MT3G 1.2 stuck in RUU, no fastboot/recovery - myTouch 3G, Magic General

My phone is totally unresponsive to everything I try to do with it. Its a MT3G 1.2.
I tried rooting it. Created a goldcard, flashed the sappimg from the unlockr guide. then tried various combinations of stock files, all with the same "signature error". Today, I decided to try and go back to the stock with the RUU. it went fine, til it flashed the System partition, which it sat there for 30mins and did nothing... Now im stuck with a phone that only goes into RUU, and refuses to let me flash ANYTHING to it, reguardless of version/type/size/extension/ect. NOTHING works. every file I try gives me either a signature error or model ID error. The RUU fails, everytime. and Ive tried all three T-MO ones and a few from europe. RUU says my version is 2.53.707.2... Yet when i try flashing that RUU it says gives a wrong model error. I dont get it. My goldcard, which worked to flash the HTC Magic sappimg, is in the phone thru all of its. its like it doesnt see my sdcard. I know the goldcard is good, I just used it.

Does this mean my SD Card is disabled??? Ive tried the codes to re-enable it, but they do nothing. "Fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" gives an error, and "fastboot -c board_sapphire.ect=0" says finished but nothing ever changes.
Im running out of ideas... am I missing something, or have i successfully bricked my phone... please help!

Run these commands and post here the output:

I vaguely remember erasing the misc partition... and im pretty sure thats what screwed it all up. Now im stuck with a perfected hboot and no system or userdata partitions, and a blank mtd0 partition. Every time I try and flash a .zip, the image signature fails. If i try to flash a SAPPIMG.nbh or ROM.zip (extracted from RUU) it says "adopting signature" but then fails for either model ID or main version. it looks like i need a HTC signed SAPPIMG.zip with main version 2.53.707.2 and a model ID of SAPP31000... where on earth I can find said file, i have no idea.

either that, or a zip/recovery file that will pass the signature check...

Do you use a goldcard... if so, it seems like you are using a bad one..

yeah i actually bought a new sandisk 2gb card just to use for it. i just remade it last night. Im going to try making another one with a 4gb lexar card, and a 256mb kingmax. Maybe RUU mode doesnt like the sandisk?

Execute reset to try to get out of the ruu mode:

I made two more goldcards, and it does the same thing: keeps kicking back signature and model id errors when i try to flash files. running out of ideas other than jtag or a custom file. but i have no idea how to do either

Well... you cannot flash files from fastboot using the coldcard...
It must be done from hboot mode ( Hold volume - (decrease) and power), then the process should pick up the sappimg.zip or sappimg.nbh file from the sdcard...

It wont go into fastboot... that key combo makes it go right back to the RUU screen.
I think what I need is the RUU file for the FRG83D update... it has a newer main version, so it should go thru. But I cant find it. I found the one for the SAPP30000 but not for my 31000.... i guess it hasnt been leaked yet.

OK so I downloaded the official 2.2.1 update file from google's servers... tried to flash it with fastboot update and flash zip. One gave an error for no android-info file. The other failed, yet again, for security failures. what the hell is up with this phone? absolutely no files, including files from google, pass the signature check. What fricken signature is it looking for? The only files ive had pass the security check, its failed for some other reason (model ID, main version). I made my goldcard again, but I got the CID using my cousins Samsung Fascinate (gag), so I'm wondering if it spit out the right number. not sure. thou it did let me flash the 2.53.707.2 file with it... so i think it worked? Im seriously about to lose my mind. Im fairly confident that if I can somehow get the System and Userdata partitions flashed, it will be fine. Cuz the RUU successfully flashed everything except those last two partitions. Someone leak the RUU pleaseeeee

i have the same issue with my phone (3g 1.2)
i've tried so many things, goldcard, etc.. nothing worked.
when flashing sappimg, i always got stuck at system unzipping.

the one time i got RUU to actually flash the phone, it hung on the system partition. Now i cant even get it to go that far. every file either hangs or fails signature check or model/main version. luckily Im getting a Fender LE tomorrow so until the mythical RUU appears, my MT3G will be a charger dock.

My RUU update was stuck on system- unzipping for like half hour. i didnt know what to do so i turned off the phone and restarted it, it went into RUU mode and i couldnt update anything else, cuz all RUU upates would give me wrong version/ID, etc.
now i think it is because i dont have eng spl on the phone, thus it not allowing to update. the only thing i can think of to do, is get an eng RUU, to update it, and then it should get out of RUU mode.
and btw, How to flash it using goldcard, when i cant get to Hboot??

I believe yours is salvageable. U can fastboot from RUU so try flashing the engineering SPL from there. My understanding is the phone should "see" the goldcard and let RUU/Fastboot flash whatever files you want it to. This however hasnt been the case for me.

i will try to do that, but how do i flash an engineering spl?
get eng sappimg.zip?
and how do i do it?
i just made another goldcard with my friend's phone.

[SOLVED]SPL/Radio mismatch HTC Magic 32a

Hi!
I think my phone is bricked... or semi-bricked.
I was using eyegor's radio switcher to switch SPL/Radio/Recovery every time I was changed the rom. I used:
hboot-1.33.2010OldSPL.img
Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_3.22.20.17OldRadio.img
recovery-RA-magic+-v2.2.1-bladyle
everything was nice, but my battery started to die... every day I had to charge it. So I bought a new battery and I thought, it would be nice to be formatted with a stock rom. So I started to install RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.1_test_signed_NoDriver.exe (what I installed the same way like before with success). When it got to update RADIO_V2 my screen goes black and the update failed.
Now when I try to turn the phone on (showing me the same with POWER; BACK+POWER; HOME+POWER; VOL_DOWN+POWER), says:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.0008 (SAPP10000)

I can access fastboot from computer, but adb not. I searched all over the internet to find solution to this.

I saw mumilover helped to someone with almost the same problem, maybe he or someone can help me.
So it can't be solved...
If someone in Serbia can JTAG, I would be send to him/her and pay for it...
Don't know why I was thinking like a noob... a had already extracted the RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.1_test_signed_NoDriver.exe and I always tried to flash only the rom.zip which failed at radio update. So now I tried to flash the other zip... rom1.zip
Now I have working hboot, fastboot and a system which I cant access
It looks like no one can help me...
I tried to make a goldcard, with two cards. The first was 4gb Kingston sdcard and the second one is a noname 512mb sdcard. Without my goldcards I get Model ID error. With the goldcard inserted (never mind which one) I pass this check, but fails at main version check. I read on many forums and tutorials how to make a goldcard... On these sites I found many answers. Someone says the goldcard is good when passes the Model ID check. But there are a few responds where they say they can pass the main version check... Somewhere on this forum with almost the same problem (SPL/Radio mismatch) someone wrote that he had to make three goldcards to pass the main version check, but with first two he passed only the Model ID check...
Now I'm a little bit confused... I would appreciate if someone can confirm that the goldcard is then a good goldcard when it can pass the main version check (in RUU - ERROR 140 - BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR).
If someone confirms this I will buy more sdcard (because I bought my phone without a sdcard (for those sdcards which comes with the phone everyone says these are good for creating a goldcard (said on the forums)) before two years)...
... and sorry for my really bad english
more than 140 views and no one replied...
wondering...
if XTC Clip can help me?
I wrote you a pm.
"Main version is older" is not something which a goldcard can fix...
But we can fix that :0)
We just need to get into the system, flash a different misc partition and you should be able to flash a different ruu file.
Once we have a matching spl/radio combo, we can flash a different combo matching your device (32A).
I have to say... many thanks to mumilover, because he wanted to help me. I told him in Monday that I ordered a XTC Clip by Raskal and I want to try it first... Today I got the Clip and successfully unlocked it... it said S-OFF and showed in fastboot:
before:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-ON H

after:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.76.0008 (SAPP*****)

RADIO-3.22.20.17
downloaded the original ROM, which was for me RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_2.16.401.6_Vodafone_CZ_release_signed_NoDriver because of my phone was VODAPC23... now in fastboot with command:
fastboot oem boot
it gives me "CID is super CID" and "setting.cid::11111111"
when the unlock succeeded I type in cmd:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
unpacked, the downloaded RUU and installed the "update"(downgrade):
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
everything went well! So now my phone works like new, but it is unlocked If someone will have same problem I suggest to buy a XTC Clip from Raskal...
Anyway, how can I make it solved?
How did you do it?
I have the same issue. My phone is stuck in ruu mode. I have an xtc clip but when I try it, it does nothing. I assume its because the phone is still stuck in ruu mode but how do I get it out of ruu mode?
Can you help me?
SPL and Radio are exactly as above.
Thanks.

To get into fastboot/hboot and get rid of ruu screen:
1.a. Download RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.1_test_signed_NoDriver.exe and extract it.
Find rom.zip and rom1.zip files
1.b. Or download rom.zip and rom1.zip
2. Put these zip files in the same folder where is fastboot.exe
3. Connect your phone to PC in RUU mode
4. Run the commands from the same directory:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
This will fail. Disconnect the phone, get the battery out for 10secs, put back and connect to PC.
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash zip rom1.zip
This will be successfully installed. And now you have fastboot/hboot. In XTC Clip make the goldcard. Put the card in the phone and power on with VOLUME_DOWN+POWER.

Thanks.
I figured this out last night but thanks anyway.
Just to add, to get back to a bootable system, I had to flash another rom after completing the above steps.
Is there a way to get the Tom and rom1 rehosted? If not where can i get it from?

You can get the ROM from HTC Dev. You need to sign up for an HTC Dev account and then go to the HTC bootunlocker page (you have to google as I'm not allowed to post the link). You can download the RUU there and then once downloaded open the file and when its open go to %temp% (or your temp file directory) and find the most recent modified folder. Inside of there you will find another folder which will contain, amongst other things rom[1].zip file(s).
rom.zip
rom1.zip
Awesome thanks

Looping reboot

Hi,
I have a Vodafone (UK) branded Desire Z which today froze whilst I was using it. This left me no option to remove the battery and re-insert it to clear the phone.
Unfortunately the phone will not fully boot now - all I get is the standard HTC screen, followed by the Vodafone logo screen. It then goes black and restarts.
I have tried removing the battery and leaving it for a while before reinserting. I have also removed and replaced the sim and the SD card, but still no joy.
Is there a 'safe mode' way of booting the Desire Z that I could try or has my phone just died?
Any help gratefully received.

Hi again,
Thanks for that link - I have read and re-read as suggested and attempted to follow the instructions but the second link (cwm recovery) is dead - it takes you to a 'removed by mod' post, so I didn't get far!
Just to give a bit further info, I took my device into a local 'fone doctor' shop, where they managed to fix it (or so I thought! - cost me £22 as well! ). The phone was back with the stock HTC Sense on it.
Anyway, within about three hours of the phone working, it froze again - and is now back to being stuck on the White HTC boot screen (rather than the looping it was doing previously). I have a feeling that my phone may just be knackered!
If I do the hold volume and switch on thing, I get the following:-
VISION PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.85.0013
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.10.04.03_M
Apr 11 2011,23:36:27​
....plus the usual HBOOT, FASTBOOT, RECOVERY options etc.
To confirm, I have NEVER rooted my phone. Up to the point it originally froze it had only had the official over the air updates.
I do have HTC Sync installed on my PC, so all of the required USB drivers should be available.
I also have the Android SDK installed (I have dabbled in development) so have adb.
I have read many posts over the last couple of days, but the majority seem to say that if you have "S-ON" you could well be screwed.
Also, adb does not seem to recognise my phone - I have no idea if I had "enable USB debugging" checked or not - again, if this was not the case then I fear I could be screwed!
If anyone has any further idea's of how I could possibly bring my phone back to life it would be hugely appreciated.............or should I just give up and look to get my old G1 unlocked?!
Many thanks.
ok ...you can´t reach your phone with adb if your are not booted into a rom.
do you have fastboot installed on your pc?
if yes then enter fastboot menu (power & tp) and then type fastboot devices on your pc...
your device should be listed.
then type fastboot oem boot and if you are lucky your phone boots again
EDIT: or push power & volume+ to enter recovery and wipe cache or do a factory reset... and do some researching about emmc chip
Many thanks hoffmas. I managed to run the fastboot commands you mentioned which did indeed force a reboot, but unfortunately only back to the white HTC splash screen.

I am guessing that the "FAILED" line at the bottom is another way of saying "Sorry Mate, your phone is knackered!".
I also tried selecting "Recovery" from the menu - that brought up a black screen with the two green arrows around the device picture. This lasted for about 10 seconds, then the phone vibrated about 6 times and went totally blank again - no reboot, no splash screen nothing.
When I try and select the "Factory Reset" option, nothing happens at all. I can move up and down to it using the vol keys, but when I click the power button to select it, nothing happens.
Thanks for all the suggestions anyway - I guess I'll have to get the trusty old G1 unlocked.
I don't think I'll ever tie myself into a two year contract again - bit annoying to be paying for two years when you only get 13months out of the phone!
sry to hear that it didn´t work... but delete the serial number of your phone in your posting.
maybe there is a way to use fastboot for factory reset... but i don´t know how :S
ok... this should be the commands:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase data
fastboot erase cache
Thanks again hoffmas - unfortunately when I run those commands I get this:-

Thanks again for your help - it is much appreciated.
yes you are right... looks like you need eng hboot to do this
sry, but i have no idea what else you could try... maybe someone else knows better

[GUIDE][S-ON] Restore your (European) HTC One M8 back to stock

Hi all,
I've created a simple guide to restore your HTC One M8 back to stock firmware while still being on S-ON.
This guide will provide you with all the files required to restore your EUROPEAN device back to stock.
If you have an device from another region, you'll need to find the RUU & recovery image yourself. (see below)
Prerequisites:
- HTC Drivers (just install HTC Sync and the included drivers, then remove HTC Sync)
- Fastboot package
- Stock recovery.img (you'll need the recovery.img with the same fw version as the RUU you're going to flash) (Link to 4.16.401.10 recovery.img for European non-carier devices)
- The RUU for your region/carrier. (Link to 4.16.401.10 for European non-carier devices)
If you have an USA /USA carrier device, go here for the RUU files
If you have an device from another region than Europe or USA, good luck finding the correct RUU
Look here to find recovery.img files for all regions (thanks to @exocetdj)
Because this guide is intended for S-ON, only the RUU for your region/carrier will work.
If you don't have an RUU or cannot find one for your region/carrier, S-OFF your device and follow this guide to restore your HTC One M8 back to stock. (thanks to @EddyOS)
After you've gone trough all steps;
- The red text during boot will be gone
- You'll have the stock firmware, system, recovery and boot.img
- Your bootloader will say "Relocked"
- Your bootloader will say "Software status: Official"
Let's start:
Step 1:
Start the RUU exe by double clicking on it, it will take a few seconds before it starts. After it has started, do not continue but go to your temp folder (type %TEMP% in your address bar)
Find the folder with the temporary files from the RUU (mine was called: {C48DBAA3-1CC0-4DF6-B069-B9CCB27F93C9})
Inside this folder there should be a few files and another folder with a long code as name (mine was called: {50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B})
Inside this folder, scroll down until you find rom.zip, open this file
Extract boot_signed.img and place it in a folder with the downloaded stock recovery and the fastboot.exe file
Now close the RUU installation wizard
Step 2:
Turn off your device
Hold VOL-Down + Power, after a few seconds you'll be in the bootloader. Now release the buttons
Navigate with the volume buttons to fastboot and confirm with the power button.
Step 3:
You should now have a folder with the following files:
- fastboot.exe
- AdbWinApi.dll
- AdbWinUsbApi.dll
- boot.img (extracted from the rom.zip)
- recovery.img (see prerequisites)
Inside the folder while holding shift, click right mouse and choose Open command window here
Before starting, it's recommended to rename the recovery file to recovery.img and the kernel to boot.img
Type the following commands in order (make sure to check the output and see if every command is successful before executing the next command)
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot oem lock
This will push the stock kernel & recovery and relock your device.
Step 4:
Open the RUU installation wizard again and follow the instructions.
It will start flashing the RUU on your device.
After 8-12 minutes, the installation will be complete and your device will boot into system.
Step 5: (optional)
Power off your device
Hold VOL-Down + Power, after a few seconds you'll be in the bootloader. Now release the buttons
Verify that your bootloader says "Relocked" & "Software status: Official"
Congratulations, your device is back to stock again. After it's finished booting and optimizing 261(!) pre installed apps, you'll be greeted by the setup wizard on your phone.
If you have any questions, let me know.
Common problems:
Fastboot cannot find my device?
- try reinstalling the HTC drivers included with HTC Sync, and make sure to remove HTC Sync afterwards but leaving the drivers installed
I've got error 155 when trying to flash the RUU
- make sure your bootloader is locked. This tool only works when you have stock kernel, recovery and your bootloader is locked or relocked.

This is my phone , should i do any thing more or just the steps u mentioned???
I was told that i must upgrade my firmware, must i ??
Thanks
This is a great guide for those that just want to return to stock for their own purposes. However, this will not be enough for sending the phone into warranty, for that you'll need to take a few more steps with S-Off to get that RELOCKED flag to say LOCKED.

From my experience with HTC warranty repairs, they don't really care about the bootloader being 'relocked', S-Off is a more common cause for them to not repair the device.
But, above differs per repair center / per country

You are S-ON so you need to relock the bootloader and run the ruu.
If you want to give all info to work with you need to post the outcome of :
Fastboot getvar all
Delete the serial and imei and post the list here.
Or check the firmware & nand backup thread here in the general section. Restore the stock rom and recovery and perform ota updates which also will upgrade the firmware

Has nothing to do with where he bought it from, it is depending on the phones hardware & software, for all we know its imported.
The specs are important not where he got it from. And you can't tie it down on how repair centers handle the phones....that's a matter of good luck !

I bought it second-hand from Qatar if you mean country.
Hi. I tried to use this guide but it I couldn't follow it through. I have relocked, tempered, S-ON, CID : TMOB102 phone. It is stuck in the HTC logo after a full wipe from twrp. I don't have OS, and the main version is empty. So far I have tried all the European RUU which gave CID error and 2 T-Mobile RUU's with MID error both. Can anyone give me a suggestion?
Problem extracting boot_signed.img
When I try to extract the boot_signed.img akk I get from Winzip is "cant find central directory"
Any ideas??

Please check if your device is unlocked. You can't flash boot.img's while on a locked bootloader.

You are using the wrong command ! It's :
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
NOT
Fastboot boot boot.img ! That's why you got stuck. And indeed make sure the bootloader is UNLOCKED before you flash !
While i don't even know flashing the boot.img and recovery seperatly first is actually needed because all that's needed is to relock the bootloader and run the ruu.exe or the temp rom.zip via sd card.
afaik the ruu method takes care of the boot.img and recovery on its own.
Got a problem with 3rd command (locking oem) in step 3. It goes like this:

Now my phone is stuck on my ROM's boot logo and now I can't access bootloader.
EDIT:
I've managed to access bootloader by holding power + volup and then holding vol down. After that installing via RUU went smooth.
Hi, I followed your instructions, but before I could start with 4th device booted up and i accidentaly accepted upgrade. It rebooted and upgraded the device, and then stuck on boot screen. Now I try to update it through RUU but it says image version 4.16.401.13, and I can't find RUU for that version. Any ideas? Can I somehow reinstall twrp and restore nandroid backup?
P.S. in bootloader it still says software status: modified :/
P.P.S. I still managed to make RUU go through all the steps, from a billionth time. It would usually stuck on steps 0, step 1, or step 3. Now it seems like it's booting fine... Time to shower away all the cold sweat from my body.
Hi Guys,
I have windows 8.1 and can't open rom.zip file. I have an error : The compressed Folder is invalid. Installed winzip, 7-zip - can't go ahead.
If you are having trouble sending the ruu and you are stuck at sending 0/7 or 1/8 and only htc logo. then just delete htc sync manager from your pc!!!

Htc desire 816 no os , no cwm/twrp

1st. Remove imei and imei 2 from first post for safety reasons.
2. Uninstall HTC Sync but keep everything else it installed..
3. Make sure you have Java installed ( not sure if you need it , but I always have it installed )
4. Have you tried flashing the zip again ? Boot loader locked ?
fastboot flash zip (name of zip)
If fails it should say flush again.. then redo the command.

First I Rooted it, Via CWM
Then I tried to Partition My SD card ,but failed , so i got it back to its original state.
Then Tried to install some random theme.zip through CWM
That's when the problem started (Stuck At black screen on Booting)
Then I'm not sure about this : I probably formatted the SYSTEM via CWM (Probably the reason for absent OS)
And I'm Not sure how I lost CWM : probably while flashing stock recovery.img (via Fastboot)
and then FASTBOOT OEM LOCK, tried to unlock it but i keep getting the same error.
and then i downloaded and installed this HTC SPECIAL FASTBOOT DRIVER DOWNLOAD & ADB SETUP DRIVER
and again tried to flash RECOVER.IMG, but failed.
So I Repeated the unlock procedure from the HTC website.
I get option , I select unlock , The Device REBOOTS, and FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK : FAILED
But , even then I try to Flash 0P9CIMG.zip which fails again and again.
I have no Idea Whats going on
I can only Access the bootloader menu.
Cannot Access recovery , a red triangle and ! appears.
PLEASE TELL ME YOU HAVE A SOLUTION.
I'M READY TO DOWNLOAD A NEW RECOVERY.IMG AND RUU FOR A5_DWG

Have you tried placing zip on external SDCard and name it 0P9CIMG.zip and let the boot loader do the RUU Update it's self.

1) To sim unlock I'm unsure of because I don't own a dual sim device ..
Unlock boot loader on htcdev.com
2&3) install official twrp from their website and download SuperSU 2.56

Red triangle with stock recovery flash
Cannot Access recovery , a red triangle and ! appears.
Just to chime in on the red triangle issue . I had that same issue when reflashing my stock recovery back to my rooted 816 single SIM and the issue was that the stock recovery was there but had that screen due to the fact that I had altered the phone and the triangle is an indicator of that for HTC I guess. I was able to get into the stock recovery by pressing and holding the power button then pressing volume up and waiting . When the stock recovery screen shows up you release the volume button I believe but it might be releasing both. It's been a while. Either way I got into the stock recovery but I ended up just reflashing TWRP custom recovery back and not doing my stock update as the zip file kept failing. Glad you got expert help with your issues and got it resolved.

To flash this on S-On, you must have your device Relocked (on S-Off you don't need to relock) and then in fastboot mode:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
fastboot reboot
Please be aware that you'll lose all data doing this.
If you're S-On you can only flash the zip that is for you CarrierID (CID). With superCID or modified CID value through S-OFF you can try to flash other regions RUUs.

Which version of your M9+?
cid:htc__038 --> Indian version ,you should download *hTC_Asia_WWE_1.08 .707.4* ...
In download mode, check your version first.
> fastboot getvar all
If you are s-off,you could flash the ROM.zip.
But if you are S-ON, your version should not be newer than 1.08.707.* .

Relocked your bootloader. Put the ROM.zip on the same fastboot/ADB directory in your local PC. Connect your device to PC by usb cable and execute these command to flash it.
Ok thanks. does it matter that the phone was Factory unlocked?
