[Help] Is my phone bricked?

Hi all,
I dunno if any of my steps goes wrong, but my phone keeps showing the startup screen without any further action. Before it keeps auto boot and after I removed the usb cable it wont auto boot now. But i cant go to fastboot page by pressing back+power and i cant go to recovery page by home+power as someone suggested.
All i did is:
- fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.1H.img
- choose Apply sdcard:choose zip and select update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2004-signed.zip
My previous SPL version is (HK HTC Magic):
SAPPHIRE PVT32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009(SAPP10000)
CPLD-12

As far as you can get into fastboot page, your device is not bricked.
You still have chance to give a life to your unit .
Don't worry, and search this forum then you will learn what to do.
Good luck, Lucky guy!

not sure if this will help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552045

Its Bricked! I had the same problem and had to order another one from tmobile!

[Q] HTC Magic rebooting on TIM Splash Screen

Hello guys
I think my phone is bricked. But I will post here what I did and wait if any of you can help me (sorry for my bad english).
My phone specs are:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

Well, some days ago I just rooted my phone using Androot and I have no problem with that. So, today I just downloaded and installed the ROM Manager.
I installed the clockwork recovery and selected the option to backup my ROM, I put a name to backup file and my phone just got rebooted.
But the phone just do not complete the reboot, it just shows me the "TIM" (Brazillian) splash screen and reboot again, and stays on this loop.
I simply can't get on fasboot mode neither get on recovery mode, i got no chance, it just shows me the splash screen and reboots again.
I tried to make it with fastboot (Android SDK) but i got no response:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot reboot
< waiting for device >
Any idea to solve my problem? Or i have to go to technical assistance?

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.
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:
D:\adb\tools>fastboot devices
?╞ñ?¿╥§?4:¶♫ fastboot

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.
Information from my device:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
Hboot-1.33.0013 (SAPP30000)

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!!!!

You have a PVT 32B board instead of a PVT 32A board. Sorry but I think its bricked.

What manual did you follow? Google did not find this file "vf_magic_frg83d_aim1_nohboot_s_2.zip" even.
Did you try remove battery and place it back and then loaded into mode?

If you can not load into any mode - you have a *BRICK*
It's impossible to restore via software methods
Search for repair-shop and ask master about JTAG (it is hardware with ability to flash SPL directly)

Will do bro.
Thanks for help

[Q] Magic 32B - No fastboot / Hboot / recovery plz help !!!!

i bought a htc magic of a friend to update ,it came with android 1.5,its 32b radio w/o 3.5mm jack,i successfully rooted it and installed recovery also ,then i collected radio,spl and cm update zips from cynogenmod site,after flashing radio 2.2xx its strucked it "HTC MAGIC" screen NOT going in fastboot Not in recovery also,,
INITIALLY it came with-
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010(SAPP******)
CPLD-10
RADIO-3.22.20.17
JUN 2 2009;17:27:03
after flashing that radio i don't know
I do have little idea about flashing rom ,i've did it to my GT540,but i guess i've bricked this HTC magic.
plz any one can provide solution??

What you can try:
- remove battery for some time (5 minutes or whatever) and press power - then get the battery back in and try to start it again
- start the phone with Home+Back+Power or Menu+Back+Power (don't remember), in my case there was a menu to erase cache and so on, maybe this would work for you
- is your phone listed in "fastboot devices" when you power on your phone with Vol down+Power, Back+Power, Power, Home+Power or the combination from above? I read that some people are already in fastboot-mode when they see the logo, shown for example here (they had red text on red vodafone-logo):
http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...oter-vodafone-bildschirm-geloest-dsc00624.jpg
If not...
Does bluelight-mode work (i think it's trackball+power)? If so you can get it running with JTAG - you just need somebody who has the equipment and so on.

ya t going in bluescreen mode , but no logo , and now what should i do??

Please read my first post again and tell me if something of the rest i told you is working.
