HTC Magic w/ "unperfected" SPL: hangs with Cyanogenmod ROMs (and possibly others)

Hi all,

Sorry if it's yet another "my phone got stuck on reboot" post, but I've read hundreds of posts without figuring out what I have done wrong.

My HTC Magic from the French operator SFR returned from tech support (after a speaker fix) with a "perfect" SPL and a "standard" Android 1.6, so I could no longer install any alternate ROM:

SAPPHIRE PVT32B SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.007 (SAPP 10000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.19.261

Jul 31, 2009, 15:49:25​

To downgrade the HTC Magic to a non-perfected SPL, I followed Amon Ra's instructions (showthread.php?t=548218), created a Goldcard, and flashed ROM v2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010).

After that, my config was as follows:

SAPPHIRE PVT32B ENG S-OFF H

HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP 10000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-3.22.20.17

June 2, 2009, 17:27:03​

Then I installed (fastboot flash) the recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img. Note that this version wouldn't reboot (stuck on splashscreen "HTC Magic") until I removed the SD card - after the 1st boot, it worked even with the SD card.

From the recovery I wiped out the memory and cache, and flashed the latest cyanogenmod for the Magic (update-cm-6.0.0-DS-signed.zip). Everything went fine, but when I reboot, the phone gets stuck on the splashscreen ("HTC Magic") forever. I waited more than 15 minutes. I tried to remove the battery, and also to start without the SD card, or with another SD card - to no avail. I'm still able to fastboot and to enter recovery, so my phone is not bricked.

I also tried to flash other cyanogenmod versions (update-cm-4.2.15.1-signed.zip and update-cm-5.0.8-DS-signed.zip) with the same outcome.

I don't know what to do now. Give up and return to the Android 1.5 included in 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip? Sad... If I should try other ROMs, which ones would you recommend (compatible with what is already installed)?

All that is terribly confusing and discouraging. Any advice about what to do next would be greatly appreciated.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] koreancanuck:
I see that your radio is for 32A devices. Try to flash the 32B radio? I don't know what will happen, so letting you know in advance that it is your decision to take these risks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rgruet:
Which radio do you suggest? The radio I'm using (RADIO-3.22.20.17) was bundled with Amon Ra's v2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip, which also included a 1.5 system image that seemed to work well (with that radio) on my 32B phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Or just download the EBI1 kernel available with CyanogenMod, then flash it after flashing the ROM and Google Add-on before rebooting.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rgruet:
Thanks for your advices, but I think it's too late now, I'm afraid I bricked my phone...

After careful investigation, I found that I could reasonably try the combination of radio 2.22.19.26I (ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip) with an SPL 1.33.2005 (update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2005-signed.zip) for my 32B Magic.

I planned to flash them from my NA recovery in sequence, radio first then SPL.

First step (flashing the radio) looked OK, at the end I did HOME+backspace to reboot and proceed to the second step (flashing the SPL). The phone did reboot and displayed the splash screen, but got stuck forever there... And no fast boot (backspace+power), no recovery (Home+power)... the brick!

I'm not totally sure I got the right radio. When I tried to download ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip, I found that there were several different versions: one for the dream + one for the "Google developer device" on the HTC site - a "ION" version, etc... I went for the "ion" version and apparently that was not a good choice.

I really think that it's incredibly complicated to find a secure way to do this. After hours of research on the net, I could never be sure that I was picking the right elements for my Magic. All this time spent represents more than the cost of the phone!

Thanks god I have also a working rooted Nexus one which doesn't give me headaches to update. Actually the Magic was my former phone that I gave to my wife - I think I'll have to offer her another phone :(

Cheers
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ezterry:
This people is why those that say "oh no you have the the 32a radio on a 32b you may brick the phone" are self fulfilling.

The 3.x radio works on both the 32a and 32b but you need to use fastboot to change the 3.x radio / recovery to the 2.x versions.

Otherwise flashing a 2.x radio from recovery with a 3.x radio on any dream or magic system will always brick the system..

(Edit: also I think the ion/adp1 versions of the radio are the same, except for a device check in the install script. . But I have not verified)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rgruet:
I just read something today (too late) about flashing radios via fastboot in certain circumstances to avoid bricking the phone. But it was in a tiny comment in a section about how to unbrick your phone ;) I wish I would have known that before.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mvjh01:
I went through the same thing as you but got out of it. I tried flashing Cyanogenmod 6.1 to my rooted Magic and was stuck on the Vodaphone screen. I then read about the radio and tried that and the phone was then bricked. What I did was follow the Gold Card procedure again with the update.zip on a formatted micro sd and the sappimg.zip on the gold card. you will need a USB micro sd card holder as the phone is bricked. Then I used the cards in my phone and this got my phone back. Once I had Fastboot capability again I found the latest zip file for superuser and flashed it to my phone (no wipe). Then I installed Rom Manager and installed the latest version of ClockworkMod recovery. You may have to do this install through Rom Manager 2-3 times before it actually installs. It says it has installed successfully but the reason the phone hangs at the splash screen is because it needs to boot to recovery to complete the install of cyanogenmod. you can test this by using 'boot to recovery' from the Rom Manager after the install of the ClockworkMod recovery. If it hangs at the splash screen, then it hasn't installed properly. Just take out your battery and power up the phone normally then use Rom Manager to install ClockwordMod recovery again. Once you get past this, it is all plain sailing. Just install the latest CyanogenMod 6.1 for the HTC Magic(GSM) and the Google Apps (3 files in total), Back up the current Rom, wipe and install. This worked a treat for me. Hope it works for you.

the only thing I think will erase any and all leftover corrupt data that is messing up your phone is task 29. these are things you need to do.

*if you haven't ever flashed a custom rom, and want to, do a hard spl(find the one specific to your phone) if your not going to flash a custom rom hard spl is not necessary, just find the neccesary stock rom package.

*Do a task 29 .http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=644781

*flash any rom.

*reformat your sd card to fat 32.( make sure to save any files you want before formatting as it will delete all info on card.

I hope you taking these steps help you bring your phone back.:D

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sike222:
is it only programmes installed on your sd card that it cannot detect?

if so? It may be that your phone has created a new sd card? (in other words your old sd card may now show as sd card 1) If so then delete this new one and the old one will reappear.

Just a thought and if it does not work sorry.

I listen to podcasts all the time with the Listen app from Google. With my Droid Incredible which I have set to vibrate when a phone call comes in Listen automatically pauses the podcast and I then know I have a phone call coming in so I never miss calls.

On the Droid 2 however, with the phone set to vibrate, when I receive a phone call it still keeps playing the podcast until I actually answer the call. Is there any way to set the phone to pause a podcast on Listen automatically when your phone gets a call?

Thanks in advance to anyone who might have an answer to this question!
[Droid 2 General] pulptastic:
Did you have 2.2 on your DI? I haven't been able to use Listen on 2.2 on my D1 or D2. It gives an account error when opening the app, I thought this was a universal problem with Listen on 2.2
[Droid 2 General] macsmister:
Yes I have 2.2 on my Incredible.

I was able to get Listen to work just fine on the Droid 2 other than the podcasts not pausing when receiving calls.

Just try a fresh build, rom flash, radio flash, task 29.

I think these minor problems here and there are a result of community developed android on a windows mobile handset. Every build has somebody with any one of the few issues. For example one of the above posters said he had issues with shubCRAFT where I have had no problems with that build.

I am trying to pass information from a text view into an ImageView to move the ImageView. The problem is I can't use the TextView information because it is defined as a TextView. So is there a way I can get it to use the TextView as an integer?
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
Do you mean you want to convert the text string in the textview to an integer? There's the java.lang.Integer class which has a static member parseInt() which might do what you need:

http://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Integer.html#parseInt(java.lang.String)
[Android Software Development] Metastable:
Not completely sure what your looking for but if I read it right,

imageView.setMethod(parseInt(textView.getText()))

setMethod being which ever method your trying to set the int into.
[Android Software Development] bobhoil:
I need the data from my accelerometer code which looks like so:

I need to put that into my imageview and use scrollby to move the imageview around the screen.
[Android Software Development] Metastable:
I'm not too familiar with imageviews, are you using XMLs for the layout or creating the imageViews programmaticly? I'm assuming the textViews and imageViews are in seperate classes. Thus the easiest way to get the text from the textViews would be to first give them the "protected" token rather than "private" and reference them directly.

imageView.scrollBy(parseInt(TestActivity.accelXValue.getText()));
[Android Software Development] bobhoil:
I have tried that before but no matter what I try I get an error. Here is the error:

So then I change it to static and get the following error:

I can't seem to get something that seems so simple to work.

Having possessed a Nokia N95 8Go and possessing at present also Samsung Wave, I notice that the network sensibility is much less good on Galaxy S (original Rom BUJG2 of SFR update with Kies in JM1 changing keys of the register). I specify that my operator is SFR (on Wave and Galaxy S).

Stock EVO, 2.2...

I just noticed this issue about

three days ago

...my Exchange calendar is constantly syncing, and I do mean constantly.

If you go to Settings - Accounts & Syc - Exchange ActiveSync, you can see the last sync for each item. My calendar constantly reads the same time as system time, and the Sync icon in my notification area is constantly flashing on and off.

I have noticed that my battery is draining VERY fast. I had to put it on a charger twice yesterday (I got the 15% battery warning) with normal use, when I can typically go a full day of use without any issue.

I can deselect Calendar syncing, but of course that's only a temporary fix.

Has anyone else run into this? Anyone heard of a solution? A google search did not yield any results.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khov07:
FIXED!!!

Well I fixed my own problem...though I cannot determine the cause of the issue (I even tried uninstalling some apps I had DL over the past few days), the fix was simple, though it took a while to figure out.

I tried to merely remove/re-add my Exchange sync, but I kept getting 'client/server conversion errors', and my calendar would refuse to sync (though email and contacts did). Furthermore, in Outlook, I would get lots of duplicate entries (interestingly, they were recurring events and all-day events).

This was the solution:

1. Delete Exchange account from EVO (contacts, calendar, email)

2. Since I noticed that my calendar app still had some entries in it, even after deleting the Exchange account, it was evident that there was some data still on my phone that was possibly causing the syncing error. So, I went to Settings - Applications - Manage Applications, and selected the All tab. Scroll down to the 'Calendar' app entries, and you have to clear/delete any cache/storage data in each.

3. Re-synced with Exchange successfully.

I searched around different forums, and it seems many have had a similar issue and have waited in vain for Sprint or HTC to publish a solution.

This one worked for me. Hope it helps others.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubiconag:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warboy:
Well here is my idea. Could we possibly partition the FAT32 part of our phones into more then one partition.

Saying like we could have a few FAT32 based partition, A Primary, One for roms/patches, then etc.

That way when we format the primary, it doesn't delete the roms we could flash. So we didn't need to hook up the phone to the computer to copy roms back over.

I know Recover firmware would need to support this. But it's just a thought.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueScreenOfTOM:
I'm not really an expert at this, but doing a full wipe and installing a new ROM doesn't wipe the contents of your SD Card. Are you saying partition the phone's internal storage? What's wrong with just storing the ROMs on your SD card?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warboy:
I meant like partition the SD Card into multiple partitions, So when you erase the SD:Ext and the FAT32, the ROM Partition doesn't go with it.

So example

SD:Ext - Partition 1

FAT32 - Partition 2 (Default SD Storage)

FAT32 - Partition 3 (ROM Storage, Backup Files)

So when you partition the SD Card though the Recovery it will only format Partition 1 and Partition 2, So if you left somewhere wtihout your computer and tweaking your phone, You could use partition 3 and access your ROM files and backups without going though loops for them.

What recovery are you using. I'm still not sure what you are talking about? I have no problems accessing my roms and kernels. You can do it plenty of ways and not do what you are talking about..

Use root explorer. Can transfer from download folder or if you made a certain folder on SD card for them you can copy paste them to the root directory on SD card if you use RA recovery. Clockwork you can go through every folder looking for the zip using clockwork unlike RA recovery which needs it to be in root of SD card. Your making it hard on yourself..

Why would you want to wipe fat32 and partion?

I don't know if I'm alone in this, but the headset volume for music on my EVO is really quiet-- I'd say it's probably 2/3rds of the max volume my ipod touch was capable of.

It seems that there are now several kernels out there that implement Toast's "Audio Boost" changes, which from what I gather came from Geniusdog, who got them from Pershoot in the Nexus One forums.

However, from the thread in which the changes were first introducted in the Nexus forums (and this post in particular) it seems the changes to the MAX_GAIN settings in q6audio.c apply on to IN-CALL volume on the speaker or headset.

After having tried a kernel with the Audio Boost hack, it seems that IN-CALL volume is higher, but there is no discernable volume gain for normal music or non-phone features, which seems to confirm what was stated in the tread above.

Are there any changes that can be made to the kernel to boost headset audio while not in a call? Or has anyone with one of the AUdio Boost kernels noticed higher headset volume outside of calls?
