HELP! Can't boot android, recovery, or fastboot!

I did something bad to my magic (ION). I was tying to get a non perfect spl so i applied a rom that gave me a htc build. Fine . Then I was trying to get back to a stock ion build using the guide on developer.htc.com. I applied the radio update as read, and once I did, when I tried to reboot, all i got was the htc magic boot screen. I cannot get into fastboot, nor recovery mode. My ion was not rooted and had the normal recovery. The last time I went into fastboot it said this:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010
CPLD-10
Radio 3(2?).22.20.17
I got the that rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218
The radio I tried to apply was 2.22.19.26I. Maybe something was wrong with the .zip that I created with adb?
Please help me. Is there anything I can do? I am not a developer or a leet hacker. I just wanted to get cyanogenmod but took a few missteps along the way.

Possibly bricked mytouch 3g

Well I followed the 1.2 tutorial and successfully flashed the image file all the way up to the recovery and radio stuff. Now the phone will not boot it freezes at the htc magic boot screen and also I don't have root access. Also I can get into fastboot but the usb is not working now so I an kinda stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

I just had this problem, I re-installed the RUU via usb while the phone was on and that let me try again.
edit - that might not make any sense actually, since I followed a different guide and having just read through the one you are following. I am not 100% but I'm pretty sure if you did it that it would work though.

How do you know you don't have root? Can you get into recovery (home+power). You may need to hold it down for a while to get it going.

I held it down for a good few minutes and I noticed the phone does not boot at all it just sits at the HTC boot logo forever, allthough it doesnt flash vibrate or do any weird stuff just hangs.

Nm I was able to re-flash sappimg and the phone is now fully functional Also the cyanogen rom I downloaded from the tutorial was corrupt just fyi for those having problems.

[Q] PROB stuck plz help

well im a noob to the mytouch3g but i own a slide....the prom im haveing is a friend game me his 3g cuz it was stuck at mytouch splash and well i cant get it past that

radio-6.35.10.18
so can any1 help....i can get to fastboot and hboot just not past that

He hosed the radio. The 6.35.10.18 radio is for actual 32A devices. Read through this post and the light will come on. You may be able to get the radio changed back by following the instructions in this post.

well i have tryed that sapp b4 just get to Radio V2 and sits there updating for last time i try till it went dead...i can get to fastboot hboot but not recovery

well tryed again lastnite and well sat at updateing Radio_V2 at like 90 percent for 3 hours......WHAT AM I TO DO?

Can you still get into recovery? With the phone off, turn it on holding home+power.

that takes me to the splash screen tryed.. im gonna try now that i have sd drive to use the gold card
well that didnt work hung up at thr radio_v2

Well if you can borrow a friends phone to make a goldcard, then just follow the old school guide in my sig. Hopefully it wont fail writing the radio which is what I'm thinking will happen.

i made the gold crad from my slide and well same thing gets stuck at thr RADIO_V2....then i pulled the bat and now have soff and tryed flashing radio through fastboot and the same thing get 90percent dont and hangs there

What radio did you try flashing? Either way, your going to have to flash a proper Engineering SPL that'll work with that radio, then flash the new radio, then the correct SPL. What are you showing in fastboot now?

Alright, that one should be good. Where did you get the radio image your trying to flash and which radio is it?

ok so now this is what i have now

if thats right only prob i have now is i cant get into recovery...hold home power takes me to splash screen.....so how far off am i?

You need to get the stock SPL back on there. Flash recovery from fastboot, then flash the correct SPL, and then reboot. BE CAREFUL, if you flash the wrong SPL you may brick your phone. Give me about an hour and I'll link the correct files.

THANK YOU......i now have it back to stock had to get the right radio then i used ruu so we are back to stock.....now to root it which why do u recommend......the old or new way?

Download this, put it on the root of your SD card. With the phone booted, download/install "Appinstaller" from the market. Use it to install Universal Androot, then run the app, which will root your phone. Once Universal Androot root's your phone, start at Step #6 from this guide.

Really need some help, stuck at RUU USB screen.

UPDATED!!!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I now have HBOOT!!! yay I missed those skateboarding androids
I want to be very careful from here on, so with hboot working is there anything I can do to get my phone back?
how I got hboot back:
I took the rom file out of a Australian RUU
replaced the radio with the one I currently have 3.22.20.17
replaced the hboot with a compatible one ( or so I thought )
and ran the mod'd RUU, which allowed it to get past the radio installation and instal new hboot
I am of course still semi bricked as I get a boot-loop ( sits at HTC magic screen for a few minutes than reboots )
and I still dont have access to recovery
I am still unrooted
and I still have a mismatched hboot/radio ( lol I ment to flash 1.33.0010H but I ended up flashing 1.76.0010H ) DOH!
so here I am with:

So I think I may have bricked my magic
from everything I've read, I cant seem to find a working fix for my problem.
I was originally on CM6 and decided I wanted a sense rom so I installed sfm 1.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025330
after running it for a bit I realized I couldn't get data access and found out I didn't upgrade my radio to 6.35.16.19
I also discovered for some reason I lost root.
I did something stupid without researching I went to the tutorial I used to originally root my phone.
http://greatbigdog01.wordpress.com/2010/07/12/new-shorter-rogers-magicmagic-rooting-guide/
at step 4 while installing the RUU it got stuck installing the radio and sat at 36% so like an idiot I pulled the battery.
now I am at a RUU USB screen
there is a picture of a microchip with a red x through it at the bottom
I have no recovery
I can run fastboot
I can only run adb shell after using "fastboot oem boot" which loads SFM 1.0
Every RUU Ive tried stalls installing the radio
everything I've tried to get root back fails
everything Ive tried to get recovery fails
any help on this would be immensely appreciated
Thanks

This may just totally frag my phone but I was wondering if this might work.
I've read a few posts of people fixing there 32b that was flashed using a 32a rom by flashing another 32a rom ( usually the Arabic one for some reason ) which gets them up and running to switch back over to 32b
would flashing a 32b rom just be a very very bad idea?
also I have access to another magic, could I use that in anyway to get me going.
just spit-balling ideas, dont really know enough to proceed without some advice.

Wow!! If Ive stumped the genius's here, I must really be screwed...

I tried a séance, and a little bit of black magik, in hopes of bring my phone back to life, unfortunately it didn't work.
any other idea's?

I'm pretty sure I can correct your issue with JTAG. PM me if you are interested in this as well as any others that see this.

Some new progress, read original post for update.
I tried something totally crazy without knowing what it would do, but it got me hboot back....lol
Just need to know where to go from here!
Thanks

Is this HTC Magic bricked?

Hello,
I recently tried to update the spl/radio to use a new rom on my HTC Magic 32A and after updating the spl the phone just hangs on the "HTC Magic" screen. Fastboot or Recovery wont start if I hold the buttons. Was just wondering if it is bricked or if it is possible to fix via cmd or so? I read alittle on jtag but I think if it came down to that Ill just buy a new phone cause this phone is not worth that much trouble.
I rooted the phone a year or so ago. First I had cyanogen but they dropped support so I switched too gingeryoshi but the wifi stopped working. It still connected to tmobile hotspot but I couldnt tether or connect to my wifi. So I thought of putting on Froyodragon. I updated too HBOOT-1.76.2007 but then it just hanged on reboot.
Thanks for any input.

Turn phone off (if you have bootloop then remove battery and place it back after 10-20 sec)
Turn on by pressing Back + Power - it's fastboot-mode
Write first 5 rows of info (all symbols are important)
If you do not have Android Sdk Tools configured - do it
Additionaly search for fastboot.exe - this utility can be absent from sdk tools
Connect phone to pc when it in fastboot-mode
Run
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
fastboot getvar cidnum
fastboot getvar version-main

hello,
I tired back+power, power+vol down, and power+home, they all just sit at the "HTC Magic" screen.

Did you remove battery before try and placed it back? If yes and any combination did not help -> 'brick'. Only JTAG can help.
What ROM did you have before?
And what ROM did you update?
There are no bricked phones when 32A phone updating with 32A official ROM. I don'y understand how you bricked your device.
Even if hboot updated but radio did not - there are some chances to restore...
Tell us how it happened?

same problem
Sir im also facing the same problem like this person is facing:
I guess that I've bricked my HTC magic phone. actually it was working fine but after when i flash Hboot file named (ISO-8859-1__STOCK-HBOOT) on it.
my device stop functioning not any key is working phone its not coming up in hboot loader screen by pressing vol down key+power key, not even in recovery mode. by pressing home key+ power key.
but if i press vol down+power key its not showing any hboot loader screen but if i use command prompt after that and use fastboot devices command its shows the device like in machine language
just like this:
D:\adb\tools>fastboot devices
?╞ñ?¿╥§?4:¶♫ fastboot
here are the details of my mobile. is there any way to fix this issue?

Yes I removed the battery (only way i could turn it off). I stated most of this info in the first post but Ill try and state specifically what versions I had. When I first rooted I used Cyanogen Rom. It worked fine but they dropped support so I switched too Gingeryoshi. I dont remember what version. I tried to update it too 1.5 first but it didnt work but fastboot and recovery still worked so I decided to switch to a new rom instead and tried Froyodragon but it needed radio 6.35.16.19 and HBOOT-1.76.2007. So I wiped it then I did the HBOOT-1.76.2007 and after installing and rebooting is when it stopped working.

Crap, I just did this too... got a yellow arrow coming from a box onto an Android. I flashed a mismatched 6.35 radio (I guess?).
Can't boot to fastboot--can only boot to blue light mode (trackball+power) and phone will charge if connected by USB--but is never recognized by ADB or fastboot.

Wait 5-10 minutes, "yellow arrow coming from box" equals unpack and flash. Phone should finish this process.
Try to load into hboot-mode: turn phone off (remove battery and place it back if bootlooping), then turn on by pressing Volumedown + power
In this mode you can flash full official rom in sappimg.zip format (or sappimg.nbh if you have 32b magic)
If phone doesn't load into any mode (except trackball + power) - then you have brick and only jtag can help.

But, it goes to a black screen about ten seconds after that.. sadly I think it needs to be jtagged and i will just give it away for parts.
I also tried the sapphire image trick, no luck.

those all sound like bricks..

problem with 32b - looping after rom.
Believe me, I tried a lot here and on google before posting here.
I tried to install a ROM on my htc magic 32b and certainly was not what I should.

I've read very, very much. I read that I have to change the SHIP for ENG.
Also read about ruu, but I found a will for my device, nor know how to run.
First of all, my phone is only on LOOP. I can normally access the fastboot USB.
But does not accept commands, I believe it because of S-ON.
I do not know how to install an img it to get S-OFF.
Could someone help me get back my life device?
Thank you and with the help of google translator.

huahua!!!!
