[Q] Do I need a goldcard? - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Hi there!
I'm new to this stuff, but here's what I got so far:
Using a HTC Magic (Vodafone) 32B, Fastboot says:
Sapphire PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
Jul 31 2009, 15:49:25
I am trying to load the recovery file "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G".
After using Universal Androot successfully I assume the phone is now rooted (is there a way to make sure?).
I then tried to apply the img using the androidsdk via cmd, but the fastboot command fails with "FAILED (remote: not allow)".
The method using a terminal on the phone fails, too:
"permission denied".
Next thing I tried was to downgrade from 1.6 to 1.5 in order to be able to use flashrec. I used an nbh that seems to be just right for my phone
(vf-sappimg-crc24-1.33.0007).
After renaming it and fastbooting the phone, the update(downgrade) installs... but after it's done I get the error message:
Update failed!
Main Version is older.
So my question is: Would a Goldcard make a downgrade possible or am I overlooking something?
(I read somewhere that a goldcard is not neccessary for the 1.33.0007).
Sorry for the long text, just trying to describe as accurately as possible!

Read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756918
No goldcard needed!

I get a "Permission denied" :/
Edit: Nevermind, works when usb sharing for pc is not activated... trying to install the backup now!

Lets us know how it went :0)
Check some of the tools in my signature :0)

Edit: Finally got into the custom recovery menu...
now, can I use this rom?
[ROM][32a][32b][3.22][Froyo] CM6-Minimou-4 (CM6-RC3 08/20/2010) + Nightly builds
(can't link it)
It says under requirements:
SPL: 1.33.2010
Which I don't have... do I really need it?
Since it took me all day to flash the recovery menu I'd probably screw up my phone installing a new SPL

the guide also says:
(where the xxxxxxxx are replaced by the name of the recovery image you pushed in step 5)
PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BEFORE DOING ANYTHING... <- this is also from the guide :0)

I'm not THAT stupid...... just stupid enough to press vol+power instead of home+power I have one more question (see edit above) .
Thanks a lot for your help!!!

No need for eng spl...
You can flash it from recovery no problem... :0)
But flashing the spl is actual the easiest step... just flash the zip file from recovery and follow the screen-instructions... 15 sec and you got eng spl...
But only do it if you need it!

After a bit more trouble I finally got it working, THANK YOU!

Welcome to the world of ROOT :0)

My HTC Magic Stuck in RUU Screen after failed ROM upgrade

Applied the latest Rogers ROM...what a bad move...
Now my HTC Magic got stuck in RUU screen showing the following:

RUU
I tried many ways to get rid of this screen but didn't work.
My phone original has the rogers 2.17.631.2 build, and I did a bad move to upgrade to Android 1.5.=( The RUU process flashed my HBOOT and RADIO, but as soon as it starts the "system" steps, the screen shows unzipping for over an hour and eventually failed. Now my phone will start up with the above screen only!! i can't get myphone startup in recovery mode or fastboot mode.
I tried re-run the RUU porgram on my PC and the tool still shows i have the old anroid build. Hence i know that i now have NEW HBOOT and RADIO but still the old Android build.
Is there a way for me to get out of this RUU screen? Any help is appreciated.
Is the security off (S-OFF) allows me to downgrade the SPL? If so, how can i do that given i can only boot my HTC Magic in this screen only.
One more side note, fastboot can detect the phone.
Urgently need help! Appreciated.
If you have constant security S-OFF, it accepts all ROMs and HBoot and RUU. Probably you have engineering Magic (not Hboot, the whole device)
1. Try this...
If fastboot can detect phone, so try flash Amon_RA Hero recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(recovery.img or other filename must be in folder with fastboot.exe)
Then start into recovery (Home + Power) and flash CursorSense
If you need original ROM (without root), so search forum for it
(it has been posted already). Just get rom1.zip (system.img, userdata.img and more...) and flash it (Saying again: official doesn't contain root)
2. Or try run another RUU

but the fastboot method requires engineering SPL, but my phone was upgraded to the perfected SPL. Shall I try the RA_Hero or RA_Sapphire ?

Yes, common fastboot required to be engineering. But you have S-OFF now, so no checks.
use RA_Hero, cause you have radio 6.35.X.X

Tried flashing the recovery.img (RA_Hero) but failed.
i typed fastboot flash recovery recovery.img [ renamed the file to recovery.img] but got the error...
sending 'recovery' <3362 KB>... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... FAILED <remote: image type not support>
Just to clarify more, the screen only shows "RUU USB" not "FASTBOOT" although fastboot can see my device... could that be the reason why it failed?
According to your 2nd suggestion, where can i find other RUU and how do i know which is the proper one?

the rogers ROM is not working right. Too many crashes and so on .. so try this one
RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
You can download it from HTC main site ...
Also, you have to keep in mind that you can RUU as many as you want. So do the procedure again and keep us posted if it's working. If not send me a PM and i'll resolve it step by step.
best of luck !
I have one Magic and it show in Bootloader :
PVT 32 S-OFF
1.76.0007 (SAPP*****).
Why the SAPP is SAPP*****? Is there something wrong?
Also, the device detected by fastboot is 1234567890... , not like other HTC Magic.
Now I get stuck with RUU Flash at 81% (Hong Kong RUU). --> When the device start to update system STEP. So the Magic now just show RUU, can connect by Fastboot but when use fastboot flash system or recovery, only can send to phone and write error.
Anybody help me to solve this?

I do have the same problem with my RUU flash with the new Rogers RUU. Stuck at 81% when device starts updating at step[4] "system". Phone will show "unzipping" for over an hour and eventually failed with error code [155].
I tried the RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_ NoDriver.exe but still the same problem. Can anyone help here?
Did more investigation, and seems like both RUU ROMs i tried might not match the CID, hence the system ROM updating failed.
Now the question is, i am stuck in RUU and cannot use adb to check my CID now. How can i manually update the system ROM given i am in RUU mode only?
How can i manually update the HBOOT and RADIO if i am stuck in RUU screen? If the RUU program can automate the process in one click, is there program to allow me to update each individually? Note that i cannot get into fastboot mode.
Any advice? Thanks!

I had a 32B G2,it was brikked at the first time when I ruu flash the rom(Sense official). G2 couldn't received any RUU rom.it would stop at 22%.
Today,when I ruu flash the rom(HTC_Europe_3.04.401.2),I also found it stop at 81%.
SPL is updated to 1.76.0008 from 1.76.0007.
It seems much better than before. But it still could not accept the cmd "adb shell"
Hoping somebody could help us.
I used the following RUU after upgrading to sense RUU stopped at 81%
hxxp://suntharee.com/android/RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Asia_WWE_2.53.707.2_SEA_test_sign ed_NoDriver.exe
Here is another link, its the first RUU in this post:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548096
You will end up with an ENG SPL that allows you to flash what ever you want then.
I manually updated Radio and SPL and now using CursorSense ROM.
Obviously replace the "hxxp" with "http". Hope it helps at least some of you like it did for me.

I tried but already got stuck in the first step of unzipping system.img. Looks like this RUU will upgrade system first before HBOOT and RADIO, hence i am still stuck with Perfected SPL.
Given that my phone has security off (SOFF), is there way to downgrade my HBOOT?
I had the same problem when HK SenseUI appeared and I managed to pass the RUU screen with a gold-card. You will find tutorials in this forum.
Good luck!

Were you upgraded to the latest perfected SPL when the same problem happens? I had my goldcard configured properly, but everytime i run RUU, the process hang at 81%, which is the time when unzipping system.img happens.
I understanding the latest SPL is still yet hard to crack, but will my phone being S=OFF, can have some ways to get the system check bypassed?
Thanks!
Hi. I have the some problem. My magic stops at 81% (system - unzipping), or when i try with another RUU_.exe stops at 22% (system - unzipping).
S-ON.

What exactly do you have? You posted in one place - that you have 32B
But on picture you have 32A

I make a goldcard for installing _HTC Magic_RUU_Sapphire_SMC_Voda_WWE_3.03.990.6_release_signed_NoDriver.exe (with this update can enter in fastboot and vol down + power) but stops when loading system.img

[FIXED!] HTC Magic need help! phone bricked?

Hey guys
I'm so desperate and you are my last hope. I was looking for hours in several forums but didn't find any solution.
What I did:
I updated the phone to 6.35 Radio and 1.76.2007 SPL and installed a Eclair ROM. Everything went well until I installed ROM Manager app. Then I installed Cyanogen mod through ROM Manager and since then nothing works!
What's the problem:
When I switch phone on it sticks on the HTC boot screen and nothing happens.
I can go to fastboot mode but ADB doesn't recognize my phone.
I also can go to recovery mode and ADB sees the device but I cannot install any image and I cannot choose any item from the menu.
What I tried:
connect with fastboot usb: phone isn't recognized
flash via fastboot in recovery mode: <waiting for device> no response.
Install a sappimg.nbh from sdcard: Fail! main version is older.
My version:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G (why G??? isn't that the 32B version?)
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP10000)
RADIO-6.35.10.18
Thank you very much for your help!
LOL, I almost started cracking up. "Help me, you are my only hope" (Star Wars)
Anyhow.
Start over. Download the stock Rom, radio and spl for your MT3G. I ran into something similar with mine. I had to erase system from the CLI (command line) fastboot and wipe the phone. Then used the stock sappimg.img to get mine functioning again.
This will "Unroot" your phone
I had to plug the phone in via usb. Go to terminal or dos, and fastboot.
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
from there I turned the phone off, and then I copied sappimg.img to the memcard, and then booted using the vol down + power and let it install the factory rom, radio, spl and recovery.
Or you also stated that you have yours rooted. You're going to have to download the original radio, and rename it to radio.img and then flash it over using fastboot. (fastboot flash radio radio.img). This would get you to the original radio. Then I would revert back to the original ROM w/root ROM.
This worked for me. Im hoping that someone else will chime in and say if this is the correct method to use. Im not an expert. I did this at my own risk.
Someone else want to chime in?
Thanks for your help!
I wasn't conscious that I cited a Star Wars quotation :-D
First I tried to follow your steps but without succes. When I run "fastboot erase system -w" it says: remote not allow. It seems my phone isn't rooted anymore.
Also the command "fastboot flash radio radio.img" doesn't work.
Where can I get the stock ROM? Is there a possibility to extract these files from the RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_NoDriver.exe tool?
Nevertheless I keep going on although I'm a little bit tired of this issue. However, it's my mistake.
The reason why I wanted to flash my device was because I was sick of this old, boring and lame Android 1.5. Why isn't HTC getting ahead and supplies us more up to date software? An ambitious single programmer is able to provide Android 2.1 but HTC with its high-paid engineer team isn't. That's weird!
It looks like you have to put on one of the engineering SPL's first in-order to wipe the device. By the way, mine is a 32A board, and has "G" also. Weird I know.
I believe the RUU ROMS are stock. So flashing these to the phone should unroot your phone. There is a list of all the RUU ROMS and guides here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=659403
or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682243
These are great sources of information. I'm not an absolute expert, more of a novice. I'm new to the AC but, reading guides and such, you should get your answer and you can try a few things (within reason).
BTW, when you said that fastboot flash radio radio.img doesn't work, have you downloaded the stock radio and spl and copied them to the AndroidSDK\Tools folder? That's probably the reason it isn't working. You have to have the SDK downloaded and installed. (Read The Guides provided to help you) "Use the Force!" HAHA!
So I tried many different ways to save my htc. But by now no success!
As I described I can go into fastboot but I cannot run any commands (remote not allow). I haven't root anymore!
When I go to recovery mode it sticks. I cannot choose any item from the menu.
The only way to get the phone working is via the sdcard. It's possible to install a sappimg.zip but it says: "Fail! Main version is older!" So i have no chance to downgrade. I need a sappimg that has a higher version than my current one.
Also rooting seems not to be possible due to I have to access recovery mode (which isn't working).
Finally, the only way I see at the moment is trying some stuff that works only via the sdcard.
Thank you guys
If you are getting that sort of error that indicates that you have not created a correct goldcard. You need to have that in order to flash these devices.
Go to theunlockr.com and read that tutorial about how to create one. Or click here:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
Are you really sure that`s because of a wrong goldcard? I´ve tried 2 different sdcards several times but every time with the same error (Main version is odler).
No further ideas?
I can't do anything. recovery mode always crashes, no root access, goldcard doesn't work.
Finally I'm back on Android!
I could solve my problem. I found a sappimg.zip (http://rapidshare.com/files/266290371/sappimg.zip) that turned my phone to:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP10000)
RADIO-6.35.10.18
After that, I was able to flash trough the _HTC Magic_RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_2.20.401.2_HTC_CH_release_signed_NoDriver.exe.
Now I'm running on a stock ROM

I flashed the 2.22.23.02 through fastboot by mistake and now I can't get into recovery mode, or flash any other radios onto the phone. The fastboot menu is the only thing I can get to on the phone.
I tried reflashing the 2.22.23.02 again but it won't go through...
Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to unbrick it?
Edit: Tried sappimg.nbh via volume down and power button but i get a Model ID error. Now i can't fastboot anything over to my phone.
Edit: Flashed the sappimg.nbh, sappimg 2.16.707.3, sappimg 2.53.707.2, via gold card but I now get the error: Main Version is older!
I have answered similar questions before...
Use the search function.
But to get you started here is a quick solution.
1) flash eng spl that starts with 1.33.20XX where XX can be 05,09 or 10.
Restart into fastboot.
2) flash the right spl/radio/recovery combo.
This is confirmed to work....
Next time post ALL fastboot info... there are some info mission in your post!

I have just tried flashing hboot-1.33.2010 via fastboot.
However, I get the error message:
sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... FAILED (remote: not allow)
do this:
----- If you boot into fastboot and have issues with "fastboot:remote not allow", then your SPL won't work. Upgrade to Engineering SPL before continuing.
----- If you do not have an Engineering SPL, download 1.33.2010 and flash through recovery before starting this procedure. Flash the SPL update.zip like any other update.zip file.
in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239
Unfortunately... I can't boot into recovery either, nor can i push a recovery image to the phone. I get the same error: "fastboot:remote not allow".
ok... you are very limited...
Do this:
Find a suitable sappimg.nbh... Not sappimg.zip...
Use this which i just uploaded for you:
http://rapidshare.com/files/421772202/SAPPIMG.nbh
Using your goldcard flash the sappimg.nbh in fastboot.
The sappimg.nbh does not need any unzipping... it's a complete img of the nand and overwrites everything.
I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere....
is there a way to create a goldcard at this point for me?
I can't get into debug mode on the phone (for obvious reasons) and therefore can't do adb....
Find ANY android device and make a goldcard...
Then use the goldcard on your device...
wouldn't suppose anyone have the goldcard.img from their email that they could send me...
1)Download the -G magic RA recovery
2) rename it to recoveryG.img
3) run 'fastboot boot recoveryG.img' (with the phone in fastboot mode)
4) allow recovery to boot then run the following adb commands
Code:
adb push recoveryG.img /tmp/recoveryG.img
adb flash_image recovery /tmp/recoveryG.img
5) Now power down the phone
6) boot into recovery by holding home+power
10) flash 1.33.2009 or 1.33.2010
Now you will have fastboot again
Most likely you will want to find and flash via fastboot radio 3.22.20.17 if you are not a Rogers/Fido customer or have signed the e911 wavier, otherwise you want 3.22.26.17..
After flashing the 3.x radio flash RA -h recovery via fastboot (and while in fastboot run 'fastboot erase system -w'); this will let you flash the ebi1 rom of choice
I just downloaded the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img
renamed it so recoveryG.img.
When i try to run the command: fastboot boot recoveryG.img
I get the error message:
downloading 'boot.img'...FAILED (remote: not allow)
Then its best to just install the official e911 ruu from rogers and re-root
I have tried that, but it doesn't work...

Yes, I'm also not sure why people are ignoring that fact that you can't use fastboot either :-S
My bad, using my phone and completely missed the first page.
EDIT: I think mum was on the right track. Your going to need a goldcard. No one will be able to send you their .img because its SD card specific. You don't know anyone with a Android based phone?
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
Looks like i'm getting progress....?
I have a gold card now thanks to my friend, however...
when I try to flash the SAPPIMG.nbh I get a Main Version is older!
I also tried the 2.53.707.2 SAPPIMG.zip and I still get this error.
I also just tried 2.16.707.3 SAPPIMG.zip and I still get this error.
YOU ARE STILL MAKING THE GOLDCARD THE WRONG WAY...
You should not get that error msg...
Try to remake the goldcard.
Did it on two different SD cards, the same way I did it before to get my phone off perfected SPL... not sure what I could've done to do it wrong this time around.....
a mmc CID can't change right?

[Q] My touch 3g 3.5mm jack fastboot access only can't flash anything...please help

Hi so I've been searching the forum for 2 days and tried i think is everything but still cant make my phone work..it can only access the fastboot mode now and if i turn on the phone i cant pass the "htc magic" splash screen. And yes i have a goldcard and tried to flash the engineering spl 2010 but it stuck at unzipping system part. I cant flash anything and when i input command it appears as
1.if i input "fastboot flash (partition) "xxxx"" it will show the "remote:verify INFOsignature fail" error
2. if i input "fastboot boot "xxxx"" then it will show the "remote: reproduce boot image with on-flash ramdisk error"
3. error with RUU: the RUU has the main version error
my fastboot screen info:

So far i think i might need the original RUU of my phone and swap in engineering spl 2010 in the temp. file as soon as it releases it.Then flash it see if that helps. But i cant find any original RUU on the road...
Help me master!
ps: and yea i would be glad to pay 20 usd if anyone help me to get this thing working again. ^^
you could try my posthttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831044
It wont work...
Actually i've tried the 3 official roms via RUU app already and i did get error with RUU as i said so now I just tried the 3 roms from tmobile which means the same as my phone's cid appeared as T-MOBO10 via my goldcard. The 2.10.531.4 and 2.11.531.3 ones failed with it saying" main version is older" and the 1.94.531.1 which extracted as a .nbh file failed at signature checking point. ah...yea, thanks a lot for helping me though.
Type this and post the outcome here:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
From there we can try to determine what to do!
main version
It says version-main: 2.16.707.3.
BTW my phone had stock 1.6
If you are getting main version older error it is possible that your goldcard has become ungolden. Try remaking your goldcard, put sappimg.img(found on the how to root MyTouch 1.2 thread) on the root of it, reboot holding volume down and boot and when in hboot screen hold trackball down until it finds sappimg.img and it shoudl update itself. Then reboot to fastboot and flash radio, hboot and recovery. Then reboot to recovery and flash the rom u want.
The goldcard will not let you update a sappimg.zip which has older system version then what you have now!!!
So it's not a faulty goldcard.
The solution:
There is a special sappimg.zip which has an eng spl and is signed by htc :0)
Luckily you have a system version which is lower :0)
If you flash that sappimg.zip you can then flash what ever you want and get the system back on track.
The zip is for the 32A device... but we just need the eng spl to flash the 1.2 device layout.
You game with that ?
I just helped somebody to regain their device using this approach...
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/
The link above has all what you need.
Follow it to step 10. The rom they use in step 10 is outdated... Use this instead:
Rom: http://khsk.uberitz.net/cm/update-cm-6.0.0-DS-signed.zip
Gapps: http://cyanogenmod-mirror.local.host.name/gapps/gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed.zip
You should be good to go :0)
Remember, if you get problems post here... don't do something stupid and don't work in the dark...
KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING OR ASK FOR HELP :0)
uh...
So I do have questions:
I tried that page b4 and the sappimg.zip in step one does not work with freeze at unzipping system. And the stock spl, radio, &AR recovery simply don't work since they all cannot pass the INFOsignature check.
So should I simply skip to step 10 and flash the special sappimg.zip from you?
And how does that sappimg work with the gapp? I don't know how to use that gapp package...never used it b4. Oh that post mention the use of gapp on step 12...should i do step 10~12 then?
Thanks a million for helping. ^^
Edit: uh... wait a second. do you mean the special sappimg.zip is the sappimg in step1 from that post or is the special sappimg you mean is from your rom link?
continued
well i suppose theres no harm in trying to flash the cm 6.0 update rom via hboot...well the result is the phone back to defualt hboot screen after "checking sappimg.zip". Any suggestion?
Flash the sappimg.zip from the site. It has to work or you have a faulty goldcard.
Redo goldcard and reflash.
The links i provided is only ment to be flashed using custom recovery.
Sent from my SGS-I9000 using XDA App
goldcard
So now suppose i have a faulty goldcard and now i cant access the phone.
Should I format the sd card in windows in fat32 format and then paste my goldcard.img to the reformated sd card again?
PS: I haven't changed anything on my goldcard since the first time i successfully flashed the sappimg.zip the first time. but back then i was stupid and flashed the non-perfect spl one. now i cant flash any sappimg.zip anymore with this same sd card. But now yea i better try to redo it see if that helps.
Thanks.
Check your pm...
I have seen my goldcard change after i use it for some time..
So i have to redo it every time i was gona flash just to make sure!
But you redo yours anyway... it done properly, maybe for the last time :0)

You have radio/spl mismatch...
You got to fix that before you can proceed.
Follow my instructions:
Download this to begin with while you READ.
http://rapidshare.com/files/45099641...al_sappimg.zip
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ EVERYTHING I WRITE.
The problem is: the device has conflicting spl and radio combo. The spl has an idea of where the radio should be and how big it is ect. When they are not matching the flash of a new radio will most likely fail.
To fix this problem, we need to flash a spl compatible with the 6.35 radio.
Here comes the trick: I have found a special rom, which is part of a 2-part update.
Once the spl is updated and the system restarted, we can now flash any ruu we want using the goldcard.
The steps to follow:
1) Read and understand the above.
2) Rename special_sappimg.zip to sappimg.zip
3) Make sure that you have a working goldcard and flash the sappimg.zip
4) Once the device has rebooted, we need to flash the stock rom and you should almost be there...
Post the progress and we will take it from there.
Hope that you will succeed... :0)
thank you very much, I will try and report back
what is "we need to flash the stock rom and you should almost be there..." ?
Can you give me a rom link fit?
a bit sorry for bad english, I'm a Vietnam
you should probably use this tool next time: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794450

As he states, the tool (which is programmed by me and a newer version is to be found in my signature) is only valid if you have an eng spl or s-off.
The steps i gave is to fix the mismatch which is the primary problem now... all other solutions will be futile until the issue has been dealt with.
