Magician dead

Hello All,
My Magician by random sometimes starts and after a minute or so it shut down it self
and than start itself up .
It never stay on for longer than one or two minutes.
Sometimes it does not react when i pushed the on button and the red LED light is on
when i put it on the bat loader.
Only when the red LED is going of then i can get it started but than as i mentioned before
it go's off after one or two minutes and start by itself.
Sometimes it can not make the startup compleet and shut down at the first screen.
This is the satus which i got it back from a service repair from the phoneshop where i bought it.
They say that the warant is over time so i must pay for further repairs.
Please anyone help.

Sprint TP2 endless reboot loop - keeps restarting itself

I hope someone can help me, I have a Sprint Touch Pro2. Last night it randomly started rebooting itsself, i was not loading a new rom, i was not installed any software, i wasn't doing anything other that texting and IMing people. After i removed the SD Card, there were a few times i got it to load to the unlock screen, but once i got passed that it would say "starting device activation..." or something like that. Then i got it loaded but Touch Flo 3D would not automatically start. So i removed the battery and restarted it again and i went to bed and left it charging, and it kept restart itself again, when i woke up it the phone was dead, and will not turn on. The charging light is on but it will not turn on.

This happenned to me, i ended up having to exchange the phone.

have u tried a hard reset. U can do this by holding power button and call and end keys.
Phone must be off and it will completely erase your data

this sounds like what my phone is doing. is there a fix? i think im sol because i didnt buy it though sprint.

Not Hopeless
This happened to my Sprint TP2 I soft and hard-reset it but it still went back to the reboot loop.
I put it in the tri-boot screen and re-reflashed the stock ROM and all was well.

Same here
The same thing is happening for me right now. Soft-resets aren't helping. It's sporadic, however, sometimes saying it successfully activated and needs to reboot (then going into activation right away), sometimes saying it failed, and sometimes not coming up at all (but I'm pretty sure it's running in the background, even if I hit cancel, because the phone is very warm and the battery drains very quickly).
I took it to Sprint and they confirmed it was already activated. They tried manually activating it, succeeded, and it still kept doing it. However, both them and I were able to place a phone call, text, and visit a website... so basically it was working. But, like I said, this constant nagging of activation was running in the background sucking juice and killing performance. Their diagnosis was "it's acting weird". The main home screen clock has also been stuck at 0:00 ever since this started (though the lock screen clock and clocks in the World Clock screen are correct).
They said I could go to their service shop and do a diagnostic and backup/wipe/restore or they'd replace it under warranty if it still didn't work.
I figured I'd just try the hard reset myself tonight. Will post how that goes. I'm not sure what this "tri-boot" screen is, but I'll do some searching and check that out too.

[Q] Strange goings on after reset

Apologies if this has been asked before but I have had a look through and although there are similar threads nothing is quite the same.
HTC Desire s
This is my sons phone and is contract Vodafone
He reported that the phone was freezing and turning itself off
I did a quick look up and found the factory reset tips so told him to do this.
Using the volume down and power button brought up the menu but not exactly as described as it had no erase data tag, it did however have a factory restore tag so he used this.
the phone shut down ok but then on restart just kept starting to the HTC quietly brilliant screen, made its jingle then displayed the vodafone screen, then after about five seconds turned itself off and then on then the same again. Not wishing to disturb the process and assuming it may do this a few times I told him just to leave it doing its thing. It continued to do this all night (12 hours).
In the end the battery was removed, reinserted then switched on. All looked good when the PAYG/contract screen came on and it proceeded through all the first time screens but then it froze, turned itself off and started doing the loop again with HTC quietly brilliant, then Vodafone then off.
this went on for ages, occasionally going as far as the phones home screen then repeating.
have now tried the factory reset again, taken out the SD card, removed the sim card and although it has slowed the process down it is still repeating and never going beyond the Vodafone symbol.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Many thank's Ian

Update to this, when the battery is removed and reinserted now without the SD and sim, the phone is turned on, it will go as far as the no sim inserted screen, if you then slide the bar down to unlock it goes to the White screen with HTC on then after a few minutes turns off, turns back on, does its jingle then Vodafone screen.
Please help as it appears my sons life has ended and the whole world has crashed.

Further update
Got message
the process com.htc.bg has stoped unexpectedly.

Does that mean no one can help?
Looks like time to send it back to the professionals.

[Q] Need expert openion, if its Hardware or Software problem

I got a used HTC sensation XE with audio beats, with WiFi not working (GB was installed). Wifi & Teathering services always remained on "Error" when wifi turned on. Bluetooth, SIM services all were doing good. Used it in this condition for 2~ days, all went fine exept I once found it powered off while it was on wall charging.
Then I upgraded it to ICS downloading Stock ICS ROM from this thread. Which was isntalled successfully and the WiFi started to work.
It worked fine for 2 days, except my phone restarted on its own once or twice. At that moment i was using 340 MB of internal storage for apps and 750 was free. One night i was playing "Cut the Rope" and my phone prolonged a game sound and turned off, I removed battery and replaced it and turned on, but nothing happened, it remained off. Attached it to charging but no response. I left it there and after about an hour charging light turned on and it powered on.
From that moment, Phone often shows message "Low Storage Space", Hangs and then turns off. And fails to turn on again, sometimes for 24 hours. I did a "Factory Restore" from boot loader (power + voluem dwn), but its still behaving same.
Lattest: It turns on by pressing power button for 20 to 30 sec. Sometime goes upto lock screen and turns off, sometimes turns off on first screen and most of the times dies at audio-beats screen (after or before change is screen brightness). Remains dead for some time then again to same position.
Any expert openion/ experiance/ etc....
I don't have option of replacement. What to do? :crying:

But it never turns off just sitting at the bootloader or fastboot screen? Doesn't turn off while doing a factory reset? Only when trying to load software and activate hardware booting into the OS?

Yes it didn't turned off sitting idle in bootloader. But it completed its factory reset in 3 restarts; 1st right after loading stock, 2nd configuring apps 10/36 and 3rd at 23/36. Then 4th time it died on fresh Lock Screen.
NOTE: I removed SIM, SD Card in the very beggining of the problem.

I would try replacing the battery... it's about all that's left as it appears your phone is locked and more or less all stock..
Cuts down your options for things. Any sign of moisture exposure?

Haven't tried out any other battery, I tested it on voltage meter and it showed ok, BUT you have got a point; I must check it with some other battery of working phone.
Moisture:: Well there was Mist/ Fog a few days back but mostly I stayed at warm place + I kept it in fromt of fan heater after ealry episodes..
