Hi there !
i've been given the task to try to unbrick a Htc Magic from Italy, je previous owner had a bricked the phone, and now i'm trying to understand how should i proceed to unbrick the phone (or if it's even possible).
the phone comes from italy and should be a 32A version.
it goes to the Tim Logo screen and then stop.
i've no access to any screen like fastboot or recovery
except for the bootradio (Power & trackball) wich light up the blue led.
thanks for any advices or clues.
best regards.
K.
anyone has an idea ?
Up ? anyone have i posted in the wrong section ? if so can a moderator move the thread ?
Did you try to type adb logcat in a shell or command prompt?
impossible for the computer to detect the phone.

There were some people who had experience same symptom in this forum including me. But some people had luck, the others not.
My unit had same symptom as yours have. I had tried lots of methods which had reported as unbricked. But I could not have any luck.
Please search forum and read it. There are more information then I had been trying to.
But don't try to call HTC branch. "HTC don't deal with any brand customized products", it was the only answer from HTC.
Good luck!

Are you saying that some people were able to recover their phones without access to fastboot or recovery? I'd love to see this
To me that means the phone is dead... and this sticky FAQ thread says the same thing...
did you try the sappimg trick?

No idea what pause mode is
If you would like help here you will have to

4- any other mods eg link2sd
Hello from Spain!
There are several users with this wonderful smartphone in my country.
It usually comes factory unlocked, running on Android KitKat 4.4.4.
I wonder whether there exists any root method for it. I've been told it won't work the method for the 360H model.
Any tips and help is very welcome, please.
Thanks a lot!
Please :crying:
I did it! I made the root to my Galaxy core prime LTE 360F . The application needed is called "Kingroot.apk". Can you find official website on google.
The application language is Chinese but is really easy , do not worry

Really?????? I just tried Kingo Root, but via USB on my PC, and it didn't work.
I'm gonna take a look at the APK version.
Thanks a lot! :victory:
I confirm that Kingroot.apk latest version 4.0 , rooted my G360F.:good:
Still remaining issue with KNOX, I cannot disable it.
Install root Explorer and delete Knox or install system app removal and uninstall
Sent from my SM-G360F using XDA Free mobile app
kingroot.net seems available for lollipop

anyone with a rooted G360F please do that command as root, we need it for unbricking his device,
so nobody is willing to help, no problem then i will repair it by warranty or by paying, but i will stop testing recovery mods for this phone. best of luck
Why is it desirable to delete or uninstall Knox. excuse my ignorance.

Its not as secure as people might think. It can cause issues/bricks when doing certain things with rooted phones. Most of all its partially developed and backed by the nsa which is one of the most shady surveillance entities in the world

It was meant to make phone more "secure" if u are not rooting or planning on flashing a rom then u can just leave it. Otherwise there are things u should know before disabling. What are your goals for this phone?

It IS rooted ... My immediate goal for this phone is to get Google Play Store to work again after one month of it hating me after I foolishly (better word than "accidentally" which most people seem to use)" uninstalled Google Play Store after rooting my phone last month.
Can't one just BEG Google to help them with copy of Google Play for a rooted phone after foolishly uninstalling it??? ... My account with Google is good in all other respects ... If so HOW?! and WHERE?!
HOW THE HELL can you get Google Play from GOOGLE PLAY when it crashes IMMEDIATELY EVERY TIME YOU TRY???
Talk about CATCH farking 22 !!!!
If I had the money I would take a FREAKING HAMMER to my phone and buy a NEW one and start ALL OVER AGAIN DAMMIT!!!
DAYAM ... a freaking month of hundreds of hours trying to fix a stupid error that punishes you MERCILESSLY whenever you try to do ANY FARKING THING Google except search ... DAMN !

I wouldnt know a custom recovery if it bit the entirety of one of my butt cheeks off.
Android version 4.4.4 ... I will send you a screenshot of my device "about" screen on my phone with PRECISE rom details when and if I decide NOT to set myself on fire with gasoline and calm down a bit.
I am currently tethered and therefore cannot access my phones files to fetch existing screenshot of that from my phone and have too much open on my PC via my phone internet wifi connection to bother to break it this minute
Thank you SO much for your obvious intention to help me btw ...
PLEASE do not think that ANY of my anger is directed at YOU.

No worries sir. A custom recovery is clockworkmod,team win recovery project, philz recovery. They give u more options than stock recovery that comes with phone. I access recovery by holding down power,volume up, and home until samsung logo pops up, then release power and continue to hold others until recovery menu pops up. But ur phone might be different. Its important to have custom recovery so in case ur phone gets messed up you can fix it from there, or flash a new rom. And u can make a backup of the exact state ur phone is in now so u could restore it later if things go bad. I will help u with all this but it will take me awhile so dont stress. Dont worry im poor and only use wifi too. I have 4 kids and disabled son, health problems, etc so i feel your pain. We will get thru this together in time. To attach screenshot hit the quote button under my post and then reply. Normal reply wont do it. Then below where u write u will see attachment options and can select from gallery the pic. Then hit upload and close that window. Then send message. I got your back

I am on a PC and do not see a quote button under your post nor have a "gallery" on my PC ... sheesh ... constant problems which are small but add up over months to the loss of the wish to go on living sometimes ...
One would think it should NOT be impossible to drag and drop or otherwise choose a photo on your PC to post in the forums here without having it posted on a website somewhere and having to supply a URL!
It is after midnight AGAIN here and NOTHING accomplished in my life today including eating or bathing or sleeping all because of this ******* phone and GOOGLE!
I cannot be the only one with such a problem in the world and I cannot believe that it has TOTALLY ruined over a month of my life to have uninstalled Google Play from my phone!
*whimper*

Oops i forgot u were on computer. Yeah gallery only on phone.
I always attach screenshots on my phone since thats where i take pics so i didnt know it was different on computer. Dropbox is probably easiest to use if u need url. Until u get everything set up this will be frustrating but then it will be awesome! Tomorrow we will try to get into ur recovery and if its not good enough then i will help u flash custom recovery and things will get easier. Then we will get ur google apps back no worries. U will not have problem like this again because we will back up ur phone properly and if mistakes are made after that it will be able to be restored the same day. Talk to u soon

You can install some apks to optimise your phone like : power clean master clean ...
If you want to root & install customs roms

Because I don't USE stock, have never seen that error and have no clue what the solution is?
Not everybody here will always have answers to your questions, that's simply how things are ... doesn't mean you have to ask the same damn thing again, making new threads on several days ...
