Okay, so I tried to upgrade my HTC Magic (Vodafone UK) from Cyanogen's 1.4 ROM to the 4.2.5 version (using instructions in his wiki). To do this I had to run the update from the HTC website and then run the cyanogen mod 4.2.5. I did this and my phone would turn on but then just go to a black screen after the Vodafone logo and android logo. So to try and fix it I went back into recovery mode and just ran the update.zip from the HTC website.
Now, my phone turns on, goes past the Vodafone load screen and on to the 'Android' screen, but when it should load the actual phone software, the screen just goes black.
If I try to load into recovery mode (hold home while turning on) I just get a picture of a phone and an exclamation mark. (which I think means its now un-rooted, but I may be wrong)
Is there any way I can fix this?
Thanks for your help
Also, now half the time when I try to turn my phone on I just get a red LED flash and nothing happens

Hi.
I bought my black HTC magic a few days ago from Vodafone in Slovenia... worked normally, i downloaded some of applications on the andriod market and installed it. I turned it off, but the phone didn't start properly. It shows the HTC sign and plays the startup song all over again. Tried some buttons and to connect with computer, but still shows the animation without any changes.
Please help!
Try to hold (home) while turning it on, this will get you into recovery mode (or some other combination which you should be able to find by searching xda)
But when in recovery make a wipe (restore factory default)
I was wondering if anyone here knows of a way to unbrick an Expo.
Just got phone today and was flashing the lastest dragonstorm rom onto it when My computer crashed and I recieved a blue screen. Now when I push the power button the green light and the backlight turn on but the scren stays blank. Have tried re-flashing with both the LG update rom and the dragonstorm one but the only effect is occasionaly the 'Emergancy download' message comes on and stays on until I pull battery out.
Have you tried flashing with a different computer? was your computer running vista?
No. My computer is Windows 7. Have tried flashing on a laptop running Xp but the dragonstorm rom comes up with a message saying can not read whats on phone. Have also tried with the base rom and update rom but both go right through and say update complete but the phone is still the same.
My phone is "bricked", it won't load into the orange windows logo screen anymore, just LG logo and turn lcd off, that's it. Help
Try, Power on + space key, then you should see "emergency download".
And then try reflash phone.
up help then....
I was running Cyanogen 6.1 on my HTC Dream fine, after that i decided for full downgrade. So i searched google for it and found the cyanogen wiki for doing it. I followed each step and after flashing DREAIMG.NBH to my phone, it restarted. And so it entered a boot loop. I took off the batery and then tried to enter recovery or the bootloader.When powering the phone normally, i see the T-Mobile logo, and after that, the screen turns black. Whenever i try Camera + Power, after the logo it goes to black screen. Home + Power points the same thing and so does back + power. Fastboot doesn't seem to work even though i have all drivers properly installed and the Android ADB Device shows under Device Manager.
I know i messed up because i didn't wipe before the downgrade. If there is any possibility to repair it? If so..what is to be done?
Thank you in advance!
Hi Guys
When I turn my phone on, after the Galaxy S first screen, the screen is multi-colored for about 1 second before going to the boot animation. Once the boot animation appears the screen is fine.
That's not a problem. What is a problem is booting into recovery, the top of the screen has a few blue lines. It still operates as if it is in recovery, as if I press the power button it reboots - but if I press down once, then power, it's not rebooting. So it looks like it's just the screen can't display what's being sent to it. So I can't do anything in Recovery like installing the auto-phone record, screen capture service or extended power menu. It will also be a problem if I come to install another ROM.
Does anyone know why? It started happening after I flashed a new ROM - I flashed the new ROM because the phone was constantly freezing when running certain apps (and needed the battery removed to restart the phone) - it's no longer freezing.
thanks
I'm not sure but,i think it because you don't have the good bootloader.For example,if you flash a rom from Froyo to gingerbread,you need to choose a rom with the gingerbread sbl(bootloader) include.
So to avoid this problem,just re-flash the entire rom with boot loader included.

thanks I'll try that
Hello,
my friend has a problem with his phone. He neither installed a custom rom, nor he rooted it. He updated OTA and after a week, while he was talking, the phone shut down.
When he powers it on the screen lights up and nothing else happens. Sometimes the vodafone splash came up, but nothing more.
I don't know if the phone boots into recovery as I don't see anything on the screen.
I tried booting to fastboot mode, and the pc detects it. But I whatever I try to do, (flash,erase etc) I get the error: Remote not allowed...
Any ideas how to fix it?
try a new ROM?
How? The screen shows nothing... And i haven't rooted it so I can flash another rom
did you try to turn it on and push VOL- to go into SPL menu
yes th screen lights up and but it shows nothing
