Mirror the similar thread in Dream forum, I started this thread as a constructive and positive place for those of us that have recently lost our MyTouch or Magic.
I am going to document the steps I took and hopefully reverse engineer this issue and also prevent other folks from doing the same mistake. This forum has been and good source of info. Thanks
What I did
Following [How-To] Root the T-Mobile myTouch 3G and I was able to flush to 2005 SPL and root successful as 32A rom.
Then I stop at "For Daredevils" and went with a different route.
I took the MT3G OTA (signed-opal-ota-150449.95700137.zip) and resigned it with test key and try to update it.
Update was done successfully and radio firmware updated at the same time and once reboot I got red screen of death.
What I got now
Red brick or Red screen of death
Power up while holding 'Back' button, volume down or any other button always result in Red Vodafone logo of death. I can't get to fastboot.
I can't get to recovery or fastboot which mean I can't do anything at all.
What I suspect
Flashing the radio (unclear what ver#) from MT3G OTA build (signed-opal-ota-150449.95700137.zip) might be that reason why it bricked.
Perhaps I probably should have followed the rest of the steps on "For Daredevils" and flash the ION radio and 32B RAv1.2.0G recovery, after that than trying to update with MT3G OTA without the radio.
I read somewhere in the forum (I forgot where), the reason why a bricked phone couldn't boot to SPL and not able to fastboot was because the radio firmware was loaded during SPL startup. Due to issue with loading radio firmware, SPL won't start properly.
Base on that, what we can try is to re-flash the radio firmware. How?
Maybe i can put the radio firmware as update.zip but how can i get the phone to load it when i can't fastboot

It's my opinion. If there is a way, that probably (track ball)+(power), the only key combination we(?) can see .
Let's find a way!

I think we have exactly same problem.
I'm sorry. I misunderstood. But I flashed ION radio. then...I got a pretty red brick!
I do not believe my phone is bricked but I believe it's pretty close...
My Rogers HTC Magic will not boot/load any recovery. I had a fully functional magic for several months using lots of different roms, however I developed a problem with one of the roms and after trying to install a new one, I can no longer boot any rom.
I can only boot into the fastboot screen, which says the following:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A ENG S-OFF H

Everytime I try to either boot ANY (RA/cyan version) recoveries from either fastboot or flashing it, it does not want to start up.
I can flash just fine, however I do not know if anything is working correctly because only fastboot is accessible, everything else just sits at a rogers logo.
What should I do next?

you can get the radio img's from htc...

I have flashed the radio and still get only a rogers screen. I also have reflashed everything with original rogers magic files found on the forum (boot/system/userdata/recovery).
Still only have fastboot working
UPDATE: Got Recovery working. I flashed the radio/recovery from a givemeroot.zip I saw for those flashing the mt3g. I believe it can be used on this as well. Next step is to get a rom loaded
Flashed HardSPL and permabrick mt3g
I have been running Hero ROM's with no issues until today when I flashed a Hard SPL because I wanted to try Cyanogen latest. The new SPL bricked the phone, no power -splash- hboot, just a black screen.
The previous ROM's I have been flashing didn't need a new SPL. Are you not supposed to flash the SPL on the mt3g?
Thanks in advance for the input.

ummm... okay, I believe it could be easy goings here, if you go to one of the threads, which I believe you can find fairly easily, to switch radio/SPL through fastboot...
Rogers Magic should NOT use 2.22 radio, but either 3.22 or 6.35, unless of course you are using the dream, which is a different thing all together. Then, push the recovery you want (clockwork or amon RA), if after switch spl/radio, does not work. and voila, theres your fix
**NVM, didn't realize your question got answered
Hi,
I'm a newbie with android but have spent a lot of time the last few days reading the forums, and I can't seem to find any reasonable solution.
I have a Magic 32B from Vodafone germany.
So I started by following Cyanogens instructions...
. Install_the_Latest_Android_sdk
. Downloaded latest CM recovery
. Download the HTC Android 1.6 base image:
* http://www.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=enomther/ROM/&file=HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip
. Download the latest CyanogenMod ROM for your device:
* http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/update-cm-4.2.3.1-signed.zip
. Put both of these files on your SD card
. Plug the phone into the computer
. Reboot into fastboot, and pressed back button until it appeared in a bar. Although for me it was Red not yellow.
. Ran fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.4.img
However I received the error of perfect SPLs. So I used the instructions from Amon_RA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218
Copied ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010) to my GoldedSD card.
This completed successfully....However, when it boots in recovery mode I just see a black screen that says htc magic. And it stays there. Left it for about 10 mins and nothing.
I tried pulling the battery, it booted regularly and into Android 1.5.
So I thought I tried flashbooting CM-recovery1.4. Now the flashboot worked at sending over the cm-recoveryAgain, black screen just saying htcmagic.
Can someone please help me, my goal is to load a recovery rom, than install CyMod's Rom. I was following http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
For reference, before starting my "upgrade" the phone was:
sapphire unknown 32B ship s-on G

Thanks in advance!
P.S. I forgot to mention, I also tried booting recovery mode without the SD card, and same result.
Can't boot recovery
Ok, can someone at least tell me why I can't boot a recovery image? Are there any reasons?
exactly the same is my situation
that gold card thing just messes things up i guess
now u have to flash a 32b radio and how and where u will get it i am also searching fr it if u get a solution leeme know or update the thread
Recovery image issue....Ok, it seems I figured out why the recovery didn't work.
As you may notice from the status, that image flashed the phone from:
sapphire unknown 32B ship s-on G
HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP1000)

So you need a recovery that is now H not G. (like recovery-RA-magic-v1.3.2H.img)
Now recovery is available. So I followed CyM's instructions, just with this recovery image, Erase successful, and write successful.....Fastboot/recovery still working perfect, however telephone freezes on HTC screen during boot.
My thought is I should load an SPL that is G, fastboot RA's G image, then boot into recovery and re-load the CyGens ROM loads (as described).
Can someone with more experience let me know if I'm on the right track.....I was thinking of using RA's update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2004-signed as I believe that is a G SPL (not sure), and where can we get a G radio?

That is not correct! You still need to use a 32B recovery image => recovery-RA-magic-v1.3.2G.img
G = 32B
H = 32A
AmonRa, since I loaded
ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010) from your thread, now my status during fastboot screen reads..H not G.
If i run fastboot boot recovery-RA-magic-v1.3.2G.img it just hangs at HTC screen.
If I run fastboot boot recovery-RA-magic-v1.3.2H.img, I get the recovery menu.
This is why I was thinking of somehow flashing an SPL that is for G, then the G recovery menu, than a G Rom.
So how can I get back to: SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF G? And do I need to flash the radio, if so where can I find radio images?
Thanks AmonRa for your help and all the work!
@Amon Ra
i have the same issue as
@iammenotyou
my phone was
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP10000)
CPL-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
the above was the detail i wanted to downgrade it in order to root it so had to use the GOLD CARD method to bypass the model ID check as i had a perfected SPL
so now i have the following detail
SAPPHIRE EVT1 32B SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP20000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-3.22.20.17
so the radio changed to 32a and also show H here after that gold card flashing
i try to use one click root method got flash rec 1.1.3
and i says
" PHONE TYPE IS EBI1/32A "
and try to flash some G recoveries like recovery-RA-1.3.2G.img
and reboot in try to get flash recovery console it stuck on the boot image saying HTC MAGIC while if i use a H recovery image i get the recovery console
now SIR what can be the solution of this problem
waiting for some experts opinion on this

Hi,
Well as I said, my unit was an 32B with s-on G. After I ran that package in fast boot it became a 32B ENG S-OFF H. Also the recovery images only the H images would work from this point forward. (which are supposedly not for my device)
So I went and tried to load the radio for the G (from HTC ion site) onto it and rebooted instead of also loading the SPL. So now its bricked. HTC logo screen for fastboot, recovery and regular boot.
So I would suggest to anyone with a G unit not to use ROM v2.53.707.2 as that converted it from a G to an H even though the device was supposed to be a G. (Although somehow I'm sure it can be restored, better safe than bricked. Now I just hope the service center can fix it)
SaQuibs: Best of luck....One thing you may wish to try since you've been changed to H like me, and can't boot the regular OS, is to fastboot RA's H recovery image, and than wipe and load an H OS like RA-IONv1.6.2H and see what happens. Since it doesn't include a new radio hopefully it will boot Again good luck!
the problem is not with the ROM 2.53.707.2
the problem is with the GOLD CARD coz i loaded a different rom
wat i did was loaded an H recovery and then loaded a 32b rom but it was stuck on boot screen
i have no plans to brick my phone as the country i live in there are no service centres of repairing places and HTC phones are not sold here we have to import and HTC gives no support as well
so planing to sell it
"So I would suggest to anyone with a G unit not to use ROM v2.53.707.2 as that converted it from a G to an H even though the device was supposed to be a G"
the problem is not with the rom its with the GOLDCARD method as i used a different ROM in the same thread
and what i did was i flashed an H recovery to get the console and flashed a 32b rom in it and phone was stuck at boot screen, so thought i bricked my phone but then again i created a GOLDCARD to get back to normal
so now dont want to experiment anymore
as HTC dont sell there phones in our country and so they do not provide any support for us either no center or repair places if bricked

i have posted a thread also and i have also discussed here
sent PM to qtek and Amon_Ra and few other experts on the forum but didnt get a reply yet
lets c if they can figure out something fool proof and can be fixed its good or i will be selling the phone nxt week
Read this post and execute the part to revert back to the 32B radio and ROM.
The problem is NOT with the goldcard, because that works perfectly.
The problem lays in the fact that you don't know what you are doing, and you flashed a 32A NBH onto a 32B without even knowing what exactly you were flashing

Yeah I was too fast, didn't read everything...
So by using the goldcard method you automatically end up with a "H SPL" and 32A radio? Or is there a way to around this, without manually reflashing another SPL and radio.
I have a Magic 32B with a perfect SPL and the goldcard method is the only way to go, right?
i cant install the fast boot
and is that risky?
and lastly with my current status of the phone which recovery can i use and which roms can i load

When you try to flash a NBH from another country/operator the CID check will fail and the flashing will stop. This is done so people can't just flash a rom from another country.
A goldcard (this is what engineers at HTC use) avoids the CID check (CID = Customer ID). This is the only reason why we use a goldcard, it has nothing to do with fixing a perfected SPL, or getting root, or whatever people tell you.
If you have a perfected SPL you can't use fastboot to flash or boot an image.
To fix this you will have to flash a non perfected SPL.
The only way to get a non perfected SPL is to flash an NBH that contains a non perfected SPL.
The problem is that we only have a few NBH's available that contain a non perfected SPL and a CID from another country/operator.
Unfortunately they are also for 32A devices and not for 32B devices.
This is the only reason why you need to get around the CID check and why you "upgrade" to 32A, and afterwards downgrade back to 32B once you have a non-perfected SPL.
If you have a 32A with a perfected SPL you'll only need a goldcard if your CID is different than the one of the NBH you are flashing, you'll also have no issues with a different radio because the NBH is for a 32A already.
If you find an 32B NBH with a non perfected SPL you'll also not have the different radio problem and you might not even need a goldcard if the CID is the same as the one in your phone.
Please be aware that you don't need to fix a non-perfected SPL to get root.
At the time that I wrote the SPL fix we didn't know about kernel exploits so we used this way to get root. In the mean time other ways are discovered to get root (like flashrec etc..). Those methods will however not fix your SPL so you will still not be able to use fastboot to erase, flash etc.
It's always easier to have an open SPL so you easily use fastboot to flash stuff to your phone.
You can also change the CID in your phone to a super CID (all 11111), when you have a super CID you can flash anything you want and you'll never need a goldcard. Changing the CID is something for another thread
Hope this makes things more clear
@Amon Ra
things are crystal clear the problem with me is i coundnt configure that fastboot thing i followed the instructions on android site but could not install the sdk tool and use fast boot
so just wanted to as that if i use an H recovery to get to the recovery console will it work for me can i flash new ROMs
coz i am already tired dont want to experiment any more
Hi guys.
yesterday i tried to install cyanogene mod.
because i had an perfect spl, i used a Goldcard and flashed this -> ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010)
Everything worked fine. But then i tried to boot/flash the recovery mod but it didn't boot. I tried CM recovery and recovery-RA "G" then out of coriousity it tried the HTC version, and it worked. I thought i have to use the Google version for the 32B from Vodafone?
Anyway, then i wiped and flased HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip and then CM 4.2.5.
(i also only flased the HTC base rom without the CMod but it didnt boot either)
Then i rebooted and got stuck at the HTC MAgic screen forever. i waited like 10 minutes. i tried to make a nandriod backup -> restore but didnt worked either.
I dont know what to do =( now i'm back on original vodafone rom
Buddy, CyanogenMod is for 32A, Vodafone Magics are 32B, you won't be able to boot a 32A image on a 32B device. Sorry.

CyanogenMod is originally built for 32B/Dream users. There are updates that allow it to run on 32A.
Natively your phone should be able to run Cyanogen ROM, but you've somehow flashed the 32A radio, SPL and recovery onto your phone.
You need to get back to the 32B radio and recovery.
This should point you in the right direction.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548834
huh? so why is there a tutorial on the Cyanogen Mod wiki für 32B devices?
--edit--
you mean i flashed a 32A cyanogene rom?
when i flashed via goldcard everything was fine. i could boot into the os
What I'm saying is that by flashing the HTC 2.53 update you've essentially turned your phone into a 32A with less memory. It will boot, but it won't be ideal.
You'd be much better off not using a goldcard for anything and going back to the 32B radio and the G recovery image.
ah okay.
but other methods didnt work for me, because of the SPL version. (wasnt able to boot recovery image from adb with this SPL [fastboot remote: not allow)])
this Relentless Rooter for Magic program didnt work on my pc
I have T-mobile My touch 3g, but after flash new SPL:

I use recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img to up custom rom, when I reboot, It stop at boot screen,I wait 30' but it still at boot screen
I try up any rom, so it same, stop at boot screen
Help me !
Why are you using recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img when you should be using G? You should learn to read instructions.
You also point out that it's a 32B with H (which is fine) but you continue to flash the H recovery..? It appears that you understand the difference between the H and G yet.. you flash the H recovery. Wtf.

OK, first, I used G recovery, but It not work (it stop at boot screen, cannot join recovery screen). So I change H recovery > it OK that all !
Finally, should I use 32A rom or 32B ROM ??? H or G ???
Really? H recovery works for your phone? I've double checked my answer and people with the H, use the G recovery and it works fine for them... Now I'm just confused.
You should be using 32B Roms for your phone.
Correct me if I'm wrong... but I'm quite positive I have this right. What roms are you flashing that cause you to be stuck at the bootscreen
Maybe it has something to do with your radio... I think the H recovery works because of your radio. I'm gonna look it up.
Did you by any chance flash a different radio? If you did... well it appears that radio 3.22.20.17 is from rogers, therefore it's a 32A radio.. but I could be wrong. I haven't found enough info to back this up yet! Maybe someone else can come and help
If you did change and flash a different radio, I'd advise you to be careful before bricking it.
the first time I used, it's T-Mobile myTouch 3G

Ah I just took a look, so apparently, you can flash a 32A radio to your 32B and use the H recovery (reading what amonra just said, had no idea you could do that)
I don't understand why your roms don't work though.
You said it's stuck at boot screen and you wait 30' (What is 30'? 30 seconds, minutes?)
Someone else is probably oging to have to help you with tihs. I haven't dealt with this myself, sorry!
You need to flash 32A ROM ports if you use that radio version.

Thank everyone who gave me advises !
But I still don't understand why my phone is 32B and I can only use H recovery (32A), cannot use G recovery (32B), although tried different versions
my phone has RADIO-3.22.20.17 With this problem, I not confident to up new radio
the radio version dictates which recovery you will be able to use, hence your H recovery.
The only alternative to that radio that you have is the downgrade to 2.xx.xx.xx radio that you previously had.
DO NOT TRY TO FLASH 6.35.xx.xx
Ahh thanks Eyegor, I understand it now. Didn't know 32b users had to do that lol

The recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img worked.
But still can't flash a rom.. have tested the MghtyMax, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=570700
The testing continues.
Mytouch 3G black (T-mobile)( rooting procedure source: theunlocker.com)
I have my touch 3g(old version 3.5 mm headphonejack)
I screwed it up while trying to load Cynogen ROM.
I have access to splash screen and it also loads into
Android Recobery Mode.
This is wht i have in the flash screen:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP30000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.261
HBoot Mode won't work as it says no image found or wrong image.
Is there anything i can do from Androids Recovery mode?
i've tried wipe data/factory resed but in vain. when i try to load the custom ROM, the process aborts and says it cudn't
open the ROM file. I accidentally installed wrong ROM or ROm update which
caused this problem.
Anybody willing to help..would really appreciate it.
All i can say is that you are not bricked.
as long as you can turn it on and access some sort of boot screen your okay. i think
good luck.
ps. i bricked my mytouch3g fender
You're not bricked. I would suggest downloading the ROM file again to be sure that it isn't corrupt. I've had several large files (including ROM updates) get corrupted when transferring them to an SD card. If you can, check the md5sum for the file and verify that it's correct. The CyanogenMod wiki has a ton of other useful troubleshooting tips.
If the custom ROM just won't work, then you should be able to re-flash the original HTC firmware to get the phone working again. It's available online. Good luck!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A brick will freez on the first screen to pop up and NOT boot into recovery... Like stated just re-download either cyanogen or a stock rom... do you have like amon recovery or stock? I suggest getting amons and do nan-back ups before you ever load a new rom to save time.
