[Q] HTC Magic 32B, messed up recovery, then everything else - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Hello,
my magic is in really bad shape after some bad decisions:
After wiping and flashing Yoshi's Gingerbread 7.1 the phone started to reboot itself randomly. It worked perfectly with previous versions of this rom. Reading the forums some people said it had to do with the recovery and how some didn't wipe certain partitions, and recomended to use Clockwork recovery instead. Here's the first bad decision, I was lazy and used the market app to flash it (rom manager?), and since then I couldn't boot into recovery any more.
Now, after wiping every partition I can't use adb, and being unable to flash anything with fastboot ("FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)"), what can I do?
With fastboot boot recovery it freezes in "booting...". I also tried flashing the recovery through terminal emulator, didn't work (throwed lot of hex addresses).

Thanks for your time!

Solved.
Used HTC's RUU. The phone's back to stock conditions. Will be rooting and doing everything else again soon.

Hi,
Would you be able to elaborate on where you download the RUU and how you used it to fix the problem? I've got a similar situation, my phone bootloops, the recovery is inoperable, but I can get into hboot. Thanks!

Hi,
You cand download the RUU from here:
http://www.htc.com/es/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=246&cat=2&dl_id=882
The install process is very simple. You only need to turn on the phone on fastboot mode and execute the .exe (on a Windows machine).
Regards

Do you know if this will be compatible with my phone and its current setup?
Here's my info from hboot

It's a T-Mobile Mytouch 3g.
Thanks!

I'm not sure, I'd say not being this for vodafone. I have no clue how that would affect the mytouch. Maybe there is a RUU for the t-mobile version?

I think my phone is bricked. HELP?

I tried to install a rom, and it is stuck at the green splash screen. I can still boot in HBOOT, but when I try to with my SAPPIMG.NBH, fastboot will not read it. I had to use a different memory card other than SDHC, is this why? If not someone please help.

Originally running 1.5
Sounds familiar. I had the same problem a week ago. Install recovery again through the ADB in fastboot ..
no problem
no deal
ADB only works if it has an operating system to communicate with. Fastboot does not load the OS.
I'm having the same problem, check out my post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614023
if you're lucky, you can use fastboot to load a recovery image. check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492 and scroll to method "via fastboot -> Requires engineerings SPL!".
if your SPL is good you're good, if not the solution is much more complex (goldcard, change spl, ... )
Well I fixed it. I had originally used the wrong rom (for 32A). So I am a complete noob. But somehow eventually HBOOT eventually read my img. I have to be more careful next time.

corrupted recovery + CM6 RC1

Okay so I was browsing around CM6 RC1 today and decided I might try the ClockworkMod Recovery image. I did not know CM has this memory corruption issue at the time. So now my recovery is corrupted. I can boot into the ROM fine, and I believe the solution is to go into fastboot and somehow replace the recovery, SPL or both, but I cannot find an definitive answer online.

UPDATE:
The answer was to flash a SAPPIMG from fastboot (since I had perfected SPL)
I used Amon_RA's excellent guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218
other than creating that shiny goldcard the process was very simple.

sometimes you have to try more than once. for some reason the first time doesn't always take... but it should on the second attempt.

Strange behaviour - Phone reboots when in Boot Screen (Amon_Ra recovery 1.7.0)

Hi,
I've just upgraded to Amon_Ra recovery 1.7.0 and when I go to boot screen the phone simply reboots to its normal state or freezes (less frequent), which is strange. So I can't do anything such as loading a new ROM.
Has this happened to any of you?
My specs are:

EDIT:
Fixed. Just used recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
How did you reload 1.6.2? I used universal androot and fastboot won't let me load a new image.
I just followed this thread and flashed via the fastboot method.
Cheers.
thanks.. damn that won't work for me as I have a perfected SPL (S-on)...... Will have to think of another way
Russ
ah... re-read the options and downloaded the android terminal from market place. Did reloading the 1.6.2 RA recovery that way. Gave lots of out of memory errors but worked!
thanks again.

Help, Reboot loop trying to install CM6 Mytouch3G

I am trying to install Cyanogenmod using the tutorial here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Magic_(32B):_Rooting and the device can never boot.
This is a MyTouch3g 32b that was previously running the original firmware. I was able to downgrade to firmware 1.5 and get Amon_Ra 1.7.0G installed fine.
I downloaded update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip and copied to the SDcard. I rebooted into recovery and wiped everything before installing that zip. Now it boots to the Cyanogenmod logo which spins for a while then freezes and repeats the whole thing again.
How should I proceed?
edit:
While trying to troubleshoot I found another page on the wiki that said I needed the updated radio so I installed 2.22.23.02 from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640535
It didn't change anything.
That is weird. Please post full spl-info (turn phone off, then turn on by pressing back + power)

Confusing a little..
What SPL-info is current now?
i'm having a similar issue. i'm trying to get cm6 on this phone for a friend. i rooted with super1click, flashed recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G and i can get into recovery fine. i made a nand backup, flashed cm6 and it won't boot. stuck at htc slash. i had to nand restore. do i need s-off to flash a rom or flash kernel thru fastboot or something? i have not changed the spl yet for lack of really knowing what i need to do. there is little info about whether i need to mess with that to flash cm6.

I am not Magic 32b's owner, but it seems like CM6 is not compatible with hboot 1.33.0013 / radio 2.22.28.25
Try to check compatible Rom (ex. gingeryoshi or something else). Look at Htc Dream Development forum. There are some actual Roms. Htc Dream and Magic 32b have same hardware level and custom Roms (but NOT official)
I am not advising change spl (hboot/radio combo), cause hboot 1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d are last hboots for Magic 32b and developers make roms compatible with these hboots.
