Out of curiousity... do you have a 3.5 headphone jack on the top of your phone?
HBoot-1.33.0013 is the spl type for the 1.2 device... but you're using the newer radio. Also if so... I'm curious as to why it says 32B S-ON instead of 32A.
I also had this happen when trying to flash a 2.6.35.10 kernel. After updating to the newer radio, I tried to flash the 32a kernel and got stuck in a bootloop. It turned out that since the mytouch 1.2 with headphone jack is only 32a in terms of memory, all I had to do was flash pershoot's 32b kernel and now it works like a charm. The radio and kernel MUST be compatible for the phone to boot. Save a 32b kernel to ur SD card, hold down home+power to boot into recovery, then apply zip from SD card and find the correct update.zip file for the kernel. This should work, if not just boot into recovery and use nandroid to revert to a usable setup. Hopefully u made a backup before rooting and updating the radio... I wonder why recovery wont find your update.zip file though. Are u selecting apply update.zip from the first menu or are u actually going to the update file by selecting apply zip from SD card and finding the file in the list? If you renamed the file so you could apply as update.zip, make sure it didn't save as update.zip.zip on your card. If not, make sure there are NO spaces in the file name. If you downloaded the file twice, it will save the second as
filename (2).zip and if that's the one you moved to ur card it will still have the space before the extension and recovery wont find it.

thanx for the replies i downloaded the CM rom but when i plug in usb doesnt recognize on comp so theres no way to get on sd. also could it be possible to just add the sappimg on sd and install since it says not found
U could by installing the sdk/adb drivers on ur comp, save the files u want to push in the same folder, and then cd to the sdk tools folder in a command prompt and type "fastboot devices" to connect your phone. I always use recovery and rom manager for all my modding so I'm not too familiar with the rest of the commands, but since ur stuck in bootloop I would either get a usb card reader to transfer the files or do a search on xda for the guide "adb for dummies". The new rom might fix ur problem since they usually have a kernel update built in.

I just need some of the experts on the forum to check my logic. I am in the middle of doing this so Im just trying to make sure.

I am aware that that is the 'perfect SPL'
I am using an HTC Magic from Vodacom (South Africa). The current version of my firmware is 1.5 (Cupcake).
These are the steps that I have already followed:
1.) I have succesfully changed my recovery image to this one -> Amon Ra’s Recovery Image using the One Click Rooting described by the guys from The Unlockr
2.) I can get into the recovery by pressing and holding Home + Power
My questions:
1.) Should I flash the SPL to a different one? I am looking at changing to this one: Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2005-signed, will it work on my phone?
2.) If I need to flash the SPL can I follow the steps provided by this tutorial but instead of fastboot just use the Amon Ra's Recovery tool?
Processes to be followed:
1.) I will be changing to the RA-IONv1.6.2H ROM as provided on The Unlockr and I will be following the steps in their How to Load a Custom ROM tutorial.
As you can see, I have come a ways but I am a bit paranoid as I have previously bricked a phone. I would like some of the pro's just to check my logic and also comment on my choice of ROM and SPL.
Thank you in advance
You can use any of the SPL that are showed there... I'm using the Engineering SPL 1.33.2009 SPL...
To update it just put it on the SD and aplly update:choose (if you are using the Amon_Ra recovery) or update:update.zip if you are using another recovery (remember that if you use this method you will have to rename the file as update.zip)...
To install a rom it's quite easy, just put the rom in the SD and in the recovery make a nandroid backup, then wipe/factory reset and finally install the rom using the update option...
Restart and voila, you will have te rom... Just remember that you have to use a 32A rom...
Thanks No-Frost for the quick reply.
Another question:
If I flash the SPL, does my current ROM stay in tact or should I flash SPL and a new ROM afterwards?
Im very nervous to flash my phone again so Im trying to read up as much as possible about the process and ways to recover.
I have succesfully loaded the new SPL (Engineering SPL 1.33.2009 SPL) as well as the new ROM. The new ROM feels faster but I dont like it much. I am searching for a new one.
To answer some of my own questions:
- If you add a new SPL the current ROM still works fine (very noob question and answer but just for in case someone else has the same question)
- The Amon Ra's Recovery works very well. I prefer it to the fastboot. Just feels safer to do everything on the phone
Thanks for the help!

Sorry, everytime I go into recovery mode it just makes me think back to installing stuff in DOS. I've tried flashing several different versions of Cyanogen ROMs but to no avail. 4.2.5, 2.6, 2.6.1, 2.7, 2.7.1. All do the same thing. I can only revert back to fastbooting and reflashing the sappimg to get my phone operational again.
I've read somewhere that you can't flash 1.6 roms to 1.5 phones. But am I mistaken in thinking that the DRC83_base_defanged is the 1.5-1.6 bridge? Should I be using a different ROM first?
Just looking for a little guidance here. I've worked on things much more complicated than this and haven't had this much trouble. At this point I have a seperate SDcard with the sappimg.nbh ready to go.
first off check your fastboot screen again
it should say
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-OFF G
also what base rom u using
i used HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip
did you reboot between base rom and 4.28 flash

I did whatever Cyanogen told me to. I used the DRC83_base_defanged.zip base rom. I tried wipe, flash base, flash 4.2.8, and I also tried wipe, flash base, reboot fully (failed), flash rom. Didn't think to try flashing, rebooting to recovery and flashing second half.
look for the relentless rooter in the dev section
cause ship s should be off
and don't reboot between rom installation
Hello. I have a htc magic 32A with perfect spl rooted by the one click root method but i want to install cm6 but i never made it. I have a few doubts:
1º - After i rooted my htc magic, i have to download rom manager and then flash clockwordmod recovery or Ra recovery 1.7??
2º - Then i have to download and do a froyo radio update right to cm6 work? If yes, how and will not brick my phone when turn on wand where i download it?
3º - i presume the update froyo's radio is before i install the cm6. If i update radio and the phone works, then is only install the cm6, port and Gapps all together with rom manager??
I need help please because i have tried so many times install a custom rom and i failed always(thanks god a do always a backup). I want to leave 1.5 stock rom
please write first all you can see in fastboot here...
i think you have only to flash a custom recovery.
dont use rom manager, i have heard there were a lot of bricks with that app and clockwork.
use a amonRA recovery.
follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756918
and all should work.
but first post all you see in fastboot.
ok i flash a recovery and then? i dont need to have a new radio and port to the install cm6 and Gapps?

i'm rooted by one click root and already installed rom manager to flash the recovery
Then i dont know how to install cm6 6.0 stable and i want very much.
please help!!!
When you install custom recovery and dont use ROM mangaer it has bugs you can install Ra's recovery v1.7 adn install it via fast boot,download CM6,kernel for ebi36 i think it is and gapps tiny,install via recovery(flash from zip) first cm6 then kernel and then tiny apps and you should be fine
wiki.cyanogenmod.com
and the radio? i have a RADIO-3.22.23.18. Don't have to update the radio? If yes, when i have to update? Before or after the install cm6?
and one more thing. I have to flash the ra recovery via rom manager and reboot to install cm6 or it has to be in other way?
New Radio doesnt work on CM6, install RA recovery via ROM manager at your own risk,then wipe all data via recovery and then instal CM6 kernel and gapps
i dont have to install the 3.22.20.17 radio?? i tried many times to install cm6 in ra recovery rebooted by rom manager but when i flash the rom, it always show an error "status 7" and failed the cm6 installation

Try to install it but it doesnt matter it needs radio 3.22.xx.xx any version,ok wtich version of RA's recovery do you have you must installl the right one???And did you download the right files i can give you if you want to????
the recovery i flashed the ra recovery v1.7.0H by rom manager and then i try to install the rom. I almost sure i have the right files to apply the cm6. I dont understand why is the error "statues 7" when i flash the rom...
PLEASE HELP
Did you try to install CM6 via recovery? Here is the link to download all file and put them on the sdcard,shut down phone,boot to recovery(Home+POwer),there is option install from sdcard.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Upgrading_from_CyanogenMod_4.2_to_CyanogenMod_5/6
again and again always shows the same error...
i begin the phone in recovery(home and power) and try to install but when i flash the rom, in the midlle of instalation, error "status 7" instalation aborted
Maybe rom manager did something wrong, download eyegor's radio switcher, and flash only old recovery(search it here on forum for magic),download from page all files form my last post wipe all data(dont forget to do that),and then install like cyanogenmod said you should do
i couldnt made it, i think i give up, i am forced to stay in the 5.0.8 stable
Always show a error "status 7", instalation aborted in the cm6 rom...
It is better then to go on Rogers Android 2.1 then to stay on CM5 it is faster and has Sense UI (original HTC),if you want it i will tell you how to install it
if you dont mind i accept the help because im not an expert if you prefer you can send me a PM

Hi guys i have a HTC Magic that is rooted with custom recovery from mumilovers guide
and now i changed my hboot from HBOOT-1.76.0010 (SAPP50000)
to 1.76.2007 from another person who gave me a zip to put on so i can run roms ...
i am running a 2.1 sense rom now it won't see my phone while its on debugging i tried diff methods like turning it off turning the phone on then enabling before putting the usb it doesn't work
i would like to use psfreedom but this is really getting in the way.. or else is there another way i could flash recover on the phone itself with the recovery img
btw if any of you know can i use the newest psfreedom he just released on the latest firmware?
The 1.76.2007 is actually from the HTC Hero...
Just download the newest HTC sync, it will have the right drivers..
Make sure to remove all drivers first!
It should fix your problems....
Do also have troubles with fastboot?
You can also do the same steps from my guide to flash the psfreedom recovery...
There is no need for usb connection if you just manually put the recovery on the sdcard!
So this is my old phone and my friend tried to root it about a year ago and now it only gets stuck on the splash screen! I can get into hboot and flash boot mode but that's all I know how to do.
I have a Droid Razr and I've rooted and flashed it so I know about the process' but not for the MyTouch.
I've seen it makes a difference if I'm 32a or 32b so for reference I'm 32b. I'd just like to hopefully get it un-softbricked. And preferably without having to connect to a computer, but if need be I will ( I don't have a USB for this phone, but I can manage the micro-SD with my Razr.
Please help!!!

Well my boy since u said it flashed sucessfully the rest should now be cake.
I'm aasuming u have the android sdk on your computer with fastboot installed?
The next step now is to flash a new recovery which u already downloaded and how u do that is to put that .img file into your android sdk fastboot directory boot your phone into fastboot mode and open a command prompt in your fastboot directory and type these
Fastboot devices (to make sure its connected)
Fastboot flash recovery "name of your file"
If u have a sucess here u have flashed your new recovery and should be able to boot into it.
The next step now is to flash a new radio
AND THE LAST THING TO DO IS FLASH A SPL THAT CAN WORK WITH YOUR PHONE..
Post your info again the updated info.
ALTERNATIVLY TO ALL THAT DOWNLOAD A PROGRAM NAMED FASTBOOT COMMANDER BUT IT NEVER PICKS UP MY PHONE SO I DONT USE IT BUT IT MAKES ALL THAT EASIER...TRY IT

Edit #2: Successfully changed SPL i believe, updating phone info to reflect the change. Now im assuming i flash a ROM and i should be set???
Edit #3: I flashed that CronMod ROM you mentioned and when i boot, it sits on splash for like 10 secs and then reboots and its a continious loop. Im assuming that is probably just a bad flash? Im not used to AmonRa recovery. Is CWM still supported??
