hello i just wanted to see if i still could get help with my useless device
Ok so yesterday ive rooted the phone and today i tried to install cyanogen mod 7 rom
i used rom utility which i ve downlaoded from android marketplace
now sometimes my phone boots and gets to the logo loop
ive heard that clearing cache and settings would work but i cant access these menus as my hboot is not reacting to my key presses , i tried to reflash the phone but nothing came with success.
I used android sdk and RUU but nothing with success .
maybe anyone would teamview me or give me step by step tutorial how to get this phone alive again would be appreciated
You will be rewarded
You rooted the Phone with a App from the Market?
You need if your HBoot is lower then 1.* the unrEVOked Tool.
If its 1.* there is no way to flash it.
Okay, maybe it worked with yout root app from the market, dunno, but i dont think so.
So you cant access while pressing volume down (keep holding) and switching on the phone the bootmanager? oO thats no good.
The Logo will stay up to "15minutes (<-?)" after flashing a new Rom. In this time its possible, that you Phone restarts automaticly. its normal. Switch it on an wait up to an half hour. If it keep staying in the boot sequence while showing the logo you got a problem .
I think there isnt a more unsave way than a "Flash by teamviewer". You have also pay attention to the phone while flashing. on TV you cant keep an eye on it.
But how can you reflash your phone without getting access to the bootmanager/ HBoot? I think you habe to access the clockwork to flash cm7 *thinking*.
If u nowhow to use adb try n get a adb logcat if possible

Hi borris and daddyspud thanks for your reply ,i cant move around in hboot ,my hboot version i 0.80.0003
Ive rooted it using unrevoked with clockwork mod on it.
now even when i get it to boot it just loops in cyanogen animation,should i leave it for 15 minutes to do its thing?
also im new to this so i dont know anything about sdk and adb,all i did is saw the tutorials using it ,so i thought i would use it just to give it a go
HBoot 0.8 is rootable, so its okay.
If there is still an animation while you see the CM Logo everything is fine.
If it freeze for some minutes is there a problem. The Animation shows you "i am working / installing".
Yes, let him do his thing for some Minutes.
I think everting should be okay and after some minutes it will work like normal.
It reboots sometimes it self, but this is also okay.
I dont know... does the new CM7 also install a new HBoot? So its possible why you cant move around in it.
Do you wait about 10 seconds before you try to move around in it? Because in the first seconds it looks like it freezed an then it start a test or something. this takes about 10seconds then you can use it.
Its not bricked if its turning on.
Can you get into recovery? If you can try flashing the 4.1 kernel.
If that doesnt help, go into recovery and do a full wipe. Clear cache and dalvik, and under partitions menu format everything except SD card. Then flash CM7, then the 4.1 kernel
Remember first boot will take 10-15 minutes. Be patient. If youve done everything right you shouldnt have any problems
Hi and thanks for cooperation ,i left my phone on cyanogen animation for an hour and nothing is happening just animation loop constantly.
I've just tried hboot and it searches for the PC 49 DIAG and says not found after that it freezes and i cant use any menu navigation buttons . in hbot and fastboot.
I dont even know what to do next
Much help appreciated guys
oO
thats weird.
the PC49DIAG is a part of the rom it self. So i think you have to try to re-flash it. Did you try it with or without a goldcard?
before you flash your phone whipe ALL datas on it!!!
If i start in bootloader mode i get also all the "missing" errors but i can still use the vol up/down buttons to navigate around.
That should help.
I think you did something wrong while flashing.
the root failed?
you got an error while flashing?
goldcard?
Try to flash a RUU from shipped roms. DONT flash a Froyo rom, you will get the HBoot 1.* if you do this.
Recoverymode doesnt work in the hboot?
If you try recoverymode you will get a blackscreen with an triangle.
most say "press the power button" to enter the recovery mode. if this doesnt work press the "volum up button (hold it) then the power button" this should enter recovery mode.
**EDIT**
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz use a www-rom its without a branding. and use a RUU rom.. and pls dont use a froyo rom. after flashing this your root is gone i think but your phone will be alive again.
dont try the cm7 this time. use a stock rom.
is it alive again?
i talked today to someone who hat exactly the same problem like you.
it was simple to fix the problem... he (you also?) didnt
whipe the phone before he flashed the cm7. thats why it wont stop looping
in the cm7 animation.
after whiping and reflashing everything was fine.
... did you whipe it b4 flashing?

and even tried the JF updater and it dosent work (Both the radio update and the update itself), I'm a bit frustrated, my brother rooted the phone for and installed the RC29 rom and the JF rom,
it offered me a system holiday update awaile ago and when I updated it froze on the G1 logo after I waited a long time (about 45 min) I removed the battery and started the phone again.. then I saw about 35MB free space (before I had only 10MB) and I think that from that point it added the holiday but I'm not sure if it wasn't already before that.. I realy need your halp with this.. I can't find a way to boot my phone and start a bootloader..
I search in many threads and couldn't find an answer..
p.s. I was able to get to the fast boot when I press the power + Camera but I don't know how to use it..
Please Search and post in the correct thread/forum. Thank you.
shutdown
home+power
alt-w
system should auto reboot.
if no joy, grab your favorite ROm (I suggest Cyans) and through it on your SDcard's root as update.zip. then
shutdown
home+power
alt+l
alt+w
alt+s
home+back
system will reboot. let it hang for a few minutes, it takes a little bit to restructure the file system and boot for the "first" time. much in the same way as booting up a comp with a fresh install of windows.

I'm in the same boat. Stuck on G1 logo screen.
As the mod indicated this Topic is discussed many times already.
I'm having the same issue, i just called tmobile and getting it replaced.
ya, your recovery.img file is probably screwed up in the flash. download the dreaimg.sbh file or whatever for the RC29/RC7 and start over from scratch, it should fix your recovery menu. you are able to get into your camera+power menu, so your are not bricked. just be careful next time.
Help!
I think I effed up. I finally was able to install the JF 1.5. I was messing around with themes and then i rebooted it. I hit alt W and now it's stuck on the new android logo. It seems to be freezing and it wont get passed that screen. What can I do, if anything??

I bought a Rogers HTC Magic for a pretty cheap price. It had The Rogers 1.5 Sense UI update on it. I decided I wanted to root it and load other ROMs, etc. So I read that the easiest method was to use Universal Androot to root it, and ROM Manager (from the Market) to flash the appropriate recovery image.
So, I installed both apps. I first ran Universal Androot and rooted. I confirmed root through ADB and also Super User permissions. I then restarted the phone just for peace of mind. After the restart, I ran ROM Manager. It automatically popped up and asked me if I was running an Ion/My Touch or an HTC Magic. I selected HTC Magic, because that's what this is. So then it flashed the recovery image and restarted the phone. When it restarted it went to the Rogers boot screen for a few seconds, and then started a loop of restarts. That's all it does now. It shows the Rogers screen for a few seconds, goes black and reboots over and over. I have tried booting into HBOOT, Fastboot, and into recovery. I cannot boot into any of them. One thing I did notice is that when I'm pressing any of the combinations (volume down + power, home + power, menu + power) for a very brief half a second right before the phone restarts, the bottom of the screen says "ClockwordMod ..." where ... is the version of the image (I'm at work without the phone, so I don't recall the exact number there).
So, is this thing officially a paperweight now, or is there some sort of hope?
Thanks.
Paul
Well, I don't know if you are full-bricked but here is what went wrong. The HTC Magic recovery is incorrect for the mytouch3g (at least the 32b). There was a top option for "saphire/mytouch 3g" which is what you should have chosen. So, you can't load the incompatible recovery. Can't you boot back into the rom you were using? The recovery flash shouldn't have messed with it. If you can, boot back in and flash the correct mytouch3g recovery in rom manager.

Okay. That's weird. I mean, my phone is a Magic so choosing the option for the Magic instead of the Ion/MyTouch seemed to make sense.
Anyway, I cannot get anywhere. Holding vol+ and power does nothing, neither does home and power or back and power. Are there any other tricks to getting anywhere beyond this endless restart loop?
Thanks.
Starting to think I'm screwed.

You may be, I'm not sure exactly what state you are in but the recovery you installed was for a magic 32a (that you have) with a 3.x radio (that you don't have)
The rogers sense rom uses the 6.x hero radio and needs a hero recovery.
The mt3g uses a 2.x radio thus yet another recovery.
Try booting with volume down to see if you can get into the hboot/fastboot screen, but I think you tried this already.. you may also try letting it loop unplugged until the battery drains it may error out giving you access again..
Besides that there is the option of jtag and fixing the software stack that way.

Right, I cannot get into fastboot or hboot. I'll try running the battery down when I get home today. Interesting idea.
Unfortunately running the battery dead with restarts didn't do the trick.
Any idea if there's any place I can send it to who has the smarts to jtag recover this thing?
Thanks.
me too
I did the same thing on a 32B. Rooted. loaded ROM Manager. Ran the recovery, I choose the Ion/MT3G option. tried to load CM6-FroyoRedux-v1.7-32b-blk.zip. Now it's stuck in the boot screen.

I don't think it's the same thing.
I rooted, loaded ROM Manager and installed the recovery. I was never even able to get into recovery in order to try to load any ROMs.
I have a Rogers magic, and its a 32a. One way to fix it is to go to the HTC website and punch in your serial number and download the rogers update. Only problem is that will make it a pain to root again. But should fix that reboot loop. But do that as a last resort to get the phone running again.

The phone does not identify itself to the computer, so this doesn't work.
The program should try to put the phone into fastboot mode, and install the upgrade. Have you tried pulling the battery and pressing the power button + back, once the battery is installed again?

Oh yes. I've gone crazy trying every key combination with every combination of taking battery out, plugging it in, USB cable attached, detached, etc.
The phone never identifies itself as a piece of hardware to the computer in the 5 seconds between reboots.
I had the same problem yesterday, and i was doing the same rooting with Universal Androot and flashing recovery witch Rom Manager (choose the same options). I tried to go into recovery and then it started to bootlooping the whole time.
I was pretty scared when that happens, can't open fastboot menu and the only thing that my phone was showing was HTC logo and a quick blink of clockwork sign over and over.
I don't know exactly how i managed to fix it, but it started to work when i quickly plug off baterry and i immiediatly plug it in (I was doing it at the exactly time when the phone reboots) while holding the power button.
Now my magic turns on, but recovery won't work (just flash for a moment, and reboots) and it always say at the beginning of booting system that SD card was removed which means i can't use any SD card.
I hope it somehow helped you.

I tried doing this quickly for about 5 minutes this morning but didn't get it to go anyway. I can try some more after work today.
When you say it booted after this battery pull thing, do you mean the phone booted right into Android, or you were able to get to hboot or fastboot?
Thanks.

I wasn't able to get hboot or fastboot. I pluged off and on the battery in the exact moment when the Logo came out after restarting. The logo was on the screen for the whole time, even while battery plugged off. I guess, i've done it so quickly that phone didn't switched off.
I think i was holding the power+home or power+back buttons all the time.
Can't really rember the exact way, sorry.

Try removing the SD card and booting if its not restarting due to the wrong radio too soon that may help.. if you get into android restore the SD card and run the exploid process I posted a bit back for rogers magics, or the older goldcard method.
I've played around with taking the battery out and putting it right back in at all different times during the booting and can't get the phone to behave any differently. Iv'e tried it with SD card in and SD card out, USB cable in and USB cable out. I can't get anywhere.
I did notice that the phone does show up as an Android device for a second when it's booting. Tried to catch it in adb but no luck.
Starting to think this thing is shot. Any other ideas?
Just so everyone can see what's happening, I recorded a video and uploaded it. Linked below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPoxMzm0MVU&hd=1
try to hold and KEEP holding the back + power... Not volume down!
Don't push and release like you did in the video.
Ok so my phone is fine turns on normally and stuff except when i try to get into the area to flash a new rom (by holding home and power) it just puts me into a boot loop.. it flashes htc then goes away then flashes htc again.. over and over till i stop and then it will just boot normally with no problems at all... but i don't like the rom i have on it right now and want it gone...
can anyone help?
also this is not the first time flashing a rom, i change roms every 2 days or or.. lol i like moving around. could it be that somehow i broke root? is there a way to test if i have root still?
any help at all??? need more info???? anything?????
Hey you guys
I recently installed amon ra's recovery v. 1.7 on my magic 32a (radio 6.3.5 something) after I rooted my phone, of course.
Now, I thought that with the new recovery I would be easily able to flash a custom rom onto my magic. This was however not so easy, because the recovery behaves in a very weird way. Whenever I tell it to flash a new rom from a .zip image, or wipe the phone, or anything, it just reboots my magic and thats it. Also, the recovery happens to freeze quite regularly when I don't act very quickly. E.g. when I boot into recovery mode and don't touch the phone for the first 5 seconds, it wont respond any longer.
So, I'm probably doing something wrong here. I would appreciate any help from anyone. (and btw, i have the official android 1.5 sense rom installed on my magic, os I cant use rom manager either, since it only supports android 1.6 upwards.)
Look at the root guide in my signature..
Do step 0, 1, 2, 5 and 7 only.
It should flash the recovery partition one more time.
Hopefully it will fix your problem :0)

hey, thanks for the quick response. I still have a few questions though, since I am quite a newb. So when I type all of those commands into cmd, doesnt my device need to be connected to the computer somehow? I read somewhere earlier that I simply connect it using the "mount" funtion, the problem is that that doesnt seem to work anymore for my magic, because after I hit "mount" it simply goes back to "usb connected" without acutally mounting. So ..how do I connect the device to the PC while entering the commands?
ok... my bad..
Try to read the ENTIRE guide... then do the steps i mentioned above :0)
Don't mount it... just connected... but again.. read the guide.
thanks a lot
I didnt use your method to flash the image, but the hero recovery works way better than the one I had before. I managed to flash a rom now. So happy ;D
ok i think i just did a bad mistake
i installed rom manager after i had flashed an android 2.1 rom on my magic. THen i told it to flash some rom from my sd card and also wipe some data, or something. Now my magic gets stuck on the magic bootscreen, like it keeps looping. Did i brick my phone ..or is there a way to fix this? please help me, (
most likely is that the rom you flashed doesn't have a compatible kernel for your phone.
Just boot into recovery and flash a rom that is compatible.
cant boot into recovery ..it just keeps looping
Then you will need to boot into fastboot and reflash a working recovery.
Clockwork has issues flashing the clockwork recovery sometimes.
to boot into fastboot i need to hold power and back, right? ..that doesnt work either. again, it just keeps looping.
so, guys ..did i brick my phonne..?? :S

you're probably not doing it right. you should still be able to get into recovery or fastboot and install a different recovery. i'm using RA-magic+v1.7.0.1 recovery it has bugs but pretty stable.
so what am i doing wrong??
just realized when i connect the phone to my pc over usb and then boot it, it connects to the pc for a second or less and then disconnects again. Dont know if this helps anyhow.
pull battery, put battery back in. hold back and push power.
Should be good.
tried that like 50 times. phone just keeps looping ..like, it restart over and over again.
What you have is what hundreds before you had when they used Rom manager.
The system will not boot into anything.
My advice is to never use Rom manager for 32A device.
The fix:
Keep pushing the back button while the system reboots... just mash the **** out of it..
I helped out someone before you, and he did it for over an hour or so...
It's a timing issue...
Good luck
haha ..so is there still hope?
cheers for all the answers ;D
i do have one question though, actually.
Shall i just press the back button continuously ...while it keeps looping, or should i rather restart the device after each loop and hold the back button?
just mash the back button.
Hi.
I was running cm7.1 and flashing to cm9, when the battery fell out (my stupid mistake) when it was installing cm9.
Now all that comes up on the display when I start her up is the Google/cm logo.
Pressing vol down while starting dosent get me in recovery mode, but pressing vol up does get me in bootloader mode. When I plugged the phone to the PC, it downloaded something, so that works...
The problem is that I dont konw what to do from here, I bet the awnser is out here, but I dont konw what to search for.
Anyone got a minute to help, I bet its a simple fix :]
Thanks
I guess the "simple fix" would be using RSD Lite to flash some stock or fixed sfb from Recovery and start over (root, 2nd init..)
Well, thats awsome, installed new stb driver with rds tool, ran the setup, and after a long wait the phone is back in action.
Thanks alot!!
