Hi everybody,
Call me stupid if you like but....
I have a HTC Magic from Belgian telecomservice Proximus.
Some days ago I did the following.
- deleted all files from SD-card
- wrote down following:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP 10000)

RADIO-3.22.20.17

- ran the RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
- RUU said: cannot find customer-ID
On this point my mobile was stuck on the RUU / USB screen
- I ran RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.04.401.2_HTC_AT_test_signed_NoDriver
- RUU said: cannot find customer-ID
now my mobile says:

Now I think (I'm a noob) my mobile is semi-bricked.
I tried to make a Goldcard, but couldnt because I cannot run adb.
I can run fastboot from AndroidSDK/tools
adb doesnt find devices.. fastboot finds my device.
Anyone who can help me? I would be really thankfull.
Ouch ouch, looks like its more than semi bricked for now. Since it updated your spl to a perfected one there isn't hacked yet. I'm afraid that the only thing there might save this phone is running another RUU your mobile will accept. You have to find one which got 1.76.0009 or higher cause the S=ON now
If this wont work the only hope will be a spl hack will be released and will be done through fastboot.
But most of all it sounds like the best thing there could happen is that your warranty is still valid and they will replace it for you.
Anyway, don't take my words as 100% cause i'm no expert on this matter!!!
If you dare to try to flash another spl/radio through fastboot look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239
BUT, as your new spl is perfected it will most probably not work and ruin the possibility to use fastboot.
Maybe and just maybe, it will be easier to get a replacement if it's fully bricked and it's impossible to get into fastboot and recovery.
Thanks already for the fast answer.
Let me try your suggestions first.
Warranty will not be provided I assume.
I tried to reflash, I couldn't... Let's jst go to the shop and send it to repair-service.
Thanks for helping Ronni!!

Try to wait a little while, like i wrote i'm not an expert on this matter.
Maybe if you're lucky someone will drop by with a solution for it. But to be honest, i wouldn't keep my hopes up
And sorry didn't follow the thread, don't have any links for RUU cause i'm not really sure which you should use.
But if Belgium got the update which include HTC sense, i guess that would be the right one.
I found a solution to my problem.
Here's what did I do.
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656798
Got the exact same issue.
Tried the goldcard with the sandisk 2GB, but with an usb adapter. (I read the card should work)
I could do everything in the goldcard tutorial but when inserting the goldcard in the phone nothing happens at boot or when pressing the recovery keys at boot.
It jumps right away to versions screen.
The strange thing is though. Once I inserted the sd card in the phone, I can no longer use it on the PC (please insert media). Which I could do before.
When inserting the sdcard on another magic phone, it's working fine.
Going to get a Kingstong 2GB with sdcard adapter in the mean time and try it in the pc's card reader.
(HTC Magic 32A)
It really sucks Proximus sells android phones you cannot update. What's the use to have open source software then?
I also wander why the RUU update went wrong, once you root the phone is should work no ?
hmmm, I Read on this forum there is no fix for the 1.76.0009
h**p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218&page=27
radjagios, can you confirm the goldcard is working for this?
You have any useful info like sappimg version you have put on it?
htc magic stuck in htc magic boot screen, it keeps rebooting after playing the htc welcome sound.
it was not rooted before & i have no backup room. fastboot can't recognize the device
C:\SDK_15\tools>fastboot devices
< waiting for device >
all the drivers are installed
is there any chance to recover it?
by any chance you got your phone from Smart Telecom in Manila? Rockwell? White HTC Magic?
I dont want to open one more thread so I'll share my doubt here.
I've bricked my Magic and I supose that warranty doesnt cover it. What about if I drop my magic, for exemple, and send it to HTC ? Would they fix it ?

If they find out it was due to rooting they will charge you for any repairs. If not, then you are lucky and you get a free repair

white htc magic mate. so is there a chance to recover it?

can you access recovery?
this happens when installing a 32b/g1 rom and forgetting to install the port file.. did that happen?

Alright from what i can understand is a native htc. You havnt rooted right? Do you have warranty from HTC? Because if you do you should use it there should be a maulfunction hardware and we should not do any experiments in order to try fix something wich maybe has a malfunction, and then you loose warranty.
If you dont have the warranty, then please tell me, have you done anything in particuler to make the phone become like this? If yes please tell me exacly what in order to find a suitable solution .

besides, two weeks ago i gave to a gsm-shop for unlock, is there any chance of..........
ok lets try this first without rooting. try to put in fastboot mode and upgrade a ROM from HTC official site same version you are using now. (Not the update from january but november)
the unlock procedure does not affect the phone performance so do not worry. is a complete seperate region in your phone.

TRIED THE THREE MODEs :fastboot,recovery, and normal mode. BUT ALWAYS GETS CONNECTION ERROR. all the drivers ar installed. the pc recognizes the device as storage device & as android bootloader interface when using fastboot mode. i can't access the menu to change connection option
mayb i should try sdcard flashing but i do need this zip file sappdiaG.zip
after trying a room update.zip using sd i got these errors

thats normal is not update but sappimg.img . you can do that but before you should be able to update in fastboot mode without problems.
If you have a firewall remove, sometimes it inteferes.
In case doesnt update in fastboot the offficial HTC update read and follow instructions:
http://translate.google.pt/translat...ss.C3.A1rio_para_fazer_o_processo&sl=pt&tl=en
Read everything, Skip the create the gold card method.
and do exacly as is written in english (You dont need to format the card)
Basicly is:
Download http://rapidshare.com/files/267446145/2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip
insert on your SD card. run in Hboot (Down volume + back)
The phone is going to update the new rom. Be patient, the first time takes around 5-10 min most of the times.
download the hboot: http://rapidshare.com/files/247838950/update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2005-signed.zip
change the name to update.zip and copy to the SD card. Turn on the phone pressing power+home and it'll enter in safe mode. In safemode apply update.zip .
Then you should have something as: http://www.androidpt.info/images/d/d5/Magic0014_4.jpg
Then you'll flash a recovery so that you can install a rom

I discovery the problem, i was receiving the Not Allow Mensage because my Goldcard was in Fat format i always see fat error cannot open but never think about when i changed the format for Fat32 the phone install (allow) all the flash's.
Hi,
First of all, let me tell you what happened. I have had a standard htc magic with sense UI (perfected spl) so I done everything what was needed to upgrade my phone to other ROM. Everything was ok untill my girlfriend told me next day that she can't call me. I tried to call her, an it works but in other direction doesn't. So I decided to downgrade radio and engeniering SPL to flash other ROM and everytime I was trying to downgrade radio the phone screen turns dark. After a couple of times I came up with an idea to simply use patched RUU aplication to do it. This time it won't work either. Whats more the phone turned into s-on and it only boots into something like fastboot screen but there's nothing more like some informations about radio and stuff and RUU. And here is my question.
What can I do with my phone to bring him to life?
Is it posible to make a goldcard synthetically, I mean without pluging phone into USB to get some codes?
ps: Sorry about my english. I think my phone is more important at this time.
possible solution
Hello there,
yes, you can read the CID of an SD card from your pc too.
the CID is basically a serial number for your SD.
since S in SD stands for secure, some programmers can limit their applications to run only in the SD they were installed to by verifying the CID.
anyway, if you can access HBOOT mode (vol down + power), it would be a lot simpler flashing a basic RUU rom, then root it, install a recovery and do whatever you want.
If you choose to follow this method, I suggest you to restore a RUU with android 1.5 or 1.6, it's easier to root and you're sure everything will work. i heard 2.x version of android sotck roms for htc magic can have some problems in rooting process.
good luck to you!
I will try to get the CID of my SD card, but what's more complicated is that whatever way I want to turn my phone on it only boots with something like fastboot screen, but instead of options to choose on the screen i there's only RUU and when i plug-in the USB cable the sign changes into RUU USB. So accesing any other mode is imposible. Only the blue light mode works. :/

What carrier is your phone from and what is your current hboot info? You should be able to see it from the RUU fastboot-like screen.

I would be very thankful if You, or anyone could help.
Download this, plug your phone into the computer and turn it on so that you have "RUU USB" on the screen, the double-click the downloaded file and run it. See if that gets you anywhere.
The same situation as later. Everything goes ok until the radio is being updated, then the screen fades black. The whole process ends at 36%.
Your going to have to see if mumilover adds his comments here.

You got radio/spl combo mismatch.
Run this command and give us the result:
Code:

Are you sure that the above info is correct and updated?
version-main is 3.05.401.1
I made a mistake, hboot is actually 1.76.0008.
Hi.
I have an 32A HTC Magic.
I don't know what got wrong but I have NO working ROM on my device.
I have Amon Ra 1.6.2, SPL-OFF, Can get into recovery, can get into Fastboot mode.
Tried flashing some ROMs (they installed 100% completely) but when I reboot the logo just shows "htc MAGIC" and nothing happens.
Please what should I try to do?
Your help will be very much appreciated.
Best regards and sorry for not so great english.
Okay, the thing is:
I can get into the Fastboot screen, but cant get into Fastboot USB mode. So no way of sending ADB commands from my laptop.
Also, no way to get into HBOOT. Even from the Fastboot screen, pressing VOL DOWN doesn't do anything.
What the heck do I do? (
It can be caused by stucked buttons.
Tear down the phone
Clean parts
Assemble all back
p.s. Please post spl-info (first 5 rows in fastboot screen) to avoid software incompatability

Cause Im a bit stupid I guess ...
One thing though, I can't even get my computer to recognize my Magic.
Nothing happens when I plug it to the USB port. Not showing up in Device Manager.
I have tried two mini USB cables, same thing.
Guess Im totally screwed?
It is driver-related issue.
You need explore Windows Device Manager (My computer (right click) / Manage / Device Manager)
There must be Android USB Devices in tree.
You can also install USBDEVIEW
32bit OS: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview.zip
64bit OS: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview-x64.zip
p.s.
1. adb must return serial number when phone in normal state after command "adb devies"
2. fastboot must return serial number only in fastboot-mode after command "fastboot devices"
If you see serial number - no problem with adb/fastboot

Hi, slkdk,
Have you ever tried the "RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Chunghwa"
(in Traditional Chinese/English)
You just need to connect your phone with PC, turn on the phone with back+power, and then execute the "RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Chunghwa" on PC.
I remember that Sapphire_HTC_Chunghwa will help you with all the radio/SPL/ROM directly back to the Android 1.5 stock.
Good luck!

Just note, but not all phones are Taiwanese Chungwa. Installing ROM for another region (mismatching by CID) will raise "cid error" and half-brick.
