can no longer boot into recovery - myTouch 3G, Magic General

I have a rooted unlocked Magic 32b and have flashed many roms on it but it has suudenly stopped booting into recovery.
If i hold power and home it now just hangs on vodafone splash screen.
any ideas?

if you have an engineering SPL installed on the phone, you can use fastboot from the SDK to flash a new recovery image (assuming you can still get into fastboot mode on the phone)

Or you can go to Android Market and download ROM Manager & flash recovery through that application (both ClockWorkMod & Amon_RA supported). If the first flash fails don't worry just reflash the same recovery (2nd flash works every time)

Thanks for the help, I reflashed AMon-Ra recovery via fastboot and all is well.

I'm having exactly the same problem.
Think I flashed the 32a instead of 32b onto the magic uk vodafone device:
sapphire pvt 32A eng s-off h
hboot-1.76.2007 (sapp10000)
cpld-10
radio-6.35.10.18

Could you link to the recovery you managed to flash your phone using please? I've tried loads of versions via adb/flashboot and none work sadly.
Hoping I don't have to buy another phone

I have similar issue to original poster, I've flashed many roms over the last year and all have been fine until now
VOLDN+POWER, HOME+POWER, BACK+POWER are all no go.. all stuck on bootloader splash. Can someone confirm I've finally bricked my 32B?
Last SPL i put on was 1.76.2007 i think (cant confirm no fastboot..) radio was 2.22.19.26I

[Q] Help. I have problem with 32b. Stuck on image.

Hello.
I have a Htc Vodafone Magic, de version.
A few days ago i rooted and install cyanogen 5.0.7 and the i've upgraded to 5.0.8.
I used titanium backup, made a backup, and then i need it to restore. After that i couldn't use the phone.
Then i inserted the goldcard made it earlyer, where i had the rom, and update it.
It was a rom 5.0.7 with no app and no android market, and no root.
Now started in fast boot (vol down + power) and i have :
sapphire pvt 32b eng s-off H
Hboot-1.33.2010 (SAPP10000)
cpld-10
radio3.22.20.17
jun 2 2009, 17:27:03.
When i try to instal a rom it said that he cannot find any rom.
I used the link [How-To] Root and un-root the T-Mobile myTouch 3G
to revert to 32b since i so that i have 32b eng s-off H and i thought that is the problem.
i used this commands
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
It did not work.
No the phone starts and locks on the image with HTC MAGIC.
Thank you for your help.
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RAv1.2.0G.img
No the phone starts and locks on the image with HTC MAGIC.
when the phone stats with usb in it appears fastboot on a red background.
And i cannot use adb commands.
It is bricked?
the fastboot option works. i send recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G thru fastboot and the message was okay.
I think you can download radio 2.22.23.02 as zip file, put it on root of memory card, boot to recovery mode, apply this zip. Everything will be OK.
I flashed it 2 days ago for udating for my Magic radio version from 2.22.19.26I.
You can find the file on this room or I will attach it later.
thank.
i used Revert to 32B Radio and ROM procedure and made it.

I can flash a new radio on it and a new SPL on it, it takes that when i flash it
To root the phone you need to use the ENG spl 2010 flash your custom recovery, then stock radio and spl. After that, flash ROMs thru recovery. You can not use any other radio/spl at this time.

I think i bricked it now..... it stuck on a 0009 SPL and i cannot do a sappimg it wont unzip and i cannot flash a different spl it does the signature verify fail
Does your phone have the 3.5mm jack? Are you sure you've got a 1.2?
Well, If your phone still turns on and your have a working goldcard, try the ENG 2010 SPL from the Magic SPL thread. once you are back down to 1.33.2010 SPL and 3.22.x radio, fastboot your custom recovery, flash stock mytouch 1.2 radio then spl.
At that point, you won't have any OS tho. so, go into recovery, wipe all (but NOT your SD goldcard). Then flash custom ROM+gapps (if needed)
What is your fastboot info RIGHT NOW....
Remember that if you have a MyTouch 1.2 (with 3.5mm headphone jack) you MUST have the following AFTER you flash your custom recovery.
Radio: 2.22.23.02
SPL: 1.33.0013
So use the engineering SPL (2010) and 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' with a Amon_Ra 1.7.0G or Clockwork Recovery for MyTouch devices (NOT MAGIC).
Afterwards reboot to your recovery by holding HOME while booting. If you can boot into recovery then flash your stock spl (1.33.0013) back. Then flash your rom.

I had the same issue the other day while experimenting on my mt3g 1.2. What worked for me was using adb to push the stock mt3g hboot and radio and then rerooting my phone. You can download the files you need from the unlockr.com web page and skim his how-to for android in the unrooting section. Hope this helps.
does it still boot into fastboot, hboot, or recovery?

if it boots into fastboot, hboot, or recovery you are not sunk yet. you will need the "official" sappimg.zip or .nbh on your gold card, but it should go through the steps and re-image it.. this will get your phone back to stock.
are you using a Tmobile MyTouch 1.2? or are you using a Rogers Magic?
the files will be different as the hardware requires differnent drivers.
there are many links on this site, or theunlockr.com that will get you the correct files you will need. make sure you check the md5 sums on anything you download to make sure its not corrupted before trying to flash it.
hope this helps.

Flashed 32B radio on 32A, Now showing as 32B in Fastboot, No Recovery

I have a T-Mobile branded MT3G 1.2 that I flashed today's CM nightly onto and the screen got the green tint issue. I looked into it and read I need to flash pershoot's kernal to fix it, but i needed the new radio (I had the 2.22 and all the 32A kernels said they were for 3.22).
I tried to fastboot the 32A radio, but got an error because it was a perfected SPL (I think thats why, at least), so I tried to flash an ENG SPL for 32A, using the files for reverting back from 6.35.07 radio to 3.22 for the 32A from gadget-space.com I flashed the HBOOT.zip using RomManager, and when I rebooted, the phone did not get past the splash screen. Couldn't boot into recovery but fastboot works.
now it's showing this in the fastboot info:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Jun 2 2009,17:27:03
No matter what HBOOT I flash, i can't get it to change back to showing 32A. Also I've tried reflashing Amon Ra's Recovery and still can't get back into there.
Any ideas on how to get this phone working again?
I did the same thing as you trying to install the official T-mobile Froyo OTA ported for the 32A. After flashing the radio and spl I could no longer get the phone to boot or go into recovery. The only thing I could do was fastboot. After trying half a dozen SAPPIMG.zip files I managed to find the correct one. All I had to do was put the SAPPIMG.zip onto the sd card, put it in my phone, fastboot to hboot and it should unzip the SAPPIMG and install on your phone. Not sure if this will work for you but it's worth a shot.
found the unrooted imgboot.zip, flashed it and re-rooted with androoter, now all is well.
Now that I have this back to a working phone, should i update the radio?
I have no idea but now that I'm back to stock 1.6 I think I'm just gonna wait for the T-Mobile official OTA Froyo for the 32A. It should be out fairly soon and it'll be better than any 2.2 rom you'll find online since it was designed specifically for the 32A and not ported over or anything.
Where did you find the unrooted img.zip i been looking all over the net?

HTC Magic recovery and downgrading FAILED

Hi, i'm new in rooting HTC (just for the record).
So, I have HTC Magic Vodafone with
SAPPITE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP100000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
I've been using this tutorials to update my Android:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838805
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
I was doing great, but after updating hboot my phone was not boot. What is more, earlier I couldn't flassh RA's recovery, so I boot it and after that my operatins system don't start and I can't flash it through RA's recovery mode.
So I did the unrooting with
RUU_Sapphire_Vodafone_GER_1.91.162.1_DRC92_signed_NoDriver
It looked normal. But then I was trying with Cyanogen, but this custom recovery wont boot. It wont boot at all.
Also I can't downgrade my SAPPIMG.nbh like this. I even made goldcard, but it still do not leting me downgrade (Older version error)
I want to flash my phone with new ROM, but geting deaper and deaper
What cen you recomend to me?

[Q] Cannot flash custom ROM, what am I doing wrong?

I decided to use my old HTC Magic as a second phone, but I realised that 1,5 is too old. So I thought I should root it and flash a custom recovery and ROM, how difficult can it be, right?
The phone is a black Magic without the 3,5 jack. I believe it's unbranded, the splashscreen is HTC.
Info before doing anything on it:
PVT 32B SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT 1.33.0010 (SAPP 10000)
CPLD - 7
RADIO 3.22.20.17
I found out that the HBOOT is a "perfected" SPL, so I followed a guide with the goldcard to flash a stock ROM with another SPL.
Info after that:
PVT 32B SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT 1.33.0009 (SAPP 10000)
CPLD - 7
RADIO 3.22.20.17
I also followed the guide in this forum to root the device and flash an eng SPL. now the SPL is 1.33.2010.
Amon_RA's recovery did not work for me, the home button (for confirmation) is not working in recovery. Instead, I flashed Clockwork recovery and I was able to have full functionality in recovery mode.
Now I am trying to install a custom ROM. Most links are broken, so I went with what was available: Cyanogen 5.0.7 final with GAPPS and Cyanogen 6.1.
The problem is that both ROM's I tried will install successfully, but when I reboot the phone it will just hang on the HTC logo.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance.
A lot of frustration accompanied by the fear of bricking the phone results in a great deal of stupidity...
I hadn't flashed a kernel.
Please mark this as solved.
