Help please!! Htc magic almost bricked.

Here is te the deal I have an htc magic model A6161. It is a 32a magic and it is an htc branded phone. I rooted my device successfully and installed a custom rom on it. Everything worked fine until I flashed the 6.35.10.18 radio. Now my device can only boot on fastboot mode and bootloader, and when try to turn it on normally it just shows the htc logo for a few seconds and then reboot itself doing the same
I just wanted to know if there is a way for me to get my phone working Again. Here is the info of my phone :
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.10.18
may 8 2009 21:02:32

if i am correct (which i may not be cuz i dont know much about 32a phones) then i think you have to flash an spl that goes with the 6.xx radios.

Yes I thought that as well but the thing is that I can't flash anything with in recovery because when boot my phone in recovery mode it reboots itself before a can do something. I tried to flash with fastboot but I could'nt ether because my magic is SHIP S-ON H and I need it to be S-OFF H to do that. Just in case I know that the "S" means security. Do you know how can get it be S-OFF instead of S-ON. If I can do that then I think I will be able to fix my phone. If not any other helpful info is welcomed.

Make a goldcard would be step one.
Sent from my fingers.

I read that a 2gb sd card is needed for that. Is it true or I can do it with a 1gb sd as well?, because I used to have a 2gb sdcard but Is lost and I would have to buy a new one.

1 Gb is fine. Hell a 256 MB would work.

Run the following command from fastboot..."fastboot getvar version-main" and post the output here.

Hello, all. I'm sorry I write in this threat, but I have exactly same problem. I got the SPL to 1.33.2009 S-OFF from 1.33.0009 S-ON and when I tried to update the radio to 6.35 ( via the Radioswitcher tool )- it was successful, but can't boot. Nore fastboot or RadioSwitcher does the work ( phone goes into black screen ).
Wish you luck with our issue.
edit: I managed to flash the old image but now it's stuck on the "HTC MAGIC" logo, and still won't boot.
edit2: Got everything back, like before, but still can't boot. Have to mention that, when updated, I used the top options from the RS GUI, "Flash bundled Radio, SPL& Recovery" with checked "Erase system+userdata+cache" - is this, what I've done wrong ? If I understand correctly, a custom rom flash would fix the problem, because I've deleted the system, right ?
Thank's for your time.

Sorry grundio I whish I could help you but I do not have experience with 32a magics at all.but maybe the guy how is helping me can give you a hand as well. Let's wait for him to reply. Otherwise if you need some help with 32b devices I might be helpful.

Thank you, @gabriel.castro. Wish you luck .
Well, if we can go into fastboot- there is always hope. I think I accidently deleted my rom and flash would fix it, but I am hoping for a confirmation, to be sure.

I have a 32A. I'd say follow the instructions here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Magic_(32A):_Rooting_(6.35.x_radio)
And once you get a working ROM booted up (Yoshi's, CM, etc), take it slow on upgrading again. Also, I don't personally trust apps like that, just do it the commandline way and it'll just work. Dunno, I just trust commands more xD.

sorry if i'm mistaken but i think that in order to this procedure to succeed my phone most be able to boot normally first. and that is my problem. i can't get it to boot normally. but thanks for your time anyway

Run the following command from fastboot..."fastboot getvar version-main" and post the output here.

The output is: "version-main: 2.52.707.2"
what is next?

Unroot problem

so this is what happend i had my g2 rooted with cm7 i needed to unroot it cuz my power button broke so i followed the guide on here http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/01/how-to-unroot-the-t-mobile-g2-htc-vision/
everything seemed to work fine but when i flashed the stock PCIMG.zip and rebooted i had s-on and still cm7 with clockwork recovery so i tried to root turn s-off again it said exec format error

i have a similar issue, any help would be great
EDIT:i did hear that that sometimes occurs if the hboot file you use during the root isn't compatible with the rom being used causing the exec format error...but i wouldn't know for fact

I have the exact same problem. I am relatively new at this stuff, so if it doesn't make any sense, please tell me.
I rooted my HTC Desire Z by using fr3vo. This worked like a charm and I installed CyanogenMod 7. But then I tried to unroot, and now I'm stuck with CyanogenMod 7 en S-ON. I guess something went wrong because there are all kinds of different roms etc. for the HTC Desire Z/Vision/T-Mobile G2 (one phone, 3 different names) and I probably used the wrong PC10IMG.zip file. When I try to install different ROMs, they all end up in a start-up loop and I'm forced to recover to my latest CyanogenMod back-up. Does someone have an idea how to get from this situation to an unrooted HTC Desire Z again? I'm afraid I didn't backup my phone with clockwork before I installed CyanogenMod...
Here's some info:

I'm kind of desperate here!
lo_es

Anyone..? I could really use some help!

I think when people mess up unrooting, what they have to do is temp root, so they can downgrade.

But I still have root, that's not the issue. Because S-OFF got switched to S-ON again (I still don't know how that happened), I can't flash another ROM. So downgrading won't work.

Kinda odd that you already now have S-OFF. But you're gonna have to downgrade back to 2.2.1 first. This thread will show you everything that you need to do/know.

Doesn't gingerbreak.apk work if S-Off?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

Gingerbreak won't work.
On the other hand, having S-OFF allows it to flash PD15IMG with recovery, for example. Which in turn allows everything else.

You totally didn't need to use the XTC clip! And what kind of a noob are you if you have an XTC clip? ;-)
But now that you have...

Use the file that just contains ClockworkMod and ENG HBoot:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Y2A16P54
Then boot into recovery and flash any ROM you want to. Or root the stock ROM using the superuser update zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828 (use the "ef" Eclair/Froyo version)

[Q] Just got this phone,and need help

Hello all,
So I just bought a mytouch 4g for 175 from CL, no water damage. I checked the eMMC chip using a terminal emulator, and it checked out good.
Now, How do I root it and install CM7?
I tried the guide on the UNLOCKER"s site, but the files needed are offline.
I tried to use superonelick,rooted with that, but when i use the terminal and enter "SU" I get a permission denied error.

There is a sticky in the development section with some great instructions on a couple of methods. Make sure you check your Android version before you start. You want to root version 2.2.1. Stay away from htc bootloader unlock... Good luck!

Thank you for being polite, eqjunkie. I hope other people follow your example.

Wow lucky! Good chip?
And man, you even got FROYO on it as well! I thoiyght all MT4Gs now have GB on them... I would've thought the original owner had gotten GB on there...
Anyway, just follow what eqjunkie said, and you'll be all ready to go. Be sure to read mine and neidlinbger's guides as well! Good luck!

Which is why I thanked you. If something is easy there is no need for commendation.
Any luck with the rooting, OP? Do you have to downgrade?
Edit: Just saw that you have the froyo bootloader. Niiice.

OK,
sorry I have been off this site for a while. I can not find a good sticky for me to start.
I tried to use the wiki in cyanogenmod, but some files posted are offline
I can not stand stock froyo

Use gfree method to root your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996
very easy.
Adb is required so here is a link to guide you in the setup:
http://jaxov.com/2010/10/set-up-adb-on-windows-7-vista-xp-for-android-phones/

Thanks,
So yes I ended up doing the gfree method and rooted my phone, flashes CM7on it, but in the end I went back to stock froyo with root acess.
I can not stand the face that the GPS is flaky, I use it alot in my drives.
So whats a good alternative to CM that has good working gps?

Please Help

I was trying to root my phone but now my mytouch 4g is stuck at the splash screen logo. And when I try to revert the changes it says that the main version is older. I'm still able to get to the bootloader. I've tried factory resetting. Please tell me there's something I can do. I just want it to work again.

I have tried that. It just boots and gets stuck on the Mytouch splash screen.

You'll need a newer PD15IMG.zip. Grab the gingerbread version.
