HTC magic wownt load anything!

Hi all
This is my first post, please be gentle. I have tried searching and read lots but have got now where very fast. Firstly thanks to everyone putting out all the guides and working on the updates and such. I have a HTC magic vodafone google UK
I tried rooting my phone using: http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?t ... ic_Rooting
then I loaded recovery RAv1.1.2 which worked well again
I think its at this step where I went wrong. I then tried to load up the fatality Scene onto my phone and now it does not boot. looking back i missed the fact it was for 32A and not 32B and when i try to restore nandroid the same problem of only vodafone splash screen comes up and hangs until battery is removed
I can access recovery by holding home and power, i can load roms from sd card but on reboot it hangs on vodafone. So I have to take the batery out. I can still access fast boot when putting battery back in and back and that has got me no where aswell
on fastboot it says
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0004 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
APR 9 2009, 23:30:40
All I wanted to do is to be able to access voice dialing, multi touch and saving apps on SD card, anything else is a bonous. Now any use apart from a paper weught would be good
any advice appreciated!!!
please help!!!

ok well if you can still acess fastboot then you shoulb be able to load recovery image by using
fastboot boot name-of-recovery-image.img
and then flash the phone again using a 32B rom... Make sure of course that you first download the rom and place it on the sdcard using a card reader or something!

I have learned the error of my ways. Basically I should have read more and try and understand what the actual process was doing rather than blindly following instructions. Im all up and running and have to say many thanks to every one working on this, there is actually more than enough info and support if you look for it!

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:

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).

[Q] My HTC myTouch keeps rebooting,freezing,no touch?

Ok first off I am new to all of this. This Is my first android smartphone It's a T-Mobile MyTouch 3g. I just bought It off eBay and If I can't fix It then I am out some money PLEASE HELP!!
Have done some reading but can't seem to fix what's going on with this phone . I got It off eBay and the seller said It had problems with the touch screen every so often but other wise worked great In every other way but that Is so so far from the truth.
When you first turn It on It will boot up to the sim pin screen. I have gotten the touch screen to respond long enough to enter my pin once. It will freeze and reboot over and over. The track ball will work once In a while along with the home and back buttons.
I know It's running Superfly TCBY Froyo ROM and I think thats were all the problems are because It does work right every so often so I have been trying to unroot It and put It back to factory rom and settings and start fresh with the hopes that It will fix the problems but the problem now Is when I go into recovery to flash It or make any kinds of changes, It will freeze and reset. I can't even get the recovery menu to work long enough to do anything. Can someone please explain how I can get this phone back to original.
PLEASE HELP

We need your fastboot information. Turn the phone on holding back+power and post the info you see here.

OK well I did a search and have been doing alot of reading and I managed to get It to load a Generic MyTouch Rom w/Root because when I try to unroot to SAPPIMG Sapphire T-Mobile US 2.10.531.4 release i keep getting main version older update failed so I read to go to a Generic MyTouch Rom w/Root and try again from here
"theunlockr.com/2010/04/26/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-htc-mytouch-3g"
Still same problem main version older update failed. I can't create a Goldcard to try the Goldcard method because I don't have access to the phone to enable USB debugging. I can't do much with the phone because of the freezing.
I can get Into fastboot and hboot but It still freezes. So I know It's not bricked but touch Is still not working. can load the phone up but pretty much becomes a good paper weigh after a few minutes on. The buttons will not responded, no touch, no access to to anything Inside the phone.
What can I do? Is this phone worthless? Can It be fixed? I feel like I just bought a expensive paper weigh.
As I said before I am hoping that If I can get It back to original settings and rom that It will stop freezing, stop rebooting and the touch, buttons, and system will work right.. What do you think Is causing all of these problems?? No touch, Freezing, rebooting?? How can I get It back to being unrooted and running the original software/rom PLEASE HELP.....

If you have access to recovery you can flash an engineering SPL and the just flash the stock sappimg again and it'll work. I can link ya in a minute.

when i flash the recovery and boot it just goes to the green mytouch splash screen and does nothing.. if i try to boot into recovery manually with power and home it goes to the black screen with the exclamation triangle and a phone...

I can still get Into HBOOT and FASTBOOT but I can not get Into the recovery menu and the phone will not load pass the MyTouch 3g screen.
How can I flash a new recovery img via hboot?
[What I "know"]
My understanding is that I have a Shipment SPL aka "Perfect SPL" with Security on which means I cannot use fastboot.
I also get a "Main version is older. Update failed" when I try to down grade and unroot.
[My Goal]
I want to change my SPL to a engineering one, unroot and get back to stock.

Your going to need to make a goldcard, which means you will need a phone that runs Android. Any phone running Android will work. You can use the guide from here to make it. You'll only need the other phone for Part III steps 1-5 from that guide. Once you get the goldcard made, put this file on it, boot into hboot and flash like you did the other sappimg. That will get you the engineering SPL. Then from fastboot, run this command:
Code:
fastboot erase system
Then, put this SAPPIMG on your regular SD card (or you can replace the other sappimg on your goldcard) and flash it from hboot. Hopefully something in the system partition is corrupted and the wipe will fix it so that the sappimg can write the new system properly.

First off THANK YOU DonJuan692006 for all of your help.. I would love to make a gold card because I think that would solve all of my problems but I don't have access to another phone that runs Android that's why I have not tried that yet. I have no way to make a gold card. I have extra SD Cards but no other phone that runs Android to complete It and my phone will not allow me to do any of that at this point. What else can I do?? Is there any other way to make a gold card?

I will have access to another phone that runs Android In a few days but until then I am stuck.

I have now made a gold card, got the engineering spl Installed and then tried to Install the other file and It gets stuck on system unzipping while updating and then reboots. what can I do now???

Were you able to do the fastboot erase system before trying the second sappimg?
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk

No I was not able to do that. I have done alot of reading over the last few weeks and I still don't understand how to enter commands In fastboot. So thats why it didn't work?

That was kind of the point in flashing the engineering SPL. All you do is download the AndroidSDK kit. Extract it to somewhere you can find it. Inside of that folder will be a folder called Tools with the fastboot.exe. So you just open a command prompt from there and do the command in my other post.
So, if you were to extract AndroidSDK to the root of your C: drive (as I did), you would simply open a command prompt window by typing "cmd" in either the run box on Windows XP or the "Search" box in Windows Vista and 7, and then type
Code:
cd C:\AndroidSDK\Tools\
Alternatively, if your using Windows Vista or Windows 7, you can navigate in Windows Explorer to the Tools folder and launch a command prompt directly from that folder by holding Shift and right-clicking. There will be an extra option in the menu "Open command window here". Make sure that you don't right click on a file, right-click somewhere in the a blank are in the folder.

Ok, I understand. I have AndroidSDK Installed. Needed It to make the goldcard. I understand how to do It know. Thanks again for all your help. I will try again the right way and get back.

[Q] HTC Magic 32B bricked? - Access to fastboot but no way to flash anything

Hi Everyone,
I own a HTC Magic 32B (Sapphire) and flashed it several times with different ROMS during the last months with no problem.
2 days ago, I decided to downgrade it to 1.6 Donut since I can't even write a sms properly with higher versions (Cyanogen, Vodafond OTA included)
I started wiping and tried to flash the rom but I faced radio and/or hhoot version issues and there began the nigthmare
At the moment, I've nothing loaded on my internal storage, only a sappimg.nbh on the sdcard. I finally succeed to install alternative drivers on my computer to make fastboot working and tried to flash dozens of different nbh/zip/img (radios, spl, hboot, recovery) without success!
So now, i have a soft/hard bricked phone with no idea on how to fix it.
Several infos to help you understand my case:
- Home + Power gives nothing, just the G1 logo
- Power + Volume Down let the phone detect the nbh file stored on the sdcard but when i start the update, it freezes at the first step (radio_v2) but no issue with signature checking
- Power + Menu gives access to the fastboot menu. From my computer, no way to flash any kind of file (signature checking fails everytime)
Below are the information provided by the "Android Skateboarding screen"

Same issue here (from a newbie).
I downloaded to Donut per Unlockr's instructions but couldn't get any new ROM's to load, so tried Clockwork Recovery. Now the phone boots up into Donut and HBOOT correctly, however will not boot into Bootloader.

same problem here :S cant flash anything cant get anywhere.

Find a sappimg.nbh or zip and flash In hboot. You might need a goldcard

Is this HTC Magic bricked?

Hello,
I recently tried to update the spl/radio to use a new rom on my HTC Magic 32A and after updating the spl the phone just hangs on the "HTC Magic" screen. Fastboot or Recovery wont start if I hold the buttons. Was just wondering if it is bricked or if it is possible to fix via cmd or so? I read alittle on jtag but I think if it came down to that Ill just buy a new phone cause this phone is not worth that much trouble.
I rooted the phone a year or so ago. First I had cyanogen but they dropped support so I switched too gingeryoshi but the wifi stopped working. It still connected to tmobile hotspot but I couldnt tether or connect to my wifi. So I thought of putting on Froyodragon. I updated too HBOOT-1.76.2007 but then it just hanged on reboot.
Thanks for any input.

Turn phone off (if you have bootloop then remove battery and place it back after 10-20 sec)
Turn on by pressing Back + Power - it's fastboot-mode
Write first 5 rows of info (all symbols are important)
If you do not have Android Sdk Tools configured - do it
Additionaly search for fastboot.exe - this utility can be absent from sdk tools
Connect phone to pc when it in fastboot-mode
Run
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
fastboot getvar cidnum
fastboot getvar version-main

hello,
I tired back+power, power+vol down, and power+home, they all just sit at the "HTC Magic" screen.

Did you remove battery before try and placed it back? If yes and any combination did not help -> 'brick'. Only JTAG can help.
What ROM did you have before?
And what ROM did you update?
There are no bricked phones when 32A phone updating with 32A official ROM. I don'y understand how you bricked your device.
Even if hboot updated but radio did not - there are some chances to restore...
Tell us how it happened?

same problem
Sir im also facing the same problem like this person is facing:
I guess that I've bricked my HTC magic phone. actually it was working fine but after when i flash Hboot file named (ISO-8859-1__STOCK-HBOOT) on it.
my device stop functioning not any key is working phone its not coming up in hboot loader screen by pressing vol down key+power key, not even in recovery mode. by pressing home key+ power key.
but if i press vol down+power key its not showing any hboot loader screen but if i use command prompt after that and use fastboot devices command its shows the device like in machine language
just like this:

Yes I removed the battery (only way i could turn it off). I stated most of this info in the first post but Ill try and state specifically what versions I had. When I first rooted I used Cyanogen Rom. It worked fine but they dropped support so I switched too Gingeryoshi. I dont remember what version. I tried to update it too 1.5 first but it didnt work but fastboot and recovery still worked so I decided to switch to a new rom instead and tried Froyodragon but it needed radio 6.35.16.19 and HBOOT-1.76.2007. So I wiped it then I did the HBOOT-1.76.2007 and after installing and rebooting is when it stopped working.

Crap, I just did this too... got a yellow arrow coming from a box onto an Android. I flashed a mismatched 6.35 radio (I guess?).
Can't boot to fastboot--can only boot to blue light mode (trackball+power) and phone will charge if connected by USB--but is never recognized by ADB or fastboot.

Wait 5-10 minutes, "yellow arrow coming from box" equals unpack and flash. Phone should finish this process.
Try to load into hboot-mode: turn phone off (remove battery and place it back if bootlooping), then turn on by pressing Volumedown + power
In this mode you can flash full official rom in sappimg.zip format (or sappimg.nbh if you have 32b magic)
If phone doesn't load into any mode (except trackball + power) - then you have brick and only jtag can help.
