Well as the title says i bricked my phone
it hapened when i tried too gain root with a (whitch i didnt know at the time) obsolete guide described here http://theunlockr.com/2009/07/08/how-to-root-your-htc-magic/ i did all that it said should bee done but now when i boot i only get too the htc magic screen and it freazes there
since it is a software issue it MUST bee posible too reflash it with a workin rom or something like that but all methods i have tried have failed to help me and i have tried numerous both methods and img's and update.zip's
soo if you have sugestions (or better yet a solution) please post as a maniac
sincerest NoaT

i used the rom provided on the page and no i where stupid/cocky enough to not make a backup
after it didn't work i tried several ather rom's (thinkin it might have been a baad rom to start with)
but i where thinkin (after reading this thread that maybee i could fin the .img files hee mentions too re-flash somewhere on the web, but no luck so far
Go into fastboot mode and tell me which board you have by rebooting and holding down the Back button and pressing the Power/End Call button
PVT32B use this recovery image here
and any of these SPL's found here and any ROM labeled 32B
PVT 32A use this method and recovery image here and any ROM labeled 32A
Connect to pc via USB
fastboot boot (enter recovery here).img
Unplug from USB
Apply update.zip from the menu list

i have the 32a model, but first of what is this spl thing and is it not nessesary for the 32a model?
and second of if it is could you post a link to that aswel and maybe a guide on how to flash spl's (like can i put both the spl and the rom on the flash drive at the same time and save the whole proces of takin the sd out of the phone to transfere files to it?)
thanks already NoaT
If you need root then you NEED the SPL. All links are provided in my last post. Follow the instructions for the 32A device
Yes you can put both the SPL and ROM on the same card at the same time, make sure you label them differently like update1 for your SPL first and update2 for the ROM. Use choose update option in recovery in the menu list in order to see both

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
Hey guys,
I'm an android developer and I'm having a little trouble getting going with this MyTouch I just received from eBay. SOOOoooo...
Issue #1: I don't have a T-SIM Card
Issue #2: I don't have an Unlock Code
I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, T-Mobile MyTouch 3G
I took this badboy out of the box, formatted the SD card and wiped. My thinking is that I'll just put CM6 on it and go about my business. So I started following the instructions on the wiki and have flashed COC10 SAPPIMG.nhb.
Worked fine.
Now, I'm trying to get Clockwork Recovery on there and am running into problems. I can't tell if it's a problem with my machine, this phone, my general setup, my Android Development Enviorment or what, but I cannot get fastboot to work.
I hold down back/pwr to boot the phone into fastboot mode, then plug it in. When I connect it to my computer, it says "USB Device Not Recognized - One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it." then "Driver Software Installation was not successfully installed." It does not show up in USBDeview at all.
I've tried to update the driver, us the Google Driver, etc, but nothing seems to help.
Has anyone else had this happen or can give me some info on how to fix it?
Thanks!

you cant use fast boot if s is on
s-on
so you'll have to get the recovery threw ROM manager which can be download from the market
lol dont forget to thank me
problem solved
Thanks for the reply!
Is there any other way to do it without going through the market? I don't have a SIM card, so I can't really get past that first screen to even get to the market!
Thanks!

Inaccurate. S-ON simply means that its not a full access SPL so certain commands are locked out but not all.
To the OP, do you have another Android powered device that you can make a goldcard with? Cause your going to need one. As for the driver, are you sure your plugging the phone into the computer after entering fastboot and not during the bootup? If yes, try installing HTC Sync and then plug the phone in (only when prompted) with it in fastboot mode. Lets start there.

I have a Motorola Droid running a different OS, but I have a feeling that's not going to help very much! I haven't gone down this goldcard route yet.

Just gave this a shot. No joy. I get the same "device is not functioning properly" notifications as before. After dismissing everything, HTC Sync does not recognize the device.
As an aside, if I go get a prepaid card from T-Mobile, would that be enough to give me access to the Market?
Thanks for your help!
Once you get the prepaid SIM I think your given the option to purchase a one-day data pass for $2 at the activation screen. Then you could use ROM Manager. Have you tried plugging the phone in with it booted up to the activation screen?

Yeah I think they've got this baby locked down pretty tight.
I give, I'm going the pre-pay/day pass route.
Thanks for everyone's help and input!

well im set up with adb and now the only problem i have is that the phone is on a read only system any ideas on how i can change or get around it?
Turn phone off. Turn on by pressing Back + Power (it's fastboot mode). Write here first 5 rows. All symbols are important.
In fastboot-mode check command:
fastboot devices (it it would return serial number - connection is fine)
p.s. You can find fastboot.exe in Android SDK Tools package

As you have 32A Magic, you can upgrade to new hboot/radio combination, then downgrade (if you want)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5526163&postcount=1
p.s. Goldcard is important (without it you can not process through upgrade)
So the problem i got is that theres no goldcard?
How would flashing another rom help me i cant flash it with no recovery.
I have fastbootcomander but i cant use that couse of s on, and i cant push any files there adb couse its on a ready only file mod.
Trying to understand
I forgot to menchen that my phone is not deticketing the sdcard i cant mount it and tge card is fine sorry about that .
OMG . There are too many problems together...
Ok. Try to understand what can happen...
1.
You need create goldcard. Search for kingston or transcend sd-card. Make goldcard from it. You can use any Android-phone from HTC. You can ask friends.
2.
I think that problem "no sdcard detection" depends on radio stuck. But when you will run RUU - it does not use sdcard at first step (probably). RUU will try change phone into RUU-mode to flash images.
But. Even if RUU would flash new hboot and radio, it might stuck when flashing ROM (system image), cause at this moment RUU compares CID from phone with CIDs from ROM. Different CIDs will get error and phone will stuck at RUU-mode.
I see ,ill make a goldcard and flash the ruu and see what happens. Thanks alot bud for your help ill keep it updated if all gose well
ish this blows <lol so much to do
ok im downloading the ruu rom the link you gave me (late i know iv been realy busy)

1. Solve it. Install Htc Sync, it has drivers. The best configuration - have 32bit Windows XP.
2. Additionaly, you can boot into fastboot-mode (back + power), then run Ruu. But drivers are more important.
P.s. in rare cases there are problems with usb-cable (when it is not stock), or with usb-port (rear usb-port 2.0 is preffered).

A more elaborate reply would help a lot. Simply saying "I cant do this" and "this doesn't work" doesn't really enable someone to attempt to help you.
Anyway, try this method to install the drivers. It should work: (It did, for me anyway)
