*HELP* Bricked / Not Bricket no clue.

Hi,
Firstly i would like to thank everyone for any help they can provide.
First some information -
I originally had an:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

Using this post here: [32A][HOW-TO] Upgrade to 6.35.07.29 Radio and 1.76.2007 SPL (Downgrade/Revert too!)
I managed to upgrade my SPL and Radio to:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.2007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.07.29

I would like to point out I was originally trying to do update to this: [ROM][32A] CursorSense32A-1.0 FINAL! Fast, stable 1.5 Sense UI ROM! [01-12-10]
After everything said and done as soon as the phone started it went to an endless loop, switching off and switching on. I tried getting into recovery (Home + Switch on) but it would stay there for a second and then reboot again. Tried getting into Fastboot (Back + Switch on) which initially i was glad to see the white screen popup but now adb devices nor fast boot devices detect the phone i get no devices listed.
I have tried re-installing the usb drivers, rebooting the pc and the phone a billion times just about everything but nothing works. I can't do anything from recovery because it stays there for a few seconds and reboots again and without fastboot i can't manage to flash it into recovery either nor can i push any files to the phone. (Even tried connecting the phone to my mac and see if i could get some sort of access to the phone but i get nothing).
I would appreciate any help pertaining to this problem.
*UPDATE*: I don't know how but i can finally see the device under fastboot devices. I am guessing the best way to go is flash another SPL even though i have the one that is to be used by the CursorSense, any suggestions? Should i try re-flashing the SPL?
**UPDATE (2)*: Tried [32A][HOW-TO] Upgrade to 6.35.07.29 Radio and 1.76.2007 SPL (Downgrade/Revert too!)
but it fails with (remote: signature verify fail)
*sigh* any suggestions....

Making a backup of an SPL, and some other noob questions

I'm wanting to flash my HTC Magic (32B) to an Android 2.1 + Sense UI ROM. I've read a million HowTo guides (some better than others ), I've decided on my ROM and Recovery Image, got all the tools installed, and I'm ready to rock n' roll.
Only there is one little problem: I have a "perfect" SPL (1.33.0006, to be precise). Now the solution is fairly simple, update the SPL to an Engineering SPL, and I'll be able to go my merry way, however before that, I need to figure out a few things:
1) Is it possible to roll back to an older SPL? Eg if I updated to say Engineering SPL 1.33.2010 from Amon_RA's Magic SPL HBOOT collection, would I be able to roll back to 1.33.0006 at a later date?
2) Can I make a backup of my current SPL, for the above purposes?
3) What's the deal with Radios? There are plenty of guides and threads about ROMs and SPLs, but very little about Radios. Would I need to update my radio (RADIO-2.22.19.26I) if I used an Engineering SPL (eg Eng SPL 1.33.2010)?

Currently running stock Android 1.6 (which seems rather slow compared to 1.5 it was running before it updated).

If you can boot into recovery to flash a new SPL then your current one is not perfected and does not need to be changed.

I can't boot into recovery. Home + Power On brings the phone to the screen with an exclamation mark in a triangle, and then it hangs (need to pull the battery out to restart). Also, remote fastboot from the PC command line fails (Remote: not allow). And according to the XDA's Magic wiki page, 1.33.0006 is one of the known perfected SPLs, which it seems that most of the Australian Magics are shipping with.

You should only need to press Home + Back (IIRC) to bring up the recovery menu to be able to reboot from this screen instead of pulling the battery.

Unfortunately they are not only shipping them with perfect SPLs, but forcing them upon users post-repair. Had a very unfortunate dealing with Fonebiz in Melbourne, HTC's only authorised repairer in Australia, they took my easy to deal with 1.33.0004 Kiwi Magic and put one of their dirty Aussie boards in it and gave me an equally dirty 1.33.0007.
But as you know, this is easily fixed with an engineering spl, but the bottom line is that 'technically' your warranty is void. In all my searching I failed to find any command that would in effect pull the current spl off the phone. That being said I would imagine that grabbing the correct sappimg.nbh that contains the hboot.img matching yours and ripping it out (possibly with psas?) The only issue you're faced with there is finding that single correct file.
Upgrading your radio shouldn't be necessary, I'm on the stock 2.22.09.26I with 1.33.2005.

Pressing Home+Back doesn't bring up a recovery menu, but it does reboot the phone.

It looks like most of the ways to break a perfect SPL require reflashing the Radio anyway, so I might not have much choice.

Details were from a phone new out of the box. I haven't quite figured out why my phone is SAPHIRE UNKNOWN 32B while almost everyone else is SAPHIRE PVT 32B

Indeed, but if you read the guides fully you are walked through reflashing the stock radio when you're done downgrading. The guide I followed included flashing a sappimg.zip the basically gave it the SPL and radio of a 32A device, then reverting it back to 32B, so you're never stuck with an upgraded radio just because you have an engineering SPL.

From my own personal experience it seems to me that this Unknown vs PVT thing is in fact related to the SPL. I started with 1.33.0007 and Unknown, while following the guide at http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/14/how-to-root-your-mytouch-3g/ my SPL was changed to 0009 and PVT, then once I flashed the engineering SPL 2005 I was back to Unknown again.
Would be very interested to find out what goes on with yours during the rooting process, if you wouldn't mind

Well, I just flashed the SPL to ENG 1.33.2010 by using this guide to make the gold card:
theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
And this guide to flash the SPL (using the provided 1.33.2010 SPL):
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218
Flash went successfully, and the phone data now reads:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Time to start flashing some ROMs

Ok, I may have hit a snag. I rooted the phone following the Unlockr guide, and then followed the next guide to install a Hero ROM on the Magic:
theunlockr.com/2009/08/17/how-to-load-hero-onto-your-mytouch-3g/
Except I used a different ROM to that.
Unfortunately I now have the problem that when I try and boot normally, the phone will hang at the Vodafone screen. I can still boot into recovery (recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G), and I can still fastboot, but it won't boot a ROM normallly.
Phone Details currently:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32B ENG S-OFF H

I can run 32A ROMs such as Amon_RA's 32A based image (as per the Unlockr rooting guide), but any 32B ROM will freeze. Anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this?
Ok, about 5 minutes after post thing, I WAS able to get a 32B rom to work. This one, in fact:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624411
However I still can't get the Android 2.1 ROM that I want to try to work:

have you had any further success with this, been able to load a ROM?

[Q] PROB stuck plz help

well im a noob to the mytouch3g but i own a slide....the prom im haveing is a friend game me his 3g cuz it was stuck at mytouch splash and well i cant get it past that
specs are
sapphire pvt 32a ship son g
hboot-1.33.0013
cpld-13
radio-6.35.10.18
so can any1 help....i can get to fastboot and hboot just not past that

He hosed the radio. The 6.35.10.18 radio is for actual 32A devices. Read through this post and the light will come on. You may be able to get the radio changed back by following the instructions in this post.

well i have tryed that sapp b4 just get to Radio V2 and sits there updating for last time i try till it went dead...i can get to fastboot hboot but not recovery

well tryed again lastnite and well sat at updateing Radio_V2 at like 90 percent for 3 hours......WHAT AM I TO DO?

Can you still get into recovery? With the phone off, turn it on holding home+power.

that takes me to the splash screen tryed.. im gonna try now that i have sd drive to use the gold card
well that didnt work hung up at thr radio_v2

Well if you can borrow a friends phone to make a goldcard, then just follow the old school guide in my sig. Hopefully it wont fail writing the radio which is what I'm thinking will happen.

i made the gold crad from my slide and well same thing gets stuck at thr RADIO_V2....then i pulled the bat and now have soff and tryed flashing radio through fastboot and the same thing get 90percent dont and hangs there

What radio did you try flashing? Either way, your going to have to flash a proper Engineering SPL that'll work with that radio, then flash the new radio, then the correct SPL. What are you showing in fastboot now?

sapphire unknowen 32a eng s0ff h
hoot 1.33.2010
cpld-13
radio-6.35.10.18

Alright, that one should be good. Where did you get the radio image your trying to flash and which radio is it?

ok so now this is what i have now
sapphire pvt 32a eng s0ff h
hboot 1.76.2007
cpld-13
radio-2.22.23.02
if thats right only prob i have now is i cant get into recovery...hold home power takes me to splash screen.....so how far off am i?

You need to get the stock SPL back on there. Flash recovery from fastboot, then flash the correct SPL, and then reboot. BE CAREFUL, if you flash the wrong SPL you may brick your phone. Give me about an hour and I'll link the correct files.

THANK YOU......i now have it back to stock had to get the right radio then i used ruu so we are back to stock.....now to root it which why do u recommend......the old or new way?

Download this, put it on the root of your SD card. With the phone booted, download/install "Appinstaller" from the market. Use it to install Universal Androot, then run the app, which will root your phone. Once Universal Androot root's your phone, start at Step #6 from this guide.

[Q] Magic without OS?

Guys, i have a major problem:
Yesterday in a process to format my cel and install the 2.3.2, i erase some files that cannot be deleted... i'm a newbie, shure messing with the recovery will cause me troubles, but i tried anyway.
Ad the result... my cel slows in the HTC Magic part, then the blue cyanogem circle starts to roll and the 'android welcome' appears (the part to touch the android to proceed)... but it won't work anything! i can touch the robot, but he don't go... just stops in this screen.
i need my cel to travel tomorrow, need this fix asap...
my spl radio configs now are this:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H

what can i do to solve? veeeery thanks, eternal thanks to someone who can helps me

I'm thinking of getting a ROM with the radio and spl version i have, and install... already have the cel rooted, so that shoudn't be a pain, right?

Not if u can get into recovery. Just wipe and flash

You got radio / spl mismatch. To load the CM rom you have to change your spl to 1.33.2010.
Download my fastboot commander (check my signature, magic version).
Inside "magicfiles" folder bundled with the tool you can find the required spl (tagged "oldspl"). Just flash that one using the tool and you should be good to go.
So, flash the 1.33.2010 spl and restart... the cm should load normally :0)

The 'just flash that one' can be made by the USB-MS Toggle in the recovery?

follow my instructions... do it from fastboot mode.
No recovery or anything... pure fastboot and the tool will take care of the rest.

I did it, now the cfs are;
HBOOT-1.33.2010
RADIO-3.22.20.17
is this right?

he said to flash just the spl.
Not the radio.

Fastboot FAILED... (remote: not allowed) problem!!

Hello everyone!
I need help with my phone ASAP. I recently tried to get Ginger Yoshi 1.5 on my phone but I needed to change my Spl and radio to 1.33.2010 and 3.22.20.17. I managed to change them both but that's when everything started going bad. When I changed them my phone went from 32A to 32B, at that moment I thought something had went wrong so I flashed back my Spl to what I think it was the stock Spl 1.33.0013. After that it went back to 32A but the radio remained 3.22.20.17. I havent changed it back or anything because now my phone is kinda bricked. I only have access to fastboot\hboot screen, but when I try to flash something it wont let me saying "FAILED (remote: not allowed)". If I try to update Hboot mode it says "Model ID incorrect! Update Fail!".
I have been searching for a solution but I haven't seen anybody else with my spl and radio combination. I'm starting to give up hope on my phone . I don't know what to do anymore. I need some help.
Yes, I'm a newbie at this. I think this is my third time changing a ROM.
Thanks in advanced for any help and/or advice!

Hi there! If by that you mean if I can actually boot a ROM then I can't, it stays in the HTC Magic screen. Or if you mean if I can get adb connection with cmd I can't also because it does not recognizes my phone. All I get access to is fastboot and hboot, though it doesn't work either.. I try to flash a new radio, spl or recovery image but it does not works. Maybe I need a new goldcard? Since it says model ID incorrect.
Thanks for your help!

Your phone is MyTouch 3G v1.2 with audiojack 3.5" and it is NOT common 32A. Don't use manuals for Magic 32A.
You flashed wrong combo and it is main problem. May be this manual will help, but i have no guarantee
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/
p.s. Megaupload links are dead cause US District Court shutdowned this site)
http://www.4shared.com/zip/hW3I1tfT/MyTouch35RootingFiles.html
http://www.4shared.com/zip/ALht1xbT/unlockr_Sappimg_mt3gv12.html
p.p.s. And you need goldcard. Must have goldcard to flash special sappimg.zip
Tech reasons of solution:
- you have perfected HBoot and can't flash anything by 'fastboot flash' command
- you have wrong radio (combo, cause hboot and radio must be together)
- if you will flash special sappimg.zip you will have 1.33.2010 s-off eng hboot. With this hboot you can flash your stock combo back (and don't forget about custom recovery for mt3g v1.2)

Yes my phone is the Fender LE. I found out that even though they say 32A they're actually 32B as well. What a way to get confused. And as you said, some links are broken because of megaupload no longer existing . I couldn't find the files that I needed. My phone is now fixed running Cyanogenmod 6.1.0 (I gave up trying to flash ginger yoshi, I don't lke the idea of having to change spl and radio).
After I found out what I had to do to fix it I thought that it wasn't so big of a deal, just flash a sappimg file with a diferent Spl and that is it, S-off and an Eng spl.
Though when it said "Model ID incorrect" I had no idea why that happened. I had to open the Hex editor again an re-edit my Sd card's code with the goldcard I had created before. After that everything went back to normal, I flashed CM6 and now my phone is up and running like a charm!
I've seen some other users with the same problem I had, maybe if someine would explain them what they need to do to fix it would be a good idea.
Thanks for explaining! And for the links.
This is what I now have:

Now can not download the Stock rom with root for MT3G 32A 1.2 because all the link are dead. Could you please give a helping hand?
