Are you rooted?? You have to be rooted to use rom manager.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
That's strange, I would do some searching on how to do this with adb.

Does it pop up and ask you whether to do ION/mt3g or magic?

Check your SU permissions apps to make sure that rom manager is approved. Maybe uninstall and reinstall rom manager or clear your su permissions list?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AntaeusDK:
Hi,

Ran the app... rooted. Tried to boot into the clockwork recovery, fails? It keep showing that ugly HTC Magic boot screen, and refuses to do as I ask of it.

It IS rooted, I just cannot apply other roms via ROM Manager... any ideas?

annoying bootscreen loop

Ok, I've read the whole tutorial twice before starting the whole process :P

it was clear the part where it says

" Chose "wipe data/factory reset" then "wipe cache partition". This step is important. I know from personal experience if you don't do this you may end up in a bootscreen loop! "

however...i didn't even get the chance to chose "wipe data/factory reset" because it went on a bootloop when i clicked on "reboot into recovery"

I know the tutorial says

" HTC Magic (1.5) (Select Do not install Superuser)"

but since I was having problems with permission I tried the root with superuser...

Some will say "just go into recovery boot and wipe/start again" however i dont have that possibility because it just shows the brand's logo (TIM) and boots again. I noticed that when I press 'home' I can see "ClockWorkMod Recovery 2.5.0.1" but it's just for a sec then it boots again

I know some people managed to get their phones back to working normaly by pressing 'return' during the loops, but that isnt working for me :(

Also, I cant use the usb connection because my computer wont recognize it (it shows an usb connection but says it failed and wont work properly)

I'm getting worried...

has anyone heard about something like this? Please, somebody help me :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
All three of you need to pay much closer attention to the rooting guides you're reading.

Use rom manager to install clockwork recovery BEFORE you boot into recovery. Rom manager needs clockworkmod recovery to be installed in order to flash roms for you. It's more reliable to do it manually from recovery mode though.

Do you have rom manager installed? Use it to flash recovery, boot into recovery, wipe everything, flash your gapps, then reboot. You'll be fine.

If not, you can use adb to install the rom manager manually and get yourself out of this mess. You'll need to start a thread to ask someone more experience for guidance on that.

If you can get into recovery you're good to go. It sounds like you're not on a tmobile mytouch 3g, but a magic from another carrier? I'm not as familiar with this one so you should probably start your own thread.

All three of these situations could have been very easily avoided by slowing down and reading the directions more carefully.

help pt. 2

i don't have any apps on my phone. no market, no rom manager, nothing from google is on my phone any longer, not even the email app. when i cut my phone off and press "end" AND "home" to get into recovery, all i see is the big explanation mark. I think if i attempted to reinstall the roms from there I might get things working again but I forgot how to swipe and install things by pressing "alt+s" "alt+w" and using the other keys. As for starting my own forum, I would, but I'm so non-savvy it's a shame. I don't know how to about starting one.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Go to theunlockr.com, spelled exactly as I have it, and search for "unroot." Once you're up and running again, start over.

EDIT - Here you go, this will get you back to OEM so you can start over. For the love of god, when you apply this file, DON'T TOUCH THE PHONE UNTIL IT'S DONE.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Atreyou:
Help completed... Thank you

I did it! I wasn't able to to unroot, I tried but my phone wouldn't let me install. scanning down one of the forms, I seen someone say that when they bounce into recovery, all they see is a big explanation mark. Someone responded by saying press alt+L so the list will display. So I re-uploaded the cm-6.0.0 DS.signed rom...then re-installed the google apps....and presto, everything is perfect. I just want to thank everyone who gave me advise.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kazuki1:
cool, great post man!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Ruprecht10:
I am thinking about rooting my HTC G1 android device, but I am a little scared to brick my phone. What is the chance of bricking my phone using Universal AndRoot? I am running firmware 1.6 and want to update to froyo. I just want to know how high or low the chances are of bricking. Please reply quick.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
If you read the directions very carefully and pay attention to what you're doing, almost nonexistent. There's also a program for the computer called super one click.

BE AWARE THAT TO FLASH A CUSTOM ROM ON YOUR G1 YOU WILL PROBABLY NEED A CUSTOM SPL. Do some reading to make sure you do this correctly.

If you just want to root your existing software with universal androot you just install, press the button and go on your merry way.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Ruprecht10:
Thanks I am going to try this froyo port for g1 made from the official T-Mobile MyTouch 3g update. It is supposed to be really fast and it does have a certain SPL and Radio img so I will be sure to flash those first. Thanks for the help!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
No worries, have fun and don't freak out if something goes awry, all part of the process.

Quick tip. On first boot of new Rom, let it sit for about 20 mins before you start setting up. Lot of background processes and "thinking" going on. ROM will run WAY better if you do this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Ruprecht10:
Ok thanks. I have never read that you should wait but I will be sure to do so. Thanks for all of you help, I am a lot more confident in rooting my phone now! I will post how it goes once I root it and put on the rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Yeah it's one of those things they don't really tell you in the rooting guides, but it makes a big difference. I usually flash roms while watching tv so I go at least between commercial breaks after first boot.

Have fun!

Btw, is this the rom you're talking about? I liked this one better than TMUS.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=811620
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Ruprecht10:
Yeah that is the ROM that I am talking about! That's the post I am following to install it. Have you tried it or heard about it? I hear it is really fast (faster then cyanogen!) and nearly perfect!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Yeah it's pretty darn good, I have to say. It's faster than CM6 but I don't know about CM6.1, since Cyanogen added the official source code that makes Ezterry's so fast in the first place. Part of what slows down CM is how much stuff is in there. The MT3G is seriously outdated hardware and it needs a really lean and light rom in order to run fast. That's why I stayed on Donut for so long.

Once you're rooted you can flash back and forth willy-nilly and try them all. Just nandroid backup before you flash a new rom so if you don't like it you can restore in 5 minutes.

The only reason I moved away from Ezterry's hack is because I wanted to use the new radio. Of course a day or two later he came out with an easy flash kernel that supports the new radio. Go figure. :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Ruprecht10:
Cool I am going to try this one at first and I might move and try some different ROM's. How would I downgrade back to 1.6 and unroot if I decide to do so? I want to have some backup plans in my back pocket just incase something comes up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Make a nandroid backup of your oem Rom, restore that, then factory reset. Voila, back to stock.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Ruprecht10:
what exactly is a nandroid backup to the oem ROM and how would I do that??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Ruprecht10:
Rooting and Installing!!

So I have started the rooting process. I rooted with Universal Androot on my G1 running 1.6. I also flashed the RA Recovery 1.7.0 recovery img, and that successfully installed and is up and working. This afternoon I am going to flash the new Radio img and the new SPL. After I will flash the froyo update for G1 and the Market Fix!!! Hope all of this works as well as it is supposed to!!:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Boot up into recovery. Under backup there is an option for a nandroid backup. This will create a folder on your sdcard that allows you to restore EVERYTHING to the exact point at which you made the backup.

The only thing a nandroid does NOT back up are the radio image and SPL. You should DEFINITELY make a nandroid backup before you change anything else.

I have several on my hard drive of my favorite roms. If I decide I want to go back to Ezterry's rom I just boot into recovery, nandroid restore, reflash the correct radio image or updated kernel, and boot right up.

It would take 5 mins and I'd be exactly back to where I was last time I powered that rom down.

I had nandroids of cm5, cm6, tmus, etc., but I deleted some of them. Now I just have one of oem 1.6, oem 2.2, and ezterry's 2.2 ota hack.

Edit - as far as unrooting and going to back to stock with a fresh start, the links in my sig will help with that. Click the one for OEM Android 1.6.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Ruprecht10:
Ok Thanks. I just made a nandroid backup for my 1.6 firmware and put it on my computer. Can I take the file off my phone's sd card if I have it on my computer's hard drive or do I have to keep it one there??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Assuming you copied the entire nandroid folder to your hard drive you can probably remove it from the sd card. I wouldn't just because i'm paranoid but I doubt it will be an issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Ruprecht10:
ok yeah I copied the whole folder from the root of the sd card called nandroid. So would it have any effect or not. Because I don't want to screw up my phone this far along the process
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
You should be fine.
[Android Apps and Games] chimas16:
I used to have a windows mobile phone and I loved the Inesoft Phone program. It gave me options everytime I recieved a call that now with my android I dont have, plus a lot of other stuff I'm missing now with my Android. Does anyone know any similar program?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] h078:
I am writing this in hope somebody can point me in right direction. I have MT3G (Tmobile - the first one)

Now I wanted to see is it possible to map Send (Green receiver) key to open dialpad instead call log. I do not see any sense in having phone app opening a dialpad and hardware key does not.

By all means of human logic if I press green key I want DIALPAD to show first and if I am interested in call log I can check it on my terms...

So if anybody found a way to re-map key please let me know how to do it.

Thanks

Yes... all gone!!!

Dont update from htc... wait 24-48 hours and the update will be on this forum... rooted and all bad things removed from it :0)

What "bad things" are there in the HTC update? :P
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] alex_canada:
LOL :) that sounds like a great idea!! I can't wait to try the version stripped of all the crap carrier + HTC load it with!

For example if you are in Canada and your carrier is Rogers...which is the worst case scenario, they have installed their crap applications in it and sent it to HTC to give it to us OTA.

How to use

Drag and drop the initflashfiles.dat file over the tool executable and two files named "initflashfiles_decoded.dat" (identical file with the hexadecimal values removed) and "initflashfiles_compact.dat" (file with only the decoded entries and no comments or empty lines) will be created.

Note

The tool will write only valid lines in the compact file so if you find any line is missing please make sure it's a valid line before reporting the issue.

Changelog

(27/08/2010) v1.01: Now the tool saves the in-line comments as well

(25/08/2010) v1.00: Initial release

any chance you could add support for provxml?

does this tool need .NET or anything like that?

Not yet, I still haven't finished my provxml parser

It requires .NET 2.0 or higher to run
[Windows Mobile] Staxxthedan:
Thanks man.You are the real deal :)
[Windows Mobile] Nixeus:
Hello Hello,

Sorry for this noob question, but, what's the advantage of this tool ?

I have difficulties to understand.

Thanks a lot,

Regards,

Nixeus
[Windows Mobile] airxtreme:
Many OEMs put in the initflashfiles files hexadecimal values instead of characters for localization purposes, making very hard for cooks to understand what the entries are about; this tool takes all those hexadecimal values and decodes them to text.
[Windows Mobile] Nixeus:
mmm Ok, so,this tool is in order to decode the one initflashfiles.Dat ?
[Windows Mobile] babak00000:
Nice job!

Thanks for sharing.
[Windows Mobile] airxtreme:
Well, as the tool name says, yes.
[Windows Mobile] bobsbbq:
This may also be a stupid question but with your kitchen it creates app.dat files in many of the Ext packages. Which I assume is added to the iniflashfiles.txt file? So what is the best practice run it on the iniflashfiles.txt and all of the app.dat files individually?

Thanks for clarification
[Windows Mobile] airxtreme:
The next version will have all the validations and initflashfiles compacting built in
[Windows Mobile] seal_team_six:
Great tools airxtreme ... :) good job mate :)

Hi!

I upgraded my phone to the official FroYo release from HTC and then decided to root my phone.

I followed the clockwork mod downgrade tutorial from android-tutorials.org and it worked smoothly.

After a while I was wanted to try another rom (White rom), and did the last steps of the tutorial I followed the last time.

I downloaded the rom, put it on the SD card and booted my phone into recovery (clockwork mod recovery), and installed the zip file on my SD card.

Installation came up as completed successfully, and i rebooted my phone.

It started up with the white HTC screen, and did not go any further for a 2-3 hours :/

I again followed the tutorial for downgrading bootloader, and tried another rom with the same result, stuck on the white screen.

Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?

My bootloader is v 0.80 and I am now running Android 2.1 with superusers, so I am rooted for sure!

Thanks :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Have you tried wiping your phone before flashing a new ROM?

If not, try it.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kulset:
Tried wiping the phone in clockwork mod menu now, rebooted and then installed the zip file from the SD card.

Same thing happened again, "installation successfull" and when i reboot it gets stuck on the white screen with the HTC logo...

Any more good ideas? :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sutepm:
Try different rom? or restore back to your previous rom (if you made Nandroid back up)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kulset:
Downloading the rom I installed when i downgraded and rooted the phone, and hoping that will fix the problem.

Did not make a Nandroid backup, but will do it this time! :)

SIP?

Hi Madnish, looks exiting! Just curious about one thing - the Sip - which version is it? Recently I flashed a couple of ROMs, which shall go unnamed, where when you held down a letter like for instance "a" - instead of getting an expanded list of accented a's it started repeating the exclamation point on the screen... Great if you're just an English language user, a dealbreaker if you're not...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
There are 3 SIPs

1) EzInput 2.0

2) Finger Keyboard

3) Swaype

Any suggestions of SIPs which can be used to make non-english typing users happy ?

UPDATE: Nearly have fixed the e-mail bug, just refining, sorry for delay.

A few hours till the download buttons become alive.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] LazPL:
Hi Madnish,

I am not one hundred percent sure because there are so many ways to customize EzInput. But it should be easy to check - just hold a finger down on the "a" key on the EzInput Sip - if you get an extended menu with accented characters like á, å, ä, à etc. then it's the right one. If you instead get multiple !!!!! exclamation points, then it's an English-only version...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] LazPL:
...seeing your screenshots Madnish I now understand why you call it the Neon rom! :)

Hi,

I have played around with this ROM for a short while now. It is very fast and fluid. It is loaded with goodies which is always a bonus. It is a little difficult to read some items in Sense because of the standard background but not a problem. It's easy enough to change.

Overall a great first effort. As I said in an earlier post, I'm looking forward to the Titanium Only version.
