My magic stopped at the red rotate start scene since i updated my photo to 0.7.7

First, my magic was 0.6.7 but i forgot to flash 0.7 first

i flashed 0.7.7 directly instead

however when i flashed those 2 new roms

and i rebooted it, then it stopped at that scene, and some time later

it stopped rotate, nearly 30mins

so i unplugged my battery

and then

i wanted to flash 0.7, but same problem

so what's the solution?

i have read previous post

i have to remove sim card?

if yes, when?

many thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cyriljp:
I am currently using Smoki 0.7.7 with the 290MB Data Partition. I wanted to try out one of the Froyo ROMs on Old Radio. Can I just flash the old radio, spl, and recovery? Or do I need to revert the data partitions first?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide advice.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] canada2005:
Great question, I would also like to know this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gtklocker:
Upgraded to 0.7.7, awesome and fast! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Did you wipe? Also yes, you need to remove the sim card if you did wipe and still get that freeze at the end of the booting screen. Have it removed until you finish setting everything up, load senseui and then you can put it back.

Just flash old radio and such as that will remove any partitioning and data on partitions in the process.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nthspecial:
I followed your instuction

unfortunately it failed again

still stop at that red animation..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Try to redownload, wipe, flash partition, flash 0.7.7, take sim card out and boot. Also logcat would be useful.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nthspecial:
the step of taking the sim card out is before flashing anything

or after flashed 0.7.7 and before reboot that moment?

what's logcat?

and "Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App" what does it mean?

many thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mumilover:
1 question)

Just do what the man tells you... in that order!

You can remove the sim whenever you want - AS LONG IT'S BEFORE THE FIRST BOOT..........

2 question)

logcat is adb command...

When you run the first boot of the rom, make sure that the device is connected..

then run

adb logcat

You will see a lot of info on your comp-screen when the device connects....

It's your devices activity!!!

very good for debuggin

3 q)

"Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App" is just a signature...

When you respond to a post through your mobil using the XDA application, the signature is automaticly added to the response!!

It's a way to make it clear that the respond was written on a mobil... or that misspells are there because he was driving while writing the post...

Just ignore those comments..

No disrespect - but learn to use google... :0)

hi, updated from 0.7.6 but it hand at the first page "HTC MAGIC" and never response.... (no wipe, follow procedure ) and decive to downgrade back to 0.7.6 and the memery left 101MB:confused::confused::confused:

wat i should do ? format my SD card ? partition it ? or partition back to normal and retry again ??

pls help

thx
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Well try redownload, follow the procedure again and pray it boots :D If not, just do a wipe install of it. Also make sure you give it like 2min or a bit more as in that time of splash screen, there's a lot of scripts working in the background. You can also check logcat to see what's happening.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Lorennz:
The ROM is really slow. It wasn't a good choice to come from FroyoRedux.

By the way it had loops after I applied the boot patch with FroyoRedux. Then again I flashed it without applying the boot patch and it worked.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mumilover:
Use www.google.com :0)

It took me 2.5 mins to find similar questions that have been answered...

And no, i did not care to post them here :0)

Hint:

Did anybody tell you to run logcat from recovery?

Check your windows os + cmd-window + sdk folder....

smoki

Can you insert th hebrew lang(of capychimp) to your next release?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Yes, thank you, I know it's really slow, but it's really slow only after some time of use with bunch of apps opening and closing (and I mean bunch). That's a problem with cache which has been solved, just not uploaded yet(will do soon).

As for the bootloop, I have successfully flashed and tested around 3 or 4 roms here with this thing and every one of them worked fine. I have not tested froyoredux as that is mainly for old radio, so I do not know what's wrong there, but I will check it so thanks you for notifying me :)

I possibly could. If capy lets me use them ;) Then again, the update will take a long toll, but if that's what people want(to add those other languages), then I will release a hotfix for battery and overtime tremendous slowdown today.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Bladyle:
I haven't problems with cache, when using a bunch of apps, only some times freezes, but i think this is from JIT.

I want to try some OC kernel (carz12 or Switch33). Is there will be problems if only flash them via fastboot?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avicho:
Smoki we are waiting to your next release

We hope that you eventually will insert the hebrew lang

And the solution to the rom speed:rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Trust me, there's a problem with filesystem cache in .7.7 :) Either way, flash the boot patch after applying boot.img from carz.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Bladyle:
Maybe there is a problem, but i don't notice it :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
klothius i can make you the languages if you want and insert the fonts, so people wotn have to flash an extra file, i merge the fonts together so thia arabic and hebrew work together just give me a hurl if you wan i make it for you

now the hero section will go at the partition thingy ;)

APN settings?

Hi.

Is there a way to apply APN settings in the terminal, adb or via a update.zip?

My proveder isn't in the APN list and since the APN settings force closes i need to apply these settings in another way? (MMS and internet is not working?)

I need theese settings applied:

- - - Internet - - -

NAME: Happii Mobil Internet

APN: internet

MCC: 238

MNC: 01

APN type: default

- - - MMS - - -

NAME: Happii Mobil Internet

APN: mms

MMSC: h t t p : // 192.168.241.114:8002 (without spaces... I cannot post links...)

MMS proxy: 194.182.251.15

MMS port: 8080

MCC: 238

MNC: 01

APN type: mms

If not, I'll just try to install 0.7.6 again and then do a no-wipe update to 0.7.7... That should keep the APN from 0.7.6, right?

For guy´s that know´s Portuguese :

http://androidpt.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=3&func=view&catid=15&id=53221

for all of the others, GPS FIX Europe user´s only

flash this via recovery:

xdaforums.com/attachment.php?...734&d=1272691246

This is for all of u, that like me had the gps.conf setup for North America, to check it, u have to go, phone memory, folder etc, file gps.conf view the file if u find something like this ntp_server: north-america.pool.ntp.org, it should be europe.pool.ntp.org

;) :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
dude i made flash zips for that long ago in capyslide thread ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ferreinf:
READ FIRST:

before flashing the EU_GPS.zip, make a backup of all your apps, use titanium backup for example, because when i flashed the zip, i lost all my installed apps... :( :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ferreinf:
sorry man,

i know that this info. is posted somewere here , but lazzyness..... lolol

:) :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
but your right on the info, you get a lock much faster on it, and also people have their gps on when they shutdown to flahs this, so you get them to do the reboot with gps enabled which is still needed hehehe ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ferreinf:
yeap,

i forgot, restart the phone with gps on...

Navi works like a charm, Ndrive after 3 or 4 restarts gets the location, lol

i use this trick, navigation then Ndrive... works for me

;) ;) ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Jesterarts:
Ok... update to using 0.7.7

Damn this this ROM runs fast adn smooth!! :)

But, I'm having issues with GPS and battery drain.

I've done the GPS restart, so turn on google maps, little GPS icon flashing, then turned phone off and back on.

But I still can't get location lock using Maps brute, Maps, Navigation Brut. I also downloaded GPS info which shows me how many satellites the phone can see, at one point I have a good signal from 5 satellites but it wouldn't lock onyo my location. :(

Also, battery is draining quite fast... I'll get a day's use out of the phone if I'm lucky. That's wake up at 5.20am... use 3G for an hour on train to work, maybe 10 calls under a minute during the day and 5 SMS, an hour of 3G on train home @ 6pm and I will only have like 15% left if I'm lucky.

I will try charging to full, wiping battery stat's and draining completely today.

But yeah, any idea's about GPS? I'm in Australia.

My gps.config file is using NTP_Server=north-america.pool.ntp.org and I can't change it to au.pool.ntp.org because the file is read only.

Thanks,
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Re-flash the radio with GPS turned on and then try to get a lock. If that fails, you can try flashing an appropriate config file from capyslide topic here on sapphire android dev section.

@ALL New update is up which fixed both extreme battery drainage and slowdowns and FCs in connection with the system slowing tremendously down. Also rom should be as snappy as it can be right now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Jesterarts:
Yep, I flashed the EU_GPS.zip but modified the gps.config file to use the Australian NTP and GPS is working!!! THANKS!!!

ARGH! All applications and setting are gone after 0.7.8!!! :(

Hope I've got my nanoid file floating around...

Also, I can't connect my phone to the computer via USB anymore!!

USB Debugging turns on and I can charge, but I can't connect to see the drive...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
if you have a nandroid, do a restore, re-download and apply again. I am sorry for this mistake, charging fix is working good this time, but not the official update -.- Too tired I guess :/ I re uploaded it now and should be working as it should now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] brk:
Flashed 0.7.8 and all info on phone is wiped. Going to restore from nandbackup made on 0.7.7 upgrade.

EDIT: just read previous post... flashing again
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Jesterarts:
Yeah... my nanoid restore file is not on my SD card. And phone isn't connecting via USB so I cannot transfer it onto the SD card.

Any ideas?

EDIT:

Ok, doing a nandroid restore now... figers crossed!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Reboot into recovery, enable USB-MS and transfer the files from your pc to your sdcard.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Jesterarts:
Ok... after restore phone no longer boots up. Just keeps booting in Recovery... :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Try to repeat the whole install process as explained in the first post(the install process) and see if it boots....if yes, redownload 0.7.8 and flash it. If it fas, wipe install .7.7 and just flash .7.8 over it.

Btw that nandroid backup was from .7.6 or .7.7?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Jesterarts:
Ok, trying this now... will post if successful/unsuccessful :)

PS, Nandroid backup was from 0.7.6. I did it pre-installing 0.7.7
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Well that's why it did not boot. You need to flash 0.7.7 over it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Jesterarts:
I wiped and flashed 0.7.7 onto the phone. If it boots up successfully, then I will restore the nandroid backup onto it.

Then, I will create a new nandroid backup of the 0.7.7 system, and install 0.7.8.

Fingers crossed, currently booting up in 0.7.7... waiting at the red circle screen thing at the moment.

UPDATE:

- 0.7.7 flash successfully, phone is out of box state, no apps, settings, nothing

- Tried Nanodroid restor but get error : run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb! :(

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:

I updated it from 0.7.7 and the software version still shows "Smoki_0.7.7".

THX
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Jesterarts:
yay! I'm on 0.7.8 and all systems working... :D

Thanks klothius!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bluurpie:
Yeah..same here. Was wondering whether it's updated to 0.7.8 or not. Anyone having the same situation?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
it's because he forgot to chnage the build number in build.prop. it doesn't matter guys
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bluurpie:
Ah! That explains. Thanks! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
it's such a little extra thing, and so easy to forget, cause you almost never ouch the build prop ;)

If i want come back to other rom like smoki 0.6.8 I have only flash BOOT or I have to do sth else (partition layout)?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DelBoy:
Just to make it clear. Im flashing first time smoki rom, so after flashing 0. 7. 7 I need to flash 0. 7. 8 update.

Not needed to flash earlier versions first(0.7.6)?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cypis:
0.7.7 android then 0.7.8 but 0.7.7 have special instruction to flashing. You should know this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] liderzre:
Do i must apply boot patch after install 0.7.8 ?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DelBoy:
Dont see anything special, except partition layout need to be flashed before 0.7.7.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
I don't as I don't even know what's the problem there. I just added all widgets that can be found from HTC into the rom, so no hassle about that. I believe one time I had a download possibility and the next day the list was empty...it re-appeared the next day by itself.

Well it seems that the update is installing proper boot.img, but forgetting about system folder (which has build.prop and some minor thing in init.d) It's not a big problem as that one will just change the governor to ondemand and save your battery by a slight margin. Main stuff is in boot.img, so don't worry. I'll include that in the next update ;)

You're asking me technical stuff or ? :D

No.

You only flash boot patch over 0.6.8 and nothing else.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kassy_ok:
rom is nice and smooth...but

after 0.7.7 and 0.7.8 i have 73MB space left on device ??????????

Clear your SD Card, then put the partition_layout.zip, smoki 0.7.7 and smoki 0.7.8 into your sccard.

Boot into recovery -> Wipe -> Install partition_layout -> Install smoki 0.7.7 - > Install smoki 0.7.8

there is not a 0.2.1 version, only a .2? for its size i guess it is only an update that don't need wipe etc right?

now it is working good, i guess that fc's were because I forgot to wipe

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
That's not a bug, that's an extra option really :D But it seems that it's not working very properly on our(nor on Hero) devices so you should disable that in settings > sound and display > quiet ring on pickup > uncheck it.
