Bricked or Not ?

Hi there !
i've been given the task to try to unbrick a Htc Magic from Italy, je previous owner had a bricked the phone, and now i'm trying to understand how should i proceed to unbrick the phone (or if it's even possible).
the phone comes from italy and should be a 32A version.
it goes to the Tim Logo screen and then stop.
i've no access to any screen like fastboot or recovery
except for the bootradio (Power & trackball) wich light up the blue led.
thanks for any advices or clues.
best regards.
K.

anyone has an idea ?

Up ? anyone have i posted in the wrong section ? if so can a moderator move the thread ?

Did you try to type adb logcat in a shell or command prompt?

impossible for the computer to detect the phone.

There were some people who had experience same symptom in this forum including me. But some people had luck, the others not.
My unit had same symptom as yours have. I had tried lots of methods which had reported as unbricked. But I could not have any luck.
Please search forum and read it. There are more information then I had been trying to.
But don't try to call HTC branch. "HTC don't deal with any brand customized products", it was the only answer from HTC.
Good luck!

Are you saying that some people were able to recover their phones without access to fastboot or recovery? I'd love to see this
To me that means the phone is dead... and this sticky FAQ thread says the same thing...

Go to Hero Development and ask..

Sounds like the rom you're flashing isn't compatible with your radio/spl combination. Why don't you post your radio and we'll point you to a rom to install.
I've been there and done it. Took me forever to figure it out.

Help ... Unlock OR Hard SPL For HTC Touch

Hi PLZ Help Me For Unlock or Hard SPL HTC Touch ...
Let Me know ....

Hi,
As your thread is not Development, I moved it to General. Now, on to your question:
First of all, are you certain that you have a Vogue? If you have a SIM card, you have an Elf and therefore are in the wrong forum. Let me know. Thanks.

Yes Bro Phone Is HTC Touch ....
PLZ Help Me For Unl;ock OR Hard SPL ....

The fact that you are saying "it's a Touch" doesn't tell me anything. There are two variants of this device: Elf/Elfin which is the GMS version (SIM card); and the Vogue which is the CDMA one. I am not asking you to annoy you, but I want to make sure that I am directing you to the right information, cause you will end up with a brick if I send you to the wrong forum.

Thanks ....

gsm touch = elf
you are in the wrong forum

Look at it this way... I just saved you from bricking your device by asking you the same question twice

You shouldnt have to apologize. You needed help asap. Some of these senior members need to stop acting or in fact being pricks when someone posts in the wrong area. Its not that big a deal. Appreciate the fact that they came to XDA for help in the first place. SMDH

I checked the link witch is posted above.
But i`m not getting out, stuck with a few things.
first: i`ve got installed the 2.08HSPL.
second: can`t change the radio to 2.15.50.14, stuck at 96%.
third: can`t get into the bootscreen of MAGLDR after the included RUU, it goes straightly to the white screen with htc logo and getting stuck.
This was driving me nuts!
How to fix this all?
Thnx!

Hi,
I 'm not sure where you are at.
Did you manage to install radio?
If not,try again.
Radio must be there before you can continue.

I was trying to install but is gives an error at 96%!
How do I fix that?

Hi,
Sorry to be the one to tell you but you have bricked your HD2. When you are flashing a radio you cannot interrupt it until it is done flashing the radio or it will brick your device. The radio is very important, it is what has the data the IPL of the bootloader needs to boot the hardware of the device. No radio equals no working device, or what is known as a bricked device.

Crap!
But I still can get in the bootscreen!
Can you post a link from a radio updater, maybe I can try it again?!
Or can I get winmo back?

Hi,
Try:
Go to HTC site>support>download>ROM upgrade and choose appropriate ROM upgrade for your phone
Extract with winrar or 7z the RUU_Leo_HTC_****************************_Ship.exe
find the larger *.nbh file and rename it to leoimg.nbh and place this file on an sd card that is 4gb or less
and reboot to bootloader (the one with 4 colors,hold volume down button)
follow the instructions from there
That way you will have your original software with SPL restored and ready to send it for repair
No need for PC drivers etc.

That is the most ridiculous comment I have ever seen on XDA.
Ofcousre its a big deal moron. If we simply excused every person and let anybody post anywhere this site would be a complete waste of time.
Why should we "appreciate" it?
People with common sense use the search function or google a couple of keywords+XDA or even in the minimum read a couple of sticky threads before asking what is obviously a very common request.

I don't think he bricked it. Try flashing HSPL and radio again. I've seriously had my phone fall down and get disconnected while flashing radio before. Worried the hell out of me, but I just tried again and it was fine

I`ve got winmo back !
Solution:
Download the normal rom and then i changed RUU_Signed.nbh to leoimg.nbh,
then i run the bootsloader again and installed the normal rom by the RomUtilitieUpdate.exe and now it works fine again.
But still no android .
I`ll check later how to install that correctly!
Thank you all guys!

is it a hard/soft problem?

Hi all,
Yesterday I bought a htc hd2 and I noticed that when talking with the phone, its temperature increases a lot and restart and stuck on the screenshot "MAGLDR V1.3" with this message:

....
load done!

go go go!

try to flash another rom to see if the probleme still exist and if so try to revert to wm ...there's a lot of problemes that exist only in android... give it some time

I got an idea...
We should all post about the OP posting in the wrong section...
Which means we are all posting off-topic posts in the DEV area...
Which will solve the problem.
Seems legit

Okay, this is my first and only reply to you.
We have all been newbs, yes, but is it that hard to check all of the main threads of the htc hd2 before posting ? If a person knows how to make a topic, he also knows how to read one..
You can clearly see a difference between:
HD2 Android NAND Development
HD2 Android Q&A and General

I used to have the same issue.
Your phone is broken all u can do is to keep it from overheating by underclocking it and only use for short duration of time when using high intensity applications.
I had to get a replacement bc it used to shut down on me at least once a day and then I had to wait for it to cool down before being able to reboot it and use it.
So either try to get a replacement and if you cant just sell it.

Don't be mad u guys...
Op there's a youtube video relating your problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=JmvCpR45LKA
Peace...
