MT3G Fender w/ wrong bootloader!! No skateboarding androids!! PLZ HELP!!!!

Let me explain to you the whole story. I obviously know im going to get flamed for this one. I will give you the short short version
I had a rooted MT3G fender with this Rom installed
http:/forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669911
It worked all good until i started messing with stuff. I wanted this rom installed
http:/forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=673394
Since it said 32a and MT3G fender is 32a i assumed that it will install and no problems. So i used the gold card to change radio and spl to the 3.22 series. only to find out that they dont work for my phone. based on this post
"You are now screwed with a downgraded SPL and radio that do not work on this phone YAAAAAAY." -crypysmoker-
[THUNK AND FIXED] Rooting Mytouch Fender LE 32a/ Mytouch 1.2 DONT!!
http:/forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622530
So now im thinking great i didnt catch that so let me just move back to where i was before. using the last section of that previous thread to install the stock radio and spl. i have done this already and know it works. so i install the stock radio and spl and the custom recovery. Boot up into recovery and restore nandroid. everything is going ok utill.....it locks up in a boot loop. i then boot back up into recovery and erase data. after that i tryed another nandroid restore and to my wonderful surprise i now lost the ability to mount the sdcard. i restarted and tryed many different cards and all failed. I then boot up into hboot restore with the goldcard and it then locks up at system.
Great now im looking for something to fix this whole mess. after that i try to reinstall the original spl and radio. I then have an error "signature verify failed." Now im thinking WTF!!!!!
I then find a thread about the RUU and how to turn off "S-on" if i install this official HTC app. However come to find out its the asia version. WONDERFUL FOR ME!!! I then found the Official T-mobile MT3G RUU, installed it and now i have a fastboot installed with a memchip with a red circle around it, not the 3 skate droids, and cant boot into HBOOT ,with the volume down button. All that i see is "RUU USB." I have adb but now get the error "remote not allowed." it used to be "signature verify failed." i have no recovery, no HBOOT, just fast boot with RUU USB.
How to i fix this mess up and get back to this?

This is definitely a snowball effect right here.
Oh also i cant go and exchange the MT3g fender because im past my 14 days and i already did it on the first day. LOL

I actually am stuck on the same screen with the same phone. I hope someone has been able to get this fixed

Damn, not trying to be mean, but you screwed up a lot.
I have the same version device as you, and I upgraded my radio/SPL. and did a lot of stuff, i semi-bricked it, but i got it working again. I suggest you re-root your whole entire phone. including flashing all the radios, spl,recovery, and etc.
Try following this theunlockr[DOT]com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/

The problem is that the phone is stuck in a bit of an interesting state. You can't flash from an RUU at this point because the engineering SPL used to root the phone is version 2.53.x, while the RUU's ROM is 2.10.x. You also cannot flash any images to the phone because the SPL is locked (S-ON). So the only way to fix the phone at this point would be to somehow get an HTC-signed 2.53+ ROM for the SAPP31000 (mytouch 3g 1.2/fender) or find a way to unlock the SPL. I had a nice chat with some of the Modaco guys and we went through a lot of options with none of them working. The phone's basically in a bit of a chicken vs. egg state. So personally, I will be building a serial cable to manually unlock the SPL so that I can flash images back on manually.
So, while I wish it was as easy as just re-flashing the phone, you can't do that with a locked SPL and no HBOOT mode available. Onward to a serial/TTL cable advendure!
Once I get the parts in to build it, I'll follow up here with my results

[Q] I want to put another rom and i dont know how

I have a HTC desire hd I want want to change rom to android revolution hd, I followed all the possible tutorials here, and I got all done until the recovery mode. I installed Rom Manager and the ClockWork Mod, but I cant get into recovery mode, i get the phone and the ! sign all the time, i reinstalled clockwork mod and reinstalled the rom manager, and nothing, all the time this problem.
I got permanroot with visionary, and it works.
Please help.
Thanks

Do you have S-OFF?
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

i tried to do it, but i find some many guides about that, and i read that this can brick my dhd, so I didnt do it.
is it necessary?

Yep, you need it. Use my radio S-OFF tool, it is easy as pie. Nobody has bricked a DHD using my tool yet, the possibility of bricking is basically zero. You can find a link in my signature.

and how do i check that i have s-off??

i have done this s-off, but my phone is on the initial booting logo, htc and after the vodafone animation, and it is going over and over again.

thanks people for help. i had this that press vol - and power and you get into advance settings, then factory reset, then again root, and now is working.
thanks
solved

check my guide. regarding the ! sign, did you use "Flash clockworkmod recovery" BEFORE tapping on "reboot into recovery"?

I had that problem too but then I did s-off and clockworkmod worked. Now I need radio s-off , and I need help with choosing right radio to flash.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

You need to have the radio which comes with the 1.32 you have installed.
Then use the Easy Radio tool v2.2 to make the Radio S-Off
Then you can flash the radio you need (the recommended one for the rom you are going to install) using fastboot (some tutorials there).

Hy, need some help please!
I rooted my phone, and do the s-off, and install custom rom. but what is eng s-off?
when I go to boot i have " ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF"
Do I have to make eng s-off or what or can I use my phone like that?
tnx

I'm sure if you have a little look on the forums you'll get the answer you're looking for...

ENG S-OFF is not essential, unless you want to flash a new radio although it is recommended to have it. Look in the Dev section, there is a very good tool to use.

[Q] HTC Magic UK Vodafone Unlocked/Rooted 2.2.1

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

Little help - HTC Magic 32A Rogers

Hello,
I am kind of new to this whole modding thing so I am googling stuff and searching a whole bunch of stuff but it is just leading me in circles.
Allow me to first of all explain my phone. It has the 2.1-update1 from Rogers on it.
Details
SAP PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.0010 (SAPP50000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.16.19
And I want to put Yoshi Froyo (or any good android 2.2).
So I looked at a bunch of articles and started following one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756918) and I got my phone rooted (with superuser permissions and all that jazz).
Okay cool, so now I need a recovery image. I installed the one listed (Recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img) and then I restarted my phone and went into recovery just to make sure it worked, and it did.
Okay so now I went to the thread and read it all and found some instructions
"-Make sure you have the .27.08 or .28.25 radio and .0013(d) spl... if not see extras...
-Superwipe twice
-Recovery wipe the list twice
-install ROM
-Enjoy ^__^"
So now I know I don't have a .27.08 radio and I don't know what spl I have, but I assume I don't have that one either. So I go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909900 as it said and read it, but here is where I become confused.
Do I need to downgrade to 1.5 or 1.6? Or can I do it from 2.1? I tried following (http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/) and the SAPPIMG.nbh came up invalid, so then I tried another one and it also came up invalid.
So here is my question, do I need to downgrade in order to install a custom rom? I've read a bunch of conflicting material and I don't have any desire to brick my phone. Some say I do some say I don't.
Any help? thanks!

Well first of all you have a diff radio then most of us cause of rodgers. And the 2708 is a dream radio not magic same with the spl you mentioned. As long as you have root you can custom rom.
And I would recommend cm6.1 stable I find it more stable then yoshi's right now I like yoshi's but I think it still has a little way to go.

I know it's a magic cause it does not have a keyboard. I bought it with cupcake on it and then I got the Rogers Sense UI Rom update to android 2.1-update1 and then I got the 911 fix.
Edit: I got HBOOT-1.76.2007 with S-OFF on my phone by following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756918
Now I am trying to get the 3.22 rom on it and when I load up fastboot usb it shows the device in my device manager "Android Bootloader Interface" but it won't show up in fastboot.

nvm I had everything I needed already, I simply put on CM6 and it worked.

HTC Drivers, recovery problems

Hi
I am trying to get my friends recently purchased Magic firing on all 4 cylinders.
The handset is 32b, rooted, has recovery and the rom is android 1.6.
Main problems are:
1. When i try to install a different rom I get an error message "E/can't open/update.zip. I have tried a couple of roms but get the same error and I have named them "update" not "update.zip.zip"!
2. I cant get the phone recognised on 3 diffrent PC's, each time I just get USB devoce not recognised. ive looked in Device Mnager and it doesnt even show up there.
Can anyone help with these problems and can anyone recommend and link a good rom.
many thanks
Dave

Check this link out Dave. Then decide if you want a quick fix.....or more grief.

If you decide that methods too risky, post your fastboot info so others can advise.

OK, update.
Although the phone is S-off I dont think it is rooted. If I go into terminal it is showing that the phone is not rooted. Also when I try to install RomManager it tells me that the phone isn't rooted.
This is where the problems really start. As I can't get my PC to recognise the phone I am now stuck!

The link I gave above is for someone who can't access their pc due to a fault on their phone(or they are lazy like me), so a pc isn't required for what you need to do.
I noticed the download links may be missing so for starters heres another link to sort out the root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833954
or google search universal androot, which I can confirm works on froyo 2.2 - I've just unrooted and then rooted my 32b to test it.
