Original 32A Rom Update from HTC-Magic Page

here is a new Rom Update for 32A HTC Magics.
i can not Download because i use a 32B and you will need the IMEI Number of the Phone.
can someone load it pls
http://www.htc.com/de/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=267&cat=2&dl_id=633
its for germans but i think it woll be multilanguage

Great, this fixes the authentication issue with Exchange server setups.
Can the new fix be included in custom ROMs? Should prove useful to many Magic users.

I tried but it wouldnt let me. Sorry.

do you still want it ?

not i but i think some others here

after installing this update, i cant start fastboot:
downloading 'boot.img' ... FAILED (remote: not allow)
what can i do?
ps: sorry for my bad english

daBriZa: I'm getting this update flashed your SPL to a perfect one. You can try this instructions:

@Wysie
I have a 32A, with the original Firmware-Update from HTC (which is here postet). Which SPL is the best for me?

Wow, I'm mega interested in the exchange fix that's in there. I hope someone can pull out that and cook it into the Cyan 4.0.1 rom for 32As. A separate installation method without reflashing would be cool too.

daBriZa
can u pls upload the files to RS

Hi there, I'm not too sure what advantage one SPL has over the other. I'm using .2005 though .

Is it as simple as backing up /system/app/Mail.pk, and using adb to push the one you attached to the same location?
In the event of replacing the rom with some other rom (currently using Cyan 4.0.1), will the files in /system/app/ be replaced and I would need to do this again?
Thanks!

FYI for anyone wishing they could access exchange, I couldn't get the file to install.
I backed up my Mail.apk (adb pull /system/app/Mail.apk Mail.apk)
Next I removed the current one (adb shell; adb rm /system/app/Mail.apk)
Then I copied the new one over (adb push Mail.apk /system/app/Mail.apk)
Finally I rebooted. After this the "Work Mail" app was gone, bummer.
The next thing I tried was putting the file in /data/app_s. This is where you stick the HTC keyboard apk, so worth a try. (adb push Mail.apk /data/app_s/Mail.apk). It didn't work either.
This is on a Roger's Magic 32a running Cyan 4.0.1.

Bump, anyone get this working? Would be nice to not use this roadsync.

Update ok for my HTC Magic.
My ROM is in French for Switzerland.
Don't forget backup before

i think you should use adb install Mail.apk

I tried first to do a "adb install Mail.apk" and I got this:
Code:

Next I removed Mail.apk with "adb shell rm /system/app/Mail.apk", and then I ran the install again and got this:

Google Search by Voice v1.4.1 install fails

Searched the forum and wiki and can't find anything on this.
Trying hard not be a 'compleet newb'....
Problem: I've tried to download and install the latest update (v1.4.1) to Google Search by Voice. It fails saying it is not correctly signed. I am not able to uninstall it via the Market software. The existing version is present and still works.
I was thinking of manually uninstalling it and then attempting a re-install from the market. Has anyone had any success getting this update to install on CM 4.2.7.1?
I'm running Cyanogen 4.2.7.1 on my HTC Magic 32B, applied over the flashed and clean-installed 1.6 rooted base - no CM Updater. (Seems to give a better, more stable result - may affect the behaviour of the update).

this stupid error happens because of the test keys or the userdebug keys thay cyanogenmod uses. I would download it somewhere online and use adb to replace the old one wiht the new one. It should work.

Yes I have the same problem with same model phone etc. etc.
I understand the workaround will be the same as Google maps 3.2.1 update but I cannot find up to date "Google search by voice" apk. I was wondering if anyone knows a source that mirrors up to date apps, or could even link a tut about how to get apk's copied out of the phones /tmp folder?

Thanks
I'll check out the package name in the Applications settings and see if I can find it anywhere or somehow capture it. Later....won't have any time until this evening.

That's great I didn't think of that, ill whip out those quotation marks and asterisks for google too. Also later...... 00:20 is not the right time for this....... so tempted......!!!

I fixed the maps.apk problem by going into adb and uninstalling maps.apk and then removing all traces of it. Then I went to marketplace and i downloaded it as normal and it now works perfectly.
Try that with voice search

Do we know what the package name is? Usually something like "com.google.android.apps.xxx" Could try uninstalling through adb. Then re-download from the market?

hello, could u plz share the installer? its not available on the marketplace in my country.
thanks very much

success
Ok, I managed to get Google Search by Voice updated to 1.4.1. I'm no pro and it took ages but it works.
Could a mod advise whether I am allowed to post a link to the apk?
I would be happy to post the steps i took but its not something i have done before and worse still, i used cmd not putty (noob error #1!). So the commands and the order i used them in are lost.
Should have used ubuntu..............
the concept consisted of updating the app and simultaneously using this command while it was downloading
Code:
cp /cache/downloadfile-9.apk /sdcard/download
"9" is only because it is the 9th apk i have downloaded and once the install fails the OS deletes the apk.
(for anyone else it would be different. go into /cache and type ls at the prompt to see what your next number will be)
then rename downloadfile-*.apk to VoiceSearch.apk, remove the original in the phone using adb and replace with the updated app.
I will post again tomorrow with clearer instructions but would much rather post a link to the apk I got, if it is permitted

hmmm. doing an 'adb shell rm /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk' and reinstalling from the market still gives you the unsigned error?

yes it will still give an unsigned error.
that is why you need to copy the apk which android market downloads to /cache before it deletes it, i copied it to /sdcard/download. then install via adb afterwards.
you have to manual install the apk to avoid unsigned error, once you have done this any future updates through market will be fine. Maps updated fine to 3.3 after i manually installed 3.2.1

How?

Any advice on how you did that? I can imagine sitting with finger poised over the enter button in an adb shell.......is that what you did? Or is there a more certain, simple way?
Thanks.

I downloaded the VoiceSearch.apk file and adb pushed it into /system/app on my phone and it works perfectly. The market sees it as installed and valid.
But I inspected my "normal" load phone (which has voice search) and nowhere could i see anything resembling "VoiceSearch.apk".
Where is this file on an un-rooted phone?

Always do a backup first!
THIS WILL WIPE DATA
GINGERBREAD AOSP
*Credits for bravoc vendor files go to cyanogenMod*
*Credits for kernel work go to Defer and Kali*
GingerBread Mostly AOSP v1.1 this is as close to AOSP i could get to build the fixes to get it to compile come from cyanogen the credits for the theme got to roberj13 (Blue Energy)
I recommend installing "Blue ADW Theme" from Sean York from the market not needed but completes the blue look and the water-fire wallpaper on the blue energy post
Ubuntu 10.10 Setup script
This should ease the pain of setting up a build environment for building gingerbread, this is based on what it took mee to set up and is not garenteed to work but im offering as some help use at your own risk, this will setup environment and sync the repo of the branch u choose
from a fresh copy of ubuntu 10.10 64-bit run this script
CM Script
AOSP Script

Awesome. Can't wait to try it.

subscribed. patiently waiting for port of froyo 2.2 to uscc desire.

Good to see youy got it going

A definite yes to apps2ext. Also, will your 2.2 include sense?

i will upload my app2sd and yes the version i am trying to port will have sense

thats awesome. how long, estimate, do you think it will be before we see a working build?

I am hoping for sometime this week depending on if i can get the wifi and bluetooth working as this was the only issues i have found so far

would love a version with apps2sd...not really intersted in wifi tethering as my work provides me with a thinkpad with built in mobile broadbrand...
Thanks for your hard work...
cant wait for 2.2
you da man

I would also love a version with apps2sd! Thanks for working on this. Does anyone know what htc apps are safe to remove? I want to get rid of footprints, stocks, etc. Are those safe to delete?

stock twitter and news were removed from this version forgot to mention that

Those are safe to remove from the stock rom correct?

Mediafire link not working.

apparently media fire is down so im uploading to another site, and yes those are safe to remove, atleast they jave not caused any issues on my phone yet

I ran all this without a single problem on my USCC Desire. Best to back it all up just to be safe.
Code:
cd /system/apps
rm HtcFootprints.apk
rm HtcFootprints.odex
rm com.htc.FriendStreamWidget.apk
rm com.htc.FriendStreamWidget.odex
rm FriendStream.apk
rm FriendStream.odex
rm com.htc.StockWidget.apk
rm com.htc.StockWidget.odex
rm YouTube.apk
rm myspace.apk
rm Stock.apk
rm Stock.odex
rm Facebook.apk
rm HtcFootprintsWidget.apk
rm HtcFootprintsWidget.odex
rm teeter.apk
rm teeter.odex
rm HtcTwitter.apk
rm HtcTwitter.odex
rm com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk
rm com.htc.TwitterWidget.odex
rm ToneRoom_04.07.2010.apk
rm HtcFacebook.apk
rm HtcFacebook.odex
rm CityID.apk
Then you have a bunch of data files in /data/data you can get rid of.
to the OP: Glad to here you got something going on this device. Looking for a big jump in performance with froyo.
edit: You can back up each app you remove from a remote install of adb by
Code:
adb pull /system/app/filename.apk
adb pull /system/app/filename.odex

noobish ? as android is a new ground for me...
what does one have to do for a backup?
can I use the built in one in bootloader or do i have to do a nandroid backup?
sorry for the noobish ?
byte
ps.. Hey Blkqi, how much memory did u get back from removing those apps?

to do a backup you would need the custom recovery and there is an option in recovery to do a backup. APP2SD rom has been uploaded working on the other as media fire seems to be down

If you boot to recovery, and do a backup from there, you should be set.

Busybox

is there a way to install busyboxy with ClockWorkMod recovery?

Well most roms have a version of it what rom are you running?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

no need to install busybox unless your on an older rom/kernel, but for whatever reason you need to there is one in the market

I am running the epic experience v1.2.06 and i have tried the one on the market and it always comes up fails

Try downloading titanium backup and go to the problems section and it will install busybox.
sent from the epic

tried that and it failed

Well I looked and the ee rom has busybox and just wondering what do you need it for?
sent from the epic

Metamorph keeps telling me I need to install it but the installer tells me its installed :-( what location shuld I pick?

Maybe it's already installed. Most of the ROMs have it already built in.

Click to collapse
you need to adb shell or run a terminal on your handset and create a link where metamorph is expecting to find busybox (or simply copy the binary)
i.e.,:
$su
#ln -s /sbin/busybox /system/bin/busybox
- or -
$su
#cp /sbin/busybox /system/bin/busybox
linking saves you the trouble of version mismatching, but some people seem to have issues with it.

Samsung S Captivate i896 CA Version Rogers

Hello to all,
I've been reading alot but i'm stuck in one litle thing. My phone is a US-CA version of i896 Captivate and i wanna move the rom to portuguese locale compatible.
I was already able to root it, but unable to do a rom backup in case things go wrong, because rom manager is always giving me error of "E: failed to verify whole-file signature" During Backup when it reboots and try to backup.
So any help is apreciated if possible. I wanna do the things with care that's why i try to read all that i can grab at google and here also.
The phone is already 2.2 factory and was bought last April.
Thanks in advance.

i think i hadn't ead this one .....

su root
