Hi!
I ve a problem with my HTC Magic.
This afternoon i want to flash a net ROM on my phone. But i wanted to crate a backup first, so i booted the amonra 1.2.3 recovery image with fastboot boot recovery-RA-magic-v1.2.3H and every thing worked fine , created a back up with nandroid. then i restarted the phone after then i restated it. But id doesent start normaly. It shows th HTC Magic logan then a shot black and the again the logo. After that a warning sign is showed(I figures out that this is the recovery mode). if i restart the phone i always come to the recovery mode. No Fastboot or other.
When i select apply updete.zip in recovery mode i only get the message: no sginature ,verification failed and Cant read MISC(no space left). and thats it.
I have a HTC Magic 32A the SPL was that one with the 09 in the end.
So i have no idea what gone worng and if i can revover my phone.
Can anyone help me??

You should be most likely able to recover you phone.
If you take the battery out, then insert it again, then press the back-button and the call-end-button, it won't boot to fastboot? Maybe try volume down + power on, too? It sounds pretty weird...

Hi all,
I dunno if any of my steps goes wrong, but my phone keeps auto booting even i dont push the RED button, even i remove the battery and put it back again, it keeps auto booting so i cant choose fastboot mode or recovery mode.
All i did is:
- fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.1H.img
- choose Apply sdcard:choose zip and select update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2004-signed.zip
Is it bricked? Could anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
1st off wrong section man you gotta take this to general...
2nd try press and hold home and power see if you go into recovery...if you do then your not bricked.
sorry i'll move this to general
so did you get it to work?
no i cant boot to recovery or fastboot, it just keep showing the htc splash screen, i'll take it to the htc care guys to see if they could help me. thanks btw
is your phone plugged into your PC when this happens? Dumb I know but when my phone is plugged into my pc it autoboots
Yes i realized it afterwards, i just unplug the usb cable and it stops auto-booting, but i cant reach the recovery and fastboot afterwards. Anyway, i've already take it to the customer service and seems that they have way to flush back all the software part and i could have my magic 3 days later
Actually i just wonder which step is wrong for me, should i root the spl before flashing a new one? or i should just skip it? i wanted to know this more
hello i just wanted to see if i still could get help with my useless device
Ok so yesterday ive rooted the phone and today i tried to install cyanogen mod 7 rom
i used rom utility which i ve downlaoded from android marketplace
now sometimes my phone boots and gets to the logo loop
ive heard that clearing cache and settings would work but i cant access these menus as my hboot is not reacting to my key presses , i tried to reflash the phone but nothing came with success.
I used android sdk and RUU but nothing with success .
maybe anyone would teamview me or give me step by step tutorial how to get this phone alive again would be appreciated
You will be rewarded
You rooted the Phone with a App from the Market?
You need if your HBoot is lower then 1.* the unrEVOked Tool.
If its 1.* there is no way to flash it.
Okay, maybe it worked with yout root app from the market, dunno, but i dont think so.
So you cant access while pressing volume down (keep holding) and switching on the phone the bootmanager? oO thats no good.
The Logo will stay up to "15minutes (<-?)" after flashing a new Rom. In this time its possible, that you Phone restarts automaticly. its normal. Switch it on an wait up to an half hour. If it keep staying in the boot sequence while showing the logo you got a problem .
I think there isnt a more unsave way than a "Flash by teamviewer". You have also pay attention to the phone while flashing. on TV you cant keep an eye on it.
But how can you reflash your phone without getting access to the bootmanager/ HBoot? I think you habe to access the clockwork to flash cm7 *thinking*.
If u nowhow to use adb try n get a adb logcat if possible

Hi borris and daddyspud thanks for your reply ,i cant move around in hboot ,my hboot version i 0.80.0003
Ive rooted it using unrevoked with clockwork mod on it.
now even when i get it to boot it just loops in cyanogen animation,should i leave it for 15 minutes to do its thing?
also im new to this so i dont know anything about sdk and adb,all i did is saw the tutorials using it ,so i thought i would use it just to give it a go
HBoot 0.8 is rootable, so its okay.
If there is still an animation while you see the CM Logo everything is fine.
If it freeze for some minutes is there a problem. The Animation shows you "i am working / installing".
Yes, let him do his thing for some Minutes.
I think everting should be okay and after some minutes it will work like normal.
It reboots sometimes it self, but this is also okay.
I dont know... does the new CM7 also install a new HBoot? So its possible why you cant move around in it.
Do you wait about 10 seconds before you try to move around in it? Because in the first seconds it looks like it freezed an then it start a test or something. this takes about 10seconds then you can use it.
Its not bricked if its turning on.
Can you get into recovery? If you can try flashing the 4.1 kernel.
If that doesnt help, go into recovery and do a full wipe. Clear cache and dalvik, and under partitions menu format everything except SD card. Then flash CM7, then the 4.1 kernel
Remember first boot will take 10-15 minutes. Be patient. If youve done everything right you shouldnt have any problems
Hi and thanks for cooperation ,i left my phone on cyanogen animation for an hour and nothing is happening just animation loop constantly.
I've just tried hboot and it searches for the PC 49 DIAG and says not found after that it freezes and i cant use any menu navigation buttons . in hbot and fastboot.
I dont even know what to do next
Much help appreciated guys
oO
thats weird.
the PC49DIAG is a part of the rom it self. So i think you have to try to re-flash it. Did you try it with or without a goldcard?
before you flash your phone whipe ALL datas on it!!!
If i start in bootloader mode i get also all the "missing" errors but i can still use the vol up/down buttons to navigate around.
That should help.
I think you did something wrong while flashing.
the root failed?
you got an error while flashing?
goldcard?
Try to flash a RUU from shipped roms. DONT flash a Froyo rom, you will get the HBoot 1.* if you do this.
Recoverymode doesnt work in the hboot?
If you try recoverymode you will get a blackscreen with an triangle.
most say "press the power button" to enter the recovery mode. if this doesnt work press the "volum up button (hold it) then the power button" this should enter recovery mode.
**EDIT**
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz use a www-rom its without a branding. and use a RUU rom.. and pls dont use a froyo rom. after flashing this your root is gone i think but your phone will be alive again.
dont try the cm7 this time. use a stock rom.
is it alive again?
i talked today to someone who hat exactly the same problem like you.
it was simple to fix the problem... he (you also?) didnt
whipe the phone before he flashed the cm7. thats why it wont stop looping
in the cm7 animation.
after whiping and reflashing everything was fine.
... did you whipe it b4 flashing?

When you boot into recovery using (home+power) do you get a triangle with an ! or do you get a menu? If you get a menu, does it say anything at the bottom of the screen?
i get the triangle with the ! and when i press power + home again i get the Android system recovery utility
this is what i see
Use trackball to highlight:
click to select.
reboot system now [Home+Back]
apply sdcard:update.zip[alt+S]
wipe data/factory reset [alt+w]
E:cant open/cache/recovery/command
Your going to have to make a goldcard unless that SPL will let you boot a custom recovery. Let me do some searching give me about 5 minutes. Or you can add me on Google talk. [email protected]

Dear sir
i get same problem after i had up radio from 6.35.07.29 to 6.35.10.58 by change name from update- radio-6.35.10.58.zip to update.zip & use old recovery after my phone will start again & suddenly it shows pic...white box with white arrow ...phone... After 5-7 sec. It's disappear ( black screen )
same as this thread...htc magic bricked after update of radio...pls.advise pls.pls...thanks you very much..
restore
take batt out and back in. Hold down home button and power at same time untill restore comes up. (hopefully clockworkmod recovery) scroll down to backup/restore.click on ADVANCED RESTORE.
Hopefully you have some nandroid restores on phone. however the restores PROBALLY WONT RESTORE normally. you have to click on one in advanced restore and restore each section from very BOTTOM TO TOP.
EXAMPLE.
1.RESTORE SD-EXT
2.RESTORE CACHE
3.RESTORE DATA
4.RESTORE SYSTEM (NEED TO REBOOT TO RECOVERY NOW BEFORE STEP 5)
5.RESTORE BOOT (REBOOT TO RECOVERY ONE LAST TIME AFTER RESTORE BOOT)
6.REBOOT SYSTEM NOW
IF BOOT DOES NOT RESTORE(STEP 5) AFTER ALL OTHERS RESTORE, REBOOT INTO RECOVERY AGAIN, AND NOW USE NANDROID RESTORE NORMAL(NOT ADVANCED) FROM THE SAME FILE YOU WERE JUST RESTORING ADVANCED.SHOULD RETORE. REBOOT GOOD LUCK. reson for all this is your boot loader is prob not unlocked. I hope this helps.

Thanks you very much
Hey you guys
I recently installed amon ra's recovery v. 1.7 on my magic 32a (radio 6.3.5 something) after I rooted my phone, of course.
Now, I thought that with the new recovery I would be easily able to flash a custom rom onto my magic. This was however not so easy, because the recovery behaves in a very weird way. Whenever I tell it to flash a new rom from a .zip image, or wipe the phone, or anything, it just reboots my magic and thats it. Also, the recovery happens to freeze quite regularly when I don't act very quickly. E.g. when I boot into recovery mode and don't touch the phone for the first 5 seconds, it wont respond any longer.
So, I'm probably doing something wrong here. I would appreciate any help from anyone. (and btw, i have the official android 1.5 sense rom installed on my magic, os I cant use rom manager either, since it only supports android 1.6 upwards.)
Look at the root guide in my signature..
Do step 0, 1, 2, 5 and 7 only.
It should flash the recovery partition one more time.
Hopefully it will fix your problem :0)

hey, thanks for the quick response. I still have a few questions though, since I am quite a newb. So when I type all of those commands into cmd, doesnt my device need to be connected to the computer somehow? I read somewhere earlier that I simply connect it using the "mount" funtion, the problem is that that doesnt seem to work anymore for my magic, because after I hit "mount" it simply goes back to "usb connected" without acutally mounting. So ..how do I connect the device to the PC while entering the commands?
ok... my bad..
Try to read the ENTIRE guide... then do the steps i mentioned above :0)
Don't mount it... just connected... but again.. read the guide.
thanks a lot
I didnt use your method to flash the image, but the hero recovery works way better than the one I had before. I managed to flash a rom now. So happy ;D
ok i think i just did a bad mistake
i installed rom manager after i had flashed an android 2.1 rom on my magic. THen i told it to flash some rom from my sd card and also wipe some data, or something. Now my magic gets stuck on the magic bootscreen, like it keeps looping. Did i brick my phone ..or is there a way to fix this? please help me, (
most likely is that the rom you flashed doesn't have a compatible kernel for your phone.
Just boot into recovery and flash a rom that is compatible.
cant boot into recovery ..it just keeps looping
Then you will need to boot into fastboot and reflash a working recovery.
Clockwork has issues flashing the clockwork recovery sometimes.
to boot into fastboot i need to hold power and back, right? ..that doesnt work either. again, it just keeps looping.
so, guys ..did i brick my phonne..?? :S

you're probably not doing it right. you should still be able to get into recovery or fastboot and install a different recovery. i'm using RA-magic+v1.7.0.1 recovery it has bugs but pretty stable.
so what am i doing wrong??
just realized when i connect the phone to my pc over usb and then boot it, it connects to the pc for a second or less and then disconnects again. Dont know if this helps anyhow.
pull battery, put battery back in. hold back and push power.
Should be good.
tried that like 50 times. phone just keeps looping ..like, it restart over and over again.
What you have is what hundreds before you had when they used Rom manager.
The system will not boot into anything.
My advice is to never use Rom manager for 32A device.
The fix:
Keep pushing the back button while the system reboots... just mash the **** out of it..
I helped out someone before you, and he did it for over an hour or so...
It's a timing issue...
Good luck
haha ..so is there still hope?
cheers for all the answers ;D
i do have one question though, actually.
Shall i just press the back button continuously ...while it keeps looping, or should i rather restart the device after each loop and hold the back button?
just mash the back button.
Hi please I need help,this is my story I bought htc magic which is running 2.2.1,so I wanted to updated it to 2.3,so what I did is I rooted it installed Recovery manager from the store then flash clockwork recovery,but the problem is I can't get in to recovery using Home + On buttun,but when ever I want to enter recovery I have to on the phone then goto rom mnager from there I select boot recovery,so I managed backup my rom,then I downloaded ginger yoshi Rom then wipe factory reset,wipe caches then installed Rom,then Reboot,so after reboot my phone hang on booting so I have no option,because I can't enter recovery mode,I can only enter bootloader,So I decided to download Ruu_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_2.17.14.01.2_HTC_PTG_test_signed_Nodriver,then I run it on my system which I'm running window 8 64bit,then put my phone in bootloader then I press back key and my pc recognize the phone,and on the phone it showed fastboot usb,then I agreed and the flashing begin,so during the flashing my phone showed some like 3 files fail to installed all I can remember is system and booting failed to installed,so after that I removed my phone from the system the remove my battery put it back try to on it,but the phone refuse to on try to enter bootloader but it refused just black screen,and now when I plug it in system it showed red light charging and it make sound then showed Usb device not recognized,and when I press on buttun with trackpad it showed blue led light,
