Hello to all, this is my first post.
I'm quite desperate here.
I do common pc/iphone service.
A client brought to me an HTC Magic on which he had tried to upgrade to 2.1 without success, being able to boot only in recovery mode (pressing Home while booting).
Being a total noob on android stuff (I'm an iPhone expert/developer) I figured I should follow some process to restore the phone to factory , android 1.6 condition, and then try the known tools to root it / update to 2.1 from what I could find by googling.
So I installed the android sdk on my PC, and followed the google-io-device guide to try to restore to 1.6.
Right after I installed the radio update, the phone doesn't boot, it gets stuck on the 3-android-robots-on-skateboards screen (I guess its the boot logo) and the recovery method doesn't work.
So I'm asking for your expertise here.
Is there any simple (or simply followed) way to /at least/ boot the phone?
Thank you all in advance,

You're stuck in Bootloader
Hi
Your phone is stuck in Bootloader Mode. You may find that by removing the battery and re-inserting it you will get to a position of loading Windows Mobile. The Bootloader is the software on the phone that is used to install a new operating system. If you search for "Stuck" and "Bootloader" on the forum or the section of your device you will probably come up with some threads about this problem.
The worst case scenario is that the "flash" of the new operating system has gone wrong so the Windows Mobile operating system can not load. If this is the case, the phone will automatically revert to the Bootloader as it can't "see" any system installed. Think of a PC reverting to the BIOS and giving you the message "Operating System Not Found" if you remove or disconnect the hard drive.
If you can't boot simply be doing a soft reset using the stylus in the hole you need to successfully flash a new Operating System or ROM. Check out the Encyclopedia at the bottom of the main forum page if you don't understand any of the words I've used here. If you can be more specific about your device and the ROM you tried to flash others may be able to help.

Hard Reset or Reflash
Hi
After flashing a ROM you always need to perform a manual Hard Reset. Read the Wiki page on your device for info on how to do this. If that doesn't help then you may have a bad flash. If this is the case then flash the ROM again but as soon as it's done perform a manual hard reset.
If you still can't get it working flash an official operators or HTC ROM to your device.
G'luck!

Hello Everyone,
I am new to the android phone and this forum. My phone is HTC Desire HD. I have two problems. Let me begin by giving some details about the phone.
1. I am running android 2.2.1, build 1.84.832.2
2. I bought this phone in China during my recent travels, but it is original, not Chinese.
3. The phone came already rooted: I see the Superuser application, and I can run applications that require rooting such as nobloat.apk; Titanium Backup and Root explorer.
4. Recently, the phone downloaded the android 2.3 update and signaled that I should update. When I accept the update prompt, the process hangs on a white triangle with a yellow exclamation sign, +the android robot in front.
5. If I manually try to update by pressing the volume(-) button and power button to get into the options for updating, the process will fail on signature verification.
6. I read some threads about changing the recovery 3e and that the recovery file is located in the system/bin folder. I looked in that folder and never found any recovery file, so using that method to solve the verification problem may be no good.
Please can someone help? I want to be able to update the phone. Thank you very much.
Hi all,
This is really not a reply. It is a call for help. I'm wondering where the experts are! I cannot update my phone. I badly need your help. Phone is HTC Desire HD. It was rooted before I bought it, in China. I am running root applications like Titanium and nobloat.
It downloads the OTA for Android 2.3. but the update process hangs on a white triangle and an exclamation sign. How to I manage to update? Thanks for your help.

Hi Forum , I reflash my H2000 because I lost my Imei´s .
I bought a cable for flashing, but with a single USB, not with multi-port - 3 USB - as it appears in all of the instructions to load Firmware.
I installed the driver, run the program load "SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject" of "BURNTOOL_SP_Download_L1104_V3.2.4". It run correctly the formatting but it couldn't load the Andriod and now I have the phone with black screen.
I would appreciate much if you can help me with how to load the Android and recover the phone.
Thanks
:/
It happened to me too
I think we lost our phones
Hello
First of all this is my first post ever, so please forgive me if I am too noob
Let me give you some background.
1. My mobile is, MySaga C1 with Android 4.2.2,
2. I was trying to upgrade the OS to 4.4, but first of all I didn't find any ROM that meets my mobile specifications.
3. Nevertheless I did try to make the upgrade, so that, I wipe all the phone within the recovery mode without making any backup, and then I lost all the OS. Now when I turn on the mobile, it makes an infinite loop with the manufacter logo and rebooting.
4. Searching on the web, like xda-developers, I found the ROM in needrom and it says how to install it using the smartphone flash tool, I tried it, but my phone is not even recognized by the machine without battery. And also I have tried to do it via adb sideload, but it starts the upgrade, but in the 25% of completion I get an error, and the upgrade is cancelled. And for last try, I "did" the ROM with kitchen, but with the same result.
I search in the forums of xda-developers, but I am not able to find the answer,that is why I post this thread.
I will be really gratefull for any guide or help.
Hey guys, I recently got a Redmi Note, and decided to root it, as I've seen many good things come out of rooted phones. I didn't have access to a computer at the time, so I used Kingroot to root the Note. (I can't read Chinese, so I can't really tell what it did.) And success, it was rooted. Soon, an OTA update came and I decided to download and install it. It booted up fine, but apps kept crashing (incl Kingroot) and I couldn't even get to the landing page/homescreen. I searched up the internet to try and load a fresh stock rom into it, cause I wanted to unroot the phone. (and still do) I tried using the Mi PC suite and load the stock rom into it, but it got stuck at sending userdata.img, and now I'm stuck at the Mi.com logo. (There's no powered by android sign at the bottom.) I've tried getting into recovery, but whenever I press vol down + power button, it takes me straight to fastboot.
TL;DR: I was an idiot and downloaded an OTA update onto my Redmi Note that was rooted via Kingroot running a stock rom. Tried to use Mi PC suite to load the stock rom onto it, but got stuck at userdata.img, and got it into a bootloop. Seek to unroot it and start afresh with a stock rom.
