Damn, I hate members like you.
a) You don't even tell us what you did wrong
b) What does this have ANYTHING TO DO TO BELONG IN THE MAGIC DEVELOPMENT?
I am sorry that I did not mention the whole story.
Where should I post this message to? myTouch 3G, Magic General?
I am using "Super-Hero (Build By AhmgskMod)" before came into this situation, I found that the phone can boot, and looping in the htc Magic screen.
Show I tried to wipe and flash the rom again. I flashed the rom for 5-6 times, but it still won't boot..
At the last one I tried to flash another rom from XDA, I found the sdcard can't mount in recovery mode. And I go to fastboot mode, S-ON is observed.
I flash my phone with sappimg.zip in hboot mode (Sdcard file can be loaded). Now I am with the rom in (RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_304401), but the sdcard is not mounted after I boot up my phone.
I believe that this issue is due to the S-ON hboot, I am finding some way to flash the hboot again (I tried -- fastboot NOT OK, recovery can't mount sd)
Seek for help. Thank you very much.

u still hav hero recovery??? ( custom recovery)
Yes, I have the hero recovery (custom), I flash in by boot the hero recovery in fastboot, and flash using:
adb push recovery.img /
adb shell flash_image recovery /recovery.img
The problem is I cannot access to sdcard in recovery mode, also can't use the sdcard when I boot up the phone.
Updated: I copy the rom.zip and rom1.zip from RUU update. The rom.zip container radio and hboot. Should I flash the rom.zip in hboot, to recovery the radio and hboot?
s-on + no sd card.
This problem seems to be experienced by many people in the process of upgrading to the new radio. I have experienced it myself and i never managed to solve it. Luckily i manafed to get a replacement phone. I am still afraid of upgrading the radio on my new device in fact. I think that this seems to be a common problem which deserves to be given more attention by the devs. I. Believe there were a couple of people on the forum who managed to fix it but they are few and far between.
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
There's been quite a few SD card problem forum threads. Try harder next time.
xaueious, Thank you very much! Now I can access the sdcard! I will try harder to search in forum before asking question next time.
And thank you for the support of everyone in this post too.
This command was not recognized by the phone in my case. It's not always that simple to solve. It would be better to know what causes it in the first place so that people can avoid it.

Now I can use the rom in (RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_304401), I use hboot mode and flash the rom1.zip from the captioned rom (renamed to sappimg.zip)
But I can't start any custom rom for new radio from XDA here (installed in recovery mode, update from zip). It just stuck at the htc Magic screen, can't boot into phone.
My SPL/Hboot is still 1.76.2007 S-ON. I have tried flash the "update-hboot-1762007-signed.zip" in recovery mode, but the Hboot is still S-ON.
I believe the problem is due to the S-ON Hboot, so I can't start any custom rom. Any way I can turn the Hboot to S-OFF?
Thank you!
Update to Amon_RA's newest hero recovery. You should be able to mount your SD card in that.
Thank you sindrefyrn. I updated to the latest RA hero recovery.
I can mount sdcard with hero recovery 1.5.3.1 too.
But problem is I can't boot my phone with custom rom, only stock rom will work.
My ENG SPL 1.76.2007 is S-ON instead of S-OFF.
I will tried to flash the RUU update to replace my existing radio and SPL tomorrow, my home PC using win7 and can't verify my phone while RUU update, I will tried it tomorrow in office with winXP.
Hope it works, will report here.

You can flash a RUU with higher manversion then your previous ROM.
I often find that when I go into recovery my sdcard is not mounted. The solution (for me) is to:
adb shell
mount /sdcard
exit
And that's it.
No idea why the sdcard is mounted sometimes but not other times though

Is that mean I can't downgrade my SPL and radio?
I can't use fastboot to flash my SPL and radio, because S-ON SPL not allow me to do so.
Could I copy the rom.zip from RUU which contain SPL and radio, then renamed it to sappimg.zip and flash in Hboot mode?
The only thing I want to do is change my SPL back to S-OFF. What can I do?
Thank you for your help.
update: Is there any SPL.zip I can use to flash my SPL in recovery mode?
update 2: I tried flash the ENG SPL 2007.zip in recovery mode, but it can't change my SPL back to S-OFF. Is it because the SPL are in same version, so, I am not upgrading my SPL by this action?

No reason you can't downgrade your SPL and radio that way, as long as the mainver of the RUU you're flashing is newer than your current.

Yes, that's possible. However, the mainver still needs to be higher than your current.

That only works with the 1.76.xxxx SPL, which he has.
From personal experience, I can tell you that I screwed my phone up by flashing hboot and radio in the wrong order.. Ultimately, it prevented me from flashing the Hero recovery... So basically, I was stuck with new SPL/Radio with Sapphire recovery for a while. But here is where things got worst: I attempted to flash BACK to the OLD SPL/Radio, which worked. However, somewhere along the way enableqxdm(1.76.x only) was turned ON, and stayed on. The only thing I was able to do was go back to the stock Rogers RUU (old radio), but left with no SD card which really sucks. When Sense was released for Rogers, I flashed the new ROM and Radio (via USB) and turned enableqxdm off. All fixed at the cost of being rooted
littlestrong; which ROMs are you trying to flash? There could be a really simple explanation as to why they don't work.
1. Did you WIPE data/dalvik/ext before flashing? <- this is pretty important
2. Flash a ROM specific to the new radio?
And if you're trying to reflash your radio and SPL, what errors do you get?
sindrefyrn:
I have tried update your SPL 1.76.2007 from recovery. It remain S-ON afterward.
So, I downgrade my SPL to 1.76.0007 and raido 6.35.07.xx from HK stock sense rom (Hboot mode -> sappimg.zip). The SPL and radio are successful downgraded. Then, I flash the SPL the 1.76.2007 in recovery. No luck.. SPL has been upgraded to 1.76.2007, but it is still S-ON..
pyee0124:
I flash all roms below with full wipe (all 5 wipes in recovery), they all are for new radio:
--[ROM][32A][6.35] SenseUI 2.1 based on DROID Eris dump. Both v01 and v02.
--Super-Hero (Build By AhmgskMod) [Based On Eris Dump].
--Eclair AME [Android 2.1] MADE BY ME [Only For New Radio] [28th Feb]
I also restore a nandroid backup which it was backup with Eclair AME rom, when my phone in good condition.
All the above roms can't boot up, all stop at htc Magic screen..
I search this forum and found 2 topics about making ENG SPL to S-OFF from S-ON.
1. Flash the nandroid backup boot.img file to the phone, might be one of them will make the SPL to be S-OFF.
2. Remove the battery for a couple of day, and leave the phone as it is .The phone might change to S-OFF itself.
Another problem, I can't flash my magic in RUU. ERROR 170 was found both in XP and win7. I tested it in computer with and without htc sync. I have install proper driver.
I have one more question, I can flash custom rom for new radio here in recovery mode. But all 3 roms I had tried won't boot up and stuck in htc Magic screen. Can anyone flash custom rom with S-ON SPL and found no problem in boot??
You should still be able to flash custom ROMS regardless of S-ON. One of the other things you should try is formatting your SD card again.. Try a full FAT32, then try partitioning afterwards. I found that I could only boot Ahmgsk with FAT32/Swap/Ext2.
pyee0124: I have flashed the [ROM][32A] CursorSense32A-1.2.6.1, it can boot up with my S-ON SPL.
I will test flashing others rom and see if I can use Android 2.1.
hi, i've searched the threads and tried everything but nothing has helped. found a very similar thread but their solution didnt' work for me...
tried a new rom (froyo), wiped, flashed, rebooted then it had sdcard mount problems thought it was the rom so i wiped and then tried to flash with no luck it says
build: RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or dev/block/mmblk0)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD

RADIO-2.22.23.02
So can't flash any new roms...
is the phone bricked?
Really need some help here i'm stuck
Try this from command line, boot into fastboot and type:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
no good,
...INFO [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY
HELP!!!!!!!
Oops, didn't see that you were using 32B
try this(You need recovery image first):
Code:
fastboot -c board_sapphire.disable_sdcard=0 boot [b]<recovery image name>[/b]
From here, you should be able to flash another ROM.
to be clear... if my recovery image was renamed to recovery.img i simply type this into fastboot?
fastboot -c board_sapphire.disable_sdcard=0 boot recovery.img
NEVERMIND, ok the recovery image has been flashed but it still doesn't let me access the SD CARD to install a rom...
i'm still not understanding what to do after i put in your command. still no access to sdcard
ok so should i just throw my phone against the wall or something...
anyhting i want to flash from fastboot gives me FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
except the recovery image i was able to flash with the code provided above. anyone know how i can flash a radio or rom from fastboot without getting that message? remember the phone is 32B and it cna't recognize my SD CARD (my problem in the first place)
I have the same problem, but just do this:
Go into recovery -> Backup/Restore ->
choose Nandroid backup but don't press home to start the backup; press back instead.
Do this last step 2 to 3 times and flashing from sd should work.
ok well ... i managed to unroot my phone by installing the sappimg.nbh
but now i can't get into recovery...
and my phone does not recognize my SD CARD in any shape or form. the SD card seems to be fine though when i put it in my PC
so at this point... phone is working with stock ROM but SD CARD can not be found.
HELP!!!
I'm going to close this because it is posted in the wrong section.
@Dannyfal, I'll open this back up when you can send me a private message with where you think that this should have been posted.
I know that you're all going to think that this is cruel and even counter-productive but I have to move over a dozen posts each night because some members just don't know what qualifies as "Development." To qualify for "Development" is must be regarding production or modification of Android software.
If you think that this is unreasonable then refer to this post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=545005
I've rooted my Magic, got Cyanogenmod running nicely, etc. I was then trying to flash a new splash screen, and noticed that my security in fastboot shows as begin on (S-ON). Sure enough it wouldn't let me flash the splash screen, it said the signature was not valid.
So, I tried flashing every single engineering SPL possible, and it never changes to off.
Here is my info from the fastboot/hboot screen.

That's what I've done. I've flashed every single engineering hboot file I can find and each one still shows S-ON during fastboot/hboot, and I"m unable to flash through fastboot.
Follow these steps (you should find it in this Mytouch Room)
1. Create your goldcard.
2. Comeback to 1.5 version by flashing rom 1.5 from goldcard.
3. Install Recovery Flasher (RF).
4. Run RF, chose Flash Cyanogen 1.4 img
5. Copy new E-SPL to root of Sdcard, Boot to Recovery mode, flash this file SPL
6. You can flash new recovery img (like 1.7.0G) by fastboot mode through your PC.
Check your new SPL now and S-ON becomes S-OFF.
I've successed on Magic 32B with perfect SPL 1.33.0006 and S-ON.

If this currently a 1.33.20** spl with s=off and a custom recovery can you please do the following
Run 'adb shell dump_image misc /tmp/misc_dat.img'
Then
'adb pull /tmp/misc_dat.img misc_dat.img'
Then send me the resulting image somehow (pm me a rapid share link or ask for my email.. there ought not be any identifiably info in misc but just in case)
This may or may not clear up why there is an issue.. and let a better process to fix it be created.. untill then try unrooting (or installing a stock spl) and re-rooting as was mentioned, just onto forget radio versions may change in the process requiring caution not to skip ahead of yourself and brick.
UPDATE:
So I got the file, misc was nearly all blank without the usual data (boot mode, CID and some other data) this is easily fixed by re-flashing misc from recovery.. I think this can even be made into an update.zip.. (since all magic/dream misc partitions are essentially the same besides the CID, and the CID is still being passed to the recoveries command line when stuck in this state.
I'm not exactl how i got to this point but i have
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP30000)
RADIO-3.22.20.17
in android os and in recover i cannot access the SD card but i can still use my gold card without a problem so i don't think the connector is busted
i think it has to do with the fact what i have 32a spl on my 42b mytouch but i am unable to change spl's in recovery without sd card being able to mount i've gotten this far without it but i cant flash anything from recovery with out a sdcard so i htink i am stuck unless someone can help me figure out how to re enable it
Ok... you have multiple problems... but all of them are fixable :0)
Problem 1) You have s-on.
You have eng spl, so you should have s-off.
Fix: Run this command in fastboot mode
Code:
fastboot oem eraseconfig
Restart into fastboot again and you will see that you have s-off. With that s-off you can now flash whatever you want :0)
Problem 2) You have wronge radio for you device.
Fix: You say you have 32B. Then you need this radio:
https://rapidshare.com/files/455782324/2.22.19.26I.img
You can download fastboot commander from my signature to help you flash the radio. Get the normal version and NOT magic version (Magic version is for the 32A devices.)
Problem 3) You cannot mount the sdcard
Fix: run this command from fastboot
Code:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
Problem 4) Lets now fix your recovery.
Fix: Get this image:
http://rapidshare.com/files/387932919/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img
Use fastboot commander to flash that image on recovery partition.
Now you should have a s-off device with all the engineer power with working radio, sdcard and recovery - just flash any 32B rom and you should be good to go... good luck.
You also have a post here:

Hi friends, I come to you android gurus if you can help me and guide about this cellphone that is giving me a lot of problems.
1. - when I enter in the recovery menu (home + end) the SD and Bluetooth stop working until insert and flash the mtd0.img file again
2. - I put a custom rom CyanogenMod 6.1.0-DS-signed, and the screen gets a green tint and i dont know how fixit i tried with a kernel patch but the screen turns black when the phone is starting and stays black after the logo MyTouch3g and phone never starts.
3. - Which is the most recommended customized rom, rooted faster and more stable for this phone, as some basic applications like angry birds, skate boy, etc, it runs way tooooo slow and sometimes dont respond and freeze, i want to install this custom rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641521 but is necesary do every one step in the instruction for the install?
The phone is not the conventional magic, it is the HTC mytouch 3g 1.2, the one with 3.5mm headphone jack, in fastboot throws me this information:
