cannot restore radio img

Hey Guys,
I flashed my htc magic from rogers to new rom, and everything worked fine except not able to use 3G network, so I though it was radio image problem, then i flashed my radio,and that's where I started having issues. my cell does not even boot into system anymore (only stays at Rogers splash).
i struggled so much time to restore radio img(tried a few different ones), none of them worked.
when flashing radio img with fastboot, screen goes off, but with a little background light then nothing happens.
Here is my magic specs
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.10.18
JUNE 2 2009, 17:27:03
Also, when i get into recovery mode, it reboots after 2-3 seconds, so i cant even use recovery mode.
Any help will be much appreciated!!!

now even worse, it keeps rebooting after i tried flashing again.

You need the 1.76.2007 SPL to match that radio and the Hero recovery or CursorDroids customized amon ra magic recovery.

eyegor is right, you need a matching SPL

but problem is now that i cant seem to boot into fastboot or recovery mode with HOME+POWER or POWER+BACK key.
when pressing key combination, it just continues to reboot.
any idea how i can fix this ?

Is my phone bricked?

Hi everyone,
Sorry for sounding like a total noob, but today I was trying to flash my phone to "SUPER-HERO" rom. but first I needed to update the radio and hboot.
I went into recovery mode with "fastboot boot recovery.img".
Updated to radio image
6.35.08.29
And rebooted.... my phone showed up an HTC boot screen (probably was doing some updating) and then the problem started..
My phone is now booting through the vodafone logo then the HTC Magic logo (usb sound on my laptop for a second) and reboot.
No key combination is working except for the action button which shows up a blue LED.
Anyone can help?
My phone is an HTC Magic 32A (Vodafone Branded).
Thanks.

You must to revert to old radio, when you update to new radio you need to install a rom/kernel port that works with new radio.

to come back to old radio

I can't reach fastboot I don't know why.. fastboot usually gets launched as soon as I press back + power.. I just get the vodafone logo then the HTC logo right after that.. and then it restarts.

If you flashed an incorrect radio or recovery (flashing the wrong radio is a surefire way to get bricked), and as a result are not able to get to fastboot or recovery, then you're bricked and as a result need a new phone.

I managed to get the phone to fastboot but when I load the recovery ROM the phone just resets.
What can I do in fastboot?

You can flash a new (Correct) radio and/or recovery rom, or even a new SPL. Course reason instructions carefully for whatever you grab.

HTC boot recovery mode help

htc hero - SPRINT model
I've succesfully "one-click" rooted my phone. (i followed unlockr)
I succesfully dropped the fresh 1.1 "update.zip" file onto my SD card.
I then booted to "Fastboot mode" using the "down-volume + power" method.
I proceed to click "home" for recovery mode.
My phone hits a hiccup and gets stuck at a black screen with the text "htc" logo in the middle of the screen. It does not proceed to screen to allow me to run "update.zip" to flash the new fresh1.1

I don't have a hero, but could that just be the stock recovery screen? You might need to flash a custom recovery for your device.

Well, watching this video (Cant post)youtube.com/watch?v=hdmkTFAG3PM
at time = 4:08 is the exact part where my screen is locked at.
Its not bricked or anything. I can still boot and it runs the original OS (android 1.5)

I just followed your steps and mine sat on the black screen for a few seconds, but then works fine. You did answer a question I had about how to get to RA though, so thanks for that. Did you boot once before trying to go to recovery mode. I know the fresh site says it can take up to 5 min for the first boot.
RA - 1.5.2
Fresh - 2.0d

I waited for approx 4-5 min. Still, it hung at that htc logo screen.
I exactly followed the steps. After I had flashed the recovery image, I immediately proceeded to power down the phone. Then, I pressed downvolume+home, and entered into HBOOT mode. I pressed home for recovery. Still, no luck. I followed these steps exactly, downloaded the exact files, placed exactly on sdcard. Still hangs out that logo screen and does not proceed to the recovery screen.

Before I run the recovery, should I press HOME+POWER and completely wipe/reset my phone? Then I have to take out battery, Press DOWNVOLUME+POWER and enter into recovery mode? (In the instructional video, this is NOT DONE.)

Might I direct you towards a new post?

I did HOME+POWER after flashing the recovery Image (which should take you to the RA recovery. After you whipe and flash your ROM if you do this it will show the HTC screen that just whipes data and you have to follow the method you listed in your post.
These are the exact steps I followed:
1) Use flashRec to back up and flash the recovery image (RA-1.5.2)
2) Reboot HOME+POWER
3) Whipe > Whipe data/factory reset
4) Flash ZIP from sdcard > Select the ROM you want to flash (Fresh 2.0d)
5) Reboot system now (this can take up to 5 min)
6) To flash patch like vanilla lock screen patch boot with VOL DWN+POWER then press HOME to get back to RA.
A few of the above steps within RA require you to press HOME to confirm the action.

[PC36IMG.zip] RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15. 00.07.28_NV_1.71_003

I have made 2 separate PC36IMG.zips for everyone that includes the contents of this EXACT RUU, except for one contains Amon_Ra recovery and the other contains ClockWorkMod recovery.
This will ONLY work for people who have run Unrevoked Forever and are s-off in hboot. This will basically run this RUU just like it would on the computer, while preserving your custom recovery.
NOTE: When tested this, I did NOT get the updated 1.71_003 PRI, i stayed on my same 1.40_003.
WARNING: I tested this twice before making this guide. I am NOT responsible for any problems you may encounter.
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE STARTING!
1. Download which ever PC36IMG.zip you prefer
2. Mount your sdcard to your computer (select Disk Drive, not Charge Only)
3. Put the PC36IMG.zip on the ROOT of your sdcard.
4. Unmount your sdcard from your computer (select Charge Only)
5. Reboot your phone to the bootloader by powering off your phone, then turn on your phone while holding the volume down button. The PC36IMG.zip will automatically load.
6. When the bootloader asks to "Start Update?" use volume up for YES.
It will now flash all the components.
If you wish to use this stock ROM,
7. When asked to reboot, select YES.
8. You are DONE Don't follow any more steps!
If you wish to restore your nandroid backup,
7. When asked to reboot, select NO
8. After choosing NO to the reboot, you will see a menu again. Select Bootloader from the menu, then use the Volume Down button to hover over "Recovery" and press Power to click on it.
If your phone gets stuck at the White EVO 4G screen, pull your battery, and then power on while holding volume down again. It should boot to the bootloader again, where you can select recovery.
9. Once in recovery, use the nandroid menu option to restore your nandroid backup.
That's all there is to it!

What other differences are in this Rom as I see you stated no upgrade to the 171_003

Would like to know this as well. If there is no pri 1.7 are there any diffs from a stock rom worth loading this for?

Well, I personally didn't get the updated PRI, even after doing the ##786# method after flashing this... Some people supposedly got the PRI from running this RUU... idk.
Also, I really don't care what PRI I have, I really think there isn't much of a difference between any of them.... whatever. I just made these for people who want to update to the newest stock RUU out, and keep a custom recovery. And no, this doesn't have root while the phone is booted, BUT you can flash a root package (like 2.2-root.zip from my rooting thread) to get root.

regaw_leinad, forgive my noob question but what recovery comes with a stock Froyo from Sprint. Go to the store, buy an EVO, has 2.2 installed.... and the recovery is....
I am so cooked now, I forgot what I had in the beginning Recovery, Radio, PRI, etc.

[Q] Messed up situation. To bricked, or not to bricked?

I've read almost all topics here and there is no one with my situation or I'm blind
The situation:
1) I successfully s-off'ed my Sensation
2) I successfully installed clockwork's touch recovery package
3) I successfully installed 3.12 ROM
3) I successfully booted into my old (stock) Gingerbread
4) I checked for updates via settings panel
5) It started updating.../installed them
And now:
1) Everything is gone
2) I don't have clockwork's recovery
3) I'm s-on again since it writes ***LOCKED***
4) It gives me HTC's infamous white screen of death
5) And white screen of death happens on all boot menu's options such as factory reset and recovery
And I've tried these with no luck:
1) Re-installing firmware v3.12
2) Deleting PG*** update package from sd-card's root
3) Trying to re-installing clockwork's recovery with fastboot (it gives me "target rejects" error)
And just 2 questions:
1) Is it bricked? if no is there any healing methods?
2) WTF did I just do that turned my phone into a useless carrot?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
@2) You let HTC update your phone,and this caused you to lose all your lovely s-off work.
When you go into hboot now,does it actually say "s-on"?
I do not know of any updates that would change s-off to s-on.
Try copy/paste this post to THIS THREAD
There are some very clever people there who can get to the bottom of this...

I don't know how to fix it other than to try the ADB methods of pushing a completely stock set up.
But letting HTC update the device after S-Off was deffiantely what you did wrong, for future refference. Once you start meddlign with it, don't let the carrier or the manufacturuer meddle with it anymore.

None of any current updates can turn your phone back to son. So i bet my fiver that your problem is completely recoverable.
All you need to do is to flash newer firmware, custom recovery, and chosenn rom. All links with all the info can be found in malybru signature 2 posts above. Before flashing, drop recovery.img into it without opening PG zip, so you don't have to flash recovery and fw separately.
