can no longer boot into recovery

I have a rooted unlocked Magic 32b and have flashed many roms on it but it has suudenly stopped booting into recovery.
If i hold power and home it now just hangs on vodafone splash screen.
any ideas?

if you have an engineering SPL installed on the phone, you can use fastboot from the SDK to flash a new recovery image (assuming you can still get into fastboot mode on the phone)

Or you can go to Android Market and download ROM Manager & flash recovery through that application (both ClockWorkMod & Amon_RA supported). If the first flash fails don't worry just reflash the same recovery (2nd flash works every time)

Thanks for the help, I reflashed AMon-Ra recovery via fastboot and all is well.

I'm having exactly the same problem.
Think I flashed the 32a instead of 32b onto the magic uk vodafone device:

Could you link to the recovery you managed to flash your phone using please? I've tried loads of versions via adb/flashboot and none work sadly.
Hoping I don't have to buy another phone

I have similar issue to original poster, I've flashed many roms over the last year and all have been fine until now
VOLDN+POWER, HOME+POWER, BACK+POWER are all no go.. all stuck on bootloader splash. Can someone confirm I've finally bricked my 32B?
Last SPL i put on was 1.76.2007 i think (cant confirm no fastboot..) radio was 2.22.19.26I

[Q] HTC Magic 32B, messed up recovery, then everything else

Hello,
my magic is in really bad shape after some bad decisions:
After wiping and flashing Yoshi's Gingerbread 7.1 the phone started to reboot itself randomly. It worked perfectly with previous versions of this rom. Reading the forums some people said it had to do with the recovery and how some didn't wipe certain partitions, and recomended to use Clockwork recovery instead. Here's the first bad decision, I was lazy and used the market app to flash it (rom manager?), and since then I couldn't boot into recovery any more.
Now, after wiping every partition I can't use adb, and being unable to flash anything with fastboot ("FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)"), what can I do?
With fastboot boot recovery it freezes in "booting...". I also tried flashing the recovery through terminal emulator, didn't work (throwed lot of hex addresses).

Thanks for your time!

Solved.
Used HTC's RUU. The phone's back to stock conditions. Will be rooting and doing everything else again soon.

Hi,
Would you be able to elaborate on where you download the RUU and how you used it to fix the problem? I've got a similar situation, my phone bootloops, the recovery is inoperable, but I can get into hboot. Thanks!

Hi,
You cand download the RUU from here:
http://www.htc.com/es/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=246&cat=2&dl_id=882
The install process is very simple. You only need to turn on the phone on fastboot mode and execute the .exe (on a Windows machine).
Regards

Do you know if this will be compatible with my phone and its current setup?
Here's my info from hboot

It's a T-Mobile Mytouch 3g.
Thanks!

I'm not sure, I'd say not being this for vodafone. I have no clue how that would affect the mytouch. Maybe there is a RUU for the t-mobile version?

Help, Reboot loop trying to install CM6 Mytouch3G

I am trying to install Cyanogenmod using the tutorial here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Magic_(32B):_Rooting and the device can never boot.
This is a MyTouch3g 32b that was previously running the original firmware. I was able to downgrade to firmware 1.5 and get Amon_Ra 1.7.0G installed fine.
I downloaded update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip and copied to the SDcard. I rebooted into recovery and wiped everything before installing that zip. Now it boots to the Cyanogenmod logo which spins for a while then freezes and repeats the whole thing again.
How should I proceed?
edit:
While trying to troubleshoot I found another page on the wiki that said I needed the updated radio so I installed 2.22.23.02 from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640535
It didn't change anything.

That is weird. Please post full spl-info (turn phone off, then turn on by pressing back + power)

The screen reads -

It is now stuck on the initial "Mytouch 3g" screen
I have no downgraded to

Confusing a little..
What SPL-info is current now?

i'm having a similar issue. i'm trying to get cm6 on this phone for a friend. i rooted with super1click, flashed recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G and i can get into recovery fine. i made a nand backup, flashed cm6 and it won't boot. stuck at htc slash. i had to nand restore. do i need s-off to flash a rom or flash kernel thru fastboot or something? i have not changed the spl yet for lack of really knowing what i need to do. there is little info about whether i need to mess with that to flash cm6.

I am not Magic 32b's owner, but it seems like CM6 is not compatible with hboot 1.33.0013 / radio 2.22.28.25
Try to check compatible Rom (ex. gingeryoshi or something else). Look at Htc Dream Development forum. There are some actual Roms. Htc Dream and Magic 32b have same hardware level and custom Roms (but NOT official)
I am not advising change spl (hboot/radio combo), cause hboot 1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d are last hboots for Magic 32b and developers make roms compatible with these hboots.

Wrong recovery?

Hello all,
My magic data is:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.0009 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.08.29
DEC 8 2009,17:38:48
and it's only running 1.5.
In the pass some guys had unlock the phone and when I go to Recovery mode it shows the recovery RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H but it freezes.
I think I know how to upgrade to a CM version (downgrade to 1.07.008, new recovery, SPL Engeneerings) but I'm a little afraid because I don't now what it was done during the unlock.
What should I do?
Can someone please help me?

Try to get root by SuperOneClick
Then flash one recovery
AmonRa 1.6.2 patched by cursordroid or AmonRa HTC Hero recovery latest
cause they are compatible with radio 6.35.XX.XX
Other recoveries (like 1.7.0 H or 1.7.0 G or ClockworkMod recovery) are NOT compatible...
p.s. Getting ENG S-OFF - good thing. On Magic32A it is easy...

[Q] Cannot flash custom ROM, what am I doing wrong?

I decided to use my old HTC Magic as a second phone, but I realised that 1,5 is too old. So I thought I should root it and flash a custom recovery and ROM, how difficult can it be, right?
The phone is a black Magic without the 3,5 jack. I believe it's unbranded, the splashscreen is HTC.
Info before doing anything on it:
PVT 32B SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT 1.33.0010 (SAPP 10000)
CPLD - 7
RADIO 3.22.20.17
I found out that the HBOOT is a "perfected" SPL, so I followed a guide with the goldcard to flash a stock ROM with another SPL.
Info after that:
PVT 32B SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT 1.33.0009 (SAPP 10000)
CPLD - 7
RADIO 3.22.20.17
I also followed the guide in this forum to root the device and flash an eng SPL. now the SPL is 1.33.2010.
Amon_RA's recovery did not work for me, the home button (for confirmation) is not working in recovery. Instead, I flashed Clockwork recovery and I was able to have full functionality in recovery mode.
Now I am trying to install a custom ROM. Most links are broken, so I went with what was available: Cyanogen 5.0.7 final with GAPPS and Cyanogen 6.1.
The problem is that both ROM's I tried will install successfully, but when I reboot the phone it will just hang on the HTC logo.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance.

A lot of frustration accompanied by the fear of bricking the phone results in a great deal of stupidity...
I hadn't flashed a kernel.
Please mark this as solved.
