Flashed 32B on 32A HTC Magic

So I have bought a HTC Magic in Singapore about a year ago.
Some of the information about my phone before it got stucked in HTC Magic power-on screen:

I found a site that helped me to get my phone rooted as follow:

Soon after, I started searching for new ROM elsewhere and managed to update my SPL to 1.33.2007 and that's where problem starts to occur..
My phone get stucked on HTC Magic screen display forever.
I was eager to get this problem solved and have not done enough research before I got myself in a worse situation with the phone hbooted like this:

Now I can only enter hboot and fastboot.
Can somebody help me to at least get back to my original ROM? I don't wanna root my phone ever again..
Help please~

If you can get into fastboot you're fine. Just flash 32A radio/spl again and then the desired ROM. Old radio/spl - 1.33.X/3.22.X New radio/spl 1.76.X/6.35.

yeah when turning on the phone hold home and power, if you get the recovery menu then you got nothing to worry about, just flash the proper rom and all will be fine, there is even a stock htc rom with root around here.
right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622038
but you dont have to go back to stock, you just need to put on a rom that fits your phone. i personally suggest this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654284
so good luck post back when you get it figured out

Thank you Reziukas and sike89 for the reply..
I will try the ROM recommended in the links. =)
I cannot get into recovery (-Home- & -Power-) now due to the perfected SPL (1.33.0006).
And whenever I use the goldcard method that flooded over the internet, I always get this "Main version is older!" failure message.
I think I have made the goldcard correctly cause it worked while I was trying to flash my 1.76.0007 SPL to 1.76.2007.
Any idea?

when you hold home and power what does it do?
did you root your phone with the recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img?

I did but after I flashed RADIO-2.22.19.26I with SPL 1.33.0006 I can't get into this recovery mode anymore.
When I press Home and Power, it starts booting but stucked on HTC Magic screen forever..
Easily said it, I can only enter hboot (vol down and power) and fastboot (back and power) now..

Procedure
1.Turn your phone off. Turn it on by holding Back and Power, or Vol. down and Power. Either way, boot into the bootloader.
You should see the three Androids on skateboards, and the menu title should say "Fastboot".
2.Connect your device to the computer. The display on your phone should now say "Fastboot USB".
3.Open up the shell/terminal on your computer, and type
fastboot devices [enter]Your device should be listed with it's serial number, and should say "fastboot".
4.Change directory to where you have saved your recovery image. I.e. type "cd /path/to/recovery.img in windows prompt, press enter.
5.You may issue a "dir" command (Windows) or "ls" (Unix/Linux) to make sure you are at the right directory, or just skip this step.
6.Type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Check your phone's display, as recovery is being sent and flashed to your device.
Check your command prompt/shell to make sure the process is over.
i got all that from Binary100100 who got it from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/RE-recovery-img
give that a shot
also maybe this might help

I seem like I cannot use the fastboot command in 1.33.0006 SPL??
Whenever I type a fastboot command and press enter, I always get an error message.
>> ... FAILED (remote: not allow)
Do we have any windows application that can help to bypass all checking on the phone stats and proceeds with fastboot flash directly?

Perfected spl, you need to make yourself a goldcard

Goldcard doesn't seem to work..
Whenever I try to flash a new radio, it prompted me an error message "Main version is older!"..
What to do?

when it says main version is older it means you need the goldcard.
do you have a working goldcard? if not use this
http://revskills.de/downloads/psas.zip it will make the gold card.

No need for phone?
Hello there.
I was reading this thread and I'm having a similar problem.
I have a question, sike89.
Is it possible to create the goldcard just with the software you mentioned?
My magic 32a will only go into fastboot (stuck at splash screen) and so
I won't be able to use my phone to create the card.
Thanks!

As mentioned by YamatoDelgato, I cannot boot up my phone and thus far I am unable to re-create a goldcard.
But this "goldcard" I am using right now was a working goldcard and I am surprised that it doesn't work all the times..
By the way, I found an alternative on internet saying that you can use other HTC Magic phone to create a goldcard for your phone; Although I am not sure if its gonna work out, just give it a shot..

Sike89, am I right to say that this application does not require any HTC phone in order to create a goldcard?
I can just format my SD card using PC and input the necessary information into the application to create goldcard, is it true?

Problem Solved...with a Sacrifice.
Well I managed to get my phone booting again.
I have a rogers phone so I used their "mandatory"
update (2 sappimgs) to get my phone working again.
However, this resulted in getting the dreaded
SPL 1.76.0010 meaning I can't root it easily.
However, I know that with a working
phone that I now have, I could use it to obtain
a gold card.
Boy that was scary!
I'm so scared to try rooting again but I probably will hehe !
Thanks to xda community and google search!

I lost my original nandroid backup but did manage to install an original ROM on my 32B (Vodafone). Took some work but it worked Afterwards I wrote a tutorial about it (google How to restore your custom ROMed HTC Magic (Vodafone 32B) – a walk through, I can't post links yet).

Bricked?? Flashing Rogers 2.1 RUU over CyanogenMod

A bunch of people with rooted phones are reporting that when they attempted to flash the 2.1 RUU overtop of CM6 they would get a signature error during the update process.
It's looking like the SPL is getting changed to 1.76.0010 and the radio is getting changed to 6.35.16.19 after which the update hangs with the signature error. Either recovery is failing during flash or is not replaced with this RUU but either way recovery is dead. and the RUU won't complete.
My opinion is that Amon-Ra recovery for the Magic is still on there and won't work because it won't work with that SPL/Radio combination. I've had one person report to me that he received the signature error even when attempting to manually flash the Amon-Ra Hero version onto the phone.
Also from a couple of pics that I've seen, it looks like the phone is stuck in RUU USB mode.
So are they bricked or is there a way for them to breathe life back into their phones?

This happened to me... my phone is currently stuck on the RUU screen and shows:

It seems I can also send files with flashboot, but everything comes back as Failed (remote: 12 signature verify fail).
Any suggestions to get out of this? Or am I firmly in the bricked category?
Thanks!

for others that r looking to flash the rogers stock rom.
Would it work if we flash rogers's old 1.5 911 RUU over CM6 first, then flash the new 2.1 RUU?
Obviously the 2nd step will be straight forward, but how about the first step?

do u guys heard sth called goldcard? make one and run the ruu again.

i have the issue, i am trying with a glodcard but i have a problem to get the cid of the sd card. because the phone is briked ! adb is not working
i will keep you inform if i found any solutions
edit :still not working any other idea !!! i cant find the way to get cid of sd card without adb...
finnaly i got the glodcard but the RUU is still not working ! error bad signature !

[Q] Htc Magic 32A Semi-Bricked

I did a mistake and now im asking for advice because i dont want to brick it for good.
This is all i can see on my device after i tried to run the RUU update to 2.1 with sense
If i try to run again the RUU it says ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR

RUU
What can i do to bring him back alive ?
Big thx , Gabi.

First you must flash custom recovery,and then enter it and flash ENG SPL like 1.33.2010, and then you must download eyegor's radio switcher and flash all new and then install new rom

thx for the fast answer
This is my first time , but i still don't know the steps , i am very confused.
I have read about similar situations where goldcard was needed or a RUU solved the problem
If a RUU can solve my problem too it will be great.

Do you have Windows 7 or vista? I think i had same problem i did it on WinXP,which phone do you have Rogers Magic or something else?

I have windows 7 , i found a thread with a similar problem
now i`m trying to do a goldcard but i`m not pretty shure what to do with this after i am done, i just fallow the steps there
I have found 6-7 diferent RUU but only one can actualy see the phone and that is the RUU that actualy did this to my magic , the RUU update stops at the signature ,so with different os i may have a chance?

Here is the thing you can download only 1 RUU from htc site, you must go to country you are from select the right HTC magic i think you are using Rogers magic and then you must enter you S/N there and then you can download it. And install it on winxp. I must ask you something which android do you have 1.5 or 1.6?

I have obtained my htc RUU from my country site but when i try to apply it can't find my device sadly, i think is like you said only works in xp i will try today.
Now i have a goldcard but i dont realy know what to do with him , how can i use it to restore my phone.
Android 2.2 froyo with CyanogenMod 6 was , i was trying to make it to oficial 2.1 with sense

First of all you cant do RUU when you have CM6 it will brick your phone totaly, you must downgrade you phone to original Rogers 1.5 you should batter install some custom made Android made of rogers i created my own,be carefull very carefull.

So in my case is total brick?
How can i downgrade? and witch custom android?

If you want Rogees 2.1 android you just need to change spl (which i can give you,can you enter recovery?and which do you have),second thing is to use eyegor's radio switcher and just press flash new button via fastboot,and the restar to recovery again adn install rogers stock rom with root(which is like original only with root).and i must ask eyegor something so be patient

I can only enter in Fastboot , that is the problem the phone don't allow me to enter in recovery mode.
In my case a goldcard is useful? because i did one following a guide but i don't know how to use it stupid me

I never did goldcard but i know this that you must follow those instructuions if you made a good goldcard you must flash the right eng spl which is 1.33.2010 and if you do that right it will unbrick,and you must then install Custom recovery it is RA's 1.7.0H. When you finish that download eyegore's radio switcher and enter fastboot again and flash new option if do that right then you can boot to recovery and install ROM

And in fastboot you must have same specs like mine

1) The reason you don't get connection to the RUUs is because you are in fastboot mode.
RUU needs adb connection mode
2) You have the wrong spl/radio combo. That's why you cannot boot your device to any system. To fix this you have to change the spl to 1.33.20xx version, where the xx can be 05, 09 or 10.
3) Following the logic from option 2 you have a problem!
The spl you have now is a perfected one, meaning you can't do anything with it. So changing only the spl is not possible (as fare as i know :0)
4) Following the logic from option 3 you have to use a goldcard and flash a sappimg.zip or sappimg.nbh.
Both will try to overwrite ALL data on the nand and restore the device to a state where you again have some control over it.
The solution)
You have to make a goldcard and use a combitable sappimg.zip/nbh.
Try this one:
http://rapidshare.com/files/421772202/SAPPIMG.nbh
Put the file on the root of the goldcard. Reboot into hboot or fastboot... let it work... when done restart and post the result here :0)
PS: Give thx to WoblyGoblin because he convinced me to help you out.

Looks like my card is not good for goldcard , i will try tomorrow again with a different card.
PS: BIG thx to both of you for you`r help!

I'm pretty sure your hosed. Once you run an RUU and it fails your stuck with RUU USB until a RUU is ran properly. Which wont happen in your case.

Why wont work in my case?
I think what mumilover told me can be a solution, i must try.

Any progress yet???

if you have a goldcard, put in your device and flash with RUU rom.
if you didn't have a goldcard, download your original rom from HTC website and flash it
if you have non branded device, choose unbranded rom.
but if you have branded device, choose your branded rom.
i was semi brick (stuck in RUU mode) my device twice, and this solution working well for me

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:

Can't install any rom on ny Magic, please help

Hi.
I have an 32A HTC Magic.
I don't know what got wrong but I have NO working ROM on my device.
I have Amon Ra 1.6.2, SPL-OFF, Can get into recovery, can get into Fastboot mode.
Tried flashing some ROMs (they installed 100% completely) but when I reboot the logo just shows "htc MAGIC" and nothing happens.
Please what should I try to do?
Your help will be very much appreciated.
Best regards and sorry for not so great english.

Okay, the thing is:
I can get into the Fastboot screen, but cant get into Fastboot USB mode. So no way of sending ADB commands from my laptop.
Also, no way to get into HBOOT. Even from the Fastboot screen, pressing VOL DOWN doesn't do anything.
What the heck do I do? (

It can be caused by stucked buttons.
Tear down the phone
Clean parts
Assemble all back
p.s. Please post spl-info (first 5 rows in fastboot screen) to avoid software incompatability

OMG, why? Why you did it? You are successfully half-bricked your magic...

1. Make goldcard
2. try to flash 2.53.707.2 SEA WWE test-signed
http://www.4shared.com/file/160198404/66d482a/RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Asia_WWE_2537.html

Cause Im a bit stupid I guess ...
One thing though, I can't even get my computer to recognize my Magic.
Nothing happens when I plug it to the USB port. Not showing up in Device Manager.
I have tried two mini USB cables, same thing.
Guess Im totally screwed?

It is driver-related issue.
You need explore Windows Device Manager (My computer (right click) / Manage / Device Manager)
There must be Android USB Devices in tree.
You can also install USBDEVIEW
32bit OS: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview.zip
64bit OS: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview-x64.zip
p.s.
1. adb must return serial number when phone in normal state after command "adb devies"
2. fastboot must return serial number only in fastboot-mode after command "fastboot devices"
If you see serial number - no problem with adb/fastboot

Hi, slkdk,
Have you ever tried the "RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Chunghwa"
(in Traditional Chinese/English)
You just need to connect your phone with PC, turn on the phone with back+power, and then execute the "RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Chunghwa" on PC.
I remember that Sapphire_HTC_Chunghwa will help you with all the radio/SPL/ROM directly back to the Android 1.5 stock.
Good luck!

Just note, but not all phones are Taiwanese Chungwa. Installing ROM for another region (mismatching by CID) will raise "cid error" and half-brick.
