unable to boot into recovery

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 :).

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.
Evo 4G running CyanogenMod 7.

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

    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)
      • Backup/Restore (recovery partition not included!)
        • Nand backup :: Make a Nand backup
        • Nand + ext backup :: Make a Nand + ext backup
        • Nand restore :: Restore a Nand backup
        • BART backup :: Make a BART backup (Nand + ext)
        • BART restore :: Restore latest BART backup
        • Bck Google files :: Makes a backup of the Google proprietary system files in /cache/google
        • Rst Google files :: Restores the Google proprietary system files from /cache/google
      • Flash zip from sdcard :: Flash a zip update file from your sdcard
      • Wipe
        • Wipe data/factory reset :: Wipe /data and /cache
        • Wipe cache :: Wipe /cache only
        • Wipe Dalvik-cache :: Wipe /cache/dalvik-cache
        • Wipe SD:ext partition : Wipe the ext partition on your sdcard

        • Wipe rotate settings : Wipe the sensor settings in /data
      • Partition sdcard
        • Partition SD :: Interactive SD partitioning
        • Repair SD:ext :: Repair the ext partition

        • Move recovery.log to SD :: Moves the recovery log file to your sdcard. (Use when you want more detailed recovery log information)
      • Power off :: Powers off your phone
    • 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!)
