Having had many flashes on my old windows mobile phones and hacking the iphone i thought an android would be simple
i have a belgium htc magic which had its spl changed to accept roms as in the guides , so i tryed to flash the vodafone ausie rom , every thing went well , the radio got updated , then it failed with the country id problem
now the phone is stuck in ruu mode , i cannot get into the recovery mode as i had done before , the main screen has at the bottom a picture of a rom/ram in a red circle with the stripe through the middle, when the phones in that mode i can hear my twitter app on the phone bleeping everytime i get a new tweet but it wont boot into the main interface , i have tryed through ms dos all the commands but it always fails , the phone needs a ruu file to install the phone back to life but after 2 days searching here and on google i have not found the belgium rom to restore it back to life , i dont know if there will be a update soon as its a 32a version , any ideas guys or how to build a ruu to get it back , i had saved my nandoid but that does not help at all , any help would be very gratefull as iam pulling out my hair with this phone
details of the phone are
sapphire pvt 32a ship s-on h
hboot 1.76.007 ( sapp10000)

thanks in advance
On the forum have posted a lot of similar info!
- use brain
- use search button
And the answer is:
- use goldcard
Create goldcard from sdcard to avoid checking Customer ID. It is simply method, but i notice, that some sd cards and some devices are not compatible with this process
You must find following: a computer (notebook) with Ubuntu (or Linux-based OS) and built-in cardreader. But i you have friend with Android-phone process will be simpliest.
There is a problem getting CID from cardreader, that connected through USB-port to computer, because Ubuntu mounts sdcard from cardreader as physical storage, not as device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572683
There is instruction of creating Goldcard.
attention: Step 20 is for Hero only
At this step you must use any RUU ROM with version 3.03.XXX for Magics (HK Vodafone-Smartone, Singapore, Malaysia - does not matter). You cann't use old RUU ROMs, cause you flashed a new perfected SPL already. It doesn't allow downgrading.
p.s. there is an alternative method getting CID in Ubuntu

thanks for your help i will look in to it , i did search the forum but there seems so many different ways people have managed to restore thier phones , have contacted htc as well for a real copy in ruu format as iam sure they must have it on their ftp and will if i get it upload it and post it here on the forum for any users with the same model from belgium to restore back thier original rom
no goldcard
apple macs suck , iam unable to make my sd card as it cannot be seen in dos commands , will have to wait until i can get hold of a real computer so i can try again
No need for a goldcard you can do it right way

read the post then take a look post 35 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5033743&postcount=35
what you need is change the files so you have the hero spl and hero recovery and this new radio inside the file now you can ron ruu (as explaind in #35 ) you should end up with a eng S-OFF SPL and the new rom then it is posiable to recover back to an older ROM if you want , search newxt time for a topic not just for recover a dead phone!
remember new radio = new SPL first then maybe downgrade,
is it in RUU mode or just fastboot ?
any ways you should fix it using these links
cheers
will read and try out the links you gave thanks and its a ruu mode my phones stuck in
It cann't help to peekie.
Because his phone have perfected SPL 1.76.0007 already.
It doesn't allow to flash other SPL. We've tried with my friend, but RUU doesn't flash eng SPL if phone have perfected.
I flashed successfully, cause i have eng SPL 1.33.2010
p.s. Goldcard needed for RUU Update, cause Customer ID is different between HongKong and Romania =)
up and running
thanks to all your tips i managed to get my phone back to life using my wifes htc hero ( she was away for a few days ) made the magaic card and flashed the vodafone rom , htc were useless and said i had a vodafone version ( as i live in holland ) not realising it was a second hand one from belgium and yep its very fast and cool now , merry xmas to all

Hello to all,
I have already started a thread about this topic, but it was on the wrong section( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4663229 ), I apologize to all users and moderators.
Here goes:
I have a 32B HTC Magic from Vodafone Spain with a 1.33.0007 SPL. I have been looking arround for a few for info about this SPL and it seems to have small amout of info about it.
I guess this is a perfect SPL, but its not listed in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218
This SPL does not allow to flash it using the fastboot method, a "remote: not allow" error, making it more difficult to make some hacking, such as changing the splash screen.
Even though, I was able to change the recovery image and flash some roms using the "one click method" with no problems.
Now, I am thinking of changing this SPL using the recovery image that I already have installed, its the recovery-RAv1.2.1G, so I can use the fastboot method to make some hacking, such as change the damn splash screen.
The problem is that there are a few SPLs, and I don't know which one is the most appropriate to my phone and has less chances of brick the phone.
Here are some more details of the phone:
SAPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
Using the "recovery-RAv1.2.1G" recovery image and the "Smartphone France ROM by spfrance - Based on HTC Magic, dedicated for European users" rom.
On the other thread, the user robotician suggested to use the 'Engineering SPL 1.33.2005', is this SPL safe on my phone. Has anyone with a phone like mine flashed this SPL?
Can any one give me a help here?
1.33.2005 use it
Thanks, I guess I will use the 1.33.2005
I have some USB problems, since I can't connect to the PC to use ADB or mass storage device. Already tried Windows and Linux with no luck.
Could a SPL install solve the problem?
I locked your FIRST thread and left a message on what you should do.
You actually start a second thread???
Open one more thread in the wrong section and you will be taking a 5-day vacation to Bannville.
Hi guys! just brought a G2 fews days ago.Here is my G2 status :
PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H;(SAPP10000)

O.S. 1.5 cupcake + UI Sense (i dont needed)
Its seems up to now there is no solution to root the machine after i read tremendous articles.
The is no difference between bricked and unrooted magic coz too many restriction applied.
I am so disappointed with my Gphone..coz its not a convenient phone for everyone which somehow i think WM is much better...at least you dont have to go through a complex procedure to gain higher acess right which i belonged to..
Anyone know how to rooted this crap? Please tell me with many thanks !
Don't post messy thread!!! If you don't understand process of flashing, you will probably kill your phone.
Read forum, try to get more patience.
After all, you can simply flash any ROM with tag [radio 6.35] - CursorSense, Gyd [6.35] or other... they are with root
OHow can you flash any Rom when security status is on ?
S-on .pls tell me!? Others said h-boot 1.76 version is a prefect spl. I just wonder you can flash any Rom sucessfully
You must be kidding!
You wrote that you have HBOOT-1.76.2007 which is an engineering SPL with S-OFF (it's even written on the first line of the fastboot info you provided). The one people have problems with is 1.76.0007 which is a perfected SPL. You should read more carefully next time.
You can already do everything you want with this phone and I'd be surprised if you didn't have root access already as the installed system is probably Cursorsense (this is only a guess but it's been the only one able to run on this Radio version until recently). I'd also bet there's already a custom Recovery on it (boot the phone holding home+power to check that).
With this setup you can flash any ROM that is compatible with the 6.35 Radio but you can also revert to an older Radio/SPL combo if you need to.
Check the main thread about this setup. It also explains the downgrading procedure. Check the wiki if you need more basic knowledge before proceeding.
lol .. ur phone is already root enabled ( u likely have bought a used phone )
just flash the proper recovery and rom and ur done
this is the recovery guide from curserdroid's thread :
Custom Recovery RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.5.2
Mounts SD card immediately, based on RA-Sapphire-v1.5.2H
Highly recommended!
Flash through FASTBOOT
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.5.2.img

Retarded. How shameful the newbie asking the questions without looking between 1.76.0007 (Perfected SPL) and 1.76.2007 (Engineering SPL)
The 1st thread i mentioned my phone status is incorrect(mistake). truly sorry about that.

Can anyone pls tell me how to root this phone ??
Please...give me some hint...coz i dont to want to sell it to buy i-phone.
some android application is very useful and handy..all i need is to rooted the phone in order to run those application.
Please dont be upset an angry and accept my apology of the incorrect information i provided.
For now there is no way to change the 1.76.0007 perfected SPL and so you can' t gain root privileges. You' ll have to wait until a newer ROM version is released from HTC, in order to use the goldcard method to change your perfected SPL. Or until someone finds an exploit for the particular SPL.

Radio is wrong.... Unknown means you have wrong SPL. You didnt install the G, not H recovery.
Please, you guys haver got to start reading instructions rather then thinking you know what your doing and jumping ahead.
Go back and re read the instructions. But, I suggest not because you will probably brick with radio. Plus, where are you guys finding this vodaphone rom your using to downgrade... because its not the right one
I found the sapping.zip on amon thread on how to root and un root ur mytouch! What can i do???? It is fixible???
Also i forgot to mention the hboot is 1.33.009 (sapp 31000)
the 3.22 radio should be right for a 32A I believe... but im confused. You said your phone is 32A (well thats what the info displays) but I think it should be a 32b... SO In conclusion! I believe you have the wrong spl, and your recovery doesn't work cause you were probably using the 32B recovery in the past. So you need to flash the H recovery and if you can get into recovery, awesome. But I think you may need to flash spl, and I would use the 1.33.0010 ENG SPL (double check if this is compatible with your phone)
If this works out, I'd totally accept the $25! Please! hahaha and next time, post in the right section
k re-read your post several times. Since you used some Sappimg, your phone probably isn't even rooted (or is it?). Could you even get into recovery before? AND Crap, you totally need an ENG SPL before you can even flash anything. SOOO You'll PROBABLY (I think you do) need a goldcard and put the correct sappimg on it and go into hardboot (or fastboot if you know what ur doing) holding vol down and power.
This is the wired thing ppl said tha usa tmobile mytouch 3g are 32b cus my first one was a 32b but this one is a 32a its not rooted i was trying to rooted and wen i use the goldcard with the sappimg zip to bring it back to cupcake 1.5 thats what it happen i been seaching for almost a month and i cant find the corect sappimg nbh or zip for my phone can some one give me the link for the corect one please here is the total info of my phone again

Does your phone have a 3,5mm audio jack?
yes it dos it have the 3.5 audio jack on top
Congrats, you're the proud owner of a new type of Magic, the 32A Mytouch 1.2/Fender. None of the existing roms are compatible with it, as the driver sources are not available. Try making a goldcard and flashing an engineering SPL and then flashing the original rom from fastboot. Have fun
can u give me thouse links please? so i cant download them and try to do it
I don't know exactly where to find them, just look around and use the search button too, it doesn't bite. Look for goldcard and fastboot: remote not allowed.
can't post link, but try theunlockr.com and search for fender section.

HBOOT
so i tryed flashing RC29 and also RC7 but fails says model id error
i tryed HARDspl with recovery mode...
it starts update and says failed and comes out
better i need experts suggestions so that which rom is better upload to this mobile now
i cant root it because it is not powering on in NORMAL MODE
it hangs in startup logo...
pls guide me
thanks
I believe you can bypass the modelID flag with a goldcard
thanks brother
but may i know after making the GOLD card ...which ROm will be suitable for this ....?
Start with CyanogenMod 5.0.8, as there are tons of resources on it, and then migrate to other ROMs if necessary. 5.0.8 does everything I need it to.
ok...let me try it...
thanks a lot.
i got the rom it is zip format...
may you guide how to upload it...
i have the gold card now....
Hi
Please help me my HTC Desire S stuck on fastboot and bootloader after change the hboot to 0.98.0000 s-on
i cant using adb to change the hboot ;(
i cant install my official rom ruu htc saga ara 1.36.415.1 ;( error 140 i dont know why my current rom 1.47.415.1 and i did that before
i cant install ruu htc saga europe 2.10.401.5 ;( error 131
i cant create goldcard cuz i dont know the sd card cid "i cant using adb on fastboot"
Plz tell me what can i do???
Well, I'm not sure there is a lot to do when you're S-ON. But I would give Android Flasher a try. It worked for me, even if adb couldn't recognize my phone.
Thanx my friend i will try it
Android flasher doesnt work with hboot S-ON.
U can make gold card on other android device. And then, u can run RUU Europe 1.28.
If you can't, you can take to Services or S-OFF by XTC-clip
I had the same problem, but do not dispair you can fix this.
Obviously one point you have missed on the whole goldcard thing is that you dont have to use ADB or your bricked phone to find out the CID, put it into a card reader and use your PC. So onto making yourself a goldcard.
The process of creating one is rather hit and miss, but I eventually got one to work. Make sure you use an MicroSD card that is 2GB or smaller as any larger than this and it's a SDHC card and wont work. I used a old 1GB Sandisk card my girlfriend had spare. Have a look on the forums for a goldcard.exe file to run on windows to simplify the process, I found this worked when the forum described method did not. Keep trying with this as it took me many attempts to get a working goldcard.
From your post it sounds like you want to install the cool new Android 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0. Your problem is your phone will not take the European RUU 2.10.401.5 as your phone is from another region - 1.47.415.1 (india?) and got screwed up in the process. The bold part of the software version number relates to region. Mine was from Thailand and the european update worked when installed with my goldcard.
When you have your goldcard created you need to extract the ROM.zip file from the RUU (just run the exe and look in your PCs temp directory whilst the exe is open, it unpacks itself there) and then rename this to PG88IMG.zip. Put this file onto your goldcard and then power on your Desire S whilst holding the Vol. down button.
If you still get errors like 130 or 140 your goldcard is not made correctly, so try again.
Once you have the new update working take yourself to htcdev.com and unlock the bootloader, then you can flash CWM recovery and root it as well.
Hope this helps
thanxxxxxxxxx all really i miss these solutions because i was very confuse
thanx again for all i will try it and give u my feedback

One tiny correction on this part, I use a 16GB SanDisk Class 6 GoldCard. Means its an SDHC and I haven't had any problems with it.
