I can't understant why doing that the device has unbricked, I probably must do the same.
anyone else tried?
is this really working???
can anyone other than the OP confirm this works? what showed up on the screen when it was bricked? Did it have the 'arrow coming out of the box' symbol, when the phone was switched on?
i did nt get big arrow or anything my phone wouldnt boot period all i kept getting was a blue light no fastboot or adb would work until i did this the only reason i tried it was because someone mentioned to me to replace the track ball i dont know why but it worked
Did you happen to remove the little battery when you did this?
no i only disconnected the cable leading to track ball the if u look where the track ball is you can pry and pop out the track ball i did it just to look around in there ...i am not a tech but i do have a basic understanding of somethings and i think for some reason in my situation it may have reset something i really dont know but my phone was a brick for half a day with me trying to use google as my friend typing away at fastboot and adb commands only to get nothing ..but when one person told me i may need a new track ball i just decided to look inside on how that a bad flash would effect the track ball but i did what i did and i am back using my phone but i did notice one thing today i had put my phone in fastboot and the normally when it loads those command or whatever about loading img. ...its now saying no image
Thanks, I will try this. Unfortunately I gave away my battery and cable... I still have doubts about this helping me, as I flashed the wrong radio. Where as you just flashed a bad update.
did u use a 32b radio

hi,
quick question. my friend rooted the phone and then flashed hardSPL but i think it was the wrong one. the last thing we saw was a box with a arrow on it and the phone has been dead ever since.
was this the same for you ? we would love to be able to unbrick his phone.
brick
hi,
i have a 32b magic, and since yesterday it just doesn't startup anymore.
i just get a black screen, with backlight on. (also no adb/fb/recovery)
if i hold trackball while power on, i get the blue led
i've searched, but haven't found any similar problem, cause i don't get that box with an arrow.
to unbrick this, you just disconnected the trackball?
pls be more specific
HEEEELLPPP!

Sounds like you erased or flashed an invalid SPL (usually people brick into boot mode 3 where the radio + SPL works but is forcing the boot of a broken recovery image) Thus the user becomes stuck at the splash screen.
Regardless if blue light mode woks and nothing else will boot [and you are not stuck in blue light mode]:
the only option at this point in time is using JTAG to force an engineering SPL to load.. then use that to fix the rest of the phone.

The OP likely had a stuck trackball.
Holding the trackball when you power on puts you in the blue-led mode and doesn't let you do anything else. Being in blue-led mode doesn't mean you are bricked, it's just a mode in which the phone can start up. If the op's trackball got "stuck", it would explain his problem. Replacing the faulty trackball likely is what solved his problem.
It would be nice if the OP could update the first entry to reflect as much.
If your phone isn't voluntarily going into blue-led mode on it's own, this "fix" likely won't do anything for you. You still have a brick... like me

hi terry ...
quick question.
the jtag de-bricking that everyone is mentioning is said to work with g1/dream/g2 ... is this also possible with the magic(sapphire) 32A ?
like i said my friend bricked his loading hardSPL and the phone is charging and i can get into the blue led mode no problem.
if it is possible would the pinouts be the same or similar for the magic? i am quite keen to give it a bash if i can be pointed in the right direction.
thanx in advance.
Thank for you response
but i didn't flash any new spl or something else.
i had my phone working fine with spl/radio/rom.
but then i shut down, and after that i couldn't power up
i reboot my working magic with froyo and then is dead.
its keeps rebooting and no fastboot or recovery mode only if i press trackball and on the phone i got blue led, any solutions ???
Regards Sn00py
But what exactly was the problem, when you turned it on it automatically turned the blue led or did that happen when you pressed the trackball+power? im going to try to debrick my magic now but must it be on with the blue led or off?

Who are you asking, the OP? They just had a stuck trackball, so they couldn't boot normally.
It doesn't matter, just continue.

after flashing ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip and SPL 1.33.2005 i rebooted the bootloader using the code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
But now my problem is that the Magic will not boot no matter how i try to boot it. i have taken the battery out and put back in several times but still no lock.
When the phone is plugin charger the LED light shows that it is charging but when i try to switch it on, the LED light goes off and nothing happens.
Can someone please help me with this
Actually you've flashed à 32B Radio on your 32A
If you can't boot into fastboot mode (holding back+power), recovery mode (home+power) or hboot mode (vol.down+power) and your phone is not recognized when connected to the PC then there isn't anything you can do, unfortunately. You can't get into any of these modes right?
you are right i cant get into any of those modes.
Is there nothing that can be done? no hard reset or some fix? i dnt mind opening the phone.
is there no parts i can replace to get it to work?
I hate to bring bad news but once you're locked out like this I'm afraid that only HTC can help... I'd try to get the phone replaced if it's under warranty.
the warranty is over.
since i can repair it as i have a few times and i have opened it and changed a few things like the screen.
cant i change the logic board or something or any part to get it working.
i mean cant i replace the radio chip or something like that.
sorry it sounds like i am just carrying on but i believe there is a way to make it work.
What have you repaired for it? (Just curious)
Isn't this a software problem, not a hardware? I don't see how opening it can really help unless you change up everything inside I could be wrong though.. But seeing as how you flashed the incorrect Radio, I don't see how changing that chip could help at all really.
I really don't think there is anything left you can do.. But again, I could be wrong! I don't know everything about the phone lol
i mean if i was to get another board from another htc magic or even buy it as a part and change my one.
or cant those parts be bought?
I dunno if you can buy that or not, but if you were to do that... It sounds almost like getting a whole new phone lol
I have the 1.2 version of the mytouch with the jack on the top. Here is what happened.
I followed the unlockr's guide to root the phone properly. I made the gold card with the files and such. I was then able to boot into fastboot and hboot to flash the files over. In the middle of the flash my chair caught my usb cable and the phone fell to the floor and the battery came out in the middle of the flash.
I can plug it in and the amber light comes on to charge the battery apparently. I hold the volume key and power and i get a red flashing light on the led. I try to put any key combination and it just gives me the flashing red led with nothing on the screen.
Now here is the kicker, if i hold the power and trackball a blue led comes on the phone. I have searched everywhere and have no clue what this means. I think i might be up the creek without a paddle, but again this is THE COMMUNITY to get info from. Does anyone have any words of wisdom or do i have a nice touch screen paperweight on my hands.
I think what happened is i flashed the wrong radio to it and it possibly bricked it. Any help is appriciated even if it is bricked. thanks
sorry put it in the wrong thread. Started in general

Sorry man.. But pulling the battery in the middle of a radio and SPL downgrade... Your phone is done. I suggest going in for a replacment telling them you left it in thr dcar in the heat, dropped it or something liek that. There is no fixing it if you can no longer get into fastboot. This is why I changed my tut to tell everyone that the ONE click Universal Androot program roots our phones minus that whole guide.
Sorry
Thanks for replying. I have been trying everything. Now i know its a brick and dont have to beat my head off the desk trying to figure it out. Ill see if i can get it replaced. I dont know if they would be able to tell i tried to root it if it will not even turn on.
Please forgive me if this has been posted. I searched but could not find or I am using the wrong things to search by.
When ever I perform a soft reset the phone vibrates 6 times and then does nothing. The LED light is a solid green, but the phone does not power back on. I have to pull the battery to get it to work. However, I can power off the phone and power back on with no problems. Any ideas what is going on?

I know you probably do not want to hear this but sounds like you might need to do a Hard Reset.

Tried that and it did not work. I actually came across this problem while trying to HSPL my phone. When I ran HSPL3 and the phone attempted to boot into bootloader it would shut off and when it turned back on I got the 6 vibrations and the solid green light and no tri color screen.
So I loaded bootloader on my own, flashed HSPL3 and then flashed custom ROM. All was working fine until I had to softrest due to an app instal. When the phone reset it did it again with the vibrations and green light. I had to pull battery and then power on.
Thought maybe a bad flash or bad HSPL, so reverted back to stock via SD card and on stock ROM I took back cover off and reset via the yellow button and same thing.
The weird thing is that in boot loader mode at the top of the screen in capital letters it says "SECURITY UNLOCKED". Saw this before I tried HSPL. This is a warrenty replacement phone and my original did not say that.
I can power off and power back on with no problems and that is what I will do, but it bothers me that soemthing else may be wrong with thsi replacement phone that I don't know of.
My computer crashed while trying to flash a new radio image to my HTC Magic, and now, whenever I start it, all I see is an image of a box with an arrow pointing to a phone laying beside it. After a couple of seconds the screen goes black, but there's still background lightning, and after a while there are some weird graphical artifacts. Do anyone know what this means? Can it be fixed or have I bricked the phone?
Can you get into fastboot or recovery?
No, any key combination gives exactly the same result as powering up normally.
Sorry, looks like your bricked
Well, that's unfortunate ... Thanks for your help, though.
Hello, first off I will say I am a total novice when it comes to messing with my phone as my upgrade is in a month so I took the plunge and all was well at first. I used SuperOneClick to root my Flipside which runs Froyo 2.2.2. I deleted the bloatware as that was my main goal. This all took place about 2 weeks ago, and no problems existed.
Yesterday when I was reading a simple text message my flipside automatically reset itself and became lodged at the Motorola M logo. I've had this issue in the past before rooting so I just removed the battery in hopes all would work well as before, sadly that wasn't the case. My phone then booted up and only the backlight appeared on the screen causing it to become stuck in the infinite bootloop. I've tried all the different hard resets with the x button and power button, the volume down button, etc. None of them work as only the backlight comes up on my screen so I can't see anything. Is there any way to unroot it or flash it back to stock?
If any of my terminology seems out of place then sorry, I honestly have not a slightest idea what to do nor what is occurring other than the bootloop.
Any help is appreciated and can you please dumb down the answer for me if possible. Thanks!

Yup just rsd the sbf back. You will lose everything however so hopefully you've got a backup somehow. Here's the sbf
http://db.tt/H2RuCD8h
Okay so I've downloaded RSD Lite, and I have the file. The problem is I cannot get my phone into bootloader mode or recovery mode so that it will stop the infinite bootloop to stay connected to my computer. Advice?

I've had a similar problem as you with my flipside. Are you sure you're using the right key combination to get into rsd mode? If you can at the very least get it into bootloader mode by holding down the volume + key while holding the power button, I'm sure you can get it into rsd mode.

Theres a post here somewhere that has the combo of keys needed to get into bootloader mode. Sorry dont have it saved. Just do a search for it
Okay well I believe I found the thread you were talking about. It mentioned holding the up arrow on the keyboard combined with the power button for 4 seconds. Still nothing. I've tried the x button and power button, the volume up and power button. The thing is my screen won't work period. Nothing shows up but the backlight. So maybe I can or did get it to rsd or bootloader mode, but I can't really tell. I feel like something isn't right here. So I still can't connect it to my pc to use rsd lite.

Did you by any chance have the stock launcher app frozen and using a different launcher? Just seems if you are seeing the backlight that possibly it is on the home screen but the launcher is corrupt? Not sure.
I'm not entirely sure. I assume it's stuck in the bootloop because when I power it on the backlight changes shades and then vibrates to signal the screen past the motorola M. Then I can touch the screen and feel a vibration to simulate to slide to unlock and if my usb cable is attached my computer makes the noise to signal it sees my device, but moments later my computer dings to signal device disconnected and my phone goes through the above process again.
I feel as if I can get to the factory reset screen and such because if I time it right I can stop it from doing anything mentioned above and it just hangs as if in a menu of some sort. The downfall is I see nothing and the backlight only appears.
I may just have to scrap it and say well done phone. I can't seem to find a similar issue anywhere on the internet. All the other issues can make the bootloader screen appear and that appears to be my number on problem.
I guess I was just being a complete idiot and thought I had removed my SD card when I didn't. Well now it can connect to my pc so I can flash it. I hope all goes well. I flash it then it should be back to factory settings right?

Yes like straight out the box. The backlight issue just seems to me like a launcher problem but that wouldn't explain why you can't get into bootloader mode. Hmmm strange. Here is another way I just thought of. If it connects to the computer (you said you hear the beep) reflash it via Motorola's site. All the instructions should be there (if they still support it)
Well I was able to flash it using RSD Lite. I could hear the start up tone and such (progress), but unfortunately my screen still won't show anything. I'm assuming the worst and maybe say hardware failure as to why the screen won't boot up? It randomly disappeared when it first went into bootloop and has never come back so that is why I assumed no working screen was a software issue.

Yup that sounds like hardware failure. Haven't ever heard of the screen going out on the flipside but the atrix forums are full of them. Maybe you can get your upgrade early. Good luck
