HTC magic wownt load anything!

Hi all
This is my first post, please be gentle. I have tried searching and read lots but have got now where very fast. Firstly thanks to everyone putting out all the guides and working on the updates and such. I have a HTC magic vodafone google UK
I tried rooting my phone using: http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?t ... ic_Rooting
then I loaded recovery RAv1.1.2 which worked well again
I think its at this step where I went wrong. I then tried to load up the fatality Scene onto my phone and now it does not boot. looking back i missed the fact it was for 32A and not 32B and when i try to restore nandroid the same problem of only vodafone splash screen comes up and hangs until battery is removed
I can access recovery by holding home and power, i can load roms from sd card but on reboot it hangs on vodafone. So I have to take the batery out. I can still access fast boot when putting battery back in and back and that has got me no where aswell
on fastboot it says
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0004 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I

All I wanted to do is to be able to access voice dialing, multi touch and saving apps on SD card, anything else is a bonous. Now any use apart from a paper weught would be good
any advice appreciated!!!
please help!!!

ok well if you can still acess fastboot then you shoulb be able to load recovery image by using
fastboot boot name-of-recovery-image.img
and then flash the phone again using a 32B rom... Make sure of course that you first download the rom and place it on the sdcard using a card reader or something!

I have learned the error of my ways. Basically I should have read more and try and understand what the actual process was doing rather than blindly following instructions. Im all up and running and have to say many thanks to every one working on this, there is actually more than enough info and support if you look for it!

HTC Magic won't boot after reset

Hi all,
yesterday I got my HTC Magic but there was Hero ROM on it already. First thing that I have done is a master reset (hold HOME+BACK and power On, then press trackball), because I like to start fresh with new fone, don't want to have old user settings and customization.
Now phone doesn't boot. It boot to the HERO logo but that's all. After HERO animation, it start loop, HERO animation starts again until the battery is removed.
Please help. How to solve this problem, I'm OK with HERO ROM on the Magic or with the original ROM.
So what to do? Thank you in advance.

You just need to re-flash the ROM. So find a Hero ROM or some other ROM that fits the board (either 32A or 32B), and put the update.zip on your SDcard and go to recovery mode and flash it.

Cheesebaron,
thank you for you replay. Can you give me some more instructions, I have Android phone for less then 24 hours (read: he is n00b) and which is procedure for flashing? How to go to recovery and start flashing part? Part for the zip package is OK, I can do that via micro SD card reader.
edit: And please if someone can post link for Hero or default Magic ROM that will work OK, it doesn't matter for first time, goal is that phone start working at all.

OK, so far I have managed to install various ROMs to my 32B Magic.
So I have some new questions:
On which ROM all features are 100% working?
Which ROM is closest to default ROM?
This is my config:
sapphire pvt 32b ship s-on g
hboot 1.33.0004 (sapp10000)

[Q] HTC Magic stucked/spoiled /bricked!! :@

Hi all, I bought a 2nd hand HTC Magic with Mytouch 3g rom. It's the old model (without 3.5mm headphone jack) and its made in Taiwan.
Been using well for 3 months until what happened I tried doing system update from 1.5 to 1.6. Success!! Then I tried doing 1.6 to 2.1 update.
Halfway while updating it, the phone blacked out ( guess I didnt have more than at least 50 % battery power)
And from that point onwards, whenever and everytime I switched on my handphone it boots up and stucked at the Mytouch 3G green screen.
I cant get access into my handphone like how I normally do. All I can ever go far is just the stucked Mytouch 3g screen.
I've read alot from lots and other Android users and tried to do it myself.
1) Tried unrooting it by downloading the sappimg.nbh file, copy into a newly bought 2GB micro SD, pressing (VOL DOWN+POWER) and let the phone do its job.
Manage to get to the parsing, updating and checking signature part but it just say 'Model ID incorrect! Update Fail!'
2) Next I read is about doing GOLDCARD METHOD. I did as instructions and follow it step-by-step and carefully.
3) I can and able to download all needed files like 1.33.2005 HBoot, Amon Ra's Recovery Image, SappiMG.zip and all others.
BUT the only problem is that I cant get it in sync with the comp.
4) I cant get access at all into my phone to go to Settings > Applcations > Make sure Unknown Sources is checked on as required to.
5) I cant get access into my phone at all to go to Market and download the required File Manager App.
6) I tried installing all kinds of files for update.zip by pressing (HOME+POWER) still to no avail.
Tried all kinds of HBOOT, FASTBOOT still cannot.
7) The only thing I'm able to do is just (VOL DOWN+POWER) , (BACK+POWER) , (HOME+POWER) , (TRACKBALL+POWER) which emits the blue LED light, i don't know the reason. But still, nothing can be done.
And by pressing (BACK+POWER) this is what my phone's motherboard or whatever they call it.

So what should I do now? Is this what they called it a bricked phone? I tried everything and really at lost. Is there someone out there who's able to help me with this? Been like this the past 4months. And Im really a noob with Android Gadgets as Im new to it. Do pardon my ignorance.
Thanks! really need your help. I'll do my best as long there's other alternative methods unless like I've stated the methods that I'm unable to do.

Is this HTC Magic bricked?

Hello,
I recently tried to update the spl/radio to use a new rom on my HTC Magic 32A and after updating the spl the phone just hangs on the "HTC Magic" screen. Fastboot or Recovery wont start if I hold the buttons. Was just wondering if it is bricked or if it is possible to fix via cmd or so? I read alittle on jtag but I think if it came down to that Ill just buy a new phone cause this phone is not worth that much trouble.
I rooted the phone a year or so ago. First I had cyanogen but they dropped support so I switched too gingeryoshi but the wifi stopped working. It still connected to tmobile hotspot but I couldnt tether or connect to my wifi. So I thought of putting on Froyodragon. I updated too HBOOT-1.76.2007 but then it just hanged on reboot.
Thanks for any input.

Turn phone off (if you have bootloop then remove battery and place it back after 10-20 sec)
Turn on by pressing Back + Power - it's fastboot-mode
Write first 5 rows of info (all symbols are important)
If you do not have Android Sdk Tools configured - do it
Additionaly search for fastboot.exe - this utility can be absent from sdk tools
Connect phone to pc when it in fastboot-mode
Run
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
fastboot getvar cidnum
fastboot getvar version-main

hello,
I tired back+power, power+vol down, and power+home, they all just sit at the "HTC Magic" screen.

Did you remove battery before try and placed it back? If yes and any combination did not help -> 'brick'. Only JTAG can help.
What ROM did you have before?
And what ROM did you update?
There are no bricked phones when 32A phone updating with 32A official ROM. I don'y understand how you bricked your device.
Even if hboot updated but radio did not - there are some chances to restore...
Tell us how it happened?

same problem
Sir im also facing the same problem like this person is facing:
I guess that I've bricked my HTC magic phone. actually it was working fine but after when i flash Hboot file named (ISO-8859-1__STOCK-HBOOT) on it.

but if i press vol down+power key its not showing any hboot loader screen but if i use command prompt after that and use fastboot devices command its shows the device like in machine language

D:\adb\tools>fastboot devices

Yes I removed the battery (only way i could turn it off). I stated most of this info in the first post but Ill try and state specifically what versions I had. When I first rooted I used Cyanogen Rom. It worked fine but they dropped support so I switched too Gingeryoshi. I dont remember what version. I tried to update it too 1.5 first but it didnt work but fastboot and recovery still worked so I decided to switch to a new rom instead and tried Froyodragon but it needed radio 6.35.16.19 and HBOOT-1.76.2007. So I wiped it then I did the HBOOT-1.76.2007 and after installing and rebooting is when it stopped working.

Crap, I just did this too... got a yellow arrow coming from a box onto an Android. I flashed a mismatched 6.35 radio (I guess?).
Can't boot to fastboot--can only boot to blue light mode (trackball+power) and phone will charge if connected by USB--but is never recognized by ADB or fastboot.

Wait 5-10 minutes, "yellow arrow coming from box" equals unpack and flash. Phone should finish this process.
Try to load into hboot-mode: turn phone off (remove battery and place it back if bootlooping), then turn on by pressing Volumedown + power
In this mode you can flash full official rom in sappimg.zip format (or sappimg.nbh if you have 32b magic)
If phone doesn't load into any mode (except trackball + power) - then you have brick and only jtag can help.

But, it goes to a black screen about ten seconds after that.. sadly I think it needs to be jtagged and i will just give it away for parts.
I also tried the sapphire image trick, no luck.

those all sound like bricks..

problem with 32b - looping after rom.
Believe me, I tried a lot here and on google before posting here.
I tried to install a ROM on my htc magic 32b and certainly was not what I should.

I've read very, very much. I read that I have to change the SHIP for ENG.
Also read about ruu, but I found a will for my device, nor know how to run.
First of all, my phone is only on LOOP. I can normally access the fastboot USB.
But does not accept commands, I believe it because of S-ON.
I do not know how to install an img it to get S-OFF.
Could someone help me get back my life device?
Thank you and with the help of google translator.

huahua!!!!

[Q] Installing custom firmware problem

I have a HTC Magic which i got from amazon just recently. I'm guessing that its from Etisalat since their logo boots up with the phone. Anyways, I'm have trouble entering recovery mode. After holding the home+power button for it to turn on, it just sits on Etisalat boot screen. I have no idea what to do. :'( On a side note, what do you think would be the best custom rom to install?

Just need SPL-info from your phone
1. Turn phone off
2. Turn on by pressing and holding Back + Power
3. Write first 5 strings with ALL symbols here

I found this thread but it seems the question is still unanswered. My HTC Magic also came from etisalat company (I bought it from Newegg.com in US though). The problem are 1. the phone is in Arabian language and I found no way to change it 2. there is NO Android Market App!! 3. I can't delete or download new applications. All applications the phone has are ones for Arabian people.. like praying app.. !!
I can't find Android Market application.. that's weird, isn't it? This phone is not smart, it's like a dead phone. I can't download apps.
I did what you suggested, I got this:

I'm thinking.. should I just replace the phone with the manufacturer? If this phone has been unlocked in a wrong way. Or I should play around with the root and try to upgrade the phone. Most of the comments and instruction online are for T-mobile ones. Seriously, I don't know if all HTC magic (like T-mobile and Etisalat) would have the same hardware.
P.S. I bought this unlocked phone to use with a prepaid sim card without data plan.
Please advice!
