Hello! First of all let me thank you for the guide.

When i first clicked "root" it said that "no fu goo..." something... but anyways i was persistent and click it again, and phone rooted seamlessly!

Then I followed your instructions and recommendations exactly. Rom loaded up perfectly!

Well everything works great, love the Cyanogen mod. Except for one things.

That being my Youtube isn't working. Tried using different youtube apps, like those that let you download and such... but it always says :

"Error: Can not play this file, please check current connection quality"

Was not sure whether to post this here, or make a new thread for it elsewhere. (whoever mod is, i apologize)

You want to look in the CM6 for Dream/Magic thread. Honestly you should do some reading and searching within the thread BEFORE you post though, as that is a KNOWN ISSUE that has been reported many times in that thread already, so you can probably find the answer to your question by using the SEARCH THIS THREAD tool instead of posting the same question again.

advice for anyone having trouble booting to recovery.

Hey! Thank you so much Candymanmike I just got my 32b Magic (UK vodafone) rooted and flashed cyanogen 6 which is awesome, a completely new lease of life!

Problems I had:

one click root took a few goes, just redoing it until I got my first Super user request. Note, the app said it was rooted, but it wasnt. It was only rooted when I finally got super user requests while flashing recovery with clockwork.

Also, after flashing recovery (either clockwork or Amon Ra) I couldnt reboot to recovery (and so couldnt load a ROM) I only ever got as far as the red vodafone screen where it just stayed.

I took the battery out, and was able to turn on the phone as I could originally. (Interestingly if I formatted my SD card powered up the phone, let it all load up and shut it down I could get into the origional android recovery)

In short, I was not able to boot to recovry. To get over that I used this method.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=756918

Just be patient, it took a while, but Its by far the easiest and quickest way.

Again, thanks ever so much for the guide and tip off about Androot!

Brilliant!

Hi everyone!

I'm new and I'm trying to install a new ROM on my HTC magic 1.5 cupcake (european model if that matters). I thought I found a quick and easy guide for rooting and installing a new ROM, but everything just goes wrong for me! I hope you guys can help :( I downloaded Androot, installed and rooted my fun successfully! I choose the "not superuser" option, since it said so on the Androot download page. Next step was to download and install ROM manager. But I can't download it! Tried it via android market and the appbrain market, and I even tried to google some older versions, which didn't work either! I read on the android market that you have to have 1.6 and up. Help, anyone?

Btw, my phone is 32A, with 6.XX radio

You need to use Mumilover's guide that's stickied in the Magic General Discussion Forum.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sbleed:
I was having the same problem. I can't remember which button to push, but sometimes it doesn't go straight to the recovery menu. Sometimes you have to push menu, or back, to make the menu pop up. Otherwise the recovery flash didn't take. Usually the wrong SPL or recovery image will cause this. It's hard to find proper SPLs, and recoveries for MyTouch Fenders because not many people have them. I'm still using mine, and have just went back to stock since the release of 2.2.1 though you lose USB Tethering. It works better than any MOD I've downloaded. Especially Cyanogen drains battery like crazy. Do Not use ADW which is built into CM7 unless you have your charger with you all day. Battery will only last about 5 hours with everything shut off. Stock ROM is the only battery efficient ROM I have seen.

I also have the recovery RA dream 1.7.0-cyan downloaded also? if u can help me out ive been on tons of sites. . .
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pmerced:
Download Rom Manager for Android 1.6 from here:

http://www.4shared.com/android/87Z5gzSF/comkoushikduttarommanager.html

Then you can flash a custom recovery with it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
You need root for that. Besides, mt3g is on froyo now.

Your best bet is superoneclickroot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pmerced:
Of course it's need to be rooted, I was just answering to this:

He says that he have 1.6 on a rooted G1, and he ask for help because he can't get Rom Manager from market.

I also have a MT3G and sometimes I need to get to stock firmware for sorting things out, froyo was an update not the original firmware, the stock android version of MT3G is 1.6.

.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Gotcha. Hate to be that guy, but original mt3g/g1 firmware was cupcake, android 1.5.

There should be some simple recovery flashers on the market, try those?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pmerced:
You are right. I was confused because my t-mobile mt3g 1.2 came with 1.6, I have a later sapphire version.

After you flash your new recovery are you booting into recovery mode or are you trying a normal boot? After you flash recovery you should boot up into recovery and then flash a new rom with root.

I'm following the guide, when I boot into recovery mode it just hangs up, how long should the it take to boot into recovery mode ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
It takes a while for me. Hold power and home all the way through the first splash screen and it should come up eventually. Is your phone a 32a or 32b? That makes a difference in the instructions. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in, because I only know what I've read here.

Doesn't work here with a Magic 32A

SPL 1.76.0.10

RADIO 6.35.xx

The Androot part seems to work, but both the recovery images (Clockwork & Amon-Ra) give me an error message (attempt to run privileged command, and an error has occurred).

Tried using ADB shell, SU tells me it has granted me access to root, but when using the flash_image command, it says the .img file cannot be found (yes, of course, it is on the sd card). And yes, I did follow Amon-ra's instructions to use the Hero V1.6.2 img because the v1.7.0 for the Magic doesn't work on 32A.

Me thinks I'm just not rooted... Is there any way to double-check that?

Dunno what to try next...

Any idea? Anyone?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Buttafinguz:
Thanks so much for your guide. I was nervous about rooting my MyTouch, having no prior experience, but your guide laid everything out very simply. I was actually surprised by how relatively easy the entire process was. With Cyanogenmod 6, I'm getting such a marked improvement in performance and functionality, I feel like I have a new phone! Makes waiting for that HTC Glacier or Galaxy S2 that much easier. Kudos!:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Whiterin:
Will this be supporting more devices in the future. HTC Desire and Moto Backflip (MB300) for example? Was excited to see this as my wife and I both have Android devices. Then I saw the list, and both out phones are on the "Not supported" list. There was sadness. lol. Thanks.

im new to using these phones and just got my hands on a mytouch 3g, the original one, i run a 1.6 software and when i was doing the rooting i got stuck at the part where i load the ROM, it gave me the screen with the exclamation mark and phone, i tried to run zip from there and it wouldnt work, now im going to re-do it but i want to know if im doing anything wrong or if i have to update my software
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] candymanmike:
updated :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] candymanmike:
sorry but the first part i have to answer with a link. here is the google addon pack. if you use a cyanogen rom i don't think you have to format your sd card after(but could be wrong). but doing so gives you more virtual memory to help your phone run faster. if you reformat your card, yes you will lose everything on it. the best way to back it up is to just copy everything from it to a file on your computer then transfer it back after it is formatted. the root of your sd card is just the main part of your sd card when you open it up on your computer, not in any of the files, just the main section it opens to automatically.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] NyxxSin:
I think your post is great and very helpful but before I try to do this. I have question about the radio issue. Now does this refer to the Pandora radio and how does it effect the rooting process? Not gonna lie I'm a N00b so all of this is pretty wow to me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
If you just run Androot without flashing a new ROM Pandora Radio should still work. Its the custom ROMs that you'll have problems with Pandora.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] NyxxSin:
Ok, but those are the other things i'm not quite clear on. What is ROM and Flashing?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
To follow up on this, the SD Card partitioning and format ONLY matters if you intend to use features such as SWAP and APPS2SD, am I correct? If I don't plan on using those features, I can just shine that part on, right? I don't think either of my SD cards are above a class 2 so using those features seems kind of moot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] fezfollowil:
I have followed your instructions diligently.

I'm running a 32A HTC magic.

I had androot installed, rom manager and

So, I had it rooted via androot 1.5 superuser thingy. It says 'Woot, your device is rooted'

I clicked in flash clockworkmod recovery. It says Successfully flashed clockworkMod recovery.

Here's the problem! When i clicked backup current rom, the phone restarts and

when i head back to rom manager, its says back up failure. WHAT AM I

SUPPOSE TO DO?!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ikbenben:
Hi everyone,

this is my first attempt at updating my rom manually and i'm having the same issue as madffrogs. basically this is what i did:

1. installed universal androot and rom manager apps

2. rooted my phone using universal androot

3. opened rom manager and flashed by clicking on 'flash clockworkmod recovery'

4. tried to backup my current rom by clicking on 'backup current rom'

at this point the vodafone screen appears and seems to hang. how long does the backup take usually? maybe i'm not waiting long enough.

when i tire of waiting for the vodafone screen i pull out my battery and then reboot. it seems to be my only option. when i go back into rom manager i see the following message with 3 options:

recover failure

* recovery mode is broken

* rom manager doesn't reboot

* other

but the problem i believe is that the backup didn't work. i can't find a backup folder or file on the sd card that matches the name that was used

thanks in advance

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ikbenben:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] candymanmike:
those having trouble backing up, instead of backing up via rom manager, try rebooting into recovery mode. making a backup is in option in recovery too and usually works better.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] candymanmike:
list of supported devices was updated on the universal androot site. i updated the op with the new list.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Download flashrec.apk and use it to flash amon_ra's recovery, then you can manually reboot into recovery and flash whatever rom you want.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ikbenben:
thanks. i think i was heading that way after reading more :). right now when i go into recovery mode i only have 4 options, none of which is to backup current rom. by using this package, i will be able to see the backup option in the recovery mode...correct?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Correct.

Does the phone boot now? If I were in your position I'd be tempted to completely unroot and start over, just to be safe, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know whether that's necessary.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] candymanmike:
everyone seems to be having different experiences with the different recoveries. personally i have not once had a problem with clockwork, but everyone told me how great RA was, so i switched to it. i didn't see any different features in it than in clockwork and the one nandroid backup i made with RA gave me a bootloop when i flashed it. so i went back to clockwork, i've used a backup twice with clockwork and both times worked flawlessly. not arguing one is better than the other. just saying it's odd that everyone seems to be having problems with clockwork and everyone at xda recommends RA and i have had the exact opposite experiences personally.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ikbenben:
not yet. trying to investigate where to get flashrec.apk from without asking too many questions :) but please feel free to point me to the file if you feel like it...lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] candymanmike:
strange what version of clockwork is it? i am using 2.5.0.1 and have:

-reboot system now

-apply sdcard: update.zip

-wipe data/factory reset

-wipe cache partition

-install zip from sdcard-

- nandroid

-partitions menu

-advanced

nandroid being the backup area. if you go into nandroid you get the following options:

-backup

-restore

-advanced restore

if memory serves, same as RA

Hi everyone having issues.....an update which may solve the problems.

first thanks to Phateless and Candymanmike for the support

i tried to follow the directions Phateless provided but the cupcake image provided in the directions was the wrong one for my mobile model of htc magic. i tried to run flashrec anyways while still on 1.6 but the backup process failed. i decided, what the heck, i'll continue on and this is where the breakthrough happened. i reformatted my sd card (after backing it up of course) and now things seem to be working.

i am now able to use rom manager to create a backup of my current rom. i'm going to continue following this guide after it has finished and I will provide an update once i'm done. hopefully all is good and i don't end up with a brick :)

How do your Navi and Pandora work? I originally rooted so I could overclock and run these two apps at once, but every ROM I installed was too unstable in both of these apps to be daily a driver, rendering the whole thing moot.

Unfortunately, after a week with Eclair I got really spoiled and even though things are working great with my stock firmware rooted through Androot, I'm tempted to start flashing ROMs again. :rolleyes:

Will this method work to install root, clockwork recovery using ROM manager and get CM6.0?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] candymanmike:
this method will get you root access and allow you to flash a recovery image and ROM. i'm not sure if CM6 supports radio 6.35 or not. you may have to downgrade your radio. there is a list of ROMs HERE just scroll to the section that says radio 6.35. also you can ask over at the cyanogen forums if it will work. they can tell you for sure.
