Hey everyone,
i was trying to root my HTC Magic, following this guide:
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting
i installed RAv1.2.0 : Modded ION recovery! (the H version)
used fastboot
fastboot boot recovery-new.img
then i told it to update from the update.zip that i put on the microSD card.
it said it finished loading the firmware, i did a reset, and now the phone wont load
its just stuck in the "HTC Magic" message that it does when loading, and dosnt get out of it.
I tried doing a battery pull, dosnt solve it.
i can still get into fastboot mode.
Can anyone tell me what i did wrong and how to recover my phone?
thanks.
BTW, my phone is rev 32A
OK, i fixed my issue,
connected my microSD to another phone, put the version
[Updated 7/22] [ROM] RAv1.1.0 (HTC branded Magics)
Can anyone tell me whats the most recommended version?
maybe something with multitouch?
I liked the original one as well
but i needed root to install the hebrew fonts
this might be in the wrong section not sure.....
Ok i dont think my phone is bricked because i can a use it... i just cant boot into recovery. when i try to it just hangs on the mytouch 3g splash screen... (The one that you get when you first boot your phone)
It all started when i installed ROM manager and installed the recovery image they want you to use... but when it wouldnt let me boot into recovery i used rom manger to flash back recovery-1.6.2 and i still cant boot back... Please help...
Thanks in Advance
Phone - Tmobile Mytouch 3G (32b) White

never mind i got it to work
here's the story,
i installed rom manager from the market. flashed the clockwork recovery using it, then tried to flash a new rom using rom manager. i am sure that the rom is compatible with my settings. now my phone is in the boot loop and i can't get into recovery nor the bootloader. any help?
32a s-off
radio 6.35
2007 spl
i can only remember the basics of my device since i can't get into the bootloader...
THANKSSS
Did you pull the battery and then try booting into recovery/bootloader? If you get thrown into the bootloop when you put the battery back in, try holding back/home while putting the battery in.
Thanks for helping me! I actually did try that method but I was back to boot loop again. I really hate that "Rogers" screen.
Does that mean I'm bricked for good?
as it turns out, HTC makes magical device as it cured itself from the brick!!
i basically gave up and just left it running till the battery goes out, the next day, it is booted into the rom.
truly magical!!!!
True happened to me once when I tried to load my first rom. Just let it sit there while I'm searching the forums trying to look for some answers then voila it booted up properly
too bad i semi bricked it AGAIN!!! i really am bad at this...
flashed rogers official rom over cm. should have done some research first. still trying to fix it. but its not bad, learn a lot everything time i do something wrong.
Did you wipe prior to flashing a new rom?
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
I've done the same mistake and my device hanged at rogers rom with radion 3.22 and SPL 1.76 S-ON. I've briked mine very bad that time, but yours might yet be recoverable. If you have s-off, the i think you're saved. Post your hboot info here...

I have tried flashing the Ruu and it seemed like its sending the data but its not cuz i waited almost an hr, i then unplugged it but it went into white screen displaying HTC. I then have to remove the battery and put it back in holding power button+down to go back into recovery. I downloaded the ruu its on my desktop but i dont know the process of flashing it, i also put it in debug mode to mention but other than that im stuck please help if anyone knows the process i will appreciated also my custom rom is cm7 stable please help thanx peace...
Fine the "one zip back to stock" ruu thread in the development subforum. Download that file, put it on your sd card, and reboot to the bootloader.
i dont need a signature
Thanx u the man!!!
