You have flashed the wrong spl/radio combo.
You need to go into fastboot... hold "back"-button together with "power"-button... do you see fastboot screen?

yes I do see one
fastboot usb

ok... good...
use the radio tool in my signature.
Click "flash new"... reboot and post fastboot info here...
remember you must be in fastboot when you are doing this.

flash of a new radio files failuer :S
btw thank you for your help

ok.... flash spl alone.
Use the one tagged newspl(1.76.2007) found in imgfiles folder.
Then reboot.
What do you see in fastboot now?

ok .. Iam really thanlfull for your help
I tried again what you told me before and got my htc working fine
but I won't to get to the old Radio so I can put the Psfreedom
I have a Rom that work for Radio 6.35 only
how can I do that I tried from the Radio switcher thing but it didn't work

using the same tool push "flash old".
Then you are on the old radio :0)
If you fixed the spl, then the tool should work!

how can I fix the SPL
do u mean flash spl alone to aan older version ?

JUST FLASH USING THE TOOL... PUSH "Flash old".
Then reboot into fastboot and check if the info is changede and spl is the "old" one.

while its flashing to old the screen become black and stays like that

OK... YOU STILL HAVE WRONGE SPL/RADIO COMBO.
Fix it like this: READ CAREFULLY.
Flash ONLY the spl using the tool.
Use the BLUE box and push "SPL".
Navigate to the "imgfiles" folder.
Use the one tagged "NewSPL" having this nr: 1.76.2007
Push "Flash SPL".
Using the BLACK box push "Reboot device".
Wait for the device to reboot.
Push "Clear text" (found under all the text).
Using the YELLOW box push "Print device info".
Copy the text to right(a.k.a. the log) and post it here.
I CAN'T BE MORE PRECISE!

THANK YOU SOO MUCH 4 your patiance

If you are going to play around always use the tool to change between old and new radio.
Just push "Flash new" or "Flash old" to change between the 2 radios.

Accidental Flash of 32A Radio to 32B

Hi, trawling though the forum in hope for getting a 2.1 Sense ROM working on my phone (which i have been attempting for the last 48hrs) i came across a post that has wrong information on it, which i didn't notice till it was too late.
the phone is now showing as a Sapphire PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H with radio 6.35.10.18
rest is same as before
before it was
Phone is 32B UK Vodafone
Sapphire PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (Sapphire)
CPLD-10
Radio-3.22.20.17
It will not load into recovery but does allow me to get to fastboot and HBoot, the problem is it will not extract Hboot files (saphh.nbg or what ever its called)
IMO all i need is a 32B Radio img to flash with Fastboot as i did before, any ideas???
Ash
So is this bricked now???
Do you have debug mode on your phone? if so you may be able to recover using android SDK.
I know of ppl and posts suggesting it is possible to put a 32A rom on a 32B with some performance losses.
take a look at here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133
Some reason my Goldcard became normal and will no longer work when i Hex edit the card, its a Kingston 2Gb, any ideas??
when it was working i couldnt get it to flash anything, kept getting verification errors when i tried to flash anything to the phone.
so basically i think its completely dead,
am open to ideas how to brick the phone more so to make the ROM unreadable so i can get it replaced
if there arent any performance problems then dont worry, you can "push" or "fastboot" your radio, do a search for "radio installation" and u will find what u need

Not sure if this has been answered, but I thought I'd help. Put the 32B radio image in the "AndroidSDK" directory on your computer. Start phone is Fastboot, then connect via USB. In command prompt, confirm device is ready with "fastboot devices", if you see your device listed you are good to go. Then type "fastboot erase radio". Once completed, type "fastboot flash radio XXXXX.img" (Where XXXXX is the name of the radio image, for example: "radio.img") for the radio image, go to developer.htc.com/adp.html . Find the "Android 1.6" "Radio Image" "ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip", Extract the "radio.img" from that zip file. Let me know if that helps. I'll check up later if you need further instruction.

I have done this and I get Failed (remote: signaure verify fail) when applying the radio.img.
I have downloaded it from HTC image like 10 times and each time i get the same thing. Thoguths?
Hi, finally back to trying to get the phone working again, have bene using an old phone and some reason my emails from this site was being blocked and didn't get anything saying i had new posts (be it from some time ago)
I have tried everything,
i am getting the same responce from fastboot
C:\android\tools>fastboot flash radio radio.img
sending 'radio' (21504 KB)... OKAY
writing 'radio'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
i have also tried many different micro SD cards and cant get any of them to work as gold cards, they just ask to be formatted all the time by the computer
so any ideas?
i have managed to create a working goldcard (after purchasing my 5th sdcard) but i get "Main Version is older" when i try and flash any ROM onto it.
still looking for a fix any ideas?
i have just noticed the phone is now showing

can anyone help?
have now spent about the last 2 weeks trying to sort this, googled everything i can think to / find on the forum and still no avail
1.Turn your phone off. Turn it on by holding Back and Power, or Vol. down and Power. Either way, boot into the bootloader.
You should see the three Androids on skateboards, and the menu title should say "Fastboot".
2.Connect your device to the computer. The display on your phone should now say "Fastboot USB".
3.Open up the shell/terminal on your computer, and type
fastboot devices [enter]Your device should be listed with it's serial number, and should say "fastboot".
4.Change directory to where you have saved your recovery image. I.e. type "cd /path/to/recovery.img in windows prompt, press enter.
5.You may issue a "dir" command (Windows) or "ls" (Unix/Linux) to make sure you are at the right directory, or just skip this step.
6.Type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Perhaps?
doesnt work just freezes on load and tried both H and G versions
Bump?...i'm stuck on the same problem :/

[Q] Can i unbrick my magic 32a?

i think i brick my phone...how when i power on,it only keeps on boot into htc magic...so is there any think i can do or?
Please can you provide more info.
It's like going to the doctor and saying the you feel pain and nothing else!
Do you have fastboot access?
Do you have recovery access?
What did you do before you phone went dead?
What model, radio,spl and rom do you have?

its because of the perfected spl right?
From what I can see,with my limited experience, either you left out a part after "s-on", or your phone thinks its neither HTC nor google.
It should say S-ON H
And I dont think that 0007 is perfected.
But I'm a noob and would wait for mumilover to respond...

When you hold back-button and power-button together what do you see?
Write it down here or take a picture or what ever...
Can you see fastboot?

Similar Issue
Hey Guys and Girls,
This is my first time posting on this site. I have run into a similar issue and have attempted to post on numerous sites without having any luck solving the problem.
The quick version: I ran z4root to root my phone; it said successful. I then installed Rom Manager and switched my recovery to Clockwork (the most recent one). Next I downloaded the latest CM6 from the Rom Manager with GApps. After having unsuccessful attempts at backing up and wiping first, I decided to try installing the Rom without backing up or wiping data. The Rom install worked this time (I got installation successful). However, when the phone rebooted itself, it never got past the Rogers screen. It is now in a constant state of rebooting until I pull the battery.
I can get to fastboot, but cannot get to the recovery screen. My HTC Magic 32A specs from the fastboot menu are:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.0010 (SAP50000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.16.19
Some other info that may help:
-my PC recognizes my phone (I have been trying the Radio Switcher v.GUI 4.1 and it says the phone is connected) but it is not allowing me to flash anything.
-When I try "adb devices" it gives error: no device attached but "fastboot devices" gives me a number.
-I have tried putting "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H" on my sdcard, but the HBoot says no image or wrong image
-The Radio Switcher v.GUI 4.1 says my phone is not rooted
-I tried the goldcard method of rooting, but because I can't get the phone to recognize the sdcard, I can't get a proper CID for the goldcard creator
Hopefully I've provided enough info to get some help. I am waiting patiently, but am starting to get sick of the old Sony Ericsson Anything helps!

You have to make a goldcard... if you can't make it using your device, then do it using any other android device.
When you have made the goldcard come back here, and i'll guide through the rest :0)
Done. I made a gold card previously...hopefully it still works. Once it's made into a goldcard, is it always a goldcard?
Actually... re-checking your info - you don't need a goldcard..
No need for sdcard either...
Download this sappimg.zip :
http://rapidshare.com/files/437924840/sappimg.zip
Then run this command from a command prompt:
Code:
fastboot flash zip sappimg.zip
Make sure that the sappimg.img is in the same folder as fastboot.exe
The sappimg.zip is the newest rogers update... the same version as you currently have...
No need for goldcard or anything :0)
if you get any troubles, then post here the outcome of the command prompt..
When all is done, you should be back on stock 2.1...
From there you follow my guide (check my signature) to root and get custom recovery.
Good luck

this forum is my last hope... if anyone know how to proced, help me pls
I had the same problem as a few of you and after trying everything I eventually decided to try installing SAPPIMG.zip from hboot and it worked fine. Took me a while to find the correct SAPPIMG but you should be able to find it on the forums here. You have to put the SAPPIMG.zip on the root of your SD card from your computer, put it in the phone, boot into fastboot and go into hboot and it'll load the SAPPIMG file. If you have the wrong SAPPIMG it'll usually give you an error when trying to install it'll say someting like update failed or wrong device ID. It took me about 4-5 different SAPPIMG to find the correct one for my phone.

Hmm... try this:

The above will set the device into RUU mode.
Then download the official rogers RUU..
Run it and it should install just fine... no need for goldcard or sdcard..
I hope this will work.

*cpld 12 tells me that this device is pure 32A. Good
*2.33.19.26i radio tells me that you tried to flash using a goldcard, but you flashed the wrong sappimg.zip/ruu file.
* 1.33.0006 spl same as radio.
*3.04.401.2 tells me tha you tried to flash HTC Austria test-signed ruu, but that did not succeed.
The fix:
Download this: https://rapidshare.com/files/1199739414/3.05.401.1_1.zip
And this: https://rapidshare.com/files/822530102/3.05.401.1_2.zip
Rename the first file to sappimg.zip and flash it using the goldcard. It willl restart by itself. Do the same for second file.
Once all done, start the device and you shall see the android system starting up. From there you follow my guide found in my signature. Once done with rooting, custom recovery and perhaps eng spl, you can flash whatever rom you like from development section.
Good luck
sir i dont have a goldcard. but i read that i can use an old card. old card means that old goldcard of others?
sir the only problem now is how can i get a goldcard if my phone is stuck in htc logo.

HTC Magic stuck at Vodafone screen - only fastboot - no recovery

Hi there,
i have a HTC Magic here. When starting up it get's stuck at the Vodafone screen. I can't enter the recovery-mode.
I'm able to enter hboot and fastboot - the screen shows the following:
Code:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0014 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-6.35.08.29
I thought 32A is H only, and 32B is G? :silly:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 3.12.0.0
While in fastboot-usb-mode i can see the phone on my pc (i used the android-sdk-driver, now my phone shows up as "Android Bootloader Interface") with:
Code:
fastboot devices
MB2********* fastboot
but it doesn't show up here (while phone is in hboot-mode or fastboot-usb-mode):
Code:
adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
NBH-files on the sd-card are rejected with "Main version is older". Any command for flashing or booting with fastboot end up in "command error" or "remote: not allowed" or something like that.
Most recovery-tutorials say that i need adb and fastboot - but as i said adb doesn't work. Other tutorials say i need a NBH-file, but all of those are rejected with "Main version is older". I also tried some sappimg.zip-files, but the phone shows up an error-message for a very short time ("wrong zipped...", i'm not able to read that so fast).
I also got a goldcard, but this didn't change anything.
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
cid: VODAP102
Is there any help for me and my phone (step by step with needed files)? :laugh:
I've got the same problem. It's been almost a month now and still no luck.
Did your problem start when you unlocked your bootloader? That's when mine started.
It was the phone of a friend of mine and it already worked with some custom rom. But (if i understood right) he erased everything with fastboot.
I don't know if this is really version 32A, because "G" should always be with 32B. The other thing is that the phone is from Vodafone Germany, but in Germany there normally is no 32A - it's only 32B. That's why i don't really know which files to use for the phone.
Did you already make your goldcard? And if so, do you know if it's working?
I still have the goldcard I originally used to put cyonogenmod on my phone, but it's not working now. I bought a new sdcard and made a new goldcard but it won't work either.
try to remove the battery for 5 mins, when is removed click some times power button; reinsert battery and try to go in recovery.... i had same problem and i solved with this method
@ dante96: No, that's not working for me - still just get the Vodafone screen. I think that everything on the phone was erased and without recovery on it i won't be able to recovery-mode, am i right?
Yesterday something weird happened. I just tried a
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and i got a lot of output - about CID, SuperCID, device-number, partitions and whatever, but i hadn't the time to copy that or try other things.
I tried that command again later and just got "remote: not allowed". It seems like i missed a chance to recover the phone yesterday. :crying:
Ok, what i know right now:
My phone does take sappimg.zip after command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
BUT:
My phone is not 32A as shown, it's 32B - i can't flash files for 32A because of "Lack of heap", so the files seem to be to big to unzip to RAM.
That's why i can't flash 3.54.527.6 BrightStar Brazil or 3.54.631.3 Rogers Canada to get it running.
For 32B there is only one official rom higher than 3.12.0.0:
3.12.531.1 T-Mobile USA FRG83D
Tried to flash this one, it's updating boot und bootloader but after unzipping radio the screen turns black and nothing happens - tried it 3 or 4 times right now.
This got me from:
Code:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G

And i know that my Goldcard is correct - with another SD-card i just get "wrong model id" with the sappimg.zip mentioned above (3.12.531.1 T-Mobile USA FRG83D).
Does anyone have an idea what to do next or why screen turns black?
Some of the official roms for 32A are splittet into one 10 MB and one 90 MB file (for example this one "RUU_Sapphire_Rogers_WWE_3.05.631.7_R_release_signed_NoDriver.exe"), i think i could flash those - BUT i can't find those files for 3.54.527.6 BrightStar Brazil or 3.54.631.3 Rogers Canada. Anyone does?
Can you get those files from the temp folder?
5[Strogino] said:
1. Run Ruu
2. Don't flash, but go to temp folder and search for rom.zip or nbh-file
3. Rename to SAPPIMG.ZIP (if zip) or SAPPIMG.NBH (if nbh).
4. Place file to root it sdcard. Exit from ruu.
5. Turn phone off, then turn on by pressing and holding volumedown + power
6. Phone will start into hboot-mode and search for rom. Then it will flash.

Check htcdev.com under the unlock bootloader section for files.
Got mine back to life.
I flashed SPL 1.76.0013 from htcdev.com (Vodafone generic) and tried to install "3.12.531.1 T-Mobile USA FRG83D" again. With this SPL he managed to flash the radio but aborted afterwards.
Back on 1.33.0013 i tried the same rom again, now he flashed all of it. The phone is working so far - now i have to try to get a non-perfect SPL on it and afterwards a custom rom...
Code:
sapphire pvt 32b ship s-on g
hboot-1.33.0013 (sapp10000)
cpld-10
radio-2.22.28.25
Was the Bootloader locked or unlocked when you got that to work?
I flashed the SPL from htcdev when it was locked. Then they sent me an unlock-token which i just tried, so it was unlocked afterwards.
But i think i had to lock it again with
Code:
fastboot oem lock
to let the phone take those sappimg.zip without error.
Now i'm stuck again - i want Cyanogenmod on the HTC. But i can't get a non-perfect SPL with update.zip on it (and also no engineering SPL), in recovery-mode it just says "E: Signature verification failed - installation aborted" - but those SPL are signed.
Looks like i have to read some more.
Did you rename the engineering SPL to sappimg.zip and try it in HBoot?

No, copied it to SD-card and renamed it to "update.zip". Then i bootet in Recovery-Mode with Home+Power and applied the update.zip from SD-card. This gave me the error from above.
I think the phone won't take it in hboot when it's renamed to sappimg.zip.
If you SPL is perfected you need to follow these instructions
1. Create a Goldcard.
2. Copy the required sappimg.nbh/zip to the Goldcard.
3. Boot your phone while holding the VOLUME-DOWN key.
4. Press the ACTION KEY (=trackball) to start the update.
5. Wait until the update completes and press the ACTION KEY (=trackball) to reboot your phone.
6. (Upgrade to the rooted ROM of your choice).
That didn't work, because my main-version was to high.
I rootet the phone with this tutorial and got the recovery on my phone.
Afterwards i installed an engineering SPL in recovery-mode. With this i got back to "1.91.162.1 Vodafone Germany DRC92".
I rootet the phone again with the tutorial above and installed Cyanogenmod.
Everything working fine! :angel:

Good to hear you got it working.
I got my mainver from 3.12.0.0 to 3.57.0.0 by getting the file from the temp folder but it didn't really help me.
I think the problem must be the goldcard. I'll try borrowing my Dad's phone this weekend and see if I can fix it.

Goldcard will only help if your error is related to the CID. If you have a branded phone (Rogers, for example) and you want to flash a ROM that is only meant for a different carrier (Vodafone, for example), the goldcard overrides the CID check and continues the process.
A checksum error could mean that the file has been altered.
Could you tell us exactly what information you see on your phone's FASTBOOT page? Model, HBOOT version, RADIO, S-ON/S-OFF, etc.
Thanks.

Okay, there at two issues to deal with first. You have a perfected SPL, 1.33.0014, and you are S-ON. The perfected SPL means that fastboot is crippled and won't let you do most things, and S-ON means it will only let you flash signed images.
***
*** This is one way to fix things, but I'm sure someone knows a better way. If someone knows a better way, please post ***
***
The first step is to unlock the bootloader. This will at least let you flash a custom recovery.
Go to HTC Dev and make an account. Once you've logged in, click on "Unlock Bootloader", then the "Get Started" button. You should be able to skip the RUU installation step, but, if you must do it, the file you want is at this link: SAPP10000 hboot 1.33.0014G. Follow the steps, send your ID token, receive the Unlock_code.bin, and flash it.
Once all of that is done, the bootloader should be unlocked (but still S-ON). You should now be able to flash a custom recovery using this guide: RA sapphire recovery. Scroll down to where it says "via fastboot". It says that is requires an ENG spl, but the unlocked bootloader should be enough. The file you want is: recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img
If you get into the custom recovery alright, you can try updating to an engineering SPL using a signed zip file. Go to this thread and download "roottools". Open it up and get "hboot_2010_signed.zip". Put it in the root (not in a folder) of an sdcard, put the sdcard into your phone and boot into recovery. Look for an option to install a zip file from your sdcard.
If that doesn't work, try renaming the hboot_2010_signed.zip to SAPPIMG.zip, put it on the sdcard and boot into HBOOT mode (Volume Down + Power). It will scan the sdcard and try to install SAPPIMG.zip.
If all of that goes well, let us know.
1. i already go to htcdev used the 1.33.0014 spl and unlocked it. It says "*** UNLOCKED***"
2. i don't recovery, only fastboot
3. tried goldcard with sandisk and no sucess!

But did you actually try to flash a recovery image from fastboot?
Download this image: AmonRA 1.7.0G Recovery image
Put your phone into fastboot USB
Open a Command Prompt, cd to the recovery-RA-blahblah.img location, then type this:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img
Let us know if that works.
impossible, when i send a command, i receive a error message "remote: not allow"

Hmmm. Are you able to enter HBOOT mode? Turn the phone completely off (or pull the battery), then hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER until it says HBOOT.
Yes, i can enter hboot and fastboot

Alright. We can try downgrading with the RUU for your phone and a goldcard. Download the RUU exe file, run it, but don't use it to install. While it's open, go into C:\ Users \ Whateveryourusernameis \ AppData (may be hidden) \ Local \ Temp \ then look for the 2 newest folders in Temp. One of them will contain "dotnetinstaller.exe" and another folder. Go into the other folder and you'll find "rom.nbh".
Run: fastboot flash nbh rom.nbh
If it still doesn't work, try it in RUU mode: fastboot oem rebootRUU (and then use fastboot flash nbh rom.nbh)
If THAT doesn't work, put the rom.nbh on the root directory of your goldcard, rename it SAPPIMG.nbh, and boot into HBOOT mode. It should be autodetected.

BTW, if it gives you a "main version is older" error, we can fix that.
as soon i tested all the ways, i'll report to you! BIG THANKS to you! cheers!
Let's catch up: i have an sapphire 32B S-ON G, spl 1.33.0014 unlocked, radio 2.22.19.23
1. when i run RUU i get error "bootloader version"
2. all the things i do with fastboot, receive error "remote: not allow"
2.1 when use fastboot oem rebootRUU and then use fastboot flash nbh rom.nbh, received error "Failed (remote: 43 main version check fail)"
3. using sdcard SAPPIMG.nbh (from RUU):
3.1 Non goldcard: transcend 8GB "Main Version is older!"
3.2 Goldcard: kingston 4GB "Main Version is older!"
---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------
is there any tool to edit the edit NBH file and "fool" the phone?
I'll need to buy a 2gb kingston sdcard?
can i flash ruu hboot 1.76.0013 and try all the process?
