I have a HTC Magic which i got from amazon just recently. I'm guessing that its from Etisalat since their logo boots up with the phone. Anyways, I'm have trouble entering recovery mode. After holding the home+power button for it to turn on, it just sits on Etisalat boot screen. I have no idea what to do. :'( On a side note, what do you think would be the best custom rom to install?
Just need SPL-info from your phone
1. Turn phone off
2. Turn on by pressing and holding Back + Power

I found this thread but it seems the question is still unanswered. My HTC Magic also came from etisalat company (I bought it from Newegg.com in US though). The problem are 1. the phone is in Arabian language and I found no way to change it 2. there is NO Android Market App!! 3. I can't delete or download new applications. All applications the phone has are ones for Arabian people.. like praying app.. !!
I can't find Android Market application.. that's weird, isn't it? This phone is not smart, it's like a dead phone. I can't download apps.
I did what you suggested, I got this:

hboot-1.33 0010 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
Radio-3.22.20.17
Jun 2 2009 17.28.28
I'm thinking.. should I just replace the phone with the manufacturer? If this phone has been unlocked in a wrong way. Or I should play around with the root and try to upgrade the phone. Most of the comments and instruction online are for T-mobile ones. Seriously, I don't know if all HTC magic (like T-mobile and Etisalat) would have the same hardware.
P.S. I bought this unlocked phone to use with a prepaid sim card without data plan.
Please advice!
i have the same problem

Hi all
This is my first post, please be gentle. I have tried searching and read lots but have got now where very fast. Firstly thanks to everyone putting out all the guides and working on the updates and such. I have a HTC magic vodafone google UK
I tried rooting my phone using: http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?t ... ic_Rooting
then I loaded recovery RAv1.1.2 which worked well again
I think its at this step where I went wrong. I then tried to load up the fatality Scene onto my phone and now it does not boot. looking back i missed the fact it was for 32A and not 32B and when i try to restore nandroid the same problem of only vodafone splash screen comes up and hangs until battery is removed
I can access recovery by holding home and power, i can load roms from sd card but on reboot it hangs on vodafone. So I have to take the batery out. I can still access fast boot when putting battery back in and back and that has got me no where aswell
on fastboot it says

RADIO-2.22.19.26I
APR 9 2009, 23:30:40
All I wanted to do is to be able to access voice dialing, multi touch and saving apps on SD card, anything else is a bonous. Now any use apart from a paper weught would be good
any advice appreciated!!!
please help!!!
ok well if you can still acess fastboot then you shoulb be able to load recovery image by using
fastboot boot name-of-recovery-image.img
and then flash the phone again using a 32B rom... Make sure of course that you first download the rom and place it on the sdcard using a card reader or something!
I have learned the error of my ways. Basically I should have read more and try and understand what the actual process was doing rather than blindly following instructions. Im all up and running and have to say many thanks to every one working on this, there is actually more than enough info and support if you look for it!
Hi,
I got a Vodafone Magic (UK).
It was on Android 1.6, so I reverted it back to 1.5 using the .zip file on theunlockr's site (After trying a failing at using eMagi's/Neoblade's .nbh file). I then tried to use Recovery Flasher to flash a new recovery, yet everytime I tried to flash it, I would only get a red vodafone screen where my recovery screen should be. So then I checked the fast-boot screen where it said all the details for my phone. And it read Sapphire PVT 32B HIP S-ON H which as you all know is wrong as (as far as I know) all 32B magic's should be G.
It was definetely a 'G' before yet must of somehow changed when reverting to android 1.5.
So after failing flashing a new recovery (from Recovery flasher/ Terminal Emulator/ Fastboot) I tried 'fastboot boot <amon ra recovery image>.img' - H version and sure enough it booted.
So my problem is that I know i've got a 32B handset which thinks its 32a.
(BTW I am in the process of rooting). How do you guys think I should proceed? Also can you tell me what precautions to take to make sure I don't brick my phone?
Thanks guys!

Someone help please!
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
Radio ?
I think your problem is due to your 3.x radio.
Try to flash a 2.x radio, either 2.22.19.26I you can find in HTC's developer website, or the newer 2.22.23.02 radio you can find in the G1 dev forum.
DO NOT FORGET TO CHECK RADIO COMPATIBILITY WITH YOUR HBOOT
To get your Magic fully 32B - you must flash official RUU for 32B Magics ... or ...
this nbh for UK Vodafone.

p.s. nbh for UK, so you probably need create goldcard as you have Vodafone NZ
Goldcard avoids Customer ID check
Hello,
i have a big problem. I got a new HTC Magic from Vodafone Austria. This one is a
PVT 32A Device
HBOOT-1.76.0009 (SAPP1000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.08.29
I tried to install a Perfect SPL but i made a big mistake.
1.) I installed androod and rooted my phone
2.) I installed ROM Manger
3.) After i launched this app it asked me which recovery should be installed. I selected Magic
After this i tried to flash a Engineer hboot but now the phone only reboots after the HTC MAGIC Logo is displayed on the screen. This reboot is in a loop and no fastboot or recovery is working. Only when i press on the joybutton the device goes black and a blue led is lighting. I also have no CID and no Gold Card for my phone. I read so many posts about bricked phones but i found no solution. Someone said it should work with an SAPPIMG.NBH on a FAT32 formated SD Card. Other one said, i should use a Gold Card and but a SAPPIMG.ZIP on it. So i tried to make a Gold Card with my HTC Desire but this also doesn't work.
So has someone a solution for this problem? I can't send it back to HTC because i have no invoice.
Sorry for my bad english.
Thanks for your help
regards
Take out the battery...
Put it back in, hold the back button + power...
Do you see the fastboot?
if not... your out of luck

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:

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.
Information from my device:

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.

You have a PVT 32B board instead of a PVT 32A board. Sorry but I think its bricked.
What manual did you follow? Google did not find this file "vf_magic_frg83d_aim1_nohboot_s_2.zip" even.
Did you try remove battery and place it back and then loaded into mode?

If you can not load into any mode - you have a *BRICK*
It's impossible to restore via software methods
Search for repair-shop and ask master about JTAG (it is hardware with ability to flash SPL directly)
Will do bro.
Thanks for help
