Was applying an RUU update...what a bad move...
Now my HTC Magic got stuch in RUU screen showing the following:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A SHIP S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.76.0010 (SAPP50000)
CPLD-11
RADIO-6.35.10.18

RUU
I tried many ways to get rid of this screen but didn't work.
My phone original has the rogers 2.17.631.2 build, and I did a bad move to upgrade to Android 1.5.=( The RUU process flashed my HBOOT and RADIO, but as soon as it starts the "system" steps, the screen shows unzipping for over an hour and eventually failed. Now my phone will start up with the above screen only!! i can't get myphone startup in recovery mode or fastboot mode.
I tried re-run the RUU porgram on my PC and the tool still shows i have the old anroid build. Hence i know that i now have NEW HBOOT and RADIO but still the old Android build.
Is there a way for me to get out of this RUU screen? Any help is appreciated.
Is the security off (S-OFF) allows me to downgrade the SPL? If so, how can i do that given i can only boot my HTC Magic in this screen only.
One more side note, fastboot can detect the phone.
Urgently need help! Appreciated.
So I have bought a HTC Magic in Singapore about a year ago.
Some of the information about my phone before it got stucked in HTC Magic power-on screen:

I found a site that helped me to get my phone rooted as follow:

Soon after, I started searching for new ROM elsewhere and managed to update my SPL to 1.33.2007 and that's where problem starts to occur..
My phone get stucked on HTC Magic screen display forever.
I was eager to get this problem solved and have not done enough research before I got myself in a worse situation with the phone hbooted like this:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP10000)

Now I can only enter hboot and fastboot.
Can somebody help me to at least get back to my original ROM? I don't wanna root my phone ever again..
Help please~
If you can get into fastboot you're fine. Just flash 32A radio/spl again and then the desired ROM. Old radio/spl - 1.33.X/3.22.X New radio/spl 1.76.X/6.35.
yeah when turning on the phone hold home and power, if you get the recovery menu then you got nothing to worry about, just flash the proper rom and all will be fine, there is even a stock htc rom with root around here.
right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622038
but you dont have to go back to stock, you just need to put on a rom that fits your phone. i personally suggest this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654284
so good luck post back when you get it figured out
Thank you Reziukas and sike89 for the reply..
I will try the ROM recommended in the links. =)
I cannot get into recovery (-Home- & -Power-) now due to the perfected SPL (1.33.0006).
And whenever I use the goldcard method that flooded over the internet, I always get this "Main version is older!" failure message.
I think I have made the goldcard correctly cause it worked while I was trying to flash my 1.76.0007 SPL to 1.76.2007.
Any idea?
when you hold home and power what does it do?
did you root your phone with the recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img?
I did but after I flashed RADIO-2.22.19.26I with SPL 1.33.0006 I can't get into this recovery mode anymore.
When I press Home and Power, it starts booting but stucked on HTC Magic screen forever..
Easily said it, I can only enter hboot (vol down and power) and fastboot (back and power) now..
Procedure
1.Turn your phone off. Turn it on by holding Back and Power, or Vol. down and Power. Either way, boot into the bootloader.
You should see the three Androids on skateboards, and the menu title should say "Fastboot".
2.Connect your device to the computer. The display on your phone should now say "Fastboot USB".
3.Open up the shell/terminal on your computer, and type
fastboot devices [enter]Your device should be listed with it's serial number, and should say "fastboot".
4.Change directory to where you have saved your recovery image. I.e. type "cd /path/to/recovery.img in windows prompt, press enter.
5.You may issue a "dir" command (Windows) or "ls" (Unix/Linux) to make sure you are at the right directory, or just skip this step.
6.Type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Check your phone's display, as recovery is being sent and flashed to your device.
Check your command prompt/shell to make sure the process is over.
i got all that from Binary100100 who got it from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/RE-recovery-img
give that a shot
also maybe this might help

I seem like I cannot use the fastboot command in 1.33.0006 SPL??
Whenever I type a fastboot command and press enter, I always get an error message.
>> ... FAILED (remote: not allow)
Do we have any windows application that can help to bypass all checking on the phone stats and proceeds with fastboot flash directly?
Perfected spl, you need to make yourself a goldcard
Goldcard doesn't seem to work..
Whenever I try to flash a new radio, it prompted me an error message "Main version is older!"..
What to do?
when it says main version is older it means you need the goldcard.
do you have a working goldcard? if not use this
http://revskills.de/downloads/psas.zip it will make the gold card.
No need for phone?
Hello there.
I was reading this thread and I'm having a similar problem.
I have a question, sike89.
Is it possible to create the goldcard just with the software you mentioned?
My magic 32a will only go into fastboot (stuck at splash screen) and so
I won't be able to use my phone to create the card.
Thanks!
As mentioned by YamatoDelgato, I cannot boot up my phone and thus far I am unable to re-create a goldcard.
But this "goldcard" I am using right now was a working goldcard and I am surprised that it doesn't work all the times..
By the way, I found an alternative on internet saying that you can use other HTC Magic phone to create a goldcard for your phone; Although I am not sure if its gonna work out, just give it a shot..
Sike89, am I right to say that this application does not require any HTC phone in order to create a goldcard?
I can just format my SD card using PC and input the necessary information into the application to create goldcard, is it true?
Problem Solved...with a Sacrifice.
Well I managed to get my phone booting again.
I have a rogers phone so I used their "mandatory"
update (2 sappimgs) to get my phone working again.
However, this resulted in getting the dreaded
SPL 1.76.0010 meaning I can't root it easily.
However, I know that with a working
phone that I now have, I could use it to obtain
a gold card.
Boy that was scary!
I'm so scared to try rooting again but I probably will hehe !
Thanks to xda community and google search!
I lost my original nandroid backup but did manage to install an original ROM on my 32B (Vodafone). Took some work but it worked Afterwards I wrote a tutorial about it (google How to restore your custom ROMed HTC Magic (Vodafone 32B) – a walk through, I can't post links yet).
my evo is rooted with the auto root unrevoked, i could not find a rom i liked so i wanted something similar to the stock ruu just not locked down. so i downloaded RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253
and i get: ERROR [110]: FILE OPEN ERROR
This error message indicates that the RUU lacks some specific files or they are damaged, so the RUU cannot continue with the update. You have to get the complete RUU package and try again.
and my phone goes to a black screen with HTC in the middle and 4 triangles with "!" in them in each corner when i unplug it from the usb my screen says
SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-2.10.0001

THEN "RUU" IS HIGHLIGHTED IN ORANGE
what did i do? what did i not do? what do i do?
all the help will be apreciated....thanks
it locked itself in ruu mode. You will need to find a good ruu to use, it sounds like that one was too old.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
yeah try getting a recent RUU. The version and radio on that makes it look like it's probably an oooold Eclair rom instead of Froyo.
Disclaimer: I have searched and searched, but found nothing that works.
Mytouch 3g, google branded.
Rooted about a year ago. Installed CM5(I think it was 5). Got greedy and messed it up. Tried to go back to stock. Failed. Bought a Vibrant. Put the mytouch in a drawer. Trying to get it to work again. Here is the problem(s):
The recovery installed was a vodafone. It booted up fine, but when on the welcome screen where it says "touch the android to begin" the phone would not recognize the fact that I was actually touching the screen. Track ball worked fine, but since it actually wanted me to touch the screen it was a no go.
Today while trying to fix the phone and trying to flash all kinds of recovery images I would get the "Main version is older! Update fail!" message. I finally found one (the 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip) that would actually get past the update fail.
The phone now boots up to the main home screen. But it still does not recognize the fact that I am actually touching the screen. The only way I can navigate anything is by using the track ball.
When I click on the "dialer", "contacts", or "call log" icons I get the message:
"Sorry. The process android.process.acore has stopped...blah blah blah"
Does anyone have any ideas?
I have a gold card.
Download my fastboot commander from my signature and provide here all device info.
Just don't flash anything until i say so... you have been warned.

Initially the device wouldn't boot up at all. I managed to flash an RRU and get Android to boot the phone but now the problem is the SDCARD isn't recognized, every time the device boots up it says SD CARD is ready to be removed. I found a command to fix the sdcard bit from the cyanogen mod forums even though I am not running it (I know) remote boot is not allowed on my phone so I can't even use that. Tried to flash the Engineering SPL 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg using a gold card but it pops up stating:
Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
Please help!
[EDIT]
Also, fastboot getvar version-main gives out the following:
version-main: 2.56.494.7
I understand that my version is higher. Is there a way I could modify it? or the sappimg to think otherwise?
[EDIT]
Cheers!
[UPDATE]
I have managed to root using one click method and now have busybox and su.
I have also managed to flash amon_ra recovery without sd card (well obviously since SD card isn't working for me). Recovery doesn't see the sd card either sadly.
[/UPDATE]
Hi guys,
i have read so many threads on the emmc chip issue after buying a ny touch 4g from ebay. mine is no different in the problems but i cant seem to get the phone to flash.
i have downloaded the recommended PD15IMG.zip files on the sdcard but my problem is in trying to update using the file the phone sticks on updating the Bootloader.
so i was wondering is there a way to egit the zip file by removing the bootloader image so that when updating the process can just bypass the bootloader stage inorder to get the phone going again?
currently the phone sticks on the my touch 4g logo and yes i can get into hboot but no i cannot do a factory reset cause its sticks and no i cannot get into recovery cause it vibrates 7 times.
also i wanted to know if its possible to use either fastboot.exe or adb.exe to flash the image onto the phone? because in the past you could have used a RUU.exe file to flash a phone in bootloader mode is that still possible with this phone?
can someone assist me with getting the phone to work don't care about rooting right now oh also this is the info on screen:
