I think I bricked my Magic flashing ENG SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2004.
Starts, vibrates and gets stuck at splashscreen "HTC Magic". If I hold the ball when it starts then the blue led will shine forever, dont know why.
It charges when power is attached.
fastboot boot recovery.img does not work, it never finds the phone. Iv done all key combos I could find and it does not react.
I tried to add SAPPIMG.nbh to the memory card, but that did nothing. Not sure that I have the right .nbh, iv got a 32A.
Anyways, iv done anything I can think of, nothing works.
Any suggestions? Dont say JTAG....
Edit: I saw the Arrow box thing after it had flashed the new SPL and restarted, but I only saw it once and it just flashed fast on the screen. Blink and I would have missed it.
Found something very very interesting!
If the device is off and I plug in the USB to my PC after about 2minutes if finds a Unknown Device.
The info I can get from the device is this:

Still cant reach if with Fastboot and as soon as I power it up the Unknown Device disappears.
Edit: Im going to try to connect to it as a Raw device, see whats what.
Any luck?
I'm gona follow this :0)
No luck yet.
Cant really get it recognized in any of my USB RAW software cant get any drivers installed instead of the Unknown Device and its hard since it does not have a PID.
Not done yet, but its not looking very good.
Subscribed.
If it's powering on (sort of) that's a good sign! If the computer sees it at all that's also a good sign.
Good luck to you! Here's a link to a sappimg file that's known to work on mytouch 1.2 which is sort of a 32a. Can anyone verify that this file will work for him?
Also I thought 32a had to be sappimg.zip and not sappimg.nbh? Try that...
Anyway, here's your link.

Can anyone remind me what buttons to hold when I want to to load the sappimg? VolumeDown + Home + Power?

Vol Down + Power. Good luck!
Make sure you double-check on whether the file I linked you is compatible with 32a. That file works with the myTouch 1.2 which is a 32a board that uses 32b radio. I have no idea which spl it uses, so do your research first! Since you're a standard 32a (aren't you?) that file may or may not be compatible.
Yes, its a standard 32A.
Cant I build my own zip with the required files?
Edit: No reaction what so ever on the VolDown. When I think of it, right before I unplugged the phone from my PC the last time it worked I actually had a device named HTC Dream installed. Since I was playing with recovery roms etc I did not care much about it. But now, seeing that its dead, is it possible that it will react to dream.zip or whatever file name is used?
Edit2: Found it, dreaimg.

Damn, that sucks... Also no reaction from Home+Power? Do you have a dedicated camera button? Try camera button+power if you do.
Dream? Dream is the G1, totally different hardware. 32B.
Yes, I know the dream is G1 32B.
But my PC found a HTC Dream, the fastboot screen said 32A and the hardware is a Magic.
I would also want to know whats with this blue led. When I hold down the scroll ball and start the device the blue LED lights up but the screen does not. Device does not react to anything, need to pull battery to restart it. Ideas?

No way to get into fastboot? If you can get the phone into fastboot you can sappimg back to life.

I´m rather new and read tons of documentation by now but it seems i have exactly the same Problem with my HTC Magic 32B.
Best solution is now to get a new phone?
Edit: Sometimes when i try to get into the Fastboot Mode, the HTC Magic splashscreen disappears after a few seconds and a "new" kinda blue background is sliding from the left to the right but without any other effect
JTAG seems to be the only other option right now.
Im not interested enought to find a solution to this.

I've got a "Brick" HTC Magic - Vodafone.
Basically, when i press the power button doesn't start. It happened after follow the "Install / Update SPL" ( http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/SPL ) guide.
Is there any way to recover it? or should i put it on the bin?
You're going to have to be more specific than "it doesn't start".
Does it turn on? If so, does it hang at the htc magic screen? Can you hold vol-down and press power (while still holding vol-down) and load a screen with three androids on skateboards? If you can do the last step, it's not bricked, and you should look at the thread I have below about bricking and semi bricking, one of the users on there gave a great amount of information on what you can do if your phone's not working right (bricked).

Hi Caid, thanks for the reply! sorry for the short message without details.
Here is the answer for your first question (sadly, the rest of questions can be skipped):
Does it turn on?
It doesn't
It was after follow the guide i mentioned before. I tried to update the SPL, but something went wrong and my phone didn't turn on again.
So... I think I have to accept the fact is not going to work again.
Is there any kind of service able to fix this?
Anibal
No display at all? no backlight on the screen? no vibration (signifying it's past a certain point in the loading stage)?
You probably tried taking out the battery for 10 seconds and then putting it back?
As Caid444 asked, tried holding Back+Power for a few seconds (after making sure power is off and not just hanging. Take off battery for 10 sec and reload)? Tried holding Home+Power after making sure power is off?

I'd really like to say it DOES something... but it doesn't . I tried Volume down + power, back + power and several more combination always taking out the battery and putting it back.
It's bad... Do u know if there's any hardware service for this?
Just a wild guess, but since the phone sucks more battery, then a vampyre on rampage.
Could it be an idea, to charge the battery before, or have the usb cable pluged in, when you press back+home? (the same buttons you used to enter fastboot)
I'm pretty sure what you're trying to say is, you know enough about the phone to know how to bring it into it's multiple boot options, and none of them make the phone even burp. So there's no need to tell you to press this button plus that button, or insert usb or remove usb, or battery or such, because you've already done all that.
Well, I'd have to agree with you that it's dead. Unfortunately, there's nothing to do at the moment. I'm guessing (or maybe just hoping) that in the future there will be an unbricker for our phone, much like those available for many htc branded winmo phones. In the meantime, how old is your phone? Can you still bring it back?
Caid.

p.s To anyone else who's trying to figure this out, let's assume that he's already tried the many variations of recovery procedures and that it's still not working.

If it's really a brick and we all want to learn something from this then we need to know the following :
1. What was your original SPL
2. To which SPL did you "try" to upgrade? (I hope you didn't try to flash a G1 SPL on your Magic...).

That's how my brick arrived ! Tried Hard SPL, after installing the one you suggested. Yours okay, Hard SPL no. But even after installing the spl, no fastboot adb.
BRICKED by HARD SPL ( the recommended )
Same here, I have just bricked my new vodafone HTC Magic (Vaffanc...)
downloaded from here: http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/downloads/list?q=label:SPL
I hope something can be done. It is not reacting to power button at all.

I think you are right, I have flashed the G1 SPL. But the page is really not clear, it start speaking as Dream/Magic and probably it is only for Dream. Since it says to apply the Hard Spl and in the download link(http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/SPL) there is no clue that it is not for the G2.
Any idea? anybody got it changed from the shop with no problems? (mine is vodafone in the netherlands)

as far as i can see no need to flash spl on vodafone magic. i have the same phone and all i did was root with Rav1.1.1G.img and flashed rom of my choice. you have flashed phone with g1 spl and it actually says g1 on the link you provided..........can't see how you missed it. with phone off press home+power button as that bring up recovery image. Rav image file is safer due to that. i am sure if hardspl was available for Magic it would be posted on here as a sticky

A noob question but what exactly does flashing a new SPL unlock.
I got my Vodafone UK HTC magic and simply Downloaded a 32B ROM and used nandroid backup to apply the update.zip and it installed fine and can use Root required apps.
hi all
My HTC magic was bricked after update SPL. Now when press power button, it stuck at HTC magic logo, anyone have solution for fix its?
I Can not understand how can this be possible. Why guys all of you, don't read before trying to change your SPL???? You even don't need any changes about it?! Why do you try to change the SPL? Do you know what that SPL does? I think most of you - don't.
My next question is why all of you are trying to flash the G1 SPL onto Magic phone? Are you crazy or what? There is NO HARDSPL for Magic (G2, Sapphire or whatever you want to call this device)!
The SPL collection is posted in this forum by Amon_Ra, and if someone want to change the SPL can do this by downloading some of the SPL collections posted here.

Power off your phone! Then press and HOLD the "back button", while holding it press once the red one(which you usually use to power on the phone). It will power on (i hope). If you get in fastboot mode then everything will be fine.
Dear all,
I have bricked my magic (I think), after that, I've searched xda-developers forum throughout.
Here's my situation.
I've tried back+power, volume down+power, home+power, menu+power, combination of keys+power with both usb plugged and unplugged.
All I got is HAMI logo, then reboot again.
I can't get the fastboot work, on my computer, I only got "< waiting for device >"
I can heard the usb connected sound for the htc magic, but it is disconnected at the reboot of the phone. That is the computer can't recognize it.
Still, I can't have access to the fastboot. So, no further action can be taken.
As far as I remember, I flushed the new SPL, then reboot infinitely
The only thing that still works is track ball+power, blue led light, look like a radio boot.
Can anyone help ????
Thanks
The trackball + power is the radio bootloader. There's a way to unbrick your phone from that mode. But you'll need a HTC Debug (serial) cable. Anyway, I don't know much about radio bootloader. So I don't think I'm the right person to ask.

Can u give me the link to this thread ??? i can't really reach it :| and i am actually in the same situation
I'm now stuck at the T-mobile G1 screen.
this is the first time this has happened to me.
I was running superD 1.10.2 but wanted to try a hero port.
I tried various hero roms and was stuck on the G1 screen every time
I tried going back to super d but I'm still stuck.
I've wiped between each flash.
It's not fully bricked cause I can still get to the recover screens by pressing home+power to boot and power+camera
When going back to SuperD did you flash the defanged base/Htc Recovery?
I don't know what that is so I don't think I did.
am I supposed to be flashing this in between roms?
I've never done so.

Recently SuperD went legal, and as such it requires the htc recovery to have been flashed before it was. Not sure about your problems with hero roms
In that case, I don't think I need the defanged base/Htc Recovery because I've had the rom downloaded before it went legal.
and also: I've had this problem before with open ecclair. It would never boot.
but I was always able to flash back to super D for some reason.
update.
I tried some other roms,
I got BlueMagic and htc clays remix of csdi to both work.
but I still can't get back to superD
yeah man... for some reason when i tried a hero rom, and tried to go back to super d it didnt work so i just flashed super csdi. but idk what it is either

The blue light is for JTAG, which is basically a bunch of wires you can plug into the inside of your phone to get it working. Problem is, it's hardcore advanced and voids your warranty unreversably. If Camera+Power and Home+Power don't work, you may be out of luck.

Please don't talk about things you don't understand.
Blue light mode is NOT "for jtag". It is for SERIAL CONSOLE -- an interface that can be used for executing RADIO COMMANDS over RS232.
JTAG is used to HACK the blue light mode in order to enable MORE RADIO COMMANDS. Essentially, it escalates the PRIVILEGES of the serial console to the equivalent of ROOT.
Think of it like ROOTING YOUR RADIO.

I'm not much of an expert myself. I've got the basics down of rooting and flashing, but try looking up a how to unroot guide for your phone. theunlockr.com has pretty good step-by-step video and text guides. I'm assuming you have the MT3G so try this page:
theunlockr .com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g
After you unroot follow their rooting guide. Its very simple to do and only takes about a half hour to do.

Yup. Sounds like a brick. If you update the SPL you better damn know which SPL you're flashing and if it's compatible with your device. I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Right SPL + Right Radio = Good device (99% of the time)
Wrong SPL + Right Radio = brick (60% of the time)
Wrong SPL + Wrong Radio = brick (99% of the time)
Right SPL + Wrong Radio = brick (60% of the time)
Do you see the pattern here?
In other words you NEED to make sure that you are flashing the appropriate SPL for your device and make sure that you have the right radio before flashing ANYTHING.
Now since it would appear that in your case you don't even have a clue of what SPL/Radio you had to begin with and you just blindly flash a random SPL, we don't even have a way of telling if you have a 32a or a 32b device. Not that it matters because if you cannot get into the bootloader or recovery then the only chance that I think that you have is looking up JTAG, tearing your device apart, soldering the test points and running the program. This would allow you to reflash your spl. However I suggest you try to do a warranty exchange because I wouldn't even waste my money on JTAG technique.
This is for the G1 so it would probably be a little different than the MT3G, but the concept should be the same.

so you never know.
Thank you
Really many many thanks for your reply, i really do appreciate it. i know that am a noob with what i did with my phone, i was just trying to get back to the cupcake. i never imagined that i could ruin everything just like that.
anyway u r right when u said that i know nothin about the radio and the SPL i started with, but i just noticed that the SPL named (Sapphire-signed), and my device is HTC Magic with vodafone 32a. but i dont know what sapphire is.
so i will give it a try with lookin for someone here who can help with tha Jtag thing, if not i will try to send it to be repaired. however i guess that the warranty doesnt cover such faults.
sorry for posting my thread at the wrong place.
Thanks for your time

im using the latest nandroid. can't find the information for that.
I've looked in a couple places for similar problems but i couldn't find something useful for my problem.
I was at a party last night and had my phone in my jeans pocket. I think its obvious that it was pretty hot and I sweat...
After the party I checked my phone and the style and wallpaper were changed. I also found that the power button didn't work anymore. Before everything had worked just perfectly.
Since I could still use my phone I tried to backup as much as possible. I also made a backup of the current rom.
Unfortunately I restored that rom, and I think that's what causes me problems now. Please don't ask me why I did it, I just wasn't thinking a whole lot.
After reboot the phone stuck in the white screen with green htc logo.
I tried to take out the battery a couple times and rebooted it, but it didn't work. The phone always starts automatically when I put the battery in. Sometimes the colors of the screen were messed up, meaning that it was all pink or some kinda "pixel curtain" was above the image.
I also started the phone in recovery (holding just vol down and inserting the battery) In recovery the phone checks the usual things but I can’t see the results of those checks. I’m pretty sure though, that they all say “No” (no clue if that’s good or not).After that I’m stuck in recovery. The vol buttons don’t work or at least I can’t move my selection and the power button, no surprise, doesn’t work either.
So that is pretty much my problem. I hope you can help me with that.
i ran the latest ruu and it succesfully got my phone back. the power button, however, still doesn't work. anybody an idea how i could fix that? or what could cause the problem?
Update:
when i connect the phone the my pc it shows: hboot usb plug.
i'm not familiar with hboot. could someone tell me what i can do to repair my phone, i guess i have to flash a new rom, using hboot?
moreover, after some time the phone changes into fastboot usb
now i can use the vol+/- buttons again but i cant select anything since the power button doesnt work. but that probably means that i can use fastboot to flash a rom right?
could somebody please explain how i can do that?
i'm also trying to use the test ruu and change the room.zip to the latest one. i founde a thread where that worked: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835595&page=3
i hope i can fix it because i doubt htc will replace my phone because of the void warranty...
Seems that this is a hardware issue.
You said you ran a RUU, right?
What does your bootloader show now? The first line is important. It should say something like ACE PVT SHIP S-ON
If this is the case, you should get it replaced by htc because they can't figure out anymore if you had a custom rom or not
Btw: which RUU did you install?
