[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] waacow:
Mirror the similar thread in Dream forum, I started this thread as a constructive and positive place for those of us that have recently lost our MyTouch or Magic.

I am going to document the steps I took and hopefully reverse engineer this issue and also prevent other folks from doing the same mistake. This forum has been and good source of info. Thanks

What I did

Following [How-To] Root the T-Mobile myTouch 3G and I was able to flush to 2005 SPL and root successful as 32A rom.

Then I stop at "For Daredevils" and went with a different route.

I took the MT3G OTA (signed-opal-ota-150449.95700137.zip) and resigned it with test key and try to update it.

Update was done successfully and radio firmware updated at the same time and once reboot I got red screen of death.

What I got now

Red brick or Red screen of death

Power up while holding 'Back' button, volume down or any other button always result in Red Vodafone logo of death. I can't get to fastboot.

I can't get to recovery or fastboot which mean I can't do anything at all.

What I suspect

Flashing the radio (unclear what ver#) from MT3G OTA build (signed-opal-ota-150449.95700137.zip) might be that reason why it bricked.

Perhaps I probably should have followed the rest of the steps on "For Daredevils" and flash the ION radio and 32B RAv1.2.0G recovery, after that than trying to update with MT3G OTA without the radio.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] waacow:
I read somewhere in the forum (I forgot where), the reason why a bricked phone couldn't boot to SPL and not able to fastboot was because the radio firmware was loaded during SPL startup. Due to issue with loading radio firmware, SPL won't start properly.

Base on that, what we can try is to re-flash the radio firmware. How?

Maybe i can put the radio firmware as update.zip but how can i get the phone to load it when i can't fastboot
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] robotician:
It's my opinion. If there is a way, that probably (track ball)+(power), the only key combination we(?) can see .

Let's find a way!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] robotician:
I think we have exactly same problem.:eek:

I'm sorry. I misunderstood. But I flashed ION radio. then...I got a pretty red brick!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drewX2:
I do not believe my phone is bricked but I believe it's pretty close...

My Rogers HTC Magic will not boot/load any recovery. I had a fully functional magic for several months using lots of different roms, however I developed a problem with one of the roms and after trying to install a new one, I can no longer boot any rom.

I can only boot into the fastboot screen, which says the following:

SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A ENG S-OFF H

HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP50000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

Apr 20 2009,15:30:43

Everytime I try to either boot ANY (RA/cyan version) recoveries from either fastboot or flashing it, it does not want to start up.

I can flash just fine, however I do not know if anything is working correctly because only fastboot is accessible, everything else just sits at a rogers logo.

What should I do next?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] theomajigga:
fastboot flash radio <the correct radio>
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drewX2:
Where do I find these radio files? And thanks for the help! I had no clue I needed to flash the radio
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pack:
you can get the radio img's from htc...

http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drewX2:
I have flashed the radio and still get only a rogers screen. I also have reflashed everything with original rogers magic files found on the forum (boot/system/userdata/recovery).

Still only have fastboot working

UPDATE: Got Recovery working. I flashed the radio/recovery from a givemeroot.zip I saw for those flashing the mt3g. I believe it can be used on this as well. Next step is to get a rom loaded
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] edykes1:
Flashed HardSPL and permabrick mt3g

I have been running Hero ROM's with no issues until today when I flashed a Hard SPL because I wanted to try Cyanogen latest. The new SPL bricked the phone, no power -splash- hboot, just a black screen.

The previous ROM's I have been flashing didn't need a new SPL. Are you not supposed to flash the SPL on the mt3g?

Thanks in advance for the input.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] captain_fox:
Same thing happend to me too, followed the steps till the radio part, flashed the radio - red brick. luckily i manged to get mine exchanged.

edit: duh, sorry seemed to be a somewhat old post/topic
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Kurt2:
Any progress on this guys???
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Straightflush:
ummm... okay, I believe it could be easy goings here, if you go to one of the threads, which I believe you can find fairly easily, to switch radio/SPL through fastboot...

Rogers Magic should NOT use 2.22 radio, but either 3.22 or 6.35, unless of course you are using the dream, which is a different thing all together. Then, push the recovery you want (clockwork or amon RA), if after switch spl/radio, does not work. and voila, theres your fix

**NVM, didn't realize your question got answered

Thank you!!!

waterworth, you're a lifesaver!!! The information on the 2degrees website wasn't particularly helpful, but with your instructions I've now got MMS and mobile Internet working on my brand new HTC HD2! I don't think I could've figured it out otherwise.

Now we just need 2degrees to roll out that 3G network...

Thanks so much,

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icebergxx:
As a root user I know we have gained Multi touch in the web browser, and recently I learned/made sense that the Hero's on scnree QWERY works a world of a lot better BECAUSE OF ITS MULTITOUCH!

WHY HASNT ANYONE ADDED MULTI TOUCH TO THE WITH GOOGLE BRANDED PHONES!?

I dont believe its been done yet, and I think if it is done I will quit neglecting the Sapphire.

What do you think?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian_v3ntura:
because htc made their own UI and htv sense for the hero.

in speculation..the 2.0 update being developed by google might include multitouch.

btw this thread belong in Q&A
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deathwish238:
Because Apple asked Google not to. So Google wanting to play it nice, didn't add Multitouch.

Who really cares? Multitouch adds very little to the end experience imo. If anything, I have found the +- buttons on the browser to be easier to use than multitouch afaik. Sure, the multitouch gallery is nice...but again it's not that big of a deal.

It in no way makes or breaks the phone...and I have an iPhone too btw.

Edit: The HTC on screen qwerty is better because it has much better spell checking and prediction than the stock keyboard. It has nothing to do with multitouch. If you're interested in checking it out, you should put one of the many Hero builds onto your phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icebergxx:
Well to be honest I had in mind my disapproval of the Sapphire because I'm more of a texting person and because it lacks multi touch when its in QWERY its a lot slower and more difficult to use since it can't trace all the input.

So my whole post about multi touch on the Goggle Key board for more so directed for development/usability I know about Google and Apples relation, well I suppose just the just of it and not wanting multi touch and all. But I think since we use multi touch on the browser why not create it for the onscreen keyboard?

I personally don't think much of multi touch either I just believe that if it were done my appeal and many other people would enjoy their sapphire more and find it easier to adapt without its physical QWERY.

n i only did because it saids questions and answers
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jashsu:
I guess hindsight is 20/20, but don't leave your personal belongings unattended if you don't want them to get stolen.

You could always try calling your phone. You could have tried calling a security guard to assist you if the thief turned up in the vicinity.

But since this occurred a while ago the best you can do now is just to file an insurance claim with Asurion.

Personally, I would be more worried about identity theft rather than the cost of replacing a phone. I suggest you immediately go change your Google Account password.

really??? you put your very exspensive phone down in plain sight and walked away from it in a crowded area and when you got back it was gone?? wow i never would have though people could be so cruel, with the economy kicking ass the way it is there should be no reason for anyone to steal anything, we all have enough money to just go out and buy whatever it is that we want. prices are down on everything and my wages are up so i have loads of money in the bank and plenty in cash too.........

oh wait nvm that was all a dream, you screwed up and should have known better than to leave your phone on a table at the mall, no offense but you made a stupid mistake, change all your passwords and call t-mo/asurion

and no by the way i never did because i read on a forum people said it kills the battery
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThR1LL:
Do you have any other type of tracking program like Mobile Defense or something? Do you know your IME(or w/e it's called) #?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
I use an app called Pinpoint or something like that. You send a text to your number (you would use someone elses phone or e-mail or something obviously) with just the word "Locate" and it bounces back with the exact location. Unfortunatly the thief will likely notice the text and shut off the phone. However if you keep your phone LOCKED then you won't have to worry about it. Another unfortunate possibility is that the thief will also more then likely pull out your sim.

In regards to the "keeping the gps locate off to conserve battery" do this.

Download and install Locale. Set up a rule with a high priority (move it to the top) that when you recieve a call from a specific number it will turn on your GPS. Then track it down that way. There is also Latitude with Google, Loopt, etc that can give you an idea of where your phone is as long as they didn't clear or wipe your data. But as I said... if you keep your phone LOCKED they can't do that in the first place. Which buys you some time because they will have to research to find out how to wipe the phone. Since most people would use a computer at HOME... you might be lucky enough to track him down there. Just make sure you have a 'black and white' with you and be prepared to give evidence that it's your property. The G1 box has the IMEI and if you don't have that call T-Mobile (if you got it from them) and they can give you the IMEI over the phone.

Hind sight is always 20/20, but you will get a new phone and being careless is a bad habit. And bad habits are hard to break. So you'll likely do it again even though you say that you've learned your lesson. So take precautions next time (if there is a next time).

1) NEVER LEAVE YOUR STUFF UNATTENDED.

2) Have security preventions (such as system lock) on your device.

3) Have some software to recover your device should you not do #1 and/or #2.

I've been doing the theft and investigations line of work for about 6 years and I have caught 8 people and helped recover about 20 lost/stolen equipment. I'm so confident in recovery (as long as the preventions are already in place) that I've risked my Tilt by setting it out as bait just to see if anyone would take it WHERE I WORK. It turned up missing in less then an hour! I tracked it down the next day with the coordinates that it sent me.

It turned out that one of my supervisors found it and took it home. BUSTED! The next day he resigned. So... trust no one. Keep your **** locked, backed up and on you at all times! Even at home! (Caught my girl sneaking through it a couple of times :p ).

I love this lil program and it's free, every time i even flash a new rom, it sends me the alerts :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oneofonex1:
next time have your own mind and make a better decision. android gets stolen and you need to locate it, Yes theres an app for that....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanetPanic:
It is always nice to see so many helpful people who never make mistakes. :)

Anyway call your provider and tell them your phone got stolen. That way they can put a freeze on the SIM (and IMEI if you are in Europe). Then deal with insurance and get it replaced. Not a big deal.

Personally I have locale running but would not bother trying to recover a stolen phone. It is not precise enough to track down the phone in realtime. Sim Checker could prove useful but I am not sure it would be worth the effort if the phone is insured. Remote Wipe would be the direction I would go. The hardware can be replaced but the personal info on the phone I would just as soon not get into a stranger's hands.

You still have to pay even if the insurance covers for your stolen phone. That's what i heard? Not entirely sure though. Next time be more careful.. I never leave my phone out of my sight :D.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] radikaled:
I was thinking of posting this in the general section but posting it here seemed more appropriate as I think the issue at hand is of a more technical nature. If this is not the case I apologize in advance.

I recently purchased a Black HTC Magic (Rogers branding) for use on the AT&T network here in the states. Since then I have had a very difficult time initiating calls while connected via 3G (UMTS/HSDPA). Even in high or low signal situations.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any consistency to my ability to make a call while on 3G. At times 5/5 calls would be successful and other times 1/5 calls are successful (the latter being true more often than not).

Suspecting there was some issue with my device being on 3G I forced my device to use 2G (EDGE) connections only. At which point my reliability issues go away completely (from what I can tell).

I don't experience any strange issues with using my data connection while on 3G/2G so it seems to be specific to voice.

Another interesting thing to note is while trying to initiate a call with the Google Voice application on 3G, I experience the same call initiation issues as mentioned above. Google Voice works as expected while on 2G.

I experience these issues on the original shipping Roger's ROM, as well as all the other 3rd party ROMS (HoFo, Cyanogen, etc...)

Here is information about my device from fastboot...

I would have to agree that it's probably the network, although I might be wrong. I also have a Rogers Magic running on AT&T in Arizona, and I have this issue as well, but not nearly as frequently as you do. This same problem used to happen from time to time with my HTC Fuze and my BlackBerry Curve.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] radikaled:
I've had a variety of different devices on the AT&T network (Northeast/Washington, D.C) and although yes I have experienced AT&T's wonderful network. What I'm experiencing just doesn't seem right. Makes me wonder if it's my SIM or particular build....

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nolsen311:
which ROM?

Just a question, but which ROM is everyone here using? I, too, experience the random inability to make phone calls over HSDPA. I was told by an at&t rep in-store today that the Rogers Magic does not 'show up' in their system as 3g capable. Pure bs is what I think, but lets rule out software, yes?

Calls over 3G/HSDPA is fine on my Magic and was also fine on my Nokia N79 using the same Cingular SIM card that I have. However, making outgoing Google Voice calls over 3G/HSDPA is a no go.
