Really need some help, stuck at RUU USB screen. - myTouch 3G, Magic General

UPDATED!!!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I now have HBOOT!!! yay I missed those skateboarding androids
I want to be very careful from here on, so with hboot working is there anything I can do to get my phone back?
how I got hboot back:
I took the rom file out of a Australian RUU
replaced the radio with the one I currently have 3.22.20.17
replaced the hboot with a compatible one ( or so I thought )
and ran the mod'd RUU, which allowed it to get past the radio installation and instal new hboot
I am of course still semi bricked as I get a boot-loop ( sits at HTC magic screen for a few minutes than reboots )
and I still dont have access to recovery
I am still unrooted
and I still have a mismatched hboot/radio ( lol I ment to flash 1.33.0010H but I ended up flashing 1.76.0010H ) DOH!
so here I am with:

So I think I may have bricked my magic
from everything I've read, I cant seem to find a working fix for my problem.
I was originally on CM6 and decided I wanted a sense rom so I installed sfm 1.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025330
after running it for a bit I realized I couldn't get data access and found out I didn't upgrade my radio to 6.35.16.19
I also discovered for some reason I lost root.
I did something stupid without researching I went to the tutorial I used to originally root my phone.
http://greatbigdog01.wordpress.com/2010/07/12/new-shorter-rogers-magicmagic-rooting-guide/
at step 4 while installing the RUU it got stuck installing the radio and sat at 36% so like an idiot I pulled the battery.
now I am at a RUU USB screen
there is a picture of a microchip with a red x through it at the bottom
I have no recovery
I can run fastboot
I can only run adb shell after using "fastboot oem boot" which loads SFM 1.0
Every RUU Ive tried stalls installing the radio
everything I've tried to get root back fails
everything Ive tried to get recovery fails
any help on this would be immensely appreciated
Thanks

This may just totally frag my phone but I was wondering if this might work.
I've read a few posts of people fixing there 32b that was flashed using a 32a rom by flashing another 32a rom ( usually the Arabic one for some reason ) which gets them up and running to switch back over to 32b
would flashing a 32b rom just be a very very bad idea?
also I have access to another magic, could I use that in anyway to get me going.
just spit-balling ideas, dont really know enough to proceed without some advice.

Wow!! If Ive stumped the genius's here, I must really be screwed...

I tried a séance, and a little bit of black magik, in hopes of bring my phone back to life, unfortunately it didn't work.
any other idea's?

I'm pretty sure I can correct your issue with JTAG. PM me if you are interested in this as well as any others that see this.

Some new progress, read original post for update.
I tried something totally crazy without knowing what it would do, but it got me hboot back....lol
Just need to know where to go from here!
Thanks

Flashed 32A Radio by mistake!! 32B/Vodafone Magic

Hi everyone,
I'll try not to waffle on too much, i have a vodafone branded magic that i have rooted and flashed multiple roms on till recently when i found this guide on how to turn it into a hybrid 32A/B so Bluetooth would work on the Hero Roms
http://alldroid.org/viewtopic.php?f=130&t=423
Which didnt actually work in the end as it only allowed the Bluetooth to connect for calls and not music but this is besides the point i guess.
After doing this i tried to update to the latest radio but used a 32A thinking it would work (dumbass i know), after doing this i can now only boot into the fast/H/boot screen and i cant flash a new radio as i get FAILED (status read failed (too many links)
I cant boot into recovery even after flashing RA's recovery again which appears to work and i get stuck at the splashscreen whenever i switch on the phone normally which i kind of expected at this point with it being half bricked (not literally just figuratively)
Im lost guys and i'd really like to get my phone working again
Here's what i have when i load the boot screen

I have a couple of spare micro SD's and a reader, i have the latest SDK and the relentless rooter and i've been tearing my hair out scanning the forums for an answer, am i missing something insanely obvious????
Any help would be great guys and please be gentle as im only an amateur here

[SOLVED] for sure bricked?

I was looking for sense roms for my mytouch 3g 1.2 and found one that required the radio to be updated to 6.35 ( i double and triple checked to make sure the steps and procedures were specifically for the mytouch with the 32a board ) but after I followed the directions, my phone became unresponsive. It stayed at the HTC Magic screen for about an hour before I turned my phone off and back on again to undo what I had done ( using previous experience from a screw-up I did several months back...basically using the goldcard method to re-root my phone as if it were "new" again ). My problem is, now it's more unresponsive than it was before. it pauses at system - unzipping every time i try to use hboot to load the sappimg.zip. right now my current stats are:

and loads up a red vodafone bootscreen. i honestly think my problem was accidentally pressing the wrong link on Amon_RA's thread about perfected SPL, and i didn't realize it until it was too late... I cannot flash anything thru fastboot, hboot basically stops at system - unzipping when trying to run the sappimg.zip, and "fastboot boot recovery.img" loads the red vodafone screen, but doesn't flash boot the recovery so i can try and fix it with recovery...
all i need to know is if it's entirely bricked, or if i can still save it, and if so, a little nudge in the right direction would be much appreciated...i have been searching google, xda-developers, cyanogenmod, androidforums, etc. for the past 3 days and cannot, for the life of me, find out how to fix the issue...
EDIT: as always, when i ask for help, i end up fixing it somehow...

[Q] PROB stuck plz help

well im a noob to the mytouch3g but i own a slide....the prom im haveing is a friend game me his 3g cuz it was stuck at mytouch splash and well i cant get it past that
specs are
sapphire pvt 32a ship son g
hboot-1.33.0013
cpld-13
radio-6.35.10.18
so can any1 help....i can get to fastboot and hboot just not past that
He hosed the radio. The 6.35.10.18 radio is for actual 32A devices. Read through this post and the light will come on. You may be able to get the radio changed back by following the instructions in this post.
well i have tryed that sapp b4 just get to Radio V2 and sits there updating for last time i try till it went dead...i can get to fastboot hboot but not recovery
well tryed again lastnite and well sat at updateing Radio_V2 at like 90 percent for 3 hours......WHAT AM I TO DO?
Can you still get into recovery? With the phone off, turn it on holding home+power.
that takes me to the splash screen tryed.. im gonna try now that i have sd drive to use the gold card
well that didnt work hung up at thr radio_v2
Well if you can borrow a friends phone to make a goldcard, then just follow the old school guide in my sig. Hopefully it wont fail writing the radio which is what I'm thinking will happen.

i made the gold crad from my slide and well same thing gets stuck at thr RADIO_V2....then i pulled the bat and now have soff and tryed flashing radio through fastboot and the same thing get 90percent dont and hangs there
What radio did you try flashing? Either way, your going to have to flash a proper Engineering SPL that'll work with that radio, then flash the new radio, then the correct SPL. What are you showing in fastboot now?
sapphire unknowen 32a eng s0ff h
hoot 1.33.2010
cpld-13
radio-6.35.10.18
Alright, that one should be good. Where did you get the radio image your trying to flash and which radio is it?
ok so now this is what i have now
sapphire pvt 32a eng s0ff h
hboot 1.76.2007
cpld-13
radio-2.22.23.02
if thats right only prob i have now is i cant get into recovery...hold home power takes me to splash screen.....so how far off am i?
You need to get the stock SPL back on there. Flash recovery from fastboot, then flash the correct SPL, and then reboot. BE CAREFUL, if you flash the wrong SPL you may brick your phone. Give me about an hour and I'll link the correct files.

THANK YOU......i now have it back to stock had to get the right radio then i used ruu so we are back to stock.....now to root it which why do u recommend......the old or new way?
Download this, put it on the root of your SD card. With the phone booted, download/install "Appinstaller" from the market. Use it to install Universal Androot, then run the app, which will root your phone. Once Universal Androot root's your phone, start at Step #6 from this guide.

Fastboot FAILED... (remote: not allowed) problem!!

Hello everyone!
I need help with my phone ASAP. I recently tried to get Ginger Yoshi 1.5 on my phone but I needed to change my Spl and radio to 1.33.2010 and 3.22.20.17. I managed to change them both but that's when everything started going bad. When I changed them my phone went from 32A to 32B, at that moment I thought something had went wrong so I flashed back my Spl to what I think it was the stock Spl 1.33.0013. After that it went back to 32A but the radio remained 3.22.20.17. I havent changed it back or anything because now my phone is kinda bricked. I only have access to fastboot\hboot screen, but when I try to flash something it wont let me saying "FAILED (remote: not allowed)". If I try to update Hboot mode it says "Model ID incorrect! Update Fail!".
I have been searching for a solution but I haven't seen anybody else with my spl and radio combination. I'm starting to give up hope on my phone . I don't know what to do anymore. I need some help.
Yes, I'm a newbie at this. I think this is my third time changing a ROM.
Thanks in advanced for any help and/or advice!

Hi there! If by that you mean if I can actually boot a ROM then I can't, it stays in the HTC Magic screen. Or if you mean if I can get adb connection with cmd I can't also because it does not recognizes my phone. All I get access to is fastboot and hboot, though it doesn't work either.. I try to flash a new radio, spl or recovery image but it does not works. Maybe I need a new goldcard? Since it says model ID incorrect.
Thanks for your help!
Your phone is MyTouch 3G v1.2 with audiojack 3.5" and it is NOT common 32A. Don't use manuals for Magic 32A.
You flashed wrong combo and it is main problem. May be this manual will help, but i have no guarantee
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/
p.s. Megaupload links are dead cause US District Court shutdowned this site)
http://www.4shared.com/zip/hW3I1tfT/MyTouch35RootingFiles.html
http://www.4shared.com/zip/ALht1xbT/unlockr_Sappimg_mt3gv12.html
p.p.s. And you need goldcard. Must have goldcard to flash special sappimg.zip
Tech reasons of solution:
- you have perfected HBoot and can't flash anything by 'fastboot flash' command
- you have wrong radio (combo, cause hboot and radio must be together)
- if you will flash special sappimg.zip you will have 1.33.2010 s-off eng hboot. With this hboot you can flash your stock combo back (and don't forget about custom recovery for mt3g v1.2)
Yes my phone is the Fender LE. I found out that even though they say 32A they're actually 32B as well. What a way to get confused. And as you said, some links are broken because of megaupload no longer existing . I couldn't find the files that I needed. My phone is now fixed running Cyanogenmod 6.1.0 (I gave up trying to flash ginger yoshi, I don't lke the idea of having to change spl and radio).
After I found out what I had to do to fix it I thought that it wasn't so big of a deal, just flash a sappimg file with a diferent Spl and that is it, S-off and an Eng spl.
Though when it said "Model ID incorrect" I had no idea why that happened. I had to open the Hex editor again an re-edit my Sd card's code with the goldcard I had created before. After that everything went back to normal, I flashed CM6 and now my phone is up and running like a charm!
I've seen some other users with the same problem I had, maybe if someine would explain them what they need to do to fix it would be a good idea.
Thanks for explaining! And for the links.
This is what I now have:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-2.22.xx.xx (I forgot the last 4 numbers )
Running CM6.1.0
Now can not download the Stock rom with root for MT3G 32A 1.2 because all the link are dead. Could you please give a helping hand?
Thank
See if you find the rom in this link.

[Q] [HELP] Stuck in RUU screen but did almost everything

Lets get started with: I've tried everything on this forum, before I post this, I've read about 200 threads on this forum (no kidding). Lets get straight to the point. What I have on my screen is:

NOTHING ELSE, no recovery, NOTHING just the RUU and (when its connected) RUU USB.
What I know: My stock ROM uses radio 6.35, my device has 3.22. I have S-ON so I can't change my radio. I've tried (with goldcard) to use others RUU (my stock rom doesn't use RUU to upgrade just .zip) but always stop on bootloader version. If I "flash zip" with fastboot, get stuck on [RUU] WP radio, 97 or something like that.
After two days, I've learned that only need to change my main version to after that, use RUU that has a newer version to upgrade. But I can't do this only using fastboot, or can't I? Sorry for my bad english, but I've tried almost everything on every forum that I've found.
