Hi,
i bricked my Vodafone Magic. it stops when the bootscreen comes.
I can enter Fastboot.
But how to read the CID to make a goldcard.
THANKS
If you can enter fastboot you just have to boot Amon Ra's Recovery Image and then you can enter your phone with the adb shell.
Code:
adb shell
cd /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1
ls
Look for the folder mmc1:XXXX (XXXX= 4 numbers and/or letters)
Code:
cd mmc1:XXXX
cat cid
And then there's your cid.
i can only fastboot. but amon ra recovery image does not work.
Which SPL do you have in your phone?
HI,
i have the 1.33.2009. but it is not a engineering one.
Yeah that's right. So, do you want to get a custom rom in your magic?

i 'm using voda magic
plz help
Press back and end when the phone is off to enter fastboot mode.
Check to see if your board is 32A or 32B.
Download the appropriate recovery image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
Enter this in the command prompt: fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.1.1G.img or recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img
The phone will reboot and then you will have a menu with a backup option.
You can download fastboot here:

(forgive my poor english first. i don't perfect spl in fact. just consider about the possibility of following situation)
let's ASSUME that i have PERFECT spl and ORIGINAL recovery, but at the same time i have ROOT. CAN i just flash recovery in terminal using the command "flash_image"?
if it doesn't work, is there another way?
Urgent!
Anybody help???
I think you can flash your custom Recovery with the original Radio/SPL but you can also boot your recovery in fastboot mode (back + power)
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
You can also flash the 1.33.2010 Engineering SPL like another update.zip.
Another EDIT: the 1.33.0008 isn't PERFECT SPL, you can flash on it.

There are several versions of the Perfect SPL; which one are you talking about? Each one is a different situation.

anybody help?
Yes, you can flash a recovery using adb. Save the recovery image you want to flash to your sdcard. Open a command prompt at the tools folder of the androidsdk. Then type the command:
Code:
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/<name of the recovery.img>
And you'll have a custom recovery installed. From then on you can replace the perfected SPL. Take a look here.

Got it!
thanks a lot!!!!
I flashed the new RADIO and SPL,but forgot to flash a new recovery in HBOOT model. The flash was totally succeed (because after fashing,I tap "fastboot reboot-bootloader" command in HBOOT and it could reboot automatically into hboot model and I can see the new RADIO and SPL had been fashed.
But here comes the problem, I try to reboot my phone into recovery model to flash the new ROM, but no matter I press HOME+POWER or BACK+POWER this time, it reboots again and again at first boot screen, and donnot have any response with the key I tapped!
God! is that bricked? No please don't tell me it's true!
so to clarify, you didn't flash a recovery image and now you don't know why you can't boot to recovery?
boot to fastboot, flash the recovery only, reboot to recovery, flash the rom of your choice and enjoy
Of course, but I cannot boot into fastboot or recovery model now.

*facepalm*
if you can't get into fastboot and you can't get into recovery you just bricked your phone.
while it's bootlooping, can you adb devices and tell us what you get?
i'm surprised that it's bricked because you forgot to flash a recovery, would have thought you could still access fastboot...
I was surprised too.
I don't know why,but I can boot into fastboot model now, but my recovery and rom are still broken.
So I tried to type "fastboot boot recovery.img" on my computer, so that I can enter recovery temporary, but here comes another trouble, it can't mount sdcard now! Display "Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1(or /dev/block/mmcblk0)(No such file or directroy) E:Can't mount SDCARD
!"
So can I use adb shell to install a ROM???
calm down bro....
you didn't brick your phone...
i've same problem after I flashed the new radio SPL HBOOT and recovery...
I've used Hero Recovery...
after u flashed your handset with new radio SPL HBOOT and Recovery, the ROM file DELETED....
so, u just download new rom (that have SAME RADIO HBOOT and Recovery with your handset)
after finished the download, put the file into ROOT SDCard... and then flash it from your RECOVERY....
I've used HERO RECOVERY....
my handset is HTC MAGIC 32A
just do that, if the problem same with me....
BRAVO

better use last recovery.... (1.5.2 isn't last recovery)
I don't recall the OP mentioning what handset they have. If its the MyTouch 3G Limited Edition or 1.2 (has headphone jack on top) a new user to rooting may confuse that with a Magic 32A in which case your instructions without clarifying would surely brick his phone. (Though he's on Fido, so not likely to be a MyTouch, but he didn't even mention of it was a Magic, Hero, G1, or if it was a DVT board instead of a PVT)

You shouldn't offer instructions like this. You have no idea what phone he's using. You offer such a high risk of bricking the phone since most members here fail to read instructions before running a bunch of commands.
He's fido like the above guy said which could mean he's using a rogers magic, but it's also unlikely. Fido doesn't have Magic, so he definitely got it off someone. And since it's rootable (it is unlikely that he could get a hands on a rooted magic here since their lame update) it has a high chance that its from tmo or something which = 32B board.
my phone is htc magic with 32A and it's ENG S-ON so I can't flash a recovery through fastboot, so I have to use "fastboot boot recovery.img" to use a recovery temporary just I said above. I do know that I can put a rom into a sdcard to flash it, but it can't mount sdcard now
Try waiting 30-60 seconds before accessing the SD card. Some recovery images take a while to mount the card.
A few days ago, a friend present a G2 magic to me, it could be used normally.
However, when i want to flash ROM, i found it could not supports SDCARD in system and in recovery mode, only in fastboot mode.
I got the information in fastboot mode:32B ENG S-ON H ; HBOOT-1.33.2010; CPLD-10; RADIO-3.22.20.17;
You know, it is so interesting, because i could not match the RUU in the list. I think 32B is wrong, because i downloaded the 1.6.2g.img recovery and flash in fastboot mode, it is fake. but 1.6.2h.img is right after i boot the recovery.
First of all, I want to edit S-ON to OFF, for i read some articles in much android BBS, once it will be OFF, the G2 could support SDCARD in recovery mode again and flash other ROM.
I made a goldcard and copy the 2.53.707.2 sappimg.zip in the SDCARD, in fastboot mode, the system rebuilded again. i could power on the phone normally, and it could not support SDCARD.
in adb shell and fastboot mode, i try again to cover orginal hboot with the signed hboot.img(spl-1.33.2010) to OFF, but i failed.
what shall i do? i am nearly crying now.
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
Good thing u reverted to stock SPL. Now the above option might not work.
the 32B is not wrong , the radio is. Flash a 2.xx.xx.xx radio and all will be well.
thanks eyegor
i followed your way, but it was failed. because it showed: signature verify fail.
In fastboot mode, input fastboot erase radio and fastboot flash radio radio.img
is it right?
i think the reason of verify fail is spl-ON.
D - Installing an engineering SPL
This will install the engineering SPL and prepare the phone for a custom rom.
hold down the home key and boot into recovery
Choose Flash zip from sdcard
Choose 1_33_2005_spl.zip (this will stage the flash of the engineering SPL)
reboot as prompted at the bottom of the screen
The recovery will load up again do not be alarmed
run the adb command adb shell reboot bootloader (Note it may be a moment after the recovery screen appears before you can execute the command)
Verify the following:
HBOOT: 1.33.2005
RADIO: 3.22.26.17
run the following two fastboot commands (this will prevent issues flashing your rom)
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
powerdown
fastboot oem powerdown
Proceed to flash an EBI1 rom

So basically i have the DangerSPL and i want to isntall cyanogen mod 5+ on my Rogers G1
i get stuck at the fastboot part, no matter how i do it, it does not let me "fastboot erase system -w" it says "erasing system....... FAILED <remote: now allow>"
i already have the mod on the SD card and everything to go with it, but i stall at this step. any suggestions?
i am using the tutorials from wiki.cyanogenmod for POST 911 rogers dream and cyanogen 5+
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
I think you didn't install the SPL correctly, from what i've read from other people with this problem.
Try re-installing the SPL/RADIO.
the SPL was installed correctly, according to the version number
kept trying over and over eventually it let me erase system -w
thank you
