I finally semi-bricked my phone! Any help would be appreciated, thanks. - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

Well I don't know what I was thinking, but I flashed a My Touch radio (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640535) on my 32a Magic. Now I can't get past the Rogers logo. I've read that if I boot my phone while pressing home+power after entering 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img', that I will be able to get back into the recovery image and fastboot screen. Now the question I have is what recovery image should I use? The My Touch one, or the 32a Magic one?
Any other ideas would be appreciated.

use the recovery that corresponds with the radio you flashed (mytouch in this case) - should work fine.

The 32A recovery works on the MyTouch LE (Fender Edition) phones.
What is the exact radio/SPL version on your phone?
I've 'semi-bricked' my phone like this before too. It's scary, but fixable.

You have no idea how many times I hear myself think the very same thing... But I wouldn't have learned that the Hero SPL 1.76.2007 works on the 32A Magic unless I was a little reckless.

Why dont you boot into fastboot (back and power) and do the following:
Download the 3.22.20.17, 1.33.2010 SPL and 32a recovery
Radio: http://briancrook.ca/magic/3.22/Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_3.22.20.17.img
SPL: http://briancrook.ca/magic/3.22/hboot-1.33.2010.img
Recovery: http://briancrook.ca/magic/3.22/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H-pink.img
Code:
fastboot flash radio Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_3.22.20.17.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.2010.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H-pink.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader
This will wipe the entire system partition but won't touch your /data. You will reboot into fastboot after the last command. Make sure you have the 3.xx radio and SPL. Reboot into recovery.
Hope this works.

This may be a bit off topic, but you can test recovery without installing.
Code:

Thought this was cool when I came across it a few days ago. (wanted to see what these carebears were about....

if u can reach fastboot y not flash ->
32A new radio or old radio + new radio or old spl
Edit dont flash recovery -> boot recovery
fastboot boot recovery.....img

Well, I like to test things out, and if I'm trying to troubleshoot what recovery works with a new radio, this would be how. The OP was asking which recovery works with his radio, just giving him tools to figure it out.

hero recovery works with new radio 32A magic
but 1.5.3.1 not 1.6.something

Radio: 2.22.23.02

What recovery image should I try using with that combination?

Since you haven't yet said.. Can you access fastboot?
If not, can fastboot or adb find your phone when your stuck on the Rogers splash?

use gold card while fastboot -> and go to original sense rom -> think this as last option
its not rooted yet so (i think so!!)

Will the gold card method work if I can't get into fastboot?

i think, from past reading on here... your on the right track...
u need to have the phone powered off... plug in the usb cable to the phone and computer.
then try these commands
Code:
fastboot kill server
fastboot boot <your.32b.recoveryimage.img>
you should then hopefully see
<waiting for device>
then try powering up your phone... and if it boots...
flash your radio.. spl ... rom etc...
hope this works for you

How do I flash radio and recovery throught fast boot?

Move radio.img from your sdcard and into a folder where adb can access it.
Move to your tools folder.
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img

When the mobile is powered down you go to the general section and ask since this is the development section. But before you post yet another question you use the search since you'll find the answer to this several places already!
radio 6.35.07.29 is only for new spl from official sens ui rom.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL!
You don't really sound like you know what you're doing here...
You could turn your phone into an expensive paperweight if you're not careful.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589722
Do not flash the 6.35.07.29 radio until you know absolutely what you are doing.

You need to flash the Sapphire H recovery.img through fastboot.
The Hero recovery you've flashed is causing issues. It only works when the 6.35.07.29 radio is running.

It works, you must give it som time... use adb logcat to see what your phone is doing...
But there is no Wifi or G-sensor working with this port, so use sanpeis Senseui2.1 based on eris its a single file flash (new radio) with working G-sensor and WIFI

I remember i was really scared, when i should change my radio for the first time... it is one of the way you can brick your phone tho...
BUT if you prepare your self you can make it as safe as possible.
Few steps i've made to make it safer:
1 - I've made two folders on my computer, one called "newradio" and the other "oldradio"
2 - Copied fastboot from sdk/tools/ to both of the folders
3 - Copied this three files to "newradio" folder
a - The 6.35.10.18 Radio Image
b - The 1.76.2007 SPL HBOOT image
c - The Amon_RA Hero Recovery
4 - Copied this three files to "oldradio" folder
a - 3.22.20.17 Radio image
b - 1.33.2010 Engineering SPL HBOOT image
c - Amon_RA Sapphire H Recovery
You can rename the files to easier names, for example Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_6.35.10.18.img to radio6351018 or newradio and so on, you can name it to what you find easy,it is your choice. For this example i named my files to "newradio", "newhboot" and "newrecovery"
Now if you want to flash new radio, open a terminal window, and in it go to the "newradio" folder
cd /whatever/path/to/newradio/
fastboot flash radio newradio
fastboot flash hboot newhboot
fastboot flash recovery newrecovery
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader
If you want to flash back to old radio, once again, in terminal go to the "oldradio" folder
cd /whatever/path/to/oldradio/
fastboot flash radio oldradio
fastboot flash hboot oldhboot
fastboot flash recovery oldrecovery
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader
REMEMBER to alawys be alert, double check what you are writing... flash the radio first, then hboot and last the recovery, only in this order!
Every file and the instructions are from Cursors thread. read it, and the flashing of radios are gonna be easy
GOOD LUCK
i've used new radio already, Try on your luck!
what's the deal with new radio. i scare to do it as well but considering to do it. but first why is so great to have new radio ?

How i have understand it, new radio not only changes the radio, it changes the size of the partitions system uses, so the new roms does not fit to "old radio", without modifications anyway... but i could be wrong

Upgrade to Radio 6.35.10.18 ONLY

Hi,
My phone is running in radio 3.22.20.17, SPL 1.33.2010 but S-ON which prevent me from using the fastboot flash command as explained by cursordroids in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239
I'm thinking of using another procedure by using Amon RA recovery image and flashing signed update.zip for the radio and for the SPL.
The problem with this procedure is that my phone reboots in between the two updates (the radio update and the spl update) so at one point, i've got a phone running Radio version 6.35.xxx and the old SPL 1.33.2010.
I've no idea how the phone will react. Am i going to birck it ? Does anybody already tried this ?
Thanks for your feedbacks.
Seriously? Did you even read his instructions?
----- If you do not have an Engineering SPL, download 1.33.2010 and flash through recovery before starting this procedure. Flash the SPL update.zip like any other update.zip file.
Straight from his post.
How much more simple does a dev have to make it in order for members like you to do this.

Seriously, did you even read what he wrote?
He has an engineering SPL already but his phobe is still showing S-ON.
Now, what i would do if i were him is the following.
Test if the command fastboot boot recovery.img works.
If it does then i would flash the radio through the recovery, afterwards i would boot the HERO recovery and use it to flash the new spl.
Bare in mind that i did not test this method and nor do i plan to test it.
Hi,
Thanks eygor that have pointed correctly my situation.
So YES i can fastboot (i need to add some flags as my magic disable the sdcard by default) and this what i'm going to use.... flashing via a signed zip file BUT i do not know how the phone will react by having a radio 6.35.10.18 dissociated from the SPL (still in version 1.33.2010....yes the engineering version).
Anybody has had any experience with this. ?
Question:
- My rom is rooted, am i able to use flash_image to update the SPL and the radio ?
- Receovry_Ra does not provide the flash_image command or am i wrong ?

LOL Please show where he says that it's an engineeringSPL.
Anyways, if you got fastboot working why not work from there? If you're asking what I think youre asking cause I'm not sure... you just flash radio in fastboot and then flash SPL (doesnt matter if you still have the old spl , just flash the new one after radio) then flash recovery
1.33.2010
Sounds like an engineering SPL.
If you have a 32A device, use the 3.04.401.2 Europe RUU with a goldcard. Then use the SU within that ROM to install hero recovery. Finally use hero recovery to flash the rest of the stuff you need.

Hi xaueious,
I've read the article explaining the use of 3.04.401.2 Europe RUU with a goldcard.
They clearly mention to copy rom1.zip into the Goldcard and rename it SAPPIMG.zip
(see post from JcMatos http://forum.xda-developers.com/printthread.php?t=625108&pp=10&page=7)
My problem is that rom1.zip does not contain any upgrade of the radio or the SPL (it's contained in the rom.zip). So if i follow correctly the instruction, i get my magic updated with a new rom but still with my old SPL and Radio remains identical. I do have a high risk of having my magic bricked.
Am i missing something ?

well u need to flash back the stock radio, spl, and amen ras recovery.. while in fastboot via adb...and flash in that order.. and make sure adb shell is working
The problem is I was unable to flash anything, I kept getting the error "remote: signature verify fail" or something along those lines.
However I was able to flash the stock MYTOUCH3G back on just now using the sappimg method again. But yet again I can't flash anything at the moment, because I have the stock SPL and radio back.

Well I will try again here right now, I'll get back to you asap as soon as I find out what happens, thanks for all the help!

yes ive read threads and all but still cant manage to get a custom rom
i have rooted the phone through unlockr steps...then followed cursors steps to update to radio 6.35.10.18 and spl 1.76.2007...and i put the amon ra hero-v1.6.2 recovery on my phone
now the problem is that when i try booting into recovery using the home+power button nothing happens it turns on to the "htc magic" screen and hangs
then i saw amon ra's post that said place the rom on the sd card and then boot...tried that nothing..it hangs again
any help would suffice...i know im doing something wrong but the phone works with amon ra sapphire-v1.6.2G with stock radio and spl

then i saw amon ra's post that said place the rom on the sd card and then boot...tried that nothing..it hangs again
any help would suffice...i know im doing something wrong but the phone works with amon ra sapphire-v1.6.2G with stock radio and spl
thanks again

What phone?
If you're using RA's "G" recovery, you've got a 32b phone.
Try booting into fastboot and if that doesn't work than you've got a pretty nice looking paperweight.
You might be able to reverse it with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591048&highlight=jtag
but don't get your hopes up
Sorry about your luck dude
Hmmm.... yeah..ur fastboot info would help.

If the problem is only with the recovery image you should be able to fix it. Boot the phone in fastboot mode (vol-down + power). Then do this:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.6.2.img
You can get the recovery image here:

I have the exact phone as you do, and am having the same problem! Glad to see this post is getting some responses. Hopefully we can get something figured out. I as well have followed the same steps you did to unlock your phone and flash the new radio/spl. I've tried multiple recovery files and nothing changes, just sits at htc magic screen.
Woah I guess you missed THIS IS FOR 32A MAGIC/SAPPHIRE ONLY!!! in the thread about upgrading.
If that wasn't clear enough that it was not for your phone than the revert to 3.22 radio part must have been. (Why? Because you did not have that radio in the first place, and you cant revert to something that you did not have.)
That radio and spl DO NOT WORK on the new mytouch 1.2
Actually, you need to downgrade to the 2.22.23 (stock) radio and "G" recovery. As long as you've booted into fastboot with your goldcard in (missing SAPPIMG) without a "perfect" SPL, it can be done. Total pain, but it can be done...
You may need to "fastboot erase radio", "fastboot erase recovery" and "fastboot erase boot" just before flashing them again. As I recall, it doesn't "take" unless you've done this.
Good luck!
eyegor, you posted a statement from the origional thread stating "THIS IS FOR 32A MAGIC/SAPPHIRE ONLY!!!" But what about the fact that we have a Sapphire phone? in fastboot ours state "SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G" Doesn't that show we have the correct phone? I understand what your saying about the 3.22 radio
The Mytouch 3g Fender/LE/1.2 is not a normal 32a phone. It's unique. If you wanna do anything with a fender or 1.2, make sure the instructions say they're for that exact phone. Stuff for the G1 or original Mytouch 3g or any of it's varients won't work on the 1.2(except for cyanogen's new 2.1 testing rom which has fender/1.2 patches integrated now)
So if the post says its for the 32A, I/we shouldn't assum its for the Fender/1.2? Only use roms that say they are for Fender/1.2?
Every phone of this kind says SAPPHIRE....refer to the rest of my post.
