Just bought a HTC Magic from ebay and decided to a complete wipe of the system as outlined in the phone through setting > sd card & phone memory > full system reset.
On reboot, the phone is now stuck on the home screen with "No Sim Card" at the home screen. No service and the when i press menu button nothing happens. I only have the option to turn off the phone.

Does it have a recovery? Turn it off and hold home+power toturn it back on. Is it the default recovery or like a Amon Ra recovery? if you have that you should be able to do something.

I installed the O2 rom upgrade 1.6044, and let both my PC and XDA do their thing for an hour or so. Then my PC screen realeased to desktop and my XDA only had the "Radio Upgrade" notice on it. I reviewed the install directions and it said "Follow screen instructions and perform a hard reset" I didn't have screen instructions, so I proceeded with the hard reset. (everything is backed up!) I am now hung up on the 2nd splash screen with the bubbles (1st splash screen has ROM version 1.6 and "GSM Off" in red letters at the bottom) , and the XDA won't go any further.
From reading this board, it sounds like I need to reset my bootlauncher, but can this be done from an SD card? Do I move the ROM to the SD card from my PC, then restart the XDA with the SD card installed? How is this done? The support center wants to keep the unit for 5 days, and I can't get to HK until the weekend. I'd like to fix it on my own before then.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
The same sort of this has happened to me, have one XDA in for repiar that freezes on the first screen, looks as though someone has done a bad upgrade and ruined the bootloader.
Could some one please tell me how to boot an XDA from the SD card, what files do I need on the card? etc...
Thanks,
MRS
you need a memory card about 64MB. Here is the most easiest to do and very safety
Borrow PPC PHONE from other and put the SD card into it.(any carriers don't worried your phone remains unlocked)
now. hold the power button at the same time use stylus to reset the big hole on the left(not he small hole for battery) then remove the stylus out of the reset hole
Now the screen will boot up in bootloader ( you can see WALLABY Boot Loader)
now press the contact button (on the left siee below the power button)
you will see FLASH TOOLS
SELECT CD+BOOT TO SD
THEN HIT ENTER ( THE BIGEST BUTTON WIHICH YOU CAN SELLECT UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT)
NOW WAIT FOR IT Download to SD card and will notice as it done
Remove it from the pocket pc phone, then put it on your pockt pcphone to upgrade the boot loader and the window mobile
Now, hold down power button and press on reset hole(like you did on the previous ppc phone) and remove the stylus
Now you can see this on the screee"
SD Download
CARD TYPE:
CE OS
Press ACTION
To Download
or
Press REC
to EXIT
You will choose Press ACTION to upgrade you Pocket PC Phone.(the bigest button left right up down) Press it down.
Now wait for it complete upgrade about 5 minutes.
After that you reset the battery hold and wait 1 minute and press the battery hole to boot up pocket pc phone.(right small hold on the right)
Now you have the carrier that you install (wheither AT&T, T_Mobile.....) Now if you want to upgrade WM 2003, go ahead to offical site to get free upgrade 2003.
hoaghon, your process is perfect but suits only XDA I, not XDA II
For the mentioned problem, is the device still recognized by ActiveSync or not ?

It's your SPL screen. Try this:
push the internet and message buttons together and reset your phone. It asks for reset, press the green phonekey. This hard-resets your device.
It does not help
Did you flash any ROM yesterday night ???
No
Only my HTC batterry full discharged.
Very strange, i don't know if is the case to use Mtty, wait for others opinions.

Hi All,
My son dropped the phone and broke the lcd screen, I buy one on ebay and change it but now the phone has the htc screen and resets constantly.
If I enter the boot mode is not reset, it stays on
What can I do to solve it.
Thanks
Probably, the fall broke more than just the screen. Try booting into recovery and flashing another rom or doing a nandroid restore.
Or, you could also wipe cache and data to restore the rom to its original state
I tried to enter to recovery screen but the phone restart, just in the initial boot screen the phone do not restart

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me. I am having trouble booting back into windows mobile 7 after switching my phone off for the first time since install.
Having never done anything like this before I followed the instructions closely making sure I had the correct spl, hspl2, the correct magldr, radio etc.
7 was working perfectly. My problems only started when I realised I forgot to put my sd card in before install, following instructions I found on another thread it was suggested that I remove the battery insert sd card and turn phone back on etc. However I can’t turn the phone back on, the only thing I can do is hold down the volume key and the red button to get the red/green/blue/white – screen.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this problem? Have I bricked my phone?
Sorry if a similar query has already been posted. I would appreciate any help, thanks!
Can you boot into MAGLDR and reflash? Hold down the power button from off and select option 5.
No. I can't get the MAGLDR screen to load, the only thing that happens when i hold the power button is a small vibration but nothing loads.

Forgive me for probably relatively simple questions, but my last involvement on here was the development of WM5 for the HTC Blue Angel! So quite some years ago...
I've found a wildfire in the local park a fortnight or so ago. I tried to make an attempt to find its owner, but the device is locked out (asking for email/password) and there is no SD card or SIM card in it (Guessing someone "obtained" it one way or another, couldn't get into it and threw it away). Anyway, long story short - Police aren't interested, Virgin say the phones likely already been disabled and there's nothing they can do with it - so thats left me with it.
Now when I power it up, it goes straight to a screen that has FASTBOOT highlighted in red. This menu key info shows:
S-ON
HBOOT-1.01.0002
RADIO-3.35.20.10
Dec 27 2010, 17:49:10
The power button and volume down buttons don't respond. Tried to do a hard reset, but the buttons don't respond on the other screen either.
Tried to flash with a WWE RUU. It would fail due to Customer ID error but the phone would subsequently boot to the locked screen again. Managed to create a Goldcard (using my Blue Angel none-the-less!) and now RUUs fail due to a bootloader error I think it is.
When running RUU, the version the device is running is: 2.39.775.1
The highest RUU i've found is: RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed
It seems a shame to just throw the phone in the bin, but I'm now at a loss what to do.
I've guessed the phones on Virgin, as putting that sim card in when the phone is on the lock screen rather than the white one it shows a different message to any other sim card. I can't find a Virgin RUU though if that would help.
HBoot seems to be the newest one, it is not possible to use Unrevoked to unlock the bootloader, so you either wait till Unrevoked releases a new version with a new exploit, or you find someone with a XTC-clip to S-off your HBoot. (or you buy it yourself)
I thought as much.
Is there no way to be able to get the hard reset to work - just to get the device remotely usable?
First take out SIM and memorycard,
1.Switch off phone by removing battery and put battery back in
2.hold the volume down button and press the power on button briefly, with the volume down button held
3.you will now get a screen approx 10 seconds later and with a few options, go to hard reset/factory reset
4.follow options through, this will reset phone to factory settings.
Post if it works or not
h4oxer: I could get to that menu, but there was no response from the buttons. I couldn't change the menu option highlighted, nor did the power button execute what was already highlighted.
By placing a PC49IMG and a rom on the memory card and then booting to that menu, it enabled those options to be selected. I couldn't flash the rom, but I have now managed to perform a hard reset. Now it boots up ok, but when I go to power off, the next time I power on it's going back to the fastboot (highlighted red) screen. I'm running any RUU update to kick it out of fastboot back into the actual OS.
