First of all, my phone is the T-Mobile myTouch 3G 1.2 32A with the headphone jack and all that.
So I've been trying to flash new SPLs, radios, ROMs, and recoveries, and I've messed things up. I could use some help because I'm totally lost at this point.
The main issue I'm having now is my phone is hanging on the green myTouch 3G screen. I CAN load into fastboot, however. I've been flashing radios and recoveries, but I can't seem to get the phone to boot.
The current readout at the top of my fastboot looks like this:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-3.22.26.17

I recently flashed the x.26.x radio because I saw some people saying that helped... I think. But I've been using this fastboot commander (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824435) to flash back and forth between the "old" and "new" packages of spl and radios.
Oh yeah, and the recovery I last flashed was titled "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H". Didn't seem to help my issue. Still not able to get into recovery, only fastboot.
I assume since I'm still able to flash radios and such that I'm not totally screwed, so if someone could point me to the correct files or something, that would be much appreciated. At this point, I'd settle for resetting this thing to factory settings. Whatever it takes to make it functional again would be nice.
Please help! Thanks in advance!
Stop what you are doing!
Find and flash the 1.33.0013 or 0013d spl, a 2.22.x radio and they version of amonra recovery from fastboot. Then you sould be back up and running.
These files are easy to find but ill get you links if you have trouble
OK, I've downloaded what seem to be the correct files. I'll try those out, but for right now it seems my battery is too low to continue. I'll let you know if I have any more questions when I try later, though! Thanks for replying!
Well, I tried those files with no luck. Perhaps you could link me to the right ones? Maybe I got it wrong.
Anyway, my fastboot readout now shows:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)

Same issue. I turn the phone on and it hits the green myTouch 3G screen. Then it sits there. I left it for about 20 minutes and there as no change. I'm not sure what could be wrong.

Still can't get into recovery. I'm currently having trouble getting files onto my SD card. I think you can manage files through the fastloader while connected to USB, but I guess I need drivers for that. I can't seem to find those. :/
If I could get that to work, I could try flashing a ROM. The last ROM I had on there was Cyanogen 6, though.
I was able to get access to my SD card through other means, but how do I flash a ROM from fastloader now? I tried putting an update Zip file in the root. Not sure if that's right. :S

Roms are flashed through recovery.
So if you dont have a working recovery or rom then you'll have to restore to stock then re-root
Put this on your sdcard and name it sappimg.zip and pot your phone with volume down + power

Yes, if you have an engineering SPL, which you do not. You'll need to flash a stock ROM.
do not flash an eng spl. Our phones do not run on anything other then stock radio and spl. Also, even though it is a 32a board, only g1 /32b roms and recoveries work.
What happened to you makes no sense unless your leaving something out or tried to flash an ota Rom.
Take battery out, put it back in /hold home and power, should go into recovery. If not, I would say follow my guide in Sig to start over but you'll probably screw up on flashing the radio and spl.
you flashed a wrong radio, man

lol Oops Didnt catch that. HEs right, you have the G1 radio going. Ours should be .12 at the end... I think lol. I havent had to mess with it for a while since Universal Androot works now. But again, you may want to start over if you know what your doing. Otherwise, time to go get a replacement because flashing the radio and spl, your probably going to brick it anyway.

Umm..what?
Your radio/SPL are fine. As for your situation, did you root using the goldcard method? If you did, try doing it over and see if it'll let you into fastboot after loading the engineering sappimg.

Some roms take 10-15 min to boot up so you just gota have patience .
Also, any roms built with a Cyan kernel after 5.0.8 will work on our phones also.
IS the location working on that rom for you?
When it first cam eout I used it for months with no problems.. but then I tried to go back a few days ago and the weather/clock will not find me.
yeah with wifi it picks up my location for the weather just fine

You wont belive it but this f***in ohone has just gone and done the same problem again.....
I was charging it then powered off the device then turned it on after 30mins and its now stuck on the HBOOT screen AGAIN - grrrrrr i cant belive this thing
So now im completey stuck again - if this happens everything i charge this thing then thats not gonna be cool.
Im trying this method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734617 , posted by DonJuan692006
but because the phone cant boot up into the OS adb doesnt see it as list of devices so i cant do the goldcard and start again.....
hmmmm i might throw this thing outta the window
Without a goldcard your not going to be able to go that route. If you've still got your Hero, you can use it to make the goldcard, or any Android powered device for that matter. Maybe just wait it out and see if it just starts working as before?
i have a successful goldcard.img from my Hero will take be ok to use for the Fender you thinks ?
damm-it just tried that and SAPPIMG gives an Incorrect Model ID - because im using the Hero goldcard
damm i dont know what else to try
does anyone have a Fender Goldcard img they would like to share with me - proberly wont work but you never know i might get lucky

First of all, wrong section. Moving to General. Next time your post will be trashed.
Secondly, your not bricked. Please check your definitions.
Third, try flashing the engineering bootloader via goldcard method and then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (Amon_RaG or ClockworkMod for MyTouch/Ion).
Then power off your phone and hold the home button while powering it back on.
You should now have a recovery. From there try flashing the rom again. If it still doesn't appear to be doing anything then do a wipe and reflash.
Thanks for the tips, ill go for that right now.
sorry for the wrong section. Im wouldve put it in the Q&A section if there was one.
EDIT:
The only guide for a goldcard I've found requires a working phone. Mine doesnt work.

Seriously?
myTouch 3G, Magic General
Discussion about the T-Mobile myTouch 3G, HTC Magic (general Q&A, tips & tricks)
Ok Im blind, sorry.
But still have a bricked phone. and if the MT3g section is anything like the HD2 section. the only place to get answers is the DEV section.
Your going to have to find someone with an Android phone (any Android phone will work) to create the goldcard.
No need. If you got adb access you can flash the custom recovery from there (cm 6.1 has the SU and flash_image binaries).
Then simply load the custom recovery and fix your rom/OS (flash a new one or wipe or what ever).
Take a look at my guide (check my signature) and you will find all the steps needed. Just make sure you use G recovery and NOT H.
Good luck hunting!
To add to that, what radio are you using? You only gave us your hboot.

If you put the goldcard in and boot to your bootloader and press the back key it will load your goldcard and flash the engineering spl.

He stated that the rom won't load and he can't load the recovery. His spl is S-ON so from where I sit the goldcard method is his ONLY choice.
If that doesn't work then he's pretty much SOL.

If you have a ****ed spl/radio combo, then all this is for nothing and there are other issues to be fixed first!
Its kinda a difficult situation. I only have adb access for a little while while @ the Cm screen, then it goes away, and Im stuck at the CM screen. I have attemped the goldcard a couple times, but I dont have the correct card, and none of mine seem to work. Wife was shopping, and could only find SanDisk cards, and it didnt work.
Radio is 2.22.23.02
Im gonna attempt anything and everything I can think of to get it to work, but I might have to just run into town and find a damn Kingston card.
SanDisk cards work, got mine sitting in a box in my closet from where I rooted my phone. It may be a procedure that's wrong, not the SD card.
Ok well I managed to get the goldcard made, but when I get into HBOOT, it scans the card and states: no image or wrong image for the sappimg.zip.
file is @ the root of my sdcard, and wont read it, yet when I dont have the goldcard setup, it reads the file just fine. same exact file.

Its not. I've managed to get 2 goldcards succefully made, verified that multiple times, but it just doesnt work. It will not read the file from the SDcard.
I can put the same file on my sdcard from my HD2 and it will read it no problem.
I might play around with it more, but for now, Im calling it a brick.
Just to make sure, have you tried downloading the sappimg file again?

Yea, I've got 3 or 4 different ones on my PC, tried all, none work. It reads the sdcard and just passes it by.
Im really stumped. Followed the goldcard method to a "T" with 4 cards, 2 actually succeed in the proccess, but niether will get the sappimg.zip to read.
After installing the card into the phone and, attempting the Hboot, the HEX gets changed on the card also, just a few values, nothing exteme
IDK if thats normal or what, but it happens.
I don't think it should change anything so that may be your problem. I'm pretty sure I looked at mine after using it and it was the same. Weird.
well last resort, gonna turn my 8gb class 6 sdcard for my HD2 into a goldcard, and check.
after putting the sappimg on the sdcard w/o formating, goldcard or anything, the MT reads the sappimg, and attempts, but gets the error, of course. So im attempting the goldcard right now.
UPDATE:
It worked, got eng SPL on the phone, figured I would just follow CM guide for rooting to verify that it will work. but Im stuck:
# Once it finishes flashing, it should ask you to reboot. Reboot and let it load to the new "htc Magic" boot screen.
# Chances are at this point that the phone will not successfully boot. THIS IS NORMAL. Simply remove and re-insert the battery, as we're not done yet!
# Download the following zip file (the stock myTouch SPL and Radio) and extract it: [1]
# Copy the two files inside the zip to the root of your SD Card
# Take the latest Amon_RA recovery you downloaded earlier and copy it to the root of your SD Card.
# Download terminal emulator from the market and run the following commands:
flash_image flash radio /sdcard/radio.img
flash_image flash hboot /sdcard/hboot_7201A_1.33.0013G_091021.nb0
flash_image flash recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G-cyan.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Items in red are the issue, if the phone doesnt boot, how am I supposed to get into market?
Done and Done! phone is working again. I guess I should've tried my nice sdcard a while ago, but I didnt want to screw it up.
Oh well. Thanks for all the tips and ideas guys!

I had CyanogenMod 6 which became slow so I tried to reboot in recovery while USB was connected it didnt get into recovery mode and after reboot its stuck on CyanogenMod boot logo. When I try home + power it boots without going into recover mode and gets stuck in boot loop of CyanogenMod screen. I kept it on till the battery drained (almost 8 hrs 2-3 times) so dont think its issue with keeping it on for longer time.
So far I have tried all possible spamming.zip and spamming.nbh none of them work either get wrong model ID or update failed. I am not able to log in through ADB. adb devices doesnt show me any devices. But when i try fastboot devices i see my phone. But i can not push anything it says remote not allowed.
I tried goldcard but I cant get to the system files so cant swap the hex digits to create goldcard. I know someone would have a better idea.
Need some help from the experts .. please. Its been more than 2 weeks trying out all possible solutions but no luck.

Simple.... run these commands to establish your current status.
Based on your answers, i can properly asses your situation.
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
fastboot getvar cid
Maybe we can fix this without the use of goldcard.

The best option for you would be to flash the PD15IMG from the hBoot. It will flash the radio you should have along with turning the s-on as long as you didn't use ./gfree to root the phone.

The PD15IMG is the entire stock T-Mobile ROM. You do not need to be rooted or have s-off to flash that.
you are thinking of the radio files. You do not want to flash that.

IIRC you can flash radio files via fastboot but i do not know the commands to do it.

Thanks, I am logging into the IRC chat to see if someone there can help. I appreciate your help, do you know if there may be a guide on how to flash radios via fastboot on any website? i havent been able to locate one
So I was "flashing" a new ROM via ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.07 earlier on my phone, and the battery was near dead, so I decide to plug it in. I didn't bother to think/realize it was plugged into the USB port on my computer, and as I did so, the installation stopped and the phone turned off. I turned it back on, to find the "MyTouch 3G" green splash screen either stuck and the phone eventually turns off, or it loops, and the phone keeps rebooting. I've tried flashing flashing the ROM again and some different ROMS I believe, with no luck. Yes I can get to the recovery screen and I can get to hboot/fastboot. Any direct troubleshooting would be very much appreciated. I don't really care what ROM I have on my phone at the moment, I just need something that works. My old blackberry is missing several keys and the rest barely work, so it would be nice having this one back up and running I've searched other threads and other forums with no luck so far. PS I don't have a Nandroid backup...thought I did, guess not though.

Flash recovery AmonRa 1.7.0G first
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then search 1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d and flash it via
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
You will have
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP30000)
and able to install new 32B roms (for radio 2.22.28.25) via recovery...
p.s. Don't flash anything when battery at 30% or less
Most roms require the new radio and spl that came with the froyo update. You have the radio, but you need the 1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d spl.

Do you have ability to load recovery?
p.s. fastboot commands are locked in hboot 1.33.0013 (1.33.0013d)
yeah I know they were blocked, but I figured out how to access via adb
so I got the proper recovery image on...and flashed CM6, however it's still looping on the MT3G splash screen
Edit: Weird - I tried the 5.0.8-DS and it worked. I appreciate your help..any clue why 6 don't work?

May be need special kernel for radio 2.22.28.25? What requirements for CM6?
Not sure, but it says I'm running 6.1 now. And I downgraded my radio to 2.22.23.02.

Ezterry released a different cm6 for people that had problems with the first one, I think it was a kernel issue
