I've managed to get into a right pickle with my Vodaphone Magic 32B
I originally flashed the SPL with Engineering SPL 1.33.2005. All was fine and I managed to use the Cyanogenmod without problems.
Last night I was trying to flash the evil hero rom, it kept failing (verification failed). After a few reboots to try reflashing my SPL now displays "Sapphire PVT 32B ENG S-ON H". It said S-OFF previously.
Now when I try and update from SD it gives me an error message saying
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory) E: Can't mount SDCARD:"
I can still fastboot to a recovery rom and use adb but I cannot flash any roms to get the phone up and running.
I have tried 2 different SD cards and reformatted them both. Both of them worked fine before yesterday.
I have tried "adb shell mount /sdcard" and this gives the same error
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Resolved
For some reason my phone has started working again. I booted it up today after leaving the battery out of it for a couple of days and "Sapphire PVT 32B ENG S-ON H" had changed to "Sapphire PVT 32B ENG S-OFF G"
I was just about to phone Vodafone as well!
Flashed back to cyanogen rom. Nice when things fix themselves!
I think I found what might be causing the problem. The command line in adb using "cat /proc/cmdline" gives the following.
board_sapphire.disable_uart3=1 board_sapphire.usb_h2w_sw=1 board_sapphire.disable_sdcard=1 smisize=64 androidboot.baseband=2.22.19.26I androidboot.cid=VODAP001 androidboot.carrier=VODA-UK androidboot.keycaps=qwerty androidboot.mode=recovery_manual androidboot.serialno=<removed> androidboot.bootloader=1.33.2005 no_console_suspend=1 fbcon=rotate:1
I have tried changing the board_sapphire.disable_sdcard=1 to 0. using the fastboot -c option. Sometimes I can see the mmcblk0p1 block, but when I try and mount it just hangs.
Could someone please fastboot to cm recovery image and tell me what it says for when they do adb shell command "cat /proc/cmdline" ?
try fix_permissions already?
I did try the fix permissions option in the cm recovery rom. I tried pretty much every option to try and get it working!
I did not think fix_permissions did anything to the sdcard?
I have tried 5 difference SDcards now and formatted them in a variety of fat32/ext2/ext3/swap formats. None are detected.
When I use the fastboot -c option to enable the sdcards it sometimes detects the mmcblk0p1 block but freezes when trying to mount it.
I managed to get it to mount the scard but using the fastboot command
fastboot -c board_sapphire.disable_sdcard=0 boot cm-recovery-1.4.img
This does not work every time. But when I try and apply an update it freezes on "opening update package..."
I did manage to flash another SPL (1.33.2004). But it still has sdcard disabled in commandline..
I have exactly same problem after I flashed 32A radio and recovery on my mt3g. I cannot flash any rom, I can't boot the phone, I can't do anything without sd enabled. Only fastboot is able to access SD but does not allow me to flash anything including SAPPIMG.nbh.
I managed to got the phone back on stock rom...
Here's what I did and found out so far:
The fastboot option - fastboot -c board_sapphire.disable_sdcard=0 DOES NOT work on three versions of RA-Recovery image 1.2.0, 1.2.1, 1.2.2.
However, it DOES work on RA-Recovery v1.3.2 and I do too managed to flash SPL to engineer 2005 from SD card. But when I attempt to flash the radio in recovery mode, it will just freeze at opening update package... so I downloaded SAPPIMG.NBH, reverted my phone back to factory ROM. Note: I've tried to flash sappimg.nbh before I flash engineering SPL 2005,
Even though the phone is now back on stock radio, SPL and ROM, the sdcard is still disabled! In fact it is even worse, because on stock SPL, and ROM, I can't root at all without sdcard access. Anyone know how to enable it?
I have amon ra 1.5.1 recovery....
And I am trying to use switchrom option under console(altx). After typing in switchrom command I get an error.
I have an sd card mounting issue with the following message:

Any idea why this may be? And if that file can be added to the sdcard??

I have exact the same problem as you guys.
You said that "fastboot -c board_sapphire.disable_sdcard=0" works (sometime). I've tried few Amon RA recoverys and booted repeatedly but without any success.
I still got E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)
My SPL is 1.33.2010 with S-ON and i still can't flash it because of FAILED (remote: signature verify fail).
Could someone advice me?

You need to change the mainboard to fix it. Otherwise, there's no known way to fix this problem.
This issue was killing me for about a month before I gave up and bought a new phone. This issue was on my Rogers 32a, and I knew that my SD had become unreadable via Recovery and ROM, because of a failure to follow proper instructions when upgrading the radio to from 3.22.20.17 to 6.35.07.20 in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239
I'm not sure where I went wrong, but I knew I made a mistake when flashing the images in fastboot. I decided that it would be best to start over, and go back to the Engineering SPL. At this point, my SD and bluetooth stopped working.
What I noticed was that my SD card could only be read in fastboot mode, and could even install sappimg.zip/nbh Engineering ROM with Recovery image on a gold card perfectly fine. However, like b1gwest, I was partially able to get the SD to work with the "enable.sdcard=0" override command. Because this would keep crashing, I wasn't able to do anything. In the end I flashed the stock Rogers RUU(Still no SD or Bluetooth)
I noticed that on the SD cards that I put in the phone, there would be large "qxdm_[time stamp].qm" log files being written to the SD cards anytime I tried accessing it in Recovery mode. And if I'm not mistaken, this is a fastboot option on the Hero or 1.76.x.x SPL's? ANYHOW, there was no way for me to fix this without access to the SD Card.
Until now. Lucky for me(maybe for some of you too), I kept my phone.
For ROGERS 32A, possibly for other providers... if you are willing to take the Perfected SPL hit to get your SD card running again, upgrade to the latest Rogers ROM(3.05.631.7).. This gives you 1.76.0010 SPL, and Radio 6.35.10.18.
This will not fix your SD(yet), so you need to go into fastboot mode and type the following
Code:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
This fixed my SD and Bluetooth. Results may vary, but hope this helps anyone having a similar problem.
I'm not responsible for bricking, yadda yadda yadda.. You know the risks already.
Finally
However, on SPL 1.33.0009 it's not working. I get:
Code:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
... INFO[ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY
I think it's because of SPL. Do You know how to do it with this version of SPL?
You will need to upgrade to the new 1.76.xxxx SPL/6.35.xx.xx with your provider, which will also root your phone.
I would suggest you wait until a rooting option is available for the new SPL before you do this, though.
pyee0124, thank's for Your help.
I've upgraded spl and radio as You said (using htc 3.05). enableqdm 0 also worked.
ps. root and other roms aren't as important as fully working phone (with sd card ofcourse).
Same problem with G1.
I guess I'll pull my battery and wait a couple of days for now.
I can't run that fastboot command since I have a 32B Dream
Same issue
I have Vodafone AU 32B, same issue, have tried changing board_sapphire.disable_sdcard using -c option with no success.
Have also tried using different recovery roms upto v1.6.2 with no success.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I have the identical problem to the above post. Mt3g, tried different recovery Roms, can't access SD Card, get the same error no matter what I try. Anyone found a fix yet... ? My SPL says Security ON, which I'm sure was off before.
(Vodafone 32B AU also)
I had this problem too. I have just wierdly got around it by going to Apply sdcard:choose zip
I then chose the update.zip and bang everything installed perfectly when trying to install RAv1.1.0H 32A based ROM.
Very strange but at least I got it installed

Retarded question I know but, have you pulled your battey? Then try to get into recovery on reboot?
Yes for sure,
the battery has been in and out lots of times
during my struggling.
I can boot directly into recovery,
but no access to SDCard from there.
what recovery do you run? if you have 1 click root w/ cyan 1.4 there is no way to mount sd from recovery.
If that is the case do you have a sd adapter? if so place a ROM to the root of your Sd you should be able to flash in recovery from there.
I have RAv 1.2.1G as Recovery img
Problem is Unmounted SDCard,
trying menus to Update or Restore Backup
gives me error msg's
"Cant find E:..... (SDCard)
If I only could get my SDCard mounted, I probably can
Update with a new Rom or restore a Backup.
So you cant mount SD from RA from recovery?
In sd adapter ferormat card.

Really need some help here i'm stuck
It´s no bricked dude. Try remove ur sdcard and insert again.
Good luck.
Allready tried that and tried several sdcards, all cards worked before and is working on the pc
Try enable sdcard via usb toggle in RA-recovery. Insert usb cable into phone and pc. Check if your pc recognize your sdcard.
Tried to enable USB-MS no luck in windows
Try clicking the flash button a whole bunch of times, sometimes it just takes a while; I've only seen this on the hero recovery, though.
also tried that
Sorry to hear that.

If it's any consolation, you're not bricked! You can install everything using fastboot, you'll have to scour the forums or google, but you should be able to find the instructions to flash an install this way. Generically it will be something like:
Code:
./fastboot erase system -w
./fastboot flash boot ./misc/boot.img
./fastboot flash system ./misc/system.img
./fastboot flash userdata ./misc/userdata.img
Sorry, I can't provide more details, right now.
Btw an actual brick is when you can't even fastboot or get into recovery.
Far as the SD card have you tried to format it with a PC via a card reader?
Searched alot if anyone could provide a link it would be great, sound good that i'm not bricked!!!
tried to format 2 different cards on the pc
did you make a nandroid backup before you flashed the new rom? if so then y not try and load the backup.
Should be same if another rom or nandroid backup through fastboot?
1) Go into fastboot
2) fastboot erase system -w (do it about 5 times in a row.)
3) Completely power down your phone. (battery out, wait)
4) Go into fastboot.
5) Repeat number 2.
6) Complete power down. (remove battery).
7) Boot into recovery.
8) Test sdcard.
Follow these steps exactly and it might work.
I had this same problem from a bad flash.
Hope it works for you.
Still nothing

Okay,
My situation, after a bad flash (which I did not actually know was a bad flash), my SDcard reader in my phone would not read an SDcard at all. It would detect that one had been inserted, but acted as if nothing was there.
Also, my hboot showed that my bootloader was now 'S-ON' and not 'S-OFF'.
I was getting denied remote flash commands and everything.
After numerous wipes via recovery and then numerous wipes in fastboot, eventually one of the fastboot wipes fixed the problem.
I'm not 100% sure if it was a combination of erasing and then flashing a new ROM to system (via fastboot, not recovery) or what, but eventually my bootloader changed back to 'S-off' (What it always was for me) and then my SDcard could be read in the phone.
The key here was fastboot/hboot, and not recovery.
how did you flash a rom with fastboot? and which one?
S-ON is there in fastboot/hboot
also tried my nandroid backup with fastboot it says FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

In the "Rogers Mandatory Update" thread, post #139, there are clear instructions on flashing the stock Rogers ROM. I'm not suggesting you do this, though, I doubt you want the new radio, just use this as an example and search around for the files that are appropriate for what you want.
But really, I'd only resort to this to get the phone to boot and to try formatting the SD card.
Can you use adb to log into the phone?
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't S-ON and S-OFF just indicate if the phone's locked to a carrier?

S-ON stands for security on, S-OFF, off. It's not locking to a carrier, but merely a security setting for the phone itself. There's a thread about it somewhere.
I don't think this has anything to do with formatting. As long as the SDcard can be read in another device such as a computer fine, I am still siding with the idea that it was a bad flash. I spent a day stressing that my SDcard reader on my phone was borked and now I would be screwed. Amon_Ra was there to offer support, but at the end of the day, after several wipes, the fastboot erase eventually got it to come right.
Amon_Ra and I summarised that somewhere a byte or a few bytes got written where it shouldn't have and corrupted some base code somewhere.
Solimian > is something wrong with the new radio?
yes adb and fastboot works now...
adb shell also works but can't mount sdcard there either!
C:\android>fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.76.2007.img

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.

Thanks for the links...
I could re-flash the T-Mobile ROM (2.73.111.26)... The Hero starts and now it works with Android 1.5 ...
I have access to the SDCARD ... but the USB Connectivity doesn't work...
No ADB and no storage Device in Windows...
"fastboot oem eraseconfig" doesn't work... think about the false HBOOT (HBOOT-1.76.0007)...
flashrec also doesn't work... there comes "Flash FAILED: could not run command"
Any ideas?
Had exactly the same.
Forget about the rom, it doesn't matter (i.e. flash whatever you like).
You already got your SD card support back, for the rest you need to update the SPL (search for an unlocked version for your hero, double-check because it can _really_ brick your device if this fails). After that fastboot oem eraseconfig works and your usb is back to normal.
Did that yesterday, worked like a charm and actually makes sense (unlike other suggestions like "reflash N times", "unplug and replug usb or change the cable" and "send in for service"). Your USB is fine (as seen in fastboot), it's just not working after your kernel booted -> Due to messed up configuration parameters in the flash area. Basically the kernel commandline, if you will..
Wich version of SPL I do you flash?
How do you flash it? Like...
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip SPL_image.zip
in the fastboot konsole?
RecoveryConsole is not useable to me... My Hero is not rooted anymore... And it seems to be very difficult to get root again :-/
What do you mean by?

According to BTDAGs guide, flashing 2.73.61.5 should enable you to use flashrec to do the custom recovery again.

http://android.modaco.com/content-page/299174/no-adb-no-sd/page/80/
- then I have detected, that flashrec does'nt work on the ROM
- then I created a GOLD Card
- with this I flashed in the OEM fastboot Mode (described here) the HTC Update ROM (_HTC_Hero_RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe)
- then flashrec was working and I was able to flash a Recovery Image
- in the Recovery Console I flashed the unlocked Modaco SPL (from here)
- now it was possible to erase the config, which locked the USB after Kernel Boot (fastboot oem eraseconfig)
- after that I restored the last Nandroid Backup...
- Now I'm happy
Re: NEED HELP! Bricked? No SDcard in Recovery - no Restore - no adb
Excellent news.

I am using this website, and am at step 6. Everything up to this point has been going well, but i cannot get the recovery image to copy over. BTW I have the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img file i'm using. When I type to push the file to the SDcard, it says, the transfer failed because the file system is read only.
How do I fix this? I've restarted the phone, taken the SD card in and out, i've typed adb remount, and nothing is working.
. Open command prompt and go to the Tools folder in Android SDK that you downloaded to create the gold card.
Assuming that you have not changed the file name of the recovery, use the following commands:
cd C:\AndroidSDk\tools
adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard/
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img (file name of the recovery you downloaded)
OK, i've got that working, now another problem...
cd C:\AndroidSDk\tools
adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard/
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img (file name of the recovery you downloaded)
7. After the recovery has been flashed, go to the following link to download the ENG SPL for HTC MAGIC 32A (SPL: 1.76.2007)
http://www.4shared.com/file/21114537...07-signed.html
8. Now copy the SPL to your memory card.
adb push update-hboot-1762007-signed.zip /sdcard/
9. Restart your phone using the home + power key till it boots up into the recovery mode.
(or just type 'adb shell reboot recovery')
10. Using the 'Flash zip file' option from the recovery, select the SPL file from the memory card and flash the HBOOT on your phone
Now i've done most of that, but when I restart into recovery mode, it keeps on randomly rebooting even though I don't want it to. I clicked on 'flash zip file' and it just rebooted right away.
Now when I flashed the recovery, the command prompt said that it did it, BUT nothing happened on my phone, it was just sitting there and didn't say it was doing anything. Could this be a problem?
OK i kept trying, and finally i got it to go into 'flash zip file', I clicked on the correct zip file, but right after clicking the screen went black and it restarted.
Does this sound like it worked? How do I check to confirm if it worked and it's rooted?
Ok I did this, and it said ADB is already running in root in the cmd, so i think i'm good!!!
Thanks!
The easiest way to test if the device is rooted is to open another command prompt in the tools dir and type
adb root
If it returns that adab is already running in root, then you're all set.
So as i said, i installed the sapphire recovery, but now i'm reading on the wiki page that you need the HERO recovery file. I need to change the radio, but then it is saying i needed the HERO recovery.
This is so damn confusing why can't anyone get this all straight and not have so many different and totally contradicting methods.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...agic32A_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod#6.35.x_Radios
The wiki here says to use the HERO recovery, but this thread only gives the sapphire recovery for the HTC magic.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
Now to clarify i checked and i think i have successfully rooted, but the specs are this.
Sapphire PVT 32A ship s-on H
Hboot-1.76.0008
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.08.29
I'm told i need to change the radio now before I can install the cyanogen rom, is this true?
I can't find out what to do because no one seems to talk about the 1.76.0008 spl...
Any help?
OK so more playing and more following guides, I installed the HERO recovery tool (1.6.2), and updated the radio to 6.35.10.18, changed my SPL to 1.76.2007, and have my PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H setup.
I'm confused though, because I did all of this work so I can install the lastest cyanogen rom, but it says it can't use this version of the radio... what the hell?
Someone REALLY needs to fix these tutorials to be self consistant.

What do I do now?? Do I downgrade my radio or just use a different rom?

Here is a link to a test kernel port file for CM 5.0.8 from Brian Crook. This should allow you to run CM using your current Radio. Like I say it's a test port and I haven't tried it but Brian is the one that does all the ports to the Rogers 3.x radios.
http://briancrook.ca/android/testing/
you'll need to download the file bc-5.0.8-6355-ebi1-signed.zip
You would use recovery to flash CM 5.0.8 then flash this kernel port file. After that don't forget to flash the gapps package that should be linked in one of the URL's that you already posted or you can get it here http://kanged.net/mirror/download.php?file=gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed.zip
PLEASE NOTE
Do not change your radio from it's current 6.x version without flashing the matching SPL for the new radio. If you fail to flash the SPL/Radio combination correctly you WILL brick your phone.
