im running the mighty war rom and my phone has hard reset itself 5 times now and now this morning it is frozen at the first screen where it says touch pro2 and has the red letters at the bottom left of the screen. I am looking for a way to get it to connect to the computer so i can relock it and reflash the orignal rom and send it back so please help. Davey
Put phone in bootloader and then flash away. With phone off hold volume down and end keys for a few seconds.
do I need to hold the button on top down the black light one. or just the red end key and volume down key? thanks
got it flashed to mr. x rom and it is working fine now. thanks for the help

Hi,
I have upgraded my MDA to NO EVIL ROM Windows mobile 6 version from this forum. Device was working great for couple of weeks. Now suddenly it stopped booting. When I do soft reset the
S.N.E ... Presents screen comes up.
Then HTC Wizard screen comes up
The Touch No Evil screen come up and then it stays at the same screen. It does not respond even to power button now.
The radio light (green light) blinks. The system does not respond to even hard reset.
I am tosed. Please help. Any response to recover from this situation is usefull.
Thanks in advance...
From the sounds of it, something you have installed or configured isn't allowing the phone to finish booting. You basically have 2 choices at this point... Hard Reset or Reflash the phone.
When you say hard reset doesn't work, are you sure you are doing a hard reset? Pull the battery out and let the phone rest for a minute or so. Press the power button a couple of times (yes with the battery out) to discharge any power in the device. Then put the battery back in, and press the top two buttons on either side of the phone (Comm and Record), and while holding those in press and release the power button. After a couple of seconds you should have a black screen with white text asking you about resetting the phone. Press the Send key (the green phone key that you use to answer the phone) and you will have completed the Hard Reset. If you get errors then you need to tell us what they are. If you never get the black screen with white writing then you aren't holding the buttons down correctly.
To reflash the phone, put it in bootloader (press and hold the recorder button while pushing in and releasing the reset button (or while turing the phone on)). Once you get the tri color screen, hook up the USB cord and it should say USB in the lower left. Now you can flash it (even though the phone won't connect to ActiveSync).
Good luck and hope that helps.
Able to reboot
Thanks for the advise. After several tries, was able to hard reset and started booting and working OK.
I have not done any soft reset after this event. What should I look for to correct, if any errors.?. do you recommend that I reflash the ROM?. The only software, I had installed was Microsoft Voice recorder. I have not installed the same after the reboot.
Thanks
ANother issue
Now after resetting, I see my phone getting into vibration mode all the time. Even if I set to ring mode, it will automatically go back to vibration mode after some time. Any idea on how to fix the same?.
Thanks
Hi all,
i'm afraid today i bricked my HTC Magic (Vodafone)
The brick happened after flashing an SPL
now, turning the phone on, it gets stuck on the Vodafone logo.
I can't get to fastboot (i tried various combinations). how much time should I keep battery off/press keys/wait for fastboot?
The only different behaviour I get is a totally black screen and a blue led on when booting by pressing end call+trackball
Do you think I really bricked it? I am desperate!
Thanks for any advice
Mauro
Me too :-(
I think I also bricked my HTC Magic too. Any help?
try taking the battery out, holding the 'back' key and putting the battery in then (if it doesn't power on automatically) while still holding the back key hold the power key down.
Yesterday I got my phone from the Vodafone store @ Groningen, Netherlands. I used it normally, installed one or two mainstream programs from the market and did nothing else to it. Yesterday @ about 20:00 the trackball lit up putting out a continous bright white light. I searched the internet for a feature that could do this because I could still use the phone. Besides the trackball there was nothing noticeably wrong with it. Because I found no such features I decided to turn the device off and on again. Once I pressed on the red button to get it on, the trackball immediately lit up. When the red button was pressed for about 3 seconds a blue led lit up at the top of the device and the screen stayed black, nothing happened. I pulled out the battery, put it in again and pushed the red button for 1 sec. The trackball, again, lit up but the blue light didn't pop up. Now when I ticked the red button the blue led would flash and go off..
The vodafone store said I was the first to bring back a HTC magic, they contacted the repairservice and they said they didn't even know the magic had a code in which the rainbow led emitted blue. They treated it as DOA and gave me a new one. This one works fine, I'm very happy with this phone but still wondering what was wrong with my last.
Anyone any guesses?
To goliahandroid
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.
Hope this helps someone
Start asking your questions in the right sub-forum (Q&A) (Theme) or even in (General), or i will be forced to ban you for 3 days or till you learn.
Thanks

u need to force it into bootloader mode then flash it from an sd card or comp dont know how to get into it on sprint one, if its same u hold volume down button, and soft reset it should show up with a tri colored screen, then conect it to your comp or flash a compatible rom withan sd card more on that in forums and make sure u have hrad spl for cdma devices before u do anything else. if u need a video or something tell me lol.

Where's the link to the ROM you downloaded?
Energy Rom's are for GSM carriers. Sprint is a CDMA carrier. Follow Reaverclan's advice.
I've tried to boot it into the bootloader screen by holding the volume down button and pressing the reset button with the stylus, it does the same thing.. it just boots into first splash screen that says HTC Touch Pro, it stays like that for about 20 seconds and restarts, then it vibrates and turns on with the same logo. It repeats this process.
Need the link or the file name you d/l for use. Raph or herman it should say. that will tell us immediately.
I found out i actually have to hold both power and volume down, i'm now in the bootloader screen. Thanks everyone who helped.

sorry u have to do this to get to it in cdma phones i guess: NOTE: you will not see the SPL version during normal boot, that is the OS version, not SPL!
to enter bootloader mode to see version: with the device turned on, press and hold the volume down button along with the power button, then press the reset button with the stylus tip, then release the volume down and power buttons when bootloader tricolour screen appears. MAKE SURE U HAVE THE RIGHT HARD SPL FOR YOUR PHONE NOT GSM OR IT WILL BRICK. make sure u have this one.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3673632&postcount=2
oh i was late lol. Quote: I found out i actually have to hold both power and volume down, i'm now in the bootloader screen. Thanks everyone who helped.
Hello, I got hold of an HTC G1 but it seems like it's bricked. When I turn on the phone it shows the T-Mobile G1 screen then boots into recovery every time, even though I never press the home button. Looks like this phone boots into hboot by holding the return button instead of the photo one, is that normal? I tried restoring the phone with the DREAIMG.nbh but when it instructs me to press the send button or any other key to cancel nothing happens. When I am in the recovery mode the keys seem to work as I can alt+s and alt+w. Is there some way I can fix this or might this be a bad keys/buttons case?
Thanks for reading.
EDIT: Sorry, I just noticed I posted in the wrong section. Mods please move/delete the thread, thanks.
So as the title suggests, I flashed a bad kernel and I can't go into recovery because my power button is broken. First, about the power button. It seems to be stuck on "on" so when I pull the battery and put it back, the phone turns on. I can go to the bootloader by only holding volume up but when I get there, buttons won't work, even volume. This is probably because of the power button being held "on". Also, I have opened my phone up and there seems to be no dirt lodged in the button. Next, the kernel. I flashed a kernel that I was sure was compatible. After the Google screen, all I get is an endless black screen. Now, I think it boots to OS because after I wait awhile and tap on the area of Jelly Beans unlock, the phone vibrates. No screen though. Help, please! Thank you!
ROM was Strawberry and flashed kernel was Thalamus 4.1.2 if it helps.
During the loop, does the device is recognized by windows? Can you ADB it? If yes, you are saved, man... I had a similar problem, but unfortunately I'm unlucky now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37111798&postcount=49
