I have a rooted Rogers magic and dont know what happend...but its stuck in a boot loop. All it gets to is the "HTC MAGIC" screen and then the out of box image shows up and then it restarts and does this again and again.
I cant enter recovery or fastboot. ive tried the diff key combinations to boot but nothin works.
ANy help!!???
If you can't get into a recovery, or fastboot from my understandings you now have a very expensive paper weight.
Mine did the same, randomly or because i pressed some combination the phone booted again. Sometimes pressing backspace i enter the menu, pressing home+power... nothing.
One or two times pressing home+power enters the menu and then reboots by itself.
Any ideas?
It's happened to me once.
Does anything come up with your computer?
Can you access adb?
Try removing the battery then hold down the menu button.
While still holding menu put the battery back in.
The phone should start up. Keep holding the menu button until you are blue in the face (or for about 30 seconds or so) or until the phone boots.
If that doesn't work try the back button instead of the menu button like above.
If THAT doesn't work... then find a stack of papers and place them in front of a fan. Place your phone onto the stack of papers and let it sit...
Or try calling your provider because you might still be under warranty.
ok guys it on now.
Its working but for some reason it wont read my sd card :S
turns out my bro flashed a recovery he shouldnt hav so it kept rebootin evenwhen i tried entering recovery. i erased it thinkin that ill flash a new recovery...but it wont recognize my sd card. ive tried 3 diff cards...but nothin works.
even in the rom, i get the notification: "SD Card has been removed. Insert a new SD card to increase your device storage."
i cant get the card to work HELP??
........how do i even flash anything without the card?
You can flash through fastboot

Flash through fastboot like he said and it should read your SD card with a new ROM.
any links to a tutorial on how to flash through fastboot??
thanks in advance!!!

Nope. There are no links or tutorials at all anywhere on the web. They do not exist. Except for maybe this one:

... and about 5,539 more. But yeah... other than those... the answer is no.

It you have bootloop - remove battery you turn phone off. Wait a few minutes and place battery back.
Then try flash turn phone on by pressing and holding Back + Power (fastboot-mode)
Write first five rows here (all symbols are important).
It you will have problems, try to load phone into other modes:
Home + Power - recovery-mode
VolumeDown + Power - hboot-mode

Too bad
It seems like phone flashed by faulty hboot or radio (uncompleted download or something else)
Try disconnect phone from pc or adapter and remove battery for 10-15 minutes
May be it cancels this process.
To restore phone you need to run hboot-mode or fastboot-mode - if you don't then only JTAG can help

You are not doing it correct. If you are pressing the volume down button while the phone is powering up, you should go straight into bootloader and you should NOT see the HTC screen.
Furthermore, put a new ROM into your SD card before you do this, so you can flash another ROM.

Hey guys,
So I've decided to flash my mates hd 2 with win 7.
i downloaded the rom from the forum which has the loader (i think).
i watched the video demo on youtube and followed the instructions there.
when I boot up the phone after rom updater, I can't get into the bootloader! all I can see is htc logo and nothing happens.
What do i do? Have I bricked the phone?
Please help!

With the phone turned off, hold the volume down button on the side of the phone and press the power button. Keep holding the volume down button until you see the tri-colored screen (this is bootloader).
at this point i would suggest you flash task29, enter tri-colored screen again (bootloader), then flash magldr v.1.12, then let the phone boot into magldr, choose option 5 and flash wp7.
Hi,
I cannot get into the tri-colored screen now! thats my problem. I updated HSPL to *.HSPL, and tried updating the rom and this happens!
I have tried the reset method by holding Vol + and - keys with Power button, but that doent help too
how do i used task29 when i cant get past the HTC logo on the phone?

try soft reset. remove the back cover then press a blunt pointed object such as a pen or stylus into the reset button to the bottom left of the SIM, near sd slot, and release. The phone will then reboot. try to get into bootloader as soon as it restarts
hi, i tried installing the rom again, and i get some cpp error?
dont know why.
i tried reverting back to stock rom, installed it successfully, and now when I unplugged the mobile, it turns off. when i plug it in it turns back on and it loops at HTC logo i mean, I turns itself off and turns itself on.
why do you think this happens?
Hi,
The problem is When I plug in my phone to USB, it boots up shows a HTC logo, with
R 2.06.51.07
G 15.30.50.07 U
D 1.66.76641
written in red on left corner and holds on for a few seconds and turns off, and turns on itself.
end note: the phone only starts when I plug it to USB, else its a brick
I previously thought I had rooted and tried out a some custom ROMs. Decided to revert to a nandroid backup of stock I made before flashing but got errors and the phone hangs on 1st mytouch logo. S is off according to hboot screen, and I am able to get into fastboot and recovery (with CWM 2.5.1.2). I've tried using my nandroid backup and its gives an error: "E:format_root_device: can't find mmc partition "boot"". I've successfully rolled back from a custom ROM to stock before, So I'm not sure what happened. I have also tried having hboot flash PDIMG15 but when it begins it skips a bunch of folders, it gives me an error about E: , it says "FAILED (remote: not allowed)". Does that mean s is on somehow or root is screwed up? At this point I'm afriad I will have to go back to t-mob and buy a new phone . Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Did you go from cm6 to cm7?
Try flashing a cm6 rom, you cant use clockwork 2.5.12 for cm7 roms and you cant use cw3+ for cm6 roms.
Flash cm6 from recovery then update clockrom in rom manager. The boot in recovery and flash cm7

PDIMG15 should be foolproof.
Have you checked the file or your sd card for errors?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I agree that PDIMG should be foolproof. It may be your SD card. Try re-flashing recovery through fastboot, then reformatting your SD card. Then copy the PDIMG again with nothing else on the card and give that a shot. You could also try flashing CWM 3 and see if you can flash a 2.3 ROM.
phone replaced
I tried the sd card format method with a quick format and a normal and still no success. Maybe a bad sdcard. Either way walked into t-mob and naively said my phone doesn't work, got it replaced. (Only had it for 9 days) Since it was still within 14 they swapped it no questions asked really. Thanks for the help either way. I may just have to stick with stock sense for a while and just be content with launcher pro. I've been reading that the front facing camera doesn't work on a lot of custom roms anyway and my wife and I both got MT4gs so I like the video call feature enough to stick with it.
I too had the same problem, what I did was to use the Nandroid backup located here in the MT4G forums. I have that on my sd card and when all failsI revert back thru that nandroid backup. Try that and let me know how it goes.
**edit**
sorry did not read that you had returned it.
HELP!

There are methods for turning S off if you click on the link to the resource bible in my sig↓↓
Do you know if the phone is rooted, if there is a recovery flashed and what ROM it has?

If her phone is not rooted and you arent trying to flash custom ROMs then it doesnt sound like s=off is going to help you.
Ive seen this happen as a hardware problem (probably from dropping the phone to much) and also software, somehow the boot file gets corrupt
If you cant get her phone to get passed the first tmobile boot screen i would suggest you try to reset the phone.
1. Turn the MyTouch 4G off. pull the battery and replace it.
2. Press and hold the Volume Down button.
3. Press and hold the Power button for 5 seconds (while holding the volume down button) then release the power. Continue to hold Volume Down.
4. When you see the Android logo appear, you may then release Volume Down.
5. Now use the Volume Up/Down buttons to highlight Factory reset.
6. Press the Power button to select.
She will lose all data stored on the phone (not the sd card, just the phone) however if the phone isnt turning on that data isnt much good anyways...

What do you mean by "wont go anywhere"? When you hold down volume and power you should get a screen with three androids on skateboards on the bottom of the screen. Near the middle of the screen there should be some options
Fastboot
Recovery
Factory Reset
Simlock
System Info
Image CRC
You should be able to use your volume buttons on the side of the phone to scroll up and down through that list. when you have the option you want highlighted (in this case factory reset) you can selected it by pressing the power button.
are you able to do that, or are you stuck somewhere else?
Please help out as well i have same problem but even after trying to factory reset it still goes into hboot screen. Problem is on a spare phone just need help asap. If you can help i can attach gmail or gtalk or something. Please help tho

It sounds like your problem may be different. When you turn your phone on is it automatically going to the hboot screen? Do you have a mt4g? your sig says you have a mt3g slide

what is the problem you are seeing? When you turn your phone on does it go right to hboot? does it boot up? does it freeze up at the first splash screen? does it freeze at boot animation? does it get to the boot animation then reboot?
When the power button is hit it goes right into hboot no options to let me go to home screen. I can access fastboot and hboot but i cannot get past these two at all i know the phone is not rooted. the volume keys are acting up a little bit and not letting me get anywhere. If you can help please PM me it would be greatly appreciated
Your volume keys are stuck (physically or electrically), specifically VolumeDown key, and that's the reason for the misbehavior. In any case, it's almost certainly a HW problem.
Thats what i've been thinking as well and tried seeing whats going on and it doesnt seem that there stuck have to pull some stuff apart in any case do you know how to fix this though and get it to boot?
If you don't have warranty - open the phone and fix/disconnect the volume buttons.
If you have warranty - send it for repairs.
It won't boot when VolDown is pressed, whatever you do.
Hello to all of you!
My Tattoo has gone crazy lately...he deleted all my contacts, pictures and reset the settings...all when I switched it off and then turned it on. Ok I survived...
But yesterday when I turned my Tattoo on...he was stuck on the Tattoo screen and it was restarting itself on and on again...with no luck...then I pressed the buttons for hard reset, then the picture of the yellow exclamation mark appeared, and now I'm stuck with this Android System Recovery-which it's not working, I can't select anything, none of the buttons works...What Can I DO???? I have never made no changes to my tattoo, so it's not rooted or anything.
the system recovery says:
Android System Recovery
Use trackball to highlight;
click to select.
reboot system now [Home+back]
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition

Please someone?? I really don't know what to do!! I need my phone! PLEASE
Try downloading stock ROM from here http://htcpedia.com/official_rom_htc_wwe_for_htc_click_tatoo/soft/htc-tattoo-rom/download.html
Then try installing this ROM from Windows...I thing that you need to have htc sync also...
Thank you for helping me, I really appreciate it.
But that's the problem, my pc won't recognize the phone, I have installed the htc sync but when I insert the phone from usb nothing happens. and i can't go into the phone to check if usb debug is on or off. I also tried with adb but it says device not found....so I think there's nothing I can do...

Can you see some of these options? Did you try to download some of custom ROM and rename it to update.zip and then put it in root of sdcard and apply it? Im little confused with this....
Yes I see all of these options, but the problem is I can't select them or anything because none of te buttons work! I tried to put the ROM on the root of the sd card, but it make no sense because I cant select the option apply update.
Try Power+Home button (that is for recovery menu, but if your tattoo isnt rooted you should see only triangle with exclamation sign inside), then plug usb cable and then try installing stock ROM from post above...
With power+home button I see the recovery menu...it's just that nothing work in the recovery menu. I tried plugging the usb...the PC won't recognize it.
I told you I tried everything... I guess it's a hopless case
What about this?
To reset the phone using phone buttons
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the HOME and BACK buttons, and then briefly press the END CALL/POWER button.
2. Press the ENTER button to begin the reset process.
Tip If your phone hangs or freezes, remove the battery then wait for a few seconds, and then re-install it. After re-installing the battery, turn on the phone.
This one is the same but has a pic of tattoo...
http://www.howtoreset.com/HTC_Units/HTC_Tattoo_Hard_Reset_Soft_Reset.html
ha...this was my first try...unsuccsessful...it's like he can't do nothing else-just showing the triangle with exclamation mark and if I press home and power goes into recovery which doesn't work....that's all he can do..
F*uck i'm all out of ideas...
Yeah...don't tell me...

Here is what you can do:
After you started RUU wait until you get the prompt to proceed or until you get the usb error and don't close the application
Go to temp folder to get the rom.zip file
to go to temp folder type %TEMP% in the run command bar
copy the rom.zip to your favourite place and rename it to CLICIMG.zip
Now you can close the RUU install
place CLICIMG.zip in root of memory CARD and turnoff your phone
Boot in to HBOOT mode (power button + volume down keys)
wait for few seconds and install would start
I hope you have a memory card reader to place the file in to it
key for this to work is, you need to have right Tattoo RUU to get ROM.zip or have a goldcard to work any Tattoo RUU derived ROM.zip
True, i forgot about that
Thank you fo helping me. I tried but it doesn't work. The volume keys won't work...
can you check if you could boot to fastboot mode (hold both power button and back button)
From there you can
either reset your phone (menu button)
reboot to HBOOT (action button - centre button)
change to HBOOT (volume down button) - l know it doesn't work for you
or turn off the phone (left button)
If none of the buttons work, then you might need to send your phone to the doctor
Nope...it doesn't work....not to the doctor i will send the phone to the trash...
