allmost dead MAGIC - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Hi there - Hope you can help me
2 weeks ago i got an HTC MAGIC with HERO ROM installed
I tryid to get a original MAGIC ROM in it, but it didn´t work.
Found a HTC HERO ROM at this site and tryid to install it, but all my MAGIC is doing now, is turn on - show the picture i have set as background - and after 2 to 5 sek. a little "screen" pops up and it says =
SORRY, The process android.process acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again
How can i get my MAGIC to work again ? With MAGIC ROM or HERO ROM (Thats not important)
I can´t get into the menu, so i can´t switch on/off anything.
Hope oyu can help me

your flashing a bad ROM
turn your phone off and reboot into recovery
wipe everything... flash a real man's ROM and reboot

did you remember to wipe before you flashed the new rom?

Hi again
No i didn´t wipe anything, i dont know how to ?
My MAGIC can´t do anything
In fastbootmode (Back + power) there are =
1.(Vol down) Hboot mode
2. (Send) Reset device (Dont know witch botton)
3. (Action) Restart to Hboot (Dont know witch botton)
4. (Menu) Power down
When i just turn the MAGIC on normally, i cant get it to do anything, but show the popup window, saying: SORRY, The process android.process acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again
I have tried alot with Windows Mobile, but never with Android - And iam lost

turn your phone off
turn it back on holding home button + power/end button
you should enter recovery mode

even with windows mobile they recomend u wipe after a rom install lol

Do this, it will ebter you into recovery mode, in which you can wipe esrything you need to before reflashing a new rom.
turn your phone off
turn it back on holding home button + power/end button
you should enter recovery mode

Thank you

Any help will be perfect
All it can do now (That i know) is;
Turn on with errors and can´t do anything
Or
Turn on in fastboot mode (Crying smiley)

1. Hold down the HOME button (picture of a house)
2. Press and hold Power/End (red key) until you get some type of boot logo
3. Release Power/End but keep holding HOME
4. Hold HOME until you boot in to Recovery
If you get no Recovery, then you have no custom Recovery installed and you will need to look in to installing one. If you do get in to Recovery, let us know what version it is.

I have tried what you said (1 to 4) but all it does is show HTC MAGIC in screen.
I have tried to hold both bottons down up to 2 min. - Nothing happaens.
But how do i install anything when the MAGIC can´t do anything
I have tried to install RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_305401 but computer and MAGIC won´t se eachother...... Tell me to check USB connection, but drivers are install and i can se the MAGICs SDcart on my computer.
Iam am SO confused

Sounds like you have attempted to install an official ROM on a previously rooted device. That means you would have lost the custom recovery that was on there.
Boot back to FastBoot and tell us what Radio and SPL you have....

In screen it says;
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
H-BOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17

OK, you are going to have to use ADB. Do you know how to use it? Do you have it installed? Google "Android SDK" to find it and install it.
Once you have adb installed, conenct your phone and boot in to Fastboot (hold Back and press Power), once in Fastboot plug in your USB cable, your screen should say "FASTBOOT USB". In a command prompt on your pc, from the fast boot directory (typically c:/Android/Tools) type "adb devices", it should return your device id. If it does, you are good to go to follow the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239
From the "Downgrade (Revert back to) 32A 3.22 Radio and SPL" section.
You are very close to having a brick where you currently are, so tread lightly friend. Verify these directions I have given you, but that is the route I would take if I were in your shoes.

Help me plz .... I'm confused ...
That ain't no brick. You're in the recovery console. You have to hit a buton combination to get out of it.
Press one of the volume keys together with the power on button (red phone). I think it was those. Could be another combo though.
Still not working sir I used vol down + power not happend anything, when vol up + power my tattoo start blank screen and green led indicator only ...
Hy!
I can (very cheap) buy a HTC Tattoo which is broken.
The problem is (seller says) : When he try to turn on HTC Tattoo its just vibrating.
Can anyone say me is it hardware or software problem?
(Sorry for my bad english I am from Croatia.)
Hi, the easiest option is to remove the battery n replace it, then turn the phone on. The other option is to keep pressing the buttons home and call end, together.

Hi, is the display working? Well, there might be many defects in the phone or might not be... its like a gamble, you can buy the phone and get it repaired, it might cost you a lot. The call is yours.

I'dont know is display working.
But it seems to me like a software problem.
Is there a hard reset or turning Tattoo in DFU mode (something like that) for flashing?
Thank you for answering.

help... mine is like that too.. now i can't make goldcard:
F:\tatoo\tools>adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
adb server is out of date. killing...

i get ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR
I've downloaded (recovery-RA-tattoo-v1.6.2.img) but i don't know how to flash it...
If you cant get your adbd on the phone working, you could try to go over jtag to get a shell. But first download the android sdk from google and try the adb in there.
little development....
I managed to get these options(see attachment) pressing HOME+END after boot, but i can't select any options...
I tried to press every button and i can't enable the selection or move up/down the selection...
Some help here please...

Sorry for the late response, you can go to the boot screen by pressing the home button and end button together... This method will only work if the phone is rooted. Else, create a Gold card and get into the fast boot mode by pressing vol down and end button simultaneously lemme know if it worked.

Madaleno, looking at the attachment it shows that your phone is not rooted, which means that you cant apply update via SD card.. it will give u an error message. Create a gold card by grabbing a smart phone from someone, it can be windows mobile or android based.... Once a gold card is created, you can flash a stock ROM. To navigate on the menu, based on ur attachment, use volume up and down keys and call button to select.
If it is not rooted maybe you still have warranty for the phone so you can send it to free service.
Well... no warranty...
And volume up/down does nothing...

You don't need your tattoo to make a gold card.
Ask someone with a Android device, and put you sd card and do it.
Cheers
Got GOLD!
I've used a symbian to read CID and created a goldcard
Can someone give me some guidelines what to do next?
With your phone turned off, press power + volume down buttons at the same time.
Then wait a litle and press back until appears "FASTBOOT" in the screen.
Then connect the usb cable and flash the stock ROM.

Hi.
Saw your post and couldn't help but notice that it is indeed in the wrong section.
My question to you is 1. What were you doing before previously encountering this problem?
and 2. What version of Clockworks Recovery were you trying to place on the phone?

Its an old recovery which will not work with gingerbread roms. Download the correct one from here.
Rename to recovery.img and place in your platform-tools folder.
Put you phone in to bootloader and select fastboot.
Connect phone to PC, open a cmd prompt and navigate to your platform tools folder.
In cmd line type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once recovery.img has finished flashing select recovery using the volume down and power button on the phone

Thanx for assisting. Seems like you beat me to it. I figured that the recovery img mist have been some old version cuz I had similar problems and then realized some fine lines in reading the roms post.
EDIT: Sounds like he may still have S-ON or the SD Card may have one of the PCENG10.zip or so files (cant remember the proper filename but I hope you get what i mean >,< )

i9000 Can't get into HBOOT

So my friend rooted and flashed CWM on his Galaxy S i9000, then he wasnt happy so he tried to restore the old backup. It gave him an error, now the phone is stuck in bootloop. The problem is that he cant get back into HBOOT either because Power+Vol UP+Home doesnt work. Any ideas guys?

try a different combination of keys ( Vol down+home+power or home+power )
Failing which use easy reboot recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796807

ok, try battery pull and reinsert method for download mode
1) Press and hold (volume down+home key+power button)
2) insert the battery
by ruaylau
Did you ever get into to Download Mode or Recovery Mode before you stuck?
Yeah, I accessed the recovery with Vol Up + Power + Home, but only when the phone was booted up fully. He was trying to restore the old ROM in CWM but it gave him error flashing boot image, then he restarted the phone and got the bootloop problem, so theres no way to restart it into HBOOT. I will try your method xsenman, have to wait till sunday so the phone gets here. If anyone has some other tips, I would appreciate it.

May be you bricked your phone. You can try solutions mentioned below:

It's not bricked..if you're seeing anything on the screen, it should be recoverable. And even hard bricked phone can be saved with the UnBrickablemod.

Okay heres the thing. Easy Reboot Recovery does nothing, just opens and closes, I guess since it kinda doesn't recognize the USB from the phone. Then I used SGS Rescue Kit, launched OneClick.jar, connected the phone, clicked unsoft brick and it said Sucessful, the phone started showing the Samsung logo, but then nothing happens. Tried Easy Reboot Recovery again, but nothing. Any ideas?
Can you still access download mod ( Volume Key down + Menu + Power ) ?
If yes you can download a stock ROM that includes PIT PDA PHONE CSC and BOOTLOADER files, this page contains links to all theses files :
http://www.androidgen.fr/tutoriel-s...id-gingerbread-2-3-6-odin-article-2110-2.html
Now once you download these files just start Odin and put:
s1_odin_20100512.pit in PIT

[Q] My Defy is bricked, can't seem to get phone to show ClockWorkMod

Hi Everyone,
I seem to have "bricked' my Defy!
My intention was to put CM10 Android 4.1.2 for the Defy ROM on, and everything seemed to work during the installation, however now the phone won't boot past the "Motorola Symbol", or the "little Android Man with the triangle and exclamation mark (floating above him!)" - depending on whether or not I try to enter the boot menu.
These are the steps that I followed -
1). Rooted with SuperOneClick
2). Installed bootmenu & the ClockWorkMod recovery (using the second half of this page for instructions)
3). Flashed froyo (kernel-froyo-222-179-4-signed.zip)
4). Wiped data / factory reset + wiped cache parttion
5). Installed ROM from zip file (on the SD card)
The mistake that I think I made was not rebooting enough between the steps, e.g.: flashing froyo, wiping, installing ROM, etc. I probably should have rebooted between every step above (the wisdom of retrospect!!!).
At any rate I cannot boot the phone into bootmenu / clockworkmod, instead I just get the little android guy, with the hovering exclamation mark contained within an ominous triangle! There are no options on the screen, and physically pressing the volume up / down, and / or power button has no effect.
Suggestions on how to get clockworkmod back are highly sort after.
Kind Regards,
Davo
Do it correctly from the begining:
start RDSlite and choose appropriate sbf.-> power off the phone -> press vol up and power for 3 sec. ->release power ->attach USB cable and wait till connect ->flash sbf ->with superoneclick do the root ->copy the ROM+gapps+(optional) custom kernel to sdcard -> install 2ndinitdefy v2.3 apk-> reboot ->run 2init -> reboot in bootmenu (or press vol- when blue LED) -> from custom recovery wipe data/cache, wipe dalvik(from advanced) ->install ROM and gapps +(optional custom )kernel in that order ->wipe again cache and dalvik ->reboot ->enjoy
Encountered a driver error but overcame it...
Hi pgreed,
Thank you very much for your time and effort. When I connected my Defy, at this point in your instructions -

I think that I bricked it even more...!
Hi pgreed,
I have successfully flashed sbf using RSD Lite, however now my phone won't boot at all. I can't get it to power up, the light won't even come on unfortunately. If I plug the phone into a power outlet and push the power button a white light comes on, but otherwise nothing.
I think that I may have truly bricked it this time! Any further help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Davo

You can't brick defy so easy. Pull out the battery and put it back with the vol- pressed. If nothing appear keep press the vol- button and press the power for 3-5 sec. depress power and keep press vol- until the boot menu (defy recovery) appear. From there do a wipe of data/cache and dalvik and reboot.
If unluckly nothing happen in 2-3 minute then do another flash of sbf (attention of which sbf you use!!).
Thanks again - unfortunately the only screen that I get up when pressing the various volume button / power button combinations is one with a little green "android man", above him is floating an ominous triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle! ~
Got there in the end...
Hi pgreed,
Thanks for all of your help, I got there in the end, wherever there is...! LOL
At any rate your instructions are the ones that I will follow in future, and I won't be bothering with ADB or typing any commands at a command prompt.
Ultimately I had to try a couple of different sbf files before coming across one that would play nice.
To enter the recovery menu I had to press both the up / down volume buttons, and the power button all at once, but I suspect that this was due to the specific sbf file that I installed.
Anyway all said and done I now have a Defy with CM10 and gapps for Jellybean. Was it all worth it, highly debatable - but I am passing the phone onto a friend, so hopefully he will enjoy it more than his current old school phone.
I will continue to stick with my HTC Sensation, which in my mind is a pretty hard phone to beat!
Kind Regards,
Davo
Nice to see that you manage to do it. Just the record: when you have those android robot with triangle if you've pressed both vol + and - the recovery menu has to appear.
Yes, the ADB method is correct, but is more prone to give headache.

[Q] Bricked? LG E612G

So I have a LG E612G from Chilean company Claro.
I have the bootloader unlocked, and I was using Cyagenmod beta for android 4.3, but the phone has a lot of lag and issues so I decided to go back to stock, so I downloaded the KDZ file and KDZ updater beside all the drivers needed, I have tried with several KDZ:
V20G_00
V20C_00
V20A_00
V10E_00
V10D_downgrade
I have tried using the KDZ updater in DIAG or emergency mode (I just haven't been able to get t he phone to download mode and not to emergency mode), but every time I get the same result, the phone reboot, makes the start sound and the LG logo appears on the screen (with an animation on the border of the "face") and thats all, the animation goes in to a loop and nothing happen even after a while.
I dont't know what else to do, I have followed both unbrick guides that appear here and they aren't working.
I have google the issue and everyone has been able to get their phone working again, I have tried with e612g and e610 kdz to see if that make any difference and nothing.
I don't know if this is important but every time that I have used the KDZ I remove the micro SD from the phone
Please I beg you, help me
P.S: I apologyze for my english as is not my native lenguage

First of all friend, as far as I know nothing can be done to unbrick a phone. If it can be fixed, its not a brick.
Can you get into cwm? (Power + Vol up + home and release power after beep on my phone.)

Now, He is able to boot in "recovery mode", But it's not a custom recovery like he used to have. It boots up in "LG service (Recovery mode)".

You can still try a hard reset..
When the phone is switched off, press and hold the Volume down key + Power key with your left hand.
When the LED on the bottom of the phone lights up, release Volume down key + Power keys and press and hold the Home key (for about 2 seconds) at the same time.
The phone will turn on and perform a factory reset immediately.
Do not operate your phone for at least a minute, while the hard reset is carried out.
You will then be able to switch your phone back on.​
Guys, it works, so if you ever came down here (I mean Chile) I will buy you a beer.
It now have android 4.1.2 and everything is working again
Thanks

with a locked bootloader on stock you can boot into download mode/emergency mode and hard reset
to boot into a custom recovery like cwm you must unlock the bootloader:good:
