Hey everyone,
i was trying to root my HTC Magic, following this guide:
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting
i installed RAv1.2.0 : Modded ION recovery! (the H version)
used fastboot
fastboot boot recovery-new.img
then i told it to update from the update.zip that i put on the microSD card.
it said it finished loading the firmware, i did a reset, and now the phone wont load
its just stuck in the "HTC Magic" message that it does when loading, and dosnt get out of it.
I tried doing a battery pull, dosnt solve it.
i can still get into fastboot mode.
Can anyone tell me what i did wrong and how to recover my phone?
thanks.
BTW, my phone is rev 32A
OK, i fixed my issue,
connected my microSD to another phone, put the version
[Updated 7/22] [ROM] RAv1.1.0 (HTC branded Magics)
Can anyone tell me whats the most recommended version?
maybe something with multitouch?
I liked the original one as well
but i needed root to install the hebrew fonts

My phone is stuck on HTC SMART MOBILITY black screen, the one that appears right away when u turn ur phone on. I was trying to upgrade the new rom and it said everythin was finished and it restarted the phone by itself then it got stuck in this screen. The thing is that the USB it is not recognize either by the computer or phone so i cannot do anything with the computer in order to boot up. I tried hard resets and nothin. Any help or ideas welcome... thanks
have you tried using bootloader mode? if I'm not mistaken, you need to hold the Power and Camera buttons while resetting the phone. you could then try to flash a new ROM on the phone. hope it helps!
miguel is correct. Put it into bootloader mode like he said, then flash a ROM back onto it and you should be good to go. This happened to me last night and I freaked out a little bit, but everything was fine after I did this.
Help, I'm stuck too. My phone is now in a loop of the black HTC smart mobility screen. I entered bootloader menu and reflashed the 2.17 ROM. -Which completed to 100% and no luck. I've tried this twice. I've entered the bootloader and tried to flash the stock ROM. It finished, but has no radio? What shold I do, Please help!!!
I must also mention that I was in the middle of relocking the phone after I installed the leaked ROM when my computer got the BSOD.
Format a sd card to fat32, place the image on the sd card, name it TITAIMG.nbh and reset to BL it will auto flash the rom and works when this happens

By "Image" do you mean the rom .exe file?

not exactly, the .exe file is simple an auto extracting archive, if you extract it, you will get a bunch of files, one which is about 40-60MB in size and that ends in a .nbh extension, that's the one you need.
You guys are awesome. It worked Thank you!
So why does everyone mess around with "relocking" the device and then flashing the 2.17 ROM after trying the 3.16 version when all you have to do is flash is with an sd card? It's SO easy!!!! Thanks again!

What radio are you using? Did flashing from the SD downgrade the radio as well?

I'm pretty sure that it did. When I tried to downgrade to 2.17, the flash worked, but there was no Radio at all. So I tried to reflash the 3.16 and it flashed but didn't work (endless boot to the HTC Screen over and over)
So I tried the SD card method or flashing back to the 2.17 and it worked absolutely perfectly. The only issue was that there was no MSID or MDN but I wrote those down.
Same problem, but turns off

turn on your device, remove and replace the batteries then go to boot loader mode ( hold the Power and Camera buttons ) you immediately install the rom upgradeshttp !!! You can download it at ://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=10&cat=0&dl_id=609 good luck

I don't know what had happened to my magic, but when i try to turn on it, it will not boot properly and stay at the HTC logo startup....
I know I able to factory reset the MAGIC, but that it will be very painful to me as those data will be wiped off...
Can any expert give me help? Is there anyway to solve this problem without losing all my data inside the magic??
are you on a custom ROM?
I am sure everyone will need a lot more info to help you.
so here is a basic list
1. Type (32A/32B)
2. Current ROM
3. Did you flash anything before it became that way? (SPL/RADIO/ROM/Theme)
connect your phone via usb (no need to mount) start the adb app with cmd and type 'adb logcat' you can see whats going on see if your getting errors
i flashed a rom and it took about 8 min to get to the home screen
I have a sapphire (32B)
With a Rav 1.???g recovery.
I tried updating my SPL but my phone didn't reboot after flashing now I get nothing. Did I brick my phone?
technubi : i think you did. But i could be wrong (i hope i am)
Hello there,
I got my HTC Magic (from belgian operator "Proximus") stuck on the first boot sceen. I can no longer acces the fastboot nor recovery.
The only thing i can do is put the phone in radio bootloader (screen off + blue led).
I have searched the forums alot and some have reported being able to send fastboot comands in this state but i did not manage so as the fastboot shell waits for the phone...
Here is what i got installed / did:
- rooted
- cyanogen mod 4.1.3
** t this point the phone was working great and used several months. then i tryed the following: **
- recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img (worked, wiped the memory and installed the following from here)
- signed-google-ion-ota-14721 (installation worked, auoupdate the radio, reboots and...just the logo) I intended to then go to cyanogen 4.1.9
Any idea what went wrong and even better, if i can make the phone boot again ?
Thanks in advance for your help !
What probably went wrong is that you installed a 32B Radio (the ion's) on a 32A device.
Now if you can't get into fastboot, hboot or recovery then there isn't anything you can do, unfortunately
Try to get the device replaced if it's still under warranty.

I'm pretty sure your phone is finished but you didn't happen to mention what you were doing in the first place? Were you just updating your ROM or flashing a new Radio?
Hum, i fear it has become a very expensive white brick indeed.
I confirm it was a 32A...and i tryed to flash an ion rom wich is 32B.. gasp !
My bad... sould have waited to have my head clear before doing this :/
i'll try to see if i can get the unit replaced/fixed by official means..but idoubt it
Anyone interrested by replacement parts ?
Oh, and what is the radio bootloader mode for (action+power => blue led)...?
Several qustions as i am deseperately trying to revive my Magic:
- Is there anyway to make the phone pick up a special boot on the sdcard Without accessing recovery/fastboot ? If so what file do i need on the sdcard (sappimg ?)
- What is the radio bootloader mode for ???
Try to connect your phone to your computer using USB. Start it in different ways, and see if fastboot or adb finds your phone. As you said you can start it in radio bootloader, try boot in that too, to see if fastboot or adb finds your phone.
If it does, post your radio and hboot, maybe I can help.
Did try all possible boot method, but the phone never registers on the usb with fastboot or adb. It just keeps showing me the operator splashpage.
The last thing i installed on the phone was the "signed-google-ion-ota-14721" (now i see this was for 32B...didn't pay attention enough that day). This overrode the radio with another one included in the zip.
The installation went quite smoothly but when the phone rebooted, it froze on that logo screen...
well i'm here in the same situation...
there must be something to do...
cmon where is the nerd within you, solve this and get a ****load of respect from me
this might be in the wrong section not sure.....
Ok i dont think my phone is bricked because i can a use it... i just cant boot into recovery. when i try to it just hangs on the mytouch 3g splash screen... (The one that you get when you first boot your phone)
It all started when i installed ROM manager and installed the recovery image they want you to use... but when it wouldnt let me boot into recovery i used rom manger to flash back recovery-1.6.2 and i still cant boot back... Please help...
Thanks in Advance

never mind i got it to work
My friend asked me to try recovering his T-mobile DE Hero, it was bricked while my friend was trying to root it
I tried to flash official rom, but RUU gets error 170...
This what appears on screen when device is on:
error 170... thats the usb connection error right?
this could be because the drivers are not installed properly.
read this thread, then try again
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647353
Although error 170 is indeed USB error, (with windows 7 normally) the nasty looking Icon at the bottom of the screen does not look good, never seen that before
Let us know how you get on please
I had the same error with mine.
I ended up in installing a custom ROM, since NOTHING would work. No drivers no nothing. It just refused to read the phone.
I installed VillainROM 12, it has OS 2.1 so it's working perfectly
I had the same problem, but I was trying to flash my German G2 using an HTC Official RUU. I've been able to flash the recovery rom using fastboot and then boot it, but that's where my progress has ended. I'm about to flash VillainROM12.0.0-Full and see what happens. I'll let you know.
EDIT: VillainROM12 installed via AmonRa Recovery menu, but rebooting takes me right back to the RUU screen with an Xed-out EPROM
Nothing helped
I tried everything You said, but device is showing same screen, I also tried using SD card method but when I turn Hero on (while holding Vol-) same screen appears
Does anyone have any other idea what to do?
Its looking like a problem with a radio (drivers etc). Try to update it through recovery if u can enter there.
You can see in my first post the only screen where I can enter...
Well.. This icon with a "chip" probably say a SPL or Radio of phone is just f***ed up.. :/ You can enter to fastboot so drivers of graphics and other modules are in good condition..
wheeeler i think u should find a .zip with a official SPL and radio and update it through recovery like u did it with Villain ROM
I got some idea but I think u tried it before.
iwanrakic U can connect to phone via SDK?
Try this command. It should update it.
C:\sdk\tools>fastboot flash radio radio.img
Of course u need image of official radio.
What driver does Windows report installed when you plug it into your PC in that mode?
