HTC Magic (PVT 32A) bricked or can it be saved?

Hi all,
spent entire last night trying to figure out how to flash a custom ROM into my phone - problem initially was that I'd updated it with the ROM from the HTC site, so it was in perfectSPL.
Anyway, after a lot of searching and attempting I managed to get in an engineer SPL and then attempted to flash with the Cyanogen Mod 5.0.7. It kept on giving me an error which I figured was due to my Radio being the newer one, so I went through these instructions to flash an older one, using the following code:
fastboot flash radio Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_6.35.10.18.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.76.2007.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But in my case I used Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_3.22.20.17.img so as to get the Cyanogen Mod to (hopefully) work, and I used the recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img as that was the one I'd used to get the engineer SPL installed as well. I did use the suggested hboot-1.76.2007.img, but probably made a mistake in doing so? Reading further down the page for changing RADIO it describes how to downgrade to radio 3.22 and it says I should use hboot-1.33.2010.img instead....
After the last command, however, it went into reboot but since then I'm stuck with this screen regardless of how I boot (recovery/fastboot/regular) - see attached image.
(I did enter the command literally as above, no space between reboot and -bootloader - that of any concern?)
My problem seems to differ from the others I've read about when searching for "bricked" - I'm perfectly willing to accept my fate if it really is bricked, but as of yet I'm not quite convinced. For one, if I run the HTC official updater it starts and actions are displayed in the HTC screen, but unfortunately it always stops at 36% when sending Radio... so fairly sure it's something wrong with it.
Question is: is there any way to re-flash another (proper) Radio and see if I can get anywhere from there?
Would appreciate any suggestions
Cheers
//Joris

maybe if you read the proper directions - even my thread has links to them then u would be fine
you need the 2010 spl for that radio and u have a 1.76.2007 spl u used ...
I suggest u look up cursordroids directions

As a follow-up, please see attached image - this is what I get when I try to use the fastboot commands to either flash radio or hboot

do u have v 2007? or a perfect spl installed - I think its perfect...

i do not know if this helps. but if you managed to flash the older radio, then try to flash an original rom for your board which includes old radio and post any results.

Thanks for the quick reply - I realize I messed up, was getting later and later so lost focus I'm afraid. Plus been reading so many different instructions and suggestions that I simply lost track and - in this case - failed to read further down the page. (I am indeed on his page, the one you link to on yours)
However, question right now is whether or not the phone can be saved? See my above post - it won't flash in another radio or SPL at the moment, at least not using fastboot command from the cmd prompt. Any alternative suggestions or other commands I can/should run first?
Cheers

I tried using the official HTC ROM (that comes as an .exe package) - tested with the last official one I get when I download it from their site, as well as the one before which I got from this sites ROM collection - both get stuck at 36% when "sending Radio" I believe it says at that point. I did try this one as well: 2.17.401.2 HTC Nordic - from what I could see this is the oldest Nordic HTC ROM - that one however gave me another error message, something about wrong Board or so I believe.
Which one would you suggest I try? At this point these .exe packages seem to "work", at least they start and identify the phone and all.

I'm afraid that at this point I really do not know anymore
I followed these steps to get past the 1.76.0009:
1. Download RUU linked above.
2. Install update using RUU.
3. Turn on phone and connect to computer.
4. Get RA recovery and SPL also linked above and drop them to sdcard root directory.
5. Run SDK: adb shell
6. Install recovery: flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
6. Turn off phone and turn on again holding Power+Home. RA Recovery should appear.
7. Flash zip from sdcard.
8. Use file: update-hboot-1762007-signed
9. Done. PSPL broken.
10. Build a shrine for orange_24

After this I proceeded with the following:
fastboot flash radio Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_3.22.20.17.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.76.2007.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(I have now edited in the exact files I used)
After this I ended up in the position I'm in now - it did a reboot but nowo I'm only getting into the screen as shown in the first attachment.
On a sidenote, how can I get my account verified so I do not have to wait 5 mins between posts?

I just tried the following ROM update:
RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_HTC_Nordic_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
Result is as per attached image.
Seems I've managed to mix up everything and managed to have incompatible radio/hboot and probably also SPL....
Is there any way to fix this

what version of spl does your fastboot report?
if you have 2007 u should be able to fastboot images
if you have perfect spl u may have to root again using gold card...

How do I check this? Was testing around some more whilst hoping for a reply here and found that I cannot find the device using the adb devices command, but the phone appears to be in fastboot mode as I can detect it with "fastboot devices". That said and as the attached image in post #3 shows, I can't seem to flash images - giving me an error message.
So basically on the phone it displays what's shown in the attached picture (if I plug in the USB cable then "USB" shows up behind the orange RUU text). Regardless of whether I try to start it with home + power, back + power or just power. It comes to the same screen.
Will start reading into gold card and what that is/how to make one - saw the term passing by here and there already.
Thanks so far, much appreciated!

It seems I've ended up in one of these loops one cannot get out of - checked out how to make a goldcard (theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/ and some other sites) and basically I need to be able to use ADB in order to get the CID of the card. Problem is that I can only access fastboot, not ADB.
Guess it's game over then?
Would it be possible in any other way to root/flash the phone using fastboot only?

Just attempted to use the fastboot to flash sappimg.zip, giving me the following:
fastboot -s HT95NKF09666 flash zip sappimg.zip
sending 'zip' (63878 KB)... OKAY [ 12.561s]

I did - followed a guide and used an ubuntu bootcd to get the CID off the SD card and successfully made the goldcard. But don't know what to do with it really, since the phone goes straight to the same RUU screen even if I try the 'vol down' + 'power' button boot.
That's why I tried using fastboot to flash the sappimg.zip, goldcard was inserted into the phone at this point. Result is as shown above I think I need a newer version of the sappimg.zip file - any such thing available?
//J

If you can get to fastboot than an RUU install + goldcard can work. From there you can re-root and start fresh. Just pick an RUU suitable for you phone and is rootable afterward.

I think the problem is with my radio version - either it being from an older ROM or somehow it was corrupted.
But just to be sure - how should I do the RUU install + goldcard? Simply insert the goldcard (completely empty otherwise?) and run the latest RUU I have downloaded from HTC using my serial number?
How does the goldcard differ from a regular memory card when performing an RUU install? Isn't the part that messed up in the phones memory?
Thanks
//Joris

yes, just do the RUU exe install. The goldcard is just an SD with a modified header that allows the RUU to ignore any issues with reporting a model id error. You may not even need a goldcard depending on the RUU and what the phone reports. Nothing else special about the goldcard, you can fill it like any other or format later. I left mine alone and used it like normal.

I've tested this with the following RUU versions (and the goldcard inserted):
* RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_HTC_Nordic_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
* RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_2.20.401.2_HTC_Nordic_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
Both these give a bootloader version error. Tried these two:
* RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.1_test_signed_NoDriver.exe
* RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
With those the installation freezes at 36%. I've attached the RUU report file, in case that is of any help?
I could in principle carry on and try every single RUU that's available, but getting increasingly doubtfull that any will work. It simply seems as though either it's a wrong version or something goes wrong when it tries to update the radio, but I don't know why (I mean - it's overwriting whatever's on the phone, isn't it? Why would it freeze? I successfully used the same RUU before I started messing about with rooting and all that to update the phone to latest firmware).
Gah!
*edit*
forgot the file
Also, when it comes to 36%, the screen on the Magic goes black and the LED at the top turns blue...

Maybe try downloading the latest offical RUU from the HTC website, and then try to root it after?

Thanks but I've tried that.... stuck on 36%, "Updating Radio".
I managed to create a complete mismatch it would seem, i.e. the hboot and the radio and the actual main version (it is, according to the RUU updater, on 3.05.401.3 version), so whenever something works, something else doesn't - etc etc. Crap!

Bricked Magic 32B, Any chance of repair?

After installing the latest cyanogen mod my phone started to act sluggishly. So I decided to try and unroot the device, restoring the device to its factory status using fastboot. However, I accidently used the wrong .nbh file for this. I used Sappimg.nbh (which is designed for 32A models). Chaos ensues.
The phone picked up the sappimg and overwrote the system/recovery/spl succesfully, but since it's the wrong image, my phone is bricked. It can still boot, but it will not do anything once you enter your PIN-code, an error pops up after any second of activity, force closing everything. The only thing I am able to do is connect the SD-card to my computer trough quick use of the notification bar. I can't get to my recovery or create a goldcard since it will no longer accept fastboot commands (remote: not allowed error).

Does anyone have any suggestions? I haven't really tried the goldcard method yet, and I have an additional android phone available it this helps in a way.

You can make a GoldCard with the other phone and it will work in your's. You'll need to get an engineering SPL loaded on your phone before you'll be able to reflash the correct SPL. Go the GoldCard route.

Alright, I've created a working goldcard using my spare android phone. I have never used a goldcard before though, and I'm not really sure how to use it. What are the steps nescessary to flash a new spl?

You just need to grab the correct sapping.nbh for your phone, copy it to your goldcard, put the goldcard in your phone, and boot into fastboot pressing back and power. The phone will check the image then tell you to press the trackball to flash if your goldcard is working right.
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App

Using the Sappimg extracted from the Vodafone NL RUU.exe still gives me CID incorrect errors. I have a goldcard inserted; are there certain steps necessary to guarantee its succes? If your pc can still read it after altering the hex values it should be working right?
Meanwhile, I've poked around a bit after booting the phone up, and it turns out I can still get to certain apps, but anything that requires the home screen results in an error that force closes everything, so I can't get into setttings. I can only get to items that are presented in the notification bar like text messages or e-mails. If only I could get to USB-debugging settings I could fastboot my way out of this mess...

I've managed to fix the software part by installing a home replacement app, so I'm good for now; I'll just have to see how I can re-root the device if I want to fix the default launcher I guess

For the incorrect CID, your GoldCard may not be any good. I ran into a problem when I first made mine and it didn't work. I ended up redoing everything, including reobtaining the CID via ADB and it worked the second time around.

Yep, that did the trick! It worked this time, I managed to get the code from my own phone this time through adb, and went through the steps of creating a goldcard again. Thank you, almighty goldcard, my phone is now up and running again Even managed to re-root and re-install cyanogenmod now.

RUU
What can i do to bring him back alive ?
Big thx , Gabi.

First you must flash custom recovery,and then enter it and flash ENG SPL like 1.33.2010, and then you must download eyegor's radio switcher and flash all new and then install new rom

thx for the fast answer
This is my first time , but i still don't know the steps , i am very confused.
I have read about similar situations where goldcard was needed or a RUU solved the problem
If a RUU can solve my problem too it will be great.

Do you have Windows 7 or vista? I think i had same problem i did it on WinXP,which phone do you have Rogers Magic or something else?

I have windows 7 , i found a thread with a similar problem
now i`m trying to do a goldcard but i`m not pretty shure what to do with this after i am done, i just fallow the steps there
I have found 6-7 diferent RUU but only one can actualy see the phone and that is the RUU that actualy did this to my magic , the RUU update stops at the signature ,so with different os i may have a chance?

Here is the thing you can download only 1 RUU from htc site, you must go to country you are from select the right HTC magic i think you are using Rogers magic and then you must enter you S/N there and then you can download it. And install it on winxp. I must ask you something which android do you have 1.5 or 1.6?

I have obtained my htc RUU from my country site but when i try to apply it can't find my device sadly, i think is like you said only works in xp i will try today.
Now i have a goldcard but i dont realy know what to do with him , how can i use it to restore my phone.
Android 2.2 froyo with CyanogenMod 6 was , i was trying to make it to oficial 2.1 with sense

First of all you cant do RUU when you have CM6 it will brick your phone totaly, you must downgrade you phone to original Rogers 1.5 you should batter install some custom made Android made of rogers i created my own,be carefull very carefull.

So in my case is total brick?
How can i downgrade? and witch custom android?

If you want Rogees 2.1 android you just need to change spl (which i can give you,can you enter recovery?and which do you have),second thing is to use eyegor's radio switcher and just press flash new button via fastboot,and the restar to recovery again adn install rogers stock rom with root(which is like original only with root).and i must ask eyegor something so be patient

I can only enter in Fastboot , that is the problem the phone don't allow me to enter in recovery mode.
In my case a goldcard is useful? because i did one following a guide but i don't know how to use it stupid me

I never did goldcard but i know this that you must follow those instructuions if you made a good goldcard you must flash the right eng spl which is 1.33.2010 and if you do that right it will unbrick,and you must then install Custom recovery it is RA's 1.7.0H. When you finish that download eyegore's radio switcher and enter fastboot again and flash new option if do that right then you can boot to recovery and install ROM

1) The reason you don't get connection to the RUUs is because you are in fastboot mode.
RUU needs adb connection mode
2) You have the wrong spl/radio combo. That's why you cannot boot your device to any system. To fix this you have to change the spl to 1.33.20xx version, where the xx can be 05, 09 or 10.
3) Following the logic from option 2 you have a problem!
The spl you have now is a perfected one, meaning you can't do anything with it. So changing only the spl is not possible (as fare as i know :0)
4) Following the logic from option 3 you have to use a goldcard and flash a sappimg.zip or sappimg.nbh.
Both will try to overwrite ALL data on the nand and restore the device to a state where you again have some control over it.
The solution)
You have to make a goldcard and use a combitable sappimg.zip/nbh.
Try this one:
http://rapidshare.com/files/421772202/SAPPIMG.nbh
Put the file on the root of the goldcard. Reboot into hboot or fastboot... let it work... when done restart and post the result here :0)
PS: Give thx to WoblyGoblin because he convinced me to help you out.

Looks like my card is not good for goldcard , i will try tomorrow again with a different card.
PS: BIG thx to both of you for you`r help!

I'm pretty sure your hosed. Once you run an RUU and it fails your stuck with RUU USB until a RUU is ran properly. Which wont happen in your case.

Why wont work in my case?
I think what mumilover told me can be a solution, i must try.

if you have a goldcard, put in your device and flash with RUU rom.
if you didn't have a goldcard, download your original rom from HTC website and flash it
if you have non branded device, choose unbranded rom.
but if you have branded device, choose your branded rom.
i was semi brick (stuck in RUU mode) my device twice, and this solution working well for me

[Q] Need help!! i think i semi bricked My HTC MAGIC

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.

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

Turn phone off. Turn on by pressing Back + Power (it's fastboot mode). Write here first 5 rows. All symbols are important.
In fastboot-mode check command:
fastboot devices (it it would return serial number - connection is fine)
p.s. You can find fastboot.exe in Android SDK Tools package

As you have 32A Magic, you can upgrade to new hboot/radio combination, then downgrade (if you want)

p.s. Goldcard is important (without it you can not process through upgrade)

So the problem i got is that theres no goldcard?
How would flashing another rom help me i cant flash it with no recovery.
I have fastbootcomander but i cant use that couse of s on, and i cant push any files there adb couse its on a ready only file mod.
Trying to understand
I forgot to menchen that my phone is not deticketing the sdcard i cant mount it and tge card is fine sorry about that .

OMG . There are too many problems together...
Ok. Try to understand what can happen...
1.
You need create goldcard. Search for kingston or transcend sd-card. Make goldcard from it. You can use any Android-phone from HTC. You can ask friends.
2.
I think that problem "no sdcard detection" depends on radio stuck. But when you will run RUU - it does not use sdcard at first step (probably). RUU will try change phone into RUU-mode to flash images.
But. Even if RUU would flash new hboot and radio, it might stuck when flashing ROM (system image), cause at this moment RUU compares CID from phone with CIDs from ROM. Different CIDs will get error and phone will stuck at RUU-mode.

I see ,ill make a goldcard and flash the ruu and see what happens. Thanks alot bud for your help ill keep it updated if all gose well

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. Solve it. Install Htc Sync, it has drivers. The best configuration - have 32bit Windows XP.
2. Additionaly, you can boot into fastboot-mode (back + power), then run Ruu. But drivers are more important.
P.s. in rare cases there are problems with usb-cable (when it is not stock), or with usb-port (rear usb-port 2.0 is preffered).

Look at december's post. You wrote about 3.05.401.3
What exactly do you have? 401.3 or 401.1 ???
