Unhappy Semi bricked HTC Magic (Proximus) HELP NEEDED

Hi everybody,

Call me stupid if you like but....

I have a HTC Magic from Belgian telecomservice Proximus.

Some days ago I did the following.

- deleted all files from SD-card
- wrote down following:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP 10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Apr 20 2009, 15:30:43
- ran the RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_ NoDriver.exe
- RUU said: cannot find customer-ID

On this point my mobile was stuck on the RUU / USB screen

- I ran RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.04.401.2_HTC_AT_test_sig ned_NoDriver
- RUU said: cannot find customer-ID

now my mobile says:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.76.0009 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.08.29
Dec 8 2009, 17:38:48

Now I think (I'm a noob) my mobile is semi-bricked.
I tried to make a Goldcard, but couldnt because I cannot run adb.
I can run fastboot from AndroidSDK/tools

adb doesnt find devices.. fastboot finds my device.

Anyone who can help me? I would be really thankfull.

Ouch ouch, looks like its more than semi bricked for now. Since it updated your spl to a perfected one there isn't hacked yet. I'm afraid that the only thing there might save this phone is running another RUU your mobile will accept. You have to find one which got 1.76.0009 or higher cause the S=ON now

If this wont work the only hope will be a spl hack will be released and will be done through fastboot.

But most of all it sounds like the best thing there could happen is that your warranty is still valid and they will replace it for you.

Anyway, don't take my words as 100% cause i'm no expert on this matter!!!

If you dare to try to flash another spl/radio through fastboot look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239
BUT, as your new spl is perfected it will most probably not work and ruin the possibility to use fastboot.

Maybe and just maybe, it will be easier to get a replacement if it's fully bricked and it's impossible to get into fastboot and recovery.

Thanks already for the fast answer.
Let me try your suggestions first.

Warranty will not be provided I assume.

Try to wait a little while, like i wrote i'm not an expert on this matter.
Maybe if you're lucky someone will drop by with a solution for it. But to be honest, i wouldn't keep my hopes up

And sorry didn't follow the thread, don't have any links for RUU cause i'm not really sure which you should use.
But if Belgium got the update which include HTC sense, i guess that would be the right one.

Got the exact same issue.
Tried the goldcard with the sandisk 2GB, but with an usb adapter. (I read the card should work)
I could do everything in the goldcard tutorial but when inserting the goldcard in the phone nothing happens at boot or when pressing the recovery keys at boot.
It jumps right away to versions screen.
The strange thing is though. Once I inserted the sd card in the phone, I can no longer use it on the PC (please insert media). Which I could do before.
When inserting the sdcard on another magic phone, it's working fine.

Going to get a Kingstong 2GB with sdcard adapter in the mean time and try it in the pc's card reader.

(HTC Magic 32A)
It really sucks Proximus sells android phones you cannot update. What's the use to have open source software then?

I also wander why the RUU update went wrong, once you root the phone is should work no ?

radjagios, can you confirm the goldcard is working for this?
You have any useful info like sappimg version you have put on it?
