The radio images at modaco are for the HTC Hero. I was wondering whether or not this radio update would work on my Magic... Try looking in the development section for the newest original magic firmware RUU (it's the official HTC method of updating). This update contains a correct magic radio image (amongst other things). The RUU package should include a readme on how to apply the update. The screen you are seeing on your phone is the original recovery screen so at least we know that your device is not bricked!
Hi,
I'm on the same situation .... my HTC magic not boot. But on my case is impossible run the update menu.
how can I install the original Radio for saphire?
thanks for your suggestions,
This is interesting.
I was considering flashing that EUROPEAN radio to my spare phone (HTC Dream) to basically take the 50/50 chance to see whether or not it would actually register and comply with the device.
So, it's confirmed that this method DOES NOT WORK...correct?
Which radio did you flash again? I'll double-check the link. And which update did you attempt to apply? The 2.1 Hero version of the build...? As in the "enhanced" port. That won't be available for the Sapphire (32B) for a few days. Paul @ Modaco-ANDROID said he is working the kinks out, then fashioning an enhanced version for the Sapphire and apparently the Dream as well.
Hi,
thanks for your reply ... but now, my problem is recover the htc.
I try to entry on the Recovery tool and run fastboot, etc ... and nothing work's ....
thanks for your help
Hmph. That's not a good sign.

Not to say you shouldn't be on the optimistic side of this...but from what you've stated; sounds like you have just created a $300 paper weight! I'm sorry.
If you cannot boot into recovery, cannot run fastboot, and from what I understand you cannot power on your device into a normal loading...that's a serious set of problems. Potentially permanent ones.
NOW, all things considered...have you tried ADB? Can your computer detect the device to run ADB? If so, you might have some luck in that department to uninstall whatever you've done or possibly re-flash the appropriate radio and SPL.
Search tutorials. I cannot offer further assistance for your particular situation. It's in your hands now.
I'm in the same boat.
I'd be interested to find out what this screen actually is. I thought it might be a recovery image but adb devices does not return any information.
None of the usual key combinations to get to hboot or fastboot or recovery will work.
I have the latest rogers update ruu and will try to run that and see if it works.
Wasn't able to use the rogers updater as it wouldn't see the phone.
Spoke to HTC support who seemed not to know what the box with the arrow pointing to a phone screen meant.
They are collecting tomorrow and will re flash it for me.
Whether someone will be able to tell that I was flashing a new, apparently incorrect, radio we'll just have to wait and see.
radio
i have the same thing i tried to install a different radio on the cyn 10.1.1 rom and i had teh same recovery logo. i tried everything. i thing our phone is bricked. i called rogers and they will send me a new phone as i told them i used the rogers update tool. next month ill see if they will charge me for the damage or not.
My phone is back with HTC for repair. Initially they said they would re flash it, but now I understand that they are replacing the main board. It looks like the problem is pretty terminal!
I have same problem, is there any solution for this?
same situation here,any help?
For now there is no solution, maybe serial cable in blue led mode or jtag can help,
read about it in G1 section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591048
This problem is caused by failed radio rom update, I think JTAG will help, but problem is we dont have pinouts for magic. So if anyone have magic with water damage can help us finding pinouts for jtag.

Same problem , but you should go back and download your same SPL & Radio that came with your and go into fastboot and flash theme to your phone , then flash the correct recovery img for your phone model , and hopefully you are good to go , hope this helps .

Hey guys, I really need some help. I have a rogers htc dream (Canada's g1) I was trying to root and following the following this thread after getting my spl to 1.33.2005
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654
after this i went to recovery and had the latest cyno in my sdcard as update.zip, in recovery i selected the sdcard update option and it did what it had to do. After this i went and rebooted and my phone is hung at the rogers icon.
This entire process is in this thread (by me) in the Dream section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5181304&posted=1#post5181304
if anyone could come to this thread and help me out i would love the help. If this phone does not get working i will be stuck to using my lg neon for the next 2 years. Thank you for ANY help what so ever.
and i can still access the recovery menu and the fastboot menu
Not a brick/semi-brick
this is not a brick/semi-brick. since cyanogen took out google apps from his roms (legal issues), you have to flash two files. if you go to his thread and go the his wiki, he will give you both files. you flash the first file (a htc file) then you flash cyanogen. it will boot up after a few minutes.
Hi all, I am new to this forum and already did something very stupid which lead to the reason I am posting.
I just got my Magic and was excited to root it and try different ROM.
the device was rooted and was running fine on 1.5 and 1.6.
I got cocky and decided to try the 2.0/2.1 ROM which require update of Radio and SPL.
I found that I need to update radio to 2.22.19.26I. (Haykuro's page) code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
I couldn't find instruction on updating Radio so I did a quick search and found this page
developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html
(sorry about the URL, I am new to the foruum, and cannot post full URL)
I kinda followed the steps and applied the radio update and that's what broke the phone.
It restarted and got stuck on the Rogers screen. Then I tried to enter the recovery mode and fastboot mode with no luck.
I saw some people are still getting fastboot access while it gets stuck on the LOGO page, but I can't get in.
I know I have done something very stupid and I am hoping I can get some help from you guys.
thanks
Rogers Dreams/Magics use different radios and SPLs to regular T-mobile branded devices, so flashing either would brick it. If you can't get in to recovery or the SPL you're done for *sad face*
Ok here goes from what i know.
I went ahead and created a goldcard from the unlockr tutorial. I downloaded the files that he specified and am able to get it to that fastboot\usb screen and the other one. I tried to flash the recovery and it tells me it fails or is not allowed. I try to just normally boot the phone and it says htc magic and ust starts heating up. I have a somewhat knowledge of what im doing but im lost here. If anyone has a suggestion on how to get the recovery to flash or anything to make this phone work again i will be greatly appriciative. I have no phone now and cannot figure out what in the world to do. Thanks
I am good with gadgets, but this is my first Android.
The phone was given to me already rooted and unlocked.
It is a Rogers Dream unlocked
I updated update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip to include the Videotron apn.
I updated Rom Manager and clockwork to the latest versions.
From Rom Manager I selected Install ROM from SD card, selected the updated ROM and checked all 3 options, backup, clear [I don't remember what] and clear [an other I don't remember what].
The backup was successfull
Flashing seemed successfull, but it cannot reboot. It hangs on Rogers splashscreen.
I removed the battery and:
I tried to press Volume-/power but no luck
I tried back/power but no luck.
I cannot get into fastboot.
What can I do ?
I would need detailed instructions because I am not the one who rooted the phone the first time so I don't even know how to do it yet. I would appreciate your help.
