EDIT from my post above. So the before i just did fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.0H.img and it booted to the recovery. thats fine.

then i tried to flash it using adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RAv1.0H.img (after pusing the recovery image to my sd card)
but i get Permission denied.

^ is it because we dont have root?

I think its because the stock spl has signiture checking on. Change the spl though and...

possibly. I'm no expert but what i can say is my rogers magic is different from my friends. I have S-OFF (signature off? maybe) while he has S-ON. I have CPLD-11 while he has CPLD-12.

I am afraid to flash my SPL to 2005 though.

Odd...I had no problem flashing the 2005 spl...

Try this :
1. Boot the device in fastboot mode.
2. Connect the device to your machine over USB.
3. $fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.0H.img
Wait for a minute or two..
$adb shell mount -a
Ignore the failed mounts...
$adb push recovery-RAv1.0H.img /system/recovery.img
$adb push recovery-RAv1.0H.img /sd-card/recovery-RAv1.0H.img
$adb shell flash_image recovery /sd-card/recovery-RAv1.0H.img
4. Reboot

If it doesn't work you might need to flash your SPL :
- 32A board : apply this update from your sd-card after fast booting with this recovery.
- 32B board : apply this update from your sd-card after fast booting with this recovery.

thanks, so i just tried that. successful until the last one. it gives me /sbin/sh: flash_image: not found.

However I did get /sbin/sh: -c requires an argument when i did adb shell -a

I will try to flash SPL 2005 now. can i just fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.0H.img then apply update.zip from there?

For those who need root on their Rogers Magic :

I quickly enabled root and added busybox to the Rogers Magic boot image:

1. Copy this update to your SD-card.
2. Boot the device in fastboot mode.
3. Connect the device to your machine over USB.
4. $fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.0H.img
wait a few minutes and unplug your device from USB
5. Choose option "Apply sdcard:update.zip" from the menu

Enjoy

You're welcome, you can now update your signature

My Ion came with what appears to be a G1 recovery image - It was a 3d ! triangle with no menu options. I flashed it to use the Smartphone France image (same thing but with a trackball-accessible menu).

Did your Ion come with the green HTC logo and a trackball-accessible menu?
