Rogers Hidden Recovery Menu??!!? - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

Ok, so i have been trying to root my Rogers Magic which has a perfected spl (1.76.0010) with no success of course, i hate my phone after this update because its really buggy. Anyways a weird thing happened while i was playing around with it, if i boot the phone using home + power, i get the image of the phone with an exclamation mark, if i press home + power again while on this screen, i get a recovery screen similar to amon ra's... here's what it looks like:
Android system recovery utility
Use trackball to highlight;
click to select.
reboot system now [Home+Back]
apply sdcard:update.zip [Alt+S]
wipe data/factory reset [Alt+W]
Does this mean we can flash roms just like on a rooted phone? or is it old info?

please refer to other threads ...
This recovery would not help you root your phone, unless there would be someone who can unlock this perfect spl (1.76.0010) first and then we can have another recovery interface to get rid of this dummy ROM by F**KING ROGERS!!

wat u can do is try flashing spl udate.zip and radio update.zip official which has a 50%chance of u bricking coz recovery never says main version older or anything like that

It won't work, it checks the signature and refuses all non HTC signed update.zips

Just fyi guys, I installed openhome and shut off senseUI and my phone has been working a lot better. I thought SENSEUI kinda sucked to be honest.

How do you create an SPL update.zip?

I get this when trying to apply update.zip
=======================
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
verifying update package...
E:No Signature (5 files)
E:Verification Failed
Installation aborted.
=======================
with a gold card too

Downgrading
goldcard method is not working with new ROM.
Does anybody knows if it posible to downgrade to previous version of ROM? Before Jan, 2010?

dude.... have you done any reading at all?

rofl its not a hidded "rogers" recovery menu!! Every android device has a system recovery mode. What you are flashing when rooting is a custom one that will accept test key-signed updates!
For example, its the same with the Tattoo, you have to press the same combo to enter the recovery mode as on the magic but then you need to press it again to really enter it, otherwise it just shows the ! and the phone.

RUU Updates HTC: BE CAREFUL

--- Updated and simplified
Updates from HTC are randomly released for countries and regions. These Update may lock your phone. As of today, phones can be unlocked again by using the GOLDCARD approach. However, there is a much simpler way to prevent bad things from happening:
If you like flashing HTC roms and have no intention to lock your phone, follow these steps:
On the PC
1. Double Click the .exe from the update. Wait for the first window to appear (DO NOT CONNECT YOUR PHONE). Don't close the application but do not continue
2. Open explorer and navigate to the hidden directory:
Windows 7: \users\$username$\AppData\Local\Temp\... followed by something like ...\{2A3DF7FC-1693-4C53-8883-6CF09DED700D}\...
Vista: documents and settings\.....
3. You should find the install application files along with a file "Rom.zip" (40 to 90 Megs)
4. Extract the ROM.zip to your SDK Tools directory, where fastboot.exe resides
5. open command shell and navigate to your Tools directory (supposing SDK, adb and fastboot are installed)
On the Phone
6. Enter recovery console on phone (press "home" + then "on")
7. Do a nandroid backup
8. Select Wipe your phone
9. Hold "back" and select "reboot system" in recovery to enter Fastboot mode
On the PC
10. Type: "fastboot flash boot boot.img" .... wait to complete
11. Type: "fastboot flash system system.img" .... wait to complete
12. Type: "fastboot flash userdata userdata.img" .... wait to complete
13. [Optional] Type: "fastboot flash radio radio.img" .... wait to complete (note: some HTC radios locked windows mobile phones. I am not sure whether this applies for Android)
14. Reboot your phone
15. Keep the update if you like it, revert to backup via recovery and nandroid in case you don't
And sorry for any confusion caused...

fde
Thanks a lot mate... I will try the official sense for my magic then using this method first =D...
Are you sure....
That this will work? I have made the RUU Flash: RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_2.20.401.2_HTC_Nordic_release_signed_NoDriver
And that resulted in:
HBOOT-1-33-0014
CPLD-12
RADIO-3-22-23-18
I don't understand what you are meaning about the Radio.img file.
And what about the HBOOT file?
Yes it works. Just verfied it aigain. What the RUU package does is:
1. Extract the application to a temp file
2. Use ADB to flash the ROM to your phone
By the approach described in the first post, the application unpacks itself into a temp directory. This allows you to access the ROM-File which is stored as ROM.zip or something similar. By moving only the vital Boot, System and Userdata, you avoid flashing your Recovery console or Bootloader (Hboot).
It implies of course, that you DO NOT continue with the RUU application as soon as the first window becomes visible. (I will adjust the above Tutorial and make it simpler).
Problem
But the problem is that I allready have flashed my phone, is this the way to revert is så I can root it again and put custom roms on it again?

I also want to know how I can flash new ROM since people said that my spl is perfected after upgrading
I was learned that we need to use goldcard method to root again.
In our case, any idea which ROM to use as we gotta use higher ROM?
Or are we able to gain root access without touching the existing ROM?
Now even cannot boot to recovery mode.
So stupid to upgrade it although the ROM is stable and fast but no root access sucks.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks,

Well I guess my post was too late then.
However, the GOLDCARD approach, is said to allow succesful flashing of the engineering SPL or 1.33.0009. Do that and your back in business.

The problem with the goldcard method is that you lose the roms as well...
Sir, would you please let me know how to flashing engineering SPL, right now i have HBoot-1.76.007 which shipped with the Singapore HTC sense rom.
BTW: i don't care i will lose the rom or not.
Many thanks!
I flashed using RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Asia_WWE_2.16.707.3_SG_release_signed_NoDriver.exe with golden card, but got "check main rom verion" error msg.
then flashed using RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Asia_WWE_2.53.707.2_SEA_test_signed_NoDriver.exe with golden card, same error msg again.
I really have no idea how to flash back to engineering SPL, i'm stuck in Singapore HTC sense rom.

I did this twice on a Swiss Update, which btw wasn't worth applying. Just by the Size it's rom1.zip.
Let me download the Singapore and see what I can do.... But then looking at the guys post it seems the second file in the post is what you need. Download this package and only flash boot, system and data in fastboot mode. (From Step 4. onward in the guide). Anyway I will have a look.

Please follow the GOLDCARD method. I am not a recovery expert. I try to be cautious and was lucky until now (so I never tried it myself, but it is reported to work). Sorry for that. If :No-Frost: knows of a better guide with regard to GOLDCARD, please post!

For now the only method I know is the goldcard one... But in my country, using the goldcard method, makes the magics lose the 3g, edge or any internet mobile connection... =(...
Be careful, by using this method you can not upgrade to Snese UI (example TW). The reason being system image in Sense UI is larger than the previous 1.5 ROM system image, so system partition needs to be re-sized, which the RUU update does it for you. Otherwise you are struck with failed system image flashing.

If U updated with RUU.exe You are stuck with perfected SPL that currently can`t be bypass with goldcard ... U must wait for someone who`ll break this new SPL.

If U did it thru official RUU.exe. I`m 100% sure ... It was written here lot of times ... Instead of use RUU.exe i should make this via fastboot not RUU and flash only ROM without perfected SPL.
Unfortunately you forgot to read around before flashing. Someone's bound to fix this soon, but in the meantime you hosed yourself.
I dont think youll be in despare much longer. Someone will crack the new SPL soon enough.

Thats kinda what you get for being impatient and not reading anythign before jumping to download/flash.
Try to apply this update over, and do the following (thanks siraf):
Download this recovery, and put it on the root of your SD.
Then boot your phone to recovery, connect USB and type the following:
Code:
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img
Download update-hboot-1.76.2007-signed.zip, put it in the root of your SD and boot your phone into recovery again. Then go to apply zip from the SD (must use answer call button to press). Apply the update-hboot-1.76.2007-signed.zip.
I'm not 100 % sure this will work. Please post results!

Im fairly new to android (got my phone in Oct) and it took me a while to get the hang of this. The one thing you could do before flashing something is to do some reasearch or ask someone you trust. If not things will get ugly. This is no toy, this is some serious ****

Hmm. That's odd. Can ADB find your phone using:

mine shows my phone using adbn devices but still come up with the same error of FAILED (Remote not allow)
That error is due to your perfected SPL. Not an adb issue.

[ota] htc eu 2.10.405.2 - 2.09.405.8

New OTA Update for the EU was released today. But it has the old Radio and no further changes, except the working PEEP Twitter Client
Updates HBOOT to 0.93 and of course you will lose root, if you install AS IS! Be careful and wait for a rooted version...
Official-Link:

Thought, this could be useful
That does contain a radio update from 2.09.405.8, and updates HBOOT to 0.93, and changes the kernel too.
For me the HBoot was updated from 0.92 to 0.93.
Edit: There was some1 faster...

AFAIK the older Peep is working again also, so the folks at Twitter just loosened their leash. *wondering if HTC gave some kind of incentive*
hi all. i have 2.09.405.8.
Can i install this new ota update manually? My desire is not rooted.
How can i install it?
thx
Yes, download it rename it update.zip (not update.zip.zip, mind!!) and put it on your SD card
Boot into HBOOT, select recovery and once you get to the red ! hold volume up and press power and select 'Apply SD:update.zip' and it will install

i believe that for now on there is no way to downgrade 0.93 or even root?
unrEVOked 3.2 works - I did it the other day with the now removed version. You can also downgrade using this guide:

unrEVOked will hopefully be up again soon so everyone can root easily!
hi guys,
I try to do downgrade because of the wifi problem, but i`m unable to go to recovery mode.

1. Download the official firmware update.
2. Copy the file to your microSD card and name it update.zip (newb warning: not update.zip.zip)
3. Power off your phone.
4. Hold down the VOLUME DOWN button and power it back on.
5. The phone will now search for files like PB00IMG.zip, etc. This is normal. Scroll down to recovery and press the POWER button.
6. When you see the /!\ symbol, press the POWER button and the Volume Up button at the same time. You should be presented with a menu and one of the options should be "Apply sdcard:update.zip".
7. Use the trackball to navigate to "apply sdcard:update.zip" and select it.
8. When you see "Install from sdcard complete", select "reboot system now".

I'm getting the same issue actually. I tried both downloading OTA, and this file, but same issue.
Edit: It's due to the phone being rooted, so either wait until someone smarter than me uploads a rooted version rom, or un-root.
guys i have downloaded the file and i have the Goldcard which i made earlier when i was updating to froyo from Eclair.
can i use that old GOLDCARD or i need to make a new one ?

Rooted version ?
Hi,
Is anyone working on a rooted version of 2.09.405.8 ?
To be honest I'm not that worried about root but I guess as what I have on here is a rooted ROM I'll have to wait till I can put one on.
I had the OTA notification but it failed in Clockworkmod.
Excuse my ignorance but If I do load this ROM will it wipe everything? The OTA update says it will retain all your data but obviously doing it this way it's a bit different I guess?
HTC updates usually don't wipe but it's always recommended to backup.
Normally flashing roms from clockworkmod does not wipe unless you select wipe in the menu.
Anyway. Do a nandroid backup from clockworkmod before flashing just in case.

You can't apply the OTA to a rooted phone, you need to go back to stock and do it again. Easier to just use the 2.10.405.2 RUU and then root it again

Changing phone image version - to solve 140 bootloader version error for hTC RUU

Not sure if anyeone has posted this before. I found a way (from china) to change the phone image version, in order to prevent the error 140: bootloader version error that would occur when installing an inappropriate version of hTC RUU. I made a flashable to do that automatically.
down_version-signed.zip:
will backup the misc partition to /sdcard/misc.img if not exist
change the phone image version to the content of /sdcard/new_region_version.txt if available, or *.1.*.*(format as original pattern) when it is not.
restore_version-signed.zip:
will restore /sdcard/misc.img to the phone.
Actually, this one is not necessary. Just to give you guys one more option.
Installation:
root your phone and install a custom recovery (eg. ClockworkMod) if you have not done that yet
save the zip file in sd card
save a new_region_version.txt in sd card if you want to set a specific region version
boot your phone in recovery mode
install zip from sdcard
reboot system
an example of new_region_version.txt
Code:
1.01.708.4
It will work for downgrading phone image version (*.*.*.*) and even changing the region version (*.*.*.*).
One more thing,
Please DO NOT install RUU over models!
For example, DO NOT install an Aria RUU on a Legend.
I'm pretty sure that will brick the phone.
update:
Currently the version pattern can only be *.**.***.*
Let me know if there is any others. I'll fix that.
Now it should work for all sort of version pattern, such as *.**.***.* ; *.**.****.* ; *.**.***.** ; etc...
down_version_r3: bug fixed - when new_region_version.txt contains invalid content, phone image version will become blank.
someone told me that he can install an Asia-TW Aria RUU on an Optus-AU Aria, so it works on different region by setting RUU image version in /sdcard/new_region_version.txt
so will this change my canadian virgin legend to unbranded legend so i can install the official htc froyo for unbranded phones? can you specify a new CID that the phone will have?
has anyone tried this?
what happens, if i don´t put a new_region_version.txt on sd card?

According to the first message, if there is no new_region_version.txt, the tool will restore the original pattern.
ok, than I understood this right.
would be best option i think.
Can't do anything with the zip archive.
Do I need to rename it update.zip (Well I try it didn't work) ?
Di I need to do something in particular ? like being root or something ?
hm, tried ,too, but i cant even get the bootloader started with the files on sd card.
all i get is the dam red triangle...
Your phones have to be rooted and have a custom recovery installed. Otherwise you won't be able to flash the zip file.
Sorry, I didn't make it clear.
I'm not sure which region is currently able to receive the froyo update. I presume that's WWE. For that region, the code would be 405. So you should put 1.01.405.1 in new_region_version.txt. Then flash the zip in your rooted Legend's custom recovery mode. After that, reboot your phone in Fastboot bootloader by either `adb reboot bootloader` or press volume down and power buttons at the same time and then select fastboot. When it shows "fastboot usb plugged", install any WWE version of Legend RUU that could be found in Shipped ROMs. If it succeed, you will have a stock unrooted WWE rom on your phone and ready to receive OTA.
it works
labadios you gem!
finally installed an RUU - the WWE Buzz 1.14 etc
first time without errors as well
cheers
just booted phone up - took a while at HTC screen and when it asked for my PIN touch screen wouldn't work :s
quite worried now - any comments gratefully appreciated.
Just wanted to say THANK YOU for finding this fix.
I had the issue of not being able to run the 2.27.651.6 RUU due to my boot loader being a newer version.
Once I applied your .zip, I was able to successfully run the RUU and get back to my stock image. I was using Fresh's 2.1 image which was great. But I needed to get back to stock as I'm planning to trade it in for an EVO!
thanks a lot for this patch, now i can use ruu setup
Which model is this for?..... Can I run it on my HTC magic???.....
I have the 140 error, too...

For all those who get that error it seems the only way to flash this is with clockwork recovery does not work on amon ra. Thanks OP for this great find u saved my hero from being smashed with a hammer )
No longer works on cwm 4.0.1.4 on GSM Evo 3D:
Code:
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to Clockworkmod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.
Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
Installation aborted.

I get same error as this guy

[Q] Desire bricked?

Hello,
first of all, I have to say that Im a newbie.
I tried to install Cyanogenmod7 and think that I broke my phone,
but maybe u can help.
1. I installed the USB driver for Win7
2. I rooted my standard Desire GSM with unrevoked, using Clockworkmod recovery (I think it functioned)
3. Then I tried to install CM7, the installation was successful, but when I started my phone it hang in the bootscren with the blue androidguy and nothing went on.
4. A friend said that I have maybe to S-Off the Phone.. so I tried BUT: In step 3 of the Alpharev-software my Desire was frozen again.. I could not do anything and I knew that its maybe bricked. After 2 hours I decided to cut it off the computer.
Now it starts automatically in the Hboot 0.93 screen and i can use the Clockwork recover software. But when I try to install a ROM with the recoversoftware it doesnt function. I also tried to install that:
shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_T2_Radio_32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe
But it errors, too.
What shall I do? Is it broken?
Thanks for any help.

Okay, so I see that you used Unrevoked, however, did you also use unrevoked forever? If not, s-off hasnt been enabled. You must use Unrevoked Forever to allow custom ROM's.
After doing that, you can revert to stock by searching for "latest desire stock". Load that, then you can attempt ROM.
Unrevoked Forever installs like a .zip on the root of your card. Just go to the unrevoked site to grab the forever program. Place it in the root of the card, and then go into recovery and install.
Next, since you may not be able to access the phone, reboot and place the Cyanogenmod rom in the root of the sd card and go into recovery and install.
Let me know what happens.
Hi,
I cant install unrevoked forever.
I downloaded patch 1.3 here:
downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/current/unrevoked-forever.zip
Clockworkmod says:

Verifying system type
E:unsupported system
E:Update failed. Check /sdcard/soff.log.

Hmm ... Has my Clockworkmod recovery software a bug?
If I try to flash it again with unrevoked I get the error:
Device "/sbin/sh: getprop: not found" is not supported at this time

Okay,
I found the Bug from Alpharev:
*** Stuck on step 3 (phone is displaying progress) ***
There are several possibilities:
1. No output other than 'Normal/New NAND detected.' -> Nothing was flashed, restore your ROM and try again.
Please use AlphaRev using a stock ROM. No data2ext/whatever or other scripts that mount a SDext partition as /data.
Later versions than 1.8 will try to account for this. For now, use a stock ROM instead.

Thats exactly what happened, but it deleted my ROM which was actually on my phone
okay so what's the news now. (Sorry bout the delay). Is everything working? Let me know because I have a custom setup that can get you back to stock and then start over.
