Restore original firmware in safe-mode - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Hi all,
My Magic has the trackball broken, and because of this, when I try to boot the Magic, the notification Led turns blue and the phone does not boot.
Somethimes, if I stir the trackball the phone boots, but in the left bottom corner appears a message saying "safe-mode".
As my Magic has a custom rom, and I think because of the safe-mode I can not see the phone via usb cable. Plugging in the usb cable only charges the phone, nothing else happens.
Until now, I also was not able to enter into bootloader (I do not know if is a safe-mode limitation or not.)
Do you know about that safe-mode? or how can I restore the original firmware?
because I want to send my phone to warranty with the original rom.
Thank you!

some photos ?
can you make some pictures of your screen or a small video to see what is happening? Or try to use the right RUU from development page.

Low Level Format and flashing ROM possible? - I messed up my Eten G500+

Hi,
is there a possibility to get my device back to work? I messed my G500+ up, with a wrong ROM Image, so is there a way to low level format it and replay a working Image on it?
The current status is:
The device can be turned on, but only the LED in the upper right corner is flashing
The blue outline will be present after holding the power key for several seconds (aproximately about 10-15 seconds or so)
The display stays black
I can't see if I would enter the USB downloader boot mode
I can't see if I do a hardreset
The display was fully white after flshing with this damage rom, then during boot it stayed white and the device stocked
Can anybody help me? Is my display damaged, can such thing happen while flashing or does the ROm don't kno w how to reach the display? What can I don, it's a bit urgent because I need that device!
As posted on your other thread, this is an HTC based device forum. You're better off looking for help on a site that will support your device. Good luck.
yeah, you're right, but there are several threads about Eten devices, so I thought, someone could help, sorry....

[Help] How to prevent the phone from auto booting?

Hi all,
I dunno if any of my steps goes wrong, but my phone keeps auto booting even i dont push the RED button, even i remove the battery and put it back again, it keeps auto booting so i cant choose fastboot mode or recovery mode.
All i did is:
- fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.1H.img
- choose Apply sdcard:choose zip and select update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2004-signed.zip
Is it bricked? Could anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
1st off wrong section man you gotta take this to general...
2nd try press and hold home and power see if you go into recovery...if you do then your not bricked.
sorry i'll move this to general
so did you get it to work?
no i cant boot to recovery or fastboot, it just keep showing the htc splash screen, i'll take it to the htc care guys to see if they could help me. thanks btw
is your phone plugged into your PC when this happens? Dumb I know but when my phone is plugged into my pc it autoboots
Yes i realized it afterwards, i just unplug the usb cable and it stops auto-booting, but i cant reach the recovery and fastboot afterwards. Anyway, i've already take it to the customer service and seems that they have way to flush back all the software part and i could have my magic 3 days later
Actually i just wonder which step is wrong for me, should i root the spl before flashing a new one? or i should just skip it? i wanted to know this more

[Q] Help ... ROM updated failed...noting is displaying

Hello All,
Today, I got t-mobile locked leo (UK). It was continuously stucking and restarting. I thought, I can upgrade it to fix any firmware problems. However, it got stuck at 10% twice and filed.
Now, nothing showing up except big vibration sound.
Can some one guide me to fix this problem....
Yes put the HD2 into bootloader and flash the ROM. To put it into bootloader hold the volume down button down while powering on the HD2. Then connect the USB cable to the HD2 and computer and wait until you see the Serial change to USB in the white bar of bootloader and then run the RUU.
If you still can not get it to flash via USB then try flashing it via SD card.
Thank you for quick reply. However, even I am unable to go into bootloader.
As soon as I place battery, it just continesoly gives just vibration sound nothing happens. Even I tried Vol+up and vol + down and poweron, but doesn't help as nothing coming up on the screen.
I was updating official ROM : RUU_Leo_S_TMO_UK_3.14.110.1_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe

Sorry if you can not get the HD2 to the bootloader then I hate to tell you but you have a bricked HD2. The only way to fix it is to use or get someone to use a JTAG and a RiffBox on your HD2 which requires the total removal of the main board from the HD2 and then putting it back in after you have fixed it using the JTAG and RiffBox.

[Q] Restoring to a previous firmware

I have a Telus HTC Surround with the NoDo update. I had the chevron unlock, but I i unfortunately factory reset the phone, which removed the unlock. I am wondering if there is any way to downgrade my firmware back to pre-Nodo. Any help would be appreciated. I saw some ROMS to flash but I couldn't figure out which was the right one for my phone. Thanks, Sharushan
I put the phone in USB mode to do this you need to power off the phone without the USB plugged in ,....Now hold the Volume button down and keep holding it down and hit the power button, phone will boot up in 3 color Screen Red Blue Green and white at the bottom and will say Serial, now plug in your USB cable to the phone and into the computer and let it instal the qualcomm cdma driver...It will then install and your phone will switch from saying "Serial" at the bottom to saying "USB" now download this RUU_Surround_Cingular_US_1.03.502.07_Radio_5.51.09 .06_22.30.50.09U_by_ansar located here:https://rs80l33.rapidshare.com/#!download|80l3|456962609|RUU_Surround_Cingular_US_1.03.502.07_Radio_5.51.09.06_22.30.50.09U_by_ansar.zip|207904 Then Extract it and Select Rom Update Utility...Run that and it will go up to 8% hang for about 20 seconds then it will continue first 8% is formatting and verifying the ROM and Vendor ID, then it will continue, I did this and successfully downgraded the Nodo 7.7380 Update to the Factory 7.7004 and my phone shipped with 7.7380. good luck and be carefull I dont know how safe this is Im not a moderator so maybe you should check with a system mod or ansar himself before following my steps.
If you are on Telus then you will need the Telus ROM from ANSAR's Post in the WP7 Development Section but same exact way just use that ROM instead of the Cingular one I posted.

Endless booting and no recovery access. I'm about to give up.

Help please. I'm basically in a boot loop with no recovery. Idk what I should do or if its possible to make a warranty claim.
Hey guys I'm in a boot loop of some kind. I'm not an advanced user of this stuff but idk what to do at this point. So this is the situation. I have a X10a from at&t and its rooted with busybox and freex10 recovery or whatever. I had a default 2.1 ROM and flashed the offline recharging thing. My phone seemed to work fine but then my battery died out. For a while I've had recharging problems with my phone either my cable is messed up or the usb port. So anyways after it died out I tried to recharge but I was in the 3x red flashing light problem and accidentally broke my charger cord, but continuing I borrowed my friends cord and still had problems so knowing my usb port is kinda broken i just left it there. After about 2 hours my phone majestically starts up lol. So I decided I wanted to put on xrecovery just incase and My computer wont read my phone. I try everything from takeing out my sd card to restarting my computer to reinstalling pc companion like 20 times. So I tried a factory reset through the phone settings and ended up where i currently am in a boot loop. It turns on and does the sony ericsson thing then does the boot animation then my phone vibrates and the screen darkens and my buttons are lit up. It has been like this for about 30 mins so far. I tried restarting my phone by taking out the battery and taking out the sd card/sim card.
Sorry for this being long but this is my situation. Could you please help me out? I Don't know if I can do a warranty claim or anything I'm desperate so please any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Also if there is anymore information you need please just ask.
use flashtool and flash a rooted generic 2.1 rom
install xrecovery
restore a back up
My computer can't read my phone. How can I fix that? It can go into flash mode but nothing shows up not even in the /:c/ area
if your phone is in flash mode, it's fine. start flashtool, click "flash", select the rom you want to flash, put phone in flash mode (turn off, hold back button while plugging phone in, wait for green light), click ok, let it do it's thing.
Even when i go into flash mode it doesn't work. It goes in flash mode while it searches then after a while the x10 leaves flash mode. Tbh I think its my cable though. Any idea where to get an official one that will ship to hawaii?
You may be missing the drivers.
Install SEUS "Sony Erricson Update Service" from the sony erricson website.
And let it detect your phone at least once.
You can also use it to restore your phone.
Good luck.
I got all the drivers. I'm just gonna buy a Xperia Play and see if i can fix my x10 and sell it or somthing. But thanks for all the help guys
Go to flashtool, press on flash select firmware. Then after it asks put your x10 connected without your battery. Put your battery in and it should flash.

any mini usb cable should work. i use the cable from my bt device for my phone.
If the x10 goes out of flashmode, try to hold in the back button under the whole flashing progress.

Any electronics store has the cables ranging from $5-$30 depending on what your looking for in quality.
