Hey XDA
Im having a little problem with my Magic.
I would like to flash a new ROM, but i cant get into the recovery menu.
Here is what i do:
I have installed the latest version of SDK on my computer.
I then connect my Magic with the cable, and when Vista comes up with the note saying that want to install the software i tell it to use the drivers that are in the SDK/usb_driver/x86 folder.
I then turn off the phone, and press and hold back button + power button until the phone shows the "3 androids on skateboard" menu.
Then on my computer in the cmd prompt i write: fastboot boot recovery.img, and the the cmd prompt says: <waiting for device> and the nothing else happens, the recovery image dosn't show up on the phone either.
I have checked with adb devices that my phone is connected.
Are there anyone that can help me with this problem because its beginning to annoy me alot, i would like to root my phone and flash another ROM.
So any help would be much appreciated.

Just to check, you made sure you have a spl that's rootable?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019
And fallowed this before fastboot.
First, setting up your PC (I'm going to assume you're using windows for this) to work with Android in a debugging enviroment.
1. Get the latest Android SDK from here (http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r2/index.html) and unzip it into a convienent directory (most people use C:\Android\, so I suggest you do the same). The result should be something along the lines of C:\Android\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\.
2. Set up your phone to work with debugging drivers. The method of doing so can be found here (http://developer.android.com/guide/...ing/device.html) in the "Setting up a Device for Development" section, steps 2 and 3. To test that it works properly, open up a command prompt and navigate to the tools directory (C:\Android\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\tools). Type into the prompt:
Code:
adb devices
If it returns your device and serial number, then you're all set.
3. Lastly, grab fastboot.exe from here (http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/adp.html) and place it in the tools directory of the sdk.
Next up, rooting.

Thx for the answer, but there is a problem with one of the links you posted, the last one of them (http://developer.android.com/guide/...ing/device.html). it dosn't work.
But you also write something about the SPL, i dont know if i have the right SPL, how can I see if its the right one i have? I've tried reading the link about the SPL, but my problem is that i cant even get into the recovery menu, so i cant flash a new SPL either, or am i wrong?
Please help me
Per
To check your SPL just boot up fastboot (back + power) then just look at the top and see what it says. Then check on the first link I posted and see if your SPL is rootable or not.
Don't know why the last link didn't post proper Here it is.

Damn, thats a load of ..... (sorry).
I have just got my phone back from the repair shop because the camera restarted the phone everytime i tried to use it. Before i sent it to repair i had no problem rooting it or getting in the recovery menu.
But can you tell what the problem is? is it because the recovery image dosn't work with my SPl and the recovery image guys need to "crack" my SPL first or what?

Here you go read This on the SPL. By the way which phone do you have? Is it a Rogers Magic? Just good to know what's not rootable, you should post your phone details in that thread if it's something not listed on the first page.

since it is a software issue it MUST bee posible too reflash it with a workin rom or something like that but all methods i have tried have failed to help me and i have tried numerous both methods and img's and update.zip's

Go into fastboot mode and tell me which board you have by rebooting and holding down the Back button and pressing the Power/End Call button
PVT32B use this recovery image here
and any of these SPL's found here and any ROM labeled 32B
PVT 32A use this method and recovery image here and any ROM labeled 32A

i have the 32a model, but first of what is this spl thing and is it not nessesary for the 32a model?
and second of if it is could you post a link to that aswel and maybe a guide on how to flash spl's (like can i put both the spl and the rom on the flash drive at the same time and save the whole proces of takin the sd out of the phone to transfere files to it?)
thanks already NoaT
If you need root then you NEED the SPL. All links are provided in my last post. Follow the instructions for the 32A device
Yes you can put both the SPL and ROM on the same card at the same time, make sure you label them differently like update1 for your SPL first and update2 for the ROM. Use choose update option in recovery in the menu list in order to see both

Do you have a Nandroid backup of your original ROM? If so - see here

If not, I'm sure a quick search will show someone has posted a full backup somewhere on here.

Yeah...that's because your phone has the Perfect SPL - it won't allow a fastboot connection. The article I linked to shows you how to change the SPL and enable this. Having said that, have you tried stian230's suggestion concerning connecting via adb to restore a recovery image?
Have a look at Amon_RA's thread for his excellent recovery image. This shows how to push the image to your phone and boot to it -

adb does not recognize my phone (all the drivers are ok, fastboot can see it). all the guides dealing with this said to make sure i have USB debugging enabled, but i can't access my phone to do this.
changing the spl seems to permanently void the warranty (not sure about this)...
K...sorry...this is where my n00bness runs me into a brick wall. The only way I know of to recover in this instance based on what you have said is to go ahead and flash a 'friendlier' SPL. Perhaps someone infinitely cleverer than I knows of another method though?

ADB will find your phone if you try a little while.
I promise
Just take it easy do not stress.
Try the phone off. or try recovery even if you do not get in recovery adb believe that it is the in recovery .
certainly sounds a bit strange but I did it that way
i just can't get adb to recognize my device. i tired on xp and 7, unistalled and reinstalled usb drivers and nothing.
all the guides mention tunring on USB debugging, but i can't get into android to do that. all i have is the damn fastboot. is there any other way to turn on usb debugging?
edit: apparently, adb isn't supposed to work in recovery mode. and since i can't use fastboot, because of my SPL, i'm locked out. any other ideas?
does not sound good. but I had the same problem a week ago. I had flashed a ROM and used the wrong port 32A. phone had a "semibriked" I only had access to fastboot and hboot.
I also have perfect spl. But after many attempts the adb found my phone.
I had an empty sdcard with only recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img on it.
is there any other method to change spl, or make fastboot work? the goldcard thing looks crazy hard...
htc magic stuck in htc magic boot screen, it keeps rebooting after playing the htc welcome sound.
it was not rooted before & i have no backup room. fastboot can't recognize the device

is there any chance to recover it?
by any chance you got your phone from Smart Telecom in Manila? Rockwell? White HTC Magic?
I dont want to open one more thread so I'll share my doubt here.
I've bricked my Magic and I supose that warranty doesnt cover it. What about if I drop my magic, for exemple, and send it to HTC ? Would they fix it ?

Alright from what i can understand is a native htc. You havnt rooted right? Do you have warranty from HTC? Because if you do you should use it there should be a maulfunction hardware and we should not do any experiments in order to try fix something wich maybe has a malfunction, and then you loose warranty.
If you dont have the warranty, then please tell me, have you done anything in particuler to make the phone become like this? If yes please tell me exacly what in order to find a suitable solution .

thats normal is not update but sappimg.img . you can do that but before you should be able to update in fastboot mode without problems.
If you have a firewall remove, sometimes it inteferes.
In case doesnt update in fastboot the offficial HTC update read and follow instructions:

Read everything, Skip the create the gold card method.
and do exacly as is written in english (You dont need to format the card)
Basicly is:
Download http://rapidshare.com/files/267446145/2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip
insert on your SD card. run in Hboot (Down volume + back)
The phone is going to update the new rom. Be patient, the first time takes around 5-10 min most of the times.
download the hboot: http://rapidshare.com/files/247838950/update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2005-signed.zip
change the name to update.zip and copy to the SD card. Turn on the phone pressing power+home and it'll enter in safe mode. In safemode apply update.zip .
Then you should have something as: http://www.androidpt.info/images/d/d5/Magic0014_4.jpg
Then you'll flash a recovery so that you can install a rom

Hi everyone
First im super noob to this i have used this forum to update software on my windows mobile device but android is a lot more dificult if you are noob.
Ok to start i strugled to get fastboot working but after aboout 3 days strugle i managed to get it working.
Then I flashed amon ra 1.70 and then after that i installed the engineering spl and then a custom rom. i cant remember the name of the rom but i have double checked that it is for HTC MAGIC and also 32A. after i flashed the rom i cant boot the phone it stays on the vodacom splash screen the first screen when i put my phone on.
I have tried numeres other roms but no luck it just doest want to boot!!! I can still go in to amon ra and still use fastboot if that is a help.
I can send all the details of the phone tonight when i get from work. But any help will be graetly apreciated.
Regards
Please post your fastboot info.

I just upgraded the SPL to 1.33.2010 and still stuck on the boot screen.
I tried to install the rom again using fastboot flash system (rom).zip and it didnt work i dont know what to do must i also update the radio and if so how and where can i get the radio.
Please i am realy clueless now on what to do thanx for the help so far.
Okay, now you should have the right SPL and Radio. Start your phone in Recovery and connect it to your computer. Choose USB-MS Toggle and your phone's SD card will show up in My Computer. Copy the following files to the root of your SD card:
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/get/dream_sapphire/cm_dream_sapphire_full-285.zip
http://briancrook.ca/android/cm-ports/bc-6.1.0-ebi1-signed.zip
http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed.zip
and safely remove the card using. Press Home on the phone to go out of the MS (Mass Storage) mode and then go to Flash zip from SD card. Flash them in the same order that I gave you above. When it's done, choose Reboot and it should boot up into a fully-working nightly build of CyanogenMOD.

All 1.33.20xx where xx can be 04,05,09 or 10 do work for that radio. So you are not right on the one. The problem is simple, either he/she does not give enough time for the "new" rom to load all the way ( which is 7-15 mins) or he/she did not do a wipe before running the rom.
Do this and it WILL work:
Download my fastboot commander from my signature, magic version.
Boot into fastboot and start the tool.
Go to "Misc" tab. Select all partitions (in the RED box) and click "erase chosen partitions".
Go to "Magic 32A" tab and click on "flash new".
When done, reboot into custom recovery (hold home + power together for 5 sec and let go).
Use the trackball to navigate.
Use the "usb-ms toggle" and copy this file inside the sdcard.
Press home on the phone to return to menu and then select "Flash zip from sdcard".
Now select the file from above.
When done choose to reboot into system, and ENJOY :0)
NB: it will take like 10-15 min before the system starts up.
GOOD LUCK.

Oops. Could have sworn .2005 only works properly with the 32B radio. My bad. Oh, well, he has 2010, which should be fine for all old-radio ROMs.
@Reaper21 To get you a bit more confused: 32A Magics (like the one you have) can run two different radio/spl combinations. One is the one you have (SPL 1.33.xxxx + Radio 3.22.xx.xx) - called "old radio" - and the second (SPL 1.76.xxxx + Radio 6.35.xx.xx) is the one you need to run most SenseUI ROMs (but others too - you'll spot them because the developers mention they are for the "new radio" or "6.35").
If you want a clean Android experience, closer to the default user interface, you can run CyanogenMOD and ROMs based on AOSP (Android Open Source Project) - most of them need the old radio. These have the advantage of always using the latest version of Android available.
If you want the fancier - but sometimes slower - SenseUI you can use the RCMagic (the one mumilover recommended), CleanMagic and others. The user interface is a lot friendlier, but you have to make do with Android 2.1 (instead of the latest official version - 2.2.1, with 2.3 coming up). This won't normally be a problem. I, for one, prefer SenseUI and I'm guessing mumi does too
Use mumilover's commander to switch between new and old. It should be safe, as long as your phone's battery is charged and you don't unplug the cable or anything
Let us know how it works out!
Ok guys internet was off for a while im having a look and downloading the files now. I realy hope it works. will keep you posted, and thanx for the replies so far
Dude thank you you are the best its working again booting into the mod and working fine accept the reason i Wanted to do the software is that for some reason my Sim cant cant register on to the network. I Have tried all 4 networks in my country and none work it just said that unable to connect to the network at this time try again later.
Can this be a hardeware fault?
But thanx at least the device boots and i can use GPS again
Is the phone locked to the original carrier?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239 (the upgrade part)
with the files from *urgh* cant find the link again.. *search in history*
edit; cant find the url, f***, anyway, the filenames was "update-hboot-1.76.2007-signed.zip", "NewRadio.img"
what i want to do:
get a new ROM on the phone, with 2.0+ with sense
i can't flash recovery with fastboot, however, i can boot into 1 with fastboot boot /path/to/img in CMD.
however, that does not seem to work, i suspect it has something to do with the errors im getting on fastboot.
the errors are:
SD Checking...

1. Remove battery, wait 5-10 seconds, place it back
2. Turn phone on by pressing and holding Back + Power (phone should load into fastboot)
3. Connect to PC, if connected successfully - text 'fastboot' will change to 'fastboot usb'
4. Run RUU
that doesnt seem to help, it (the program) still gives usb connection error 170, but i can access it from fastboot in cmd.

Error 170 links to USB connection error.
Make sure that you've installed Android SDK Tools (with drivers package), HTC Sync (with drivers / or drivers only).
In Android SDK Tools there are two utilities: /platform-tools/adb.exe and /tools/fastboot.exe
You can check connection with PC when executing:
adb devices (in normal-mode)
fastboot devices (in fastboot-mode)
If any utility returned serial number - so you don't have any problems with usb connection and can try install RUU

the only thing im missing on that list is htc sync, so ill download it and try again, i have adb and fastboot, but im not sure that adb can connect to the phone in fastboot ( since i can't boot to ROM )
e; adb and htc sync cant find the devices, as suspected, probably due the fact that i can't boot the device other then with "fastboot boot <recovery img>" in fastboot-usbmode.
and the program still can't find the phone after installing htc sync (same error).

Yeah. Adb works only in normal-mode, but fastboot.exe works in fastboot-mode.
So...
Load into fastboot-mode
Run command
Code:
fastboot devices
Does it return serial number?

Your computer can see phone, but you have to change usb-cable or usb-port.

oh ok... that makes sense, i think, because i've been using a unorignal cable since my original cable is borrowed out.
who knew a cable could make such a hassle.

If you are on 1.76.2007 / 6.35.XX.XX so you can try this:

a few questions about the guide posted, since i haven't done anything yet other then the RUU so i could atleast use the phone...
do i really need a goldcard? i've read the guide, and it doesnt seems to do anything but edit my sdcard, which seems weird since it works to the phone already and it seems i already have root, because 'adb shell' gives me #, and i downloaded superuser, which doesn't seem to be any issue, but i still have S-On, so i'm a bit confused about that.
where do i get the SPL & HBoot? the links seems to be missing in the guide.
i guess i should flash new SPL and HBoot before saying this, but the error in hboot still exists after RUU.
thanks for all the help =)

Every time if you want flash official ROM that is not for your country/operator you need goldcard. In general, phone has own CID (example HTC__037 - Indonesia), ROM has list of compatible CIDs. While flashing ROM is checking list with phone's CID. If they are not equal - you will get error. Goldcard emulates cid 11111111 which is always in ROM CID list.

Yeah, to do S-OFF you must flash engineering bootloader. Hboot which compatible to radio 6.35.XX.XX is hboot 1.76.2007

SPL and HBoot and Bootloader are same things (in general, when people write manuals)
And yes, you need flash HBoot 1.76.2007 - you will get more abilities (like fastboot commands)
HBoot 1.76.2007 ENG S-OFF here: Download Flash via custom recovery
