Bricked or Not ? - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Hi there !
i've been given the task to try to unbrick a Htc Magic from Italy, je previous owner had a bricked the phone, and now i'm trying to understand how should i proceed to unbrick the phone (or if it's even possible).
the phone comes from italy and should be a 32A version.
it goes to the Tim Logo screen and then stop.
i've no access to any screen like fastboot or recovery
except for the bootradio (Power & trackball) wich light up the blue led.
thanks for any advices or clues.
best regards.
K.

anyone has an idea ?

Up ? anyone have i posted in the wrong section ? if so can a moderator move the thread ?

Did you try to type adb logcat in a shell or command prompt?

impossible for the computer to detect the phone.

There were some people who had experience same symptom in this forum including me. But some people had luck, the others not.
My unit had same symptom as yours have. I had tried lots of methods which had reported as unbricked. But I could not have any luck.
Please search forum and read it. There are more information then I had been trying to.
But don't try to call HTC branch. "HTC don't deal with any brand customized products", it was the only answer from HTC.
Good luck!

Are you saying that some people were able to recover their phones without access to fastboot or recovery? I'd love to see this
To me that means the phone is dead... and this sticky FAQ thread says the same thing...

did you try the sappimg trick?

T-mobile Ameo Black Screen after unlock

Hi Guys
I've been reading this forum for two days now, and still haven't found the answer to my solution.
I used Olipros unlocker on Saturday, but after step 1 the screen went black and it wont reboot.
I can get into bootloader (by pressing the camera button and the reset pin at the same time), but I can't install the OS from Activesync as the PC can't see the ameo.
I can also get to factory reset (by pressing the volume slider down and powering up), but I haven't done anything in there.
The bootloader shows Olipro SPL 1.2
At the same time as getting this sorted I thought I'd upgrade to WM6 from the posts that are here, but I can't find at all, how to get the ROM onto the ameo without Activesync seeing it.
Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks for any help in advance.
Joe
i have had the same problem.
i solve doing this :
1rst enter in bootloader mode ( Reset + camera button )
plug your USB cable
and flash WM5 or WM6 rom with flash utility
utilies doesn't trcognize your current rom etc but donc care about
then after flash 100% my athena (HTC advantage boot up normaly again)
i hope my experience help you
Hi, thanks for your advice:
Here's what I'm doing:
Bootloader (Camera and reset hole)
Bootloader shows ATHE100
SPL-v1.20. Olipro
USB
I'm then running mtty tool and can get a connection with:
Cmd>
I type Task 32 and it states Level=0
do I then use the lnbs command?
I'm sorry, I dont see what to do now
You state to upgrade ROM with flash utility, but whats the flash utility?
Is it Mtty?
Or another tool that I haven't got yet?
I have downloaded the ROM update tools, and within the rar files there are apps like, enterbootloader, ruugetinfo, rapitool, etc, but they wont run, they say that they aren't a valid win32 application
Sorry, I know my phones not knackered, just don't know how to get out of it.
Joe
run ROMUpdateutility.exe provided with WM5 rom update or WM6 rom update (if you don't have look at XDA ftps ...)
Thank you so much for your help, got WM6 running on it now, everything's v good.
Cheers
Joe
i'm happy you ameo up and alive

Just out of curiosity, did you take your storage card out before you began the unlock?
not for me : no SD card , only microdrive
Nope, didn't realise I had to....
Is that the common factor in it failing?

I don't think so, I don't have a memory card on my Ameo and had the same problem.. And when I told the Olipro **** that I got the black screen AND his SPL was flashed successfully, he kinda went frenzy about "IT IS NOT MY FAULT, IT IS YOURS! YOU ARE STUPID, I AM GOD!".. Nice support, huh?
Donate the mofo!
yes nice support indeed

I suggest people read the forum thread, I've been aware of the problem since day one after xmen's pda reset itself while running an unpatched SPL.
clearly you're a moron, or your english is ****, possibly both.

Just don't flame "stupid" people. And if someone asks for help: ignore, say that you won't help them or help them properly (without flaming).
Thnx.
And another thing.
You look *smart* and *cool* when you flame other people when they get problems and ask for help!!! (not)
OK... there's nothing I can do about it, if it black screens, please go and flash a ROM with an OS on it.
until I get hold of a new SPL, I do apologise for this unknown bug, but again, as I said, it's an intrinsic problem of 1.10.
Flash a ROM if it happens to you and it'll be fine. your device will NOT be bricked.

Better,,, and sorta friendly.
What do you think about this little gem:
Pissed off == no reply @ the forums.
Cooled down == yeah, ok I can reply.
But then again, what do I know, eh?
Some people PAID you to hack/crack/mangle/otherwise play around with a Athena.
No, I didn't use any of your programs... I have had an unlocked Athena since day one. No, I will wait for the official Dopod release on the 20th (hopefully). If I see any bugs, HELL YES I will query the collective hive mind here.
But please, lay off the "I'm better than you" attitude. It doesn't do any good at all.

Are you hard-spl? That is the bootscreen in which you can flash roms(operating system).

Well tell us what you did before that!
1. This is NOT development related. I moved it to the general Herald forum. Please do NOT post non-development threads in the development forum.
2. You have to be more specific about what you did to get there.
3. If you do a search, you'll find that a LOT of people have gotten to that screen. I'm guessing you may have tried to HardSPL a phone that wasn't compatible with HardSPL.
Hai
Actually i got this mobile from my friend he have just tried some ROM in this i think its the problem now.
when i'm connecting with usb its not connecting to my Laptop also.

Check to see what the SPL says in the bootloader. You can learn about the bootloader HERE.
If the SPL says 0.85.OliNex, then you ARE HardSPLed, so we can help you more.

pls help me with my htc jade pls. pls. pls...

pls help, i really dont know what to do with my fone. i have here htc t3238 jade 100 (but in the battery pack, it's "160") and the only problem is it's calibration...
i've tried to reset my phone so many time and the phone can't do it... it never goes on the "white screen" mode... then sombody told me about the rom which i really dont know... so please could anyone help me the step by step procedure how to fix this.... i just bought the fone slightly used and i'm not familiar with it... tnx a lot... im having a real big problem....
isnt the T3238 a clone?
The Jade should be a T3232...so you might have a fake.
i really don't know if this is a fake... and if that so.. could you please help me for any solution i should do... please please please...
it's been a while, a user posted the same issue as you did. it was no clone, and I do not know, how he solved his problem.
I know, I have sent him a reg-file with the calibration-data from my phone, but my suggestion was to return it to the service point to get it fixed, as it might have been a hardware-problem.
have a look at this thread, where you can also get the reg-file content:

Mate, you can try a very SIMPLE Google Search "t3238 problems" and you will see a number of possible results.
Have a look at those, as this HTC JADE thread is NOT really for your Cloned Device.
Good Luck

What I am going to do is to save you from a lot of people yelling:
Go to: T-Mobile USA HD2 ROM Development
At the top of this page are a series of posts with what looks like pushpins as icons. These are "stickies" which means that they are so important that everyone should read them. The one you are looking for should say "(For Noobs)".
You need to read that whole thread. If it's confusing, you should read it again and again. It addresses your issue, though not in so many words.
Hint: You need HSPL.

[Q] Is my phone bricked ?

Hello all,
Hi have a Magic 32A branded HTC
Yesterday I do a radio update, but I do a mistake and apply a wrong file. The file myTouch-radio-2_22_23_02 for the 32B.
Now my phone stay blocked at the operator splash screen. No more fastboot or recovery mode.
Is my phone definitively bricked ?
PS: I found the post from marcdbl (How I un-bricked my bricked phone), but nothing append with my phone.
Any idea ?
Sorry for my english.
Arcenik
I can't help with the fixing of it but the term bricking usually means no startup at all or screen activity. So there is hope
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Ok, I have a little hope.
So i'm waiting for another help.
