[Recovery] [32A & 32B] [16-May-2010] RA-sapphire-v1.7.0

[lucskyywalker]

So I have tried and tried and tried to get this to work with the "simple" re-boot method. Still have 1.2.3 and cannot get it to upgrade. I have a MT3G with a brand new class 6 card. I am using Cyanogen 4.2.15.

I didn't have a data folder so I created one.
Changed the name to recovery.img
put the file into the new data folder
rebooted all the way thru to the home screen
rebooted to recovery STILL 1.2.3!

What am I doing wrong?

or how about you rename the recovery file to something simple like recovery.img (not recovery.img.img that is a common mistake) put it on the root of your sd card, go to terminal and type:

$su
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Anyway us magic users want some carebear love too!

[UberMario]

I tweeted Amon_RA about updating the magic recovery (a.k.a this one) so we can get some carebear love and he replied he will try to this weekend so a release should be around this weekend or next week.

Hey everyone, having problems using nand and bart backup options on my GFs mytouch. Was flashing the latest CM tonight and could not create backup. It would abort as soon as it started. Couldn't flash new CM thru recovery (again aborted instantly). Re-flashed recovery and still couldn't. Finally tried to update thru CMUpdater and was successful (all be it without a nand :p). After successfully flashing the new CM i again tried to boot into recovery and create a nand, again it would abort right away. I have plenty of space on her SD card, so anyone have any ideas? Please?

EDIT: Pulled manually and it worked!! Still cant backup/restore from recovery tho.... Any ideas? Thanks to #cyanogenmod on freenode for the help!!

Thank you, flashing now, I know its gonna be good question is carebear or no carebear...hmm decisions, decisions...

[martin0285]

Hello, just upgraded to pink-carebears and still can't make a nand backup from the menu in recovery. I still need to adb shell, backup-mobile.sh -b LALALA. Was wondering if anyone had any ideas? Thanks

EDIT: Also, it aborts installations when trying to flash any zip from SD card ect. I have to do everything in recovery manually. Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks Amon, for your awesome works. and a small Q, what does this change mean? Is that means that we can't use Nandroid option to backup the whole data like before? It works perfectly in the previous version.

You can just use nandroid the way you used it before, all your data will still be back-upped. The only difference is that it will not update stuff you don't really need to have a backup of.

My apologizes....pastebin here http://pastebin.com/J3L7HqRa as you'll be able to tell I updated to CM.15.1 from CMUpdater, once the update was finished again tried nand, nand+ext,Bart ect. Thanks for all your work!!

EDIT: OMG I am a complete idiot. I'm so used to my nexus1 that when messing with the GFs mytouch, *SIGH*, i've been making the rediculous error of hitting TRACKBALL, thus *SIGH*, aborting the nand backup, installation ect.. I'm just happy I realized this myself and it didn't take someone posting a reply....WOW I feel real dumb....lol

[march83]

Feature request for the next release, would out be possible to have a shut down option as well as restart? I occasionally have cause to shutdown from recovery to access fastboot or whatever but at the moment the only way to do this is to pull the battery which is far from ideal.

[kencix]

I have the latest cursors custom recovery made by you..
shall I remove that, and flash with the latest hero 1.6.2 recovery?

[arthofer]

got a stupid problem...

if i try to flash it via adb (with 1.5.2 amon RA recovery), i get an "erase error (0x082something)
if i try to flash it via fastboot, i get a "failed Checking info signature"

but if i erase recovery by using "fastboot erase recovery" and then use the adb thingy, it works if i try the adb flash thing about 1-5 times

I never made a cursors custom recovery... so yes you should flash the latest hero recovery.

No you didn't, but he did made custom recovery.. from ur recovery :).. That's what I mean ;)

[JoelOFH]

This is strange.

When I did... Wipe Rotate > Wipe Battery > Full Wipe, the blue care bear went away and was replaced with the HTC symbol. :/

[leave]

This is a custom recovery based on Cyanogen's recovery source.
The purpose of this recovery is to avoid using adb by accessing all features directly from the menu.

This recovery if for the HTC Magic/MT3G only, if you have an :
- HTC Dream/G1 you should go here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4647751&postcount=1).
- HTC Hero you should go here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4549551&postcount=1).
- HTC Sprint Hero you should go here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4898505&postcount=1).

32A users with SPL 1.76.x should flash the Hero version!


I think that the red big row for 32A and new radio users should change to "Custom Recovery RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.5.2" in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592856 by cursordroid. Maybe there will be Custom Recovery RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.6.2 based on your new work.

Does the new recovery restore the nandroid backup by the old recovery perfectly?

I advice you to upgrade to 1.6.2 and not use any older recovery because some binaries contain bugs that will bork your backups.

Yes it will restore old nandroid backups (if they don't contain any bad blocks).

[BrandoHD]

tried all the methods of flashing this new recovery except putting the recovery into the data folder and rebooting, all have failed, can some one please assist me in trying the first method, i don't know how to put the image in the data folder

EDIT: i have tried all methods of flashing this new recovery, help please, its a rogers magic with SPL 2010 S-OFF running SuperD 1.9.3 Port 1.3

I've successfully flashed the green carebear version. Veeeerry nice :)
(Magic 32b Google Branded whatsoever)
I love it :P
Plus I finally got rid of my perfected spl. Never wanted to touch this after I've bricked my first magic but now that I'm through with it, my phone feels less crippled :)

[noroses]

Hi,

I'm coming from a stock 1.5 ROM. Flashed the RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H recovery using fashrec. I can enter recovery mode but after a few seconds the phone freezes and then reboots. I've tried flashing using adb but got the same result. Tried the Pink version...saw the care bear (funny idea btw!), moved up and down in options but after a while got the same result once again (freeze folowed by a reboot after a few minutes). Could not find the recovery.log, where is it?

Here is my SPL and radio:

Thanks in advance! ;)

[Ceba]

Hi, dunno whether i bricked my phone or not just now but..

Ive had the myhero-rom for a couple of months, but after messing around last night trying a different rom using flashrec I cant update it (due a "No signature, Verification failed"-error message".


Using the TheUnlockr UnRooting-guide:
loading up the sappimg.nbh in fastboot..I get the error message: Model ID incorrect.

Anyone know what to do? Please :/

[MarcLister]

Have been trying to flash this recovery over my old one. I'm running Cyanogen's latest mod.

I've tried the simple reboot method. The recovery.img file is in /data but when I do a reboot and then a recovery reboot I still see the old recovery GUI.

I can't get the terminal method to work. I do "su" followed by "mount -a" but when I run "mount -a" I get an error message saying something doesn't exist.

I haven't tried the ADB method yet; I assume that needs the Android SDK installing?

Before I try the ADB method does anyone have any ideas why the simple reboot method isn't working? I've compared the screenshot of the Amon Ra recovery in the first post to what I see on the phone and there's no similarity at all.

I am using Engineering SPL 1.33.2010

when I flash 1.6.2H under 1.5.2H(flash zip from sdcard)
it shows:
E: No signature(1 files)

Installation aborted!

and I try in recovery flasher:
it say unable to backup the img.

how can I fix this problem and update to 1.6.2H ? Thanks in advance

[ryanoption]

Could someone please help!I followed the Unlockr's instructions on how to root mytouch 1.2 and I have no touch screen to get the phone going.Which recovery image should I use?WTF should I do in general.Am I screwed??

[Pfeffernuss]

Maybe I missed it somewhere in this thread (but I do read it every day ;)) but why does this recovery backup less than the previous one? Using 1.5.2 a lot more stuff get's backed up.

Yesterday after an unsuccesfull JIT attempt I tried to restore a 1.6.2 backup but that failed. Using 1.6.2 to restore a 1.5.2 backup worked. Looking in the respective folders I saw that the 1.5.2 folder contained more files.

Maybe a "full" backup is also possible using scripts but I find just selecting Nandroid Backup on the phone itself much easier. Maybe for this reason I will go back to 1.5.2, or am I missing something here!? :confused:

i have done this - i hope its correct

(i have renamed the img to "recovery.omg)

i did though, its on my sdcard and i pointed it there

u used

Yup I did exactly

or how about you rename the recovery file to something simple like recovery.img (not recovery.img.img that is a common mistake) put it on the root of your sd card, go to terminal and type:

$su
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Anyway us magic users want some carebear love too!

I did try to flash the recovery using terminal just like that..no luck. Then again I'm sure I missed at least one step in trying that out.

Hi
My phone: HTC Magic 32A, spl: 1.76.2007, radio: 6.35.10.18, rom: CursorSense 1.2.6.1 + HoFo, recovery: RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.6.2

Why after flash recovery the phone won't turn on (stop on second splash) and I must re-flash rom or restore nandroid backup? I tried 3 different recovery and have the same result.


Edit: On second sd card my nandroid backup isn't done but I got message in recovery: backup complete!
There is recovery.log:

why is there an option to go to console for g1 but not mytouch? I want to be able to use console from recovery on mytouch.. what am i missing? thanx! /noob

The Dream/G1 has a physical keyboard so that is why they can do console while all the other users can't. You can't use the touchscreen in recovery mode (so that you don't accidentally press a option or something like that)

ADB is the same thing as console so use ADB instead.

Hi
My phone: HTC Magic 32A, spl: 1.76.2007, radio: 6.35.10.18, rom: CursorSense 1.2.6.1 + HoFo, recovery: RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.6.2

Why after flash recovery the phone won't turn on (stop on second splash) and I must re-flash rom or restore nandroid backup? I tried 3 different recovery and have the same result.




Moving : .[/CODE]

Have you tried using the Hero recovery image as stated on the first page for your SPL?

[Ponczek87]

yes i have tried RA-hero-v1.6.2 and have the same on this sd card..

[noroses]

Hi,

I'm coming from a stock 1.5 ROM. Flashed the RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H recovery using fashrec. I can enter recovery mode but after a few seconds the phone freezes and then reboots. I've tried flashing using adb but got the same result. Tried the Pink version...saw the care bear (funny idea btw!), moved up and down in options but after a while got the same result once again (freeze folowed by a reboot after a few minutes). Could not find the recovery.log, where is it?

Here is my SPL and radio:

Any ideas? Still stuck.. :confused:

[smjfosho]

so my recovery on mytouch says RA-dream-1.4 and im notable to flash the sapphire recovery, should i just flash the newest dream recovery?

[Amon_RA]

No, you have a sapphire, not a dream.... so flash the latest RA-sapphire for the 32B.

[smjfosho]

No, you have a sapphire, not a dream.... so flash the latest RA-sapphire for the 32B.

it doesnt work, it says flash_image not found

[Amon_RA]

it doesnt work, it says flash_image not found

That means that your current rom doesn't have the binary flash_image... This has nothing to do with this recovery.

Contact your rom dev or use fastboot to flash.

[Atae]

Could you explain what this has to do with the recovery?
And what does the cursor mod have that my latest hero recovery doesn't have?

I just flashed the old recovery (6.35) and it works fine. On the 1.6.2 Hero on my 32a sapphire it won't allow me to flash 32b roms, gives an error saying incompatible device or something (won't let me flash a rom built for dream). I'll try and find the error when i get home.

[smjfosho]

oh ok, thanks man, ill switch roms then flash then go back

So the cursor mod recovery allows you to flash 32b roms on a 32a phone?

[Amon_RA]

oh ok, thanks man, ill switch roms then flash then go back

You can also just push the flash_image binary... ;)
Or just fastboot boot the recovery and use the flash_image command via adb...

[smjfosho]

how would i go about pushing the flash_image binary?

I get that with bart and nandroid.

Or try multiple times.

Take a look at the link to BART at the bottom of the features on page one. He gives the commands to type yourself.

I'm guessing those could be done in ADB on your computer. I haven't tried it myself yet, but I want to try other roms and still be able to use the current CM for my daily stuff... so I'll be trying it soon.

If you can get into fastboot then try again:

From Page One:
Copy recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H.img to a location where fastboot can find it.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode (boot while holding BACK)
Connect your phone via usb to your pc/mac/...
fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your phone)
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H.img

just wondering if this is happening to any one else and if they know how to fix it... When i back up a rom with either option, you know to try something else out, but when i restore it it just either wont boot, or it will then totally freeze on the home screen and not boot again. Got any ideas? i am using 1.6.2G on my My Touch.

@RA
Correct me if I'm wrong...

If I want to use BART to manage multiple backups, I need to do it thru ADB? There isn't an interactive BART menu thats burried that I'm not finding?

Will an interactive BART be added in the future? It makes it difficult to impress my friends by switching roms on the fly if I have to plug into my computer to do it. ;-)

BART can not be interactive via the menu, how will you enter a backup name without keyboard?

[KaizenMobile]

Hello,

If I loose my phone or get it stolen, I can wipe it using Exchange wipe function, but it reboots immediately to Android system recovery, giving the new "owner" all the tools to have a brand new phone ready to use.

Would it be possible to request a password prior to enter Android system recovery ?

[tsheeley]

:shrug: I dunno.

Hmm... maybe have it do sequential numbering... or maybe a date/time stamp of some sort as the file name?

The nandroid that comes with this recovery image doesn't seem to do a full backup. I'm only getting boot, data and system. With cyanogen's recovery, I was getting those three as well as cache, misc, recovery. Is there any way to change this behavior, or is it stuck this way in the image?

I don't see any options to expand the backup, so if I missed something, feel free to make me feel stupid for it.

This is from the Original Post on Page 1 of this Thread:

Change-log :
v1.6.2
Code:
- Added power off menu item
- New unyaffs binary patched by Koushik Dutta and Packetlss to fix the "losing root"-issue and incorrect file-time after a Nandroid restore
- New dump_image binary (by Brainaid) patched by Packetlss to fix the "bad blocks"- Nandroid restore issue.
(This will not fix old corrupted Nandroid backups! Please make new backups!!)
- New mkyaffs2image binary
- New flash_image binary
- Updated busybox to v1.5.3
- Nandroid menu options will NOT backup or restore recovery, cache, misc, splash1+2 (to avoid issues)
- Fixed wipe option not wiping when ext was not present
- Created carebear versions after the idea of packetlss
- Switched the Nexus logo to a Green Carebear with Nexus One logo (Thanks Montalbert!)

Definitely gotta read the original posts:cool:

You can still run nandroid manually.

Ok...I don't like asking much but this time I don't know what else to try.
I got stuck on the FAILED (remote: no allow) I was trying to install 1.6.2 after rooting my mytouch 3g v1.2 with SPL 1.33.0013,previous version v1.5.2 was working great.
I followed all the steps I was installing the new recovery image via adb shell,everything seemed to be working but once the installation was done I restarted and tried to boot into recovery but no luck....the screen shows the HTC logo and that is,unless I pull the battery out and restart....which works great.
The phone works great but no matter what I do...no recovery...tried via terminal,adb shell,fastboot and no luck,I even tried to install both versions H/G though my device is a 32A.

Anybody came across this crazy thing?I have seen some posts regarding this issue but it did not help at all,maybe I am missing something.

Thanks guys.

I flashed the newest recover image. I used to use the recovery image that cursordroid modified (1.5.2 of yours) which solved the non-mounting sd card problem, always mount the sd card right away in recovery mode. However, the 1.6.2 from yours got the same problem of sd card non-mounting problem again.

Is it possible to fix this problem for good?

make sure you dont have SPL 1.76.x, if so you have to flash the hero version (see page 1, original post)
also, not sure if this works on 1.5 stock

also, if your phone reads "google" on the back cover, flash the G version
if it reads "HTC" on the back cover, flash the H version

did you try flashing through terminal emulator?
place zip on sdcard in the root folder and go to terminal
type

$su
(forget the mount -a command, its not necessary)
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H.img (or recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img)

(obviously, dont type the "$" or the "#")

by the way if you dont have this http://www.androlib.com/android.application.jackpal-androidterm-zxnC.aspx terminal emulator, you wont be able to type numbers in in it, so get this one first

Why?? My Hero recovery works fine on that radio...

because some rom can't wipe with hero recovery.
such as some eclair rom for 6.35 radio

Tried booting the RA recovery using fast-boot. Got the same problem: Freeze followed by a reboot.

I'm kind of lost here? Could it be a radio problem? Should I re-flash it? :confused:

Thanks!

That can mean two things :

- you are using the wrong version : G instead of H (or other way around)
- the img file you flashed is corrupted (did you check the md5sum?)

Hi!

I re-checked everything and manage to boot the recovery via fast-boot and it did not freeze! Amazing! I was going crazy with this! The only thing I did different was the download. I downloaded via rapidshare and not the mirror this time. Maybe I missed something before but I had already checked those two things. Going to flash via fast-boot now! ;)

I'll keep you guys posted!

OK, looks like it was a false alarm :(

Here's the situation:

Had problems with RA recovery freezes since the start and with different versions. Checked the version (H) and the MD5, they where all correct. Tried cm-recovery-1.4-32A and it seemed to work fine but when I flashed a ROM (1.6) I had similar problems with the ROM (freezes). Curiously I flashed my hero 2.0.5 (1.5) and had no problems.

With the cm-recovery-1.4-32A flashed I can boot into the latest RA recovery, scroll down the options and it does not freeze (I had one reboot, with no freeze, in 3 tries). The problem is that I can´t flash it trough fast-boot since I don't have an ENG SPL. Tried ADB and Flash-rec and flashed it but I got the freeze problem once again. Re-checked the version and MD5 and they where all correct.

Conclusion: If I have the RA recovery flashed and try booting into RA recovery using fast-boot I get the freeze problems once again (maybe the flashed recovery over-rights the boot one?). When I have de CM recovery flashed I can fast-boot into RA recovery with no freeze problems (I have it on boot recovery for like 20 minutes, scroll down the options, etc, and had no problems until now).

Why can't I flashed it? Could it be the SD card since the boot works? Could it be the Radio? Kind of lost here :confused:

Edit: Ok, it looks like it still freezes sometimes. Rebooted and booted into recovery using fast-boot but can't get it to work now. It just freezes everytime...Why does this happen? Any clues?

Thanks for your help!

Try this

Download the img file
place in root of sd card
rename to "recovery-backup" without quotes
open flash rec.apk
click the "restore backup" button.

flashrec will recognize the Amun RA image as your backup instead of the stock recovery and flash it instead.

That can mean two things :

- you are using the wrong version : G instead of H (or other way around)
- the img file you flashed is corrupted (did you check the md5sum?)

Checked the version (H) and the MD5 several times, they where all correct.

Tried booting the latest RA recovery trough fast-boot and it worked fine the first two times I did it (scrolled down the options for like 10 minutes and it didn't freeze). After that it did not work right and got the freezes+rebooting problem back again. Tried ADB, Flash-rec and flashed the recovery but got the freeze+reboot problem once again. Re-checked the version and MD5 and they where all correct.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

[sindrefyrn]

You should install the version that's matching with your radio and SPL.

[octupusisonfire]

I'm having the same problem as noroses, after I run that 'fastboot boot' command the phone restarts but never boots. I've tried a bunch a times with all 5 images available in the first always with the same outcome.

[octupusisonfire]

Try this

Download the img file
place in root of sd card
rename to "recovery-backup" without quotes
open flash rec.apk
click the "restore backup" button.

flashrec will recognize the Amun RA image as your backup instead of the stock recovery and flash it instead.

I tried this and it didn't work for me. If I do as you say, flash rec goes 'working do not interrupt' and nothing, doesn't do anything else, I've left it for about 10minutes. If I use that 'download recovery image' it thinks that my phone is 32A when is in fact, 32B.

EDIT: so I tried every method a could find again and only got results through Flashrec. As I said before, flashrec recognizes my phone as beeing a 32A when its a 32B but I thought it wouldn't hurt try to flash a H recovery. Turns out it booted just fine.
I still haven't done anything with it.

It's really not good idea to stick with this recovery or it's ok to go with it and flash a rom ?

EDIT2: I just tried the fastboot mode again and is funny how the recovery image H boots just fine and the G doesn't, since my phone is a 32B. I'm really confused at this point hahah

[kibeki]

I have problems to start the flashed recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img.
The magic is 32b with Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2010.
I already tried to flash with adb and fastboot.
When I try to boot the recovery with "fastboot boot recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img" the magic hangs in the splash screen.
Any help is highly appreciated!!!

EDIT: the same for me here - I have a 32b with Google on the back of the cover and reflashed with H-version of recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H.img.
That works for me!!

Doesn't seem like the same problem. I can boot into recovery mode and scroll down the options but after a few seconds the recovery just freezes and then reboots. Checked the version (H) MD5Sums and everything was correct!

I have a 32A but tried booting the G version from fast-boot (your method, just the other way around ;)). Did not work for me. It just hangs on the splash screen. The same happens with the hero version. I knew it would not work but there were no risks and thought about giving it a try.

[qamrij]

Hi thanx for the great work

I have a 32a with HBOOT 1.76.2007 what recovery i should install??? the hero version mean i have to download the recovery for the hero and install that or what????

thnx

[knny1491]

Okay so I had to get a replacement phone from Tmobile today because of Hardware issues, afterwards I decided to jsut get my 3.5mm jack mytouch back from my sister. My question is can I put this recovery image onto my phone, if so do I use the G version? I know I'd have to use the fastboot method most likely.

[voxluna]

... mount -a will try to mount everything that is defined in /etc/fstab.
With that command I want to make sure that everything defined in fstab is mounted.

Just a PSA here ... everyone should consider donating to developers who are really busting ass to get the job done. One of these persons is Amon_RA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1461524) -- he's maintained a long line of constantly updated images. They're essential to my day-to-day maintenance of my G1 and now my MT3G LE. He also answers questions in the forum without reservation. Thank you. That is all! ;)

[OnlyOneBDS]

can anyone help me out on this. i have a myTouch 3G and i'm a little confused by what i see in the fastboot screen

this is what i see:

so my question being that i have a myTouch phone that has Google label on the back, shouldn't have it be G instead of H?

also with that said, being that it says H, do i need to use the RA-v1.6.2H recovery image?

[eyegor]

The version of the recovery that you should use depends on the version of the radio that you have. I do not know why your phone is showing H - it could be because of the SPL but it doesn't matter.
Since that radio is a 32B radio go with the G recovery :)

ok cool because i thought that i did something wrong here. now i have another question concerning this. after flashing my first rom (MLIGN v3.3), i can use any other rom out there. when i try to flash a new rom and reboot, it get's stuck the myTouch green screen.

of course i did the wipe of everything...i even repartition my sdcard and nothing!! wth!?!?!?

OK, from what I have read - PVT 32B boards are suppose to have 192MB of memory...

..I have one that has 288MB...and it is not a 32A...

We're talking about the white phone, right? That sure sounds like a Fender/LE/1.2 version of MyTouch. Does it have a headset jack on the top?

Concerned that if I root and install RA recovery rom, that I will loss the additional memory The recovery image should not affect your memory.

But, if it is a Fender inside, you'll need a specific ROM for it to work at all. For example, the touchscreen is broken in G1/MT3G ROMs. You'll probably need to root using the goldcard method, too.

Don't hold me to this, but I have read that the Fender is a hybrid of 32A and 32B... hence all our problems. Because of that, I suppose it's possible your boot screen could show 32B instead.

It is the white myTouch and it does not have a headphone jack; this is pre Fender/LE/1.2.

I went for it anyway and installed RA-sapphire-v1.6.2 and Cyanogen's latest ROM. All is good; or seems to be...after installof everything less market apps, I had 292MBs available.

Only issue with the latest is ROM, is that I am missing trackball LED notifications - which was available in the last T-Mobile 1.6 release and configurable via setting->Sound and Display (it is no longer there)...so off to research that...

Thanks,

If I were on the ball, I would have asked you to capture the "About Phone" screen so we would know more about it. But I'm glad you were able to install the normal CM build.

...I am missing trackball LED notifications - which was available in the last T-Mobile 1.6 release and configurable via setting->Sound and Display (it is no longer there)...

Hmm, I don't recall ever having that to begin with. I'll have to check my stock phone, because I don't have it in gsxR (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665601) either.

[hedcayce]

Don't mean to sidetrack the thread, but I've got the opposite situation. I've got a 32A that's only got 192MB. Is it possible something got screwed up software wise from the guy I got it from or did I just get a lemon?

Download the app Rom Manager from the market, it's free and all you have to do is press two buttons to flash it or clockword recovery.

Hi, I have a Rogers Magic, old radio, AmonRA Saphhire recovery 1.6.2H, and just went to CM 5.0.7 with Bcrook's port.

Anybody having trouble with Nandroid after the update? Mine keeps quitting part way through. I finally got it to "finish", or appear to be finish after I wiped the dalvik cache and fixed uid mismatches, but it made a nandroid backup that was equal in size to the empty space on my SD card. Basically it made a 2.7GB backup that filled the card. I imagine it didn't actually finish the backup, but had an internal error and just kept writing to the card till it was full.

I also had a lot of problems flashing the black bar updated from Cloverdale. Kept giving errors until I cleared the dalvik and fixed uid mismatches. Then it flashed and it works now.

Everything in CM5.0.7 works perfect. Just odd that it would affect recovery somehow?

[zeedok]

Sorry if this issue has already been addressed in the thread (it's getting pretty long!!).

I'm trying to flash the Amon recovery image on my way to my first Cyanogen ROM install.

I am using a Vodafone HTC Magic (32B, Australian version, Firmware 1.6, Build number DRC92).

I have tried using the fastboot method, both on Ubuntu 10.04 and Win XP, and running "adb devices" on both OS's lists my device serial number.

Unfortunately, when I boot into fastboot (back + power), I get to the fastboot menu (ie with fastboot USB in red). While connected via USB I run:

zeedok@zeedok-laptop:~$ fastboot boot /home/zeedok/Desktop/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img

at the command line (Ubuntu) and nothing happens. I have pressed the back button and held the back button (as well as pressing everything else, rebooting the phone, rebooting the computer and everything else I can think of) and the phone stays on the fastboot menu and the terminal keeps:

<waiting for device>

Am I missing something? What can I do to get progressing? I'm keen to get a Cyanogen ROM (as safely as possible) running.

Thanks for any advice.

EDIT -- Might have been a rookie mistake, but running the fastboot command with the full path and sudo fixed everything up.

[pintspin]

dear experts.

can any one tell me why i cannot run bart through recovery every time i try to run bart or nandroid , it says , run bart / nadroid via adb.... confused........!! plz help me out.......1 \

and how i can run the bart through adb.....every time i try to do this it says bart.sh not found......!!

[ch4dr0x]

Ran into a little bit of an issue and hope someone can lend a hand. I tried everything listed on the first page to get this to install and nothing would work. Finally I went into the phone and booted up the terminal app and tried to go that route. It appeared to start to work but all of a sudden I got Not Enough Memory errors. I can now no longer boot into recovery. Any ideas how I can get recovery back on? I tried going the fastboot route, I been out of the rooting game for awhile but I was sure I had used the engineering SPL before. Apparently not because it keeps telling me: "error: cannot load 'recovery.img'

I'm also using 5.0.7-test2 if that makes a difference at all. I tried the first method listed on the first page but I didn't see a "data" section on my SDcard so I created one. Don't believe that did anything for me.

EDIT: Some how, some way, I finally got the recovery installed. phew, got worried I had become too rusty for a second.

Hello I am new to this site and I have mod version openEclair-v1.3 on my rogers magic, but the text dictionary doesn't work, and neither does the camera or video features, I am really new at installing so if you could give me instructions that would help, I really like how mine looks and how quick it is I just want something that is for the everyday user and fast amd reliable, I appreciate the help

[Gazorninplat]

By the way, for those using 1.6.2H recovery with CM5.0.7, nandroid+ext backup works perfectly if you created the 'sd' folder under system. It restores fine as well. I just tested it by wiping and going to a mytouch slide ROM and then restoring back to CM5.

I must have done something wrong. This was my first time so forgive me for being a noob. I installed this rom and now my mytouch is stuck on the green boot screen. Did I screw it up for good or can I go back to the 1.6 I had before? If it's not bricked I think I'm to freaked out to try to push on. So is there any way to restore it to official 1.6? Thanks for all your help in advance.

im i think i messed up i cant boot into recovery now.... is there a way i can. i think my issue has to do with apps2sd because i was using it fine until i installed rom manger and it wanted me to flash there recovery image. i did but i wasnt able to reboot into recovery so i used rom manger to return to my former recovery which is 1.6.2 and i still cant reboot into recovery :confused:.... i tryed flashing it using termal emulator and i get an error message (out of memory or something of the sort) :confused:

i know my phone isnt bricked because i can boot the phone to cyanogenmod 5.0.7-test2.. just not recovery :(

put the recovery.img in the tools section of your sdk folder, boot your phone into fastboot mode and type in these commands in a commands prompt with your phone plugged into the usb port.
cd\
cd\AndroidSdk\tools

Please read the first post again...
1. This recovery is NOT yet fully compatible with the new apps2sd method! (as implemented in CM5.0.7)
2. Provide the recovery log if you want to be helped.

[dasunsrule32]

not using apps2sd, but got it to work

It works fine on w/o backing up ext because it is not looking for the ext partition. Since the ext mount point has changed from /system/sd -> /sd-ext/ and you have the patience, you can do a one-time edit of /etc/fstab and have it point to the new mountpoint, create the mount point -- /sd-ext, do a mount -a and then edit the nandroid-backup.sh script to look there for the ext partition. It works, just remember, you will have to do this everytime, for a restore/backup each time you reboot.

EDIT: I have found an easier way to back up the ext partition. Boot into the recovery console and then do the following:

mount /system && mkdir -p /system/sd

This will work after every reboot. So until a newer version of the amon_ra recovery rom is released, this will work. :-p

K.

You are using the wrong recovery. With the new radio 6.35... and SPL 1.76.2007, you need the hero recovery or Cursor modded recovery. See the first post!

[jasnmb]

Fixed it, just changed the name to JUST recovery.img :D

i just got the same errors trying to flash via terminal on my phone. I tried renaming it to recovery.img, but am still getting the error. here's what I typed and the errors I got:


$su
# mount -a
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext failed: No such file or directory
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
mtd: read error at 0x00000000 (Out of memory)
mtd: read error at 0x00020000 (Out of memory)


and those out of memory errors repeated several times.

any suggestions on how to get it working in terminal?

before I tried the terminal method, I tried just putting the recovery.img in /data and rebooting, but that didn't work either.

I'm currently on Cyanogen's recovery and on his v5.0.7-Test3 ROM. the file i downloaded was sapphire-RA-v1.6.2G.img for my original mt3g.

I also just tried using flashrec and typed in /sdcard/recovery.img and pressed the "flash custom recovery image" button, but got a "Flash FAILED" message.

[jasnmb]

now I just tried downloading ROM Manager and tried to flash the ClockworkMod Recovery, but I even got an error message there. So my phone is having trouble flashing any recovery.

what should I do to fix this, wipe?

EDIT: okay ROM manager was able to install the RA recovery...rebooting now. seems to be stuck at the mt3g logo now. hopefully it's just taking a long time to boot.

[jasnmb]

finally got it to flash via terminal. all i did was leave out the "mount -a" command.

$su
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img

[Amon_RA]

Change-log :

v1.7.0

- Fixed some minor bugs
- Recovery and scripts use /sd-ext instead of /system/sd as mountpoint to support the new apps2sd method (implemented mostly by Chris Soyars)
- Added an option to backup/restore Google proprietary Android system files (backuptool.sh written by Cyanogen)
- Removed "move apps2sd"-option as it's not needed anymore with the new apps2sd method
- Updated BART to v1.3.1 (updated by Dumfuq to support /sd-ext)
- Added a wipe cache only option
- Nandroid now backups/restores /cache again by default
- Dalvik-cache wipes /cache/dalvik-cache now
- Removed SDCARD: prefix in output when chosing zip to flash
- Added Cyan version (There's no difference with the normal version, only the wallpaper and textcolor changed)

unfortunately i tried to flash the cya recovery for G branded phones via terminal first, so i got a bricked recovery right now.

i tried to flash it via fastboot later but now i encounter some problem where i get a message that only tells me "error loading....." same problem with adb and i even tried to get back to 1.6.2 but didnt help.

to sum it up, terminal, fastboot, adb doesnt work and unless i figure out how to get any recovery back on, easy reboot doesnt work either.

any ideas?

I just want to make sure I use the right recovery for my phone. After hours of reading I believe I need to use one of these two:


Recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img

Recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img

Also just want to make sure I do things in the right order. I am going from mytouch 1.2 stock to CM 5.0.7 t5:

1. Root phone using goldcard method
2. Recovery 1.6.2G or 1.7.0G
3. Nandroid backup
4. flash 5.0.7 t5 rom

Is this right?

[Neejay]

Side note, New RA 1.7.0 dosnt like nandroid backups made with older versions
Can you copy all of the older backups to the new location? Or does it not read them at all?

[juanjillo]

Hello.

Thanks for the job. Is awesome.

I only get this error when try to flash
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

Anybody can help me?, please

Which method did you use to flash?
Is your phone already rooted?

[BurnOmatic]

ive tried to flash this new recovery and when i try it says its out of memory ? anyone know whats going on ? , i was able to recover the old blue bear one after this , becuase it wouldnt go back to recovery after attempting this.

[juanjillo]

Which method did you use to flash?
Is your phone already rooted?

I think yes, i usually used the 1.5.2g version.

I trying using ./fastboot flash recevery recovery.img

and get the error.

[BurnOmatic]

never mind i figured it out thankx :)

[Amon_RA]

removed the via a simple reboot method, it's not implemented anymore in CM roms.
removed the use of "su".
removed "mount -a" where it's not needed.
added a warning for users trying to use the terminal app in CM5.0.7 (will remove it as soon as it's fixed in CM5.0.x).

[dasunsrule32]

never mind i figured it out thankx :)

What was the solution?

n/m, I forgot to adb remount.

:confused:
I did it via terminal yesterday...and it worked...what could be this memory issues? Like people described so far? Unable to flash? or something else?

Thanks.

[fakecaker]

Hi,
i have a 32b magic, wich is google branded.
i thought i should flash the G version (like i did before i sent it for repair), but when i did, it wouldn't start up (teh recovery)

later i decided to flash the H version. in some way: It worked
The recovery screen now sais: Build : RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H !!!

What's going on ? :P

[BurnOmatic]

What was the solution?

n/m, I forgot to adb remount.



i did this ,

su
flash_image recovery.img

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G-cyan.img
reboot recovery

That should then reboot into the new recovery, done.

[BrandoHD]

Flashed using the fastboot method, using the cyan version, working and looking good........

One thing though, i just made a nandroid backup and for some reason its reporting the date as 18th May, when in fact its the 17th May for me, i'm from trinidad and my time zone is GMT -4:00

[skater4690]

well i have cm 5.0.7 test 5 and flashed via terminal and everything worked well i guess im lucky

My nandroids always show the incorrect time as well. (Not date...) However, I usually rename mine just to keep them better organized. ;)

WTF? I did install using this method w/out problem.

[Amon_RA]

WTF? I did install using this method w/out problem.

Really?

I didn't see anything in init.rc anymore that would trigger flash_image recovery.

[rgawenda]

Really?

I didn't see anything in init.rc anymore that would trigger flash_image recovery.

You made me think about this twice today... just checked my history:
443 adb push Downloads/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G-cyan.img /data/recovery.img

Maybe I did it manually after that from the terminal. Sorry if I made any confusion to any non-experienced users here :(

Removing that check/process from init.rc sounds a good idea, after all.

hi i have a uk vodafone htc magic (32b)
i used fastboot to boot into custom recovery mode which work fine
creating a backup was fine
when i try and flash a rom from sd card it says its flashed sucessfully

anyone have any idea what thats all about ?



this is after going from the last recovery to the RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G

[20_Eyes]

I've tried every way to install this. I even used Droid Explorer to push it. It says it is flashed, I then choose "reboot to recovery" but I get hung up at the green mytouch screen. I am assuming it is the "out of memory" hang up with cyogen5.0.7t5 (which i am running). Not having recovery scares me. I cant flash the older version or anything. I feel like a noob. Help?

i had the same thing happen to me so i went into fast boot by pressing the back button and the on off button, "arrow and off, you will be greeted by a white screen i then clicked on something in there, but i fogot, after i rebooted the phone i let it go to the green screen and then it booted fine, but it still had no recovery flashed, so i made sure i had the recovery file in the sdcard and renamed it to cy and used the following to flash the recovery via adb



-Put the 'recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img' on the root of your sd card
-reboot your phone and go into terminal and type the following:

su
flash_image cy.img

flash_image recovery /sdcard/cy.img

reboot recovery

That should then reboot into the new recovery, done.

[20_Eyes]

cool. trying it now.
still "mtd: read error at xxxxxxxxxxxx (out of memory)" and so forth. Bummer.

Do NOT flash the recovery using a terminal application in CM, use fastboot to flash, see first post.

[xaueious]

If we have no fastboot access (such is the case with some rooting processes), sometimes we need to use flash_image to flash the recovery.

Any idea why this is happening so frequently on 1.7? Because I want to know if we should stick to using an older version during the rooting process and then opt for an upgrade when we turn our SPL into engineering SPLs.

The out of memory issues are not related to the recovery but to a problem with the flash_image binary vs kernel on some roms... This is out of my control.

[panda1986]

Hi,

I have a problem with phone. After doing Wipe battery stats my battery life cut to half, one day, sometimes not whole day. Is this some procedure when you do this option? I do it with half battery before ROM installation. Dont even know what this do to bat. Pls explain me how to use this and tell me is this possible (to cut battery)? :)

This is not only my problem I read about it on forum but no one give any answer. Its hero v1.5.2 recovery and phone is Magic 32A.

Thanks

Ages ago I flashed the .o004 spl so i could download an ota 1.6 update. More recently i flashed the new radio as you can see. So how come my SPL is now the .0006??????
Can i flash a recovery with this SPL???
How did i end up with this version???

How come you can't flash via terminal? I did it, it said the memory error, but when I booted into recovery, I had the recovery.

same behavior (no matter i do a "fastboot boot <some_image>" or a "fastboor flash recovery <some_image>" + reboot

[Dad E]

Hey guys...

I've been rooted and playing with my phone for a while but never in fastboot. So today I decided to update Amon's recovery to 1.7 and saw that I needed to do it via fastboot vs terminal. I did the research and and I thought everything went smooth but when I try to boot into recovery, my phone sticks at the green MyTouch screen. I can get back into FASTBOOT and the phone works fine but how can I get a recovery image back?

Thanks for your help!

Update: I've tried to reflash and flash CM 1.4 and still nothing.

You need to install a new one recovery (ex Clockwork), or install the Amon-RA via fastboot.

[DiogoLamego]

with clockwork do the same :(

and the fastboot don´t work :(

i have a big problem :(

[jokeyrhyme]

Yeah, I'm at a loss too. I tried to flash Clockwork from ROM Manager while running CyanogenMod 5.0.7-t7. This was before I realised there was a bug preventing the correct operation of flash_image.

Now I have no working recovery, and fastboot continuously fails with the "signature verify fail" message (despite the files having correct MD5sums). I have a factory-default engineering SPL and I'm definitely not getting the error I would expect if my SPL prevented recovery flashing.

This is now a chicken-and-egg problem too. I will need to upgrade CyanogenMod (or downgrade) to a version where flash_image works. And I cannot install a new recovery in order to flash a new CyanogenMod.

What exactly does "signature verify fail" mean and how to I work around it?

[antoniouslj]

okay... trying to root and setup my wifes mt3g with cm 5.0.7 (or another, more stable rom). she has a stock 32a, google branded. i have a rooted nexus with 2.2 right now... but there are some things that are unique to the g1/mt3g device family...

the one part i'm confused is where to flash the engineering spl, i have to flash amon's recovery. but to flash amon's recovery, i need to already have the engineering spl.

umm... can someone please clarify this for me?

[knny1491]

Use rom mager to flash cyan4 then flash your recovery then reflash t7with clockwork do the same :(

ROM Manager will not flash system ROMs until Clockwork recovery is flashed. My current system ROM is CyanogenMod 5.0.7-t7 which is incapable of correctly flashing ROMs, so Clockwork recovery cannot be installed. Hence "chicken-and-egg". :S

Just boot into recovery instead of flashing it, and flash from withing recovery.
That way you'll not have any flash_image issues with 5.0.7..


Make sure you've installed the latest sdk (and that you've compiled fastboot if you are using linux).
Copy recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img to the root of your sdcard.
Make sure that recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img is also available on your pc and that fastboot can find it (set your PATH correctly, or put the img in the same directory as fastboot, adb)
Boot into v1.7.0 recovery, this will not flash the recovery, just boot it (you don't need a special SPL for this) :
fastboot boot recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img

Adb shell into the booted recovery :
adb shell
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img


If you don't have any pc around you can try to use bash as shell.
Start the terminal app on CM 5.0.7
#bash
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img

[jokeyrhyme]

fastboot boot recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img

This was the silver bullet I needed. :D The help text from fastboot doesn't really make it obvious that you supply an image to the boot command. I'm all flashed up now. /yay!

[smapdi]

So I am in the same boat as the others that didn't see the warning about Cyanogenmod 5.0.7-test7 and flashed within the OS.

I tried everything that I could find to recover my recovery partition but nothing seems to work. I can't do anything in fastboot because apparently I have a perfect SPL (I had rooted my MyTouch3G back in the one-click root exploit days).

If anyone can help I would be eternally grateful.

I doubt you have a perfected SPL - just go get an Engineering SPL then fastboot it. If you do have a perfected SPL, fix it. It works betting in the long run.

Edit: You might also want to try the H version if currently using the G version or vice versa. There's a very small chance you'll actually brick from this - my worse case is being unable to boot into recovery until I flashed the correct version. (Mine's the H.)

Hi r3s-rt,

I tried going between the H and G versions with the same result :(

My SPL is HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP30000) which I was told on the cyanogenmod forums is a perfect SPL. If I wanted to go the engineering SPL route, how would I flash without recovery? Also, which SPL in particular would work on my original MyTouch3G (I get very confused when people start refering to 32A, 32B)

[daveerickson]

I am in the same boat. I am stuck out of recovery. Is there any other option besides using a goldcard to put an engineering spl on and flashing from there?

[photolarry]

I tried this with 5.0.7 newer stable but still got memory faults. I do not have ADB installed. How do I do this manually?

[sleepwalkers]

For anyone having problems after attempting to flash a recovery in CM 5.0.7 and also have a Perfect SPL:

I initially rooted by following the Cyanogenmod Wiki instructions for my MT3G (32B) in which you format an SD card, downgrade with the linked sapphimg.nbh then flash CM1.4 Recovery.
Click here for CyanogenMod instructions (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Main_Page#Installing)

I repeated this process that would:
- Load the original recovery (included in the sapphimg.nbh)
- Managed to load the CM1.4 Recovery on there
- Grabbed an engineering SPL for my Magic/MT3G (Click here for MAGIC SPLs ONLY (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019)!)
- Flashed that using CM1.4
- Booted into Fastboot, and used that to flash RA-sapphire-v1.7.0 (instructions provided in the OP).

That worked perfectly without having to create a Goldcard. Arguably more complicated, but as it was all steps I had done before, pretty painless.

If you're stuck and really want to get a working recovery, follow those instructions. Heck, I'd follow those first just so I know I won't waste my time with solutions that potentially won't work.

[bkrill]

I do not have ADB shell installed.
My SPL is : 1.33.2005

I tried fastboot but i don't know where i'm suppose to put the recovery image. I put it on the root and my fast boot can't find it. When it says to connect to pc via USB do i just plug it into my PC?

[passingnever]

How about the V1.7.0 recovery for 32A NR?

[cevy]

Anyone knows if the terminal recovery flash method is fixed in the latest CM 5.0.7 ?

Thank you

[arthofer]

So...got a little problem, because flashing my recovery works somehow diffrent...

the way via adb in recovery yields:

mtd: erase failure at 0x0028000 (I/O Error)
mtd: erase failure at 0x0028000 (I/O Error)
mtd: skipping write block at 0x00280000
/


Fastboot gives me a "remote: signature verify fail" since i got no ENG SPL

Device:
32A SHIP S-ON H
1.33.0009 (SAPH10000)
3.22.20.17 Radio
Amon_RA 1.6.2 Recovery
Cyanogenmod 5.0.7

BUT - if i do the following:

fastboot erase recovery
fastboot boot recovery-ra-sapphire-v1.6.2H.img
adb shell
mount -a
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-ra-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img
> erase failure 0x00280000
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-ra-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img
> here it says nothing
reboot recovery

now i get a new flashed recovery...the other ways posted by amon_ra won't work...

why fastboot won't work is simple, i got no ENG SPL
but it should work in recovery...but it doesn't

[UberMario]

I do not have ADB shell installed.
My SPL is : 1.33.2005

I tried fastboot but i don't know where i'm suppose to put the recovery image. I put it on the root and my fast boot can't find it. When it says to connect to pc via USB do i just plug it into my PC?

In the tools folder in the SDK folder. I renamed my AndroidSDK folder to Android
Then follow these codes in command prompt (I used Windows to fastboot). I renamed the long name for the cyan recovery image to just cyan.

cp C:\Android\tools
fastboot flash recovery cyan.img

[_ice_]

If you don't have any pc around you can try to use bash as shell.
Start the terminal app on CM 5.0.7
#bash
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img

bash 4.1$ flash_image recovery /sdcard/rec.img
error writing recovery: Permission denied

any help? I am on cm 5.0.7
btw I renamed the flash recovery image, it was originaly (recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.0.7G-cyan.img)
I have a mt3g 32 b version is it because I used the G recovery instead of H?

and I tried flashing amon_ra's from clockwork using rom manager and now it screwed up. I tried flashing back to clockwork using rom manager its screwed up also... <.< and I have no knowledge on fastboot or adb. so I tried the terminal emulator method and its giving me errors :(

Then Setting up your T-Mobile mytouch 3g and login to a google account. When I tried to login it will not login.

How the h3ll should I know that when resetting it will go back to this, I just had my phone unlock today so I can use another provider and it was working fine, until this stupid factory reset thing.

I'm guessing you do not have root yet? Is your SIM card data accessible?

Am I safe to assume that I will be able to flash the newest recovery image on donut ROMs via terminal then go back to CM 5.0.7 and have no problems?

I really do not know if this phone is rooted or not, since I only got it yesterday and have it unlock so I can use another provider. BTW I have no backup nothing.... I am tired and sleepy all because of this stupid phone.

Can your SIM card use data though? If it can't, no point trying to sign into a google account.

When I try to format my sd card I can't setup the size of the swap partition. At the question are you sure you want to format your sd card press 'HOME' it passes directly to the point of adjusting the size of the ext partition. The rest works fine I just upgraded to 1.7.0G. I have a Vodafone Magic 32B

It worked great for me.

Using Nand backup I created a new backup of the 5.0.7 that I was using. I then flashed a 1.6 ROM. I skipped registration and went straight to the terminal emulator to flash the new recovery image. (I had to rename the file recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G-cyan.img to not include numbers i.e. recover-cyan.img so i could use the basic emulator that doesn't allow number input with mytouch) Once that was complete i rebooted into recovery and verified that RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G was there. I then immediately used Nand Restore to go back to my 5.0.7 ROM and all is good. I hope this helps.

Please post in the correct thread/forum! Your issue isn't related to this recovery at all.

I think that you can't log in because your APN settings are incorrect.

Press MENU when you see the "Touch Android to begin"-screen and set the correct APN settings. You should see a 3G or a H appearing.

You pressed HOME to long, try pressing it very quick.

Yes :D , I'll soon create an update package based on skittleguy dump, with root enabled.

this let's me confused. Where "inside" is the root/non_root flag? How can a nandroid backup make a device rooted?

If that is so, what are the HW/SW similarities required between two phones if I wish to dump my backup to a non-root mobile? Same Radio/SPL?


Sorry for the mental mess xD

Hi! :-)

Out of sheer stupidity I managed to flash the recovery rom from within cyanogen mod 5.0.7, now I can't boot into it anymore. Cyanogen 5.0.7 still boots fine. fastboot doesn't work, as I have a 1.33.0007 (SAPP10000) phone.

What are my options here?

Thanks in advance!

[knny1491]
