I had the same issue, it was stuck forever in the vodafone logo, and fastboot mode or recovery modes didn't work at all, no matter what combination of buttons, after an incomplete SPL update.
"The only thing slightly different was keeping the trackball pushed when pressing the power button, lighted up the led light in blue, and nothing else, no logo or any other activity.
I thought it was completely bricked, but no. Here's what i did
With the phone off, connected the USB cable, then powered it up. While it was still frozen on the logo screen, i could actually issue fastboot commands, so I was able to send a fastboot boot recovery.img and flash again the SPL, and a new ROM. No problem after that." EHRepli
Try what he said on a different post and see if that works. If not then you're screwed.

which recovery image should i flash????

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot boot recovery.img
< waiting for device >
it's just sitting there,,, i have the same bahaviour i press the trackball with power i get blue LED, i turned it off, plugged it in via USB then turned it on. Should i be trying to get it into fastboot mode? or just normally turn it on?

There are a few thread on how to recover from that. Some can recover, some can not. It all depends on what was done initially and which radio image was installed and the OS image etc.
I recently flashed a ion (32B) radio on the Roger's magic and was completely stuck. Sent it in to HTC and they fixed mine for US$20.00 and 10 day of waiting. If your phone is still under warranty, do that. Worst case, if you are in Canada, see if a Rogers store can replace it for you.

i really dont know what i did wrong...

Same here, I have tried every key sequence known to man and still no luck. I tailed the output of messages (under linux) watching for a glimmer on the usb port when connecting/powering on/removing/replacing battery etc etc but there is nothing.
Without it there is no way for me to fastboot a recovery. I'm afraid I have a $500 brick unless someone has a radical idea...:-(

i just brought it back and got a new one...

It happen the same to me in my Rogers HTC magic, just wipe again and reflash thats how I solved it

Make sure you flash the cm-rom and then flash the ebi1/32A port file.

ok if you can get into the adb shell just start from scratch basically
follow this to get a dirty way to start from scratch...
PLEASE EDIT THE INSTRUCTIONS TO A 32A VERSION!!!
i think that is why the radio is pwned.... i believe the ion is a 32B "device"
good luck
do nothing, no working buttons and no adb shelling (no any connection with pc)
try to pull the battery with the device powered on..
then hold home as you put the battery back in.

What?
Before you even try to flash your device, first try to find out the diff between a and b devices, htc and google branded devices.
If you dowwnload ION official rom and flash, you shuld at least know what device it is made for, dont expect htc to tell you..
And dont blame forums for own stupidity.

I was saying that so that since he already tried to install a 32B radio, that if he were to get it up again, to install the right radio.
same problem here, bricked.
I am a newbie here, was using Cyanogen mod and myHero 1.1.2 without any problems (32A)
Wanted to try JAC's mod, hence updated my radio/spl.
Radio update went fine without errors, upon reboot it just hangs there at HTC MAGIC logo.
Bringing it to the carrier now for a swap, hopefully.
the only thing that phones do is that while i'm pressing joystick + off blue led turn on.just i do't know what it is and what this can do
@evilfry
have you tried the multiple ways to boot or adb it?
yes all the ways. adb wants the phone connected with pc, pc doesnot find phone when it isn't turn on or in fastboot. the only screen that apears on the phone is htc magic logo. nothing else.

Your device is bricked bro!!. Say its obituary. Never upgrade radio as it will not talk to SPL.
I'm sorry to report that you almost certainly have bricked the phone. I flashed a hero radio by mistake and the phone went back to htc for repair. They had to replace the main board.
man i had the same issue i took out the sim card and boot the phone in fastboot mode then did the recovery and now its back........ dont know if you wanna try that

[Q] Bricked HTC One S HELP!

So I just got my phone today, rooted and installed the Viper rom. Then I installed the blackout kernel. It installed fine but it wont start up anymore. The phone won't go to bootloader or anything. I tried the 10 second power +volume down, ill get the screen that says htc one s this is a development phone and thats it. it turns off after that. When i plug the phone into a charger the light doesnt come up, i tried to use fastboot from my computer but it can't find the device since its not in fastboot. what should i do?!
This is odd. Even when you try turning the phone on with the volume down button depressed you can't get into bootloader? I've always been able to get to bootloader so this one is a challenge. I would make sure you have enough battery life in your phone too. Even if you have kernel issues you should still be able to make it back to bootloader. It should pop up instantly without any other boot screens. I imagine you can't see your phone from your computer with either adb devices or fast boot devices?

Are you sure you flashed the right kernel? I know quite a few Blackout kernels.
You did flash the boot.img, right? You can try flashing it again. If nothing works, try an RUU, or let the battery drain.
Are you sure you're trying to go into the bootloader the right way? The trick for me was to hold down only the power button, then once it goes off, hold down the volume down and the power button.
I remember the time another person had a similar issue, and managed to get in after about 30 tries.

Go into fastboot in the bootloader. Then type fastboot flash boot boot.img in your Windows command prompt.
You should be able to extract the boot.img from the relevant zip file of your custom kernel. Then put that file (assuming its named boot.img) in the same folder as fastboot.exe

Unfortunately, if you can't access recovery, fastboot, or ADB, you have very little chance of fixing it.

[Q] did i brick my phone?

Hello everyone
im in a little big dilema here.
i was on cm11 and i wanted to go back to stock,
so i tried to flash Retail brasil and the process failed at around the second step,
i believe it said something about tz signed.
i left my device there, then after the phone shut down i could no longer turn it on.
i tried the vol- and power and i got nothing, also the vol+ vol- and power and also nothing.
i cannot make my phone respond.
also battery was at around 80% so it does have battery.
im afraid i might of bricked it trying to go back to stock. xD
kind of funny.
has this happened top anyone?
help would be appreciated a ton.

Some questions that may help people help you if you can answer them:
Did you use an fxz with RSD Lite when you were trying to go back to stock? If so, where did you get it? If not, what procedure did you use? Which version of Android was it? 4.1.2?
Although to be honest, if you can't even get to fastboot, your chances aren't good. I've been in similar situations before and I was able to fix it because I could at least get into fastboot and start from scratch. You are sure power + volume buttons together isn't working?

thank you so much for your help.somehow i got it back up and running
Had the same happen to me. It didn't want to go into recovery gave a message it failed. With some patience I manged to get the button combo to work for fastboot then did a flash-all of the factory image. I think the trick was it had to be plugged in to get to download mode and I think you may hit the power button slightly before the volume down. It was a bit tedious. I tried to recover the boot.img and that trashed things up worse, got no google loading logo or something odd. Anyhow flashing the full factory image fixed things!
Glad you got it resolved, maybe this helps someone else in the same spot.
