I had an htc fuze with wm, iphones, and now i bought a used htc magic/mytouch.
Im not sure whats the difference but i do need lots of help.
The Phone says t-mobile in the front, my touch logo and with google on the back and when i turn it on it says vodafone and then htc magic so im not sure what i have. and it doesnt have a 3.5mm headphone jack, it has the usb headphone jack.
I´ve been trying to root the phone for the last 8 hours with no luck. I´ve used 5 guides and non have worked for me. I used amon ras guide and i think thats the closest i´ve gooten to root the phone.
When i got the phone it had android 1-6 and i read the theunlockr one click guide that said i had to download to 1.5 so i did. then i checked my mb version and it said 32 b but when i run flashrec it said i have EAI1/32A. Not sure what that means. I ran the command and when i tried to go to recovery to install a rom i only got the original recovery screen and not the custom.
With amon raps guide i flashed with goldcard and flashed the hboot 1.33.0005and flashed a 32a rom and radio and amon ra´s recovery and then returned to 32b radio and installed cyanogenmon rom froyoredux 1.2- everything went well but when i turned on the phone it got stuck on the vodafone splash, i left it there for over 20 minutes and nothing happend. I flashed again with my goldcard and im back at 1.5 and unrooted. I´ve done some more guides but it was almost the same but none worked. the closest i´ve gotten to 2.2 is this last guide but i get stuck at splash. Ive also tried other rams, thinking maybe theres a problem with the one i used and no luck.
Then i took my friends htc magic 32A and used amon ra´s and it worked perfectly the first try but my 32b i can´t root it. please help, i really dont like 1.5 i feel im missing out on too much stuff. here the info from the phone i get when i press return+power

one more thing, i live in Chile and we use the at&t 3g bands is there any way to change the bands from t-mobile and be able to use the at&t bands. My phone is sim unlocked but i can only use edge data and no 3G
thank you very much.
I was going to try to help but can't since I've only got experience with the myTouch 1.2. Sorry, gl anyways.
so, here´s an update of what ive done since yesterday. I found cyanogen guide on rooting that didnt involve a a gold card but when i flashed the sappimg it said fail main version older. then i passed to cyanogens second guide that was a mix of his and amon ra´s no luck either, i mean i can flash everything, including the radio and back to the 32b rom but then it stays stuck at the splash screen. If i put the gold card in again with the sapp, i go back to 1.5 and boots up perfectly but i cant do it with any other rom. Then i tried a mix of all the guides, i even updated my spl to 1.33.2010 and then flashed a 32a rom and 32 radio and nothing, i really dont know how im so lucky that my htc hasn´t bricked after all these things but kid you not i´ve trioed over 100 ways to do it and no luck. I´m pretty sure it has something to do with the radio, right now i have radio 3.22.23.18and hboot1.33.2010. can any one help me please

Hello All,
OK so i bought a used HTC MAGIC. When i bought it, it was already rooted, and had the ROGERS HTC ROM. But i wanted to load a different ROM onto the phone and in order to do that i had to unroot the phone and start from scratch to be able to root my phone in one click, as instructed by theunlockr.com
On the same site i found a method to unroot the HTC Magic, the link provided gave me a "sappimg.nbh" that ended up unrooting my phone while flashing the My Touch 3G from T-Mobile onto the phone.
In order to root my phone again i followed the steps on theunlockr.com "How-to root the magic in one click". it said that if your motherboard is 32A download the Amon_RA's "recovery-rav1.2.1h.img". my phone specs are:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAP50000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-2.22.19.261
BUT after multiple attempts and fails i tried flashing the Amon_RA's "recovery-rav1.2.1g.img", which is designed for 32B motherboards, and it was a success.
BUT once again i tried to load a different ROM and seeing that my motherboard is 32A i tried to load ROMs designed for 32A. It would NOT work, the MY TOUCH 3G screen would pop up and stay there forever.
I then tried to load ROMs designed for 32B motherboard and guess what it worked.
Plus when i load HERO ROM's onto my phone it goes very very slow, and right now i have a cyanogen ROM on the phone and it is working perfectly fine.
SO i hope by now you can understand where the confusion lies...the motherboard is 32A but only ROM's desgined for 32B work on the phone.
I would prefer to start from scratch and put my phone back to the ROGERS ROM, rooted or unrooted doesn't matter. So if anyone can provide me a "sappimg.nbh" for the HTC Magic that will flash the ROGERS ROM to my phone i would greatly appreciate it.
Even when i load ROGERS ROM's onto my phone i still get the MY TOUCH 3G boot image.
Im afraid i might encounter problems later due to all these different ROM flashings, so i would like to start from scratch.
Please help me in this matter either by explaining what is going on with my phone, and/or providing me with the correct files ("sappimg.nbh") to reset my phone back to the ROGERS ROM.
Were you able to figure this out? I have a similar issue.

when you flashed over the nbh for the mytouch, you basically made your phone a 32B. the radio and spl for a 32B is different than a 32A. That's why only 32B roms work on your phone. To fix this, all you have to do is flash over the 32A radio and spl, then you are good.
This thread will get you back to a 32A setup. All your problems will be fixed from there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544761
What surprises me is that flashing over the nbh didn't brick your phone because of the different spl's. You lucked out I guess.
That link will get put the 32A radio and recovery on your phone. From there, you should be able to hopefully flash the spl over without any problems. can't guarantee it though since I have never seen a similar situation as yours is.
Fixed: I couldn't flash using adb, but was able to get into fastboot. As a last resort, from fastboot I ran the executable from the HTC website (RUU_Sapphire_Rogers_WWE_2.17.631.2_release_signed_NoDriver.exe from http://www.htc.com/ca/support/magic-rogers/downloads).
It reset everything to default, including perfected SPL, but from there it was easy to re-root.
i have the same problem
i have the same problem with u now, please tell me how you fix it, cause i cant update the official RUU with the current condition, it wont recognize the device.
TIA
Let me explain to you the whole story. I obviously know im going to get flamed for this one. I will give you the short short version
I had a rooted MT3G fender with this Rom installed
http:/forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669911
It worked all good until i started messing with stuff. I wanted this rom installed
http:/forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=673394
Since it said 32a and MT3G fender is 32a i assumed that it will install and no problems. So i used the gold card to change radio and spl to the 3.22 series. only to find out that they dont work for my phone. based on this post

http:/forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622530
So now im thinking great i didnt catch that so let me just move back to where i was before. using the last section of that previous thread to install the stock radio and spl. i have done this already and know it works. so i install the stock radio and spl and the custom recovery. Boot up into recovery and restore nandroid. everything is going ok utill.....it locks up in a boot loop. i then boot back up into recovery and erase data. after that i tryed another nandroid restore and to my wonderful surprise i now lost the ability to mount the sdcard. i restarted and tryed many different cards and all failed. I then boot up into hboot restore with the goldcard and it then locks up at system.
Great now im looking for something to fix this whole mess. after that i try to reinstall the original spl and radio. I then have an error "signature verify failed." Now im thinking WTF!!!!!
I then find a thread about the RUU and how to turn off "S-on" if i install this official HTC app. However come to find out its the asia version. WONDERFUL FOR ME!!! I then found the Official T-mobile MT3G RUU, installed it and now i have a fastboot installed with a memchip with a red circle around it, not the 3 skate droids, and cant boot into HBOOT ,with the volume down button. All that i see is "RUU USB." I have adb but now get the error "remote not allowed." it used to be "signature verify failed." i have no recovery, no HBOOT, just fast boot with RUU USB.
How to i fix this mess up and get back to this?

I actually am stuck on the same screen with the same phone. I hope someone has been able to get this fixed
Damn, not trying to be mean, but you screwed up a lot.
I have the same version device as you, and I upgraded my radio/SPL. and did a lot of stuff, i semi-bricked it, but i got it working again. I suggest you re-root your whole entire phone. including flashing all the radios, spl,recovery, and etc.
Try following this theunlockr[DOT]com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/
The problem is that the phone is stuck in a bit of an interesting state. You can't flash from an RUU at this point because the engineering SPL used to root the phone is version 2.53.x, while the RUU's ROM is 2.10.x. You also cannot flash any images to the phone because the SPL is locked (S-ON). So the only way to fix the phone at this point would be to somehow get an HTC-signed 2.53+ ROM for the SAPP31000 (mytouch 3g 1.2/fender) or find a way to unlock the SPL. I had a nice chat with some of the Modaco guys and we went through a lot of options with none of them working. The phone's basically in a bit of a chicken vs. egg state. So personally, I will be building a serial cable to manually unlock the SPL so that I can flash images back on manually.
So, while I wish it was as easy as just re-flashing the phone, you can't do that with a locked SPL and no HBOOT mode available. Onward to a serial/TTL cable advendure!
Once I get the parts in to build it, I'll follow up here with my results

Hi all,
I semi-bricked my phone about 2 weeks ago and have been trying to fix it since then to no avail.
I have a Mytouch 3G 1.2/LE Fender edition
I'm trying to install a custom ROM and cannot get into recovery mode or the original OS(as I semi bricked it.)
I followed the Cyogen mod instructions (and many other sites too) directions and everything runs smoothly until I try to boot into recovery mode.
I have held the power and home button down for 5+ minutes and nothing appears, I'm stuck on the HTC Magic screen.

Trying to boot into the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G-cyan.img recovery image.
Anyone experienced this and solved it? Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
edit: After letting sappimg.zip update, I can reboot and boot into some basic OS. Though no touchscreen capabilities or market installed.
Ok.. After you have used the SAPPimg file to downgrade... Your gona have to go back through the painful process of changing the spl and radio back. My guide is in my sig.
After you have got the stock fender/mytouch 1.2 rom back on (since they arent the same phone, I wish people would specify which they are using) You can download rom manager from the market, flash clockwork recovery, then download the newest Cyan rom.
Start with that and read up from there.
Turns out I have the 1.2 not the Fender LE, sorry I assumed they were the same thing.
I managed to fix my phone and install the Cyanogenmod.
I flashed the engineerings SPL and then found the original T-mobile sappimg.zip and flashed that. From there I installed universal androot and rom manager and installed the cyanogenmod. It's working great now. My phone is so much faster and cooler with froyo.
Thanks for the reply crypysmoker.
lol.. How can you get the mytouch 1.2 and the fender edition mixed up. Fender edition says FENDER and is a sunburst color.
They are the same exact hardware though.
Glad you got it.

It is possible you canpost links in here to where you find the engineering SPL and the T-Mobile sappimg.zip?
I have a 1.2 in the same condition as yours were previously.
I've got a guide with both. Just go to my profile and look at threads started by me.

I recently bought a second hand HTC Magic and flashed an engineering SPL(This booted ok). I have installed Amon Ra's recovery(Which seems to work fine) however it will not boot after installing a custom ROM (i have tried cyanogen 5 & 6 and yoshi's) it just hangs on the HTC Magic screen.

Can anyone suggest what the problem might be?
Something i noticed was that i used to have a G instead of a H, could this be it.
That radio requires 32A ROM's. If you flash CM ROM's, you need to also flash the appropriate EBI1 kernel from their download section.
Thanks for that info. I have now got cyanogen mod 6 installed.
Unfortunately I cant connect to the mobile network. when i bought the phone i expected it to be locked to Vodafone and expected it would ask me for an unlock code when i put in my Giffgaff sim. Does this mean it is unlocked? Giffgaff is on the O2 network so i have tried selecting that in the network operaters list, however it says that my sim does not allow a connection to this network. Also i tried a vodaphone and an orange sim out of some other peoples phones but they didnt work either.
Something seems wrong here.
The device says it's 32B, so is the SPL, but the radio is 32A.
Even on the MyTouch 1.2 the SPL would show 32A, correct?
Which I doubt this is because the UK is in the UK, and they're referring to it as a Vodafone Magic (note: in other countries Voda uses 32A Magics).
I think this is a 32B device w/ a 32A radio, which would explain the connection issues.
There was another thread about that radio being a 32A radio but it also works for 32B devices. He probably would be better off with another radio, but according to that thread it should still work.
EDIT: Here we go.

Ok - i tried to flash a new radio (2.22.23.02). I think ive bricked my phone as i cant go into fastboot anymore or recovery. it just sits on the HTC Magic screen
EDIT: is the only way out of this with jtag
Checking his ip address shows that he's from the UK which would make it a 32A device. His SPL said in the first post Eng S-OFF which means that he possibly flashed the wrong SPL but still had the correct radio. But this was possibly done during the rooting process because his phone didn't brick but he still experienced issues. I think that in this case the correct method would to have been to figure out what the right spl would have been (probably just use stock to be safe) and just flashed that. But now that he tried to use a 32B radio it sounds like he just finished bricking it.

Sounds about right, however the *only* carrier in the UK that sells the Magic is Vodafone, they use 32B devices (hence google branding and not HTC, lack of 3.5mm jack).
It was defiantly a 32B to start with and i am from the uk. I flashed an engineering sappimg as that was what was recomended to escape the perfected spl. Can u tell me if this is fully bricked?
I can get £30 at a mobile recycling site, will that be the best way out as i have none of the stuff needed for jtag (and it looks pretty hard).
Hello,

And I want to put Yoshi Froyo (or any good android 2.2).
So I looked at a bunch of articles and started following one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756918) and I got my phone rooted (with superuser permissions and all that jazz).
Okay cool, so now I need a recovery image. I installed the one listed (Recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img) and then I restarted my phone and went into recovery just to make sure it worked, and it did.
Okay so now I went to the thread and read it all and found some instructions
"-Make sure you have the .27.08 or .28.25 radio and .0013(d) spl... if not see extras...
-Superwipe twice
-Recovery wipe the list twice
-install ROM
-Enjoy ^__^"
So now I know I don't have a .27.08 radio and I don't know what spl I have, but I assume I don't have that one either. So I go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909900 as it said and read it, but here is where I become confused.
Do I need to downgrade to 1.5 or 1.6? Or can I do it from 2.1? I tried following (http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/) and the SAPPIMG.nbh came up invalid, so then I tried another one and it also came up invalid.
So here is my question, do I need to downgrade in order to install a custom rom? I've read a bunch of conflicting material and I don't have any desire to brick my phone. Some say I do some say I don't.
Any help? thanks!
Well first of all you have a diff radio then most of us cause of rodgers. And the 2708 is a dream radio not magic same with the spl you mentioned. As long as you have root you can custom rom.
And I would recommend cm6.1 stable I find it more stable then yoshi's right now I like yoshi's but I think it still has a little way to go.
