Magic stuck in boot loop! HELP!!

I have a rooted Rogers magic and dont know what happend...but its stuck in a boot loop. All it gets to is the "HTC MAGIC" screen and then the out of box image shows up and then it restarts and does this again and again.
I cant enter recovery or fastboot. ive tried the diff key combinations to boot but nothin works.
ANy help!!???

If you can't get into a recovery, or fastboot from my understandings you now have a very expensive paper weight.

Mine did the same, randomly or because i pressed some combination the phone booted again. Sometimes pressing backspace i enter the menu, pressing home+power... nothing.
One or two times pressing home+power enters the menu and then reboots by itself.
Any ideas?

It's happened to me once.
Does anything come up with your computer?
Can you access adb?
Try removing the battery then hold down the menu button.
While still holding menu put the battery back in.
The phone should start up. Keep holding the menu button until you are blue in the face (or for about 30 seconds or so) or until the phone boots.
If that doesn't work try the back button instead of the menu button like above.
If THAT doesn't work... then find a stack of papers and place them in front of a fan. Place your phone onto the stack of papers and let it sit...
Or try calling your provider because you might still be under warranty.

ok guys it on now.
Its working but for some reason it wont read my sd card :S
turns out my bro flashed a recovery he shouldnt hav so it kept rebootin evenwhen i tried entering recovery. i erased it thinkin that ill flash a new recovery...but it wont recognize my sd card. ive tried 3 diff cards...but nothin works.
even in the rom, i get the notification: "SD Card has been removed. Insert a new SD card to increase your device storage."
i cant get the card to work HELP??
........how do i even flash anything without the card?

You can flash through fastboot
Sent from my Epic myTouch 3G using XDA app.

Flash through fastboot like he said and it should read your SD card with a new ROM.

any links to a tutorial on how to flash through fastboot??
thanks in advance!!!

Nope. There are no links or tutorials at all anywhere on the web. They do not exist. Except for maybe this one:

It you have bootloop - remove battery you turn phone off. Wait a few minutes and place battery back.
Then try flash turn phone on by pressing and holding Back + Power (fastboot-mode)
Write first five rows here (all symbols are important).
It you will have problems, try to load phone into other modes:
Home + Power - recovery-mode
VolumeDown + Power - hboot-mode

Too bad
It seems like phone flashed by faulty hboot or radio (uncompleted download or something else)
Try disconnect phone from pc or adapter and remove battery for 10-15 minutes
May be it cancels this process.
To restore phone you need to run hboot-mode or fastboot-mode - if you don't then only JTAG can help

Help!

You might get more help if you rename your topic title to something more descriptive.
Second, try searching the forum; this has been discussed in numerous threads on both this forum and the developer's section, along with how to fix it.
Try the threads about the update, or dialing a certain code to force it manually (that's where I learned the timing trick to get into stock recovery on the NS). On the screen you're at, try pressing and holding power, then pressing/holding volume up, that should get you into stock recovery.
Also, if you can get into fastboot, you can fastboot flash the CWM recovery back to the device. If you made an nandroid before doing anything, you can at least go back to the device's state before you tried the update.

i could not find anything on this issue on google or here
i tried doing vol up and power, but its still at the screen, and my computer doesnt recognize my phone

use the instruction on the topic to ROOT the phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875875
and in one of the steps you can use the ADB to push a good ROM back into the phone to be re-flashed

Try just pulling the battery.
If not, you'll have to use fast boot from the SDK. Just follow the howto at the top of this forum to flash original images.

thank you so much!
i locked my bootloader again, and i've been trying to get the 2.3.1 update, but everytime i do try, it freezes at the android warning sign. i also tried installing it via rommanager when i was rooted...whats going on?

any ideas what could be wrong?

Are you able to get into Fastboot?
I wonder if part of your problem is that you relocked the bootloader. (Why'd you do that anyways? No advantage, imo.)
Fastboot oem unlock will completely wipe your phone, I mean WIPE EVERYTHING, including the sdcard (photos, music, some apps' data, etc), but such a wipe might get you back to stock firmware and stock recovery, then at least you could boot up. You could also then reflash CWM.
Before doing that, let's try this if you haven't:
Turn off phone.
Hold vol-up, then press/hold power.
You should then be in fastboot mode.
The timing's critical (on my phone anyways) for this step: Select recovery, and have your hands on the power button and volume button ready to push.
Watch the screen very closely, for a bout a half second or so, the screen will flash a box with an arrow dumping out onto the android dude. While that screen is showing, press/hold the power button, then press/hold the vol up button. Important to do the power button FIRST this time (at least it is on my phone).
You should then be able to get into the stock recovery.
Once there, maybe we can figure out where to go, but we need to know how messed up your phone is at this point.
Once in Recovery, you could try wiping cache if it's an option, then trying to reboot. Worth a shot, but not likely to work.
You could also do the factory reset wipe in there, this one shouldn't wipe your sdcard if there's anything critical/valuable on it. It will reset all your settings and logins and wipe the apps you've installed, though. Again, might let you boot up normally.

[Q] Stuck Android logo only

Hi Folks
My tab only stuck Android logo, ask for password. i enter password then again comes android logo and nothing
I tried hard reset combination. but none worked for me. is there any solution to this problem ?

Sounds like you'll need to try to do a factory wipe from recovery and then flash a zip of the stock rom (which you'll need to copy to your SD card)
Did forget your own password or buy this one hot?

Did you try a full wipe of the tablet? Hold down the volume up key and the power button until the tablet vibrates. Release the power button while still holding the volume up key, and slide the screen lock button (next to the volume up key) to the right and then back to the left.
The screen should display 'Erasing Userdata', you can then release the volume key. It should then erase the cache, Acer says it can take 5-10 minutes to complete. The tablet should then reboot, and you may be able to get in from the stock settings.
If the tablets hangs at 'Erasing Cache' for more than 15 minutes, force a power down by holding in the power key. The try the power/volume/lock routine again.

What doesn't work exactly? Did you get an error during installation? Or was installation successful but the problem still exists?

Buttoms are messy / boot problems

Hello!
So the problem started today, when my phone got shutted down ( because battery was 4%.. ) and when i was able to charge it, this sh#t started.
So, some things first:
- I'm not able to get to the place ( phone off -> volume down and turn phone on ) where i could flash wp6.5 or do task29
- I couldn't enter into rom because it froze to the part where HTC is green with black background
- Rom worked with safe mode
- USB flasher doesn't work in malgdr
- Buttons are messy ( but i have now figured how they work )
- I*M NOT ABLE TO HARD RESET, when it says " press volume up to reset ", it does nothing. I have to take off the battery to get off there.
+ I'm able to go to AD recovery, and do anything there
+ I'm able to use USB MassStg
So what can I do? Or what should i do? This is really sad to me. I've flashed roms since March with great succes, but now I face a problem like this in normal use. So i'm pretty confused.
I'm able to take some video if you need it.
Not sure did i make it to the right section, but i hope i made.

Hey u said that your buttons are messy and you figured out how they work. can you tell me i they started working. coz my hd2 is stuck on htc logo screen and not going to bootloader after pressing the power and volume down key . ithink their some malfuncaning in volume down key......... plz reply fast

What you are talking about is called bootloader and this is probably caused by a faulty volume down button. Unless you check the hardware for the volume down button and fix it if it is faulty there is no other fix for this issue unless you are using Windows Mobile then you can use the enterbootloader.exe.

It froze on what is called the splash screen and this is not all in all just a major issue and can more than likely be fixed.

Safe mode on a device is the same as safe mode on a computer, it will allow you to boot the device and hopefully find the problem or fix the problem.

This is because you have MAGLDR installed, there is no software for the device to reset.

I assume you are using a Android ROM because you said you can still use AD recovery. I suggest you read the first couple of post in the thread for the ROM you are using to find the suggested partition size you need as you may not have the right partition size if that is the case you will need to re partition your device but without being able to use USB flasher you will not be able to flash a new recovery with your new partition size. But you you should be able to edit a recovery and use it with AD sd, look in my guide linked in my sig for more infor on using recovery from SD card.
Also you can try to do a wipe of your cache and delvik cache and see if that helps. You can also try to make a backup of your ROM and re flash the Android ROM to see if that helps.
But to be honest with you your situation is odd because it did not happen right after you flashed a ROM. This sorta leads me to beleive you may have hardware issues.

LOL, when i started the phone today, the buttons worked normally. In Malgdr & AD recovery.
Of course, i tried to go to bootloader and I did. After that I flashed WM6.5 succesfully.
I'm going to upload a video about this all today or tomorrow. Rendering the video just now.
Edit: Installed this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912740
Still, back and "windows" button are bugging. Sometimes when i press them, they change the volume and the real volume buttons do the same.

I watched the video and I gotta say I think you have hardware issues. I would recommend you find someone to take a lookk at you volume buttons and the hardware buttons to see about fixing them. Both sets of buttons are replaceable.

I'll try to take care of that.
Thank you really much !

[Q] i9505 s4 button problems

hi, I have just registered and looking for some help if at all possible,
I have a galaxy i9505 S4 and recently the Home button seems to come and go, and the power button the same, and also the screen keeps lighting up every minute for about 10 secs, if i remove the battery I can restart the phone, and also the home button works to start the phone in factory reset mode, so i feel it might be a software problem rather than hardware.
is there any way to get the phone to reinstall the firmware, as factory reset didnt help
the phone is on orange (EE) UK
thanks for any advice or help given.

hi, thanks for the reply,
the home button just dont work, single click, and holding it in for the task manager dont do nothing either, but if i turn off the phone and hold the home, vol up, and power button, it boots into reset menu fine.
on and off the power button dont work, and i have to remove the battery to restart it.
the screen just lights up every minute for about 10 secs as if it has a notification, but there is nothing there, it drains the battery to empty in about 5 hours.

hi, I have just done upgrade and initialisation from Kies, and it redownloaded and reinstalled the latest software, took ages, and the button is still not working, so i guess it will have to go to the shop.
cheers for all your help, the button only works before the OS has started, as i can get into recovery menu.
thanks again.

mechanical or hardware problem
That seems pretty much a mechanical problem (button broken) or hardware issue (shortcut somewhere? could explain the screen problem...)

the buttoon does work, but only to get the phone into recovery mode at startup, so physically the button works, just not when the phone is powered into the android os.

It's a faulty button mate.
You don't need to use the home button to boot to recovery or download mode on the S4.
You can simply press volume up+power (recovery) or volume down+power (downloadmode) no need for home button at all.
This is why you think it works.

It's very true mate.
YOU DO NOT NEED HOME BUTTON TO BOOT TO RECOVERY, SIMPLE.
Your issue sounds different to the OPs.
If you refer back to his first post, he said his power button doesn't do ANYTHING.
"the home button just dont work, single click, and holding it in for the task manager dont do nothing either, but if i turn off the phone and hold the home, vol up, and power button, it boots into reset menu fine"
Yours works.
