Not bricked but pretty much there.

So here are firstly the details
-------------------------------
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-ON H
HBOOT -1.33.2010 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Jun 2 2009, 17:27:03
-------------------------------
As you can see above I have the engineering SPL but I am unable to flash via fastboot gives me the not verified error. I previously was stuck in a reboot loop which I finally got out by creating a goldcard and using 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip. I am able to use the phone but thats about it. There is no access to sd card I have tried numerous cards and they don't work.
From Inside the Phone:
-------------------------------
Firmware version: 1.5
Baseband version: 62.525.20.18U_3.22.20.17
Kernel version: 2.6.27-cb85e129
[email protected] #3
Build Number: 2.53.707.2 146733 CL#37318 test-keys
---------------------------------
I would like to thank anyone in advance for their help. I have searched and been searching the forums for 2 days non-stop usually its stated that you need an Engineering SPL (which I guess I am already using) can't downgrade because I have no access to sdcard either. Please help........

Try going here and grabbing the sappimg from there, load it onto your goldcard, and flash it from hboot the same way you did the first time. There's another guy I was working with on here that tried to use the same engineering SPL and it didn't work, but I don't know if he ever tried that one. The sappimg I'm referring you too is the same one I used when I rooted my phone. Give it a shot and let us know back here.

Thanks a lot I am going to grab it right now. Will update in a bit.
*UPDATE:*
No difference same as before cannot access sdcard and same SPL & Radio. No changes... :-(

Im a noob but I just recovered myself from a semi-brick.. What i did was to load the hero recovery back onto the phone via fast boot. flash hboot 1.76.2007 via recovery. Boot back into fastboot.
fastboot flash radio Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_3.22.20.17.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.2005.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader
check that you are running hboot 1.33.2005 radio 3.22.20.17
then flash your rom..
worked for me, maybe it will work for you. good luck

flash 1.76.2007 via recovery, not fastboot.
Link for Hboot 1.76.2007 ZIP
http://www.4shared.com/file/211145376/3da88b40/update-hboot-1762007-signed.html
another reason it might not be working is becuz your doing 'fastboot flash flash"
which if correct it should be 'fastboot flash hboot'

Sorry wasn't around. Thank you for responding.
Your right I was not using HBOOT but it didn't make a difference I still get the verification error using fastboot.
As you suggested I should try updating using recovery but like I said the SDcard is not detected. I used the "fastboot -c board_sapphire.disable_sdcard=0 boot recovery...*" and it detected the sd card when I try to update the using the zip file it gets stuck at Opening update package....
Any other options?

Help: Flashed a bad radio and bricked my phone

SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP50000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-2.22.23.02
I flashed the 2.22.23.02 through fastboot by mistake and now I can't get into recovery mode, or flash any other radios onto the phone. The fastboot menu is the only thing I can get to on the phone.
I tried reflashing the 2.22.23.02 again but it won't go through...
Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to unbrick it?
Edit: Tried sappimg.nbh via volume down and power button but i get a Model ID error. Now i can't fastboot anything over to my phone.
Edit: Flashed the sappimg.nbh, sappimg 2.16.707.3, sappimg 2.53.707.2, via gold card but I now get the error: Main Version is older!

I have answered similar questions before...
Use the search function.
But to get you started here is a quick solution.
1) flash eng spl that starts with 1.33.20XX where XX can be 05,09 or 10.
Restart into fastboot.
2) flash the right spl/radio/recovery combo.
This is confirmed to work....
Next time post ALL fastboot info... there are some info mission in your post!

all the fastboot info...
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A SHIP S-ON G

RADIO-2.22.23.02
I have just tried flashing hboot-1.33.2010 via fastboot.
However, I get the error message:
sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... FAILED (remote: not allow)

do this:
----- If you boot into fastboot and have issues with "fastboot:remote not allow", then your SPL won't work. Upgrade to Engineering SPL before continuing.
----- If you do not have an Engineering SPL, download 1.33.2010 and flash through recovery before starting this procedure. Flash the SPL update.zip like any other update.zip file.
in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239

Unfortunately... I can't boot into recovery either, nor can i push a recovery image to the phone. I get the same error: "fastboot:remote not allow".

ok... you are very limited...
Do this:
Find a suitable sappimg.nbh... Not sappimg.zip...
Use this which i just uploaded for you:
http://rapidshare.com/files/421772202/SAPPIMG.nbh
Using your goldcard flash the sappimg.nbh in fastboot.
The sappimg.nbh does not need any unzipping... it's a complete img of the nand and overwrites everything.

I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere....
is there a way to create a goldcard at this point for me?
I can't get into debug mode on the phone (for obvious reasons) and therefore can't do adb....

Find ANY android device and make a goldcard...
Then use the goldcard on your device...

wouldn't suppose anyone have the goldcard.img from their email that they could send me...

1)Download the -G magic RA recovery
2) rename it to recoveryG.img
3) run 'fastboot boot recoveryG.img' (with the phone in fastboot mode)
4) allow recovery to boot then run the following adb commands
Code:
adb push recoveryG.img /tmp/recoveryG.img
adb flash_image recovery /tmp/recoveryG.img
5) Now power down the phone
6) boot into recovery by holding home+power
10) flash 1.33.2009 or 1.33.2010
Now you will have fastboot again
Most likely you will want to find and flash via fastboot radio 3.22.20.17 if you are not a Rogers/Fido customer or have signed the e911 wavier, otherwise you want 3.22.26.17..
After flashing the 3.x radio flash RA -h recovery via fastboot (and while in fastboot run 'fastboot erase system -w'); this will let you flash the ebi1 rom of choice

I just downloaded the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img
renamed it so recoveryG.img.
When i try to run the command: fastboot boot recoveryG.img
I get the error message:
downloading 'boot.img'...FAILED (remote: not allow)

Then its best to just install the official e911 ruu from rogers and re-root

I have tried that, but it doesn't work...

Yes, I'm also not sure why people are ignoring that fact that you can't use fastboot either :-S

My bad, using my phone and completely missed the first page.
EDIT: I think mum was on the right track. Your going to need a goldcard. No one will be able to send you their .img because its SD card specific. You don't know anyone with a Android based phone?

Looks like i'm getting progress....?
I have a gold card now thanks to my friend, however...
when I try to flash the SAPPIMG.nbh I get a Main Version is older!
I also tried the 2.53.707.2 SAPPIMG.zip and I still get this error.
I also just tried 2.16.707.3 SAPPIMG.zip and I still get this error.

YOU ARE STILL MAKING THE GOLDCARD THE WRONG WAY...
You should not get that error msg...
Try to remake the goldcard.

Did it on two different SD cards, the same way I did it before to get my phone off perfected SPL... not sure what I could've done to do it wrong this time around.....
a mmc CID can't change right?

[Q] Can i unbrick my magic 32a?

i think i brick my phone...how when i power on,it only keeps on boot into htc magic...so is there any think i can do or?

Please can you provide more info.
It's like going to the doctor and saying the you feel pain and nothing else!
Do you have fastboot access?
Do you have recovery access?
What did you do before you phone went dead?
What model, radio,spl and rom do you have?

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?

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)
CPLD-12
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 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.

[Q] MT3G 1.2 -the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly at startup

Hi,
I have a tmobile mytouch 3g 1.2 (3.5mm jack phone). I tried to root my phone and it failed during the SYSTEM---UnZipping process. (it stuck there forever). I then looked at options of unrooting it. When I apply SAPPIMG.zip it says Main Version Older! Update Fail!
Then I reboot the phone in recovery mode (tried to reset to factory settings and then reboot). The phone gives me the below error upon startup. The only thing i can see is an notification bar.
the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. "FORCE CLOSE"
Please can someone help me how to get my phone working? Appreciate all your help!

If you go to tmobile.com then go to there forum under android development you will see a topic called how to unroot the mytouch. In that topic they have a link for the original sappimg .. download to your zip cars in the root of the card (no folders) then just boot into hboot and apply the sappimg. I have done it many times so I know it works. Then when you go to root your just us the universal androot method. Feel few to pm me i
ent from my HTC Magic using XDA App

Type this in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
Then we can try to see if we can update it.
If not, you can always try to flash RUU.
The system starts, that's a good thing -> you have adb access!
Just don't go around and flash all kind of sapphire.nbh/zip...
Wait intil you have the right info :0)

I have had this problem and solved it. I would either get this acore stopped working error or just a loop in the boot screen. I think what caused this is there is not enough internal room for the ROM and gapps. Make sure you wipe everything. Do you have a nandroid backup? Can you get into recovery? Which recovery do you have installed? Do this, make a goldcard. Use fastboot to reroot the phone because you may have halfway unrooted it and made root useless. Boot into recovery and wipe. Install from sd any MyTouch ROM without Gapps. This should get you into the OS and now you can use other methods of getting your phone back. When I got here I used nandroid backup to get my phone back to a date it was when it worked and have had no problems since.

i did not take any nandroid backup ...i got into revovery boot...but whn i did the wipe clean option and reboot i get this error.
to make a gold card i would need to have the USB debugging enabled right? I am not able to go past the error screen (Home does not work, settings does not work )
and when i run the adb devices command, it does not display my devices. (But i have the number noted down when i tried to root the phone which failed...)
is there any other way to enable the USB Debugging as I am not able to open settings or even see anything on my phone...?
Would there be any option that's something like doing a System Restore to an earlier date on Windows OS on the computer?
please let me know the next steps...appreciate all of your help...

You tried to root with wrong guide.
The sapphire.zip/nbh image you used if for the 32A.
How do i know that ?
Well the main version nr tells me that you have flashed this:

Yes...
You have the right radio/spl combo. That's good.
The problem is that your main version is set to high.
If you try to flash any RUU for the 1.2 magic, you will get main-version older error...
Even if you use a goldcard.
Do you still have access to adb?
Even for a little... then we can flash a custom recovery and get the system back.
Even if your system don't start up... as long you can boot more then 20 sec and you don't get reboots.
If not, then we have to flash a 32A sappimg.zip using a goldcard.
From there we flash custom recovery. Then eng spl. Then flash system,boot, userdata. Then flash the 1.2 spl... Then we are done :0)
So it's a long one... but first test if we have adb access.
Code:
adb devices

adb devices does not give me anything...its not working

Does the computer recognise the device?
Maybe it's driver related...
PS: check your pm

[Q] Magic - Fastboot: FAILED (remote: not allowed)

Hi there,
I'd like to update to a newer Android Version. So as I read I have to flash a new recovery first. I tried to create a gold card in order to flash this new recovery but I still get an error when I use fastboot.
I read several tutorials and threads in this forum but i couldn't find the right answer. I hope someone can help me.
Is there a problem with a "ScanDisk" gold card...?
Error in Fastboot (sudo ./fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img):
sending 'recovery' (4520 KB)... FAILED (remote: not allow)

You said you have a Goldcard already, right?
Also, only do this if your Magic is a 32B. If it's a 32A, you're bricked for life (and I'm not responsible). It says on the fastboot screen which you are.
If it is a 32B, get the first download from the NBH/ZIP section of this thread <a href=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218>here</a> (Make sure to read the warnings at the top) and put it on your normal SD card.
Then, boot into HBOOT mode by either
1. Booting into Fastboot mode and pushing volume down.
2. Booting phone with volume down pressed.
It should find the sappimg after a minute. If not, make sure the sappimg is on the SD card not in any folders and also that it's named SAPPIMG.zip.
Choose yes to all the questions. If it has an error, reboot and try again or try it on a Goldcard.
Now fastboot should work and you can do whatever.

1.33.0013 is perfected SPL, remote commands are disabled in this hboot.
If you have custom recovery (AmonRa or Clockworkmod), then you are lucky.
If not, then you must install official ROM: 3.12.531.1 T-Mobile USA FRG83D
http://www.4shared.com/file/j64ygA9t/RUU_Sapphire_T-Mobile_US_31253.html
After that, you can root phone with SuperOneClick, then install custom recovery, and custom rom (via custom recovery)

I already rooted using superone click but my phone wont boot after I tried to flash a rom how do I get it to boot up and work again I'm freaking out oh an I have clockwork recorvery image that's how I tried to flash the rom but i dont have a goldcard can i still use the same method can u give me a walk through or is there a way using clockwork mod

If you have custom recovery - just flash custom rom via it.
P.s. but choose appropriate rom (with tags 32b)
