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.

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

This thread says 1.76.xxx, but is this realiable for the 1.76.0009 ? Everyone says that there is nothing yet for my SPL, but those big fat red leters can lead to a mistake.

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:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIPS-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
May 8 2009,21:02:32

Can't figure out the problem...
Thanks in advance! ;)


Found the recovery.log. After retriving the log the recovery freezed once again.

Can someone point me me in the right direction? :confused:

Amon_RA? Anyone?

Thanks!

Here is the recovery log:

hi,

when i tried to run bart backup i got following message

"error : run "bart" viaa adb"

does any one know why i am getting this?

I get that with bart and nandroid.

All I do is flash any rom (doesn't matter the size or type) then bart/nandroid works correctly.

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.

I don't know what happened, but I tried putting on 1.6.2 (from 1.5.2) & it didn't work, and now I can't get into recovery. I hold end & home, but it just doesn't load up.

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

    All source code is available at github.

    This recovery if for the HTC Magic/MT3G only, if you have an :
    - HTC Dream/G1 you should go here.
    - HTC Hero you should go here.
    - HTC Sprint Hero you should go here.
    - HTC Eris you should go here.
    - HTC Tattoo you should go here.
    - HTC Nexus One you should go here.

    Important notes
    • 32A users with SPL 1.76.x should flash the Hero version! (Will be updated to v1.7.0 soon!!)
    • Always check recovery.log before posting your issues!
      You can do this by doing :
      • "cat /tmp/recovery.log" OR "cat /cache/recovery/log" right after you had the issue.
      • Use the "move log to sd" option in the "others" menu right after you had the issue. This will move the log to /sdcard/recovery.log so you can easily open it with a text editor.

    Features

    Use the trackball (up+down) to navigate through the menu, press the trackball to select items.
    You can also use the volume keys (vol-up + vol-down) to navigate, and the CALL-ANSWER key to select items (in case your trackball is broken).

    • full ADB access in recovery mode
    • Busybox v1.15.3
    • HW-Key navigation (volume keys + CALL-ANSWER) option
    • Extended menu (with keyboard-shortcuts):

    • Scripts available via adb :

    Install

    • There are several ways to install a custom recovery, choose the one that suits you most (I probably forgot a few).
    • You don't need to enter "mount -a" if your partitions are already mounted.
    • Use the H/G version if your Magic is HTC branded (PVT 32A board)/Google branded (PVT 32B board).

    via fastboot :
    • Requires engineerings SPL!
    Code:
    Copy recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img to a location where fastboot can find it.
    Boot your G1 into fastboot mode (boot while holding BACK)
    Connect your G1 via usb to your pc/mac/...
    fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your device)
    fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img

    via adb :
    • Requires a custom recovery (with test-keys) like Cyanogen's v1.4 or my previous recovery
    • Do NOT follow these steps from a terminal application on the phone, make sure that you've booted into a custom recovery first!!!
    Code:
    Copy recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img to the root of your sdcard
    Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
    Connect your G1 via usb to your pc/mac/...
    adb shell
    #mount -a (this can give back an error if you don't have an ext partition, don't worry about it and just proceed)
    #flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img

    via terminal application installed on the phone :
    • Requires root
      [*]DO NOT use this method with CM5.0.7, there are currently some memory issues while flashing, use the above methods (preferably the fastboot method) instead until the issue is fixed in CM5.0.7!
    Code:
    Copy recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img to the root of your sdcard
    start the terminal app
    #flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img



    Download

    • ALWAYS check the md5sum to make sure the zip isn't corrupted.
    • Click on the Mirror-link if you don't like rapidshare
    • Use the H/G version if your Magic is HTC branded (PVT 32A board)/Google branded (PVT 32B board).


    Change-log :

    v1.7.0
    Code:
    - 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)

    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.
    [COLOR="Red"][B](This will not fix old corrupted Nandroid backups! Please make new backups!!)[/B][/COLOR]
    - 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!)

    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."
    Thanks.
