[Q] 32A Radio instsall crash - bricked?

I did a radio and spl update in the wrong order (spl first and then radio). Now i'm stuck with a radio install screen that ends up in fadeout display and vertical white stripes every time i boot up my phone. Just like this video except the arrow points to a android instead of a phone:
I can't go to hboot (back + power)
I can't go to recovery (home + power)
I can get the blue led (trackball + power)
Is there anything i can do to fix this?
Phone info:
32A (htc branded)
radio:
old: RADIO-3.22.20.17
new: Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_6.35.10.18 (as a zip on sd)
spl (hboot):
old: HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP10000)
new: hboot-1.76.2007 (SAPP10000)
recovery:
old: RA-magic-v1.2.3H
new: recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H
Please ask if you need more information. Though i'm still a bit of a newbie (otherwise i would not have "bricked" my phone)

That's a recovery screen. You should have flashed the Hero recovery, not the Sapphire/Magic one, since that's what the new radio requires.
Hold down Volume and press power. Does you phone go into fastboot? If so, flash the latest Hero recovery or the modded Sapphire/ new radio one from http://www.theandroidkitchen.com/fileshare/Sapphire-32A-Updates/

No, i have tried VolUp, VolDown and both. Still goes to the "install" screen and crashes.

If you can't get into fastboot (volume down+power), recovery (home+power), or get the phone to boot normally, I think you've pretty much bricked your phone. If it's under warranty, try to take it back. If not and you've got insurance, tell them the phone is in the bottom of a lake, if you don't have both, well that just sucks.

I have read about "Gold card" but i'm no sure how it works, it is not something that will do anything in my situation?

Not really, sorry. You need to be able to get into fastboot in order to use a goldcard.

Hm, thats so sad. My older brother was about to inherit the phone. Well - no android for him this time... Sorry my man.
Thanks for the clarification on this matter

[Q] HTC Magic Vodafone Austria PVT 32A bricked

Hello,
i have a big problem. I got a new HTC Magic from Vodafone Austria. This one is a
PVT 32A Device
HBOOT-1.76.0009 (SAPP1000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-6.35.08.29
I tried to install a Perfect SPL but i made a big mistake.
1.) I installed androod and rooted my phone
2.) I installed ROM Manger
3.) After i launched this app it asked me which recovery should be installed. I selected Magic
After this i tried to flash a Engineer hboot but now the phone only reboots after the HTC MAGIC Logo is displayed on the screen. This reboot is in a loop and no fastboot or recovery is working. Only when i press on the joybutton the device goes black and a blue led is lighting. I also have no CID and no Gold Card for my phone. I read so many posts about bricked phones but i found no solution. Someone said it should work with an SAPPIMG.NBH on a FAT32 formated SD Card. Other one said, i should use a Gold Card and but a SAPPIMG.ZIP on it. So i tried to make a Gold Card with my HTC Desire but this also doesn't work.
So has someone a solution for this problem? I can't send it back to HTC because i have no invoice.
Sorry for my bad english.
Thanks for your help
regards

Take out the battery...
Put it back in, hold the back button + power...
Do you see the fastboot?
if not... your out of luck

[Q] How to get into fastboot after radio flash?

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

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

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:

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!!!!

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.
