So first some background:
I have an original 1.5 Rogers HTC Magic phone. I applied the 911 update to it when it was pushed out from Rogers. It was then flashed following the CyanogenMod6.0-RC directions from their Wiki and had been working well enough up until recently.
Rogers released their 2.1 and so I decided to give it a whirl.
Downloaded RCMagic Rogers RUU 3.54.631.3 Android 2.1 for magic+ ( [Rom][NR][32A]RCMagic v5 710Mhz OC WIFI Working |Rogers 2.1[Oct 10] ) and attempted to apply it via the ClockworkMod Recovery. Am now stuck at the HTC MAGIC splash screen. It just sits there. So I tried flashing the CyanogenMod zip I had left on my SD card and am having the same issue.
Booted up in fastboot and have the following info
Code:
SAPHIRE UNKNOWN 32a ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAP50000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17

I suspect I screwed the pooch somewhere, though I'm thankful I can still get into both fastboot and Clockwork Recovery.
And of course, I was silly and didn't make a nandroid backup once I got everything in place the first time.
So how do I get myself back to a working phone? I couldn't find anything that would get me going where I needed, and really am just more confused.
If it makes a difference I'm running Windows7 on my PC (it's always been a pain using HTC/Rogers RUUs due to that).
Did you do a full wipe first? data/cache/dalvik?
I hadn't before I posted, no. But I just performed both Wipe options in Clockwork and I'm still hanging at the HTC MAGIC splash.
I'd be willing to bring the phone back to stock and work up from there if necessary. At least I'd be somewhere!

you have wrong radio... for that rom u need 6.35 radio...
check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794450
I noticed that last night before I went to bed.
I tried running that program as well, in fact. Though it failed to put the new radio over.
Any attempt to use it resulted in a failure message. fastboot shows that it is receiving the package but once everything gets to the phone the Switcher shows it as failed.
Update! After using the Radio Switcher Tool at work on an XP machine all is now well.
For some reason the updates wouldn't push to the phone from my Windows7 machine but then again, I've always had finicky issues like that with it.
So I'm not running the new mod and everything is working wonderfully.

Let me explain to you the whole story. I obviously know im going to get flamed for this one. I will give you the short short version
I had a rooted MT3G fender with this Rom installed
http:/forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669911
It worked all good until i started messing with stuff. I wanted this rom installed
http:/forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=673394
Since it said 32a and MT3G fender is 32a i assumed that it will install and no problems. So i used the gold card to change radio and spl to the 3.22 series. only to find out that they dont work for my phone. based on this post
"You are now screwed with a downgraded SPL and radio that do not work on this phone YAAAAAAY." -crypysmoker-

http:/forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622530
So now im thinking great i didnt catch that so let me just move back to where i was before. using the last section of that previous thread to install the stock radio and spl. i have done this already and know it works. so i install the stock radio and spl and the custom recovery. Boot up into recovery and restore nandroid. everything is going ok utill.....it locks up in a boot loop. i then boot back up into recovery and erase data. after that i tryed another nandroid restore and to my wonderful surprise i now lost the ability to mount the sdcard. i restarted and tryed many different cards and all failed. I then boot up into hboot restore with the goldcard and it then locks up at system.
Great now im looking for something to fix this whole mess. after that i try to reinstall the original spl and radio. I then have an error "signature verify failed." Now im thinking WTF!!!!!
I then find a thread about the RUU and how to turn off "S-on" if i install this official HTC app. However come to find out its the asia version. WONDERFUL FOR ME!!! I then found the Official T-mobile MT3G RUU, installed it and now i have a fastboot installed with a memchip with a red circle around it, not the 3 skate droids, and cant boot into HBOOT ,with the volume down button. All that i see is "RUU USB." I have adb but now get the error "remote not allowed." it used to be "signature verify failed." i have no recovery, no HBOOT, just fast boot with RUU USB.
How to i fix this mess up and get back to this?

I actually am stuck on the same screen with the same phone. I hope someone has been able to get this fixed
Damn, not trying to be mean, but you screwed up a lot.
I have the same version device as you, and I upgraded my radio/SPL. and did a lot of stuff, i semi-bricked it, but i got it working again. I suggest you re-root your whole entire phone. including flashing all the radios, spl,recovery, and etc.
Try following this theunlockr[DOT]com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/
The problem is that the phone is stuck in a bit of an interesting state. You can't flash from an RUU at this point because the engineering SPL used to root the phone is version 2.53.x, while the RUU's ROM is 2.10.x. You also cannot flash any images to the phone because the SPL is locked (S-ON). So the only way to fix the phone at this point would be to somehow get an HTC-signed 2.53+ ROM for the SAPP31000 (mytouch 3g 1.2/fender) or find a way to unlock the SPL. I had a nice chat with some of the Modaco guys and we went through a lot of options with none of them working. The phone's basically in a bit of a chicken vs. egg state. So personally, I will be building a serial cable to manually unlock the SPL so that I can flash images back on manually.
So, while I wish it was as easy as just re-flashing the phone, you can't do that with a locked SPL and no HBOOT mode available. Onward to a serial/TTL cable advendure!
Once I get the parts in to build it, I'll follow up here with my results

Okay I'm lost, weary of trying things as I'm not 100% clear on alot of this stuff.
Here's what I did, I recently had tmo replace my original mt3g, sadly the replacement gave the version is older or whatever message. I've gone through the steps and now I'm stuck at the boot up splash screen. I'll post what i've done so far, hopefully someone can identify whats gone wrong and steer me
Ok I followed the instructions here:
h~p://theunlockr.com/2009/08/14/how-to-root-your-mytouch-3g/
h~p://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
h~p://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/
That worked, the phone was rooted and booting.
I then installed the the AMON_RA recovery img and I've tried both flavors
recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img
recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img
I forget at this point, but I think the G didn't work for me, but i have H working.
From there I began following the instructions on cynogen mod to install...

h~p://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_HTC_Magic_%2832B%29
I booted the the recovery, wiped everything, installed the cm base, then gapps and powered down and powered on, stuck at splash...
I've tried a few variances and just to make sure, i went back to recovery and installed the Rom-RAv1.1.0H-signed-update.zip again to make sure it was working. It booted right up.
Ok so here is my phones info from the vol down + power hboot menu

I'm not sure of what else to include, my minds melted at this point.
It was so easy to root my old mt3g, this new model just makes me feel like an idiot.

Hmm
Did you root your phone using the MyTouch Rooting guide? Or the MyTouch 1.2 (has 3.5 mm headphone jack) guide? From what it sounds like you got the updated model of the MT3G.
If you used the Rooting guide for the old model and you have the new one, you will have issues. Heres the link:
h~p://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/
If I'm right, you should have no issue re-rooting your phone.
Good luck, hope this helps.
<grin> that's another aspect of my mind melting yesterday, making sure i wasn't following instructions for the wrong version of the phone.
I have the original base model, no 3.5mm.
Tmo sent me the replacement phone about a month ago.
So that said, I think I followed the original versions instructions.
Flashing back to the old version
Rom-RAv1.1.0H-signed-update.zip
the phones worked fine all night and I got it doing the things i rooted for in the first place, sharing my cells inet to my laptop etc. so I can live with this until the weekend I suppose but still want to figure out why i couldn't get cynogen mod 5 running.
Okay i have an idea what might be going on, just my guess at this point.
I think i have mix matched mt3g-a and mt3g-b files.
Here's my thinking...
recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img - works
recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img - doesn't work, sits at splash screen
Rom-RAv1.1.0H-signed-update.zip - works, but shows up in settings>about Model = ION. I think Ion is the mt3g-a flavor...
I tried today to use flashrec, the first backup of my recovery failed. tried again it reported success. closed app opened and it gave me the option to flash the cyno recovery or restor mine, i flashed the CM and when i rebooted to the recovery it would just sit there at the splash screen. i could still boot normally and into the fastboot menu... I then went and downloaded the CM 5.08 install from a mirror.
I also tried the the newest cm v6 rc2, and update-cm-4.2.15.1-signed.zip
All stuck at splash on boot.
Fixed and working, I think it was my radio. I had a mirror post over ta the CM forums, and I was pointed to the correct radio and after flashing the radio and the g version of the recovery it came up, then flashed CM and Gapps and it worked...
I was also told to update my spl, but havn't done that part yet.

I am using the universal androot app, and running ROM Manager.
Whenever I boot into recovery, it either freezes after a few seconds, or resets the phone back to the first splash screen, and continues to work as normal (no bricking or any of that jazz.)
So anyway, my question is...
Does anyone know why it's doing this?
I got it to flash Cyanogenmod 6.0 once, but it didn't actually install.
Do I need a different radio and SPL?
I've tried searching, and I found nothing... but if there is already a thread with this issue, I'll gladly revert to that, and delete this thread.
TL;DR
-Phone is involuntarily restarting when I go into recovery mode
-Running stock Rogers rom, ROM manager, rooted with universal androot app
-New to android customization
-Am I doing anything wrong?
Thanks for reading.
I have the same problem!!
What I can do to fix it?
I'm really scared ...
the problem likely is you are loading the ebi1 recovery (magic 32a running 3.x radio) on you "hero like" magic (magic 32a running 6.x radio)
The hero recovery will work but you may find few roms.
I'd reccomend these rooting instructions
The process will work from the top I believe but since you ran androot after placing the files onto the phone you can skip to where I run exploid (with the seceetlol password) and run 'su' instead of exploid.
Once you have a 3.x radio with working rom and recovery if you want to checkout rom manager you can hopefully with less issues and if an issue happens you can always flash a recovery via fastboot.
I did end up fixing my issue.
Great Big Dog on the androidforums helped me out...
I tried to look for my thread that I posted on the androidforums, but I guess it got deleted...
pretty much... I followed GBD's quick root guide for the post 911 update for rogers magics, with a tiny bit of a switch for flashing the amonRA rom.
I can't remember exactly what it was, and I really wish that thread didn't get deleted.
And I can't link in any posts, so I can't really help you out.
I usually always just suggest installing a fresh RUU, especially if you don't know what you're doing... like me.
you can probably find one on the htc website.
Hi,
I am not all that new to rooting / flashing i've had a lot of experience but i think i've made a school boy error.
I rooted a HTC Magic last night and added the 1.5 Hero Rom.
this morning i looked for a later ROM and i found one from the unlockr.
the issue with this was that it required a radio flash. My 32B Magic is now flashed to 32A and i cannot even get into recovery mode OR re-flash the radio.img i had originally through fastboot.
Upon boot the Magic just comes up with the Mytouch 3G spash screen and nothing else.
Details:
Rooted using gold card method, fine.
Hero rom installed: fine.
Updating the ROM however, the radio was flashed to 32A and now i cannot get back into recovery mode.
Is there anything i can do? has anyone seen this before? I really don't want to keep using the motorola dext, sorting this magic out will make me happy.
Please help.
thanks.
you cant go in fastboot mode???
[edit]No, I can get to fastboot, i can get the opening my touch splash up but nothing is working from there. i've tried the arab rom but i can't get my pc to recognize. there has to be a way to flash this back...
[edit] update - Attempted to flash stock 32B Radio to get rid of the 32A that i think's causing the issue - fastboot flash radio.img... Sends radio OK but hangs on Writing radio, I get a black screen on the device. didn't work.
I don't want to ruin the mood any more than it is now, but I did practically the same thing; flashed 32B radio onto 32A Magic, and it was unrepairable in my country. Sold it for parts a few weeks later and got another one.
No fastboot, no boot at all, nothing. All that I was able to get was the blue led mode (trackball + power), and the only repair method was JTAG, which wasn't available to me.
That sucks.
From what I can gather this very well might be dead but everything I can find tells me as long as i can get into fastboot there must be something i can do.
At the moment I can use fastboot and HBOOT but i'm unable to get to a recovery or flash a stock radio.
so far i've tried every recovery/radio i can get my hands on. Hope i'm missing something and somebody is able to help.
flashing 32B to 32A does make me feel a bit spastic to be honest. it's a mistake I can never repeat with anything!

Hi,
I recommend that you download this switcher (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794450&highlight=eyegor). Only to use the files (HBOOT, RADIO and REVOVERY), again ONLY because of the files.
After download reboot on fastboot mode and flash: HBOOT, RADIO and RECOVERY, using this sequence.
Good luck,
I'm not sure if this will deal with 32B Magic that's been flashed to 32A but i'll give it a shot. thanks.
Unfortunately there was no luck with that or the Arabic RRU, The GUI Switcher method to flash the radio failed, now phone won't even turn on.
If it wasn't a brick before, it sure as hell is now. i'll chalk this one up as a mistake i think and just be more careful in future.
Hello,

And I want to put Yoshi Froyo (or any good android 2.2).
So I looked at a bunch of articles and started following one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756918) and I got my phone rooted (with superuser permissions and all that jazz).
Okay cool, so now I need a recovery image. I installed the one listed (Recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img) and then I restarted my phone and went into recovery just to make sure it worked, and it did.
Okay so now I went to the thread and read it all and found some instructions
"-Make sure you have the .27.08 or .28.25 radio and .0013(d) spl... if not see extras...
-Superwipe twice
-Recovery wipe the list twice
-install ROM
-Enjoy ^__^"
So now I know I don't have a .27.08 radio and I don't know what spl I have, but I assume I don't have that one either. So I go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909900 as it said and read it, but here is where I become confused.
Do I need to downgrade to 1.5 or 1.6? Or can I do it from 2.1? I tried following (http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/) and the SAPPIMG.nbh came up invalid, so then I tried another one and it also came up invalid.
So here is my question, do I need to downgrade in order to install a custom rom? I've read a bunch of conflicting material and I don't have any desire to brick my phone. Some say I do some say I don't.
Any help? thanks!
Well first of all you have a diff radio then most of us cause of rodgers. And the 2708 is a dream radio not magic same with the spl you mentioned. As long as you have root you can custom rom.
And I would recommend cm6.1 stable I find it more stable then yoshi's right now I like yoshi's but I think it still has a little way to go.
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA Premium App
I know it's a magic cause it does not have a keyboard. I bought it with cupcake on it and then I got the Rogers Sense UI Rom update to android 2.1-update1 and then I got the 911 fix.
