Damn, I hate members like you.
a) You don't even tell us what you did wrong
b) What does this have ANYTHING TO DO TO BELONG IN THE MAGIC DEVELOPMENT?

I am sorry that I did not mention the whole story.
Where should I post this message to? myTouch 3G, Magic General?
I am using "Super-Hero (Build By AhmgskMod)" before came into this situation, I found that the phone can boot, and looping in the htc Magic screen.
Show I tried to wipe and flash the rom again. I flashed the rom for 5-6 times, but it still won't boot..
At the last one I tried to flash another rom from XDA, I found the sdcard can't mount in recovery mode. And I go to fastboot mode, S-ON is observed.
I flash my phone with sappimg.zip in hboot mode (Sdcard file can be loaded). Now I am with the rom in (RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_304401), but the sdcard is not mounted after I boot up my phone.
I believe that this issue is due to the S-ON hboot, I am finding some way to flash the hboot again (I tried -- fastboot NOT OK, recovery can't mount sd)
Seek for help. Thank you very much.

u still hav hero recovery??? ( custom recovery)

Yes, I have the hero recovery (custom), I flash in by boot the hero recovery in fastboot, and flash using:
adb push recovery.img /
adb shell flash_image recovery /recovery.img
The problem is I cannot access to sdcard in recovery mode, also can't use the sdcard when I boot up the phone.
Updated: I copy the rom.zip and rom1.zip from RUU update. The rom.zip container radio and hboot. Should I flash the rom.zip in hboot, to recovery the radio and hboot?

s-on + no sd card.
This problem seems to be experienced by many people in the process of upgrading to the new radio. I have experienced it myself and i never managed to solve it. Luckily i manafed to get a replacement phone. I am still afraid of upgrading the radio on my new device in fact. I think that this seems to be a common problem which deserves to be given more attention by the devs. I. Believe there were a couple of people on the forum who managed to fix it but they are few and far between.

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
There's been quite a few SD card problem forum threads. Try harder next time.

xaueious, Thank you very much! Now I can access the sdcard! I will try harder to search in forum before asking question next time.
And thank you for the support of everyone in this post too.

This command was not recognized by the phone in my case. It's not always that simple to solve. It would be better to know what causes it in the first place so that people can avoid it.

Now I can use the rom in (RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_304401), I use hboot mode and flash the rom1.zip from the captioned rom (renamed to sappimg.zip)
But I can't start any custom rom for new radio from XDA here (installed in recovery mode, update from zip). It just stuck at the htc Magic screen, can't boot into phone.
My SPL/Hboot is still 1.76.2007 S-ON. I have tried flash the "update-hboot-1762007-signed.zip" in recovery mode, but the Hboot is still S-ON.
I believe the problem is due to the S-ON Hboot, so I can't start any custom rom. Any way I can turn the Hboot to S-OFF?
Thank you!

Update to Amon_RA's newest hero recovery. You should be able to mount your SD card in that.

Thank you sindrefyrn. I updated to the latest RA hero recovery.
I can mount sdcard with hero recovery 1.5.3.1 too.
But problem is I can't boot my phone with custom rom, only stock rom will work.
My ENG SPL 1.76.2007 is S-ON instead of S-OFF.
I will tried to flash the RUU update to replace my existing radio and SPL tomorrow, my home PC using win7 and can't verify my phone while RUU update, I will tried it tomorrow in office with winXP.
Hope it works, will report here.

You can flash a RUU with higher manversion then your previous ROM.

I often find that when I go into recovery my sdcard is not mounted. The solution (for me) is to:
adb shell
mount /sdcard
exit
And that's it.
No idea why the sdcard is mounted sometimes but not other times though

Is that mean I can't downgrade my SPL and radio?
I can't use fastboot to flash my SPL and radio, because S-ON SPL not allow me to do so.
Could I copy the rom.zip from RUU which contain SPL and radio, then renamed it to sappimg.zip and flash in Hboot mode?
The only thing I want to do is change my SPL back to S-OFF. What can I do?
Thank you for your help.
update: Is there any SPL.zip I can use to flash my SPL in recovery mode?
update 2: I tried flash the ENG SPL 2007.zip in recovery mode, but it can't change my SPL back to S-OFF. Is it because the SPL are in same version, so, I am not upgrading my SPL by this action?

No reason you can't downgrade your SPL and radio that way, as long as the mainver of the RUU you're flashing is newer than your current.

Yes, that's possible. However, the mainver still needs to be higher than your current.

That only works with the 1.76.xxxx SPL, which he has.
From personal experience, I can tell you that I screwed my phone up by flashing hboot and radio in the wrong order.. Ultimately, it prevented me from flashing the Hero recovery... So basically, I was stuck with new SPL/Radio with Sapphire recovery for a while. But here is where things got worst: I attempted to flash BACK to the OLD SPL/Radio, which worked. However, somewhere along the way enableqxdm(1.76.x only) was turned ON, and stayed on. The only thing I was able to do was go back to the stock Rogers RUU (old radio), but left with no SD card which really sucks. When Sense was released for Rogers, I flashed the new ROM and Radio (via USB) and turned enableqxdm off. All fixed at the cost of being rooted
littlestrong; which ROMs are you trying to flash? There could be a really simple explanation as to why they don't work.
1. Did you WIPE data/dalvik/ext before flashing? <- this is pretty important
2. Flash a ROM specific to the new radio?
And if you're trying to reflash your radio and SPL, what errors do you get?

sindrefyrn:
I have tried update your SPL 1.76.2007 from recovery. It remain S-ON afterward.
So, I downgrade my SPL to 1.76.0007 and raido 6.35.07.xx from HK stock sense rom (Hboot mode -> sappimg.zip). The SPL and radio are successful downgraded. Then, I flash the SPL the 1.76.2007 in recovery. No luck.. SPL has been upgraded to 1.76.2007, but it is still S-ON..
pyee0124:
I flash all roms below with full wipe (all 5 wipes in recovery), they all are for new radio:
--[ROM][32A][6.35] SenseUI 2.1 based on DROID Eris dump. Both v01 and v02.
--Super-Hero (Build By AhmgskMod) [Based On Eris Dump].
--Eclair AME [Android 2.1] MADE BY ME [Only For New Radio] [28th Feb]
I also restore a nandroid backup which it was backup with Eclair AME rom, when my phone in good condition.
All the above roms can't boot up, all stop at htc Magic screen..
I search this forum and found 2 topics about making ENG SPL to S-OFF from S-ON.
1. Flash the nandroid backup boot.img file to the phone, might be one of them will make the SPL to be S-OFF.
2. Remove the battery for a couple of day, and leave the phone as it is .The phone might change to S-OFF itself.
Another problem, I can't flash my magic in RUU. ERROR 170 was found both in XP and win7. I tested it in computer with and without htc sync. I have install proper driver.
I have one more question, I can flash custom rom for new radio here in recovery mode. But all 3 roms I had tried won't boot up and stuck in htc Magic screen. Can anyone flash custom rom with S-ON SPL and found no problem in boot??

You should still be able to flash custom ROMS regardless of S-ON. One of the other things you should try is formatting your SD card again.. Try a full FAT32, then try partitioning afterwards. I found that I could only boot Ahmgsk with FAT32/Swap/Ext2.

pyee0124: I have flashed the [ROM][32A] CursorSense32A-1.2.6.1, it can boot up with my S-ON SPL.
I will test flashing others rom and see if I can use Android 2.1.

Go into recovery and flash that rom.
You'll then have a rooted stock rom. Which is how I rooted my fender. DO NOT use a radio from any other thread than the one I specified, otherwise you have a very strong chance of actually bricking your phone.
The reason you go down to a 2010 Engineering SPL in the first place is because the 1.33.0013 is perfected and you can't flash anything, so least this way you go down to 2010, flash the needed radio/hboot/recovery allowing it to be rooted, then you flash the stock (rooted) rom.

from what it looks like hes already made a goldcard if he has that radio and spl........... he needs to flash the stock radio, spl, and recovery in fastboot...

If he already made the gold card, that's good, but may still need to flash the engineering SPL (2010) because I think 2007 is also perfected. I would still just flash the engineering SPL since I Know that works, and at this point we're trying to avoid any chance of bricking.

edit : wasn't 100% sure of what I was saying ;-)

Thats every one for helping I really appreciate it.
I tried flashing the Engineering SPL (2010) but i left it as (Sappimg.zip) and when i flash it through Hboot it asks me if i want to start the update after i press the trackball it says System-unzipping and thats where it stays. it doesnt load. and i tried to flash a couple of of other spls before but it stop after it tried to update the Radio. For some reason i cant update the radio it always freezes when the update is about 95% complete.
Any Answerss ???? Please =\

K, Let's try this, at the point you are now:
Using the zip file from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623141
and the 1.6.2G Recovery from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
From your computer:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot_7201A_1.33.0013G_091021.nbo
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

If you get a Remote Denied after trying the first command, then your current SPL is perfected. However if it works, continue to flash the hboot and recovery.
PS: I have no clue why it freezes during the SPL flashing, "ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010)" should have flashed just fine on the MT3G LE.

Are you sure it is freezing i have read that flashing a radio can take i think up to 5 or 10 minutes and to just be patient.

I had the problem where no matter how many times I tried the root procedure, it would eventually freeze on the "ANDROID" splash screen and then go to a black screen, nothing else.
I have no idea if this is the correct thing to do, but I eventually went in to recovery and did a Wipe data/factory reset. Then I did the root procedure again and it finally allowed it to boot all the way. Maybe someone who understands better can comment if this was right. Anyway, it worked for me when I basically had no other choice (or so I thought).

From the little bit of knowledge I have so far you did it correctly. If it gets stuck on the load screen or if the screen turns black you usually have to reboot into recovery then do everything you did. If you're flashing a THEMED rom and this happens that means you didn't flash the original rom first. Binary does this with his themes since making roms for mt3g 1.2 is apparently retarded difficult. And just to break it down a little more, he made a themed rom from stokes eclair rom. So I had to flash that rom and then flash his rom since its not a full rom, only a theme. Hope that helped

[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:

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

Trouble flashing new ROM - Please Help!

Hello All,
I have been trying for the past few hours to root my HTC Magic 32B (Vodafone UK) and flash Cyanogen to get me some android 2.2!
The phone was on Android 1.6 before i started the process. I have since managed to roll it back to the vulnerable 1.5 version using a goldcard and sapping.zip
I have also managed to push RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H onto the phone.
Now every time i wipe and then flash any of the cyanogen ROMs using the recovery mode, it hangs at the Vodafone screen when booting. Now I had a look around and there were suggestions of trying a different ROM. I tried this and get the same result every time. I have installed 4 different versions of Cyanogen as well as numerous other ROMS.
An interesting point, I have a magic 32b and yet when trying to push the 'G' version of the recovery-RA file, the phone does not turn up under 'adb devices' but when pushing the H version, the phone responds as it should and loads the correct recovery file. I have tried both 32A and 32B ROMs to no avail they both still lock up at the Vodafone splash screen
I can restore to 1.5 without any problems, but I dont want to be stuck on this version of Android
A little info about the phone:
Firmware version: 1.5
Build Number: 2.16.151.1 146733 CL#31685 test-keys
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP10000)

RADIO-3.22.20.17

Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

There is guide on wiki.cyanogen you must be ona 1.5 version just read whole guide and it will be a success

If you have RA -h recovery working use it to flash hboot 1.33.2009
Then boot into fastboot and issue
Code:
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
Here you can either boot onto recovery and flash the ebi1 version of cm. (Yes historical for 32a but seems your newer rom is using the 32a radio)
Or install a 2.x radio via fastboot (you must not flash it from recovery or you will brick your phone)
Last I checked cm wiki deals with 32a radios on 32b devices badly

1) You see the last "H" in the first line of your info?
That means you need to use H-recovery and not G-recovery!!!
First problem solved....
2) You see the radio version 3.22.20.17?
Thats is only for 32A boards.. be lucky that you did not brick your device..
You need this radio and only this radio: 2.22.19.26I
But there is something wrong with combination of the info you wrote..
All 32B devices have G as the last letter in the first line of thire spl..
Are you sure that what you wrote is correct?
To solve this, flash back your stock version... use RUU or whatever... No sappimg or goldcard...
Just bring back the phone to where is was when you got it from the shop.
Then follow this guide made by me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756942
it will root you device in 5 mins... and for 5 min extra you get custom recovery and engineer spl( <-optionel)... FULL CONTROL OF DEVICE, the right way!

This is FUD .. thats why its not bricked.
3.x = EBI1 (The -h recovery [magic] and -r recovery [dream*] is EBI1)
2.x = EBI0 (The -g recovery [magic] and default recovery [dream*] is EBI0)
* Please don't install the dream recovery on the magic it won't work its missing a config file for sapphire
both magic 32a/32b can run both
HOWEVER you must have the correct kernel to boot the device and if you have a 3.x radio and flash a radio from recovery you will brick since your current recovery can't boot after the flash.
Easiest is as I said install the engineering SPL that also supports both radios and fastboot yourself a stable system.
(the only reason its not booting with the EBI1 magic32a rom now is probably its not being properly wiped)
As far as using fastboot to restore a 2.x radio and -G recovery:
32A devices (ignoring the fender for the moment) will not be able to use all their memory on a 2.x radio
32B devices run the same on both radios; however more roms assume you have a 2.x radio.

If you go to cyanogens website, the EBI1 kernel should be available in the downloads. Just reflash the 5.0.8.zip, then flash the EBI1.zip, and then GAPPS.

[Q] Help needed updating 32B radio&spl

Hey guys,
Firstly...
PVT 32B
HBOOT-1.33.0013
CPLD-10
Radio-2.22.23.02
I'm pretty new to this game but I just installed Rushness' Frosense 0.9 on my Magic and it has been a MASSIVE improvement over CM 6.1 which came pre-installed on my phone that I ebay'd from Hong Kong. 6.1 was so slow it was unuseable.
Anyway, I would like to update my Radio/SPL to the latest version. I've done a lot of searching but have run into a few problems, mostly understanding lingo.
I have Radio: 2.22.27.08 & SPL: 1.33.0013d downloaded (I assume these are the ones I want) and I have backed up my SD card to PC. I figured the process would be the same as flashing the Frosense ROM, enter clockwork mod, hit clockwork recovery, hit "flash alternative recovery", power off, home + power, nand backup, wipe, flash radio, flash SPL, flash Frosense again. However after I "flash alternative recovery" and power off, pressing Home + Power just takes me to the MyTouch screen where it freezes. If I pull battery and power on as usual phone works ok. I decided to try and partition my SD through CWM (wasn't sure if this was necessary) but I'm not sure if the partition worked, phone started to reboot then froze on MyTouch screen again.
I'm assuming I'm doing something incorrectly. Sorry if I seem as "fresh" as I am, but I'm keen to learn and would be appreciative of some easy to understand steps if someone wouldn't mind.
Thanks,

See my guide found in my signature.
Just skip the rooting part if you already rooted.
Flash the recovery and continue with the eng spl.
Once you have the eng spl, you should do the following:
1)Download fastboot commander from my signature and reboot into fastboot
2)Flash the new radio
4)If it goes well, flash the new spl
5)If it goes well, restart into recovery and flash your rom. Remember it must have a compatible kernel.
If any step fails, STOP and post here.

Here is some insight from my recent experience. I am new at this.
Started with:
Sapphire Pvt32 Dev s-on g
Hboot-1.33.3004 (sapp30000)
CPLD-10
Radio-2.22.19.26I
Version 1.5
Stepped to:
Hboot-1.33.3005 Eng
Then installed Amon Ra Recovery
Then BIG Step to:
Sapphire Pvt32 Dev s-on g
Hboot-1.33.3013d
CPLD-10
Radio-2.22.27.08
Version 2.3.5
Keys to success:
1. Get used to searching for what you need then READ as much as you can on Recovery, Radio and SPL(hboot) prior to starting any of the changes.
Especially helpful:
(Newbie resources: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794445)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Sapphire_Hacking
(Magic SPL) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019
(2708 Radio) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
2. When comfortable with how to set up Android SDK, root, installing custom recovery, fastboot and adb, you are ready to start:
3. Find an Eng S-off SPL(I used 1.33.2005) so you can fastboot flash:
fastboot flash boot [c:/boot.img]
(Magic SPL) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019
4. Then flash amon ra recovery once then test (press/hold home + power....)
Search in XDA for this thread. fastboot flash recovery [c:/recovery.img]
5. fastboot flash new radio! (I tried using Amon Ra recovery radio.zip to install new radio but it stuck on unbox screen) After 40 min. I freaked out, pulled battery and luckily no damage/brick.
6. adb push your ROM of choice to /sdcard/
I just followed these steps by jeff72k. Note that these instructions are on the G1 forum but G1 is same as HTC Magic/Sapphire 32B. This worked very well especially for step-by-step through the partition setup for Ginger Yoshi which is working GREAT!
