I've recently rooted my HTC Magic, since it had the 0007 PSPL.
Now the phone is as follows:
Sapphire PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.76.2007
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.10.18

I'm using Amon RA Hero Recovery 1.6.2
When I flashed the first ROM, it went well. Then I went into Nandroid through recovery, and made a backup, before flashing another ROM.
After using the new ROM for a few hours, I wanted to go back to the one I had made a backup of and so I went in the recovery and pressed the Nand restore option.
This is where an error message was displayed, which told me to make the restore through the console. I opened the adb and tried restoring from there. It gave out a FAILED status on the data.img restore.
I then checked the MD5, and it displayed the data.img as corrupt.
Now I made another backup using nandroid, and went on to check the MD5 before flashing a new ROM. The data.img is corrupt again!
Where can the problem lie? I am new to the whole stuff but manage to find my way around by reading info here and there.
Any suggestions?

i have a rogers magic with the perfected spl, i tried the one click rooting method anywayz cause i read it worked for some ppl, well it worked for me also, and i flashed the latest recovery image from amon ra and also wiped and loaded amon ra's 1.6.2 donut rom, everything went perfectly. the thing is lightning wont strike twice cause i cannot seem to use the one click root again and it has gone back to the stock recovery image.
Edit: I still have the recovery image loaded, and the perfect spl, should i just count my blessings or should i attempt to change my spl????
One touch root does not work on donut.
This is how to root a donut phone
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-root-a-donut-phone-android-1-6/
You must downgrade to 1.5 cupcake first to root again.
No guys, i have a rogers magic, which means i was running 1.5 cupcake cause rogers refuses to update, i had to update that rom to fix the sms timestamp issue, as a result i have the perfect spl, but i tried the one click root and it worked to my surprise, so i then loaded the Amon Ra 1.6.2 donut rom and it worked flawlessly, i'm running it right now with no issues so far.
My question is should i try to change the perfected spl although i have root or should i carry on as normal
Wonder how the recovery can just go back to stock default??
Are you positive you actually flashed the recovery image into your phone and didnt just use adb to boot into ra recovery image ?
Somethings sounds very odd here :S
Yes i'm sure, i made an error, the recovery did not go back to stock. i was getting my timing wrong on the button pressing. i still have the latest amon ra recovery image which is 1.5.2 i think.
Its a PVT 32A Ship S-On H
Hboot-1.33.0010 (SAPP50000)
CPLD- 12
Radio-3.22.20.17
Is this the perfect SPL, if so how was i able to loada custom recovery image and most importantly shoud i try to change it or leave it alone.
I'm running Amon Ra 1.6.2 Donut rom now
any help would be appreciated
did the same tut from the unlockr and it works... its rooted and with amons recovery rom and im running the hofo rom aswell as i just updated the recovery rom so i can confirm its rooted
I had Leak 2.1v3 on my phone, and following the XDA thread, I've successfully rooted my Eris using the stock 8gb card. Twice. I re did the root thinking I corrupted the RUU file, or something else during the initial root. I have Amon recovery installed and accessible at will.
I have full access to my phone with adb shell with SU access, but I'm unable to boot into any custom rom. So far I've tried Evil Eris 3.0 and Aloysius. They install without errors, but on reboot the phone to access the rom, the phone will freeze or loop. I've tried waiting over 20 minutes with the HTC boot screen flashing about every 15 seconds after installing Aloysius.
I'm still showing hboot 1.49.0000 S-ON. Is this what is stopping me from booting a custom rom? Or am I missing something that will change the security status to off?
Suggestions? What am I missing?
Thanks
Ok, looks like I got somewhere, I managed to install the grdlock beta rom. Not sure why the other roms wouldn't install tho. They all came from the same source. hboot is still 1.49.0000 S-ON tho.

The new rooting method ("Incredible/Slide") does not currently replace the S-ON bootloader, so phones rooted this way will not have 1.49.2000 S-OFF on them.
As for your troubles, you need to Wipe /data (FR) in Amon_RA recovery before you install a new ROM. Amon_RA does not enforce wiping of the /system and /data partitions before a new rom is loaded from the SD card, so you probably ended up with a mixture of old ROM and new ROM in a couple of places. (The dev can pre-clean those partitions in the update-script, but I'm not sure if that happens for the ROMs you mentioned.)
Always a good idea to wipe before a new ROM install (not necessary for a Nandroid restore, though, because it does a wipe itself).

I thought I'd wiped those caches within Amon recovery. Good to know that I'm not going insane with the 1.49 S-ON tho! I couldn't find anything anywhere to let me know the S-ON was normal. After I get everything up and running with the grdlock rom, I'll back it up and try one of the other roms, being darn sure to wipe everything Amons will let me wipe first. Thanks for the info!
It appears that the rom files that I was using were corrupt. Without the md5 info for those files I had no way of checking. I went to a different site and downloaded Aloysius 12, and it's up and running just fine now
Thanks for the nudges in the right direction!
I have read all the other Mytouch 4g stuck splash threads but, this is one different.
After rooting the phone, I got S=OFF, So I installed Clockwork and flashed CM 6.1.2-RC2. I received no error messages, but on reboot, it just stays on the Splash.
Here is the info from HBOOT:
GLACIER PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT 0.85.2007 (PD1510000)
MICROP-0429
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
OCT 11 2010 12:44:14
The Clockwork Mod is:
Clockwork Mod Recovery v3.0.0.0
I have done wipe data/factory and wipe cache partition
Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Gave error E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Fix Permissions
and I have flashed the CM Mod 6.1.2 RC-1 as well.
What else can I try to get my phone to work again?
I'm pretty sure it was said that you can't flash CM6 with Clockwork Recovery 3, and you can't flash CM7 with with CWR 2, and that doing it will brick your phone.

Your problem is that you're using the wrong recovery to flash cm6. That requires cwm 2.5.1.2. To fix this, flash either cm7 or evils miui rom, boot that up, then use rom manager to flash the correct recovery for cm6, if you still wish to use it.

Thanks to all those that replied and for that great info.
Good news: My phone is not bricked
More good news: I had to install a nightly build called CM_Glacier_full-22 and that did the trick, just like you said.
Now i just gotta find out how to get all the apps (market and things) back on.
Thanks all!

to answer the uspoken question there, to get the market and other google apps back flash the google apps zip from the same place you got the nightly build. (here's a link, just in case: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/14459-nightlies-cm7-discussion-of-nightlies/ and its the link marked gapps. to reinstall the rest of your apps, if you have titanium backup, use that, but otherwise it will require manual redownloads from the market.
Thanks for the update, I was able to get the gapps zip and load it with CWM all is fine apps,contacts and all.

excellent to hear, dude glad I could help out
Ok guys i am sorry to bother all of you but i made a stupid mistake. i think i didnt slept well.
So instead of wiping out my SD Card in recovery mode, something got into me to wipe the misc,recovery,data,cache and everything!
I have access to FASTBOOT and the info is as follows:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP100000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
version-main: 2.16.707.3
Is there any method i can unbrick my phone?
Goldcard.
Or setup ANDROIDSDK, put the custom recovery in the tools folder, open a command prompt there and type "fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img" and reflash your ROM.

thanks for the advice i will try it
hi it would seem that i can find a recovery image here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492 and install it.
i can get to home + power = clockwork mod recover v 2.5.0.1
i can install a zip from sdcard but after reboot it still shows the HTC Magic screen!
ok if i remember what i did wrongly this is what i did
in partitions i:
format boot
format system
format dat
format cache
format sdcard
format sd-ext
after this i can still get into recovery. can my phone be saved?
Yes it can... easy :0)
1) download CM 6.1 ROM from here: http://goo-inside.me/cm/dream_sapphire/stable/update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip
2) Also download the EBI1 kernel from here: http://briancrook.ca/android/cm-ports/bc-6.1.0-ebi1-signed.zip
3) Restart into recovery
4) wipe ALL <- important
5) flash the ROM
6) flash the EBI1 kernel
7) reboot and you should be OK.
thanks! i will give it a try.
hi i am able to boot into this rom. but this rom is not quite usable. it doesnt have a market place and all. what do i do with this rom?

You should now have a fully funtional rom by CyanogenMod(CM)

thanks so much for the help. one thing i notice is that the clorkwerk recovery couldnt be installed properly.
what is a more stable ROM that you should advise that i use for long term?
There are many options to chose from.
You got the 32A board - CPLD-12.
You can use the new radio / old radio combos to chose from many different roms.
But to stick to your original problem, i think the main problem was that you did not wipe correctly causing the new rom to fail.
Always remember to wipe when installing a new rom unless it known to be "upgradable" from earlier versions/roms.
I will read around the forums and have a look at the development section for other roms.
For the old radio combo which you currently have, i will dare to claim that the CM 6.1 is the best choice!
But again, i bet that there are many willing to dispute that postulation :0)
hi mumilover, i am sorry for the noob question but when u say wipe what do you mean specifically?
because i did a :
format boot
format system
format dat
format cache
format sdcard
format sd-ext
am i suppose to wipe that much things? i suppose system, cache and dat can wipe but should i format the boot and system?
Hi Everyone,
Currently I am running GV 1.5 on my G2 and wanted to migrate to the Desire Z HBOOT using zedomax's video as Virtuous ROM's migration process basically was too complicated. Well I went through the exact steps as zedomax showed. After updating the HBOOT and removing the PC10IMG.zip file I rebooted and bootloader shows: Vision PVT ENG S-OFF, HBOOT- 0.84.2000, RADIO- 26.02.01.15_M2. Now I went into recovery and restored my recent backup. Then it just sits at the HTC screen and has sat there for over 15mins and just doesn't boot! I pulled the batt then I just did a full wipe and tried the restore several times and It still just sits at the HTC splash screen. I have adb drivers installed properly so if anyone has some things to try using adb to maybe deal with these issues hopefully I can get this resolved. Thanks!
Clockwork Mod update problem...
I realized that when I was using my latest restore save it wasn't passing the checking md5 sums. So before when I flashed CWmod it was 5.x after that I did a backup. When I updated to Desire Z HBOOT and got to recovery it said recover 3.4.x so I'm guessing thats why It wasn't restoring my backup becuase it was created with 5.x, so w/e doesn't matter now.
