Hi. I were running a rooted stock rom with the newest radio and spl and ra recovery. I decided to try rom manager(i think thats what its called). I flashed the recovery, i believe it is called clockwork. When i rebooted my phone it just keeps rebooting at the htc logo. I cant enter recovery or anything. Is there a way out of this or can i just throw it in the dumpster?
Can you get into fastboot? Take the battery out and pop it back in. Then try powering on holding down back+power. You should get a screen with three Androids skateboarding. If you can get the port the information here. If you can and it just does the boot loop, do the battery again hitting the back button repeatedly, give that a few tries and see where it gets you.

Thanks for your reply but i cannot get into fastboot either. Ive tried holding every single key while booting xD. It just keeps doing the same thing. Reboot at the "HTC Magic" screen. I hangs for some seconds so ive also tried to see if i could grab it from adb but without success.

Did they take it back under the warranty? Did you mod your phone?
Do you get the blue led & black screen when pressing trackball + power at boot?

So that means your device isn't fully bricked - your hardware seems to be working, and you should be able to restore the device using JTAG (search the forums). Though I managed to restore mine by resetting some stuff with draining battery and repeatedly trying again. I'd recommend you to try too.
Hi
I own a HTC magic from rogers. Im on android 2.1 and 32a motherboard. I tried to root my phone today by using super one click, and it said it was successful. So then i tried to install a rom using Rom manager from the market. I made a custom recovery then tried to install a cyanogen mod 6.1 EB1. It told me to restart my phone so i did. Now my phone just show the rogers screen and restarts. I have tried to hold the power button with the back/home/volume button to no avail. Is my phone bricked?
Thanks for your time

Pull the battery, put the battery back in, and hold (home+power) until you get into the recovery or the phone starts bootlooping again and let me know what happens.

Did you leave the battery out for a few seconds. Does it go right back into the bootloop or does it start to boot normally and then starts the loop? Did you try doing the same thing holding back and power?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk
yea, ive tried all the possible of holding buttons (home, back, volume down) and pressing power and none of them have any effect. The phone keeps boot looping. Basically what happens is then i press power, it shows the rogers logo for about 10 seconds, then turns off, then turns back on and shows the rogers logo again. This cycle keeps going on and on. Do you have any more suggestions
Thanks
This has happend to many people trying to use the rom-manager. It's mainly because RM is more for the 32B devices.
But you can still save the phone... just keep pushing the back button and keep restarting..'
I know someone who did for an hour, but he managed to get into fastboot :0)
Hey thanks for the advice
When you mean press back and restarting, do you mean constantly press back while the phone is in bootloop, or take out the battery and put it back in and press back
patel,
i have had the same problem as you. forget rom-manager with phone =\
Google "htc magic keeps restarting" should find info on how to get it into fastboot - i think.
I fixed my problem by downloading the 1.5 sense update from htc's website.
Plug my constantly rebooting phone to my computer and run the RUU update.
Then the phone should automatically grab 2.1 ota - i did this back in december.
So it fixed this problem and i never dared to try and put a custom rom on this phone again.
good luck.
What is the RUU update youare speaking of is it the regular download from HTC?
I don't know if the phone is bricked, i sure hope not.
I had cm7 final running just fine. I was installing a kernel from clockwork recovery, and i followed the instructions. It installed, i told it to reboot the phone, it came to the cm7 blue booting screen. it kept repeating that for over 20 minutes. at that point i pulled the battery and replaced it. then i think it was stuck at the tmobile splash screen for a while. i was able to reboot and get to recovery mode again, i wiped cache and tried to install the kernel again, this time got an error. now it went to tmo splash screen and froze there for a while. after another battery pull, nothing will display on the screen and i cannot access recovery mode (i try by holding volume down, then holding power button). the ONLY thing that does happen is that the lcd backlight will stay on until i pull the battery. i plugged into pc without the battery, lcd lights up, but its not recognized by windows or adb.
I'd be grateful for any possible help or ideas, thanks in advance.
Could you give more info on Rom recovery kernel you were attempting etc?

Can you boot into the bootloader? Which one is installed? How can we help if we have no idea what's installed on your phone? There could be hope if you can boot into the bootloader and have the engineering SPL installed.
Also, what kernel were you trying to install?

He did? I only saw that he could not boot into recovery. I was thinking if his recovery is screwed up, he could still use fastboot to flash a new recovery and then be able to wipe and start over. If he can't get into the bootloader or recovery, then yeah, it's the dreaded B word.
I'd really like to know what kernel he was trying to flash.

I was flashing the #107 kernel from this thread:
[Kernel]Gingerbread[2.6.32.36]MaxOC~1.84GHz,Smartass/UV/BFS/BFQ/SLQB-Faux123[Apr-10]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957267
I'm not sure if there's a different procedure to get into hboot as opposed to recovery. I've only had the mytouch 4g for about a week (always had Nexus one before). After pulling and replacing the battery, i hold volume down, then hold power button. Is that how to get into recovery and/or hboot, or is there another procedure I can try?
I used the visionary app to obtain root, install rom manager, then installed clockword mod recovery and cm7 through that. Working fine for a few days until i decided to flash the kernel to get better battery life....

Unfortunatly its the same procedure, hold volume down and power on. So if when u do that nothing happens and adb doesn't work your phone is done.

A little more info, maybe good news...i've been trying to get it to do anything for the last few hours. i had the battery out for a while. When i would plug it into AC charger or my pc with no battery, nothing would happen. however now i put in the battery, plugged it into the pc, and NOW the orange charging light is on like its charging...i haven't tried to turn it on or anything yet though.

I'm not sure what the exact status of your phone is, but usually flashing a kernel does not brick the phone. If anything the ROM won't run right or there will be other problems, but never do they prevent the phone from booting into recovery (the recovery partition uses a completely different kernel). When you try turning it on again, don't bother trying to let it boot normally. Hold down power and volume down and see if you can get into recovery. Then run all three wipe options and flash a new ROM.

It's happened to me before where I thought I had completely bricked the phone. It crashed in CM7 RC2 when I tried to mess with the DSP settings. After that, I went through the same situation as you. I got tired of it, left it charging overnight while it was stuck on the splash screen. The next morning, it was on like nothing happened. I'm thinking it just needed to sort itself out. Not really a fix or suggestion, but at least an indication that there is hope.
Nah, its dead man. Not on its entirety but virtually. I know that JTAG could be an option albeit, im not sure.
I can assure you though that there must be something extra u must have missed that caused this, did you play with radio's or SPL's? Cause that is how i bricked a magic lol
blah
mine bricked on restoring. got to the point of not responding to anything - power button and even charge indicator no longer worked.
sorry to hear OP. it's bricked.

By saying that you used the visionary app to obtain root, is that all you did? Then installed rom manager and etc etc etc? Did you go through the full root method to get S=OFF as well?
Well previous to using visionary...i was trying another method to root using the terminal, but it wasn't working, so then i found visionary and used that. I never interacted with the phone using adb, if it matters. If i never really had s=off, could this be why this whole thing happened?

Not really, if you were able to run a custom ROM with no problems before then you were rooted properly. Somwhere after you must have gone wrong, not sure where

Hello Guys,
i have a question about problem i have with my DEsire HD.
I've turned my device of last night and i tryed to put it on this morning, but its freezes at the white Backround Green "HTC" screen. I've taken out the battery and gave it another try, but it still freezes the same way.
I thought i can fix the problem by Updating from revolution hd 6.1.0 to 6.1.1 but at the installation with recovery mode over boot laoder ( power on + vol down ), i get an error Status 7.
I've searched google and found you have to super wipe your device and wipe the cache, ive done this and now i only can acces the Bootloader if i try to get to recovery mode, the recov mode loops.
Is there a way to unbrick my dive over H-Boot USB Plug?
Get the sdk, go bootloader, and do 'flash recovery recovery name.img'

If that doesnt work, you could always redownload the stock 1.32 rom [Download link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003] and paste it onto the SD card. When booting into bootloader it should re-install the stock rom. You'll have to re-root and install recovery again.
It s not a brick for sure...
Think I've bricked mine, when I attempt to power on, nothing happens except for 5 short battery vibrations, black screen, green battery light stays on. I have a back up but cant acces recovery to install it. Please HELP!!
Id reckon its hard to brick them nowadays

This has happened to me a couple of times, remove the battery and leave it out for a couple of minutes, reboot and voila (although it might not boot to OS, you should at least be able to access recovery)
Hi. DId you fix the issue. I have 2 devices with the same simptoms, i flashed stock rom, custom roms, but nothing helps. I think problem is in radio, cause even if i flash it from fastboot and it gives me that ok is OK, radio version didn't change.
