[myTouch 3G, Magic General] andras_m:
UPDATE: After reading tons of forum pots, seems I have found the source of the problem and seems that became a common issue: I've installed Rogers 2.1 manually over CM custom ROM with froyo (SPL 1.33.xxxx and RADIO 3.22.xx.xx) without knowing that Rogers will not update both RADIO and SPL.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rafizlib:
Exactly the same problem. Please help me

I have exactly the same problem after the installation of Rogers.

I have created a gold cord and I tried several Rogers Rom, no success :mad:

My device:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

HBOOT-1.76.0010 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-3.22.20.17

Jan 14 2010,00:14:58

I ran the installation of Rogers 3.05.631.7 but the installation faild to update the radio and then I tried to flash zips manually and now My HTC run with the Roger's logo, but the start-up loops indefinetely...

With the mode RUU or FastBoot, I can't apply other recovery, radio or boot image...

Therefore, what can I do to restore my HTC Magic to install another ROM...

Rogers installer grrrrrrr....:mad:

Thank you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] andras_m:
Unfortunately I'm still hooked with the problem. Tried almost everything. Now I'm searching for the original T-Mobile android 2.2 RUU. Maybe i will find it and will solve the problem. Regards
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rafizlib:
Ok. I go on my research... I tried with SAPPIMG.vbh executed in the HBOOT but I have another error: "Main version is older"... It's impossible to downgrade the phone.

I'm going to try with other SAPPIMG to breack the radio....

I hope that we will find a solution.

Thank you
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] andras_m:
I'm gonna make a list of the things that I've tried for everyone:

1. I've tried to run all the RUUs from here:

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Sapphire/

2. I've tried to run the ROGERS 2.1 RUU again

3. I've tried with SAPPIMG.zip extracted from Rogers 2.1 RUU and deployed on a goldcard

4. I've tried with original SAPPIMG.zip

5. I've tried with SAPPIMG.nbh

6. I've tried to modify the ROGERS 2.1 SAPPIMG.zip so it looks newer

7. I've tried with ASIA WWE test signed SAPPIMG.zip modified so it looks newer

8. I've tried

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot boot recovery.img

9. I've tried

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

More things I've did as soon as I remember

So, here what I did and not worked:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash radio radio.img

this gives signature error

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip rom1.zip

this gives main version is older error

I've tried those commands from both extracted version of my RUU and

from the RUU from your attachment

Can you put a step by step guide please?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Try to call

fastboot oem resetRUUflag

before you call

fastboot oem rebootRUU

You also don't need to call rebootRUU before you call flash zip update.zip... just do it in fastboot mode.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] andras_m:
fastboot oem resetRUUflag

gives command error

if i try fastboot flash zip update.zip i get

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ishanISCOOOL:
same here :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] andras_m:
Now i've got into another problem:

I've managed to enter adb mode (by letting the phone connected and with rogers logo on it I've observed he installs some drivers) and I've done the following things:

Mount System in RW mode

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

>adb shell

# cd /system

# mkdir andras

>adb push recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img /system/andras

# cd /system/andras

# flash_image recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img

Then I've boot into recovery mode using POWER + HOME and I've did flash zip from SDCARD. I've flashed

Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_6.35.10.18.img

and the n the phone asked for restart.

After restart surprise, I could not enter fastboot, adb, i could not see rogers logo, anything.

I've run into the situation found here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBciNMhoAs8

I know I was running into that situation some time ago but I've managed to get out. Now, I can't remember how :(.

Someone help please?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ishanISCOOOL:
Hey can you give me the complete steps of how you booted into the recovery :)

or how you got adb working
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] andras_m:
Hi,

First of all I've used USBDebview and cleared all HTC items that where present there.

Then I've let the phone open for a while until the computer detected it and installed some drivers. Then it gave me access to adb

Good luck
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ishanISCOOOL:
Were you able to get to rogers splash screen and if how?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
DAMN YOU... have you flashed an eng spl, then you have got your phone back....

From now on, never update radio from recovery... it will fail... i know 3 people now who got bsod (blue/black screen of death).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] andras_m:
In other words I've F**KED it, ha?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Not completely....

On you are on a very strange device state.

Happened to someone i tried to help over the net...

You are not bricked, since you can charge, power on and see the screen(some picture on it).

But you are not rebooting either... you are in zombie state.

The only way to get out is to mash the back button while you boot up!

The radio is not written to the device... the device is still trying to complete the task... but it will not complete... it's just stock in that state!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] andras_m:
do i have to mesh it only until the icon with the package goes out or after that too?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] andras_m:
Still pressing the back button like a crazy

please can someone make the update.zip contained in d link for Mgic 32a please
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] andras_m:
what do you need?
[Android Software Development] mini_robot:
As far as physical goes...Android has too many buttons. IMO you only need:

Button 1

Press Once = Sleep

Press Twice = Wake

Long Press = Shutdown/Turn On

Button 2

Press Once = Desktop

Press Twice = AppDrawer

Long Press = Open/Close Dockbar (scrollable dock for heavily used apps such as phone, messaging, music, etc that doesnt take up screen space.)

Button 3

Volume up/down

and possibly a dedicated CAPACITIVE scrolling/zooming button for fast scanning thru the app drawer and/or desktops and/or scrolling/zooming in web browsers.

(this way u can have larger widgets on ur desktops because u have a dedicated app drawer button and not one that takes up space on ur desktop. plus ur not limited to just 7 desktops like u get with HTC preview screens or launcherpro, etc because it would be easy to scroll thru 20 desktops with the dedicated capacitive scroll)

Ok. So if u put the sleep/wake on top of the phone, volume button on the left side, your left with just one button like the iphone and maybe my proposed idea of the capacitive scrolling button (thats if u like that idea).

this would be different from the iphone even though the iphone has one button because its functions are different. the iphone button does BACK+LONG PRESS=HOME. this would do a DESKTOP/APPDRAWER+LONG PRESS= DOCKBAR.

so it has 3 functions instead of 2. add in the capacitive scrolling and u have a simple easy to use device without redundant buttons thats still different from

apples iphone.

-no need for back button. browsers and apps can provide soft buttons in its user interface.

-no need for search button. widgets and apps can be used for this on ur desktop

-no need for settings button. again, widgets and apps can be used on ur desktops. put ur desktops to use!

great if u understood what i said. sorry for the rant if u didnt. just an idea and my 2cents.

[Android Software Development] deepside7:
Get an iphone if you want less buttons.

I personally love the back, home and menu buttons, and find them very very useful.
[Android Software Development] Brut.all:
Errr... my three most frequent used buttons are: back, home and menu and you want to remove 2 of them. Yeah, great idea ;-)
[Android Software Development] mik101:
I agree, the last iphone I used pissed me off hard not having a physical back button....
[Android Software Development] f_padia:
I agree. back and home are essential! relying too much on soft buttons is silly. Also if you really dont like the OS because of the number of hard buttons then I think you are a little confused.

The hard buttons are usually decided by the manufacturer arent they? maybe your rant should be directed at htc and not android? I could be wrong.
[Android Software Development] safeplayer22:
That is steve jobs talk. -_-
[Android Software Development] starfarer:
LOL...I'm short of buttons. Idea = Long press Menu-> contacts and Long press Back->screen off or Camera, Trackball press -> receive/pickup call at lockscreen.
[Android Software Development] UpSpin:
search button: yep, that button is needless, I never use it.

All other buttons are essential.

The home button and back button are very important. The back button isn't just for going one page in a browser back. Couldn't live with it. The menu button is very important, too, because it's a dedicated button which is the same in EVERY app, so you always know how to find the settings.

And then, volume and power button, you can't remove them.

PS: Two times button hitting to execute a command is silly.
[Android Software Development] veetip:
This is where the Galaxy S shines: the menu button acts as both the menu and search buttons.
[Android Software Development] Mike Montz:
I think the search button is indispensable. When I want to find any contact or document in my phone, any thing in google it gets me there in one step.
[Android Software Development] kekkle:
Lol, this dude is tripping. Giving up my 4 beautiful and all useful buttons. In instead lose screen estate cause every app is gonna make the SAME thing at the bottom as the buttons?

Lol. GTFO :D
[Android Software Development] SeanFloyd:
You may have heard of this semi-obscure device that is basically what you are looking for. It is called the "iPhone", if you look it up on the interwebs you may be able to find something about it.
[Android Software Development] kevin2516:
less buttons? seriously? im sorry to hear you cannot afford an iphone if you want it that bad.
[Android Software Development] Steven__:
I'd agree as well that some physical buttons are very useful to avoid wasting screen real estate with buttons. That said, the HTC Hero has 6 buttons (call, hang up, menu, home, back and search) which is probably a bit OTT as call and hang up are replicated on-screen all the time. But buttons like home, back and menu are essential, as others have said.

The key is that if *all* Android hardware has the same core set of buttons, then developers can rely on those buttons being there and use them intelligently. All too often you see programs which have clearly been ported over from another system without any effort having been made to adapt them to the Android system. Not only do these waste space, but they also feel counter-intuitive to an Android user because they use a different UI model. My particular pet-peeve is apps which forget to take control of the volume rocker for their audio - that makes me accidentally adjust my ringtone volume (which is normally silent!) instead of the app's volume :mad:

Umm, sorry for the rant...
[Android Software Development] mercianary:
Like the pause button on angry birds. Have they realised androids have a button called menu?
[Android Software Development] shoemeistah:
I love the 4/5 physical buttons on android, even if you don't use the search button a lot at first, you can always assign that button to something you want.
[Android Software Development] firemedic1343:
I wish I had 1 more button...a dedicated forward button...I get a little jumpy with my back button.

Less is not always more. Less is sometimes just less(i.e. iPhone)
[Android Software Development] veetip:
Well, you could try pressing the Menu button to see that they have!
[Android Software Development] mercianary:
Yeah I know. My point is the button onscreen is a waste of space because it it replicated by a hardware button.
[Android Software Development] Jus10o:
The "search" button is more of a Google thing. Its a android phone (google) so they want a search option of there database to be easily accessed.
[Android Software Development] barisahmet:
LOL.

No buttons needed actually, there is voice commands.

Or maybe one button, 1 sec press = menu, 2 sec press=back, 3 sec press = zoom in, 4 sec press = zoom out, 5 sec press = makes u coffee?

If you like my idea, buy me a beer.
[Android Software Development] galaxys:
buttons are old school :eek: voice is new school :cool:
[Android Software Development] mercianary:
Voice commands just don't work for the majority of users most of the time, its about time manufacturers realised this and scrapped the idea.

If i had to wait 4 seconds to zoom out I wouldnt be a happy at all.
[Fascinate General] DigitalDementia:
I'm not sure what the issue is here but ever since the new update, I'm getting absurd hangups of lag when installing applications. My phone just freezes and I can't do anything until the apps has installed... anyone else experience this issue?
[Fascinate General] DeezNotes:
I've had that happen on my Eris, so I just chalked it up to being "normal."
[Fascinate General] DigitalDementia:
It's certainly far from being normal, it never happened on my Droid 2, Incredible, and rarely on my Droid. It's unacceptable that a 1ghz processor should struggle so hard, especially after being called the strongest processor. It seems whatever tweaks they've done severely affect multi-tasking in general because it happens all the time now that I think about it.
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
This should be fixed with froyo. But this is what the lagfixes are for. There is the OCLF n the market, run it at 700mb(u will c what I mean if u use it) it will not lag at all anymore. Then do quadrant. Its a little bloated but shows the true potential. Try it, post back

they call me...kick ass
[Fascinate General] Florynce:
I had this happen to me on my incredible too, but that was after I had it for almost 6 months.
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
I'm guessing you're seeing the effect of the poor performance that Samsung's proprietary filesystem offers. That's a disk I/O problem, not a CPU problem. The lag fix partially fixes this by creating a virtual ext2 filesystem, but not everything goes on that filesystem. The apps themselves are still installed on Samsung's filesystem, so the larger the app, the more "lag" you'll notice as the system waits for the data to be written. Hopefully they will change the filesystem with the Froyo upgrade, but I wouldn't count on it. Best hope for fixing that is probably a custom ROM.
[Fascinate General] DigitalDementia:
I figured that might be the issue... can't wait for voodoo to make it's way here, I'm going to hold off of the other lag fix and just wait for voodoo.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nima352000:
ok ... i guess i should say that yes i did "search" about it and i just didn't find the answers that i was looking for ! that's why i ask it here..

so i rooted and apply the lagfix to my samsung captivate. now everytime if go to setting>software update . it just says that "no firmware" or "dm initialization is not ready" ! i know there is no update available for samsung captivate yet ( im on jh7) but when there is how can i update ??!!! and is it safe to update ? how do i restore back to original setting ? (sorry i used iphone for so long and i am still not used to this phone yet ) what i needed to know is how do u restore this phone if something goes wrong ?! i messed up my iphone several times but it was no problem ! all i had to do was fire up itune and hit restore...!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonyump:
Are you using the voodoo lagfix? If yeah..then you would want to disable that and restore a stock kernel before you do any future updates. Then reinstall it after. If something ever goes wrong with your phone, you can always put the phone in download mode and flash a stockRom with odin.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nima352000:
Well eveytime I check for update it said no firmware . It doesn't even go to menu and say checking for new update from att server and all that ! Is that normal ? And I don't know what lagfix I'm using. I download it from here and it has a shortcut with the name of SL4A and I installed the lagfix-ext4.sh from its options
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donniedy:
I am new to the Android world and just got a Captivate rooted it using UNLEASH THE BEAST V0.2 from this Forum.

Now I cannot update the phone with the new AT&T fix and could not find a place explaining how to do it. I read the tread above about restore a stock kernel, flash a stockRom with odin.

Can someone be kind to explain that and maybe put a link up of a tutorial.

I would really appreciate that and hopefully get my phone updated.

By the way my firmware version is 2.1

That is the Odin one click downloader- it restores your phone to stock, make sure you make a back up first because it WILL erase everything in the process. The thread should have adequate instructions as well

I suggest you do a task29 to your device, flash a new radio, flash an android-friendly rom (chuckydroid for example) then format your sd once again and go with the most recent build available.

I believe your problem may lie with the rom. It is the one part of this equation that you did not mention in your post.
