[Q] Help! My phone wont boot up - myTouch 3G, Magic General

My phone just hangs in the HTC magic screen. I cant access the recovery so i cant do anything really. I can only get in to fast boot mode. I tried to put the sappimg.zip file but when i flash it, it says main version is older. My fast boot says this:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)

Help with Perfected SPL

Every time I try to flash my hboot it says that theres a device mismatch or something(cant remember)
can anyone help me, i tried to flash all the hboots that i saw above my version and they all fail.

Problem rooting MT3G 1.2

So I was following the directions on unlockr and I seem to be having some problems.
I downloaded the sappimg and flashed it, restarted and it hung at the first boot screen for 15 - 20 minutes. I restarted into the bootloader mode and tried to reflash the sappimg but its stuck at "[1] SYSTEM - Unzipping" and the progress bar hasn't filled at all...
What should I do? Should I try to restart and do it again or?
Also, my original info on that screen has changed, it was this:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)

RADIO-2.22.23.02

Now it says:

Does this mean it flashed okay and I should just move on in the guide or?
Thanks for your help in advance!
EDIT: I downloaded the sappimg.zip file a couple of times and I double checked that it copied okay to the goldcard... I think the file is correct but I don't know why I'm running into problems on the first few step
My phone has been sitting this way for almost an hour... Should I just take out the battery and hope for the best or does anyone have any suggestions? It seems that it hasn't flashed anything or done anything at all since it is just saying "unzipping" without any progress... I plugged it into usb because I don't want the battery running out but I'm not convinced its charging...
Anyone?
So I gave up, restarted (by removing the battery) I can still get into fastboot/'bootloader mode' (is this the same as recovery?) and my SPL and Radio information is the same as earlier. 'fastboot devices' reveals my phone in fastboot mode so I think I'm on the right track but I just want to be sure... Should I continue on and do the fastboot commands?
EDIT: PLEASE DELETE/CLOSE THIS THREAD
Despite running into problems, I continued through the guide and it worked out perfectly.
if you phones info in hboot is

then you can proceed to the next steps..
you need the original fender/1.2 radio img , hboot/spl, and amen ra's rooted recovery... and flash them in that order 1st. radio 2nd. hboot/spl and 3rd rooted recovery...
and no hboot is not the same as recovery..fastboot its your hboot/spl

Thanks for the reply, I guess I didn't need to create a thread because I figured it out on my own. I was worried I bricked my new phone but it worked out in the end.
Thanks again! This thread can be closed/deleted.

can't root phone (no sdcard and perfected spl)

I have a Mytouch 3g (32b)
Ok so everything that has led me to this point was that my sdcard was not being recognized anymore after flashing a bad rom. the sdcard is good, it works in the PC, i've tried different sdcards none work in the phone. also it recognizes the sappimg.img file when in hboot so i can flash system images.
problem is whenever i try to flash an "unperfected" spl it makes my phone the "H" version when it should be G

when i flash a perfect spl, it looks more accurate:

but with the perfected spl i can't flash a recovery, or use adb to trick the phone into thinking i have an sdcard folder.
someone help!! this has been going on for a week i am running out of options. i've read every single thread on xda at this point my head is spinning

[Q] Unable to upgrade to new radio / SPL

Hi all,
I'm in the process of trying to upgrade past CM 6.0 on my Magic (mytouch 1.2). I'm currently hitting a brick wall and was wondering if someone could give me a nudge in the right direction.
In fastboot - the device gives:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT -1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
..
RADIO-2.22.23.02
So that's what the phone is currently running. I can run Amon-Ra's 1.70 sapphire recovery on the phone as well as CM6.0
I was trying (hoping to be able to anyway) to upgrade the radio / SPL to take advantage of some of the GB stuff people are porting over. I first flashed an update to an Engineering SPL to 1.33.2005 in recovery, and then I fastboot flashed a new radio, 6.35.16.19 and SPL 1.76.2007. I attempted to flash Clockwork's recovery at this point, and have hit a brick wall. I can go back to the original version of the software with no problems, and my phone boots to fastboot even with the new stuff installed, but I am unable to boot to recovery, either by holding menu down, or trying to boot the image from fastboot.
I did make sure to format my SD Card, I've fastboot erase system -w'd, and also erased each individual partition, with no luck.
Any suggestions?

After flashing the Engineering SPL Update to move to 1.33.2005, the fastboot screen appears:

Then I flashed the new Radio (6.35.19) image, and the new SPL image (1.76.2007), as well as the Clockwork Mod recovery (I have tried this with AmonRa as well):

It's at this point, after doing 'fastboot erase system -w' and 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' and then rebooting, that I am unable to enter recovery mode. The phone just hangs at the htc magic splash screen. I should note that I am able to enter fastboot and hboot with no difficulty. Attempting to do 'fastboot boot "recovery.img"' has also proved unsuccessful.
I suspect that my problems lie in my original version of the SPL being S-ON. I get the feeling I'm going to need to go dig out my gold card, since the update I'm using to get to 1.33.2005 seems to indicate '32b'. I might also be reading too much into it.
What ever you do... STOP NOW.
You are working in the blind dude... you are 1 step away from bricking your device.
You cannot have 32A radio. Your device is a hybrid, a 32B with 32A ram... Just look at it as you have 32B with a little extra ram...
Follow this guide and continue from step 4 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734617
Thanks for the save. I'll definitely admit that some of this is higher level than I'm used to. Appreciate you saving me from myself ;-)

MyTouch 3.5mm Softbrick?

I've been trying to find an answer for a little while and couldn't come across anything about a MT 1.2 that has a locked bootloader.
My friend had a spare MyTouch w/ 3.5 MM headphone laying around that he didn't know what exactly happened to.
The phone boots past the green MyTouch screen. And just loops through the ANDROID boot screen.
I can boot into FastBoot Mode no problem.

Any recommendations?
Is there a custom recovery installed? If so, just re flash the rom. If not, flash the stock sappimg
-reflash the rom from recovery followed by a 32a kernel.
-if all else fails you can always flash the SAPPIMG.nbh from fastboot and re-root your phone.
