Hi guys,
Not sure if anyone's brought this up but search didn't turn up anything. Anyways, I had flashed my T-Mobile MyTouch with Cyanogen's ROM a few weeks ago. At the time, I had 1.33.2005 for SPL (which is what came with the phone) and after T-Mobile performed their Donut upgrade.. now my SPL is 1.33.006. I would have never noticed this if I wasn't tempted to try out other ROMs. Now, I can't get into Recovery Mode but Fastboot still works. Nor am I able to use flashrec to dump the recovery image back. I didn't do anything to this phone since loading Cyanogen's ROM and at the time, I still had .2005 after I had it on.
Has anyone else noticed this?
WOW that sucks! the spl they gave you is a perfect spl.
My question is did they close the one click root access with the ota doughnut?

I had that HBOOT 1.33.0006 too, but I never took a look @ what I had before so I don't know if it has been changed. However, if memory serves me right, I thought we lost the ability to OTA upgrade when we root and flash custom roms? anyone can confirm on this?
Also I can still access recovery mode and fastboot, so it seems like nothing has been changed on my phone even though I have the same SPL as yours

That's what I thought too but this sudden change is worrisome. I'm also not sure if this SPL is even rootable with the current methods. By the sounds of it, I don't think so but correct me if I'm wrong.
This sucks!
I bought my MT3G last week and it came with that SPL. It's rootable, as long as you're on 1.5 firmware. Use the recovery flasher to flash Anom_RA's recovery, boot into recovery, flash a rooted ROM and the engineering SPL. Check my sig for the correct SPL.
If you're on 1.6, you're not out of luck. Pick up the SAPPIMG.nbh file, rename it to sappimg.nbh, place it in the root of your sdcard, boot up into hboot (volume down + power) and flash that. It will put you back into 1.5 firmware and from there you can repeat the steps above.

I was holding off until I could get a definite answer on this question, but I accidentally clicked the Install button today... When it came back up, I still had the same SPL/Radio/etc that I started with: (this is with a MT3G on T-Mobile USA)

Just my experience, HTH
Hey guys, I have spent the last 8 hours trying to figure this out.
I have a MyTouch 3g 1.2 and I want to root it and install Cyanogen's new ROM. I have been following the rooting guide from TheUnlckr.com.
I am able to complete everything fine (I needed to substitute the sappimg for the Sapphire one to make it work), but it finally completed.
When I go to fastboot with SDK, I can see my device, so everything looks fine. However, when I go to flash the radio, hboot, and recovery images, I get a error that says:
Code:
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>fastboot flash radio radio.img
sending 'radio' <21504 KB>...FAILED <remote: not allow>
finished. total time: 0.016s
This is the pattern for each of the files I try to flash...
This is where I'm at, and I haven't even gotten to flashing the ROM yet. So, I currently just have a stock device. Can someone please help me out?
I tried using the following sappimg:
2.53.707.2_-_sappimg
SAPPIMG_Sapphire_T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4_release_signed
the following SPL:
update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2010-signed
the following recovery images:
recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img
flashrec-1.1.2-20090909.apk
flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2
flashrec-20090815
I'm clearly all over the place now. Someone please point me in the right direction. I tried several different ways to fix it, but none of them worked. The most reason I tried was the method of using the flashrec to flash a recovery image while the phone is on, instead of fastbooting it. That didn't work because it kept saying it was the wrong image for the phone.
Thanks in advance guys. And believe me, I've been searching and searching.

before you can flash anything with fastboot, you have to shoehorn that engineering SPL into the phone somehow (probably have to make a goldcard, but I don't know for sure on the 1.2 mytouch)
which rooting guide are you using? (there are many different ones on unlockr, some of which are terribly obsolete)
also, flashrec isn't a recovery image, its a one-click rooting app that only works on android 1.5 (pretty sure the 1.2 mytouch only runs 1.6)

I also successfully created a goldcard, and installed all the ADB stuff. The part that's hanging me up is the flashing of the recovery image via fastboot usb.
I'm so close! I have successfully rooted two other mytouch devices, but they were not the 1.2 version.
Any more help would be great!

what "sapphire" image did you substitute? and what happened when you tried to use the sappimg that they gave you in the instructions?
When I tried using that image, it just said "wrong file for this phone" or something like that. I know the goldcard was done right, though, because it works with another sappimg. I'm trying to follow cryptsmoker's guide now. I'm going to try and use the engineering img/SPL now. We'll see how it goes.
Ok, now I'm getting frustrated.
Here is my info:

I just got the Model ID incorrect!
Update Fail!
This happens with every sappimg I use except T-Mobile 2.10.531.4. I'm sure that's the stock one, so that's probably why. I'm just so ticked.
To clarify again, After I hboot the sappimg, I reboot and instead of being taken to the Magic screen, I'm taken to a standard MyTouch splash, then Android splash, then MyTouch setup screen. My touchscreen works the entire time. Is this because I basically just reinstalled the stock ROM?
I just can't seem to get ANY other sappimg to work beside the stock one. I've used three different goldcards and all of them work the exact same way.
Please help!
Dane
yeah, you are just reinstalling the stock files (stock SPL and radio)
just because the t-mobile sappimg works doesn't mean you made the goldcard right.
the point of the goldcard is to trick the phone into installing a non-stock sappimg, you could take a brand new SD card, put the stock sappimg on it and you would still be able to flash it using vol-down+power
open the goldcard.img in HxD and make sure it contains all the lines (including all of line 170), if it doesn't then you need to start over from the beginning (get cid again, reverse it again, get a new goldcard.img)
If goldcard.img is ok, open the sd card in HxD again and make sure all of the first 170 lines of the sd card match the goldcard.img
also, some SD cards just don't work for making goldcards. I used a lexar 1gb, and kingston 2gb cards are reported to work
I didn't paste over the entire 170 line while making the goldcard. I used the "select" feature and chose 0-170...that could be my mistake. Here we go again!
I actually never got this to work the first time. I was really excited since I heard I would be getting the T-Mobile update soon, but then I read a little further and saw that the 2.1 is not yet included...so, I will be figuring this out today, mark my words!
Wish me luck!
Dane
I had a similar problem and it was the goldcard. Although I had made the goldcard and it worked before, using the same goldcard I get the same error message as you. I made a new goldcard and it worked flawlessly to flash using fastboot. Make sure you are using one of the brands that are know to work.
OK, new problem now. I installed everything and got it all to work. I actually had the stock cm rom working (an out of date version from the unlockr). Well, I tried to update and I started by flashing the 6.35.16.19 radio. Apparently that worked but now nothing else will.
In the HBOOT screen, I see this:

I figure I need to get back to the stock radio I started with (3.22 or whatever), but I can't. Even when I try to flash the radio in fastboot, it takes way too long and never finishes.
Your speedy replies are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Got your pm.
Facts: STOP MESSING UP YOUR DEVICE.....
You are working in the blind... mixing bad spl and radio combos.....
So STOP what you doing and read and understand before you continue.
You can't just take any sappimg.zip and apply it... I has complete partitions layout... like the spl, radio, recovery ect...
So if you take whatever you find on the net and apply it, you will **** your device up... just like you did now...
Having the 6.35 radio and a perfected 1.33 spl... Just bad for business!
What is your current status:
Access to adb?
Access to fastboot?
Access to recovery?
Access to rom/system?
Also post fastboot info...
Then we can take it from there :0)
And for gods sake... STOP flashing stuff.
I have access to adb, fastboot, and hboot. No ROM/system or recovery.
Clarification: Since I cannot access the system of the phone, I do NOT have access to ADB. I cannot see the device when I type in 'adb devices' within the AndroidSDK\tools path.
Fastboot info:

the hboot: hboot-1.76.2007.nb0
the recovery: recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
I have since tried to go into one of your other threads and at least match up my SPL/Radio combo. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
OK.... you are now in a god situation...
You have a good combo and eng spl...
We can work with this....
1) boot into fastboot
2)download the fastboot commander (magic).... check my signature
3)start the tool... does it print the device info?
If yes, do this:
Go to the magic 32A tab.
Push "flash old".
IF all successful, then go to "misc" tab and push "reboot device".
When device has rebooted, push "print device info".
Now copy all text and posted here...
IF you get ANY errors... DO NOT REBOOT, DO NOT CLOSE THE TOOL...
Just take the output + the content of the "actual tab" and post here....
Again, IF you get ANY errors... DO NOT REBOOT, DO NOT CLOSE THE TOOL!
If the tool does not print the device info, then post here...

ricmiester, as far as I remember CPLD-13 is for MyTouch 3G Fender / LE, which means you flashed the wrong radio and spl. Make a goldcard and use the rooting tutorial at the unlockr (google it) to fix it.

No. Since you were able to flash the wrong sappimg (congrats, by the way), I'm guessing it's working just fine. Follow the rooting tutorial at the unlockr.
ahhah ok ill try it again ill massage back with progress in a minute
ok i put the sappimg on the memory card then fastbooted it when i clicked the trackball it froze on system its stuck unziping

ok ill this one if it doesnt work ima go into ustream or something
it freezes on system while unzipping i can go into ustram if you want
What SPL and Radio do you have now? Is it still S-OFF? If so, try only flashing the hboot, radio and recovery - steps 4-7. I honestly have no idea what's going wrong...

my phone died on the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img but got past radio but now s-on is now on
WTF? What do you mean "died"?! Are you at least back to the stock radio and SPL? Does your phone boot into recovery (hold down home and press power) or into normal mode?
If you're back to stock radio and SPL you should now be able to start the tutorial once again and it shouldn't fail on flashing sappimg this time. At least I hope so
Repost your fastboot info.
ok i got the sappimg to work phone didnt boot tho going to continue tutorial
yeeessss i finally got in recovery point me to the best rom and should update spl and radio
also thankyou

Okay, great! Now you should be running your stock SPL and radio (which means S-ON), but you can go into the modded recovery by holding down home and pressing power.
If you still have the 1.33.2010 SPL and 3.22.20 radio you need to flash the stock ones, otherwise no ROM will work!
As for a ROM, I really don't know which one would be best for you, but you can check out the ROM bible at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682243 - last section of the first post is for your phone - MT3G 1.2 / LE Fender.
Glad I could help and welcome to XDA
So first some background:
I have an original 1.5 Rogers HTC Magic phone. I applied the 911 update to it when it was pushed out from Rogers. It was then flashed following the CyanogenMod6.0-RC directions from their Wiki and had been working well enough up until recently.
Rogers released their 2.1 and so I decided to give it a whirl.
Downloaded RCMagic Rogers RUU 3.54.631.3 Android 2.1 for magic+ ( [Rom][NR][32A]RCMagic v5 710Mhz OC WIFI Working |Rogers 2.1[Oct 10] ) and attempted to apply it via the ClockworkMod Recovery. Am now stuck at the HTC MAGIC splash screen. It just sits there. So I tried flashing the CyanogenMod zip I had left on my SD card and am having the same issue.
Booted up in fastboot and have the following info

I suspect I screwed the pooch somewhere, though I'm thankful I can still get into both fastboot and Clockwork Recovery.
And of course, I was silly and didn't make a nandroid backup once I got everything in place the first time.
So how do I get myself back to a working phone? I couldn't find anything that would get me going where I needed, and really am just more confused.
If it makes a difference I'm running Windows7 on my PC (it's always been a pain using HTC/Rogers RUUs due to that).
Did you do a full wipe first? data/cache/dalvik?
I hadn't before I posted, no. But I just performed both Wipe options in Clockwork and I'm still hanging at the HTC MAGIC splash.
I'd be willing to bring the phone back to stock and work up from there if necessary. At least I'd be somewhere!

you have wrong radio... for that rom u need 6.35 radio...
check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794450
I noticed that last night before I went to bed.
I tried running that program as well, in fact. Though it failed to put the new radio over.
Any attempt to use it resulted in a failure message. fastboot shows that it is receiving the package but once everything gets to the phone the Switcher shows it as failed.
Update! After using the Radio Switcher Tool at work on an XP machine all is now well.
For some reason the updates wouldn't push to the phone from my Windows7 machine but then again, I've always had finicky issues like that with it.
So I'm not running the new mod and everything is working wonderfully.
Hi,
I am not all that new to rooting / flashing i've had a lot of experience but i think i've made a school boy error.
I rooted a HTC Magic last night and added the 1.5 Hero Rom.
this morning i looked for a later ROM and i found one from the unlockr.
the issue with this was that it required a radio flash. My 32B Magic is now flashed to 32A and i cannot even get into recovery mode OR re-flash the radio.img i had originally through fastboot.
Upon boot the Magic just comes up with the Mytouch 3G spash screen and nothing else.
Details:
Rooted using gold card method, fine.
Hero rom installed: fine.
Updating the ROM however, the radio was flashed to 32A and now i cannot get back into recovery mode.
Is there anything i can do? has anyone seen this before? I really don't want to keep using the motorola dext, sorting this magic out will make me happy.
Please help.
thanks.
you cant go in fastboot mode???
[edit]No, I can get to fastboot, i can get the opening my touch splash up but nothing is working from there. i've tried the arab rom but i can't get my pc to recognize. there has to be a way to flash this back...
[edit] update - Attempted to flash stock 32B Radio to get rid of the 32A that i think's causing the issue - fastboot flash radio.img... Sends radio OK but hangs on Writing radio, I get a black screen on the device. didn't work.
I don't want to ruin the mood any more than it is now, but I did practically the same thing; flashed 32B radio onto 32A Magic, and it was unrepairable in my country. Sold it for parts a few weeks later and got another one.
No fastboot, no boot at all, nothing. All that I was able to get was the blue led mode (trackball + power), and the only repair method was JTAG, which wasn't available to me.
That sucks.
From what I can gather this very well might be dead but everything I can find tells me as long as i can get into fastboot there must be something i can do.
At the moment I can use fastboot and HBOOT but i'm unable to get to a recovery or flash a stock radio.
so far i've tried every recovery/radio i can get my hands on. Hope i'm missing something and somebody is able to help.
flashing 32B to 32A does make me feel a bit spastic to be honest. it's a mistake I can never repeat with anything!

Hi,
I recommend that you download this switcher (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794450&highlight=eyegor). Only to use the files (HBOOT, RADIO and REVOVERY), again ONLY because of the files.
After download reboot on fastboot mode and flash: HBOOT, RADIO and RECOVERY, using this sequence.
Good luck,
I'm not sure if this will deal with 32B Magic that's been flashed to 32A but i'll give it a shot. thanks.
Unfortunately there was no luck with that or the Arabic RRU, The GUI Switcher method to flash the radio failed, now phone won't even turn on.
If it wasn't a brick before, it sure as hell is now. i'll chalk this one up as a mistake i think and just be more careful in future.
