Help think I might have bricked my Magic(32A)

Hi,
I feel very bad asking but can you please help me with my Magic(32A) - Rogers.
Here is the story,
I bought the phone on ebay and the seller indicated that he rooted the phone before he sold me. So I thought okay as its rooted I can go to fast boot and just apply update.zip. So I did the below
1. switched off the phone
2. pressed home + power on and went to fast boot
3. did clean swipe
4. applied update.zip
It applied the custom rom(CyanogenMod 32a) and after that I am stuck on Roger's boot-up screen. So after this I removed my battery and I tried to going to fastboot and clicking Nandriod v2.1.1 restore and I get this error "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblkop1". After that I did wipe and tried to apply restore but can "Error running nandriod restore. Restore not performed".
Can you please advise me of any options I have to restore my magic back.
Thanking you
FD

If you where not flashing the SPL you "should" still be ok if you can get into fastboot.
If you can just try to apply the ROM again, you might want to download another copy or different ROM (Hero maybe).

do me a fav and power on holding down the vol down. see if you go into fastboot. if you do then you are not bricked. if so, see what your radio and spl is plus check if your (s) is off. if so you are rooted and you flashed the wrong board rom. if its on then your seller lied and you are not rooted. if so fallow the rooting guides that are posted here. if you need ne help just pm me and i will apply my skills the best i can. i want all to be rooted and experience the true right of freedom. lol. fosho. . . .

Partial hope
When I power it on and hold volume down I can get into fastboot mode and here is what I can see on the screen

Thanking you

ok ?. did you buy it rooted so you didnt have to do ne thing?? does it have RAv recovery or cm's recovery??

Thank you rocking_mod I was able to restore my phone. Here is what I did
1. downloaded HoFo mod to renamed it to update.zip and copied it to SD card
2. used a recovery img and did a fast boot and loaded the img
3. after the reboot did a clean wipe
4. loaded the HoFo rom from the recovery mode.
And finally now the phone works again. Enough of action for one day.
Thanks again.

Congrats!
Always great to see when someone bring his mobile back to live

I'm guessing the ROM you downloaded was not compatible with your phone. As a side note, do NOT apply the Rogers update ontheir web site. It will upgrade your SPL to the dreaded perfect version.

I got the same error when I first apply the hofoion108.zip. I happened to press apply again somehow, and it had no errors at the second time. My phone can start with that rom later on.

I need help, i am in same situation as you freedonkey, but i don't know where to get the files you reffer to:
1. downloaded HoFo mod to renamed it to update.zip and copied it to SD card
2. used a recovery img and did a fast boot and loaded the img
3. after the reboot did a clean wipe
4. loaded the HoFo rom from the recovery mode.
The HoFo mod and which recovery image should i use and where to get it ?

ps: I am not sure, but i dont know what model is mine (i am kind of a newbie :/) i think it should be Rogers, but not sure, bought it in Portugal blocked to TMN phone company.

I also "soft-bricked" my Magic when installing a new ROM. I had wrong radio and didn't wipe before trying to install - all I was left was the HTC boot splash.
I was then, after a few days of reading & thinking, able to restore the device! I had bought it used so I had no warranty.
I used ADB to check out if the device was alive or dead. I wiped everything that was left (kernel, boot, system and userdata) and flashed new radio that would work with CM5/6. After that I flashed Amon_RA 1.71 Recovery, a 1.6 Donut ROM, gapps and new kernel. It worked! After that (for a month) I've been playing with CM6 nightlies and RC's.
If you don't want root capablities, just the original ROM, there should be good info on that. But if you do, I would recommend to follow CyanogenMod instructions from their wiki - they're helpful and easy to follow.

Thanks for the help kantiii, i will see what i can doo tonight when i get back home

Hey again Kantii,
I am sorry i am bit newbie, I figure out my phone is still alive sthoughout ADB as u did, but i don't know for sure how to:
1- I wiped everything that was left (kernel, boot, system and userdata)
- I actuall wiped it after i turned the phone on with Home+off buton, does that inclued kernel and system wipe ?
2- flashed new radio that would work with CM5/6
- CM = Cyanogen Mod ??? which of these files u recomend to me ? (Both radio and CM5/6 ?)
3- I flashed Amon_RA 1.71 Recovery, a 1.6 Donut ROM, gapps and new kernel
- Is Amon_RA 1.71 Recovery compatible with any HTC MAgic ???
I am really newbie about all this so I would appreciate all details! :|
thanks a lot for everything so far anyway

Sorry for long time no reply! I had not checked my mailbox!
You should wipe them in fastboot:
1. Turn your phone on by pressing back + power until you are in fastboot & see the skating droids. Another method to do this is turning the phone on by pressing volume down + power and then the back key.
2. Connect the device to your pc (make sure you see FASTBOOT USB on the phone display) and run CMD
3. type "fastboot devices" and check if your phone is plugged in correctly and you see the device ID.
4. Now you can wipe them correctly with fastboot:
4.1 type "fastboot erase [system/cache/userdata/boot/kernel/recovery all separately]" (without brackets etc, they are here to make reading easier)
4.2 Download:radio http://www.theandroidkitchen.com/fi...es/?download=Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_3.22.20.17.img
SPL http://briancrook.ca/android/3.22/hboot-1.33.2005.img
recovery http://rapidshare.com/files/387932922/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H-cyan.img​4.3. Move the downloaded files to C:\ (and if you want, rename to Radio.img and Hboot.img and Recovery.img) so it is easier to use them. After that type "cd.." in cmd repeatedly until you are in C:\
5. Now you should be able to flash the radio, SPL and recovery images:
5.1 Type "fastboot flash radio Radio.img"
5.2 Type "fastboot flash hboot Hboot.img"
5.3 Type "fastboot flash recovery Recovery.img"
5.4 In each step wait until fastboot says it has finished - if you won't, you have to start everything again or may brick your device.
6. Now in your phone press menu to power down it. Then boot again to fastboot to confirm you flashed correctly:SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2005
RADIO-3.22.20.17​7. Now power down the device again and boot to recovery by pressing home + power.
7.1 In recovery, check that it works correctly (no lag, no crashes, functions work properly)
8. Now you can install CyanogenMod 6 and enjoy fast FroYo on your Magic

Good luck and hopefully you can restore your device!

Not to thread hijack, but these instructions look well suited to my situation. At step 4.1 I get the error "FAILED (remote: not allow)". How to solve?

These instructions are only for Magic, but..
Post your fastboot details, please.

Hi my magic 32b is stuck on vodaphone splash screen.no fastbiot or recovery.but chargeable via usb and has blue light too.can u show me steps to softunbrick
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Sorry, but 32b is out of my area
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755903
After that, test if you can get to fastboot or hboot (fastboot: back + power, hboot vol down + power). Then report back and search the forum for further help on restoring your device with new SPL & radio & recovery & ROM
Otherwise, if these won't work you could try JTAG.
Hope this helps,

You will need a gold card to fix it

Tell us if you can get into the screen that you get with "volume down + power"... If you can get into that screen, then you will be able to update you magic trough the goldcard method...

What do I do if "volume down + power" does not work?

then that sucks. BRICKEDD!!!!!

people get those errors cuz of wrong files..
very stupid mistake

if you have windows with right deriver and htc sync, you can try to flash an original RUU , it should work. if you cant download one using you serial number , make a gold card and use another RUU
Edit: maybe there is no ruu for that phone ... then you should ful the ruu by changing rom.zip file to one you know works.
edit : oh man you flashed G1 radio
Code:
assert compatible_with("0.2") == "true"
assert getprop("ro.product.device") == "dream" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "dream"
show_progress 0.5 0
write_radio_image PACKAGE:radio.img
show_progress 0.5 10

can you fastboot back+power
if so
download recovery from amon_ra making sure its the right one 32a H 32b G
then
open cmd
navigate to your sdk tools folder
fastboot flash recovery c:\(wherever you put recover.img file) (whatever file name is).img
i put mine in sdk tools
so mine will look like
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img
hope this is what you need if not sorry about waisting your time

My HTC MAGIC A6161 from Vodafone
one day the phone comes up with the Vodafone boot screen only and i have only access to FASTBOOT mode and nothing else
does someone know a way to get the original NBH file as it seems the only way to unbrick it so far and of course none of the FASTBOOT commands work and none of the ADB commands work too
can anyone help pleaaaaassssseee

define, DO you, or DO YOU NOT have access to fastboot?!? (when you press back&power)
if you have access to fastboot then you're not bricked at all.
if you do not have access to fastboot, recovery (back&power), hboot (vol down&power), or master reset (home&back+power),
and the only thing that is different than your 1st boot screen is when you press trackball+power - blue led turns on, then you are semi bricked.
and you will have to wait for solution, because, there is no solution yet, but will be, very soon...

well i have access to FASTBOOT mode but i can't flash any files through the fastboot commands i get Failed(remote : not allow) and that's because i'm not root anymore and to be root i need to access the recovery mode which i don't have.. so i'm in so many ways stuck ..

That is not because your not root... thats because you have a perfected SPL...

Tell us what the Fastboot screen says. Everything. Anyway, as long as you have access to fastboot and a hackable SPL you should be okay.

i've tried today one of the NBH file on the forum after i created another goldcard and guess what it started installing till it stopped at a very strange part while installing system with an error (partition update fail)
so i tried to look it up but i couldn't find anything useful.
it's almost a week and i'm trying everyday, i've searched and searched and now it comes to this when i'm just one step to finish this nightmare
i'm not going to the service center with my tale between my legs
if someone knows something .. now would be a very good time

@shahwan: Well, that's weird! Have you, by any chance, messed around and flashed a 32B radio? Anyway, you could try this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218 to get an engineerings SPL and then flash another radio (3.22 maybe?) from fastboot.
@misiobot: Remove the battery, put it back, press and hold Volume Down and then press Power. Does this take you to fastboot? If not, what does your screen show? Please give us as many details as possible, we can't guess what the problem is.

well actually it takes me to fastboot mode normally but if i try the fastboot commands to flash anything i get the famous error (remote .. failed)
so it was useless that's why i had to flash the phone with a NBH file and that was my only solution till i got the error (partition update fail) when it tried to install the system, which means that it wasn't successful of course
i even tried another Sd card becaue the one i was using was only 1GB and to create the freaken gold card i had to put the SD card in another functioning phone

I have exactly the same problem as you, I can boot to both HBoot and Fastboot, but I cant flash anything by using fastboot, not even erase the system (remote: not allow) is what I've got, could anyone help on this ?

Either run a RUU or apply a SAPPIMG.zip

I have access to fastboot and recovery so far
I have tried many firmwares in this radio as well as 6.xx radio new one. Had no problems so far. I was running a ROM on this radio itself. Then i wished to switch back to cyanogen latest. So i wiped and tried flashing the following
1/ flashed first - defaged firmware
2/ updated cyanogen 15.1 over it
3/ flashed the port of 32A
After this on booting, phone was stuck @ htc boot screen. So i again came back to recovery, and tried flashing again. This time it said a signature fail on defaged firmware file as well as other files in it.
Tried few times and still same issue.
Tried formatting sd card mounting on phone - recovery usb. but then after that it is no more detecting. I tried partitioning fat32, ext2-512mb, swap 32mb, manually through paragon and put again, still memory card not detecting. I get similar errors

I dont know how it went from S-OFF to S-ON. And that is the reason why fastboot was not accepting anything
Then to update recovery i did adb push to /sdcard and then flashed from there. And then i got my recovery updated to 1.6.2. This confirms somewhere phone is able to write to memory card through adb, but i cannot use recovery to flash from it. memory card has no prob neither phone hardware
Still no use, memory card is not detected + cannot flash files.
My current scenario
-- my radio and spl is correct, i have recovery lates 1.6.2
-- phone has no rom now
-- i can access fastboot and recovery
-- my signatures - S-ON so cannot use fastboot to flash anything
-- memory card not detecting, tried 1-2 memory cards. All detecting on pc

didnt you forgot to flash samming.img? BEcause without that, it wont turn off. Try flash again, use a gold card if doesnt work. Download from here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/267446145/2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip
hope it helps

I did not forget to flash that, it was not something i wanted. My phone was a completely rooted phone with everything running perfect. I was just reinstalling cyanogen from start.
Regarding goldcard, I couldnot find my sdcard CID, so could not create it.

create a new one. Create gold card from the recovery option. You can coonect your SD card to your computer with the phone in recovery mode, there is a MS Connect menu, select that one. you can get the CID and do the process again.
If i were you i would run HTC update from a SPL edition wich would be able to root and do all over again for safe keeping.

how to create gold card from recovery ? my memory card is anyway not mounting on recovery now
regarding getting cid, on memory card reader i couldnot get cid, maybe my card reader is not worth providing such info
thirdly, i have tried updating using original ruu, it fails in the stage of update where it says rebooting into bootloader.
I tried the same in fastboot mode, normal mode and recovery. Nothing works, except 1 change that in fastboot mode, it turns the phone to stuck at the fastboot screen and i have to pull out battery.
Any other options ?

before starting the phone, you press Power+Home, and you'll have the custom recovery option right?
There is a option called: "USB MS-Toggle" activate it , From that option you can get a CID without any problem and recover everything

have you tried a G1 method?

Just as we do any flashing. put to sd card and flashed through recovery in this order(PLZ READ MY FIRST POST COMPLETELY)
1. defaged firmware
2. cyanogen latest update over it (without rebooting)
3. 32A port

what did you had before as radio ? Hboot? Etc
Have you tried to download a oficially signed from HTC Hboot and in fastboot flashing it ?

try the following to see if works.
1)Link your Phone to your computer, run it in fastboot mode.
2)Run a HTC update (choose anyone)
3)Click next until the update confirmation part.
4) run %temp% and you'll find Rom.zip and rom1.zip , copy to a folder and unzipit. Close the update app.
5) collect the following files:
userdata.img
system*.img
Splashe*.nb0
recovery.img
radio.img
hboot*.nb0
boot.img
(The ons with * are the version of the following update you are applying)
6) Zip to a samppimg.zip, put on the SD card and enter in HBoot mode (Volume down+power)
PS: i dont know if works, and it might become worst but try at your own risk. Never passed throught that situation. Last optiion read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655097 and follow the JTAG Hack option. I Dont know any other way.

I have no idea about your error, but you can't flash recovery.img unless you have an engineering SPL (which you'd have to root to acquire).
Please boot your phone holding home and vol- and post what's displayed on the screen.

i had a similiar problem with yours. stuck in the recovery img and spl issue. my actual statu is a rooted phone with a cutom recovery img but with the original spl and radio(about to change those too).
this is how i did:
as far as i've learned, u dont need to flash your spl in order to flash your recovery.
i intalled FlashRec.apk and then installed RA recovery img from it. there a video on youtube called how to root your magic in one click. try that!
goodluck!

Looks like you have a Rogers Magic, correct?
You have S-ON (security on) so you can't flash anything useful from fastboot.
I use a 32B device, so hopefully a fellow Rogers user can help you :-/

That will work on some 1.5 builds, 4zroot and universal androot are newer alternatives.

I tried to use that way, but that backup device''error flaied image invalid"I think I deleted the original recovery of the phone and now my phone is not in recovery mode again, no way to recover it?
if you follow the way of''recovery''Amon_RA img instead only image recovery platforms, the need of the SDK is not it? I think I have not installed successfully because when you type the command ADB ADB device only shows up on MSDOS''attached''List of devices without the S / N of my phone

if you follow the way of''recovery''Amon_RA img instead only image recovery platforms, the need of the SDK is not it? I think I have not installed successfully because when you type the command ADB ADB device only shows up on MSDOS''attached''List of devices without the S / N of my phone

Just because the backup failed, doesn't mean your recovery is gone. Use home+power and tell us if it's still there.
"adb devices" will show the serial number of all attatched devices, you have it set up correctly. However you can not use adb or fastboot to root your device.

because I used the command "erase fastboot recovery" so I think I deleted the original recovery of the phone away and then, when I press home and power it boots up the words "HTC Magic" and stop there

Oh, and flashrec did that? As in, it removed recovery but couldn't flash a new one?
That's a *****, you could try another root method like universal androot to get to flash the custom recovery image.

You can´t use fastboot unless you get S-OFF. In order to get it you should flash an Engineering SPL. Try this one:
https://rs602dt.rapidshare.com/#!do...ed.zip|189|R~F2574604F09E1923BC58D9AD240AE64D
You need a working recovery to flash this zip. Can you access it? (Turn ON the phone with the combo "Power+Home".

You need to put that Engineering SPL in the root of your sd card and flash it in the recovery. But you need a working recovery installed. You can't flash anything right now with fastboot. Just make this clear: Does your phone boot into the system? Can you access fastboot mode or Hboot mode?

Access the Hboot or Fastboot
The HBOOT screen has a white background with text/lettering of a variety of colors; you start the HBOOT boot from a power-off state by pressing and holding both Vol-Down and End/Power until the screen lights up. You will know it is the HBOOT when see 3 (green) skateboarding Droids
The FASTBOOT screen also has a white background with text/lettering of a variety of colors; you start the FASTBOOT boot from a power-off state by pressing and holding both Send and End/Power until the screen lights up.

What about the recovery?? Can you access it? And can you enter into the system? It's really important. The thing is, if you can't access recovery you need to enter into the system (Android OS) and flash a new one with ADB. If you can't access any of this, you need to run a RUU in order to restore your system. If you don't provide all the information you can't get helped.

try this adb commands
you have a semi-bricked phone
The "remote not allowed" means the SPL is perfected. Perfected means that it's "Locked" or S=ON
Try ADB first, otherwise if it does not work
You have to make a gold card:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/14/how-to-root-your-mytouch-3g/
Once you have a gold card then you download a new SPL and put it onto the card (read instructions from there):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4332591
Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010
Once you have an Engineering (prefered) or non-perfected SPL you'll be able to flash what you need without the 'remote not allowed' message.
