[Q] help - Botched rom upgrade - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hey all,
kinda new here and hope you guys can help me out.
So i just got this brand new out-of-the-box vodafone htc magic (32a)
It came with 1.5 and of course i decided i had to mess with it.
I tried installing a different rom from the original one, before that i installed the latest from RA recovery (1.70) i belive.
Problem is that atm every rom that i try to install seems to:
a: cant boot (stuck on the vodafone logo for over 20 mins)
b: says cant install (gives out some error mid instalation)
and of course i cant go back into my original factory software.
some info on the magic:
Radio - 3.22
Shapphire 32a
cpld - 12
Help please?

nvm ended up figuring out for myself (best way) had to upgrade everything for roms to work....idiot me
oh and sorry for posting in the wrong section.
Thanks for your time

questions about the perfected SPL and custom roms

so i have a mytouch 3g with the perfected SPL (i believe ... says HBOOT-1.33.0006 when I check the version with back+power) and I've been using AmonRa's 1.6.2 rom for quite some time now.
I have been looking to upgrade to the Eclair roms floating around the forums which states that it requires a newer SPL so I downloaded the Engineering SPL 1.33.2010 along with the new rom
My question is (after some research) can i just boot into recovery mode and flash the new SPL that way? or is the only way the goldcard way?
You can just flash from the recovery images, but make sure the spl is completed and then he upgrade let me know how it goes
thanks, i'll give it a go and hope it doesn't brick
OK so i got the ENG SPL to install with no problems, but I can't get the rom to install
i'm trying to use Eugene's v2.3 rom found here http://alldroid.org/viewtopic.php?f=130&t=515
it flashes, says install complete, but upon reboot, it loads the mytouch splash page, then about a minute or 2 later, it loads this strange screen with colors that form an X in the middle of the screen and keeps doing that ... i've never seen that before so I flashed back to the 1.6.2 ion rom i used prior
anyone have any ideas?
thats the boot screen...the first time i got it I had to wait 45min for it to finish loading the rom....restarts (after first boot) are quicker....just be patient...I suggest flashing + rebooting then going to sleep...wake up in the morn...if its still going then u have a prob.
This is the screen ur getting right?

yeah, tahts the screen...scared the crap out of me...doesn't make any sense to use an "X" as the boot screen as "X"s are a negative symbol ... i did wait it out, however, took about 5 minutes, but it worked!
I am now running on the 1.33.2010 ENG SPL with eugene's 2.1 rom and it is quite flawless (minus the fact that there's no camera). Hope the camera fix comes out soon!

cant update to cupcake after DREAIMG, help

first and foremost am sorry for posting this here, am giving away my phone so thought i would unroot it and leave it with factory firware. i flashed the dreaimg just fine but when i do the update.zip and the phone reboots twice, it stays on the g1 screen. i tried differed dreaimg and updates like - signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca.zip and the one found in theunlokr, but it still stays on the g1 screen. If i dont flash the update i can boot into the rc29 firware just fine, thanks in advance.
I was using r radio 2_22_23_02, spl 1.33.2005, superE 1.0.3
after DREAIMG.nbh radio: 1.22.12.19, spl: 0.95.0000
after update.zip radio: 2.22.19.26I spl: 0.95.0000
still trying to figure this out...
RC29 - RC33 - ok
RC33 - CupCake - Freeze @ G1 screen....
any help is apreciated.
I left my phone alone for a few hours with RC33 to get the 1.5 update OTA, got it but phone froze @ g1 screen again... any info on this? anything else i can do? thanks.

Look down in the comments section about losing root. Just browsing through the forums and came across you post...not sure if this is the exact solution you need given your situation but I hope it helps.
well what i was trying to do is to unroot the phone, but after so many tests the phone will always stop at the G1 screen. I managed to get root back from RC29 and get back to superE. But not sure whats wrong with my phone, i noticed that some of the roms i flash will also stop at the G1 screen..... any idea whats the problem?
so far i've only tested 2 froyo roms and 3 donut.
superfly 1.3 - stop at boot
biffmod v6 - working
super D 1.9.3wesgarner - stop at g1 screen
super D 1.11 - working
superfast 1.3.3 - stop at g1 screen
i started noticing some roms will work and some would at g1 screen even before i tried to unroot my phone. I flashed succesfuly all donut roms mentioned before this problem started.
my phone: T-Mobile G1
radio : 2.22.23.02
spl : 1.33.2005
recovery : amon-ra- 1.7.0
my wipe method is, in recovery wipe all 5 > repair ext > fastboot erase system -w
not sure if am doing something wrong or why my phone not loading certain roms, please help.

[Resolved] Getting stuck on go go go

Hi,
Alright, im totally new to this; I'm trying to run Android on my HD2...
So, All guides I found kind of talked about the same things:
1, Flash phone with HSPL3
2. Flash phone with Radio 2.15.50.40
3. Flash magldr v.1.13
4. Download a NAND ROM -- I was first trying with Cope's Cyanogen Rom, kept getting stuck on GO GO GO! (in magldr) after a while I actually got it to work, but couldn't get data to work, the first time I restarted the phone it got stuck again....
Then I flashed official tmobile wm, got rid of magldr, and started all over, but this time I tried flashing MDJ's Cyanogen Rom, however after resolving several previous issues i got stuck on GO GO GO! again...
also, I have tried with both magldr v 1.11 and 1.13
-------------------
Is there something wrong with the previous steps I took? Any suggestions?
There is another thing that was always wrong with my phone which might be causing this problem; ever since I got it it would sometimes get stuck on the first purple "stay together" screen and not want to move... Even after I restart the screen would persist, and the only solution was to let it 'chill' for a while before attempting to turn on again...[It got stuck even when I flashed the wm to get rid of mangldr]
So any suggestions on how could I get Android running ???
Thanks
Never mind....
It seems to have fixed itself!!! THIS IS GREAT!!! Skyfire, one bus away!!!!
Thanks to all for this awsome forum and for the great roms!!!!

Desire stuck on boot screen with Oxygen ROM - please help :S

Hi All
Yep, there are a lot of posts about Desire's stuck on boot screens I know - and I've read them all but nothing seems to fins a solution to my problem sadly.
I'm having an issue running Oxygen 2.0.3 signed release on my HTC Desire, spec as follows:
Radio 5.14.05.17
HBoot 0.93
PVT4
S-ON
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7
I did all the data, boot, and system wipes/formats recommended before installing new ROMs, and installed the zip from my SD card through ClockworkMod.
All is well on first boot - had it running happily for a couple of days. Then I turned the phone off and on again and it only boots as far as the white screen with the green HTC text, and progresses no further. When I go back to my Nandroid backup of the rooted stock ROM things appear to function as they should, if that makes any difference to a diagnosis.
I've tried reinstalling this ROM twice with the exact same result.
Can anyone help? I've had crashes with pretty much every ROM I've tried so far and, apart from this one considerable problem, Oxygen had been looking the most promising. I'm starting to wish I hadn't rooted at all - can't get a stable OS running at all since doing it, and getting really fed up
Thanks very much for any help.
Mark
I know this is an old treath, but I have exactly the same problem. Does someone knows what could be done to resolve this issue? I did the same thing as the topic starter.
Some info about my phone:
RAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
- Oxygen version 2.3.2
- HTC Desire GSM
- HBOOT version 0.93.0001
- RADIO version 5.11.05.27
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Stuck on Custom ....[ RESOLVED ]

Hi everyone.
I am aware that this problem might have been already solved, but i kept searching those three days about a similar thread or solution on the forum but there was none.
I own a vodafone Htc one S bought days earlier, i did the update from the update menu in the controle panel, but i wanted to see what custom roms were like, so i went throught unlocking bootloader, installing CWM and then flashed some roms posted on the forum, but none of them had the otptions the stock were having (the sound options when ringin and some other stuffs the stock one had), so i decided to take a look a the TrickDroid rom, wich seemed to be perfect for me, assuming it had all the stock options+tweaks to add or remove them, and more ram optimised thank the stock one , so i went trought the process, flashed the boot.img that came with, but got stuck on the htc screen with no other possibility than to flash another Rom, then i came up knowing that to be able to use the TrickDroid rom, i had to be already on the official one, so this is were my problem starts :
I have done all the steps to flash stock rom, assuming relocking bootloader, flashing original recovery and boot, then downloaded the RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.5_Radio_1.06es.50.02.31_10.09a.50.04L_release_275655_signed.7z Rom, when the installing starts, it keeps giving me the 131 error, client ID.
I looked everywhere for a similar thread or solution, but nothing that could help me.
I checked my boot loader and its giving :
****TAMPERED****
****RELOCKED****
VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.14.0002
RADIO-1.08es.50.02.21
OpenDSP-v29.1.0.45.0622
eMMC-boot
Jun 11 2012,14:36:28
So figured out that i need an RUU that comes with radio 1.08es, but the problem is i checked those 3 days for it, but werent able to find any.
I am stuck with a paranoid rom wich is much less good (for me) than the stock one (but indeed lighter with no operator stuff, but i learned how to get rid of the stock operator apps).
I just wanna go back to the official rom, with sense, or, at least, a custom rom wich have the same capabilities of the stock one, without bugging.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:Resolved .
