[Q] Help me unbrick my HTC Magic

Ok guys i am sorry to bother all of you but i made a stupid mistake. i think i didnt slept well.
So instead of wiping out my SD Card in recovery mode, something got into me to wipe the misc,recovery,data,cache and everything!
I have access to FASTBOOT and the info is as follows:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP100000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
version-main: 2.16.707.3
Is there any method i can unbrick my phone?

Goldcard.
Or setup ANDROIDSDK, put the custom recovery in the tools folder, open a command prompt there and type "fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img" and reflash your ROM.

thanks for the advice i will try it

hi it would seem that i can find a recovery image here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492 and install it.
i can get to home + power = clockwork mod recover v 2.5.0.1
i can install a zip from sdcard but after reboot it still shows the HTC Magic screen!

ok if i remember what i did wrongly this is what i did
in partitions i:
format boot
format system
format dat
format cache
format sdcard
format sd-ext
after this i can still get into recovery. can my phone be saved?

Yes it can... easy :0)
1) download CM 6.1 ROM from here: http://goo-inside.me/cm/dream_sapphire/stable/update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip
2) Also download the EBI1 kernel from here: http://briancrook.ca/android/cm-ports/bc-6.1.0-ebi1-signed.zip
3) Restart into recovery
4) wipe ALL <- important
5) flash the ROM
6) flash the EBI1 kernel
7) reboot and you should be OK.

thanks! i will give it a try.

hi i am able to boot into this rom. but this rom is not quite usable. it doesnt have a market place and all. what do i do with this rom?

Sorry, i forgot about the gapps :0)
gapps = google applications
Flash this from recovery:

You should now have a fully funtional rom by CyanogenMod(CM)
Source: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_version#EBI1CM6

thanks so much for the help. one thing i notice is that the clorkwerk recovery couldnt be installed properly.
what is a more stable ROM that you should advise that i use for long term?

There are many options to chose from.
You got the 32A board - CPLD-12.
You can use the new radio / old radio combos to chose from many different roms.
But to stick to your original problem, i think the main problem was that you did not wipe correctly causing the new rom to fail.
Always remember to wipe when installing a new rom unless it known to be "upgradable" from earlier versions/roms.
I will read around the forums and have a look at the development section for other roms.
For the old radio combo which you currently have, i will dare to claim that the CM 6.1 is the best choice!
But again, i bet that there are many willing to dispute that postulation :0)

hi mumilover, i am sorry for the noob question but when u say wipe what do you mean specifically?
because i did a :
format boot
format system
format dat
format cache
format sdcard
format sd-ext
am i suppose to wipe that much things? i suppose system, cache and dat can wipe but should i format the boot and system?

HTC Magic (TIM) stuck on splash screen

I know there are a lot threads with similar title, but I couldn't find something useful.
Phone is my coworkers branded TIM HTC Magic and this is info:
HTC Magic
Sapphire PVT 32A
Ship S-on H
HBOOT-1.33.0008
(SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO 3.22.20.17
APR 29 2009
We were able to flash Amon Ra (recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H.img) following this method How To: Root the HTC Magic in One Click!.
After that my coworker tried to flash this ROM (SuperflyTCBY1.1DSF) from the recovery, but after flashing, it couldn't boot. It is now always stuck at TIM logo. Than we tried flashing again some ROMs which doesnt require new radio but nothing seems to help.
We can access recovery and hboot, so is there any hope ? Anyone has some idea what we could do ?

It means that the Rom you flashed seems not suitable. Or may be it requires full wipe but u did not.
Try to reflash the rom with full wipe in recovery, if still can not run, chose other 3.22 ROM
Good luck

I forgot to mention that before every ROM flash we did 'factory reset' and 'wipe dalvik cache' from the recovery, but still no go.
Could you recommend any good 3.22 [32A] ROM ?

I did not use 3.22 radio so I don't know.
I think u should wipe all in recovery, not only dalvik cache.
Also u may need to change your phone from S-ON to S-Off in order to remove app from system

How is this Development related???
Moving to GENERAL

Wrong and wrong. You only need to have security turned off to run fastboot commands. Your fine with only wiping data and dalvik-cache. Can't recommend any ROMs but there should be a list available in the ROM Bible which is stickied in the Development forum.

I have Desire with S-ON, installed LeeDroid 2.2. When I removed app in system such as Calculator, News, Voice,.. by Titanium or deleted by Root Explorer, the icons still there and the app still run. They said that If I want to delete these apps, I need to get S-Off first.

Who told you that?

You are mixing things together... The Desire phone has special nand lock... so the game rules are different.. but stick on the topic :0)
OP: Try to flash CM rom...
Rom: http://goo-inside.me/cm/dream_sapphire/stable/update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip
EBI 1 kernel: http://briancrook.ca/android/cm-ports/bc-6.1.0-ebi1-signed.zip
Google apps: http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed.zip
Flash in this order without any reboots:
1) rom
2) kernel
3) gapps
4) Wipe <-- VERY IMPORTANT
reboot and you should be good to go...
nb: first boot may take up to 15 min before you see the welcome screen.. :0)

[Q] Swiftdroid - Hidden menus

Hello everybody.
I have installed Swiftdroid 2.0 M6 on my GT540.
Today I would like to SIM unlock my phone. But I read that with Swiftdroid we can't access hidden menus needed to unlock the phone.
Does a solution exist to enable hidden menus ?
(Sorry for my bad english)

What i'd recommend is that you go back to 2.1, unlock your phone, and then restore back to 2.3.
Here is a simple way, it also lets you keep all of your 2.3 ROM and Data
Download my 2.1 Recovery Backup from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110537
put the V20Ebackup folder on your SDCard in the: clockworkmod>backup folder.
Boot into recovery (Home+Power) and go to Backup and Restore and press "Backup" let the backup process finish, then go to "restore" and pick the "V20Ebackup" folder let it restore then "Wipe Data/Factory reset" (Don't worry, your data is saved in the backup you made earlier) reboot your phone, and then unlock it. Boot back into recovery and then go to "Backup and Restore" and choose and choose "Restore" choose the one with the latest date, then you will be unlocked and back on 2.3
Hope it helps,
Jack

Thanks for your answer.
So, I need to come in 2.1 version.
But, I can't use the clockwork recovery because I lost it when I did my first update. I can only change my ROM with fastboot.
Is it possible to come back to official LG ROM with fastboot ?

Just flash recovery again using fastboot or yaffsexpert.

Sorry I don't explain my problem correctly.
I think the clockwork recovery is well installed, but when I did my first update (2.1 LG official ROM), I lost my boot animation, it's a well known problem, so today I can only change my ROM with fastboot.
So does a solution exist to come back in 2.1 stock ROM ?

Hello everybody,
I tried JackG256's method but when I want to restart with the v20E backup rom, I get a boot loop on the LG logo.
How can I fix this problem ?
Thanks

boot into recovery and do a factory reset and also wipe dalvik cache.

I tried these two solutions but I still have a boot loop : LG logo appears and then the phone restarts and again...
Any others ideas ?

Do a full wipe or try different kdz version I went with v20d
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App

The problem always exists, I did a full wipe and it continues to restart after LG's logo, it doesn't want to load the ROM.
I don't understand what is the problem.
I hope someone could help me....

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?" I'm joking. Here's an idea. Try flashing a fastboot rom in download mode(no battery, no sim, nothing - plug in phone holding vol-down) , if you haven't got one already, and then go into fastboot, connect phone and execute "fastboot -w". That should wipe it right up. For the problem with the black screen recovery, and loading see here. I know G translate makes it pretty much gibberish, but it's not that hard to understand. Here are the links to mentioned files:
V20a.kdz
Out.kdz
I hope this helps.

I've fixed the backup, you should be able to restore now, just download the new version.

[Q] Problem Installing ROMS

Hi
I'm new installing ROMs on my phone and I found some issued from time to time.
I have a:
- HTC G1 T-Mobile Phone
- HBOOT 1.33.2005
- Radio 2.22.28.25
- Installed ClockWorkMod Recovery 2.5.0.7
- Running EZGingerBread.
I flash the Froyo by Laslo ROM (and others) with ClockWorkMod recovery from a zip inside the SDCard. The procedure goes fine. I wipe out all the cache and data before installing the ROM.
When I reboot I get the "T-Mobile G1" logo at startup and it reboots and keep showing the same logo.
I went back to ClockWorkMod recovery menu and recover the backup with EZGingerBread to get the phone working again.
I want to test Froyo by laslo, and BioHzr ROMS but I get the same problem
Any tip on what I'm missing? Is it CloworkMod Recovery? Am I missing some extra stuff?
Thanks

Most of the ROM now a day you required to have both latest SPL/radio. It looks like you have the correct radio, but you need to upgrade your SPL/HBOOT to 1.33.0013d.
The ROM that you had been trying to flash is incompatible to the SPL/radio combo.

Thanks to All!
