Help: Flashed a bad radio and bricked my phone

SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP50000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-2.22.23.02
I flashed the 2.22.23.02 through fastboot by mistake and now I can't get into recovery mode, or flash any other radios onto the phone. The fastboot menu is the only thing I can get to on the phone.
I tried reflashing the 2.22.23.02 again but it won't go through...
Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to unbrick it?
Edit: Tried sappimg.nbh via volume down and power button but i get a Model ID error. Now i can't fastboot anything over to my phone.
Edit: Flashed the sappimg.nbh, sappimg 2.16.707.3, sappimg 2.53.707.2, via gold card but I now get the error: Main Version is older!

I have answered similar questions before...
Use the search function.
But to get you started here is a quick solution.
1) flash eng spl that starts with 1.33.20XX where XX can be 05,09 or 10.
Restart into fastboot.
2) flash the right spl/radio/recovery combo.
This is confirmed to work....
Next time post ALL fastboot info... there are some info mission in your post!

all the fastboot info...

I have just tried flashing hboot-1.33.2010 via fastboot.
However, I get the error message:
sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... FAILED (remote: not allow)

do this:
----- If you boot into fastboot and have issues with "fastboot:remote not allow", then your SPL won't work. Upgrade to Engineering SPL before continuing.
----- If you do not have an Engineering SPL, download 1.33.2010 and flash through recovery before starting this procedure. Flash the SPL update.zip like any other update.zip file.
in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239

Unfortunately... I can't boot into recovery either, nor can i push a recovery image to the phone. I get the same error: "fastboot:remote not allow".

ok... you are very limited...
Do this:
Find a suitable sappimg.nbh... Not sappimg.zip...
Use this which i just uploaded for you:
http://rapidshare.com/files/421772202/SAPPIMG.nbh
Using your goldcard flash the sappimg.nbh in fastboot.
The sappimg.nbh does not need any unzipping... it's a complete img of the nand and overwrites everything.

I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere....
is there a way to create a goldcard at this point for me?
I can't get into debug mode on the phone (for obvious reasons) and therefore can't do adb....

Find ANY android device and make a goldcard...
Then use the goldcard on your device...

wouldn't suppose anyone have the goldcard.img from their email that they could send me...

1)Download the -G magic RA recovery
2) rename it to recoveryG.img
3) run 'fastboot boot recoveryG.img' (with the phone in fastboot mode)
4) allow recovery to boot then run the following adb commands
Code:
adb push recoveryG.img /tmp/recoveryG.img
adb flash_image recovery /tmp/recoveryG.img
5) Now power down the phone
6) boot into recovery by holding home+power
10) flash 1.33.2009 or 1.33.2010
Now you will have fastboot again
Most likely you will want to find and flash via fastboot radio 3.22.20.17 if you are not a Rogers/Fido customer or have signed the e911 wavier, otherwise you want 3.22.26.17..
After flashing the 3.x radio flash RA -h recovery via fastboot (and while in fastboot run 'fastboot erase system -w'); this will let you flash the ebi1 rom of choice

I just downloaded the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img
renamed it so recoveryG.img.
When i try to run the command: fastboot boot recoveryG.img
I get the error message:
downloading 'boot.img'...FAILED (remote: not allow)

Then its best to just install the official e911 ruu from rogers and re-root

I have tried that, but it doesn't work...

What's your fastboot info?

Yes, I'm also not sure why people are ignoring that fact that you can't use fastboot either :-S

My bad, using my phone and completely missed the first page.
EDIT: I think mum was on the right track. Your going to need a goldcard. No one will be able to send you their .img because its SD card specific. You don't know anyone with a Android based phone?

Looks like i'm getting progress....?
I have a gold card now thanks to my friend, however...
when I try to flash the SAPPIMG.nbh I get a Main Version is older!
I also tried the 2.53.707.2 SAPPIMG.zip and I still get this error.
I also just tried 2.16.707.3 SAPPIMG.zip and I still get this error.

YOU ARE STILL MAKING THE GOLDCARD THE WRONG WAY...
You should not get that error msg...
Try to remake the goldcard.

Did it on two different SD cards, the same way I did it before to get my phone off perfected SPL... not sure what I could've done to do it wrong this time around.....
a mmc CID can't change right?
followed this guide:

[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...

How did you get this info....
I don't believe that rom-manager has the power to **** up your fastboot.
Recovery and system, maybe - but not fastboot.
When you hold back-button and power-button together what do you see?
Write it down here or take a picture or what ever...
Can you see fastboot?
If you can't see anything beside flash screen then i can't help you!

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

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:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
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.

[Q] Magic - Fastboot: FAILED (remote: not allowed)

Hi there,
I'd like to update to a newer Android Version. So as I read I have to flash a new recovery first. I tried to create a gold card in order to flash this new recovery but I still get an error when I use fastboot.
I read several tutorials and threads in this forum but i couldn't find the right answer. I hope someone can help me.

You said you have a Goldcard already, right?
Also, only do this if your Magic is a 32B. If it's a 32A, you're bricked for life (and I'm not responsible). It says on the fastboot screen which you are.
If it is a 32B, get the first download from the NBH/ZIP section of this thread <a href=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218>here</a> (Make sure to read the warnings at the top) and put it on your normal SD card.
Then, boot into HBOOT mode by either
1. Booting into Fastboot mode and pushing volume down.
2. Booting phone with volume down pressed.
It should find the sappimg after a minute. If not, make sure the sappimg is on the SD card not in any folders and also that it's named SAPPIMG.zip.
Choose yes to all the questions. If it has an error, reboot and try again or try it on a Goldcard.
Now fastboot should work and you can do whatever.

If you have custom recovery (AmonRa or Clockworkmod), then you are lucky.
If not, then you must install official ROM: 3.12.531.1 T-Mobile USA FRG83D
http://www.4shared.com/file/j64ygA9t/RUU_Sapphire_T-Mobile_US_31253.html
After that, you can root phone with SuperOneClick, then install custom recovery, and custom rom (via custom recovery)

I already rooted using superone click but my phone wont boot after I tried to flash a rom how do I get it to boot up and work again I'm freaking out oh an I have clockwork recorvery image that's how I tried to flash the rom but i dont have a goldcard can i still use the same method can u give me a walk through or is there a way using clockwork mod

If you have custom recovery - just flash custom rom via it.
P.s. but choose appropriate rom (with tags 32b)

I have a sappimg.zip that is actually trying to flash except it starts to hang when it updates the radio. It will sit there for forever. I have left it going and the battery will die before it will finish updating the radio. I have been at this for quite a while now and really need help. I know I am supposed to be able to find a matching radio and spl. I tried flashing just the eng spl first, doesn't really do anything it just goes back to hboot. I have tried using fast boot and because it s-on it says no remote. I have tried going into the RUU usb mode and tried booting a recovery but it just sits there. It says it's booting but nothing happens. I did flash a recovery but that was with a 2.22 radio so I am guessing that the new radio that shouldn't be on there is messing it up. What else can i do here? I really need help!

I have been trying to flash everything under the sun and when I do flash the proper sappimg.zip it just hangs when updating the radio and it hangs at like 97 percent and will not go any further no matter how long it's there.
To sum up. Followed this tutorial before and that's how I got here in the first place, because I thought I was following the right instructions to be able to get ginger yoshi but it turns out, my phone isn't what I thought it was.

Did you create goldcard properly?

HAAAAAAAA! SCREW ALL THAT .
I have the Mytouch 3G 1.2 (3.5mm Headphone jack) .
it was running android 2.2.1 and i used SuperoneClick root, then downloaded Rom Manager changed my Recovery and flashed ezGingerbread .
SIMPLE!

That's great and all but I would like help. I do not care about how awesome you are. I was unable to do superoneclick for some reason when I downgraded to 1.6. Nothing would work right. Rom manager would force close, universal androot would say that the phone was rooted and superoneclick would say that it wasn't.
Stuck in Ruu can't flash anything. Gets stuck on radio flash. Help. Accidentally flashed 32b board and chip files.
I did create a goldcard properly because i've used it over and over again without fail. It just hangs when flashing and doesn't finish flashing the radio.

Did you ever read tutorial?
The steps to follow:
1) Read and understand the above.
2) Rename special_sappimg.zip to sappimg.zip
3) Make sure that you have a working goldcard and flash the sappimg.zip
The device should reboot by it's self. If you get any error saying model id is no correct, you have a faulty goldcard. Also, please verify that the spl has changed to 1.76.xxxx. (flash by holding volume decrease (-) together with power and wait for the hboot to automatically pick up the file)
4) Once the device has rebooted, you should rename the 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip to sappimg.zip and flash it using the goldcard. This image should give you an eng spl. If you device will not accept it/or you wish to have stock image, then rename the stock sappimg(2.10.531.4) to sappimg.zip and flash it the same way as the special sappimg.
5) If you indeed get the eng spl, then you have full control and we can do almost anything we want. Just post here and we can take it from there. The eng spl has the following nr: 1.33.2010.
If you flashed the stock sappimg, then you only need to root and flash custom recovery and you should almost be there... also here post the progress and we will take it from there.
After item 2 you must flash in hboot-mode (Turn off, then turn on by pressing VolumeDown + Power)
Please read always carefully, try to understand process and don't rush...

I cannot follow those steps to the T. I am stuck in RUU mode on my phone. So I cannot get back to the Hboot. I have been trying to flash everything with fastboot commander. I have a working gold card, just can't get back to where i can access it via phone. When I did have it working though, it was giving the same problem. It would just hang when trying to update the radio.
I have read and understood this particular tutorial. Infact it was the first I found after this particular problem started to occur. However, when I renamed and tried the files it would give the same error with the gold card. I have even, formatted and redone the gold card, which has always worked. Now I am stuck in Ruu and I do not think i can get access back to the bootloader.

Turn phone off (Remove battery, wait 2-3 minutes, place it back)
Turn on by pressing and holding Volumedown + power
What happening in this moment?

It goes straight to Ruu mode, no matter what i press or what buttons I hold down or no matter how long I leave the battery out.

Try to run (it should escape from ruu-mode)
Code:
fastboot oem boot
Then turn off (cause phone is bootlooping) and load into hboot-mode

i got a bunch of text in the command prompt when I tried to run it that made it look like it was going to do it, then it just hung and did nothing.
Still in Ruu mode.

Once you are stock in ruu mode, you kinda fu*ked.
You need hboot and goldcard to fix the problem.
There is a command called: fastboot oem resetRUUflag
Try it out, but most likely it is not permitted...

I cannot follow those steps to the T. I am stuck in RUU mode on my phone. So I cannot get back to the Hboot. I have been trying to flash everything with fastboot commander. I have a working gold card, just can't get back to where i can access it via phone. When I did have it working though, it was giving the same problem. It would just hang when trying to update the radio.
I have read and understood this particular tutorial. Infact it was the first I found after this particular problem started to occur. However, when I renamed and tried the files it would give the same error with the gold card. I have even, formatted and redone the gold card, which has always worked. Now I am stuck in Ruu and I do not think i can get access back to the bootloader.

hmm if by now you havnt been able to access your phone, then maby perhaps you can do so by the commmand "" fastboot oem boot""

i have the same problem with this. STUCK IN RUU MODE!!!!
BUT I can open my phone via "fastboot oem boot". The only problem is whenever my phone has been turned off, it STUCKED in RUU MODE, so I need to go through "fastboot oem boot" again just to open my phone.
here's my device:

HTC Magic stuck at Vodafone screen - only fastboot - no recovery

Hi there,
i have a HTC Magic here. When starting up it get's stuck at the Vodafone screen. I can't enter the recovery-mode.
I'm able to enter hboot and fastboot - the screen shows the following:
Code:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0014 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-6.35.08.29
I thought 32A is H only, and 32B is G? :silly:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 3.12.0.0
While in fastboot-usb-mode i can see the phone on my pc (i used the android-sdk-driver, now my phone shows up as "Android Bootloader Interface") with:
Code:
fastboot devices
MB2********* fastboot
but it doesn't show up here (while phone is in hboot-mode or fastboot-usb-mode):
Code:
adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
NBH-files on the sd-card are rejected with "Main version is older". Any command for flashing or booting with fastboot end up in "command error" or "remote: not allowed" or something like that.
Most recovery-tutorials say that i need adb and fastboot - but as i said adb doesn't work. Other tutorials say i need a NBH-file, but all of those are rejected with "Main version is older". I also tried some sappimg.zip-files, but the phone shows up an error-message for a very short time ("wrong zipped...", i'm not able to read that so fast).
I also got a goldcard, but this didn't change anything.
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
cid: VODAP102
Is there any help for me and my phone (step by step with needed files)? :laugh:

I've got the same problem. It's been almost a month now and still no luck.
Did your problem start when you unlocked your bootloader? That's when mine started.

It was the phone of a friend of mine and it already worked with some custom rom. But (if i understood right) he erased everything with fastboot.
I don't know if this is really version 32A, because "G" should always be with 32B. The other thing is that the phone is from Vodafone Germany, but in Germany there normally is no 32A - it's only 32B. That's why i don't really know which files to use for the phone.
Did you already make your goldcard? And if so, do you know if it's working?

I still have the goldcard I originally used to put cyonogenmod on my phone, but it's not working now. I bought a new sdcard and made a new goldcard but it won't work either.

try to remove the battery for 5 mins, when is removed click some times power button; reinsert battery and try to go in recovery.... i had same problem and i solved with this method

@ dante96: No, that's not working for me - still just get the Vodafone screen. I think that everything on the phone was erased and without recovery on it i won't be able to recovery-mode, am i right?
Yesterday something weird happened. I just tried a
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and i got a lot of output - about CID, SuperCID, device-number, partitions and whatever, but i hadn't the time to copy that or try other things.
I tried that command again later and just got "remote: not allowed". It seems like i missed a chance to recover the phone yesterday. :crying:

Ok, what i know right now:
My phone does take sappimg.zip after command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
BUT:
My phone is not 32A as shown, it's 32B - i can't flash files for 32A because of "Lack of heap", so the files seem to be to big to unzip to RAM.
That's why i can't flash 3.54.527.6 BrightStar Brazil or 3.54.631.3 Rogers Canada to get it running.
For 32B there is only one official rom higher than 3.12.0.0:
3.12.531.1 T-Mobile USA FRG83D
Tried to flash this one, it's updating boot und bootloader but after unzipping radio the screen turns black and nothing happens - tried it 3 or 4 times right now.
This got me from:
Code:

And i know that my Goldcard is correct - with another SD-card i just get "wrong model id" with the sappimg.zip mentioned above (3.12.531.1 T-Mobile USA FRG83D).
Does anyone have an idea what to do next or why screen turns black?
Some of the official roms for 32A are splittet into one 10 MB and one 90 MB file (for example this one "RUU_Sapphire_Rogers_WWE_3.05.631.7_R_release_signed_NoDriver.exe"), i think i could flash those - BUT i can't find those files for 3.54.527.6 BrightStar Brazil or 3.54.631.3 Rogers Canada. Anyone does?

Can you get those files from the temp folder?
5[Strogino] said:
1. Run Ruu
2. Don't flash, but go to temp folder and search for rom.zip or nbh-file
3. Rename to SAPPIMG.ZIP (if zip) or SAPPIMG.NBH (if nbh).
4. Place file to root it sdcard. Exit from ruu.
5. Turn phone off, then turn on by pressing and holding volumedown + power
6. Phone will start into hboot-mode and search for rom. Then it will flash.

Check htcdev.com under the unlock bootloader section for files.

Got mine back to life.
I flashed SPL 1.76.0013 from htcdev.com (Vodafone generic) and tried to install "3.12.531.1 T-Mobile USA FRG83D" again. With this SPL he managed to flash the radio but aborted afterwards.
Back on 1.33.0013 i tried the same rom again, now he flashed all of it. The phone is working so far - now i have to try to get a non-perfect SPL on it and afterwards a custom rom...
Code:
sapphire pvt 32b ship s-on g
hboot-1.33.0013 (sapp10000)
cpld-10
radio-2.22.28.25

Was the Bootloader locked or unlocked when you got that to work?

I flashed the SPL from htcdev when it was locked. Then they sent me an unlock-token which i just tried, so it was unlocked afterwards.
But i think i had to lock it again with
Code:
fastboot oem lock
to let the phone take those sappimg.zip without error.
Now i'm stuck again - i want Cyanogenmod on the HTC. But i can't get a non-perfect SPL with update.zip on it (and also no engineering SPL), in recovery-mode it just says "E: Signature verification failed - installation aborted" - but those SPL are signed.
Looks like i have to read some more.

Did you rename the engineering SPL to sappimg.zip and try it in HBoot?

No, copied it to SD-card and renamed it to "update.zip". Then i bootet in Recovery-Mode with Home+Power and applied the update.zip from SD-card. This gave me the error from above.
I think the phone won't take it in hboot when it's renamed to sappimg.zip.

If you SPL is perfected you need to follow these instructions
1. Create a Goldcard.
2. Copy the required sappimg.nbh/zip to the Goldcard.
3. Boot your phone while holding the VOLUME-DOWN key.
4. Press the ACTION KEY (=trackball) to start the update.
5. Wait until the update completes and press the ACTION KEY (=trackball) to reboot your phone.
6. (Upgrade to the rooted ROM of your choice).

That didn't work, because my main-version was to high.
I rootet the phone with this tutorial and got the recovery on my phone.
Afterwards i installed an engineering SPL in recovery-mode. With this i got back to "1.91.162.1 Vodafone Germany DRC92".
I rootet the phone again with the tutorial above and installed Cyanogenmod.
Everything working fine! :angel:

Good to hear you got it working.
I got my mainver from 3.12.0.0 to 3.57.0.0 by getting the file from the temp folder but it didn't really help me.
I think the problem must be the goldcard. I'll try borrowing my Dad's phone this weekend and see if I can fix it.
