my magic is able to fastboot
when in recovery (home+power) only last for few second than freezze
normal booting become endless boot
plz help.....
when i try to flash radio or hboot from fastboot i get error
FAILED <remote: signature verify fail>

Because you can still fastboot, you're gona wana redo your SAPPIMG, you're not bricked yet if you can least do fastboot, probably try to find a stock/vanilla SPL to go back to (cuz that also includes radio).

does the stok rom do the magic?
because all i want is to flash my radio back to original
plz can you point me?

What carrier?

no carrier
just plain htc magic 32A

Did you download and flash the correct Amon_Ra recovery image? There are 2, one is G and other is H, look at the link/file you downloaded.
Follow directions closely. There are 2 different versions of the sapphire 32A or 32B. always make sure you use the right stuff that you are trying to download for.
There is also no need to create a goldcard any more for the perfected SPL. Look up the Sapphire WIKI that is stickied and gather the important information.
Then follow the directions in this link: this worked perfectly for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=570659
I also came across other threads that indicate how to do this much simpler way, but this is the only one I can vouch for since I have tried it.
just download the 32B radio and recovery image, then go into fastboot and do this
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RAv1.2.3G.img

You should always use the 32B stuff (recovery, ROM's, etc.)

Lol. If you actually read the thread you "followed", would would have noticed Amon_RA's comment later on which says..
"[...] if you're using a 32B you just have to flash a 32B radio after (see how-to root mytouch thread for more info on that)."
As already stated, you need to flash back to a 32B radio and the fastboot command(s) were posted on Page 1. If you don't know how to use fastboot then you need to do more reading before attempting anything like this - you will need the Android SDK from their website.
Ofc flashing your radio can brick your phone if dont wrong, so I'd advise you do some reading up.
okay bro i got it and also got the radio from htc websote also have the Adroid SDK
now is there any thread you recommend on how to do so or that can help where to start and what steps to take
dont make me angry.... you.... wouldnt like me when im angry

I'm not sure if the radio img on the HTC Dev site is suitable - I mean I guess so, but I don't know much about radio flashing so am not 100%.
Check the stickies for links, or search for guides on fastboot/using adb.

Lol, then you needn't have downgraded in the first place. But anyway..
I'd advise sorting out your radio.img first (maybe the one from the HTC Dev ION site, but as I say I'm not sure), flashing an engineering SPL (now you don't have a perfect SPL anymore, this is a relatively straightforward procedure) and then flashing the Google ION official 1.6 ROM (unmodified ROM but you can gain root access and it's just normal 1.6).
TO SORT IT READ THE LINK I PROVIDED OR THE FIRST PAGE OF THIS POST

Very good point.
If you want a Hero Rom, hit me up. I'm a noob and thought I bricked my device. I'll walk you through it.
RA 1.2.3G, Latest SPL, and Qtek Rom1.8 along with BFS300B is all you need. Takes 15 minutes to have a blazing fast machine on your hand

hello, i give my htc magic 32b to the shop to be repaired.
they call me in 15 days. i tell you if it good.
thanks for your answers.
I think the key thing people are missing here is that this persons phone was a 32b not a 32a and after the bad flash its now coming up with 32a, i have the exact same issue and nothing seems to work, so i think ill tuf it and go back to my Windows Mobile (as much as i hate it) phone
A.
ok i have fix the phone, and ill post up step by step instructions tonight on how to do it with credits to the people that put me on the right track
You guys need to use the search function and read.
This issue has been posted multiple times before. Flashing the 32A only ROM on a 32B makes you unable to get out or RUU update mode. You wont be able to put anything on the phone, as the image extraction process will error out. You are now the owner of a brick.
perhaps you should have a look and see that i have kinda fixed the problem, and this wouldnt have happened if someone on here hadnt said that the rom was for 32b when in fact it was for 32a.
Please see my other posts for the fix for this..

Can't root my HTC magic after applying Nordic update

Hi, folks!
Couldn't find any topics about having problems with rooting HTC branded magic devices after applying _HTC Magic_RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_2.20.401.2_HTC_Nordic_release_signed_NoDriver ROM from offical HTC home page, so have to ask.
Situation: HTC branded magic (32A). Before applying above mentioned RUU, tryed to root my phone. Everything perfect, but than i applyed backup from recovery flasher. Than installed this nordic RUU and it is not possible to root device using recovery flasher any more.
So how to root this device? Any ideas? I can't even downgrade to basic HTC provided ROM i had before.

Did you try the goldcard method ?
I know for sure that goldcard method do work... I have rooted some magics with that SPL and Radio... So go ahead...
Hi there!
Tryed using goldcard method, but still it doesnt work. I used this manual - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133
I get to this point "- It should pick up the sappimg.zip and you should be able to flash it." and than it says: "Main Version is older!" and that's it. Where do i go wrong?
UPD.: Tryed this file (ROM v2.53.707.2) and those two manuals (http://vivekgolecha.blogspot.com/2009/08/as-promised-i-said-i-would-come-up-with.html and http://mariusmadsen.dk/2009/11/25/how-to-root-a-danish-htc-magic-from-3/) to get everything working.

[32A][HOW-TO] Upgrade to 6.35 Radio and 1.76.2007 SPL (Downgrade/Revert too!)

Hi all,
I thought I would start a separate thread for everyone to get the proper instructions on how to upgrade to the new 6.35 radio and 1.76.2007 SPL.
Too many people are confused on the directions for upgrading. I want people to be happy with modding their phones, not angry with me.
If followed exactly, these directions will help with the issue a lot of users are having.
THIS IS FOR 32A MAGIC/SAPPHIRE ONLY!!!
IMPORTANT NOTES (THANKS XAUEIOUS!)
xaueious said:
For everyone who is flashing to 1.76.2007 and getting S-ON in their HBOOT,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=643291
They should know that they need to use the command "fastboot enableqxdm 0" to get S-OFF back with that SPL. This information should go in your SPL + radio update post.
Also, ezterry and lbcoder confirmed the reason of SPL+radio flash bricks, and is suggesting a way to flash the SPL+radio to avoid bricks. :

In short, wipe the system and boot partitions in addition to recovery, and end with the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader"

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader
- Your phone will reboot back into FASTBOOT.
- Verify that you now have the 6.35.10.18 Radio and 1.76.2007 SPL.
CONGRATULATIONS! You can now flash the CursorSense32A ROM!
There will be other ROMs soon that use this Radio and SPL. It's just a matter of time.
Upgrade from 6.35.07.29 to a new version
You can upgrade radio version from 6.35.07.29 to 6.35.08.29 or 6.35.10.18 without wiping, reflashing or losing any data.

Great work
Well done Cursordroid
These instructions were great, the old ones forgot about the send button to activate in recovery and the reboot-bootloader at the end was helpful.
Thanks
cursordroid, you have my eternal respect
Thanks a million for your support and for this thread also. I think I've read every single thread here in order to get familiar with android and what the hell is that I'm doing.
Nice job. Also, thanks everyone who is working in order to deliver high quality roms and apps.

Thanks main , i have flashed Radio and spl now. waiting for flashing to CursorSense xD
Hi
Maybe a verry a dumb question....but i want to ask it anyway.
I was wondering if there is another way to update the radio and SPL.
I only have Windows 7 and as far as i know there are some little problems with htc drivers and android sdk and i really don`t want to brick my phone.
Can`t we update them with Amon RA`s recovery just like we do with a new rom? (by pressing power and home button and renaming this files to update.zip and apply them?)

You don't have fastboot mode with Windows 7?
That is a good thing to know (that we can update radio and SPL under Windows 7)

When i flash your radio,some error come.
E:\flash>fastboot flash radio radio.img
sending 'radio' (21376 KB)... OKAY
writing 'radio'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
Now,i found the way to slove this problem.
If your SPL is 0009 S-ON,you must update it to Engineering SPL 1.33.2010 first.
I fount the SPL here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019
cursordroid: Is there any advantage in using the upgraded radio? (Other than to run your ROM) Thanks!
Update: Sorry about it. didn't read closely the first time round.
Please help
Guys - every time I try to flash the CursorSense 0.8 ROM from the Recovery menu, my device goes into this infinite loop of rebooting....or, it will just lock-up in Recovery after a few second - and I can't do anything. If I'm lucky enough to be able to click on the "update from ZIP" menu and then select the CursorSense 0.8 ZIP file, the device just goes into an infinite loop of rebooting on me forever!!
here is what I have....I believe that I did everything correct when I upgraded. I came from a very old Recovery (6+ months old) but all the updates from the instructions I found here in this thread went perfectly. Could someone PLEASE point me in the right direction? I would be GRATEFUL!

Anyone? Thanks SO much!
UPDATE
OK - so after stopping to eat breakfast and get my head together, I realized I was NOT using the HERO version of the Recovery file. So - I re-did the steps with the HERO version of the recovery, and now at least I don't lock-up or reboot when in the recovery menu.
NOW - when i attempt to run the update with the CursorSense 0.8 ROM, it starts to find and open the package (as normal) - but then about 5 seconds into this, it stops, and the screen returns right back to the main "Recovery" menu. When I try to do it again - the same thing happens.
I'm ALMOST there...! Any suggestions on this last issue as to why the update process starts...and then abruptly stops and goes back to the main recovery menu?
Thanks again!!
UPDATE # 2
So - NO - I'm really not an idiot...but for some reason, I decided to walk through all the steps in this thread again (except for the radio update because it was done already) - and now it all WORKED! The one extra step I took was wiping my SD card (which was a basic card with NO extra partitions and I have used it to flash dozens of other ROM's without an issue) and started from scratch with that too, just in case. Well, it worked!! I just installed the CursorSense 0.8 ROM successfully and it is booting now (nice Nexus boot screen BTW).
So - thanks for letting me vent and ask for help on this thread...it made me double and triple check a few things, and bam! I got through it.
As always - this forum and you guys are ridiculously amazing!
Happy holidays

only upgrade radio and spl,you won't lost any data.
Hey Guys
Just wondering, when you run the "full nandroid backup", do you use the recovery for the magic or the one you download for the hero?
Sorry if this seems a rather simple question to many of you, I'm brand new to this.
Thanks for any help

Stuck with Vodafone 32B root (1.33.0007)

Hi
Been trying to root my uk vodafone 32b magic today, which was originally on a perfected 1.33.0007 spl. I followed guides over at unlockr.com to use a goldcard to flash the danger spl of 1.33.2005, which has worked, but im stuck beyond that. I can boot the recovery image (have to use the H version now as my phone now shows itself as an H/32A on the fastboot screen), but when i update to the cyanogen mod the phone freezes on the splash screen.
It just sticks at the vodafone logo following applying the two zip files. Is it anything to do with flashing the danger spl and the device now has the 32A stuff on it (i.e. it shows as 32B ENG S-OFF H now rather than G).
The infor on the fastboot screen is now as follows:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT - 1.33.2005 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO - 3.22.20.17
If anyone could give exact instructions on what i need to do i would much appreciate it..... im not sure whether i need to flash 32B radios or what...
Thanks in advance!
You need to flash a 32A/EBI1 port because your radio is 3.22.20.17.
Your UK vodafone came with that radio?
