OK, a little history, I have a HTC Magic, which I traded my HTC Dream for (just after the whole Rogers 911 thing). The person I traded wanted a Dream, and well, I wanted a Magic so I could root it and get the better ROM's working. Well, lo and behold, I get the Magic and find out it's already rooted and running a 2.0 ROM, which I like very much.
Here is my problem, I've had it for a few weeks now and while doing trial and error with which apps I like, it's gotten a little unstable and I'd like to bring it back to "Factory" values. I've tried running the "Factory Reset" from the Privacy menu, but it just reboots and no change made. So, the question is, can I run the reset from the Fastboot menu?
Ohhh, and what ROM is this (see attached picture)?

So I sucked it up and just did a Wipe/Factory Reset from the recovery menu. The image is still good, just back to factory. Documentation would go a long ways...
MotoCAL.apk is now installed and working this time, now I *really* like this ROM....

Let me explain to you the whole story. I obviously know im going to get flamed for this one. I will give you the short short version
I had a rooted MT3G fender with this Rom installed

It worked all good until i started messing with stuff. I wanted this rom installed
http:/forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=673394
Since it said 32a and MT3G fender is 32a i assumed that it will install and no problems. So i used the gold card to change radio and spl to the 3.22 series. only to find out that they dont work for my phone. based on this post
"You are now screwed with a downgraded SPL and radio that do not work on this phone YAAAAAAY." -crypysmoker-
[THUNK AND FIXED] Rooting Mytouch Fender LE 32a/ Mytouch 1.2 DONT!!
http:/forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622530
So now im thinking great i didnt catch that so let me just move back to where i was before. using the last section of that previous thread to install the stock radio and spl. i have done this already and know it works. so i install the stock radio and spl and the custom recovery. Boot up into recovery and restore nandroid. everything is going ok utill.....it locks up in a boot loop. i then boot back up into recovery and erase data. after that i tryed another nandroid restore and to my wonderful surprise i now lost the ability to mount the sdcard. i restarted and tryed many different cards and all failed. I then boot up into hboot restore with the goldcard and it then locks up at system.
Great now im looking for something to fix this whole mess. after that i try to reinstall the original spl and radio. I then have an error "signature verify failed." Now im thinking WTF!!!!!
I then find a thread about the RUU and how to turn off "S-on" if i install this official HTC app. However come to find out its the asia version. WONDERFUL FOR ME!!! I then found the Official T-mobile MT3G RUU, installed it and now i have a fastboot installed with a memchip with a red circle around it, not the 3 skate droids, and cant boot into HBOOT ,with the volume down button. All that i see is "RUU USB." I have adb but now get the error "remote not allowed." it used to be "signature verify failed." i have no recovery, no HBOOT, just fast boot with RUU USB.
How to i fix this mess up and get back to this?

This is definitely a snowball effect right here.
Oh also i cant go and exchange the MT3g fender because im past my 14 days and i already did it on the first day. LOL
I actually am stuck on the same screen with the same phone. I hope someone has been able to get this fixed
Damn, not trying to be mean, but you screwed up a lot.
I have the same version device as you, and I upgraded my radio/SPL. and did a lot of stuff, i semi-bricked it, but i got it working again. I suggest you re-root your whole entire phone. including flashing all the radios, spl,recovery, and etc.
Try following this theunlockr[DOT]com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/
The problem is that the phone is stuck in a bit of an interesting state. You can't flash from an RUU at this point because the engineering SPL used to root the phone is version 2.53.x, while the RUU's ROM is 2.10.x. You also cannot flash any images to the phone because the SPL is locked (S-ON). So the only way to fix the phone at this point would be to somehow get an HTC-signed 2.53+ ROM for the SAPP31000 (mytouch 3g 1.2/fender) or find a way to unlock the SPL. I had a nice chat with some of the Modaco guys and we went through a lot of options with none of them working. The phone's basically in a bit of a chicken vs. egg state. So personally, I will be building a serial cable to manually unlock the SPL so that I can flash images back on manually.
So, while I wish it was as easy as just re-flashing the phone, you can't do that with a locked SPL and no HBOOT mode available. Onward to a serial/TTL cable advendure!
Once I get the parts in to build it, I'll follow up here with my results

Hi guys, dont know if I have asked this question in the right place, but here goes. I have had my magic 32b on Vodafone for 8 months, and for the last 6 I have been using Fatal1ty's hero/rosie rom with mainly satisfaction, after disabling the touch-flo home screen nonsense. There were a few issues that niggled me so I tried to hunt down a newer version. Somehow, after upgrading successfully to CM5 and liking the look, I backed up via nandroid and flashed a new rom. I am now stuck with a T-Mobile mt3g rom which wont let me get passed the google sign up screen, and my data package is not in service until monday.
here is what my details look like as of now......

I have read so many posts now that im not sure where to start. I would like to know if there is a SAPPimg available to overcome this problem, i cannot access phone via adb or fastboot as i have no custom recovery installed anymore and no access via fastboot as remote is not allowed!
My hair is turning ever greyer, any help would be amazing.
(already tried the goldcard routine with no avail, but maybe i did it wrong.)
Peace
Hi All.
This might be a really dumb question, but I can't find anything in the forums that looks similar, so here goes.
I have an HTC Magic 32A bought in Bangkok, Thailand (where I still live), and when I got it, the salesperson offered to upgrade it from the stock no-sense cupcake to sense UI for me on the spot. Everything was working fine except for bluetooth (1.5's fault, not the ROM) and the GPS. I came back a month later and the shop upgraded it again to fix the GPS, this time telling me that the last guy had put a custom ROM in for me, but now I have the official ROM.
So now I have:

My Build number is 3.04.401.2
From the looks of it, I have a rooted, official HTC ROM, right? I'd like to get 2.1 (perhaps CM5-Release-2.6.32.9-kernel, so I don't have to downgrade the radio and risk a brick), and I can boot to recovery (Ra-hero-v.1.5.2), but I'm worried that things aren't working right because despite all of the above, my phone isn't acting like a normally rooted phone.
Specifically, I can't wifi-tether (the app says I need root), and when I open a terminal emulator, I can su but when I tell it to "reboot recovery" it says "not permitted!"
That said, I can make a nandroid in recovery so I'm guessing everything is fine and that for some odd reason I'm only being denied root access at the application level..?
Is this right? Can I start wiping and flashing?
Thanks in advance for your patience and kind assistance.
Hey,
I have a Vodafone Magic 32B, which I am using with a Three simcard.
Yesterday, I started trying to root my device.
My device was running 1.6, so I tried to downgrade, following theunlockr. com/2009/08/14/how-to-root-your-mytouch-3g/
After many issues, I managed to get to stage 27.
Noticing that he linked to a 32A Driver, i instead tried to progress with the lastest AmonRa-Sapphire-V1.7.0G.img.
When this didn't work, I tried a few other versions that I had downloaded throughout my exploration of rooting.
At this point, it was 4.30 in the morning, and I decided to call it quits.
Luckily, i had made a nandroid backup.
I restored it, and, thank god, my phone booted.
However, it wasn't a restore as such.
The menu is different, the app store is different (and the camera is noticeably poorer).
However, checking the Firmware version, it says v1.5?!
1)Does this mean I successfully downgraded?
2)From here, how would i root the phone?
3)After i root the phone, is there any way to get back to the 1.6 interface? With a better camera (that can be accessed by apps)?
Thanks for any advice you can give. I'm aware that there may be loads of post like this, because i spent a good 12 hours yesterday sifting through the various methods. However, I would really appreciate any help, because I don't want to brick my new phone (i just got it, second hand, yesterday).
Figured that i'd post what pops up on the fastboot screen

Hi,
I have rooted my HTC Android Donut 1.6 with Goldcard method yesterday, because simpler method wasn't working for me (It was a lot of work and lots of info to consume for first timer, wheew...). So I was back to Cupcake 1.5. Today I updated my recovery ROM to recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G, because old recovery ROM wasn't loading (Home+Power got stuck at Vodafone screen).
After that I downloaded TMUS-32B-Froyo-CM6Remix from the forum and tried to flash it through recovery mode, everything went fine, but after rebooting device wouldn't go past Vodafone screen. I tried wiping out and reflashing, tried few other ROMs, but nothing helps, same problem. I spent 4 hours trying to figure out WTF and frustration is kicking in... Please, could somebody help me out?

You flashed wrong recovery,you must flash H recovery see at the end of your file/device

I just tried to change ROM to recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H. After that I reflashed ROM TMUS-32B-Froyo-CM6Remix. Still doesn't boot. Any other ideas?
What were your first specs?
I really don't know. I never bothered to write them down, because I didn't expect to get to this point following tutorials, that everyone uses.
Make sure your flashing a 32b rom and did you wipe everything first
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I only tried to install 32B ROMs and always wiped out data before flashing. I even tried wiping out through fastboot and cmd.exe with command "fastboot wipe system -w".
So many views in this thread and no helpful answers. So, no one knows how to fix this? I would really be satisfied if I could at least revert it back to original OS and wouldn't touch it anymore. It's driving me crazy...
It took me whole efing day, but I finally solved the problem... I was searching google for this "SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32B ENG S-OFF H" and found some german forum. Some guy had similar problem, and had a solution for it. Now I'm back on Cupcake 1.5. Most important thing is that, I'm able to boot device.
So, could anyone suggest what steps should I take to not get in same position? What rooting path (tutorial) should I take and what precautions?
Now I'm on:
