Hope someone here can help. I have the HTC MAGIC 32A hboot 1.76.0010, cpld-12, radio-6.35.16.19 and tried flashing the ROM with ROM MANAGER, and everything was going good, phone rebooted, status bar was moving, then it stopped, now I can only get to the ROGERS screen. I am able to get into fast boot, but nothing else, I tried the factory reset, and still nothing. ABD wont recognize the phone, but the computer recognizes android 1.0 but I dont think I have it set up right, as I have aworking MAGIC, and I cant get the abd to recognize that phone either. Can someone point me to a walk through on restoring this phone, or give me some pointers? I dont recall the actual ROM I tried flashing but will try and get that if needed as well phone goes into clockwork recovery but only for a few moments .
Run this in fastboot mode
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
fastboot getvar cid

Heloo, while y was trying to update my perfect spl, i meka a mistake and put inside spl for 32A instead o B
now, when I press power on button, it makes a little vibration and after that HTC MAGIC appears on the screen and nothin happens.
I have try to make fast boot commands, when starting with back and power, but computer foesn't recognize it.
Any suggestions??
the problem is the first splash is changed and is not vodafone's one, and I cannot access to it
What spl did you get? If you got it from Amon_Ra, his spl's work for both 32A and 32B. Are you sure you didn't flash a 32B radio?
What commands did you use?
recovery-RA-magic-v1.3.2H.img I use this one and it works, but on the next step, when i was trying to put
update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2010-signed
using the recovery, it ask me for press 2 keys for rebooting. I read that in a wrong way and I press menu and use the menu for reboot the magic. After that it hangs on the first screen and I cannot use the fastboot commands, trying to boot with back+power.
I read it can be done if the first splash freezes but it is not my case.
Thanks a lot for your reply
Hmm, try installing HTC sync with the drivers again.
And download a recovery rom 1.4 with nandroid backup and download that into your fastboot.
No way to do a fastboot or recovery so I think that we can't download into our fastboot...
I have same problem and reading in the forum I think that we have Total bricked phone.
I have tried this solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=571457 but the cmd still "waiting for device" so i can't acces to my magic with my pc...
I hope that i am wrong
yes, I have try what people says on that post and waiting...
is not possible to make anything to allow the computer to recognize the device??
I have a friend who got a MyTouch 3G off of craigslist. It works great, but he saw what I did with my G1 and wanted to root it and all of that business. Well as simple as everyone seems to make it, I still had issues getting it rooted, but I think I got it done. I noticed it already had the Engineering SPL already loaded on it when he got it. I managed to get Amon_RA's 1.2.3 Recovery on it and flash CM4.2.7.1.
Here is the problem, His phone isn't recognized by ADB. I can boot into fastboot and it will recognize the phone, but I tried to update it to Amon_RA's 1.5 recovery through fastboot and it said "NOT ALLOWED". I know I have ADB and Fastboot setup properly because it works fine for my G1. What could be the issue keeping his phone from working.
Thanks in advance.

what spl does it exactly have?
Does adb work on your phone from that same pc?
Do you have all your drivers correctly installed?
He has:
The Engineering SPL 1.33.0006
PVT32B board
Radio 2.22.19.26I
When I plug in the phone it doesn't ask for new drivers and I even tried to update them manually with the newest SDK.
My phone works fine from the same computer. Fastboot recognizes both of our phones, ADB only recognizes my phone. When I try to flash a new recovery on his phone via fastboot, it says not allowed.
My phone is:
Engineering SPL 1.33.2005
PVT 32B
CPLD-4
Radio 2.2219.26I

I tried that. Re-installing and updating ADB didn't work. Everything that works for my G1 doesn't seem to work for my friends MT3G. I also have a friend who has a stock Hero from sprint and his phone isn't recognized by ADB either.
Fastboot will recognize his device, but it won't allow me to flash his phone.
Hello, i updated my magic with the wrong ROM and now nothing works except FASTBOOT (vol down + power). everything else just freezes to the red vodafone screen. What can i do from here?
Here's the info:
Sapphire PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0010
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Please please with anything on top help?
ok
let's make things interesting. mods feel free to sticky this...
i really need a solution this weekend. i'll send three bottles of the best local beer to whoever solves my problem.
go!
Do you have a Nandroid backup of your original ROM? If so - see here
http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/NANDROID_Fastboot
If not, I'm sure a quick search will show someone has posted a full backup somewhere on here.
Sorry...didn't notice before that you have the Perfect SPL. I suggest looking here instead -

Yeah...that's because your phone has the Perfect SPL - it won't allow a fastboot connection. The article I linked to shows you how to change the SPL and enable this. Having said that, have you tried stian230's suggestion concerning connecting via adb to restore a recovery image?
Have a look at Amon_RA's thread for his excellent recovery image. This shows how to push the image to your phone and boot to it -

adb does not recognize my phone (all the drivers are ok, fastboot can see it). all the guides dealing with this said to make sure i have USB debugging enabled, but i can't access my phone to do this.
changing the spl seems to permanently void the warranty (not sure about this)...
K...sorry...this is where my n00bness runs me into a brick wall. The only way I know of to recover in this instance based on what you have said is to go ahead and flash a 'friendlier' SPL. Perhaps someone infinitely cleverer than I knows of another method though?

ADB will find your phone if you try a little while.
I promise
Just take it easy do not stress.
Try the phone off. or try recovery even if you do not get in recovery adb believe that it is the in recovery .
certainly sounds a bit strange but I did it that way
i just can't get adb to recognize my device. i tired on xp and 7, unistalled and reinstalled usb drivers and nothing.
all the guides mention tunring on USB debugging, but i can't get into android to do that. all i have is the damn fastboot. is there any other way to turn on usb debugging?
edit: apparently, adb isn't supposed to work in recovery mode. and since i can't use fastboot, because of my SPL, i'm locked out. any other ideas?
does not sound good. but I had the same problem a week ago. I had flashed a ROM and used the wrong port 32A. phone had a "semibriked" I only had access to fastboot and hboot.
I also have perfect spl. But after many attempts the adb found my phone.
I had an empty sdcard with only recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img on it.
is there any other method to change spl, or make fastboot work? the goldcard thing looks crazy hard...
hi,
i need ur guys opinion,
story goes
i have Magic 32a unlocked version.
then i root it to android 2.2.1 using the old radio / hboot combo.
then, i thought i want to update to android 2.3.1
now here is where the problem begins.
i accidently flashed the 32b radio on the phone. now the phone wouldnt go past the HTC Magic logo.
to fix this, i download the mytouch3G sappmig.img file and completely flash the phone over.
when i open fastboot it still using the 32b radio / hboot but this time the os loaded fine.
i install superandroot and superoneclick on the phone to root it
after rooting i tried flashing 32a radio / hboot but it say not allow.
next step i tried installing custom recovery and finally manage to do it using the flashrec app. i installed 32a recovery but it failed to boot it. i tried installing 32b recovery and it run fine.
now from the recovery itself i tried flashing 1.76 radio and the recovery unpack the file just fine. but when it says reboot, the 'Box with arrow and phone outside' image appear for a sec and then dissapear.
after that my htc magic is completely dead. pressing any button, pluging in usb cable or charger yield no effect (like a brick)
have i completely bricked my phone? please help.
Sad to say this, but yes.
You just had a bad radio flash...
Try JTAG.
i tried again after leaving the phone overnight, these are the only thing iam able to do with the phone:
trackball + power = blue led
long press power = led blink red once
plug in charger = battery charge indication light on, orange and then yellow indicating the battery is full.
and thats about it. no other button combo works. and fastboot devices and adb devices booth shows no device.
anyone doing this JTAG repair service?
bump...
im having the same problem...just posted my issue here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959938
i have the blue LED as well...
i googled how to make a JTAG cable...but its really past my level of competence...
were you ever able to get your phone fixed?
you found any solid step by step guide to make the jtag? please post the link here. i want to explore further. tq.
i was having the same problem...initially all went well, manage to change the from SHIP S-on to ENG S-off. i brick my device right after updated the rom to froyo and thereafter unable to boot. everytime i booted my magic, i only sees the RUU (fastbot) page. i cant do adb command. luckily the fastboot flash command still work.
i have try flashing with a lot of different images but always got stuck @ either
FAILED (remote: 42 custom id check fail) or FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail). never go beyond that...after going thru so much hassle of finding the right image, i finally manage to get it up and running. it flashes by ROM to enclair (2.1), good enough for me to use whatapp..
specification of my Magic is 32A S-O; radio 6.35.16.19; hboot 1.76.0010
this is how i "unbrick"
Download the SAPPIMG from shipped-roms.com, download Brasil_SAPPIMG_3.54.zip
place the file in android sdk folder, where fastboot resided.
make sure your device is fully charged...
boot your device and connect it to the usb, you will sees RUU USB.
type this command fastboot flash zip XXXXXXX.zip
i hope this help...
well, where to start...i bought my MT3G 1.2 brand new because my original decided to have antenna issues (only cell antenna and only inside a building). so fast forward about a year, after rooting my NEW MT3G, I end up letting a friend use it til he can get a replacement for his. I get the phone back (after his dog bit through the screen) and another MT3G that is broke to use as a donor for the screen. swap screens, salvage other parts to fix my original, and boot up the 1.2.
now here is where it gets...interesting...to say the least. unlike before, where it booted to the MyTouch 3g splash screen, it now thinks it is an HTC Magic...i have been looking and unsuccessfully flashing builds TRYING to get it to what it was so i can upgrade the radio and actually know what i have again.
what would cause the phone to think it is a Magic? was it something in clockworkmod? can it be reversed? and why, for the love of god, can i not flash anything but EZGingerbread to it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, cause im about to pull out what little hair i have left >_<
Sounds like fun!
If you haven't done yet: Download Android-SDK and install it (while installing choose Android SDK Tools, Android Platfrom-tools and Google USB Driver).
Connect your phone to usb and start it to bootloader (fastboot usb, back+power). Open a commandline on your computer and go to "...\android-sdk\platform-tools" depending on where you installed it. Then type
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
and
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
and post the output here.
And please leave your hair where it belongs to! :laugh:
well....that wasnt too bad, i just get <waiting for device> and it hangs
even using CID Getter on the phone itself doesnt give me a CID like it does on my Glacier...i think something may be seriously messed up here >_<
Don't know why it may hang. Does the phone work properly? Maybe just the splash-screen was changed.
Have a look at this thread - there are all official roms for magic and so on. Having a look at your radio the stock-rom on your phone for now may be #56 or #57 (hboot 1.33.0013, radio 2.22.23.02). Only the OTA-update has newer versions.
I don't know if it's worth risking to brick the phone just for this update - only if it works properly at the moment.
It works properly as far as calls and texts and data, but I haven't been able to update the radio or hboot at all, it keeps giving a device id mismatch error

What you can do:
- if you don't have a custom-recovery on your phone install one - try this guide without the optional stuff
- when done install the stock-rom for your phone (via custom-recovery) from official-rom-thread - i don't know if #56 or #57
- root and install custom-recovery again as shown above*
- then you may apply the OTA-update via custom-recovery (#58 from the official-rom-thread)
*I don't know if it's possible just to flash everything except recovery, then you wouldn't need to root it and install custom-recovery again.
That would be the newest versions for your phone.
I have ClockworkMod recovery already installed, and with this being my backup phone, I wouldn't be mad without root at all, though root is nice, I want it to be right lol
Sent from my Gingerbread on Sapphire
So you can flash your phone to official stock-rom and then update it to newest official-rom as i explained above. Or what should i tell you right now?
I tried to flash a stock rom, but with no success, when I get home I'll try again and post the error log

SWEET!!! i got the fastboot commands to come through for me
fastboot getvar cid
cid: T-MOB010
fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 2.53.707.2
And what happens when you try to flash "57) 2.10.531.4 T-Mobile USA DRD35" via custom-recovery (your recovery will be flashed too)?
That is a self installing executable file, when i try to run it, it tells me that it can not communicate with the device, and to make sure that the usb cable is connected and the phone is on, which it is both
so the 57) 2.10.531.4 T-Mobile USA DRD35 flash went finally, turns out, my phone didn't like it too much, because now, i am stuck at the HTC magic splash screen and i think it is bricked
I don't get it, that should have been the correct files for your phone. You're sure that it's a Mytouch 3g 1.2 and not the normal Mytouch 3g?
How did you flash the file?
If you search here you can find "tutorials" how to get the rom-files out of the RUU to flash it in hboot-mode.
Can you get into recovery-mode? What about hboot-mode?
It was a .exe file, so it ran from my computer, and I know it's a 1.2 because I couldn't afford the fender edition lol. Now it just hangs on the splash screen and won't let me do anything at all
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
I think it would have been better to extract the rom-file and flash it with hboot from sd-card... Then you should have been sure about what he flashed.
Maybe now you got some weird radio-system-whatever-mix and that's why it doesn't start.
Normaly you flashed the correct rom-file for your phone.
What you can try:
- remove battery for some time (5 minutes or whatever) and press power - then get the battery back in and try to start it again
- start the phone with Home+Back+Power or Menu+Back+Power (don't remember), in my case there was a menu to erase cache and so on, maybe this would work for you
- is your phone listed in "fastboot devices" when you power on your phone with Vol down+Power, Back+Power, Power, Home+Power or the combination from above? I read that some people are already in fastboot-mode and have text on their display when they see the logo, shown for example here (they had red text on red vodafone-logo):
http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...oter-vodafone-bildschirm-geloest-dsc00624.jpg
If not...
Does bluelight-mode work (i think it's trackball+power)? If so you can get it running with JTAG - you just need somebody who has the equipment and so on. Where are you from?
