I followed this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239) in order to update my radio without realizing this was for the 32A board. That means I installed, in this same order:
Engineering SPL 1.33.2010 (using recovery)
SPL HBOOT image 1.76.2007 (in fastboot)
Radio image 6.35.10.18 (in fastboot)
Anon_Ra Recovery image 1.6.2 (in fastboot)
The result is that my phone is now stuck in the green splash/welcome screen. It also can't go into recovery mode and, when in that screen, "adb devices" returns nothing and "adb remount" doesn't work. Luckily, I do have access to fastboot, so I did the following:
fastboot erase radio
fastboot erase hboot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash radio myTouch-radio-2_22_23_02.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.76.2007.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader
This is what my fastboot screen reads now:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.76.2007 (SAPP30000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.23.02
Aug 21 2009, 18:19:05
I still cannot go past the welcome screen, even to get into recovery.
Now, as you can see, I did use 32B-specific files for radio and recovery, but couldn't find 32B-specific SPL or HBOOT files. Is this because these are the same files for both 32A and 32B boards? Even if they weren't, how would I flash the 32B-specific Engineering SPL when I need recovery mode for that?
Any advise is appreciated. I have a nice, white paperweight right now.
Flash any of the 1.33.xxxx SPL's and you'll be fine.
Do it just like you flashed the 1.76.2007 SPL.

I am confused here. According to that thread I linked above, the 1.33.2010 (file name is update-hboot-1.33.2010-signed.zip) is the Engineering SPL and flashed via recovery mode and the 1.76.2007 (file name is hboot-1.76.2007.img) is what they call SPL HBOOT image and is flashed through fastboot. Please help me understand the difference and why you're suggesting I flash 1.33.x (the SPL HBOOT image) the way that thread indicates you should install 1.76.x (the Engineering SPL).
Also, should I do "fastboot erase hboot" before I do "fastboot flash hboot update-hboot-1.33.2010-signed.zip"?
Thanks for helping me with this.
SPL, HBOOT, bootloader are synonyms.
No, you should not erase your current one because if you happen to need to restart the phone you will end up with a brick.
It worked, as you indicated. Thank you!

What SPL Did you flash? and you can't do adb devices in fastboot, only fastboot works in fastboot.
i did not flash that SPL. what i do was, copy the SAPPIMG.nbh file to my microSD, then go to fastboot mode (Vol down + Power) and HBOOT automatically installed the SAPPIMG.nbh file. the process was unsuccessful, but.. i still get the new SPL. thats make me really frustrating right now.
what should i do?

That doesn't answer what SPL you tried to flash, there's a number of Engineering and HardSPL and such, we know which one the OP tried to flash cuz he provided a link. But what one did you try to flash, once you can flash a good SPL then your custom recovery and rom should be able to boot fine.
okay.
so.. what can i do now to get it back?
If he now has 1.33.0006 and before he had 1.76.2007 isn't it obvious that he flashed 1.33.0006?
OP, flash another SAPPIMG.nbh/zip and you'll be fine. I suggest you pick one from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218
i ve tried the first one:
ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010) - MD5 : F9674D19BE5F949D0D9DC99714D210E3
but.. Main version is older! update fail!
any ideas?
if the phone shows the boot splash and at least turns on, its not a "brick"

Hi.
I was looking through the forum but I couldn't find an answer to my problem.
I had:
Code:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT - 1.33.0009 (SAPP10000)
CPLD - 12
RADIO - 3.22.20.17.
I wanted to flash AOSP 2.1 [Android 2.1] from ahmgsk (with the old radio support), so I flashed an Engineering SPL 1.33.2010 (it worked fine, I could see the new number in fastboot). After that I flashed the ROM, but it wasn't working - phone got stuck in the second boot screen (this colorful nexus stuff) - it was going on and on and on. I tried to wipe everything and flash this ROM again, but the same thing happened.
After that I assumed that for some reason is not working, so I decided to flash GyD_3.05.eu.3 - version for new radio (6. something). So I downloaded the Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_6.35.10.18.img and followed instructions from "Magic SPL HBOOT collection" topic by Amon_RA.
I did:
Code:
fastboot flash radio Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_6.35.10.18.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader
It worked with no errors and fastboot showed the new radio number. In the meantime. After that I tried to flash the GyD rom, but I couldn't, because recovery was freezing after few seconds. I realized that GyD rom requires 1.76.2007 spl, so I did:
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.76.2007.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader
But recovery still freezes so I can't flash any rom.
The problem is: I can go to fastboot (it's the only "stable" state of the phone right now), I can go to recovery (both: the one that I flashed on my phone and the one that I boot from my pc), but after few seconds in recovery phone freezes or reboots itself over and over (there's no rom that can be booted, so I guess that's why it reboots over and over). But because it freezes in recovery (ever if I don't do anything, just wait) I can't flash any rom...
I'm using recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img every time.
For now, Fastboot says:
Code:
Sapphire PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT - 1.76.2007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD - 12
RADIO - 6.35.10.18
Can you help me, please? I guess (hope, actually) it's not bricked, because fastboot works and recovery tries to work... maybe it's a recovery problem, or... I don't know.
Again, when you're using radio 6.35, you'll need a Hero recovery!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
Ok, I'm officially a morron.
It works perfect with hero recovery...
Thanks a lot.
Actually you can use this recovery also, if you want http://www.theandroidkitchen.com/fi...download=recovery-RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.5.2.img
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.
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.
Hello
I have been trying to upgrade my phone's ROM for a while now but have always been held back by the firmware on my phone. From what I have read before, I am one of a few people that can not use any FW above 3.12, preventing me from using the 3.30 required ROMs.
Is there any way of getting these ROMs working, such as openSensation?
This is what is listed when I put the phone into recovery:
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT 1.23.0000
RADIO 11.22.3504.07_M
OPENADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131

why cant you flash the newest firmware ?
cant you just use the standard way of flashing the PG58IMG file ?
here get the 3.32 universal firmware and try flashing it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767&highlight=user-friendly+firmware
if it still didnt worked then manual way of flashing
It is assumed that you have adb/fastboot setup
connect the device in fastboot to pc (phone reads fastboot usb)
also copy the downloaded PG58IMG.zip file to the adb folder you have on pc
then open a command window at the adb folder
and type these commands one by one
fastboot erase cache (if failed ignore it )
fastboot oem rebootRUU (black screen with silver HTC)
fastboot flash zip PG58IMG.zip (im interested in this output ..if failed post back the output)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
tada done

Oh I can flash firmwares just fine, I have done before etc.
The issue is getting the phone to work with any firmware over 3.12 without bootlooping. From looking at previous threads a lot of people believe it is due to the HBOOT file in the firmwares being changed.
Hello guys
I unlocked my saga via htcdev and installed cwm. I thought that that would be enough to flash a costum rom but now i only see the spashsceen on bootup. I tried flash the boot.img via fastboot manually but that fails (fastboot failed (status malformed (1 bytes))) too. So my HBOOT is 2.00.002 and I am still S-ON but on top of the Bootloader it is Unlocked.
So what is now up with my phone and what can I do?
Thanks :good:
AW: [Q] Stuck on Splash with S-ON and HBOOT 2.00.002
Was your phone in fastboot mode (bootloader saying fastboot USB at the top) when you tried flashing the boot.img?
