HTC magic wownt load anything!

Hi all
This is my first post, please be gentle. I have tried searching and read lots but have got now where very fast. Firstly thanks to everyone putting out all the guides and working on the updates and such. I have a HTC magic vodafone google UK
I tried rooting my phone using: http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?t ... ic_Rooting
then I loaded recovery RAv1.1.2 which worked well again
I think its at this step where I went wrong. I then tried to load up the fatality Scene onto my phone and now it does not boot. looking back i missed the fact it was for 32A and not 32B and when i try to restore nandroid the same problem of only vodafone splash screen comes up and hangs until battery is removed
I can access recovery by holding home and power, i can load roms from sd card but on reboot it hangs on vodafone. So I have to take the batery out. I can still access fast boot when putting battery back in and back and that has got me no where aswell
on fastboot it says
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0004 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
APR 9 2009, 23:30:40
All I wanted to do is to be able to access voice dialing, multi touch and saving apps on SD card, anything else is a bonous. Now any use apart from a paper weught would be good
any advice appreciated!!!
please help!!!

ok well if you can still acess fastboot then you shoulb be able to load recovery image by using
fastboot boot name-of-recovery-image.img
and then flash the phone again using a 32B rom... Make sure of course that you first download the rom and place it on the sdcard using a card reader or something!

I have learned the error of my ways. Basically I should have read more and try and understand what the actual process was doing rather than blindly following instructions. Im all up and running and have to say many thanks to every one working on this, there is actually more than enough info and support if you look for it!

Semi bricked HTC Magic (Proximus) HELP NEEDED

Hi everybody,
Call me stupid if you like but....
I have a HTC Magic from Belgian telecomservice Proximus.
Some days ago I did the following.
- deleted all files from SD-card
- wrote down following:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H

- ran the RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
- RUU said: cannot find customer-ID
On this point my mobile was stuck on the RUU / USB screen
- I ran RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.04.401.2_HTC_AT_test_signed_NoDriver
- RUU said: cannot find customer-ID
now my mobile says:

Now I think (I'm a noob) my mobile is semi-bricked.
I tried to make a Goldcard, but couldnt because I cannot run adb.
I can run fastboot from AndroidSDK/tools
adb doesnt find devices.. fastboot finds my device.
Anyone who can help me? I would be really thankfull.

Ouch ouch, looks like its more than semi bricked for now. Since it updated your spl to a perfected one there isn't hacked yet. I'm afraid that the only thing there might save this phone is running another RUU your mobile will accept. You have to find one which got 1.76.0009 or higher cause the S=ON now
If this wont work the only hope will be a spl hack will be released and will be done through fastboot.
But most of all it sounds like the best thing there could happen is that your warranty is still valid and they will replace it for you.
Anyway, don't take my words as 100% cause i'm no expert on this matter!!!
If you dare to try to flash another spl/radio through fastboot look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239
BUT, as your new spl is perfected it will most probably not work and ruin the possibility to use fastboot.
Maybe and just maybe, it will be easier to get a replacement if it's fully bricked and it's impossible to get into fastboot and recovery.

Thanks already for the fast answer.
Let me try your suggestions first.
Warranty will not be provided I assume.

I tried to reflash, I couldn't... Let's jst go to the shop and send it to repair-service.
Thanks for helping Ronni!!

Try to wait a little while, like i wrote i'm not an expert on this matter.
Maybe if you're lucky someone will drop by with a solution for it. But to be honest, i wouldn't keep my hopes up
And sorry didn't follow the thread, don't have any links for RUU cause i'm not really sure which you should use.
But if Belgium got the update which include HTC sense, i guess that would be the right one.

I found a solution to my problem.
Here's what did I do.
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656798

Got the exact same issue.
Tried the goldcard with the sandisk 2GB, but with an usb adapter. (I read the card should work)
I could do everything in the goldcard tutorial but when inserting the goldcard in the phone nothing happens at boot or when pressing the recovery keys at boot.
It jumps right away to versions screen.
The strange thing is though. Once I inserted the sd card in the phone, I can no longer use it on the PC (please insert media). Which I could do before.
When inserting the sdcard on another magic phone, it's working fine.
Going to get a Kingstong 2GB with sdcard adapter in the mean time and try it in the pc's card reader.
(HTC Magic 32A)
It really sucks Proximus sells android phones you cannot update. What's the use to have open source software then?
I also wander why the RUU update went wrong, once you root the phone is should work no ?

hmmm, I Read on this forum there is no fix for the 1.76.0009

radjagios, can you confirm the goldcard is working for this?
You have any useful info like sappimg version you have put on it?

[Q] HTC Broked

First I must apologize for my bad english, I have an HTC MAgic 32A and decide install cyanogem ROM.
Before to proced I make the root using Universal Androot, as said in: h..p://limitlessdroid.com/2010/08/27/how-to-root-droid-from-2-2/
After i install ROM Manager and make “Flash Clockwork Recovery”.
Until this moment everthink work as well.
Then I select “Reboot into Recovery.”, my phone reboot and I press and hold HOME + BACK.
After that the phone restart and show Operator Logo, after 4 seconds he restart again and show operator logo, ...
I Remove the batery, press and hold HOME + BACK and touch POWER, and nothing works, just show operator logo and restart...
I don´t know what I can do!!!! Someone knows what i can do?

It sounds like you have the wrong split. Press and hold the back and power keys and see which radio and split you have.

I have tried a lots of combinations keys and just one work: POWER + TRACKBALL. But no solve because show a black screen and blue led lights.
Has any form of boot based on SD Card? Has any form of change de boot loader?

My phone make the same thing them that video:

Your radio and hboot are for a 32b phone. You said you have a 32a phone. You will need to flash using the home and power keys to recovery with the 1.33.2010 Eng spl. Once your done with that you will need to flash the tmobile stock radio and rom. From there follow the forum for 32a Tom's. If you want cyanogen use the 6.0 in thus forum. But if you cant flash or boot to recovery your phone is bricked my friend. As far as I know there is not a way to debrick what has been done. Sorry man

I will send for assistance. I tell what is the result after that! Thanks for alll! If the assistance can't unbrick the phone always have the JTAG Cable.

Apparently it was not my fault, because the service has encountered a problem on mother board.

[Q] Some serious problems with Magic 32A.

Hi,
First of all, let me tell you what happened. I have had a standard htc magic with sense UI (perfected spl) so I done everything what was needed to upgrade my phone to other ROM. Everything was ok untill my girlfriend told me next day that she can't call me. I tried to call her, an it works but in other direction doesn't. So I decided to downgrade radio and engeniering SPL to flash other ROM and everytime I was trying to downgrade radio the phone screen turns dark. After a couple of times I came up with an idea to simply use patched RUU aplication to do it. This time it won't work either. Whats more the phone turned into s-on and it only boots into something like fastboot screen but there's nothing more like some informations about radio and stuff and RUU. And here is my question.
What can I do with my phone to bring him to life?
Is it posible to make a goldcard synthetically, I mean without pluging phone into USB to get some codes?
ps: Sorry about my english. I think my phone is more important at this time.

possible solution
Hello there,
yes, you can read the CID of an SD card from your pc too.
the CID is basically a serial number for your SD.
since S in SD stands for secure, some programmers can limit their applications to run only in the SD they were installed to by verifying the CID.
anyway, if you can access HBOOT mode (vol down + power), it would be a lot simpler flashing a basic RUU rom, then root it, install a recovery and do whatever you want.
If you choose to follow this method, I suggest you to restore a RUU with android 1.5 or 1.6, it's easier to root and you're sure everything will work. i heard 2.x version of android sotck roms for htc magic can have some problems in rooting process.
good luck to you!

I will try to get the CID of my SD card, but what's more complicated is that whatever way I want to turn my phone on it only boots with something like fastboot screen, but instead of options to choose on the screen i there's only RUU and when i plug-in the USB cable the sign changes into RUU USB. So accesing any other mode is imposible. Only the blue light mode works. :/

What carrier is your phone from and what is your current hboot info? You should be able to see it from the RUU fastboot-like screen.

RADIO-3.22.20.17
The phone works in Orange PL
I would be very thankful if You, or anyone could help.

Download this, plug your phone into the computer and turn it on so that you have "RUU USB" on the screen, the double-click the downloaded file and run it. See if that gets you anywhere.

The same situation as later. Everything goes ok until the radio is being updated, then the screen fades black. The whole process ends at 36%.

Your going to have to see if mumilover adds his comments here.

Hi, Not sure if this helps, check out this thread as it is a good source and also there is an article on flashing without the sd card. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12210523#post12210523

You got radio/spl combo mismatch.
Run this command and give us the result:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
Are you sure that the above info is correct and updated?

version-main is 3.05.401.1
I made a mistake, hboot is actually 1.76.0008.

Is this HTC Magic bricked?

Hello,
I recently tried to update the spl/radio to use a new rom on my HTC Magic 32A and after updating the spl the phone just hangs on the "HTC Magic" screen. Fastboot or Recovery wont start if I hold the buttons. Was just wondering if it is bricked or if it is possible to fix via cmd or so? I read alittle on jtag but I think if it came down to that Ill just buy a new phone cause this phone is not worth that much trouble.
I rooted the phone a year or so ago. First I had cyanogen but they dropped support so I switched too gingeryoshi but the wifi stopped working. It still connected to tmobile hotspot but I couldnt tether or connect to my wifi. So I thought of putting on Froyodragon. I updated too HBOOT-1.76.2007 but then it just hanged on reboot.
Thanks for any input.

Turn phone off (if you have bootloop then remove battery and place it back after 10-20 sec)
Turn on by pressing Back + Power - it's fastboot-mode
Write first 5 rows of info (all symbols are important)
If you do not have Android Sdk Tools configured - do it
Additionaly search for fastboot.exe - this utility can be absent from sdk tools
Connect phone to pc when it in fastboot-mode
Run
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
fastboot getvar cidnum
fastboot getvar version-main

hello,
I tired back+power, power+vol down, and power+home, they all just sit at the "HTC Magic" screen.

Did you remove battery before try and placed it back? If yes and any combination did not help -> 'brick'. Only JTAG can help.
What ROM did you have before?
And what ROM did you update?
There are no bricked phones when 32A phone updating with 32A official ROM. I don'y understand how you bricked your device.
Even if hboot updated but radio did not - there are some chances to restore...
Tell us how it happened?

same problem
Sir im also facing the same problem like this person is facing:
I guess that I've bricked my HTC magic phone. actually it was working fine but after when i flash Hboot file named (ISO-8859-1__STOCK-HBOOT) on it.
my device stop functioning not any key is working phone its not coming up in hboot loader screen by pressing vol down key+power key, not even in recovery mode. by pressing home key+ power key.
but if i press vol down+power key its not showing any hboot loader screen but if i use command prompt after that and use fastboot devices command its shows the device like in machine language
just like this:

Yes I removed the battery (only way i could turn it off). I stated most of this info in the first post but Ill try and state specifically what versions I had. When I first rooted I used Cyanogen Rom. It worked fine but they dropped support so I switched too Gingeryoshi. I dont remember what version. I tried to update it too 1.5 first but it didnt work but fastboot and recovery still worked so I decided to switch to a new rom instead and tried Froyodragon but it needed radio 6.35.16.19 and HBOOT-1.76.2007. So I wiped it then I did the HBOOT-1.76.2007 and after installing and rebooting is when it stopped working.

Crap, I just did this too... got a yellow arrow coming from a box onto an Android. I flashed a mismatched 6.35 radio (I guess?).
Can't boot to fastboot--can only boot to blue light mode (trackball+power) and phone will charge if connected by USB--but is never recognized by ADB or fastboot.

Wait 5-10 minutes, "yellow arrow coming from box" equals unpack and flash. Phone should finish this process.
Try to load into hboot-mode: turn phone off (remove battery and place it back if bootlooping), then turn on by pressing Volumedown + power
In this mode you can flash full official rom in sappimg.zip format (or sappimg.nbh if you have 32b magic)
If phone doesn't load into any mode (except trackball + power) - then you have brick and only jtag can help.

But, it goes to a black screen about ten seconds after that.. sadly I think it needs to be jtagged and i will just give it away for parts.
I also tried the sapphire image trick, no luck.

those all sound like bricks..

problem with 32b - looping after rom.
Believe me, I tried a lot here and on google before posting here.
I tried to install a ROM on my htc magic 32b and certainly was not what I should.

Also read about ruu, but I found a will for my device, nor know how to run.
First of all, my phone is only on LOOP. I can normally access the fastboot USB.
But does not accept commands, I believe it because of S-ON.
I do not know how to install an img it to get S-OFF.
Could someone help me get back my life device?
Thank you and with the help of google translator.
