stuck on mytouch splash screen

I followed the gold card procedure on theunlockr.com because I got the Main version older error for MT3G. So I made the gold card and did everything down to step 28, applying the Hboot img file as update.zip and once I did it I pressed home and back and now gets stuck on the green mytouch splash screen and does Nothing!I even tried wipe before I loaded the update.zip(Rom-RAv1.1.0H-signed-update), and i aslos tried erasing it off my sdcard then reloading it and still nothing. I can apply it but once I reboot Im stuck at the mytouch screen.I can still boot into fastboot and recovery. Can anybody help me.

just go to the recovery and flash the death spl and the required radio (in my sig) make sure you flash the radio first and then the death spl. If you already have the radio then just flash the spl. (to check radio and spl just boot into fastboot and it should say it near the top.) hboot = spl.
Then flash a ROM like super d or dwang or flash the defang base then flash cyanogen mode.
It should boot up perfectly fine now.

Confusion of 32A or 32B while rooting HTC Magic

Dear users,
I wanted to root HTC Magic with the following helpful tutorial.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how-to-root-the-htc-magic-in-one-click/
However, I faced a problem about the motherboard version. When I check the motherboard version as tutorial suggested, I saw that it is 32B. However, Recovery Flasher app claims that it is EBI1/32A and it does not allow to flash the recovery image of 32B.
On the other hand, when I checked /proc/meminfo file, it says that
MemTotal: 99708 kB
MemFree: 12068 kB
which is 32B as suggested by Amon_Ra
So, I am confused. Could you please tell me which recovery image should I use? A small background information, I bricked the phone before with rooting procedure by the same reason and gave it back and got it refurbished. So, I am not sure but the motherboard information recorded somewhere else may mislead the Recovery Flasher application.
Thank you,
Omer

Which version of the recovery you should use is dictated by the version of your radio, not motherboard.
2.xx.xx.xx - G version
3.22.xx.xx - H version
hope it helps!

Thank you for the reply. I checked the radio version and it was 3.22.xx.xx. So, I tried the HTC version. However; The recovery manager didn't let me flash with this image. I think, I have the same situation as this post has
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=680793
But, I didn't yet root my device.
Thank you,
Omer

What exactly spl do you have?
Turn off, then turn on by pressing Back + Power, post first 5 strings.
If you have 1.33.2010 S-OFF you can revert back to radio 2.22.XX.XX

This is the 5 lines.

Thank you for your help.

Since you have s-off already, just download 1.33.2005 SPL and do
fastboot flash hboot 1.33.2005
and
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Wrong forum by the way dude

But before flashing SPL, shouldn't I flash radio? Sorry to ask newbie questions but I am really lost and I don't want to brick the device.
By the way, My device is HTC Sapphire aka HTC Magic. That's why; I wrote in here. Is it wrong?
Thanks.

You have 2 methods to restore 32B radio and hboot and get ability to flash 32B-roms
Method 1.
As you wrote - you have S-OFF, so fastboot commands are allowed
You can simply run
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader
where:
radio.img - radio 2.22.19.26I

Unpack it from archive
recovery.img - Amon_RA Sapphire recovery 1.6.2 G version
Important: flash radio then hboot. Don't reboot after flashing only radio.
Method 2. You can use rom.nbh from official update for 32B Magics:
create goldcard
unpack rom.nbh and rename to sappimg.nbh, copy it to goldcard
flash in hboot-mode (VolumeDown + Power)
You will get 1.33.0007 perfected SPL, so you must root device next
But one thing... you have S-OFF - may be you have engineering device - so you can use fastboot commans always - it makes flash-process very easy)

5 thank you for the instructions. This is what i was looking for. If any other experienced user confirms it might work, i would like to take the risks and do the instructions then share the results.
Experienced users, what do you think?

S-OFF - it is hboot without security. It means, that everyone can use fastboot commands without any warnings.
Magics have S-OFF, if it developer or engineering device OR if hboot patched by someone
There are some patched (engineering) hboots for Magics, but not for [MT3G 1.2]
In manual to root patched hboot is using, but if you stay with it - touchscreen does not work. Don't know why.

Thanks 5. I believe I'm good now, just have to be patient and await the arrival of new ROMS for my MT3G 1.2
Appreciate all your assistance in helping understand better about my phone.

First of all, wrong section. Moving to General.
Secondly, have you tried using a 1.7.0H recovery?
Third, you cannot fastboot anything because you need an engineering SPL. You see that S-ON? It needs to say S-OFF to flash anything by fastboot. I suggest reading instructions carefully before proceeding.

you need the 1.76.2007 eng spl.

Since you have no system nor recovery you only option is a goldcard.
Just make sure that you use the right one!
Looking at the fastboot info you provided, you should use the H version of the custom recovery!

Just to make sure.
I already have the goldcard. Now I have to put the hboot-1.76.2007.img into it and update SPL.
After that I will be able to use fastboot command line and install Recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img to it.
From there I will be able to install a rom.
Those are the steps:
- Copy hboot-1.76.2007.img to goldcard renaming it to sappimg.nbh;
- HBOOT with the goldcard in it;
This will change my SPL to 1.76.2007 ENG S-OFF
- Shutdown;
- Copy Recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img to a spare card;
- Enter on fastboot mode;
- fastboot recovery Recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img;
- Reboot;
- Enter in recovery mode (home+power)
- Install a new room.
Is that right?
After that I will get:

[Q] can't find perfect SPL 32B

I wanted to get my magic S-OFF in order to flash a splash using fastboot, so I flashed to hboot 1.33.2010.
but now my phone is stuck at the bootscreen.
I want to revert my Hboot to it's stock, perfect SPL version but I can't find this anywhere. Most SPL's I find here are engineer versions with S-OFF.
additional information
after flashing spl:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP10000)
recovery: recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G-cyan
before flasing this current spl it used to be:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP10000)
and this is what I want to restore it to. can anyone tell how to and where I can get this perfect SPL to flash it with my current recovery?

OMG, how teach users to read moreeeeeee?
Why did you flash hboot if i adviced you to flash custom ROM via custom recovery in previous topic?
Do you know that hboot 1.33.2010 for Magic 32A in general?
If you don't want get a brick - write full 5 rows of SPL-info (not only version of hboot)

I'm reading as much as I can untill I get headaches
and I did flash a custom ROM through recovery. but I wanted to get a different splash cause I'm sick of that ugly vodafone version so I changed SPL to get S-OFF for fastboot flashing.
and no, I didn't know 2010 is 32A only, guess I found out the hard way. I got this one cause it mentioned a .28.25 radio version so I assumed it right for my 32B. So I guess I did read all neccesary stuff, but I misjudged the 2010 SPL by the noted radio version.
anyway, as you asked the following information (assuming this is what you're after)

1. Configure Android SDK Tools to operate fastboot.exe (utility is in Platform-tools package)
2. Search for hboot 1.33.0013d (or 1.33.0013) and unpack it if it in archive (you need .img file)
3. If you already flashed Amon Ra 1.7.0 G skip this step, if not search for recovery (1.7.0 G is compatible with radio 2.22.28.25)
4. Cause you have engineering hboot, you can simply reflash to compatible hboot
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
5. Run this command to reload
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
6. You can flash custom ROM via recovery now (turn phone off then turn on by pressing Home + Power)

tnx for the help so far
@ mumilover
I flashed that SPL but I'm still stuck on bootscreen. I considered it being a faulty ROM after the SPL mess so I superwiped twice, wiped Dalvik-cache and reinstalled the Yoshi Froyo MM1 ROM, but the problem persists.

Does SDK platform-tools house SPL/hboot images? if so I can't find them.
a side not; I managed to change my splash screen (wich caused the whole mess ) Don't suppose that's causing the bootstuck problem?

Yes. This is right thread and it contains 1.33.0013d (as i adviced)
1.33.0013d is compatible with 2.22.27.08 and 2.22.28.25, so don't worry
About platform-tools - you need working fastboot.exe utility, to do flash
Your main problem is that you have hboot/radio mismatch. Even you on 1.33.2005 - you are not able to use Yoshi ROM.
Your goal:

These hboot and radio are fully compatible with Ginger Yoshi or ezGingerbread.

do you want me to specifically use fastboot to flash? I can use my custom recovery aswell, it still works like a charm.
I indeed want the SPL configuration you listed as my goal. Only the hboot I'm about the flash (1.33.0013d) will be with radio version 2.22.27.08.
are Yoshi ROM or stock ROM compatible with that radio? I made a nand backup of stock ROM just in case

recovery: remained intact: Amon-RA v1.7.0G
ROM: Yoshi MOD MM1
First I flashed the radio, wich actually wasn't neccesary cause it remained the same. Then I flashed the hboot.
Good to know for other ppl, I flashed the images only, so not the zip. I flashed the hboot as last cause it disables fastboot flash method.
Then I booted to recovery, superwiped, factory reset-wipe, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik-cache, reboot to recovery and flashed Yoshi MOD.
al works good again. The best part is, I got my custom splash screen but I think there are more subtle methods to accomplish it. I guess you wouldn't want to get S-OFF unless is absolutely neccesary.
Tnx 5[strogino] for the help, I apreciate it.

[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.
