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

Sapphire unable to boot rom+recovery (Solved)

Hi,
Something went wrong while flashing a new recovery image now i am unable to enter the recovery the phone just stays in the splash screen. When i try a normal boot its the same problem just the splash screen..
I can enter fastboot but i dont have an engineering SPL on it, what are my options ?
Details:
PVT 32B S-ON
HBOOT-1.33.0004 (SAPP10000)
RADIO-2.22.19.261
When i try to fastboot a new recovery image it says "permission denied" i think that this is because of the non engineering SPL ?
ps. Phone is rooted a long time ago, never had any problem flashing.
SOLVED
I booted amons recovery true fastboot and overwrite the wrong recovery image, then i flashed a good rom..so the phone is alive again.

[Q] Help. I have problem with 32b. Stuck on image.

Hello.
I have a Htc Vodafone Magic, de version.
A few days ago i rooted and install cyanogen 5.0.7 and the i've upgraded to 5.0.8.
I used titanium backup, made a backup, and then i need it to restore. After that i couldn't use the phone.
Then i inserted the goldcard made it earlyer, where i had the rom, and update it.
It was a rom 5.0.7 with no app and no android market, and no root.
Now started in fast boot (vol down + power) and i have :
sapphire pvt 32b eng s-off H
Hboot-1.33.2010 (SAPP10000)
cpld-10
radio3.22.20.17
jun 2 2009, 17:27:03.
When i try to instal a rom it said that he cannot find any rom.
I used the link [How-To] Root and un-root the T-Mobile myTouch 3G
to revert to 32b since i so that i have 32b eng s-off H and i thought that is the problem.
i used this commands
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
It did not work.
No the phone starts and locks on the image with HTC MAGIC.
Thank you for your help.
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RAv1.2.0G.img

No the phone starts and locks on the image with HTC MAGIC.
when the phone stats with usb in it appears fastboot on a red background.
And i cannot use adb commands.
It is bricked?
the fastboot option works. i send recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G thru fastboot and the message was okay.

I think you can download radio 2.22.23.02 as zip file, put it on root of memory card, boot to recovery mode, apply this zip. Everything will be OK.
I flashed it 2 days ago for udating for my Magic radio version from 2.22.19.26I.
You can find the file on this room or I will attach it later.

thank.
i used Revert to 32B Radio and ROM procedure and made it.

Android system recovery <2>
Build: CyanogenMod v1.4 + JF
Tried to flash Cyanogen 6 Stable image (update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip ) using apply sdcard:update.zip Said was successful but hangs on vodafone splash screen at start-up. I was watching a how to video on theunlockr.com at the time which said to wipe data/factory reset prior to flashing the rom but it neglected to tell me to backup first. does this look like a problem with the 6.1 rom I've flashed or something else?

Just wipe everything from recovery and flash the rom once again. You should be ok.
You will also lose all your info and apps.

Why are you flashing through sdcard:update.zip use apply zip from sdcard

I did a wipe/factory reset after that and re-flashed the same ROM but it still hung on start-up. I'll try and use the apply any zip from sdcard and see if that works as suggested by danthepan124. If that doesn't work could I change the recovery image to AMON-RA as recommended by cyanogenmod wiki? Would that make a difference? Is there a way I can start a fresh with HBOOT and Recovery images that are known to work?

ok, have just wiped and re-flashed cyanogen 6.1.0 and no changes, still hangs on Vodafone Splash screen and have to remove battery to turn off. I've wiped again and rebooted then flashed the other Cyanogen 4 (update-cm-4.2.15.1-signed.zip) and 5 (update-cm-5.0.8-DS-signed.zip) ROM for the HTC magic and the v5 ROM hangs at splash also whereas the v4 goes through to a black screen that looks staticy then eventually fades to black. Do i need to flash with a new recovery image like AMON-RA?, will that make a difference? How do i change the recovery image when i dont have access to Terminal, only hboot and current cyanogenmod v1.4 recovery image?

Wow, I knew i liked reading manuals and diagrams but these instructions are really difficult to follow as they jump around so much. Anyway I have followed all successfully but still have a phone hanging on the splash screen.
I googled ezterry's sapphire 32b instructions
As i didn't have the 2.22.27.08 Radio or HBOOT 1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d I followed ezterry's 32B post here which in turn referred me to this post as I still had my stock 1.33.0007 SPL.
So i copied update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2009-signed.zip to my card and flashed that, the phone rebooted afterwards so i put it in fastboot usb then followed ezterry's instructions for fastboot flash the recovery, radio and spl as recommended
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0-cyan.img
fastboot flash radio radio-2.22.27.08.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.0013d.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
this all went well and showed the updated radio and SPL on the hboot screen so I then wiped the system
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
and then going back to ezterry's original post followed Step 6 to Flash update-cm-6.1.0-RC1-DS-2708port_S.zip, the Step 7 to Flash GAPPS tiny, the Step 8 Reboot and enjoy my ROM but NO JOY! still hanging on vodafone splash.
Then as per ezterry's Help it won't boot section, ive
fastboot erase system then reflashed update-cm-6.1.0-RC1-DS-2708port_S.zip - still hung
fastboot erase system -w then reflashed update-cm-6.1.0-RC1-DS-2708port_S.zip - still hung
fastboot erase system -w then flashed cyanogenmod's 6.1 stable ROm update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip - still hung
At least now i have the 1.70 AMON-RA recovery as recommended in the cyanogenmod 32b instructions so i am feeling more comfortable about it all but haven't progressed very much.
One thing to note that I can remember for the beginning is the original instructions to root mentioned to downgrade to 1.5. I remembered trying that and it said some like incompatible image which I assumed was because i was already running 1.5 as stock, but as I've got this far I'm guessing it didn't matter as it appears i do in fact have root.

just ran fastboot commander v1.51 again and enclose the output showing updated SPL and radio

Flash the 1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d spl. Most roms want that now

thank you so much my friend
i tried to restore my phone with SAPPIMG_Sapphire_TMUS_1.88.531.1_COC10_release_signed
after that i rooted it with flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2
then i flashed this spl "update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2010-signed"
and flashed Gios_OTA_Froyo-2.0 ROM
it work like charm
but when i started another ROM it stuck again in boot loop
so my friend did you think it will need the spl you told me about "1.33.0013"to get out of boot loop and i think i'll flash the engineering one wright?
i tried to download 1.33.0013 but no luck could you send me the link?
thank you again for your help!

this is the only link i found about 1.33.0013
