From described above, I think what you did would not damage the SPL, which loads the fastboot...
Maybe there's a hardware problem
Anyway, try fastboot again! (long press back and then power)
and there seems to be a way to save your phone through ddms (please google it. it is mentioned in one of the threads(

volume Down + power , Home + Power , Back + power.
i press this keys to power up.
it just have a vibrate and the HTC Magic screen then stop........
i wait about 30 min nothing happen.
i need to pull the battery out to stop it.
can't use DDMS cos My windowXP can't see USB device when i connect magic to window.
i don't know how to do.
thankyou for your reply.

if SPL not being flashed (no damage), then u should able to enter "fastboot"

i don't know what i done.
just can't hboot and fastboot now.

You have to hold both buttons (POWER + BACK for fastboot) until the flash screen shows up.

may be i need pick Magic back to repair center.
but i still want to repair by my hand.
thank's for any reply.!!!

This is a long shot, but I had something similar happen to me when I upgraded my SPL. Try renaming the latest spl as update.zip and putting it on your SD card.

What should one do if flashing a new SPL doesn't work?

Exactly the same problem.
I have returned the phone to 3. they gave me a new one.
my problem occurred after I flash a SPL into the phone.
so, must be the SPL making the problem.
Maybe you have to send it to repair.

****ed
When i brought my phone the 17 of jun i had the phone 5 days not rooted and it done the thing yours is saying i took it back to the shop and they gave me a new 1
i think some phones have a fault but try taking it back
btw i want to flash my new 1 but i dont want to **** it up can anybody point me the right way or come on msn and talk me throw it hope some1 can if so send me a pm thanks flyover

My Magic's bootloader is
PVT 32 A, CPLD-12, Boot with Hami
Hboot 1.33.0009
After I flash the hboot with this post then reboot,Same thing happend。
But I Figured Out Somehow,You can still enter the fastboot mode,but not with the original view。
The fastboot Mode shows A Red line words "fastboot usb" at the upper-left corner,and the logo still Hami。
What I did is Volume Down+Power,Then Try to press Other Bottom ( I Don't know Which Bottom Exactly.)。
Sorry For My Poor English。

Mine is also bricked. Same story, I flashed the spl and it just rebooted to the htc screen and will not recover from it. I get no sort of red flashboot menu. It's completely unresponsive on all levels. Such a shame, I'm worried about this being a design fault with the magic. Perhaps there's a line of models with this problem. I can still choose a different phone altogether if I bring it back.
I REALLY like the look and feel of this phone... but I don't want to brick a second one.

I got a second one from "3". I would recommend u not to touch the spl again.

Sad as it may be to brick a phone, I don't see failure as a reason for giving up. I haven't successfully modded my phone yet, and that bothers me. I'll do it, and I'll succeed. If not, I'll go back there and replace it again
I WILL do it right.
Anyway, enough of the power speech.

Maybe a solution
Hi
I had my phone end up in a state in which it would immedialtely show a black screen with HTC logo and do nothing else - even when just inserting the battery. The whole thing seemed pretty stuck
But then I found out that holding "back" and "power" down before and while inserting the battery did the trick - then the phone booted into the fastboot mode and I could start revovering it using some appropriate recovery image and an update.zip that I had placed on the SD card in advance.
This has helped me a couple of times since then
Seems to me that as long as you have not messed up the SPL, there are ways of recovering.
Hope this might help.

well, I don't have a chance to test your method.
can anyone, whose phone is bricked, try !!holding "back" and "power" down before and while inserting the battery!!

fastboot remote: not allow, this is what it tells me when i try to restore a recovery image from fastboot. my phone is dead, i don't know what happened, i tried to restore the original firmware, as i was using hero rom, after reboot it was stuck on vodafone logo. now it does;t start at all, only in fastboot, connected on usb cable. is it bricked? what should i do to use the warranty and not have any problems? thanks!ps:. i have 1.33.0.0.10 spl
Can you get into the Recovery Image at all? Home and Back I think.

mytouch stuck on splash mytouch image - cannot fastboot/recovery-boot

Hi,
i have tried to change the SPL on my Tmobile mytouch (i uploaded Engineering SPL 1.33.2010). After rebooting the phone... i am stuck on the green boot splash screen. I cannot do fastboot or recovery-boot.
I have RA-sapphire-v1.5.2 recovery image.
i did read somewhere about the "blue led trick" where u get a blue led if u press the track ball.
tried to "Hold Vol down + Power + track ball together and put batter to start phone" while trying to update the SAPPIMG.nbh -- did not work. (all i get is a flashing red led).
i cannot see the device on adb of fastboot.
any idea if i can recover the phone?
maybe you flashed over the wrong spl?
if you can't get into recovery or fastboot, you're bricked
try removing your battery, hooking up your usb to your computer and hold back, once you did that then put in your battery and see if you can't fastboot it.
when i do that .. all i get is a solid Orange led.... nothing on the screen.
try holding power as well as holding back before you insert the battery?
if i hold both BACK+POWER while inserting the battery, i get the green splash screen and it gets stuck in there.
Sounds like you're bricked...
I cant boot into recovery holding power and home I also get stuck at splash screen also. But fastboot works for me and I can see devices , if i manually type fastboot boot recovery.img it says ok but gets stuck at spalsh screen am I also bricked.
Tried with the goldcard and the sappimg file?
you flashed a spl that is for a 32A phone.. not a mytouch (32B) ... read before you go flashing ****...
go to www.theunlockr.com and read there how-to's section if you want to do something like this again, correctly..
now.. to fix your problem..
go into fastboot and tell us what you are running for radio..
if you are running 2.22.19.261 for radio then you can do this, and should hopefully fix your issue.
download danger spl from HERE
extract the zip and move the hboot.img to the tools directory of your androidsdk folder... (just makes it easier to find)
boot into fastboot...
then from terminal (or a command prompt if your running windows) run:
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
reboot and hopefully enjoy..
if you did NOT save hboot.img to your tools folder you will have to specify where it is when you do the fasboot flash command
ie
Code:
fastboot flash hboot /dir/to/hboot.img
maybe try holding the call button, menu and end call button.. thats the way to reset your phone at any point

Unbricking mytouch/g1 ( soft bricks only but no harm trying )

I found a site with someone who bricked their phone but found a loop hole. I have never bricked my phone and hoping i never will but for those who have bricked their phone here are some steps to try to unbrick it! HOPE IT HELPS! SEND FEED BACK!!
So you can’t access bootloader or recovery and the only thing that works is the blue led trick when pressing trackball + power button??
Try the procedure below.
Step 1: Turned Phone off by taking out the battery.
Step 2: Prepared SD card
Put SD card in card reader and formatted it as FAT32, copied the DREAIMG.nbh onto it.
Or try Sapphimg.nbh
Step 3: Put SD card back in phone
Step 4: Hold Vol down + Power + track ball together and put battery to start phone
Step 5: Run update
IF THAT DIDNT WORK!
TRY THIS!
Step 1: Turning Off Your Phone
Because you have a bricked phone, you can't just hold the power button. So if your phone is not already off then you're going to want to take out the battery.
Step 2: Preparing Our SD card
Take out your SD card and put it into an SD card reader or some type of other adapter so that we can view it from our computer. If you cannot view the SD card on your computer then you're going to need a new SD card.
Download DREAIMG-RC29.zip and unzip the file.
Reformat the SD card to FAT32 and copy the DREAIMG.nbh onto it.
Safely eject the SD card.
Put the SD card into your device.
Step 3: Wipe The Phone
Hold home and press the power button.
When you see the image of an ! mark, open your keyboard and press Alt + L if you cannot see any command options.
Do a factory reset by pressing Alt + W or just using the trackball.
When the reset is done, go ahead and hold the camera button and select the reboot system now option with your trackball.
Step 4: Flashing The Phone
Once the grey screen pops up (or the white screen if your phone was rooted with JesusFreke) it will ask you to hit a button to start installing the image…press that button. DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO STOP THIS PROCCESS. It will take about 8-12 minutes.
When the image has completed the installation (it will say completed), go ahead and press the green, red, and menu buttons at the same time. The phone will reboot.
And your done! Your phone is now unbricked!.
The G1 screen will hang there for a good minute or two, but be paticiant, it will boot. Now you have a choice. Try to hack your phone again, because you're in the correct state to have another go, or, you can stick with the official Android. Now if you choose to stick with the official Android, here's what you do.
Step 1: Upgrading to Android 1.0 RC33
Download the file signed-PLAT-RC33-from-RC30.zip
Rename the file to update.zip and copy it to your SD card
Reboot your phone into recovery mode. Power off the phone first and then hold down the Home key while powering it back on.
The recovery mode is finished loading when you see the ! mark inside the triangle. Press Alt + L to display the list of options.
Press Alt + S to flash the file update.zip.
Wait for the update to apply. Your phone may reboot during this process so be patient.
Press Home + Back if prompted to reboot your phone.
Step 2: Upgrading to Android 1.5 CRB43
Download the file signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca.zip
Repeat the steps from above to flash the update file.
Step 3: Upgrade to Android 1.5 CRC1
Download the file signed-kila-CRC1-from-CRB43-FIX.7ca4a1d7.zip
Repeat the steps from above to flash the update file.
Step 4: Upgrade to Android 1.6 DRC83
Download the file signed-kila-DRC83-from-CRC1.c41b93c1.zip
Repeat the steps from above to flash the update file.

run fastboot boot recovery-image.img or whatever you named your recovery image. It'll display "waiting for device..." message just keep pluging it in, unplugging, popping the battery and eventually your device will respond and boot into recovery.
Someone bricked and i did it... twice trying to flash the eng 2010 SPL. It worked the third time and my device is up and running again with an engineering SPL.
if your device is stuck on the first splash but displays in red "Fastboot USB" message in the upper left corner of the screen, DO NOT power it down. run the above mentioned command and reflash.
deleted... double post.
Found another hint
ch3w said:
confirmed...
-I Connected USB.
-I inserted the battery.
-I booted the phone while holding the HOME key.
-The phone still froze at the first splash screen, but then suddenly, the waiting fastboot command detected the phone and booted the recovery image!

fastboot boot recovery?
boot.img and recovery.img are two totally different things.
The recovery (amon_ra is preferred)
The boot.img is where the kernel, ramdisk, etc resides.
you must've meant fastboot flash boot boot.img
or
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
but not both.

bricked Mytouch3g
Bricked mytouch3g -- brandnew phone. Just tried to flash cyanogen test3 and everything went fine but then I rebooted and all I have is vodafone boot screen, nothing else works but the blue led which will not load any img. adp doesn't work it never detects a phone no matter what you do. It was the first flash too. Crazy how HTC didn't make a built in hard reset like you have on windows mobile phones. You wonder if they want people to crash there phones so they have to replace them ect etc.
Hello.
My phone has the same problem.
Anything that is needed done. But no no avail.

[Q] Soft-bricked MT4G

I previously thought I had rooted and tried out a some custom ROMs. Decided to revert to a nandroid backup of stock I made before flashing but got errors and the phone hangs on 1st mytouch logo. S is off according to hboot screen, and I am able to get into fastboot and recovery (with CWM 2.5.1.2). I've tried using my nandroid backup and its gives an error: "E:format_root_device: can't find mmc partition "boot"". I've successfully rolled back from a custom ROM to stock before, So I'm not sure what happened. I have also tried having hboot flash PDIMG15 but when it begins it skips a bunch of folders, it gives me an error about E: , it says "FAILED (remote: not allowed)". Does that mean s is on somehow or root is screwed up? At this point I'm afriad I will have to go back to t-mob and buy a new phone . Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Did you go from cm6 to cm7?
Try flashing a cm6 rom, you cant use clockwork 2.5.12 for cm7 roms and you cant use cw3+ for cm6 roms.
Flash cm6 from recovery then update clockrom in rom manager. The boot in recovery and flash cm7

PDIMG15 should be foolproof.
Have you checked the file or your sd card for errors?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I agree that PDIMG should be foolproof. It may be your SD card. Try re-flashing recovery through fastboot, then reformatting your SD card. Then copy the PDIMG again with nothing else on the card and give that a shot. You could also try flashing CWM 3 and see if you can flash a 2.3 ROM.
phone replaced
I tried the sd card format method with a quick format and a normal and still no success. Maybe a bad sdcard. Either way walked into t-mob and naively said my phone doesn't work, got it replaced. (Only had it for 9 days) Since it was still within 14 they swapped it no questions asked really. Thanks for the help either way. I may just have to stick with stock sense for a while and just be content with launcher pro. I've been reading that the front facing camera doesn't work on a lot of custom roms anyway and my wife and I both got MT4gs so I like the video call feature enough to stick with it.
I too had the same problem, what I did was to use the Nandroid backup located here in the MT4G forums. I have that on my sd card and when all failsI revert back thru that nandroid backup. Try that and let me know how it goes.
**edit**
sorry did not read that you had returned it.

If her phone is not rooted and you arent trying to flash custom ROMs then it doesnt sound like s=off is going to help you.
Ive seen this happen as a hardware problem (probably from dropping the phone to much) and also software, somehow the boot file gets corrupt
If you cant get her phone to get passed the first tmobile boot screen i would suggest you try to reset the phone.
1. Turn the MyTouch 4G off. pull the battery and replace it.
2. Press and hold the Volume Down button.
3. Press and hold the Power button for 5 seconds (while holding the volume down button) then release the power. Continue to hold Volume Down.
4. When you see the Android logo appear, you may then release Volume Down.
5. Now use the Volume Up/Down buttons to highlight Factory reset.
6. Press the Power button to select.
She will lose all data stored on the phone (not the sd card, just the phone) however if the phone isnt turning on that data isnt much good anyways...

What do you mean by "wont go anywhere"? When you hold down volume and power you should get a screen with three androids on skateboards on the bottom of the screen. Near the middle of the screen there should be some options
Fastboot
Recovery
Factory Reset
Simlock
System Info
Image CRC
You should be able to use your volume buttons on the side of the phone to scroll up and down through that list. when you have the option you want highlighted (in this case factory reset) you can selected it by pressing the power button.
are you able to do that, or are you stuck somewhere else?
Please help out as well i have same problem but even after trying to factory reset it still goes into hboot screen. Problem is on a spare phone just need help asap. If you can help i can attach gmail or gtalk or something. Please help tho

It sounds like your problem may be different. When you turn your phone on is it automatically going to the hboot screen? Do you have a mt4g? your sig says you have a mt3g slide

what is the problem you are seeing? When you turn your phone on does it go right to hboot? does it boot up? does it freeze up at the first splash screen? does it freeze at boot animation? does it get to the boot animation then reboot?
When the power button is hit it goes right into hboot no options to let me go to home screen. I can access fastboot and hboot but i cannot get past these two at all i know the phone is not rooted. the volume keys are acting up a little bit and not letting me get anywhere. If you can help please PM me it would be greatly appreciated
Your volume keys are stuck (physically or electrically), specifically VolumeDown key, and that's the reason for the misbehavior. In any case, it's almost certainly a HW problem.
Thats what i've been thinking as well and tried seeing whats going on and it doesnt seem that there stuck have to pull some stuff apart in any case do you know how to fix this though and get it to boot?
If you don't have warranty - open the phone and fix/disconnect the volume buttons.
If you have warranty - send it for repairs.
It won't boot when VolDown is pressed, whatever you do.

Need help.

Hi there,
Yesterday i just wanted to reboot my DHD, but Revolution HD 3.6 did not came back.
The screen went automaticly to HBOOT mode.
So after removed the battery for some time and put it back. Pressed power button and Hboot mode came again. Also found that can not navigate through the menu via VOL+/-.
Tried many times with no success. So tried to find some informations on this forum but did not find similar thread to mine problem.
I don't know exactly, but maybe you have issue with VOL - button? mb it is 'stuck'??
I can't see other reason for phone to boot in HBOOT mode... if ROM is broken then it should load normally but then restart/throw error, dunno exactly it's behaviour if ROM is broken.
Power phone off by any method.
Hold vol- and press power.
Does this take you to recovery?
Also, please edit you thread subject to make it more specific. Obviously you're looking for help. "Need help" is hardly going to be useful to others.

Does not. Phone always goes to HBoot. Before I rebooted the phone everything worked perfect.
It happened when I woke up then I took the phone and turned on buzzer by pushing VOL+ button. After that Power button and "reboot". So rule out the possibility a problem with buttons

So if you select Recovery from the HBoot menu it restarts straight back in to HBoot again instead of going to recovery?
If that is the case I'm afraid you might have to select the Factory Reset option.
If that allows the phone to boot ok you should then be able to go back to recovery and restore a the last NAND backup.

The problem is that it is not possible to choice any option from HBoot menu.
Looks like VOL+/- are disabled. One post ago i wrote that HBoot is highlighted and Fastboot is highlighted. So if I click on power it should switch to Fasboot mode but it doesn't. Phone is stuck in Hboot mode.
Do you know if you used jkoljo's Radio S-OFF tool? If so you can flash the 1.32 PD98IMG.zip and start from scratch.
Should I follow with this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054304
No, that is for flashing radios. Find the downgrade thread and download the PD98IMG.zip from there. Is your handset branded?
is not branded and simlock free.
You shouldn't need a goldcard then, just place the downgrade PD98IMG.zip on your SDcard and boot into bootloader.
Got PD98IMG.zip on SD card.
Restart the phone. Phone start loading the file than stuck again on parsing.
nothing happend with PD98IMG.zip.
Any Ideas?
How long has it been stuck?
on this screen for 1 hour and bricked since Thursday
Ok, So the PD98IMG.zip failed. Have you tried the 1.32.405.x RUU~.exe?
Did. no sucess. Error 170
no communication but on command: fastboot devices I have a respond :
HT0A5RXO0924
command: adb devices says nothing
Ok lads,
I see all known methods and tools doesn't work but does anyone have an idea how to kill the informations on screen that the phone been rooted? or kill it totally?
In this cause I'll be able to the risk and send this phone to repair.
Ok, you can attempt to flash each component seperately within fastboot.
Unzip the PD98IMG.zip and move boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, radio.img to your SDK/tools folder.
Now use fastboot to flash these
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
ok. trying
no success, see attachment
