Hello- I have been very upset lately that Rogers refuses to push any updates at all for the HTC Magic. I was sick of having a market place filled with old apps. Plus 1.5 is very laggy.
Anyways, so I decided to root. I used the guide for getting around the 911 "fix" and I was able to load a rom of a copy of the rogers rom with super user permissions. But that's as far as I got.
Now, I flashed the RA Recovery V.1.7.0H via Rom Manager. When I boot into recovery all goes well, I see the recovery screen and everything. But a few seconds later my phone reboots and kicks me out of recovery. This also happened with the clockwork recovery.
I have an HTC Magic 32A. Any help at all would be appreciated as it's not fair that Rogers is allowed to ruin my experience with the Android OS.
I have literally been trying to work on this for 6 hours, I haven't slept and it's 550 am. I rooted my mytouch4g and i wanted to try and install a rom. I didnt like it and i wanted to revert it back to the way it was before (still with it being rooted) when I went to flash it back to the way it was before, it would not load and got stuck on recovery. I think this was because I was using clockwork mod 3.0.0.5 (because i had flashed cyanogen 7) and I needed to revert the clockwork mod back to 2.5.1.2 which somehow or another I did..one time but I was still stuck with clockwork mod (which i want to completely get rid of) BASICALLY. I just want to revert my phone back to it's complete normal factory settings so I can start from scratch again. I can't figure out how to do it, I tried loading up the bootloader screen and hitting factory restore but it keeps bringing me to clockwork mod. I'm not sure if I have messed things up too bad already. Please for the love of God someone help me so I can have my phone again and sleep. :[
Put your phone in fastboot mode (search) then run a original RUU. Find it here on shipped-roms.com

I hope this works for you, i'm going to try it on my Evo when I get home...

How can you place a Samsung ROM into a HTC phone ?!!?!!
Forever living in my Galaxy Ace using XDA App
ok so i rooted a few weeks ago and downloaded the usual apps. super user titanium back up and clock work mod. tried to flash a rom with clock work mod and got the e:signature verification failure message. found a post for a kernal that made clock work mod actually work so i tried to flash a rom. zSimplyAOKPV5_Dark to be exact. now it sticks on boot screen. i have searched for hours and cannot find a way to fix my problem. its my first rooted android and first attempted rom flash and i botched it right off the rip. please help?
Depending on what you did beforehand, you have some options.
If you have backed everything up previously, just flash back to stock with one of the one-click stock roms in the Development section (they're in a sticky).
If you haven't backed everything up, try holding V+/V-/power until it reboots. If it doesn't take you to recovery, you can try to flash a kernel (most likely one that would match the version of android/rom you were running prior to this flash) and see if it lets you into recovery. You'll have to flash it with either Odin or Heimdall, after rebooting into download mode (power off, hold V+/V-, insert USB).
If that doesn't work, though, the stock flashing would probably be your best and/or only bet.
it wont allow me into recovery though i can get to download mode by pulling the battery and pressing just the volume +- and plugging in the usb. i was trying to flash an ics slim rom. thanks for your very speedy response.
i have now tried to flash a stock rom however it is not working from there even with the stock kernal. now it is hanging on the at&t screen.
ok i got it. seems the kernal i flashed to help cwd work properly was the culprit. now i dont know how im going to flash this ics rom im looking at without it.

Flash corn kernel if you have stock gingerbread

The utility in my signature can help you flash the Corn Kernel so that you will have CWM.
I have corn kernal and odin 3 on the computer at home. Ill do that tonight. Any suggestions on a good stable rom for a noob? Preferably ics. I hated posting for fear of being flamed as a noob. My wife keeps making fun of me for it so I kinda have to get it done. I want to fix hers also. Its a great little phone it just seem a bit buggy to me. Very laggy. Thanks for all the help.

Maybe start with a KK4 based rom such as Legend and then move up to ICS after that. I only say that because there is a bug in ICS that could render your internal SD unusable. It's rare, but when it happens you will not be happy.
Still unable to get corn kernal to flash. I've tried a few of your guys fixes but I'm gonna have to get some other updates to my computer first.
