HTC Magic

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B

HBOOT-1-33.006

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.19.261

I have problems getting in to the recovery mode (pwr button + home) it just gives me de red vodafone screen and hangs.

I am trying to install a custom rom.

- rooted the device with universal androot. it says my device is rooted succesfully.

- i also installed rom manager and installed the default clockwork recovery.

But i cant reboot into flash recovery.

I also tried another thread with a custem flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img. I followed it's instructions.

the instructions tells me on a terminal session or CMD prompt to install this custom ROM.

adb shell

su

(Now look at your device. If the superuser app is asking for permissions, then just push "allow" and make sure that the "remember" option is checked.)

cd /system/bin

ls

But i get no permission. I cant get root user when i type su.

so I must not have a rooted device or my permissions are incorrect on the sd-card.

Does anyone have an idea what i should do?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Did you reboot your phone after running Universal Androot?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tom0769:
What happens if you switch off the phone and then press and hold home button while pressing the on/of button to switch on the phone.

If you are root and have installed the recovery properly, it should be shown within a few seconds after showing the red vodafon screen. From there you should be able to flash any custom rom. Meanwhile I flashed many recoveries and roms on both my tattoo and my magic 32b. Never had any problem execept those when forgetting to wipe.

And to be honest, I'm far away from beeing an expert!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] carmastyle:
I installed rom manager first and then universal androot.

also when i use adb from the android sdk i sometimes get the problem that i have no permission.

Could it be that the phone is'nt correctly rooted?

I tried all kinds of tools either on pc or mac. nithing really works

what would be the best way to root the HTC Magic correctly and what recovery image should i use. Also wich order.

I'm quite the noob when it comes to installing custom roms
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tom0769:
Try "SuperOneClickv1.6.3-ShortFuse.zip" (available at xda).

This was very easy to use and worked like a charm.

I used it twice on my magic 32b, no problem!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] carmastyle:
I tried that also.

the rooting works. I tried an app to check if i have root access and it says I have root acces.

but when I use adb commands and su to root it will say no permission.

i think this is why installing the recovery in clockwork fails.

any suggestions?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
I'll repeat myself. Have you rebooted the phone after running the root programs? Either one?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] carmastyle:
yes. I rebooted after each try but still I can't get into recovery mode. it just hangs.

also when i try to install a recovery image file i still get the no permissions errors.

the only recovery mode install that worked was the recovery from clockwork in ROM manager.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tom0769:
If ADB is working, goto shell (adb shell).

What do you see in prompt,

is it '$' or '#'?

If it's '$' try "su".

What is the output of "id"?

If you're root you should see something like "uid=0(root) gid=0(root)"
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] carmastyle:
I See a $ and my id is shell instead of root.

if I type su it will give me a no permission error.

however I did download a terminal tool for android

from there I can su and it will make me root.

is there anyway i can use the terminal to install a recovery image so that if i boot my phone with home+power I will get into the recovery?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tom0769:
Try something like this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4056530&postcount=6

Replace the recovery image in the post by for example recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img.

I did it almost the same way.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sickbox:
I was also having a recovery problem (Tmobile) after trying to flash_image RA-1.7.0G into recovery in rooted 2.2.1 OTA (obviously not the way to go). I downloaded the Clockwork Rom Manager from the Market and it was able to flash both Clockwork or Amon RA recovery with no problem and then reboot it into recovery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cyberstoic:
When you reboot and go into recovery, does it load amon_RA or clockworkmod?

I had problems with that from the 2.2.1 OTA.

I was rooted for a long time, and then had to try the t-mo 2.2.1 so I unrooted and ran that for a while after their ota update. It was sluggish and I didn't much like it so I thought I would try using z4root and superoneclick to root it and put setcpu and overclock it a bit to see if it improved. Z4root didn 't work and superoneclick appeared to work. If you went into terminal it would give you # and seem to be rooted. I could install and run set cpu and it would work. However no matter what recovery I tried to install, it would disappear and return to stock recovery upon reboot with the 2.2.1 OTA.

You could get rom manager to load, or seemingly so , clockworkmod recovery. You could also have rom manager load into clockworkmod from within rom manager. Buit as soon as you reboot, it goes back to the default stock recovery.

I eventually gave up with that and decided to reroot old school and rooted it manuallyl. I went back to the sappimg.nbh file, installing the old cyanogen 1.4 recovery, the 1.33.2005 SPL. I then put clockwork mod 2.5.0.7 recovery on and then the t-mo 2.22.23.02. I was running cm6.1 for a while and now Yoshi's ginger rom.

And so, after this wandering tale, lol, I am wondering if you had more success that I did with the 2.2.1 and getting a recovery to load.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
You could have just got booted into recovery once, flashed the engineering SPL only (there's a ZIP you can flash from recovery to do this), which would only change the SPL, from recovery, then erase/reflash the recovery from fastboot, and finally change the SPL back.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cyberstoic:
Thanks; that is very useful , and I didn't even think of that at the time. I think I was so frustrated that the recovery would not stay I just had a "I will make it work moment" and I knew what I was doing would work.

But thanks, I will definitely remember that if I have to do that again

Hello!

I have a big problem.

I might have bricked the device however the things what i can do are the following:

- Boot into recovery (clockworkmod)

- start a usb data connection with a computer (clockworkmod)

- input of the ADB commands through terminal running in the computer

What i did?

Flashed the memory with a Cyanogenmod 6.3 according to official guideline:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Desire_HD:_Full_Update_Guide

and took note and used most procedures from there actually:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2

Didn't do the engineering hboot.

Everything was working. I got cyanogenmod working.

Then after a while i tried to restore a backup which i had from original HTC configuration which was actually just before i did the cyanogenmod flash with clockworkmod.

So the backup was from the time i already unlocked the phone from locks and had root access.

So again the restore function worked and everything was back to normal.

How i managed to half brick the device?

Yesterday i wanted to put cyanogenmod back to my phone and then the s hit happened.

I admit that i didn't check whether the locks were off i just thought that these should have been off because backup soft was from time i had phone unlocked.

Anyway to cut the long story short - after flashing the memory with cyanogenmod with the help of rom manager the phone didn't boot anymore.

I tried all the options from clockworkmod flash and format and upgrade straight from sd card a new cyanogenmod but nothing worked. Again the white HTC screen and connection through a usb cable.

So probably i have the s-off and who knows what else.

I dont have a root access anymore as well because i already tried it through the terminal. It doesn't recognize the su command.

Question is, how can i put the cyanogenmod back on by only using clockworkmod recovery and working ADB connection through usb link?

Probably have to just get the locks off but the original instructions say i have to have terminal emulator running in phone but i only have clockworkmod recovery soft running at best.

S hit, again very long story, but hope someone can help me!

Cheers!

I had a similar problem yesterday, after flashing ClockwordkMod Recovery to version 3.0.0.5 (it said it had an update) and trying to reinstall CyanoGenmod 6.3 my phone would no longer boot, it got stuck in the white HTC Logo screen.

I'm not really an expert on this stuff, but I managed to "recover" my device by downgrading it again to 1.32.405.6 using this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905003. First I had tried to recover a previously backed-up ROM, but that did not work.

I had to put the stock 1.32 PD98IMG.zip file on my SD card using ClockwordMod Recovery (since I could no longer boot), I'm not exactly sure which steps I took to do so, I have tried a lot of things yesterday before I got everything working again.

After this my phone could boot again and I was ready to play around again. I reinstalled CyanogenMod again using an older version of ClockwordMod Recovery. I'm not sure if this is related in any way, but my phone works smooth again..

Once again; I'm really not on expert on how all this stuffs works, I just hope that I can help you on the way with some ideas on how to fix your device.

I figured out wether my device was S-OFF and/or Eng S-OFF by entering "adb reboot bootloader" from cmd. At the top of the page for me it states:

ACE PVT ENG S-OFF

I believe it stated only SHIP S-OFF when I had the problems you describe.
[Desire HD General] vananematu:
Thanks man for quick reply!

I definitely try the downgrading solution and i remember i too did the update for clockworkmod rom manager before the flash.

I'll report back tomorrow.

Cheers!
[Desire HD General] bowier:
couldn't boot up any roms earlier after upgrading clockworkmod recovery to v3... downgraded to 2.5.1.3 and worked fine
[Desire HD General] Pavanka:
Hi Guys, I have exactly the same problem. It would be really great if you provide me the step by step process to downgrade clockworkmod recovery.

Cheers,

Pav
[Desire HD General] vananematu:
I'd like to say to you guys that the downgrading solution worked :)

Didn't have to use any programs inside phone except clocworkmod recovery which was the only thing i had running.

Thank you user jvdminne!

The downgrading solution was in official cyanogenmod guidelines as well but forgot it anyway.

------------

Pavanka!

The downgrading solution from the link is pretty step by step actually.

But anyway, with my half-broken phone the lines didnt do the trick:

adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter

I had to copy psneuter and misc_version to /tmp folder not into /data/local/tmp.

But anyhow, i already had # root access through computer. Probably from last half flashed system.

So only thing i basically had to do was to cd in windows cmd into folder where i had psneuter and misc_version and after that:

adb push misc_version /tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /tmp/misc_version
adb shell

in the shell (adb shell):

cd /tmp
./misc_version -s 1.31.405.6

And after that follow the instructions from previous link.

To get the ADB functions working just follow the guide here or from previous link where it had adb program included, but not sure whether it was working cause i had it from Android SDK package already set.

Hope you got some sense out of it.

Cheers!

Hey

I had similar problems to those mentioned in the beginning with the cyanogen mod...

I installed cyanogen and the it got to the screen with the blue swirlyness and then just kept restarting. I decided to restore a backup and just got stuck on the white htc screen.

I decided to follow this post and now am stuck with this...

I just tried a couple of different things to no avail...
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
If you had ROOT , S-OFF etc you shouldn't need to go through all this rigmarole, if you can access recovery carry out a full wipe /system /cache /dalvik-cache and reflash your chosen ROM, should be all that's required

[Hero, G2 Touch General] bonesy:
The main reason i use Clockworkmod is becuase you can navigate through folders to flash! No more having to put them on the root of SDCARD!

Example,i have a flashable clockworkmod.zip on the root then another folder called "Roms" that has a flashable AmonRA.zip, as well as folders CMOD ELELINUX VILLAINROM all with roms in!

When i need Amon ra i navigate to Roms/amonra.zip and flash it, then when i want clockworkmod i use amonra and flash clockworkmod from the zip no the root of sd :)
