Hi. I were running a rooted stock rom with the newest radio and spl and ra recovery. I decided to try rom manager(i think thats what its called). I flashed the recovery, i believe it is called clockwork. When i rebooted my phone it just keeps rebooting at the htc logo. I cant enter recovery or anything. Is there a way out of this or can i just throw it in the dumpster?
Can you get into fastboot? Take the battery out and pop it back in. Then try powering on holding down back+power. You should get a screen with three Androids skateboarding. If you can get the port the information here. If you can and it just does the boot loop, do the battery again hitting the back button repeatedly, give that a few tries and see where it gets you.

Thanks for your reply but i cannot get into fastboot either. Ive tried holding every single key while booting xD. It just keeps doing the same thing. Reboot at the "HTC Magic" screen. I hangs for some seconds so ive also tried to see if i could grab it from adb but without success.
same incident happened to me. cannot reboot back at last sent back to htc centre.....

Did they take it back under the warranty? Did you mod your phone?
Do you get the blue led & black screen when pressing trackball + power at boot?
I get blue led but no fastboot or recovery

Can u fix this

So that means your device isn't fully bricked - your hardware seems to be working, and you should be able to restore the device using JTAG (search the forums). Though I managed to restore mine by resetting some stuff with draining battery and repeatedly trying again. I'd recommend you to try too.
Hi,
I turned on the menu and chose HBOOT recovery by accident. He showed me a phone with a red triangle and exclamation point. What to do?
HELP
I pulled the batteries and the system is launched
Remove the battery and reinseart and then boot up as normal

I don't know if the phone is bricked, i sure hope not.
I had cm7 final running just fine. I was installing a kernel from clockwork recovery, and i followed the instructions. It installed, i told it to reboot the phone, it came to the cm7 blue booting screen. it kept repeating that for over 20 minutes. at that point i pulled the battery and replaced it. then i think it was stuck at the tmobile splash screen for a while. i was able to reboot and get to recovery mode again, i wiped cache and tried to install the kernel again, this time got an error. now it went to tmo splash screen and froze there for a while. after another battery pull, nothing will display on the screen and i cannot access recovery mode (i try by holding volume down, then holding power button). the ONLY thing that does happen is that the lcd backlight will stay on until i pull the battery. i plugged into pc without the battery, lcd lights up, but its not recognized by windows or adb.
I'd be grateful for any possible help or ideas, thanks in advance.
Could you give more info on Rom recovery kernel you were attempting etc?

Can you boot into the bootloader? Which one is installed? How can we help if we have no idea what's installed on your phone? There could be hope if you can boot into the bootloader and have the engineering SPL installed.
Also, what kernel were you trying to install?

He did? I only saw that he could not boot into recovery. I was thinking if his recovery is screwed up, he could still use fastboot to flash a new recovery and then be able to wipe and start over. If he can't get into the bootloader or recovery, then yeah, it's the dreaded B word.
I'd really like to know what kernel he was trying to flash.

I was flashing the #107 kernel from this thread:
[Kernel]Gingerbread[2.6.32.36]MaxOC~1.84GHz,Smartass/UV/BFS/BFQ/SLQB-Faux123[Apr-10]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957267
I'm not sure if there's a different procedure to get into hboot as opposed to recovery. I've only had the mytouch 4g for about a week (always had Nexus one before). After pulling and replacing the battery, i hold volume down, then hold power button. Is that how to get into recovery and/or hboot, or is there another procedure I can try?
I used the visionary app to obtain root, install rom manager, then installed clockword mod recovery and cm7 through that. Working fine for a few days until i decided to flash the kernel to get better battery life....

Unfortunatly its the same procedure, hold volume down and power on. So if when u do that nothing happens and adb doesn't work your phone is done.

A little more info, maybe good news...i've been trying to get it to do anything for the last few hours. i had the battery out for a while. When i would plug it into AC charger or my pc with no battery, nothing would happen. however now i put in the battery, plugged it into the pc, and NOW the orange charging light is on like its charging...i haven't tried to turn it on or anything yet though.

I'm not sure what the exact status of your phone is, but usually flashing a kernel does not brick the phone. If anything the ROM won't run right or there will be other problems, but never do they prevent the phone from booting into recovery (the recovery partition uses a completely different kernel). When you try turning it on again, don't bother trying to let it boot normally. Hold down power and volume down and see if you can get into recovery. Then run all three wipe options and flash a new ROM.

It's happened to me before where I thought I had completely bricked the phone. It crashed in CM7 RC2 when I tried to mess with the DSP settings. After that, I went through the same situation as you. I got tired of it, left it charging overnight while it was stuck on the splash screen. The next morning, it was on like nothing happened. I'm thinking it just needed to sort itself out. Not really a fix or suggestion, but at least an indication that there is hope.
Nah, its dead man. Not on its entirety but virtually. I know that JTAG could be an option albeit, im not sure.
I can assure you though that there must be something extra u must have missed that caused this, did you play with radio's or SPL's? Cause that is how i bricked a magic lol
blah
mine bricked on restoring. got to the point of not responding to anything - power button and even charge indicator no longer worked.
sorry to hear OP. it's bricked.

By saying that you used the visionary app to obtain root, is that all you did? Then installed rom manager and etc etc etc? Did you go through the full root method to get S=OFF as well?
Well previous to using visionary...i was trying another method to root using the terminal, but it wasn't working, so then i found visionary and used that. I never interacted with the phone using adb, if it matters. If i never really had s=off, could this be why this whole thing happened?

Not really, if you were able to run a custom ROM with no problems before then you were rooted properly. Somwhere after you must have gone wrong, not sure where

No no no no no. Why would you do that? Always see if you can charge it first, whether in recovery, chargeonly mode or bootmenu. Never go straight to a SBF flash.
