How I fixed 1.76.0010 S-ON boot and 3.22.20.17 (SEMI-BRICK)

Few days ago, a lil' goddam' birdy started to tickle my feelings repeating over and over again "reflash your stupid phone!!!"... So that's what I did.
Unfortunately it seems that I picked up the only one bad combination out there. A 2.1 Rogers over CM6. That's how I end up starring at my new HTC-magic shaped-brick showin' a sweet, white, batery hunger display on wich was written smth like 1.76.0010 S-ON boot and 3.22.20.17 Radio. It was like I could see a lower phrase of smth like "you are so screwed!!! ".
Anyway...
1st I used Magic_Rogers_3.54.631.3 again wich started to upload files on my phone but in the end it returned a bad signatures error. The same thing hapened when i tried to flash over fastboot.
Then I downloaded the official default ROM for my phone (TIM 32A). Wich obviously din't work since older versions of RUU updater were using adb to connect with the phone, and that's how I was stuck in RUU bootloader without any recovery or anything.
However. Since Rogers application was able to upload on the device, but the files couldn't be written because of the perfected SPL, it was clear that is using fastboot instead of adb for this, so I thought would be a good ideea, to flash via fastboot the orginal files wich could contain phone's signatures. Evrika!!! It WORKED!!! my brick is now a fully functional 32A Magic!
For this, you might want to download your default official software from HTC website using phone's serial number or from here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=659403 (since I'm kinnda' new I cannot post links )
Starting the RUU aplication, (no need for the phone to be plugged, we are only stealing some files right now) generates 2 temporary folders wich you can find here:
Vista / Win7 - %Root%\Users\%currentuser%\AppData\Local\Temp
WinXP - %Root%\Documents and Settings\%currentuser%\Local Settings\Temp\
Go to this location and search for the folder wich contains rom.zip (clean your temp folders before extracting... you don't wanna search for a file a whole day - especially if you started some RUU aplications before this one). This is the file you need. Unzip this file and fastboot flash your files from here.
Another method is to download the attached archive wich contains the RUU aplication from Rogers 2.1, unzip it and put the rom.zip in its folder then start it to flash your phone.
Hope this helped you, you allready know the disclaimer ****... "I'm not responsible for any damage you might do to your phone, bla bla"
Sorry for posting this into development section. If a moderator can move it to general it would be nice

You know what... this can actually be considered Development... sorta. It's productive enough to be. Certainly informative enough for inexperienced users. Although nothing was actually developed it's kind of in between.
Here's what I'll do, I'll move it to General but with a 90 day re-direct so it'll be in both for three months. Afterwards it'll be defaulted to General only.

Many Thanks!
My phone has been softbricked for almost a week before I came across this. I couldn't extract the rom.zip so I downloaded your archive and copied the rom over and it worked. Thank you!
Just a note to anyone else, I have a Rogers Magic and I used the rom generated by the RUU_Sapphire_Rogers_WWE_2.17.631.2_release_signed_NoDriver.exe. My phone did hand up when it tried to update the radio. The phone screen went to a dark blue and the progress bar stopped rising after about 5 minutes. I unplugged the phone, rebooted it and plugged it back in, the RUU attempted the update a second time and succeeded.

Ok, try this. Extract Rom1.zip to a folder. Open rom.zip and extract ONLY radio.img and hboot_7200A_1.76.0009_091208 to the same place where you extracted rom1.zip (EG - Rom1 folder). Now delete both archives, and make a zip archive containing the files from Rom1 folder (files only without the folder itself). Name this archive rom.zip, put it into your RUUapp downloaded from here (before that, don't forget to delete rom1.zip + rom.zip from there), and try flash it like that. If this does not work, try to extract boot_special.img as well and repeat the procedure. But i think this boot special file is responsible for your error since i don't find it on any other package. I don't know if HTC zip files have special atributes or they are pure zip files. Maybe some one could tell us about this.
@andreas - Who are you asking? I used TIM official RUU since I have a TIM 32A. Try using the exact rom from your phone brander.
Cheers!

If that is the rom, it gives customer id error despite gold card.

That's the rom allright. I'll upload it later and post the address here.
If both methods give you sig error try using EU zip.

You unzip the file to a folder which gives you the rosie and all widgets. You will then need a tool to copy the files across to your phone (I use QtADB - Google it). You must delete the old widgets first or else you will end up with a right mess. Once you have copied them across, reboot to Recovery and clear the cache then reboot the phone.
IMPORTANT: Always backup using CWM before you try this so that you can recover if you mess up. You have been warned. Good luck

or use droid explorer

problems with flashtool

im unable to make a ftf file with flashtool. i unzip the file. then search it, select it in source folder. The flashtool never opens the file and subfiles. It never displays in the left column. Ive started with a zip file, then unziped it. Ive also tried winRAR to extract the files. Im using 2.9.1 Java 1.6.0_24 os 6.1
Any help or tips would be appreciated

Hey, you must sure that in the zip file just one file .ftf, if so, extract it. If there are 4 files like system, data ... you must rename the .zip file to .ftf

OK, what you have is wolfbreaks rom, this is installed on your phone via xrecovery not an ftf file, if you want to install it you need to install xrecovery on your phone first, then install this from there.
You need a rooted rom for this, so is your rom rooted and what version are you on 2.1 or 2.3

I have x recovery on my phone know. That's how I upgraded from 2.1 to 2.3, because my phone is sim unlocked. Super user is v2.3.6.1 I followed a thread on the upgrade. I can link which thread when I'm home.

[Q] can´t install calculator

I am trying to install stock calculator from orange froyo to CyanogenMod 7 Nightly but every time i try to install it I get:application not installed
how can i get it in the phone?

Dude you can't do it, there is no such way that you can do a normal install with a copied HTC apk from rom. As they are not intended to install like normal apk. Besides you have to copy it to system/app. And you can't do it straight. You should be rooted. Also there is a support file in the folder of original file( dnt remb its name) which is required for its working. You have to copy both of them in system/app.
Repeat the question in threads like" android app development or some thing related to apps or developments, to get a procedure based fast replay.

Cm7 i think comes with a calculator!!! Unpack zip on PC before install then in unzipped file goto system app and delete calculator then copy the apk your trying to install into same app folder then rezip all unzipped files making sure you don't include original zip package and make sure you have named it same as original too ending in (.zip) then flash as normal,should work if not then it must be the apk is at error.

You should be able to extract the boot and system images from Google's factory image.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam
I wasn't aware that the kitchen worked with the Nexus 4 as its still listed as one of the unsupported devices but the thread hasn't been updated since October of last year so maybe that changed.
this is copied from dsixda's kitchen thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 post #3):
How do I import a ROM into the kitchen to use as my base?
(The instructions below are for HTC devices in general. For other devices, please visit the appropriate thread.)
From a shipped ROM:
First, find the shipped ROM for your device, usually from htc.com or from searching xda-developers (check the Wiki or sticky posts under your device's sub-forum).
This link may help: Various devices
Please don't ask me for links, as I don't know everything or own all devices.
The shipped ROM can be found in three different formats. Identify the type you have downloaded:
If the shipped ROM is in a .ZIP format, then simply copy it to the kitchen's original_update folder.
OR if the shipped ROM consists of system.img and boot.img files, then copy those two files to the kitchen's original_update folder. If the ROM also includes a lib.img (found in some newer HTC ROMs), then copy that as well!
OR if the shipped ROM is in an .EXE format, then do the following:
In Windows, run the shipped ROM's .EXE file till it gets to the first dialog. Stop there but don't close the window yet.
Go to Start->Run and type: %TEMP%
When the folder opens, search for Rom.zip (use the "magnifying glass" Search button)
Copy Rom.zip to your kitchen's original_update folder
OR from a cooked/custom ROM:
Copy the update.zip (or equivalent ZIP file) to your kitchen's original_update folder
OR from a Nandroid backup (under /sdcard/nandroid) [NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NON-STOCK ROM BACKUPS]:
Copy the system.img and boot.img files from the backup folder to your kitchen's original_update folder

Hm, i see. But the problem with the dev links for Google is that it's 4.2.2 and not 4.2.1... I would like to stay to an older version for the moment, with those problems with bootloaders, kernels etc... I will try with system and boot img, thanks !
Sent from my Blade S using xda app-developers app

Well, i tried to use the tutorial about shipped rom, but my system.img and boot.img files aren't recognized by the kitchen... So i don't know how to do Halp ?

In this thread you have posted link to factory image with android 4.2.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848
