[ROM] HTC Magic Vodafone Spain Official Froyo 2.2.1 update aim3 [2011-05-09]

Updated 2011-05-09 (New version aim3)
So now that Vodafone Spain finally released a Froyo OTA upgrade for HTC Magic, I've built a cooked ROM from the official OTA upgrade. The ROM tries to ressemble the stock ROM, but including the following extras:
Version aim1:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh is removed, so it won't overwrite your recovery on every boot, as the stock ROM does
This ROM is rooted. Superuser.apk is installed on system.
Included apns-conf.xml from Cyanogen, so APNs from all operators are available, not just from Vodafone.
Google applications updated to the latest release: Maps, StreetView, Gmail, Market and Youtube
Replaced keyboard with Gingerbread (Android 2.3) newer keyboard.
Removed the Vodafone Live application and shortcut
Version aim2:
Removed Gingerbread keyboard, better install as separate package if you want it (see link)
Updated Google Maps and Market to latest versions.
Include busybox, it's needed for some root applications
Deodexed (takes some time on first boot, saves space on /system)
Re-signed (needed to include STK)
Included STK (Sim-Toolkit) application ("Servicios SIM" in Spanish). Required for some virtual operatos to work in Roaming
Added Sound Recorder icon in Launcher (application was there, but only accessible from MMS when adding a sound)
Added support for scripts in /system/etc/init.d (useful for adding compcache, swap, etc).
Version aim3:
Removed the "assert shappire" line on installation script. Should allow installation on Dream/G1
Revert some re-signed packages to allow Google applications updated via Market
Load ipv6 module to have Google Goggles working
Replace stock kernel with a custom kernel for better performance and memory tweaks
Enable compcache (compressed in-RAM swap memory) on boot by default, to get some extra free MB on magic 32B, which makes the system much more usable (applications and launcher are not killed all the time). Tweaks can be customized using setprop (see later)
Overclock CPU on boot. Can be tweaked using setprop (see later)
Include support for Live Wallpapers
Please note that this ROM is only for HTC Magic 32B (not for 32A or Dream). You'll need to use the System-Only ROM and a different kernel and/or SPL for 32A or for HTC Dream.
This latest update (version aim3) includes:
Android 2.2.1 (FRG83D)
SPL (HBOOT) version 1.33.0013
Radio 2.22.28.25
Kernel 2.6.35.13 from Farmatito (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010932)
About the SPL and Radio: This is a perfect SPL, so it won't allow you to flash unsigned images from fastboot. Please make sure you have a custom recovery image. The new 2.22.28 radio won't work with other older SPLs, but it's worth the additional RAM (15MB). Also, if you want to install another kernel, it must be compatible with this radio version.
Requeriments and pre-installation
You'll need a custom recovery that allows you to flash the update.zip file. Clockworkmod recovery or AmonRA should do the job.
Make sure you have a good battery level, and make a full backup before installing.
Disclaimer: I won't take any responsibility if this bricks or damages your device.
Upgrading
Due to resigning, you can't update from previous version. A full wipe is required, sorry. However, if you backup your data and apps with Titanium Backup, and then restore them, it should work if coming from a previous version of this ROM, or if coming from the stock versions. There are no guarantees if coming from other non-official ROMs
Installation (Two-step)
This is the way the official OTA is done. First, the HBOOT (SPL) is updated to 1.33.0013. Then, the system, kernel and radio are updated. If you want to make the installation this way:
1. SPL Update. First download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3658919/android/vf_magic_froyo_aim1/vf_magic_frg83d_hboot_0013.zip (Mirror: http://content.wuala.com/contents/airadier/Android/vf_magic_frg83d_hboot_0013.zip?dl=1) and apply update from recovery (copy to the SD Card, then choose Apply .zip from SDCard, and choose the zip file). It will reboot a few times during the upgrade. Finally it should boot the system with the previous version, but the SPL will be upgraded.
2. System+Radio+Kernel update. Download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3658919/android/vf_magic_froyo_aim3/vf_magic_frg83d_aim3_nohboot_s.zip (Mirror: http://content.wuala.com/contents/airadier/Android/vf_magic_frg83d_aim3_nohboot_s.zip?dl=1) and from recovery wipe Data and Cache. Apply update from recovery, the same way. It should reboot a few times and finally boot the system, updated to Froyo.
Installation (System-only installation)
If you already have SPL 1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d, and radio 2.22.27.08 or 2.22.28.25, and want to install only the system files, then download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3658919/and...m3/vf_magic_frg83d_aim3_noradio_nohboot_s.zip (Mirror: http://content.wuala.com/contents/airadier/Android/vf_magic_frg83d_aim3_noradio_nohboot_s.zip?dl=1), and apply update from Recovery.
If you have an 32A, you should be able to use the System-only installation, and when finished, flash an appropiate kernel (the included kernel is for Magic 32B).
Tweak configuration
Latest version includes some performance tweaks which are applied on boot. There's no GUI for changing these settings, but they can be easily changed using a command line (for example adb shell).
First, get a root shell (adb shell, then su). Then you can use the command:
getprop propertyname
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to get the current value of a setting, and the command:
setprop propertyname newvalue
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to set a new value. The available setting parameters (Replace propertyname are:
persist.tweaks.ramzenabled: Enabled (if 1) or disabled (if 0) the compressed RAM swap. If not set, it defaults to 1 (enabled).
persist.tweaks.ramzsize: The size of the compressed in RAM swap memory, in KB. If not set, it defaults to 32768 (32MB). Don't try anything higher than the amount of memory in your system. I wouldn't recommend more than 65536 (64M).
persist.tweaks.swappiness: The swappiness parameter. A avlue between 0 and 100, defaults to 10. Tells the system how agressively try to move memory pages to the swap. I keep it to a low value, so pages are not swapped until more free RAM is needed.
persist.tweaks.cpuminfreq: The minimum CPU frequency. If not set, it defaults to 245760 (245Mhz). See the list of available frequencies with command:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
persist.tweaks.cpumaxfreq: The maximumCPU frequency. If not set, it defaults to 595200 (595Mhz). That's a bit overclocking, but I find it perfectly stable. With higher frequencies (614Mhz) I get random reboots.
persist.tweaks.cpugovernor: The CPU frequency governor. Defaults to interactive, but you can try ondemand too.
Any change will require rebooting the system. If you get stuck with a change (phone can't boot), try using adb shell from recovery, mount /data partition, and remove the offending setting file from /data/property/persist.tweaks.xxxx
Add-ons
Gingerbread keyboard is not included anymore. You can install Gingerbread keyboard along with the Froyo keyboard. See this post.
Alternative kernels: For 32A or HTC/Dream you can try with other non-stock kernels. I would recommend trying Farmatito Kernel or the latest Magic 32B kernel from ezterry, search in Doid Basement. Here is the direct link to the latest ezterry version for Magic 32B/32A

So after many attempts of trying to get my phone back to "factory" for OTA updates, I gave up very very late in the night and decided I'd just try this new ROM. I know I'm crazy since no one else has written of their attempts to try it - meaning I'm probably the first - and I'm a little worried at what I'm seeing. I followed your instructions for the 2-step version using Clockworkmod recovery and my right now my phone is stuck in the black loading screen that says "ANDROID". Its been on this screen for over half an hour. I'm pretty sure it shouldn't take that long so I thought I'd go ahead and ask for tips now so I can work in it tomorrow. My T-Mobile myTouch 3G original (HTC Magic 32 B) phone was on CM6 (Froyo 2.2) before I revered it to factory 1.6 because of frustrations with Cyanogen's slow mod. T-Mobile's OTA updates weren't working because of recovery image issues so I figured I'd give you version a go. Yes, I realize this is the Vodafone version. Hablo español.
So should I try to reset my phone? Take the battery out? Am I bricked?

I don't think it's bricked, it just seems to be failing to boot the system. A logcat (adb logcat command) would help to diagnose the problem.
You should be able to boot to recovery. Did you wipe data and cache partitions?
Did the previous version boot after flashing first step? You can check the SPL on this step was correctly flashed by entering fastboot (vol down + power) and checking if Hboot version is 1.33.0013
I've tried the 2 step version successfuly in 2 htc magic by now.
Let me know about any progress.

I can't download any chance. Can you post them in another way?

I can't download from phone neither.

I finally download it from computer, but I can't flash it. I've got this error:
Code:
E:Failure at line 6: assert getprop("ro.product.device") == "sapphire" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "saphire"

It works!
It works! Here's how...
It had been 6 hours and it was still stuck on the loading screen, so I pulled the battery.
I wipped my data and cache partitions again using the bootloading, although I'm pretty sure I had already done this. I must have needed to do it again.
The logcat seemed to have tons of errors, more than I could list here. A small copy-paste:

Anyway, after restarting twice the phone loaded! Froyo who-hoo! And I love the Gingerbread keyboard addition! This ROM is elegant - almost official OTA with just a touch of fixes. Cyangen's ROMs are over the top for me.
The only thing we've noticed after 30 minutes of testing is that it suggests Gmail be installed in the market, even though its already installed. Obviously this is because we have the newer version of gmail. But does this mean we will no longer get updates for Google applications? This concerns me - I don't want to have to rehack my phone every month - especially since I'm giving this to my brother.
Thanks for the great work and cool simple ROM.

Strange. I'm quite sure a Data + Cache wipe is needed except if you're coming from stock 1.6. The errors in the logcat seem to confirm this.

I think you should get the updates anyways. The only difference is, instead of having Maps 4.6 in SYSTEM partition, you have 5.0. The day Maps 5.x is out, it should show an update is available. I think showing it in the market as "Installed" is the normal behavior since the google apps were extracted in Froyo, or Eclair, I can't remember
I might be adding some optional packages (as updates.zip) soon. For example, I'm thinking of adding a patched version of Google Maps to force using Vector and 3D graphics instead of bitmap tiles. Also, maybe an update to revert to the standard Froyo keyboard.
I hope you enjoy it.

The update script is checking that the installed ROM device or product is "sapphire", and it's failing. Maybe the ROM you're using right now uses another device identifier?
I could remove the check, but it was included in the original updater, and I think it's safer this way. You could try flashing cyanogenmod or the stock vodafone 1.6 first, then updating.

How are you booting recovery? Are you using "adb reboot recovery" command? If so, it looks like the perfect SPL won't allow you to run that command.
You must enter recovery by powering the phone off, and then pressing Home + Power On button. Keep pressing them until you're on recovery.
Greets.

i tried fastboot boot recovery. I tried home + power on several times but all i get is exclamation mark screen, with some kind of recovery where i can update from sd:update.zip and this also fails: verification fails

Ok, don't panic, the fix is easy. The exclamation mark screen is the stock recovery, that allows you to flash only HTC signed update.zip file. As this update is not signed by HTC, it throws the "verification fails" error.
So, how to fix it? You need to flash a custom recovery (ClockworkMod or AmonRA, for example), because the SPL won't allow you to boot the recovery from fastboot.
You need to have your current ROM rooted, if it's not already. If not rooted, check SuperOneClick Root in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Once rooted, you can flash the recovery using flash_image command from an adb shell, or easier, install RomManager from the market and install recovery from there.
Just make sure the recovery is for Magic 32B or Dream. I think last time I used ROM Manager I choose "HTC Magic", and a recovery for Magic 32A was installed, so the recovery wouldn't boot. I discovered I had to choose "HTC Dream" instead, as the recovery for Dream works for HTC Magic 32B too.
Once installed, using the "Home + PowerOn" you should boot into the new recovery (clockwork or AmonRA), and it should allow you to flash the update. If you get "verification failed" error, check that "signature verification" is toggled off (there's an option in the recovery to enable/disable it).
I hope it hellps. Greets.

Radio Installation didnt work
i just tried this rom because CM6.1 is still to slow for me somehow.
it stopped after unpacking radio pack and tried to installe it..aborted installation.
All wiped and partitioned before.
Sry, would really like to give it a try.
Have German 32b Vodafone.
Cheers..

Hi!
I have some questions:
1. are there any differences between the Spanish 2.2.1 OTA ROM and the 2.2.1 UK ROM? What are the languages supported?
2. I come from spl 1.33.0013d and radio 2.22.27.08: what are the drawbacks of installing a perfect spl such as the 1.33.0013?
Thank you!

1. I don't know, as I haven't checked the UK ROM, but probably they are both the same. In the spanish vodafone update there's support for english too.
2. SPL 1.33.0013d should work too. It's a modified version of 0013 to allow some additional operations. No need to install 0013. Radio 2.22.27.08 works too, but latest version, the one shipped with the vodafone update, is 2.22.28.25.
Greets.

For those who don't want to upgrade to a perfected spl (Want to stick to engineering spl) and are willing to accept the lower ram count I added ezterry's biffmod kernel/wifi module (oh and also added News and Weather app).
You can download it @ http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7812800/Android/vf_magic_frg83d_eng-signed.zip
Also if you want to use it without sim flash this after the main zip.. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7812800/Android/Froyo_Provision.zip
Hope this helps anyone.
Btw.. Tested on Google Ion (Yes i got one lol)

[Q] Can't Flash any rom on my Sensation XE

My mate has a HTC Sensation XE and he gave it to some other guy to root his phone and what not, and he put CM9 on it for him, however he wants to put something like CoreDroid or ARHD with Sense 3.6 etc... and whatnot but everytime he tries to flash a rom it says Status 1 Installation Aborted, and also we can't mount the SD in Recovery, So I decided to use my SD and try and flash the zip from my SD card in his Phone, and I got the same thing, Status 1 Installation Aborted, I've done super wipe and everything.
Same results, What can I do?
Thanks

Flash the stock RUU and then try again

This could be due to:
1. Corrupt download file
2. Incompatible ROM for the phone
3. Other issues
For #1, check the MD5 sum, whether MD5 sum of downloaded file matches the one mentioned alongside the download
For #2, which exact ROM are you trying to install & what is the CID of your phone
Let's take #3 later.
Also, did you try a full wipe/superwipe script & then tried the same?

and yes I've checked the MD5, they match perfectly.
and i've flashed the PD58 thing that allows my phone to install 3.32 +

Am having the same installer issues...

I restored a backup and phone is good but what do i need to do to get flashing custom ROM's again?

May I know which Recovery are you using for ARHD the ROM work for CWM and EXT4 Recovery. Because the error may come from the Recovery or ROM it. Then we can be specific about the error.
[XdividerX]
I hope your are using 4EXT Recovery because AROMA Installer/DarkForest Sensation need 4EXT Recovery to run/install.

Try removing signature verification in the advanced menu of CWM. I doubt it will help, but certainly possible

I think its fixed now..

I removed signature verifications and then got E:Can't open cache/recovery/log error whenever i booted up recovery.
Did some research and ended up downgrading CWM to v5.0.1.0.
I then tried the DarkForest Sense 4 patch wich installed with no errors!!
There must be a bug in CWM touch that creates issues when flashing.
Im going to try and flash OrDroid now and see if the error is completley gone.
Thanks for the help guys..

Everything works for me from the same rom that you mention. Below are the steps that I take..
From DF 6.1, I made a backup and fullwipe before I tried DF sense 4 beta 2.
Restored my backup back to 3.6, downloaded Oddroid 1.8.5, fullwipe and flashed.
im back to DF 6.1 for now , waiting for a haptic feedback feeling like on the 3.6 rom.

Thanks. I just flashed OrDroid 1.8.7 with no problems. I still believe there is a conflict with CWM touch. I tried going back to touch version and had install error again. I went back to older version of CWM and had no errors.

I restored a backup and phone is good but what do i need to do to get flashing custom ROM's again?

Interesting... Now that's not a ROM problem because my phone is XE and I can flash them, maybe try a different recovery version? (4EXT Recovery Touch is best IMO)

Try using 4ext recovery.

I Have had similar issues when im flashing ARHD (that too my first rom )
the problem is with CWM Touch
I had same issue status 1 aborted (in general status 1 error is read error ->looks like some issue with CWM)
Then I've flashed 4Ext touch and is now working like charm

Yeah seems like everyone else got it fixed by flashing 4Ext.
Case closed I guess.

Rocks, that really did the trick.
It's now installed.
Btw is that normal that after install on "Senstaion" boot screen the only way to get through is to go into "safe mode" for the first boot?
Left previously the phone for 1 hour and only "htc sensation" bootscreen was displayed (when I was on CoinDroid). Then I pushed my phone into safemode and since boots normally.

That's all what I see at the bootloader.

Found it, for me that's OrDroid 6.0.0...

What radio/firmware works best with this ROM?
I currently have the tmo 11.69A.3504.00u_11.23.3504.07_m2.

The firmware must be the 3.32 which is hboot 1.27.1100 and the radio depens on different areas... You choose the best in less words

how do i install that without unlocked fastboot? (but with s-off)

You could dd it from adb/terminal, or when Newsroom isn't on I could throw it into a flashable zip.
But really, if you're S-OFF, get an ENG HBOOT

could you refer me to an engineer fastboot?

http://unlimited.io
JPBear HBOOT, includes installation instructions.

Meh, I don't need it as long as I have s-off

my sensation has no factory warranty,so i just re-unlocked it
dont do it if you care about your locked status. i just got tired of re-installing eng hboots everytime i ran an ruu
thanx for this recovery
will it restore older cwm backups?

Don't see why not, but I suspect the incremental backups this is capable of won't work on v5, but I've not checked.

CleanROM install not working

Hi have HTC One XL with S-OFF and bootloader unlocked. I have TWRP 2.5 on it. Its on the latest hboot as well. I have been using ViperXL for some time now. Today I decided to flash CleanROM just to test it out.
So i followed the instructions and flash boot.img in fastboot and then went in recovery, wipe data and factory reset and then flashed the zip file. The Installation finished in a second and told me to reboot the device. When the menu took me back to twrp for reboot, it gave me 'No OS installed' message. When I got into the install log I found the below line in it:
error: file_write: write: I/O error Installer Error (Status 1)
It seems something is not wrong and not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So, I would download twrp 2.3.3.1 and check the md5
then fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Thanks!
I flashed twrp 2.3.3.1 . Now in twrp when I am wiping delvick cache, its telling me unable to mount cache. What needs to be done to clear that?
