Right I tried to flash the ruu to update 3.0 sense now it wont boot into droid and just displays a phone with a red triangle and exclamation mark. Is this fixable without sending it to htc?

Could you give a few more details? Which RUU did you flash, how did you flash it, what were you on before, were you S-OFF, etc? What happened right after flashing the RUU?
The red triangle and exclamation mark is what you'll see if you try to boot in to recovery when there is no custom recovery on the phone, e.g. if you have flashed a stock RUU. Have you pulled the battery and tried booting again? Can you boot in to bootloader by turning the phone on while holding vol down button?

Hi,
I'm htc magic owner. I have unrooted magic didn't flashed enything, i wanted to do a backup so I entered to recovery mode by pressing a home button and than turn on but all I can see it's just a triangle with sth inside - no options etc. What i'm doing wrong??
Hidden Android Recovery Image.
Once you are brought to that screen with the exclamation point inside the triangle...
Press MENU + BACK (or HOME) and usually; give it a second, the hidden Android recovery image should appear.
I've done it several times having played with so many STOCK T-Mobile Android devices. Good luck.
It didn't worked to me... I've done this combination and nothing happened .Still triangle with exclamation
Does it show a triangle with a ! inside it? If so, what device are you using, MT3G, Ion, Vodaphone or Rogers Magic?
HTC Magic form Polish Orange network. It's 288 Mb version it shows exactly what U saying triangle with an ! inside and anything more

Sorry in advance if it will be a nooby question but actually I am a noob in android.. So do I have to have my phone rooted to access this menu ???
You need to boot your phone into a modified recovery.
There is a tutorial for that in Polish. Have a look here: http://wiki.android.com.pl/ROOT_dla_HTC_Magic
I was trying to put on Modaco 2.2 on my HTC Magic Rooted. But it said I needed to update my Radio. Well I went and tried to do that and now i'm stuck on the loading screen right after with the phone next to the box with the yellow arrow, which i'm led to believe is the original recover. No button combination will get away from it. Taking out the battery did nothing. I have all the recoveries on my SD but I cannot get into Amon Ra's recovery or Fastboot. Any ideas on how to get out of this?
me too in the same boat... any help please
I tried rooting my phone and it made it through almost all the steps and then failed..Well it rebooted and had a big red exclamation mark and triangle on the screen. Well i download the stock ruu and tried flashing it and it almost finishes then says error 101..Now it wont even go into boot loader and had an htc logo and 4 triangle/exclamation marks on all four corners of the screen...Please tell me ill be able to fix my phone... Definitely wont be rooting again...thanks in advance for your help!
maybe try taking out battery and reboot
Push vol up + power and a menu should appear. You can reboot from there.
The screen with the four triangles is where you need to flash it from. Just make sure you are using the right version ruu

Which method did you try?
About a month ago I installed a clockwork based recovery app from the market. I tried restoring and this failed leaving the phone unbootable.
Since then I have tried flashing MANY other sbf`s using rsd lite but this has made the situation worse. I think that I even flashed one for the defy+
Now all I get is either a blank screen or a M logo when I switch on.
Pressing power & volume down doesn`t work so I can`t access the stock recovery menu
I can access the bootloader using power & volume up so i can flash more sbf`s but I`ve tried most of them but none will boot.
BTW the phone was running cm7.1 before I had all this trouble and the battery has been fully charged (in another defy)
Is there any way I can clear off all the stuff I`ve been installing and start from fresh? or can anyone tell me how to get the phone to boot?
I have searched for a solution in the forums but most of the replies involve clearing the cache which I cant do as I cant get to the recovery menu.
Any helpful comments will be gratefully received
many thanks

Your flashs complete with Finish/Pass, or just "please manually power up this phone"?
If it's the later, read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38187413&postcount=2
Just stick to the most highest Defy+ sbf build, or just use DFP-231 build to be sure.

Thanks for the reply
I flashed the DFP-231 sbf file as you suggested but it wouldn`t boot any further than the M logo.
I did get the "please manually power up this phone" message and followed the procedure from the link you gave
I can`t wipe the as I cannot get to the recovery menu.
Is there any other way to wipe the cache?
JeffH
Nah, no other way than stock recovery for stock rom.
Just make sure your flash finished with Finish/pass, that'll make your stock recovery working again.
Wish you a best luck.
i flashed with this:
DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_GR_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTCEE_P022_A022_Service1FF.sbf
but still no boot
Is this the correct rom?
cheers
JeffH
I wonder if the following might give someone a clue about whats wrong with my defy
If I flash gingerbread rom either defy or defy+ then rsd completes with PASS, and phone will boot as far as the M logo and I can access the menu with power+volume UP
If I flash below gingerbread then rsd doesnt complete but gives `manually reboot` message. If I then power off and plug in again then rsd completes with PASS but when I reboot there is NO M logo and no menu on power and volume up.
I`m keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to revive my phone.
JeffH
With DFP-231 rom, how about power+volume down to boot into stock recovery? I think you're just one step away from reviving defy.

No, Power + volume down doesn`t work, (ie nothing happens). Only power + volume up works.

Thanks, but it didn`t work. Still stuck at M logo. Obviously I couldn`t clear the cache before and between flashing
JeffH
Thank you all for your helpful advice.
I have now sent the phone away for repair.
I spoke to the technician on the phone and she reckons it needs dismantling and a jtag repair (whatever that is).
But beware an app on the market, I think it is called orange backup, as it was after installing this and trying to restore the backup that I screwed up my phone!
