Stucked!

Please, give me some help!
I used this to unroot theunlockr. com/2009/10/06/how-to-unroot-the-htc-magic-non-mytouchget-back-to-cupcake/. It doesn't say that it isn't for 32A. I used it, and after installing it said Wrong Id, and every time I'm booting up my phone, I can't get in, but it is only shows me the "Htc Magic" screen.
I used another cyanogen update. I did the update, but it didn't fix the problem.
Please, help me!
Thanks in advance!

It doesn't need to say if its 32A since Rogers has the 32A Magic with 288MB Ram and Sense UI now. The 32B can be unrooted with the sapphire.nbh file.The only RUU there is for the Rogers Magic.

And now, what I have to do?

If you can't get into the recovery mode or fast boot then your probably bricked.

I can get in! =)
But, what I have to do to make it again like before. I press the "wipe", but nothing happens. I have again the same problem.

Not sure which recovery your using but can you get Amon_RA 1.5.2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
After upgrading try reinserting your sd and wipe all the options.

I did this
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
Connect your phone via usb to your pc/mac/...
adb shell
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img
as I had cyanogen 1.4, but now, I am pressing Home+Power, and I can't get into the recovery menu!
(I can get into FastBoot)

Can you do it the Fastboot way?

After what I've done at the first post, I can't find any device in fastboot via
Code:
adb devices

I forgot to say something! When I am writing fastboot devices, it gives me this:

What did your phone do while this was happening?

It was working as a brand.

When you do Cam+Power can you tell me what it says, did the update change your radio or SPL.

When I am doing cam(I think cam is Home button)+Power, it doesn't do anything! It just stays at the boot screen.

Pull the battery out then, hold those buttons and see what happens.Wait, did you reboot after flashing the recovery image?

You mean to start the phone without the battery? I am doing this, but nothing happens.

No, take it out then put it in and then hold the 2 buttons.

[Q] How do I create a full backup of my phone?

I've read around and i think i need to create a nandroid backup, however i cant see any mention of how to do this with the DHD. Is it the same or do I need to do something else?
I'm very new to android and I'm sure its not only me that would appreciate an idiots guide, if anyone would like to write one.

Follow the steps(especially 1. And 3.) of this guide : h t t p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076[/url] to have root amd recovery and make.your backup from Rom Manager or from recovery.

I have root and S-off already, I followed a guide by evostance which i can no longer find.
How do i check if i really have s-off?
Ive tried getting into the boot loader. turn off phone, hold volume down and then hit power but i just boot straight into my home screen

Connect phone to a computer, open a cmd in android sdk folder and write command "adb reboot bootloader". Other way is to disable fastboot, shutdown, hold volume down and tap power.

So you are at the white screen that says hboot? It should be the second option on that screen saying recovery, use the volume keys to move to it, then use the power button to select it.

you can boot into your rom and then reflash recovery, I flash mine a few times as rarely its there the first time

Grab the PC36IMG.zip file from the Amon Ra thread and put it on your SD card. Boot to the bootloader, let it find the file, and update to flash the amon ra recovery. I hate clockworkmod. It's never been as consistent for me as Amon Ra.

you wiped your boot or system partition didn't you?
hold volume down while turning your phone on and it should bring a menu with three android guys at the bottom, once there use the volume buttons to select recovery and then push power to select it. That will get you into the recovery where you can flash a ROM. If it doesn't let you get into the recovery from there and you still have the autoroot folder on your computer you can run the file 'FlashZip' script and tell it to flash the SprintLovers_AmonRA... file. Just put it in fastboot mode before hand by selecting fastboot instead of recovery from the hboot

It sounds like you have the old debug firmware installed, the screen with the red triangle is the stock recovery. Pushing vol up + power in it should bring up a menu although there is nothing in there that is of use except reboot.
With the triangle showing on your phone run the FlashZip script and it should reboot you in to the bootloader, once it does that hit enter when it warns you about your bootloader being unlocked and it will give a list of different PC36IMG files. You'll want to flash the one that says SprintLovers-AmonRA to make sure everything is up to date.

When I experienced the red triangle and inability to boot into recovery, following step #10 of the link below pushed a temporary recovery onto the phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
You still need to flash (by some means), a permanent recovery.
You can do so using either the PC36IMG.zip method, adb shell, or through console.

holy f !!!!! you developin son of *****!!!!! you are the man!!!!! you literally just saved my life i just got this phone yesterday and my girlfreind is on her way to kill me... so now what do i do about recovery and am i still rooted... and how do i give you money???

Phone won't turn on, please help

Before I get flamed, I have searched the forums, but the threads are NOT helpful. (some old, and I don't want to hi-jack anyonelse's thread)
THis is NOT my phone. I am trying to help, so bare with me. I have the SK4G and G2x, so this device is a bit different for me.
Apparently, my friend tried flashing a custom rom, it took too long and he pulled the battery. NOW the phone refuses to turn on. The computer recognizes the device, but I am unable to boot into bootloader.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

What is "recognizing the device", and what happens when you turn it off and then turn it on while pressing VolumeDown (or VolumeUp)?

Technically pulling battery during a ROM flash shouldn't cripple the phone. unless that is another side effect of the bad emmc chip, in which case you may be out of luck. but as the previous poster said, try booting whilst holding down the volume down key and see what happens.

I have tried the down volume button and power... up volume and power... home and power, all to no avail.
If I connect it to the PC it recognizes the device.

It booted into bootloader, but I can't select anything. I am guessing its the POWER button now.
The issue now is getting it back to stock and s-on in order to return it to TMOBILE. I can't select anything since the power button doesn't work. and I am not good at all with ADB.

can you select by pressing the optical trackpad instead of the power button?

It's okay, we have no problem helping people who are willing to help themselves.
From the Bootloader type in
Code:
reboot
since the phone doesn't have a working ROM it should boot into the recovery mode again
Well what you'll need to do is download the PD15IMG file PD15IMG
pull the SD Card w/o pulling the battery, and store just the PD15IMG.zip on the root of the SDcard.
Then type in
Code:
adb reboot recovery
again and unplug the phone. It should ask if you want to restore the PD15IMG, you'll hit the button (it'll tell you) to confirm that.

The Track pad only works if I am in CWM - if I am not mistaken. ( I have tried selecting with the power button and trackpad, nada)
I guess my next question would be, how to unroot using ADB without being able to select anything with the power button? Any way to flash the STOCK ROM and get S-ON again using ADB Commands? It will have to be sent back to TMOBILE. And since it is rooted, I have to UNROOT it. (The phone is ON MY ACCOUNT, but belongs to my friend. I don't want to get charged for the device because it's rooted and warranty voided)

once in your bootloader only the power button will select objects. the volume keys are the "picker" and the power button is the "selector"

Correct! The Trackpad works with Clockworkmod, but I can't even get there... How can I unroot/flash the PD15IMG.ZIP using ADB (if that's possible?!)
I will need to send it without them taking notice, as this is on my account.

OK. Sounds good. I am downloading the PD15IMG.zip as I type. This will take some time, according to the mins left (22m) - After it reboots, and reads the PD15IMG file, will this UNROOT the device back to stock? (I am guessing so... but just to be CLEAR!)

it SHOULD put everything back the way it came. IF you use the ./gfree method to root the phone it might not turn s-on. But everything else, the recovery image and the hBoot will be back to normal.

you can try sending adb or fastboot command to reboot device (to cm7) don't know it it's possible so google the different commands you can give
or you can send adb/fastboot command to go to recovery (cwm2/3)
try googeling adb and fastboot commands for android
hope this helps a bit..

maybe you can just take the battery out and wait for a minute...sometimes such easy things can do it...or maybe you should give it a bit more time to boot?
