Amon_RA recovery image doesn't boot

Hi,
I follow HTC Sapphire Hacking (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking#sec01) to boot a recover flash in fastboot. The recovery image I got from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492. And, I actually tried recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img and recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G-cyan.img. But every time after I typed:
$ fastboot boot image-name.img,
it seems it success in downloading and booting, and the result is:
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY [ 1.688s]
booting... OKAY [ 0.000s]
finished. total time: 1.688s
but I saw my phone halt forever in the first logo screen (The white HTC Magic text on the dark screen). Then I have to remove the battery to get it back to normal.
Is there anything wrong with my process?
Below is my phone info:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H

Please kindly help.

First of all, wrong section. Unless you are DEVELOPING something you do NOT start a post in DEVELOPMENT. Moved to General Q&A.
Secondly, give us ALL of the information on your device type:

Today I also tried to use "flash recover image.img" rather "flash boot image.img", but the result was still the same: sending and writing success but booting did not, only stall in the "HTC Magic" log screen.

Thanks in advance for your kindly help.

It's strange! After I failed many times with different *G.img files, I eventually decided to try the v1.7.0H.img which is designed for 32A phones according to my understanding. But this time I succeeded! You know, in the HBOOT screen, it prints that the phone is PVT 32B. Can anyone explain this?
And, in the future when I go to burn a new ROM (it's my true purpose and why I am here), I will be confused in which ROM I should pick up since the ROM also depends on 32A or 32B

Please Help!! MyTouch 3g v1.2 will semi boot but then a black screen

My mytouch 3g v1.2 with the 3.5mm headphone jack will not boot up.

Tried to search for an answer but couldnt find any
I tried to install the Sappimg.zip update/restore and heres what happened
when I boot into Hboot it just says
SD Checking...
Loading...[SAPPDIAG.zip]
No Image!
Loading...[SAPPDIA3.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[SAPPDIA2.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[SAPPDIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[SAPPIMG.zip]
Then a blue loading bar pops up and starts going up till it reaches the top.
No prompt at all to tell me to update or anything
After that it says "Checking..[SAPPIMG.zip]"
Still....nothing after that
So I tried to restart the phone and i got the MyTouch 3g splash screen then the display goes black but the backlight remains on for some reason...
Did i brick it? Or is it fixable?

[Q] Soft brick bell Desire?

I have a Bell Desire Z I got from a friend, its stuck at the HTC screen but lets me into the bootloader. I extracted the Rom.zip from the latest Bell ruu I could find, it looks like its flashing okay but nothing changes, it still won't boot. I tried flashing a tmobile image but I get an error saying "model id incorrect" here's what I'm looking at:

Is there anything I can do to fix this? I've tried searching the forums and nothing I've tried works.

Have you tried the factory reset option in HBOOT?

Yeah, it didn't make any change, it just sits at that white HTC screen forever..

[Q] mytouch 4g stuck on splash/hboot screen

Hello all,
Been reading thru the forums but haven't yet come across something that I may be able to use.
Well, yesterday my phone started updating 12 programs... battery ran out, and it shut down. I got home, charged it and turned it on, everything was ok. I went to read a text message and boom it shut down on me.
Now, when I hit the power button, it goes and stays on the MyTouch 4G splash screen. Or I can go into the Hboot screen.
Factory reset doesn't do anything
Recovery doesn't do anything
Please let me know what I need to do to either rooting it/flashing a new rom, or recovering/flashing back the factory rom on the phone.
Thanks in advance!
Here is what the HBOOT screen says:

Edit: Would like to add that I have not flashed anything to this phone.
When loading Bootloader, while checking the files this is what is displayed (for less than a second):
SD Checking...

check clockwork and see if you're getting the recovery.log error.
If you are follow the instructions here:

Worked like a charm for me.

Thanks for the input guys, much appreciated.
Like I had said earlier, since I have not rooted or flashed the phone, I went ahead and called T-mobile and got them to replace my phone!
Hint: Don't believe store employees, they're crackheads! There's a reason why T-mo phone customer service is ranked pretty high!
EDIT: They did send me to tech support, but because the phone won't even boot or respond to hardware reset, it was an easy process.

[Q] HTC Glacier stuck in bootloop/continuous reboot, can only access HBOOT

Hello, my HTC Glacier has been stuck in bootloop and the only thing I can access is the HBOOT.
I tried the following:
1. Unplugged the battery leave if for a minute or two, then plug it back in.
2. Unplugged the SD Card while rebooting.
3. Rebooting through HBOOT
These steps above didn't make a difference.
When I entered HBOOT I also received the following message:
SD Checking...
Loading... [PD15DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading... [PD15DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading... [PD15IMG.zip]
No image!
Loading... [PD15IMG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading... [nv.img]
I had some instances where I was able to get out of bootloop, but when I tried to enter recovery mode by rebooting the phone then I get stuck in the bootloop again.
The bootloop often happens when:
1. Connecting my phone to a USB port (mac)
2. Connecting my phone to a car charger
Thank you so much for any assistance/help that you can provide.

It sounds like you may have the PD15IMG file on your SD card. If that is what you are trying to do, it may be a bad download. If not, delete it off of your SD Card or make a folder for it. And if it is not on there at all...well I don't know what to tell you on that.

Just now I unplugged the SD card and when I entered HBOOT, I no longer receive this message:
SD Checking...
Loading... [PD15DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading... [PD15DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading... [PD15IMG.zip]
No image!
Loading... [PD15IMG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading... [nv.img]
But when I tried to enter the Recover or reboot it from HBOOT, I got stuck in the booloop again.

Download full stock PD15IMG.ZIP
Put on SD card
Reboot to bootloader
It'll ask you to update
Allow update
If everything is ok - you get the stock ROM back
If something isn't ok - your phone is dead
The procedure has been documented and explained multiple times, searching the forum with the right terms will help you find everything you need to either restore your phone or determine that it's done. Exactly the same thread with exactly the same question is currently on the first page of the forum.

also agree w/ jack.... read the dev forums... resource bible in dev forum
I truly believe a phone could never be bricked with all the awesome info in the dev forum.... first .... LEARN ADB! and use it to install the latest CW recovery on your phone... next boot into recovery... volume down plus power at the same time.... choose recovery..... when you get to recovery... should be orange... wipe everything... factory wipe... cache wipe... go to advanced wipe dalvik and battery stats... go back and look for mounts and then format everything... cache, data, sdcard, system.... then plug in your usb cable to your computer and copy whatever rom you would like... i prefer doing footballs 2.2.1... that way i can re-root... ***make sure the rom is "PD15IMG.IMG"... then unmount.... go back a few in recovery until you see power down... then power down... pull battery... replace battery..... power into bootloader ( volume down and power button at the same time ) then sit back and let it do its magic... when it asks you to update... select yes.... let it do its thing..... that's it..... no more bricked phone..... enjoy and re-root.... but seriously..... read all the info in the dev section.... lots of really good stuff!

The link to guide for solving bootlooping/freezing MT4G or determining its death (and unluckily, most of those WILL be terminal cases and the phone WILL be determined as dead beyond any repair), is now in MyTouch 4G Wiki, under "Troubleshooting". The link to (updated and sorted) Wiki is in my signature.

corrupt pd15img files?????????
Hello,
I am having a similar problem. I have an htc glacier (mt4g) and it is stuck on the reboot cycle. The phone will go to either fastboot or hboot but I cannot navigate with the volume up or down to choose any options. The phone goes to the bootloader screen and it will load the PD15IMG file and then asks if I want to update and I can press up volume to start the update. When it finishes it gives me the error main version is older. I tried with another file from a different source and it runs through the update and then says to press the power button to restart and then shuts off and opens back up to the boatloader screen. Is it the file that is the problem or something else all together.
On the bootloader screen it says:
glacier pvt ship s-on
hboot 0.89.006
microp 0429
radio 26.13.04.19_m
emmc-boot
jul 15 2011 16:45:17
also when doing the update the phone skips over #7 tp is that a problem? Please help if you have any knowledge of what seems to be the problem.
