Probs with getting into recovery menu

Hey XDA
Im having a little problem with my Magic.
I would like to flash a new ROM, but i cant get into the recovery menu.
Here is what i do:
I have installed the latest version of SDK on my computer.
I then connect my Magic with the cable, and when Vista comes up with the note saying that want to install the software i tell it to use the drivers that are in the SDK/usb_driver/x86 folder.
I then turn off the phone, and press and hold back button + power button until the phone shows the "3 androids on skateboard" menu.
Then on my computer in the cmd prompt i write: fastboot boot recovery.img, and the the cmd prompt says: <waiting for device> and the nothing else happens, the recovery image dosn't show up on the phone either.
I have checked with adb devices that my phone is connected.
Are there anyone that can help me with this problem because its beginning to annoy me alot, i would like to root my phone and flash another ROM.
So any help would be much appreciated.

Just to check, you made sure you have a spl that's rootable?

And fallowed this before fastboot.
First, setting up your PC (I'm going to assume you're using windows for this) to work with Android in a debugging enviroment.
1. Get the latest Android SDK from here (http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r2/index.html) and unzip it into a convienent directory (most people use C:\Android\, so I suggest you do the same). The result should be something along the lines of C:\Android\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\.
2. Set up your phone to work with debugging drivers. The method of doing so can be found here (http://developer.android.com/guide/...ing/device.html) in the "Setting up a Device for Development" section, steps 2 and 3. To test that it works properly, open up a command prompt and navigate to the tools directory (C:\Android\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\tools). Type into the prompt:
Code:
adb devices
If it returns your device and serial number, then you're all set.
3. Lastly, grab fastboot.exe from here (http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/adp.html) and place it in the tools directory of the sdk.
Next up, rooting.

Thx for the answer, but there is a problem with one of the links you posted, the last one of them (http://developer.android.com/guide/...ing/device.html). it dosn't work.
But you also write something about the SPL, i dont know if i have the right SPL, how can I see if its the right one i have? I've tried reading the link about the SPL, but my problem is that i cant even get into the recovery menu, so i cant flash a new SPL either, or am i wrong?
Please help me
Per

To check your SPL just boot up fastboot (back + power) then just look at the top and see what it says. Then check on the first link I posted and see if your SPL is rootable or not.
Don't know why the last link didn't post proper Here it is.

Damn, thats a load of ..... (sorry).
I have just got my phone back from the repair shop because the camera restarted the phone everytime i tried to use it. Before i sent it to repair i had no problem rooting it or getting in the recovery menu.
But can you tell what the problem is? is it because the recovery image dosn't work with my SPl and the recovery image guys need to "crack" my SPL first or what?

[Q] Semi bricked HTC MAGIC 32A

I've got a HTC Magic 32A wich my friend gaved to me since he had semi bricked it.
I've asked him what kind of rom he used when he tryed to flash the phone, but he can't remember :/
The phone itself works fine, but it can't read the SD card at all and I can't connect the phone to my computer.
If I try to hard reset the device, then the phone restarts all the time and are stucked at the boot screen.
If I clicking randomly on the phone then it finaly start. But all the problems are still there.
What should I do?
Be aware, I'm a total n00b when it comes to android phones and flashing. the only thing I've upgraded before is Windows Mobile, so easy explanation is what I need
My phone is:

RADIO-6.35.08.29
TY for reading this, and I'l hope you want to help me.
And sorry for my bad english

If you can't get access to the phone via sd card or usb, it seems rather impossible to save it...
you need one of those to things at least to get new radio, HBOOT, recovery or ROM on to the phone...
have you tried another sd card?

Hi there, and thanks for answer.
Yes, I've tryed several SD cards with no luck at all.
Does this mean that I can't fix the phone at all?
EDIT:
When I connect the phone via FASTBOOT It connects to the PC. But can't access any files on the SD

OK. There are some miscommunication here.
You actually got 2 or more problems. They may be related but we need to investigate the case.
Problem 1: The sdcard don't mount
Problem 2: No connection to the computer
To fix you problems we need to handle one by one.
The first thing i will concentrate on will be the connection problem.
Fix connection:
Make sure that your device has usb debugging turned on by doing:
push "menu" -> Settings -> Applications -> Development -> make sure that "USB debugging" IS CHECKED.
This way your computer can communicate with the device using the adb executable.
You could also have driver problems, so make sure that you have the right drivers installed.
If you install the latest HTC-sync, it will have the drivers bundled with it.
When all is set, connect the device to the computer and see if there are any reactions from the device!
The sdcard problem may be fixed after you have done the above. That's because i want to make sure that you are not USB-bricked!
So, make the above and report back here the results. Then we can take it from there.
If you are not USB-bricked then the sdcard problem may be an easy fix :0)

Ok
So I've downloaded and instaled HTC sync. The Phone did connect (yeah)
But It look's like it does not find the SD card at all. I did took a screendump of HTC sync so you can take a look.
http://bildr.no/view/818652

Good news, you are not usb-bricked :0)
Fix sdcard problem:
Restart into fastboot mode.
Execute this command and post here the results
Code:
[B]fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
[/B]

hehe, thx for the reply, but how do I execute that command?
Sorry for the noobish question.

As you see above, it's a FASTBOOT command and must be run in fastboot mode.
Power down.
Hold volume - ("-" and not +) together with power.
Execute the command from you fastboot path (where you have the fastboot.exe file... typically inside sdk/tool/ folder)

Maybe it's me who can't figure it out.
But when I start in Fastboot ("-" + Power) then I get only

[Q] 32A Magic no ROM or adb only fastboot

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:

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?

Output of fastboot getvar version-main is

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?

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

Make sure that you've installed Android SDK Tools (with drivers package), HTC Sync (with drivers / or drivers only).
In Android SDK Tools there are two utilities: /platform-tools/adb.exe and /tools/fastboot.exe
You can check connection with PC when executing:
adb devices (in normal-mode)
fastboot devices (in fastboot-mode)
If any utility returned serial number - so you don't have any problems with usb connection and can try install RUU

the only thing im missing on that list is htc sync, so ill download it and try again, i have adb and fastboot, but im not sure that adb can connect to the phone in fastboot ( since i can't boot to ROM )
e; adb and htc sync cant find the devices, as suspected, probably due the fact that i can't boot the device other then with "fastboot boot <recovery img>" in fastboot-usbmode.
and the program still can't find the phone after installing htc sync (same error).

a few questions about the guide posted, since i haven't done anything yet other then the RUU so i could atleast use the phone...
do i really need a goldcard? i've read the guide, and it doesnt seems to do anything but edit my sdcard, which seems weird since it works to the phone already and it seems i already have root, because 'adb shell' gives me #, and i downloaded superuser, which doesn't seem to be any issue, but i still have S-On, so i'm a bit confused about that.
where do i get the SPL & HBoot? the links seems to be missing in the guide.
i guess i should flash new SPL and HBoot before saying this, but the error in hboot still exists after RUU.
thanks for all the help =)

Every time if you want flash official ROM that is not for your country/operator you need goldcard. In general, phone has own CID (example HTC__037 - Indonesia), ROM has list of compatible CIDs. While flashing ROM is checking list with phone's CID. If they are not equal - you will get error. Goldcard emulates cid 11111111 which is always in ROM CID list.

Yeah, to do S-OFF you must flash engineering bootloader. Hboot which compatible to radio 6.35.XX.XX is hboot 1.76.2007

where do i get the SPL & HBoot? the links seems to be missing in the guide.
i guess i should flash new SPL and HBoot before saying this, but the error in hboot still exists after RUU.
thanks for all the help =)

SPL and HBoot and Bootloader are same things (in general, when people write manuals)
And yes, you need flash HBoot 1.76.2007 - you will get more abilities (like fastboot commands)
HBoot 1.76.2007 ENG S-OFF here: Download Flash via custom recovery

Can't install any rom on ny Magic, please help

Hi.
I have an 32A HTC Magic.
I don't know what got wrong but I have NO working ROM on my device.
I have Amon Ra 1.6.2, SPL-OFF, Can get into recovery, can get into Fastboot mode.
Tried flashing some ROMs (they installed 100% completely) but when I reboot the logo just shows "htc MAGIC" and nothing happens.
Please what should I try to do?
Your help will be very much appreciated.
Best regards and sorry for not so great english.

Okay, the thing is:
I can get into the Fastboot screen, but cant get into Fastboot USB mode. So no way of sending ADB commands from my laptop.
Also, no way to get into HBOOT. Even from the Fastboot screen, pressing VOL DOWN doesn't do anything.
What the heck do I do? (

It can be caused by stucked buttons.
Tear down the phone
Clean parts
Assemble all back
p.s. Please post spl-info (first 5 rows in fastboot screen) to avoid software incompatability

Thank you very much, here is the data:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.76.2007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.10.18

Your help is very much appreciated. Im still stuck with the Magic.. Have tried everything all night
Best regards

Okay, got into HBOOT finally. I then tried flashed the sappimg.zip - but half way through it said invalid model id.
Now I don't have Amon Ra recover, and Fastboot looks like this now:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-2.22.19.261
May 27 2009 19:06:41
I tried another sappimg.zip and then in HBOOT but HBOOT doesn't find the sappimg.zip anymore.
Any good advice?

OMG, why? Why you did it? You are successfully half-bricked your magic...
update:
1. Make goldcard
2. try to flash 2.53.707.2 SEA WWE test-signed
http://www.4shared.com/file/160198404/66d482a/RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Asia_WWE_2537.html

Cause Im a bit stupid I guess ...
One thing though, I can't even get my computer to recognize my Magic.
Nothing happens when I plug it to the USB port. Not showing up in Device Manager.
I have tried two mini USB cables, same thing.
Guess Im totally screwed?

It is driver-related issue.
You need explore Windows Device Manager (My computer (right click) / Manage / Device Manager)
There must be Android USB Devices in tree.
You can also install USBDEVIEW
32bit OS: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview.zip
64bit OS: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview-x64.zip
p.s.
1. adb must return serial number when phone in normal state after command "adb devies"
2. fastboot must return serial number only in fastboot-mode after command "fastboot devices"
If you see serial number - no problem with adb/fastboot

Hi, slkdk,
Have you ever tried the "RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Chunghwa"
(in Traditional Chinese/English)
You just need to connect your phone with PC, turn on the phone with back+power, and then execute the "RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Chunghwa" on PC.
I remember that Sapphire_HTC_Chunghwa will help you with all the radio/SPL/ROM directly back to the Android 1.5 stock.
Good luck!

Just note, but not all phones are Taiwanese Chungwa. Installing ROM for another region (mismatching by CID) will raise "cid error" and half-brick.
