hey,
I just got my new htc magic because my old one was broke somwhow (display didn't work anymore). this morning i wanted to try out the new 1.6 builds like I did it with my old HTC, not nope.
when i try to boot a recovery rom, I got this message:
downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (remote: not allow)
Google told me, that's related to a lot of threads with "locked" or "perfect spl" phones. Am I affected now to? This would suck a lot.
Thanks,
rob
You will not like what I'm going to tell you, but ys, it is a perfect SPL. I had the sane problem and I solved by flashing the recovery ROM with the Unlokr's guide, but in this way I had my G-Sensor not properly working.
DAMNIT!
So, what have you done now?
Are you just not using g-sensor powered apps / games?
(that are ALOT)
rob
I'm searching of a way to fix it, but for now I'm not using it
The G-Sensor thing has NOTHING to do with the 1 Click Root, but with the ROM you flashed.
It's easy to fix: flash a different ROM or add the missing sensor drivers manually, but I think new ROM would be easier.
I also have that spl and flashed it using the 1 click method and worked ok. Its a Vodafone Spain 32B.
Still, I would like to change my spl, is it safe to change it? And change it to what spl?
I tried tons of roms but I never got back my G-Sensor. I think the only way is trying to get the driver from my Nandroid Backup.

Cheers! I'll try it
IS HBOOT-1.33.0010 (SAPP10000) also perfect?
Does that mean I cant install custom ROMs anymore?
Anyway to fix it? I only found a guide to MyTouch 3g and not the 32a that I have...
I bought the mytouch 3g fender the day before yesterday,It's a nice phone,but i need used other language,so i rooting it by this post:
//forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622530
I guarantee that each step is done in accordance with what he said，But unfortunately，i can't enter the system now,it stuck at boot screen.
I tried 3 times，however, the result is the same.
can i go to the t-mobile for help? can they restore it ?
What rom did u flash, the only ond that works is the one cursordroid had in his post
i flashed the cm 4.2 for g2 rom
Flash this. Its the only rom that will currently work for the fender.

thanks,i will try it soon
you didnt read ANY of my instructions in order.
ONLY ROM THAT WORKS IS STOCK FENDER ROM< AND YOU MUST REUPGRADE THE SPL AND RADIO AFTER FLASHING RECOVERY.

ONLY ROM THAT WORKS IS STOCK FENDER ROM< AND YOU MUST REUPGRADE THE SPL AND RADIO AFTER FLASHING RECOVERY.
I cant not SCREAM enough about how pointless rooting this phone is for your first time. I cannot belive the amount of people who decided to run out and get this fender mytouch just to root it.
there are no other roms, radios or spls that work correctly witht his rom.
Once a new rom comes out, you will have to repeat the process.
Just stop people.
If you cant get into fastboot or recovery.. or adb doesnt see it at all underl logcat, then its bricked and you didnt follow instructions at all.
Hi, So I am new to this forum and have been reading all of the post and looking around google like crazy. Still can't find the source to my problemo.
I successfully downgraded my mytouch to cupcake, no problemo there.
Now I have been trying to put a rom from Cyanogen on the phone. I successfully put a 1.6 donut on my phone but kept getting a google.apps error and had some serious FC problems.
So, I unrooted, re rooted, and partioned my sd card.
Since then I have not gotten a cyanogenmod to work for me at all.
So, today, I have been trying to use cyanogen recently updated mod (4.2.14.1) no success mytouch seems to reject it.
looked around and saw that I needed to add HTC's DRC83base.
Tried that before adding the rom, got a error during installation saying the file was corrupt.
Now, I am just going to root it back down to cupcake and try again.
anyone got any ideas as to what I can do once I get it down to cupcake.
Also, I am running a 32B, if that matters.
and to think this all started cause I wanted a metamorph theme on my phone, ha.
this is not a "brick" issue, you're just making rookie mistakes in the flashing process.
i'm happy to help if i can but you'll need to provide so more info. can you fastboot (back+power) and tell us your details. can you also tell us what recovery you're using and most importantly can you ensure the integrity of the files you're trying to use by checking the md5 sums.
dp!!!!!!!!!!
ha, rookie mistakes...indeed.
details from fastboot:
sapphire pvt 32b ship s-on g
hboot-1.33.0006 (sapp30000)
cpld-10
radio-2.22.19.261
may 27,2009,19:06:41
i was using cyanogen's recovery image 1.4.img (but i am re-downgrading to cupcake and the recovery image will be the recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img)
also, since i am downgrading to 1.5 will I have to check the integrity of the files? (i'll still do it, just checking to see if it's neccessary)
is there a more up to date 32B recovery than that? get 1.5.3.G from here instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492&highlight=recovery
apply that and we'll go from there...
edit: sorry, yeah you don't need to check everything (though i'd be checking stuff like recoveries...) but it does help to rule out file integrity as the cause for your problems...
ok, so I am downloading the recovery image from the link you gave me (thanks btw) and have begun flashing it as i type.
so far, so good.
Hey, so I wanted to let you know that I totally fixed my phone all cause of you!!!
Thank you so much!
I successfully re-flashed, re-rooted, amd re installed a donut version of dwang (i just gave up on using cyanogen's roms) and I have a fully rooted not bricked phone!
So i think i know what i did wrong, but is there anyway to fix it? I have a 32b which i rooted with the "recovery-RA-sapphirev1.5.2H", then i tried to update the radio with the "update-radio-32A-6.35.08.29-signed" (i didnt read the "32A"). Then i tried to reboot the phone and it got stuck on the "Mytouch 3g" green start up screen, i cant get to the recovery image by holding home+end.
My understanding (please correct me if im wrong) to get the new Nexus ROM was that i had to;
1) Go the the 1.5.2 recovery image & wipe
2) Partition the card (and convert Ext2 to Ext3 or Ext4 depending on the ROM), reboot
3) Flash the new Radio, then reboot
4) Wipe, Flash the new SPL, then reboot
5) Wipe, flash the new ROM, and reboot
Im sure what i did was noobish...
Previously i had been using the 1.3.2 immage and had loaded Hero ROM's and tweeked Cupcake ROM's just fine, it was only when i had to update the radio and SPL was it that i found difficulty, mostly because i found too many and didnt know which one to use.
PLEASE HELP!!!
I'm willing to try anything. I hope i can get this fixed by this afternoon =,(
My first guess is that you are f**ked!
Only 2 "Nexus" roms I know that require new radio are for the 32A. And only new radio I know is for the 32A Magic!
Don't know where you got the instructions to upgrade your radio, but the ones I read stated that you have to flash radio, hboot, recovery in this sequence, and THEN reboot. Also, your recovery should be for 32B, dunno how you missed that one.
Try this: find your old radio image, your old hboot and recovery, boot in fastboot mode (back+power) and type in the following commands from the Android SDK tool directory:
Code:
fastboot flash radio your_radio.img <enter>
fastboot flash hboot your_hboot.img <enter>
fastboot flash recovery your_recovery.img <enter>
fastboot erase system -w <enter>
fastboot reboot-bootloader <enter>
You should now have rebooted back in fastboot mode. If that worked, try to reboot into recovery and see that works.
Once in recovery you can restore or flash another 32B rom.
See here for Engineering hboot images.
Download recovery for 32B
I found the link on theunlockr.com
developers.com/showthread.php?t=598973
And found instructions on youtube "ECLAIR 2.1 ROM REVIEW AND TUTORIAL !!!" and tweaked it slightly because i found a recovery image for my sapphire which didn't support either the spl or the radio, i forget... I've been up since 3am on Wednesday because of work and school, and now its 9am Thursday.
I was reading that 32b ROMs were working for the 32a, so i thought i might try a 32a since none of the links on Amon_RA's page developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019 were working for me.
I cant get to the fast boot menu... so that way doesnt work

I think you are rather screwed. I believe the phone boots up the radio image before the bootloader and therefore you can't even get to flash a new recovery or radio image as the boot process is halted because of the defective radio image.
The only salvation I know if is a JTAG connection. This involves open up and soldering stuff to the mainboard of your phone. Since you're asking you probably not familiar with it I wouldn't recommend it to you.
you have a mytouch 3g right? if so, you flashed the wrong radio image. you flashed the ra(blahblahblah)H! not the ra(blah)G! "H" IS FOR HTC BRANDED "G" IS FOR GOOGLE BRANDED (THE MT3G). so that is your first issue. try to boot into fastboot and flash the RIGHT RECOVERY IMAGE.
wow as soon as I looked at this thread, you made so many mistakes on the first sentence lol. I hope you learn to read and not rush things next time ^^ Recovery H = 32A, Radio says 32A, and you have a 32B and now you can't get into fastboot? I'm 99.9999% sure it's bricked, but correct me if I'm wrong! 32B roms work for 32A when you port them over. Seems like you did almost no research at all.
You're understanding of what to do is right, but you didnt pick ANY of the right files

I agree with KAwAtA. You pretty much did the right steps (kinda) but you got the wrong files and now you got a nice brick. You should do research and know how to tell if your phone is 32A or 32B, why you should never flash the wrong radio/spl for your type of phone, and what ROMs are compatible with your hardware and why you should never flash the ROMs for another piece of hardware.
Well look on the bright side, since you bricked your magic, instead of trying out the "Nexus" ROMs, you can now buy a Nexus One for real but do not ROOt it because you might flash a 32B radio on it and make that a fancy brick.
damn sorry bro. does sound like everything that could have gone wrong went wrong for you. i also went to theunlockr to root my phone and add roms to it but i read those instructions like 3 times and watched the videos a few times when i first did it. oh well, you'll learn from this at any rate.

you can't get into recovery, that's fine, but can you boot into hboot and fastboot mode? if so, your phone will be fine, just have to fastboot flash the right junk on

Well, I BRICKED BRICKED BRICKED my other mytouch. Im talking where the computer wouldn't recognize it, wouldn't charge, turn on, splash screen, NOTHING. Wasn't the battery. If you can get to the screen (where you hold down volume and power) you can probably recover it. DON'T know if this would work but it may be worth a try read this link to get it un-rooted and then retry. http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/

I tried the "G" and it didn't work, so i tried the "H" and it worked. Fastboot didn't work...
Thanks everyone for you input... this is my reply to everyone since i cant reply to one/ a few at a time.
1) I knew how to root my phone, and did it multiple times. I also unrooted it a few times as well (just to get a fresh start and make sure i knew how to). I also loaded many different ROM's onto it including Hero and tweaked cupcake ROM's
2) Fast boot did not work, and the computer would not recognize the phone at any point.
3) The unlockr did a good job with instructions on how to root and unroot then loading the hero and cupcake rom's onto it but it had no explanation for loading the nexus rom onto it, although it did feature a link on where to get it. therefore i tried to piece together ways to update the radio and spl (this is where it all went to hell). i figured out that that is what i needed to do to run the nexus rom.
ok, ok now i know, wait for a full set of instructions for my specific phone to try to put the newest and coolest rom onto my phone... :/
4) i got it all taken care of, got "new" phone for free! so glad it worked out.
ok, so i have an HTC magic from rogers, (rogers is the first problem)
i cant remember exactly what happened, but i was doing something to my phone, which resulted in it not booting. but the recovery was fine, and fastboot/hboot was also fine.
i am pretty sure something happened with my radio and spl, so since i was able to update both i did.
now i used the whole goldcard metod with the european RUU which installed cyanogen (5.0.8 at the time)
anyways, i am having problems with recovery and installing roms now. i have RA hero 1.6.2 recovery (shameful) because it is the only one that seems to work.
i used to have clockwork but now when i install clockwork recovery it freezes or resets when booted into recovery.
i am using "Smoki's" 2.1 rom (f**king sucks...it only allows use of 30mb of memory.....tarded) (it like really sucks...its slow and takes forever for anything)
this is my phone.
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT -1.33.2010 (SAPP50000)
CPLD - 12
RADIO - 6.35.16.19
why cant i install clockwork recovery? (even with rom manager from market - or using fastboot)
why wont cyanogen 6.1 install? (6.0 wont install either)
can anyone help me...tell me what is wrong here?
p.s. my htc dream is running cyanogen 6.1 (thats a kick in the tits)
p.p.s. i am not a hacker, i am a tester, and if someone has figured out how to hack it, i can trouble shoot until it works...i have hacked every single device i and my friends have, my wii, my playstation 2, and i am looking into hacking my old xbox 360 arcade.
i also have a triple boot computer with windows 7 pro 64. mac os x 10.6.2. and ubuntu 10.10 LL. so operating systems are not an issue with whatever you guys tell me to do.
