I am trying to install Cyanogenmod using the tutorial here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Magic_(32B):_Rooting and the device can never boot.
This is a MyTouch3g 32b that was previously running the original firmware. I was able to downgrade to firmware 1.5 and get Amon_Ra 1.7.0G installed fine.
I downloaded update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip and copied to the SDcard. I rebooted into recovery and wiped everything before installing that zip. Now it boots to the Cyanogenmod logo which spins for a while then freezes and repeats the whole thing again.
How should I proceed?
edit:
While trying to troubleshoot I found another page on the wiki that said I needed the updated radio so I installed 2.22.23.02 from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640535
It didn't change anything.
That is weird. Please post full spl-info (turn phone off, then turn on by pressing back + power)

Confusing a little..
What SPL-info is current now?
i'm having a similar issue. i'm trying to get cm6 on this phone for a friend. i rooted with super1click, flashed recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G and i can get into recovery fine. i made a nand backup, flashed cm6 and it won't boot. stuck at htc slash. i had to nand restore. do i need s-off to flash a rom or flash kernel thru fastboot or something? i have not changed the spl yet for lack of really knowing what i need to do. there is little info about whether i need to mess with that to flash cm6.

I am not Magic 32b's owner, but it seems like CM6 is not compatible with hboot 1.33.0013 / radio 2.22.28.25
Try to check compatible Rom (ex. gingeryoshi or something else). Look at Htc Dream Development forum. There are some actual Roms. Htc Dream and Magic 32b have same hardware level and custom Roms (but NOT official)
I am not advising change spl (hboot/radio combo), cause hboot 1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d are last hboots for Magic 32b and developers make roms compatible with these hboots.

Okay so I was browsing around CM6 RC1 today and decided I might try the ClockworkMod Recovery image. I did not know CM has this memory corruption issue at the time. So now my recovery is corrupted. I can boot into the ROM fine, and I believe the solution is to go into fastboot and somehow replace the recovery, SPL or both, but I cannot find an definitive answer online.

UPDATE:
The answer was to flash a SAPPIMG from fastboot (since I had perfected SPL)
I used Amon_RA's excellent guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218
other than creating that shiny goldcard the process was very simple.

sometimes you have to try more than once. for some reason the first time doesn't always take... but it should on the second attempt.
known issue.
Okay, so i Just flashed a new custom recovery, and i tried rebooting it into recovery, but it just stay on the bootlogo
The custom recovery i flashed was

Oh its a mytouch 3g 3.5mm jack.

You flashed the wrong recovery for your phone. There's a sticky on the first page for the myTouc 1.2 you need to read through.

This sounds like my problem. Hopefully your solution works =(
Hello,
my magic is in really bad shape after some bad decisions:
After wiping and flashing Yoshi's Gingerbread 7.1 the phone started to reboot itself randomly. It worked perfectly with previous versions of this rom. Reading the forums some people said it had to do with the recovery and how some didn't wipe certain partitions, and recomended to use Clockwork recovery instead. Here's the first bad decision, I was lazy and used the market app to flash it (rom manager?), and since then I couldn't boot into recovery any more.
Now, after wiping every partition I can't use adb, and being unable to flash anything with fastboot ("FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)"), what can I do?
With fastboot boot recovery it freezes in "booting...". I also tried flashing the recovery through terminal emulator, didn't work (throwed lot of hex addresses).

Thanks for your time!
Solved.
Used HTC's RUU. The phone's back to stock conditions. Will be rooting and doing everything else again soon.
Hi,
Would you be able to elaborate on where you download the RUU and how you used it to fix the problem? I've got a similar situation, my phone bootloops, the recovery is inoperable, but I can get into hboot. Thanks!
Hi,
You cand download the RUU from here:
http://www.htc.com/es/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=246&cat=2&dl_id=882
The install process is very simple. You only need to turn on the phone on fastboot mode and execute the .exe (on a Windows machine).
Regards
Do you know if this will be compatible with my phone and its current setup?
Here's my info from hboot

It's a T-Mobile Mytouch 3g.
Thanks!
I'm not sure, I'd say not being this for vodafone. I have no clue how that would affect the mytouch. Maybe there is a RUU for the t-mobile version?
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.

I'm able to perform all the steps you posted. Only I can't find the correct hbot.
the only one I found is a 1.33.0013b version wich has a 2.22.27.08 radio. And I don't think my current ROM is compatible with that radio. found the hboot here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
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:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G

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.

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.
