HBOOT
<BACK> FastBoot Mode
-------------------------------------------
When I click this back button nothing happens.
When I click the trackball nothing happens. you probably get the point.
Any suggestions??
is she out of warranty? if not send it in (i assume she is though lol)
and can u hold home+power and try to factory reset? if those fail, maybe just root it and install a diff rom
Maybe someones experienced this before and can help, im not too sure
One last thing! Make sure the back button isnt stuck down! haha cause if it is, thats whats booting u in fastboot
she is out of warranty lol
there are no buttons stuck down that was the first thing i checked
and im going to root the phone now.
she has the older mytouch 3g w/o the 3.5mm head jack, do i still need to do the goldcard ?
yep you need it to downgrade to 1.5 then root
alright man thanks a lot
idk if this will help at all and i dont wanna say something that doesnt work, so plz if anyone sees this and disagrees, plz comment
n e ways, i have the original mytouch 3g, no 3.5mm jack either...and for me to unroot i use the method from theunlockr . com (no spaces) heres the link
http://theunlockr. com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/
what you do is place the image on sdcard and then boot by holding volume key down and power, and wait for a sec, then follow directions on screen... and yes i kno your stuck in fast boot mode, but hey maybe there will be a fluke and it will allow you to do this... sorry if this is just non-sense and doesnt pertain to you...

He hosed the radio. The 6.35.10.18 radio is for actual 32A devices. Read through this post and the light will come on. You may be able to get the radio changed back by following the instructions in this post.
well i have tryed that sapp b4 just get to Radio V2 and sits there updating for last time i try till it went dead...i can get to fastboot hboot but not recovery
well tryed again lastnite and well sat at updateing Radio_V2 at like 90 percent for 3 hours......WHAT AM I TO DO?
Can you still get into recovery? With the phone off, turn it on holding home+power.
that takes me to the splash screen tryed.. im gonna try now that i have sd drive to use the gold card
well that didnt work hung up at thr radio_v2
Well if you can borrow a friends phone to make a goldcard, then just follow the old school guide in my sig. Hopefully it wont fail writing the radio which is what I'm thinking will happen.

What radio did you try flashing? Either way, your going to have to flash a proper Engineering SPL that'll work with that radio, then flash the new radio, then the correct SPL. What are you showing in fastboot now?

You need to get the stock SPL back on there. Flash recovery from fastboot, then flash the correct SPL, and then reboot. BE CAREFUL, if you flash the wrong SPL you may brick your phone. Give me about an hour and I'll link the correct files.

THANK YOU......i now have it back to stock had to get the right radio then i used ruu so we are back to stock.....now to root it which why do u recommend......the old or new way?
Download this, put it on the root of your SD card. With the phone booted, download/install "Appinstaller" from the market. Use it to install Universal Androot, then run the app, which will root your phone. Once Universal Androot root's your phone, start at Step #6 from this guide.
Hi, unfortunately I will have to ask for help as I can't find a solution myself.
Until today i ran CyanogenMod 6.1 on my Vodafone HTC Magic and wanted to flash GingerYoshi on it.
Therefore I followed this guide to install a new radio and hboot which seemed to be necessary for the GingerYoshi Rom. According to the guide I used the RA-Recovery 1.7 to flash the SuperWipe_v2.zip, rebooted into RA-Recovery again, flashed the radio.zip, rebooted ... into nothing but the vodafone Logo on red background. At the first boot it showed a little box with an arrow pointing to an Android-Robot and then it stuck at the vodafone screen.
I can't get into fastboot (Back + Power) or any other mode (Volume Down + Power) it only boots to the red vodafone screen. The only action I can provoke is a black screen and a blue led when pressing the trackball during power up.
Any ideas what to do now? Did I really screw my telephone?

Yes you did... the reason is simple.
When you flash a radio using the custom recovery, you have to wait like 2 min for it finish. It's normal that it will reboot a couple of times while it's flashing, and it's also normal to see a different picture for a while....
You ( this what I believe) just did not wait long enough for it to finish and tried to push a button or take out the battery...
So, yes, you are bricked!
Thats a shame...but when flashing radio and spl, we have to double our attention.
it happens bro, try pull out the batery and wait till tomorrow, and try again, if it doesnt work, it seem you have briked
Thank you for your answers - even though they aren't very encouraging
But mumilover might be right, although I waited quite some time before I started to panic, I obviously acted to early an interrupted the flashing process.
Does anyone know a German shop which can unbrick the device? Otherwise I will have to buy a new phone. In the meantime I will stick to my good old Siemens S45
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.
Hello guys I was having a slight problem here. I recently got a mytouch 3g from a friend. The phone at the moment is flashed with Cyanogen's Android 2.2 froyo. I wanted to upgrade it to Ginger Yoshi's 2.3 rom. I'm a n00b in this stuff but I checked guides on the internet. But whenever I attempt to go into recovery mode, the phone stucks on the boot "green" screen. And nothing happens. Home + Power button does not lead to recovery mode, and just gets stuck on the green screen. I assume my phone is rooted because I entered "SU" in a Terminal Emulator and it started off fine. I'd be grateful if I could be helped here as I want to move to 2.3 asap. Apologies for the n00bish attitude but I know nothing much of flashing as of yet.

If recovery doesn't work then flash it again in fastboot.
Ginger yoshi requires a newer radio and spl. You could flash a kernel to get it to work or upgrade to the new radio and spl. Search is your friend
Well thanks . Since I mentioned that I mega n00b, can you give me a guide over how to reflash? and install a new radio and of course flash a kernel?

Thanks now there's one problem. I have downloaded Android SDK/ADB. Whenever I connect in Debugging mode, ADB device is detected with the serial number however when I go into bootloader for fastboot. It's not detecting it on my pc. Hence I can't seem to fastboot. P.S: The bootloader does say "Fastboot USB" but it's not working. :/
What OS are you using? Linux, Mac OS, or Windows?
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.
my device stop functioning not any key is working phone its not coming up in hboot loader screen by pressing vol down key+power key, not even in recovery mode. by pressing home key+ power key.
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
just like this:

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.

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?
