Need serious help! Possibly bricked MyTouch?

To be honest, i have no idea what i was doing, but i ended up with a 32A radio and SPL, and now my MyTouch 1.2 won't boot.
It WILL boot in fastboot and hboot
It WONT boot in recovery or regularly
I have tried "fastboot erase radio" (and erasing cache), i have tried the stock MyTouch 1.2/Fender "sappimg.zip" but none have gotten past flashing the Radio, it stops when the little red bar is about 97% full.
Tried logcat, but apparently it doesn't work in fastboot mode :-/
Can anyone help?
It is now at:

Fastboot USB

EDIT:
Ok, now when i try booting regularly (or just pop the battery in) the phone shows the bright green "MyTouch3G" screen, but with the words "FASTBOOT USB" in the uppermost left-hand corner, where the word "SAPPHIRE" would be in normal fastboot mode.....really weird. SERIOUSLY hoping someone has an idea....

BUMP: Guys, this is really urgent. I have been searching all over XDA, Google, and the CM forums, but haven't found any procedures that work. This thread has been up for almost 17 hours, and has 69 views (lol) but no replies.
This is REALLY urgent, and I am trying to be as calm as possible, so i can get some help.
PLEASE post any ideas you may have.

Are you seeing anything on the screen besides "fastboot USB"? It really sounds like you messed with it until you REALLY got it hosed. Does your computer still recognize the phone by running "fastboot devices" in ADB?

Yeah, computer recognizes fastboot, i can flash everything EXEPT radio. That's the problem. When i try to flash a radio ".img" file, the second (RED) progress bar gets stuck right before it finishes flashing, and stays like that until i pull the battery, when it says "Flash FAILED (too many links)" or something like that.
Is it possible i damaged the radio partition or something? Can it be repaired?

Please answer the other question.

Well actually, now it shows the regular MyTouch slashcreen, not "Fastboot USB" at the top anymore. And I'm talking about a regular boot. Like i previously said, fastboot works fine except flashing a radio.

OK, so what are you showing when you boot into fastboot? Do you have a working goldcard?

Yes, i have a working goldcard, and at the moment, the phone shows:

Thanks in advance for all your help, bro.

Alright, think I know what you did wrong. You need to reflash the sappimg that got you here:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP31000)
It may fail trying to update the radio because it's the same version you already have. If you get back to S-OFF, then try flashing the radio.img from fasboot. If it work your good to go, just need to finish flashing everything. Remember, flash in the following order (after getting back to S-OFF):
radio
hboot
recovery
Let me know what happens after you try flashing the sappimg again.
If you need anything you can get them from here:
sappimg.zip for myTouch 1.2 only
radio.img for myTouch 1.2 only
hboot.nb0 for myTouch 1.2 only
Amon Ra 1.7.0-G Recovery

TBH, I flashed the 32A SPL and Radio separately, it wasn't the 2010 that got me the 6.xx radio.
I'll try anyway, thanks.
EDIT: Ok, flashed back to the 2010 Engineering SPL, and tried to flash the "radio.img" first (using RadioSwitcherGUI v4.1), and got:
flashing "radio"- PLEASE WAIT
"radio" flash- FAILED
and with Fastboot:
Sending radio....OKAY
(and gets stuck on..) flashing radio............
At this point the phone is sitting next to me frozen trying to update the radio, but the red status bar froze right before it finished.
I've tried wiping the radio partition, and all other partitions (except the "bootloader" partition, even I'M not that stupid ), and tried it again, but it froze again on the red status bar, in the same spot.
(In case you dont know, there are two steps, a GREEN status bar, showing fastboot uploading the "radio.img" file to the phone, and the RED status bar, showing its progress with the flash).

BUMP: (see update above)

EDIT:
Ok, my mom decided to call T-Mobile and get me a replacement device, and apparently they ran out of MyTouch's, so they are going to send me a free Motorola Cliq (SWEET, physical keyboard!)
I do have a question though, is it safe to send it back with fastboot saying a different SPL and Radio version than it shipped with? or should i erase all partitions?

Actually you can fix it VERY easily.
What you had is a known problem..
To fix it you first have to match the radio and spl versions..
Then you can change your radio...
So... to fix:
flash 1.76.2007 spl to match the radio...
Then you change both radio and spl to a good combo for your phone.. e.g.:
spl= 1.33.2010, radio = 2.22.23.02, recovery= Amon RA G-version...
When this is done... the last thing is to flash the system/android system..
This can be done from fastboot using img files or done from the custom recovery using normal rom.zip!
This has been answered like 5-8 times before my me alone. not to mention the others...
I hope that it works out for you :0)

Some info regarding the above:
The spl has internal info about where the different partitions on the nand are located. When you try to flash the radio and you have a bad combo, the spl tries to flash the radio on bad partition table and it will fail...
But when you flash the spl it will succedes due that the spl is always located on the SAME partition and actually has the same size (512 kb).
Using the good combo... you can then change both spl and radio to match the system..
This is only my thoughts about the issue and not exact facts... it's more complicated than that :0)

Well to be honest i don't WANT to fix it anymore, since I'm getting a new phone, but i need to know if i can send it back with the 2010 SPL and 6.xx radio without any problems from T-Mobile?

Then just erase all partitions..
It will not even turn on...
Code:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase data
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase radio
fastboot erase hboot

This should be epic
Thanks!

Wrongly flashed 32A SPL on 32B - any chance to recover?

Well, I accidentally flash a 32A SPL on my 32B myTouch.
Good thing (may be) is I still can access to fastboot.
Bad thing is it turned to S-ON & I can't boot to recovery.

If you can fastboot, you need to flash a 1.76... SPL to go with your 6.35 radio like 1.76.2007.
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.76.2007.img

Might be due to S-ON, it won't allow me to write any SPL, radio or recovery img. When I used the Radio Switcher, it said failure. When I used adb, it said "signature verify fail".
I even tried to use SAPPIMG.nhb but it stucked at radio update.
The last hope there is I still can access to the holy fastboot.
Please help me, guys.

1)See the radio version... thats for the 32A devices... big no-no
2)see the spl... there is a mismatch between the spl and radio... second big no-no.
3) see the 32A... it should be 32B.. third big no-no
The only way you can flash anything is by flashing a matching spl, so the radio and spl can work together.. from there you flash a different combo to match the device you have. The problem is you have s-on, the forth no-no, which complicates thing further...
In other words, you are in deep sh't :0|
You are not completely bricked... but you are very close to...
The fix:
It's a very dangerous approach... post here if you are willing to take a major risk :0)

Thanks mumilover.
I do know that I'm in deep deep Sh!T.
Please post your solution, as I consider my phone in dead anyway now. Can take any risk for testing purpose

Start with these commands:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
fastboot oem h
Post back the results

Hey,
as described here I've got the same problem as camapghe. I'm very intrested in hearing this dangerous approach. So please tell us.
Here is the requested output from my device:
Code:
-bash-4.1$ fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 1.89.162.1
-bash-4.1$ fastboot oem h
... INFOcommand list
INFOkeytest
INFOheap
INFOboot
INFOreset
INFOpowerdown
INFOrebootRUU
INFOtask
INFOrtask
OKAY
-bash-4.1$

The thing is, i got my magic stolen... so it's very hard for me to tell you all the steps from memory... so.. i just pm'ed you my email so we can do it together over gtalk :0)

Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 1.88.531.1
fastboot oem h

(bootloader) keytest
(bootloader) heap
(bootloader) boot
(bootloader) reset
(bootloader) powerdown
(bootloader) rebootRUU
(bootloader) task
(bootloader) rtask
Then, what should I do now?
@ mumilover: I sent you my gmail contact

Guys, I think the danger approach original guide is
HERE
@mumilover: please have a look at this link & confirm what should us (me & Crazy_Scientist) should do next. I'm dare NOT to try any more without guidance from professional.
Update 1:
I just tried a bit & confirmed that I CAN boot in rebootRUU. Waiting for mumilover's guide.
Update 2:
Now stuck in RUU mode. Feel like I'm r*ping my phone's corpse. Ha ha ha.

The guide you referring to has a set of well known commands, like the sd-card enabler and flash of misc partition.
But it does not help us in your case.
What i want to do is something else... i want to flash a RUU using a goldcard.. but while the device is flashing we take out the battery in the right moment... this way we force to flash the only spl... this way we gain a matching combo, and then try to forcefully boot the device... it will not succeed to boot all the way, but i will give us some time to try a different approach :0)
PS: i got your pm, but the time difference makes it a little hard to communicate :0|

So, that will be the idea. I think I know what to do.
But I don't have any RUU img with good SPL yet. If you know any, please provide me the link. Thanks.
Besides, from the command in fastboot, I found that I always stuck at radio point 97 when updating radio. The rest will be ok.
What I want to ask is there any sappimg that can update without / bypassing radio update?

Not a sappimg, the second part of the sappimg flash process is going to be the radio. AFAIK, there is no way to bypass this.

And Crazy_Scientist is back to life running CM and enjoying his non-brick :0)
It took 3 hours to get him back to a running system, and 7.5 min to root and flash custom rom hihihihi

camapghe please post here so i can see you still active or not... no logic in writing the solution if the OP is absent :0)
And just as a side-note, every sappimg.(nbh|zip) has it's own flash order... so the trick is to flash a sappimg which flashes the spl before the radio... and stop it before it updates the version-main nr, so we can flash a different sappimg just after it without the need to change the misc partition.

Make a goldcard and download this:

Rename it to sappimg.zip(not sappimg.zip.zip).
Flash it using hboot mode.
That image will give you eng spl, from there we can bring your phone back to live.

Is there a way to create a goldcard without the use of a phone?i can't use adb..but i've read somewhere that it can be done with a linux live cd

Do the goldcard using ANY android device...

I don't own an other android device.A friend of mine has one but it is unrooted and new,is there any chance it will cause any damage on the phone?By the way,i think there is an app on the market called goldcard helper,is it easier to get the CID that way?

[Q] 32A Magic no ROM or adb only fastboot

RUU
At the bottom of the screen there is an image of a microchip and a red hexagon with two crosses.
When I plug-in the phone to my computer "RUU" changes to "RUU USB".
The only command I can run from the cmd prompt is "fastboot". ADB does not work and I don't seem to be able to browse to my sdcard.
What I Have Tried So Far:
1. I have tried using the “fastboot” command to boot and flash images, radios, and hboots. Nothing works. Either my cmd prompt hangs or it just says “FAILED”.
2. I downloaded a variety of stock RUU ROMs. The Singapore/Philippine ROMs seemed to work but then I got the error “BOOTLADER VERSION ERROR”. With all other ROMs I got the Customer ID error.
3. I tried to make a goldcard, but the steps to make one requiring being able to use the “adb” command and whenever I try this it says “daemon starting” and then “error: device not found” (or something similar). So, I am unable to find the CID of my SD card and I am unable to make a “goldcard”.
What I Want To Do:
My phone was originally rooted and working fine. I was going to sell it to someone so I thought I would flash the stock Sense UI. I guess along the way I made a mistake and now it seems to be bricked.
Please note that I have tried steps 1 to 3 and they do not work. I have gone through hundreds of threads on XDA and other forums. Clearly, I need to figure out a new way of doing this.
If you could help me get it working (in any way, shape or form) I would be helpful.

You could spare yourself some time by doing a goldcard... just to be sure :0)

1)rename the first file to sappimg.zip
2)put it on the goldcard
3)start in hboot mode (hold volume - together with power. '-' = volume decrease)
4)The device should restart into fastboot by it self, then power it down. If not just power it down when its done flashing.
5)rename the second file to sappimg.zip
6)put it on the goldcard (overwrite the old file if you have to)
7)start in hboot mode (hold volume - together with power. '-' = volume decrease)
8)Once done flashing, just restart into the system as a normal boot.
9) This should boot up a stock nordic rom. From there you should follow my root guide found in my signature. Do the custom recovery and eng spl.

Thanks for the response a few things:
Firstly, would you mind posting the file elsewhere (either MediaFire, Dropbox, or XDA-FTP itself). Unfortunately, rapidshare is blocked in Singapore.
Secondly, my phone only boots into the white fastboot screen, no matter what I press or do. I am not near my phone right now (and will test this method later), but I am fairly confident it won’t boot into hboot mode.
Again thanks for the response and hopefully it will work!

While we're on the same topic, I have the exact same problem as the OP, I've got no recovery and only have access to fastboot and hboot, problem is in the details:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT 1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO 6.35.10.18
and after running the getvar command as the expert suggested, my version is this:
2.10.531.4
I've tried what I assumed to be everything, I try pushing new radio and recovery images through fastboot, but it just won't work since I have the damn S-ON thing. And every SAPPIMG i find seems to just outright fail. Either it says incorrect Model ID, or in one case the damn thing flashed the locked hboot (put me in an even bigger pickle) and then hung at flashing the new radio. After 2 hours of it hanging, I gave up. Any advice would be appreciated, it's a friends phone and I said I'd do him a favor by rooting it (as I have rooted several android devices before) but I had no idea this device would be this difficult. I do have a goldcard.

I just tried the first sappimg file in your answer post, and it once again told me incorrect Model ID I don't know how much it matters, but I have the Mytouch 3G with the 3.5mm headphone jack.

T-MOB010 is my CID

Screwed up my phone

I was trying to put my phone back to the original rom (had cyanogenmod installed) and I screwed something up.
Phone now freezes on the boot screen, ADB doesn't work and fastboot says FAILED (remote: not allowed) whenever I try and do anything. (unlocking bootloader doesn't help)
I have a goldcard, but when I try to use it to load a sappimg.zip, it says (main version is older!) or sometimes it looks like it's working then just stops.
I've been trying all the fixes I've seen on this forum for the last couple of days, but so far no luck.
Any Ideas?

You can't boot into recovery?

Nope.

which is your board 32A or 32B and is your phone mobile operator branded (example: T-mobile, Vodafone, Roger, etc.)?
have you came across this link for your RUU?
if yes then try this link

It's a T-mobile with a 32a board.
I've tried flashing those ROM's with and without the goldcard but haven't had any luck. RUU.exe's don't work either.
I've also tried recreating the goldcard many times. I even bought a new kingston sdcard but it didn't help.
I don't think I can fix the perfected SPL because my ROM version is higher than the ones available for download.

I don't think I can fix the perfected SPL because my ROM version is higher than the ones available for download.

Read this post I think you have a 32B board but you are assuming it is 32A, same confusion happened with me when I was new to this.

It has the 3.5mm jack, wouldn't that make it a 32a?

I think I have the same exact problem.

CID: T-MOB010
MID: SAPP31000
MAINVER: 2.53.707.2

Did you already try flashing the Engineerings SPL?
It won't work for me because my mainver is 3.12.0.0 and the SPL needs a higher ROM than what you already have. (I think)
Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010 uses ROM v2.53.707.2 which is the same as yours.

When I try flashing that Engineerings SPL I just get "Model ID incorrect!" with or without a goldcard
EDIT: Wow, i made a silly mistake while creating the goldcard, but i got it to work.
Thank you for your help, i hope your mytouch will be fixed as well.

your RUU is there in the list make a search in the list, use your main version to search which is in your case 2.53.707.2 according to your earlier post. Keep that RUU handy.
In case of AJAX XIII his main version is 3.12.0.0 which is unfortunately not listed but an alternative works.
example: In my case, on my phone two RUU works perfectly 1) 3.12.531.1 T-Mobile USA FRG83D and 2) 1.91.161.1 Vodafone UK DRC92. Even Engineerings SPL works on mine so have too many escape points if I get stuck anywhere. I have been flashing (playing with) mytouch 3g seen 1 year. Thanks to all devs they made it possible.
Dude also check hboot and radio if it is matching to your stock phone (time when you brought home and see it for first time in fastboot mode, hope you got me)

@ AJAX XIII: Did you try to flash one of those official roms with a higher main-version, just to get it running again?
3.54.527.6 BrightStar Brazil
3.54.631.3 Rogers Canada
In my case my phone tells me "Lack of heap", i think it's not 32A as shown (192 MB RAM seem not to be enough to unzip the files) - maybe it's working for you.

When I try to flash those the blue bar on the side goes up for about 1 minute, then the screen changes and says parsing.. sappimg.zip then it just returns to the HBOOT screen and nothing happens.

You tried both files?
Is there any error before it returns to HBOOT? I used a Camcorder to film it and watch it in slowmotion for errors.
In my case there was no error and it just changed to HBOOT when i zipped a sappimg.zip myself, but maybe you get an error.

3.54.527.6 BrightStar Brazil sappimg doesn't even seem to get recognized and the 3.54.631.3 Rogers Canada looks like it's loading but then returns to HBOOT with no errors.

Do you touch those files or just copy them to sd-card and rename them afterwards? Make sure you rename them correct.
Maybe you can also try
Code:
fastboot oem lock
and use the two rom-files from above again.

I copied them onto the sdcard and renamed them sappimg.zip. Tried locked and unlocked but it didn't work.

Maybe try "3.12.531.1 T-Mobile USA FRG83D" from official roms - but it's for 32B. Don't know what's happening when flash works.
Are both commands working without error??
Code:
fastboot oem lock
and
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
For me the lock worked, unlock results in command error.

I get ERROR [130]: MODEL ID ERROR
ERROR [155]:UNKNOWN ERROR when locked
