Help needed ! Sapphire Unknown 32A

Hi,
I tried to update my Htc Magic to run the Latest Android on it.
So I followed the procedure on Unlockr to update SPL, RADIO, etc...After several updates, flash and reboot I am stuck.
I have only two choices:
- FASTBOOT
- " HTC MAGIC "logo
I am not able to go back to the phone first state. Even if I try to boot using "fastboot boot recovery image...."
What I have on the HBOOT now is:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33-0006 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-2.22.19.261
Hope you can tell me to bring my phone back ?!?
Thank you

If you hold down (home+power) does it bring up a recovery screen? Will be green and black and say which recovery mod it is at the bottom. You may have to hold them down for up to a minute before it loads up. Also, it already looks like you didn't flash the hboot correctly or something. Do you have the myTouch with the 3.5mm jack? Which guide did you use at Unlockr? If you can't link it, what is the How To title?

[Q] HELP！Did I bricked my phone?

It is not boot with "HTC Magic" text on black background and stalled at all. And, I even can not boot it in recover (using HOME+POWER) or in HBOOT (using BACK+POWER) ...
It happened after I flash it with a Google ION radio image following the guide found in http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html#s1.
My phone was (before):
----------------------------
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP*****)
CPLD-10
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Jun 2 2009, 17:27:03
----------------------------
What I did exactly is below:
1. 'adb push' the radio image (ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip) into the /sdcard/update.zip
2. In Amon_RA's recovery tool, flashed the /sdcard/update.zip. When got the prompt I reboot the phone using menu.
3. It seems rebooted but stay in another strange screen that I never saw: that is an open box, beside that stands a green adroid robot.
4. I feel the screen stay too long and seemed halt, then I removed the battery and try to boot again.
From now on, in whatevery method, I can only get a dead screen with "HTC Magic" white text on a whole dark screen.
Can I save my phone? I am crying .... What's wrong in my steps?
HELP!

It's dead fo' shizzle.
I assume it was a Rogers Magic (32A)? I know the SPL says it'd 32B, but I've seen people flash all kinds of crap and end up with hboot showing the wrong board, and I'm pretty sure that's a 32A radio you're running. You flashed a radio image for 32B to a 32A phone... you shouldn't have done that.

Actually I also suspect if it is really a 32B as HBOOT said, since in a recovery flashing process I found Amon_RA's 32A version works but 32B does not. I posted the question in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750307, but no one reply to me! If you saw the thread and see something earlier, my phone can be saved
So, my question is, is there no any solution to recovery my phone any more?

MyTouch Fender - Cant root. Wont verify signature

I have posted before about this and have still not been able to solve it. I have a working gold card and the proper sappimg. However, once I try to flash the radio or recovery or anything, here is what I am getting.
sending 'radio' <21504 KB>...OKAY [35.703s]
writing 'radio'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED <remote: signature verify fail>
finished. total time: 41.875s
I can get the phone to power up and go right to the setup screen but I am now stuck at the point where I do not have a working touch screen.
This seems to be a common problem with the 1.2's and Fenders. If you have run across this and have solved it, I would love some help. Thanks!

What's your current fastboot information?

Yes, i believe he does:
cpld-10 = 32B
cpld-12 = 32A
cpld-13 = Hybrid with the 3.5 mm on the top.
Run this command from fastboot
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
We will take it from there!
But you got wrong spl and radio!

version-main: 2.16.151.1
finished. total time: 0.00s
The spl and radio I am using are from theunlockr.com
Where can I find the correct versions?

Try this sappimg.zip
http://rapidshare.com/files/436753940/2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip
It will give you the eng spl 1.33.2010.
From there follow this guide(but use the above file):
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/
It should bring you to the goal :0)
You could also download fastboot commander from my signature (magic version) for flashing the recovery, radio and spl.

Ok, thanks. Im gonna give it a shot and let you know how it turns out.

Now when I load the new sappimg onto the gold card and restart in hboot, it does not even recognize that there is a new sappimg. Is there a way to push it to the phone? I am not terribly familiar with fastboot commander.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734617

My phone is not automatically loading the new sappimg. Why is that?
I have saved it on my gold card (not in a file, just like it says) and have renamed it sappimg.zip

Have you tried re-downloading it? Could have been a botched download.

I figured it out. When I renamed the file, I named it "sappimg.zip" so the phone was reading it as sappimg.zip.zip
I changed the file name to just "sappimg" and now the phone will load it.
However, it is telling me "model ID incorrect" I guess that means I need to redo my gold card.

Ok, I have remade the gold card and still seem to be having this problem. I am following the directions step by step but am still missing something. Any ideas?

That would be my idea.

SOLVED!!! I had to remake my gold card using a smaller card (4gig instead of 16gig). Between that and the sappimg you supplied, I am 100% good to go! Thanks a ton guys!

Wrongly flashed 32A SPL on 32B - any chance to recover?

Well, I accidentally flash a 32A SPL on my 32B myTouch.
Good thing (may be) is I still can access to fastboot.
Bad thing is it turned to S-ON & I can't boot to recovery.

If you can fastboot, you need to flash a 1.76... SPL to go with your 6.35 radio like 1.76.2007.
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.76.2007.img

Might be due to S-ON, it won't allow me to write any SPL, radio or recovery img. When I used the Radio Switcher, it said failure. When I used adb, it said "signature verify fail".
I even tried to use SAPPIMG.nhb but it stucked at radio update.
The last hope there is I still can access to the holy fastboot.
Please help me, guys.

From fastboot try fastboot boot recovery newrecoveryname.img
Then from there restore backup or backup then reflash spl

1)See the radio version... thats for the 32A devices... big no-no
2)see the spl... there is a mismatch between the spl and radio... second big no-no.
3) see the 32A... it should be 32B.. third big no-no
The only way you can flash anything is by flashing a matching spl, so the radio and spl can work together.. from there you flash a different combo to match the device you have. The problem is you have s-on, the forth no-no, which complicates thing further...
In other words, you are in deep sh't :0|
You are not completely bricked... but you are very close to...
The fix:
It's a very dangerous approach... post here if you are willing to take a major risk :0)

Thanks mumilover.
I do know that I'm in deep deep Sh!T.
Please post your solution, as I consider my phone in dead anyway now. Can take any risk for testing purpose

Start with these commands:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
fastboot oem h
Post back the results

Hey,
as described here I've got the same problem as camapghe. I'm very intrested in hearing this dangerous approach. So please tell us.
Here is the requested output from my device:
Code:
-bash-4.1$ fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 1.89.162.1
-bash-4.1$ fastboot oem h
... INFOcommand list
INFOkeytest
INFOheap
INFOboot
INFOreset
INFOpowerdown
INFOrebootRUU
INFOtask
INFOrtask
OKAY
-bash-4.1$

The thing is, i got my magic stolen... so it's very hard for me to tell you all the steps from memory... so.. i just pm'ed you my email so we can do it together over gtalk :0)

Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 1.88.531.1
fastboot oem h
...
(bootloader) command list
(bootloader) keytest
(bootloader) heap
(bootloader) boot
(bootloader) reset
(bootloader) powerdown
(bootloader) rebootRUU
(bootloader) task
(bootloader) rtask
Then, what should I do now?
@ mumilover: I sent you my gmail contact

Guys, I think the danger approach original guide is
HERE
@mumilover: please have a look at this link & confirm what should us (me & Crazy_Scientist) should do next. I'm dare NOT to try any more without guidance from professional.
Update 1:
I just tried a bit & confirmed that I CAN boot in rebootRUU. Waiting for mumilover's guide.
Update 2:
Now stuck in RUU mode. Feel like I'm r*ping my phone's corpse. Ha ha ha.

The guide you referring to has a set of well known commands, like the sd-card enabler and flash of misc partition.
But it does not help us in your case.
What i want to do is something else... i want to flash a RUU using a goldcard.. but while the device is flashing we take out the battery in the right moment... this way we force to flash the only spl... this way we gain a matching combo, and then try to forcefully boot the device... it will not succeed to boot all the way, but i will give us some time to try a different approach :0)
PS: i got your pm, but the time difference makes it a little hard to communicate :0|

So, that will be the idea. I think I know what to do.
But I don't have any RUU img with good SPL yet. If you know any, please provide me the link. Thanks.
Besides, from the command in fastboot, I found that I always stuck at radio point 97 when updating radio. The rest will be ok.
What I want to ask is there any sappimg that can update without / bypassing radio update?

Not a sappimg, the second part of the sappimg flash process is going to be the radio. AFAIK, there is no way to bypass this.

And Crazy_Scientist is back to life running CM and enjoying his non-brick :0)
It took 3 hours to get him back to a running system, and 7.5 min to root and flash custom rom hihihihi

camapghe please post here so i can see you still active or not... no logic in writing the solution if the OP is absent :0)
And just as a side-note, every sappimg.(nbh|zip) has it's own flash order... so the trick is to flash a sappimg which flashes the spl before the radio... and stop it before it updates the version-main nr, so we can flash a different sappimg just after it without the need to change the misc partition.

Make goldcard and flash again.

Hi
my device screen shown hexagonal on chips,like your device ,stuck on RUU USB,
last time i ask anybody here what i can do..i didn't found ..
nothing we can do as long as we have a root,
if you have a root you can
fastboot oem rebootRUU.
or tell us your
fastboot oem -h ,screen..
Now i can fix my phone by myself. i got JTAG ,and built my own ,
just only JTAG can works,God save my phone..

Man you dont need jtag!!!Dont pay for this situation!Just find an original Signed RUU and flash like nothing happens.Or create goldcard from another android phone.!

yes if
if your SD card can read by device,yes you can use RUU update.
if you SD card can't read no nothing you can do.
if your oem boot stuck on strange boot, you must pray a lot to God..

His phone is not MT3G v1.2 or Fender, his phone is common HTC Magic 32A, so he need create goldcard and flash RUU again
His first attempt was wrong cause every official ROM checks CID on phone. If phone's CID is not equal with ROM CID then update will fail. RUU updated hboot and radio and failed at CID-step and locked in RUU-mode.
