Hi guys.
I tried changing my spl, radio,recovery to old using Radio Switcher v."GUI 4.1
I had firmware 2.0 running before and wanted to update to 2.2 so tired changing to old spl before updating new firmware from zip. But now If I try to load the old radio, the green bar loads, then a red bar appears and then, screen starts to flicker. Then the whole screen black out. Can someone help me fix this. been trying whole day to fix this.
Here is my print info
Radio version: 6.35.16.19.
SPL/hboot version: 1.76.2007.
product: sapphire.
mid: sapp10000.
security: off.
build-mode: eng.
that's what I did with my phone about 3 months ago and never turned back on I guess it's bricked but wanted to see if there's away to bring it back to life I have the mytouch 4G now but miss my little mytouch 3G
Oh CMON! pls don't say that! isn't there anyway this could be fix!>?

What phone are you using to be exact?
Vodafone HTC Magic
Can you get into fastboot? Do you see a led when charging up the phone?

yes i can get it to fastboot and the led is orange when i connect via usb cable.
I believe you have a 32b device. Please take a look at this post.
Judging by the reply, i think you have mixed radio/spl combo. The 6.35 radio is for the 32A devices.

But now on the fastboot screen top it say's "Sappjire Pvt 32A Eng S-OFF H.
BTW that link has nothing but just one question/
So is your vodafone magic 32A or 32B before you flash anything?
I have read this link and tried flashing the newspl, nr 1.76.2007 but at the end of the loading bar the screen goes blank and it fails flashing.

OMG! I didn't check that before trying this. but now it shows 32A. Damn!
Easy now...
Relax... you have eng spl... we have full control :0)
What's your fastboot info... ALL OF IT!
I need the CPLD to determin which device you have..
If you have CPLD-10, then you have 32B... if it CPLD-12 then it's 32A...
Provide the info, and we make sure you are done in 15 min :0)

okay I know it show's not rooted, yesterday it wasn't like that, I even got to load to the recovery screen, but AGAIN I think i flashed or loaded my phone to 3A. My phone is google branded so I guess its 3B because in 3B i can flash and load anything without getting the screen going blank and all. So today I have been trying to root it again because obviously now i can use the radio switcher or anything.
I'm following these cyanogem mod instructions here
but after following up to these instructions
# Copy the COC10 build (SAPPIMG.nbh) file (and no others!!) to your SD card.
# Shut down the device.
# Reboot into fastboot by holding Volume Down + Power (you should see three Androids on skateboards)
I only see
<vol down> HBoot mode
<send> reset device
<action> reset to Hboot
<menu> power down
So what i did from here was pressed vol down and a screen appears, starting to load boot etc. and shows no image, no boot etc..
I'M STUCK HERE AGAIN.!

I think I have to find a way to get back to 32B from 32A before doing anything.
You just messed up big time.
Your eng spl just got deleted.
I told you, this could be fixed in 15 min if only you gave the info i wanted.
Why are working in the blind?
Why did you not wait for instructions?
I only wanted 1 little thing from you... and you go and totally mess up your device.
DON'T WORK IN THE BLIND.
DON'T FLASH STUFF UNTIL YOU ARE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE FLASHING.
If you want help, then do this:
Write here ALL, i repeat, ALL your fastboot info.
Also, execute this command and post back the result:
Code:

Then you sit and do NADA, until i tell you what to do.

I'm wanting to flash my HTC Magic (32B) to an Android 2.1 + Sense UI ROM. I've read a million HowTo guides (some better than others ), I've decided on my ROM and Recovery Image, got all the tools installed, and I'm ready to rock n' roll.
Only there is one little problem: I have a "perfect" SPL (1.33.0006, to be precise). Now the solution is fairly simple, update the SPL to an Engineering SPL, and I'll be able to go my merry way, however before that, I need to figure out a few things:
1) Is it possible to roll back to an older SPL? Eg if I updated to say Engineering SPL 1.33.2010 from Amon_RA's Magic SPL HBOOT collection, would I be able to roll back to 1.33.0006 at a later date?
2) Can I make a backup of my current SPL, for the above purposes?
3) What's the deal with Radios? There are plenty of guides and threads about ROMs and SPLs, but very little about Radios. Would I need to update my radio (RADIO-2.22.19.26I) if I used an Engineering SPL (eg Eng SPL 1.33.2010)?

Currently running stock Android 1.6 (which seems rather slow compared to 1.5 it was running before it updated).
If you can boot into recovery to flash a new SPL then your current one is not perfected and does not need to be changed.
I can't boot into recovery. Home + Power On brings the phone to the screen with an exclamation mark in a triangle, and then it hangs (need to pull the battery out to restart). Also, remote fastboot from the PC command line fails (Remote: not allow). And according to the XDA's Magic wiki page, 1.33.0006 is one of the known perfected SPLs, which it seems that most of the Australian Magics are shipping with.

You should only need to press Home + Back (IIRC) to bring up the recovery menu to be able to reboot from this screen instead of pulling the battery.

Unfortunately they are not only shipping them with perfect SPLs, but forcing them upon users post-repair. Had a very unfortunate dealing with Fonebiz in Melbourne, HTC's only authorised repairer in Australia, they took my easy to deal with 1.33.0004 Kiwi Magic and put one of their dirty Aussie boards in it and gave me an equally dirty 1.33.0007.
But as you know, this is easily fixed with an engineering spl, but the bottom line is that 'technically' your warranty is void. In all my searching I failed to find any command that would in effect pull the current spl off the phone. That being said I would imagine that grabbing the correct sappimg.nbh that contains the hboot.img matching yours and ripping it out (possibly with psas?) The only issue you're faced with there is finding that single correct file.
Upgrading your radio shouldn't be necessary, I'm on the stock 2.22.09.26I with 1.33.2005.

Pressing Home+Back doesn't bring up a recovery menu, but it does reboot the phone.

It looks like most of the ways to break a perfect SPL require reflashing the Radio anyway, so I might not have much choice.

Details were from a phone new out of the box. I haven't quite figured out why my phone is SAPHIRE UNKNOWN 32B while almost everyone else is SAPHIRE PVT 32B

Indeed, but if you read the guides fully you are walked through reflashing the stock radio when you're done downgrading. The guide I followed included flashing a sappimg.zip the basically gave it the SPL and radio of a 32A device, then reverting it back to 32B, so you're never stuck with an upgraded radio just because you have an engineering SPL.

From my own personal experience it seems to me that this Unknown vs PVT thing is in fact related to the SPL. I started with 1.33.0007 and Unknown, while following the guide at http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/14/how-to-root-your-mytouch-3g/ my SPL was changed to 0009 and PVT, then once I flashed the engineering SPL 2005 I was back to Unknown again.
Would be very interested to find out what goes on with yours during the rooting process, if you wouldn't mind
Well, I just flashed the SPL to ENG 1.33.2010 by using this guide to make the gold card:
theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
And this guide to flash the SPL (using the provided 1.33.2010 SPL):
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218
Flash went successfully, and the phone data now reads:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Time to start flashing some ROMs
Ok, I may have hit a snag. I rooted the phone following the Unlockr guide, and then followed the next guide to install a Hero ROM on the Magic:
theunlockr.com/2009/08/17/how-to-load-hero-onto-your-mytouch-3g/
Except I used a different ROM to that.
Unfortunately I now have the problem that when I try and boot normally, the phone will hang at the Vodafone screen. I can still boot into recovery (recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G), and I can still fastboot, but it won't boot a ROM normallly.
Phone Details currently:

I can run 32A ROMs such as Amon_RA's 32A based image (as per the Unlockr rooting guide), but any 32B ROM will freeze. Anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this?
Ok, about 5 minutes after post thing, I WAS able to get a 32B rom to work. This one, in fact:

If you can fastboot, you need to flash a 1.76... SPL to go with your 6.35 radio like 1.76.2007.
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.76.2007.img
Might be due to S-ON, it won't allow me to write any SPL, radio or recovery img. When I used the Radio Switcher, it said failure. When I used adb, it said "signature verify fail".
I even tried to use SAPPIMG.nhb but it stucked at radio update.
The last hope there is I still can access to the holy fastboot.
Please help me, guys.

1)See the radio version... thats for the 32A devices... big no-no
2)see the spl... there is a mismatch between the spl and radio... second big no-no.
3) see the 32A... it should be 32B.. third big no-no
The only way you can flash anything is by flashing a matching spl, so the radio and spl can work together.. from there you flash a different combo to match the device you have. The problem is you have s-on, the forth no-no, which complicates thing further...
In other words, you are in deep sh't :0|
You are not completely bricked... but you are very close to...
The fix:
It's a very dangerous approach... post here if you are willing to take a major risk :0)
Thanks mumilover.
I do know that I'm in deep deep Sh!T.
Please post your solution, as I consider my phone in dead anyway now. Can take any risk for testing purpose
Start with these commands:

fastboot oem h
Post back the results
Hey,

Then, what should I do now?
@ mumilover: I sent you my gmail contact
Guys, I think the danger approach original guide is
HERE
@mumilover: please have a look at this link & confirm what should us (me & Crazy_Scientist) should do next. I'm dare NOT to try any more without guidance from professional.
Update 1:
I just tried a bit & confirmed that I CAN boot in rebootRUU. Waiting for mumilover's guide.
Update 2:
Now stuck in RUU mode. Feel like I'm r*ping my phone's corpse. Ha ha ha.
The guide you referring to has a set of well known commands, like the sd-card enabler and flash of misc partition.
But it does not help us in your case.
What i want to do is something else... i want to flash a RUU using a goldcard.. but while the device is flashing we take out the battery in the right moment... this way we force to flash the only spl... this way we gain a matching combo, and then try to forcefully boot the device... it will not succeed to boot all the way, but i will give us some time to try a different approach :0)
PS: i got your pm, but the time difference makes it a little hard to communicate :0|
So, that will be the idea. I think I know what to do.
But I don't have any RUU img with good SPL yet. If you know any, please provide me the link. Thanks.
Besides, from the command in fastboot, I found that I always stuck at radio point 97 when updating radio. The rest will be ok.
What I want to ask is there any sappimg that can update without / bypassing radio update?

Not a sappimg, the second part of the sappimg flash process is going to be the radio. AFAIK, there is no way to bypass this.
And Crazy_Scientist is back to life running CM and enjoying his non-brick :0)
It took 3 hours to get him back to a running system, and 7.5 min to root and flash custom rom hihihihi
camapghe please post here so i can see you still active or not... no logic in writing the solution if the OP is absent :0)
And just as a side-note, every sappimg.(nbh|zip) has it's own flash order... so the trick is to flash a sappimg which flashes the spl before the radio... and stop it before it updates the version-main nr, so we can flash a different sappimg just after it without the need to change the misc partition.
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. :/

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.

At the bottom of the screen there is an image of a microchip and a red hexagon with two crosses.
When I plug-in the phone to my computer "RUU" changes to "RUU USB".
The only command I can run from the cmd prompt is "fastboot". ADB does not work and I don't seem to be able to browse to my sdcard.
What I Have Tried So Far:
1. I have tried using the “fastboot” command to boot and flash images, radios, and hboots. Nothing works. Either my cmd prompt hangs or it just says “FAILED”.
2. I downloaded a variety of stock RUU ROMs. The Singapore/Philippine ROMs seemed to work but then I got the error “BOOTLADER VERSION ERROR”. With all other ROMs I got the Customer ID error.
3. I tried to make a goldcard, but the steps to make one requiring being able to use the “adb” command and whenever I try this it says “daemon starting” and then “error: device not found” (or something similar). So, I am unable to find the CID of my SD card and I am unable to make a “goldcard”.
What I Want To Do:
My phone was originally rooted and working fine. I was going to sell it to someone so I thought I would flash the stock Sense UI. I guess along the way I made a mistake and now it seems to be bricked.
Please note that I have tried steps 1 to 3 and they do not work. I have gone through hundreds of threads on XDA and other forums. Clearly, I need to figure out a new way of doing this.
If you could help me get it working (in any way, shape or form) I would be helpful.
Run this command:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main

Thanks!
I'm at work right now, will try it when I get home. What should I expect after running the command?
More help :0)
I need the version to assess the state of the device.
I could be a simple reflash or some solution. But need to know what version you are on now.
You could spare yourself some time by doing a goldcard... just to be sure :0)

Ok thanks. Will give you the information when I can do it.
As I mentioned I am unsure how to do a goldcard if I cannot access the adb command. Basically, I can't do anything on my phone so how am I supposed to do the adb command?
Output of fastboot getvar version-main is
version-main: 3.04.401.2

That nr. is for HTC Austria test-signed.
You need Singapore/Phillippines WWE... but the newest for you cid nr is 3.03.707.5.
The only solution for your problem is to make a goldcard...
You can make a goldcard on ANY android phone... it will work for your phone also.
Thanks. But, I only have the one Android phone and my friends don't have any. Is there any way to make a goldcard without the Android phone?
Thanks
Nop... ANDROID as far as i know.
Thanks, but I guess my device is effectively bricked then
ok I managed to get a spare Android device and create a goldcard. Now what do I do?
Are you still looking for help?

Thanks for replying. Yes I do. Basically I created a goldcard using my GS2. I think I did everything that I had to do and the goldcard is visible on my computer so I think it works.
Basically, what steps do I have to take now?
Thanks

1)rename the first file to sappimg.zip
2)put it on the goldcard
3)start in hboot mode (hold volume - together with power. '-' = volume decrease)
4)The device should restart into fastboot by it self, then power it down. If not just power it down when its done flashing.
5)rename the second file to sappimg.zip
6)put it on the goldcard (overwrite the old file if you have to)
7)start in hboot mode (hold volume - together with power. '-' = volume decrease)
8)Once done flashing, just restart into the system as a normal boot.
9) This should boot up a stock nordic rom. From there you should follow my root guide found in my signature. Do the custom recovery and eng spl.
10)come back here when all steps are done.
Post here if you get any problems.

Thanks for the response a few things:
Firstly, would you mind posting the file elsewhere (either MediaFire, Dropbox, or XDA-FTP itself). Unfortunately, rapidshare is blocked in Singapore.
Secondly, my phone only boots into the white fastboot screen, no matter what I press or do. I am not near my phone right now (and will test this method later), but I am fairly confident it won’t boot into hboot mode.
Again thanks for the response and hopefully it will work!
While we're on the same topic, I have the exact same problem as the OP, I've got no recovery and only have access to fastboot and hboot, problem is in the details:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT 1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO 6.35.10.18
and after running the getvar command as the expert suggested, my version is this:
2.10.531.4
I've tried what I assumed to be everything, I try pushing new radio and recovery images through fastboot, but it just won't work since I have the damn S-ON thing. And every SAPPIMG i find seems to just outright fail. Either it says incorrect Model ID, or in one case the damn thing flashed the locked hboot (put me in an even bigger pickle) and then hung at flashing the new radio. After 2 hours of it hanging, I gave up. Any advice would be appreciated, it's a friends phone and I said I'd do him a favor by rooting it (as I have rooted several android devices before) but I had no idea this device would be this difficult. I do have a goldcard.
I just tried the first sappimg file in your answer post, and it once again told me incorrect Model ID I don't know how much it matters, but I have the Mytouch 3G with the 3.5mm headphone jack.
T-MOB010 is my CID

Please help mee~!!!>.......
The problem is you have mismatching spl/radio versions.
We need to fix that by changing the spl version to a 3.22 radio compatible one. The spl should be 1.33.xxxx.
But also here we have a problem. Your system version is high. We cannot find any RUU which has the same or higher version than what you already have, and contains an old spl version (the 1.33.xxxx version).
What we can do is to change the system version. That requires access to the system or recovery. You don't have access to both... so again... no luck.
You have 3 options:
1) Jtag it (hard to find anyone to do it for you, and very complicated to do it yourself)
2) XTC clip (very expansive, better buy a new phone)
3) Try to run this command: fastboot oem boot
and see if the device boots into the system. If it does, KEEP IT A LIVE AND POST HERE FOR HELP.

XTC clip got its price reduced by 83 % on their wesite (from 310 to 54 usd)
Yea... but is the phone worth it?
A new phone will cost you the same or a little bit more...
sir what about my case
sapphire unknown 32a ship s-on g
hboot- is for 32b(sapp10000)
2.22etc. also for 32b
after i flash sappimg.nbh, it became like that and i cant access recovery mode, bootloader only , but i cant change the spl and i cant put recovery.img. it says remote:now allow
The answer is found in your thread..
no it remains at the Fastboot mode.It vibrates and cmd stucks at INFO0 and after 2 minutes the phone does a soft reset showing the HTC logo and after 2 minutes again and again...XTC clip is 30 eyros and at ebay more cheaper..Are you sure that this will fix it?.Also if i try to flash a rogers rom with goldcard that has higher version than the current???But i heard about a risk that if it works you are ok but if not i will make the things worse...is that true?
And has HBOOTPREUPDATE = 12 (i thing is about hboot) and i created a goldcard Sandisk 2gb with SimpleGoldCard_v1.I took the CID of the memory stick from my other mobile HTC Desire
As long as you have mismatching spl/radio you will get failing radio flash.
