From described above, I think what you did would not damage the SPL, which loads the fastboot...
Maybe there's a hardware problem
Anyway, try fastboot again! (long press back and then power)
and there seems to be a way to save your phone through ddms (please google it. it is mentioned in one of the threads(

volume Down + power , Home + Power , Back + power.
i press this keys to power up.
it just have a vibrate and the HTC Magic screen then stop........
i wait about 30 min nothing happen.
i need to pull the battery out to stop it.
can't use DDMS cos My windowXP can't see USB device when i connect magic to window.
i don't know how to do.
thankyou for your reply.

if SPL not being flashed (no damage), then u should able to enter "fastboot"

i don't know what i done.
just can't hboot and fastboot now.

You have to hold both buttons (POWER + BACK for fastboot) until the flash screen shows up.

may be i need pick Magic back to repair center.
but i still want to repair by my hand.
thank's for any reply.!!!

This is a long shot, but I had something similar happen to me when I upgraded my SPL. Try renaming the latest spl as update.zip and putting it on your SD card.

What should one do if flashing a new SPL doesn't work?

Exactly the same problem.
I have returned the phone to 3. they gave me a new one.
my problem occurred after I flash a SPL into the phone.
so, must be the SPL making the problem.
Maybe you have to send it to repair.

****ed
When i brought my phone the 17 of jun i had the phone 5 days not rooted and it done the thing yours is saying i took it back to the shop and they gave me a new 1
i think some phones have a fault but try taking it back
btw i want to flash my new 1 but i dont want to **** it up can anybody point me the right way or come on msn and talk me throw it hope some1 can if so send me a pm thanks flyover

My Magic's bootloader is
PVT 32 A, CPLD-12, Boot with Hami
Hboot 1.33.0009
After I flash the hboot with this post then reboot，Same thing happend。
But I Figured Out Somehow，You can still enter the fastboot mode，but not with the original view。
The fastboot Mode shows A Red line words "fastboot usb" at the upper-left corner，and the logo still Hami。
What I did is Volume Down+Power，Then Try to press Other Bottom ( I Don't know Which Bottom Exactly.)。
Sorry For My Poor English。

Mine is also bricked. Same story, I flashed the spl and it just rebooted to the htc screen and will not recover from it. I get no sort of red flashboot menu. It's completely unresponsive on all levels. Such a shame, I'm worried about this being a design fault with the magic. Perhaps there's a line of models with this problem. I can still choose a different phone altogether if I bring it back.
I REALLY like the look and feel of this phone... but I don't want to brick a second one.

I got a second one from "3". I would recommend u not to touch the spl again.

Sad as it may be to brick a phone, I don't see failure as a reason for giving up. I haven't successfully modded my phone yet, and that bothers me. I'll do it, and I'll succeed. If not, I'll go back there and replace it again
I WILL do it right.
Anyway, enough of the power speech.

Maybe a solution
Hi
I had my phone end up in a state in which it would immedialtely show a black screen with HTC logo and do nothing else - even when just inserting the battery. The whole thing seemed pretty stuck
But then I found out that holding "back" and "power" down before and while inserting the battery did the trick - then the phone booted into the fastboot mode and I could start revovering it using some appropriate recovery image and an update.zip that I had placed on the SD card in advance.
This has helped me a couple of times since then
Seems to me that as long as you have not messed up the SPL, there are ways of recovering.
Hope this might help.

well, I don't have a chance to test your method.
can anyone, whose phone is bricked, try !!holding "back" and "power" down before and while inserting the battery!!

Messed something up: probably radio config I think :s

What's wrong:
I cannot go in bootloader mode with the hardware keys.
When I press vol up + trackpad + power i get 3 short vibrates and charging led flashes, screen stays off.
I can access bootloader if I use reboot bootloader from a adb shell.
This is what happened:
I have bootloader 0.84.2000 PC10110000 (eng hboot) and rage method root on desire-z with stock rom (1.34.405.5).
I also flashed godspeed OC kernel
I wanted to protect myself from losing root and s-off if I would do the ota update.
I have read that gfree would accomplish this.
So I decided to do this, but I made the mistake of doing this within recovery.
I ran gfree, but my sdcard wasn't mounted, So after a reboot I didn't find the backup of my radio partition, this way I lost my original radio config partion.
When I rebooted, I wanted to check my S-off was still persent or not. and I couldn't get into the bootloader.
I got 3 short vibrates and a flashing red/orange charging led.
I can access recovery and bootloader from adb shell with reboot recovery/bootloader.
I know what I did wrong, but don't know how to fix it.

Here's a post explaining whats going on:
Here's someone else with your same problem:

I got a question.
I did this last week, and it seemed that it was done successfuly. The problem is that I tried to boot into recovery by pressing Volume + and power and I got three vibrations and the LED light just flashed red. I had to battery pull to be able to get the phone going again.
So that means I can only access recovery through ROM Manager, which makes me uneasy because it means that if I get a boot-loop I could potentially be screwed...

Here's the explanation:
steviewevie said:
That's not how you boot into recovery. The good news is that you have proved you have radio S-OFF, because unless you have that then you don't get that flashing amber light state. You put the phone into a different recovery mode where I believe a PC can talk to the OSBL, but currently we don't have any documented procedures on how to use that mode.
You can get into recovery by holding Volume *Down* and Power, then you'll get into HBOOT. Then you can choose the "Recovery" option and it will boot you into Clockwork Recovery (assuming you've got that flashed).

So actually all of us who have used gfree have this same function, wouldn't actually call it a problem, just another unexplored utility.

Hey
Thx for your response, I tried the vol down and power and it worked.
I'm glad to see my phone is still ok.
This thread can be closed if needed.

Need help.

Hi there,
Yesterday i just wanted to reboot my DHD, but Revolution HD 3.6 did not came back.
The screen went automaticly to HBOOT mode.
So after removed the battery for some time and put it back. Pressed power button and Hboot mode came again. Also found that can not navigate through the menu via VOL+/-.
Tried many times with no success. So tried to find some informations on this forum but did not find similar thread to mine problem.

I don't know exactly, but maybe you have issue with VOL - button? mb it is 'stuck'??
I can't see other reason for phone to boot in HBOOT mode... if ROM is broken then it should load normally but then restart/throw error, dunno exactly it's behaviour if ROM is broken.

Power phone off by any method.
Hold vol- and press power.
Does this take you to recovery?
Also, please edit you thread subject to make it more specific. Obviously you're looking for help. "Need help" is hardly going to be useful to others.

Does not. Phone always goes to HBoot. Before I rebooted the phone everything worked perfect.
It happened when I woke up then I took the phone and turned on buzzer by pushing VOL+ button. After that Power button and "reboot". So rule out the possibility a problem with buttons

So if you select Recovery from the HBoot menu it restarts straight back in to HBoot again instead of going to recovery?
If that is the case I'm afraid you might have to select the Factory Reset option.
If that allows the phone to boot ok you should then be able to go back to recovery and restore a the last NAND backup.

The problem is that it is not possible to choice any option from HBoot menu.
Looks like VOL+/- are disabled. One post ago i wrote that HBoot is highlighted and Fastboot is highlighted. So if I click on power it should switch to Fasboot mode but it doesn't. Phone is stuck in Hboot mode.

Do you know if you used jkoljo's Radio S-OFF tool? If so you can flash the 1.32 PD98IMG.zip and start from scratch.

Should I follow with this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054304

No, that is for flashing radios. Find the downgrade thread and download the PD98IMG.zip from there. Is your handset branded?

is not branded and simlock free.

You shouldn't need a goldcard then, just place the downgrade PD98IMG.zip on your SDcard and boot into bootloader.

Got PD98IMG.zip on SD card.
Restart the phone. Phone start loading the file than stuck again on parsing.
nothing happend with PD98IMG.zip.
Any Ideas?

How long has it been stuck?

on this screen for 1 hour and bricked since Thursday

Ok, So the PD98IMG.zip failed. Have you tried the 1.32.405.x RUU~.exe?

Did. no sucess. Error 170
no communication but on command: fastboot devices I have a respond :
HT0A5RXO0924
command: adb devices says nothing

Ok lads,
I see all known methods and tools doesn't work but does anyone have an idea how to kill the informations on screen that the phone been rooted? or kill it totally?
In this cause I'll be able to the risk and send this phone to repair.

Ok, you can attempt to flash each component seperately within fastboot.
Unzip the PD98IMG.zip and move boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, radio.img to your SDK/tools folder.
Now use fastboot to flash these
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img

ok. trying

no success, see attachment

[Q] HD2 not starting (Android Clk)

I know there are a lot of threads about a non-booting HD2 but I can't find any solution for my phone. That's why I am asking things again.
My phone was perfectly working when I went on my holiday two weeks ago. I have used it on a wifi hotspot and after that I left it in the safe. When i took it out after a few days (it has been on flightmode all the time) the phone was rebooting itself..
Too bad it didn't boot up my CLK android again. After trying this is what i can do with it:
-Take out the battery, replacing it. Hitting the power button there is a verry short vibration, after that a longer vibration, the HD2 bootscreen and then it starts CLK but stops with this last line [240] --suspend--
-With the phone on the charger that line is: [240] udc_start()
-With the phone on an USB connection i am able to enter fastboot and connect my phone, even installing is possible.
But my phone won't go in recovery (holding the home button while powering on) an won't go in bootloader (vol down)
Seems to me there is a problem with my hardware keys. Not shure, but should they light up when I am powering on my device?
Hopefully someone could help!

Have u try reflash the cLK and the rom?

I can't flash clk or rom, can't enter bootloader..

if you can get fastboot have you tried flashing the recovery again ?

Yup, but still unable to enter Recovery

Wait, you say you cant enter tri color bootloader, dont you? this cant be anything good, sounds like a brick. If you can, I advise task 29 and then reflash

I can't enter tri-color screen, because it seems like my hardware buttons are not functioning (vol-down especially). So task 29 won't work because it is impossible to connect..
Please can anyone tell if my hardware keys should light up when starting my HD2.

OK.. Little update.
I've found out that if I leave my HD2 on power for a couple of hours (no battery in), and after replacing the battery I am able to start into tri-color bootloader. So I did a task29 anf flashed the CLK partition layout and in fastboot i've installed recovery. To bad, I am now unable to enter recovery! Will try again in a few hours, hopefully same problem as with the bootloader. But still seems there is a problem overall. So maybe i have to get a new phone in the short future (Sensation that is)

oh guys, same problem here, i'm unable to enter bootloader and recovery, only fastboot works.. any idea about that?

[Q] Motorola APX ATRIX 4g does not go

Motorola ATRIX 4g phone, and ATT is discharged and the battery during the update.
Now it is switched on, type "Failed to boot Nvflash 0x1000 Entering recovery mode."
APX Nvflash tried to start but windows 7 does not recognize the device manager did not even know.
What should I do? This field may improve through usb?
thank you

depending on where your phone ran out battery it may be a brick, or you may be able to recover it...
Take the battery out and put it back, then hold Volume down and boot the phone. IF you see "fastboot" (Press the up key) and hope you boot into fastboot mode
You can also press down to see if you can get to RSD....
If you can get to these 2 then you can recover your phone...If it gets stuck on starting nvflash and doesn't give you a menu then your phone is bricked.

No, that won´t work as he is stuck with an empty battery and if the phone won´t boot the battery won´t charge. Catch 22
Either charge the battery in your backup Atrix
or search for the "McGyver method", which means sacrificing a USB cable. Oh well...

What's wrong...........

Battery charged 80% of the vol up + power does not respond to the power + vol down to either the Irish problem APX installed but nvflash RCM 0x4 version.
Could not be fixed some way because it would be urgent!
Non-root your phone and locked the bootloader, RSD does not come in!

noob troubleshooting
OK we all have to try read and fail. Atrix 4g with 2.3.6 Unlocked and rom manager, titanium backup attrix 2 boot strap. What I did. did search and found this great reading rom. Followed all the info. Reboot great. Works. OK all but it will not access data other than in wifi. email, browers both say no connection. I have gone back and tried to clear all data and load other ROM. Can't get any of the ROMS. to load. either through update.zip or named.zip. Here's the stupid part. It was a victory ROM v2.0 it was for a samsung captivate. the link brought me across and I didn't look at the top to see if it was a dang attrix. Any idea on which how to get at least the data to work other then the wifi? I can access the recovery mode and it will reload the VictoryROM but nothing else. As F Gump says Stupid is ..as stupid does.
appreciated

I don't understand half of the things you wrote...
If you hold vol down and press power...Does your phone boot and go into fastboot mode? Yes/No (It will say "fastboot" and pressing Vol Down will cycle other options....Then you have to press Vol Up to enter into Fastboot mode)
If it's "NO" then when it does boot do you have any other options besides NvFlash? If yes then you can recover, if no then your phone is bricked.

Victory, and A2 Bootstrap? wont work on a 4G. Either you are in the wrong forum or you have managed to put A2 tools on a 4G, which shouldn't work, and apparently doesnt.
If you can get to CWM, put a copy of CM7 on the sd card, CWM flash it. clear caches. etc.
Hope it helps
