Hi
A friend gave me his htc magic because he crashed him.
he has already rooted his device
he put 2.1 rom and he decided to put another "fastest" and he crash his device
he told me that radio is bugged and his rom too.
I think with what i read on this forum that it's semi bricked because i can go to the Fastboot with pushing back and Power
When i put him on regulary i get Rogers screen then a Black screen.
What do you think about it ? bricked ? semi bricked ? Recoverable ?
here is a Video who show what happen when i press differents Buttoms
youtube.com/watch?v=MaSAh_8YK2E
Thanks
Need more exact details on which Magic it is. Can you read off the fastboot screen.
it's a 32A magic
The first version without jack 3.5

Hrm... new radio.
Assuming he already rooted the device, but didn't have a working rom for the radio combination, try one of the "New Radio" roms for 32A and see if it works (Can you get into recovery?)
Like t his 32A Port of OpenEclair for New Radios

If you can't get into recovery you may need to flash the 1.6.2H recovery image from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
and if you can't flash recovery (due to the SPL being Perfected) and you want to try something from scratch (you may have downgrade the new radio back to 3.xx via this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239 )
You can try something like Cyanogenmod with this 32A Wiki Guide. (Though I *Think* you'll need to get a Engineering SPL to get rid of any Perfecting)

You'll probably need to downgrade to an Engineering SPL for your phone if you are unable to do fastboot flash radio radio.img from the command line.
(I'd look more for you but I'm currently coding a website for a client).
i tryed to make the first part of http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream/Magic32A_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
"if it says 'Remote Not Allow' or similar, your SPL may need to be changed"
They are exactly say that in the commands prompt so i need to flash my Spl i'm actualy trying =)
and i think that i have to make a Gold card to flash my spl
Edit
I tryed to Downgrade my SPL with a tutorial in my language
"http://swissdroid.wordpress.com/2010/02/23/32a-changer-le-spl-ou-le-radio-de-votre-magic/"
And i cannot flash anything they alway say "sending 'xxx' <xxkb>... FAILED (remote: Not allow)
Ans i don't know how i could make a goldcard with a bricked phone.
So What can i do ? ..
The "remote not allowed" means the SPL is perfected. Perfected means that it's "Locked".
You have to make a gold card:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/14/how-to-root-your-mytouch-3g/
Once you have a gold card then you download a new SPL and put it onto the card (read instructions from there):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4332591
Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010
Once you have an Engineering (prefered) or non-perfected SPL you'll be able to flash what you need without the 'remote not allowed' message.
But I must warn you, make sure you read the instructions several times before doing anything and verify that its for your exact device.
Thanks for you Help Kbeezie
I've got a probleme
my phone is reconize when i type fastboot devices
but when i write adb devices , it's found nothing so i can't go to the next step : /
Does i need a non bricked magic to make a gold card ?

You can't do adb from fastboot, only from the recovery. If you flashed a new SPL (Engineering) You need to then flash the appropriate recovery/radio/hboot, then when you turn off the phone you press and hold down Home + Power to get into Recovery mode, once there then you can do adb, or you can mount the USB and copy over an update.zip or rom file.
Kind of hoping someone with experience on the older Magic/MyTouch (32B) chimes in.
Okay
but i can't flash recovery so
i need flash my Spl and i can't flash normaly my spl 'not allowed"
so i need to make a goldcard and i need use Adb commands so how can i make goldcard ? i don't understand ..

The new SPL is placed on the goldcard, then you do volume down + power in order to Hboot, doing so will cause it to update the SPL package. You don't flash an SPL with fastboot command .
yes but i can't make the goldcard for flashing my SPL because i need to make adb commands so what can i do ? ..
I'm sorry i really don't understand :$
It mean that my magic is dead ? ..
How did you write your fastboot info if you cant access fastboot mode? I cant believe that someone could memorize every detail, including the exact list of options.
Its just that that SPL is a perfected one...you could try re-flashing it by using a goldcard via fastboot. Or try running RUU.

As long as you can enter fastboot mode, its not bricked.
i have acces to my fastboot mode
But i have probleme with creating the goldcard to flash the SPL.
In the step to create goldcard i need tu use ADb commands to get my CID but i can't use them.
So how could i get my CID ?
And Kbeezie Told me that it's because it's in recovery that we can use those commands.
So how can i make the goldcard ?
That what i don't understand :$
Thanks for the help everyone

just curious, what was your previous radio and SPL version before upgrade?
radio i can't remember but lower then the required for the cursersence rom
HOW CAN I REBOOT SYSTEM ERASE ALL FILES ON SYSTEM AND LOAD NEW HBOOT, RADIO ETC LIKE STOCK
Let's do this one step at a time.
Can you go into fastboot or recover screen at all?
If you can, downgrade back to something usable again (search for downgrading radio) and try again.
If you can not get back into fastboot or recovery, then you have a major issue.
Good luck

This is definitely the issue.

Then boot into fastboot mode and from your PC, type:

(NOTE: to select items in the recovery menu with the Hero recovery, you need to use the Green Send key instead of the trackball key)
You might have issues reverting back to 32A 3.22 radio, but that's another topic.

First of all, you owe me nothing. I'm not going to charge you for my help, but if you want to donate that's totally up to you.
As of right now you should have:
SPL: HBOOT-1.76.2007
Radio: 6.35.07.29
Confirm this information in FASTBOOT mode. (Power on by holding Back and pressing Power)
If you have not flashed the Hero Recovery, do that now.
Download it from here:
http://www.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img
Flash it to your phone using fastboot mode
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img
Press Menu to power off your phone, then boot into Recovery by holding Home and pressing Power.
In the recovery you should see this at the bottom:
Code:
Build: RA-hero-v1.5.2
Note that when using the Hero Recovery on Magic 32A, the green Send/Talk key selects items, not the trackball button.
Download CursorSense32A from the thread in this forum, save it to SD.
Flash through recovery mode as normal. Make sure to wipe using the recovery menu options first.

Hello All,
I've tried my hardest to search all over the forums but I still can't figure this out. I'm highlighting all I've tried to eliminate all that junk.
I have a 32A magic and I tried updating the ROM via this post.
I actually installed the radio 6.35.08.29 a little bit lower on the post using recovery mode while it was on my SD.
My device is rooted via theunlockr.com's one click rooting.
I think this was the problem because I was supposed to install the radio 6.35.10.18 because as soon as it was finished installing and rebooting, it keeps rebooting and doesn't even get past the splash screen
Here's where the issues start making me want to pull my hair out.
The good news (from what I'm hearing) is that I can still boot into fastboot and HBoot modes, but I can't get to restore mode at all
I'm getting better with the sdk so I'm understanding fastboot etc now but the main problem I believe is that it won't recognize my device.
I am on windows 7, but yes I've installed the latest drivers and device manager is recognizing it but when I try in cmnd to type adb devices it shows "List of devices attached" and it's emtpy.
I try to type something like adb bugreport and it comes back "error: device not found"
So clearly it doesn't seem to be recognizing the device.
What I was trying to do what push another radio to the device or something but at this point I have no idea what I am to do, especially since I can't get to restore!! Grr!
Any ideas?
p.s.
I thought I'd mention that I think this may be because I didn't (and cannot) select USB debugging from the menu as I can't load the device...
May be bricked... Oh well lol

apply the update.zip
then you should be able to fastboot the prev instructions
just fyi make sure u check your radio on the fastboot screen before using the hero or sapphire recovery - make sure you use the proper one!

In my defense i'm a noob who only now understands that I can't remote fastboot using my current SPL.
Now my phone hangs on the ROGERS splash screen.
I can get into HBOOT, FASTBOOT and RECOVERY. However I do not have any previous .img files to flash (I created a backup a few months ago and now I can't find it).
I have searched this forum (and elsewhere) and I cannot find how to restore my phone (I find lots of threads saying you can, but none with any useful steps)

Ok now I have a new problem.
I upgraded my SPL to 1.33.2010.
I'm trying to upgrade my Radio next however fastboot just hangs. It recognizes the device but when I "flash radio" it just sits at "send" forever.
I have tried reinstalling all my drivers and the sdk tools. Same problem.
Anybody have ideas?
Are you trying to follow the Cursordroid's guide to update to Radio 6.35.x / SPL 1.76? In that case it's strange to hear the send process loops forever.
1. have you double checked fastboot recognises your device? (fastboot devices)
2. is your USB cable plugged?

Yes I am following Cursordriods guide and Amrons. I spent 12 hours and didn't go to bed last night working on this stupid problem. I was at my wits end. Hair sticking up, nervous eye and head twitches, rings around eyes, and 20 hail mary's later I tried an absolutely desperate move and plugged my USB cable into the back USB ports instead of the front ones.........it worked. I didn't know if I should cry or beat my computer with a baseball bat.
Anyway. Thank you to everyone who were helping me out. Nice community here.
Cursordriods Sense ROM rocks. Highly recommended.
I updated the Radio on my 32a then I went to Fastboot mode to load the hboot image and discovered that i get a (failed : remote not allowed) message everytime I try to flash anything. So I guess I need a goldcard the only problem is I can't boot up to reformat the SD and make a goldcard...
Any idea's??
I'm lost!!
Can someone make a Goldcard for me, on another phone? I don't know what to do,
Thanks in advance...
anyone???
I'll pay for a goldcard if someone sends me one, assuming I can use one made on another phone in my phone. I need a way to get past my Fastboot mode and I can't boot to recovery or get anywhere else... to make a Goldcard
HELP?!?!
i used my memory card that came with my phone to create a gold card and it worked perfectly well just make sure you follow the guide to the letter.
you cant use one from another phone as you have to get the CID from your phone which is unique from phone to phone.
i believe what you should of done was flash the image first then update the radio but just search the forums theres bound to be someone with the same problem or even a google search might help

What's your HBOOT version? I got that while upgrading my RADIO. All I had to do was install an engineering SPL first. Then I was able to flash the new SPL.
you need to post more info. what radio did u upgrade to and whats your spl/hboot? Also, what recovery did u use?
I also noticed you saying something about the blueLED, I thought you could still get into fastboot...
can you still get into fastboot? I'm confused, cause you went from being able to go into fastboot and then now it's completely dead?

I the current recovery is RA-magic-v1.2.3H and I was trying to upgrade to RA-hero-v1.6.2 and Hboot 1.76.2007.
I got the radio upgraded but when I go to Fastboot to flash the hboot i get the (Failure: remote not allowed) error. So I can't change anything with the current hboot. I'm guessing I need a goldcard since I can't get to recovery mode, but every set of instructions for making a Goldcard requires the phone to be in adb shell mode which i can't get too.
At this point i don't care if i get the new radio on or not I just want it working again. I was running the SuperD 1.9.3 ROM with the Old radio...
The Blue LED issue wasn't me, I dont know who that is or what that was about.. I CAN still get to fastboot
Um, is that an engineering SPL? I believe you need one before doing this.
Did you try flashing the old radio again? Also, how did you upgrade your radio? Did you use Fastboot or Recovery?
If you can't flash anything.. well I dunno what else to do, never seen this problem yet. Maybe someone else with some more knowledge can help you, but try searching. I'm sure you're not the only one who's been through this situation.
Give this a try, I have no idea if it works though.

If you flash an engineering SPL you'll be able to continue. Flash 1.33.2010 and then continue from there. That happened to me too.
If you can read:
Prerequisites:
- HTC Magic / Sapphire 32A
- Engineering SPL
----- 1.33.2005
----- 1.33.2009
----- 1.33.2010
----- If you boot into fastboot and have issues with "fastboot:remote not allow", then your SPL won't work. Upgrade to Engineering SPL before continuing.
----- 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.
- Working ADB/Fastboot Drivers
- Basic knowledge or modding your phone

how do I flash it through recovery if I can't boot into recovery?
can your computer detect the device? can ADB detect it? Can you get into fastboot mode (Power+Back)? You could try to flash the engineer SPL (and the old radio) through command prompt:
Do it in this order:
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-v1.5.2H.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader
The files you'll need are all at this topic.
perhaps you missed the part about any fastboot command giving me a
FAILURE <remote: not allow> error
The one thing that gives me hope is that I get about 1-2 seconds of response from adb during boot up before it shuts down and starts the boot process again. If I knew how to run an update.zip from adb shell in one or two commmands maybe i have a chance at loading the old radio or engineering SPL or something. If I try to get to recovery mode it locks up after a second and I can't run the update through the menu...

It's like a liveCD boot. Or maybe flash the old radio back on.

The one thing that gives me hope is that I get about 1-2 seconds of response from adb during boot up before it shuts down and starts the boot process again. If I knew how to run an update.zip from adb shell in one or two commmands maybe i have a chance at loading the old radio or engineering SPL or something. If I try to get to recovery mode it locks up after a second and I can't run the update through the menu...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Isn't there an HBoot mode that applies whatever is in an update.zip file? You may be able to recover your radio that way.
Windos or Lenox
i have bricked my mytouch the red screen of death VodaFone. i am trying the unbrick method (fastboot boot recover.img)

bricked mytouch1.0 with the new software 1.6 from htc gold card the vodafone sap.img because the usa was giving a version on device is older.
i was trying to change radio then spl looked like flash radio just fine went to the reboot then never came back from the vodafone screen.
cant fastboot and cant go to recovery
charging light just fine
Brick
ive came to the concluion that i did everything right it just bricked anyways. i think im going to send it to htc and see how much they will charge me
Hello everyone,
I've read all the topics how to root the my touch. I've downloaded different kinds of img recovery but still unable to root this "naughty" phone.
I want to explain what I did...
First of all, when I push Home button and power button, I'm not able to get in recovery mode because there appeared a big triangle with " ! ". I left it for a while but it kept showing that image. So I cannot use recovery mode some how
Then I downloaded
flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2.apk
flashrec-20090815.apk
I used Linda Manager to open those files.
One was successful installed but after that when I push button Backup Recovery Image it didn't work (Backup FAILED: could not run command )
Other ones just kept showing :"Parse Error"
Not giving up, I tried to use Fast boot to change recovery img. When I was in commander it showed:" c:\sdk\tools>fastboot boot recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img
downloading 'recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img' . . . FAILED (remote: not allow )
And then I tried to do again and again but => Failed
I spent 6 hours doing these things (( and I got nothing. Can anyone explain me how to root it in my case pleaseeeeeeee.
P/S: when I am in fastboot mode, it showed that my device is 32A but in G ?_?, I cannot understand when people say that 32A is H and 32B is G. Is my model is unique =))????
Thank you in advance !!
"(remote: not allow )" means you have a perfected SPL, means you have to downgrade the SPL to a non-perfected SPL (such as an engineering one), and in some cases you need to make a gold card out of an SD card in order to make it accept the downgrade.
And that's something you can easily find riddled on almost every page of this site.
Sounds like you failed to downgrade back to cupcake. Anyhow I followed to below guide when I first did my mytouch.

I tried to downgrade back to cupcake . I downloaded the file nbh( ~9x MBs) and then pushed Volume down and power button. Then track the ball down but it failed too >"<..........................................
@kbeezie: do you know which topic explain carefully about the process to do that ? ?
Tell us what info you see when you enter fastboot please.
all right,here's the way to upgrade spl 1.76.0007 to the eng spl 1.76.2007, which post by cadetnudt on a chinese android forum. i'm not sure whether it worked for t-mobile or rogers...
here's how:
1.make a goldcard.
2.download [RUU][32A][CONTAIN SU] 3.04.401.2 Official RUU Sapphire HTC Europe AT test signed. and use it to flash your phone to the 3.04.401.2. you should now have a 1.76.0008 spl.
3.install a app named BETTER TERMINAL
4.get the Amon_RA's recovery recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
5. flash the recovery in BETTER TERMINAL by typing these:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
6.you can now reboot to the new Amon_RA's recovery. feel free to flash the 1.76.2007 spl !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then I tried to open recovery img file with hope in Fastboot mode, but it still update "boot.img" ... Failed >"<!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the third day I'm messing up with it (((.
