Help May Have BRICKED!!!! - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Okay I do not know why I did this retarded thing, but I went to load a rom on my MT3G. I rooted it with the one click method. I loaded the rom, and then for some reason I hit format card.... Im still in the recovery screen, but dont know what to do?? PLEASE HELP

You are not bricked, find a card reader, insert sdcard, load a rom onto the root folder of your sd, put sd card back into phone, flash rom, wait 10 to 15 minutes for the phone to boot while biting your nails, breathe a sigh of relief when it does finally load, sit back and enjoy your rooted phone, then come to xda and learn how android works

Killed my HTC Magic

Hey guys, got a huge problem, I rooted my HTC Magic, it was working and all, but now (I'm using Fatality HERO) it doesn't startup, it gets stuck on the HERO screen. Even worse is my phone turned itself off after saying SD Card corrupted.... and now when I cm recovery, it doesn't recongise the damn SD card, I've tried the reset thing by holding home and back, I'm totally lost. HELP!

32a or 32b?
32B, although I seemed to have fixed it. I dug out the original 2GB MicroSD, put another Fatality ROM on it, and reflashed the ROM on, works now I'm wondering what to do with my 8GB mSD card though. Should I pop it back into my HTC a reformat it? Or will it kill the phone again?

I just use this thing.
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/
Or the built in one in the RAv1.2.1 recovery rom.
Haha fixed that too Lolz!
ok so rather than realize that the sd card was the problem, you rebooted and wiped your phone. the first step you should have taken was to reformat the sd card. when you use the sd card to run apps there is a higher chance of corruption.
Nah, it said the SD was corrupt, wouldn't let me format, then my phone ran out of battery, which was Then my problem started because obv. it doesn't mount the SD card, and my backup image is on there. When I booted up, it got stuck on the HERO screen... blah blah..... Well, it's working now, although, now with a formatted SD, I don't have a backup of my original ROM, which is lame. I was lucky to have a spare SD, or I would have been done for!
MOD EDIT
Thread moved to general discussion as not rom related
The Fatal1ty ROM has a problem with SD cards, every time you mount via USB and then unmount, it tells you the card has corrupted. After you reboot your phone it comes back though. I would use one of the other Hero ROMs instead.
ur ans

Stuck on boot logo (green mytouch logo)

Okay so I just got the phone today and though I knew how to root it and whatnot. So, I followed this guide: http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-root-the-mytouch-3g-or-g1-in-one-click/. Everything was working fine until I tried to install this theme (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493434) as update.zip.
Now I am stuck at the green "MyTouch" boot logo and cannot start my phone. I would like to get this fixed asap but I don't know how. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome. Thanks guys.
to me it sounds like bad flash/download
the only thing i'd suggest is wipe, then reflash the rom
then redownload the theme
then reflash it(no wipe)
and it should work
oh and sometimes themes first load up take time give it 15 minutes tops
if it doesn't work
then do as i said
I tried factory wipe like 10 times and I'm still stuck at the boot logo. I don't really care if I have root anymore, so what can I do to just get my phone back to normal? Meaning, how can I just get my phone to start up? What file would I need to flash to get it back to normal? (Can you try and be specific as I am still learning)
Also, I can't add anything to the SD card cause my phone won't fully start up, so I guess I'll have to buy a SD reader tomorrow?
Hmmm what if I flashed the nibh file using fastboot (the file meant for unrooting the phone). Anyone think that'd work?
Someone please help...I'm totally freaking out and it's so discouraging just having bought this phone and now I can't use it

you need a fresh install of cyan 4.0.4 then try to flash the theme\
wipe,, flash cm-4.0.4 let is bootup then flash the theme ... Don't do what some idots do ,, flash then wipe ,, its wipe then flash,,you must let it boot after the fresh install ......
To answer your ? Bout unrooting, yes the dreaimg.nbh meant for downgrading so you can root is also the same file to unroot, just flash it in fastboot or the bootloader and it will take you back to stock.
If you are running cm recovery 1.4, you can mount your sd card in the recovery console
By typing ums_enable to mount and ums_disable to unmount than type reboot or recovery to exit the console

Hmm I'm gonna try this method in a minute, but, one question, how can I type ums_enable/disable on the mytouch while on recovery?
Okay so I fixed it. I simply bought an SD card reader, placed the sappimg.nbh file on my sd card. Booted with Volume Down + Power and then flashed the sappimg.nbh and now my phone has finally started up thanks!

are you wearing marijuana goggles? he is on a mytouch lol. maybe if he draws the letters onscreen it will work, or maybe he can plug a keyboard into the mini usb on the mytouch if he has a usb to mini usb adapter.
i was wearing hangover glasses, just made the assumption that it was a g1 since we are in the dream forum and not the mytouch one, oh by the way hershey was fun, i rode all the big kids ride and i did not cry once
aren't yous all so proud of me
At first I was thinking he flashed the sappimg.nbh to a Dream, lol @ Marijuana goggles.

What SPL and radio are you on?

[Q] Formatted to much on my Wildfire.

Hello,
Here's the deal.
I managed to format pretty much everything with my Wildfire which was kind of stupid. So now it won't start because I don't have android installed anymore. Both the phone system and the SD card is formatted so I no longer have any source from which I can install.
What should I do?

you have recovery?
I can enter recovery. I have ClockworkMod Recovery.
But there I can't to a factory reset as I managed to format it.
Dont you have a stored nandroid backup? what network you on?
I was to eager to move forward with everything so I never created a backup... Stupid mistake really, but that's why I'm trying to fix it.
Right now when I start the phone I only see a white screen and the htc logo in green and then it is like that until I remove the battery.
EDIT: The only solution that I think is possible would be to stick the sd card into a card reader and add a rom so I can flash the phone again in order to get the OS back. Would that be possible?
One word... ****... :S

I can get into clockwork recovery. Problem is I can't access the SD card as I don't have a card reader myself. But I guess that's my only option atm so I'll have to wait until I get a chance to try it out.
Cant you mount the sdcard from the advanced options in clockwork recovery and dump the rom onto it?

This should work, i always use this option to put files on SD
Goto partitions menu in recovery then goto mount usb storage and put the rom on and flash it

copy any rom to your microSD with a card reader and boot recovery!
Yes it's working. Thanks for all the help.
I have done the same mistake ....but I didn't quite understand what I have to do ...
I download any ROM on my sd card, put it back on my wildfire and then reboot recovery?? it that it?
Read through this thread, and if your still stuck, i will help you sort it out.
ROM fixed, touchscreen failed
I succeded with a new rom so I was very happy that I could pass the white screen with the htc logo on it. But then another problem came up. f***** frustrating. My touch screen does not respond. I tried rebooting. takind the battery off. Nothing!!! I have not dammaged the touch screen in any way ....like drop it or something like that . it just didn't respond.
Is there any possibility to fix it myself?
Try reinstalling the rom, if that does not work, try another rom. Let us know how it goes.
I've tried both options and the touchscreen is still not working. I can't understand how it stop workin...

My phone won't read SD card!

I rcently was on cm7 and then decided to go back to stock the only thing was odin 1.3 and 1.7 keot gettung stuck, my sister accidentally clicked repartition and i unplugged it before it got any further. i did the going back to stock process like 5 times and kept getting stuck. I waited an hour then tried again and now it worked , i installed cm7 and my sd card or any other one i put in the doesnt read it, it doesnt even say sd card inserted?
thoughts?
Did you try looking in /emmc ? It doesn't read the micro sd in the usual format on CM7.
I think you have to odin again, then flash a rom like trigger then flash cm7
ty so much JMC! u solved my prob its in emmc...thanks is on the way

Possibly bricked.

Ok.. so.
I had a not-working clockwork mod, and like an idiot I used the rom manager via android to flash a new rom. So - that rom is stuck in its boot up logo over and over (team kang). And isn't moving despite waiting 10 minutes, and my clockwork mod is non functional. I can see the options in CMW but if I click one of them - I dont get the options to chose a zip/it does reboot. It simply gives me the hat with the refresh logo and no options. So CWM is not functional.
Fastboot boots, but recovery sends me to non functional CWM.
S = off, and the phone is/was rooted.
Any advise?
I hope someone is awake... lol
Try to use adb/fastboot to flash 4ext recovery. Or a new cwm recovery. You really need a functioning recovery.

Just sayin.. 4ext is a better recovery. However, if you prefer cwm, that is up to you. But if you can use adb to flash recovery, please do it, then from hboot go into recovery and flash a known working Rom...
Sent from my HTC GLACIER using xda premium
So your saying volume down while power on, boot up adb on the computer/fastboot on the phone and I can somehow push a 4ext to the phone? I'll give it a try but I'm lost at the moment.
Closest I came up with was downloading the stock rom/putting it on SD card and loading it up that way.
I'll go back to DEV and check into how to flash it, but I was under the impression you had to have a working rom.
...are you making selections in recovery using the trackpad?
There is no trackpad? Volume up and down.
I just flashed 2 versions of CWM and finally got options with the touch version - then of course I lost MY sd card somewhere? Which is such a joy because I'll never find it. So I am now going to load up a rom on the SD card then install it.
Ok, got the rom installed, for my personal SD card - the other phone is booting up now, if it doesn't work atleast I can mount the SD card through CMW and such. TY original poster, I didn't actually realize you could flash files directly from the computer to the phone.
This all started when I rooted this phone because it was having battery issues/wasn't running right, then it needed to update but wouldn't because CWM was installed - so I tried to put a different rom on it but that didn't work.
YES!!!! It has booted into android just now. Score.
TY posters.

no trackpad? do you have the Mytouch 4G?
the trackpad is the square like button in the bottom middle of the phone...
well anyway, i'm glad you figured it out and got it working.

Cmon...not even a clik on the thanks button? Those are like battle scars! I'm just kidding..glad it worked out for you. It hurts me to hear about a bricked mt4g. They are a dying breed...
Sent from my HTC GLACIER using xda premium
I actually didn't know there was a like button as this was one of my first posts really. But if you want an update, I flashed it through ADB and got a working bootloader then loaded ICS which completely didn't work.
This phone is for my mom's so I reflashed it to that Virtuous Unity rom/shes now complaining of some battery drain. I didn't install setcpu because they have something else running I saw? But maybe it needs to be setup? Either way I'll just install setcpu next time I see her.
Oh, as for the trackpad... *cough*. I've held the phones many times (hundreds), but never actually realized there was a trackpad on it. My mom used it in front of me shortly after I fixed her phone..
Getting more than a day out of a Sense 4 rom with decent use. Releasing this to the public in a couple days as INDIAN MADNESS, give it a shot
