I pretty much have a semi-bricked 1.2 Fender. It is rooted and I was running stokes
custom rom. Tried to flash Cyanogen 5.08 and failed. No matter what I do, The phone just WILL NOT boot into recovery leaving me with no way to install another rom. I can't wipe or anything...Is there any way to fix this? or is it completely bricked? It will boot to fastboot and to hboot and the computer recognizes it.

Tmason58,
Dude, this happened to me last night. I was running Chromatic 4 and decided to flash the CM 6 rc1 release through Rom Manger and bam!! Same thing you experienced. Well, the only thing I could do was use my Gold Card and start over. Bummer dude, I know how you feel. Try that and see if it works.

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

[THUNK AND FIXED] Rooting Mytouch Fender LE 32a/ Mytouch 1.2 DONT!!
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.

Yes, if you have an engineering SPL, which you do not. You'll need to flash a stock ROM.
do not flash an eng spl. Our phones do not run on anything other then stock radio and spl. Also, even though it is a 32a board, only g1 /32b roms and recoveries work.
What happened to you makes no sense unless your leaving something out or tried to flash an ota Rom.
Take battery out, put it back in /hold home and power, should go into recovery. If not, I would say follow my guide in Sig to start over but you'll probably screw up on flashing the radio and spl.
you flashed a wrong radio, man

lol Oops Didnt catch that. HEs right, you have the G1 radio going. Ours should be .12 at the end... I think lol. I havent had to mess with it for a while since Universal Androot works now. But again, you may want to start over if you know what your doing. Otherwise, time to go get a replacement because flashing the radio and spl, your probably going to brick it anyway.

Umm..what?
Your radio/SPL are fine. As for your situation, did you root using the goldcard method? If you did, try doing it over and see if it'll let you into fastboot after loading the engineering sappimg.

Some roms take 10-15 min to boot up so you just gota have patience .
Also, any roms built with a Cyan kernel after 5.0.8 will work on our phones also.
IS the location working on that rom for you?
When it first cam eout I used it for months with no problems.. but then I tried to go back a few days ago and the weather/clock will not find me.
yeah with wifi it picks up my location for the weather just fine

You wont belive it but this f***in ohone has just gone and done the same problem again.....
I was charging it then powered off the device then turned it on after 30mins and its now stuck on the HBOOT screen AGAIN - grrrrrr i cant belive this thing
So now im completey stuck again - if this happens everything i charge this thing then thats not gonna be cool.
Im trying this method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734617 , posted by DonJuan692006
but because the phone cant boot up into the OS adb doesnt see it as list of devices so i cant do the goldcard and start again.....
hmmmm i might throw this thing outta the window
Without a goldcard your not going to be able to go that route. If you've still got your Hero, you can use it to make the goldcard, or any Android powered device for that matter. Maybe just wait it out and see if it just starts working as before?
i have a successful goldcard.img from my Hero will take be ok to use for the Fender you thinks ?
damm-it just tried that and SAPPIMG gives an Incorrect Model ID - because im using the Hero goldcard
damm i dont know what else to try
does anyone have a Fender Goldcard img they would like to share with me - proberly wont work but you never know i might get lucky
cheers
Hi,
I have rooted my HTC Android Donut 1.6 with Goldcard method yesterday, because simpler method wasn't working for me (It was a lot of work and lots of info to consume for first timer, wheew...). So I was back to Cupcake 1.5. Today I updated my recovery ROM to recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G, because old recovery ROM wasn't loading (Home+Power got stuck at Vodafone screen).
After that I downloaded TMUS-32B-Froyo-CM6Remix from the forum and tried to flash it through recovery mode, everything went fine, but after rebooting device wouldn't go past Vodafone screen. I tried wiping out and reflashing, tried few other ROMs, but nothing helps, same problem. I spent 4 hours trying to figure out WTF and frustration is kicking in... Please, could somebody help me out?

What were your first specs?
I really don't know. I never bothered to write them down, because I didn't expect to get to this point following tutorials, that everyone uses.
Make sure your flashing a 32b rom and did you wipe everything first
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I only tried to install 32B ROMs and always wiped out data before flashing. I even tried wiping out through fastboot and cmd.exe with command "fastboot wipe system -w".
So many views in this thread and no helpful answers. So, no one knows how to fix this? I would really be satisfied if I could at least revert it back to original OS and wouldn't touch it anymore. It's driving me crazy...
It took me whole efing day, but I finally solved the problem... I was searching google for this "SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32B ENG S-OFF H" and found some german forum. Some guy had similar problem, and had a solution for it. Now I'm back on Cupcake 1.5. Most important thing is that, I'm able to boot device.
So, could anyone suggest what steps should I take to not get in same position? What rooting path (tutorial) should I take and what precautions?

So I was "flashing" a new ROM via ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.07 earlier on my phone, and the battery was near dead, so I decide to plug it in. I didn't bother to think/realize it was plugged into the USB port on my computer, and as I did so, the installation stopped and the phone turned off. I turned it back on, to find the "MyTouch 3G" green splash screen either stuck and the phone eventually turns off, or it loops, and the phone keeps rebooting. I've tried flashing flashing the ROM again and some different ROMS I believe, with no luck. Yes I can get to the recovery screen and I can get to hboot/fastboot. Any direct troubleshooting would be very much appreciated. I don't really care what ROM I have on my phone at the moment, I just need something that works. My old blackberry is missing several keys and the rest barely work, so it would be nice having this one back up and running I've searched other threads and other forums with no luck so far. PS I don't have a Nandroid backup...thought I did, guess not though.

Flash recovery AmonRa 1.7.0G first
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then search 1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d and flash it via

fastboot flash hboot hboot.img

and able to install new 32B roms (for radio 2.22.28.25) via recovery...
p.s. Don't flash anything when battery at 30% or less
Most roms require the new radio and spl that came with the froyo update. You have the radio, but you need the 1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d spl.
