What have I done?

[hrocky]

Hey

A while back (Some time in 2009) I attempted to root my HTC Magic / Sapphire 32B from Cupcake... following this guide: Magic Rooting - Android Wiki (Method 1). I did all the steps right until I finished, no problem, but it didn't actually work ;D, I still had official firmware 1.5. After this I just gave up, since the phone actually worked fine with no problems... After 1.6 came out I tried to update to it via the Settings >> About Phone >> System Updates, it downloaded fine... then it said "Requires a Restart", So I restarted it. Still 1.5. I tried again... 5 times, It didn't work at all... I tried to go to fastboot and flash it to 1.6 which I downloaded from google, didn't work... Again, I just gave up. But I REALLY want the new offical firmwares now, I'm sick of 1.5, is t here anything I can do to reset my phone so I can get to the new firmwares?! I don't mind losing data or anything..

EDIT: Adding some useful info...

Do you have an HTC Magic or MyTouch?

Dude, Vodafone doesn't carry the T-Mobile MyTouch.

That's what I was thinking but the 32B thing was throwing me off. I thought the Magic was a 32A board.

BTW - I just had to rip your sig quote for use on another forum, I hope you don't mind.

It is ......

Not necessarily, from what I can see.

The unpronounceable volcano one? That pissed me off, I was stuck in London for an extra week.

Okay, so it could've been worse... lol

You are supposed to have official firmware after rooting. You need to install a custom rom.

I have tried to install a custom rom through fastboot and it doesn't recognize the Update.zip

Edit: Risregard that...
I tried to install a custom ROM from this: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod#1.5_downgrade_and_FlashRec Under the "Non-TMobile 32B Magics"... When I tried to do the "fastboot boot C:\recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img" It just says "Waiting for device" and doesn't do anything... (Yes I have it connected and in fastboot...)

Follow the method listed in theunlock.com.

You have the path wrong in the command line. Change directory to the location of the recovery image

cd c:/documents and setting/simon/desktop/android-sdk-windows/tools

then type JUST "fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img". It's trying to find a file named "C:/recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img" the way you've entered it.

Hope that sorts the situation out.

That is where I put the file, on the root of my C:\ drive... also, I tried moving it to my tools folder and tried that, it couldn't locate the file...

Edit: Misspelled the recovery-ra thingy -.-...

Same problem; I get <waiting for device>

Trying this after I get from work... Cheers. How To: Root the HTC MyTouch 3G | The Unlockr

If it's waiting for device, you might not have the right drivers installed.

What does it say when you type "adb devices"

It should say something like

SH01YPB3****       device

Huh?

 

[ayush20m]

Huh?

your sdk might not work because you have saved in a folder with spaces.

 

[shawn1224]

Huh?

It looks like you don't have your drivers installed because adb is not recognizing your device.

Where can I get drivers?

usb_driver.rar

 

[hrocky]

usb_driver.rar

Thanks, going to try this now!

Did you run SDK setup

Try to install the USB driver package from there, make sure to check mark "force https" under settings
