Hello,
I need help for my HTC magic, I flashed it but after restart it doesnt work, nothing even I dont see any light, battery okay, it seems that f... up my phones hardware, I can see just the red light when I try to charge it after hours...
did you flashed the radio and spl? if you turn your phone off and press back + power, will it power in fastboot??
Yes, try either Volume down + power or Home + Power and see if you can get into fastboot or the recovery menus. Lets us know!

Hello to everyone.
I totally bricked my rogers magic when i was trying to flash it back to its original state. This happened when i flash the spl (update[1].SHIPMENT-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.0009H-signed.zip ) i took the battery after it rebooted but i guess before it finished as i saw a magic phone on the screen but could't stop on time from removing the battery.
Now nothing make my magic to turn on again, not the power button, not the back + power button, not the home + power button and not even the volume down + power button. i tried removing the battery, connecting the usb and tried all the possible combinations with no success.
Is there any way to get into fastboot, as if i get there then i can reflash my previous spl and i am done.
Please help me as i paid over 1000 dollars for this phone here in argentina and there is not htc or rogers customers support here.
Is there any pandora battery or adb force awake or adb force power on command?
Thanks in advance
Facundo from Argentina
That seems a little odd... All the reports of a bricked phone at least had the ability to power on.
Also, have you tried holding BACK + POWER continuousely ( > 25 sec. ) without letting go? I've read that this may have worked for some people. Although it was for the G1 and not the Magic.
I would try going through this thread to see if you can find anything helpful.

So... I've tried to update my rom and I've done it. Didn't like the ROM and tried to change it.
soooo. I messed everything up. My magic can't boot (it stalls on the boot screen showing "HTC Magic") and most important, I can't enter fastboot to restore a working ROM
Any ideas on this one before I go to HTC Support?

can you not get to the mode pressing home and power.
from there you should be able to use adb push to send new update to sd card

nope. Every key combined with the power button just boots the device and show the "htc magic" logo. nothing more.
I had the same sort of thing once. I removed the battery and before I put it back, I already pressed the home-key as well. Then it went into fastboot mode after I put it back in. With this way I could sent a new update.zip to the phone, flash it and then it was working again
Hope this helps

Well, it's not hard to send the update.zip. I can use a microSD 2 USB and copied it that way.
By the way I think it's the "return" key to enter fastboot. Not "home".
Tried the battery-removal trick. Didn't work.
Take out your battery, hold the volume down button and put the battery back in whilst you're holding the volume down. This in theory should bring you to fastboot. Just keep holding the volume down until you reach the fastboot screen. If after you put the battery in, nothing happens, keep holding the volume down and press the power button...
Should work...

One other thing to try is to hold the two left most keys on the front of the phone (these are different depending on your phone brand) whilst holding power, this will take you to a recovery screen where perhaps you can do something from there?
I'm assuming you get to see a splash screen first and then you see the HTC Magic logo...

the 2 most left keys are the "answer" and "home" buttons. tried it. still getting the logo.
the phone vibrates and shows the logo...
Turn it in for repairs.

Well, I am exlcuding the green call button and the red end button (which you use to run on your phone), but if it's freezing at the logo where it vibrates, then there is a problem.
I had a similar thing, but I was able to boot my phone into fastboot/recovery with the battery trick.
My two left buttons on my device are the home button and the menu button. Try holding this down when you put the battery back in. Unfortunately, the situation doesn't sound too hopeful.

did you try powering on while holding only the home button?
Hi everybody! Im new here and maybe my english is bad (sorry for that) but i have big problem!
I have HOXL (at&t) with twrp recovery and i flash Cleanrom v preview build BUT i forget to do factory reset before that.Now my phone is stuck on the boot animation and i can't do anything,even i can't connect with usb cable with my computer(led is not lightening)
Can somebody tell me how can i go into the bootloader or anything that can fix this problem?
Just hold the power button until the phone resets. Let off the power button for half a second then press it again and hold it and also hold vol (-) until you get into bootloader. From there select recovery.
Remember, no matter what if your phone is powered on, pressing and holding power WILL reset the phone. Its a hardware feature to simulate a bettery pull.
tnx

I wanted to install cynagoenmod so
1. I unlocked bootloader using HTC dev
2. I flashed cwm recovery
3. I flashed boot.img extracted from the cynagoenmod release
it was stuck in the boot-up at the HTC logo with the disclaimer text "this build is meant for developers....."
I had to run an errand so I left it as is.
when I got back it wouldn't turn on
wont blink the soft-keys after holding the power button for 10 seconds
wont boot into bootloader when holding both the vol- and power button
when connected to the charger the LED stays on orange for about a minute and turns off
only response it does a flash of white (like this like when u close the TV effect ) after holding the power button for 20 seconds
any advice would be welcome
Just keep holding the power button and also the volume down button for 20-30 seconds. It should pop into HBOOT.
If you see the screen flashing white that should mean it isn't hard bricked.

That's strange. Does your PC detect it when you connect via USB?
Plug it in and if nothing happens, press/hold all three buttons in different combinations and sequences and hopefully something should happen.

My Nexus 5 was drained off battery and was not taking charging suddenly. I entered the hard reset mode( power+volume down button) and accidently did a "restart bootloader". Since then my phone has been hard bricked! I cannot enter into recovery mode as well( power + volume down button). But I am sure that if I can get the bootloader running somehow, my phone will be back. I am sure it does not have any grave hardware issues as such. But the maintenance (service) center says , they will need to replace the motherboard, which is too costly for me.
Can anyone give me any pointers of how can I get my phone working again?

Have you tried connecting it to a computer and seeing if it gets detected by the computer in device manager? If so, it should still be possible to bring it back.
What exactly happens when you try to power it on? Does the screen turn on at all? Does it vibrate once, as supposed to, when you press the power button? Or is it completely unresponsive? Also, when you plug it in to charge, does a red LED light up where the notification light normally is?
Also, try various combinations of powering up sequences. You want to try the following:
Hold power
Hold power + vol down (this should bring you into bootloader)
Hold power + vol up
Hold power + both volume buttons
Let me know what happens when you try this, and maybe I can help you out!
