First of all, wrong section. Moving to General. Next time your post will be trashed.
Secondly, your not bricked. Please check your definitions.
Third, try flashing the engineering bootloader via goldcard method and then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (Amon_RaG or ClockworkMod for MyTouch/Ion).
Then power off your phone and hold the home button while powering it back on.
You should now have a recovery. From there try flashing the rom again. If it still doesn't appear to be doing anything then do a wipe and reflash.
Thanks for the tips, ill go for that right now.
sorry for the wrong section. Im wouldve put it in the Q&A section if there was one.
EDIT:
The only guide for a goldcard I've found requires a working phone. Mine doesnt work.

Seriously?
myTouch 3G, Magic General
Discussion about the T-Mobile myTouch 3G, HTC Magic (general Q&A, tips & tricks)
Ok Im blind, sorry.
But still have a bricked phone. and if the MT3g section is anything like the HD2 section. the only place to get answers is the DEV section.
Your going to have to find someone with an Android phone (any Android phone will work) to create the goldcard.
No need. If you got adb access you can flash the custom recovery from there (cm 6.1 has the SU and flash_image binaries).
Then simply load the custom recovery and fix your rom/OS (flash a new one or wipe or what ever).
Take a look at my guide (check my signature) and you will find all the steps needed. Just make sure you use G recovery and NOT H.
Good luck hunting!
To add to that, what radio are you using? You only gave us your hboot.

If you put the goldcard in and boot to your bootloader and press the back key it will load your goldcard and flash the engineering spl.

He stated that the rom won't load and he can't load the recovery. His spl is S-ON so from where I sit the goldcard method is his ONLY choice.
If that doesn't work then he's pretty much SOL.

If you have a ****ed spl/radio combo, then all this is for nothing and there are other issues to be fixed first!
Its kinda a difficult situation. I only have adb access for a little while while @ the Cm screen, then it goes away, and Im stuck at the CM screen. I have attemped the goldcard a couple times, but I dont have the correct card, and none of mine seem to work. Wife was shopping, and could only find SanDisk cards, and it didnt work.
Radio is 2.22.23.02
Im gonna attempt anything and everything I can think of to get it to work, but I might have to just run into town and find a damn Kingston card.
SanDisk cards work, got mine sitting in a box in my closet from where I rooted my phone. It may be a procedure that's wrong, not the SD card.
Ok well I managed to get the goldcard made, but when I get into HBOOT, it scans the card and states: no image or wrong image for the sappimg.zip.
file is @ the root of my sdcard, and wont read it, yet when I dont have the goldcard setup, it reads the file just fine. same exact file.

Its not. I've managed to get 2 goldcards succefully made, verified that multiple times, but it just doesnt work. It will not read the file from the SDcard.
I can put the same file on my sdcard from my HD2 and it will read it no problem.
I might play around with it more, but for now, Im calling it a brick.
Just to make sure, have you tried downloading the sappimg file again?

Yea, I've got 3 or 4 different ones on my PC, tried all, none work. It reads the sdcard and just passes it by.
Im really stumped. Followed the goldcard method to a "T" with 4 cards, 2 actually succeed in the proccess, but niether will get the sappimg.zip to read.
After installing the card into the phone and, attempting the Hboot, the HEX gets changed on the card also, just a few values, nothing exteme
IDK if thats normal or what, but it happens.
I don't think it should change anything so that may be your problem. I'm pretty sure I looked at mine after using it and it was the same. Weird.
well last resort, gonna turn my 8gb class 6 sdcard for my HD2 into a goldcard, and check.
after putting the sappimg on the sdcard w/o formating, goldcard or anything, the MT reads the sappimg, and attempts, but gets the error, of course. So im attempting the goldcard right now.
UPDATE:
It worked, got eng SPL on the phone, figured I would just follow CM guide for rooting to verify that it will work. but Im stuck:
# Once it finishes flashing, it should ask you to reboot. Reboot and let it load to the new "htc Magic" boot screen.
# Chances are at this point that the phone will not successfully boot. THIS IS NORMAL. Simply remove and re-insert the battery, as we're not done yet!
# Download the following zip file (the stock myTouch SPL and Radio) and extract it: [1]
# Copy the two files inside the zip to the root of your SD Card
# Take the latest Amon_RA recovery you downloaded earlier and copy it to the root of your SD Card.
# Download terminal emulator from the market and run the following commands:
flash_image flash radio /sdcard/radio.img
flash_image flash hboot /sdcard/hboot_7201A_1.33.0013G_091021.nb0
flash_image flash recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G-cyan.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Items in red are the issue, if the phone doesnt boot, how am I supposed to get into market?
Done and Done! phone is working again. I guess I should've tried my nice sdcard a while ago, but I didnt want to screw it up.
Oh well. Thanks for all the tips and ideas guys!

Hey guys, I have spent the last 8 hours trying to figure this out.
I have a MyTouch 3g 1.2 and I want to root it and install Cyanogen's new ROM. I have been following the rooting guide from TheUnlckr.com.
I am able to complete everything fine (I needed to substitute the sappimg for the Sapphire one to make it work), but it finally completed.
When I go to fastboot with SDK, I can see my device, so everything looks fine. However, when I go to flash the radio, hboot, and recovery images, I get a error that says:
Code:
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>fastboot flash radio radio.img
sending 'radio' <21504 KB>...FAILED <remote: not allow>
finished. total time: 0.016s
This is the pattern for each of the files I try to flash...
This is where I'm at, and I haven't even gotten to flashing the ROM yet. So, I currently just have a stock device. Can someone please help me out?
I tried using the following sappimg:
2.53.707.2_-_sappimg
SAPPIMG_Sapphire_T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4_release_signed
the following SPL:
update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2010-signed
the following recovery images:
recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img
flashrec-1.1.2-20090909.apk
flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2
flashrec-20090815
I'm clearly all over the place now. Someone please point me in the right direction. I tried several different ways to fix it, but none of them worked. The most reason I tried was the method of using the flashrec to flash a recovery image while the phone is on, instead of fastbooting it. That didn't work because it kept saying it was the wrong image for the phone.
Thanks in advance guys. And believe me, I've been searching and searching.

before you can flash anything with fastboot, you have to shoehorn that engineering SPL into the phone somehow (probably have to make a goldcard, but I don't know for sure on the 1.2 mytouch)
which rooting guide are you using? (there are many different ones on unlockr, some of which are terribly obsolete)
also, flashrec isn't a recovery image, its a one-click rooting app that only works on android 1.5 (pretty sure the 1.2 mytouch only runs 1.6)

I also successfully created a goldcard, and installed all the ADB stuff. The part that's hanging me up is the flashing of the recovery image via fastboot usb.
I'm so close! I have successfully rooted two other mytouch devices, but they were not the 1.2 version.
Any more help would be great!

what "sapphire" image did you substitute? and what happened when you tried to use the sappimg that they gave you in the instructions?
When I tried using that image, it just said "wrong file for this phone" or something like that. I know the goldcard was done right, though, because it works with another sappimg. I'm trying to follow cryptsmoker's guide now. I'm going to try and use the engineering img/SPL now. We'll see how it goes.
Ok, now I'm getting frustrated.
Here is my info:

I just got the Model ID incorrect!
Update Fail!
This happens with every sappimg I use except T-Mobile 2.10.531.4. I'm sure that's the stock one, so that's probably why. I'm just so ticked.
To clarify again, After I hboot the sappimg, I reboot and instead of being taken to the Magic screen, I'm taken to a standard MyTouch splash, then Android splash, then MyTouch setup screen. My touchscreen works the entire time. Is this because I basically just reinstalled the stock ROM?
I just can't seem to get ANY other sappimg to work beside the stock one. I've used three different goldcards and all of them work the exact same way.
Please help!
Dane
yeah, you are just reinstalling the stock files (stock SPL and radio)
just because the t-mobile sappimg works doesn't mean you made the goldcard right.
the point of the goldcard is to trick the phone into installing a non-stock sappimg, you could take a brand new SD card, put the stock sappimg on it and you would still be able to flash it using vol-down+power
open the goldcard.img in HxD and make sure it contains all the lines (including all of line 170), if it doesn't then you need to start over from the beginning (get cid again, reverse it again, get a new goldcard.img)
If goldcard.img is ok, open the sd card in HxD again and make sure all of the first 170 lines of the sd card match the goldcard.img
also, some SD cards just don't work for making goldcards. I used a lexar 1gb, and kingston 2gb cards are reported to work
I didn't paste over the entire 170 line while making the goldcard. I used the "select" feature and chose 0-170...that could be my mistake. Here we go again!
I actually never got this to work the first time. I was really excited since I heard I would be getting the T-Mobile update soon, but then I read a little further and saw that the 2.1 is not yet included...so, I will be figuring this out today, mark my words!
Wish me luck!
Dane
I had a similar problem and it was the goldcard. Although I had made the goldcard and it worked before, using the same goldcard I get the same error message as you. I made a new goldcard and it worked flawlessly to flash using fastboot. Make sure you are using one of the brands that are know to work.
OK, new problem now. I installed everything and got it all to work. I actually had the stock cm rom working (an out of date version from the unlockr). Well, I tried to update and I started by flashing the 6.35.16.19 radio. Apparently that worked but now nothing else will.
In the HBOOT screen, I see this:

Every time I try and update the Sappimg file, I get stuck at the updating phase of the radio_v2 portion. Please help guys, I don't know enough about this to figure it out and it's really killing me!
I figure I need to get back to the stock radio I started with (3.22 or whatever), but I can't. Even when I try to flash the radio in fastboot, it takes way too long and never finishes.
Your speedy replies are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Got your pm.
Facts: STOP MESSING UP YOUR DEVICE.....
You are working in the blind... mixing bad spl and radio combos.....
So STOP what you doing and read and understand before you continue.
You can't just take any sappimg.zip and apply it... I has complete partitions layout... like the spl, radio, recovery ect...
So if you take whatever you find on the net and apply it, you will **** your device up... just like you did now...
Having the 6.35 radio and a perfected 1.33 spl... Just bad for business!
What is your current status:
Access to adb?
Access to fastboot?
Access to recovery?
Access to rom/system?
Also post fastboot info...
Then we can take it from there :0)
And for gods sake... STOP flashing stuff.
I have access to adb, fastboot, and hboot. No ROM/system or recovery.
Clarification: Since I cannot access the system of the phone, I do NOT have access to ADB. I cannot see the device when I type in 'adb devices' within the AndroidSDK\tools path.
Fastboot info:

the hboot: hboot-1.76.2007.nb0
the recovery: recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
I have since tried to go into one of your other threads and at least match up my SPL/Radio combo. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
OK.... you are now in a god situation...
You have a good combo and eng spl...
We can work with this....
1) boot into fastboot
2)download the fastboot commander (magic).... check my signature
3)start the tool... does it print the device info?
If yes, do this:
Go to the magic 32A tab.
Push "flash old".
IF all successful, then go to "misc" tab and push "reboot device".
When device has rebooted, push "print device info".
Now copy all text and posted here...
IF you get ANY errors... DO NOT REBOOT, DO NOT CLOSE THE TOOL...
Just take the output + the content of the "actual tab" and post here....
Again, IF you get ANY errors... DO NOT REBOOT, DO NOT CLOSE THE TOOL!
If the tool does not print the device info, then post here...

Hello all,I have searched and search but to no avail no option have worked for me yet. I need to unbrick my phone,yes I can still get into hboot and fastboot so there is some hope. I have tried multiple times to flash a sappimg to allow me to flash a recovery radio and boot,just none have worked.Even the ones that did appear to work,got stuck at unzipping.
Everytime I would try to flash something through flashboot it will just fail a signature check,and if I try to use fastboot to boot into a recovery,it just hangs till my battery dies out or I pull it out.
This is my fastboot info

To give a basic run down this is what I am experencing
1.Cannot locate a suitable sappimg
2.Fastboot and Hboot are running,but security is on so I can flash another recovery radio or boot.
3. Cannot get into any type of OS
4. Cannot load into a recovery through fastboot
5. SAPPIMG stops a unzipping or fails signing check.
I don't want to beg for help,I am just all out of ideas to try to fix it,have search and such and the last way for me to fix it would be run it over with my car and take it through insurace =(
So if anyone could lend a hand I would much appreciate it.
Fix your goldcard!
You need to remake the goldcard...
You should not get signing errors with a working goldcard.
Easier said then done sadly,I would need to actually get into the OS to do the adb command to get the string of numbers to input into the thing that reverse engineers the number to create a gold card =( Using the goldcard I had when I flash the first time though,I dont suppose anything would change.
have tried to use the sappimg from recovery or fastboot?
You can use it from both... try it out if you have not done it before
ps: try to see whats inside the sappimg.zip you have... if you cannot see inside, you need to rename it sappimg.nbh and not sappimg.zip...
Maybe thats why you are getting unzip/signing errors!
I have tried everything except for renaming the .zip to .nbh, let me give that a roll and post back!
Renaming it with .nbh didnt work,didnt even process it a bit,just straight back to hboot beginning menu
rename it to update.zip do it in recovery!

In the original post I stated I cant even get into recovery =(,not even by loading it with fastboot. The only tools I have right now are hboot and fastboot =(
Serousley contemplating just running it over and going through my insurance,but a $130 deductible is a bit rough.
Any other options available?
i'm uploading my sappimg.nbh which i used to my device.
It's the same fastboot info.
It worked for me in fastboot using a goldcard..,. 100 %

Model Version is older Update fail,so I would probably have to remake a goldcard,but cant do that since I cant get into the OS at all =(
Unless there is an external way to do that,anyone have any ideas or am I officially taking the tire to the mytouch
I thought so... non-functional goldcard.
Find someone around you and use his android...
The only solution !
would it have to be the same model as my phone or does it matter? My friend has an evo
Or wait I still have the a goldcard.img on my computer,if its the old one couldnt I just redo the hexedit?
Does not matter... any device will do.
Just make it right... read, read, think, read, think then do :0)
Alright well I had the old goldcard.img in my gmail,so I just downloaded and I hexed it,and to no avail still the same error. Redid the flash twice on 2 different cards.
do you still have the nr you wrote down?
No i dont believe so,maybe its possible to reverse engineer the goldcard image? Or maybe even someone upload thier image if the model of the phone doesnt matter,I can do the hexwork myself.
No go... Its sdcard specific.
So every sdcard has it's own goldcard img
You just need the string/tag nr for the sdcard... use any device to get this...
Then make the goldcard.
If you could find the tag nr you used for the goldcard img in your mail, you could make a new one (the right way) :0)

Maybe someone here could make a goldcard and mail it to you? Or what about all those rooting services on CL? Maybe someone has a goldcard you can use.
Well I have two potential ideas
1. I have the 8g sandisk thats come with the 3.5mm headphone jack mytouch through t-mobile,if someone has something similar maybe I can use thier gold image or
2. I have a Motorola phone,very old,think its a rizir? anyway I had a mini sd port, maybe I could pop it in, find the usb cord for it and get the number I need to make a gold card that way?
Alright heres an update,in case this will help anyone within the future, I just booted into a ubuntu VM I had and ran the command to get the CID for my sd card, so was able to do that and get a new goldcard.img, still doesnt seem to be flashing through sappimg though =(
Maybe it is completly bricked.
Can someone give me a link or explenation how to install a new rom on my htc magic?

Well, you've certainly come to the right place.
As I've no idea what stage you are at, I'd say a good starting point is discovering what your magic is - turn it off, depress back button while starting phone.
Then begin your searching based upon that info......
I rooted mine following the cyanogenmod wiki. Knew nothing when I did and it worked out fine.
wiki.cyanogenmod.com (still can't post links)
By far, the easiest I've encountered. Still, feel free to ask questions about any of the steps and I'm sure there are a lot of people who'd love to help.

I've installed the android SDK and the USB thing, I have a Magic from belgium (proximus) that shoudn't need to bee rooted.
So the only thing i need to know now is what do i need to install before i can instal a new rom and ho do i ionstall other radio+rom,
thank you
make sure you have all files on sd, and computer.
and have recovery etc.
follow the steps and double check it.

You need recovery on your phone and the right radio/hboot. Once you have these the ROM BIBLE on here very useful.
Read everything carefully and don't rush into anything, as the wrong combinations of rom/radio/hboot can easily brick your phone.
With recovery on your phone, and the right radio/hboot, flashing the rom itself via recovery is fairly easy.
You download the rom to your pc, enter recovery and wipe your phone, move your new rom onto the sd card via pc or usb, then flash it onto your phone from the sd card. Obviously there's more to it (such as backing up and more wiping etc) and more detailed explanations are available on this site - this is just to give you an idea of what's required.
The links in Mumilover's signature proved extremely useful to me(see my flashrec confusion post), might be worth you looking having a look to see if any are of use to you as well. Good luck.

Wow, no need for rooting! Have you tried installing a custom recovery image yet? Don't use ClockworkMod as they appear to have problems with 32A magics. Apparently, (according the cyanogenmod wiki) all you have to do is boot into fastboot and type a few things into cmd. BTW, you might have to type in the entire directory of the "recovery.img" you use when you use fastboot. (even if it's in the same folder as fastboot) I'm a noob so it took me a half hour to figure that out.

How to get into fastboot and what do i have to type in cmd?
Go to wiki.cyanogenmod.com and find the step by step process for your specs. If you get the "remote:not allow" message while flashing a recovery then you're probably going to have to change your spl

I know there different methods out there, which I can't speak off, excuse me being biased but I have to say mumilovers fastboot commander was amazingly easy for me. In your case use the fastboot commander (magic version) in his signature. You simply download the commander, connect your phone via usb and enter fastboot (turn off phone, depress back button while starting phone up). You then have the ability via the commander to add recovery, change radio and change spl in simple clicks. Please note s-off/eng hboot is required (which you will find details of in fastboot) - which is why I can't use it anymore!!
you then can go off and change roms
First of all, my phone is the T-Mobile myTouch 3G 1.2 32A with the headphone jack and all that.
So I've been trying to flash new SPLs, radios, ROMs, and recoveries, and I've messed things up. I could use some help because I'm totally lost at this point.
The main issue I'm having now is my phone is hanging on the green myTouch 3G screen. I CAN load into fastboot, however. I've been flashing radios and recoveries, but I can't seem to get the phone to boot.
The current readout at the top of my fastboot looks like this:

I recently flashed the x.26.x radio because I saw some people saying that helped... I think. But I've been using this fastboot commander (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824435) to flash back and forth between the "old" and "new" packages of spl and radios.
Oh yeah, and the recovery I last flashed was titled "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H". Didn't seem to help my issue. Still not able to get into recovery, only fastboot.
I assume since I'm still able to flash radios and such that I'm not totally screwed, so if someone could point me to the correct files or something, that would be much appreciated. At this point, I'd settle for resetting this thing to factory settings. Whatever it takes to make it functional again would be nice.
Please help! Thanks in advance!
Stop what you are doing!
Find and flash the 1.33.0013 or 0013d spl, a 2.22.x radio and they version of amonra recovery from fastboot. Then you sould be back up and running.
These files are easy to find but ill get you links if you have trouble
OK, I've downloaded what seem to be the correct files. I'll try those out, but for right now it seems my battery is too low to continue. I'll let you know if I have any more questions when I try later, though! Thanks for replying!
Well, I tried those files with no luck. Perhaps you could link me to the right ones? Maybe I got it wrong.
Anyway, my fastboot readout now shows:

Same issue. I turn the phone on and it hits the green myTouch 3G screen. Then it sits there. I left it for about 20 minutes and there as no change. I'm not sure what could be wrong.

Can you get into recovery? Have you flashed a rom? If so, which one?

Still can't get into recovery. I'm currently having trouble getting files onto my SD card. I think you can manage files through the fastloader while connected to USB, but I guess I need drivers for that. I can't seem to find those. :/
If I could get that to work, I could try flashing a ROM. The last ROM I had on there was Cyanogen 6, though.
I was able to get access to my SD card through other means, but how do I flash a ROM from fastloader now? I tried putting an update Zip file in the root. Not sure if that's right. :S

Roms are flashed through recovery.
So if you dont have a working recovery or rom then you'll have to restore to stock then re-root
Put this on your sdcard and name it sappimg.zip and pot your phone with volume down + power

I get into fast boot and i cant even update anything. i try and it says check signature failed. What ever nbh file i put on the phone it gets stuck on updating radio, bar is almost filled to the top but sits there forever, till batter dies.
Any help would be great thanks in advance
Omg. Why did you flash inappropriate radio? Only magics 32a are compatible with 6.35.xx.xx
You can try flash ruu 2.53.707.2 from my library: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6109097 (requires goldcard)
It has eng hboot and you will able to restore 32b combo next step, but chances are so small...
P.s. If you will have success with 2.53.707.2, then I will write next step. Do not do fast actions.

You can create goldcard with any HTC phone. Ask friends, neighbors. This operation is safe. You need insert your own sdcard to friend's phone, read cid, generate goldcard image and paste it onto your sdcard.

make a gold card, use the guide one the page "htcdev",(i cant post address) it will kick your phone out of RUU, if you are lucky enough to have a custom recovery before you got into this problem, then you can bring your phone back to life. btw, i have a magic 32A and stucked in the ruu before.

Whenyou say guide is it for making the gold card or to get out of ruu? If its a guide for the gold card I'm going to use the one posted on addictive tips. Gold card made what's the next step?
How long did it take you to get it out of ruu ?
Mmm... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23599950&postcount=2

no, gold card is easy to make when you have an android device, the guide i mean is how to kick your phone out of ruu, which may need a gold card. so before you do the guide on htcdev, make the gold card first. since i cant post address here, i will pm it to you about the guide.

heya i tried running the ruu and it not able to find my phone. im able to fastboot devices and get it listed. i tried running it before the first time and i think it picked it up. i ran the tmobile one just to see if it picks it up and it did.
im going to try another pc real quick; Ok tried the other pc same result, t mobile ruu picked it up.
Went back to 1st pc uninstalled all driver programs related to phone. cleaned out registry and temp.
Checked with USBDeview, non listed. installed drivers that are from sdk tools, android bootloader interface.
ran it again still dident pick it up but tmoible ruu again picked it up.
So its. Gonner then eh?
0. Go into fastboot mode
1. Check connection by command
Code:
fastboot devices
It should return serial number
2. Run RUU 2.53.707.2
3. Navigate to windows temporary directory and search for rom.zip
4. Check twice that is 2.53.707.2 archive (you can unpack files and view hboot via notepad, you will see something like 1.33.2010 ENG S-OFF)
5. Copy rom.zip into folder with fastboot.exe (from Android SDK Tools), close RUU
6. Run
Code:
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
Just gave it a shot it passed sig, header,info then stopped at checking model id
Remote 41 model id check fail.
I used gold card tool 0.0.5 to get cid then went to rev skils dl the image and used the same prog to create the gold card via patch mmc.
