If you get to step five or six and it wont write the recovery to the phone redo the first few steps.
I had the 1.76.0010 perfected SPL
32a Magic
It worked pretty good for me.

well i got root and installed the CyanogenMod 5.0.8-final Stable and not its just looping the "htc magic" boot thing i can still get into fastboot and that but wont get past boot

Try Booting into the recovery that you installed (end+home) and wipe your phone and davlik cache. Then re flash the ROM, if that doesnt work re-do what i just told you and try a differnt ROM.

ok so wiped with delvik cash and tryied 2 other roms and still no luck.. can you point me in the direction of a working rom for the rogers htc magic and then ill try that.
thanks for your help hope i can fix it

First of all make sure the roms your flashing are for the correct radio you have and spl (i have 6.35 and the 1.76.0007 spl.) Im using SuperEclair v8.2 and its great.

ok downloading the rom now.
my phone is
hboot-1.76.2007
cpld-12
radio-6.35.08.29

Defs the same as mine (i had my spl wrong in the previous post)

well its not looping now.. its just sitting at the "htc magic" screen been about 1 min now, does it take long the first boot?
**edit**
it seems to be working. DUDE!!! I FREAKIN LOVE YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHA you are my fav person in the world

A while, it will reboot twice while you see the htc magic logo. Just be patient and it will finish.

lol im still laughing!!! im so happy
whats your paypal e-mail im sending you 10$

Haha dont have one I just felt like being nice

well then thank you very much!

[Q] MT3G 1.2 Stuck @ Splash Screen

Hi all, thanks in advance for any help and my apologies if this exact problem has already been resolved. I searched through this forum and found issues *similar* to my problem but nothing exact enough for me to find a solution.
My experience with Android is limited but have quite a bit of terminal UNIX experience...so I'm not a total noob and I can follow directions pretty well.
I purchased a MT3G from someone and everything seemed to be in order when I checked it out (and the price was good, so I figured I didn't have much to lose). He was running Cyanogen Mod on there but of course I wanted to restore to factory settings and build it up from scratch on my own. Thinking that I knew what I was doing, I booted into Recovery (Home/End key simultaneously) with no issues and ran the factory reset utility, thinking that this would just drop the phone back to factory settings and I could re-root it from there. When I turn the phone back on, it just hangs at the "splash" screen and runs the animation over and over again.
I can still boot into Recovery and I can get into Fast Boot so I hope I am not bricked.
Here is the output I get from Fast Boot (attached file).
I tried to restore with a SAPPIMG.zip that I found but it said wrong device...
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

If you get an error, you need to download an engineering spl, and then try. (Engineering 2010 SPL)
The link and instructions are around somewhere on XDA.

Thanks for the help!
Unfortunately I already tried that and it didn't work, so I guess I'll install the Engineering SPL when I get home.
Shouldn't I in theory just be able to flash another ROM over this one and have everything be back to normal?

Yes sir, that is the easy way!
there are plenty of 1.6, and 2.2 roms out there.
Just download to sdcard, boot into recovery, wipe and flash

Don't flash any SPLs. Your fine as long as you've got a custom recovery. Just flash another ROM from there and make sure you wipe data, dalvik-cache, and cache before flashing. I've been running CyanogenMod 5.0.8 since the summer (CM6 ran like crap) and I've been happy with it so far.

Thanks for the advice guys.
Unfortunately I already flashed a different SPL and then un-rooted my device!
It works great, but now in order to get 2.2, I have to root it again which is a royal pain because I don't have a microSD reader and based on my research, the only way to root it it to make a goldcard!
Doh well! Learn something new everyday!

Not true you can root using the this app then use rom manager to install clockwork mod recovery. This is how I helped my friend root his device.
attached is the app

[Q] Help required if you could be so kind

Hiya guys,
I'm sorry that, like most other threads of this nature, my first post is a "HELP ME!" type affair.
Having issues with my HTC Vodafone Magic, when I turn it on it goes onto the Vodafone splash screen and no further.
Before I start asking about installing a new ROM and all that stuff (of which I have no clue whatsoever), I found this in the FAQ sticky and was wondering if it applies to me:
Q- I cant go past the first splash screen and i cant move into recovery or bootloader
A- Say goodbye to your phone, it is bricked.
Remedy- PM me maybe i can help you get a new phone (already got a new phone after bricking)

If I hold down the volume key and press the power button it goes into a white screen with what I'm assuming is the ROM data:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0004 (SAPH10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.23.02

---------------------------------
Is there any hope for fixing my phone?
Thanks for looking at this thread.
Tony

yes there is... you should be in a good shape...
What have you done to get to this state?

I'm unsure what you mean?

What have you done to get into this state...
E.g.
Did change anything in the rom?
Did you flash a sappimg.zip?
Did you just wake up and the device was like that?
Did your dog mess up your device while you were sleeping?
What did you do to get into this state?

My bad.
I bought the phone second hand, bloke said he'd tried updating the software but it hadn't worked.
My phone was working fine the other day, and mid-conversation on a phone call it turned itself off. Tried turning it back on but it just goes to the Vodafone splashscreen and no further.
Tried doing a hard reset, but the phone looks for some .zip files and says "no image found!" for every folder it looks through.
There was an App on the phone called Clockwork, which is something to do with ROM changing.
Cheers for your help so far!

You need to get fastboot up and running so that we can grab some information off the phone, but like mumi said, its fixable. Get fastboot installed (a search will aid you there) and myself or mumi will post back with what to do next. Hope your familiar with navigating DOS as your about to get a crash course if not.

you can fix it through fastboot.
try to flash recovery into your g2 first

Hiys guys, sorry for taking so long to get back.
Work has been hectic so unable to sort anything out, ended getting a Desire HD on contract in the end.
Will be keeping the Magic to play and learn with, but for the forseeable future I'm swamped with work, so I will get back on here and sort the thing out when I can.
Thanks for your help so far guys, I will return! DOS will be a new experience for me

[Q] I'm a little lost--could use some help

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:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-3.22.26.17

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:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-2.22.28.25

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

[Help] Phone wont boot.

Hi, after hours of researching to find the problem, i cant find it so as my last resort i will ask the mighty forums if there is anything they can do about it.
The problem is that its stuck in a boot loop, i can get in to bootloader and Hboot.
When i press to go in to recovery its just goes to the HTC logo and stays there.
When i try to do a factory reset same thing happened.
Anyway, the facts.
Its a DHD it used to have leedroid latest as rom, atm i have no idea it is supposed to be 1.32 stock rom for rooting and RADIO-26.14.04.28_M, kernel was also leedroid recommended but i guess that also is 1.32 stock.
It was ENG S-OFF but then i tried some PD98IMG and it changed to SHIP S-OFF
Things that i have tried.
Tried different PD98IMG to get the recovery working but nothing same thing happened there.
Tried patched/flashed the recovery part only with no luck.
Tried to get into recovery through pulling the battery inserting the usb and then inserting the battery again, no luck.
The odd thing is when i try to charge the phone and the led goes orange and when i pull the usb out it stays orange, it should turn off.
I suppose i ****ed something over but i have no clue of what that is?!?
Help would be most appreciated

I'm suggesting everyone to give this method a try although i have no experience with it but since it can be used to recover using computer i believe recovery isn't necessary here so that you can recover the firmware using the PC.
Hope this helps

Done and failed, same problem no difference what so ever.

SHIP S-OFF is OK!! U got it m8!
If you want to use your own Image do it within this way:
1. Flash this: http://www.multiupload.com/FKJ8B7Q0QM
and after this:
2. Flash this: http://www.multiupload.com/AURLLESU5V
And enjoy it! I don't know why the PD98IMG is not working on your device so I recomend to flash the RUU. Within the RUU you will also get the latest firmware for phone and wifi and so on. It's not a need, it's a must!
The 2nd ROM is same as above but it's ROOTED and contains the 4ext Recovery which will give you the option to flash whatever you want.
BUT!!! This ROM's are ORIGINAL. If you want to use a CUSTOM ROM I would recomend you will format your device by the 4ext Recovery or you are using the FULL WIPE 1.5.
Regards!

Sorry for the insane delay.
That did not work either, anyone else have any idea what to do, installing through PD98IMG.zip files seams not to work, will at this point do anything.
I'am a student so buying a new one is out of the question.

I tend to have to see things to understand them more. Maybe other people are similar. Is it possible you can video the process, put it on YouTube and some of the experts here can see it and talk you through it?

Just a simple start to show what the hell is wrong with it.

Here's me trying factory reset but failed, stuck at the same place as before.
youtube.com/watch?v=aZF1ALz0Z-w
Here is where i go into fastboot, just to show that i can do it and then back again to try recovery, same problem...
Anymore info you need, next time i will answer much faster, anyway there the problem it gets stuck on HTC logo forever, no restart no nothing...

when you flashed PD98IMG.zip does it give you a cid error?. If this is the error then a gold card needs to be made for your device first, then you flash the RUU.

Back again.
No CID error, its skips something called TP when i try to flash it.
I can use any simcard, its an unbranded phone i believe.
And also if it is to any help, when i plug my charger in the phone and then back out again, the little orange led keeps emitting light, as if it stills charging.

My English is not very good.
I want to know what did you do for it before its stuck in a boot loop?
You can get into HBOOT and connect the phone to the computer,then try to run RUU.Before you do this,make sure you have make golden card.

Try another pd zip..i came across a few corrupt ones,the answers in this site somewhere alterbatively google the sentence you want the answer to..or the key words,if the systems still working theres a 98% chance youll get it going boot loops from what i see are just a file or something causing chaos..once its gone voila.
Good luck

Enter hboot and paste exactly what it says in there.
SHIP AND ENG don't matter as long as it's S-OFF. If you can't access recovery and if you're unable for some reason to flash a PDimg, download AAHK and use it to unroot. That will hopefully get you into the stock ROM and S-ON of course.
Use AAHK again to root. You will still have access to your stock ROM.
Now here's the tricky part. If the phone won't boot at all that probably means there's nothing to boot at all. Happened to me a lot of times. If you can still get into hboot then don't panic. See if AAHK will help you out.
