Ok guys i am sorry to bother all of you but i made a stupid mistake. i think i didnt slept well.
So instead of wiping out my SD Card in recovery mode, something got into me to wipe the misc,recovery,data,cache and everything!
I have access to FASTBOOT and the info is as follows:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP100000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
version-main: 2.16.707.3
Is there any method i can unbrick my phone?
Goldcard.
Or setup ANDROIDSDK, put the custom recovery in the tools folder, open a command prompt there and type "fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img" and reflash your ROM.

thanks for the advice i will try it
hi it would seem that i can find a recovery image here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492 and install it.
i can get to home + power = clockwork mod recover v 2.5.0.1
i can install a zip from sdcard but after reboot it still shows the HTC Magic screen!
ok if i remember what i did wrongly this is what i did
in partitions i:
format boot
format system
format dat
format cache
format sdcard
format sd-ext
after this i can still get into recovery. can my phone be saved?
Yes it can... easy :0)
1) download CM 6.1 ROM from here: http://goo-inside.me/cm/dream_sapphire/stable/update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip
2) Also download the EBI1 kernel from here: http://briancrook.ca/android/cm-ports/bc-6.1.0-ebi1-signed.zip
3) Restart into recovery
4) wipe ALL <- important
5) flash the ROM
6) flash the EBI1 kernel
7) reboot and you should be OK.
thanks! i will give it a try.
hi i am able to boot into this rom. but this rom is not quite usable. it doesnt have a market place and all. what do i do with this rom?
Sorry, i forgot about the gapps :0)
gapps = google applications
Flash this from recovery:

You should now have a fully funtional rom by CyanogenMod(CM)
Source: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_version#EBI1CM6
thanks so much for the help. one thing i notice is that the clorkwerk recovery couldnt be installed properly.
what is a more stable ROM that you should advise that i use for long term?
There are many options to chose from.
You got the 32A board - CPLD-12.
You can use the new radio / old radio combos to chose from many different roms.
But to stick to your original problem, i think the main problem was that you did not wipe correctly causing the new rom to fail.
Always remember to wipe when installing a new rom unless it known to be "upgradable" from earlier versions/roms.
I will read around the forums and have a look at the development section for other roms.
For the old radio combo which you currently have, i will dare to claim that the CM 6.1 is the best choice!
But again, i bet that there are many willing to dispute that postulation :0)
hi mumilover, i am sorry for the noob question but when u say wipe what do you mean specifically?
because i did a :
format boot
format system
format dat
format cache
format sdcard
format sd-ext
am i suppose to wipe that much things? i suppose system, cache and dat can wipe but should i format the boot and system?

I have a original nytouch 3g rooted, just flashed to the cm6-rc2, it worked fine EXCEPT there's NO market app and gmail app. so i went online to ask and some1 said to install market and gmail i need to have Gapps installed and he showed me to go to Rom manager to get those. I went there and saw google app but to be able to install it, it said i must have the ClockworkMod installed first, so i did then it prompt to reboot the phone...i hit OK to reboot it and the phone just got STUCK on the Booting loop, never got to the home screen, i assumed i bricked the damn phone. basically, iam screwed..please anyone help me to fix it, PLEASE..thanks alot
Can u get into recovery or anything? That shouldn't brick your phone. U need to go to amonra 1.7.0 recovery. Forget that method of gapps. Just download and flash the link. People have been having a lot of problems with your method

well, i tried to turn on the phone by holding home+power, it went to this screen:

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1
if i try to select reboot system now, it wont work, it'll will boot but got stuck on boot screen forever.
i did try to select "wipe data/factory reset" then "wipe cache partition" then select "intall zip form sdcard" then it takes me to my sdcard that shows this:
Choose a zip to apply
-Android/
-clockworkmod/
-dcim/
-lost.dir/
-update-cm-6.0.0-DS-RC2-signed
I select "update-cm-6.0.0-rc2..", wait for it to flash then reboot and the phone still gets stuck on boot screen, seems like nothing fixed..
I assumed the issue is the ClockworkMod messed everything up, but i just don't know how to get rid of it....
sigh....so frustrated...i had an iphone before and it's so simple, if you mess up just restore via itunes and everything goes back to stock.. anyway, please help anyone...please
Did u try downloading amonra 1.7.0 and flashing it?
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
Did u do a nandroid backup before u flashed the Rom? If u did just restore. If u can I have RA-sapphirev-1.7.0g as my recovery. Same phone as u. You're not bricked. Just need to undo what u did.
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
no, i didn't do any backups...stupid me..is there any other way to fix when i don't hava a backup?
Can you get your sdcard to show up on your computer? If you can. Try wiping everything in recovery. Re-partition your sdcard leaving the values as they are. Then download cyanogen 5.0.8 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688262 putting that on your sdcard and flashing it to see if it boots up. Also this is the recovery you should have stayed with. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492 and need to go back to. Page also has instructions on different ways to flash it. Let us know what happens. Use g version at top of downloads btw
Make sure that while in recovery you flash the 5.0.8.zip and then flasht the Google Add-on .zip before rebooting.
Actually I flashed them separate and all was well. Just trying to get you into the os so u can flash the recovery and get rid of Rom manager. If u can't get your sdcard on your comp to load another Rom to boot u might have to change your recovery through fastboot. Then flash new Rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719. More info on fastboot flashing ect.

thanks alot guys for helping, i got it worked again, though. i load cm5.0.8 on another sdcard and flash it, it finally booted to the home screen..however, when i tried to go to recovery screen again by holding home+power to flash gapps app, i still see the white "clockworkmod.." on top and bottom of the recovery screen though...weird..is there anyway to get rid of it??? cause' i think it's installed on my phone but don't know how to go in my phone to delete it. any ideas?? thanks
U still have that recovery flashed to your phone. Download the one I posted put on sdcard and use terminal method on that thread to flash
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
clock work is fine.... do u still see the options u have? install from zip? after downloading gapp or roms correctly... go into download folder, locate gapp or roms n flash.
by downloading correctly means... having good internet connection and not having data shifting from 3g to e to wateva. plus dont do anything else beside the download. if u lose connection or shifting in connection speed... cancel download n redownload...this will keep download file from getting corrupted during download process... for future referrence - u should do this to everydownload

We were able to flash Amon Ra (recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H.img) following this method How To: Root the HTC Magic in One Click!.
After that my coworker tried to flash this ROM (SuperflyTCBY1.1DSF) from the recovery, but after flashing, it couldn't boot. It is now always stuck at TIM logo. Than we tried flashing again some ROMs which doesnt require new radio but nothing seems to help.
We can access recovery and hboot, so is there any hope ? Anyone has some idea what we could do ?
It means that the Rom you flashed seems not suitable. Or may be it requires full wipe but u did not.
Try to reflash the rom with full wipe in recovery, if still can not run, chose other 3.22 ROM
Good luck

I forgot to mention that before every ROM flash we did 'factory reset' and 'wipe dalvik cache' from the recovery, but still no go.
Could you recommend any good 3.22 [32A] ROM ?

I did not use 3.22 radio so I don't know.
I think u should wipe all in recovery, not only dalvik cache.
Also u may need to change your phone from S-ON to S-Off in order to remove app from system
How is this Development related???
Moving to GENERAL

Wrong and wrong. You only need to have security turned off to run fastboot commands. Your fine with only wiping data and dalvik-cache. Can't recommend any ROMs but there should be a list available in the ROM Bible which is stickied in the Development forum.

I have Desire with S-ON, installed LeeDroid 2.2. When I removed app in system such as Calculator, News, Voice,.. by Titanium or deleted by Root Explorer, the icons still there and the app still run. They said that If I want to delete these apps, I need to get S-Off first.

Flash in this order without any reboots:
1) rom
2) kernel
3) gapps
4) Wipe <-- VERY IMPORTANT
reboot and you should be good to go...

Hello,ive installed gingerbread yoshi rom,but i want to delete it and install the cyanogen mod rom(stable),for my mytouch 3g original.Now how can i do this?ive looked anfd foudn nothing,and also,the downloaded file(rom)from cyanodegn mod rom its 55 mb's,so i just put the whole zip folder into the root of the memory card and go into recovery mode and install from zip?anyways i hope somebody can help,thanks
The only thing you need to do is to put the cyanogen.zip into the root of your sdcard and then boot into recovery and select "flash .zip".
Next time you flash a custom rom I recommend you to make a nandroid backup (this will backup all data including rom). If you don't like the rom you just flashed you are able to recover nandroid backup.
i did that and it gets stuck on the green mytouch screen.i wiped all data,cache partition,then intalled rom from zip and nothing

First, I would superwipe. You can download it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834812
Boot into recovery, and assuming you are on amon_ra or clockworkmod recovery, choose intall from zip and run superwipe. Power down the phone and boot back into recovery. Now install Cyanogen mod and you should be fine.
Make sure you have the right cm file for your phone. I don't recall seeing what version of the mytouch you have. For example, if you have the original mytouch with the 32B, and If you updated the radio and spl when you installed Yoshi ginger, make sure you get the cyanogem mod 6.1 for the 2708 radio.
Good luck.
try yoshi froyo
Sorry, forgot to add this....
you may also want to try Yoshi Froyo rather than cyanogenmod.

What's your fastboot info? Turn the phone on holding (back+power) and post that here.
Hey Guys,
Newb here. My head hurts from banging my head half the night trying to figure out what went wrong. It's probably something simple but I just can't figure it out. I'm now at the mercy of you guys.
Everything went fine until I added the rom and reboot all it does it stick at the Mytouch 4G splash screen no matter how long I let it sit. I have no problem getting back to recovery mode and I can also get into clockworkmod and tell it to boot the rom. Then it just hangs at splash screen

Here are my steps for getting a rom to load.
1.Hold volume down and power.
2.Boots into recovery
3.Choose Recovery which loads ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.4
4.Wipe data/factory reset (seems to work fine)
5.Wipe Cache (seems to work fine)
6.Wipe Dalvik Cache (Get E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext])(Dalvik Cache Wiped)
7.Install zip from SDCARD
8.choose zip from SDCARD (RoyalGiner_v3.0_final.zip)
9 installs fine (Install from sdcard complete)
10. reboot system now
11 Hangs at Tmobile Mytouch 4G splash screen
Any guiadance would be awesome.
Lots of thanks in advance!
Download the rom again from your computer and place it in your sdcard and wipe cache/data and try flashing again.

Your steps look perfectly fine. I would delete the zip and re-download it. You probably just have a bad download. If that doesn't work, try a different ROM and see if you get the same issue. You aren't getting any bad errors, so I am still sticking with bad download.
Make sure to check the MD5SUM.
What i do when i flash a new ROM is this
Download the ROM to the computer
Code:
c:\adb adb push <rom_name>.zip /mnt/sdcard
it will kick out a reading that it pushed so many Kb in so many seconds
Code:
c:\adb adb shell
# md5sum /mnt/sdcard/<rom_name>.zip
it will kick out the MD5SUM of that .zip
Then i will copy the md5SUM from on the CMD prompt then "crtl &f " find the MD5SUM on the page that i got the ROM from. To make sure they 100% match.
then
Code:
# reboot recovery
then from there i do a factory reset and wipe the Dalvik cache. Then flash the ROM & G/APPS (if needed)
Thanks for the tips guys. I've tried multiple roms and all result in the same stuck splash screen. I guess tonight I will install the SDK stuff and give adp a try and see what I can come up with. I guess I missed something when doing the visionary/Gfree root. I followed this guys videos Mackster248 off youtube. Everything seemed to work but I guess something is wrong somewhere lol...

Just in the future, make sure that you check the md5sum of the download before flashing it so you will save time if its a corrupted download. And definatly make a backup with rom manager before wiping/flashing new roms.
I really appreicate the help guys. Yesterday I was able to download PD15IMG.zip recovery file and when I booted into recovery mode it detected it reverted everything back to square besides the S-OFF. Im going to attempt to root it again at a later date. I think to learn alittle more Im going to take my old mytouch g3 and mess with it.
Again Thanks
Hi there, I have tried to run clockworkmod recovery to flash a new rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882356 the ezGingerbread v1.0)
Here's what I've done in order:
- root with SOC
- reboot in recovery mode
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- reboot
- download and install CWM Rom Manager from market
- flashed clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7 from Rom manager (it says it was successful)
- tried to install rom from sd card - no luck
- tried to backup existing rom (full cleared stock 2.2.1)
none of the above mentioned two was working.
my Magic stops with red vodafone logo at startup and that's all. (in the upper left corner there is "fastboot usb" to read but that's red too.)
any help appreciated.

Yeah, make sure you're flashing the right version of the recovery. I personally like Amon Ra's recovery better, just make sure you flash the right one. G if your phone is a 32B, H if it's a 32A.
I'll be moving this to General since it's not development related.
it's a 32B (google branded) and it is S-ON (if that matters)
amon ra's recovery I can't install, as:
- it doesn't have engineerings spl
- it doesnt't have any custom recovery
- and finally altough I installed the terminal the last method still don't work.
