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
Rooted my phone 6 months ago using the ultimate s off method in the dev section and had clockwork recovery 2.x installed. Never flashed any custom roms or did anything else to the phone. Woke up this morning and the phone was on the white my touch 4g splash screen and stayed that way for at least an hour after I noticed it. Pulled the battery and now when I start the phone, goes directly to a white screen with 3 androids on skateboards in the middle of the screen and stays there indefinitely. I can not boot into recovery and my computer does not recognize it when I connect via USB. Am I fully bricked? Any ideas? The phone is unresponsive when the android guys are on screen. Have to pull the battery to turn it off. Any advice is appreciated.
Have you tried using PD15IMG?
I have no way of launching it. I can put that file on the root of my SD card using a memory card reader but once its on my card, I still can not access the file since I can not boot into Recovery console and my computer does not see my phone when I connect via USB. All I can do with my phone is turn it on. Once it turns on, it goes to the white screen with the android guys.
hboot automatically sees the file when you boot into it. The screen with the three awesome android's trying not to bust their ass on the skateboards while trying to impress the girls that you can't see is hboot. Also, recovery is an option in hboot, just press volume down to scroll through the menu and highlight Recovery. Hit power to select it, and bam, you're in recovery, and three little skateboarding androids just got their first girlfriend.
(yes, there is a lot of sucky humor in there)
Sorry, I don't think I was clear and maybe I used the wrong terms. When I boot the phone, regardless of what I press (just the power button, or power button and volume down), nothing happens except the phone automatically goes to a white screen with the three boarding androids in the middle of the screen. Nothing else is on the screen, no menus to select options from, nothing. No matter what button combo I press, I can not get to hboot with options.
Thanks

Try loading the PD15IMG on the root of the SD Card. Pull the battery, put the battery back in hold the volume down rocker and the power button. That should boot you into hBoot.
Thank for your comments everyone. Even with PD15IMG on the root of my SD card, there is no way to get into hBoot. Volume down and power button does nothing, I've gotten into hBoot other times previous so I know how to do it. Not sure what would have caused this issue since it's been rooted since December and nothing else done to the phone. Looks like a call to tmo today.

PD15IMG will load everything back to 100% stock. if you used the ./gfree method, it will still maintain s-off but everything else will revert back.

now run the ruu...
u may have to try multiple times, with differet ways like powering phone off and back on while on RUU if ur not able to get on bootloader. though 3 droids screen is bootloader.
Are you at all familiar with ADB? You could always push the IMAGE file to the root of the phone and then use ADB to push the reboot bootloader command.
I can't use ADB because my computer doesn't even recognize the phone when connected via USB. I never had problems with my PC seeing my phone before this issue happened, now it's like it's not even connected.

You can manually install the drivers as it is on the SD card as well. Just install them again on the computer then use ADB.

He said that the PC did pick up the phone prior to the crash. post the crash the computer will not pick up it. It's nothing to do with the drivers on the phones sd card.

That's with the phone connected. All he has to do is take the card out and put it in the computer and mount as normal sd card. Then he can install the HTC drivers that are on the SD card. This is a simple fix.

Okay. Let me ask you this. I do not have the drivers on my SD card, nor on my work computer. But my work computer still picks it up. I do not have "windows" drivers on my home linux machine. Why does it pick up my phone?
and he had to have the driver previously installed for the computer to pick up the phone. the files that are stored on the SDCard are/were a .exe which installs to the HD of the computer.
Here are the hold your hand directions:
Disconnect phone from computer.
Turn off phone
Take microSD card out of phone
Put said microSD card into appropriate card reader/microSD card adapter
Put said adapter into card reader/USB port of computer
Wait until Windows/Linux system recognizes removable storage
Open folder into view
Dbl click on the file named HTC Drivers
Install like normal
Unmount the card
Put card back into phone
Turn phone on
Plug phone into computer
Run CMD
Then run ADB DEVICES
Proceed from there with your commands

Depending on whether he installed a different ROM, the computer will try and recognize the device as a new/different device each time and will/might need to install the drivers each time. That's why you never delete them off your sd card.
Hi, Guys
I was trying to root the phone by using the hack-ace.cmd and when I get into the final step - updating the ROM from SD card...I accidentally pull out the cable and then the screen stays on the welcome HTC logo forever.
I have tried the volume down button + power or home + power or even re-root the phone. It came back HTC logo again. But the screen will change to something else when I trying to re-root the phone. The process acually successful, but it still report errors in the very end saying "USB connection fail" or "Golden Card fail".
Here are the steps I followed,
Steps for this process:
1. Download the Advanced Ace Hack Kit
2. Extract the files
3. Install Desire HD drivers in /tools/windrivers/
4. Connect the device via USB and turn on USB Debugging in Settings-Applications-Development
5. Run the hack-ace.cmd as Administrator and start the process by typing "1" and "Enter"
6. The process will run and will take about 5-6 minutes to complete
7. Download your ROM of choice, do not extract it, and copy the .zip to the device SD card
8. Rename the file to "update.zip"
9. Power off your device
10. To boot in the bootloader, perform a battery pull, reinstate the battery, and hold the volume down and power buttons
11. Using the volume buttons to navigate, and power button to make selections, boot into Recovery, clear the cache, and select 'install update from sdcard'.
12. When the flashing process has completed, reboot your device and wait about 3-4 minutes for it to boot fully
13. You device is now rooted and has a custom ROM installed
I strongly believe, I forgot to power off the device and go straight to the bootloader and pressed the install update.zip from SD card.
Then I also believe that I used a corrupted ROM from a crap website, which is about 75Mb...Not normal, right?
The screen turn into HTC logo and I waited for 2mins and seen no changes, hence I pulled the cable out....
The final result is that I always get the HTC logo even if I tried to install new ROM file downloaded from a valid site.
Now the problem solved. Love your guys

Dude here is the rooted stock ATT ROM it includes the radio. Just download place in root of gold card then go to bootloader with power - volume button. it will recognize the PD98IMG file, will ask to load volume up for yes then let it do its thing. Please search and read before you attempt anything with phone. AS ADVICED ON XDA FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Q6YYQFIM
This is the rooted ATT updated ROM with radio do not rename file just place in root of SD (Not in any folder) Good Luck.
Hello, please look at my original post. I have edited and provide more history. Cheers
Hi mate, I am still little bit confused. You said "place in root of gold card" then "do not rename file just place in root of SD"........I am not professional, but I heard the Goldencard before.. Should I just download the PD98IMG.zip then send it to SD card then go to the bootloader see how it goes?

Yes, u need to flash PD98IMG.ZIP to have your device working back. If your phone is branded , it will require gold card which u should create it one for your device to recognize it or u may download the above mentioned zip file to ur pc then copy to ur sd card first, and get the phone into bootloader mode to see If it could recognize in case ur phone is not branded, If it is so, then u can save time for not creating goldcard and progress to flash the rom from as card.
Remember no need to rename the file. Ur responding in this thread is on & off, users here could not help u when u urge to get ur phone working back.

It carried on and rooted without issue.

Go to desktop, right click on my computer select manage, select device manager from left locate device driver from the list in middle panel, locate the htc usb it may have a yellow triangle next to it, right click and select update software Try this first before downloading another driver, if this doesn't work then you well have to locate new driver

How are you wiping with out recovery...from fastboot? Have you tried this method? You should still be able to do it even though you are S-on. Just rename the file HERCIMG on your sd card. The directions are at the top of the post. Make sure you don'e have it named HERCIMG.zip.zip (It's already a zip file so you don't need to add that). Once you put on your sd card, turn phone on by holding the volume down and turning on with power button, Trackball is enter. Action is the green phone button.

If you have made a nandroid backup of the stock froyo rom just restore it in CWM recovery if not and if you want to install an official froyo rom in pink screen make sure you have put the dload folder on the root of SD card or the internal SD card with the update.app file and don't forget to backup your IMEI with 5IromToolBox.
