Confusion of 32A or 32B while rooting HTC Magic

Dear users,
I wanted to root HTC Magic with the following helpful tutorial.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how-to-root-the-htc-magic-in-one-click/
However, I faced a problem about the motherboard version. When I check the motherboard version as tutorial suggested, I saw that it is 32B. However, Recovery Flasher app claims that it is EBI1/32A and it does not allow to flash the recovery image of 32B.
On the other hand, when I checked /proc/meminfo file, it says that
MemTotal: 99708 kB
MemFree: 12068 kB
which is 32B as suggested by Amon_Ra
So, I am confused. Could you please tell me which recovery image should I use? A small background information, I bricked the phone before with rooting procedure by the same reason and gave it back and got it refurbished. So, I am not sure but the motherboard information recorded somewhere else may mislead the Recovery Flasher application.
Thank you,
Omer

Which version of the recovery you should use is dictated by the version of your radio, not motherboard.
2.xx.xx.xx - G version
3.22.xx.xx - H version
hope it helps!

Thank you for the reply. I checked the radio version and it was 3.22.xx.xx. So, I tried the HTC version. However; The recovery manager didn't let me flash with this image. I think, I have the same situation as this post has
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=680793
But, I didn't yet root my device.
Thank you,
Omer

What exactly spl do you have?
Turn off, then turn on by pressing Back + Power, post first 5 strings.
If you have 1.33.2010 S-OFF you can revert back to radio 2.22.XX.XX

This is the 5 lines.

Should I root it first or revert back the radio?
Thank you for your help.

Since you have s-off already, just download 1.33.2005 SPL and do
fastboot flash hboot 1.33.2005
and
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Wrong forum by the way dude

But before flashing SPL, shouldn't I flash radio? Sorry to ask newbie questions but I am really lost and I don't want to brick the device.
By the way, My device is HTC Sapphire aka HTC Magic. That's why; I wrote in here. Is it wrong?
Thanks.

You have 2 methods to restore 32B radio and hboot and get ability to flash 32B-roms
Method 1.
As you wrote - you have S-OFF, so fastboot commands are allowed
You can simply run
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader
where:

Unpack it from archive
recovery.img - Amon_RA Sapphire recovery 1.6.2 G version
Important: flash radio then hboot. Don't reboot after flashing only radio.
Method 2. You can use rom.nbh from official update for 32B Magics:
create goldcard
unpack rom.nbh and rename to sappimg.nbh, copy it to goldcard
flash in hboot-mode (VolumeDown + Power)
You will get 1.33.0007 perfected SPL, so you must root device next
But one thing... you have S-OFF - may be you have engineering device - so you can use fastboot commans always - it makes flash-process very easy)

5 thank you for the instructions. This is what i was looking for. If any other experienced user confirms it might work, i would like to take the risks and do the instructions then share the results.
Experienced users, what do you think?

Go for it.

I took the encouragement and gave the first command and unfortunately got this error. I guess, this is not engineering device :/

Mmm. It's hard. All ROMs for MT3G 1.2 marked [mt3g 1.2] or something special
You must not use [32A]-marked ROMs
Forum need to be restructuzired...

Thanks for that VALUABLE TIP. That's good to know also. I've noticed you have S-OFF H and I have S-ON G, is my less or what? Haven't found anywhere that could explain the configurations properly

S-OFF - it is hboot without security. It means, that everyone can use fastboot commands without any warnings.
Magics have S-OFF, if it developer or engineering device OR if hboot patched by someone
There are some patched (engineering) hboots for Magics, but not for [MT3G 1.2]
In manual to root patched hboot is using, but if you stay with it - touchscreen does not work. Don't know why.

Thanks 5. I believe I'm good now, just have to be patient and await the arrival of new ROMS for my MT3G 1.2
Appreciate all your assistance in helping understand better about my phone.

PLEASE HELP!!!

You're in the SPL, not fast boot because you didn't flash an engineering SPL when you rooted the thing. So no, flash/erase ect commands will not work.

Please can you provide more info.
It's like going to the doctor and saying the you feel pain and nothing else!

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...

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)

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

hi guys,
i got the same problem, here im my country nobody knows how to solve (im from brazil)

my PC recognizes my phone but it is not allowing me to flash anything.
When I try "adb devices" it gives error: no device attached but fastboot command works fine.
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:

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.

Hey,
I just wanted to say I appreciate all the time you are putting in to helping me. I just did the RUU install, but once it gets to the updating signature part I get:
ERROR [132]: SIGNATURE ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your android phone.

[FIXED] Please Help, Urgent!

Ok Guys, I know there are probably millions of threads already started about this, but I really dont know how to put it.
Not long ago I flashed the official 2.2 ROM, and tried to flash DSP manager over it. It didnt work. I couldnt boot into the rom, I had a weird SPL and radio and stock recovery. I made a goldcard, downloaded a SAPPHIMG.nbh file from god knows where, and started again. I have a horrible feeling it might of been the rogers 32A rom.
BUT, I am now stuck on 1.5, Rooted with Super One Click and I cant boot into recovery at all. I cant flash recovery through Clockworkmod, or FlashRec. It flashes it, I just can't boot into the recovery at all! I can't even do it through fastboot, because of my perfected stock SPL. A goldcard doesn't help either, I just keep getting errors. Is it possible to corrupt your recovery partition?
RADIO: 3.22.20.17

I feel like I'm in a really horrible situation here, but I'm glad its not fully bricked. What Solutions are there to this problem?
Thank you so much guys! I really appreciate your help, in advance
EDIT: I can use fastboot, But I still cant boot recovery, even after flashing it from there. Can I just flash a rom through Fastboot?

Well... you have to flash the right recovery...
Follow my root guide( check my signature).
Just jump the androot part of it (you already have root you say).
Flash both the recovery and eng spl.
Once the recovery and spl is all good (and you have s-off in fastboot) you should flash the right radio. I belive it's 2.22.19.26I.
Then reboot and check your fastboot info.
You should have something like this:
Sapphire pvt 32B eng s-off
Hboot 1.33.2010
CPLD: 10
Radio 2.22.19.26I
Now, flash any 32B rom and you should be good to go!
Good luck.

Well that's because you have a perfected spl...It will not allow you to flash anything from fastboot.
You have to get access to the system again. Just flash a completable RUU for your device.
When you get your system back again, then use my guide to root and get custom recovery(check my signature).

Ok, Tried flashing an RUU, would't let me, because the phone had to be switched on and booted into android to do so. I have tried the goldcard more than 8 times, either to get a "main version is older" or "invalid CID" message. What else can I do? Have I effectively bricked my phone?

NO.. you have not bricked you phone.. when you do brick it, believe me, you will know!
You have a faulty goldcard... redo it... you should not get invalid CID!
Main version older, maybe... but not invalid CID... that's is the point with goldcard... to avoid CID checks :0)
Type this in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
Post here the outcome!

Can you also please change the title... it's not that urgent :0)

Well... the problem is that you used a 32A sappimg.zip to update your device with.
The newest RUU for the 32B device is 1.91.177.1....
So you in a not so good a situation. You cannot use the goldcard to update back in main-version (the good old main-version-older error).
I have no idea how you can get your self out of this.. i will wait until a new RUU for the 32B device is available... is should be that long... there is the 2.2 update... no still no RUU!!!
If you have any way to boot into custom recovery or the similar we can fix it... not before.

You have a different problem... you have wrong spl/radio combo.
But maybe i will test something. Check your pm!

OK, thanks mumilover, replied and added.

Well... the problem is that you used a 32A sappimg.zip to update your device with.

Fixed! I was on a 32A sappimg.nbh, flashed 2.53.707.2 sappimg.zip which was also 32A, but it booted (!) and from there I was able to flash the original mytouch COC10 cupcake. I ugraded to donut, then flashed the official 2.2 OTA
Thanks for your help

HTC Magic 32B, unable to boot or flash from fastboot

I tried to upgrade my Radio with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9055790&postcount=1
Now (after 6 hours) I'm frustrated and I dont know what to do.
My Phone says:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013d (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.16.19
I can enter fastboot, but I'm not able to boot into the recovery. Also I'm not able to flash a new recovery, radio, hboot, boot, system or userdata.
If i try to flash something:
"INFOsignatur checking... FAILED (remote: signatur verify fail)"
If i try to boot into recovery:
"downloading 'boot.img' ... OKAY [1.703s]
booting...."
but nothing happens.
If i try to flash SAPPIMG.nbh it stucks on flashing radio.
Im really really frustrated and I hope someone can help me.

I've never seen that radio before. What I can tell you is that your going to have to downgrade using the goldcard method. You'll have to borrow a friends Android phone to make the goldcard. I'm sure by the time you get it made someone will be able to give more in depth directions or I'll be back in front of a computer.

I have created a Goldcard, but with a CID from a German forum, because non of my friends have a Android Phone
I tried to orange-1.58.73.2.nbh and sappimg.nbh from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9055790&postcount=1 but nothing works. Both stuck on "INFOstart image[radio] flushing ..."

You can't use the CID from another user. The CID is unique to the SD card, you need the CID for the SD card your using.

UPDATE:
Now i was able to flash a engineering SPL from an 32A sappimg.nbh . (android-hilfe.de/239127-post7.html for all german Magic users)
I can enter recovery *whuhuu* but still I'm not able to flash a new/other radio. Is there any solution for that?
UPDATE:
BRICKED ...

Try putting the sappimg.nbh on your sdcard and then holding down the volume down + the power button and it should ask you to install and just press the scroll ball and it should fix your problem.

No its Bricked ;-)
But i found someone with an JTAG Interface.
Plz close

i am having similar trouble after:
* Format the Micro SD Card to FAT32.
* Copy the SAPPIMG.nbh file to the Micro SD Card.
* With the phone off, hold volume down and press power to boot into the bootloader.
* Once the bootloader is loaded, press power to install.
* Press the trackball to continue and press talk+menu+power to reboot.
I get:
parsing...[sapping.nbh]
1]radio_v2
2]bootloader
3]splash
4]recovery
5]boot
6]system
7]userdata
Do you want to start update?
yes
no
so i select yes and it says:
update in progress...
reading images...
checking signiture...
model id incorrect!
update fail!
i have magic 32b
please help

You need a goldcard.

I also have a magic (32B) and with the 1.33.0013d SPL I had a similar problem.
You need to read the first message of the 2708+ thread to the end to read how to flash to an old SPL (but you found that already).
I can only guess why you should try a G1 SPL or an 32A SPL on your phone since it seems like a recipe to brick the device. I reverted back to the SPL available from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019
Since I had previous experience with the 2005 engineering-version I went for that one.
Did you also try to 2708+ to upgrade to Gingerbread?

All you did was correct but as DonJuan692006 said, you need a goldcard.
If you are running ubuntu you'll find a very simple tutorial (but in french) looking for didier.misson.net and golcard with google.
Good luck.
O-p

I have a similar problem.
I can't start ADB and I have no boot partition. Only FASTBOOT and HBOOT can be started.
Info of my phone (Google Developer Phone):
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP30000)

Not boot partition:
$ fastboot oem boot
... INFO[ERR] boot image does not exist!!!
FAILED (status read failed (No such device))
finished. total time: 5.208s
No recovery can be started:
$ fastboot boot recovery-RA-magic-v1.2.3G.img
downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (remote: not allow)
finished. total time: 0.001s
Then I downloaded the vf-sappimg-crc24-1.33.0007.nbh for the "Magic 32B" and copied it to the sd-card. I renamed it into sappimg.nbh and started HBOOT. But I only get the well know messages:

Has anybody an idea what I can do now?
Thank's a lot!!
Felix

Now I know my fault.
HBOOT ist case sensetive. The correct name for the SAPPING.nbh is "SAPPIMG" with capital letters and ".nbh" with small letters.
