Damn!Reboot again and again after flash the RADIO! - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

I flashed the new RADIO and SPL,but forgot to flash a new recovery in HBOOT model. The flash was totally succeed (because after fashing,I tap "fastboot reboot-bootloader" command in HBOOT and it could reboot automatically into hboot model and I can see the new RADIO and SPL had been fashed.
But here comes the problem, I try to reboot my phone into recovery model to flash the new ROM, but no matter I press HOME+POWER or BACK+POWER this time, it reboots again and again at first boot screen, and donnot have any response with the key I tapped!
God! is that bricked? No please don't tell me it's true!

so to clarify, you didn't flash a recovery image and now you don't know why you can't boot to recovery?
boot to fastboot, flash the recovery only, reboot to recovery, flash the rom of your choice and enjoy

Of course, but I cannot boot into fastboot or recovery model now.

*facepalm*
if you can't get into fastboot and you can't get into recovery you just bricked your phone.

while it's bootlooping, can you adb devices and tell us what you get?
i'm surprised that it's bricked because you forgot to flash a recovery, would have thought you could still access fastboot...

I was surprised too.
I don't know why,but I can boot into fastboot model now, but my recovery and rom are still broken.
So I tried to type "fastboot boot recovery.img" on my computer, so that I can enter recovery temporary, but here comes another trouble, it can't mount sdcard now! Display "Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1(or /dev/block/mmcblk0)(No such file or directroy) E:Can't mount SDCARD
!"
So can I use adb shell to install a ROM???

calm down bro....
you didn't brick your phone...
i've same problem after I flashed the new radio SPL HBOOT and recovery...
I've used Hero Recovery...
after u flashed your handset with new radio SPL HBOOT and Recovery, the ROM file DELETED....
so, u just download new rom (that have SAME RADIO HBOOT and Recovery with your handset)
after finished the download, put the file into ROOT SDCard... and then flash it from your RECOVERY....
I've used HERO RECOVERY....
my handset is HTC MAGIC 32A
just do that, if the problem same with me....
BRAVO

I don't recall the OP mentioning what handset they have. If its the MyTouch 3G Limited Edition or 1.2 (has headphone jack on top) a new user to rooting may confuse that with a Magic 32A in which case your instructions without clarifying would surely brick his phone. (Though he's on Fido, so not likely to be a MyTouch, but he didn't even mention of it was a Magic, Hero, G1, or if it was a DVT board instead of a PVT)

You shouldn't offer instructions like this. You have no idea what phone he's using. You offer such a high risk of bricking the phone since most members here fail to read instructions before running a bunch of commands.
He's fido like the above guy said which could mean he's using a rogers magic, but it's also unlikely. Fido doesn't have Magic, so he definitely got it off someone. And since it's rootable (it is unlikely that he could get a hands on a rooted magic here since their lame update) it has a high chance that its from tmo or something which = 32B board.

my phone is htc magic with 32A and it's ENG S-ON so I can't flash a recovery through fastboot, so I have to use "fastboot boot recovery.img" to use a recovery temporary just I said above. I do know that I can put a rom into a sdcard to flash it, but it can't mount sdcard now

Try waiting 30-60 seconds before accessing the SD card. Some recovery images take a while to mount the card.

I need a quick answer guys..

I just helped a buddy (this never happened before) and his mytouch is rooted. He upgraded his SPL to Haykuro's and then, through fastboot, he flashed Amon_Ra's 1.2.2 recovery image. Now, we can't get it past the mytouch screen, but can get into fastboot. Any ideas?
Try flashing another rom?
If you can get into fastboot, you can send a new image to the phone.
I don't recall the exact commands, but if you're in fastboot, you're still good.

Fastboot the recovery image, and then from the recovery, you can flash the new rom.

the recovery image is there. We cant into to recovery to apply the rom.
Get yourself the proper recovery.img for that phone. Not sure what it is, but a quick search will find it. Search for 'mytouch recovery' or 'mt3g recovery'.
Then with the recovery image in your SDK tools folder, run:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
That should at least get you to a point where you can flash a new ROM and commit the proper recovery image to flash using adb commands.
I can't hold your hand through the whole thing, I don't have that phone, but I've been in your situation before.
Ok we tried it, now it says... FAILED(remote: partition does not exist!)
anyone have an idea?
Try to erase Cache
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
then flash recovery:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryxxxxxx***.img (***I'm not sure of the version you use...)

Yeah that's exactl what we did and it worked.
The thing is, we erased the recovvery image and reinstalled it, but now again, it won't go into recovery. I have a feeling he downloaded the wrong Amos_Ra recovery. Probably one for the 32a.

CAN i flash my recovery if i only have root(PERFECT spl, NO custom recovery)

(forgive my poor english first. i don't perfect spl in fact. just consider about the possibility of following situation)
let's ASSUME that i have PERFECT spl and ORIGINAL recovery, but at the same time i have ROOT. CAN i just flash recovery in terminal using the command "flash_image"?
if it doesn't work, is there another way?
Urgent!
Anybody help???
I think you can flash your custom Recovery with the original Radio/SPL but you can also boot your recovery in fastboot mode (back + power)
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
You can also flash the 1.33.2010 Engineering SPL like another update.zip.
Another EDIT: the 1.33.0008 isn't PERFECT SPL, you can flash on it.

Yes, you can flash a recovery using adb. Save the recovery image you want to flash to your sdcard. Open a command prompt at the tools folder of the androidsdk. Then type the command:
Code:
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/<name of the recovery.img>
And you'll have a custom recovery installed. From then on you can replace the perfected SPL. Take a look here.

who could help my G2 magic

A few days ago, a friend present a G2 magic to me, it could be used normally.
However, when i want to flash ROM, i found it could not supports SDCARD in system and in recovery mode, only in fastboot mode.
I got the information in fastboot mode:32B ENG S-ON H ; HBOOT-1.33.2010; CPLD-10; RADIO-3.22.20.17;
You know, it is so interesting, because i could not match the RUU in the list. I think 32B is wrong, because i downloaded the 1.6.2g.img recovery and flash in fastboot mode, it is fake. but 1.6.2h.img is right after i boot the recovery.
First of all, I want to edit S-ON to OFF, for i read some articles in much android BBS, once it will be OFF, the G2 could support SDCARD in recovery mode again and flash other ROM.
I made a goldcard and copy the 2.53.707.2 sappimg.zip in the SDCARD, in fastboot mode, the system rebuilded again. i could power on the phone normally, and it could not support SDCARD.
in adb shell and fastboot mode, i try again to cover orginal hboot with the signed hboot.img(spl-1.33.2010) to OFF, but i failed.
what shall i do? i am nearly crying now.
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
Good thing u reverted to stock SPL. Now the above option might not work.
the 32B is not wrong , the radio is. Flash a 2.xx.xx.xx radio and all will be well.
thanks eyegor
i followed your way, but it was failed. because it showed: signature verify fail.
In fastboot mode, input fastboot erase radio and fastboot flash radio radio.img
is it right?
i think the reason of verify fail is spl-ON.

[SOLVED] Plz help: my phone can't boot now

Dear all, I need your help ASAP.
My phone (rooted) doesn't boot now, adb does not recognizes, fastboot still ok. And I don't know what to do.
Recently I rooted my Desire S and succeeded with the stock ROM. After a coupe of days I dicided to flash Endymion, from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310845
I downloaded Endymion 3.1 into SD, then used Rom Manager to flash it. But then it was not be able to reboot (stucked on splash screen).
After that I rebooted into recovery (4EXT) and formated system, data, cache, boot and retried to install Endymion 3.1.
But then it became worse, now I can't use adb (always says: device not found), normal boots always stucks at splash screen (with green "HTC"). No hard button can be used, I need to reboot by take off the battery, then put it back on.
fastboot still seems working fine if I reboot to fastboot mode, but when I try "fastboot erase ...", I get "remote: not allowed". But other commands (fastboot flash...) still ok.
4EXT recovery is also still working.
Please help me to install some ROM at least. A lot of thanks.
Not quite sure, but could it be a faulty eMMC chip? Since you did mention you pulled out the battery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314629
I did have a similar problem before myself.
So can you get into the boot loader? I'm assuming so since u got into fast boot. I would try flashing an update.zip through there, such as a stock from containing recovery.img,system.img...etc.

Thank you for replies.
@microlah: I think my problem is not eMMC because I did not get those errors.
@stumpyz9: Before trying to flash Endymion 3.1, I made a backup of the rooted Sense 3.0 through Rom Manager -> a collection of *.img files.
I have tried to boot into fastboot, and executed these commands:
fastboot erase boot -> Error: remote not allowed
fastboot erase recovery -> Error: remote not allowed
fastboot flash system system.img -> OK
fastboot flash boot boot.img -> OK
fastboot flash userdata data.img -> OK
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img -> OK
but after this, the phone still does not boot normally.
Please tell me if I did something wrong or not. I dont know how to make update.zip from *.img files, and dont know where to get and choose the right stock rom for my phone.

Are you S-OFF or htcdev unlocked ? If you're still S-on you have to manually flash boot.img with fastboot to get Endymion or others custom roms working.

No font flash the backup .imgs flash a whole update zip through the boot loader. Use a stock rom that contains a bunch of .imgs. reflashing the ones u already have won't help

Are you on hboot 2.00.002? If yes, did you flash the boot.img from Endymion via fastboot??

I used htcdev to unlock, it's still S-ON and HBOOT 2.00.002.
I did not flash boot.img of Endymion. Can I do that with "fastboot flash..." ?
Does it matter if "fastboot erase boot" makes error? (as I posted above)
Could you give me instructions step-by-step what I need to do, thank you.
hi all,

Please help us... how correctly flash Endymion ROM via fastboost..

For both of you, here's the procedure. First, flash the ROM normally. Then, enter fastboot mode and flash the boot.img that came in the ZIP of your ROM.

Did you read the OP for cm10.1? It states in the requirements that you must RUU up to the latest (3.18) to run that ROM. In terms of your recovery, just flash it again from fastboot.

I must of completely overseen that. and sir the only option I have on my boot is fast boot, recovery, factory reset, clear storage, simlock, image crc, and power down. I don't know how to even flash things at this point.
and only options I fast boot are bootloader, reboot, reboot boot loader and powerdown
That's all you need to RUU, it's an exe file that you just run while your phone is connected in fastboot mode. You'll need top flash your recovery again, then you can flash a ROM.
Download the RUU
Run the RUU
Download recovery
Flash recovery
Flash ROM
The fastboot command to flash the recovery is:
fastboot flash recovery "recovery.img"
(The exact recovery filename, without the talking marks)
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can enter recovery on your phone, mount usb storage, copy ROM to phone, flash ROM.
