my phone is an htc magic 32A, i am currently on old radio and spl and amon_ra recovery for sapphire.

my usb connection has been dead for a while now, but i can still charge my phone. i use terminal for most things and root explorer so no need for adb or fastboot as much. but anyways, is there a way to flash the new radio (6.35), spl, and recovery without fastboot?

what i know:

1. i can flash new radio & spl through update.zip files through recovery, i've done it before with old radio and spl many times fine.

2. i can flash new recovery using terminal with phone on, this is fine i do many times too.

however, this is the problem, correct me if i'm wrong, you have to flash all 3 at same time right? in recovery mode, i can only flash radio and spl no recovery, but in terminal i can only flash recovery, not the other two.

is there a way around this that i dont know about? is fastbooting the only way?

I tried flashing the new recovery first and then booting into it to flash radio and spl but that dont work hehe. i dont think i can flash new radio and spl first using the current recovery image since cursor said in his thread if you flash radio and spl, the phone will keep rebooting because of the wrong recovery. since i cannot fastboot, this will pretty much kill my phone since i wont be able to boot it up to flash proper recovery image.

-------------------EDIT

cursordroid is helping me with this problem. for those interested check out his how-to guide in the dev section as that's where he posted a reply to me. hopefully his solution works, will see tomorrow.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] d_ced:
Hi,

I've read a bit and i would like to share my understanding with you. Correct me if i'm wrong:

- The SPL is the boot code that allow the usage of fastboot commands and is there to actually boot the rom stored on the phone. As long as you have a correct SPL, you should be able to push a recovery-RA image trough USB into memory and boot with this code.

- The recovery image on the phone is a specific partition that is trigerred when you use the volume down and poweron button. I've got the impression that the vol-down and poweron instructs the spl to use the recovery partition. I'm not sure of this

If you are able to flash the recovery image (the Hero one) via terminal then from the pc using the command : fastboot boot recovery-RA-saphire-v1.5.2h, you shoudl normally get access to sdcard and flash the update_radio.zip then update_spl.zip.

I'm not sure of one thing: Does updating radio and updating spl should happen at the same time ? Can we do this by flash first the radio, reboot, fastboot boot then flash the spl ? As there is a reboot in between, wHat happens if the radio is newer than the spl ? Do we still have access to the fastoot mode ?

About your statement: "if you flash radio and spl, the phone will keep rebooting because of the wrong recovery." --> Where have you seen this ?

Cedric
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] NguyenHuu:
Thanks but I Know about fastbooting and do it often but The problem is I cannot use usb fastboot anymore. Theres something wrong with my devices usb port. Please read the thread title and my post once more. If i can use my usb then fast boot is easy, I wouldn't have made this thread haha.

About the last statement it can be found in cursordroids thread about upgrading the radio.

What I'm looking for is a way to use the other weather wallpaper as my animated wallpaper.

I see in the weather demo, weather conditions like windy and with snow which I think will never be the weather on my country / location.

Although I really like the animation and want to set it as my animated wallpaper. I think someone else might might want this too. And later on maybe we will be able to mod this like the circles animated wallpaper.

Has anyone found a way or would like to embark on this request?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] croquemor:
weather in start page ?

hi,

don't know if this can help, but ther is an app (Weatherpanel) that use changing wallpaper synchronized to the weather.

There is a thread on XDA, but cant find it back.

Don't know if this can be used in the start page;

[Shift General] TopRowGuywithFeet:
I was going to get on here and let everyone know that there "is" an x9500 selling on Amazon for $600, but by the time I got on here, it was purchased.

There were actually two, one sealed in the box, I bought that one!! So, I'm back!!!!! Not that this really means much to anyone, but I'm excited!! This time around I'm not messing around with the Shift until the warranty expires, except of course for liberating it.

SWEEETTT!!
[Shift General] Flanimal:
Welcome back.

I just got my Shift back from warenty repair and it has had a replacement screen fitted, so I am feeling like I have a brand new Shift again and share your excitement!
[Shift General] TopRowGuywithFeet:
WOE IS ME!

So, My Shift buying problems begin anew. The first time I tried buying one, it took 8 sellers before actually being shipped one. Now, on this second go around I have just been let down by the first. This is ridiculous.

Anyone know where I can get a new x9500?
[Shift General] labnotes:
Welcome to the club (again!) and here I thought nobody was trying to purchase the shift anymore. Way too outdated in my opinion but the phone function and having to be connected to the internet where ever you go makes my shift priceless.

I was planning on selling mine but honestly, I wouldn't part with it. =) I just need one more thing and that would be a mugen battery. Still planning on trying to install osx on it? =P
[Shift General] TopRowGuywithFeet:
Well, I've got one . . .

Yeah, well . . . I am unable to find another Shift, so I gave up. Which means I'm still selling the accessories, one of which is a Mugen 6600 battery. It will be back up in the marketplace soon.

I was successful at getting OS X to boot externally, but never internally. I have all the info any one would need to take up the project. I was going to try to install it to an SD card and just have it external all the time, but since I'm not able to find a Shift . . . meh.
[Shift General] TopRowGuywithFeet:
It's Like Riding a Roller Coaster

I found someone that is selling a Shift used - like new, so I'm giving it a try. I only wanted to buy new, but I think I can live with "like new" so long as it really is.

So, after I find out about the warranty, I'll figure out what sort of modifying/projects I want to subject it to this time around.
[Shift General] wovens:
Me! Me! Me!

I would be interested in your notes. Do you have to have a Mac for this or can we buy any Intel OSX dvd? Is it easy to find "drivers" or whaterver they are called in Mac terminology? Which parts/buttons/devices are not working under your OSX setup?

Thanks.
[Shift General] TopRowGuywithFeet:
My Simple Notes

You do have to have a working mac or working hackintosh (such as a Dell Mini) in order to create the USB Installer. You also have to have a retail OS X Install DVD. I was trying Snow Leopard (10.6). You should also register as a developer with Apple, for legal reasons.

I found most of the necessary kexts (drivers), to get stuff working. I got the basics working, screen, keyboard, mouse. I even got the USB Ethernet to work, but didn't have it long enough to try out anything else, i.e. bluetooth, wireless, etc. One of the biggest things that I had to overcome was screen resolution, but once I found a specific program, and ran it after installation, everything "fit" perfectly. Similarly, I was never able to get Chameleon to fit to the screen. When it came up it was just grey screen. So you have to knnow the button combinations to get it to do what you want. But I've seen other people using Chameleon on smaller screen resolutions, so I have to figure out the tweaks to Chameleon.

I'm getting my new Shift today, so depending on the status of the warranty I may or may not try this hack again. I'll let you know.
[Nexus One General] aniteshj:
Yea I hocked my N1 to the lucky bidder.

I don't really know what I didn't like about it. It felt truly like it wasn't the BEST smartphone experience I could have had. Everything just felt, weird? Slow? Uncoordinated? I don't know. Its a fine piece of machinery no doubt but I don't think I was ready for the inherent clusterfuck Android is.

And in all seriousness I probably will come back to this. But for now...

Its back to the Razr. Most reliable thing in existence.
[Nexus One General] Cuda1337:
Rofl, back to the Razr? Most reliable phone in existence? You've got to be F'n kidding me, right?
[Nexus One General] cartoonmonkey:
You can't be serious.. a RAZR? Welcome to 1999. Lol -That's like browsing the web with a potato.

It's ok, the Nexus one, two, three, four.. are all waiting for you.
[Nexus One General] JJackson9995:
There's no waving emoticon?

Well, enjoy I guess. No disrespect intended here, but if you're fine w/ a Razr... Then it obvious you really don't need, nor WANT, a smartphone. That's not meant to be an insult, but rather a simple observation. Smart phones are about everything OTHER than the phone portion in my mind. For me, that's the last thing my N1 does :D.

Good luck.
[Nexus One General] rjhay22:
That's sad... I sure hope it enjoying your razr, gotta admit its a very reliable phone, I once threw it at someone and left him unconscious. Helped me get out of a potential danger. LOL

The nexus one isn't for everyone I guess, specially the technology challenged :-)

[Nexus One General] bmj1086:
I'm not sure what you mean by slow and uncoordinated. Please elaborate. I have never seen a phone as quick and responsive as the N1. If you're a hardcore blackberry fan they you probably wouldn't like the N1 anyway.

I'm not going to insult you because of your opinion though but I would expect it from some of the children on XDA.

[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Android is a clusterfuck?! Have you ever used Windows Mobile?
[Nexus One General] svntsvn:
I bought the razr when it first came out and it was 600.00 on a contract. I had it two days, dropped it, and it landed on the corner hinge. The area that cracked is so thin that the screen came unattached and all i had was a keypad and speakerphone to make calls on. I had to send it back to motorola because at&t wouldn't insure it, and they lost it. I got it back 3 months later locked, and they wouldn't send me a code so I had to pay for one.

Never buy motorola without a swap plan in place, they lunch too hard on getting things done.
[Nexus One General] bmj1086:
Never buy a motorola phone regardless. They're terrible designers.
[Nexus One General] DMaverick50:
The nexus definitely feels a little unstable in many respects. But with its hardware and being presumably on the top of Google's mobile priorit list, this phone has more potential than any other phone out there. Its almost as smooth as the iPhone with the potential to put the iPhone to shame. Just gotta be patient and let google iron out the software. This baby's still a baby!

This ones for you Paul ; )

Error: run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore ' via adb
[Nexus One General] shmigao:
in Amon_Ra's thread about his recovery image there is already a discussion on exactly this issue. you can check there, whether you find any clues.

did you by any chance use apps2sd when you made the nandroid backup?

when you attempted to do the nandroid restore, did you format your sdcard before that (and thereby deleting partitions that were used for apps2sd before)?

--> means, was your sdcard partitioned when you made the backup, and is the sdcard now still partitioned?

if not, from what i understand the restore error will appear, because the file system structure is not the same now as it was when you made the backup

This one definitely does not work. Causes FC loop which requires some Home-button-timing to get out of.

This works, but is very slow, and breaks in landscape mode. (Not FC-breaks, but massive-distortion-breaks.

Again, FC loop. No leads on the cause, I'll fire up ADB later and try to track this down.

how are you testing it?

I dunno where to exactly ask this, but the Eris just recently got 2.1 leaked however one of the issues I have noticed that the gmail app is not loading pics for some reason.

Turns out, the issue may not be gmail per-say but something about the leaked update not allowing full access to the internet.

Do you have the Desire apk(including sense apks) to upload?

It is a problem with gmail http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2507 not with the leaked rom.

So,

I am trying to flash a custom ROM to my Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 using Ubuntu Linux 9.10 Karmic Koala.

There is a utility called slightly-dated Linux utility called HTCFlasher

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=399762

that has been reported to work in the HTC Diamond, and I feel it will work on the HTC Touch Pro 2. However, there is no Linux utility to HardSPL the phone and reach the tri-color bootloader screen.

Is there a JumpSPL or similar program I can load into the phones memory that will work on a Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 (Rhodium400)?

NOTE: I did successfully bring the phone to a black screen using VirtualBox (non-OSE) and executing RhodiumW-HardSPL_V1_10R3.exe on a Windows XP Guest OS. However, the ActiveSync loses connection and the VirtualBox fails to attach the USB device identified as "HTC Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" I gave up after playing with Virtualbox USB filters, fstab, etc...

Can anyone provide me with a working Manual-SPL that I can execute from the phone?

Or has anyone managed to HardSPL this phone without using a Windows Computer?
