Problem Flashing ROM - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

I used the Goldcard method to flash my 32B SPL from the perfected 1.33.0006 to 1.33.2010
I loaded recovery-RAv1.2.1G.img to get into recovery. My attempts at installing a custom ROM were unsuccessful after dozens of tries. At boot it would just hand at the red vodaphone screen.
The next thing I tried was to load cm-recovery-1.4.img using the method posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523558
Now I cannot boot into recovery at all. Any help would be appreciated.

I am attempting the Goldcard method again using the 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip ROM
Previously I used the ROM in this article:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/14/how-to-root-your-mytouch-3g/

Went through Goldcard process again. The only difference is that boot hangs at an HTC Magic splash screen instead of the Vodaphone screen.
I've tried loading several ROMs with the same result.

Resolved!
All I had to do was follow this thread:

bricked????

unfortunately the recovery and fastboot are not working.
in both case the phone stays at the logo.
this append wile flashing SPL.
What can i do????
Had the same issue. Just press the key combinations again. Somehow with latest roms there is an issue with that..
(sry for my english) did you try to restore a backup from nandroid?
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
try to flash the orig. recovery.img^^
i cannot access the recovery or the fastboot unfortunaly
i tried many times and all the combo but no luck,i think is shoot
do you have installed the haykuro spl and his recovery-img when you brick ?
yes,everything was ok till i tested the HERO rom.
when i restored to my backup i noticed that the recovery console was gone,so i did try to reapply the recovery.img ,and when i re flashed haykuro spl the phone locked to the vodafone logo with no access to fastboot or recovery.
HO WELL i manage to get a new one.that was the only way.
now......... TO ROOT OR NOT TO ROOT that is the question
OK this models as the cbr43 update.
so would the original wiki tutorial work for rooting?

Rooted MyTouch can boot to fastboot, but nothing else

A bit stuck here. I have a MyTouch which I previously rooted using a goldcard and had installed a Hero ROM on it. This worked fine but performance was terrible, so I attempted to go back to a simple ROM I found on these forums.
After installing the new ROM, the phone booted up but froze on the splash screen. This has been the situation ever since:
Back+Power gets me fastboot. Can use fastboot to talk to device.
Any attempts to "fastboot boot" a recovery rom results in reboot to splash screen.
Any attempts to Home+Power to go to recovery rom after fastboot loading it results in splash screen.
While in fastboot, 'adb devices' returns nothing (is that normal?)
Since I can still get to fastboot I have hope that this can be fixed without sending it in, but everything I can think of to try just puts me back on the splash screen.
I've already had to pay for repairs once, would love not to do it again. Please help?
Yeah, you should be ok if you can fastboot. What's your current radio and spl? If you're coming from cursor is it possible that you still have a hero radio spl combo installed and therefore 32a recovery Roms won't work? Or if you've already reverted to a magic radio spl then are you sure you're using the magic recovery and not the old hero recovery?
I tried something similar. I couldn't boot to any new AmonRA recovery ROM, but I tried an older version (v1.3.2 I think) and finally it booted to that recovery ROM. After that I could flash SPL to xx.2010 and flash to a new ROM. After I got new SPL and ROM, I could boot to the newest AmonRA recovery ROM (v1.5.2), but for some reason I've never been able to flash the recovery ROM
im going to hazard a guess here and say this is due to having the hero rom normally requiring you to have ur sd card formatted into fat32 ext and swap! i imagine you have gone ahead and flashed a new rom without re-formatting these, as this will cause rom to BOOT LOOP, and secondly have you wiped data/factory reset before flashing new rom

This sounds very likely that this is the problem ...
if you say what hardware you have so we can maybe help?
had the same issue
had to flash sappire.nbh
the run relentess rooter v1.2.3
then upgrade to latest version v1.5.2
good luck
try and not power into fastboot FIRST, instead, try booting into RECOVERY FIRST AND FLASHING A ROM FROM THERE (has to be on the SDCARD...) tell me how it goes ok?

[Q] How do I get my HTC rhyme to restore to original

I have tried factory reset from hboot, my cwm recovery, and i cant find a custom rom. I have extracted the rom.zip from my original ruu found on htcdev. I put it on sd card and tried flashing thru recovery and thru hboot. I try doing fastboot, with the system.img and it actually crashes my pc, and when loading thru hboot, i get stuck at parsing .zip
I think you need to ask people who are more familiar with HTC devices. Type "htc rhyme" in the search bar at the top right of this page.

I did, believe me, I have spent hours and days googling, and every similar situation ppl have, the soution doesnt work for everybody, lol, and I just happen to be one of them. My rhyme is an upgraded OTA, from the original stock rom which is an ruu: RUU_Bliss_C_VERIZON_WWE_1.26.605.6_Radio_1.15.00.0816_NV_VZW2.67_release_214911_signed, and when i try running the ruu installer it says; From:image version 2.0.0.134076
To: 1.26.605.6, After 16% PROGRESS, ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR, The ROM upadate uti;ty couldn't update, please find correct RUU and update again. I dont know what else to do, ive been researching for a while and so now im in the XDA forums asking for help, before i was just searching for anything related to this problem with HTC rhyme, and not much about the rhyme it self is out there for support in these situations, so ive been researching the issue with all htc devices, and even android in general. I'll admit i am a noob at androids, but im actually pretty familiar with OS's and computers period. All help is much appreciated too, so thank you and if you know something i dont, please feel free to let me know where I am screwing up. I can get My CWM on it, and actually before all this, i had CWM touch recovery, somehow i lost it too and had to put the one i have now on it. i also parsed thru hboot my boot.img, and recovery before, , and it said it was successful. when doing system.img thru the PI46img.zip with boot and recovery, it freezes on parsing, and if i fastboot the system.img, it causes my computer to freeze, and i got the system.img from the rom.zip out of this RUU, that i mentioned above. ive done all the wiping from recovery of partitions that ppl had mentioned, and still no luck, and also when trying to flash it thru CWm it always says installation aborted. tahnk s for responding too man, ive noticed most questions with The HTC RHyme, get the shaft....and thats why i feel like im at a deadend, and i dont know if there is some number out there for support in theses situations, because HTC wont help after the bootloader has been unlocked, and it would seem a lil easier having someone walk you through it on either a live chat or over the phone

HTC rhyme recovery prob.
Hi I really need help. I unlocked the boot loader from HTC Dev. Then rebooted the the bootloaderbfrom adb. The fastboot flash recovery. Everything was good until I pushed the mount through adb it gave me an error. Now every time I try a factory reset or try to go to recovery it takes me to the white HTC logo and nothing happens. Please help. The phone is switching on everything is working. I just can't factory reset or go to the recovery.

Problem with boot reloop solved

I ran into some trouble trying to install a new ROM, and now have a hard time getting things up and running again.
Just figured I'd share a solution that took me an hour or 2 to figure out.
The Problem
The system didn't boot up any more. At some points I got stuck in a boot reloop, at others in the HTC screen (for development use only)
The Basic Facts
S4
Unlocked
Hboot 1.06.0000
Radio 1.06es.50.02.31
I could always boot into bootloader and into recovery (TWRP 2.3.3.0 - although that one always asks for a password, but when I click on Cancel, it does seem to work
The Things I Tried
I tried to install a ROM by first pushing it with quick adb pusher to the sd-card that was mounted in twrp, I then tried to install that zip file but got all sorts of 'mount' errors
I then tried to fash a stock RUU (I found RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_TMOUS_2.35.531.7_Radio_1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e.50.04L_release_279577_signed.exe), I relocked the phone with the one-in-all toolbox (which worked just fine), the phone went into bootloader, a White HTC sign appeared on the screen, it sent the file, then did 'updating signatures', but ended up with ERROR [130]: model ID error. I take it that is because it found a different Radio from the one expected
I then tried to flash the 'right' radio for the RUU I found (radio-1.08ts.50.02.16) by doing fastboot boot radio.img, but that gave the following error: "reproduce boot image with on-flash ramdisk error"
The Solution
I finally managed to install the ROM through the all-in-one toolbox. I selected under the 'ADB Sideload a ROM' option under 'Extras', the went into 'adb sideload' in twrp advanced and selected a rom I had downloaded (in my case ViperOneS). It started sending it properly (sending:'sideload' x%), it then showed the Team Venom logo and opened the aroma installer. I selected full install with a full wipe (to be on the safe side), and aroma then did its thing until it said "new ROM flashed successfully". I then rebooted and had to wait a few minutes for the first boot (as it had warned me), but I'm fully back up and running again! So If any of you experience a similar problem, you may want to try this out (and avoid the other things I tried.
Thanks for posting a solution. But I do want to point out that this is the development forum. As such, your post doesn't belong here. The General or Q&A forums are the correct ones.

Thanks Thanks Thanks !!!
I've been stuck on boot with every rom's that i've been trying to install!
I was becoming very concern about the problem !
I went from CM10 to the new Viper 2.0 but having troubles with WIFI I start testing others roms and than I become stuck!
Since I've TRW 2.3 and tool kit in my pc I give a shoot at your tutorial and it WORKS.
Thanks again,

[Q] Boot loop on HTC Inspire 4G (desire hd)

Hello all,
So I decided to try installing cyanogenmod and used the cyanogenmod provided ace image file to flash my recovery. This was after following all instructions to unlock the phone as per the htcdev instructions and have fastboot on, but I am not s-off. That was my first step, and I think my first mistake, as I have no idea what I'm doing, apparently. I then attempted to boot into recovery and found it failed, but I could still boot normally. Then I tried to flash the bootloader image to the boot, and now I can't boot into anything whatsoever. I've tried using the stock image that htc provides for the device on their webpage (it's an ATT phone, so none of the RUU files). I tried following HTC's instructions to flash the device, including re-locking my phone (it now shows as "relocked").
So, I think I'm in quite the mess and would sincerely appreciate some help. As of yet, I have not been able to locate any backup recovery images to try using, nor have I managed to get cyanogenmod to boot.
And before I get reamed, I searched and read about 8 different threads on this subject before posting one of my own.
