I tried to root it by following the 32A guide from http://theunlockr.com/2009/07/08/how-to-root-your-htc-magic/ - Everything seemed to go alright, but now I can not get passed the "HTC Magic" loading screen.. any ideas? :s

Wish I had seen this first. I did the exact same thing. I also need help……

Seems like it wont save the image at all, after reboot the memory seems wiped with nothing to load.

did you wipe before flashing new rom?
Easy instructions is to:
1. fastboot into Amon_RAs 1.2.0 recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img
2. Nandroid backup (although i suspect it might be a bit late for that now for you)
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Apply sd card: choose zip
5. select the rom you want to load onto your phone
6. reboot once finished and enjoy root.

I didn't wipe the first time (it didnt say in the guide that I had to), but all the other times I dod wipe the memory. I followed your instructions now, booted from Amon_RAs 1.2.0 recovery, wiped, installed, still no go.. any ideas?

Try to change your SPL.

Go for the "Engineering" one..

Double check if you are installing the correct ROM for your phone. A ROM for 32A in your case. I got the same problem and it came out that I was installing a ROM for 32B while my phone is 32A.

GOOD NEWS!
Got it sorted out!
Some good news for you too, mererid!
1. 1. fastboot into Amon_RAs 1.2.0 recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492 (as stated above from MontAlbert)
2. type in CMD:
adb shell
mount /sdcard
exit
3. Push up your ROM of choise (I used Amon_RAs Hybrid Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538645 ) using command: adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip
4. Wipe memory/reset factory defaults
5. flash update.zip
6. Boot and enjoy!
edit: It was command number 2 (mounting before pushing) that screwed with me...

Step #2 is not needed - you just need to be patient
The recovery rom presents the boot menu before a lot of the system has finished loading. In particular the sdcard isn't mounted at that point.
If you get errors trying to mount mbmblk then wait 10 seconds and try it again.

I've had the same problem.
The experts said that my device need another kernel. I've tried several ROMs but with flashing dalroid image I was successful.
I have instructions how to patch any ROM with my kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4038589&postcount=8. But I haven't tried it yet.

HTC Magic keeps rebooting, unlike other posts, PLEASE HELP, thanks in advance! :):)

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

update
It's only going into fastboot mode when plugged in now.

Same thing happens for flashing hboot and recovery as well...

i had a card adapter sou will need on let me know if it helped you out....also i formatted my sdcard before i started because phone had problems mounting card when in recovery

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530527
download the update.zip
fastboot boot recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2.img
(make sure you use sapphire unless you have the hero radio and spl installed otherwise the hero recovery is needed if you have the cursorsense radio which effectivly makes the magic a hero)
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!

update
Hey all my problem was also with the spl as well for some reason. I also loaded the newest rogers update instead which the combination did the trick...

Help :( amons_ra 1.7.0

Hi i have just tried to flash amons new 1.7.0 recovery image from terminal amd got, read error at 0×0000000 out of memory. so then i exited terminal then tried to reboot into recovery with no success it just hanged on the g1 logo? but im able to reboot my phone normally? please can anybody help me
Sent from my HTC Dream using Tapatalk

if you can reboot your phone normally try doing it in the terminal emulator.
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img
Make sure you are root when you run this command.
But don't do this if your running Cyanogen 5.0.7. If your running Cyanogen you'll have to do the fasboot method.
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img to a location where fastboot can find it.
Boot your G1 into fastboot mode (boot while holding BACK)
Connect your G1 via usb to your pc/mac/...
fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your device)
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img
This is the same code for all versions on RA. Just change RA-dream-v1.7.0.img, to whatever image file you have for your specific phone.

thanks for the quick reply ill try it when i get home thanks again!

I have recently changed the SPL to version 1.33.2010 as well as the RECOVERY to RA-sapphire.v1.7.0 in my Magic following the procedure above but, although the flash command seems to finish properly and I can reboot into the new recovery just after the update, when I boot completely the phone (load Android) and reboot into recovery again, something changes the recovery version back to the original one (Android 2e), while the SPL is correct.
Do you have any idea of what may be happening?
This is the original config I had:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.2004 (SAPP10000)

It seems that your problem is complicated. Stock software and no recovery access makes it difficult to give an appropriate advice. Maybe something wrong was flashed on this phone or the worst case - "fried" eMMC chip. You can try to search across the forum for any similar or try various solutions but I cannot advice how to proceed. Sorry

There are at least 10 other threads from the past 2 weeks with exactly the same problem. Do some reading, the solution is simple...

Please just tell me what to do or give me the thread cause I have searched and can't find precisely what will help. Just post something please I beg you.

Hint - flash hboot 0.98.2000
After use the latest RUU 2.10.401.8

Thanks for the quick reply. I have already tried flashing hboot_0.98.0000_361a7ba6_0310 onto it using android flasher in "fastboot usb plug" but it reboots and gets stuck at the htc logo again until i remove the battery.
Also here is what androidflasher shows me :
sending "hboot" (1024kb)...
OKAY [0.191s]
writing "hboot"...
(bootloader) image update is bypassed!
OKAY [0.030s]

rebooting into bootloader...

**update**
was able to flash 4ext recovery using android flasher onto my device and tried updating with the ruu again. It still gets stuck at the htc logo white background (so i painfully remove battery again) but when i try running the ruu again from my pc it shows that i have the same version as the ruu.
Still stuck at white screen. Help!!!

see the version of the bootloader
if it is still 6.98.xxxx this is you problem. Flash 0.98.2000 with PG88IMG.zip from the SDcard or try 2.00.2002 - you can find this in the forums also

linkin8k
I have the same problem and I have not found the solution up here.

can anybody tell me can i solve this by JAG?i can do jtag my self

thanks for the replies sorry i couldn't post yesterday was trying to be in a festive mood.
**my progress**
I have tried all i can to update the bootloader, from putting the pg88img file in through root of sd to update through 4ext recovery to tryin to use android flasher to put the 0.98.2000 it won't just update.
please what else can i do?? is there a hboot installer for windows for me to try??
please help AmidaBuddha u have done a lot but i still need a little help. thanks

As much as i know would be the last possible solution to replace the bootloader with dd command inside adb shell or try to flash it with fastboot (to make this the htc drivers [if you are using windows] and the android sdk with the given android plattform-tools must be installed, if some parts are not present look at the index thread)
Walkthrough:
fastboot:
reboot your device to bootloader and put it in fastboot mode
open commanline at your pc
attach device to pc
cd to the directory where the hboot.img is ( extract it from the pg88img.zip file)
Code:
fastboot devices
(your device should show up as some letters and digits at the right of it should stand recovery, also the adb daemon is started if it wasn't running before)
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
this replaces your current hboot with the hboot.img file, don't interrupt the process or pull the usb cable, this can brick your device, i'm not responsible if something goes wrong.
dd:
put the needed .img file of the bootloader at the root of your sd (extract it from the pg88img.zip file) and rename it to hboot.img
reboot to recovery
Open commandline at your pc
attach device to pc
Code:
adb devices
(your device should show up as some letters and digits at the right of it should stand recovery, also the adb daemon is started if it wasn't running before)
adb shell
(this opens the adb command shell, from where you can execute shell commands right at your device)
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img
(this backups your current bootloader partition to the backup.img file)
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
(this replaces your bootloader partition with the boot.img)
exit
(exits adb shell)
adb reboot bootloader
(reboots your device to bootloader)
this backups your current bootloader to /sdcard/backup.img and replaces it with the boot.img, but beware this is hard stuff and be carefull, don't stop the execution of the any dd command and never pull the usb-cable while it writes your bootloader, this definitly can brick your device, i'm not responsible if something goes wrong, good luck.

Tectas thanks, see what i get using fastboot:
on command line:
c:\users>fastboot devices
SH14HTJ05*** fastboot
c:users> cd c:\temp
c:\temp>fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
sending `hboot` <1024 kb>... OKAY
writing `hboot`... INFOimage update is bypassed!
OKAY
on phone under bootloader menu:
Can not roll back hboot version
........
will try dd option now.
