It's like going to the doctor and saying the you feel pain and nothing else!
Do you have fastboot access?
Do you have recovery access?

i dont have a fasboot & recovery access...
i root my phone with universal androot,using rom manager i successfully flash recovery,then i download rom..i kinda like want to look around the rom manager app and i accidentally press ok with the backup & clear cache?the phone start to restart and now i cant turn on my phone
my phone is...
HTC magic 32a s-on
hboot 1.76.0007
radio 6.35.07.29
its because of the perfected spl right?

From what I can see,with my limited experience, either you left out a part after "s-on", or your phone thinks its neither HTC nor google.
It should say S-ON H
And I dont think that 0007 is perfected.
But I'm a noob and would wait for mumilover to respond...

I want ALL fastboot info.
How did you get this info....
I don't believe that rom-manager has the power to **** up your fastboot.
Recovery and system, maybe - but not fastboot.
When you hold back-button and power-button together what do you see?
Write it down here or take a picture or what ever...
Can you see fastboot?
If you can't see anything beside flash screen then i can't help you!

Similar Issue
Hey Guys and Girls,
This is my first time posting on this site. I have run into a similar issue and have attempted to post on numerous sites without having any luck solving the problem.
The quick version: I ran z4root to root my phone; it said successful. I then installed Rom Manager and switched my recovery to Clockwork (the most recent one). Next I downloaded the latest CM6 from the Rom Manager with GApps. After having unsuccessful attempts at backing up and wiping first, I decided to try installing the Rom without backing up or wiping data. The Rom install worked this time (I got installation successful). However, when the phone rebooted itself, it never got past the Rogers screen. It is now in a constant state of rebooting until I pull the battery.
I can get to fastboot, but cannot get to the recovery screen. My HTC Magic 32A specs from the fastboot menu are:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.0010 (SAP50000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.16.19
Some other info that may help:
-my PC recognizes my phone (I have been trying the Radio Switcher v.GUI 4.1 and it says the phone is connected) but it is not allowing me to flash anything.
-When I try "adb devices" it gives error: no device attached but "fastboot devices" gives me a number.
-I have tried putting "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H" on my sdcard, but the HBoot says no image or wrong image
-The Radio Switcher v.GUI 4.1 says my phone is not rooted
-I tried the goldcard method of rooting, but because I can't get the phone to recognize the sdcard, I can't get a proper CID for the goldcard creator
Hopefully I've provided enough info to get some help. I am waiting patiently, but am starting to get sick of the old Sony Ericsson Anything helps!

You have to make a goldcard... if you can't make it using your device, then do it using any other android device.
When you have made the goldcard come back here, and i'll guide through the rest :0)

Done. I made a gold card previously...hopefully it still works. Once it's made into a goldcard, is it always a goldcard?

Actually... re-checking your info - you don't need a goldcard..
No need for sdcard either...
Download this sappimg.zip :
http://rapidshare.com/files/437924840/sappimg.zip
Then run this command from a command prompt:
Code:
fastboot flash zip sappimg.zip
Make sure that the sappimg.img is in the same folder as fastboot.exe
The sappimg.zip is the newest rogers update... the same version as you currently have...
No need for goldcard or anything :0)
if you get any troubles, then post here the outcome of the command prompt..
When all is done, you should be back on stock 2.1...
From there you follow my guide (check my signature) to root and get custom recovery.
Good luck

hi guys,
i got the same problem, here im my country nobody knows how to solve (im from brazil)

my PC recognizes my phone but it is not allowing me to flash anything.
When I try "adb devices" it gives error: no device attached but fastboot command works fine.
i have my first goldcard.
this forum is my last hope... if anyone know how to proced, help me pls

I had the same problem as a few of you and after trying everything I eventually decided to try installing SAPPIMG.zip from hboot and it worked fine. Took me a while to find the correct SAPPIMG but you should be able to find it on the forums here. You have to put the SAPPIMG.zip on the root of your SD card from your computer, put it in the phone, boot into fastboot and go into hboot and it'll load the SAPPIMG file. If you have the wrong SAPPIMG it'll usually give you an error when trying to install it'll say someting like update failed or wrong device ID. It took me about 4-5 different SAPPIMG to find the correct one for my phone.

Hmm... try this:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
The above will set the device into RUU mode.
Then download the official rogers RUU..
Run it and it should install just fine... no need for goldcard or sdcard..
I hope this will work.

ummm, use universal androot to get root. then just use terminal emulator to flash a custom recovery! You can find the .apk online or on the market (if it is still there)
You have a perfected spl so no fastboot access.

thank for the tip but is that method for the old mt3g only. im stuck at the boot screen and it wont boot up. do you think because there norom were flash that why it didn't boot up

i tried sappimg image again it still got the same error. i would like to know what is the best method for creating a gold cards. the type of card i was using is a kingston 2gb micro sd

please help root or unroot my phone i been doing research but still no progress try alot of tutorial

This has happened to me before and what i did is I looked for another sappimg.zip file on Google. The one on the link you said would always tell me that the main version was older.

Easy with this. You load the wrong sappimg and your phone will turn into a paperweight. Your either doing something wrong in the goldcard process or your SD card isn't going to work. Got another to try and use? Your in a boot loop because your using the wrong radio BTW.

You are VERY close to BRICK your device...
Follow my instructions, and you will be safe... READ ALL BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING
You have a very bad spl/radio combo.
But luckily, you have eng spl, so we can still fix this!
1) Flash the 1.76.2007 spl to match the radio or else we will no be able to do ****!
Download my fastboot commander tool (from my signature, magic version).
Boot into fastboot mode
In the first tab(using the tool), select SPL, and navigate to "magicFiles" folder and find the spl version above (tagget "NewSPL").
Flash ONLY the SPL.
Reboot and verify that your hboot info changed.
2) Flash the right radio/spl/recovery combo.
Download this file:
http://rapidshare.com/files/432674806/MagicFenderCombo.zip
Still using the tool and the first tab, make sure that you now fill all 3 options. The "Flash all" button should be enabled by now. Go ahead and push it. If all goes well, then the only thing left is to flash a good rom using the custom recovery. I recommend cm6 to start with.
So, download this:
Download rom: http://cyanogenmod-mirror.local.host.name/ds/cm/stable/update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip
Download gapps: http://cyanogenmod-mirror.local.host...020-signed.zip
Reboot into recovery and flash the rom + gapps right after each other. Now reboot into system and enjoy.
IF you get ANY problems flashing the radio or spl... then DO NOT reboot the device, DO NOT close the tool. Take all the text from "Actual output" tab and post it here and wait for help. Or you could try to reflash ( some times the second time it works). Or try to flash only the parts which failed!
NB: Make sure that you have FULL battery before you continue!
Good luck

Why the FU*K are you flashing the spl on the radio partition...
Flash spl/hboot image on spl/hboot partition!!!!!!!!!!

that was my fault loading the wrong file but thank you for helping me out now my phone work again

I swore that he was going to brick his phone.
You need to be more careful while flashing a radio and spl. For your phone you can only have 1 radio and 1 spl (perfected spl). No other option. Anything else and you could end up having a bad day.

If you are getting Main Version Is Older when using the sappimg.nbh you will need to replace it with the 2.53.707.2 sappimg zip file. I cant post links yet so just google it. Dont extract it just leave it as a zip and make sure its just named sappimg. as long as you made your gold card correctly and your computer reads it, this will get you back to where you need to be to root.

HTC Magic 32B, unable to boot or flash from fastboot

I tried to upgrade my Radio with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9055790&postcount=1
Now (after 6 hours) I'm frustrated and I dont know what to do.
My Phone says:

I can enter fastboot, but I'm not able to boot into the recovery. Also I'm not able to flash a new recovery, radio, hboot, boot, system or userdata.
If i try to flash something:
"INFOsignatur checking... FAILED (remote: signatur verify fail)"
If i try to boot into recovery:
"downloading 'boot.img' ... OKAY [1.703s]
booting...."
but nothing happens.
If i try to flash SAPPIMG.nbh it stucks on flashing radio.
Im really really frustrated and I hope someone can help me.

I've never seen that radio before. What I can tell you is that your going to have to downgrade using the goldcard method. You'll have to borrow a friends Android phone to make the goldcard. I'm sure by the time you get it made someone will be able to give more in depth directions or I'll be back in front of a computer.

I have created a Goldcard, but with a CID from a German forum, because non of my friends have a Android Phone
I tried to orange-1.58.73.2.nbh and sappimg.nbh from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9055790&postcount=1 but nothing works. Both stuck on "INFOstart image[radio] flushing ..."

You can't use the CID from another user. The CID is unique to the SD card, you need the CID for the SD card your using.

Try putting the sappimg.nbh on your sdcard and then holding down the volume down + the power button and it should ask you to install and just press the scroll ball and it should fix your problem.

No its Bricked ;-)
But i found someone with an JTAG Interface.
Plz close

i am having similar trouble after:
* Format the Micro SD Card to FAT32.
* Copy the SAPPIMG.nbh file to the Micro SD Card.
* With the phone off, hold volume down and press power to boot into the bootloader.
* Once the bootloader is loaded, press power to install.
* Press the trackball to continue and press talk+menu+power to reboot.

You need a goldcard.

I also have a magic (32B) and with the 1.33.0013d SPL I had a similar problem.
You need to read the first message of the 2708+ thread to the end to read how to flash to an old SPL (but you found that already).
I can only guess why you should try a G1 SPL or an 32A SPL on your phone since it seems like a recipe to brick the device. I reverted back to the SPL available from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019
Since I had previous experience with the 2005 engineering-version I went for that one.
Did you also try to 2708+ to upgrade to Gingerbread?

All you did was correct but as DonJuan692006 said, you need a goldcard.
If you are running ubuntu you'll find a very simple tutorial (but in french) looking for didier.misson.net and golcard with google.
Good luck.

I have a sappimg.zip that is actually trying to flash except it starts to hang when it updates the radio. It will sit there for forever. I have left it going and the battery will die before it will finish updating the radio. I have been at this for quite a while now and really need help. I know I am supposed to be able to find a matching radio and spl. I tried flashing just the eng spl first, doesn't really do anything it just goes back to hboot. I have tried using fast boot and because it s-on it says no remote. I have tried going into the RUU usb mode and tried booting a recovery but it just sits there. It says it's booting but nothing happens. I did flash a recovery but that was with a 2.22 radio so I am guessing that the new radio that shouldn't be on there is messing it up. What else can i do here? I really need help!

I can't get access through android commander. I have been trying to flash everything under the sun and when I do flash the proper sappimg.zip it just hangs when updating the radio and it hangs at like 97 percent and will not go any further no matter how long it's there.
To sum up. Followed this tutorial before and that's how I got here in the first place, because I thought I was following the right instructions to be able to get ginger yoshi but it turns out, my phone isn't what I thought it was.

Did you create goldcard properly?

HAAAAAAAA! SCREW ALL THAT .
I have the Mytouch 3G 1.2 (3.5mm Headphone jack) .
it was running android 2.2.1 and i used SuperoneClick root, then downloaded Rom Manager changed my Recovery and flashed ezGingerbread .
SIMPLE!

That's great and all but I would like help. I do not care about how awesome you are. I was unable to do superoneclick for some reason when I downgraded to 1.6. Nothing would work right. Rom manager would force close, universal androot would say that the phone was rooted and superoneclick would say that it wasn't.
Stuck in Ruu can't flash anything. Gets stuck on radio flash. Help. Accidentally flashed 32b board and chip files.
I did create a goldcard properly because i've used it over and over again without fail. It just hangs when flashing and doesn't finish flashing the radio.

Did you ever read tutorial?
The steps to follow:
1) Read and understand the above.
2) Rename special_sappimg.zip to sappimg.zip
3) Make sure that you have a working goldcard and flash the sappimg.zip
The device should reboot by it's self. If you get any error saying model id is no correct, you have a faulty goldcard. Also, please verify that the spl has changed to 1.76.xxxx. (flash by holding volume decrease (-) together with power and wait for the hboot to automatically pick up the file)
4) Once the device has rebooted, you should rename the 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip to sappimg.zip and flash it using the goldcard. This image should give you an eng spl. If you device will not accept it/or you wish to have stock image, then rename the stock sappimg(2.10.531.4) to sappimg.zip and flash it the same way as the special sappimg.
5) If you indeed get the eng spl, then you have full control and we can do almost anything we want. Just post here and we can take it from there. The eng spl has the following nr: 1.33.2010.
If you flashed the stock sappimg, then you only need to root and flash custom recovery and you should almost be there... also here post the progress and we will take it from there.
After item 2 you must flash in hboot-mode (Turn off, then turn on by pressing VolumeDown + Power)
Please read always carefully, try to understand process and don't rush...

I cannot follow those steps to the T. I am stuck in RUU mode on my phone. So I cannot get back to the Hboot. I have been trying to flash everything with fastboot commander. I have a working gold card, just can't get back to where i can access it via phone. When I did have it working though, it was giving the same problem. It would just hang when trying to update the radio.
I have read and understood this particular tutorial. Infact it was the first I found after this particular problem started to occur. However, when I renamed and tried the files it would give the same error with the gold card. I have even, formatted and redone the gold card, which has always worked. Now I am stuck in Ruu and I do not think i can get access back to the bootloader.

Turn phone off (Remove battery, wait 2-3 minutes, place it back)
Turn on by pressing and holding Volumedown + power
What happening in this moment?

It goes straight to Ruu mode, no matter what i press or what buttons I hold down or no matter how long I leave the battery out.

Try to run (it should escape from ruu-mode)
Code:
fastboot oem boot
Then turn off (cause phone is bootlooping) and load into hboot-mode

i got a bunch of text in the command prompt when I tried to run it that made it look like it was going to do it, then it just hung and did nothing.
Still in Ruu mode.

Once you are stock in ruu mode, you kinda fu*ked.
You need hboot and goldcard to fix the problem.
There is a command called: fastboot oem resetRUUflag
Try it out, but most likely it is not permitted...

hmm if by now you havnt been able to access your phone, then maby perhaps you can do so by the commmand "" fastboot oem boot""

i have the same problem with this. STUCK IN RUU MODE!!!!
BUT I can open my phone via "fastboot oem boot". The only problem is whenever my phone has been turned off, it STUCKED in RUU MODE, so I need to go through "fastboot oem boot" again just to open my phone.

T-Mobile Mytouch 3G Bootloader Issue

Hi.
I have been trying to use the RUU since last night and I cannot get it to work on my device. Of course I know the drill of re-locking the bootloader via fastboot and trying to use the RUU again.
The problem is, the bootloader always refuses to re-lock. I have tried to search around for fixes but I have gone nowhere. I cannot install CWM as well. What's wrong?
All my drivers are installed and working. But I cannot get the bootloader to lock again.
Here is the fastboot details of my phone.

When I try to use fastboot oem lock this is what I get...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.005s]
finished. total time: 0.005s
I found a thread similar to this error but it does not give a solution at all.
Please help.
EDIT: I also found something unusual. When I try to boot to recovery mode (adb or button combo) it does not display the options as with other recovery modes on other phones. It's stuck on displaying a phone with an exclamation mark. Nothing else...
