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.

I got the Google ION which was given out at the Google Conference in SF. I flashed the hero rom recently, but it's a bit slow for my taste...so I want to go back to my stock rom that I had before...but I didn't backup before so I can't restore...so is there anyone who can point me to the right direction to getting the rom back?
I tried Haykuro's Google ION rom, but the in call audio was messed up, and I tried to flash the stock rom that HTC provided (http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/google-io-device.html) but I get an error after it verifies the update package.
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance, I truly appreciate it.
here u go
had the same problem u changed the hboot when flashing... take this download name it update flash it. than reapply the google rom provided by htc http://rapidshare.com/files/247838949/update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2004-signed.zip
Go to HTC (global site) and download the image. It's the zip file.
unzip the file and put the image files in the tools folder of SDK
1. enter fastboot mode by pressing back+power
2. fastboot erase system -w
3. fastboot erase boot
4. fastboot flash system system.img
5. fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
6. fastboot flash boot boot.img
7. fastboot reboot
I find that the Magic Black ROM has the best speeds for the hero rom but it still is not perfect. You have to tweak it get it right.

Can you explain whats the difference between this Hboot and the one that comes originally with the phone? (Hboot-1.33.3004)
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.
D - Installing an engineering SPL
This will install the engineering SPL and prepare the phone for a custom rom.
hold down the home key and boot into recovery
Choose Flash zip from sdcard
Choose 1_33_2005_spl.zip (this will stage the flash of the engineering SPL)
reboot as prompted at the bottom of the screen
The recovery will load up again do not be alarmed
run the adb command adb shell reboot bootloader (Note it may be a moment after the recovery screen appears before you can execute the command)
Verify the following:
HBOOT: 1.33.2005
RADIO: 3.22.26.17
run the following two fastboot commands (this will prevent issues flashing your rom)
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
powerdown
fastboot oem powerdown
Proceed to flash an EBI1 rom

So basically i have the DangerSPL and i want to isntall cyanogen mod 5+ on my Rogers G1
i get stuck at the fastboot part, no matter how i do it, it does not let me "fastboot erase system -w" it says "erasing system....... FAILED <remote: now allow>"
i already have the mod on the SD card and everything to go with it, but i stall at this step. any suggestions?
i am using the tutorials from wiki.cyanogenmod for POST 911 rogers dream and cyanogen 5+
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
I think you didn't install the SPL correctly, from what i've read from other people with this problem.
Try re-installing the SPL/RADIO.
the SPL was installed correctly, according to the version number
kept trying over and over eventually it let me erase system -w
thank you
Hi folks,
My DS is currently running ViperSaga, and it's affected by a camera bug which is supposedly fixed by swapping my radio version (10.08.04_M) to the one from the ICU RUU. Since I'm S-ON (though htcdev-unlocked -- of course, I will do 'fastboot oem lock' before proceeding any further ) and would prefer to stay that way, I'll simply need to flash the entire ICS RUU in order to upgrade my radio. However, my USB connection is not 100%, and it has a tendency to drop out after the phone has been connected for a random number of minutes (the phone then goes into charge-only mode and is no longer seen by adb). Obviously, it would be bad if this happened while running the official RUU.
My first thought was to flash the RUU manually (fastboot erase cache, fastboot oem rebootRUU, fastboot flash zip rom.zip), and if the USB were to cut out, to simply reconnect and re-issue the fastboot flash zip rom.zip command. However, I did some Googling and found that there was another way, namely to put the rom.zip onto a mSD card renamed to PG88IMG.zip (the same way you S-OFF folks flash your radios ) and to let hboot do the upgrade all on its own.
My question is this: when upgrading hboot (as I will, from 2.00.0002 to 2.02.0002), you are often asked to flash the image twice if you do it via fastboot oem rebootRUU. (hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately). Does the PG88IMG.zip flasher in hboot understand this and does it automatically flash itself a second time if needed?. I.e.: is it safe to upgrade hboot through PG88IMG.zip?
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to make sure I'm as clear as possible as this is my main phone and I'd rather not brick it (though being able to take 5MP pictures on ViperSaga would be nice )
Thank you for your help!
I've decided to follow the following procedure:
1) reboot into Linux (USB seems more stable there)
2)
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
(repeat last command because the flasher asked me to, as expected)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
3) Allow the system to boot, enable USB debugging, adb reboot-bootloader
4) re-unlock bootloader
5) flash recovery, boot.img, and ViperSaga
All is well
Ok i can enter to the bootloader, and also to the recovery, but! when i flash a rom it cant boot on ! i got stucked after the HTC Logo. Also tried to to flash PD98IMG from hboot without succes and the same thing with RUU, in HBOOT the RUU software says that my battery is 30% or less and i have to chargue it, but is full! so have to enter in fastboot mode and it pass that step then it chargue the ruu but then it send an error that the image restore from ruu cant be completed.
Btw: S-on AND unlocked bootloader

extract the boot.img file from the zip (do not extract the zip) to your PC desktop, then boot the device in fastboot usb and in a CMD session in the PC (located in the desktop folder) type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then when you get the OKAY, type:
Code:
fastboot reboot
