Dear users,
I wanted to root HTC Magic with the following helpful tutorial.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how-to-root-the-htc-magic-in-one-click/
However, I faced a problem about the motherboard version. When I check the motherboard version as tutorial suggested, I saw that it is 32B. However, Recovery Flasher app claims that it is EBI1/32A and it does not allow to flash the recovery image of 32B.
On the other hand, when I checked /proc/meminfo file, it says that
MemTotal: 99708 kB
MemFree: 12068 kB
which is 32B as suggested by Amon_Ra
So, I am confused. Could you please tell me which recovery image should I use? A small background information, I bricked the phone before with rooting procedure by the same reason and gave it back and got it refurbished. So, I am not sure but the motherboard information recorded somewhere else may mislead the Recovery Flasher application.
Thank you,
Omer
Which version of the recovery you should use is dictated by the version of your radio, not motherboard.
2.xx.xx.xx - G version
3.22.xx.xx - H version
hope it helps!
Thank you for the reply. I checked the radio version and it was 3.22.xx.xx. So, I tried the HTC version. However; The recovery manager didn't let me flash with this image. I think, I have the same situation as this post has
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=680793
But, I didn't yet root my device.
Thank you,
Omer
What exactly spl do you have?
Turn off, then turn on by pressing Back + Power, post first 5 strings.
If you have 1.33.2010 S-OFF you can revert back to radio 2.22.XX.XX
This is the 5 lines.

Should I root it first or revert back the radio?
Thank you for your help.
Since you have s-off already, just download 1.33.2005 SPL and do
fastboot flash hboot 1.33.2005
and
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Wrong forum by the way dude
But before flashing SPL, shouldn't I flash radio? Sorry to ask newbie questions but I am really lost and I don't want to brick the device.
By the way, My device is HTC Sapphire aka HTC Magic. That's why; I wrote in here. Is it wrong?
Thanks.

You have 2 methods to restore 32B radio and hboot and get ability to flash 32B-roms
Method 1.
As you wrote - you have S-OFF, so fastboot commands are allowed
You can simply run
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader
where:
radio.img - radio 2.22.19.26I

Unpack it from archive
recovery.img - Amon_RA Sapphire recovery 1.6.2 G version
Important: flash radio then hboot. Don't reboot after flashing only radio.
Method 2. You can use rom.nbh from official update for 32B Magics:
create goldcard
unpack rom.nbh and rename to sappimg.nbh, copy it to goldcard
flash in hboot-mode (VolumeDown + Power)
You will get 1.33.0007 perfected SPL, so you must root device next
But one thing... you have S-OFF - may be you have engineering device - so you can use fastboot commans always - it makes flash-process very easy)
5 thank you for the instructions. This is what i was looking for. If any other experienced user confirms it might work, i would like to take the risks and do the instructions then share the results.
Experienced users, what do you think?

Mmm. It's hard. All ROMs for MT3G 1.2 marked [mt3g 1.2] or something special
You must not use [32A]-marked ROMs
Forum need to be restructuzired...
Thanks for that VALUABLE TIP. That's good to know also. I've noticed you have S-OFF H and I have S-ON G, is my less or what? Haven't found anywhere that could explain the configurations properly

S-OFF - it is hboot without security. It means, that everyone can use fastboot commands without any warnings.
Magics have S-OFF, if it developer or engineering device OR if hboot patched by someone
There are some patched (engineering) hboots for Magics, but not for [MT3G 1.2]
In manual to root patched hboot is using, but if you stay with it - touchscreen does not work. Don't know why.
Thanks 5. I believe I'm good now, just have to be patient and await the arrival of new ROMS for my MT3G 1.2
Appreciate all your assistance in helping understand better about my phone.

Ok Guys, I know there are probably millions of threads already started about this, but I really dont know how to put it.
Not long ago I flashed the official 2.2 ROM, and tried to flash DSP manager over it. It didnt work. I couldnt boot into the rom, I had a weird SPL and radio and stock recovery. I made a goldcard, downloaded a SAPPHIMG.nbh file from god knows where, and started again. I have a horrible feeling it might of been the rogers 32A rom.
BUT, I am now stuck on 1.5, Rooted with Super One Click and I cant boot into recovery at all. I cant flash recovery through Clockworkmod, or FlashRec. It flashes it, I just can't boot into the recovery at all! I can't even do it through fastboot, because of my perfected stock SPL. A goldcard doesn't help either, I just keep getting errors. Is it possible to corrupt your recovery partition?
RADIO: 3.22.20.17
CPLD: 10
HBOOT: 1.33.0009
I feel like I'm in a really horrible situation here, but I'm glad its not fully bricked. What Solutions are there to this problem?
Thank you so much guys! I really appreciate your help, in advance
EDIT: I can use fastboot, But I still cant boot recovery, even after flashing it from there. Can I just flash a rom through Fastboot?
Well... you have to flash the right recovery...
Follow my root guide( check my signature).
Just jump the androot part of it (you already have root you say).
Flash both the recovery and eng spl.
Once the recovery and spl is all good (and you have s-off in fastboot) you should flash the right radio. I belive it's 2.22.19.26I.
Then reboot and check your fastboot info.
You should have something like this:
Sapphire pvt 32B eng s-off
Hboot 1.33.2010
CPLD: 10
Radio 2.22.19.26I
Now, flash any 32B rom and you should be good to go!
Good luck.

That would be good, If I didnt just wipe the system via fastboot thinking I could just flash another rom..
Ok... then flash the recovery using fastboot...

Well that's because you have a perfected spl...It will not allow you to flash anything from fastboot.
You have to get access to the system again. Just flash a completable RUU for your device.
When you get your system back again, then use my guide to root and get custom recovery(check my signature).

Ok, Tried flashing an RUU, would't let me, because the phone had to be switched on and booted into android to do so. I have tried the goldcard more than 8 times, either to get a "main version is older" or "invalid CID" message. What else can I do? Have I effectively bricked my phone?
NO.. you have not bricked you phone.. when you do brick it, believe me, you will know!
You have a faulty goldcard... redo it... you should not get invalid CID!
Main version older, maybe... but not invalid CID... that's is the point with goldcard... to avoid CID checks :0)
Type this in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
Post here the outcome!
Can you also please change the title... it's not that urgent :0)

Well... the problem is that you used a 32A sappimg.zip to update your device with.
The newest RUU for the 32B device is 1.91.177.1....
So you in a not so good a situation. You cannot use the goldcard to update back in main-version (the good old main-version-older error).
I have no idea how you can get your self out of this.. i will wait until a new RUU for the 32B device is available... is should be that long... there is the 2.2 update... no still no RUU!!!
If you have any way to boot into custom recovery or the similar we can fix it... not before.

No need to use the goldcard method, just use the guide in my sig to get root. Follow the whole thing, just swap out the CM ROM for the Chrono's ROM and Google Apps package.

Go follow mumilovers guide. The one that you are folowing isn't for the new radio. And don't try flashing a 1.33 SPL please. the one you need is 1.76.2007.
Edit: that guide is good, it just isn't for the specs that your phone is running. Anyway, you need the new radio for Cronos, not the old one.

Neither of your guides has a section regarding the 6.35.xx.xx radio and 1.76.xxxx SPL.
So you are actually kidding yourself. Either give the man proper instructions, or don't give any at all.

How bout being constructive next time instead of coming in here and flaming.
@OP, you will need to use Mumilover's method located here since there's two different recoveries for the 32A devices depending on your radio. My guide will only provide a recovery for the 3.22 radio set, but not the 6.35 which you have.

So, I've got a MT3G that is apparently bricked. My buddy tried flashing a CM6 ROM and didn't root it properly - I'm assuming anyway since it's still S-ON. It powers up, gets to the CM Andy on a skateboard and gets stuck in a loop there.
I can get into SPL but that's it. I've attempted to erase the recovery and flash a new one with no luck. I can get it recognized via ADB with [ fastboot devices ], but I'm not sure that helps me much.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I don't mind the work, just need to find a way to get it past this point. If I can somehow manage to get it rooted from here, then flash a recovery so I can a ROM, that'd be awesome. Here's everything from the SPL screen:

Hi!
You're not recognized via ADB if you type [ fastboot devices ] and it gives you your phones S/N. You can be at FASTBOOT, HBOOT or RUU. To be recognized in ADB you have to boot in to RECOVERY or in to SYSTEM.
If you have working HBOOT (can boot to HBOOT with pressing VOLUME_DOWN+POWER), I suggest you to make a goldcard, download a stock rom for your MT3G (In FASTBOOT you can type [ fastboot getvar cid ], and the first 8 digits will tell you your phones CID number.). Extract the downloaded RUU and find the rom.zip (rom.nbh) file. Rename it to SAPPIMG.zip (SAPPIMG.nbh) and put it in the root of your goldcard.
Start up your phone with pressing VOLUME_DOWN+POWER.
If you get error about "Model ID" then your MicroSD is not a goldcard and you downloaded a "wrong" RUU ("Wrong" RUU (Phones CID not correct) can be good, if it is for MT3G like you have. Only you must create a working goldcard.).
If you get error "Main Version is older" then try to find newer RUU.
I hope, I helped you...
And then make the rooting with more care

I spend many hours on the website and the interwebs and followed all sorts of tips and suggestions.
Also none of the threads with the stuck on the green splash have any resolution and concrete solutions.
Are you actually flashing the recovery, or just booting it? Try fastboot flash instead of boot.
Also you have the 3.22 radio, so you have to either change it, or use an ebi1 kernel. I would recommended finding ezterrys guide to update to 2.22.28.25 radio and 1.33.0013d spl

Several issues there... your flashing an old version of ra for the 3.22 radio to the system partition. You need to do this:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
And you need the G version of amon_ra recovery.
and you need to get back to an eng spl to do that...
OK well it sounds like i'm am definitively doing this wrong.
There is so much information and so many threads of doing different things, how ever i did not find one that has a complete spoon fed step by step tutorial.
STEP 1?
So download one of these from this thread

RADIO
The new froyo OTA for the Fender/MT2.1 is RADIO-2.22.28.25 This is the same 2.22.28.25 that was pushed to the 32B phones.
If you have a rooted phone and wish to upgrade you can use the safe zip file I've provided before:
update_2.22.28.25_S.zip // mirror
md5: 2e384ab42da375458fdb135063b7536b
This will verify your system can safely install the new radio and ask you to install it.
Note: please ensure you have a backup before flashing this radio sometimes is known for some wacky things on first boot until you can get into the system and verify the clock is set correctly.
HBOOT
The new 32b HBOOT is the one you have always been using 1.33.0013
I've more recently have made a hacked version 1.33.0013d primarily for the Dream to have a larger /system size; However currently I also recommend it for 32b magic/sapphire users due to its reduced restrictions on flashing NBH files, as well as access to fastboot erase.
Since I don't think there is any nbh file safe to flash on the fender/MT1.2 the benefits of installing 1.33.0013d seem minimal on your phone.. however for advanced users, it will unlock fastboot erase. (useful for swapping roms; however most people can just use Super Wipe)
If you do wish to update to this I have a special update.zip to migrate from 1.33.0013 -> 1.33.0013d
update-1_33_0013-to-1_33_0013d_S.zip

how do i flash these?
BTW i appreciate all you help and support and if i figure it out, I will put together a detailed set of instructions for others that encounter this specific issue.
You have to get an Eng spl. Probably by flashing a sappimg with one. I'm on my phone and am too lazy to find one for you.
After that just flash recovery, radio, and hboot like ezterrys thread says.
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img (1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d hboot)
fastboot flash radio radio.img ( 2.22.27.08 or 2.22.28.25)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
I'm pretty sure those commands are right, but they are from memory and could be spelled wrong or be in the wrong order.

I did flash sappimg using a gold card. Then i got the Vodaphone splash screen.
Then i flashed the myTouch 3g splash screen .
This is the tutorial that i followed.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/14/how-to-root-your-mytouch-3g/
How does one tell if they have the ENG SPL?
Do i have to do it again or can i just flash the hboot and radio and recovery?
