Hi guys, chiming in into the Android forums!
Got myself a 32A boarded and thus HTC branded Magic in Switzerland. Worked fine but at some point I couldnt resist rooting that thing. Tried all the ROMs, didnt really like any of them (guess it's too soon...) and wanted to go back. I have a nandroid system.img, boot.img and data.img at hand. I first erased the device and then flashed the stuff back onto the device. That was the day before yesterday.
Yesterday, after roughly 12h of use it suddenly (didnt do anything spectacular, I think I checked the time...) froze/crashed on me, rebooted and got stuck at looping the HTC logo which flies in and playing the HTC boot tune all the time.
Duh, must have done something wrong. Went home, re-erased everything, reflashed all the images except data.img since it was kinda "old" by now. Device worked beautifully... until a moment ago. I was about to pick a new ringtone when it froze on me, rebooted and got stuck looping the flying in HTC logo and the HTC boot tune... after roughly 12h of use, again!
So here I'm sitting now thinking WTF?! I mean it boots just fine when I wipe the device. But stalls when I restore data.img. If I wipe now and configure the thing from scratch, I could bet my ass it will stall again at 5am, which would be 12h from now...
My exact config:
Default HTC ROM (restored from nandroid backup)
Amun_RA's RAv1.1.2 recovery
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H (so the engineering SPL)
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17

Anyone got some help? I mean its kind of unpractical to have a device which thinks it's got to magically stall every 12h...

Just reflash it with a ROM that you know that has worked before without any problems. One thing that I would do also is flash the restore.img before flashing a new ROM:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

One time a ROM corrupted my recovery partition causing me a problem where no ROM would work.

Hey all, I am having some trouble with my Magic and I was hoping the community might be able to help me out.
I have a rooted Rogers Magic, and I have no sounds, system wide. No ringer, no notifications, no sound in youtube etc. The earpiece volume in a call works, but speakerphone doesn't. Unfortunately, I bought the phone and immediatey rooted and modded it without first testing that the device worked, so I'm not sure if the problem I'm having was a pre-existing problem, or something that came from my modding.
When I boot into fastboot mode, this is what is shown on the screen:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A ENG S-OFF H

For a Recovery platform I am using RA-magic-v1.3.2H
I have had this problem with Cyanogen 4.2.4, Cyanogen 4.2.5, HoFo Community 3.0.7, and with the base Rogers files that Nandroid backed up before I loaded anything custom.
Any thoughts on how to fix this? I remember back from my WinMo days that flashing the wrong radio could cause sound problems on certain devices, but I'm too new to Android to really know.
Finally, if there's no software fix and it seems that the hardware is to blame, is there a way to restore the phone to a virgin state to get it serviced?
Thanks in advance for any help or ideas.
More Info
I have determined that the sound issues I am having with my Magic are not caused by faulty (or at least COMPLETLY faulty) hardware. It seemes that after a few complete restarts and shutdowns, I am able to coax sound out of the device on both the base Rogers ROM which I am restoring through Nandroid backup, and within the HoFo Community ROM 3.0.7.
The strange thing is that after a few minutes of playback in the HoFo ROM, the phone suddenly goes silent, sometimes in the middle of playing a sound, and only a complete restart will fix the problem.
I am also wondering why the device shows as SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN in the fastboot and hboot menus?
I think I solved it. Seems I may not have been wiping ALL data when changing ROMs. Prowess wiping technique seems to be key. ;-)
so i have a mytouch 3g with the perfected SPL (i believe ... says HBOOT-1.33.0006 when I check the version with back+power) and I've been using AmonRa's 1.6.2 rom for quite some time now.
I have been looking to upgrade to the Eclair roms floating around the forums which states that it requires a newer SPL so I downloaded the Engineering SPL 1.33.2010 along with the new rom
My question is (after some research) can i just boot into recovery mode and flash the new SPL that way? or is the only way the goldcard way?
You can just flash from the recovery images, but make sure the spl is completed and then he upgrade let me know how it goes
thanks, i'll give it a go and hope it doesn't brick
OK so i got the ENG SPL to install with no problems, but I can't get the rom to install
i'm trying to use Eugene's v2.3 rom found here http://alldroid.org/viewtopic.php?f=130&t=515
it flashes, says install complete, but upon reboot, it loads the mytouch splash page, then about a minute or 2 later, it loads this strange screen with colors that form an X in the middle of the screen and keeps doing that ... i've never seen that before so I flashed back to the 1.6.2 ion rom i used prior
anyone have any ideas?
thats the boot screen...the first time i got it I had to wait 45min for it to finish loading the rom....restarts (after first boot) are quicker....just be patient...I suggest flashing + rebooting then going to sleep...wake up in the morn...if its still going then u have a prob.
This is the screen ur getting right?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAFSEsEZnnE&feature=player_embedded
yeah, tahts the screen...scared the crap out of me...doesn't make any sense to use an "X" as the boot screen as "X"s are a negative symbol ... i did wait it out, however, took about 5 minutes, but it worked!
I am now running on the 1.33.2010 ENG SPL with eugene's 2.1 rom and it is quite flawless (minus the fact that there's no camera). Hope the camera fix comes out soon!
Hi, everyone:
My phone is Vodafone G2 Magic 32A, a problem has confused me for a period. When i tried 1.6, the problem occurred.
With any 1.5 rom, the phone work well. But with 1.6, 2.0,2.1 rom, the phone always auto reboot or crashed, whether i use the phone or not, and i think the reason is not a specific operation or software. I have tested all the rom i can find, and change the spl and radio for several times, but the problem still have. And the same problem also confuse other people. We have a group to discuss how to solve the problem, we all think the reason is not the hardware error, because the 1.5 version always work fine.
Here is some infomation of my G2 phone

Thanks.
Same problem!
HTC G2
, is anybody can help us?
Or teach us a way to find the really problem
for example: a program running in our Magic phone, when the phone crash or reboot, it will record some useful infomation.
I had a similar problem, my G2 freezed totally when used other roms.
In my case, it seemed to be the kernel. Using 2.6.27 worked fine.
so vanilla android 1.5 worked, and GyD and MyHero worked, but not others.
When I ran MyHero, I also noticed that my CPU didn't seemed to scale.
I ended up substiting my phone for another of the same model.
using "adb logcat" didnt give me any information, the error did never get logged.
Hey, got the. Same. Phone running on. Android. 2.1 for a while now
You have too flash the. 32b rom. And. Then. Before booting the 32a port. Witch. Provided. On the same site where you downloade the rom from
I had. The same problem,
Good luck,
hi, i have 32A spl1.33.2010 recovery 1.5.2H radio 3.20.22.17

Hello, iv got similar problem, on 1.5 work fine too but on on ROMs above 1.5 reboot my phone when i i use my camera i can do 1 picture but when i want to delete it phone just reboot, on google goggles too. I try Cyanogen ROM, SuperD and 1 ROM on android 2.x version. Someone maybe have same problem and fixed it ? or someone know how to fix it and btw i wiped data i try to install same ROM several times too and nothing helped
I'm having big problems with my 32A and any 1.6 ROM. Never tried changing the SPL though, but I've tried anything else: partitioning, installing different ROMS, almost every combination of wipe/reset and so on.
How could changing the SPL affect stability of a ROM?
Problem solved, thanks to craven667 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542555)
Also I would like to thank malybru, for trying to push me to the right directions. Thanks guys, I really appreciate your help.
Hello, I have no idea whats going on now in my phone, I have HTC Sensation, before I used Android Revolution HD 6.6.x but then I was curious to try CM9, so I just downloaded ROM, performed basic wipe steps, and flashed ROM, everything was fine, but later I decided to go back to ARHD, so this time I downloaded version 6.6.2 XE and Firmware package 3.32.401.x, what I did was, flashed firmwware package, then super wipe, then flashed ARHD, but after reboot I'm on HTC logo bootloop, tried to flash many times, even tried to flash CM9 again, but got the same problem. My bootloader looks like this:
-Revolutionary-
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.1100
RADIO-11.22.3504.07_M
OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131
eMMC-boot
I also tried few different things from searching forum, but none worked for me so far.
What would be the best solution to get back on Stock or Any other ROMs ?
Thanks.

Hi,
I would download the firmware and ARHD ROM again,check the md5,and re-install.
Probably a bad download.
I tried many times, also I tried different roms (even gingerbread) and still nothing, stuck on HTC logo bootloop, I just have no idea what to do.
P.S Can its be something "fast boot" related ?
Because when its boots up, after plain HTC logo shows up "Quietly Brilliant" for less then a second, and that's it, starts the same loop again.

Hi,
Gingerbread will not work unless you downgrade the firmware to 1.17 (HERE)
Have you not got a nandroid you could restore?
I did downgrade (did everything as its should be done) but anyway I'm getting bootloop...
I keep trying again and again, but without any success. I'm familiar with flashing custom firmwares, etc. (its my third phone over a year) and never got such problems.. I still have a hope to fix it somehow.
But thanks anyway, I really appreciate your help.
Hello, thanks for your time to read in advance.
Background
I've had my first smartphone (HTC Desire HD) for about 3 year and decided it was getting old and slow even though it had Cyanogemod 7.2 successfully loaded on it. So recently I bought a new one online for about $150 from China. Looks identical, weighs the same however there are very small details that still make me doubt its authenticity. I'm 90% sure its legit even though the IMEI is fine. I ran the new one through the same process (AAHK) I did with the old one to install Cyanogenmod.
The HBOOT details:
ACE PVT ENG S-OFF RL
HBOOT - 0.85.2425
MICROP - 0438
RADIO - 26.03.02.26_M

NO ROM LOADED
NO RECOVERY IMAGE (TeamWin originally)
The problem
Right now, this phone may be bricked (completely dead?), I am hoping its not. I have no ROM loaded on it so I cannot enable USB Debugging and now there is no recovery image either. When I am in HBOOT menu, I select the recovery option, phone does a reboot and shows this:
http://imgur.com/YsCGTSQ
What I did to break it
Initially I had CM 11 loaded and after a while it started to show errors. So I decided to go back and install CM 7.2 the more stable option.
Once I did this, the CM 7.2 ROM now somehow in the process of being loaded copied all the additional apps I had installed on the CM 11 ROM with it. Now I had CM 7.2 with apps that I should have manually had to install.
I tried several times to clear the cache and Dalvik cache through the TeamWin recovery. Then tried to reload CM 7.2. Same problem.
I then ran phone through AAHK (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2367322) again which I believe fried my phone. Or I could have also done a factory reset then ran the AAHK. Not exactly sure, it was a while ago when I was doing then.
What can I do to fix the phone?
Anyone with the time and patience please help. If you need any clarifications ask away.
TIA
