first post so hi all , just wondered if anyone could help with my problem , i have a htc magic 32b voda (unlocked) plus rooted by goldcard , tried to install various compatible roms with no success , at first i used a one click rooter - pants! didnt seem to work at all and wouldnt let me write any files and would fail installation
so i rooted via goldcard and my installations complete fully without any errors at all ....but......i cant seem to get off the red voda loadup screen and boot in to the phone at all after that so i have to restore my nandroid backup and start again ........any ideas as to why this is failing miserably for me ? im wiping and reformattin also between reinstalling .

thanks in advance to anyone who can help me !!!
You have wrong radio/spl combo.
Change your radio to 2.22.19.26I.
Flash G custom recovery (32B).
Flash any 32B rom or your nandroid backup.
PS: Make sure that the last "H" in the first line of your fastboot change back to "G".
This will happen when you change the radio!
thanks , but now i have a worse problem , after i updated the radio and reebooted there is nothing , the phone is stuck on the logo again but with no recovery options , fastboot or anything is there a way to restore it sumhow ? or is it bricked forever ?
According to this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=659403
You should have the 2.22.19.26I radio. The spl you have works fine with this radio.
So which radio did you flash and how did you flash it...
Post here the command you used.. plus the source of the radio image...
ps: I hope that you did not flash the 2.22.23.02 radio... that's for the magic with 3.5 mm jack!
ii flashed the 2.22.19.26I radio in the clockworkmod recovery option- install .zip from sdcard, after wiping cache and data , image for radio was also found on here somewhere.
Did you let it reboot a couple of times?
Did the process reboot into the recovery by it self?
Why did you flash radio from recovery when you have eng spl?
Any way... if you don't have recovery nor fastboot you are in a bad situation.
Do a search in this sub-forum and you shall find many suggestions to how to fix if possible.
Good luck :0)
Why does he need the 26I radio? I'm on a 32b mytouch and I'm running the 23.02 radio with no problems on any of the roms i've tried.
so i take it i bricked because i flashed the wrong radio?!! or because i may have flashed it wrongly ?

I *think* it's more a bad combination of SPL and radio that causes a brick, rather than the radio itself, if that makes sense?
No body knows!
Imho i think that you did not let the radio write operation complete in the right way.
When you flash radio trough recovery the system will reboot twice.
If you flashed the radio you said you flashed, then your system should be up and running. Even if you flashed the other 2.22 radio...
It also seems like a bad flash of radio since you got no activity at all now. Radio is like bios for a computer... No bios or bad bios will result in a brick!
ahhh thinkin hope was lost ...wen i read about brickin , it seems that nobody who had bricked it could connect via usb at all ...... but after leaving my usb connected for the day a unknown device is found but no drivers will install for it , when attempting to turn on into recovery still no fastboot but also device isnt found on pc anymore , is there any way with phone turned off and charging to restore at all ... anything would be helpfull ... thanks guys

So my phone is stuck on the HTC Magic logo. I don't think it is bricked because I can still access fastboot and Hboot no problem. This all started happening after I went to an older radio and back to the newer one. Now when I turn on my phone it is just stuck on the HTC Magic logo. Why is that? Thanks
By the way here is the info on my phone

What rom did you flash? If you flashed the cyanogen test5 make sure you flash the port file by pershoot or bcrook which will allow the rom to boot past the screen where you are stuck.
yeah I did want to flash the cyanogen t5 but when this happened all I was doing was changing my radio...anyways I've downloaded the bcrook port so what do I do from here?
it was radio rom 1.33.2010
Re-Read // Flash the old version of the radio that was working back on your device via fastboot.
Then if you backed up your phone with recovery -> Nandroid restore it to that point.
Read more into the radio versions and for what boards, and then flash the appropriate radio.
Should be all gravy from there~
_________
EDIT:
This happened to me and after a litte the phone completely stopped working and TMobile sent me a replacement phone.
Be careful when flashing radio's etc.
Does anybody ever read or use the search function?? I mean if they were to read the posts even. On the first page, there is like 3 posts with the same issue.
So I had cyanogenmod 5.0.7 installed and I decided to try the new smoki rom, I realized I had to update radio so I tried the radio tool and all I get was writing radio..... and nothing else it just stayed there for a good 15 minutes. Any ideas?
I have the 32A and it was rooted with a gold card. I can get into fastboot but nothing else. Thanks!
We need more info. Do you have a mytouch 1.2/Fender Edition Mytouch? If so, you cannot run anything other than stock spl and radio (1.33.0013 for spl and radio 2.22.23.02)
The good news is that if you do have a mt3g 1.2/ Fender LE, it is not bricked since you can still get into fastboot. From there, you would need to make another goldcard, load the sappimg that contained the engineering spl and then flash stock radio, amon ra's recovery, and stock spl once again.
Normal Htc
Its a normal magic i.e. rogers branded without headphone jack does. Do i have to do the golden card thing even if I rooted it before? could you point me to a guide for rerooting I'm kind of a n00b
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
Okay, since it is not a mt3g 1.2/Fender LE, I don't think you have to reroot. Can you boot up the phone, can you get into recovery, and can you get into hboot (vol down + power button) ? And what is the spl version right now?
HTC MAGIC
all I can do is get into hboot and fastboot when I try recovery I just the rogers loading screen and it doesnt go away. my spl i think is 1.76.2007 and my current radio says 3.22.20.17 but i did fastboot radio erase and it still shows it. I have tried fastboot flash recovery then booting recovery but it doesnt work I have also tried fastboot flash radio with like 3 different radio images and that didnt work. I'm kind freaking out because I have 0 warranty lols.
Don't freak out, it's not bricked. Don't expect to be able to flash anything if you dont have engineering spl (1.33.2010). Now, I don't have a traditional 32a magic, so this might be the best solution to your problem, however, this is what I know will work.
You need to make a goldcard again and load the engineering spl on it. (I'll look for the link in a bit)/
Then, you boot into Hboot mode and it'll automatically flash the spl for you.
Afterwards, you go into fastboot, flash whatever radio you had originally, then the amon ra recovery image, and then whatever spl you had before.
Lastly, you go into recovery and flash cyanogenmod back. Once you finish doing all of that, I'll help you get the other rom on your magic if you need help.
I'll look for the file you need in a minute. I gotta finish up my physics homework.
EDIT:
Okay. These two guides can explain things a lot better than I can. Choose whichever one you can do more reasily.

Golden Card
How would I make a gold card if I can't get the CID because the phone wont boot? Is there another way to read this information of it? I tried googleing but no luck yet
Nvm
Nvm I found the goldcard.img i'm charging my phone right now and i'll try it in a hour thanks for the help.
You can get the CID even if your phone doesnt boot. As long as you're at the boot screen, it'll connect and you can get the CID.
Unsure
Not quite sure how I can fallow the guide since I can only get into fastboot any suggestions?
tried engineering spl
I got this engineering spl ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010) - MD5 : F9674D19BE5F949D0D9DC99714D210E3 and put it on a golden memory card but the hboot doesnt recognize it do I need to rename it? I also tried flashing radio again with fastboot flash radio radio.img with radio.img being the old and new radio still as soon as it starts writing the htc screen goes black but on and the phone becomes unresponsive
Hi there, I have a prbolem and need your help.
Here is the situation :
I have a HTC Rogers magic and wanted to root it, so I followed this procedure :
greatbigdog01.wordpress[add dot com here]/2010/07/12/new-shorter-rogers-magicmagic-rooting-guide/
Everything went well until the step 5.
I changed the Radio/SPL/Recovery using the utility, everything went well, wrote that it sucessfully updated, but after doing the reset the phone command, my phone was stock on the HTC Magic screen. Nothing.
I switched back to the newer SPL. Everything went well but again, stock on the magic screen. Don't know why. My PC does detec the phone.
I can go in Fastboot ect... (Home + power work, volume down + power work and I think back + work too) So from here I think I am not bricked.
Here is the info from the fastboot(?) :
hboot 1.76.2007 sapp50000
cpld-12
radio-6.35.10.18
If I am right, If I flash a rom that isn't compatible with my SPL/Radio I can brick my phone, so I rather wait what you guys suggest me to do. I don't care about loosing root as I need my phone back up asap.
Hope I gave you the needed informations
Thanks in adavance.
Post ALL fastboot info please.

I think thtat's all the info?
Have you flashed a new rom that was designed for the new radio? Try Smoki or RCmix.
What do you mean by new rom? Since I did exactly what is wrote in th tutorial and everything went well, I think I have the recovery-ra-hero-v1.6.2.img? Also tryed to flash back update-hboot-1.76.2007-signed.zip but it did not help.
Do you think I should put back the old SPL (1.33.2010?) with the radioswitcher and falsh a custum rom?
After you flash spl, radio and recovery you need to boot info recovery by holding down home and pressing power. Then you copy a rom for the new radio on your card and flash it from recovery.
Ok so you want me to try one of the 2 rom you posted?
Yup. Those if you want Android 2.1 with Sense or CursorSense if you want Android 1.5 with Sense
Thanks a lot , I wil give it a try. If I ever want Cyanogen, do you think it is possible that I switch back to old Radio/SPL, then without booting, flash the new rom? Do you think it would work?
As far as I know, there are 2 or 3 ports of CyanogenMod 6 for the Magic with 6.35 radio. If those don't work out for you, just use eyegor's radio switcher to install the old radio/spl/recovery and then flash the ROM from recovery.
2 boots, 1 rom 1 radio make sure for your device!
Good luck
Cheers!!
Thanks everyone! Put back the old spl and flashed cyanogen and it booted! Thanks again!
I did a mistake and now im asking for advice because i dont want to brick it for good.
This is all i can see on my device after i tried to run the RUU update to 2.1 with sense
If i try to run again the RUU it says ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR

RUU
What can i do to bring him back alive ?
Big thx , Gabi.
First you must flash custom recovery,and then enter it and flash ENG SPL like 1.33.2010, and then you must download eyegor's radio switcher and flash all new and then install new rom
thx for the fast answer
This is my first time , but i still don't know the steps , i am very confused.
I have read about similar situations where goldcard was needed or a RUU solved the problem
If a RUU can solve my problem too it will be great.
Do you have Windows 7 or vista? I think i had same problem i did it on WinXP,which phone do you have Rogers Magic or something else?
I have windows 7 , i found a thread with a similar problem
now i`m trying to do a goldcard but i`m not pretty shure what to do with this after i am done, i just fallow the steps there
I have found 6-7 diferent RUU but only one can actualy see the phone and that is the RUU that actualy did this to my magic , the RUU update stops at the signature ,so with different os i may have a chance?
Here is the thing you can download only 1 RUU from htc site, you must go to country you are from select the right HTC magic i think you are using Rogers magic and then you must enter you S/N there and then you can download it. And install it on winxp. I must ask you something which android do you have 1.5 or 1.6?
I have obtained my htc RUU from my country site but when i try to apply it can't find my device sadly, i think is like you said only works in xp i will try today.
Now i have a goldcard but i dont realy know what to do with him , how can i use it to restore my phone.
Android 2.2 froyo with CyanogenMod 6 was , i was trying to make it to oficial 2.1 with sense
First of all you cant do RUU when you have CM6 it will brick your phone totaly, you must downgrade you phone to original Rogers 1.5 you should batter install some custom made Android made of rogers i created my own,be carefull very carefull.
So in my case is total brick?
How can i downgrade? and witch custom android?
If you want Rogees 2.1 android you just need to change spl (which i can give you,can you enter recovery?and which do you have),second thing is to use eyegor's radio switcher and just press flash new button via fastboot,and the restar to recovery again adn install rogers stock rom with root(which is like original only with root).and i must ask eyegor something so be patient
I can only enter in Fastboot , that is the problem the phone don't allow me to enter in recovery mode.
In my case a goldcard is useful? because i did one following a guide but i don't know how to use it stupid me
I never did goldcard but i know this that you must follow those instructuions if you made a good goldcard you must flash the right eng spl which is 1.33.2010 and if you do that right it will unbrick,and you must then install Custom recovery it is RA's 1.7.0H. When you finish that download eyegore's radio switcher and enter fastboot again and flash new option if do that right then you can boot to recovery and install ROM

And in fastboot you must have same specs like mine

1) The reason you don't get connection to the RUUs is because you are in fastboot mode.
RUU needs adb connection mode
2) You have the wrong spl/radio combo. That's why you cannot boot your device to any system. To fix this you have to change the spl to 1.33.20xx version, where the xx can be 05, 09 or 10.
3) Following the logic from option 2 you have a problem!
The spl you have now is a perfected one, meaning you can't do anything with it. So changing only the spl is not possible (as fare as i know :0)
4) Following the logic from option 3 you have to use a goldcard and flash a sappimg.zip or sappimg.nbh.
Both will try to overwrite ALL data on the nand and restore the device to a state where you again have some control over it.
The solution)
You have to make a goldcard and use a combitable sappimg.zip/nbh.
Try this one:
http://rapidshare.com/files/421772202/SAPPIMG.nbh
Put the file on the root of the goldcard. Reboot into hboot or fastboot... let it work... when done restart and post the result here :0)
PS: Give thx to WoblyGoblin because he convinced me to help you out.
Looks like my card is not good for goldcard , i will try tomorrow again with a different card.
PS: BIG thx to both of you for you`r help!
I'm pretty sure your hosed. Once you run an RUU and it fails your stuck with RUU USB until a RUU is ran properly. Which wont happen in your case.

Why wont work in my case?
I think what mumilover told me can be a solution, i must try.
Any progress yet???

if you have a goldcard, put in your device and flash with RUU rom.
if you didn't have a goldcard, download your original rom from HTC website and flash it
if you have non branded device, choose unbranded rom.
but if you have branded device, choose your branded rom.
i was semi brick (stuck in RUU mode) my device twice, and this solution working well for me
Hi, please help me, I cant flash radio on Magic 32A.
at the beginning, I had a problem with calls, either I have not heard or dropped call or not at all impossible to call while I had signal.
I recently bought a phone with ROM smoke X1 radio 6.35.xx with SPL 1.76.2007.
I thought that it would only problem with radio, so I wanted to cast using 3.22.xx RadioSwitcherGUI v.4.0. I put the flash just like to 3.22.xx and it took place nicely successfull,
then I wanted to flash CM RC1, but my recovery was not running, so I decided to fix it all by RadioSwitcherGUI v.4.0 with button "flash old", but radio flashing during write to me failure .
Again I tried to flash radio only by radioswithcer, but again unsuccessfully, then I tried to flash using fastboot and radio 6.35.xx and 3.22.xx, even after 15min. was only a black screen.
Through fastboot I then installed RA recovery, the works, and to know to get fastboot no problem, just I cant flash radio.
Can I save phone? Or is bricked?
Thank for help (sorry for my english, google translate help me)
edit:
solved: flashed old spl, then the old radio and again spl
