[Q] HELP！Did I bricked my phone?

It is not boot with "HTC Magic" text on black background and stalled at all. And, I even can not boot it in recover (using HOME+POWER) or in HBOOT (using BACK+POWER) ...
It happened after I flash it with a Google ION radio image following the guide found in http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html#s1.
My phone was (before):
----------------------------
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP*****)
CPLD-10
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Jun 2 2009, 17:27:03
----------------------------
What I did exactly is below:
1. 'adb push' the radio image (ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip) into the /sdcard/update.zip
2. In Amon_RA's recovery tool, flashed the /sdcard/update.zip. When got the prompt I reboot the phone using menu.
3. It seems rebooted but stay in another strange screen that I never saw: that is an open box, beside that stands a green adroid robot.
4. I feel the screen stay too long and seemed halt, then I removed the battery and try to boot again.
From now on, in whatevery method, I can only get a dead screen with "HTC Magic" white text on a whole dark screen.
Can I save my phone? I am crying .... What's wrong in my steps?
HELP!

It's dead fo' shizzle.
I assume it was a Rogers Magic (32A)? I know the SPL says it'd 32B, but I've seen people flash all kinds of crap and end up with hboot showing the wrong board, and I'm pretty sure that's a 32A radio you're running. You flashed a radio image for 32B to a 32A phone... you shouldn't have done that.

Actually I also suspect if it is really a 32B as HBOOT said, since in a recovery flashing process I found Amon_RA's 32A version works but 32B does not. I posted the question in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750307, but no one reply to me! If you saw the thread and see something earlier, my phone can be saved
So, my question is, is there no any solution to recovery my phone any more?

black android screen after OTA

The OTA froyo update from t-mobile/google/whomever messed up my myTouch 3G 1.5mm phone. It worked perfectly for a few months post froyo then it started randomly rebooting. Then it just got stuck on the black Android screen animation screen. I can get into FASTBOOT and Recovery but in Recovery, the action button does not work. I've read that the update makes the button inoperable in recovery.
So my question: is my phone beyond repair? I shelved the phone and bought a t-mo comet (but the screen cracked last night, killing the phone). I'm desperate.

[Q] Bricked my HTC Magic (32B, UK Vodafone) Help please?

I have been playing around with my old HTC magic trying to root and install custom roms. I managed to root it (Goldcard Method).
I then could not get any ROMs to load. They would all hang on the Vodafone splash screen.
This is what I had written down from bootloader:
Sapphire PVT 32B SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009

RADIO-3.22.20.17
May 8 2009.....
I thought that the radio should of been 2.22.19.26i (European 32B Magics) so I downloaded that image, and flashed the radio.
And then I bricked it!
When I turn it on it just shows the Vodafone splash screen, Cannot boot into custom recovery, no bootloader.
Can anyone help???
more info if it means anything:
The only thing I can get it to do is when i press the trackball and power, the blue LED turns on with a black screen.
When I plug it in turned off, the orange charging led turns on.
I managed to get android 1.5 with root before breaking it.

If you have the skills/tools you can fix it with JTAG. Otherwise, like you said, its a brick

mmm, I'm going to give JTAG a attempt. Got nothing to lose...
Anyone had any experience with unbricking with JTAG and can offer any advise?
Thanks

[Q] Installing custom firmware problem

I have a HTC Magic which i got from amazon just recently. I'm guessing that its from Etisalat since their logo boots up with the phone. Anyways, I'm have trouble entering recovery mode. After holding the home+power button for it to turn on, it just sits on Etisalat boot screen. I have no idea what to do. :'( On a side note, what do you think would be the best custom rom to install?

Just need SPL-info from your phone
1. Turn phone off
2. Turn on by pressing and holding Back + Power
3. Write first 5 strings with ALL symbols here

I found this thread but it seems the question is still unanswered. My HTC Magic also came from etisalat company (I bought it from Newegg.com in US though). The problem are 1. the phone is in Arabian language and I found no way to change it 2. there is NO Android Market App!! 3. I can't delete or download new applications. All applications the phone has are ones for Arabian people.. like praying app.. !!
I can't find Android Market application.. that's weird, isn't it? This phone is not smart, it's like a dead phone. I can't download apps.
I did what you suggested, I got this:
sapphire pvt 32a ship s-on h
hboot-1.33 0010 (SAPP10000)

Radio-3.22.20.17

I'm thinking.. should I just replace the phone with the manufacturer? If this phone has been unlocked in a wrong way. Or I should play around with the root and try to upgrade the phone. Most of the comments and instruction online are for T-mobile ones. Seriously, I don't know if all HTC magic (like T-mobile and Etisalat) would have the same hardware.
P.S. I bought this unlocked phone to use with a prepaid sim card without data plan.
Please advice!
