help me !!!

You have radio/spl mismatch...
You got to fix that before you can proceed.
Follow my instructions:
Download this to begin with while you READ.
http://rapidshare.com/files/45099641...al_sappimg.zip
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ EVERYTHING I WRITE.
The problem is: the device has conflicting spl and radio combo. The spl has an idea of where the radio should be and how big it is ect. When they are not matching the flash of a new radio will most likely fail.
To fix this problem, we need to flash a spl compatible with the 6.35 radio.
Here comes the trick: I have found a special rom, which is part of a 2-part update.
Once the spl is updated and the system restarted, we can now flash any ruu we want using the goldcard.
The steps to follow:
1) Read and understand the above.
2) Rename special_sappimg.zip to sappimg.zip
3) Make sure that you have a working goldcard and flash the sappimg.zip
4) Once the device has rebooted, we need to flash the stock rom and you should almost be there...
Post the progress and we will take it from there.
Hope that you will succeed... :0)

thank you very much, I will try and report back
what is "we need to flash the stock rom and you should almost be there..." ?
Can you give me a rom link fit?
a bit sorry for bad english, I'm a Vietnam

you should probably use this tool next time: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794450

Hi,
I have the same kind of problem.
I have a 32A and I installed the wrong radio/SPL
I have the SPL : 1.33.0013d and the Radio 2.22.27.08.
Can I do this manipulation too ? :

As he states, the tool (which is programmed by me and a newer version is to be found in my signature) is only valid if you have an eng spl or s-off.
The steps i gave is to fix the mismatch which is the primary problem now... all other solutions will be futile until the issue has been dealt with.

My HTC Magic Stuck in RUU Screen after failed ROM upgrade

Applied the latest Rogers ROM...what a bad move...

RUU
I tried many ways to get rid of this screen but didn't work.
My phone original has the rogers 2.17.631.2 build, and I did a bad move to upgrade to Android 1.5.=( The RUU process flashed my HBOOT and RADIO, but as soon as it starts the "system" steps, the screen shows unzipping for over an hour and eventually failed. Now my phone will start up with the above screen only!! i can't get myphone startup in recovery mode or fastboot mode.
I tried re-run the RUU porgram on my PC and the tool still shows i have the old anroid build. Hence i know that i now have NEW HBOOT and RADIO but still the old Android build.
Is there a way for me to get out of this RUU screen? Any help is appreciated.
Is the security off (S-OFF) allows me to downgrade the SPL? If so, how can i do that given i can only boot my HTC Magic in this screen only.
One more side note, fastboot can detect the phone.
Urgently need help! Appreciated.
If you have constant security S-OFF, it accepts all ROMs and HBoot and RUU. Probably you have engineering Magic (not Hboot, the whole device)
1. Try this...
If fastboot can detect phone, so try flash Amon_RA Hero recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(recovery.img or other filename must be in folder with fastboot.exe)
Then start into recovery (Home + Power) and flash CursorSense
If you need original ROM (without root), so search forum for it
(it has been posted already). Just get rom1.zip (system.img, userdata.img and more...) and flash it (Saying again: official doesn't contain root)
2. Or try run another RUU

but the fastboot method requires engineering SPL, but my phone was upgraded to the perfected SPL. Shall I try the RA_Hero or RA_Sapphire ?

Yes, common fastboot required to be engineering. But you have S-OFF now, so no checks.
use RA_Hero, cause you have radio 6.35.X.X

Tried flashing the recovery.img (RA_Hero) but failed.
i typed fastboot flash recovery recovery.img [ renamed the file to recovery.img] but got the error...
sending 'recovery' <3362 KB>... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... FAILED <remote: image type not support>
Just to clarify more, the screen only shows "RUU USB" not "FASTBOOT" although fastboot can see my device... could that be the reason why it failed?
According to your 2nd suggestion, where can i find other RUU and how do i know which is the proper one?

the rogers ROM is not working right. Too many crashes and so on .. so try this one
RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
You can download it from HTC main site ...
Also, you have to keep in mind that you can RUU as many as you want. So do the procedure again and keep us posted if it's working. If not send me a PM and i'll resolve it step by step.
best of luck !
I have one Magic and it show in Bootloader :
PVT 32 S-OFF
1.76.0007 (SAPP*****).
Why the SAPP is SAPP*****? Is there something wrong?
Also, the device detected by fastboot is 1234567890... , not like other HTC Magic.
Now I get stuck with RUU Flash at 81% (Hong Kong RUU). --> When the device start to update system STEP. So the Magic now just show RUU, can connect by Fastboot but when use fastboot flash system or recovery, only can send to phone and write error.
Anybody help me to solve this?

I do have the same problem with my RUU flash with the new Rogers RUU. Stuck at 81% when device starts updating at step[4] "system". Phone will show "unzipping" for over an hour and eventually failed with error code [155].
I tried the RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_ NoDriver.exe but still the same problem. Can anyone help here?
Did more investigation, and seems like both RUU ROMs i tried might not match the CID, hence the system ROM updating failed.
Now the question is, i am stuck in RUU and cannot use adb to check my CID now. How can i manually update the system ROM given i am in RUU mode only?
How can i manually update the HBOOT and RADIO if i am stuck in RUU screen? If the RUU program can automate the process in one click, is there program to allow me to update each individually? Note that i cannot get into fastboot mode.
Any advice? Thanks!

I had a 32B G2,it was brikked at the first time when I ruu flash the rom(Sense official). G2 couldn't received any RUU rom.it would stop at 22%.
Today,when I ruu flash the rom(HTC_Europe_3.04.401.2),I also found it stop at 81%.
SPL is updated to 1.76.0008 from 1.76.0007.
It seems much better than before. But it still could not accept the cmd "adb shell"
Hoping somebody could help us.
I used the following RUU after upgrading to sense RUU stopped at 81%
hxxp://suntharee.com/android/RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Asia_WWE_2.53.707.2_SEA_test_sign ed_NoDriver.exe
Here is another link, its the first RUU in this post:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548096
You will end up with an ENG SPL that allows you to flash what ever you want then.
I manually updated Radio and SPL and now using CursorSense ROM.
Obviously replace the "hxxp" with "http". Hope it helps at least some of you like it did for me.

I tried but already got stuck in the first step of unzipping system.img. Looks like this RUU will upgrade system first before HBOOT and RADIO, hence i am still stuck with Perfected SPL.
Given that my phone has security off (SOFF), is there way to downgrade my HBOOT?
I had the same problem when HK SenseUI appeared and I managed to pass the RUU screen with a gold-card. You will find tutorials in this forum.
Good luck!

Were you upgraded to the latest perfected SPL when the same problem happens? I had my goldcard configured properly, but everytime i run RUU, the process hang at 81%, which is the time when unzipping system.img happens.
I understanding the latest SPL is still yet hard to crack, but will my phone being S=OFF, can have some ways to get the system check bypassed?
Thanks!
Hi. I have the some problem. My magic stops at 81% (system - unzipping), or when i try with another RUU_.exe stops at 22% (system - unzipping).

At that point you'll have a new SPL but no rom's gona work. (It'll show up as a 32B, H etc thus why no rom will work)

The reason you go down to a 2010 Engineering SPL in the first place is because the 1.33.0013 is perfected and you can't flash anything, so least this way you go down to 2010, flash the needed radio/hboot/recovery allowing it to be rooted, then you flash the stock (rooted) rom.

If he already made the gold card, that's good, but may still need to flash the engineering SPL (2010) because I think 2007 is also perfected. I would still just flash the engineering SPL since I Know that works, and at this point we're trying to avoid any chance of bricking.
edit : wasn't 100% sure of what I was saying ;-)
Thats every one for helping I really appreciate it.
I tried flashing the Engineering SPL (2010) but i left it as (Sappimg.zip) and when i flash it through Hboot it asks me if i want to start the update after i press the trackball it says System-unzipping and thats where it stays. it doesnt load. and i tried to flash a couple of of other spls before but it stop after it tried to update the Radio. For some reason i cant update the radio it always freezes when the update is about 95% complete.
Any Answerss ???? Please =\

K, Let's try this, at the point you are now:
Using the zip file from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623141
and the 1.6.2G Recovery from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
From your computer:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot_7201A_1.33.0013G_091021.nbo
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you get a Remote Denied after trying the first command, then your current SPL is perfected. However if it works, continue to flash the hboot and recovery.
PS: I have no clue why it freezes during the SPL flashing, "ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010)" should have flashed just fine on the MT3G LE.

Are you sure it is freezing i have read that flashing a radio can take i think up to 5 or 10 minutes and to just be patient.

I had the problem where no matter how many times I tried the root procedure, it would eventually freeze on the "ANDROID" splash screen and then go to a black screen, nothing else.
I have no idea if this is the correct thing to do, but I eventually went in to recovery and did a Wipe data/factory reset. Then I did the root procedure again and it finally allowed it to boot all the way. Maybe someone who understands better can comment if this was right. Anyway, it worked for me when I basically had no other choice (or so I thought).
From the little bit of knowledge I have so far you did it correctly. If it gets stuck on the load screen or if the screen turns black you usually have to reboot into recovery then do everything you did. If you're flashing a THEMED rom and this happens that means you didn't flash the original rom first. Binary does this with his themes since making roms for mt3g 1.2 is apparently retarded difficult. And just to break it down a little more, he made a themed rom from stokes eclair rom. So I had to flash that rom and then flash his rom since its not a full rom, only a theme. Hope that helped

Make a gold card from this info : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622530
Grab the Engineering SPL (2010) from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4332591&postcount=1
Put the Engineering SPL onto the new Gold card, in Fastboot go into Hboot mode and flash that
At that point you'll have a new SPL but no rom's gona work. (It'll show up as a 32B, H etc thus why no rom will work)
Then go here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623141
get the zip file with the radio.img/hboot for the fender.
(Download the Recovery 1.6.2G from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492 instead of the one in the link above)
The instructions from the link above
Grab the MT3GFender32A-Stock-1.0-signed.zip from the link above
Go into recovery and flash that rom.
You'll then have a rooted stock rom. Which is how I rooted my fender. DO NOT use a radio from any other thread than the one I specified, otherwise you have a very strong chance of actually bricking your phone.
The reason you go down to a 2010 Engineering SPL in the first place is because the 1.33.0013 is perfected and you can't flash anything, so least this way you go down to 2010, flash the needed radio/hboot/recovery allowing it to be rooted, then you flash the stock (rooted) rom.

Confusion of 32A or 32B while rooting HTC Magic

Dear users,
I wanted to root HTC Magic with the following helpful tutorial.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how-to-root-the-htc-magic-in-one-click/
However, I faced a problem about the motherboard version. When I check the motherboard version as tutorial suggested, I saw that it is 32B. However, Recovery Flasher app claims that it is EBI1/32A and it does not allow to flash the recovery image of 32B.
On the other hand, when I checked /proc/meminfo file, it says that
MemTotal: 99708 kB
MemFree: 12068 kB
which is 32B as suggested by Amon_Ra
So, I am confused. Could you please tell me which recovery image should I use? A small background information, I bricked the phone before with rooting procedure by the same reason and gave it back and got it refurbished. So, I am not sure but the motherboard information recorded somewhere else may mislead the Recovery Flasher application.
Thank you,
Omer
Which version of the recovery you should use is dictated by the version of your radio, not motherboard.
2.xx.xx.xx - G version
3.22.xx.xx - H version
hope it helps!
Thank you for the reply. I checked the radio version and it was 3.22.xx.xx. So, I tried the HTC version. However; The recovery manager didn't let me flash with this image. I think, I have the same situation as this post has
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=680793
But, I didn't yet root my device.
Thank you,
Omer
What exactly spl do you have?
Turn off, then turn on by pressing Back + Power, post first 5 strings.
If you have 1.33.2010 S-OFF you can revert back to radio 2.22.XX.XX
This is the 5 lines.

Thank you for your help.
Since you have s-off already, just download 1.33.2005 SPL and do
fastboot flash hboot 1.33.2005
and
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Wrong forum by the way dude
But before flashing SPL, shouldn't I flash radio? Sorry to ask newbie questions but I am really lost and I don't want to brick the device.
By the way, My device is HTC Sapphire aka HTC Magic. That's why; I wrote in here. Is it wrong?
Thanks.

You have 2 methods to restore 32B radio and hboot and get ability to flash 32B-roms
Method 1.
As you wrote - you have S-OFF, so fastboot commands are allowed
You can simply run
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader
where:
radio.img - radio 2.22.19.26I

Unpack it from archive
recovery.img - Amon_RA Sapphire recovery 1.6.2 G version
Important: flash radio then hboot. Don't reboot after flashing only radio.
Method 2. You can use rom.nbh from official update for 32B Magics:
create goldcard
unpack rom.nbh and rename to sappimg.nbh, copy it to goldcard
flash in hboot-mode (VolumeDown + Power)
You will get 1.33.0007 perfected SPL, so you must root device next
But one thing... you have S-OFF - may be you have engineering device - so you can use fastboot commans always - it makes flash-process very easy)
5 thank you for the instructions. This is what i was looking for. If any other experienced user confirms it might work, i would like to take the risks and do the instructions then share the results.
Experienced users, what do you think?

Mmm. It's hard. All ROMs for MT3G 1.2 marked [mt3g 1.2] or something special
You must not use [32A]-marked ROMs

S-OFF - it is hboot without security. It means, that everyone can use fastboot commands without any warnings.
Magics have S-OFF, if it developer or engineering device OR if hboot patched by someone
There are some patched (engineering) hboots for Magics, but not for [MT3G 1.2]
In manual to root patched hboot is using, but if you stay with it - touchscreen does not work. Don't know why.
Thanks 5. I believe I'm good now, just have to be patient and await the arrival of new ROMS for my MT3G 1.2
Appreciate all your assistance in helping understand better about my phone.

[FIXED] Please Help, Urgent!

Ok Guys, I know there are probably millions of threads already started about this, but I really dont know how to put it.
Not long ago I flashed the official 2.2 ROM, and tried to flash DSP manager over it. It didnt work. I couldnt boot into the rom, I had a weird SPL and radio and stock recovery. I made a goldcard, downloaded a SAPPHIMG.nbh file from god knows where, and started again. I have a horrible feeling it might of been the rogers 32A rom.
BUT, I am now stuck on 1.5, Rooted with Super One Click and I cant boot into recovery at all. I cant flash recovery through Clockworkmod, or FlashRec. It flashes it, I just can't boot into the recovery at all! I can't even do it through fastboot, because of my perfected stock SPL. A goldcard doesn't help either, I just keep getting errors. Is it possible to corrupt your recovery partition?
RADIO: 3.22.20.17
CPLD: 10
HBOOT: 1.33.0009
I feel like I'm in a really horrible situation here, but I'm glad its not fully bricked. What Solutions are there to this problem?
Thank you so much guys! I really appreciate your help, in advance
EDIT: I can use fastboot, But I still cant boot recovery, even after flashing it from there. Can I just flash a rom through Fastboot?
Well... you have to flash the right recovery...
Follow my root guide( check my signature).
Just jump the androot part of it (you already have root you say).
Flash both the recovery and eng spl.
Once the recovery and spl is all good (and you have s-off in fastboot) you should flash the right radio. I belive it's 2.22.19.26I.
Then reboot and check your fastboot info.
You should have something like this:
Sapphire pvt 32B eng s-off
Hboot 1.33.2010
CPLD: 10
Radio 2.22.19.26I
Now, flash any 32B rom and you should be good to go!
Good luck.

That would be good, If I didnt just wipe the system via fastboot thinking I could just flash another rom..

Well that's because you have a perfected spl...It will not allow you to flash anything from fastboot.
You have to get access to the system again. Just flash a completable RUU for your device.
When you get your system back again, then use my guide to root and get custom recovery(check my signature).

Ok, Tried flashing an RUU, would't let me, because the phone had to be switched on and booted into android to do so. I have tried the goldcard more than 8 times, either to get a "main version is older" or "invalid CID" message. What else can I do? Have I effectively bricked my phone?
NO.. you have not bricked you phone.. when you do brick it, believe me, you will know!
You have a faulty goldcard... redo it... you should not get invalid CID!
Main version older, maybe... but not invalid CID... that's is the point with goldcard... to avoid CID checks :0)
Type this in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main

Well... the problem is that you used a 32A sappimg.zip to update your device with.
The newest RUU for the 32B device is 1.91.177.1....
So you in a not so good a situation. You cannot use the goldcard to update back in main-version (the good old main-version-older error).
I have no idea how you can get your self out of this.. i will wait until a new RUU for the 32B device is available... is should be that long... there is the 2.2 update... no still no RUU!!!
If you have any way to boot into custom recovery or the similar we can fix it... not before.

You mismatching radio/spl version.
Download my fastboot commander from my signature, MAGIC version.
1)Flash the spl found inside the folder "MagicFiles" tagged "NewSPL". Flash ONLY the spl.
2)Restart into fastboot again (use "Misc" tab).
3)Using the "Magic 32A" tab, click "Flash new" and wait.
4)Restart into fastboot and verify that you have 1.76.xxxx spl and 6.35.xxxx radio.
If all goes well, restart into recovery and enjoy :0)
