Rebooting problems with Magic - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Hi you guys!
I hope you can help me...

I tried to change my Perfected SPL by following the "How To: Root Your MyTouch 3G (GoldCard Method)" from The Unlockr, since others methods didn't work for my Perfected SPL! I updated to 1.33.2010, it was the only SappIMG that worked, and followed the goldcard-method to the end.
Problem:
When I turn on my phone, the HTC screen loads, the new Android logo appears, and I get “SIM card is locked”.. I type in my normal Pin-code, and immedealy after gets a “Sorry! Process system is not responding”-message! I can choose between: Force Close & Wait, but under that window another window is open. It says: "Sorry! The process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". No matter what I press or do it reboots over and over again, but always gives me those "Sorry!" screens!
I am desperate, because I was so close for making my phone Rooted, so I could install a Hero ROM!
What should I do? Is there a way to go directly on loading a ROM now, or a way to get a working phone? Please help me!
- Martin

so try and take the sim lock of the card and when its install put sim lock back on

I think something has given me other clues!
I tried to take out my SD-card (not the Gold-card), and I was able skip the activation and get to my Home-screen!
I tried to plug in my SD-card while having it turned on, and it accepted the SD-card. However, when i try to use camera/video/loading music from the SD card, i get a "Sorry! process com.android.camera etc" note.
I am not able to plug in the SD-card before booting the phone. I tried to plug in my Goldcard, start the phone, and it worked. But the notificationbar told me it was destroyed, as expected!
Well, I have got a rooted phone, with half of my apps not working! I was going to install a hero ROM! Could I install that directly now?
TheUnlockr says in "How to load a custom ROM/Hero ROM" that: This method requires that you used OUR super easy 1 click method of rooting on your MyTouch or G1 BEFORE doing this procedure!
Does that mean I should unroot - root - and load a Hero ROM?

hey, how did u skip the registration?...i dont have service anymore but i still want to use the phone for other things..thank you in advance

SOLVED!
Everything is solved!
For those interested:
I took out my SD-card, and I was able skip the activation just by pushing SKIP all the way to my Home-screen!
I tried to plug in my SD-card while having it turned on, and it accepted the SD-card. I couldn't get on to my Google Account and I thought it would be best to get back to cupcake 1.5 - then root - and then load a rom!
Downloaded the "RUU_Sapphire_Rogers_WWE_2.17.631.2_release_signed_NoDriver" and got it back to cupcake by pluging out my SD card. I got the same problems on the homescreen - forceclosing programs and no Google account login. Market won't load without Google Account and I needed a file explorer to be able to work with flash recovery. Sent the Linda.apk to my mail, went on WIFI, downloaded it, extracted, and followed the rest of TheUnlockrs guides to get a Hero ROM! IT ROCKS, FINALLY FREEDOM!
bg80018: I am afraid that I didn't do anything clever except for pluging out my SDcard! When it was in there was nothing I could do.. I am not an expert, but perhaps another clean install of your ROM would help? (experts, stop me if i am wrong ) well, I will check the next week if anyone needs questions answered, otherwise I am going to play with my phone for the rest of my life now!

Rogers magic update freeze/brick

Hello all,
As many of you know Rogers issued an update for 911 issues and sense ui just recently, unfortunately as I attempted the update via SD card method, the first update seemed to have gone well but after once it wanted to reboot it keeps on splashing the ROGERS over and over.
I'm thinking this is most likely because I am rooted and the process just didn't agree.
I am currently running amon ra's 1.2.3 rec. img
with amon ra's 1.6 rom
32A motherboard
BTW I still get to boot when I hold end+vol down
and when I hold end+home I get amon ra's screen but is quickly taken away after a few seconds.
Any help would be much appreciated.

good news and bad news.
good news, im pretty damn sure thats not a brick as you can still get into fastboot (the vol down + power)((atleast thats what i think fastboot is))
bad news, i dunno how to fix it.
i know theres a way to revert to original stock ROM via fastboot, so im sure it is fixable. don't know about custom ROMs via fastboot.
bed time, though. good luck, man, and dont get bummed cause im 99% sure you aren't just plain ****ed.
edit: just noticed screenie, but can't see it because my girlfriends retarded wanna-be stepdad decides to look at pr0n all night and continues to install "mywebsearch" **** and i can't get to it. :/
Hopped on my mytouch, still think your good but let someone else who knows more vertify that.
another option
one other thing you can do,
go to a rogers store, and tell them you tried applying the so called essential upgrade 'b/c you care about your safety' and the '911 issue is a important fix'. tell them you recieved instructions to do w/e it is using the SD card method.
basically, you tried the update ---> phone got messed up.
i know someone else did it and it was grounds for them just giving you a new phone.
not saying 100% it'll work, but its worth it b/c you get a new device with the new ROM on it if it does.
goodluck.

Can you clarify which SD card method? Was it using the official DREAIMG.nbh from Rogers?
I thought that I had bricked my phone because I went for a hail mary attempt to root my phone. But unfortunately it wouldn't get past the Rogers screen.
However, after talking to a CSR, they sent me a link to the Windows 7 file and it rewrote everything back onto my phone and I was able to boot it normally again.
@r3s-rt
Ya, thanks. I figured I wasn't completely boned.
@mbk.2k3
I thought about that but when I go home+end you can see I'm using amon ra, which would mean they know I rooted and therefore void my warranty

I had the same problem while installing the new update yesterday. I had to call Rogers to guide me through it and even he couldn't figure it out. My phone just kept rebooting over and over after installing the first update. Even in recovery mode it didn't give me a chance to wipe, flash or restore anything because it would reboot in a matter of 2 seconds. The tech support guy on the phone had no idea what to do. I finally realised that I had a seperate Mini SDcard USB adapter that I could put my SDcard in and then plug into the USB. That allowed me to access my SDcard so I was able to delete the first SAPPIMG and then put the new SAPPIMG from the second update onto the SDcard. I repeated the same process from the first update (I was able to access fastboot without it rebooting), everything installed perfectly and now the phone is up and running great. If you don't have a Mini SDcard to USB adapter I'd suggest picking one up at your nearest Electronics store. I believe I picked mine up at BestBuy for $35 which came with a 4gb class 4 SDcard. The adapter is so small that it actually sits on my key-chain. Hope this helps.

if you're desperate it's worth a try. maybe it's just my personal experience with them but i have a feeling most of the rogers reps/techs wouldn't know/care enough.

I'll give it a shot.
Were you rooted before?

I was rooted before, this is why I'm sure I've had the same problem as many of you. It seems though that this issue doesn't just stop at us... This issue has been happening with many other carriers and I'm not sure why (as of yet). I've flashed dozens of other Sense ROM's and even ROM's without Sense for ei. Espresso and Eclair and they all worked fine before. This new Sense ROM from Rogers is fantastic. So try what I did and you should be on your way with no issues.
Now if only we can root this damn phone.

After the update your phone won't be rooted anymore, therefor your warranty will still be in effect. After flashing the first update it already changes your SPL and Radio therefor Rogers wouldn`t know if you were rooted prior to the update. If you stuck in the boot loop just follow my instructions and you will be home free.
Now if only we can root this damn phone.

Just did what you did and I'm up and running!
Thanks
I think they did misname the updates though.
Because in the instructions given, and picture above correspond to the 2nd zip file.

Happy to hear that I could help. They did misname the files but how could you blame someone who goes by the name of Rogers. I have several services with them and it's nothing but headaches with them.
I'm sure it was a rushed update as well. The devs at HTC were probably pressed for time to get this update up and out the door within a couple of days. Rogers will possibly be a major distributor for them in the next upcoming years.
Thanks a lot!
That solved it.
Anyone been able to root this ROM yet..?? I have tryed everything and I just keep semi bricking my phone.. but I can always recover it.

Need help I have tried everything

Hi guys, I'm pretty new here so I hope someone can help me.

Since getting the phone second hand from eBay it has played up like nothing else, it now will not even boot into the OS, I’m pretty sure the guy I bought it from, who I cannot get in contact with, stuffed something up when he unlocked it for different carriers. But I'm positive it is an OS issue and not a straight hardware fault.
Anyway I have spent about a day and a half mucking about on here trying things and reading a HEAP of stuff and I just can’t seem find a definitive answer to my problem.
I have tried installing many different roms:
Qteknology Hero (WWE Dump) for G2 Magic-Voda 32B v1.7 Swap
Qteknology Hero (WWE Dump) for G2 Magic-Voda 32B v1.6 Swap.zip
st0kes-v1.4.1
HTC_Magic_Vodafone_AU_Original_ROM
and a few others I cannot remember.
I am using Amon RA recovery ROM, I have rooted the phone based on method 2 in the magic rooting wiki (everything went smoothly), I have updated the SPL to version 2005 which are all the apparent pre requisites for performing this kind of operation.
Anyway down to the problem every time I try and apply a ROM, by renaming it to update.zip, copying it to the root of my SD card, then loading up RA recovery ROM and going to flash zip from SDcard I get the following messages:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Install from sdcard...
finding update package...
opening update package...
verifying update package...
E:corrupt file:
<various file names based on which ROM I’m trying to use, always the same one on each ROM though>
E:verification failed
Installation aborted
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This is starting to drive me insane, I really need to get ANY usable ROM on there I don’t care which one, otherwise I have a AU$400 lump of useless technology.
Any help people can provide me with be unbelievably appreciated.
Thanks in advance
i cant guarantee i can help, but i will try to see if i can, or also help wit some research for ya
first, what version of amon ra are you using???
2nd, do you know if you got 1.5 or 1.6 firmware???
idk too much about firmware, all i know is my mytouch was cupcake when i got it (1.5) then updated to 1.6 ota...
also are you making sure that you wipe before you try to load the roms???
Hi mate, thanks for getting back to me so quickly
The version of amon ra i am using is recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img this seemed to be the right one as i have a google branded phone
I am not sure what version of firmware i have, is there an easy way to check? the only real details I have is what i get from the fastboot screen as i posted above
And yes I am definately wiping the phone before I install the roms, every single time
Thanks
well i just did a few searches and i couldn't find out how to check the firmware...
i dont want to tell you to try something and then crash your system, but...lol...
i would try to "Unroot" the device, basically placing it back to 1.5 firmware and then you can "Root" it yourself.
if you want to try this here is the link for the 1.5 software
link for tutorial:
http://theunlockr .com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/
link for file:
http://www.megaupload .com/?d=BLM4EDGE
no space in the url tho...
all you have to do is,
boot into recovery
go to wipe, and wipe the top three options
go back to the main screen and select Usb-Ms toggle
then plug your device in via usb
and drop the file to your sd card. (not in a sub folder)
then safely remove your phone from pc
then press home on your phone to disable usb
then choose power off.
now to turn it back on,
holding Volume "Down" + "Power"
DON'T PRESS ANYTHING YET
after it reads the image it should show at the bottom, Action:yes, and then click trackball,
let that run all the way thru, and make sure you have enough battery juice, for this to run all the way thru.
when it's complete it will ask if you want reboot, then click Action for yes (trackball)
i believe that should unroot your phone but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
do as much research as possible and also question others about this method and see if you can come to a conclusion in which you are satisfied.
as always, i am in no way responsible for the Bricking or Exploding of your device...
here is a link that has great tutorials & and also you might want to check youtube, thats where i findout how to alot of things...
Um, you already have amon ra recovery on there. I assume you've already bought it rooted?
You can only check the firmware by booting up your phone and going into settings. Since you've wiped and aren't able to install a rom, you aren't able to use the phone right now, am i correct?
sanman1185, I'm glad you try to help but you gotta get more info from him first. Cause if he's already rooted, doing what you're telling him to do won't make much progress. Edit: Ok, he's already rooted. You're just telling him to do what he's already done? And he doesn't have any firmware because his phone lacks any rom right now.
Anyways, answer some of those and don't be too worried about bricking your phone. The main reason that people brick their phones is when they touch the radio and SPL.
Edit: Ok I just read that you rooted your phone so you don't need to "unroot" and root it again.
You also put on SPL 2005 instead, so post your boot info again. I assume it's an ENG SPL too, if you haven't found a solution, send me a PM and I'll help you on google talk / MSN or something.
Ps. You don't have to rename the roms to update.zip, his new recovery allows you to flash w/e zip you want. Try another SD card as well, maybe that'll help? but if not, yeah just pm me
KAwAtA - def. understand what your sayin, only reason i was thinkin to unroot and start fresh is cuz, when i started flashin roms, i ended up being stuck on the boot screen for over 30mins. pulled the battery, then read somewhere to partition sd card, then that wiped the zip from my card, lol...so what i did instead of placing another rom on the device, is "unrooted" and started fresh from the start. my theory is if you think your "Jack'd" then start from the beginning and find your mistake.
and if he did unroot and it ran Cupcake on device, and actually loaded wouldn't that have been making progress??? since he couldnt get it to load in the first place???
like i said just a thought, theory, or 2centz (sense)...
but again, i'm glad someone actually responded with a diff method or with additional ?'s, so this way he can get answers from all angle's ya kno...
and if you guys do figure this nifty lil'thang out, could you post what you guys did on here, so myself or future ppl'z that may run into this can have it as a ref??? thnx... Pce

Bricked mytouch 3g possibly!!

So i hope this is the right place to ask. I updated the radio to 6.xx and the spl to 1.33.0013 and now i cant boot my custom rom or access the recovery screen, but i can access fastboot. Ive tryed flashing a new radio, recovery etc from the sdk cmd promt and no luck, keeps saying remote: not allow. IS there anything i can do from the fastboot to get my phone back. Sorry if this is realy noobish. Ive searched for 3 days and i've had no luck. PLEASE HELP ME

You are ok untill now..You have not bricked your phone....you can still recover it using fast boot or recovery...
serach for the correct topic on this fourm...you will surely get info
Ive tryed everything in fastboot and i cant get into recovery. If i could i would have fixed it by now
Tried Goldcard method as well?
I cant do a goldcard again. I cant access the operating system. I cant access the recovery screen. Al i can do is access fastboot. And from there i just get remote: not allow when i try to modify things. I just need a BIG reset button on this phone. Im hitting my head so hard against the wall trying to figure this out. I try to read up but everywhere you go its something different and its all soooooooo confusing. No one makes nay sense
If this is a bad place to ask this, please tell me. My head hurts and im very frustrated because i followed someones write up step by step and i got screwed over. I know it can be fixed!
OK dude, just breathe. By looking at your SPL you've got the myTouch 1.2 (the one with the 3.5mm jack) so you've got o use the goldcard method which is done through hboot and fastboot, if you can get one you can get the other. Let me get to a computer and we'll fix your problem. In the mean time post back and let me know your still here.

You need to fastboot an engineering spl first.
I believe 1.33.2010 should do it.
Flash back to the operator's ROM and start all over again; safest approach if you are having a difficult time understanding how to troublshoot your problem.
I try to load a new sippimg.img ( from my understanding that a new spl) And everytime i load it, it says model id wrong and fails to load.
And in fast boot i cant load anything new cause i get the remote: not allow.
How am i suppose to create a gold card another gold card without having access to the phones main operating system?
I just went to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019 and followed that and wasnt able to load the recovery image cause because remote: not allow. So im stuck
Try using this.
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
I cant create a new gold card, i cant access the phone I created one before but it still gives me a the wrong mode ID code. And i cant do adb because i cant turn on USB debugging since i cant access the phone.
I followed the steps in the link. I loaded the sappimg.img and it loaded it but didnt ask to confirm the install, but it did show a loading bar and when it was completed it never said anything about restarting or anything. It just detected it, loaded it and then nothing. So after that i tryed to load the spl, radio and recovery and it still gave me remote: not allow.
It seems my gold card somehow undid its self. I need to figure out how to make one without being able to access the actual phone options. I realy do appreciate you guys helping!!!! If this gets fixed ill kiss all of you. JK!
How long have you had your phone?
3 days But i didnt buy through t-mobile, so no warranty for me
The only other option I can think of is to see if a friend with the same phone can let you borrow his. Luckily the stuff you need to do isn't phone specific, it's only specific to the SD card, so you can remake it with another phone and then use it to finish your's.
I believe the CID that you get (that ridiculously long number you have to copy) is specific to the SD card. I just swapped the goldcard I made for my phone into my wife's and the CID remained the same. Just not sure if using a different model phone will work.
You don't happen to have the CID still do you?

I still have all the emails for when i originally made a gold card and the goldcard.img.
You can try doing the steps in Hex Editor, where you copy the lines from the goldcard image over to your SD card again. Then try flashing the sappimg again and see what you get.
On it! :cross fingers:
I did all the Hex editor stuff. And i still get Wong model ID when i try to install a new sappimg.img. I tried several times and double checked the hex editor.

Moving from HBOOT-1.33.0006 without Goldcard

I previously had this phone running Cyanogenmod 6 so skip the n00b bashing. I know wtf I'm doing.
My situation is pretty unique.
I came to Israel from Philadelphia with a myTouch3G about a week ago with Cyan Recovery and Cyan 6 installed. No problems. I put in an Israel SIM Card into my phone and no matter what I tried it would keep crashing the phone process.
Thinking the problem would be fixed if I flashed stock, I did just that and unrooted my phone completely.
The phone is now running stock recovery with 1.6 stock. Israeli SIM card STILL crashes the phone process.
I can't get past the intro wizard because I don't have service. Four corners doesn't work. I would have one click rooted days ago if I could get past it.
My SPL is 1.33.0006 (SAPP300000).
I am trying to get a different SPL onto the phone without a Goldcard so I can root it. I attempted to make a gold card already many times but I had to use a Windows application to get the CID so I don't think it worked because after it analysis the update.zip I get a "Version Mismatch" error.
If someone could recommend a signed SPL that my phone will accept that would then allow me to move on from there I think I'd be able to get past this issue. If I could simply get a custom recovery on this phone I could get back to Froyo where the 4 corners trick does work (or just restore from nandroid back Cyan 6).
The only way I have to copy stuff to an sdcard at the moment is through a working blackberry pearl I have lying around.
Drop me any suggestions. I'll be glad to try them.
Simple... take out your sim-card... then finish the reg part(just skip most of it).. then root... flash custom recovery.. flash eng spl... Full control again :0)
You can also finish the reg part using a wifi :0)
Just take the sim out!
Just tried that. Once I turn the phone on I see the Android intro logo and when I tap it I get a new screen that simply says "No SIM card in Phone" and the only button there is for Emergency calls.
It doesn't let me do anything from that point at all. I can't move past this screen.

I Need Help

Hi , okay i lost my old MyTouch 4g from launch , and received a new one back in August. I decided to finally do the downgrade via ADB , i got through every step and when it was time to do the "manual Downgrade" i put the Rom on the root of the SD card and when i booted to the bootloader it said PD15IMG.zip was found but the nbh file wasn't found
SD Checking...
Loading... PD15DIAG.zip
No image!
Loading... PD15DIAG.nbh
No image or wrong image!
Loading... PD15IMG.zip
No image!
Loading... PD15IMG.nbh
No image or wrong image!
and it never performed a downgrade , now when i tried to reboot back to the current rom, it gets stuck at the MYtouch 4g sign
i have a G1, so im able to swap memory cards to move files if need be because im not sure if i could access the USB mass storage through the bootloader
More information i have is at the Bootloader is

That would be either because you have your card formatted in some weird way, or because you didn't follow the guide, didn't read the multiple warnings and unknowingly named your file PD15IMG.ZIP.ZIP (because your Windows isn't set to show file extensions).
So, formatting the SD card before use with regular FAT32 and making sure the name is right will solve that.
Moreover, you should check the MD5 of the PD15IMG. It will keep looking for .nbh only if the file is wrong.
no i downloaded the PD15IMG zip file from the guide i didn't have to change anything it was already named that file, so if i format the memory card all should be good ?, would i have to worry about doing the ADB again because i had multiple reboots by taking out the battery because of being stuck at the splash screen.
EDIT: Thank You Progress was made i just Formatted the memory Card now, its performing the Update through the Bootloader to 2.2.1 with the blue side bar , i'll keep this posted with another Edit
EDIT: 2.2.1 update wasunsuccessful it getts stuck at the purple "updating" words i went to a youtube video to see what the update process would be like its supposed to go "updating, OK, OK, Unzipping"
imma try to reinstall 2.3.4 then doing the ADB method if possible
EDIT: updating to 2.3.4 does nothing but the same thing 2.2.1 update did , now im stuck scratching my head
It means that the phone is stuck updating one of the partitions, which is bad.
You could attempt to flash Panache RUU on this thing. HTC have their own downloader, inaccessible through regular modes, which is invoked when RUU is being flashed using EXE file. You might also need a goldcard for your phone to attempt it. In the Mobilicity/Panache rooting thread in General section you'll see all the info on creating a goldcard. A bit of search will get you the Panache RUU .exe file
If the RUU is successful - you'll have HTC Panache for a phone. From there, you can attempt rooting and downgrading instructions in the Panache rooting thread.
If you still have warranty - I'd use it. Flashing Panache RUU, if it won't get you luckier with PD15IMG, will be irreversible, since I don't know of MyTouch 4G RUU in .exe format.
alright i have all the necessary files such as the RUU exes i tried to make the gold card but was unable to do so using the simple Gold card method , how would i go about turning my phone into the Panache if my phone cant even turn on fully ?
HTC software running on PC doesn't need your phone to be booted, it can automatically put the phone into HTC-specific download mode from any other mode.
Run the RUU.exe while the phone is in the bootloader, for example, and see if it flashes, and if not - what error does it show.
the RUU.exe says USB error, everytime i plug my phone in through the bootloader the computer comes up with a Android 1.0 New Hardware wizard i dont know if this is interfering with the .Exe not finding the phone
EDIT: Found Android 1.0 drivers , now the error was the phone not being charged LOL! , ill keep this posted with another edit after the phone is charged, thank you for the help i appreciate it.
Yes, you'll need the driver operational.
Use Windows 7 computer, it'll automatically find and install the needed driver.
Thank You So Much for your Help i went to T-Mobile , and my insurance covered for a new phone i took the option of going for the Sensation instead of getting another Mytouch 4g and running into the same problem,
I Enjoyed this community from my First MyTouch 4g of flashing multiple ROMS , this was and is a powerful phone i wish it had more dev/hacker support with this phone
