I have a HTC magic fender and it is bricked i belive im not really good at the android op system as i am a ios man myself but im trying to unbrick the phone for a friend. so here is what it will do and what i will not do.
it will charge.
it will turn on BUT it will not go past logo screen (stays as the HTC MAGIC screen)
i can enter blue light mode.
can not enter recovery mode
my friend said he was trying to install a new radio what ever that means.
im new to this forum so please please please if you can help that would be awesome or direct me a forum where i can get my answer thank you guys so much!
As far as i read in the forums, once you bricked it, there's no other way(software to unbricked) it....but if your techinal guy can do soldering of chips may do...
i'l try to find that forums and give the link to you.
Can you get into fastboot or hboot? Try turning the phone on holding back+power and see you get anything different.

Explain please?
JTAG is a method that involves creating a serial connection from your computer to your phone to get into the mainboard and making changes. It involves about $80 in hardware costs plus you'll need decent electronics knowledge. There's a guide in the Wiki on how to do it, but it's no simple task.

Hello. I bought an HTC Magic on eBay today. That dude says to me that the htc works fine but the battery is very weak.
Ok. I received the HTC, tried to turn on but nothing happends...
When I press the power button, the orange led (Charging one I guess) is turning off and the phone is no longer responding. My PC does not recognize him.
I can't start in fastboot.
When I press Trackball + Power + Vol. Down the LED is changing in blue.
Any advice is welcome!
I'm pretty sure this is the wrong forum. Also, CAPS IS ANNOYING!!! And won't get your question solved ANY FASTER
Since I understand your pain. I'd suggest you go get a battery from battery+ or something or find a friend with a magic and borrow their battery. Just to see if it really is the battery.

I think so...
Is there any hope with that blue LED thing?
Yeah.... thanks to everyone for any "help". You guys are great...
find the return address on the package it came in aand go pay that guy a visit
Since you bought it off eBay, hopefully you paid with Paypal. If so, file a complaint with eBay and get your money back.
Indeed. I think you got jacked. You probably bought a bricked Magic. If you cant do anything with a new battery and you cant get into fastboot. Then you have a bricked phone.

Firstly, you need to post more info..
Secondly, did you have 3button recovery or download mode before flash? Do they not work now?
Thirdly, you needed to post this in the q&a section.
Fourthly, let this be a lesson for people to be careful when doing things for thier phones.. An expensive brick is still just a brick!

If you can't get download or recovery working the only option you have is make the jig to try to get it working again, or send the phone back saying it broke and you don't know what happened.
Also just for kicks try heating the back with ha hair dryer and then using three button combo to get to download.. some have said that works.. lol
Other than that i'm not sure anyone can help.

I'm in a similar predicament - while flashing Darky 7.0 via ROM manager, during the clockworkmod phase, and before being completed, the screen went black -- and has remained that way ever since.
Doesn't respond to three button, download mode, or any power on combination. I ordered a jig and will try that as a last resort, but not really holding out much hope.
Is there some other way? Otherwise, I'm getting ready to ship it back to Samsung. Should I send to Korea, Singapore or elsewhere for best service (am currently in USA).

Do you mean the SGS does not power on at all? Or it goes black at some point during boot-up?
If it's the latter, there is still some hope (with the jig you ordered). Otherwise, it probably needs to be sent in for repairs (within US, why would you want to send it to Korea / Singapore!? Is it an international model you bought elsewhere?)
/also, check the battery first
Hi
I found a tool that helped me to unbrick my phone without buying the usb jig since you dont need it as long as you see it boots
its a very easy way, if your phone doesnt go to recovery or download mood using the 3 button method
download this file http://www.multiupload.com/AGK2BBUDGQ
once you download abtool
extract it and put it to your C drive , so it look like c:/abdtool
connect your vibrant via usb to your computer even if it stuck at samsung screen
choose which you want, the recovery or download mood, and click on either recovery.bat or download.bat
and it will take you to it
hope that helped
Regards,
Sami
*LOL* what to say...
You do understand that you only need the jig if you phone wont turn on at all and display NO screen, virbant or otherwise, right?
LOL QUE?
You guys are funny
well i am not pro like you, i had a problem and i managed to fix it without the JIG
so i wanted to share to help people, not to show off

You also managed to fix it without a wrench.
You fixed it without a spoon.
You fixed it without a power drill, a cucumber or an orgasm.
All of which are equally relevant.

Wrong. If your phone is hardware locked, and you are stuck at the Vibrant screen, you NEED the JIG. Don't berate someone for trying to help, when you yourself don't know what you are talking about.

because before i found this method, there was no other way for anything to let the phone respond unless you buy the jig or you made one yourself
i ordered one but i couldnt wait it to arrive since i was running with no phone until i came across this method, and though to share it
It's alright I didnt care about clowns as long as it will help someone out there like it did help me

I mean I always get into download mode by plugging in the usb while holding both up and down on the volume rocker, but this method will be much more convenient. I'll definitely try it out later though.

My phone i guess is a newer version, wont let me go to download mode while holding both up and down then connect it the usb from computer to the phone
so this was the only method that worked, other than using a Jig
you can also use this guide for a true brick (No Jig needed. I know it works it is how I brought mine back to life.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848737
you could also use the Android SDK which has the adb tools which will allow you to reboot into recovery
you can also use this guide (even though you don't need all of it)

Yeah but it would have been easier if he used the cucumber.
my phone works with buttons, but the jig is still faster.

I am sure the JIG would be faster, mine haven't arrived yet
and i tried every method out there nothing had any respond on the phone, until i came across this one
so maybe this will help someone out there with no jig
My phone is hard brick, it shows black screen. How can I fix?
What do you mean with black screen? Display is completely off or does it show anything? Does your phone show any reaction or nothing at all?

If your device is really hard bricked.There's only one way .Your i9000's motherboard is need for change and it costs you like 70$
How did you bricked your device? accidently check re-partition when flashing kernel?
Electricity went off? Unplugged the cable when odin was sayin' "DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET" ?

My phone was also bricked(no reaction at all) , and I used unbrickable resurrector to get it into dl mode. I think you only have to let repair your phone when hardware is dead.

My phone's ~ 2 years old and is showing its age. Folks at the service centre suggested that I change the motherboard. Would you help me with a few links to the sellers of that please.
Probably not necessary. Use the search function for Adam outler's unbrickable mod. It is impossible to brick a galaxy s1. Your motherboard being knackered, is of course a different matter......

You can try to enter download mode with the 3 button combo but with the battery out.
While you press "vol down" + "home button" + "power" slide in your battery with you cheek !
Hey!
I am planning to probably buy HTC HD2 from one guy. When he tries to boot it, it just vibrates and buttons blink. That's all. Is there any solution to fix it or only JTAG? Thanks.
Can he get into boot loader? If so, then yes...
Volume down + power button once its off will boot into boot loader. From there you can load a rom.

dont buy it, unless its, erm, , $free, , there are enough cheap working ones around nowadays, by teh time you JTAG that one (which doesn't always work, there are plenty of possible faults that jtag wont fix) you will have spent the same a a reasonable working 2nd hand one.
Thanks for replies. I try to ask him if he can get into bootloader.

Getting into bootloader is not a guarantee you can revive it!
