I think my phone is bricked. HELP? - myTouch 3G, Magic General

I tried to install a rom, and it is stuck at the green splash screen. I can still boot in HBOOT, but when I try to with my SAPPIMG.NBH, fastboot will not read it. I had to use a different memory card other than SDHC, is this why? If not someone please help.

Originally running 1.5

Sounds familiar. I had the same problem a week ago. Install recovery again through the ADB in fastboot ..
no problem

no deal
ADB only works if it has an operating system to communicate with. Fastboot does not load the OS.
I'm having the same problem, check out my post:

if you're lucky, you can use fastboot to load a recovery image. check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492 and scroll to method "via fastboot -> Requires engineerings SPL!".
if your SPL is good you're good, if not the solution is much more complex (goldcard, change spl, ... )

Well I fixed it. I had originally used the wrong rom (for 32A). So I am a complete noob. But somehow eventually HBOOT eventually read my img. I have to be more careful next time.

Strange behaviour - Phone reboots when in Boot Screen (Amon_Ra recovery 1.7.0)

Hi,
I've just upgraded to Amon_Ra recovery 1.7.0 and when I go to boot screen the phone simply reboots to its normal state or freezes (less frequent), which is strange. So I can't do anything such as loading a new ROM.
Has this happened to any of you?
My specs are:

EDIT:
Fixed. Just used recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
How did you reload 1.6.2? I used universal androot and fastboot won't let me load a new image.
I just followed this thread and flashed via the fastboot method.
Cheers.
thanks.. damn that won't work for me as I have a perfected SPL (S-on)...... Will have to think of another way
Russ
ah... re-read the options and downloaded the android terminal from market place. Did reloading the 1.6.2 RA recovery that way. Gave lots of out of memory errors but worked!
thanks again.

mt3g 1.2 root issues-won't boot

I have a mt3g with the headphone jack on top. I followed the tut on the unlockr site for rooting it and after i flashed the sappimg.zip I am stuck at the htc magic screen. I can go into fastboot and hboot. Right now, fastboot says

I have been trying to reflash the sappimg.zip but it hangs up while unzipping the system file. I have tried to use adb but fastboot doesnt show any devices. Any help would be great. I am on day two trying to figure this dang thing out with no luck.

You already have a S-OFF SPL. I don't think you need to keep using SAPPIMG, just follow the instructions on CyanogenMod's wiki and it'll be all good (mine is 32A but I don't think you'd have much problems with 32B )
I finally got adb to recognize it in fastboot. I dont have a recovery, or at least it wont let me boot into it. I have tried to flash amon ra but it just hangs up and says failed on the command prompt. I will go check out cm wiki and see what I can come up with. Thanks for your input.

[Q] HTC Magic 32B, messed up recovery, then everything else

Hello,
my magic is in really bad shape after some bad decisions:
After wiping and flashing Yoshi's Gingerbread 7.1 the phone started to reboot itself randomly. It worked perfectly with previous versions of this rom. Reading the forums some people said it had to do with the recovery and how some didn't wipe certain partitions, and recomended to use Clockwork recovery instead. Here's the first bad decision, I was lazy and used the market app to flash it (rom manager?), and since then I couldn't boot into recovery any more.
Now, after wiping every partition I can't use adb, and being unable to flash anything with fastboot ("FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)"), what can I do?
With fastboot boot recovery it freezes in "booting...". I also tried flashing the recovery through terminal emulator, didn't work (throwed lot of hex addresses).

Thanks for your time!
Solved.
Used HTC's RUU. The phone's back to stock conditions. Will be rooting and doing everything else again soon.
Hi,
Would you be able to elaborate on where you download the RUU and how you used it to fix the problem? I've got a similar situation, my phone bootloops, the recovery is inoperable, but I can get into hboot. Thanks!
Hi,
You cand download the RUU from here:
http://www.htc.com/es/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=246&cat=2&dl_id=882
The install process is very simple. You only need to turn on the phone on fastboot mode and execute the .exe (on a Windows machine).
Regards
Do you know if this will be compatible with my phone and its current setup?

It's a T-Mobile Mytouch 3g.
Thanks!
I'm not sure, I'd say not being this for vodafone. I have no clue how that would affect the mytouch. Maybe there is a RUU for the t-mobile version?

[Q] Unable to upgrade to new radio / SPL

Hi all,
I'm in the process of trying to upgrade past CM 6.0 on my Magic (mytouch 1.2). I'm currently hitting a brick wall and was wondering if someone could give me a nudge in the right direction.
In fastboot - the device gives:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT -1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
..
RADIO-2.22.23.02
So that's what the phone is currently running. I can run Amon-Ra's 1.70 sapphire recovery on the phone as well as CM6.0
I was trying (hoping to be able to anyway) to upgrade the radio / SPL to take advantage of some of the GB stuff people are porting over. I first flashed an update to an Engineering SPL to 1.33.2005 in recovery, and then I fastboot flashed a new radio, 6.35.16.19 and SPL 1.76.2007. I attempted to flash Clockwork's recovery at this point, and have hit a brick wall. I can go back to the original version of the software with no problems, and my phone boots to fastboot even with the new stuff installed, but I am unable to boot to recovery, either by holding menu down, or trying to boot the image from fastboot.
I did make sure to format my SD Card, I've fastboot erase system -w'd, and also erased each individual partition, with no luck.
Any suggestions?

After flashing the Engineering SPL Update to move to 1.33.2005, the fastboot screen appears:

Then I flashed the new Radio (6.35.19) image, and the new SPL image (1.76.2007), as well as the Clockwork Mod recovery (I have tried this with AmonRa as well):

It's at this point, after doing 'fastboot erase system -w' and 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' and then rebooting, that I am unable to enter recovery mode. The phone just hangs at the htc magic splash screen. I should note that I am able to enter fastboot and hboot with no difficulty. Attempting to do 'fastboot boot "recovery.img"' has also proved unsuccessful.
I suspect that my problems lie in my original version of the SPL being S-ON. I get the feeling I'm going to need to go dig out my gold card, since the update I'm using to get to 1.33.2005 seems to indicate '32b'. I might also be reading too much into it.
What ever you do... STOP NOW.
You are working in the blind dude... you are 1 step away from bricking your device.
You cannot have 32A radio. Your device is a hybrid, a 32B with 32A ram... Just look at it as you have 32B with a little extra ram...
Follow this guide and continue from step 4 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734617
Thanks for the save. I'll definitely admit that some of this is higher level than I'm used to. Appreciate you saving me from myself ;-)

Possibly bricked?

So, I've got a MT3G that is apparently bricked. My buddy tried flashing a CM6 ROM and didn't root it properly - I'm assuming anyway since it's still S-ON. It powers up, gets to the CM Andy on a skateboard and gets stuck in a loop there.
I can get into SPL but that's it. I've attempted to erase the recovery and flash a new one with no luck. I can get it recognized via ADB with [ fastboot devices ], but I'm not sure that helps me much.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I don't mind the work, just need to find a way to get it past this point. If I can somehow manage to get it rooted from here, then flash a recovery so I can a ROM, that'd be awesome. Here's everything from the SPL screen:

Hi!
You're not recognized via ADB if you type [ fastboot devices ] and it gives you your phones S/N. You can be at FASTBOOT, HBOOT or RUU. To be recognized in ADB you have to boot in to RECOVERY or in to SYSTEM.
If you have working HBOOT (can boot to HBOOT with pressing VOLUME_DOWN+POWER), I suggest you to make a goldcard, download a stock rom for your MT3G (In FASTBOOT you can type [ fastboot getvar cid ], and the first 8 digits will tell you your phones CID number.). Extract the downloaded RUU and find the rom.zip (rom.nbh) file. Rename it to SAPPIMG.zip (SAPPIMG.nbh) and put it in the root of your goldcard.
Start up your phone with pressing VOLUME_DOWN+POWER.
If you get error about "Model ID" then your MicroSD is not a goldcard and you downloaded a "wrong" RUU ("Wrong" RUU (Phones CID not correct) can be good, if it is for MT3G like you have. Only you must create a working goldcard.).
If you get error "Main Version is older" then try to find newer RUU.
I hope, I helped you...
And then make the rooting with more care
