I have been searching the forums for about an hour trying to figure these things out.
Previously I rooted my phone back when JF was the only ROM out and I didn't keep up with it.
Now I see that there's all these new different kinds of roms and its pretty confusing.
So far what I have been trying to do is start from the beginning because I don't know what is updated and what isn't.
Trying to un-root my phone, was following this thread. I believe I was able to update the original SPL that is in the sticky thread in development by doing the update. After that I was trying to get into bootloader to load the DREAIMG.nbh and it would just show the tri-color screen and nothing else. I hit the power button as it said on that thread but nothing showed up, waited about 30 minutes. So I restarted and tried a few times, no luck.
I reboot my phone once more and let it boot up normally and my old ROM is still intact, just wiped. I decided to just try to update to the SuperHero Full ROM and reading the thread it says newest SPL is required, which I can't seem to find which one is the newest.
Any direction or if I'm doing this wrong would be nice to know. Thanks for any help you can give.
http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/spl-signed.zip
that is the newest signed SPL. flash that, then install hero, along with a wipe to make sure you have no problems, and you should be good. as far as your flashing problem, what exactly are you doing?
I was trying to flash it back to RC29 and was having issues
issues with what? i dont know what the problem is unless you tell me
if it is a flashing issue for the SPL, there are many threads in the dev section.... as far as downgrading, there is another thread over in the dev section, go check them out

I followed the downgrading or unrooting thread.
When I try to downgrade to RC29 in bootloader, it goes to a tri-color screen with just Serial0 in the middle with the Radio version and such, then does nothing else. I'm going to try skipping downgrading, wanted to start from scratch but I will just try to switch from my ROM to SuperHero's and see how it goes.
update: I did the SPL update from that link and now its stuck on the boot screen (G1 logo)
Are you able to enter into recovery? (Power on while holding the home key) if so, place the rom of your choice (something other than the Hero Rom until you are sure you have the latest SPL and radio) on your sd card, name it update.zip wipe then apply the update. This should get you up and running. Also? Which radio do you have?

After I download and update the radio. I can not boot the phone all its display is an icon with an box and arrow pointing to a phone. I attached my icon image. Please maybe somebody give me an idea. How to boot it back. Thanks in advance.

The radio images at modaco are for the HTC Hero. I was wondering whether or not this radio update would work on my Magic... Try looking in the development section for the newest original magic firmware RUU (it's the official HTC method of updating). This update contains a correct magic radio image (amongst other things). The RUU package should include a readme on how to apply the update. The screen you are seeing on your phone is the original recovery screen so at least we know that your device is not bricked!
Hi,
I'm on the same situation .... my HTC magic not boot. But on my case is impossible run the update menu.
how can I install the original Radio for saphire?
thanks for your suggestions,
This is interesting.
I was considering flashing that EUROPEAN radio to my spare phone (HTC Dream) to basically take the 50/50 chance to see whether or not it would actually register and comply with the device.
So, it's confirmed that this method DOES NOT WORK...correct?
Which radio did you flash again? I'll double-check the link. And which update did you attempt to apply? The 2.1 Hero version of the build...? As in the "enhanced" port. That won't be available for the Sapphire (32B) for a few days. Paul @ Modaco-ANDROID said he is working the kinks out, then fashioning an enhanced version for the Sapphire and apparently the Dream as well.
Hi,
thanks for your reply ... but now, my problem is recover the htc.
I try to entry on the Recovery tool and run fastboot, etc ... and nothing work's ....
thanks for your help
Hmph. That's not a good sign.

Not to say you shouldn't be on the optimistic side of this...but from what you've stated; sounds like you have just created a $300 paper weight! I'm sorry.
If you cannot boot into recovery, cannot run fastboot, and from what I understand you cannot power on your device into a normal loading...that's a serious set of problems. Potentially permanent ones.
NOW, all things considered...have you tried ADB? Can your computer detect the device to run ADB? If so, you might have some luck in that department to uninstall whatever you've done or possibly re-flash the appropriate radio and SPL.
Search tutorials. I cannot offer further assistance for your particular situation. It's in your hands now.
I'm in the same boat.
I'd be interested to find out what this screen actually is. I thought it might be a recovery image but adb devices does not return any information.
None of the usual key combinations to get to hboot or fastboot or recovery will work.
I have the latest rogers update ruu and will try to run that and see if it works.
Wasn't able to use the rogers updater as it wouldn't see the phone.
Spoke to HTC support who seemed not to know what the box with the arrow pointing to a phone screen meant.
They are collecting tomorrow and will re flash it for me.
Whether someone will be able to tell that I was flashing a new, apparently incorrect, radio we'll just have to wait and see.
radio
i have the same thing i tried to install a different radio on the cyn 10.1.1 rom and i had teh same recovery logo. i tried everything. i thing our phone is bricked. i called rogers and they will send me a new phone as i told them i used the rogers update tool. next month ill see if they will charge me for the damage or not.
My phone is back with HTC for repair. Initially they said they would re flash it, but now I understand that they are replacing the main board. It looks like the problem is pretty terminal!
I have same problem, is there any solution for this?
same situation here,any help?
For now there is no solution, maybe serial cable in blue led mode or jtag can help,
read about it in G1 section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591048
This problem is caused by failed radio rom update, I think JTAG will help, but problem is we dont have pinouts for magic. So if anyone have magic with water damage can help us finding pinouts for jtag.

Same problem , but you should go back and download your same SPL & Radio that came with your and go into fastboot and flash theme to your phone , then flash the correct recovery img for your phone model , and hopefully you are good to go , hope this helps .
PS : should be done through your PC , good luck
Magic with box.arrow problem cant go into fastboot mode!

Thanks

I bought a black HTC Dream,it`s from Movistar (Spain) provider,it is unlocked.
I tried all the steps on this forum, i tried to downgrade to rc29,but when i press the camera+power button, appears a white background (with some android skaters down), and when it reads the Dreamimg.nbh , it says model id incorrect.
I tried to do the cupcake update(that is what i want to do) and when i go into the bootloader with home+power,hit alt+l and alt+s, an error cannot verify package.
If someone has this kind of problems and solved it,i would be very gratefull if u can help me.Thanks in advance.
In the camera+power it says:

2 Things:
1. Make sure that the file is DREAIMG.nbh. It is case sensitive and make sure its not DREAMIMG.nbh.
2. Have you tried the RC7 version since that was meant for UK phones.
Sorry , i misspelled , it is DREAIMG.nbh, not Dreamimg.nbh (my bad ),i will try the RC7 , i tried de rc8 and did not work

If RC7 don't work then you might have to go another method. I don't know if Moviestar's Dream would be considered an international phone, if so there is a different method for it. Just try RC7 if it don't work let me know.
I tried the rc7 , from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548924
it says do u want to start update?<action>yes; power<no> , i press trackball for yes
update is in progress...

You have to be rooted in order to install anything other than anything official. Let me look this up for you. Just be patient and we'll get this solved. I'm sure someone else will chime in and prolly know the answer.
when i put the update.zip in the sd (like cupcake), and run the recovery home+power , that erorr : canno`t verify package is what hurts me the most
and i`m sure that someone else had this and somehow made it happen.But when i tried rooting my phone to solve this , and saw that this doesn`t work i was very dissapointed.Does it have to do with Movistar, did they put somekind of firmware and that is keeping me from "hacking" my phone?When i turn on my phone, there is an image with movistar`s logo,before the "android" loadscreen , and that is why i`m asking+ the uknown build number , that doesn`t have an "rc" or "r" in it,so i kinda` don`t know what is mine... waiting for someone to have another ideea..thanks for everything supreme!hope dies last...

It might have something to do with Moviestar or something. I remember seeing something in the past about another person from spain had an issue like this and they fixed it, didn't really pay attention to it. Just don't give up yet.
Other opionions?Can someone come with a reason why am i having all this problems with my dream?Looking for answers for a time , but i can`t find an explination...
In the one click method there IS a way to bypass the backup option, its a secret invisible button, just to the right or left of one of the other 2 buttons, no guarantees this button exists or wont detonate a thermoneuclear warhead in your kitchen, just something i read a while back
I did it!!! I found on the HTC website the Cupcake 1.5 update for Telefonica Movistar (Spain), it is a .exe that does everything from windows,after the update was made and i had the 1.5 firmware, i saw that the SPL was 1.33.0010, a 'perfect' SPL that disables remote booting recovery.img files used to install the 1.33.2005 SPL, it`s just like the Rogers SPL found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558301 and now this method with the 1 click works , i don`t need to the invisible button trick , it does the backup and all the things u need!
So for everybody with Movistar G1`s , do the update from HTC website and then follow the many Rogers tutorials for rooting your phone!
'Scuse me, I have one of these phones in Ireland. I'm ready for a home for the bewildered trying to get an upgrade, or downgrade going on it. Can you post a link to that magic cupcake-1.5 update for Telefonica Movistar? I can't seem to find it.

That link works fine. Now to try wrestling with vista again. I'm a linux guy by nature and this vista cheeses me off, but I actually have a copy I couldn't refund(I bought bankrupt stock), so I left it installed in case it might come in useful. Looks like it will.
Hmmm... Not doing too well. There may have been another security fix installed. :-(.

Any ideas from Here?
I didn`t root my phone,because it still has warranty,and if i do that i will lose it, so i can`t help u with these kind of problems but i know for a fact that after u did the update from htc website, u have the spl as the Rogers Dream does , and u can search any Rogers Dream rooting tutorial out there , it doesn`t have to be the 1 click method, the`re are other methods too,i hope u succed but it`s up to you and how u follow those tutorials
Finally sorted myself out and got root, I believe. I lost my sdcard reader and had to sneak off and buy one because I couldn't download things after wiping. Ever feel silly?
I have upgraded to Cyanogen-4.2.4, HBoot-1.33.2005 and everything that goes with it following the Rogers Dream. Now I'm going to find my way around before I fart about any more with the thing.
Good work, i told u it works after all,no u can enjoy the benefits!
So, i finally went and tried to get a 6.5.5 rom on my HD2 after reading everywhere that its alot better. Everything worked, the hardspl, the customruu installation..
then the phone booted, it showed the rom information (ROMeOS4 LEO Windows Mobile 6.5.5) and it said it was "customizing" dont know why really.. then it restarded, and now it wont get past the white HTC screen.. what do i do??

From the thread for your rom:
INFO / CURRENT ISSUES & SOLUTIONS ***PLS READ THIS***
*This ROM require at least radio v2.07. v208 is highly recommended.

There would be a radio on your device from your original rom, it's probably just the wrong version. As stated, for that rom you require either the 2.07.50 or 2.08.50 radio. Follow the link in my signature and flash the radio exactly the same way as you flashed your rom.
OKay i got all that but i cant flash it because the phone is stuck at the white htc boot screen so the customRuu doesnt recognize it.
what do i do now? im stumped.. is there a manual hard reset key press or something?
EDIT: I figured out how to get into bootloader and im now putting the right radio on it, lets see if this works

Just pot your phone in bootloader mode by reseting while presing volume down button and after that flash the proper radio.

Putting the radio wich you suggested on it didnt work, it still hangs at the white htc screen... should i flash another rom? i really dont wanna kill my HD2 haha

I sugest you to flash back your original rom by sd card and restart the whole proces once again by flashing the radio first and after that the desired rom.
By flashing the original rom trought sd card metod you will have to reinstall HSPL.

Hiya guys,
I'm sorry that, like most other threads of this nature, my first post is a "HELP ME!" type affair.
Having issues with my HTC Vodafone Magic, when I turn it on it goes onto the Vodafone splash screen and no further.
Before I start asking about installing a new ROM and all that stuff (of which I have no clue whatsoever), I found this in the FAQ sticky and was wondering if it applies to me:
Q- I cant go past the first splash screen and i cant move into recovery or bootloader
A- Say goodbye to your phone, it is bricked.
Remedy- PM me maybe i can help you get a new phone (already got a new phone after bricking)

Is there any hope for fixing my phone?
Thanks for looking at this thread.

yes there is... you should be in a good shape...
What have you done to get to this state?
I'm unsure what you mean?
What have you done to get into this state...
E.g.
Did change anything in the rom?
Did you flash a sappimg.zip?
Did you just wake up and the device was like that?
Did your dog mess up your device while you were sleeping?
What did you do to get into this state?
My bad.
I bought the phone second hand, bloke said he'd tried updating the software but it hadn't worked.
My phone was working fine the other day, and mid-conversation on a phone call it turned itself off. Tried turning it back on but it just goes to the Vodafone splashscreen and no further.
Tried doing a hard reset, but the phone looks for some .zip files and says "no image found!" for every folder it looks through.
There was an App on the phone called Clockwork, which is something to do with ROM changing.
Cheers for your help so far!

You need to get fastboot up and running so that we can grab some information off the phone, but like mumi said, its fixable. Get fastboot installed (a search will aid you there) and myself or mumi will post back with what to do next. Hope your familiar with navigating DOS as your about to get a crash course if not.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk
you can fix it through fastboot.
try to flash recovery into your g2 first
Hiys guys, sorry for taking so long to get back.
Work has been hectic so unable to sort anything out, ended getting a Desire HD on contract in the end.
Will be keeping the Magic to play and learn with, but for the forseeable future I'm swamped with work, so I will get back on here and sort the thing out when I can.
Thanks for your help so far guys, I will return! DOS will be a new experience for me
