Would it be possible to root it and then do a Nandroid backup and give us the data, boot, system.img

Please somebody help this person! I am so desperate to have HTC original rom.

Hello Liang.
I can tell you how to make Nandroid backup of your Magic/Sapphire. I am not sure what NBH backup means so maybe it's not what you want, but it is definitely what we want. Please could you do the Nandroid backup for us? We have a cut-down HTC Magic here in England, with no Exchange ActiveSync and we really want the full HTC Asia version of the software.
This will not modify your phone or software in any way. It will just do a one-time boot with the special nandroid recovery menu where a backup can be done. Afterwards everything is back to normal.
Here's how to do a Nandroid backup:
Firstly, download fastboot.exe, or if you are on Linux, just fastboot. You can get fastboot from HTC's website, here's the link:
http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/adp.html#s2
Save fastboot.exe in just c:\ (the root/beginning of your C: disk).
You need to make sure the USB drivers for the HTC Magic are installed on your computer.
Then you need to download this file, unzip it, and save it to your phone's sdcard:
http://www.droiddeveloper.com/hrbuilds/recovery-new.img.zip
You must unzip the file, so that you have "recovery-new.img" on the SDCard.
Then, please turn off your HTC Magic, and hold down the Back button (arrow button next to the Search button), whilst turning the phone on.
This will enter Fastboot mode, and the phone should show "SAPPHIRE xxxxx FASTBOOT USB" and some other information.
From your computer, go to a command prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd [enter]), or just Start -> cmd [enter] if on vista.
Type: cd \ (that's CD, space, backslash) then [enter]. This changes your working directory to the root of the c: drive, where we have saved fastboot.exe.
Then type "fastboot devices" and make sure that fastboot on the computer can see your phone. Hopefully it will return a model or serial number of the HTC handset.
If so, please type "fastboot boot recovery-new.img".
This will start your phone up with the modified recovery image, which has Nandroid backup built into it. You should now see the recovery screen on the phone, with some menu options, including "Nandroid Backup".
Please choose to do a Nandroid backup from the menu on the phone. This will create a folder on the phone's sd-card called Nandroid, with some other folders inside, with backups of the system.
You can then choose restart from the Recovery screen and everything will be back to normal.
Please can you do this and send us the files? From your perspective it would be better if you wiped the phone (Factory reset on the phone, Under Settings -> SD card & phone storage -> Factory data reset) before doing this because we don't want your data. Or you could just do it, zip up the files and contact me and I will take your files, restore here, wipe data, then re-zip the files, so nobody will have your information. If you are not happy with that, you could just send us all the files except data.img. I'm sure that would be OK.
I can create a private FTP server for you to upload to if you want, or you can use rapidshare or similar.
My email is : carl @ css-networks.com , or you can send me a message on this forum.

please do it

Yes please Liang - you are the last option to get the real deal

yea, would be nice to have a dump of asian magic

Liang, anything ?
you're the unique person in the world who has this opportunity.
all people's waiting for you, you will become a big star !!!
YES YOU CAN

if he doesn't do it be patient.... if possible.... it is being release in most places in a couple of weeks at worst (Australia getting it on June 15- we are getting HTC version thru 3 and Voda version thru voda...).....I will have a crack at it as soon as i have it- i want it rooted straight away but would prefer to still have aussie/Asian version....

Any news Liang

once its backed up can you extract the exchange and document reader apps from it to load onto the Voda ROM?

Try the Rogers from this forum. Exchange ActiveSync works extremely well, mail, calendar, contacts and folders.

Hi, I'm new to this forum and also a new owner of HTC Magic in HK.
I've tried cmf's instruction to fastboot with recovery-new.img. However, the screen seems just stay on the "HTC MAGIC" logo and looks like it's hanged... And I've no way to power it off except pulling the battery...
So is there any more thing I can do to help? As long as I don't need to flash until I can get a safe flash backup, I can still try them out (Well, I'm still afraid of bricking my first smartphone...)

yes, same here in HK HTC Magic, after sending the recovery-new.img, the phone is re-booting with hanged in HTC magic logo

I found that it is possible to execute files inside the /sqlite_stmt_journals directory. So I'm thinking... If we can copy the su command to /sqlite_stmt_journals and execute it there, then we can gain root access?
But I don't know where to get su from... I can't find the file inside the phone...
Anybody can share some insight on this?

You could try copying /bin/sh to su, if the phone is using something like busybox (a multi-call binary), then the one program acts differently if it's called a different name, if you see what I mean.
Really it would be good if somebody who understood the Android stuff, like Haykuro, could explain maybe why the recovery-new.img hangs, and how a working recovery-new.img should be made that can be started via fastboot.

Daldroid knows how....

If that's the firmware you need, just download it and put in a zip file.
right click on the folder then add to archive. use the compression method store.
That should work but do a backup before hand just in case.

I tried to zip it and rename it to update.zip and install it via cwm recovery but the recovery said that it failed on signature.. Something.,,

The file is already a zip file, it's just in the wrong compression method...
using winrar, open the zip file, then tools, then convert archive.
A box should appear, change the archive format to zip, and compression method to store.

Hi, isaias19, I also have a prototype o3d. I can not use it after rom(v10d, v10e) upgrade. If possible, could you post your v08 rom backup file using cmw?? Thanks.

@ modernbruce
we have the same problem , i did not backup my stock rom thats why iam searching for the v08 firmware. =C

Hi ,
For your case update.zip will not solve your problem.
you need dump your system and replace by another one:
To see your partition :
adb shell cat /proc/partitions
After try use these command to put your new system :

Help with a chinese model phone, A101, deleted /system/bin/sh..

Hello all,
Firs I like to apologies if I've posted in the wrong section of the forum.
As the title says, I have a Iglo A101 with GingerBread 2.3.4 phone and I accidently deleted the system/bin/sh file.
I was searching for a2sd and I downloaded it, but when running it, instead of pressing 1 - "install a2sd" I pressed 2 "uninstall a2sd", by mistake, and by the time I realized the sh file was deleted. Now the phone is no longer rooted and can't be rooted and also my Wi-Fi doesn't work anymore.
I've search the net for answer but I can't find a solution to this type of phone.
Could someone help me fix this or at least get the Wi-Fi working again?
Thanks in advanced...

OK, I've manage to contact the retailer and he gave me what appears to be the all system files, as now I have a rar containg system.img userdata.img recovery.img etc etc. How do I install this files, because he doesn't appear to know either. I tried from the recovery mode using install update.zip from sdcard but it give's me invalid OTA package and I can't find an answer on how to flash a img file from recovery mode...

Does the device have fastboot? If so the files need to flashed using fastboot. The command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash system system.img.
If your device does not have fastboot then you will need to extract the system.img and make a flashable .zip so you can flash through CWM or whatever your recovery is. If you are using stock recovery then I eexpect you will either need to find a solution or send it off for repair. I will have a look into helping you get your device back up and running but I cant promise to succeed. Give me a few days and I will report back with any solutions or info to get you on your way to fixing your device.

hi
i had similar problem on this device a101 i did not delete any folder but by rooting the device my wifi and Bluetooth stoped working.i solved the problem by the factory menu.....have you tried it?

i did factory reset, but since there a system file missing it doesn't solve it..Can't there be a way to create an update.zip package with the sh file and then apply like an update from recovery? I've been trying to understand what does invalid OTA package mean, I think if that would be solved then I could easily put the file back...

i think you need spb launcher
i have to admit i used it only ones before for china 5388 there i needed com + usb cable here you need just a normal cable us the boot on this phone is different i have all you need give me email i will send to you. i have scater for a101 file too.i never used it but i have.Us i said my phone work ok after reset from factory mode

still nothing?

[Q] [ROM stock] I'm searching for Alcatel OT-4033D ROM

Hi,
As the title suggests I'm looking for the original firmware of the Alcatel OT 4033D because, after I bricked mine, I can't find a working ROM for my phone (I've tried various ROM for MT6572 processor and Android 4.2.2 but I don't read the SD card and the SIM (Although setting the correct IMEI))
If someone is own this device could make me a dump? I just need the file "system.img", the others I already have.
PS: It's okay if it's not the file .Img but the zip of the partition with the files contained in /system
Thanks in advance to who answers C:

Thank you for that n1osbb2;51494733.
I also have a bricked one, it gets stuck at animation. I can boot into stock recovery.
Can someone tell me what I need to do to fix it?
Another idea is if we could change the firmware version number to something lower, then the Alacatel "Mobile Upgrade S" would be essentially forced to overwrite it. Right now it sees my phone's version as up to date and stops there.
So... Is it at all possible to alter the firware version number on the phone?

n1osbb2, could you please take a backup with MTK Droid Root & Tools as well?
You can find it here under Android Software and Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi, the backup by MTK droid tools fails everytime, I'm trying to debug the error.. If I have sucess I'll upload it.
BTW you can try another methods:
-Flash the CWM using MTK droid tools ( if you want the modified recovery,img I can upload it, or if u want MTK generates the img automatically: there is a guide on google; and then you can flash my backup without user data trought the CWM
If u want CWM make adb works, so you can do a backup of your firmware in order to can come back in the prevoiuos situation if it's needed
OR
-Using the latest version of SP flash tools, u can flash the system.img that u can find in my CWM backup. The latest version have no bugs with the generation of the scatter file, so it could work, but I'm not sure
Sorry for my bad english, I hope you understand..
Let me know if one of this methods works, thank you!

Is the modified recovery.img not the one included in the zip you uploaded?
Re the second option, there is no system.img inside - that's the reason I asked for a MTK Droid Root & Tools backup.
The contents of your zip are these:

I confused the system.ext4.tar with the system.ext4.img
So, I have done half MTK droid backup (it stops when it give me the error, so is not thecomplete backup, but the system.img os ok..) and there is the system image file.. I can upload it 5-04 night (GMT+1) or maybe this night. I'll post the link when it's uploaded.
The firmware of the 4033D have the custpack partiotion too, adn I don't know if it's needed too, so if the flash of system.img fails I'll upload the custpack too
The recovery with CWM is here: https://www.mediafire.com/?bg4rtah9tsbhszs
EDIT: I done a full backup with MTK adn I prepared files for flash tool. I compressed it all in ~460MB archive, t should contain everything. The upload time is the same!
EDIT2 4-3-14 0051 gmt+1: I'm uploading it on Mediafire! It's a high compressed arc archive, so it can drop the pc perfomance while extracting, so have patience

I've installed CWM 5 ad I did a nandroid backup.. It's 1.6GB ( uncompressed ).. So, I'll begin to upload it 31 night (GMT+1) splitted in parts in MEGA or MediaFire.
If someone can test it is better, but it should work!

excuse me, im new here this is my first time on this device so totally empty, can you please make an idiots guide on how to get on with this, i have the same problem here stuck at boot screen. i really appreciate it.

[Q] Please help me step by step for a custom ROM?

Hi guys,
I really need help on this, and i am hoping very much someone can be patient with me as i try to install a custom ROM on my HTC Desire S.
The BIGGEST problem i am facing is getting command text correct in the command window, i am using Windows 7 home premium on a laptop, the previous posts i read and followed were all saying put this in the command and put that in the command but none of them were correct and my computer kept saying wrong!
I am currently at the stage where i have visited HTC Dev and i have sucessfully gone through the procedure for unlocking the bootloader, i found this difficult to do, command prompts they gave were wrong i had to change paths, and i was missing certain .dll files on my computer too, which HTC did not mention i would need, but here i am after days of messing about and trying all sorts of commands, with a unlocked bootloader, with S-ON and running a Vodafone stock rom of Gingerbread Android version 2.5.3.
My phone is Vodafone branded i wish to remove all of their branding and apps, and install a plain unbranded ROM.
However, i need step by step instruction, i can not do this from threads that say "follow this here (link to another thread) which then links to another and another, i ended up with i think 15 tabs in the browser open, with conflicting advice, conflicting information, mistakes, and a whole lot of jargon that i did not understand, so what i really am hoping for is firstly links to all the software or downloads that i will need first, direct link to the rom, the backup, and anything else, if anyone needs info from my phone to pinpoint a specific rom i am happy to give it, i do not mind another HTC rom as long as its plain with no carrier apps or branding on it, then once i have got all the downloads sorted out i can start from there.
Please help me out i have been at this for days and getting nothing except confused.
Many thanks! :good:

I have found this quite up to date guide which is very easy to follow, are the rom and all the downloads OK for a UK phone?
I have hboot 200. 0002 as well as S-ON so i believe its the same, i can follow this one quite easy is it ok to do??
Also, while flashing this rom and recovery image, should i have SDK tools open on my computer??
And another thing, i noticed while extracting the recovery image that it just says recovery, should i rename it to recovery.img or leave it as it is? Because the command prompts are saying "recovery.img" and not just "recovery"?????
Thanks.

First you need to get in Folder Options in your WIN 7 Control Panel.There's option in View tab called " Hide extension for known file types". Uncheck that option and click ok.Then you will see extensions for all files on you win 7.This will show you extension of recovery.Should be .img.
Then you can follow that guide.I used the same one.
You need to get newest recovery.There are TWRP and 4ext for HTC Desire S.They are up to date.Do a little search and read posts and info.
Check post about panels (Hitachi or Sony)http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943524.Again search for that in HTC Desire S forum here.When you check all of that you can try any custom ROM but always backup nandroid.
Little hint : If you want to start CMD window in any folder first open that folder hold SHIFT and right click on empty space.You will get command there named Open command window here.Click on that and you can work.
GL.If you need more help ask here again.

Thanks mate, i will do what you advise, good trick about opening command in a folder
I will ask if i get any questions then cheers

OK i have a question straight away, it says in the tutorial:
Copy the rom onto the SD card, then it says copy the boot.img onto the android C folder - SO -
Do i first extract the boot.img and copy it to the C android folder AND copy the same boot.img onto my SD card, as well as the meta info and other stuff?
OR do i copy the boot.img onto the C drive only, and copy everything else onto the SD card?
A little confused here on what to do.
Thanks for any help.

You do exactly that. You place the rom into the sd card, and you copy the boot.img into the said folder.
This is because you are "unlock s-on", the recovery isn't able to flash the boot.img, so you have to do it manually.
Remember, even after you flash the rom, if you did not flash the boot.img the phone will NOT fully boot.
*also, the guide says to turn the phone off after flashing the rom and boot into the bootloader. I dont think this is necessary, you can just reboot the phone into bootloader from the recovery itself.

So, just to clarify, i copy the whole .zip onto the SD card (including boot.img) and then re copy the boot.img into my Android folder on the computer (i will then have boot.img on BOTH the SD card and the C Android folder, this is where i am getting confused, i intend to start flashing today sometime.
OK i am going to flash Reaper V.4 rom and 4EXT as recovery, if anyone has better suggestions on a safe rom please let me know i will flash that instead.
Thanks.

You can try other roms when you try that.There's a lot of nice and smooth editions. First try reaper you have it now.
With S-ON you have to flash boot.img in fastboot after you install rom from recovery.That's why you need to copy it in android-tools folder.Whole zip goes on sd and you backup old rom from recovery, wipe everything except sd (wipe is recommended) and then install from zip in recovery.After that reboot in bootloader then flash boot.img from fastboot.Reboot and wait.Should be in in few min.No more then 10.Follow the guide.

Any idea what i am doing wrong here? I do have recovery.img in my Android folder, but its not in the android tools folder, should i be putting it in the adt bundle folder rather than leaving it outside of it?
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

C:\Users\Michael>cd \Android
C:\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
error: cannot load 'recovery.img'
C:\Android>

Yes put the recovery.img inside the fastboot/adb folder

jmcclue means you need to download gapps for your android.That will be in zip and you install it through recovery just like rom.Most of custom rom require that step.Copy zip on SD,boot in recovery and flash from zip.Reboot and you will get google apps.
This guide is for HTC Desire S and you can find most of things you need but for roms follow Android Development in HTC Desire S on XDA.

fastboot is controlled by the bootloader, the rom can't affect it in any way. The option "fast boot" in HTC Sense roms is something else, that sort of hibernates the phone instead of powering off, so the phone "boots fast".

Thanks guys i will go aheah and do these
