Dude, maybe the reason it was failing is because you actually successfully flashed the SPL. Go back to my guide and start at step 4. Then let me know if you get stuck anywhere. I'm thinking if something went wrong then when you start trying to re-flash the stock radio back on you should get connection refused. If everything's good to go it'll work and you will be able to finish.

OK, so when you get back on let's try something. Go back to my guide and re-download sappimg. I swapped it out for a different one. Try flashing it using hboot (volume down+power) and then continue on with using fastboot to flash, hopefully that'll fix it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] N204life:
I cant boot into hboot remember. I can only boot into the screen with the chip on the bottom (RUU USB) And every time i do a fastboot operation when its on that screen i keep getting :

Semi-bricked Magic

So I'm not sure if I've posted this in the right section, but I'm having similar issues to the OP, so I'm hoping if this thread hasn't been closed yet, I have a chance at getting some info. I'm using an HTC Magic 32a, and recently used the goldcard method to root it. Somewhere along the way, something must have gone horribly awry, because I can't get any roms to "stick" to my phone... Every time I flash a rom, it either comes back with an error which I believe was something about status 7, it boot loops, or the most interesting one I've had yet, it takes a while to boot, then when it finally gets to the initial set up screen I have about 10 seconds to do anything before it will start boot looping endlessly.

I'm using hboot 1.33.2005 and radio 6.35.10.18 if that helps anyone help me. I've tried flashing roms for the Dream, the Magic (both 32a and b) and the Hero, but I've never had a successful boot yet. Closest I ever get is on the Hero roms. I'm considering using the Rogers RUU from last july to revert back and start over from scratch; anyone recommend something else/suggest I don't make that flash?

I'm just iffy about flashing anything new on here since I have bricked a Magic in past by flashing the wrong stuff
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
@N204life

Download this and try running it with your GoldCard in your phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jascayne:
Up and running... kinda

I've gotten it flashed back with the european RUU, flashed the rogers RUU to get it back to my locale, and now I can't flash anything except for cyanogenmod 5.08... Every time I try to install a different rom it pops back varying errors related to my hboot which is 1.76.2007, while my radio is 3.22.20.17 in case that makes a difference to things. I appreciate the help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] keinengel:
SPL 1.76.* works only with radio 6.35 (new radio, NR) and SPL 1.33.* works only with radio 3.22 (old radio, OR)!

If you want plain CyanogenMod 5.08, it might be a good idea to flash SPL 1.33.2010 and keep your current radio.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jascayne:
So do I need to flash the other spl, or the other radio? which one is less likely to brick?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] keinengel:
Download this tool http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=677045 and flash them both at the same time :) And when you're done thank eyegor for the great work he's done with the flasher.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jascayne:
So can I just flash this over what I already have without fear of bricking my phone? Side question as well - if I just pop a goldcard into a stock Magic, could I just use this utility after dropping an engineering spl on there and be good to go?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] keinengel:
Well, basically yes :) Flashing from fastboot is probably the safest way to do it.

The goldcard fools fastboot into flashing RUUs and official ROMs made for your phone, but another CID (every country and provider has its own CID). So the engineering SPL should be enough, since you'll be flashing your ROMs from recovery :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jascayne:
Awesome, thanks for the help guys. One last piece of advice before I go and actually do the deed here... Should I be using the new or old spl/radio combo if I want to flash the newest froyo roms on this bad boy? Don't get me wrong, I like cyanogen 5, but I would like to try v6, or possibly another build entirely
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jascayne:
Alright, so I went ahead and got the new radio and spl flashed, and now when I try to install roms, instead of complaining about my spl like it was before, now it comes back with errors about the sapphire... Now I know that I have an HTC Sapphire if I have a Magic, but does this not mean that my phone no longer believes itself to be a Magic? Should I try flashing Hero roms instead now?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] keinengel:
Well, since you're on the new radio you'll need the Hero recovery or, even better, the custom recovery made by Cursordroid for the new radio.

You can find that one at http://www.theandroidkitchen.com/fi...download=recovery-RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.6.2.img

Other than that, you can flash any ROM made for the Sapphire/Magic 32A with the new radio, which includes a few ports of Froyo, but most of them have the camera broken. If you want a functional camera, just flash back to the old radio/spl and use the ROMS intended for it :)

What errors are you talking about? Be more specific, post a screenshot or something. Are you getting them in Recovery while flashing a custom ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Or better yet, stop thread jacking and make your own. N204, did you ever try my last suggestion?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] N204life:
Sorry i havent looked at this in a couple days causing ive been riding in the desert for pretty much the last week. Anyways im downloading that RUU right now and ill give it a shot
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] N204life:
No Such luck with the RUU Don. I got a model id error
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Well bud I think you might be hosed. That was honestly about my last idea after several hours of searching. Someone else who knows more might come along, but I'm at my wits end. On the upside, hit me up on gtalk towards the end of the week and I'll give you some good news.
[Windows Mobile] venomshot629:
Hey All, Im new to cooking ROMs and am trying to make one for TP2 Rhodium US.

Initially I was having issues with .netCF but that is fixed.

Now when I am flashing my ROM, I get no errors, but the HTC sense and Titanium interfaces wont load.

I can open the start menu and see about half of the things i installed, and half missing.

Any ideas?

Im using 23128 Sys and Ext files, Manila 2016, with the official HTC OEM 21887 base.
[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
Sounds like you dont have netcf in the ROM!!
[Windows Mobile] venomshot629:
I just did a search, it is located in my Sys>23128>Shared>COMMON folder

I have added many files that I had previously removed to save space, and now I am getting this error when trying to create the build

"692 Modules present; Too many modules.... with 6.1 NK.exe and 6.5 XIP you' ll have non-bootable ROM.... Exiting..."

EDIT: I am now trying to recreate it in osKitchen Zero, and I see that I have SYS Build 21887, but i also have the 23128 file, could this be what is causing issues?

I have one zip file that has 23128 ZIP and SYS folders, and one that has 23128 Shared, MSXIPKernel and 0409... Do i just replace these over the 21887 files?
[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
You need to check that box it says real wm6.5 kernel I think. Its been so long since I used EVK, I forgot what it says exactly.
[Windows Mobile] venomshot629:
Okay, it looks like it is going now, if it doesnt work this time Im guessing maybe im not using the newer 23128 files and folders in the correct place? :confused:

Kies crashes everytime i start calendar. Even if i try to sync calendar without opening the calendar application in kies, the sync process remains at 0% and never advances

I have the JG5 firmware

Has anyone faced this problem? Thanks

I upgraded to JM2 and calendar sync now works just fine. IT was a G5 firmware problem

Kies

Hi

Thanks for the reply. Its amazing how samsung launches such an unfinished product. Buggy unoptimized firmware for the galaxy s and a buggy managemant software. I had an iphone 3gs before this one and everything worked out of the box. I expected this samsung telephone to kill the iphone, but i am somewhat disappointed.

I really dont like the "ching ching" mentality of apple, and that is why i switched to samsung/android, but now i am starting to believe that was a mistake as I dont have time to keep trying to find way around bugs
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prankey:
I agree! Kies is extremely buggy and I finally got my calender synced after days of random retries! I had to try like 10 times to get my contacts synced. Also, Kies should support copying SMS, phone records and Contacts directly from a Windows Mobile backup. I can not even use wired teether as the APN is configured incorrectly for my service provider and Kies do not allow me to change it!

Worst of all, while all Windows mobile phones support installing/uninstalling of apps, backing up the entire phone using Microsoft specific management tools, I am yet to find a tool for Android. Why hasn't google made such tools??? Are they busy only in trying new things like a new born baby then concentrating on these basic requirements??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
So I've got my phone rooted with Cyanogen 5.0.8 DS loaded up and running fine. I wanted to mess with OC'ing so I followed these directions but started only getting a black screen after the splash instead of the animation. After already having Cyanogen installed I tried flashing the boot-cm_2634_ds_32a-oc-uv-fp-061710.zip kernel and couldn't get the phone to reboot with the previously mentioned problem. So I did a complete wipe, reflashed Cyanogen, reflashed the Google Apps, and then flashed the OC kernel with the same indications. I'm pretty sure I'm suppose to be using the 32A kernel, am I wrong? Also, will just running SetCPU work or do you have to load the kernel as well?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
You don't use 32A because the Fender/1.2 is a 32A/B hybrid.

Use 32B.

How can I do hard reset for HTC T3238 device, please help me?
[General Questions and Answers] bobbylx:
Hello all, I have a question I hope someone has an answer to.

I bought the original iPhone a few months after release and got the $20 data +200 text messages plan. I have gotten rid of that phone and over the last year and a half have used the Lg Incite, Tmobile G1 and the Mytouch 3g all using my original SIM card and never changing my data plan. These phones all used 2g service only, T-mobile 3g is not compatible with ATT 3g.

My question is, if I were to purchase the Samsung Captivate at full price, could I still use my original iphone plan? My SIM card says 3g, and I have no doubt it would work on 2g, I just wonder if it would actually use 3g and if so would ATT notice this and switch plans for me? I don't mind paying a few bucks more for data if I have too, I'm just not cool with extending my contract another 2 years, hence I want to pay full price for phone.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Purple Drama Llama:
By purchasing the phone at full price, you won't be forced into a contract. Therefore, your plan will stay the same. The reason you sign a contract with the subsidized phones is because the carrier payes $200-300 of the phone for you. In return, your plan most likely raises in price because AT&T usually does something to jack the price up every year. You will still get 3G and AT&T does not have authorization to change your plan since, you didn't sign a contract with them. So, all will still be the same except for your new phone :D
[General Questions and Answers] PUTALE:
you should be fine. You may just need to change your plan to $15 data and $5 text plan. I am not sure if you have any contract with ATT but their current data plan is 15 data of 2GB max and 5 for texting. So you virtually are not paying more (unelss you have unlimited data plna).

Captive should work with 3G network so my guess is that you may be able to use 3G.

My phone has always randomly had a little glitch. For some reason, once every so often my 3G icon just disappears and stuff like my internet and market dont work. SMS still works fine though. Normally just a reboot fixes the problem but today I had to pull the battery. This happened even when I was fully stock but now I'm running DC 3.2.3 still with the stock kernal. Any similar experiences?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redrazr7791:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
are you running a rom?

...If you are you should try flashing a stock rooted and see if the problem still exists. If it does you may want to try to unroot, go back to stock and update everything. Then you can narrow down if it is rom/software/hardware related
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotdog32836:
Yes i am running stock rom rooted. What do you mean by update everything?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJStephens:
I was also running stock rooted at first. Here is a weird update I just came across though. I've installed (and uninstalled) SwitchPro, which is basically a more customizable widget than the stock power control widget, 3 times now. And every time I add the actual widget to my home screen my 3G instantly disappears.....wtf? I uninstall it and reboot my phone and it's back to normal.

I'm gonna dig in to this a bit after I get back from the gym.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
I just meant that if you unroot the phone, make sure your radio's are updated to stock, update your profile and prl, then you could determine if it is hardware related or maybe you just have a bad signal?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redrazr7791:
I think he means Device Self Service. Updating your PRL, Firmware and Profile.

I forgot to mention that when my 3G becomes "sketchy" this is the 1st thing I do. After that do a soft-reset and pull the battery out.

##RTN# - enter MSL - click menu, reset.

This is the only way I've found to fix this.

It wipes out ALL of your information so make sure you are backed up and synced. It is just like getting the phone new out of the box - it will auto-activate and you should be good to go.

If you don't have your MSL, call Sprint technical support and ask for it.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] medmansri:
I don't think it is worth it, in my opinion. I've actually recently sold mine after using it for about 2 months. It may be good first Android phone, for an average user that doesn't care of the latest and the greatest. I've moved onto a Nexus, then to a iphone(but that's another topic).

MT3G left me with wanting more. ie- bigger screen, faster cpu, better interface(2.2). Nexus was an awesome phone, but I had problems with it. At the moment, Samsung Galaxy S variants are the one I'd pick. One day, I'll have it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] SiL3nTKiLL:
hmm yeah i think immma get the captivate then..dont wanna drop $500 though lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hacker01:
Theres a lot of things to consider:

Price:

How much are you getting it for?

Carrier and Plan:

If you're on AT&T, you won't get AT&T's 3G if you even have a data plan. With that in mind, you'd have to buy it unlocked or use another method to get your AT&T sim card to work on a TMobile deivice.

Needs:

Are you a big texter? I wouldn't recommend this phone if you are a big texter. Swype is a good substitute for a virtual keyboard, but all the other keyboards suck hardcore. As for everything else, I think it does a fairly good job.

Contract: How close are you to the end of your contract? If you're close, I would just get an Iphone 4 or a Captivate or some other AT&T phone.

Overall, like xdame said, it's a good first android phone for the average user. However, after using it, I do have a craving for a more high end device.

I dont use any Google services, no gmail as I rather use myowndomain.com... I want to sync with Outlook via usb (bluetooth, yeah maybe but usb would be better); contacts, calendar and tasks... Is there good sync software out there?

The main reason for me to have a smartphone for a cell phone, is so I dont need always have a laptop with me. This brings me to opening and editing office apps; I found "Documents to Go" that seems to be OK, anyone using it?

To me its also important to automatically sync folders while syncing with Outlook, any good programs for that? Ive been using MobSync with WinMo and I guess it could work with this too? I found also Microsoft SyncToy, never tried it though...

Can I get my tasks listed on Android today screen like on WinMo? I need to have be reminded of my tasks, otherwise I would spend ½ of my day reading at XDA and not doing any of the things Im supposed to do...
