Damn, I hate members like you.
a) You don't even tell us what you did wrong
b) What does this have ANYTHING TO DO TO BELONG IN THE MAGIC DEVELOPMENT?
I am sorry that I did not mention the whole story.
Where should I post this message to? myTouch 3G, Magic General?
I am using "Super-Hero (Build By AhmgskMod)" before came into this situation, I found that the phone can boot, and looping in the htc Magic screen.
Show I tried to wipe and flash the rom again. I flashed the rom for 5-6 times, but it still won't boot..
At the last one I tried to flash another rom from XDA, I found the sdcard can't mount in recovery mode. And I go to fastboot mode, S-ON is observed.
I flash my phone with sappimg.zip in hboot mode (Sdcard file can be loaded). Now I am with the rom in (RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_304401), but the sdcard is not mounted after I boot up my phone.
I believe that this issue is due to the S-ON hboot, I am finding some way to flash the hboot again (I tried -- fastboot NOT OK, recovery can't mount sd)
Seek for help. Thank you very much.

u still hav hero recovery??? ( custom recovery)
Yes, I have the hero recovery (custom), I flash in by boot the hero recovery in fastboot, and flash using:
adb push recovery.img /
adb shell flash_image recovery /recovery.img
The problem is I cannot access to sdcard in recovery mode, also can't use the sdcard when I boot up the phone.
Updated: I copy the rom.zip and rom1.zip from RUU update. The rom.zip container radio and hboot. Should I flash the rom.zip in hboot, to recovery the radio and hboot?
s-on + no sd card.
This problem seems to be experienced by many people in the process of upgrading to the new radio. I have experienced it myself and i never managed to solve it. Luckily i manafed to get a replacement phone. I am still afraid of upgrading the radio on my new device in fact. I think that this seems to be a common problem which deserves to be given more attention by the devs. I. Believe there were a couple of people on the forum who managed to fix it but they are few and far between.
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
There's been quite a few SD card problem forum threads. Try harder next time.
xaueious, Thank you very much! Now I can access the sdcard! I will try harder to search in forum before asking question next time.
And thank you for the support of everyone in this post too.
This command was not recognized by the phone in my case. It's not always that simple to solve. It would be better to know what causes it in the first place so that people can avoid it.

Now I can use the rom in (RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_304401), I use hboot mode and flash the rom1.zip from the captioned rom (renamed to sappimg.zip)
But I can't start any custom rom for new radio from XDA here (installed in recovery mode, update from zip). It just stuck at the htc Magic screen, can't boot into phone.
My SPL/Hboot is still 1.76.2007 S-ON. I have tried flash the "update-hboot-1762007-signed.zip" in recovery mode, but the Hboot is still S-ON.
I believe the problem is due to the S-ON Hboot, so I can't start any custom rom. Any way I can turn the Hboot to S-OFF?
Thank you!
Update to Amon_RA's newest hero recovery. You should be able to mount your SD card in that.
Thank you sindrefyrn. I updated to the latest RA hero recovery.
I can mount sdcard with hero recovery 1.5.3.1 too.
But problem is I can't boot my phone with custom rom, only stock rom will work.
My ENG SPL 1.76.2007 is S-ON instead of S-OFF.
I will tried to flash the RUU update to replace my existing radio and SPL tomorrow, my home PC using win7 and can't verify my phone while RUU update, I will tried it tomorrow in office with winXP.
Hope it works, will report here.

You can flash a RUU with higher manversion then your previous ROM.
I often find that when I go into recovery my sdcard is not mounted. The solution (for me) is to:
adb shell
mount /sdcard
exit
And that's it.
No idea why the sdcard is mounted sometimes but not other times though

Is that mean I can't downgrade my SPL and radio?
I can't use fastboot to flash my SPL and radio, because S-ON SPL not allow me to do so.
Could I copy the rom.zip from RUU which contain SPL and radio, then renamed it to sappimg.zip and flash in Hboot mode?
The only thing I want to do is change my SPL back to S-OFF. What can I do?
Thank you for your help.
update: Is there any SPL.zip I can use to flash my SPL in recovery mode?
update 2: I tried flash the ENG SPL 2007.zip in recovery mode, but it can't change my SPL back to S-OFF. Is it because the SPL are in same version, so, I am not upgrading my SPL by this action?

No reason you can't downgrade your SPL and radio that way, as long as the mainver of the RUU you're flashing is newer than your current.

Yes, that's possible. However, the mainver still needs to be higher than your current.

That only works with the 1.76.xxxx SPL, which he has.
From personal experience, I can tell you that I screwed my phone up by flashing hboot and radio in the wrong order.. Ultimately, it prevented me from flashing the Hero recovery... So basically, I was stuck with new SPL/Radio with Sapphire recovery for a while. But here is where things got worst: I attempted to flash BACK to the OLD SPL/Radio, which worked. However, somewhere along the way enableqxdm(1.76.x only) was turned ON, and stayed on. The only thing I was able to do was go back to the stock Rogers RUU (old radio), but left with no SD card which really sucks. When Sense was released for Rogers, I flashed the new ROM and Radio (via USB) and turned enableqxdm off. All fixed at the cost of being rooted
littlestrong; which ROMs are you trying to flash? There could be a really simple explanation as to why they don't work.
1. Did you WIPE data/dalvik/ext before flashing? <- this is pretty important
2. Flash a ROM specific to the new radio?
And if you're trying to reflash your radio and SPL, what errors do you get?
sindrefyrn:
I have tried update your SPL 1.76.2007 from recovery. It remain S-ON afterward.
So, I downgrade my SPL to 1.76.0007 and raido 6.35.07.xx from HK stock sense rom (Hboot mode -> sappimg.zip). The SPL and radio are successful downgraded. Then, I flash the SPL the 1.76.2007 in recovery. No luck.. SPL has been upgraded to 1.76.2007, but it is still S-ON..
pyee0124:
I flash all roms below with full wipe (all 5 wipes in recovery), they all are for new radio:
--[ROM][32A][6.35] SenseUI 2.1 based on DROID Eris dump. Both v01 and v02.
--Super-Hero (Build By AhmgskMod) [Based On Eris Dump].
--Eclair AME [Android 2.1] MADE BY ME [Only For New Radio] [28th Feb]
I also restore a nandroid backup which it was backup with Eclair AME rom, when my phone in good condition.
All the above roms can't boot up, all stop at htc Magic screen..
I search this forum and found 2 topics about making ENG SPL to S-OFF from S-ON.
1. Flash the nandroid backup boot.img file to the phone, might be one of them will make the SPL to be S-OFF.
2. Remove the battery for a couple of day, and leave the phone as it is .The phone might change to S-OFF itself.
Another problem, I can't flash my magic in RUU. ERROR 170 was found both in XP and win7. I tested it in computer with and without htc sync. I have install proper driver.
I have one more question, I can flash custom rom for new radio here in recovery mode. But all 3 roms I had tried won't boot up and stuck in htc Magic screen. Can anyone flash custom rom with S-ON SPL and found no problem in boot??
You should still be able to flash custom ROMS regardless of S-ON. One of the other things you should try is formatting your SD card again.. Try a full FAT32, then try partitioning afterwards. I found that I could only boot Ahmgsk with FAT32/Swap/Ext2.
pyee0124: I have flashed the [ROM][32A] CursorSense32A-1.2.6.1, it can boot up with my S-ON SPL.
I will test flashing others rom and see if I can use Android 2.1.
Bare with me this is my first thread :
Mytouch 1.2 doesnt get passed Splash screen. It wont load into recovery.
It boots in FASTBOOT & HBOOT. But thats it.
I have :
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.76.2007 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-6.35.10.18
If anyone can help i would really appreciate it !!!!

The reason you go down to a 2010 Engineering SPL in the first place is because the 1.33.0013 is perfected and you can't flash anything, so least this way you go down to 2010, flash the needed radio/hboot/recovery allowing it to be rooted, then you flash the stock (rooted) rom.

If he already made the gold card, that's good, but may still need to flash the engineering SPL (2010) because I think 2007 is also perfected. I would still just flash the engineering SPL since I Know that works, and at this point we're trying to avoid any chance of bricking.
edit : wasn't 100% sure of what I was saying ;-)
Thats every one for helping I really appreciate it.
I tried flashing the Engineering SPL (2010) but i left it as (Sappimg.zip) and when i flash it through Hboot it asks me if i want to start the update after i press the trackball it says System-unzipping and thats where it stays. it doesnt load. and i tried to flash a couple of of other spls before but it stop after it tried to update the Radio. For some reason i cant update the radio it always freezes when the update is about 95% complete.
Any Answerss ???? Please =\

K, Let's try this, at the point you are now:
Using the zip file from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623141
and the 1.6.2G Recovery from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
From your computer:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot_7201A_1.33.0013G_091021.nbo

If you get a Remote Denied after trying the first command, then your current SPL is perfected. However if it works, continue to flash the hboot and recovery.
PS: I have no clue why it freezes during the SPL flashing, "ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010)" should have flashed just fine on the MT3G LE.

I had the problem where no matter how many times I tried the root procedure, it would eventually freeze on the "ANDROID" splash screen and then go to a black screen, nothing else.
I have no idea if this is the correct thing to do, but I eventually went in to recovery and did a Wipe data/factory reset. Then I did the root procedure again and it finally allowed it to boot all the way. Maybe someone who understands better can comment if this was right. Anyway, it worked for me when I basically had no other choice (or so I thought).
From the little bit of knowledge I have so far you did it correctly. If it gets stuck on the load screen or if the screen turns black you usually have to reboot into recovery then do everything you did. If you're flashing a THEMED rom and this happens that means you didn't flash the original rom first. Binary does this with his themes since making roms for mt3g 1.2 is apparently retarded difficult. And just to break it down a little more, he made a themed rom from stokes eclair rom. So I had to flash that rom and then flash his rom since its not a full rom, only a theme. Hope that helped

Hi all,
I've been trying to install the amon RA recovery rom on mg gf's magic, but I'm stuck in a loop.
I've got a non perfect SPL loaded which boots into cupcake

RADIO-3.22.20.17
However when I try to run fastboot boot recovery.img it restarts and gets stuck on the splash screen.
I've re-made the sd card to be a gold card and I've still got the issue.
I've also tried running fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and I get Infosignature checking... FAILED )remote : signature verify fail).
Can anyone help me sort this?
Many thanks
will
You're using a non-engineering SPL, so all fastboot commands will fail. 1.33.2005 has fastboot enabled and you should be able to flash it from your currect state, however I was on .26i radio when I flashed it so I don't know for certain.
EDIT: Since you're on cupcake you should be able to use flashrec to flash the recovery image, so not engineering SPL required!
Hi Adrian,
thanks so much for replying.
In the meantime I've tried another sappimg and this has taken me to 1.33.2010 which has let me fastboot flash recovery... but when I try to boot into recovery (hold home and restart) all i get is the htc magic spash screen
The other issue is that the rom ive now got is lacking the google tools and therefore market, so i cant get flashrec
Any thoughts?
thx
No problem about missing the market, do "adb install *Drag FlashRec APK here*", that will get it installed.
How long did you hold down home+power to get to recovery? The first time I did it after loading up Amon Ra's 1.7.0 it took me holding them for around 1.5-2 minutes before it finally booted in.
Hiya,
I waited about 5 mins or so
I've now got flashrec installed... looking for what to do next?
Here. Start at step 12 assuming you've already got a recovery image.
Hmm, just tried that and it flashes in an instant (too quick tbh!), so im wondering if this is because its already got the recovery on it from when i did it via fastboot
After restarting and holding home im still getting just the splash screen
Is there a way to view what is on the /recovery/ partition, or is there a reason its not wanting to boot into it?
thx
Which recovery image are you using?

I did tell him how to get one ;-P
Hopefully it won't come to that. I think he's loading the wrong recovery image.
recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img
Try re-downloading the recovery image from here and try flashing again. If it doesn't work I think your going to have to try going Adrian's route.
Better yet, you can get it from step 5 here for a quicker download.
Also, when you were in FlashRec running the "/sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img" command did you change recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img to match the filename of your recovery image?
I've just managed to update the recovery, but strangely this is using the 32A recovery.. and not 32B.. but I've got a vodafone Magic
So I can now get into recovery and have followed the steps or dangerSPL, followed by cyanogen mod + gapps, but not i cant get it to fully start up and im stuck on splash screen
V confused now.. just checked in hboot and its still showing sapphire pvt 32b eng s-off H
Hboot 1.76.2007
radio 3.22.20.17
looks like the gf's not having a mobile tomorow.. oh dear im in trouble!
any ideas again much appreciated!
thx
Can you run any fastboot commands?
Yes I can now run fastboot commands and use the recovery tool
thx
Hi all,
hope to get some more help, sorry!!
After looking more into this it seems that one of the previous images i put on the 32b phone was a 32a radio... hence the issue with putting on the recovery image for the 32b not working.
So... i downloaded myTouch-radio-2_22_23_02.zip and using the recovery did an update from zip.. now however the phone boots and all i get is a picture of a box with an arrow pointing to an android robot (see attached!)
At this rate its looking like i need to buy a new phone!
cheers all
I've rooted my Magic, got Cyanogenmod running nicely, etc. I was then trying to flash a new splash screen, and noticed that my security in fastboot shows as begin on (S-ON). Sure enough it wouldn't let me flash the splash screen, it said the signature was not valid.
So, I tried flashing every single engineering SPL possible, and it never changes to off.
Here is my info from the fastboot/hboot screen.
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-ON H
HBOOT 1.33.2010 (SAPP5000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
June 2 2009, 17:27:03
Thanks!
Find zipped hboot, put it in your sd card and flash it trough recovery...

That's what I've done. I've flashed every single engineering hboot file I can find and each one still shows S-ON during fastboot/hboot, and I"m unable to flash through fastboot.
Follow these steps (you should find it in this Mytouch Room)
1. Create your goldcard.
2. Comeback to 1.5 version by flashing rom 1.5 from goldcard.
3. Install Recovery Flasher (RF).
4. Run RF, chose Flash Cyanogen 1.4 img
5. Copy new E-SPL to root of Sdcard, Boot to Recovery mode, flash this file SPL
6. You can flash new recovery img (like 1.7.0G) by fastboot mode through your PC.
Check your new SPL now and S-ON becomes S-OFF.
I've successed on Magic 32B with perfect SPL 1.33.0006 and S-ON.

If this currently a 1.33.20** spl with s=off and a custom recovery can you please do the following
Run 'adb shell dump_image misc /tmp/misc_dat.img'
Then
'adb pull /tmp/misc_dat.img misc_dat.img'
Then send me the resulting image somehow (pm me a rapid share link or ask for my email.. there ought not be any identifiably info in misc but just in case)
This may or may not clear up why there is an issue.. and let a better process to fix it be created.. untill then try unrooting (or installing a stock spl) and re-rooting as was mentioned, just onto forget radio versions may change in the process requiring caution not to skip ahead of yourself and brick.
UPDATE:
So I got the file, misc was nearly all blank without the usual data (boot mode, CID and some other data) this is easily fixed by re-flashing misc from recovery.. I think this can even be made into an update.zip.. (since all magic/dream misc partitions are essentially the same besides the CID, and the CID is still being passed to the recoveries command line when stuck in this state.
So i had to fix the SPL on the mytouch because i kept getting the Fastboot Remote Not allow, So i did the SPL Fix and rebooted and i had a black HTC Magic screen, Got some progress then it said to throw a rom on there but i couldnt get to recovery, i try to flash a recovery and i get remote signature verify fail. So i tried flashing the SAPPIMG again and it is stuck on unzipping, Rebooted again and tried to flashboot boot recovery.img it transfers the recovery and reboots and stuck ad the black htc magic screen again.
Well i made some progress i can flash recovery and stuff now but it wont boot to recovery, i got the recovery to flash successfull but for some reason when i hold home and power it sits at the magic screen
As of right now i have
SApphire PVT 32a eng s-off h
hboot-1.76.2007
cpld-13
radio-6.35.10.18
Well i think ive done everything to this phone............ would be nice to figure somthing out. Been working on it since about 10AM this morning and i got nothing, does anyone have a fix?!
Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks Guys!!

I can flash a new radio on it and a new SPL on it, it takes that when i flash it
To root the phone you need to use the ENG spl 2010 flash your custom recovery, then stock radio and spl. After that, flash ROMs thru recovery. You can not use any other radio/spl at this time.

I think i bricked it now..... it stuck on a 0009 SPL and i cannot do a sappimg it wont unzip and i cannot flash a different spl it does the signature verify fail
Does your phone have the 3.5mm jack? Are you sure you've got a 1.2?
Well, If your phone still turns on and your have a working goldcard, try the ENG 2010 SPL from the Magic SPL thread. once you are back down to 1.33.2010 SPL and 3.22.x radio, fastboot your custom recovery, flash stock mytouch 1.2 radio then spl.
At that point, you won't have any OS tho. so, go into recovery, wipe all (but NOT your SD goldcard). Then flash custom ROM+gapps (if needed)
What is your fastboot info RIGHT NOW....
Remember that if you have a MyTouch 1.2 (with 3.5mm headphone jack) you MUST have the following AFTER you flash your custom recovery.
Radio: 2.22.23.02
SPL: 1.33.0013
So use the engineering SPL (2010) and 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' with a Amon_Ra 1.7.0G or Clockwork Recovery for MyTouch devices (NOT MAGIC).
Afterwards reboot to your recovery by holding HOME while booting. If you can boot into recovery then flash your stock spl (1.33.0013) back. Then flash your rom.

I had the same issue the other day while experimenting on my mt3g 1.2. What worked for me was using adb to push the stock mt3g hboot and radio and then rerooting my phone. You can download the files you need from the unlockr.com web page and skim his how-to for android in the unrooting section. Hope this helps.
does it still boot into fastboot, hboot, or recovery?

if it boots into fastboot, hboot, or recovery you are not sunk yet. you will need the "official" sappimg.zip or .nbh on your gold card, but it should go through the steps and re-image it.. this will get your phone back to stock.
are you using a Tmobile MyTouch 1.2? or are you using a Rogers Magic?
the files will be different as the hardware requires differnent drivers.
there are many links on this site, or theunlockr.com that will get you the correct files you will need. make sure you check the md5 sums on anything you download to make sure its not corrupted before trying to flash it.
hope this helps.
