Hello XDA-developers,
A few days ago I've received a HTC Magic from a friend of mine.
He tried to flash it to a different software version, but he got stuck.
Now I am stuck with this phone.
I've tried probably all the tutorials on this forum and all the others, but now I'm really desperate.
So please help me.
Here is the situation:
Type of Phone: HTC Magic
Hboot: 1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
Radio: 2.22.19.261
The phone cannot access its SD-card in recovery mode(2e).
It gives me the following error:
"E:Can't mount /dev/blcok/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)"
It does not boot anymore to the system(it does boot but gets tuck at the lockscreen, where it has no option to unlock).
It's not accessible with adb.
It's accessible with fastboot.
Tried to enable SD with flashboot:
"fastboot oem enableqxdm 0"
But getting:
"...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.007s]
finished. total time: 0.007s"
Tried to flash bootloader:
"fastboot boot recovery.img"
But getting:
"downloading 'boot.img'...
FAILED (remote: not allow)
finished. total time: 0.000s"
Tried to copy sappimg.zip to SD-card, but since it's probably not accessible,
it cannot find it in HBOOT-mode so also doesn't flash it.
It's a Dutch Vodafone Branded HTC Magic.
I've been working on this phone for the last 48 hours, I know it's not worthed, but it's the principle
I know the problem is in SPL version, but all the tutorials mention that you update this throught the SD-card, which I cannot access.
Anyone there to help me with this problem?
I can't advise on your solution, but i wouldn't say its bricked if you have fastboot access.
If you post in the general section you'll probably get more help.

Thanks for the suggestion,
But my Vodaphone branded HTC Magic still has S-ON AND Standard SPL.
Both things are changeable, but then I thirst have to flash it in some kind of way.
I found out that i am able to read SD with SAPPIMG.zip.
But for now I have not found a zip file that is accepted by this phone.
Can anybody help me in this?
A custom rom is not an option until the recovery mode has been changed to CWM, for now it is still recovery 2e, and cannot read my SD-card.
Thank you!

a friend of mine sent me an hboot and radio image to update on my g1. he's got a dev phone, and he was able to use fastboot to flash these images...i've got a t-mobile g1 with JFv1.41 and the Engineering SPL, but fastboot will not flash these images on my phone...i've also tried this with HardSPL - no dice. also, i've made sure to install the USB drivers, and my g1 is being recognized by my pc in fastboot mode...here are the errors i get when i run fastboot:

I've done quite a bit of searching but nothing seems to come up regarding the "partition does not exist" error. is there a way for me to resolve this, or is it simply that i have a t-mobile g1 and not a dev phone?
thanks

I am having the same problem, i am still getting the same error without the -p dream.
I'm getting this for fastboot flash hboot as well
a few weeks ago I used fastboot to flash a radio image and it worked just fine.
Bump. I'm having this issue as well and can't find any hints about how to fix it.
I'm having the same problem with adp1

did anyone ever figure out what the problem here was?
If so, they haven't shared...
same prob
I had this same problem several months ago. I was able to solve it myself using the search function. But in case anyone is interested it has to do with a perfected spl. You have to flash at least an engineering spl with S=Off in order to fastboot flash.

That is because the 0.95.x000 SPL's do not have the hboot partition mapped.
You need to do one of two things;
1) first recovery-update to 1.33.2003 (note the "3". This is NOT a "5".) -- the "2003" spl has the hboot partition mapped.
2) ERASE your recovery partition (and test that it is erased by trying to boot into recovery -- it should boot into FASTBOOT), and then recovery-update to whatever SPL you prefer. I know, this sounds impossible -- just how do you boot recovery if your recovery is empty? By "fastboot boot recovery.img".
Either of these approaches should be fine.

What do you think?
It sounds logical enough, but I thought HardSPL should be able to flash the radio without any issues?
That's what I was following in the Cyanogen wiki:
(HardSPL/Engineering Spl Users) Radio installations can be had by fastboot flash radio radio.img after extracting radio.img from the .zip

I'm rooted and already on CM 4 with HardSPL installed. I remember using fastboot to flash something a while back but it's been a long time since I've played with modding my G1.
EDIT: I went ahead and just used recovery to install the radio. Thanks anyways!
I have downlaoded the fastboot binary for my mac from here:
http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
because It never turned up in my android sdk

You can find a compatible dreaimg.nbh, put it on sdcard, and flash that through bootloader, but other than that, you can't do anything with a bricked phone, aside from jtag.
Well as the tital states, My (NEW) HTC sensation will not boot up at all.
I have read heaps of threads and tired lots of different things to get it going again but nothing seems to work? (im still a bit of a noob with all this)
Il let you know what I have done..
I have downloaded the origional ROM for my phone (for my provider) and placed onto a Memory card and tried to load the file..
I get to the stage where its
SD CHECKING...
LOADING...[PG58DIAG.ZIP]
No Image!
LOADING...[PGDIAG.ZIP]
No Image!
LOADING..[PG58IMG.ZIP]
Once completed it then goes
CHECKING PG58IMG.ZIP
once its done it goes back to the 'hboot' screen.
Pressing anything on that screen results back to the reboot loop.
Also, Using command prompt I have tried connecting to it via USB following other tuts and I get when typing "fastboot oem get_identifier_token"
it gives me the follwoing error..
<bootloader> [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.016s]
finished. total time: 0.016s
I did the above following the HTC site to unlock the bootloader hoping that I can install another ROM to get it running up.
I dont know exactly what S-ON is but I THINK it may have something to do with none of my ROMS loading?
Help! I have not even used the damn phone yet. Would love to get it up and running...

Hi,
When you go into hboot,does it say S-ON at the top.
In which case you cannot install any ROMS
Check the guide to S-OFF in my sig.
That should set you on the right path.
yes you will need to perform S-off before doing anything
Hi Guys.
Before i start i want to mention that i searched everywhere and basically all these technical guide's and terms makes me even more confused and i don't really know what to do with this problem i have.
Ok here we go, last night i S-Off and Rooted my cousin's HTC Desire S with (revolutionary-0.4pre4 and Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed).
-Revolutionary-
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.98.1002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
Mar 10 2011, 14:58:38
So far so good, this all worked fine. No problems.
After that i installed the "RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed"
It was successfully flashed but here is where the problems started, after this i got the famous "stuck on white background with green HTC Logo"
Now to make things worse, i cannot access SD Card from the phone and it will not recognize my phone anymore from my PC (with ADB drivers installed).
The only thing that does work and recognize my phone is the "Fastboot USB" mode on my phone along with the "
ROM Upgrade Utility (RUU) - Aruwizard.exe"
I got a tons of errors and problems.
1. HBOOT gives
SD Checking...
Loading... [PG88DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading... [PG88DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading... [PG88IMG.zip]
2. in Recovery menu the following problems occur
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Wipe data/factory reset gives
E:Can't open /data/cwpkg.zip
E:Can't open /data/cw.prop
E:Can't open /cache/cwpkg.zip
E:Can't open /cache/cw.prop
Apply update from sdcard gives
-Invalid Operation-
Also i seem to have lost a few options in recovery after the RUU like "install zip from sd card" etc
My question is : Is there anything that can fix this or did the RUU bricked it completely?
I believe before flashing you were supposed to do a downgrade HBOOT using ENG HBOOT
Atleast thats what i did!
Revolutionary hboot has protection to prevent it from being overwritten, the way to change the hboot is to write it through recovery, but you also need to flash a recovery option (if none is available), through fastboot.
Basically, check if CWM or EXT4 are installed, if yes flash hboot through recovery (see the last 10 pages of the ENG HBOOT thread), if no, flash recovery through fastboot (see google), once recovery is installed, flash hboot, then proceed with RUU.
I tried this as well
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=958968
But no luck either

Problem now is, when i select "Recovery" from the hboot menu.. it gets stuck also at the White background / green HTC Logo screen. so now my recovery part is broken also?
Its all working now, i used the wrong recovery image at first.
I got clockwork recovery to work and from there i could do the HBOOT ENG and a pre-rooted RUU
xAutobot and Zeekiz, thanks for your help. Much appreciated!

i have exactly the same problem but i do not understand what you did to fix it...
do i need a program for my pc? what recovery did you use? just a simple explanation of what you did because im worried i cant get my phone to work again and im not necessarily a tecnitian... please
I can't remember anymore tbh its been a long time since i did this.
But it had something to do with the right recovery file for your phone i think.
at the clockworkmod rom manager website you can download it.

What you need is, first:
- change the revolutionary hboot for an engineering hboot to allow RUU to overwrite it.
--> https://www.box.com/s/8a14444cd1dc4c91f077
This file contains both original and overalpharevx .img (6.98.2000) you should use this one first. You could use fastboot, android flasher or the PG88IMG.zip (the easy way) included to do that.
when it's done you can safely run the RUU and go back to stock (s-on)
or
you can flash 4ext or clockworkmod using fastboot and enjoy your custom rom.

I can`t flash any recovery normally, I fear I messed up the cache\recovery seriously .
First I tried to flash ICS OTA – didn’t work, I was revolutionary S-off, after a few times I gave up (rebooting successful by reason: oem).
I re-flashed the RUU, and it went back to Pyrmid S-on. I`ve unlocked the bootloader HTC way.
Then tried to flash CWM, but I got some sort of error. Then I`ve installed "Android Recovery Manager". Tried to flash CWM through it, but ergh – it hangs on "waiting for device"
I tried to fastboot devices & fastboot getvar cid and got corret results, but when i`ve tried to change to superCid – I got this message:

so, I realized something went terribly wrong somewhere.
I`m looking for a "fresh start" – is there any complete clone of the recovery file system? Or any other way to flash a complete recovery file system (odin ?!)
Please help.

Don't apply s on, you need to run the correct ruu.for your cid.
Flashing RUU does not make you s on. If you're s on you had to make it that way.
Bad news is you can't run RUU with s on.

**Sorry for my english**
error 155 can mean several things.
Try to run the RUU from fastboot, That usually clears up the 155 error
If not, let us know and we will find some other solution.
If you think, launched the phone in fastboot and on PC run RUU so it's the same, error 155.
ICS doesn't work so device stay in HBOOT and fastboot.
Have you relocked the bootloader before running the RUU ??
RUU's wont work unless bootloader is locked, To lock it open a command window, navigate to the location of all your adb / fastboot files and type:
fastboot oem lock
Then run the RUU again
I do it but fastboot in PC wrote:
