Hi,
First of all, let me tell you what happened. I have had a standard htc magic with sense UI (perfected spl) so I done everything what was needed to upgrade my phone to other ROM. Everything was ok untill my girlfriend told me next day that she can't call me. I tried to call her, an it works but in other direction doesn't. So I decided to downgrade radio and engeniering SPL to flash other ROM and everytime I was trying to downgrade radio the phone screen turns dark. After a couple of times I came up with an idea to simply use patched RUU aplication to do it. This time it won't work either. Whats more the phone turned into s-on and it only boots into something like fastboot screen but there's nothing more like some informations about radio and stuff and RUU. And here is my question.
What can I do with my phone to bring him to life?
Is it posible to make a goldcard synthetically, I mean without pluging phone into USB to get some codes?
ps: Sorry about my english. I think my phone is more important at this time.
possible solution
Hello there,
yes, you can read the CID of an SD card from your pc too.
the CID is basically a serial number for your SD.
since S in SD stands for secure, some programmers can limit their applications to run only in the SD they were installed to by verifying the CID.
anyway, if you can access HBOOT mode (vol down + power), it would be a lot simpler flashing a basic RUU rom, then root it, install a recovery and do whatever you want.
If you choose to follow this method, I suggest you to restore a RUU with android 1.5 or 1.6, it's easier to root and you're sure everything will work. i heard 2.x version of android sotck roms for htc magic can have some problems in rooting process.
good luck to you!
I will try to get the CID of my SD card, but what's more complicated is that whatever way I want to turn my phone on it only boots with something like fastboot screen, but instead of options to choose on the screen i there's only RUU and when i plug-in the USB cable the sign changes into RUU USB. So accesing any other mode is imposible. Only the blue light mode works. :/

What carrier is your phone from and what is your current hboot info? You should be able to see it from the RUU fastboot-like screen.

I would be very thankful if You, or anyone could help.
Download this, plug your phone into the computer and turn it on so that you have "RUU USB" on the screen, the double-click the downloaded file and run it. See if that gets you anywhere.
The same situation as later. Everything goes ok until the radio is being updated, then the screen fades black. The whole process ends at 36%.
Your going to have to see if mumilover adds his comments here.

You got radio/spl combo mismatch.
Run this command and give us the result:
Code:

Are you sure that the above info is correct and updated?
version-main is 3.05.401.1
I made a mistake, hboot is actually 1.76.0008.

Now I think (I'm a noob) my mobile is semi-bricked.
I tried to make a Goldcard, but couldnt because I cannot run adb.
I can run fastboot from AndroidSDK/tools
adb doesnt find devices.. fastboot finds my device.
Anyone who can help me? I would be really thankfull.
Ouch ouch, looks like its more than semi bricked for now. Since it updated your spl to a perfected one there isn't hacked yet. I'm afraid that the only thing there might save this phone is running another RUU your mobile will accept. You have to find one which got 1.76.0009 or higher cause the S=ON now
If this wont work the only hope will be a spl hack will be released and will be done through fastboot.
But most of all it sounds like the best thing there could happen is that your warranty is still valid and they will replace it for you.
Anyway, don't take my words as 100% cause i'm no expert on this matter!!!
If you dare to try to flash another spl/radio through fastboot look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239
BUT, as your new spl is perfected it will most probably not work and ruin the possibility to use fastboot.
Maybe and just maybe, it will be easier to get a replacement if it's fully bricked and it's impossible to get into fastboot and recovery.
Thanks already for the fast answer.
Let me try your suggestions first.
Warranty will not be provided I assume.
I tried to reflash, I couldn't... Let's jst go to the shop and send it to repair-service.
Thanks for helping Ronni!!

Try to wait a little while, like i wrote i'm not an expert on this matter.
Maybe if you're lucky someone will drop by with a solution for it. But to be honest, i wouldn't keep my hopes up
And sorry didn't follow the thread, don't have any links for RUU cause i'm not really sure which you should use.
But if Belgium got the update which include HTC sense, i guess that would be the right one.
I found a solution to my problem.
Here's what did I do.
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656798
Got the exact same issue.
Tried the goldcard with the sandisk 2GB, but with an usb adapter. (I read the card should work)
I could do everything in the goldcard tutorial but when inserting the goldcard in the phone nothing happens at boot or when pressing the recovery keys at boot.
It jumps right away to versions screen.
The strange thing is though. Once I inserted the sd card in the phone, I can no longer use it on the PC (please insert media). Which I could do before.
When inserting the sdcard on another magic phone, it's working fine.
Going to get a Kingstong 2GB with sdcard adapter in the mean time and try it in the pc's card reader.
(HTC Magic 32A)
It really sucks Proximus sells android phones you cannot update. What's the use to have open source software then?
I also wander why the RUU update went wrong, once you root the phone is should work no ?
hmmm, I Read on this forum there is no fix for the 1.76.0009

Can somebody help me to at least get back to my original ROM? I don't wanna root my phone ever again..
Help please~
If you can get into fastboot you're fine. Just flash 32A radio/spl again and then the desired ROM. Old radio/spl - 1.33.X/3.22.X New radio/spl 1.76.X/6.35.
yeah when turning on the phone hold home and power, if you get the recovery menu then you got nothing to worry about, just flash the proper rom and all will be fine, there is even a stock htc rom with root around here.
right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622038
but you dont have to go back to stock, you just need to put on a rom that fits your phone. i personally suggest this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654284
so good luck post back when you get it figured out
Thank you Reziukas and sike89 for the reply..
I will try the ROM recommended in the links. =)
I cannot get into recovery (-Home- & -Power-) now due to the perfected SPL (1.33.0006).
And whenever I use the goldcard method that flooded over the internet, I always get this "Main version is older!" failure message.
I think I have made the goldcard correctly cause it worked while I was trying to flash my 1.76.0007 SPL to 1.76.2007.
Any idea?
when you hold home and power what does it do?
did you root your phone with the recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img?
I did but after I flashed RADIO-2.22.19.26I with SPL 1.33.0006 I can't get into this recovery mode anymore.
When I press Home and Power, it starts booting but stucked on HTC Magic screen forever..
Easily said it, I can only enter hboot (vol down and power) and fastboot (back and power) now..
Procedure
1.Turn your phone off. Turn it on by holding Back and Power, or Vol. down and Power. Either way, boot into the bootloader.
You should see the three Androids on skateboards, and the menu title should say "Fastboot".
2.Connect your device to the computer. The display on your phone should now say "Fastboot USB".
3.Open up the shell/terminal on your computer, and type
fastboot devices [enter]Your device should be listed with it's serial number, and should say "fastboot".
4.Change directory to where you have saved your recovery image. I.e. type "cd /path/to/recovery.img in windows prompt, press enter.
5.You may issue a "dir" command (Windows) or "ls" (Unix/Linux) to make sure you are at the right directory, or just skip this step.
6.Type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Check your phone's display, as recovery is being sent and flashed to your device.
Check your command prompt/shell to make sure the process is over.
i got all that from Binary100100 who got it from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/RE-recovery-img
give that a shot
also maybe this might help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4066552&postcount=2
I seem like I cannot use the fastboot command in 1.33.0006 SPL??
Whenever I type a fastboot command and press enter, I always get an error message.
>> ... FAILED (remote: not allow)
Do we have any windows application that can help to bypass all checking on the phone stats and proceeds with fastboot flash directly?
Perfected spl, you need to make yourself a goldcard
Goldcard doesn't seem to work..
Whenever I try to flash a new radio, it prompted me an error message "Main version is older!"..
What to do?
when it says main version is older it means you need the goldcard.
do you have a working goldcard? if not use this
http://revskills.de/downloads/psas.zip it will make the gold card.
No need for phone?
Hello there.
I was reading this thread and I'm having a similar problem.
I have a question, sike89.
Is it possible to create the goldcard just with the software you mentioned?
My magic 32a will only go into fastboot (stuck at splash screen) and so
I won't be able to use my phone to create the card.
Thanks!
As mentioned by YamatoDelgato, I cannot boot up my phone and thus far I am unable to re-create a goldcard.
But this "goldcard" I am using right now was a working goldcard and I am surprised that it doesn't work all the times..
By the way, I found an alternative on internet saying that you can use other HTC Magic phone to create a goldcard for your phone; Although I am not sure if its gonna work out, just give it a shot..
Sike89, am I right to say that this application does not require any HTC phone in order to create a goldcard?
I can just format my SD card using PC and input the necessary information into the application to create goldcard, is it true?
Problem Solved...with a Sacrifice.
Well I managed to get my phone booting again.
I have a rogers phone so I used their "mandatory"
update (2 sappimgs) to get my phone working again.
However, this resulted in getting the dreaded
SPL 1.76.0010 meaning I can't root it easily.
However, I know that with a working
phone that I now have, I could use it to obtain
a gold card.
Boy that was scary!
I'm so scared to try rooting again but I probably will hehe !
Thanks to xda community and google search!
I lost my original nandroid backup but did manage to install an original ROM on my 32B (Vodafone). Took some work but it worked Afterwards I wrote a tutorial about it (google How to restore your custom ROMed HTC Magic (Vodafone 32B) – a walk through, I can't post links yet).
I did a mistake and now im asking for advice because i dont want to brick it for good.
This is all i can see on my device after i tried to run the RUU update to 2.1 with sense
If i try to run again the RUU it says ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR

RUU
What can i do to bring him back alive ?
Big thx , Gabi.
First you must flash custom recovery,and then enter it and flash ENG SPL like 1.33.2010, and then you must download eyegor's radio switcher and flash all new and then install new rom
thx for the fast answer
This is my first time , but i still don't know the steps , i am very confused.
I have read about similar situations where goldcard was needed or a RUU solved the problem
If a RUU can solve my problem too it will be great.
Do you have Windows 7 or vista? I think i had same problem i did it on WinXP,which phone do you have Rogers Magic or something else?
I have windows 7 , i found a thread with a similar problem
now i`m trying to do a goldcard but i`m not pretty shure what to do with this after i am done, i just fallow the steps there
I have found 6-7 diferent RUU but only one can actualy see the phone and that is the RUU that actualy did this to my magic , the RUU update stops at the signature ,so with different os i may have a chance?
Here is the thing you can download only 1 RUU from htc site, you must go to country you are from select the right HTC magic i think you are using Rogers magic and then you must enter you S/N there and then you can download it. And install it on winxp. I must ask you something which android do you have 1.5 or 1.6?
I have obtained my htc RUU from my country site but when i try to apply it can't find my device sadly, i think is like you said only works in xp i will try today.
Now i have a goldcard but i dont realy know what to do with him , how can i use it to restore my phone.
Android 2.2 froyo with CyanogenMod 6 was , i was trying to make it to oficial 2.1 with sense
First of all you cant do RUU when you have CM6 it will brick your phone totaly, you must downgrade you phone to original Rogers 1.5 you should batter install some custom made Android made of rogers i created my own,be carefull very carefull.
So in my case is total brick?
How can i downgrade? and witch custom android?
If you want Rogees 2.1 android you just need to change spl (which i can give you,can you enter recovery?and which do you have),second thing is to use eyegor's radio switcher and just press flash new button via fastboot,and the restar to recovery again adn install rogers stock rom with root(which is like original only with root).and i must ask eyegor something so be patient
I can only enter in Fastboot , that is the problem the phone don't allow me to enter in recovery mode.
In my case a goldcard is useful? because i did one following a guide but i don't know how to use it stupid me
I never did goldcard but i know this that you must follow those instructuions if you made a good goldcard you must flash the right eng spl which is 1.33.2010 and if you do that right it will unbrick,and you must then install Custom recovery it is RA's 1.7.0H. When you finish that download eyegore's radio switcher and enter fastboot again and flash new option if do that right then you can boot to recovery and install ROM

Big thx , Gabi.

1) The reason you don't get connection to the RUUs is because you are in fastboot mode.
RUU needs adb connection mode
2) You have the wrong spl/radio combo. That's why you cannot boot your device to any system. To fix this you have to change the spl to 1.33.20xx version, where the xx can be 05, 09 or 10.
3) Following the logic from option 2 you have a problem!
The spl you have now is a perfected one, meaning you can't do anything with it. So changing only the spl is not possible (as fare as i know :0)
4) Following the logic from option 3 you have to use a goldcard and flash a sappimg.zip or sappimg.nbh.
Both will try to overwrite ALL data on the nand and restore the device to a state where you again have some control over it.
The solution)
You have to make a goldcard and use a combitable sappimg.zip/nbh.
Try this one:
http://rapidshare.com/files/421772202/SAPPIMG.nbh
Put the file on the root of the goldcard. Reboot into hboot or fastboot... let it work... when done restart and post the result here :0)
PS: Give thx to WoblyGoblin because he convinced me to help you out.
Looks like my card is not good for goldcard , i will try tomorrow again with a different card.
PS: BIG thx to both of you for you`r help!
I'm pretty sure your hosed. Once you run an RUU and it fails your stuck with RUU USB until a RUU is ran properly. Which wont happen in your case.

if you have a goldcard, put in your device and flash with RUU rom.
if you didn't have a goldcard, download your original rom from HTC website and flash it
if you have non branded device, choose unbranded rom.
but if you have branded device, choose your branded rom.

Hi All
I am hoping someone can help me out. When i switch my phone on it loads up a black screen with HTC in the middle, and 4 exclamation marks, one in each corner of the screen, and will not switch on.
My phone is rooted and i have ENG S-OFF. I have clockwork recovery installed but cannot boot into it. I cant boot into bootloader but i can run fastboot commands.
So far i have tried the following;
Flash several RUU's, they seem to run smoothly upto the part where they write the sent IMG's, then i get a UNKNOWN ERROR 150.
Update with PD98IMG.zip by running fastboot command "fastboot update PD98IMG.zip", it sends the files to the phone then i get an error when its writing the images, something about links being too long.
Unfortunately the phone will not recognise the SD card either
Im hoping someone can help me out, as ive been without my phone for 3 weeks now, and its driving me insane
Thanks
Jody
Jody I feel your pain as I have a similiar problem.
Phone is running 2.2.1, rooted, Radio S-OFF, ENG S-OFF but won't boot into the bootloader. Tried running 1.32 RUU to downgrade, but comes back with an "unknown error."
Fortunately in my case, the phone works fine, its just that I was trying to upgrade to gingerbread.
If anyone knows a fix for this it will be much appreciated.
I am by no means an expert but a problem with writing files should point to the SD card being bad shouldnt it?

Thanks for the suggestions so far, ill give them a try and report back.
Just noticed also, when the phone is on the black HTC exclamation mark screen and plugged into the laptop, if i un plug it, it switches to a white screen similar to the bootloader one, but without the 3 androids on the bottom. At the top of the screen it now says "ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL". Anyone know what the RL is about?

If you had ENG S-OFF, it should say something along the lines of:
Code:
ACE PVT ENG S-OFF
If you had this before, and it's now changed, it could be a problem with HBOOT. What were you doing the first time around when it broke?

I was trying to restore my nandroid backup via fastboot to see if i could sort the SD card not being recognised issue i was having.
Is HBOOT BOOT.IMG?
HBOOT is the bootloader, nandroid won't have backed it up. I'm not totally certain about how HBOOT works, but you could try using this, to restore ENG S-OFF (and possibly HBOOT too). Be very careful when messing with HBOOT though, from what I gather, it's very easy to brick a phone if you mess it up.
Cheers for that, prob is phone is not recognised by ADB so i cant run any ADB commands
Its weird how the RUU runs fine until writing the images, then comes up with the error about not being the correct rom for the device.
Hello,
I recently tried to update the spl/radio to use a new rom on my HTC Magic 32A and after updating the spl the phone just hangs on the "HTC Magic" screen. Fastboot or Recovery wont start if I hold the buttons. Was just wondering if it is bricked or if it is possible to fix via cmd or so? I read alittle on jtag but I think if it came down to that Ill just buy a new phone cause this phone is not worth that much trouble.
I rooted the phone a year or so ago. First I had cyanogen but they dropped support so I switched too gingeryoshi but the wifi stopped working. It still connected to tmobile hotspot but I couldnt tether or connect to my wifi. So I thought of putting on Froyodragon. I updated too HBOOT-1.76.2007 but then it just hanged on reboot.
Thanks for any input.
Turn phone off (if you have bootloop then remove battery and place it back after 10-20 sec)
Turn on by pressing Back + Power - it's fastboot-mode
Write first 5 rows of info (all symbols are important)
If you do not have Android Sdk Tools configured - do it
Additionaly search for fastboot.exe - this utility can be absent from sdk tools
Connect phone to pc when it in fastboot-mode
Run
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
fastboot getvar cidnum
fastboot getvar version-main

hello,
I tired back+power, power+vol down, and power+home, they all just sit at the "HTC Magic" screen.
Did you remove battery before try and placed it back? If yes and any combination did not help -> 'brick'. Only JTAG can help.
What ROM did you have before?
And what ROM did you update?
There are no bricked phones when 32A phone updating with 32A official ROM. I don'y understand how you bricked your device.
Even if hboot updated but radio did not - there are some chances to restore...
Tell us how it happened?
same problem
Sir im also facing the same problem like this person is facing:
I guess that I've bricked my HTC magic phone. actually it was working fine but after when i flash Hboot file named (ISO-8859-1__STOCK-HBOOT) on it.
my device stop functioning not any key is working phone its not coming up in hboot loader screen by pressing vol down key+power key, not even in recovery mode. by pressing home key+ power key.
but if i press vol down+power key its not showing any hboot loader screen but if i use command prompt after that and use fastboot devices command its shows the device like in machine language
just like this:

Did you remove battery before try and placed it back? If yes and any combination did not help -> 'brick'. Only JTAG can help.
What ROM did you have before?
And what ROM did you update?
There are no bricked phones when 32A phone updating with 32A official ROM. I don'y understand how you bricked your device.
Even if hboot updated but radio did not - there are some chances to restore...
Tell us how it happened?

Yes I removed the battery (only way i could turn it off). I stated most of this info in the first post but Ill try and state specifically what versions I had. When I first rooted I used Cyanogen Rom. It worked fine but they dropped support so I switched too Gingeryoshi. I dont remember what version. I tried to update it too 1.5 first but it didnt work but fastboot and recovery still worked so I decided to switch to a new rom instead and tried Froyodragon but it needed radio 6.35.16.19 and HBOOT-1.76.2007. So I wiped it then I did the HBOOT-1.76.2007 and after installing and rebooting is when it stopped working.
Crap, I just did this too... got a yellow arrow coming from a box onto an Android. I flashed a mismatched 6.35 radio (I guess?).
Can't boot to fastboot--can only boot to blue light mode (trackball+power) and phone will charge if connected by USB--but is never recognized by ADB or fastboot.

Wait 5-10 minutes, "yellow arrow coming from box" equals unpack and flash. Phone should finish this process.
Try to load into hboot-mode: turn phone off (remove battery and place it back if bootlooping), then turn on by pressing Volumedown + power
In this mode you can flash full official rom in sappimg.zip format (or sappimg.nbh if you have 32b magic)
If phone doesn't load into any mode (except trackball + power) - then you have brick and only jtag can help.

But, it goes to a black screen about ten seconds after that.. sadly I think it needs to be jtagged and i will just give it away for parts.
I also tried the sapphire image trick, no luck.
those all sound like bricks..
problem with 32b - looping after rom.
Believe me, I tried a lot here and on google before posting here.
I tried to install a ROM on my htc magic 32b and certainly was not what I should.
Information from my device:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
Hboot-1.33.0013 (SAPP30000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.28.25
OCT 21 2009,22:33:27
I've read very, very much. I read that I have to change the SHIP for ENG.
Also read about ruu, but I found a will for my device, nor know how to run.
First of all, my phone is only on LOOP. I can normally access the fastboot USB.
But does not accept commands, I believe it because of S-ON.
I do not know how to install an img it to get S-OFF.
Could someone help me get back my life device?
Thank you and with the help of google translator.
huahua!!!!
