HELP: is my Magic bricked?

I was running a hero ROM on my device, and wanted to try an Eclair ROM. I wanted to flash it but in the process I saw something like: E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command on the screen. I went ahead and performed a wipe because I read it was harmless. But then the installation was aborted because the file update.zip couldn't be found (even though it was on my phone). So I went ahead and rebooted my device. Now it always gets stuck at the little green android, then he disappears and I get a black screen. The device remains on however and I need to pull out the battery for it to turn off... COULD ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME

After doing all you did your device should boot normally. Obviously it didn't. I don't know what went wrong, but if you boot into recovery you should be able to flash a ROM.
Just make sure you have the right recovery and right ROM files.

I only have that Eclair rom on my device (which can't be flashed).
My PC won't read the SD card anymore so I can't put any rom on it...

Your not bricked... you basically just failed the update process then wiped your current installed rom with the Wipe. Now you rebooted the phone but there's no rom to load. You now see only the boot starting up and hitting the wall with no rom to load.

That makes sense.. How can I fix this issue?
thank you

Would help if you could give us some info on your phone.
Can you enter recovery or fastboot again ?
phone model, spl & radio version ?

this is why Iphones were invented.... For people who cant understand simple directions or even read for that matter.
What recovery do you have? Get another rom, go into recovery, hit the USB toggle switch and put anothe rrom on. It doesnt have to be named update.zip...
Nevermind.. Doesnt matter what I type here you'll go an do what you want anyway.

I have the htc Magic
How do I get to see my radio and spl?
Yes, I can enter recovery mode.
thank you

I can enter fastboot!
RADIO: 3.22.20.17
SPL 1.33.2005
btw it's a 32A

Where is this USB toggle switch??
Android system recovery utility
Use trackball to highlight:
click to select.
reboot system now [Home+Back]
apply sdcard:update.zip [Alt+S]
wipe data/factory reset [Alt+W]
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
That's all I see.

Only the latest recovery has the Usb option in it.

+1 to that.
You wipe your phone, couldn't boot it and you did not know the reason for this. You wiped your ROM, there's nothing to load up when you boot it. It's so simple.

Wow, just wow. If you need spoonfeed after spoonfeed, How in the world did you root your phone in the first place? You run into problems at EVERY step. Honestly, get the iphone (It's not that badddddd of a phone! Just agreeing with what crypt said!) or don't root your phone. You fail to even look for instructions. I don't understand how your PC can't read your SD card? That probably means it's dead (Which means you need a new one) OR the thought of taking it out and plugging it into an sd adapter never occured to you. I bet you even wiped your SD card somehow.
How come you can't put the recovery on your SD card? Or the rom or anything else

And why was the ROM (update.zip) on your phone and not your sd card? I believe that you fail fail fail to look at any instructions the awesome people have posted here. If you fail to follow instructions given on these forums, how will you follow instructions given from members trying to help you? I find it useless to bother helping any further.

I don't have an sd card adapter and since my phone won't start up, my pc won't recognize my device anymore. Take it easy btw, I'm only looking for help

If help is what you're looking for, then go look around under these forums. I suggest you go and buy an adapter as well, it'd help a lot. May even be your only choice. (I believe there's another way but I'm not going to bother with that as it may be too complicated for you. I dont' think it'd work either with your recovery)
I don't mean to be an ass but when questions like this are posted, I hope you understand. It's as bad as asking how to turn your phone on vibrate. The manual is with your phone and everything, take a look or get some common sense and try the volume buttons.
The forum is your manual. You wiped your ROM, well if you think about it, of course it wont boot up all the way. It has nothing to load. Can't put stuff on your sd card? Get an adapter. It's simple.

I thought people would think right away that they would need an sd adapter to somehow get it onto their computer once they have no other choice lol.

okay that's clear, thank u for your time

For now I don't have an sd adapter, so I stuck the sd card in my brother's phone and tried to put the necessary files but now it seems I have to format the sd card.. Is this harmful or should I just go ahead?

I have the latest recovery but I get a popup message on my PC saying I should format the SD card. Will I still have the 'data' file where I need to put the recovery file under?

what ever you have on it will be erased.
You can also use fastboot to flash the recovery without having to import it into the sdcard. I would not recommend it to you do since lack the basic android knowledge. (all the command are listed in the thread i posted earlier)

If I format the SD card, where should I put the recovery.img if there is no /data anymore? (using the reboot method)

Easy way to install the latest update manually?

I'm running a 100% stock sensation and the OTA update hasn't hit my phone yet.
Is there an easy way to install it from my sd card? I read somewhere that i'd need to boot into recovery, but I can't get that to work either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

download the zip file
rename it to update.zip
put it on the root of your microsd card.
boot into recovery.
either TURN OFF FAST BOOT in the power menu and turn off phone, or pull the battery and put it back in
hold down volume down and power.
you'll get into bootloader.
use the volume buttons to go up/down and select recovery. press power to select.
you'll get triangle with ! on it.
press power then volume up real quick/at the same time
you'll get the stock recovery.
go down to select install update.zip.

Download the OTA to the root of the sd card. Then take batt out. Put batt back in. Then hold- vol down + power. That will take to you the hboot menu. Let it look for the .img and then it will take you to a new menu. From there click on 2nd icon, recovery. It will either start for you or you will get a red triangle. If you get the red triangle. press vol up+ power. then click on update from sd card, then click on the update file. Hope this helps.
Edit- I was too slow typing

Root folder would just be /sdcard if I'm using root explorer, right?
Can't get it to work, I'm sure I'm doing something stupid and not realizing it.

When I select 'apply update from sdcard' it says Invalid Operation and then reboots the phone without updating anything
It also says: "E:Can't open/cache/recovery/command" when I open up that second console.
Any clue why that's happening?

Yes. If you have custom recovery, it's not going to work. Has to be stock recovery.

Same here.

This is really frustrating, I hope it doesn't affect my ability to get the OTA update.
Does anyone have any idea why we're getting the "Illegal Operation" error?

I didn't rename the OTA. It kept it as it was.... all though one thing that I did notice was that I would continue to get an error until the OTA was at the top of the list... Sounds weird but just keep trying.

Ok, on my phone when it downloaded the update, it put it in the /download/ folder on my microsd card.
You guys should try that maybe.

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

Asian HTC Sensation Z710e
no go for me either. I get a same error message...
I've used OTA file for European and also US T-Mobile phones. It just wont work on my (Asian WWE) HTC Sensation.
It seems like I am destined to wait until end of September before I get my update...
I have purchased my phone at negrielectronics.com
Any other users of this version of Sensation? What's your experience?

I gave up, did s-off, and did a 1.45 based rom instead, heh.

I was lucky enough to get the OTA today and the other errors I had didn't prevent me from getting the update.
Good luck guys!

Please read entire OP of the hack kit. I'll give you a hint.. IRC chatroom..they will be able to give you the best advice possible.

If the rooting process worked correctly.
Here is the rooted updated ATT Gingerbread ROM. Just place PD98 in root of SD card then go into bootloader and let it do its thing. When it ask to install volume up for yes. AS ADVICED " RESEARCH"
Place it in the root of your SD card (you will have to remove SD card and use adapter to move zip file to root of SD card if PC does not recognize phone with USB cable) and power phone off then power back up holding down power button and volume down button at same time. Phone should go to bootloader then it will recognize the PD98 zip file and ask if you want to istall. Volume up for yes and it will do its thing. No need to try to get into recover phone will do it itself with the PD98 zip file. Zip is (ATT ROM 2.47.502.7 w/Radio - 26.10.04.03_M)
This is for Rooted Stck ROM
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Q6YYQFIM
NO NEED TO RENAME JUST DOWNLOAD AND PLACE IN ROOT OF SD
Hope it helps
PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT ANYTHING ON YOUR PHONE IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING.

Then you can flash a custom ROM if you like.

you didnt extract the zip file did you? place the zip in sd root without extracting, also do not place in any folders. If it didnt work then something went wrong in the rooting process. You may have to go to the IRC chat talked about above.

same thing happened to me. found this int he stuck in hboot sticky
Alternate-Flashing of RUU
This is for those that don’t have access to an adapter to place files with. This should work whether your S-on or S-Off
RUU’s: http://driphter.com/index.php?topic=3872.0
1) Download your RUU from above
2) Boot into Hboot
3) Connect your phone to your PC
4) Select fastboot
5) Run the RUU program
this has worked for me multiple times.

Phone is stuck on White HTC Screen

I've been having this problem for the past 2 days and has came to the point where I'm running out of clues.
The phone has been previously rooted with Acekit and flashed with MIUI. But since the ROM gave me problems (the phone would randomly restart on me), I decided to flash another ROM instead.
I tried CoreDroid, flashed it, it wasn't functioning correctly, so I switched to the newest MIUI version availiable, everything worked fine but for some reason...there's no sound when I call someone.
I figured I should probably reroot the phone again. So I downloaded the Acekit, ran it through, when it got the point where the White HTC screen popped up, it just got stuck there for like an hour.
I popped the battery, tried booting by Vol Down + Power, I get teh white HTC screen stuck on me.
I tried installing the stock AT&T mod, it wouldn't go through.
I tried rerooting it again, it'd eventually stop, my guess is that I'm not able to go to USB debugging. So I'm stuck here.
I did my research over this forum and on google, but unforunately it hasn't helped me too much.
Is there anything I can do just to get a functioning mod running? I just want the stock ROM at this point. If someone can help me it'd be much appreciated.

If you did your research and read the effen manual for the hack kit you wouldn't have tried to root your phone again with the hack kit.
Unfortunately I have never done this nor would I because I know better. I know I have seen answers to your problem before on the forum. Maybe it was a sticky in the General forum. If that doesn't help then enter the IRC channel like you were told in the hack kit thread and get the help needed.

Use genes s on tool to return to stock and then root again with aahk.

^
I'm assuming this is what you're talking about. I'm downloading the PD98IMG.zip right now and will be working on it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208507&highlight=gene

I followed the instructions:
Code:
Do a nandroid and/or Titanium backup! It never hurts!
While still in ClockWorkMod recovery, do a "Factory Reset/Wipe Data". This is necessary if you've got an ext4 cache or CM7 dalvik-cache on /cache. If not it will cause boot hang after installation. EXT4 cache will not work with this tool. If your recovery has ext4, be sure you format the cache to EXT3.
Download from the URL below, copy to the SD card and rename to "PD98IMG.zip"
Reboot to HBOOT: Shutdown completely (disconnect USB if connected and pull battery if necessary) then while holding down the VOL-DOWN key, press the POWER key for about half a second. The phone should boot into HBOOT, check the PD98IMG.zip for consistency, then prompt you to install. Select VOL-UP to install.
Once installed, HBOOT will prompt you to reboot by pressing the POWER button. Do this.
The operating system in this tool is a stripped down CM6 install with only the minimum features necessary to run an apk. The apk for the tool will run after the HTC splash screen, then prompt you through the process. Depending on the speed of your SD card, the last step, copying the RUU to the SD card, may take several minutes.
Once successfully completed, the phone will automatically reboot to HBOOT and begin the process of installing the RUU. The only thing you have to do at this point is acknowledge the prompt to install by pressing VOL-UP. (Note: the RUU install may skip a couple of images during the install but this is normal.)
Once the RUU is installed, press POWER to reboot and your phone should be in 100% factory out-of-box condition.
I went into HBoot,
It automatically went to
Code:
SD Checking...
Loading...[PD98DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PD98DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong zipped image!
Loading...[PD98IMG.zip]
Wrong zipped image!
Loading...[PD98IMG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
And then just went back without prompting me anything.
I basically am not able to reach to step 5

Make sure its on the root of your sd card, meaning not in a folder. Also make sure you didn't name it pd98img.zip.zip. if naming in windows the file extension could be hidden leaving you with the double zip. Basically its supposed to be a zipped file named pd98img.

turns out the downloaded file was corrupted. I downloaded again and it worked. Thanks guys!

[TUT] Unbrick Your HTC One S [TUT]

Hi all,
Today was a tough day for me. I bought a T Mobile HTC One S in India (It was unlocked).
When I started using it I found that it did not connect to 3G Network.
So I thought may be installing a new ROM would help.
So, I Rooted my phone with the help of such useful posts on xda (Thank You all for Making it so NOOD Friendly)
But, the ROM did not start, it stuck on boot screen (THAT STUPID UNICORN)
I waited for hours, but NO SUCCESS...!!!
After doing some wrong things, I BRICKED my phone. It only started CWM Recovery.
But, by TRIAL & ERROR, I fixed my phone right back.
FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU ALL THOSE AMAZING DEVELOPERS ON XDA WITHOUT WHOM THIS MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE
Now, I decided that I should post something so that people like me would get some help.
Here it is:
STEP 1:
1. Put your phone in BOOTLOADER mode by pressing volume down+power
2. Download AIO Kit from HERE
3. Extract it and Run it.
4. You will see a Flash Recovery radio button.
5. Select TWRP from above list and click on FLASH RECOVERY
6. Once it installs. Repeat the 1st Step and put your Phone again in BOOTLOADER mode.
7. Press volume down button and highlight RECOVERY and press power button again. You will enter recovery.
I followed all those above steps as instructed by the best posters on XDA (THANK YOU ALL).
Now when I tried to mount sd card, it said error mounting sd card. Then I again searched all forum and tried everything but I was unsuccessful.
I was worried as how was I going to put a ROM on my sd card so that I can put my ONE S back to normal.
I also used "adb push" syntax and tried to push the ROM on sd card, but it was a failure. The ROM transferred to sd card but it did not install since it still showed "error mounting sd card"
(IF YOU HAVE FACED THE SAME PROBLEM WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN AND YOU ARE STILL TRYING TO FIX THAT MOUNTING OF SD CARD ERROR FOLLOW THE STEPS I HAVE WRITTEN BELOW)
AFTER THAT I FOLLOWED THE FOLLOWING STEPS AND MADE MY MISSION SUCCESSFULL
8. Click on MOUNT USB in the recovery mode. You will see that you laptop / pc will come up with a message that you storage has errors and you need to fix it.
9. Click yes and format it. (You will see later that it was your phone sd card)
10. Once the format is complete, copy the ROM you want to the device and you will be flashing it later.
11. Now, click on UNMOUNT USB. Remove USB Cable
12. Now get out and click on INSTALL in TWRM Recovery.
13. Browse where you pasted the ROM.zip file and start installing it.
14. After successful installation your HTC will boot normally.
AND DONE...!!!!
I would highly appreciate if senior members of this forum modified what i have written in a better way. (SINCE I AM IN A HURRY)
If I helped, PLEASE DON'T BE SHY TO SAY THANKS...!!!
THANK YOU ALL THOSE VALUABLE MEMBERS OF XDA WITHOUT WHOM MY HTC ONE S WAS NEVER GONNA GET BACK TO NORMAL

Just to clear something up.....if you can get to recovery your device is not bricked
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app

Also, I'm relatively sure this exact thread has already been posted and is linked on the first page of the faq thread.

Dude! You are a god send =) I soft-bricked my One S nearly three weeks ago. I happened upon your thread and yours was way more thorough and user friendly than all the rest. I followed your steps exactly and voila! Got my phone back from the coma state.
Much obliged,
Da Baron

Rom?
I know this was some time ago, but do you recall which rom you used?

Well, I cant go to to recovery, hboot nor the bootloader. So im simply f-ed up.

8. Click on MOUNT USB in the recovery mode. You will see that you laptop / pc will come up with a message that you storage has errors and you need to fix it.
9. Click yes and format it. (You will see later that it was your phone sd card)
10. Once the format is complete, copy the ROM you want to the device and you will be flashing it later.
11. Now, click on UNMOUNT USB. Remove USB Cable
12. Now get out and click on INSTALL in TWRM Recovery.
13. Browse where you pasted the ROM.zip file and start installing it.
14. After successful installation your HTC will boot normally.
AND DONE...!!!!
I would highly appreciate if senior members of this forum modified what i have written in a better way. (SINCE I AM IN A HURRY)
