Hi Everyone
I must apologize if this is a annoying beginner question but I have a problem with my HTC Magic.
I attempted to load the Fatality Hero ROM onto my HTC Magic phone. I already had the daldroid ROM running on it but wanted to try out the Hero ROM. I followed the procedure as described by individuals on the web (and I have done it before to get the daldroid ROM working). The phone was working fine with adb. I followed the following steps:
- I Selected ‘Nandroid Backup 2.1′ from the menu.
- Then selected ‘Wipe Data/factory reset’.
- Then ‘Apply sdcard:update.zip’. (The update.zip file was the fatality Hero ROM)
- I then selected ‘reboot system now’.
The phone went to the flash screen and got stuck there very very long. I then went back to flashboot but now the phone does not show up on adb devices list. This was when I just used adb to load the new ROM.
What can I do to get back into my phone? I can see fastboot and hboot. I just cant use adb anymore
This is what is displayed in fastboot:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Please is there anyone that can help me? And sorry if this is a obvious problem but I cant find a solution anywhere.
Sorry for the double post. An update on my situation.
I tried getting everything working in UBUNTU and the system still picks up the phone with a strange device id (not the 0bb4: 0c02 or 0bb4: 0c03 everyone refer to but a device id 0bb4: 0fff) and it still does not show up in the adb device list.
I have tried getting it to work on 3 different windows machines and 1 linux machine and no love. Is there anyone out there that can help me with this?
So I have bought a HTC Magic in Singapore about a year ago.
Some of the information about my phone before it got stucked in HTC Magic power-on screen:

I found a site that helped me to get my phone rooted as follow:

Soon after, I started searching for new ROM elsewhere and managed to update my SPL to 1.33.2007 and that's where problem starts to occur..
My phone get stucked on HTC Magic screen display forever.
I was eager to get this problem solved and have not done enough research before I got myself in a worse situation with the phone hbooted like this:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A SHIP S-ON G

Now I can only enter hboot and fastboot.
Can somebody help me to at least get back to my original ROM? I don't wanna root my phone ever again..
Help please~
If you can get into fastboot you're fine. Just flash 32A radio/spl again and then the desired ROM. Old radio/spl - 1.33.X/3.22.X New radio/spl 1.76.X/6.35.
yeah when turning on the phone hold home and power, if you get the recovery menu then you got nothing to worry about, just flash the proper rom and all will be fine, there is even a stock htc rom with root around here.
right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622038
but you dont have to go back to stock, you just need to put on a rom that fits your phone. i personally suggest this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654284
so good luck post back when you get it figured out
Thank you Reziukas and sike89 for the reply..
I will try the ROM recommended in the links. =)
I cannot get into recovery (-Home- & -Power-) now due to the perfected SPL (1.33.0006).
And whenever I use the goldcard method that flooded over the internet, I always get this "Main version is older!" failure message.
I think I have made the goldcard correctly cause it worked while I was trying to flash my 1.76.0007 SPL to 1.76.2007.
Any idea?
when you hold home and power what does it do?
did you root your phone with the recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img?
I did but after I flashed RADIO-2.22.19.26I with SPL 1.33.0006 I can't get into this recovery mode anymore.
When I press Home and Power, it starts booting but stucked on HTC Magic screen forever..
Easily said it, I can only enter hboot (vol down and power) and fastboot (back and power) now..
Procedure
1.Turn your phone off. Turn it on by holding Back and Power, or Vol. down and Power. Either way, boot into the bootloader.
You should see the three Androids on skateboards, and the menu title should say "Fastboot".
2.Connect your device to the computer. The display on your phone should now say "Fastboot USB".
3.Open up the shell/terminal on your computer, and type
fastboot devices [enter]Your device should be listed with it's serial number, and should say "fastboot".
4.Change directory to where you have saved your recovery image. I.e. type "cd /path/to/recovery.img in windows prompt, press enter.
5.You may issue a "dir" command (Windows) or "ls" (Unix/Linux) to make sure you are at the right directory, or just skip this step.
6.Type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Check your phone's display, as recovery is being sent and flashed to your device.
Check your command prompt/shell to make sure the process is over.
i got all that from Binary100100 who got it from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/RE-recovery-img
give that a shot
also maybe this might help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4066552&postcount=2
I seem like I cannot use the fastboot command in 1.33.0006 SPL??
Whenever I type a fastboot command and press enter, I always get an error message.
>> ... FAILED (remote: not allow)
Do we have any windows application that can help to bypass all checking on the phone stats and proceeds with fastboot flash directly?
Perfected spl, you need to make yourself a goldcard
Goldcard doesn't seem to work..
Whenever I try to flash a new radio, it prompted me an error message "Main version is older!"..
What to do?
when it says main version is older it means you need the goldcard.
do you have a working goldcard? if not use this
http://revskills.de/downloads/psas.zip it will make the gold card.
No need for phone?
Hello there.
I was reading this thread and I'm having a similar problem.
I have a question, sike89.
Is it possible to create the goldcard just with the software you mentioned?
My magic 32a will only go into fastboot (stuck at splash screen) and so
I won't be able to use my phone to create the card.
Thanks!
As mentioned by YamatoDelgato, I cannot boot up my phone and thus far I am unable to re-create a goldcard.
But this "goldcard" I am using right now was a working goldcard and I am surprised that it doesn't work all the times..
By the way, I found an alternative on internet saying that you can use other HTC Magic phone to create a goldcard for your phone; Although I am not sure if its gonna work out, just give it a shot..
Sike89, am I right to say that this application does not require any HTC phone in order to create a goldcard?
I can just format my SD card using PC and input the necessary information into the application to create goldcard, is it true?
Problem Solved...with a Sacrifice.
Well I managed to get my phone booting again.
I have a rogers phone so I used their "mandatory"
update (2 sappimgs) to get my phone working again.
However, this resulted in getting the dreaded
SPL 1.76.0010 meaning I can't root it easily.
However, I know that with a working
phone that I now have, I could use it to obtain
a gold card.
Boy that was scary!
I'm so scared to try rooting again but I probably will hehe !
Thanks to xda community and google search!
I lost my original nandroid backup but did manage to install an original ROM on my 32B (Vodafone). Took some work but it worked Afterwards I wrote a tutorial about it (google How to restore your custom ROMed HTC Magic (Vodafone 32B) – a walk through, I can't post links yet).
Hi everyone!
I'm terribly sorry if I write something that's been solved. But i searched throughout this forum as well as the internet, and I'm desperatedly turning to you guys,
because I'm completely lost
So I have two HTC Magic, the one writes in fastboot:
32A SHIP S-ON H
H-BOOT-1.76.0009
CPLD-12
the other:
(As I know) is a 32B (but that's all I know so far) because when I turn it on, it only shows the vodafone logo and hangs forever...
Yes I tried to boot up with "volume-down" button, tried with "home" button, with "back" button, and also with "home"+"back" buttons; I tried to take out the battery for 10-20 minutes, but it always shows the vodafone splash screen...
UPDATE Now I remember what happened to 32B Magic: I tried to flash the recovery via fastboot
bit it sad "FAILED (remote not allow)" I found out, that maybe I have perfected SPL. Than I followed this "[How-To] Fix perfected SPL (fastboot remote: not allow)" tutorial here in xda-devs,
and after I flashed the ROM "v2.16.151.1", happened this splash screen mis(t)ery... Could it be, it's bricked?:S Was it the wrong ROM? How should I have known which is good??
And just in case I have an other problem with the 32A one as well. I followed the "TheUnlockr.com one click root" tutorial, ok, at least i tried, but when I try to flash the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img in recovery flasher in the phone it says:
"Backup FAILED: Could not run command."
PLEASE! SOMEONE! HELP! I have these two great phones for... almost nothing. I'm totally desperate...
Is saying a "go to hell" or a "you are totally dumb" so hard?
it's already 88 views... I don't think noone has a helpful or useless advice.
You and i are in the same boat. I just ran into the same issue today. Lemme know if you figured it out i'm dying to find out also. Hopefully someone here has the correct answer.
For the one that won't boot into fastboot (back+power), hboot (volume down+power), recovery (home+power), or the regular OS, you've bricked your phone.
I have no experience with the one-click root method so I'm not going to comment on the other.
I can tell you, I spent some weeks with searching, and there is no exact answer... not until some competent and experienced volunteers start to move their asses and look after these tiny losers, us. I say sorry to those "volunteers" for the previous expression...

Thanks for your reply DonJuan692006, that was the answer I was afraid of...
Ok, I consider that the one which hangs is bricked (oh hell).
But what is with my other problem?
Again: On the 32A the Recovery Flasher says "Backup FAILED: Could not run command." I tried to flash the recovery via fastboot USB but it sad "FAILED (remote not allow)"
So the question is: Is it something with the SPL? Do I need to flash a sappimg.nbh with goldcard? If yes which one should I flash exactly?
Again: PLEASE!!! I know there are a bunch of guys out there who know these issues and their potential solutions.
UPDATE:
I solved the issue with the 32A by following a guide from wiki.cyanogenmod.
Well, if surely noone has a word about my (other) bricked HTC, I consider this case as closed...
To be honest, i have no idea what i was doing, but i ended up with a 32A radio and SPL, and now my MyTouch 1.2 won't boot.
It WILL boot in fastboot and hboot
It WONT boot in recovery or regularly
I have tried "fastboot erase radio" (and erasing cache), i have tried the stock MyTouch 1.2/Fender "sappimg.zip" but none have gotten past flashing the Radio, it stops when the little red bar is about 97% full.
Tried logcat, but apparently it doesn't work in fastboot mode :-/
Can anyone help?
It is now at:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-6.35.16.19---->(won't change no matter what i flash)
Jun 2 2009, 17:27:03
Fastboot USB
EDIT:
Ok, now when i try booting regularly (or just pop the battery in) the phone shows the bright green "MyTouch3G" screen, but with the words "FASTBOOT USB" in the uppermost left-hand corner, where the word "SAPPHIRE" would be in normal fastboot mode.....really weird. SERIOUSLY hoping someone has an idea....
BUMP: Guys, this is really urgent. I have been searching all over XDA, Google, and the CM forums, but haven't found any procedures that work. This thread has been up for almost 17 hours, and has 69 views (lol) but no replies.
This is REALLY urgent, and I am trying to be as calm as possible, so i can get some help.
PLEASE post any ideas you may have.
Are you seeing anything on the screen besides "fastboot USB"? It really sounds like you messed with it until you REALLY got it hosed. Does your computer still recognize the phone by running "fastboot devices" in ADB?
Yeah, computer recognizes fastboot, i can flash everything EXEPT radio. That's the problem. When i try to flash a radio ".img" file, the second (RED) progress bar gets stuck right before it finishes flashing, and stays like that until i pull the battery, when it says "Flash FAILED (too many links)" or something like that.
Is it possible i damaged the radio partition or something? Can it be repaired?

Please answer the other question.
Well actually, now it shows the regular MyTouch slashcreen, not "Fastboot USB" at the top anymore. And I'm talking about a regular boot. Like i previously said, fastboot works fine except flashing a radio.
OK, so what are you showing when you boot into fastboot? Do you have a working goldcard?
Yes, i have a working goldcard, and at the moment, the phone shows:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G

RADIO-6.35.16.19

Thanks in advance for all your help, bro.
Alright, think I know what you did wrong. You need to reflash the sappimg that got you here:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP31000)
It may fail trying to update the radio because it's the same version you already have. If you get back to S-OFF, then try flashing the radio.img from fasboot. If it work your good to go, just need to finish flashing everything. Remember, flash in the following order (after getting back to S-OFF):
radio
hboot
recovery
Let me know what happens after you try flashing the sappimg again.
If you need anything you can get them from here:
sappimg.zip for myTouch 1.2 only
radio.img for myTouch 1.2 only
hboot.nb0 for myTouch 1.2 only
Amon Ra 1.7.0-G Recovery
TBH, I flashed the 32A SPL and Radio separately, it wasn't the 2010 that got me the 6.xx radio.
I'll try anyway, thanks.
EDIT: Ok, flashed back to the 2010 Engineering SPL, and tried to flash the "radio.img" first (using RadioSwitcherGUI v4.1), and got:
flashing "radio"- PLEASE WAIT
"radio" flash- FAILED
and with Fastboot:
Sending radio....OKAY
(and gets stuck on..) flashing radio............
At this point the phone is sitting next to me frozen trying to update the radio, but the red status bar froze right before it finished.
I've tried wiping the radio partition, and all other partitions (except the "bootloader" partition, even I'M not that stupid ), and tried it again, but it froze again on the red status bar, in the same spot.
(In case you dont know, there are two steps, a GREEN status bar, showing fastboot uploading the "radio.img" file to the phone, and the RED status bar, showing its progress with the flash).
BUMP: (see update above)
EDIT:
Ok, my mom decided to call T-Mobile and get me a replacement device, and apparently they ran out of MyTouch's, so they are going to send me a free Motorola Cliq (SWEET, physical keyboard!)
I do have a question though, is it safe to send it back with fastboot saying a different SPL and Radio version than it shipped with? or should i erase all partitions?
Actually you can fix it VERY easily.
What you had is a known problem..
To fix it you first have to match the radio and spl versions..
Then you can change your radio...
So... to fix:
flash 1.76.2007 spl to match the radio...
Then you change both radio and spl to a good combo for your phone.. e.g.:
spl= 1.33.2010, radio = 2.22.23.02, recovery= Amon RA G-version...
When this is done... the last thing is to flash the system/android system..
This can be done from fastboot using img files or done from the custom recovery using normal rom.zip!
This has been answered like 5-8 times before my me alone. not to mention the others...
I hope that it works out for you :0)
Some info regarding the above:
The spl has internal info about where the different partitions on the nand are located. When you try to flash the radio and you have a bad combo, the spl tries to flash the radio on bad partition table and it will fail...
But when you flash the spl it will succedes due that the spl is always located on the SAME partition and actually has the same size (512 kb).
Using the good combo... you can then change both spl and radio to match the system..
This is only my thoughts about the issue and not exact facts... it's more complicated than that :0)
Well to be honest i don't WANT to fix it anymore, since I'm getting a new phone, but i need to know if i can send it back with the 2010 SPL and 6.xx radio without any problems from T-Mobile?
Then just erase all partitions..
It will not even turn on...
Code:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase data
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase radio
fastboot erase hboot
This should be epic
Thanks!
EDIT: BWAHAHAHA IT IS DEAD! (Sorry, i get a little nutty sometimes).
what about this
i have
T-mobile my touch 3g 3.5mm
Sapphire PVT 32a ship s-on h
Hboot-1.76.0009(sapp31000)
CPLD-13 radio-6.35.08.29
ruu
wrong flashing RUU..and stuck here,,radio and SPL are match ..
and i can't do anything, fastboot remote not allowed.
trying flashing with RUU again and stuck when unzipping system at 81%..
any advice for me?..
what does it mean fail-iE..when flashing boot.
wow thank you so much. just spent the last 3 hours searching for this and thanks to you i just fixed the mytouch issue. thank you again.
I’m having a problem using my phone, it seems to be semi-bricked.
Phone Details:
HTC Magic 32A – bought in Singapore (SingTel)
CID: HTC__023
HBOOT: 1.76.0008 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12.
RADIO-6.35.08.29
ROM: None (it was the latest CyanogenMod before it got erased)
Problem:
I tried flashing an incorrect RUU ROM on my phone and now it is stuck on the fastboot screen. Here is what I see when I press the power button:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.0008 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.08.29
Nov 3 2009, 15:56:29
RUU
At the bottom of the screen there is an image of a microchip and a red hexagon with two crosses.
When I plug-in the phone to my computer "RUU" changes to "RUU USB".
The only command I can run from the cmd prompt is "fastboot". ADB does not work and I don't seem to be able to browse to my sdcard.
What I Have Tried So Far:
1. I have tried using the “fastboot” command to boot and flash images, radios, and hboots. Nothing works. Either my cmd prompt hangs or it just says “FAILED”.
2. I downloaded a variety of stock RUU ROMs. The Singapore/Philippine ROMs seemed to work but then I got the error “BOOTLADER VERSION ERROR”. With all other ROMs I got the Customer ID error.
3. I tried to make a goldcard, but the steps to make one requiring being able to use the “adb” command and whenever I try this it says “daemon starting” and then “error: device not found” (or something similar). So, I am unable to find the CID of my SD card and I am unable to make a “goldcard”.
What I Want To Do:
My phone was originally rooted and working fine. I was going to sell it to someone so I thought I would flash the stock Sense UI. I guess along the way I made a mistake and now it seems to be bricked.
Please note that I have tried steps 1 to 3 and they do not work. I have gone through hundreds of threads on XDA and other forums. Clearly, I need to figure out a new way of doing this.
If you could help me get it working (in any way, shape or form) I would be helpful.

More help :0)
I need the version to assess the state of the device.
I could be a simple reflash or some solution. But need to know what version you are on now.
You could spare yourself some time by doing a goldcard... just to be sure :0)

Ok thanks. Will give you the information when I can do it.
As I mentioned I am unsure how to do a goldcard if I cannot access the adb command. Basically, I can't do anything on my phone so how am I supposed to do the adb command?

That nr. is for HTC Austria test-signed.
You need Singapore/Phillippines WWE... but the newest for you cid nr is 3.03.707.5.
The only solution for your problem is to make a goldcard...
You can make a goldcard on ANY android phone... it will work for your phone also.
Thanks. But, I only have the one Android phone and my friends don't have any. Is there any way to make a goldcard without the Android phone?
Thanks
Nop... ANDROID as far as i know.
Thanks, but I guess my device is effectively bricked then
ok I managed to get a spare Android device and create a goldcard. Now what do I do?
Are you still looking for help?

Thanks for replying. Yes I do. Basically I created a goldcard using my GS2. I think I did everything that I had to do and the goldcard is visible on my computer so I think it works.
Basically, what steps do I have to take now?
Thanks

1)rename the first file to sappimg.zip
2)put it on the goldcard
3)start in hboot mode (hold volume - together with power. '-' = volume decrease)
4)The device should restart into fastboot by it self, then power it down. If not just power it down when its done flashing.
5)rename the second file to sappimg.zip
6)put it on the goldcard (overwrite the old file if you have to)
7)start in hboot mode (hold volume - together with power. '-' = volume decrease)
8)Once done flashing, just restart into the system as a normal boot.
9) This should boot up a stock nordic rom. From there you should follow my root guide found in my signature. Do the custom recovery and eng spl.
10)come back here when all steps are done.

Thanks for the response a few things:
Firstly, would you mind posting the file elsewhere (either MediaFire, Dropbox, or XDA-FTP itself). Unfortunately, rapidshare is blocked in Singapore.
Secondly, my phone only boots into the white fastboot screen, no matter what I press or do. I am not near my phone right now (and will test this method later), but I am fairly confident it won’t boot into hboot mode.
Again thanks for the response and hopefully it will work!
While we're on the same topic, I have the exact same problem as the OP, I've got no recovery and only have access to fastboot and hboot, problem is in the details:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT 1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO 6.35.10.18
and after running the getvar command as the expert suggested, my version is this:
2.10.531.4
I've tried what I assumed to be everything, I try pushing new radio and recovery images through fastboot, but it just won't work since I have the damn S-ON thing. And every SAPPIMG i find seems to just outright fail. Either it says incorrect Model ID, or in one case the damn thing flashed the locked hboot (put me in an even bigger pickle) and then hung at flashing the new radio. After 2 hours of it hanging, I gave up. Any advice would be appreciated, it's a friends phone and I said I'd do him a favor by rooting it (as I have rooted several android devices before) but I had no idea this device would be this difficult. I do have a goldcard.
I just tried the first sappimg file in your answer post, and it once again told me incorrect Model ID I don't know how much it matters, but I have the Mytouch 3G with the 3.5mm headphone jack.
T-MOB010 is my CID
