Was applying an RUU update...what a bad move...
Now my HTC Magic got stuch in RUU screen showing the following:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A SHIP S-OFF H

RADIO-6.35.10.18

RUU
I tried many ways to get rid of this screen but didn't work.
My phone original has the rogers 2.17.631.2 build, and I did a bad move to upgrade to Android 1.5.=( The RUU process flashed my HBOOT and RADIO, but as soon as it starts the "system" steps, the screen shows unzipping for over an hour and eventually failed. Now my phone will start up with the above screen only!! i can't get myphone startup in recovery mode or fastboot mode.
I tried re-run the RUU porgram on my PC and the tool still shows i have the old anroid build. Hence i know that i now have NEW HBOOT and RADIO but still the old Android build.
Is there a way for me to get out of this RUU screen? Any help is appreciated.
Is the security off (S-OFF) allows me to downgrade the SPL? If so, how can i do that given i can only boot my HTC Magic in this screen only.
One more side note, fastboot can detect the phone.
Urgently need help! Appreciated.

Ugh. I received a MT3g from a person on Ebay who said the phone was stuck in a loop. Thought I could easily fix it but this #@#! phone is drivin me crazy!
As soon as I turn the device on it goes straight to HBOOT with the following information:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT - 1.33.006 ( SAPP30000 )
CPLD - 10

HBOOT
<Back> Fastboot Mode
Hitting the "back" button does nothing, and therefore cant get into Fastboot. I have tried putting the original sappimg.nbh on there..and it starts updating everything with the bar on the top right corner. Everything says its successful, but when it reboots it goes straight back to the HBOOT. I also tried putting the sappimg.zip on there, and when updating I get a "Model ID Incorrect Update Failed" error. The sappimg.zip files that are on one of these threads is for rooting the MT3g right? I have the perfected SPL as u can see, but as of now I just want a working rom...dnt care if its stock. Like i said, loading sappimg.nbh seems to load everything, but goes right back to the 3 Anroids on skateboards.
Did you try installed the SDK onto your computer and running commands to maybe boot up a the RAv recovery image?
The maybe from there you can flash the phone.
Yea I already have the SDK...I should have stated I'm no Android noob..just a Mytouch one. But this baffles me. I cant access Fastboot because the "back" button does nothing, thus it cant connect to my computer. However I can flash images on it by placing the .nbh or sappimg.zip on them..but like i said, i get an error with the .zip and the .nbh seems to update fine but still brings me to the Hboot screen.
Well my phone has no recovery installed, nor does it have a system/OS.
I have the Hboot 1.33.2010 flashed using the goldcard method. Now having that installed I should be able to flash radios spls, etc.....but I can't. I always get (Remote: Signature Verify Fail).
I can also flash back to the original ROM with sappimg, but It flashes everything...but the system and it hangs there forever.
My question is, how can I get my phone working again either with the stock rom, or another with only Goldcard, and Fastboot availble?
P.s. My phone reads
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A ENG S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP31000)
CPID 13
RADIO-3.22.20.17
It's bricked like mine is, you must have flashed the wrong radio to it. :-(
Well I do believe I might have made some progress!! I was able to reflash the stock radio, spl, and all the jazz. However when it does to update/unzipping the system, it just hangs I even let it sit there for 20 mins.
So basically I have the stock radio and spl, but no recovery and no OS Installed..... what can I do from here?
Mine is still under warranty, I send it to T-MOBILE.
Let's see if they fix it or they reject it once they see the HTC logo on the splash screen when it boots.
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:

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:

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

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).
A bunch of people with rooted phones are reporting that when they attempted to flash the 2.1 RUU overtop of CM6 they would get a signature error during the update process.
It's looking like the SPL is getting changed to 1.76.0010 and the radio is getting changed to 6.35.16.19 after which the update hangs with the signature error. Either recovery is failing during flash or is not replaced with this RUU but either way recovery is dead. and the RUU won't complete.
My opinion is that Amon-Ra recovery for the Magic is still on there and won't work because it won't work with that SPL/Radio combination. I've had one person report to me that he received the signature error even when attempting to manually flash the Amon-Ra Hero version onto the phone.
Also from a couple of pics that I've seen, it looks like the phone is stuck in RUU USB mode.
So are they bricked or is there a way for them to breathe life back into their phones?
This happened to me... my phone is currently stuck on the RUU screen and shows:

It seems I can also send files with flashboot, but everything comes back as Failed (remote: 12 signature verify fail).
Any suggestions to get out of this? Or am I firmly in the bricked category?
Thanks!
for others that r looking to flash the rogers stock rom.
Would it work if we flash rogers's old 1.5 911 RUU over CM6 first, then flash the new 2.1 RUU?
Obviously the 2nd step will be straight forward, but how about the first step?
do u guys heard sth called goldcard? make one and run the ruu again.
i have the issue, i am trying with a glodcard but i have a problem to get the cid of the sd card. because the phone is briked ! adb is not working
i will keep you inform if i found any solutions
edit :still not working any other idea !!! i cant find the way to get cid of sd card without adb...
finnaly i got the glodcard but the RUU is still not working ! error bad signature !
well im a noob to the mytouch3g but i own a slide....the prom im haveing is a friend game me his 3g cuz it was stuck at mytouch splash and well i cant get it past that

cpld-13
radio-6.35.10.18
so can any1 help....i can get to fastboot and hboot just not past that
He hosed the radio. The 6.35.10.18 radio is for actual 32A devices. Read through this post and the light will come on. You may be able to get the radio changed back by following the instructions in this post.
well i have tryed that sapp b4 just get to Radio V2 and sits there updating for last time i try till it went dead...i can get to fastboot hboot but not recovery
well tryed again lastnite and well sat at updateing Radio_V2 at like 90 percent for 3 hours......WHAT AM I TO DO?
Can you still get into recovery? With the phone off, turn it on holding home+power.
that takes me to the splash screen tryed.. im gonna try now that i have sd drive to use the gold card
well that didnt work hung up at thr radio_v2
Well if you can borrow a friends phone to make a goldcard, then just follow the old school guide in my sig. Hopefully it wont fail writing the radio which is what I'm thinking will happen.

i made the gold crad from my slide and well same thing gets stuck at thr RADIO_V2....then i pulled the bat and now have soff and tryed flashing radio through fastboot and the same thing get 90percent dont and hangs there
What radio did you try flashing? Either way, your going to have to flash a proper Engineering SPL that'll work with that radio, then flash the new radio, then the correct SPL. What are you showing in fastboot now?

Alright, that one should be good. Where did you get the radio image your trying to flash and which radio is it?

if thats right only prob i have now is i cant get into recovery...hold home power takes me to splash screen.....so how far off am i?
You need to get the stock SPL back on there. Flash recovery from fastboot, then flash the correct SPL, and then reboot. BE CAREFUL, if you flash the wrong SPL you may brick your phone. Give me about an hour and I'll link the correct files.

THANK YOU......i now have it back to stock had to get the right radio then i used ruu so we are back to stock.....now to root it which why do u recommend......the old or new way?
Download this, put it on the root of your SD card. With the phone booted, download/install "Appinstaller" from the market. Use it to install Universal Androot, then run the app, which will root your phone. Once Universal Androot root's your phone, start at Step #6 from this guide.
