Don't mount manually when you use the menu to wipe...
Or you use the menu to do stuff, or you do everything manually via adb, but don't mix both, this can give mount issues.

I did the following and it works just fine :

1. Unplug charger/usb cable
2. boot in recovery mode
3. select wipe, select wipe Dalvik-cache, and wait for it to finish
4. plug usb cable
5. adb shell
6. cd /data
7. ls => Notice that the whole dalvik-cache directory is erased
8. cd /cache
9. ls => Notice that the whole dalvik-cache directory is erased

Conclusion : wipe cache works fine

6. cd /data

sorry Bart, but not true.

/data is not mounted so there is nothing to see there. ofc that would show as clean.

If you mount /data and then cd to it, i'm almost sure you will see still data in /data/dalvik-cache
i'll have to reboot and test dough.

Ah crap you are right, I was testing it on my Nexus and I notice that I didn't update the wipe script in v1.7.0 for the sapphire!
I'll post an updated version soon.
Thanks for reporting!

[nomadman]

i also had the feeling this was happening. but fastboot wipe should do the trick right?

[renedlog]

There is a full functional recovery-AR-magic+-1.7.0.1

Hey i am doing theunlockr How To: Load a Custom ROM on Your HTC Magic this

there it says:

"I. Partition Your Memory Card for Apps2SD or Hero

1. Get into recovery mode by holding down Home and Power to turn on the phone (if you are not already there).

2. Click on Wipe Data. Once that is done, click on Format Fat32+Ext2+LinuxSwap and wait for it to format."

and in I can't find command "Format Fat32+Ext2+LinuxSwap" in RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img

What should I do, should I just miss this step???

[benearle]

Alright,

Black, original myTouch 3g
Official Froyo - FRG83B
Temporary root via VISIONary

I'm trying to flash this recovery manually via terminal emulator. However, every time I submit

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

I receive a message saying "Image not found"

I have made sure there are no typos in the code, and the file is definitely on the root of my SD.

I have also tried flashing this recovery via ROM Manager and have even tried flashing the Clockwork Recovery but I have a feeling it is unsuccessful due to the temporary root.

1.) Is this even possible with temporary root?
2.) Does anyone know how to perma-root via VISIONary or any other root app designed for rooting Android version 2.2.1

p.s. I apologize if this information is already somewhere in the 100+ pages of this thread.

Thanks,
Ben

Hi,

I have a HTC Magic 32A. I managed to get the recovery image installed (recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2).

I reboot in the recovery mode to make a nandroid backup. No problem here.

But, I rebooted and restarted my stock Rogers Android 2.1. After that, I can't boot in the recovery mode anymore! It seems that it lost the recovery image.

Is that normal ?

Thanks.

[cincog]

*fixed by using the adb method*

Thanks

Hi

currently I have a real Problem. I tried to update my Amon RA recovery with the most recent one from this post first page with the fastboot method.
All worked fine, rebooted. Now, if I try to boot to the recovery mode, phone hangs on startup screen, never comes to the recovery.
If I start the phone normal, cyanogenmod 6.1 starts fine.

Any Idea, how I could solve this Issue? I am on a 32b Magic.

Thanks in Advance

Did you flash the correct version? You should be using 1.7.0G. Also check the MD5 sum to be sure of good download. If all else fails just try reflashing via fastboot.

[ehb224]

Wondering the same myself.

[FHL09]

Amon_RA

I still find your recovery to be the easiest to use & with its themes (HTC/Cyan) I love it more, its like a mix & match, maybe you should do one with the AbsolutelyAndroid theme, just a idea.

Thanks for the great recovery, happy to be supporting you for this long!

Hi,

I've just upgraded to Amon_Ra recovery 1.7.0 and when I go to recovery screen the phone simply reboots to its normal state or freezes (less frequent), which is strange. So I can't do anything such as loading a new ROM.

Has this happened to any of you?

My specs are:

EDIT:

Fixed. I didn't read the instructions as well I should. In this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4029315&postcount=1)thread is says 32A users with SPL 1.76.x should flash the Hero version! (Will be updated to v1.7.0 soon!!)
Flashed with the last version recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img (recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img doesn't work on magic, as author says) and everything looks fine now.


EDIT 2:
However, when flashing the cayogen I'm getting an error (Status 7) :( already reported here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9234854&postcount=4663). Any help would be appreciated.

[Frankle-master]

Excellent, feel free to post your nandroid dumps so we can enable root on it :) !
How is that possible? I use the same device and all the recovery images I used crashed after few seconds. Does anybody have the same issue? I'd like to install a custom ROM on my Magic!

Thanks

EDIT:

Damn thing, sorry for the post... I read the one above and finally found the solution. After hours of try, it WORKED!! Thank you XDA! Should post a link on The Unlockr.

Hi all!
need your help on restoring my Rogers HTC Magic. So I rooted the phone before and flashed it using HERO ROM. Then my gf accidentally did a factory reset on the phone and it completely wiped the phone. Everytime trying to boot the phone, it got stuck on the HERO screen loop. She tried restoring it by doing this:

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase system

fastboot boot recovery.img

This restored the phone back to the original Rogers ROM but only lasted a couple days. Then this crashed and stuck on the ROGERS screen loop.

Now, I am trying to restore this. When I go to the fastboot mode this is what i see:

I tried recovery mode via fastboot using recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img and i get this message:

it can not find rec.img , make sure rec.img is at the same location on your pc as where you are invoking the fastboot command.

[nirianto]

Amon_RA, Yes i put the image file inside the AndroidSDK/tools folder.

[Hosern1]

hey need some help
I have no recovery at the moment, as I was using rom manager to install clockworkmod recovery but it seems that it did not install it properly as it was just stuck at splash screen when i went into recovery for a very long time, then i tried to install Amon_ra using rom manager and the same thing happened.
Then went into terminal to install i got out of memory errors.

I cant use any of the usb ways of flashing this as my usb doesn't work due to hardware problem so my only option is terminal.

how can i install the recovery. thank you

rom cm6 rc1

EDIT: nvm killing all the apps and few reboots sorted it.

Magics with SPL 1.76.x should use the Hero 1.7.1
Says so in the OP.

ferrari_news, you should probably try that.
mash_ns, check your SPL version?

[ferrarinews]

But there says "Only flash recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img if you have a 32A Sapphire with 6.35.x.x radio and 1.76.x SPL, recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img will NOT boot! I'll create a new Sapphire version soon."

Shall we use the install method for the Hero or shall we only download the Hero img and use the Magic 32A install. I am asking this because the install/flashing methods are different.

I would imagine you'd use the method for the magic. The worst that happens is that you use the other method.

You could also probably do it with Droid Explorer. Which would save the hassle of any typos. I just used it last night to flash a new recovery on my wifes cliq. (Sorry, I'm at work and don't have the link in front of me. It's here on XDA tho.)

[wjsturgis3]

No, it's a modified version for the 31A and the "new" 6.36..." radio

[onimorza]

No, it's a modified version for the 31A and the "new" 6.36..." radio

[wjsturgis3]

Yes, but notice that the 6.35 radio in used/supported in that thread. Support of that radio is the reason for these recoveries.

[Dragonited]

OK I'm a little confused on the instructions here. I accessed the revision information screen and it said:
Sapphire PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76-0009 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.08.29

In the beginning it said if I had 1.76 SPL I should use the Hero one. Does that mean I should use the SPL and OS for the Hero version? Sorry for maybe asking a stupid question but I want to be sure since I don't want to brick it since I'm cracking it for a friend.

EDIT: Saw TheJeeks question now and reply. Though I don't rely want to install it just unlock it so you can use a sim card from another provider.

[AnothrNmbr]

I finally upgraded my google ion to cm6 (from stock doughnut 1.6) via amon ra 1.7.0. Thanks to everyone for all this excellent stuff. The problem I have is that the home key seems to be sticking (probably due to being dropped in the toilet) and so I am always forced to be booted into the boot loader. I'm only able to boot into normal cm6 if i connect with usb use 'adb shell reboot system'. My question is, is there any way I can hack the existing 1.7.0 img to add a menu option for 'reboot system' to force my phone to ignore/bypass the home key press its receiving at reboot time (and just boot into the phone normally)? Alternatively, how would I go about adding an option to the power/end key long press dialog that would 'reboot system' instead of a normal reboot. Any links or help you all can provide is greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Thanks but is only for 32a, I have 32b!

[MrRevhead]

Hello everyone! :)

I have a HTC Magic 32b with original Froyo 2.2.1, rooted (with SuperOneClick) and BusyBox 1.18.4.

I have the ADB & Fastboot on my Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit and they found my HTC Magic (adb devices & fastboot devices)

I want to install the Recovery Mode (I think that the last is the 1.7.0G) but the guide in the first post don't work for me...

I downloaded the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img and I put the .img in the "tools" folder of ADB (for me, the folder is adb not tools).
Then I reboot the devices on fastboot mode and with a CMD i write "fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img" but this is the result:

sending 'recovery' (4520 KB)... FAILED (remote: not allow)

So I decide to try with Terminal Emulator... I put the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img into root of sdcard and this is the result:

flash_image: not found

So I try with adb shell but nothing...

At the moment I have this recovery mode, but I think is the "original" of the phone...

How I have to do to install the Recovery Mode? I need your help! Thank you very much! :confused::)

I am having this EXACT problem!

I too would also appreciate any advice/assistance.

What that means is that he included 32A specific files for 32A specific phones, but you select your own custom files and flash

I am hoping to retry flashing my phone this evening.

Hi peeps, hoping to get some help here.

I've been running COS-DS for a while & previously CM6.1.0 & CMnightlys on my 32B Magic (aka ION aka MT3G, original not 1.2/Fender) that has the .0013d SPL & .28.25 radio.

Seemingly at random my RA 1.7.0 recovery became corrupted, I'd used it earlier in the day no problems & hadn't tried to flash an alternative like Clockwork or anything else, it just spontaneously screwed up.

I boot to recovery either via shutdown --> Reboot to recovery or manually via turning off the phone & powering on holding down the home button. I get this at the bottom of the screen...

Build : RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G

But the menu that usually pops up a fraction after that never arrives.

First I tried the simple thing, installed Rom Manger from the market & flashed Clockwork, it too stops at the same point, Build : Clockwork xxxx but no menu - flashing RA1.7.0G back as the "alternative recovery" says it flashed successfully but still the same thing.

Then I manually flashed as per the first page instructions, there is no Fastboot Flash on this SPL & as I don't have a working recovery I can't do the ADB in recovery thing, so I did the terminal emulator within the OS method & get something like the following...

http://smashman.net/stuff/device.png

"mtd: read error at 0x000X0000 (Out of Memory)"

The number of read errors vary, is this the problem with flashing failing back in the CM5.0.7 days, that Gingerbread too simply runs out of memory to run it?

I've run "fastboot erase recovery" to start cleaner but it still fails to flash correctly. Any ideas how to get out of this mess?

In that is disappeared spontaneously, could there be a problem with the flash memory in the phone? How can I test it?

I'm hesitant to try unrooting with a NBH file in case the flash memory is borked & ending up with a total brick.

Suggestions?

Edit: Yes, the MD5 matches

Edit2: Brick pretty much. Unrooted & fastbooting a recovery comes up the same error as when flash_image eventually went through without errors...

"Build : RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G"

...so I think something is wrong with the nand, the OS bootloops with no ADB access & the HTC recovery is borked too. Initially used TMUS MT3G SAPPIMG with perfect SPL .0006, upgraded to a Vodafone SAPPIMG with HBoot 1.33.0009 S=ON & 3.22x radio, exact same symptoms but at least now I can fastboot boot, but it doesn't work with RA versions 1.7.0, 1.6.2 & 1.2.0 or CW2.5.0.7 (yes I'm using H recoveries now given the SAPPIMG I used, they boot to that "Build" line whereas the G one stays at Splash1, as you would expect with 3.22.x radio).

[!_Ale13star_!]

Why doesn't RA Recovery have TOGGLE SIGNATURE VERIFICATION..??I think it is very important and useful..

[Jamin13]

Will this work for porting it to the Kyocera Echo?

[reynierpm]

I have a HTC Magic 32A with radio 6.35.16.19 and SPL 1.76.2007 which IMG should I install?

[WiseJoeyD]

I have a very interesting issue


32b Sapphire
SPL 1.33.0013d
2.22.28.25
Amon Ra 1.7.0g


Been backing up and going between Roms with ease thanks to the backup/restore functions :D

Recently been going back and forth between CyanM 6.1 {307 nightly} and GingerYoshi 1.2.1

Used Superwipe v2 between restores.

Then tried to make a backup just there and.... well... lots of "........."
It just never stops :rolleyes:

Have to do a battery pull (:eek:+:mad:)

The phone works perfectly, boots perfectly fine, recovery and android. It just now has this.. incontinent Backup problem :p

The backup folder varies wildly in size. Even when a set time passes and I battery-pull

[WiseJoeyD]

Seemingly at random my RA 1.7.0 recovery became corrupted, I'd used it earlier in the day no problems ... it just spontaneously screwed up.


Well looks like mine did too for some reason. Nandroid is a no go.

Tried to reflash using every method. Geez, harder than updating the radio!

Tried the last option (flash from terminal in CM 6.1) Doh!

That needs to point out that anything from 5.0.7 upwards is impossible.

Now got no recovery... well, got a great setup of a CM6.1 rom.... guess my mod days are at an end?

[WiseJoeyD]

For science and the community! :D


For anyone with a bjorked recovery in the very precise and ridonculous way I did (with everything else still working)


Install Rom Manager from market
Download Amn Ra 1.7
Flash Clockwork Rom (any)
none of them worked, go figure anyway...
Reboot into Android
Now you can flash Alternative Recovery
It's the wrong one tho, doh! 1.7 H
Let it download and flash anyway
Take the 1.7 G from earlier, rename 1.7 H
Paste it over the 1.7 H on the sdcard in clockwork mod folder
Back in Rom Manager redo 'Flash Alternate Recovery'
Voila!
Zzzzz


:D

The nandroid backup problem from earlier is... still there! Weird no?

But hey, mostly working Recovery feels way better than none :p

[WiseJoeyD]

for future Googlians searching for similar 32b recovery problems!

Decided to give it all a go again, now that I have a 'safe' restore procedure.

Freed up as much RAM as possible

unlock launcher from memory
up VM heap to 32


Then flash, flash and flashed again. no rebooting, no leaving the application. Just kept selected "Ion/mytouch3g" and did that a bunch of times.


Power off
Fingers Crossed
Reboot to Recovery...
ClockworkMod!


Colour me surprised. Running a backup now.... and the results?

Well it hung on 'Backing up cache...'
:(

*Cleared cahce. Ran again. Successful backup.

Thanks to the verbose-ness of Clockwork mod I discovered something about cache was tripping up the backup process.

Not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth but for completeness sake...

Gonna put on AmonRa 1.7g
do nandroid - see if it's a success
:rolleyes:

update; it was.
Such a simple fix, and a convoluted journey

Moral of the story:
Clear caches people! :D

[romis138]

Terminal method (rooted on CM6): even after giving super user permissions to my terminal, I get "error writing recovery".

Within clockworkmod: I can connect to the phone, but when flashing I get "error writing recovery: No space left on device" (edit: now my recovery is broken. )

Also, I can't get "Flash alternate Recovery" to be selectable in ROM Manager, my recovery .img is in the clockworkmod folder of my sd, but it still doesn't let me flash. Currently have installed according to ROM manager, a broken CM 2.5.0.7..

Also, I have s-off but for some reason the command
fastboot flash_image recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img
returns error: cannot load "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img"

am I missing syntax for having the img in the root of the sdcard? I've tried the same command with /sd and /sdcard prefixing the file name, but it still returns that error.

halp? 32b with ESPRESSO PVT SHIP S-OFF, 7.15.35.16 radio. stuck in CM6 with a radio that doesn't work and need to get up to date.

I just updated to the 1.7.0 but my recovery kept on rebooting, can someone help me?

[Dataslycer]

I just updated to the 1.7.0 but my recovery kept on rebooting, can someone help me?
Exact same thing happened to me. It flashes normally but after about 10 seconds in the recovery menu it just boots up likenormal. help?

[romis138]

I can't get into recovery at all now. Only the S-OFF white screen boot mode, but I don't know where to put img bins on my memorycard in order to be able to flash them in that mode (all other recovery flash attempts from within currently flashed CM ROM do not work when rebooted into recovery). Am I bricked?

[GreenGuava]

Also, I can't get "Flash alternate Recovery" to be selectable in ROM Manager, my recovery .img is in the clockworkmod folder of my sd, but it still doesn't let me flash. Currently have installed according to ROM manager, a broken CM 2.5.0.7.

I'm pretty sure the Amon RA recovery .img should be in the root of your SD card, not inside any folders.

Move the .img to your SD root and see if that enables the "Flash alternate recovery" option in ROM Manager.

Hi Guys,
I just flashed my 32A with 6.35 Radio and 1.76.2007 SPL according to this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239). Now I have 32A + HBOOT 1.76.2007 + 6.35.10.18 Radio.

Supposedly I'm now able to SDflash my ROM to any rom under Amon_RA's recovery mode, but my device gets stuck everytime I try to boot into recovery mode.

According to Amon_RA, I should use "32A users with SPL 1.76.x should flash the Hero version! (Will be updated to v1.7.0 soon!!)" and I'm using recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img which I believe is correct. When I tried to flash the Sapphire recovery image with "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img", it'll show the recovery mode for 5 secs, then the device hangs.

I've repeatedly flashed the devices (i.e. radio-> hboot-> recovery->erase system->reboot), but none of the combinations seems to work now. Maybe I'm missing out some steps, hopefully someone can shed some light on me :).

[3shimi]

I solved the issue. I was able to extract the img file from the RUU and just use goldcard/hboot to flash my device. Still dont understand why it gets stuck and not able to get into recovery mode though.

cant post url now, google keywords "How To Root Your Magic/Sapphire – GoldCard Method"

Read the post carefully (on the Hero thread)

Only flash recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img if you have a 32A Sapphire with 6.35.x.x radio and 1.76.x SPL, recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img will NOT boot! I'll create a new Sapphire version soon.

cheers

Hi.
While booting into Recovery RA v2.3, I am flashing a Radio Package. The screen gets stuck for 30 minutes on 'formatting cache.' I toggled to reboot, and the Radio flashed successfully. The thing is I don't know how long to wait till I reboot, and I don't like the uncertainty, especially while flashing a Radio. This is happening whenever I flash a ROM.
I'm sure this has been covered, but there are many pages. I'm coming from CMR, so maybe I have to clear something out? Any help is appreciated.

Good idea.... I would like to go back to Cupcake and start with my Magic as well... any pointers on where to start?

Thanks in advance :)

EDIT: No worries... I found the solution on CM's wiki site (wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/TMobile_myTouch_3G:_Rooting) :)

Hi,
I am probably a giant noob, but what is "engineering SPL"?
I have a stock (rooted) PVT 32B sapphire (vodafone/google branded) but first method doesn't work. when I input "fastboot devices" something shows up (I assume it's my phone) but when I input "fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img" nothing happens.
the second I can not try as I do not have custom recovery at all.
the third method isn't working eighter. now that I figured out what the terminal application was and downloaded, granted superuser, then write "flash_image ..." it says it didn't found the img altough it is on the SD card. am I missing something?

any nooblike step-by-step solutions welcome. thanks
