Assuming you haven't already accidentally flashed the wrong SPL on it, you should be able to flash a 32B Engineering SPL (2005) in order to fix the perfected ROM, and grab the RAmon-Recovery 1.62H. But its a Magic 32B which is pretty common (despite H or G), though haven't seen a 3.xx radio on a 32B though...

Probably wait to see if someone follows up on the thread.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Whoa, you better read up on that one, I mean it, it has a DVT board not the PVT be very careful. Most all bricked I believe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] allanwinckler:
Thanks,

Yes I bricked one.. this is the second i'm trying.. :eek:

what is the diference from PVT to DVT?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] allanwinckler:
Thanks,

So, What is the first Step? change radio? spl? :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
Based on the new information provided, look for a thread specifically dedicated to the DVT boards. The only thing I can really find in google about DVT is that its seen on G1 boards, and that most standard instructions would brick it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] allanwinckler:
I can't finded thread dedicated to DVT, only some dicussions but not conclusions..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WingnutLord:
kbeezie, I noticed I have the same phone you do, what steps did you take?

Edit: I only ask because I can find anything with 1.33.0013 specifically and do not wish to brick, and you seem to know what you are doing.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
It's the link in my signature, notice how "Rooted" is a hyperlink?

In short:

1) Make a goldcard

2) flash the engineering 2010 SPL

3) flash the stock radio/hboot and 1.6.2G recovery provided in the thread

4) boot into Recovery, flash the rooted stock rom from the provided zip

At the current moment only the stock 1.6 rom works, there are no fully working custom roms yet until either T-Mobile releases an OTA update for 2.1, or until HTC releases the kernel source.

I've been thinking about the start screen and how many of us thing there is a lot of wasted space on it because of the long black area on the side that is supposed to indicate that there is something there (the apps).

Honestly I think this start screen looks out of place compared to the rest of the phone. But I've though of a way to make it look like it's part of the rest. Why not instead of having the arrow on the side and all that wasted space but one of those pan bars at the top (like in messages that say Unread->all->flagged->Etc) and have it say Tiles->Apps. I think that would bring just a bit of the Metro UI into it and no long black area of wasted space.

Just an idea what do you guys think?

[Click Android Development] Amon_RA:
No, if you get that message you should check the recovery log file.

I think that you are trying to backup the ext partition but that your current ROM doesn't have apps2sd. That's why you get that error.

Sorry that I forgot to mention you, thanks for all the testing and feedback, without your help this recovery wouldn't have been!! Thanks :-)

1.6.3 will be my last version, others are doing the same thing, not much sense in doing the same job twice... Sorry.

You don't have to use the ext features, they are there for people who would like to use it.

Try to re-download your recovery.img, reboot your phone, tasks all apps & retry !
[Click Android Development] s8box:
Well, this kind or error it's most probably in solid disk, yeap... try to run some fsck (in Unix system) in your sd .

It can be *file system* problem, so fsck(file system checker) can correct, or it can be media problem, only a new one can help.

OR, not so probably, it can be corrupt in recovery.img ...
[Click Android Development] Amon_RA:
You probably have bad blocks in your recovery partition.

There's nothing you can do to fix them.

The only thing you can do is flash a recovery image that fits the free (non bad block) space you have left of your recovery partition.

I also think you are using an old flash_image binary.

Where did you get the flash_image binary?

You have a non engineerings SPL which doesn't allow you to use certain fastboot commands like "fastboot erase".

Can you use the fastboot boot recovery.... command?
[Click Android Development] s8box:
Nop :P , the correct file system checker can mark theses block in inode free list as a bad block, and the file system will not use them any more, but if was data stored there, I have bad news for him :\

[Click Android Development] sushkov:
Ok, I had problems how to do this on Linux (mine distro is Ubuntu), so here's a small guide.

Warring, I suppose you already have rooted your HTC Tattoo!

Basically you will need to mount your partitions in write mode and use the

./flash_image

tool to flash the image you want.

Get into Tattoo's shell (./adb shell) as root.

Type

mount

to get the list of mounted partitions, where you will get something like:

# mount
rootfs / rootfs ro 0 0
tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,mode=755 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=600 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
tmpfs /sqlite_stmt_journals tmpfs rw,size=4096k 0 0
[B]/dev/block/mtdblock3 /system yaffs2 rw 0 0
/dev/block/mtdblock5 /data yaffs2 rw 0 0[/B]
/dev/block/mtdblock4 /cache yaffs2 rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0
/dev/block//vold/179:0 /sdcard vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0000,dmask=0000,allow_utime=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8 0 0

We need the bolded lines, with /data and /system mount points.

Remount them into write mode:

# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock5 /data

Now go to your flashing utility folder and execute something like this:

# ./flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-tattoo-v1.6.2.img
flashing recovery from /sdcard/recovery-RA-tattoo-v1.6.2.img

Reboot to recovery:

# reboot recovery

That's all.

Tip: Use google if you didn't find any of the tools I mentioned on your phone.
[Click Android Development] Amon_RA:
A simple "adb remount" will mount everything read write too ;-)

[Click Android Development] bartmanus:
Hi! I've started 'hacking' my Tattoo today and things aren't that hard (but I use GNU/Linux daily so YMMV :P).

Essentially you need to access root on your phone (there's a sticky for that), then you need a kernel module called tatoo_hack.ko and a binary program file called flash_image, which you put on the phone. There's a file called Tattoo.rar in the sticky All Tattoo questions and answers see here (from A to Z)! (sorry, can't be more specific as i'm new on forum and can't post links) which contatins all you need.

After you get root, place binary in place and recovery image on sdcard, you are nearly ready to flash! You need to be sure that the destination of flashing is writable (hints a few posts up, check with # mount) and that the kernel module is loaded (check with # lsmod)

If these prerequisites aren't met you will get errors such as:

On the other hand, there's a different error which can be frustrating:

I have found that you must flash another recovery image first and alternate. So I flashed maverixx's recovery image and then Amon Ra's after that.

And now it works!! Thanks Amon Ra and all other posters who spread helpful hints all over the place (all this info should seriously be condensed into some wiki).
