Problems re-flashing recovery - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

Happy Easter to everybody!
Since a couple of days (when I tried several times to install WLegend 0.3), when I go to recovery and try to wipe dalvik-cache, i get an error message saying
Code:
run "wipe dalvik" via adb
I would like to overcome the problem reflashing the rav 1.5.2 on my magic, but when I try to do it via adb, the following message appears:
Code:
mtd: read error at 0x00020000 (Out of memory)
Can someone help me re-flashing the recovery?
Many thanks!!!

no one who wants to help me?

i've read somewhere that that error message that you get is bug in recovery and although it said that it didn't erased dalvik, it did.
so actually...you can flash your new rom without reflashing recovery or what so ever...

ya its a bug in the 1.5.2 recovery, upgrade to the latest 1.6 something

The first time I flashed the custom recovery, all this sh!t didn't appeared!

I used flashrec and it worked like a charm. Anyway, why are you trying fo flash an old version of the recovery? Use the latest for your Magic (I'm guessing it's a 32A, since you're using the H recovery image), but be sure to verify the md5 checksum before.

A nice thing I did to quickly get my RA image back was save it to my SD, rename it to "recovery-backup", open up flashrec, and click "restore backup". That will flash your Amun RI, because the flashrec recognizes it as teh backup image because that what it saves the original image as.

I'm trying to understand if the errors I get are due to the fact that I re-flash the same recovery or to some other problems...

Means you dont have an engineering SPL.
P.S i suggest you use ROM manager from the market, it can flash a nice Clockwork recovery or amon_ra 1.6.2

Which MAgic do you have? a new 32a with 3.5mm headphone jack?
Also your erros just mean
1. Your flashing an older recovery then you have (or same)
2. your SPL is not "unlocked"
If you have a new mytouch 1.2 or fender you must use 1.6.2H
Also, you can do all this in terminal or buy putting the recovery ont he sd card and using adb shell.
But get a new recovery, your main problem is your using the one with taht exact known problem which is why it was updated.

Thank you all for the responses!
@ eyegor: if I understand, it is not possible to flash the same recovery (eg 1.5.2 on 1.5.2), am I right?
I don't need an engineering SPL in order to flash new roms, right?
@ crypysmoker: I have a standard 32A magic (no 3.5mm jack)

It is but not from terminal.
No, you do not.

I did the update to 1.6.2, now it's all ok! no errors updating, no errors wiping...
Thank you all for the support!

Signature error for ADP1

I am now on JF1.3 on my ADP1. I tried to flash this 'leaked' image:-
http://andblogs.net/2009/01/new-adp1-images-leaked/
I renamed the file as update.zip and reboot with Power+Home. Then did the ALT+W and ALT+S.
The Flashing failed because of errors in Signature(5 files). I tried the following to remedy:-
1) Reformatted the card
2) Renamed the Update.zip to 'Update'
Even after these I am keeping on getting the Signature errors. Please help solve this issue. Thanks.
* I tried to install Cupcake and it works. Though returned to jf1.3 because of the radio issues.

You have to use fastboot as this is not an update.zip.
You can either flash each img or you can try out the full system update...
Code:
fastboot update update.zip
I have *not* tried this approach yet but it is documented so I assume it works?
Also, you will notice that there is no misc partition; you can ignore that error and flash the rest (skip splash1/splash2 if you already have custom splash screens).
Added nice-ities:
-The ability to skip signing-in to your google account
-System updater
-...it's new?
Thank you !. Fastboot worked.

Getting Roms Working With Rogers Magic?

So thanks to the hard work of the techies here, it has finally been shown that Rogers likes screwing with what works. With the memory offsets and tweaked radio, it seems that very few of the current roms work with the Rogers Magic. This got me wondering if there was a way to make the current roms work with the Rogers Magic, maybe through patching the boot.img or something along those lines? Maybe a tutorial on how to do this, or some kinda patch tool?
I believe that Amon_RA has already done this for nk02's ION rom (which works beautifully btw), but this taste of freedom has left me craving more!
Can you give me a link to that ROM?
Sure. It was a bit buried in the thread:
Amon_RA said:
I quickly repacked "R4 full" with the HTC offsets and replaced the kernel just to prove that it CAN work on HTC branded Magic's like the Nordic Magic and even the ROGERS one!
This is just to show that it works on HTC branded Magic's, some kernel added features might not work, up to Nk02 to fix his ROM and make it available for ALL HTC Magic devices
How to proceed :
1. Download this repacked version of the R4 full, rename it to update.zip, and copy it to your SD-card.
2. Download RAv1.0H rooted recovery here.
3. Boot the device in fastboot mode.
4. Connect the device to your machine over USB.
5. $fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.0H.img
wait a few minutes and unplug your device from USB
6. Choose option "Wipe data/factory reset" from the menu
wait for the datawipe to complete
7. Choose option "Apply sdcard:update.zip" from the menu
8. Choose option "Reboot system" from the menu
Enjoy.

Also, to get wifi working:
Amon_RA said:
If you want to get wlan working on the HTC branded repack :
1. Download this wlan.ko.
2. adb remount
3. adb push wlan.ko /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko

Hmmm, every time I try to run sudo adb remount I get error: device not found. Any ideas? I'm running Ubuntu Jaunty.
Amon_RA also mentioned what we should prepare and read up on, which I did. Linux + SDK. Extracted and unpacked the images, even the boot images. Opened two boot images up to compare and found different offsets. But I'm lost until they drop us some more hints....

Thank's to Amon_Ra I can use nk02's ION Multi5 ROM. Unfortunately HSDPA does not work for me when using that ROM.

Only rogers ROMs show H when its on HSDPA. all other still have HSDPA but continues to show 3G.

You can get any custom ROM working on your Rogers Magic and basically on every HTC branded Magic around. If you like to "port" a custom Google-branded ROM to a HTC-branded ROM follow these steps :
- I assume that you have basic Linux knowledge and that you know how to set up your own environment and tools, unpack gz files and cpio them etc...
- Download these tools. They contain the JesusFreke's SignApp, William Enck's splitboot using my recompiled mkbootimg-H binary (including the HTC branded offsets), and a repack pearl script.
Now the actually work :
1. Get the boot.img and recovery.img from your original HTC branded Magic (fastboot my recovery image and use nandroid for this).
2. unpack the boot.img and recovery.img using unpack-H.pl.
3. move both kernels somewhere save, you'll need them later.
4. Download the google branded custom ROM you want to port, most of the custom ROMs come in the form of a update.zip file.
5. Extract the boot.img and recovery.img (if there is one) from the update.zip.
6. unpack the boot.img and recovery.img (same as step 2).
7. replace both kernels with the ones you saved previously in step 3.
8. repack boot boot.img and recovery.img using repack-H.pl
9. copy both boot.img and recovery.img in the update.zip package making sure you overwrite the existing ones inside with the new ones.
10. Sign the update.zip file with SignApp (see readme inside rar).
11. Copy the update.zip file to your SDcard.
12. fastboot my recovery image and choose data wipe and then update.
13. reboot
Good luck
Thanks so much for the step by step.
Question for you : If i port the SuperHero v2 which has working wifi to a "Rogers version" following your instructions, will the wifi work or will it not (since it doesnt on Killadude's rogers port of the Superhero 2) ?
My point is - does something need to be done that he didnt do or forgot to do or will it just not work ?
Thanks alot Amon_Ra..
Redbull is comming your way.. Just what I needed..
Now the experimenting starts, lets see If I can cook something nice..
Thanks again, you live up to you name..
Awesome! Setting up Ubuntu as we speak.
Okay I repacked the nk02 f4 LITE version as instructed..... now to flash it to my own Magic.... the moment of truth...... LOL
So so ? Keep us updated lol !

Did the data wipe.
The device doesn't come online long enough for adb to see it... DDMS fails to see the device while the device is in the booting loop, and logcat simply says "waiting for device".

I have the same problem, it doesn't matter if you do a wipe or not.
OK I flashed my original boot.img back in. Now the device is stuck on the original "HTC Magic" logo, but at least DDMS picked it up and here are the errors:
Code:

EDIT:
I restored everything, and the following lines exist in the error log (so we can ignore them, I think)
Code:
ERROR/RIL Acoustic(32): can't open /dev/htc-acoustic -1
ERROR/HTC Acoustic(34): Fail to open /system/etc/AudioPara_Rogers.csv -1.
ERROR/A2DP(34): bt_audio_service_open failed
ERROR/A2dpAudioInterface(34): a2dp_init failed err: -111
So really the only errors are:
Code:
ERROR/flash_image(37): error opening /system/recovery.img: No such file or directory
ERROR/AndroidRuntime(33): JNI_CreateJavaVM failed
But note that I had to flash the original boot.img back to get these, else DDMS doesn't even pick up the device

I think you need to extract that ramdisk.gz, mount the file within, and copy the contents to another directory, which becomes the "path of ramdisk".
(Or, whatever method you like to extract those files... )

[Recovery] [09-Feb-2011] RA-supersonic-v2.3

[ Description ]
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.
[ Features ]
Detailed description of every menu item
[ Known Issues ]
v2.3.3 has some screen tearing/color weirdness going on. This is just a graphical bug in the recovery kernel, nothing to worry about. I'll try to fix it in a next version.
[ Download ] - ALWAYS check the md5sum to make sure the file isn't corrupted!
recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img - MD5Sum: c00243750cc79e4a1dd4888db175b19f
PC36IMG.zip - MD5SUM: 6dbb98f9cfa35033982c3803d2520466
Mirror to all my recoveries (Click a few adds to keep it up and running - Thanks DrMacinyasha ^^)
[ Install ] - There are several ways to install a custom recovery, feel free to pick the one that suits you best :
- the Bootloader way - - Thanks Tiffany84 ^^
Place PC36IMG.zip on the root of your sd card.
Boot the phone into the bootloader by powering the phone down, then press the power and the volume down buttons at the same time.
Once the phone boots into the bootloader the phone will automatically recognize the zip file. It will ask if you would like to update, select yes and let it do it's thing and you will be good to go
- via Rom Manager - - STILL NEEDS TO UPDATED TO v2.3!!
Download "Rom Manager" from the Android market
Start "Rom Manager"
Select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and wait for it to finish
Select "Flash Alternate Recovery" and wait for it to finish -> this will install the latest version of RA recovery.
- via terminal app or adb - (Make sure your rom contains flash_image!!)
Copy recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app or launch adb
su(press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)
[ Important notes ]
Don't restore wimax nandroids between different phones! If you still plan to do it make sure to remove the wimax image from the nandroid backup before restoring!!
I'll only answer to posts with a real problem description and a pastebin log. All other "issues" will be skipped/ignored.
Make sure have enough free space available on your sdcard when making a nandroid backup!!
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.

Change-log
v2.3
Nandroid will skip sd-ext backup when it's not present.
Nandroid will not check the battery percentage anymore.
Switched off signature check by default (Stop asking now, ok?).
Cache is not selected as part of a default Nandroid backup anymore.
Added wipe Boot, System and sdcard to the wipe menu.
Re-ordered some items in the wipe menu.
Switched to a CM android-msm-2.6.35-unified kernel (should stop the endless dots).
v2.2.1
Fixed Nandroid ext backup/restore. It now backups/restore the entire ext.
v2.2
Nandroid backup is now selective, boot/system/cache/data are selected by default.
Nandroid checks if there's at least 500MB free on SDcard before starting a backup.
Kernel min freq is set to max freq to speed up things (tip of toastcfh).
Added/updated error/warning messages.
v2.1.1
Updated kernel to 2.6.32.17 , this should fix the partition issues on newer hboots
Nandroid now backups the entire content of /sd-ext , not just the apps. This fixes bootloops of certain restored roms.
Moved the "Toggle signature verification"-option from the Other- to the main flash-submenu.
Re-ordered the wipe menu.
Added SDEXT support for update scripts.
Added "filebrowser" support when you select a zip to flash.
Added "/.." support to the filebrowser so you can navigate up.
Added a mount menu so you can manually (u)mount stuff.
Added a toggle verification switch so you can flash those awesome unsigned winrar rom releases...
Fully re-wrote the wipe menu (it's not using a script anymore), added a few new wipe options.
Added "/sdcard/.android_secure" support , nandroid now backups/restores .android_secure (Froyo a2sd apps) by default.
Added a few new Google apps to the Google app backup script.
v1.8.0
updated Nandroid so it also backups and restores the wimax partition.
made the recovery 400kb smaller so it fits most recovery partitions with bad blocks.
added a return option (instead of pressing vol-up+down) to the menu (by jhansche).
completely ignore verification (by jhansche).
added menu loop (by joncfoo).
v1.7.0.2
Reduced the overall size so it can still be flashed when having lots of bad blocks.
v1.7.0.1
Initial release (port from my Nexus One recovery)
awesome I was waiting for this i was tired of having to go home to change roms!
Nice, i'm going to try this out right now and report back if there are any problems.
It works nicely. I don't like having to press both volume-keys to go back to the previous menu, but it's not a deal breaker. Good job Amon_RA. =]
trying to flash the image its telling me not found when i tried every which way to flash it any ideas? Ugh sorry maybe i need to read...a little more next time sorry!

How are you flashing it? the fastboot method worked fine for me
Edit:
1) Get fastboot.exe here
2) Place recovery-RA-evo-v1.7.0.1.img in the same dir as fastboot
3) boot your phone into fastboot (Volume Dwn+ Power) Select fast boot
Then follow
fastboot devices(press enter) (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your phone)
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-evo-v1.7.0.1.img(press enter)

I got the error with both names. I renamed the file to see if I was making mistakes with the file name since it was so long.
Hey, Ra, you do realize we ARE going to need Care Bears on our Evo recoveries just like you spoiled us with on our MT3G's... I'm just saying!
I've tried downloading the file a couple of times to make sure it wasn't corrupted but I keep getting "sending 'recovery' (5032 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: image update error)"
Also thanks for the new recovery, was hoping you'd release one for our Evo's
And I know I have flash_image because I did Toasts Nand Unlock yesterday. And I checked and the file is on the root of the SD Card.

once you restore a rom that didn't have it, it's no longer on the phone where it should be. if you put it back in /data and chmod 755 it you should have no problem.

thanks for this great recovery! im excited to try it!
two quick questions:
does the fix apk uid mismatches uses the common fix_permissions.sh script?
do you have a github or location where the source code is viewable?
thanks again!

How are you flashing? Fastboot, flash_image? Are you sure you mounted /sdcard? Do an "ls /sdcard/recovery*" to make sure the sdcard is mounted and that the recovery image can be found.

Erm, I'm using the same fix_permissions.sh script as in my other recoveries, check github :
Scripts : http://github.com/packetlss/amonra_recovery_scripts

Still need to push the evo recovery.

Yes, I'm able to flash toasts recovery.img through fastboot no problem.
How do I check if I loaded the recovery correct? I get a Build : Not Set when I entered the recovery on the lower end where its suppose to say the build number.
You should work together with Koush and make one great recovery. He has some features such as the ability to flash a zip from ANYWHERE on the SD Card. The two of you should be able to work some miracles.

Thank's to AlphaRev [site] [xda]
Low storage for apps?
Flash the AlphaRev HBOOT Bravo N1Table (Require S-OFF)
Follow this instrunction for update without data lost (aka no data wipe)
Still low storage for apps?
Install an A2SD solution: Firerat or Darktremor
i recommend the Firerat solution: CM specific, less space usage 25kb vs 6mb, bind mount, no boot loop, auto restore after cm rom update (from 1.35b)

Just kidding. But I thought a reference to the old thread could be useful.
yuo should add a link to alpharevs s-off and modified partition table

the developt is in 6.1 cyanomod nightly updated right?
Latest nigthlies have been rock solid for me. My only complaint is the annoying credential storage password, which I must enter every time I reboot the phone if I want to connect to 802.1x wifi networks. Other than that, 16x have been flawless.
*cheers kali on*
Finally an up to date thread. Reading your post I learned something. I didn't know firerat a2sd now works with cyanogen.
Anyone got experience migrating from dta2sd to firerat?

Yes! Absolutely no problem... (but if you already have recovery, then there is no need to flash a new one)
Am I the only one having problem with build163? The zip won't install from my recovery, just stating it's 'bad'. I already redownloaded it. It unzip's fine on my linux box. I even rezipped it but my recovery keeps refusing to start the install process.
I'm a bit stumped here.

It's disabled by default. It just says it can't read the .zip file. If I _enable_ verification it says it can't read the footer from the .zip. If I disable verification again it just says "can't open /sdcard/cm_bravo_full-163.zip (bad)".
I also have the same with build 162. I flashed pretty much every cm-nightly in the last few months and now all of a sudden this? What am I doing wrong .
I just installed the miui-desire.zip file again that was on my sdcard and it installed without a hitch. This is getting annoying .
EDIT: Solved it. Apparently there is a bug in my recovery. If I use the recovery the mount my sdcard over USB, afterwards /sdcard can get unmounted. So it couldn't find the .zip file I was choosing because /sdcard was not mounted. Why it was still possible to list the contents on the sdcard is a mystery to me. That must mean the recovery mounts /sdcard, lists the contents and then unmounts it again, and _then_ tries to start the update?!?
Anyway, going into the 'mounts and storage' menu and choosing 'mount /sdcard' suddenly made sure things worked again.
Really stumped how this happened.

What recovery image are you using? If you have amonRA you might try to fix this launching clockworkmod via fake flash and using that one to install the update. Otherwise if you already have clockwork you might try flashing amonRA via hboot and use that one...at times i can't perform something with one of the two recoveries, and using the other one often solves every issue for me

My Phone just rebooted and now loops at the android loading logo CM13

Hello I have the latest version of this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-cm-12-builds-t3045053
and it was working great! I had no problems and then one day while playing an audio file (smart voice recorder), my phone froze for lke 30 seconds and then just rebooted by itself and started looping the android logo. Worried I booted into TWRP (3.0.2-0) and found out that in the logs I get these messages:
Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer.
Failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
Failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)
Unable to mount storage
What the hell, does this happen to anyone? Using their phone all ok and then bam reboot and now my internal storage is gone! Was it because I was using a 25 watt apple charger because I was recording video at the time and needed the juice. Oh man I really need those videos they mean everything to me!
system shows a size but very small like 1.3 gigs or something
data shows 0 mb for all stats
cache shows 0 mb for all stats
Internal Storage shows "invalid partition selection"
I have no idea what happened, I have such important data on this phone! How can I recover this? Please!!! I tried using the repairing data option and i got this error message
/sbin/efsck -fp /dev/block/mmcblk0p28 process ended with ERROR: 4
Unable to repair data
Will offer a bounty if someone can help me recover my data! I am knocking my own ass for not having a backup ugh
I will offer a bounty if someone with experience can help me through this. The memories of my mother's passing means a lot to me and I would hate to lose it because some stupid app crashed on me and the phone rebooted.

In twrp if you go to advance then file manager click on sdcard can you see your files?
If not did you try to mount in twrp?
If so then you can pull the whole sdcard or select files via adb.

for question #1 yes I do see my files. But certain folders like DCIM (pictures) or other apps such as whatapp is not showing.
when i try to mount in TWRP only firmware and system is checkable.... data/cache/usb-otg is not selectable (meaning check marks won't show up if I try to click it)
when I hit "select storage" i see the select storage options and both options (internal storage and usb-otg) says 0 MB
for your last suggestion im going to try it and see if I can access my files
Thank you for your help! Let me know how else I can continue the diagnostic and I will keep my word

Yeah I would try pulling the whole sdcard to your computer via adb and see if it pulls the files you want.
If that doesn't work all I got is you can dirty flash that same ROM you had installed before. When you dirty flash you don't wipe data or anything since its the same ROM you had before. Its the same thing you do when you update to a new version of that developers ROM and you don't loose your data.
Just curious did you change over to f2fs the developer recommended it for installing his ROM, not sure if that's what caused the initial problem if you did not change to f2fs.

interesting i will try the adb method and see if that i can pull the files despite not seeing everything in the file manager
unfortunately i have never changed to the f2fs file system due to me being a noob at the time. But i never had a problem with his early builds and dirty flashing all the way to September. Ironically every time I dirty flashed i did a nandroid backup on the phone. lol... i can't even access that file right now because i don't see it in the file manager as the data cannot be accessed at the moment.

Just to interject, not being on f2fs is wise, I don't believe it to be as stable, and is not very useful..
I'd like to also recommend using TWRP 2.8.6 (there's a link in my signature).. I've read more recovery related issues since it was updated..
Good luck
I know you said you are new if your having issues figuring out how to pull files via adb there is a all in one toolkit that has a pull/push file fearure. http://www.wugfresh.com/brt/
It will be under advance utilities.
should i downgrade to twrp 2.8.6 before proceeding to try the adb dirty flash upgrade?
Durso81 you are so awesome! Gonna try this tonight (PRAYING) and Setting.Out thank you!

Looks like your firmware isn't correct, finish switching to 2.8.6 before fixing this.. As per recovery, flash the image in TWRP.. Select 'instal' and there's an option for 'IMG' select it and find the recovery image and then select the option for recovery, swipe to flash and upon success reboot the recovery.. Now update the firmware as per the ROM's OP and the ROM will flash..

what i would do is unzip the twrp and the default file name is recovery.img so I would unzip it to my SDK android folder that contains the adb.exe
so I tried flashing in TWRP again but this time selecting the zip file instead of the img file and I got the same error and it after rebooting it still boots into TWRP 3.0.2.0

You'd know, it requires many steps to encrypt, so I'll guess no.. Have you ever been able to flash anything through that recovery?
I'd copy your SD to your computer and return to stock, then try again with customs from there...
