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?

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

I am using Virtuous Butterfly with the kernel that came with the ROM. I was trying to check my Whatsapp when i realised it wont reload, i tried to turn off wifi and it also wont turn off so I decided to restart the phone by pressing the restart button. I went to take a shower and came back with the thing at the boot screen. I tried the hold down power and volume down trick but it just wont restart this time!
I tried to use the command "adb reboot bootloader" and nothing happened, I unplugged the cable and it is still stuck on the screen. When I press the power button, the screen will turn off and when I press it again, it will turn on, just like standby mode. I am downloading the RUU now and I will try to flash it, hope that works! If not I will just wait for the battery to die and try to charge it and boot it up again.
Anyone knows how to fix this? Cuz the power and volume down thing just wont work and the phone doesnt have a removable battery
Stay push on the power button instead it restart (with holding the low volume button), the leds will blink and it will boot on bootloader.

I had a similar experience with my first One X (International) slept in the afternoon and woke up an hour later for it to be stuck at HTC welcome screen, at first I could enter bootloader, but no RUU available at the time for recovery, it eventually wouldn't even start after charging to full, just black screen....
I was told my motherboard was bad....
Anyway I hope its not the same for you, try charging to green light and turn on. If you can get to bootloader try reinstalling RUU if possible...
Now the phone wont even start after the battery died No LED when charging no response when pushing power button. Only response is when I hold power and down, the buttons would blink. Is it doomed?
stay your phone on charge for 1 hour and stay push on the power button (it should start after the blinking)

Thank you! It saved my phone! Its now booting properly and I can go to fastboot and recovery without any problems, I wonder what happened though.
I am glad to see it worked.
You know what to do if it happens again now.

I'm using sony xperia V and after flashing a cyanogenmod rom which installed perfectly, until I select reboot and the screen
turns black and no matter which button combination or whatsoever I can't boot up.
The only things that happen is:
if unplugged, pressing the power button will vibrate the phone and green LED flash for a second
if plugged into computer the green LED flashes for a long time. Holding the volume+ button before plugging in will flash a blue LED light for some time
Both plugged and unplugged, the screen shows nothing at all, which means can't enter recovery mode, safe mode or download mode.
Is there anyway I can solve this? Or I can only buy a new phone or act dumb at the sony store.
Thanks in advance and sorry for any trouble
[Edit]I finally found a way to solve this problem after hours of frustration. Thanks to this amazing website which I couldn't post it here due to being a new member, which I could say it's from a website named androidgadgetmatic, really turned a completely useless brick into a perfectly working phone again. The only problem left (which happened before bricked) is that my phone couldn't read or even find SD card, any help in this area guys?

Ahh that looks kinda complex! Sadly im leaving to germany for a week so wont have to for it till then, Ill let you know if it works in a week!!
Hey everybody. I was looking the old threads, trying to find a solution to my problem but i didn't find anything.
I believe my power button is stuck!
The Moto G keeps turning on, and on, and on, and always takes the same time to turn itself off.
The screen keeps turning on, and then it freezes on the Motorola white screen, and then vibrates and turn itself off after 4 secs.
The same happens on recovery, after 4secs it turn itself off and then turn on again in the white screen.
When the problem started i thought it was a kind of soft brick then i've did everything i could to try to fix it reinstaling some software, then I noticed the time to turn it of/restart was equal on the normal boot or in the recovery. I realized that I could open the cellphone and when I connect the battery without pressing the power button he keeps ON when i'm in the recovery, then I flashed a ROM to make sure it wasnt a softbrick and now i'm concerned that somehow my power button is stuck.
Does anyone know what can I do to fix it? :/
Thanks,
