Please help un-brick my phone - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Hello,
back again: after some idiots with jtag equipment were unable to reinstall software on my phone i have decided to take another chance:
The reason for this software reinstall is that the phone is not starting: it shows htc magic twice then htc and then it shuts down.
So i managed to create a goldcard - yes i know it is working
I have managed to get my phone to this stage by using an amon_ra sappimg.zip file:
sapphire pvt 32A eng s-off H
hboot-1.33.2010 (sapp10000)
cpld-12
radio-3.22.20.17
jun 2 2009
as you can see i can enter fast boot ... but ... i hace no ideea on what to do next: what to install ?
I have to mention that adb devices or fastboot devices are not (yet hopefully) detecting my phone.
Please help!

come on! 40 views and no one gives a ... just say : flash this or follow this.
I've read so many threads and everything is so mumbo jumbo. only a few people know what to do, the others just walk in the dark.

I've done it twice on HTC Magic. I've followed the instructions on CyanogenMod's wiki (Google cyanogenmod wiki sapphire dream jtag).
If you've got fastboot then it is no longer bricked. It is just then a matter of adb'ing the recovery image to the unit. You are almost there ....

You got to fastboot? Wonderful!
You can connect it to your PC and run:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <file>.img
From where you'll be able to flash the recovery you want - then poweroff the phone and press Home+Poweroff to install the ROM you want.
But wait, how did you create that goldcard and unbricked the phone? What was your initial problem? Something like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBciNMhoAs8&feature=related

Got your pm.
Well you now have a ready system.
Download the radioswitcher tool eyegor and i made from my signature.
Restart in fastboot.
Press "flash new".
Reboot in recovery.
Use ms-usb-toggle function to mount the sdcard.
Download this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=778083
It's rogers 2.1 by capychimp.
Put it on the root of the sdcard.
Toggle back to your recovery.
Flash the rom.
Reboot into the system...
You should be set :0)
Good luck

I have mentioned that i cannot acces my device via fastboot yet. adb devices and fastboot devices shows nothing. I do not know what to do next, on this computer i have installed htc sync and adb ... but this computer did not had the chance to connect with my magic while is was working ... so im not sure of the drivers are working.
It seems that my only chance is to do it by hand using sdcard. so please help me!

My issue was this:
The phone on startup is showing twice the "htc magic" logo and then "htc". then it powers off. No restart possbile untill battery is taken out. Fastboot and recovery are accessible on the phone but i cannot see my phone in windows in fastboot or recovery via `fastboot devices` or `adb devices` commands.

Which zip did you insert in the goldcard?
That will probably solve my problem as well.

The file i downloaded and managed to install is named 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip and it appeared in one of amon_ra's posts (i can not find this now ). just renamed it to sappimg.zip put it on goldcard and it worked.

Ok si put the sappimg.nbh provided by mumilover ... the phone boots appear my touch ... appear android and then it shuts off. I guess that something is wrong hardware in this device.

Just to be clear, what phone do you have? a Mytouch or Rogers Magic?

HTC Magic from vodaphone Romania. So i guess 32A

Listen... STOP what you are doing....
Don't flash anything like a sapphire.zip/nbh...
You are set... you have the right spl/radio combo + you have eng spl...
The only thing needed to fix is the windows driver!!!
So, take it easy and think..
Don't change the configuration or anything.
The reason i told you to try the radio tool is to make sure you have the right recovery.
I have added you on gtalk.
Just focus your energy to fix the drivers so this commands shows your htc device nr.
Code:
fastboot devices

You will need a gold card to fix it
Tell us if you can get into the screen that you get with "volume down + power"... If you can get into that screen, then you will be able to update you magic trough the goldcard method...

then that sucks. BRICKEDD!!!!!
people get those errors cuz of wrong files..
very stupid mistake
if you have windows with right deriver and htc sync, you can try to flash an original RUU , it should work. if you cant download one using you serial number , make a gold card and use another RUU
Edit: maybe there is no ruu for that phone ... then you should ful the ruu by changing rom.zip file to one you know works.
edit : oh man you flashed G1 radio
Code:
assert compatible_with("0.2") == "true"
assert getprop("ro.product.device") == "dream" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "dream"
show_progress 0.5 0
write_radio_image PACKAGE:radio.img
show_progress 0.5 10
can you fastboot back+power
if so
download recovery from amon_ra making sure its the right one 32a H 32b G
then
open cmd
navigate to your sdk tools folder
fastboot flash recovery c:\(wherever you put recover.img file) (whatever file name is).img
i put mine in sdk tools
so mine will look like
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img
hope this is what you need if not sorry about waisting your time

My HTC MAGIC A6161 from Vodafone
one day the phone comes up with the Vodafone boot screen only and i have only access to FASTBOOT mode and nothing else
does someone know a way to get the original NBH file as it seems the only way to unbrick it so far and of course none of the FASTBOOT commands work and none of the ADB commands work too
can anyone help pleaaaaassssseee
define, DO you, or DO YOU NOT have access to fastboot?!? (when you press back&power)
if you have access to fastboot then you're not bricked at all.
if you do not have access to fastboot, recovery (back&power), hboot (vol down&power), or master reset (home&back+power),
and the only thing that is different than your 1st boot screen is when you press trackball+power - blue led turns on, then you are semi bricked.
and you will have to wait for solution, because, there is no solution yet, but will be, very soon...
well i have access to FASTBOOT mode but i can't flash any files through the fastboot commands i get Failed(remote : not allow) and that's because i'm not root anymore and to be root i need to access the recovery mode which i don't have.. so i'm in so many ways stuck ..

That is not because your not root... thats because you have a perfected SPL...

Tell us what the Fastboot screen says. Everything. Anyway, as long as you have access to fastboot and a hackable SPL you should be okay.
well what i got on the fastboot mode is

HBOOT-1.33.0006 (sapp10000)

Radio-2.22.19.261
may 27 2009
i've tried today one of the NBH file on the forum after i created another goldcard and guess what it started installing till it stopped at a very strange part while installing system with an error (partition update fail)
so i tried to look it up but i couldn't find anything useful.
it's almost a week and i'm trying everyday, i've searched and searched and now it comes to this when i'm just one step to finish this nightmare
i'm not going to the service center with my tale between my legs
if someone knows something .. now would be a very good time
@shahwan: Well, that's weird! Have you, by any chance, messed around and flashed a 32B radio? Anyway, you could try this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218 to get an engineerings SPL and then flash another radio (3.22 maybe?) from fastboot.
@misiobot: Remove the battery, put it back, press and hold Volume Down and then press Power. Does this take you to fastboot? If not, what does your screen show? Please give us as many details as possible, we can't guess what the problem is.
well actually it takes me to fastboot mode normally but if i try the fastboot commands to flash anything i get the famous error (remote .. failed)
so it was useless that's why i had to flash the phone with a NBH file and that was my only solution till i got the error (partition update fail) when it tried to install the system, which means that it wasn't successful of course
i even tried another Sd card becaue the one i was using was only 1GB and to create the freaken gold card i had to put the SD card in another functioning phone
I have exactly the same problem as you, I can boot to both HBoot and Fastboot, but I cant flash anything by using fastboot, not even erase the system (remote: not allow) is what I've got, could anyone help on this ?
Either run a RUU or apply a SAPPIMG.zip

Recovery problems with 1.33.0004 (Blank screen - black screen)

Hello and sorry for my bad english.
I was using an HTC magic 32B before getting my nexus one.
Recently I decided to give the magic to my girlfriend to remplace her old nokia.
My magic was on custom rom (Super D 1.8) but, when I want to do a hard reset, the phone just reboot.
So I tried to go to the recovery (amon ra custom recovery) to wipe or change the rom to a most recent.
And, instead of having the recovery i have a black screen, juste have to reboot the by pulling out the battery.
Also, when the phone boot i've first the "SFR" logo and then, instead of the bootimage i've only an black screen, juste the time of the bootimage, after that, i juste have to presse the menu button to wake up the device.
I don't understand what it happens bescause before getting my N1 it was working fine...
Juste see on a video i've done, a part of second before pin code asking, there is the "android" displaying...
I can't post the video cause i'm new membre
I hope someone here avec an answer !
Thanks to all the XDA comunity

Kind of a strange problem.
Does the phone boot up still?
Did you try reflashing your recovery image? (flash_image recovery recovery.img)
if not
can you get into fastboot?
if so then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img from the command prompt of your pc.
Good luck.
Hello,
thanks for you answer.
I've tried to flash the recovery but didn't works.
I don't try the fastboot mod but I don't have the phone with me for the moment.
I'll try ASAP.
video : youtube.com/watch?v=RJmXjV8E4jw
edit : ok I asked to my girlfriend to try, fastboot works.

Then we have a shot.
Procedure
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 [enter]
Check your phone's display, as recovery is being sent and flashed to your device.
Check your command prompt/shell to make sure the process is over.

Okay... I think that you need the Engineering SPL because right now you should see SHIP S-ON G on your screen. That means it's the standard SPL. To modify anything you need the Engineering SPL. In this case I think you need 2004 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019 but to do that you may need to create a goldcard.
So just to verify with you, you cannot boot up your phone at all and you cannot access recovery? What do you get when you connect it to your computer, boot it up and type adb devices in the command prompt?
Also try starting the phone while holding MENU. This sometimes helps.
Thanks for your answer, i don't have the phone in my hands now, i'll ask to my girlfriend to boot it with home.
Adb devices didn't recognize my device.
edit : booting with home holding down bring me à black screen, certainly the "invisible" recovery.

There is no such thing as an invisible recovery.
It is possible that your recovery was deleted or corrupted.
If you did have a recovery you would still be able to access the device through adb. All you would need to do is place Amon_Ra recovery.img (G) onto your sdcard with another phone or adapter, place it into your damaged device and boot it into your "invisible recovery" and use adb shell devices in command prompt. If you do have a recovery image installed (but no text) you should see your device. If not then you will probably have to start over with the goldcard. If it does detect your device then all you need to do is mount /sdcardflash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img (or whatever it's called)
Okay thanks, I'll try this ASAP.
I could put the recovery on the SD directly from the phone, right ?
Cause the phone could boot, just that I can't see recovery, do an hard reset and see the bootimage.

Wait! What? If the phone boots then simply put the recovery file on your sdcard and run flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img from adb shell
-or-
from terminal on your phone
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
I'll try it,
how can i acces to the terminal of the phone ?

So you boot up your phone while holding the Home button and it gives you a plane black screen with absolutely NOTHING on it at all?
Hmmm... I would have to say that the next step is either:
Try a different recovery such as Clockwork
Start completely over with the Goldcard
Other than that... I really don't know.
This is exactly that, pressing home while phone is starting gives me a black screen with nothing on it.
I'll try another recovery and will see later for the goldcard.

Flashed the clockwork recovery and when trying to launch recovery it stuck on the SFR logo but normal boot still working
Edit : Using ROM Manager app it says that the clockwork recovery is installed...
Bump. I have no clue then man. I can't understand why all of a sudden you have nothing more than a blank (black) screen for recovery. The only thing left for you to try is the goldcard method. It will put your phone right back to the way that it was out of the box. Unrooted and everything. It'll be starting over from square one.
In fact, I rooted a friend Fender last night and I forgot how easy it was once you already had the goldcard. Simply:
place the card into the card slot,
reboot into bootloader,
press the back button and let it do it's thing.
Afterwards reboot the phone to bootloader again
go to fastboot mode and
fastboot flash radio radio.img,
fastboot flash hboot hboot.nb0,
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img.
Then power off the device.
Hold Home and power the device back on and Voila! You should have a recovery screen.
If that doesn't work... well... I would have to see it to believe it.
For details and links to create a goldcard just Google it. Easy to find.
Something I don't understand is that ROM Manager recognize my recovery ... so I've a recovery and it's realy invisible cause i've got this black screen ...

I have no idea about your error, but you can't flash recovery.img unless you have an engineering SPL (which you'd have to root to acquire).
Please boot your phone holding home and vol- and post what's displayed on the screen.

i had a similiar problem with yours. stuck in the recovery img and spl issue. my actual statu is a rooted phone with a cutom recovery img but with the original spl and radio(about to change those too).
this is how i did:
as far as i've learned, u dont need to flash your spl in order to flash your recovery.
i intalled FlashRec.apk and then installed RA recovery img from it. there a video on youtube called how to root your magic in one click. try that!
goodluck!
Looks like you have a Rogers Magic, correct?
You have S-ON (security on) so you can't flash anything useful from fastboot.
I use a 32B device, so hopefully a fellow Rogers user can help you :-/

I tried to use that way, but that backup device''error flaied image invalid"I think I deleted the original recovery of the phone and now my phone is not in recovery mode again, no way to recover it?
if you follow the way of''recovery''Amon_RA img instead only image recovery platforms, the need of the SDK is not it? I think I have not installed successfully because when you type the command ADB ADB device only shows up on MSDOS''attached''List of devices without the S / N of my phone

Just because the backup failed, doesn't mean your recovery is gone. Use home+power and tell us if it's still there.
"adb devices" will show the serial number of all attatched devices, you have it set up correctly. However you can not use adb or fastboot to root your device.

because I used the command "erase fastboot recovery" so I think I deleted the original recovery of the phone away and then, when I press home and power it boots up the words "HTC Magic" and stop there

Oh, and flashrec did that? As in, it removed recovery but couldn't flash a new one?
That's a *****, you could try another root method like universal androot to get to flash the custom recovery image.

Root Problem

Hello. Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong section. But I've been trying to root the damned phone for 2 days. I got a problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking
It's about this article. I have downloaded the SDK.zip for android and have extracted it into C;\AndroidSDK
I have also added the " ;C:\AndroidSDK\tools\ " thingie where it says.
I connect my HTC Magic, select mount for SD, then I'm going to Command Prompt and type adb devices. After that it says that adb is not recognizes as blah blah blah.
What am I doing wrong? I'm trying to install Android 2.1 and I can't root it. :<
When you open the command prompt, try typing "cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools" then run "adb devices".
Oh thanks! It now displays my device's serial number. After that I type fastboot devices
Then I download Amon_RA's recovery file but I don't know what to download from his link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
What's your fastboot information? Hold back+power to turn on the device and post EVERYTHING from there.

Do what DonJuan692006 tells in the next post :0)
You've got a perfected SPL so your not going to be able to just do the "fastboot flash recovery blah.zip" command. Your going to have to go a different route. Do steps 1-5 and 7. At step 5, your going to use this one: "adb push C:\roottools\6.35Radio\Recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard" since you have the 6.35 radio. You don't want to mess with your SPL until you get further guidance on here and do some extensive research on the benefits/risks involved. Pay very close attention to what he says.
Well, I created a goldcard and typed fastboot boot recovery-rom.img and it displays a list full of commands. Now what? 8D
The phone displays a list of commands or the command prompt does?
The command prompt does. Also, I have downloaded Cyanogen 6.1 stable( saw it both from the article and your sig ). Now I got to install it, right?
No, you've got to get a custom recovery installed first. You can use the goldcard to flash an engineering SPL so that you can do so from fastboot, but that's the dangerous way. The easy way to get CM 6.1 installed is to follow my suggestion from post #7.
The fastboot boot recovery-rom.img doesn't work. It says remote: not allow
Your killing me. No fastboot commands are going to work since you have a perfected SPL. Stop being hard headed and follow the guide I pointed you to. It'll take 10 minutes and you'll be rooted. Then we'll start getting CM 6.1 installed.
How do I copy the contents of RootTools? o.0 I can;t find it in ym SD card
You don't need to copy them, you just need to extract them to your computer.
Well, how do I find the RootTools folder? :O
Depends where you saved it to when you downloaded it. You have to download it from one of the links at the bottom of the first post in that guide.
Ok, I installed the app and now Im a super user. Now what?
Did you do steps 5 and 7 to get the custom recovery installed? If you know how to use Google talk, add me on there: [email protected]
Yes. I did 5 and 7. I'm at 8. System restarted.... it says: formatting cache:...

You can´t use fastboot unless you get S-OFF. In order to get it you should flash an Engineering SPL. Try this one:
https://rs602dt.rapidshare.com/#!do...ed.zip|189|R~F2574604F09E1923BC58D9AD240AE64D
You need a working recovery to flash this zip. Can you access it? (Turn ON the phone with the combo "Power+Home".

You need to put that Engineering SPL in the root of your sd card and flash it in the recovery. But you need a working recovery installed. You can't flash anything right now with fastboot. Just make this clear: Does your phone boot into the system? Can you access fastboot mode or Hboot mode?
Access the Hboot or Fastboot
The HBOOT screen has a white background with text/lettering of a variety of colors; you start the HBOOT boot from a power-off state by pressing and holding both Vol-Down and End/Power until the screen lights up. You will know it is the HBOOT when see 3 (green) skateboarding Droids
The FASTBOOT screen also has a white background with text/lettering of a variety of colors; you start the FASTBOOT boot from a power-off state by pressing and holding both Send and End/Power until the screen lights up.

What about the recovery?? Can you access it? And can you enter into the system? It's really important. The thing is, if you can't access recovery you need to enter into the system (Android OS) and flash a new one with ADB. If you can't access any of this, you need to run a RUU in order to restore your system. If you don't provide all the information you can't get helped.
try this adb commands
you have a semi-bricked phone
The "remote not allowed" means the SPL is perfected. Perfected means that it's "Locked" or S=ON
Try ADB first, otherwise if it does not work
You have to make a gold card:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/14/how-to-root-your-mytouch-3g/
Once you have a gold card then you download a new SPL and put it onto the card (read instructions from there):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4332591
Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010
Once you have an Engineering (prefered) or non-perfected SPL you'll be able to flash what you need without the 'remote not allowed' message.
