who could help my G2 magic

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.

[Q] HBoot 0.98.0000

Hi, I need Hboot 0.98.0000 as I have 0.98.2000 or something and an update the comes with Arabic support wants it to be 0.98.0002 so it doesn't install. Anyone could provide the stock 0.98.0000?

here is it

im assuming u know how to flash it?

Yeah, go to Clockwork Recovery then flash update.zip, right?

Wait it's not zip, Steps?

Reboot your phone into Bootloader and then choose Fastboot.
Open a cmd window, cd into your android sdk folder and then type:
fastboot flash hboot example.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
*replace example with the name of the img.

Ok thanks alot

Excuse my ignorance but which folder inside the sdk. I haven't used it in a while.

Problem with update over bootloader

Hey guys,
i have a little problem with my Sensation. When i update my phone with the PG58IMG.zip in the bootloader, the update aborts after scanning for an update. What can i do? I am S-ON and HTCdev unlocked with the firmware v3.33.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if the PG58IMG.zip is firmware then ..it wont work ..as firmware update via PG58IMG.zip file format while being SON is not possible
the only thing that you can install via PG58IMG.zip while being SON is only recovery ...and stock formatted rom (system,data and boot in img format)
now if normal parsing is not recognizing it
then you can do it via fastboot
copy the PG zip file to your adb/fastboot folder of pc ..and connect the device to pc from bootloader
open command prompt from the adb/fastboot folder
then 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 (this flashes the stuff inside zip)
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Would this work also when i want to update the radio with such a zip?

[Q] Safe to upgrade to official ICS through PG88IMG.zip?

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

* How To Root, Update Firmware, & Flash A Custom ROM
*
--> Unlock your device
Step1. download and use this program to unlock your bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1604677
Step2. SuperCID your phone so you can S-OFF and so you can also write the T-MOB010 CID if you are on a different carrier and want to run this ROM. You will need to be CID T-MOB010 if you want to run the firmware.zip Follow this to SuperCID http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1#post26516911
Step3. After you have sucessfully unlocked your bootloader and SuperCID you can either S-OFF your phone or Not, it is up to you. I would recommend you achieve S-OFF so you can flash radios, kernels, and boot.img's. Follow this to achieve S-OFF http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2155135
If everything went well you should be able to reboot into bootloader using the All In One Tool and in the top left your bootloader should say Unlocked, S-OFF, CID-1111111
--> Writing T-MOB010 CID
If you did everything right then your all set. Next you will want to run the fastboot command " fastboot oem writecid T-MOB010 " and reboot into bootloader again. Now in the top left it should say CID-T-MOB010. If you have made it this far you are doing great. Now we are going to run the firmware.zip package to ensure everything works without a problem.
--> Flashing the firmware.zip
You must know how to adb fastboot with command promt windows only
Download this :
https://db.tt/XhPpOiVS
Now if you are coming from STOCK OEM LOCKED T-MOBILE PHONE that already has Andorid 4.1.1 Jelly Bean on it then you do not need to do this step. You must be CID T-MOB010 to flash this or S-OFF CID 11111111
1. fastboot oem lock
2. fastboot erase cache
3. fastboot oem rebootRUU
4. fastboot flash zip firmware.zip, and you might get an error
5. fastboot flash zip firmware.zip again and it should pass and install a bunch of files should take about 2 minutes.
6. the phone does NOT reboot on its own so #7
7. fastboot reboot or fastboot reboot-bootloader
--> UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER AGAIN
Now we need to unlock the bootloader again so just do step 1 again but you will already have the Unlock_code.bin from the first time you unlocked you phone so no need to get another one from HTC but if for some funny reason it doesn't work you will need to just resubmit for a new one.
--> CUSTOM RECOVERY
After doing all the above steps you will need to install the custom recover. You will need to use TWRP 2.3.3 to insure no problems. Here is the link to download it http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/vil....3.0-ville.img after you download it go to the DIR where you have the HTC One S All-In-One Toolkit v3.5 extracted. example: C:\Users\yourusername\Downloads\One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v3.5\One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v3.5\Data\Recoveries and in the Recoveries folder rename the downloaded twrp2.3.3.img to TWRPS4.img and replace the one that is in the folder and then proceed to install the recovery.
--> Intermission
Your current phone status
Bootloader = Unlocked
S-OFF
HBOOT = 2.15
CID = T-MOB010
Custom Recovery = TWRP 2.3.3
You are now ready to flash any Jelly beam ROM.
