MyTouch 3g 32b Can't access bootloader - myTouch 3G, Magic General

So I have been trying all night to flash my buddy's MyTouch 3g to Cyanogenmod 6 and have run into several issues.
1. Created golddisk and updated the bootloader
2. Flashed radio (fastboot)
3. Flashed hboot (fastboot)
4. Flashed Clockwork recovery (fastboot)
I have been able to access Clockwork and install CM 6, and google apps. After all of this, the splash sreen hangs and never loads the ROM. For some reason, I decided to update the radio again to the radio img I downloaded from Cyanogen. After radio flash the hanging splash screen happens again. So I remove the battery and try to enter the bootloader (vol down+power) and it goes staight to the splash screen. Tried to enter recovery rom, same thing. The only thing that works is trackball+power to get the blue LED. HELP!!! I would prefer not to buy him another phone. (THIS WOULD BE THE THIRD PHONE I HAVE LOADED WITH CM6. NEXUS ONE, SPRINT HERO CDMA BEING THE OTHER TWO.)

Provide this info:
All fastboot info. ALL of it.
Run this command and post the output:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
When ALL info is provided we can help you!

How can I get that information without access to the bootloader where the Comand Prompt can access fastboot?

My mistake :0)

i have ran into the same problem
this happened to me because i basically tried downgrading the radio with the one of the cyanogen website
now my phone is bricked cannot access fastboot ,
have tried this method ?
i am about to try it see if it works
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656798

hmm..
i feel like the goldcard method is last years root method, although i know nothing of it, i just remember it having to many steps. theunlockr.com has the way i rooted and its never done me wrong as far trouble shooting.

[FIXED!] HTC Magic need help! phone bricked?

Hey guys
I'm so desperate and you are my last hope. I was looking for hours in several forums but didn't find any solution.
What I did:
I updated the phone to 6.35 Radio and 1.76.2007 SPL and installed a Eclair ROM. Everything went well until I installed ROM Manager app. Then I installed Cyanogen mod through ROM Manager and since then nothing works!
What's the problem:
When I switch phone on it sticks on the HTC boot screen and nothing happens.
I can go to fastboot mode but ADB doesn't recognize my phone.
I also can go to recovery mode and ADB sees the device but I cannot install any image and I cannot choose any item from the menu.
What I tried:
connect with fastboot usb: phone isn't recognized
flash via fastboot in recovery mode: <waiting for device> no response.
Install a sappimg.nbh from sdcard: Fail! main version is older.
My version:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G (why G??? isn't that the 32B version?)
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP10000)
RADIO-6.35.10.18
Thank you very much for your help!
LOL, I almost started cracking up. "Help me, you are my only hope" (Star Wars)
Anyhow.
Start over. Download the stock Rom, radio and spl for your MT3G. I ran into something similar with mine. I had to erase system from the CLI (command line) fastboot and wipe the phone. Then used the stock sappimg.img to get mine functioning again.
This will "Unroot" your phone
I had to plug the phone in via usb. Go to terminal or dos, and fastboot.
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
from there I turned the phone off, and then I copied sappimg.img to the memcard, and then booted using the vol down + power and let it install the factory rom, radio, spl and recovery.
Or you also stated that you have yours rooted. You're going to have to download the original radio, and rename it to radio.img and then flash it over using fastboot. (fastboot flash radio radio.img). This would get you to the original radio. Then I would revert back to the original ROM w/root ROM.
This worked for me. Im hoping that someone else will chime in and say if this is the correct method to use. Im not an expert. I did this at my own risk.
Someone else want to chime in?
Thanks for your help!
I wasn't conscious that I cited a Star Wars quotation :-D
First I tried to follow your steps but without succes. When I run "fastboot erase system -w" it says: remote not allow. It seems my phone isn't rooted anymore.
Also the command "fastboot flash radio radio.img" doesn't work.
Where can I get the stock ROM? Is there a possibility to extract these files from the RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_NoDriver.exe tool?
Nevertheless I keep going on although I'm a little bit tired of this issue. However, it's my mistake.
The reason why I wanted to flash my device was because I was sick of this old, boring and lame Android 1.5. Why isn't HTC getting ahead and supplies us more up to date software? An ambitious single programmer is able to provide Android 2.1 but HTC with its high-paid engineer team isn't. That's weird!
It looks like you have to put on one of the engineering SPL's first in-order to wipe the device. By the way, mine is a 32A board, and has "G" also. Weird I know.
I believe the RUU ROMS are stock. So flashing these to the phone should unroot your phone. There is a list of all the RUU ROMS and guides here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=659403
or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682243
These are great sources of information. I'm not an absolute expert, more of a novice. I'm new to the AC but, reading guides and such, you should get your answer and you can try a few things (within reason).
BTW, when you said that fastboot flash radio radio.img doesn't work, have you downloaded the stock radio and spl and copied them to the AndroidSDK\Tools folder? That's probably the reason it isn't working. You have to have the SDK downloaded and installed. (Read The Guides provided to help you) "Use the Force!" HAHA!
So I tried many different ways to save my htc. But by now no success!
As I described I can go into fastboot but I cannot run any commands (remote not allow). I haven't root anymore!
When I go to recovery mode it sticks. I cannot choose any item from the menu.
The only way to get the phone working is via the sdcard. It's possible to install a sappimg.zip but it says: "Fail! Main version is older!" So i have no chance to downgrade. I need a sappimg that has a higher version than my current one.
Also rooting seems not to be possible due to I have to access recovery mode (which isn't working).
Finally, the only way I see at the moment is trying some stuff that works only via the sdcard.
Thank you guys
If you are getting that sort of error that indicates that you have not created a correct goldcard. You need to have that in order to flash these devices.
Go to theunlockr.com and read that tutorial about how to create one. Or click here:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
Are you really sure that`s because of a wrong goldcard? I´ve tried 2 different sdcards several times but every time with the same error (Main version is odler).
No further ideas?
I can't do anything. recovery mode always crashes, no root access, goldcard doesn't work.
Finally I'm back on Android!
I could solve my problem. I found a sappimg.zip (http://rapidshare.com/files/266290371/sappimg.zip) that turned my phone to:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP10000)
RADIO-6.35.10.18
After that, I was able to flash trough the _HTC Magic_RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_2.20.401.2_HTC_CH_release_signed_NoDriver.exe.
Now I'm running on a stock ROM

Knackered my gf's magic - need some help!

Hi all,
I've been trying to install the amon RA recovery rom on mg gf's magic, but I'm stuck in a loop.
I've got a non perfect SPL loaded which boots into cupcake
Sapphire PVT 32B Ship S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-3.22.20.17
However when I try to run fastboot boot recovery.img it restarts and gets stuck on the splash screen.
I've re-made the sd card to be a gold card and I've still got the issue.
I've also tried running fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and I get Infosignature checking... FAILED )remote : signature verify fail).
Can anyone help me sort this?
Many thanks
will
You're using a non-engineering SPL, so all fastboot commands will fail. 1.33.2005 has fastboot enabled and you should be able to flash it from your currect state, however I was on .26i radio when I flashed it so I don't know for certain.
EDIT: Since you're on cupcake you should be able to use flashrec to flash the recovery image, so not engineering SPL required!
Hi Adrian,
thanks so much for replying.
In the meantime I've tried another sappimg and this has taken me to 1.33.2010 which has let me fastboot flash recovery... but when I try to boot into recovery (hold home and restart) all i get is the htc magic spash screen
The other issue is that the rom ive now got is lacking the google tools and therefore market, so i cant get flashrec
Any thoughts?
thx
No problem about missing the market, do "adb install *Drag FlashRec APK here*", that will get it installed.
How long did you hold down home+power to get to recovery? The first time I did it after loading up Amon Ra's 1.7.0 it took me holding them for around 1.5-2 minutes before it finally booted in.
Hiya,
I waited about 5 mins or so
I've now got flashrec installed... looking for what to do next?
Here. Start at step 12 assuming you've already got a recovery image.
Hmm, just tried that and it flashes in an instant (too quick tbh!), so im wondering if this is because its already got the recovery on it from when i did it via fastboot
After restarting and holding home im still getting just the splash screen
Is there a way to view what is on the /recovery/ partition, or is there a reason its not wanting to boot into it?
thx
Which recovery image are you using?

I did tell him how to get one ;-P
Hopefully it won't come to that. I think he's loading the wrong recovery image.
recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img
Try re-downloading the recovery image from here and try flashing again. If it doesn't work I think your going to have to try going Adrian's route.
Better yet, you can get it from step 5 here for a quicker download.
Also, when you were in FlashRec running the "/sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img" command did you change recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img to match the filename of your recovery image?
I've just managed to update the recovery, but strangely this is using the 32A recovery.. and not 32B.. but I've got a vodafone Magic
So I can now get into recovery and have followed the steps or dangerSPL, followed by cyanogen mod + gapps, but not i cant get it to fully start up and im stuck on splash screen
V confused now.. just checked in hboot and its still showing sapphire pvt 32b eng s-off H
Hboot 1.76.2007
radio 3.22.20.17
looks like the gf's not having a mobile tomorow.. oh dear im in trouble!
any ideas again much appreciated!
thx
Can you run any fastboot commands?
Yes I can now run fastboot commands and use the recovery tool
thx
Hi all,
hope to get some more help, sorry!!
After looking more into this it seems that one of the previous images i put on the 32b phone was a 32a radio... hence the issue with putting on the recovery image for the 32b not working.
So... i downloaded myTouch-radio-2_22_23_02.zip and using the recovery did an update from zip.. now however the phone boots and all i get is a picture of a box with an arrow pointing to an android robot (see attached!)
At this rate its looking like i need to buy a new phone!
cheers all

[Q] MT3G 1.2 -the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly at startup

Hi,
I have a tmobile mytouch 3g 1.2 (3.5mm jack phone). I tried to root my phone and it failed during the SYSTEM---UnZipping process. (it stuck there forever). I then looked at options of unrooting it. When I apply SAPPIMG.zip it says Main Version Older! Update Fail!
Then I reboot the phone in recovery mode (tried to reset to factory settings and then reboot). The phone gives me the below error upon startup. The only thing i can see is an notification bar.
the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. "FORCE CLOSE"
Please can someone help me how to get my phone working? Appreciate all your help!
If you go to tmobile.com then go to there forum under android development you will see a topic called how to unroot the mytouch. In that topic they have a link for the original sappimg .. download to your zip cars in the root of the card (no folders) then just boot into hboot and apply the sappimg. I have done it many times so I know it works. Then when you go to root your just us the universal androot method. Feel few to pm me i
ent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
Type this in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
Then we can try to see if we can update it.
If not, you can always try to flash RUU.
The system starts, that's a good thing -> you have adb access!
Just don't go around and flash all kind of sapphire.nbh/zip...
Wait intil you have the right info :0)
I have had this problem and solved it. I would either get this acore stopped working error or just a loop in the boot screen. I think what caused this is there is not enough internal room for the ROM and gapps. Make sure you wipe everything. Do you have a nandroid backup? Can you get into recovery? Which recovery do you have installed? Do this, make a goldcard. Use fastboot to reroot the phone because you may have halfway unrooted it and made root useless. Boot into recovery and wipe. Install from sd any MyTouch ROM without Gapps. This should get you into the OS and now you can use other methods of getting your phone back. When I got here I used nandroid backup to get my phone back to a date it was when it worked and have had no problems since.

i did not take any nandroid backup ...i got into revovery boot...but whn i did the wipe clean option and reboot i get this error.
to make a gold card i would need to have the USB debugging enabled right? I am not able to go past the error screen (Home does not work, settings does not work )
and when i run the adb devices command, it does not display my devices. (But i have the number noted down when i tried to root the phone which failed...)
is there any other way to enable the USB Debugging as I am not able to open settings or even see anything on my phone...?
Would there be any option that's something like doing a System Restore to an earlier date on Windows OS on the computer?
please let me know the next steps...appreciate all of your help...

Yes...
You have the right radio/spl combo. That's good.
The problem is that your main version is set to high.
If you try to flash any RUU for the 1.2 magic, you will get main-version older error...
Even if you use a goldcard.
Do you still have access to adb?
Even for a little... then we can flash a custom recovery and get the system back.
Even if your system don't start up... as long you can boot more then 20 sec and you don't get reboots.
If not, then we have to flash a 32A sappimg.zip using a goldcard.
From there we flash custom recovery. Then eng spl. Then flash system,boot, userdata. Then flash the 1.2 spl... Then we are done :0)
So it's a long one... but first test if we have adb access.

[help needed]HTC magic PVT 32A: wrong radio (3.22.XX) and SPL (1.76.0008)

Here is how it happened. I flashed the radio to 3.22 and run a wrong RUU file (RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.1_test_signed_NoDriver.exe). The problem comes: after unsuccessfully flash the RUU file (as the radio in the RUU is 6.35), the security is turned ON (S-ON). Those RUU files with radio 3.22.XX have different version of SPL from 1.76.XXX. I cannot find a RUU file with SPL 1.76.008 and radio 3.22.XX. Therefore, I cannot use any RUU file to change the situation (I got a goldcard).
The security is turned on and I cannot change the radio, SPL or recovery in fastboot (cannot pass the infoSignature checking).
Now I still can access to fastboot (such as fastboot devices).
I don't know why I cannot use fastboot to boot a recovery (fastboot boot recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img). I was able to send the recovery img to the device. But the booting of recovery takes for ever.
I can only enter fastboot mode now using any combination of buttons.
Please give your comment and help to solve this.
Thank you very much!

Here is the thing you have wrong spl radio combination,you have perfected spl. You can do a fastboot boot xxxxxx.img and enter recovery. Then you must flash eng spl 1.33.2010.And you will be unbricked

Hmm did you try the sappimg.nbh to restore your magic???
Updated: I tried to use sappimg.nbh in fastboot mode. However, it responses that the main version is older. This is because I have run the RUU (RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.1_test_signed_No Driver.exe), whose main version is 3.05 while the sappimg.nbh is older than this number.
Now I can access fastboot and the hboot, but not the recovery. Of course, I cannot boot the android OS either. Is there a method to root just in the fastboot mode? I have the security turned on (S-ON)?
Anyone got suggestion? Thanks!
Can anyone help on this? really get frustrated

What a bad news =( I had sent this phone to repair, but all of their experts cannot fix as well.
That's lame.... did you try the unroot process?

You could try unbricking by flashing the Rogers or Brazilian Android 2.1 RUU. The main version is newer and a goldcard should make it work.
Please make sure your battery is full and that you have a PROPER GOLDCARD!!! Otherwise this will most likely fail.
I've uploaded the sappimg to http://www.multiupload.com/WO0S35S53S
Rename it to sappimg.zip, copy it to the root of your SD card and boot into fastboot (vol-down and power). That SHOULD fix your phone. Then again, it could also brick it even worse, but what do you have left to lose?
After loaded sappimg, it checking sappimg, then went back to HBOOT. Nothing happened. I've tried to recreate my gold card, no luck with it =(

[Q] magic. only fastboot. boot recovery not working. sappimg not working

Hi.
i need some advice to see what can i do to get the phone working again.
case:
htc magic 32A.
ENG S-OFF H.
hboot-1.33.2005
radio.3.22.20.17.
i had cyangoenmod 6. working just fine! for several months. a couple a days ago (without installing anything new) it crashed, and now it gets stuck in the splash screen.
symptoms:
i can enter fastboot. fastboot devices lists the phone.
i can't enter recovery. fastboot boot recovery.img doesnt work, still stuck in splash screen. fastboot flash recovery.img doesnt work either.
i thought the next step would be a factory reset so i got a friend to copy the sappimg.zip on my sdcard and tried to run hboot mode, but it says NO IMAGE! when checking SAPPIMG.zip
should i use RUU? whats the procedure there?. from where i run it?. also i don't know whats the right one for my phone. i see this list: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=659403.
and fastboot getvar version-main gives me: 3.05.529.9. while CID gives BSTAR301
i dont see that exact version in the list, and the only one with that cid is 2.20.515.5 HTC Chile BrightStar/Entel. im a little confused here...
thanks for any help!.
the problem seems to be bigger. I decided to go with the RUU directly from Htc site. For my device, i gave my serial no. and downloaded the .exe for magic_brightstar. It did successfully updated everything (?), radio, hboot, recovery, system, splash....
But i start the phone and it is still stuck in the freaking init screen.
I don't understand, what else can i do?.
Can you enter the recovery now?
No. the recovery doesn't enter. still frozen.
I'm trying to have a working goldcard, but it has been a little tricky without another phone to convert the sd. I'm following what amon_ra suggested here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218. Because right now my hboot is locked (after running the factory RUU) and i can't run any of the flashing fastboot commands.
will post what happens...
ok the goldcard did its job, i have again eng spl with all fastboot flashing enabled. but i cant get into recovery yet, no matter what.
at this point i'm thinking on flashing the original hboot, radio and go claim the guaranty...
Any ideas before throwing the towel???
i was thinking that if it is a hardware/firmware problem, it should be possible to test via fastboot oem commands, isn't?
Download my fastboot commander from my signature (the magic version).
It has a special 32A tab.
Using the tool, flash the old combo and see if you can enter recovery afterwards.
You can also flash the new combo and give it try...
