Killed my HTC Magic

Hey guys, got a huge problem, I rooted my HTC Magic, it was working and all, but now (I'm using Fatality HERO) it doesn't startup, it gets stuck on the HERO screen. Even worse is my phone turned itself off after saying SD Card corrupted.... and now when I cm recovery, it doesn't recongise the damn SD card, I've tried the reset thing by holding home and back, I'm totally lost. HELP!

32a or 32b?

32B, although I seemed to have fixed it. I dug out the original 2GB MicroSD, put another Fatality ROM on it, and reflashed the ROM on, works now I'm wondering what to do with my 8GB mSD card though. Should I pop it back into my HTC a reformat it? Or will it kill the phone again?

I just use this thing.
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/
Or the built in one in the RAv1.2.1 recovery rom.

Haha fixed that too Lolz!

ok so rather than realize that the sd card was the problem, you rebooted and wiped your phone. the first step you should have taken was to reformat the sd card. when you use the sd card to run apps there is a higher chance of corruption.

Nah, it said the SD was corrupt, wouldn't let me format, then my phone ran out of battery, which was Then my problem started because obv. it doesn't mount the SD card, and my backup image is on there. When I booted up, it got stuck on the HERO screen... blah blah..... Well, it's working now, although, now with a formatted SD, I don't have a backup of my original ROM, which is lame. I was lucky to have a spare SD, or I would have been done for!

MOD EDIT
Thread moved to general discussion as not rom related

The Fatal1ty ROM has a problem with SD cards, every time you mount via USB and then unmount, it tells you the card has corrupted. After you reboot your phone it comes back though. I would use one of the other Hero ROMs instead.

Dont worry mate, your not doomed at all....the buzz kernel has put your phone in a bootloop, you need to flash the rom to fix it, you can flash a ruu (stock rom) or a custom rom which really is the best thing to do...so much faster thank stock...if you like sense then flash leedroids rom...if you like pure android then flash cyanogen...either way you need to put the rom onto your sd card then wipe everything using clockwork recovery...then flash the rom and your phone will be fixed.. If you then want to flash the kernel you should use the kernel utility update software found in the developers forums..
Really dont panic, let us know what rom you wish to flash and I or someone else will help you.

But i can't place the any roms in my sd card cause my phone can't boot up...

rixsta is right, its a boot loop, and what youve done is flashed the kernal onto your phone without doing a full wipe on the phone...
May i ask have you also install CM yet ?

Can you get into fastboot on your phone...
As in turn phone off hold down the bottom volume button and press power on...keep holding the volume button until the bootloader menu comes up...can you see fastboot??

or go into recovery and mount external storage and mount your SD card then itll appear on your PC if connected by USB

Yes true....but maybe using the kernel utility he can re flash the kernel and push the modules using this software....it sometimes works and would save him flashing a new rom and losing his stock one....I would try this first for sure..

Kernel Update Utility
If you go there, youll be able to flash a kernal easily like rixsta said.
If you still run aground, give the forum a buzz and we can see what else we can do...

Download the kernel utility here ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852357&highlight=kernel+utility
Get into fastboot as I said earlier and plug in your usb cable...aahhh the drivers may not install...bet he's not used android-sdk....with a bit of luck he's running windows 7 and they will install anyway..lets say they do..
Follow the utility instructions and flash the kernel...It may fix your bootloop...if not then you are going to have to mount your sd card using recovery and flash a new rom...

snap ......Im sure he needs the android 1.0 driver to use fastboot???....not used android-sdk using the cmd command for a while so I cant quite remember...(yes I know he wont need android-sdk but Im pretty sure the fastboot driver is in with it...
This is why I always say its so important to do a backup using recovery before you do anything !!

Thank you rista and fko!!! You guys are my angels!!

Always do a backup.... You never know whatll get ya
However to save space on my memory card, i store my backups on the PC and if i need to recover, I just put on on the card in the correct folder and its fine
im sure this all fix over now, i would suggest flashing a custom rom... i sooooo bought this phone because the SE X10i's bootloader wast 1024-bit encrypted... and SE aernt letting up lol

MT4G stuck at boot

Okay... my MT4G won't boot up.
I rooted my phone. I have s=off. That's not where the problem lies.
The problem is me being a dumbass. I tried getting the Netflix.apk app to work on my MT4G, and I read a guide where you had to mess around with something from the system file to trick the app into thinking your phone was a Nexus S. So, I tried that, and powered down my phone. Now it won't boot up past the "MyTouch 4G" logo.
I tried booting into safe mode, to see if I could go back in and change it, but it won't let me. Any ideas on how to fix this? Tried a factory restore, didn't work. Also not running a custom rom either - was still using the stock rom.

Reflash a stock-type rom?

This will kill root and S=OFF. I wouldnt advise until we know that he OFFICIALLY borked his rom lol
@OP, What exactly did you edit??
Also, if you dont have a backup, i would try flashing this, its the stock rom + root and its debloated.
Also, factory restore would help because it only wipes /data and /cache
whereas you said you edited something in /system
Hope this helps!!

Yeah that sounds like a better idea, just flash a stock like rom after wiping caches data and system. And once you get it fixed make a backup or two, always a good idea to make one before changing anything important in the phones file system.

Yep, and with nandroid, if something goes wrong with w/e system edit you are trying, you can restore /system only. opposed to wiping/reflashing or restoring the whole backup.
Basically, skv012a had the right idea here lol

And by stock-type I meant pre-rooted stock, maybe even debloated like Orange Glacier.

uh oh. ok, download pd15img, put it on the root of your sd card, and boot into hboot (volume down and power). it will automatically load the file, hit volume up to confirm when it asks, this will put you back to stock.

EDIT: Might also be worth a mention - I put my MicroSD card into an adapter, put it into my laptop, and looked around on the SD card. Found the "boot.prop" file that started the problem, opened it in Word Pad, and edited it so the "Nexus S" and "Samsung" were back to "HTC Glacier" and "HTC". Saved it, tried booting, but to no avail.
Which brings me to my next question, I have a boot.prop file in /system on my SD card, and a boot.prop file on the root of my SD card. Should there be two of these files? I looked at one in Word Pad, and it had a lot of mentions of CyangogenMod on it, even though I bought the phone brand new a month ago and NEVER flashed CM on it.

now the issue unrelated to that file. you are sure you have pd15img.zip on your sd card? it CAN NOT be inside any folders. formatting won't be necessary

Lol, wow. >_> I'm a dumbass. I was unzipping the file, and putting them into the root of my SD card. Not putting just the zip file itself in my SD card.
Deleted all the files off my SD card I put on, re-downloaded the ZIP file, put JUST that on the root of my SD card. It flashed it, saw the bar on the upper-right hand corner do it's work, and pressed the power button when it was done to reboot.
Aaand, still nothing. Phone is still stuck at MyTouch 4G logo, and looping over and over.
'Bout to download this, and try to flash that. Would it matter any? Or have the same effect?

Yea try that then report back GL

Nope, no dice. >_> Couldn't even get hboot to attempt to flash it.

pd15iag.img
Sorry about the double post, just wanted to bump this up and update what I've tried.
1. Someone told me to push a recovery image via ADB
- Tried doing this. ADB recognizes my device, but says it's offline. I'm guessing it's because my phone won't actually boot up. I have to go into recovery mode (still getting red triangle) to get ADB to recognize my device in the first place - once I do that, it just says offline next to it. So I can't push anything via ADB.
2. Tried flashing a stock-like rom
- Last night, I tried flashing PD15IMG and it did nothing. Today, I tried flashing Royal Glacier, but it didn't recognize it. I had it on the root of my SD card (nothing else but that on there now) and it still tries to flash "PD15IAG.img" even though it's not on my SD card and I have no idea what it is. :\
EDIT:
Soooo, yeah. >_> I decided to try a new SD card. Brand new, been sitting around the house for awhile. Bought it at Radioshack when they were on sale. Loaded PD15IMG onto it, put it in, flashed it, and now my phone works. I guess it was a faulty SD card? I dunno. Glad it's working now - thanks everyone for the help.

[Q] Problem with sd card/back to 2.1?/themes?

Hey guys!
I have updated my gt540 from original 2.1 (without fastboot) to 2.3.2 (cyanogen mod 7.0.0 with all stuff that was needed). Since update from 1.6 to 2.1 and then to 2.3.2 I have problems with my sd card. It's Kingston 16gb micro sdhc card. I often get messages "Sd card unexpectedly removed" and then "mounting" immediately after turning on screen. The problem is, that (I think) it happens this removal happens sometimes during preparing card for android and it has made my sd card useless (needed to reformat it, losing all data). This is getting annoying, because of my data and 7gb of music I need to copy every time it's broken, and it happens once-twice every month. I checked slot for sd and put a piece of paper to push card further. Didn't work. So my first question: is it because of android or hardware? Or maybe sd card is too big for this phone?
And another question: is it possible to "revert" my phone to original 2.1 without fastboot?(To make phone look not altered by me [guarantee]) (Of course by 'revert' I mean installing new rom from lg).
I'm little tired with this 2.3.2, it's sometimes rebooting without reason and this particular rom has many apps I don't need.
Also will themes, that are posted here (for 2.1) work with fabric 2.1?
And if not, could you show me a clean rom which will work fast? Also, working radio is appreciated.

Clean ROM
Well... Here's a clean ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182804
Do you want fastboot after flashing the Stock 2.1 ROM?

I had similar problems with card on earlier versions of 2.3.x. I would recommend trying SwiftDroid, it has Android 2.3.5 and some tweaks for SD cards. Since installing that ROM I hadn't a single issue with storage.
Size of the card shouldn't be a matter, because GT540 can use up to 32 GB.

Clean ROMs
Clean ROMs doesn't always mean it's faster. I could be at some times. You could mod CM7 to bypass the speed of a clean ROM. Swiftdroid is not a clean ROM unlike AOSP Froyo which is "Pure Android". I've heard that AOSP Froyo has better battery performance than Swiftdroid, but I'm not sure :/

I'll give froyo a try and then, if problem persists I'd want to flash it to stock 2.1 without fastboot and maybe I'll give it to service.
After I flash it to 2.2 you posted what should I do to get rid of fastboot? Just run lg update which will do everything?
ed: Wait, is fastboot just an application for windows and it's by default on every device and I got it wrong with clockwork mod?

Fastboot
Fastboot is used on a device from a computer. You can't use fastboot without a device with fastboot. There's no fastboot on the LG GT540's stock ROM. You need to flash a Fastboot ROM to use fastboot from your computer. Clockwork Recoverymod is a modification to your device that can enable you to flash and backup your ROMs without the need of a computer.

Hello!
Sorry, I speak little english.
My telephone does not perceive the SDcard. Somebody would help me? ROM 2.1 original.

Do you mean that the 'Phone' app can't read your SD card.
Isn't everything used by the 'Phone' application on the Stock 2.1 ROM from the internal memory?

Yes, the phone does not detect the SDcard.
I can not install applications on the card as if it were not for a SDcard.

You can take out your SD card and put it back in. See if that does anything.

Physical problem
It could be a physical problem, you should go to the place you bought it from and tell them to fix it. You could try re-flashing a ROM and see what happens.

yes i can get into recovery. I tried flashing synergy rom. would it be best to just run the ruu and redo the rooting process?

Reformatting is by far the best way. There is a remove sd partition selection in ClockWorkMod and Amon Ra recoverys,but ive never used them,bcuz i have no need to partition my sdcard because i always have 150mb,or more,free space,no matter which rom i use or what apps i add/install(original Evo 4G).Id simply copy the contents of your sdcard to your computer,then reformat the sdcard,and reinstall the content back to your sdcard.I dont suggest the remove sdcard partition method simply because ive never used it. Good luck.

thank ibcary we got that far now i'm just stuck on the splash screen. the reason for wanting to get rid of the partion is cause it was just saying b. not giving me any info on the card.

If u can get to recovery your doing good. Use Amon Ra if possible. CWMod doesnt always do a full wipe. id try going into recovery and perform a full wipe,wipe dalvik,wipe data,etc,etc...Then download a rom that u know works and is stable. I like MikGs Sense 2.1/3.0 roms,but which rom all depends on your device. Choose a rom thats well known to be a good,stable rom.Try flashing the newly downloaded rom from your sdcard thru recovery and if that doesnt work,then id try using a new/different sdcard. Sdcards dont last forever,and some are downright junk. As long as u can get to your bootloader theres still hope. Im sure your device is ok,but it could be a bad sdcard or a bad rom download. Thats why i recomended a new rom download,and if that doesnt work then try a new sdcard. Goodluck

ok. it was a new sd card that i partioned. am download a rom that I have used before and never had any problem with. but if this doesn't work should i just unroot and run the ruu and start over again?

how do i load the rom onto the sd card since it gets stuck at the splash screen??

thanks you Holsum will give it a try.

once you have root and busybox installed correctly theres not much unrooting and then rooting again will solve.Except to return your device to stock,and to unroot i usually flash the unrooted stock rom. U can try the Root Checker app from the Market just to make sure your rooted and have busybox installed correctly. However custom roms are already rooted and have busybox installed correctly. If its a new sdcard id still try another sdcard. Use an sdcard u know is good. I bought a few cheap sdcards that were 8GB class 10 becuz i got a great deal on them,10 for $110.but out of the 10,only 7 were even recognized by my Evo or my HP dv7 Netbook and worked.Also i highly doubt they are class 10,bcuz my SanDisk 16GB C10 sdcard is much faster,and older too. So just bcuz its new doesnt mean its good.If it still wont work after a fresh wipe using Amon Ra recovery,NOT ClockWork Mod recovery,and a fresh/newly downloaded rom flashed from a different sdcard using Amon Ra recovery to fully wipe,then flash the newly downloaded rom from the different sdcard to your device. That shud work,but if it doesnt u can try reinstalling or updating your recovery.
As usual im a little behind again with my post. Good luck

once you have root and busybox installed correctly theres not much unrooting and then rooting again will solve.Except to return your device to stock,and to unroot i usually flash the unrooted stock rom. U can try the Root Checker app from the Market just to make sure your rooted and have busybox installed correctly. However custom roms are already rooted and have busybox installed correctly.

First: Did you partition all the card or only a certain amount ?
Second: Almost all the Custom recoveries have format card so do that.Then boot back in recovery and mount your card from recovery.
Third: Do not run RUU Period.
Fourth: Wipe all, cache, dalvik and all 2or3 times.
You wont get stuck on splash. since you wipe all give it a bit of time to check everything about 5-10 minutes

on partition the card i just hit the power button on all of it. got a custom rom back on my phone now it is up and running.

I would suggest using this program when formatting your SD ..

Just and FYI, when partitioning your SD Card, it will wipe the contents. So you'll need to partition SD Card and then move over any content you want to install.
