Hi.
First, to keep a long story short here is the info on my Magic:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17

Second, here's what's _working_:
* No problem in booting into fastboot-mode
* Can easily start RAv:s recovery with "fastboot boot recovery.img" and get to its meny with all the options (using RAv-1.2.1H)
* Can run adb-commands, getting the shell etc
Thirdly, my actual problem(s):
* Whatever sdcard im using I cant get at it (won't mount, tried 4 different cards, all of them have worked before!)
* I dont have a block device called mmcblk0 in /dev/block as I see others have..
* If I try to mount, I get this error: "mount: can't find /dev/block/mmcblk0 in /etc/fstab"
So.. Im humbled before you. Its not even big words, I really really need my precious phone back, and I hope that you can help me. Very much so.
Now, Ive tried perhapse 10-15 different things via all the threads Ive read on XDA and other forums. Ive tried to do a "fastboot flash hboot hboot.img" with different SPL:s, always get the error
$ fastboot-mac flash hboot hboot.img
sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... OKAY
writing 'hboot'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
$
Im stumped.
//N
Forgot - I do have nandroid backups with all the *.img and Ive tried to flash_image them back. It works, they are all accepted but no go in booting, just hangs on the HTC-logo (waited about 30 mins).
Did you try an wipe?

If you mean within RAv-recovery-menu, yes.
So.. No input?
writing 'hboot'... INFOsignature checking...
Verify FAIL
..seems to be the issue, right? That I cant reflash another SPL. But since Im still able to go into fastboot and also flashboot into the RAv-recovery-image there should be a way to fix this.
Im hoping?
You have perfect SPL. You can't flash anything to it currently. HAve you erased your ROM? Can you boot in to the phone normally?

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.

thank you guy for helping. can you guy provide me a link to the right sappimg.zip for my phone and how could i make a gold card if my phone doesn't boot up. I would like to know is there a way of making a gold card without a phone.

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.
As you probably all know, the Advanced Hack Kit (a.k.a Hack Kit) has been retired for good yesterday. Does that mean that you can not achive root privilege anymore? NO
NO, YOU DON'T NEED S-OFF TO FLASH ROMS....
Getting root acces
Unlock your bootloader with HTCDEV or using this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133336
Then flash CWM or 4ext recovery in fastboot per this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30020025&postcount=7 and make a nand backup.
Then reboot into recovery and flash SU or SuperSU.
Reboot the device and voilá. You are done
IF YOUR BUILD VERSION IS NOT SUPPORTED TO UPDATE THEN:
Create a goldcard using this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970157 (you need a working phone for this)
Find a RUU which main version is supported and higher than yours and flash it in the PD98IMG.zip way, that is what is the goldcard for.
Re run the tool and you will be able to update the hboot and unlock it
The other way to achive root access is to flash a custom rom after unlocking the bootloader.
As you can notice root access is easy to be gained but not S-OFF. If you are skilled in android and working with terminal or cmd commands, then you can use this: http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=411
Flashing roms with an unlocked bootloader
Unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery (CWM or 4ext)
Download the rom zip file you are willing to flash to your PC.
Extract the the boot.img from inside the zip file (do not extract the whole rom)
Put the zip file in your sdcard.
Boot into recovery and do a full wipe (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, format system)
Flash rom (install zip from sdcard)
Reboot into bootloader again and plug the phone to the PC.
You need to be in fastboot usb (if you see HBOOT USB PLUG in the phone, just press power to toggle)
Open a cmd/terminal and navigate to where the boot.img file is located.
Type: fastboot flash boot boot.img If you don´t how to do that, watch this video (it is in spanish, thou you can follow it without listening to the instructions)
Reboot and now you should be enjoying your custom rom
Rooting without the Ace kit!
Hi there
Is there a thread or some sort of a step by step manual on how to install ROM with unlocked boot loader (s on) without ace advance hacking kit or perhaps a working method where you can install CWM on a Gingerbread. (I have successfully unlocked the boot loader on htcdev)
Thanks a million

Check the guide in my signature, you will find the information you need in there. Don't forget to flash the boot.img of the custom rom in fastboot. Enjoy...
Not registering to mobile network!
Thanks Glevitan
I found the manual and all went smooth and easy. I have one problem though.
The phone does not register to any mobile network. Any idea how to bypass that? It was originally locked on Orange UK network.
Thanks again

CM-7.2.0-ace.zip and then I tried aospX-1.0.0-MR1-DHD.zip.
I flashed it many times these two ROM's after Ace Kit without any issues. Also I noticed that every time I restart the phone it requires the network unlocking code. It is weird!
the pdf file to flash a custom rom/recovery, i dont understand.. how exactly do i flash a custom rom?? for example codefirex??
Hello,
I try to unlock my bootloader with HTCDEV or by using that tool but have some problems.
At step 8 (HTCDEV) Type in Command Prompt: fastboot oem get_identifier_token
After that you should see a long block of text. But I only get this:
<bootloader> [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.016s]

what's going wrong? what can I do?

Your build nor your hboot version support unlocking the bootloader. You can try updating the hboot manually by flashing 0029 hboot. However that is a dangerous process. Otherwise, you can create a goldcard and flash a RUU with a Main version that supports the update.

Phone: DHD, 3.20.502.52, ATT
I have successfully unlocked the phone (via HTCDev)
And have successfully rooted the phone.
I installed the ROM Manager and Titanium Backup.
I have the ADB drivers successfully installed on my computer.
I also have HTC Quick Root running on my computer.
I am NOT able to get the CWM Recovery installed on the phone. I always get a " /cache/recovery..." error.
I've searched and read a number of threads that have indicated the DHD Gingerbread is particularly difficult to get ROM Manager fully working. I tried the process outlined here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39016279), using the easyunlock tool. the script appears to run fine, i've even gone through the redundant step of putting the unlockcode received from htcdev into the tools directory and allowing the script to complete, which it appears to do fine. However, the script indicates the phone should execute some commands as a final step, at which point my phone is already sitting in the bootloader menu and does nothing.
I'm reasonably comfortable with ADB commands and the terminal emulator on the phone.
Can anyone help me understand why I'm failing and what I might do to get the CWM Recovery installed and get ROM Manager working?
My end goal is to install a more battery efficient ROM.

Hi everyone,
I have an HTC Magic 32B (SFR/Vodafone FR).
I updated hboot from 1.33.0013 to 1.33.0014G (*1) to be able to unlock the bootloader with htcdev unlock.
I unlocked it successfully using HTC official instructions.
Now I want to boot or install a custom recovery (recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img) and it doesn't work.
My hboot boot says :

Here it hangs, I must enter a fastboot reboot to regain the control on the device.
I don't know what's wrong here. Either from fastboot (usb) or ruu (usb) it don't work even if the bootloader is unlocked.
amonra recovery should install and work on this phone right ?
Currently I don't want to root or S-OFF the phone because I like to apply not too much modification on it.
Can you help me ?
Thanks for the attention, and even more if you can help
(*1) 1.33.0013 cannot be htcdev unlocked because it don't accept "fastboot oem get_identifier_token", that's why I updated to 1.33.0014G.
The update was given by htcdev.com through an RUU that didn't work because I started it from adp (phone started normally with usb debugging on) and for an unkown reason adp reboot bootloader didn't work, I made it work be starting RUU exe from fastboot directly.
I think my problem/solution may be related to the error : "remote: image type not support" when I try to flash recovery being in RUU mode.
From the official updates files (official ruu and fota) I've found that some images are not of the img format but the nb0 format. Maybe I need to flash an image that is of this format (nb0), the problem is that I have no idea how to find or convert amonra recovery image to this format...
If it is the problem, it is lame not to be able to flash img files ...
Also, one idea I had is that I have to flash files through an update.zip file rather than a single img. But it is a lot more complex to figure out (making a valid update.zip package)...
I'm quite lost and decieved about the HTC "unlock" (I think I'm not the first one to be) ... (And I don't want to brick my phone)

hi, i have same problem on my HTC Magic, from hboot 1.33.0014 i can`t do enything (flash new recovery or new rom or make RUU)
did u resolved that problem?
I must admit I've given up.
I recently bought myself a fresh Nexus 5...
Gold luck to you if you try to go on with the HTC Magic !
I decided to return my Sprint variant. So i needed to s-on and lock the bootloader. Problem is, now I have a 1 sec bootloop. Here's what I did. No idea how to fix the problem now.
Here's what I did in order to get the phone back to 100% stock to return it.
Changed the CID (incorrectly) to spsc_001 instead of spcs_001 but iddn't notice that.
Managed to get s-on but couldn’t get bootloader locked again.
reinstalled twrp and SU
booted up
installed sunshine and successfully s-off'd & locked
rebooted to download mode
Did a s-on using fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
rebooted and got a 1 sec bootloop
booted back into download mode and tried to factory reset via fastboot but can’t write the partition
tried to flash twrp, but got a security warning BL-unlocked
Now I'm stuck in a super short .5 second bootloop and can’t access stock recovery.
I try to install the ruu.exe and I get a Customer ID error. I try to install RUU.zip and I get a load_file: could not allocate -2146013644 bytes (which I assume means the partition is full but I can't even erase the userdata.) I also get a Security checking failed GT_CONNECT_FAIL on the download mode screen. I'm totally clueless as to how to get out of this situation. Anyone been here before or knows how to deal with this?
u failed to mention that you changed the CID at some point & when you changed it back, u set it wrong...
honestly, I think you're screwed...I don't know how you'll be able to fix this w/o being able to boot up, can't unlock bootloader, can't use fastboot to flash anything, can't flash RUU...somehow u need to get your CID back to SPCS_001...u may just have to return it in that condition & act ignorant.
any ideas @dottat @Captain_Throwback

You're right, but I had created this post before you guys pointed that out to me in the other thread. So, ya for the record i set the CID as spsc_001 instead of spcs_001 and then locked the bootloader. Great job on my part huh? Anyway, I was afraid you were going to say that I was screwed. I have never made a mistake like this before. So stupid, every letter counts. You'd think I'd have learnt that by now. I'm just hoping there's some really obscure and little-known fix for this that some xda angel will send my way. Hehe. Anyway, thanks for the follow-up OMJ.

Well did you attempt to see if HTC dev would give you an unlock token at least?

You might be able manually flash the ruu partitions one by one as well. Have you tried that?

Well, I had already unlocked the phone, rooted, installed other ROMs. When I couldn't unlock the GSM bands, I decided to return the phone so I tried to set the phone back to stock Sprint ROM. I did everything necessary except I put in the wrong CID before relocking the bootloader. So, yes, I had been provided the unlock code by HTC dev. The problem is that I now have a locked bootloader with an incorrect CID, which is why flashing RUUs isn't working.
I don't know if I can flash the RUU partitions with a locked bootloader or if that'll work with an incorrect CID but I'll try anything. Just not sure how to go about doing tht. I'd appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks for the recommendation.

Attempt to get a new fresh unlock token and tell me what HTC dev says?

try this, grab the stock boot.img from the firmware zip: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120723715
copy the boot.img into your sdktools folder
boot into download mode & try to manually flash it
fastboot flash boot boot.img
if that doesn't work, then try this
download the signed firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120723717
then try one or both of the flashing methods (although I suspect it wont work due to bad CID):
Flash Firmware via download mode (requires micro sd card)....
-rename firmware to 2PS6IMG.zip
-copy 2PS6IMG.zip to ext_sd card
-boot into download mode
-it will scan your ext_sd card, then ask if you want to start the update
-press volume up & let it do it's thing...
Flash Firmware via fastboot, no ext sd card needed...
-rename firmware to firmware.zip
-copy firmware.zip to your adb/fastboot/sdk folder
-boot into download mode
-plug in usb
-type fastboot oem rebootRUU
-when u see the black screen w/ HTC, type fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
-when it's done, type fastboot reboot

Actually I had tried that since this bootloop issue came up and was given a new .bin file without any problems. The problem is when i tried to flash the .bin file i got this:
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.024s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
(bootloader) flash unlocktoken
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] : /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/frp
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X00, disable unlock
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] oem unlock Turn Off!

Ok. So your only hope would be to get the ruu files extracted and to manually flash each partition by name. Get it to boot and enable oem unlock. Then flash new token and flash twrp and root and S-off via sunshine. Then fix the cid and do the rest the correct way.

Ok well, I tried these.

OK, this is slightly above my pay-grade. While I've read up on it it always seemed too complicated to try in the past, but this is as good a time as any to learn. Any way you can point me in the right direction on this? Not sure how to do this. I assume I should use the original sprint RUU.zip?

Use the original zip and the instructions/tools provided here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/tool-universal-htc-ruu-rom-decryption-t3382928) to extract your RUU into the basic partition files. Then flash each one using fastboot by name (eg fastboot flash system system_1.img etc)

Ok, will try that. You wouldn't happen to know where I can find the zip would you? I always used the exe cause that's what was on the htc site. Not sure where the actul RUU.zip file can be found. I assume I can use the one found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-10/development/ruu-sprint-htc-10-1-24-651-3-t3379257
And dottat, OMJ, thanks a lot for your help. It's people like you who make this community what it is.
Hey OMJ,
I grabbed one of your RUU.zip files from your repository on xda ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-10/development/ruu-sprint-htc-10-1-24-651-3-t3379257 ). The zip files, when extracted, turn into like 25 zips. When I extract 0.zip (in order to extract the entire array) I get a file corrupt errors for a few of the files. Am I missing something? I don't think the files are actually corrupt but this is a recurring error I've gotten on a number of different .zip files that have the string of multiple zips within them. Got any ideas?

u download the 2PS6IMG.zip? If so, u can't extract, it's encrypted. You would need to decrypt using the tool that dottat linked u
BUT, don't waste your time, aint gonna work, u already tried manually flashing the boot.img & u got the failed, s-on error
to confirm, from download mode, u used this cmd? fastboot flash boot boot.img if so, I'm fresh out of ideas....

odd...u can certainly try to flash the system.img but it will probably give the same error...I can the complete single system.img if u want me to upload or u can use the decrypt tool to decrypt the ruu & flash the individual system imgs

Would you mind sending the system file? I haven't managed to get the decrypt tool working yet.

Saw your post while looking for an sim unlock for my Japanese HTC 10.
Couldn't resist reading more about your problem tho.
First idea but quite dangerous if done incorrectly..
Try and see if you can change the cid in the ruu.exe with a HEX editor?
If that doesn't work, next try and change the cid of the ruu. zip.
Might be a long shot, but if the files cid's aren't encrypted it might work!
