Few days ago, a lil' goddam' birdy started to tickle my feelings repeating over and over again "reflash your stupid phone!!!"... So that's what I did.
Unfortunately it seems that I picked up the only one bad combination out there. A 2.1 Rogers over CM6. That's how I end up starring at my new HTC-magic shaped-brick showin' a sweet, white, batery hunger display on wich was written smth like 1.76.0010 S-ON boot and 3.22.20.17 Radio. It was like I could see a lower phrase of smth like "you are so screwed!!! ".
Anyway...
1st I used Magic_Rogers_3.54.631.3 again wich started to upload files on my phone but in the end it returned a bad signatures error. The same thing hapened when i tried to flash over fastboot.
Then I downloaded the official default ROM for my phone (TIM 32A). Wich obviously din't work since older versions of RUU updater were using adb to connect with the phone, and that's how I was stuck in RUU bootloader without any recovery or anything.
However. Since Rogers application was able to upload on the device, but the files couldn't be written because of the perfected SPL, it was clear that is using fastboot instead of adb for this, so I thought would be a good ideea, to flash via fastboot the orginal files wich could contain phone's signatures. Evrika!!! It WORKED!!! my brick is now a fully functional 32A Magic!
For this, you might want to download your default official software from HTC website using phone's serial number or from here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=659403 (since I'm kinnda' new I cannot post links )
Starting the RUU aplication, (no need for the phone to be plugged, we are only stealing some files right now) generates 2 temporary folders wich you can find here:
Vista / Win7 - %Root%\Users\%currentuser%\AppData\Local\Temp
WinXP - %Root%\Documents and Settings\%currentuser%\Local Settings\Temp\
Go to this location and search for the folder wich contains rom.zip (clean your temp folders before extracting... you don't wanna search for a file a whole day - especially if you started some RUU aplications before this one). This is the file you need. Unzip this file and fastboot flash your files from here.
Another method is to download the attached archive wich contains the RUU aplication from Rogers 2.1, unzip it and put the rom.zip in its folder then start it to flash your phone.
Hope this helped you, you allready know the disclaimer ****... "I'm not responsible for any damage you might do to your phone, bla bla"
Sorry for posting this into development section. If a moderator can move it to general it would be nice

You know what... this can actually be considered Development... sorta. It's productive enough to be. Certainly informative enough for inexperienced users. Although nothing was actually developed it's kind of in between.
Here's what I'll do, I'll move it to General but with a 90 day re-direct so it'll be in both for three months. Afterwards it'll be defaulted to General only.
Many Thanks!
My phone has been softbricked for almost a week before I came across this. I couldn't extract the rom.zip so I downloaded your archive and copied the rom over and it worked. Thank you!
Just a note to anyone else, I have a Rogers Magic and I used the rom generated by the RUU_Sapphire_Rogers_WWE_2.17.631.2_release_signed_NoDriver.exe. My phone did hand up when it tried to update the radio. The phone screen went to a dark blue and the progress bar stopped rising after about 5 minutes. I unplugged the phone, rebooted it and plugged it back in, the RUU attempted the update a second time and succeeded.
Hey my cust id is 038 Airtel India for which only 1 rom is available 3.05.720.3 India
When I try to extract using this I get 2 files rom.zip and rom1.zip and if i copy both of them and do as you stated above it gives 140 bootloader version older error and if i run the 2.53.. roms not for my cid I get cust id error despite having a goldcard

Ok, try this. Extract Rom1.zip to a folder. Open rom.zip and extract ONLY radio.img and hboot_7200A_1.76.0009_091208 to the same place where you extracted rom1.zip (EG - Rom1 folder). Now delete both archives, and make a zip archive containing the files from Rom1 folder (files only without the folder itself). Name this archive rom.zip, put it into your RUUapp downloaded from here (before that, don't forget to delete rom1.zip + rom.zip from there), and try flash it like that. If this does not work, try to extract boot_special.img as well and repeat the procedure. But i think this boot special file is responsible for your error since i don't find it on any other package. I don't know if HTC zip files have special atributes or they are pure zip files. Maybe some one could tell us about this.
@andreas - Who are you asking? I used TIM official RUU since I have a TIM 32A. Try using the exact rom from your phone brander.
Cheers!

If that is the rom, it gives customer id error despite gold card.
That's the rom allright. I'll upload it later and post the address here.
If both methods give you sig error try using EU zip.

It's pieced into 3 parts, so use programs like Winzip or 7-zip and extract as normal.
