Android 1.5 to 1.6 No signature/Verification Failed - How to? - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

Hi!
I have one HTC Magic Vodafone Portugal and i´m trying to update Android 1.5 to 1.6.
I want to use the original files listed on http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html
I follow the steps but always get this two errors:
-No signature (X files)
-Verification failed
Someone can help me with this?

no root? no dev-phone? btw. it can be the ion rom stock at boot screen.
use some of the custom 1.6 roms here in the forum

So How can I put my phone in root mode?
I dont want to use costum roms because sometimes they have more stuff that should....

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking
or search in market for 1-click root

Thank you very much.
BTW there is any away of backup actual rom?

[ROM][32B] Official OS from NTT Docomo HT-03A Japan

NTT Docomo officially released this OS in July. I'm posting the nandroid backup from a new retail device for developers, or for anyone who rooted their HT-03A and wants to restore the original OS. Download it here.
This OS contains Japanese IME iWnnIME and other Japan locale specific modifications, similar to my previous post containing Google Japan's developer OS.
Thank you!!
How do you install this on the phone though?
It's a nandroid backup, so you can do "fastboot flashall", or fastboot flash the partitions one at a time, check the docs for fastboot. Also I think some modified recovery images can restore directly from SD card.
Yeah I just figured after reading someone elses post on your other thread.
I ended up doing something like fastboot erase system.img -w (or something) then flashed the system.img, boot.img & data.img & it worked!
Although auto rotation seems to be a bit dodgy on my phone but it doesnt matter either way because the IME is pretty quick & smart! many thanks!!
Hi,
I tried to install the update from 1.5 to 1.6 (CDB72 to DRD08) but i keep getting the error:
E: No signature (309 files)
does anyone know how to get around this?
Im using an unlocked HTC Magic in England and im running Android 1.5 (CDB72, the Docomo factory version which is the rom from this thread).
bump
anyone? ive been looking for over a month for a solution and still nothing...
bump? anyone?
Is there any official QRコード reader from NTT DoCoMo or other nice apps available on this ROM?
Please Help me
Also I have one device as yours . I have donwload your package and also do the same procee as you , but I didn't succes . My HBoot is 1.53.02000 . can you teach me how to do ?

Yes, I had same problem. But I could cope with this problem after I signed signed-zaku-DRD08-from-CDB72.4246ab98.zip again, which was downloaded by Docomo's 1.5 ROM.
Good luck!

Can't figure why you'd want the DoCoMo vanilla image in England unless you want to cook your own ROM or return an HT-03A to DoCoMo for service. Japanese font support is built-in and the system font is DroidSansFallback.ttf
I live Japan - if it's for the IME, there are MUCH better ones out there - Simeji's great. Was there anything else special about the stock one? It's been so long since I've looked at it.
**jmaurice, thanks for the nandroid backup.** My Nandroided backup of HT-03 1.5 was too customized to be useful anymore
I have 2 devices :
LIVE sapphire :
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
DEAD sapphire :
stuck on bootscreen or can only go to fastboot.
SAPPHIRE EVT1 32B SHIP S-ON 0
HBOOT-1.53.02000 (SAPP40000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-3.22.26.04
any chance to load 20090801-docomo-ht-03a.zip via goldcard? I created goldcard from the LIVE sapphire and put the zip, renamed to sappimg.zip and load from fastboot but did not succeed..
If possible could anyone has this device can make a goldcard and send to me?
So I could try to bring back the dead sapphire..
many tx..
Unable to download the ROM from jmaurice's link. Does anyone has an alternate link?
Help appreciated.
Ditto that on the broken link. Does anyone have a nandroid of the 1.6 updated OS? My phone refuses to install the update when I get it legitimately OTA.
So every time I tried flashboot flashall I kept getting errors regarding "-p not set and blah blah android_product_out" so in order to fix this I did the following:
1: Place Maurice's files into a folder on my desktop called "A"
2: using the recovery in Maurice's package, I did the following:
flashboot boot recovery.img
3: when in recovery, I performed a Nandroid backup
4: when complete, I turned off my device and took out the SD card and put it into my PC
5: find the Nandroid backup folder on the SD card and delete all the files inside
6: replace those deleted files with the files in the "A" folder on your desktop
7: put SD card back into the phone and go into flashboot mode
8: flashboot boot recovery.img
9: after it boots, select the option to "Restore Last Backup" (or something along those lines). The recovery loader will then restore the Maurice's files to the device.
Done. Now I just want to find the 1.6 update file from Docomo.
edit: Even without a Docomo SIM, because I have the 1.5 running, I turned on WIFI and connected to my home network and the 1.6 update is downloading as I type this.
And fail. The update failed because "No signatures found". Will have to play a little more.

Is there no hope for 1.6 users on a UK voda magic?

Hi folks.
I am desperate to get Cyanogens mod on my phone but I can't downgrade to 1.5 because i'm on 1.6 with a UK vodafone Magic (32B).
Any chance a serious andoid expert could step in and tell me:
Will there be a new image made to fix this issue?
is there a method I will understand? It says on the Cyanogen Wiki that there has been "some success" with my version but I can't find where it says how to downgrade for my version
I keep hearing about gold card or summink but i'm a noob and I don't have the foggiest idea where to start.
Please help!! and try to make your responses understandable
Dont worry...
Hi there
I think is possible what you're trying to do, but in order to change your rom you don't need downgrading nowadays (HTC are not PSPs, hehe).
I have a magic from Vodafone ES, and what you have to do first is check your model, can be 32A (HTC) or 32B (Vodafone, less ram in cell phone), so you'll probably have 32B like me.
After this, you need Android SDK and drivers to connect your device usb, load a modified SPL via ADB/fastboot (there's a thread in the forum with the HBOOT collection, you need one of those in your cell in order to change the rom).
Summarizing:
1. check if 32B
2. get Android SDK to use the commands fastboot/ADB
3. replace SPL
4. continue with the cyano's wiki
I followed this: http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=74683 (sorry is in spanish and a bit outdated, but the apps you need like the SDK are in there, and you have some screenshots, you can skip the root part since cyano's mod is rooted already).
About the goldcard method, I dont know because mine hadn't had perfect SPL, I only had trouble with the usb driver, and downloaded HTC sync (look for it on google if you need) and adb/fastboot detected my device.
A good idea is to install a recovery image once you change your SPL, I personally recommend Amon_RA's recovery 1.5.2.
Last but not least, these explanations are the basics, I know it sounds like chinese to you but read more posts in the forum, there's a cyanogen flashing guide as well, with all the information and these steps you'll do fine.
Hope you'll succeed, let me know your issues
I do understand reasonably well but you cannot use the guide on here with a UK magic as the SAPPH.img file or whatever has an incorrect ID. it's at this point the process cannot be completed.
Thanks so much for your lengthy reply but in this case I believe my phone is unique and the problem cannot be be as easily resolved as you suggest. I must downgrade to 1.5.
Are any of the extreme android geeks able to shed light on this?
I can shed light on you as I have a Vodafone HTC Magic 32B. I used the instructions at the link below and got my phone back to Cupcake, but oddly enough I used the MyTouch instructions and searched online for a suitable sappimg.nbh file as the one they provided didn't work for me. Now I am running Qteknology MagicSense Hero ROM with working LEDs. Forget about ADB, SDK and the Goldcard method... I am sure you want the simplest way to unroot so you can get back to 1.5 and the reroot to whatever you like. Here it is: http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-root-a-donut-phone-android-1-6/
This is great news but I have tried that method with the sappimg.nbh and it says incorrect ID every time.
Are you using a UK vodafone magic then? If so, where did you find a SAPPIMG that worked?
Please try and remember!
It doesn't matter that your phone is a UK Vodafone Magic.. if you google sappimg.nbh and download a few until you get the one you need you will have your phone reverted back to it original state... ready to root. If you stop your search after one attempt you will not have done all you needed to do. You don't have to know any codes or get another SD card.. just put some effort into it from your computer. Google is your friend.
but being a bit of a noob to all this, surely trying sappimg files at random might risk bricking my phone? I heard there was a good sappimg for all but my version of the phone which is why I mentioned it.
Maybe someone on here has a sappimg known to work with my phone?
But yes, i'm off to do some intense googling.
Thanks
Hi
I have a UK Voda Magic and I followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=579328 and worked perfectly for me
It truly is lovely of you all to try and help and I appreciate it but I suspect you have not read my comments properly.
Those of you that have commented here were only able to get it to work because you were flashing from/rooting from a 1.5 cupcake build. Once the OTA 1.6 donut update is on a UK magic it cannot be downgraded and so all comments thus far are superfluous. contrary to other comments it is necessary to flash SAPPIMG.nbh first and this does not work on my phone - incorrect CID.
Is there anyone on here that can help with MY issue?
Thanks.
Strange, because I have no issues flashing UK Voda 1.6 phones, just fastboot and use ADB to load recovery image, then flash whatever 32B ROM I like (Dwangs 1.17.1 is great). I did a work collegues before Christmas and his phone had never been modified, only received the OTA update from 1.5 to 1.6 around October time.
I'm on it. That's the way I used to flash roms back when i first got my magic. Now i've been thrown by all the simple guides to put cyanogen and I thought the sappimg method was the only way. I'll just download the sdk and get on my merry way
I don't understand what the issue is? I have a UK vodafone 32B and have been flitting between CM's mods, Hero mods backwards and forwards with no issues whatsoever?
I'm on CM's latest right now (well, a few back now 4.2.11 latest), just followed the instructions and it worked....?
I certainly did read your OP correctly and I also was on 1.6 when I followed the link I posted. In that link it has instructions on how to do it if you are on 1.5 OR 1.6
Started out with 1.5 Vodafone UK Magic which i've flashed many times using the fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.4.img method.
At one time i went back to stock 1.5 but let it update itself (OTA) to 1.6. Since then i've continued to flash new ROMs without problem.

hi alfieg
ive vodafone magic 32B with donut and perfect SPL, in present day, I tried all the guides and methods in many forums, without success, for example, if you follow the guide in wiki cyano, already the first step there are problems, how I try to update with sappimg. (cupcake 1.5) as the ends' update writes "main version is older," "update failed "... if you do not then a way to get cupcake is impossible to have root on magic 32b with donut and Perfect spl ....
Indeed in the wiki says, if you have donut Downgrading to 1.5 FAILED: HTC Magic Vodafone ES (Spain) (32B) Official 1.6 updated OTA "
wait a few geek we solve the problem ...
I don't see what the problem is. You should have been reverted back to 1.5 and flashing new ROMs. The instructions are simple.. someone else has done all the hard work.. all you have to do is download a file and hold your phone.

download a file, to make what? If you can not root for real?
Will you lot please listen to me!
There are two methods reccommended:
1) Flash the SAPPIMG.nbh to downgrade back to 1.5 - this does not work on a UK magic on vodafone 32B at all! It reports Invalid CID, update failed!
2) use the fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.4.img via the SDK - This does not work on my phone! - I have the device listed when I use "adb devices" so the drivers are ok but it hangs at <Waiting for device> when i try to fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.4.img!!!!!! No ammount of killing the server and remounting as per the cyano instructions works!!!!! in fact, it wont let me remount (Operation not permitted)!!!
If you don't understand please don't post. People who have not updated to 1.6 OTA and people who don't have a UK voda 32B - stop posting here.

I have a New Zealand Vodafone Magic 32B and they share the same Hboot 1.33.0004 (SAPP10000) SPL with the UK (and NL and AU) vodafone phones. That means they are VERY easy to load alternate ROMs onto. The horrible stuff many Americans and others have to go through to root their phones isn't required for us.
You do need to get the Android SDK installed and talking properly to your phone.
Assuming you have the SDK set up and you can see your USB-connected phone listed when you enter the "adb devices" command, then the rest should be easy. See the Cyanogen Mod wiki for the details. You want the section on "non-Tmobile 32B magics" on this page:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
It starts with:
"Non-TMobile 32B Magics
If the above doesn't work for you, don't despair. Some non-US Magics are shipped with a fastboot compatible SPL installed. If you see 3 skateboarding androids when you boot to fastboot, you should be able to do the following:"
..............
This is the part you want to pay attention to, assuming you have the SDK installed properly. Our phones are actually MUCH easier to load others ROM on because we have those fastboot-enabled SPLs already in place and this is the first, BEST way for us to do it.
Whatever you do, do NOT flash the "Danger SPL". There is no need to for an HTC Magic with the Hboot 1.33.0004 (SAPP10000) SPL.
If you're hopelessly lost at this point, seek hands-on local help. You don't know enough to do this by yourself without risking screwing up. if no one can help you, then take your time. Learn the stuff you need to know....Being in a hurry is a great way to go wrong. I spent 3 months reading and thinking about it before I loaded my first ROM. Much of the advice is for the Dream / G1 or locked MyTouch3G or Magic 32B phone from telcos who lock them....and simply isn't relevant for the HTC Magic 32B from Vodafone. the single section I'm pointing you to above is all we need to get it done.
Finally, here is my own "simple guide" for getting loading alternate ROMs on a Vodafone HTC Magic 32B. This is about OUR phone...and should work if you work your way through it.
http://truthseekernz.blogspot.com/2009/11/simple-guide-to-loading-new-roms-on.html
You don't need to worry about "gold cards" and all that stuff. You'll be flashing an already rooted ROM and you will have backed up your un-rooted original load with "nandroid" before you change ANYTHING. That backup is your path back to the way your phone was before you rooted it by flashing an already rooted system ROM. in loading ROMs like Cyanogen's you're not baking a cake, you're buying one....so you don't need to know how to make one, you just need to know where to get one and how to serve it....if that analogy makes sense.
Simply, you start by: fastboot boot RA-recovery-1.5.2G.img:
Then, from the recovery menu of functions you do these steps:
1. Backup (nandroid)
2. Wipe system / data
3. Wipe cache
4. flash from any zip on sdcard (the one you want to flash today, you may have put several different ROM images in /sdcard)
5. reboot to brave new world.
6. Make a backup copy on your PC of the /sdcard/nandroid folder on your sdcard so you won't lose it accidentally if your sdcard is corrupted, lost or stolen.
Done.
To save time and let you backup / flash ROMs anywhere you happen to be standing, you can flash Amon-RA's recovery onto your phone or you can load it via fastboot every time and leave the default recovery in place. The very first nandroid backup you made will have backed up the factory recovery image as well as the factory system image as they were at the time you backed them up. So they can be restored if you want to at some point update them with an OTA update. I suspect Vodafone / HTC will be rolling out an Android 2.0 / 2.1 update to Magic phones at some point. If they don't that would be a black mark against them....something to remember when thinking about buying any future phone from anyone: "WILL THEY SUPPORT IT FOR THE SAME 2 YEARS YOU'VE SIGNED UP FOR".
If the answer isn't YES......then that's worth remembering. Vodafone / HTC's record so far is good. The last OTA update was barely 3 months ago.

Get latest version of fastboot binary. I had problems with original one and htc magic. Drop fastboot.exe into the sdk tools folder.
Reboot your phone holding back and power simultaneously.
Then plug usb cable.
in Dos prompt go to sdk tools folder and type "fastboot devices"
if your device is listed you are good to go.
then "fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.4.img"

Root Mytouch 3G - Motherboard 32B

I have tried different methods of rooting but it keeps saying the forums where I go that I have to downgrade from 1.6 to 1.5. Is their any other way without downgrading to do it. I need help and would appreciated all your help that ya'll gave me. Thanks in advanced!
You need to downgrade to 1.5 in order to use the root exploit to flash your recovery file. There is no other way. Once you load a new rom, it will be back to 1.6 anyways. I fail to see the problem.

[Q] 1-click root for HTC Magic - What happens??

Hi Everyone!
I have a HTC Magic with 1.5 and HTC Sense (32a - black edition from Three Austria).
I wasn't able too root my phone or to install custom roms because I didn't want to make a "GoldCard" - and I am honest - it was very complicated (especially for 32a).
Now I have read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598
Can someone please answer me the following questions:
1. Will it work on my version of the HTC Magic?
2. Will I be able to install Custom Roms (e.x: Cyanogen)
If the 2 questions must be answered with NO - can anyone give me a real simple step-by-step description of the procedure?
Thanks.

1. May be. In notes to 1clickroot application writen, that it uses exploit. There is no stats what rom has/hasn't this exploit
2. There is one method. To install any custom ROM you must change stock recovery to custom. To do this, you must get root (su binary) and flash_image binary (if your ROM hasn't).
Then you can custom flash recovery via flash_image
Code:
adb shell
su
flash_image flash recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Then you can flash custom ROM via recovery (according your current radio 3.22.XX.XX aka old_radio)
This way used on HTC Tattoo
Has anyone tested this on a Magic 32B with 1.6?
Universal Androot is working on these phones. Find it, install the apk, run it... you will then have root...
Then through ADB you install your recovery, then through recovery you install your rom.
Takes about 20min minus if you need/want to change radios/spls
When flashing a rom i get the error: "No Signature"
EDIT: My fault.. Did something wrong installing the recovery

Bad thing is, now all the people ive had waiting for me to make goldcards are all waiting for this lol

Excellent! I read a tweet from Cyanogen:
Carriers patching exploid I guess. At least their response to security holes is getting better even if it takes away a vector for modders.
They should just give up and step into 2010. Not everyone wants to be spoonfed.
Not give up on patching blatent problems, but spend more tike fixing them and less time developing things like nand lock.

I know that this 1-click root is taking advantage of the exploit in some roms, so after reading this tweet from Cyan, it doesn't seem that it's going to last for very much longer. Next OTA and next generation devices may not work with this method.

hi, i tend to agree with you. i did run the universalandroot.apk. i did get the superuser permissions apps. however, when i tried to run titanium backup and adfree, i got message saying that they can't access the root privileges. when I ran busybox installer, it said that my phone is rooted but busybox is not found.
so, if anyone was successfull in rooting their htc magic 1.5, please share some information to do so.
my phone is htc magic 1.5 pvt 32A which i bough from Three in Australia.
thank you.

Yes - why disable??
You still get superuser you just dont get the prompt to allow or deny it on your phone...
Did I not write clearly enough?
Because it wouldn't work for me if i left it enabled.
And after this I am able to install a custom rom? Or do I have to put the recovery on first?
The application only enables you to flash a custom recovery and then from it you can flash any ROM you want.

look here you can find many official RUU for desire.
I don't know if it's posible to downgrade oficial ROM
If Desire were mine, I root it first, and after, do what I need. Rooted smartphones are always better to modify.
Like Hanisa said, look there. It would have helped if you knew your exact build version before.
Every Official HTC Desire RUU ROM has it's own build version and baseband (radio) version.
Go to settings>about phone>software then look for your baseband version (Radio version) (it may have not changed - for example: the original radio from my HTC Desire is linked only to my original RUU ROM). Use that information to find your RUU file, like Hanisa said, here (search using find on page)
Your baseband (radio) version should look something like this: 32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11
If you find you original RUU ROM, keep it on your computer. In case of anything you can just install it and you will have your stock ROM again.
Thank you guys for the quick answer,
Before I start to downgrade my Desire from 2.3 to 2.2, I wondering to give a last chance to Gingerbread and tray to root my Desire... So my question is... is it has possible way to root Desire 2.3 (Gingerbread)?
Yes i think so. But if you root your HTC Desire you will want to try different ROMs, there are many HTC Sense ROMs that are cleaner and faster than your stock ROM. Here is a step by step video tutorial on how to root your HTC Desire.
You won't regret rooting your HTC Desire, just make sure to make a Nandroid Backup (like the videos will show you), and also i suggest you make a Rom Manager backup - you can find the app on Android Market - (it's like Nandroid Backup) only you can move the backed-up files to your computer (this is good if something happens to your SD card and you have to format it for example).

Thank you I3xander,
But i Think that video tutorial is not going to work on my Desire, because of this ***This method only works for users with hboot 0.93 and lower. Sorry 1.06 users, but until unrevoked updates, your stuck on stock htc***
My Desire hboot is 1.02.
If you know some other way how to root Desire 2.3 Official rom please tell me.
Again Thank you for the advice.
I am sorry, if I will find more information about rooting your device with hboot 1.02 I will tell you. The only thing you could try, I think, is Revolutionary. It's in developer preview, but it may work, if you have time read and see if it can help you.
And I have no idea if you tried to install an original stock RUU ROM (2.2 Froyo) like Hanisa told you, it may (i am not sure) change your hboot. (Search here using baseband version (Radio version) to find your stock RUU ROM.
If it works you should be able to root your device with no issues.
My baseband is this:32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 when I tried to downgrade it said - please use correction version (bootloader fail 140) - cant find the correct one .. can anybody help
Thanks Danvad

i used the revolutionary.io (google it - first option) tool to repair my recovery menu then "upgraded" using RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed and it worked
good luck

Now I tried it by Doing revolutionary and applying the PB99IMG.zip afterwards.
Now I get Bootloader...Bypassed
And the Radio_V2 Pu Fail
