Urgent help for rooting my magic - myTouch 3G, Magic General

I have tried every possible way to root my HTC magic 32a and gain access to the recovery console.
Now my phone says that it is alreay rooted. But, when I access the recovery by holding home and power buttons, I can go to the screen with the green text, but after like 3 or 4 seconds it disappear and phone restart.
Any idea about that?

Maybe you flashed the wrong recovery? What radio/spl are you running and what recovery did you flash.
BTW, wrong section, this belongs in General.

HBOOT-1.76.0007 (SAPP10000)
I tried both: recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H.img
& recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.2H.img
Is there something I did wrong???
Sorry for the wrong section

Yeah, you need to flash the recovery for the Hero, because you're running the new radio.

Like, it was said before use this recovery

[Q] A little bricked

Hi, well it looks like I may have messed up my phone real good this time.
I've had it rooted and oc’ed sense November with no problems. About a week ago I tried to undo it all to send it in for warranty replacement (bad speaker) and semi-bricked it.
Been trying too fix it myself for the last 8 days looks like I'm may need a hand.
S-OFF
HBOOT-0.82.0000
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.02.01.15_M2
I was running
Stock ROM
Kernel was the one in vision-baconbits-0.3
And my recovery was the CW one in ROM manger back in Nov
I used this method to un-root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835971
When applying the PC10IMG.zip file, I got this error in step 4 system “fail-uz”
“image unzipping fail!”
Now I still have S-off
It will boot to HTC splash screen and hangs there.
I’m not sure what kernel I have now. I think it went back to stock like the recovery (but not sure)
I’m back on stock recovery and when it boots it displays “E:Can’t open /cache/command”
When trying an update.zip I when get to the “verifying current system…” step and it displays “assert faild: apply-path_check(“/system/app/AccountAndSyncSettings.odex” fallowd by three long strings of numbers and letters. And then “E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip”
Adb with phone in recovery tells me it’s “offline”
C:\Documents and Settings\Me And You\Desktop\root g2\adb tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT09MR213455 offline
Adb does even less with phone booted to splash screen.
I do have fastboot access
When I tried pushing a new CW recovery it fails with (remote: not allowed).
Same thing if I try flashing a system.img or boot.img
C:\Documents and Settings\Me And You\Desktop\root g2\adb tools>fastboot flash re
covery vision-cwm3src3.0.0.5-1-16-11.img
sending 'recovery' (4170 KB)... OKAY [ 0.811s]
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.811s
I have re-downloaded both the update.zip and PC10IMG.zip files from the link above, And tried two different sd cards. Thank’s for taking the time to read all this and for any help you provide. Believe it or not, I’m having fun. lol
Here a few screen shots

Did you root using the rage/gfree method?
Yes

There is a method in the CWMod thread in Development that has a PC10IMG.zip file just for the sole purpose of installing CWMod. By any chance did you try flashing CWMod that way?
you are getting (remote: not allowed) error because you don't have ENGINEERING HBOOT installed .i looked at the screen shots too and just before s-off it said SHIP rather than ENG so as a result of that unfortunately you cant use fastboot commands to flash anything from there.
I will try the cw img when I get home tonight thanks.

Please, flame me not for I have read and read until I can read no more.
I am just confused and what to make sure I am following the right thread.
My Wife used Visionary r14 for some reason to permaroot her phone and it rebooted and is now stuck on the HTC Boot screen.
I go into Hboot and it shows S-on.
I do a factory reset to no avail.
From my understanding, there is still hope. Please what do I need to do to get her phone back working.
And attempting to flash back says that Main is older.
She is still stock with STOCK RECOVERY, everything.

Thanks EdKeys.
I tried that but unfortunately it just scans the file and then goes back, no option to flash or anything.
I have been told that I would need a ROM that has a version higher than my current Post OTA version.
How do I proceed? Do you know any modified Shipped ROM that could accomplish this?
Thanks

Depends on what you want to achieve, it could help if you mention that?
If you want to flash a recovery you need to do s-off and then flash CWM from rom manager.
How do I do s-off? I tried using the window application on this forum but it wouldn't work.
I use Linux

Cyanogen (mod) 7

Hi, my name is Gerardo, I had a HTC Evo, from sprint,
last monday i root my Evo, with Unrevoked3 and install the tether for internet,
but today i download the cyanogen and after reboot my cell i see the android dool
in the skateboard but nothing hapen, is never turn on the cell, NOW, WHAT I DO WRONG!!
If any one can help i appreciate, the true i don't speak and read perfect english,
but the first steps for rooting my cell i do good, so i think i can fix my cell.
thank you for your help!
Did you do a full wipe of cache, dvalik and data before flashing Cyanogen? Sounds like you are stuck in a boot loop with a bad flash.
Boot back into the bootloader power and volume down. Then go boot into recovery and wipe all, dalvik, and cache. Then reflash cyanogenmod 7. (Did you make a backup before?)

If you are seeing them androids on them skateboards, I am assuming you are in the bootloader or in the fastboot mode already.
Choose recovery, and then reboot.
If you dont see recovery, try bootloader, then recovery and then reboot system.
Welcome to CM7. Follow Blamme instructions if youre on a black screen with Cyanogen logo. Follow Idlemonk instructions if white screen with 3 androids at bottom.

I think he is talking about blue Cyanogen Android on a skateboard (boot animation).
But for the OP, just power up by holding volume down & power button, then go to recovery wipe everything and reflash.

No, that will just flash the Clockworld recovery, which sucks.
If you want to do it through ROM Manager go to Download Rom, press menu, sort by downloads, and Google Apps should be the second option.
But it is better just to use the link novanosis85 gave, it would be easier to find the .zip if you manually download it.

Shouldn't be too bad of a deal, if you nandroid backed up your your rom before you flashed CyanogenMod. Just nandroid recover. If you did not back up your rom before you flashed, then you have to completely wipe everything and reboot. If it still does not load than you could have gotten a bad download. You can find info on how to fix your problem in the Evo forums.

Search on here for Gapps 20110504 or get them from the download link where you got your Cyanogen ROM. Save to root of SD and flash same way you flashed ROM.

Touchscreen not working after aospx update!!!

Hey guys,
I updated my Desire HD to aospx BR7 but upon rebooting the touchscreen is not responding at all. I have tried rebooting the phone multiple times and have taken the battery out but its not working I have a nandroid backup for the BR6 but I have touch recovery so I cannot access that either. Is there a way to access that nandroid backup or flash a different rom without the recovery? I would really appreciate any help
Cheers
EDIT: I was able to use fastboot to flash the CWM recovery but upon restoring my aospx BR6 nandroid backup, the touchscreen is still not responsive. I tried a fresh install as well but its still not working. Any ideas?? Cheers
1:Reboot into bootloader
2:Connect your phone to your pc
3:select fastboot
4:run a RUU for your phone

Is that ok to flash? Also the poster is giving instructions on flashing it through the recovery but how would I go about flashing it through fastboot? Like I know when flashing radio you just write fastboot flash radio radio.img. Are there multiple disc images that I have to flash?

yea not responding at all mate. Yea might be hardware issue but the problem came up as soon as the ROM was flashed so I was thinking it might be like a touch driver or something. I tried flashing recovery but I get this

If i cant sort this out in the next week....I might as well send it for repair and hope that the service guys dont discover that the phone is rooted and I have voided the warranty. Appreciate your help Muikkuman :good:

When i flashed it the touchscreen magically started working :laugh: Now in order to root, recovery and ENG S-off.....I know there is like the ace hack kit. While reading the instructions, it said that I shouldnt use the tool if I have S-off and i do. Should i bite the bullet and give it a shot?
Here is the info for the phone
Android version: 2.2

Nope.
Check if you have a recovery. If not just flash one. I believe, not sure, that the hack kit will give you those options in the event you don't have a recocery.

Check to see what are the other options for the hack kit. I can't remember if it has one if you are already s-off. But do not run it again since you are already rooted, if you do it will mess things up.
I'll try to do a search in a few hours on how to fix your issue, if I don't fall asleep first. I can't remember the solution off the top of my head.

Thanks for the link. After reading and trying to understand, I'm still unsure. I've worked with CWM before but I don't understand the S-OFF stuff?
I can't find a step-by-step tutorial
Well, boot into hboot and what does it say there? If it says s-off then all you'll need is to flash a recovery to flash roms.
S-on you'll need to root it using the hack kit.
