HTC Magic keeps rebooting, unlike other posts, PLEASE HELP, thanks in advance! :):)

Hello All,
I've tried my hardest to search all over the forums but I still can't figure this out. I'm highlighting all I've tried to eliminate all that junk.
I have a 32A magic and I tried updating the ROM via this post.
I actually installed the radio 6.35.08.29 a little bit lower on the post using recovery mode while it was on my SD.
My device is rooted via theunlockr.com's one click rooting.
I think this was the problem because I was supposed to install the radio 6.35.10.18 because as soon as it was finished installing and rebooting, it keeps rebooting and doesn't even get past the splash screen
Here's where the issues start making me want to pull my hair out.
The good news (from what I'm hearing) is that I can still boot into fastboot and HBoot modes, but I can't get to restore mode at all
I'm getting better with the sdk so I'm understanding fastboot etc now but the main problem I believe is that it won't recognize my device.
I am on windows 7, but yes I've installed the latest drivers and device manager is recognizing it but when I try in cmnd to type adb devices it shows "List of devices attached" and it's emtpy.
I try to type something like adb bugreport and it comes back "error: device not found"
So clearly it doesn't seem to be recognizing the device.
What I was trying to do what push another radio to the device or something but at this point I have no idea what I am to do, especially since I can't get to restore!! Grr!
Any ideas?

p.s.
I thought I'd mention that I think this may be because I didn't (and cannot) select USB debugging from the menu as I can't load the device...
May be bricked... Oh well lol

update
It's only going into fastboot mode when plugged in now.

Thanks,
The files recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2, Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_6.35.10.18, as well as hboot-1.76.2007 are all in the tools folder.
For fastboot flash radio:
I keep getting:
sending 'radio' ... okay
writing 'radio' ... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
Same thing happens for flashing hboot and recovery as well...
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader
both work fine.
Like I said, thanks HUGE so far, but still not working...

i had a card adapter sou will need on let me know if it helped you out....also i formatted my sdcard before i started because phone had problems mounting card when in recovery

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530527
download the update.zip
fastboot boot recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2.img
(make sure you use sapphire unless you have the hero radio and spl installed otherwise the hero recovery is needed if you have the cursorsense radio which effectivly makes the magic a hero)
apply the update.zip
then you should be able to fastboot the prev instructions

just fyi make sure u check your radio on the fastboot screen before using the hero or sapphire recovery - make sure you use the proper one!

update
Hey all my problem was also with the spl as well for some reason. I also loaded the newest rogers update instead which the combination did the trick...

Help :( amons_ra 1.7.0

Hi i have just tried to flash amons new 1.7.0 recovery image from terminal amd got, read error at 0×0000000 out of memory. so then i exited terminal then tried to reboot into recovery with no success it just hanged on the g1 logo? but im able to reboot my phone normally? please can anybody help me
Sent from my HTC Dream using Tapatalk

if you can reboot your phone normally try doing it in the terminal emulator.
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img
Make sure you are root when you run this command.
But don't do this if your running Cyanogen 5.0.7. If your running Cyanogen you'll have to do the fasboot method.
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img to a location where fastboot can find it.
Boot your G1 into fastboot mode (boot while holding BACK)
Connect your G1 via usb to your pc/mac/...
fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your device)
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img
This is the same code for all versions on RA. Just change RA-dream-v1.7.0.img, to whatever image file you have for your specific phone.

thanks for the quick reply ill try it when i get home thanks again!

I have recently changed the SPL to version 1.33.2010 as well as the RECOVERY to RA-sapphire.v1.7.0 in my Magic following the procedure above but, although the flash command seems to finish properly and I can reboot into the new recovery just after the update, when I boot completely the phone (load Android) and reboot into recovery again, something changes the recovery version back to the original one (Android 2e), while the SPL is correct.
Do you have any idea of what may be happening?
This is the original config I had:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.2004 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
And this is the current one:

Phone will not boot to OS + no recovery mode.

History:
So I deleted at least one to0 many applications and now the phone will not boot to the OS. It freezes then restarts during the boot process.
I cannot get into the recovery mode with home+power. It just sits with the green myTouch logo until I give up holding it and it then tries to boot.
I can press back+home and get to the FASTBOOT screen.
Help:
Where exactly do I go from here? I cannot find my gold card and have no way of making one right now.
Thanks!

Anyone have any thoughts or know what files I need to work with fastboot?

Hello
Install first HTC Sync for Drivers (here). (if nothing works, go to pc -> device manager -> right click unknown device and uninstall. than install again.
After this try start your device with hold back+power button.
Go to cmd and write
1. cd C:\androidsdk\tools
2. fastboot devices
if you see your fastboot device than you can remote boot a recovery file. Get recovery here.
3. fastboot boot recovery.img
than restore your nandroid backup or install your rom.
i had exact same problem 1 hour ago and i solved it with this
hope it helps.

I have a similar problem. But mine is s-off and unrooted, it occurred when I tried updating with the system OTA update (about 230mb in size). It updated, showed the circular green stuff on the black screen, booted a few times then just stuck at the HTC screen on the white background.

It seems that your problem is complicated. Stock software and no recovery access makes it difficult to give an appropriate advice. Maybe something wrong was flashed on this phone or the worst case - "fried" eMMC chip. You can try to search across the forum for any similar or try various solutions but I cannot advice how to proceed. Sorry

Please just tell me what to do or give me the thread cause I have searched and can't find precisely what will help. Just post something please I beg you.

Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium

Tried everything in the thread and it won't still work.

I downloaded RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed and used it. It showed successful but got stuck at the htc logo white screen again. When i tried using the ruu again it showed the old version which it supposedly upgraded was still in the phone.
Please help am so frustrated

Hint - flash hboot 0.98.2000
After use the latest RUU 2.10.401.8
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk

Thanks for the quick reply. I have already tried flashing hboot_0.98.0000_361a7ba6_0310 onto it using android flasher in "fastboot usb plug" but it reboots and gets stuck at the htc logo again until i remove the battery.
Also here is what androidflasher shows me :
sending "hboot" (1024kb)...
OKAY [0.191s]
writing "hboot"...
(bootloader) image update is bypassed!
OKAY [0.030s]
finished.total time:0.221s
rebooting into bootloader...
OKAY [0.248s]
finished.total time:0.248s
rebooting....

**update**
was able to flash 4ext recovery using android flasher onto my device and tried updating with the ruu again. It still gets stuck at the htc logo white background (so i painfully remove battery again) but when i try running the ruu again from my pc it shows that i have the same version as the ruu.
Still stuck at white screen. Help!!!

see the version of the bootloader
if it is still 6.98.xxxx this is you problem. Flash 0.98.2000 with PG88IMG.zip from the SDcard or try 2.00.2002 - you can find this in the forums also

linkin8k
I have the same problem and I have not found the solution up here.

can anybody tell me can i solve this by JAG?i can do jtag my self

thanks for the replies sorry i couldn't post yesterday was trying to be in a festive mood.
**my progress**
I have tried all i can to update the bootloader, from putting the pg88img file in through root of sd to update through 4ext recovery to tryin to use android flasher to put the 0.98.2000 it won't just update.
please what else can i do?? is there a hboot installer for windows for me to try??
please help AmidaBuddha u have done a lot but i still need a little help. thanks

As much as i know would be the last possible solution to replace the bootloader with dd command inside adb shell or try to flash it with fastboot (to make this the htc drivers [if you are using windows] and the android sdk with the given android plattform-tools must be installed, if some parts are not present look at the index thread)
Walkthrough:
fastboot:
reboot your device to bootloader and put it in fastboot mode
open commanline at your pc
attach device to pc
cd to the directory where the hboot.img is ( extract it from the pg88img.zip file)
Code:
fastboot devices
(your device should show up as some letters and digits at the right of it should stand recovery, also the adb daemon is started if it wasn't running before)
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
this replaces your current hboot with the hboot.img file, don't interrupt the process or pull the usb cable, this can brick your device, i'm not responsible if something goes wrong.
dd:
put the needed .img file of the bootloader at the root of your sd (extract it from the pg88img.zip file) and rename it to hboot.img
reboot to recovery
Open commandline at your pc
attach device to pc
Code:
adb devices
(your device should show up as some letters and digits at the right of it should stand recovery, also the adb daemon is started if it wasn't running before)
adb shell
(this opens the adb command shell, from where you can execute shell commands right at your device)
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img
(this backups your current bootloader partition to the backup.img file)
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
(this replaces your bootloader partition with the boot.img)
exit
(exits adb shell)
adb reboot bootloader
(reboots your device to bootloader)
this backups your current bootloader to /sdcard/backup.img and replaces it with the boot.img, but beware this is hard stuff and be carefull, don't stop the execution of the any dd command and never pull the usb-cable while it writes your bootloader, this definitly can brick your device, i'm not responsible if something goes wrong, good luck.

Tectas thanks, see what i get using fastboot:
on command line:
c:\users>fastboot devices
SH14HTJ05*** fastboot
c:users> cd c:\temp
c:\temp>fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
sending `hboot` <1024 kb>... OKAY
writing `hboot`... INFOimage update is bypassed!
OKAY
on phone under bootloader menu:
Can not roll back hboot version
........
will try dd option now.

[Q] Fastboot Problem [SOLVED]

I have posted in the emergency thread but haven't got much out of it, sorry about the double post but I think this deserves its own thread.
When I plug my one S into the computer I see FASTBOOT AC. This should say FASTBOOT USB. The two devices wont recognise each others presence and the one s thinks the computer is a wall supply... fastboot devices returns no message at all. However in twrp 2.4.1.0 the devices communicate fine.
I tried to update cyanogenmod and got stuck in a bootloop because I can't flash the boot.img. I have tried reverting back to the old rom but to no avail.
Here are some of the things i have tried. If you can think of a way to achieve the same goal please let me know:
1) ensured drivers are up to date by installing and uninstalling the htc sync manager
2) someone pointed me in the way of s-off. apparently this would negate the need to manually flash a boot.img. However I need to use fastboot to do this so looked no further.
3) I have seen that TWRP doesnt require you to flash a boot.img if you are using version 1.3 or below (or something like that). However to alter the recovery i need guess what... fastboot
4) I saw a page on stack exchage titled 'Flash boot.img without using fastboot USB' which looks promising but i am not entirely confident with what I am doing and am scared I will make the situation worse. I can't work out exactly what it wants me to do. I would link except xda wont let me as I am a new user.
This is what my bootloader looks like on the fastboot screen

I have found a solution with some guidance from this thread
TWRP has a terminal emulator within it.
I first placed the boot.img in the sdcard and opened a terminal emulator here. I then had to find out what block the boot.img lives in
Code:
cat /proc/emmc
I found that the answer was /dev/block/mmcblk0p21
Then it was just a case of using dd
Code:
dd if=boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21
The phone booted fine and it seems to have done the trick, fingers crossed!

pretty amazing, you were able to flash a boot.img from recovery while being s-on.
Good job.
