CDMA General] honda931:
my old iphone 3g did the same thing when i ran pdanet. and my macbook...wow that thing gets really really hot. Im sure frying some eggs would be entirely possible.
[Hero CDMA General] bikcmp:
Okay guys, I'm going to start making it, just missing two things I need to know: Should I include HTC sense and also, what bootscreen should I do?
[Hero CDMA General] aauussttiinn88:
do the digital rain boot that one is fun, would go with sense it has better widgets
[Hero CDMA General] bikcmp:
Okay, I am going to include Sense UI, and have digital rain as the boot screen. Thanks, and I hope to see you test the ROM. I would expect to be done in about 1 hour. Again, thanks for helping me out.
[Hero CDMA General] derekstory:
i second digital rain but leave out sense.
[Hero CDMA General] bikcmp:
Almost forgot guys! What should the name be? Is pancake a good name?
[Hero CDMA General] bikcmp:
How about this: I make two versions. One with sense and one without. I have to tell you though, that the version of sense I'll put on will be optimized and fast.

:)
[Hero CDMA General] prodigy2m:
Make sure it's a new theme Sense UI ... with squared buttons on the bottom not round! ;)
[Hero CDMA General] bikcmp:
I will try, but I need someone to do themes. Also I want to push a initial release out, coming very soon, maybe if I get a theme designer I'll be able to include it.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] Aaron J:
I two texts from AT&T telling me they upgraded my data plan "as a courtesy" as was previously reported on by Engadget. I have been swapping out my SIM card and placing it in my old K790a and changing the data plan back to the $10 per month one. However AT&T keeps changing it back a day or two later.

What I'm interested to find out is if I make the switch just before the billing cycle ends, and it sticks through to the next one, will I be charged 10 bucks or not.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] josefcrist:
you should switch to tmobile they are cheaper and they dont change your plan on you.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] killerskincanoe:
true.. but you won't ever get 3g on ur expo if you do that :/

and yes.. they finally got my plan upgraded on me too! bastards! i had it cheap for soooooooooo very long.. i guess it's sorta fair.. but the fact that they sent me the text at 4:48 in the AM was very uncool. And prompted me to call and ***** out customer service lol

[G1 Android Development] Nushio:
This mod is heavily based on Cytown's Modded Phone APK, available here.

I made this for myself, but wanted to share with the world.

The main features are:

* Everything Cytown's Phone Mod has, plus:

* "Shake" Phone to answer

* "Shake" Phone to mute calls.

Todo list:

* "Shake Settings", Low, Medium and Strong shakes.

* Hang Call & Send SMS automatically with predetermined text. ("I'm in a meeting, will call back asap").

Download (Fixed urls!):

* Eclair Phone APK.

* Donut Phone APK.

For installing:

Debugging this app: [New!]

I've gotten a lot of feedback regarding the strength required to have the phone detect the shakes.

The original code was made by Mathew Wiggins, and I've modified it to add 4 different 'shake settings', but I've noticed it isn't as reliable as Mathew's code...

I've uploaded the source, and a very simple 'sample apk' that you could try. For best results, use adb logcat.

A picture's worth a thousand words, and while I can't actually take a screenshot of me shaking the phone, and don't feel like recording a video...

New ideas and reasons why my ideas are terrible are welcome.

Like my work? Buy Cytown, Cyanogen and/or the OpenEclair team a beer! They deserve it.
[G1 Android Development] Nushio:
I'll be posting a Changelog here. To know what version you're running, go to Settings -> Call Settings. It should display a line like "Advanced Settings v26.1-Sv3".

v26.1 is the Cytown version I based it off. Sv3 is the "Shakey version" you're currently running.

The download link, just leak from first post.
[G1 Android Development] shadowch31:
I would like to be the first to ask for this on donut, sounds like a quality app and the todo list if you manage them all will make this amazing :)

Also on a side note this should be in the apps & games section :)
[G1 Android Development] Nushio:
I just forked Phone_Donut and will start the Shake to Answer and Shake to Mute later for it.

As for the "Hang up call and send sms"? I was thinking on adding a separate slider to send that on Eclair, but Donut has no sliders. Ideas?

Edit: Oh, and thanks funbacon for posting the link. :)

I'd appreciate it if a Mod reviewed my account soon :P
[G1 Android Development] shadowch31:
I've never used an Eclair rom so no idea what the sliders are but was thinking maybe an on screen option rather than the answer option some modded phone.apk's have. Or possibly menu option?

Maybe someone with more Eclair experience would be better placed to answer this for you?
[G1 Android Development] thenameismax:
Holy crap this would be pretty sick to have on my phone. So, I will be the second to ask for it.

And as for the slider. There is already two sliders on the lock screen(unlock and mute phone) and as well for the answer call screen ( answer and and mute) So what exactly are you asking about the slider on the eclair rom?
[G1 Android Development] Nushio:
As for the Apps and Games? I posted this here, since that's where Cytown's Modded Phone app thread was, but if someone could move it, I wouldn't mind.

And yeah, I was thinking something along the lines of holding the "hang call" button 3-4 secs, but I'm not yet sure if that's even possible.

I could do on screen buttons as well.

The slider on Eclair ? I was thinking on moving the hang up call a few dozen pixels down, and placing another "hang call & sms" slider slightly above the other hang call slider, but ideas are welcome.
[G1 Android Development] shadowch31:
R

Your right, my bad :D

Add [Mod] to your title, stop anyone else thinking its an app :o
[G1 Android Development] smtrejo:
I'd like to install it but I'm on MghtyMax ROM (1.5 I think), too bad :(
[G1 Android Development] Nushio:
Added Donut Build. It is currently untested, so please report any issues.

I guess I'll need to buy a secondary Android device to test my stuff, since I can't go around flash CyanogenMod to OpenEclair every time I want to try something new :P

Edit: I'll see what I can do about Cupcake, but I think Cupcake's really pushing it, I'd rather not maintain several branches for a mod. I'd rather add more things than spend my time porting to Donut, Cupcake, etc.
[G1 Android Development] MrLBrick:
Hey Nushio i would more than willing to use my Droid as a test subject for dount builds, saving you the hasslle in buying a new device.

Nice mod dude keep up the good work will post back any bugs or ideas.
[G1 Android Development] Nushio:
Hey MrLBrick,

You use your Moto Droid with Donut? Or did you mean "Droid" as in "Android" in general?

Anyways, I got "Shake to Mute" up and working on Eclair, will port to Donut later tonight.

It is currently possible to both "Shake to Mute" and "Shake to Answer" at once, though Mute has a lower sensitivity level. I'd recommend you only select one.

I'll work on letting the user pick his sensitivity setting before going into "Hold Hang Call button to send sms"
[G1 Android Development] oMszKikiIzWavyo:
Do You Have Any Screen Shots
[G1 Android Development] Nushio:
Uhm, What would I screenshot? The Settings panel?

I can't actually screenshot "shaking" to answer or mute. And I currently haven't done any actual modifications to the phone screens.
[G1 Android Development] oMszKikiIzWavyo:
O Okay And By The Way This Is A Wonderful App

Keep Up The Tremenduos Work
[G1 Android Development] MrLBrick:
Droid in general, sweet dude let us know and ill download and do some more test for ya
