Trouble flashing new ROM - Please Help!

Hello All,
I have been trying for the past few hours to root my HTC Magic 32B (Vodafone UK) and flash Cyanogen to get me some android 2.2!
The phone was on Android 1.6 before i started the process. I have since managed to roll it back to the vulnerable 1.5 version using a goldcard and sapping.zip
I have also managed to push RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H onto the phone.
Now every time i wipe and then flash any of the cyanogen ROMs using the recovery mode, it hangs at the Vodafone screen when booting. Now I had a look around and there were suggestions of trying a different ROM. I tried this and get the same result every time. I have installed 4 different versions of Cyanogen as well as numerous other ROMS.
An interesting point, I have a magic 32b and yet when trying to push the 'G' version of the recovery-RA file, the phone does not turn up under 'adb devices' but when pushing the H version, the phone responds as it should and loads the correct recovery file. I have tried both 32A and 32B ROMs to no avail they both still lock up at the Vodafone splash screen
I can restore to 1.5 without any problems, but I dont want to be stuck on this version of Android
A little info about the phone:
Firmware version: 1.5
Build Number: 2.16.151.1 146733 CL#31685 test-keys

Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

There is guide on wiki.cyanogen you must be ona 1.5 version just read whole guide and it will be a success

If you have RA -h recovery working use it to flash hboot 1.33.2009
Then boot into fastboot and issue
Code:
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
Here you can either boot onto recovery and flash the ebi1 version of cm. (Yes historical for 32a but seems your newer rom is using the 32a radio)
Or install a 2.x radio via fastboot (you must not flash it from recovery or you will brick your phone)
Last I checked cm wiki deals with 32a radios on 32b devices badly

1) You see the last "H" in the first line of your info?
That means you need to use H-recovery and not G-recovery!!!
First problem solved....
2) You see the radio version 3.22.20.17?
Thats is only for 32A boards.. be lucky that you did not brick your device..
You need this radio and only this radio: 2.22.19.26I
But there is something wrong with combination of the info you wrote..
All 32B devices have G as the last letter in the first line of thire spl..
Are you sure that what you wrote is correct?
To solve this, flash back your stock version... use RUU or whatever... No sappimg or goldcard...
Just bring back the phone to where is was when you got it from the shop.
Then follow this guide made by me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756942
it will root you device in 5 mins... and for 5 min extra you get custom recovery and engineer spl( <-optionel)... FULL CONTROL OF DEVICE, the right way!

This is FUD .. thats why its not bricked.
3.x = EBI1 (The -h recovery [magic] and -r recovery [dream*] is EBI1)
2.x = EBI0 (The -g recovery [magic] and default recovery [dream*] is EBI0)
* Please don't install the dream recovery on the magic it won't work its missing a config file for sapphire
both magic 32a/32b can run both
HOWEVER you must have the correct kernel to boot the device and if you have a 3.x radio and flash a radio from recovery you will brick since your current recovery can't boot after the flash.
Easiest is as I said install the engineering SPL that also supports both radios and fastboot yourself a stable system.
(the only reason its not booting with the EBI1 magic32a rom now is probably its not being properly wiped)
As far as using fastboot to restore a 2.x radio and -G recovery:
32A devices (ignoring the fender for the moment) will not be able to use all their memory on a 2.x radio
32B devices run the same on both radios; however more roms assume you have a 2.x radio.

If you go to cyanogens website, the EBI1 kernel should be available in the downloads. Just reflash the 5.0.8.zip, then flash the EBI1.zip, and then GAPPS.

you rock my world haha
Thanks so much buddy, this little trick hit the spot and im now running android 2.2! hopefully its nice and easy to update my roms from now on

[FIXED] Please Help, Urgent!

Ok Guys, I know there are probably millions of threads already started about this, but I really dont know how to put it.
Not long ago I flashed the official 2.2 ROM, and tried to flash DSP manager over it. It didnt work. I couldnt boot into the rom, I had a weird SPL and radio and stock recovery. I made a goldcard, downloaded a SAPPHIMG.nbh file from god knows where, and started again. I have a horrible feeling it might of been the rogers 32A rom.
BUT, I am now stuck on 1.5, Rooted with Super One Click and I cant boot into recovery at all. I cant flash recovery through Clockworkmod, or FlashRec. It flashes it, I just can't boot into the recovery at all! I can't even do it through fastboot, because of my perfected stock SPL. A goldcard doesn't help either, I just keep getting errors. Is it possible to corrupt your recovery partition?
RADIO: 3.22.20.17
CPLD: 10
HBOOT: 1.33.0009
I feel like I'm in a really horrible situation here, but I'm glad its not fully bricked. What Solutions are there to this problem?
Thank you so much guys! I really appreciate your help, in advance
EDIT: I can use fastboot, But I still cant boot recovery, even after flashing it from there. Can I just flash a rom through Fastboot?

Well... you have to flash the right recovery...
Follow my root guide( check my signature).
Just jump the androot part of it (you already have root you say).
Flash both the recovery and eng spl.
Once the recovery and spl is all good (and you have s-off in fastboot) you should flash the right radio. I belive it's 2.22.19.26I.
Then reboot and check your fastboot info.
You should have something like this:
Sapphire pvt 32B eng s-off
Hboot 1.33.2010
CPLD: 10
Radio 2.22.19.26I
Now, flash any 32B rom and you should be good to go!
Good luck.

That would be good, If I didnt just wipe the system via fastboot thinking I could just flash another rom..

Ok... then flash the recovery using fastboot...
How come you can erase partitions using the fastboot?

Well that's because you have a perfected spl...It will not allow you to flash anything from fastboot.
You have to get access to the system again. Just flash a completable RUU for your device.
When you get your system back again, then use my guide to root and get custom recovery(check my signature).

Ok, Tried flashing an RUU, would't let me, because the phone had to be switched on and booted into android to do so. I have tried the goldcard more than 8 times, either to get a "main version is older" or "invalid CID" message. What else can I do? Have I effectively bricked my phone?

NO.. you have not bricked you phone.. when you do brick it, believe me, you will know!
You have a faulty goldcard... redo it... you should not get invalid CID!
Main version older, maybe... but not invalid CID... that's is the point with goldcard... to avoid CID checks :0)
Type this in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
Post here the outcome!

Can you also please change the title... it's not that urgent :0)

Well... the problem is that you used a 32A sappimg.zip to update your device with.
The newest RUU for the 32B device is 1.91.177.1....
So you in a not so good a situation. You cannot use the goldcard to update back in main-version (the good old main-version-older error).
I have no idea how you can get your self out of this.. i will wait until a new RUU for the 32B device is available... is should be that long... there is the 2.2 update... no still no RUU!!!
If you have any way to boot into custom recovery or the similar we can fix it... not before.

Fixed! I was on a 32A sappimg.nbh, flashed 2.53.707.2 sappimg.zip which was also 32A, but it booted (!) and from there I was able to flash the original mytouch COC10 cupcake. I ugraded to donut, then flashed the official 2.2 OTA

You have radio/spl mismatch...
You got to fix that before you can proceed.
Follow my instructions:
Download this to begin with while you READ.
http://rapidshare.com/files/45099641...al_sappimg.zip
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ EVERYTHING I WRITE.
The problem is: the device has conflicting spl and radio combo. The spl has an idea of where the radio should be and how big it is ect. When they are not matching the flash of a new radio will most likely fail.
To fix this problem, we need to flash a spl compatible with the 6.35 radio.
Here comes the trick: I have found a special rom, which is part of a 2-part update.
Once the spl is updated and the system restarted, we can now flash any ruu we want using the goldcard.
The steps to follow:
1) Read and understand the above.
2) Rename special_sappimg.zip to sappimg.zip
3) Make sure that you have a working goldcard and flash the sappimg.zip
4) Once the device has rebooted, we need to flash the stock rom and you should almost be there...
Post the progress and we will take it from there.
Hope that you will succeed... :0)

thank you very much, I will try and report back
what is "we need to flash the stock rom and you should almost be there..." ?
Can you give me a rom link fit?
a bit sorry for bad english, I'm a Vietnam

Hi,
I have the same kind of problem.
I have a 32A and I installed the wrong radio/SPL
I have the SPL : 1.33.0013d and the Radio 2.22.27.08.
Can I do this manipulation too ? :

As he states, the tool (which is programmed by me and a newer version is to be found in my signature) is only valid if you have an eng spl or s-off.
The steps i gave is to fix the mismatch which is the primary problem now... all other solutions will be futile until the issue has been dealt with.

Again.... do you have a working system?
Do you have a custom recovery?

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

What else should i try?

Yesterday I got a phone from a friend. Mytouch3g
he gave it to me because it got stuck on the green splash screen.

And i have gotten to S-OFF
Now i tried to flash some ROMs that i downloaded from here but no matter what i do it still gets stuck on the the green splash screen.
Also the recovery flash didn't stick
i always have to run this to get to the custom recovery
fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img
i don't know what else to try or what rom to try to get this thing to boot to android. And im afraid that if i keep messing with it I will brick it completely.
Please give me some ideas or directions on what to do.
Thx.
Im on TMOBILE US
OH I also tryed the RUU's but non of the US once worked.
I would just like it back to stock.

No one has any suggestions or ideas?
I spend many hours on the website and the interwebs and followed all sorts of tips and suggestions.
Also none of the threads with the stuck on the green splash have any resolution and concrete solutions.

Are you actually flashing the recovery, or just booting it? Try fastboot flash instead of boot.
Also you have the 3.22 radio, so you have to either change it, or use an ebi1 kernel. I would recommended finding ezterrys guide to update to 2.22.28.25 radio and 1.33.0013d spl

Several issues there... your flashing an old version of ra for the 3.22 radio to the system partition. You need to do this:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
And you need the G version of amon_ra recovery.
and you need to get back to an eng spl to do that...

OK well it sounds like i'm am definitively doing this wrong.
There is so much information and so many threads of doing different things, how ever i did not find one that has a complete spoon fed step by step tutorial.
STEP 1?
So download one of these from this thread

RADIO
The new froyo OTA for the Fender/MT2.1 is RADIO-2.22.28.25 This is the same 2.22.28.25 that was pushed to the 32B phones.
If you have a rooted phone and wish to upgrade you can use the safe zip file I've provided before:
update_2.22.28.25_S.zip // mirror
md5: 2e384ab42da375458fdb135063b7536b
This will verify your system can safely install the new radio and ask you to install it.
Note: please ensure you have a backup before flashing this radio sometimes is known for some wacky things on first boot until you can get into the system and verify the clock is set correctly.
HBOOT
The new 32b HBOOT is the one you have always been using 1.33.0013
I've more recently have made a hacked version 1.33.0013d primarily for the Dream to have a larger /system size; However currently I also recommend it for 32b magic/sapphire users due to its reduced restrictions on flashing NBH files, as well as access to fastboot erase.
Since I don't think there is any nbh file safe to flash on the fender/MT1.2 the benefits of installing 1.33.0013d seem minimal on your phone.. however for advanced users, it will unlock fastboot erase. (useful for swapping roms; however most people can just use Super Wipe)
If you do wish to update to this I have a special update.zip to migrate from 1.33.0013 -> 1.33.0013d
update-1_33_0013-to-1_33_0013d_S.zip

how do i flash these?

BTW i appreciate all you help and support and if i figure it out, I will put together a detailed set of instructions for others that encounter this specific issue.

You have to get an Eng spl. Probably by flashing a sappimg with one. I'm on my phone and am too lazy to find one for you.
After that just flash recovery, radio, and hboot like ezterrys thread says.
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img (1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d hboot)
fastboot flash radio radio.img ( 2.22.27.08 or 2.22.28.25)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
I'm pretty sure those commands are right, but they are from memory and could be spelled wrong or be in the wrong order.

I did flash sappimg using a gold card. Then i got the Vodaphone splash screen.
Then i flashed the myTouch 3g splash screen .
This is the tutorial that i followed.

How does one tell if they have the ENG SPL?
Do i have to do it again or can i just flash the hboot and radio and recovery?
