[32B] Cannot flash any ROM

---

Hi,

trying to update a bricked VODAFONE Magic from a friend. Until now it drives me nuts.

Here is the situation:

Sapphire PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
Radio 3.22.20.17

After trying several roms, none of them seems to work. The device stays in the bootlader forever.

I have only one SAPPIMG.zip file from XDA-devs containing 2.53.707.2_sappimg.zip which has a very basic and limited 1.5 rom in it. The phone boots and is usable, but Market is missing. In About Phone, the phone identifies itself as HTC Magic while it is Vodafone branded. Is this normal ?
And what do I need to do to flash it to a more recent ROM ?

I have recovery 1.3.2H and I can use ADB and fastboot.
Flashing cm-recovery-1.4 doesn't work. No recovery mode. 1.3.2H seems the only one to work.

Thanks for helping me out !

have you flashed the engineering SPL?

and radio

First, it is not bricked. Bricked means NOTHING WORKS !
This phone seems to work fine.

Putting A (1.33.2010 - it's engineering BTW) + B (Radio 3.22.20.17 - it is for 32A !) + C (2.53.707.2_sappimg.zip - again, it's for 32A only) + D (recovery 1.3.2H - you quessed it, it's for 32A) = you have 32B succsessfully turned into 32A.

Now you have 2 options:

- Use 32A ROM's
- Revert back to 32B (both, radio and recovery).

For later search the forum or Google. It's easy.

Thanks a lot ! You just saved the day ! Guess I was searching with the wrong keywords. It is back to 32B and 32B radio.
