so i had reset my phone and i had installed the Registry Wizard and such. i turn the phone on and the cingular splash screen comes up and says 2.25 and all that good stuff. then it goes to a white screen. the status lights blink and the screen is responsive as well as the buttons. but all i see is white screen. if i call the phone, the white screen comes up with no sound. ive tried to reset it many times as well, battry out and all that too.
any ideas?
i used an MDA reset thingy i found on this site. it worked. got it to 4 colors and flashing it now. what a pain in the ass.

Which method was successful for you. I have tried virtually everything I have found on this board and still nothing but a white screen. Please help.
Thanks.
I installed the Registry Wizard tonight and the exact same thing happened to me.
When I connect the phone to my PC, it's not recognized so I can't delete the program that way.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

ok heres what iv done about a month ago i was at my friends house
and decided to conect to the wireless network shortly after loading the home page the wireless disconected. i was unable to turn wireless on after that and since then my systems just litteraly shut-down 1 by one i lost abilitie to send sms. then i lost abilitie to even answer phonecalls id click answer and it would disconect straight away. and then this morning i turned it on and it just goes to instant white screen i cant even load bootloader it only shows a whitescreen no matter what i do. i cant think of anything else to try iv had a look on the forums and everyone just says to load the bootloader by pressing camera button and power button but it still goes to whitescreen the led at the top of the phone flashes red then about 2 seconds later goes to whitescreen my computer doesnt even pick it up now either is the phone just "dead" or can it be recovered?
alright heres an update to my atom so far iv managed to get rid of the whitescreen but cant for the life of me get past this new screen its just rainbow lines it looks as though all the lines on the screen going top to bottom have been coloured a diferent color
anyone know how to fix it? iv tried camera plus reset button and same thing

so after getting my blue led light after i did a bad flash of a mod update zip when i didnt have a rom flashed first...i was told to replace my trackball instead i ...
opened my htc magic and removed my trackball and disconnected the ribon to it let it sit for 30 seconds then put it back together i guess it resets hardware but it worked like a charm

I can't understant why doing that the device has unbricked, I probably must do the same.
anyone else tried?
is this really working???
can anyone other than the OP confirm this works? what showed up on the screen when it was bricked? Did it have the 'arrow coming out of the box' symbol, when the phone was switched on?
i did nt get big arrow or anything my phone wouldnt boot period all i kept getting was a blue light no fastboot or adb would work until i did this the only reason i tried it was because someone mentioned to me to replace the track ball i dont know why but it worked
Did you happen to remove the little battery when you did this?
no i only disconnected the cable leading to track ball the if u look where the track ball is you can pry and pop out the track ball i did it just to look around in there ...i am not a tech but i do have a basic understanding of somethings and i think for some reason in my situation it may have reset something i really dont know but my phone was a brick for half a day with me trying to use google as my friend typing away at fastboot and adb commands only to get nothing ..but when one person told me i may need a new track ball i just decided to look inside on how that a bad flash would effect the track ball but i did what i did and i am back using my phone but i did notice one thing today i had put my phone in fastboot and the normally when it loads those command or whatever about loading img. ...its now saying no image
Thanks, I will try this. Unfortunately I gave away my battery and cable... I still have doubts about this helping me, as I flashed the wrong radio. Where as you just flashed a bad update.
did u use a 32b radio

hi,
quick question. my friend rooted the phone and then flashed hardSPL but i think it was the wrong one. the last thing we saw was a box with a arrow on it and the phone has been dead ever since.
was this the same for you ? we would love to be able to unbrick his phone.
brick
hi,
i have a 32b magic, and since yesterday it just doesn't startup anymore.
i just get a black screen, with backlight on. (also no adb/fb/recovery)
if i hold trackball while power on, i get the blue led
i've searched, but haven't found any similar problem, cause i don't get that box with an arrow.
to unbrick this, you just disconnected the trackball?
pls be more specific
HEEEELLPPP!

Sounds like you erased or flashed an invalid SPL (usually people brick into boot mode 3 where the radio + SPL works but is forcing the boot of a broken recovery image) Thus the user becomes stuck at the splash screen.
Regardless if blue light mode woks and nothing else will boot [and you are not stuck in blue light mode]:
the only option at this point in time is using JTAG to force an engineering SPL to load.. then use that to fix the rest of the phone.

The OP likely had a stuck trackball.
Holding the trackball when you power on puts you in the blue-led mode and doesn't let you do anything else. Being in blue-led mode doesn't mean you are bricked, it's just a mode in which the phone can start up. If the op's trackball got "stuck", it would explain his problem. Replacing the faulty trackball likely is what solved his problem.
It would be nice if the OP could update the first entry to reflect as much.
If your phone isn't voluntarily going into blue-led mode on it's own, this "fix" likely won't do anything for you. You still have a brick... like me

hi terry ...
quick question.
the jtag de-bricking that everyone is mentioning is said to work with g1/dream/g2 ... is this also possible with the magic(sapphire) 32A ?
like i said my friend bricked his loading hardSPL and the phone is charging and i can get into the blue led mode no problem.
if it is possible would the pinouts be the same or similar for the magic? i am quite keen to give it a bash if i can be pointed in the right direction.
thanx in advance.
Thank for you response
but i didn't flash any new spl or something else.
i had my phone working fine with spl/radio/rom.
but then i shut down, and after that i couldn't power up
i reboot my working magic with froyo and then is dead.
its keeps rebooting and no fastboot or recovery mode only if i press trackball and on the phone i got blue led, any solutions ???
Regards Sn00py
But what exactly was the problem, when you turned it on it automatically turned the blue led or did that happen when you pressed the trackball+power? im going to try to debrick my magic now but must it be on with the blue led or off?

Who are you asking, the OP? They just had a stuck trackball, so they couldn't boot normally.
It doesn't matter, just continue.
What happened to the phone? Its like a red filter paper placed on the screen, need help on solving it thanks

Is it red on the boot screen, if not try the usual reset, otherwise send it for repair
Hey guys, ive got a little problem, a few weeks ago my phone got some water in it, i turned it off right away.
Today i wanted to see if its working so i tried to turn it on, nothing happens, if i connect it to a charger then the led turns on (red) and the screen starts flashing colors, its like changing colors from green to blue to red to white every 1 second.
I can get into DFU mode.
Can someone guide me on how to unbrick it? (if its even possible)
Thanks a lot!
Hi. Did you get a method to repair your phone? I have the same model with the same symptoms. I can't find any answers online. Thank you.
