First of all, wrong section. Moving to General. Next time your post will be trashed.
Secondly, your not bricked. Please check your definitions.
Third, try flashing the engineering bootloader via goldcard method and then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (Amon_RaG or ClockworkMod for MyTouch/Ion).
Then power off your phone and hold the home button while powering it back on.
You should now have a recovery. From there try flashing the rom again. If it still doesn't appear to be doing anything then do a wipe and reflash.
Thanks for the tips, ill go for that right now.
sorry for the wrong section. Im wouldve put it in the Q&A section if there was one.
EDIT:
The only guide for a goldcard I've found requires a working phone. Mine doesnt work.

Seriously?
myTouch 3G, Magic General
Discussion about the T-Mobile myTouch 3G, HTC Magic (general Q&A, tips & tricks)
Ok Im blind, sorry.
But still have a bricked phone. and if the MT3g section is anything like the HD2 section. the only place to get answers is the DEV section.
Your going to have to find someone with an Android phone (any Android phone will work) to create the goldcard.
No need. If you got adb access you can flash the custom recovery from there (cm 6.1 has the SU and flash_image binaries).
Then simply load the custom recovery and fix your rom/OS (flash a new one or wipe or what ever).
Take a look at my guide (check my signature) and you will find all the steps needed. Just make sure you use G recovery and NOT H.
Good luck hunting!
To add to that, what radio are you using? You only gave us your hboot.

If you put the goldcard in and boot to your bootloader and press the back key it will load your goldcard and flash the engineering spl.

He stated that the rom won't load and he can't load the recovery. His spl is S-ON so from where I sit the goldcard method is his ONLY choice.
If that doesn't work then he's pretty much SOL.

If you have a ****ed spl/radio combo, then all this is for nothing and there are other issues to be fixed first!
Its kinda a difficult situation. I only have adb access for a little while while @ the Cm screen, then it goes away, and Im stuck at the CM screen. I have attemped the goldcard a couple times, but I dont have the correct card, and none of mine seem to work. Wife was shopping, and could only find SanDisk cards, and it didnt work.
Radio is 2.22.23.02
Im gonna attempt anything and everything I can think of to get it to work, but I might have to just run into town and find a damn Kingston card.
SanDisk cards work, got mine sitting in a box in my closet from where I rooted my phone. It may be a procedure that's wrong, not the SD card.
Ok well I managed to get the goldcard made, but when I get into HBOOT, it scans the card and states: no image or wrong image for the sappimg.zip.
file is @ the root of my sdcard, and wont read it, yet when I dont have the goldcard setup, it reads the file just fine. same exact file.

Its not. I've managed to get 2 goldcards succefully made, verified that multiple times, but it just doesnt work. It will not read the file from the SDcard.
I can put the same file on my sdcard from my HD2 and it will read it no problem.
I might play around with it more, but for now, Im calling it a brick.
Just to make sure, have you tried downloading the sappimg file again?

Yea, I've got 3 or 4 different ones on my PC, tried all, none work. It reads the sdcard and just passes it by.
Im really stumped. Followed the goldcard method to a "T" with 4 cards, 2 actually succeed in the proccess, but niether will get the sappimg.zip to read.
After installing the card into the phone and, attempting the Hboot, the HEX gets changed on the card also, just a few values, nothing exteme
IDK if thats normal or what, but it happens.
I don't think it should change anything so that may be your problem. I'm pretty sure I looked at mine after using it and it was the same. Weird.
well last resort, gonna turn my 8gb class 6 sdcard for my HD2 into a goldcard, and check.
after putting the sappimg on the sdcard w/o formating, goldcard or anything, the MT reads the sappimg, and attempts, but gets the error, of course. So im attempting the goldcard right now.
UPDATE:
It worked, got eng SPL on the phone, figured I would just follow CM guide for rooting to verify that it will work. but Im stuck:
# Once it finishes flashing, it should ask you to reboot. Reboot and let it load to the new "htc Magic" boot screen.
# Chances are at this point that the phone will not successfully boot. THIS IS NORMAL. Simply remove and re-insert the battery, as we're not done yet!
# Download the following zip file (the stock myTouch SPL and Radio) and extract it: [1]
# Copy the two files inside the zip to the root of your SD Card
# Take the latest Amon_RA recovery you downloaded earlier and copy it to the root of your SD Card.
# Download terminal emulator from the market and run the following commands:
flash_image flash radio /sdcard/radio.img
flash_image flash hboot /sdcard/hboot_7201A_1.33.0013G_091021.nb0
flash_image flash recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G-cyan.img

Items in red are the issue, if the phone doesnt boot, how am I supposed to get into market?
Done and Done! phone is working again. I guess I should've tried my nice sdcard a while ago, but I didnt want to screw it up.
Oh well. Thanks for all the tips and ideas guys!
I rooted my Mytouch 3G 1.2 and have routinely upgraded the CM roms as they were released with no problems. I went to unroot the thing so i could sell it on ebay, but ran into problems. Currently it will load into Hboot, but will hang while unzipping system files. It appears to go into Fastboot, but I can't get a computer (fastboot commander or command prompt) to communicate with it. It shows fastboot and changes to Fastboot USB when connected to a computer, but that's all I get. I've tried various drivers and sappimg files. I have read that if it shows any signs of life then it can be saved. I have searched for hours trying to find solutions but haven't made any progress. Current Fastboot screen shows Sapphire RE Unknown 32A Eng S-Off H
HBOOT 1.33.2010

Radio- 3.22.20.17
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You need to get AndroidSDK installed. Is the computer detecting the phone? Does anything for the phone show up in Control Panel?
I have AndroidSDK installed on my computer, but adb devices doesn't list anything.

He flashed the engineering SPL used for the goldcard method and didn't do anything after. Hopefully he'll still be able to get fastboot working so we can get him straightened out.

That sounds about right Kevin and DonJuan. I've got a new baby and my attention to detail and directions isn't what it should be right now
I found that part of the problem I was having was with my wretched Vista laptop and a driver issue. When working on my XP desktop I can see the device in fastboot devices. I do have the headphone jack and realized that I do have the wrong radio. I think I'm sort of lost as to where my phone exists right now in the process of unrooting.
Thank you both for your fast replies.
Use the "Old school" rooting guide in my signature starting at Step #4. That will put you back on CM. I would leave it rooted to sell it unless you've got a buyer requesting for it to be stock as you may pull more interest. If your dead set on going back stock, you should be able to stop at Step #9 in the guide, turn the phone off, download this file, rename it to "sappimg.zip", put it on the root of your SD card, with it in the phone, turn it on holding volume down+power, and then follow the instructions on screen.
Awesome, I'm in Amon-Ra's recovery. Can I use it to restore a clockworkmod backup or are the two recovery methods incompatible? I guess part of my question should be whether my phone is technically rooted or unrooted at this point. Could I load a recovery from step nine of your guide and be done with it?
I tried using the stock img that you linked to (because I see stock MyTouch phones on eBay selling more often than rooted ones) but it gave me the Main version is older" message which is what got me started down this road in the first place. At this point, if I could get back to my backed up CM6.1 I would call it good.
P.S. I really appreciate your time and will donate.
If I'm not mistaken both recoveries use the nandroid backup. Just try restoring and see if it'll take. If not then you may just end up having to re-flash it. So what you were actually trying to do is flash the engineering SPL to bypass the version check. You flashed an entire sappimg which changes pretty much everything. Instead you should have used the engineering ZIP that's floating around which you would have flashed from recovery and it would've only changed the SPL.
I got everything back to where I started with your guidance. I guess you were right DonJuan, my CM6.1 MyTouch sold within 30 minutes on ebay for $125. Thanks again.
Hello,
I've got an HTC Magic UK Vodafone branded phone (32B) which had the official OTA 2.2.1 install which included SPL 1.33.0013 and Radio 2.22.28.05 (shows S-ON in the top right).
Now it's let me root it with SuperOneClick and SU seems to be working OK but it wont let me flash any kind of recovery.
If i try any fastboot commands i get "remote:Not Allowed", now i've been reading through the forums and i've got myself very confused with all the different solutions and none of them seemed to happen to anyone running 1.33.0013.
Anyone who's a bit more up on the HTC Magics able to give me a pointer on what i need to do? do i have to try and flash back to 1.6 (not sure how to do that yet) or do i need to start wipeing and changing SPLs? My phone is a Dell Streak and this is the wifes phone, bit of a different kettle of fish this one.
If i've missed the obvious post that answers all of this please just point me to it and the mods can delete this post but i couldn't find my exact situation anywhere.
Thanks
Pete
Use rom manager to flash recovery. The new hboot is s-on so no fastboot
Sent from my Gingerbread on Sapphire using XDA Premium App
I was using ROM Manager but i just read another guide which mentioned although it's an HTC Magic, the 32B means i need to select Ion/MT3G not the HTC Magic option!
Which means i've been trying to flash the wrong recovery, could be why i was getting nowhere.
Thanks for the hboot heads up, i wondered why i couldn't get any commands to work.
I'll try the correct recovery in a mo and see how i go....
you sir are a genius lol that was indeed my problem....just talked the wife through it over MSN and she's describing the 1.70 recovery screen now woohoo!
Now to decide what things to start flashing on it hehe More reading to be done
Hey guys,
I have the original myTouch 3g (no 3.5mm jack).
I decided to unroot and go back to T-Mobile's original Froyo version (i know stupid idea). I attempted to use SAPPIMG.nbh file to go back to factory. Unfortunately, it didn't work so I tried using SAPPIMG.zip. Now I have a Vodaphone splash screen instead of the T-Mobile one. no access to recovery, or anything. I can access fastboot. Where did I go wrong?? (aside from wanting to un-root myself)
Any help would be appreciated!

well if u can access fast boot you can probably flash recovery again
fastboot flash recovery "recovery file.img"
or try to boot recovery
fastboot boot "recovery file.img"
I attempted to do that but I get a signature failed error and booting recovery file just leaves me stuck at the red Vodafone splash image. Nothing else comes on.
try finding the proper sapping.nbh file for your area / carrier.
place it in the root of your memory stick by its self. turn on your phone while holding vol down and let it flash the file. you should end up back on stock 1.5 i think just root again after. i had a similar problem like this like last week and had to start over =/

I have tried multiple different sappimg.nbh files. But the problem is that now it somehow has Vodafone files on it. So i'm not sure how to get it back to T-mobile.
Every time I try the SAPPIMG.nbh it gives me the following error: Main version is older.
If I try to use a SAPPIMG.zip I get the following error: Model ID incorrect. Everything sort of fails when it checks for the signature.
Also, when I try to upload amon ra recovery to recovery partition with fastboot I get remote: signature verify fail.
Wrong section!!!!
@crazy
You're new here... so let me warn you here and now. The Development section is for the members that want to post their work such as roms, scripts, hacks, etc. When I'm in a bad mood and I see posts in the development section that are not development related I normally just delete them. However, I'm in a good mood and decided to move it to GENERAL where it belongs. HOWEVER... next time it will dissappear. Please take a few minutes and carefully read over the forum rules and stickies before posting. We also have a search feature that works quite well (most of the time).
If I see that you posted a new thread about something that is found in a sticky, already been answered and can be found by using the search feature or against forum rules you're post will be deleted and you may even be subject to losing your membership.
Besides all of that... enjoy and welcome!
Thanks for your help @Binary.
I searched all through the forums and tried to flash a recovery through fastboot. NO go.
Next I tried the gold card method and with that I continue to get either Model ID incorrect or Main version is older. So here I am seeking guidance from everyone else who may know what I can try next.
Thanks in advance for all your help guys.
It seems like your Mytouch 3g haven't flashed recovery.img just choose a suitable image to flash. XD

How do I force flash the recovery image? Any time I try flashing any recovery image via fastboot the signature check fails. Is there an official recovery image that would work?
Any help guys? Still not running.
can you boot into system or not?
if yes,root your device and flash recovery.That's what I did yesterday.
if not,use SAPPIMG.nbh again,and then flash rec,radio/spl through fastboot.
i don't know if it helps,just try it.

Woah woah woah dude. You can't just have someone flash a sappimg just because it worked for your device. He needs a specific one. That one may work, but there's the same percentage chance that it could also brick his phone.

Thanks Don Juan for the heads up and looking out, but i'm getting desperate at this point. I have read through almost all the threads on the forum regarding my issue. The only thing I haven't tried is the GoldCard method at this point. Unfortunately and quite bad on my part, I never made one. Now, attempting to make one without Android is almost impossible. I can't read the SD card CID on anything. I've tried a mac, windows XP, windows 7, I even tried Linux but nothing.
Any insights and words of wisdom are greatly appreciated.

Can you give me till tomorrow when I'll be able to sit down at a computer and give some proper guidance? One thing is for sure, if we have to make a goldcard you'll have to see if you can borrow an Android phone from a friend. What you can do in the meantime is get ANDROIDSDK installed, turn the phone on in fastboot mode plugged into the computer and run the folksingers commands from the ANDROIDSDK Tools folder

Thank you for helping me out Don Juan. I cannot thank you enough!
In the meantime I will ask around and see who has an Android I could borrow.
Here is the info you requested:
Code:
version-main: 2.16.151.1
So I have a MyTouch 3g w/ the 3.5mm... I'm no noob but obviously I'm farrr from expert because I've effectively softbricked my phone.
Can't get past splash screen (stuck in a boot loop @ the HTC logo). I can bring up hboot and I have fastboot access.. but that's about it. No ADB drivers, no goldcard, no recovery, nada.
When trying to push anything useful (like a recovery image) through fastboot, I get "failed: remote not allowed."
As for how I got into this mess, it started when I mixed up two SD's and ran an update.zip meant for a different phone. Ouchies Instead of immediately coming for help, I thought I could fix it by just unrooting back to cupcake. Ugh.. I seriously don't know what I was thinking.
Is there any hope left for me?

Thanks so much in advance for any advice. Love this forum btw, long-time lurker & first time poster here
Update: I have recovery. I've tried factory reset, wiping cache, loading several different update.zip files.
When trying to load a recovery image through update.zip I get a verification error. Still can't load a rom.
I can get past the HTC logo now, but only the menu bar loads.. the rest of the UI doesn't, and I get a repeating "The process andriod.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly" error, along with a few other errors.... then it will shut down and go to HTC logo again, and bootloop. I have to factory reset to get past the bootloop again.
How can I load a custom recovery through recovery? I'm guessing that's my only solution right now.
Just flash 2.10.531.4 T-Mobile USA DRD35 RUU. It is official ROM (sure, your data will be deleted)
UPDATE 2: Okay, I think I know what my problem is, but I'm stuck once again.
This phone was originally rooted and running cyanogen. i mixed up two sd cards accidentally flashed a motorola rom when i was trying to reset, which was the big dumb mistake that led to me trying to fix it by unrooting, which may have been an even dumber decision lol... i know i know
i think ive got a radio/spl mismatch going on? and i still cant fix anything with no adb or debugging. and fastboot's not flashing anything... i'm about to take downtown and have someone look at it, but i really don't want to spend the $.. but the work im missing over this is $$ too haha. >_<
