Ok, I'll try with terminal...
What kind of files can I delete from system?...and how? I checked the system folder with ASTO file manager, but didn't see any "useless" files to delete..

Maybe it's better to start a thread in the General section... your question isn't related to this recovery nor to development.

I don't think I'll implement it.



Could you please tell me which steps you took?
Did you choose "Apply sdcard:update.zip" or did you choose "Apply sdcard:choose zip" ?



Boot into recovery, wait a minute or 2 so your SDcard can mount and choose update package.

for both is the same error
eng spl 2004


my update script
........................
format SYSTEM:
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
........................................



thanks

I can't reproduce this error, I tried all kinds of roms and it works fine for me... :confused:

- What kind of Magic do you have? 32A or 32B?
- Which recovery are you using? The G or H version?
- Do you have this problem for all update packages or just this one?
- Could you give me a link to the update you are having this issue with?
- Did you flash the recovery or are you running it via fastboot?
- Are you using apps2sd?
- Did you partition your sd?

Ok, I now I see, that after wait 2 minutes all ok,
but early I can do this just after boot to recovery! (Step: "Apply sdcard:update.zip" on an empty (except this file sdcard))

And even after I wait 2 minutes I must press buttons several times

:) Ok, if I can't fix it soon I'll start another thread, but the problem started when I tried flashing this Recovery..

Anyway, here's what the adb shell tells me.

If someone can tell me how to free up space and what do delete in this System folder I'm done.. :)

The new recovery is about 1.2Mb bigger in size compared to the previous one... explains why it was working previously. You don't have enough space left.

Which ROM are you now using? Try to delete /system/recovery.img to free up some space.

assuming we do have a ext2 partition and a rom that supports apps2sd, will running the command in your recovery automatically move future app downloads to the sd? meaning is this a one time script that will work from now on? or must we always run it for every app we download to move it over.

thru fastboot you can- easy way to do it is to keep all nandroids you want on your pc and a most recent one on your sd. When you want to restore a certain nandroid that isnt the most recent stick that one on the sd card instead of the most recent and then do a "most recent nandroid restore" and it will restore that one, as it is the most recent one on the card.....

Amon_RA, first of all many thanks and compliments for the great recovery
I would like to know if there any plan to implement the option to choose which nandroid backup we can restore, instead of having the chance to apply only the last one

    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):
      • Reboot system now :: reboot your phone
      • USB-MS Toggle :: enable/disable USB mass storage (use when the phone is connected to your PC)

    • 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.
