you will also need to install correct drivers on your pc, install pdanet on your desktop, that should do it

In order to use fastboot to push any commands the phone must have an ENG. Hboot. When you boot into bootloader what does it say on the top line on the page with the skateboarding andriods on the bottom? If it says VISION PVT SHIP S-ON your pretty much stuck. The phone is a paper weight. HTC is probably the only one who can fix this. It must say VISION PVT ENG S-OFF or at least VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF if there is any chance for fixing it. The only other hopes in fixing it is to flasch the stock PC10IMG to the phone in bootloader but this will only work if the phone did NOT have the OTA 1.22 rom update applyed to it. There is no way to tell this unless you try it out, but if you do have S-OFF do not try this because it will turn S back on and your screwed. If it says S-Off there is a cooked version of the PC10IMG by hot_hands that you can flash that will keep your S-Off and give you root access plus it will flash the ENG Hboot for you, I have a copy of this at home and can post it later for you, if you have S-Off.

phone is locked. i would load the original rom with fastboot

I think you can download a pc10.zip and flash it. Worth a try

He can't use fastboot he doesn't have an ENG. HBoot he has the SHIP Hboot.
He can try the original stock 1.19 PC10IMG thru bootloader, that is his only option.

Sometimes it hard to fact the facts but I think your phone is beyond help, at least the help offered here in the forum, I think the only thing that will bring you phone back is HTC or JTAG both of which are not available here. Might call HTC and see if they can do anything for you.

For parts? I'm just guessing, $100.00, but you definitely dont want to pass it onto someone else with false hopes of somehow restoring it to working order. Bad Karma.

Are you sure you copied it to the root of your sdcard? With the right file name? It seems as if it isn't picking it up at all.

You could give this method a try. Follow the instructions carefully. The links to the files you'll need are there too.

[Q] My3G T-Mobile Help for previoulsy rooted updated by mistake

Hi,
my daughter updates from settings/updates their previously rooted My3G T-Mobile phone and now it is a endless booting loop.
Recovery is still there but can't select the options, i can navigate through all four but phone buttons do not execute them.
I can access fastboot, also Hboot and have a Gold Card.
So, i read every thread and tested many things but i need guidance because i don't want to do further damage.
Here it's phone current state:
PVT32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP30000)
CPLD10
RADIO-2.22.28.25
Oct 21 2009, 22:33:27
fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 2.10.531.4
Thanks in advance for helping on this, my daughter really miss their phone.

Have you tried flashing the stock Cupcake update or a RUU? That's how I get out of boot loops. And they are automatically picked up by fastboot.

Hi TheBlade,
no, not tried.
Have you a link or post with procedure to complete that task?
I can search but want to be sure on what to install.
Regards.

Sorry for taking so long to respond. Did you buy the phone in the US? I can see that you have a T-Mobile rom flashed. Is this a mytouch 1.2 (does it have a headset jack)? I can help you better if I know that.

Hi TheBlade,
no complains, my daughter can wait
Yes, it's a T-Mobile US phoneut doesn't have a 3.5mm jack, just the usb like HTC connector.
The box said: MyTouch 3G
Thanks!

I believe this link: http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/magic/nbh/coc10/SAPPIMG.nbh
will work. Download and put it on the microsd card that came with the phone (don't put it inside a folder). Turn on the phone to the bootloader, and it should detect the file. It should ask if you want to apply the update. Say yes, and then you will be back to stock. Let me know how it goes.
Sent from my Sapphire/dream using XDA App

Thanks TheBlade.
Performed the suggested process and got "Main Version is older!" Update Fail! message.
Anything else to try?

At this point I believe putting the file on the goldcard would work. It seems as though the update was partially completed, and so it refuses to let you flash an older rom. The goldcard forces it to flash the rom, so put put the file on the goldcard, and try to flash again.
Hoping it works!

Thanks The Blade.
Well, the funny thing is that i use the Goldcard that help to root/ing SPL this phone before. Anyway, i'll try to complete the whole Goldcard process again and see if it works.

Hopefully it works! Ill try and see if there are any other options.

[Q] I'm a little lost--could use some help

First of all, my phone is the T-Mobile myTouch 3G 1.2 32A with the headphone jack and all that.
So I've been trying to flash new SPLs, radios, ROMs, and recoveries, and I've messed things up. I could use some help because I'm totally lost at this point.
The main issue I'm having now is my phone is hanging on the green myTouch 3G screen. I CAN load into fastboot, however. I've been flashing radios and recoveries, but I can't seem to get the phone to boot.
The current readout at the top of my fastboot looks like this:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-3.22.26.17
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I recently flashed the x.26.x radio because I saw some people saying that helped... I think. But I've been using this fastboot commander (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824435) to flash back and forth between the "old" and "new" packages of spl and radios.
Oh yeah, and the recovery I last flashed was titled "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H". Didn't seem to help my issue. Still not able to get into recovery, only fastboot.
I assume since I'm still able to flash radios and such that I'm not totally screwed, so if someone could point me to the correct files or something, that would be much appreciated. At this point, I'd settle for resetting this thing to factory settings. Whatever it takes to make it functional again would be nice.
Please help! Thanks in advance!

Stop what you are doing!
Find and flash the 1.33.0013 or 0013d spl, a 2.22.x radio and they version of amonra recovery from fastboot. Then you sould be back up and running.
These files are easy to find but ill get you links if you have trouble

OK, I've downloaded what seem to be the correct files. I'll try those out, but for right now it seems my battery is too low to continue. I'll let you know if I have any more questions when I try later, though! Thanks for replying!

Well, I tried those files with no luck. Perhaps you could link me to the right ones? Maybe I got it wrong.
Anyway, my fastboot readout now shows:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13

Same issue. I turn the phone on and it hits the green myTouch 3G screen. Then it sits there. I left it for about 20 minutes and there as no change. I'm not sure what could be wrong.

Still can't get into recovery. I'm currently having trouble getting files onto my SD card. I think you can manage files through the fastloader while connected to USB, but I guess I need drivers for that. I can't seem to find those. :/
If I could get that to work, I could try flashing a ROM. The last ROM I had on there was Cyanogen 6, though.

I was able to get access to my SD card through other means, but how do I flash a ROM from fastloader now? I tried putting an update Zip file in the root. Not sure if that's right. :S

Roms are flashed through recovery.
So if you dont have a working recovery or rom then you'll have to restore to stock then re-root
Put this on your sdcard and name it sappimg.zip and pot your phone with volume down + power

[POLL] Does it Exist or Should it?

Is there already a tool for Rooting the HTC Magic automatically?
I'm looking at making a tool that will do everything needed to get HTC Magic rooting with minimal knowledge needed by the user.
This was my first Android Phone and I rooted it no problems the 2nd time around. My first attempt resulted in a hard brick. I was lucky and the phone was replaced. My second attempt went better and I was able to sucessfully root, install Amon_RA recovery, flash Eng SPL, Custom ROM.
I was hoping to help make the process a little more "foolproof" for first timers.
I searched the forums here and have yet to find such a tool.
With help and suggestions I would like to make this program support multiple phone models both HTC and beyond.

Superoneclick. Roots in... well... one click

superoneclick seems to work pretty well, not sure if there others like it.

Yeah. SuperOneClick is the best and easy.

SuperOneClick is good for rooting but it doesn't flash an Engineering SPL or ROM.

Oh I see what you're talking about. A program that will root and flash a recovery in as few clicks as possible. that's a good idea. Make it easier for the noobs.

Pretty much. Just trying to figure out how to get it to detect the phone type as well. Once I can get that I can make it useful for a broad range of phones.

I would suggest a drop down menu where you select device at the beginning and then root and flash with proper files

Good idea. But I also want it to be able to detect the phone type to ensure someone isn't trying to flash the wrong things. Would hate to see brick posts because someone tried to flash the recovery for the wrong phone.

In theory there are following differences between types:
Magic 32A: hboot 1.33.xxxx / radio 3.22.xx.xx OR hboot: 1.76.xxxx / radio 6.35.xx.xx; MID: SAPPxxxxx
Magic 32B / MT3G: hboot 1.33.xxxx / radio 2.22.xx.xx; MID: SAPPxxxxx
MT3G v1.2: hboot 1.33.xxxx / radio 2.22.xx.xx; MID: SAPP31000 (only); 3.5" audiojack
You can query hboot, radio and modeild from fastboot commands:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-bootloader
fastboot getvar version-baseband
fastboot getvar modelid
But it is not enough. In some cases there are exceptions like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23595971&postcount=1
User wrote about Magic 32B, but device changed to 32A via inappropriate radio
Just note: it is a "brick" (half or full). If phone has 1.33.xxxx hboot, then it can not have radio 6.35.xx.xx - it will not work normally.
Case #2 - modelid can return sapp*****

[Q] My Touch 4g Boot Problems

after taking my phone from a store that fix cellphones. I took the phone there to change the screen that was cracked and the inside screen that was dead. When I took back my phone and I started the phone, that is the moment I saw that. I was running Dark Side rom. I got a PD15IMG from 4share that I found here in xda forums but when I start doing the updating, it just stays there and do nothing else. Hope someone can help me with this problem.....ohh and before taking the phone there the Ship was S=OFF...I dont know if that have to do something with it.

never seen that hboot

Looks like they changed your motherboard.
The easy way is: go back to the store and ask them either to restore what you were running on the phone, or to bring you to the stock ROM.
Your only chance to do it yourself is to find PD15IMG for the latest stock ROM - including the latest update by T-Mobile that bumps the HBOOT from 0.89.0005 to 0.89.0006 (if it exists at all). The standard 2.2.1 and 2.3.4 PD15IMG files that are the most shared on the forum won't help you.

Thank you for joining, I think you reminded me of what might be the correct answer. 0.89.0006 is the HBOOT that is made by HTCDev unlock.
In this case, OP, what you need to do is the following:
1) Proceed with HTCDev unlock.
2) Once unlocked - flash custom recovery.
3) From custom recovery, in root ADB shell, override the main version on MISC partition (find this part in the downgrading guide).
4) Copy PD15IMG.ZIP with stock 2.2.1 Froyo PD15IMG.ZIP to /sdcard for downgrading.
5) Reboot to FASTBOOT (put attention - NOT to HBOOT! execute "adb reboot bootloader", or choose "reboot to bootloader" option from recovery).
6) Relock HBOOT.
7) Execute "REBOOT BOOTLOADER", proceed with downgrading flash.
8) Boot the phone regularly, it should boot.
9) Root and S-OFF.
10) Do whatever you want.

Sounds odd hope ya did not up date the ring radio is it boot looping or just stuck on mytouch 4g screen? Best bet is to dl a new file n see what happens might be a soft brick good luck

Ok, I was trying to unlock bootloader using Htcdev and everything was ok until i got to the cmd. I type the command and as soon and I hit enter i get this
<bootloader> [ERR] Command error !!!
so...that mean the phone have no fix?

You're writing a wrong command. Most likely making a typo, or not copy-pasting.

That's the thing, i was writing the right thing but nothing happened

Can It be a Hardware problem?

Most likely not. Can't be 100% sure.

I took the phone to a store to see if they can get the phone back to life. They told me that, the phone its done...but I read this article in xda where it says that if you can enter in the bootloader, you still have hope and if you try to upload and update with a PD15IMG and it doesn't say Fail P-U it means the phone can still work...

So i tried everything to recover my phone...but it seems Its just hopeless. I tried by using cmd but its still saying that there is an error in the command. I tried with every possible PD15IMG available out there and still can't get it. BUT I still reading that as long as you can get into HBOOT you still have hope...if there is someone out there that can fix this...or It's just the end of my phone T_T

Exactly what command are you typing(like, how are you typing it, letters/spaces/etc)? Maybe seeing it would help to understand if you're going wrong somewhere...just a thought

I was typing it like this:
