My HTC Magic Stuck in RUU Screen after failed ROM upgrade

Applied the latest Rogers ROM...what a bad move...
Now my HTC Magic got stuck in RUU screen showing the following:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A SHIP S-OFF H

RUU
I tried many ways to get rid of this screen but didn't work.
My phone original has the rogers 2.17.631.2 build, and I did a bad move to upgrade to Android 1.5.=( The RUU process flashed my HBOOT and RADIO, but as soon as it starts the "system" steps, the screen shows unzipping for over an hour and eventually failed. Now my phone will start up with the above screen only!! i can't get myphone startup in recovery mode or fastboot mode.
I tried re-run the RUU porgram on my PC and the tool still shows i have the old anroid build. Hence i know that i now have NEW HBOOT and RADIO but still the old Android build.
Is there a way for me to get out of this RUU screen? Any help is appreciated.
Is the security off (S-OFF) allows me to downgrade the SPL? If so, how can i do that given i can only boot my HTC Magic in this screen only.
One more side note, fastboot can detect the phone.
Urgently need help! Appreciated.

If you have constant security S-OFF, it accepts all ROMs and HBoot and RUU. Probably you have engineering Magic (not Hboot, the whole device)
1. Try this...
If fastboot can detect phone, so try flash Amon_RA Hero recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(recovery.img or other filename must be in folder with fastboot.exe)
Then start into recovery (Home + Power) and flash CursorSense
If you need original ROM (without root), so search forum for it
(it has been posted already). Just get rom1.zip (system.img, userdata.img and more...) and flash it (Saying again: official doesn't contain root)
2. Or try run another RUU

but the fastboot method requires engineering SPL, but my phone was upgraded to the perfected SPL. Shall I try the RA_Hero or RA_Sapphire ?

Yes, common fastboot required to be engineering. But you have S-OFF now, so no checks.
use RA_Hero, cause you have radio 6.35.X.X

Tried flashing the recovery.img (RA_Hero) but failed.
i typed fastboot flash recovery recovery.img [ renamed the file to recovery.img] but got the error...
sending 'recovery' <3362 KB>... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... FAILED <remote: image type not support>
Just to clarify more, the screen only shows "RUU USB" not "FASTBOOT" although fastboot can see my device... could that be the reason why it failed?
According to your 2nd suggestion, where can i find other RUU and how do i know which is the proper one?

the rogers ROM is not working right. Too many crashes and so on .. so try this one
RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
You can download it from HTC main site ...
Also, you have to keep in mind that you can RUU as many as you want. So do the procedure again and keep us posted if it's working. If not send me a PM and i'll resolve it step by step.
best of luck !

I have one Magic and it show in Bootloader :
PVT 32 S-OFF
1.76.0007 (SAPP*****).
Why the SAPP is SAPP*****? Is there something wrong?
Also, the device detected by fastboot is 1234567890... , not like other HTC Magic.
Now I get stuck with RUU Flash at 81% (Hong Kong RUU). --> When the device start to update system STEP. So the Magic now just show RUU, can connect by Fastboot but when use fastboot flash system or recovery, only can send to phone and write error.
Anybody help me to solve this?

I do have the same problem with my RUU flash with the new Rogers RUU. Stuck at 81% when device starts updating at step[4] "system". Phone will show "unzipping" for over an hour and eventually failed with error code [155].
I tried the RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_ NoDriver.exe but still the same problem. Can anyone help here?

Did more investigation, and seems like both RUU ROMs i tried might not match the CID, hence the system ROM updating failed.
Now the question is, i am stuck in RUU and cannot use adb to check my CID now. How can i manually update the system ROM given i am in RUU mode only?
How can i manually update the HBOOT and RADIO if i am stuck in RUU screen? If the RUU program can automate the process in one click, is there program to allow me to update each individually? Note that i cannot get into fastboot mode.
Any advice? Thanks!

I had a 32B G2,it was brikked at the first time when I ruu flash the rom(Sense official). G2 couldn't received any RUU rom.it would stop at 22%.
Today,when I ruu flash the rom（HTC_Europe_3.04.401.2）,I also found it stop at 81%.
SPL is updated to 1.76.0008 from 1.76.0007.
It seems much better than before. But it still could not accept the cmd "adb shell"
Hoping somebody could help us.

I used the following RUU after upgrading to sense RUU stopped at 81%
hxxp://suntharee.com/android/RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Asia_WWE_2.53.707.2_SEA_test_sign ed_NoDriver.exe
Here is another link, its the first RUU in this post:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548096
You will end up with an ENG SPL that allows you to flash what ever you want then.
I manually updated Radio and SPL and now using CursorSense ROM.
Obviously replace the "hxxp" with "http". Hope it helps at least some of you like it did for me.

I tried but already got stuck in the first step of unzipping system.img. Looks like this RUU will upgrade system first before HBOOT and RADIO, hence i am still stuck with Perfected SPL.
Given that my phone has security off (SOFF), is there way to downgrade my HBOOT?

I had the same problem when HK SenseUI appeared and I managed to pass the RUU screen with a gold-card. You will find tutorials in this forum.
Good luck!

Were you upgraded to the latest perfected SPL when the same problem happens? I had my goldcard configured properly, but everytime i run RUU, the process hang at 81%, which is the time when unzipping system.img happens.
I understanding the latest SPL is still yet hard to crack, but will my phone being S=OFF, can have some ways to get the system check bypassed?
Thanks!

Hi. I have the some problem. My magic stops at 81% (system - unzipping), or when i try with another RUU_.exe stops at 22% (system - unzipping).

Confusion of 32A or 32B while rooting HTC Magic

Dear users,
I wanted to root HTC Magic with the following helpful tutorial.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how-to-root-the-htc-magic-in-one-click/
However, I faced a problem about the motherboard version. When I check the motherboard version as tutorial suggested, I saw that it is 32B. However, Recovery Flasher app claims that it is EBI1/32A and it does not allow to flash the recovery image of 32B.
On the other hand, when I checked /proc/meminfo file, it says that
MemTotal: 99708 kB
MemFree: 12068 kB
which is 32B as suggested by Amon_Ra
So, I am confused. Could you please tell me which recovery image should I use? A small background information, I bricked the phone before with rooting procedure by the same reason and gave it back and got it refurbished. So, I am not sure but the motherboard information recorded somewhere else may mislead the Recovery Flasher application.
Thank you,
Omer

Which version of the recovery you should use is dictated by the version of your radio, not motherboard.
2.xx.xx.xx - G version
3.22.xx.xx - H version
hope it helps!

Thank you for the reply. I checked the radio version and it was 3.22.xx.xx. So, I tried the HTC version. However; The recovery manager didn't let me flash with this image. I think, I have the same situation as this post has
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=680793
But, I didn't yet root my device.
Thank you,
Omer

What exactly spl do you have?
Turn off, then turn on by pressing Back + Power, post first 5 strings.
If you have 1.33.2010 S-OFF you can revert back to radio 2.22.XX.XX

This is the 5 lines.

Since you have s-off already, just download 1.33.2005 SPL and do
fastboot flash hboot 1.33.2005
and
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Wrong forum by the way dude

But before flashing SPL, shouldn't I flash radio? Sorry to ask newbie questions but I am really lost and I don't want to brick the device.
By the way, My device is HTC Sapphire aka HTC Magic. That's why; I wrote in here. Is it wrong?
Thanks.

You have 2 methods to restore 32B radio and hboot and get ability to flash 32B-roms
Method 1.
As you wrote - you have S-OFF, so fastboot commands are allowed
You can simply run
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader
where:

Unpack it from archive

Important: flash radio then hboot. Don't reboot after flashing only radio.
Method 2. You can use rom.nbh from official update for 32B Magics:
create goldcard
unpack rom.nbh and rename to sappimg.nbh, copy it to goldcard
flash in hboot-mode (VolumeDown + Power)
You will get 1.33.0007 perfected SPL, so you must root device next
But one thing... you have S-OFF - may be you have engineering device - so you can use fastboot commans always - it makes flash-process very easy)

5 thank you for the instructions. This is what i was looking for. If any other experienced user confirms it might work, i would like to take the risks and do the instructions then share the results.
Experienced users, what do you think?

S-OFF - it is hboot without security. It means, that everyone can use fastboot commands without any warnings.
Magics have S-OFF, if it developer or engineering device OR if hboot patched by someone
There are some patched (engineering) hboots for Magics, but not for [MT3G 1.2]
In manual to root patched hboot is using, but if you stay with it - touchscreen does not work. Don't know why.

Thanks 5. I believe I'm good now, just have to be patient and await the arrival of new ROMS for my MT3G 1.2
Appreciate all your assistance in helping understand better about my phone.

Trouble Rooting Mytouch 1.2

Hello,
I'm not an expert at modding and hacking but I can definately follow directions. I used a G1 for about a year and flashed it plenty of times with different roms, radios, and spls. I ended up getting a MyTouch 1.2 and proceeded to try to root it so that I can enjoy CM's great roms.
Followed the directions on the unlockr
Made the gold card and went to flash the sappimg.img from the site. The flash went through fine but the phone just got stuck at the HTC Magic screen. Now I know what my mistake was there. I didn't think it was a big deal and continued with the steps. Mainly because I didn't see any infomation on what to do if it doesn't go through. Flashed the radio, then went to the hboot. Received image update failed error message. Long story short, I experienced what having a brick feels like.
The reason I am explaining all of this is for people to learn from my mistakes and to get some clarification on what I am writing next.
I got the phone exchanged (only had it for a day) and began researching more to find out what I did wrong. I found this crypysmoker's thread.
And then I found the message:
READ READ READ. DO NOT download the SAPPimg.zip file it says on that page.
Get the top fixed SPL file 2010 from here
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In my research, I discovered that the mytouch 1.2 has several spl's that have been hacked and not. I figured out that the file on theunlockr wasn't the fixed spl and that is mainly the reason for my brick and the frozen HTC Magic screen.
I want to enjoy the gifts that CM has to offer. Being stuck on normal 1.6 is well saddening to say the least. But I am worried about flashing the wrong spl and have the situation repeat again as I would figure I would be screwed this time around and wouldn't be able to get it replaced.
Can anyone provide more information about this? Can I flash the Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010 and not run into the same problem? I understand that there isn't a 100% certainty of working. Most of my searches show that more people have bricked this phone than any other.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the length.

Well, I did it all again. Redownloaded all the files. Setup a new goldcard. This time I let it sit for over 45 mins. Never got past the HTC Magic Screen. Adb doesn't see it nor does the light come on to say that it is charging. Which would show me that it has indeed locked up.
Anyways it shut off on its own since it wasn't getting usb power and I guess the battery died. I'm still able to reboot back to hboot. I attempted to reflash the sappimg.zip file. Right now its going on 10 mins sitting on the

I tried reformatting the SD and recreated the Gold Card as I noticed some of the Hex changed but still getting the same issue.

the phone won't run anything other than spl 1.33.0013 and radio 2.22.23....w/e x)
Get the sappimg you had before and flash it in hboot mode which should give you spl 1.33.0013. In fastboot mode, flash your spl to 1.33.2010again, then flash radio 2.22.23 or w/e, then flash amon ra recovery, then flash stock spl (1.33.0013).
All the files you need are here: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/
The reason it wont boot up is because you have engineering spl and the wrong radio on. Again, it will only boot up with the stock radio and spl~!!!

I don't know where I would find the original stock sappimg. The one that is on the website is the sappimg that needs to go on when you are stock at the beginning.
Also my HBoot doesn't seem to be unzipping cause that is where it gets stuck. Is there a way to do it all from fastboot? Since I am currently stuck in the 2010 spl, can I flash the stock spl through fastboot without the radio?
I just don't get why I am having this problem. I followed that website to the letter. And I know that at this point if I attempt to flash the radio back to stock, I will completely brick it.

Since you dont want to flash the radio, flash the amon ra recovery FIRST. Then flash the stock spl. If it doesn't boot up, then you'll need to get the engineering spl back on again and flash stock radio (the one in the link).

I couldn't flash the recovery in fastboot.
Tried Fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
Got an error message Recovery not found.
Wasn't sure if I wanted to try flashing the recovery before finding out if it can brick it. Like the original post says, my first MT1.2 I flash the spl from unlockr screen locked up but could get into fastboot so flashed the radio and then tried the spl like the directions say and I completely bricked it.
I don't want to make the same mistake twice.

Unfortunately, there's a chance of bricking every time you flash anything.
Anyways, this might be redundant but is the recovery imaged named recovery.img? Like you actually renamed it? If not, you'll have to type out the exact name.

No it wasn't named recovery.img, was just using it to save time. I did spell out the recovery's full name.

When you enter the command "fastboot devices" it shows a serial number right? And the recovery image is in your tools folder of your androidsdk folder?
Sorry for the redundant questions, we're just going back to the basics really quick right now.

yup and yup

I see the problem. Your mobo is recognized as 32a S off H. You're recovery image is probably the G version. What you could do is download the H version and flash it although i doubt your phone will still boot up at that point.
You could try flashing the H version of amon ra's recovery image and afterwards, see if it boots up. Then, if it doesnt boot up, flash stock spl (1.33.0013) and see if it boots up.
I'm pretty sure your phone will end up not booting up and you'll eventually have to flash stock radio as well and then flash the G version recovery back on.
The reason your mobo is recognized as the H version and not the G version is because of the radio.
EDIT: I just realized I made a mistake. I meant to say the mobo is recognized as the H version because of the SPL, not the radio.

Heres your problem. If recovery is not found then you didnt put it in your Androidsdk\tools folder did you? or did you rename it? Oooorr, you put it in there while adb was running and didnt restart it to see the file itself

I can tell that the radio is still the old one. It seems the spl worked and put it back to stock but still no recovery and I guess I can't fastboot anything either.
So I assume I need to flash back eng spl and see if it will boot, right?

Even as the recovery and spl are compatible, you see that it still won't boot up. What you gotta do now is flash the engineering spl and do the same as before except flash the radio as well.
In the end, your mytouch should read:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-2.22.23.02
The same as stock before EXCEPT this time, you'll have amon ra's recovery. That's when you know you're done. Just follow the guide from before and you'll be fine.

Solved
I would like to start out by saying, Thank you so much hacker01 for your help! You don't know how much I appreciate everything.
I was able to get it back working and fully running CM5.0.7
After I reloaded the eng spl, like I said, I was running into the same problems. Wouldn't boot, goes into fastboot, etc.
I grabbed the stock radio and spl NOT from the unlockr page this time but from the link on crypysmoker's thread.

Just like it said and sure enough got into recovery! Flashed a rom and it booted up.
I know this technically isn't solved cause I really don't know what went wrong in the first place. I can ensure you that I can follow directions and did. The only thing that makes any sense is the files on theunlockr's website is bad. Guess we can just chalk it up to bad luck.
But if anyone wants to root their mytouch 1.2, crypysmoker's thread is definitely the way to go.
Thank you again hacker01! I hope I can pay it forward.

You did it right, it's just that any radio that is not 2.22.23 won't work with the mt3g 1.2/Fender LE right now. And no problem! Glad you got it up and running. Enjoy your mytouch

Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

Please, help!
I have the exact same problem: I was following the Unlockr's instructions, made the goldcard, flashed the sappimg without getting any errors, and now the phone is stuck on the htc magic boot screen. I am not experienced and now I am scared sh**less, because the phone belongs to my girlfriend Please, give me step-by-step instructions how to fix it, because I really dont want to improvise. The phone is MyTouch 1.2...

As you can see above I have the engineering SPL but I am unable to flash via fastboot gives me the not verified error. I previously was stuck in a reboot loop which I finally got out by creating a goldcard and using 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip. I am able to use the phone but thats about it. There is no access to sd card I have tried numerous cards and they don't work.
From Inside the Phone:
-------------------------------

---------------------------------
I would like to thank anyone in advance for their help. I have searched and been searching the forums for 2 days non-stop usually its stated that you need an Engineering SPL (which I guess I am already using) can't downgrade because I have no access to sdcard either. Please help........

Try going here and grabbing the sappimg from there, load it onto your goldcard, and flash it from hboot the same way you did the first time. There's another guy I was working with on here that tried to use the same engineering SPL and it didn't work, but I don't know if he ever tried that one. The sappimg I'm referring you too is the same one I used when I rooted my phone. Give it a shot and let us know back here.

another reason it might not be working is becuz your doing 'fastboot flash flash"
which if correct it should be 'fastboot flash hboot'

Sorry wasn't around. Thank you for responding.
Your right I was not using HBOOT but it didn't make a difference I still get the verification error using fastboot.
As you suggested I should try updating using recovery but like I said the SDcard is not detected. I used the "fastboot -c board_sapphire.disable_sdcard=0 boot recovery...*" and it detected the sd card when I try to update the using the zip file it gets stuck at Opening update package....
Any other options?

[Q] Can i unbrick my magic 32a?

i think i brick my phone...how when i power on,it only keeps on boot into htc magic...so is there any think i can do or?

Please can you provide more info.
It's like going to the doctor and saying the you feel pain and nothing else!
Do you have fastboot access?
Do you have recovery access?
What did you do before you phone went dead?
What model, radio,spl and rom do you have?

my phone is...
HTC magic 32a s-on
hboot 1.76.0007
radio 6.35.07.29
its because of the perfected spl right?

From what I can see,with my limited experience, either you left out a part after "s-on", or your phone thinks its neither HTC nor google.
It should say S-ON H
And I dont think that 0007 is perfected.
But I'm a noob and would wait for mumilover to respond...

Recovery and system, maybe - but not fastboot.

Similar Issue
Hey Guys and Girls,
This is my first time posting on this site. I have run into a similar issue and have attempted to post on numerous sites without having any luck solving the problem.
The quick version: I ran z4root to root my phone; it said successful. I then installed Rom Manager and switched my recovery to Clockwork (the most recent one). Next I downloaded the latest CM6 from the Rom Manager with GApps. After having unsuccessful attempts at backing up and wiping first, I decided to try installing the Rom without backing up or wiping data. The Rom install worked this time (I got installation successful). However, when the phone rebooted itself, it never got past the Rogers screen. It is now in a constant state of rebooting until I pull the battery.
I can get to fastboot, but cannot get to the recovery screen. My HTC Magic 32A specs from the fastboot menu are:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.0010 (SAP50000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.16.19
Some other info that may help:
-my PC recognizes my phone (I have been trying the Radio Switcher v.GUI 4.1 and it says the phone is connected) but it is not allowing me to flash anything.
-When I try "adb devices" it gives error: no device attached but "fastboot devices" gives me a number.
-I have tried putting "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H" on my sdcard, but the HBoot says no image or wrong image
-The Radio Switcher v.GUI 4.1 says my phone is not rooted
-I tried the goldcard method of rooting, but because I can't get the phone to recognize the sdcard, I can't get a proper CID for the goldcard creator
Hopefully I've provided enough info to get some help. I am waiting patiently, but am starting to get sick of the old Sony Ericsson Anything helps!

You have to make a goldcard... if you can't make it using your device, then do it using any other android device.
When you have made the goldcard come back here, and i'll guide through the rest :0)

Done. I made a gold card previously...hopefully it still works. Once it's made into a goldcard, is it always a goldcard?

Actually... re-checking your info - you don't need a goldcard..
No need for sdcard either...
Download this sappimg.zip :
http://rapidshare.com/files/437924840/sappimg.zip
Then run this command from a command prompt:
Code:
fastboot flash zip sappimg.zip
Make sure that the sappimg.img is in the same folder as fastboot.exe
The sappimg.zip is the newest rogers update... the same version as you currently have...
No need for goldcard or anything :0)
if you get any troubles, then post here the outcome of the command prompt..
When all is done, you should be back on stock 2.1...
From there you follow my guide (check my signature) to root and get custom recovery.
Good luck

hi guys,

i have my first goldcard.
this forum is my last hope... if anyone know how to proced, help me pls

I had the same problem as a few of you and after trying everything I eventually decided to try installing SAPPIMG.zip from hboot and it worked fine. Took me a while to find the correct SAPPIMG but you should be able to find it on the forums here. You have to put the SAPPIMG.zip on the root of your SD card from your computer, put it in the phone, boot into fastboot and go into hboot and it'll load the SAPPIMG file. If you have the wrong SAPPIMG it'll usually give you an error when trying to install it'll say someting like update failed or wrong device ID. It took me about 4-5 different SAPPIMG to find the correct one for my phone.

Hmm... try this:

The above will set the device into RUU mode.
Then download the official rogers RUU..
Run it and it should install just fine... no need for goldcard or sdcard..
I hope this will work.
