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

Hi.
I have S6500D with CM 10.1 build 30.08.2013.
I've tested latest 4 builds and white screen issue was not a problem for me, until today. Phone starts with white screen, when touching volume keys plays sounds with a little lag, home button and power buttons works but white screen remain.
But, problem is that i have white screen even in recovery mode ( CWM 6.0.3.3 jena) and download mode. I cannot do anything.
I flashed with Odin 3 v.3.04 original rom and white screen persist.
After power on, the phone plays sound logo, display turn on in white screen and stays on, then phone vibrate 3 times, periodic.
With the phone off and on charging, white screen appear and display turn off after few seconds.
What do you think ? Is there any chances to repair my phone?
Update: -now phone don't want to enter in recovery mode
What can i do ?
Solved.
Closed.
Hi,
Picked up a HTC one S of off a mate today who dropped it and cracked the screen. Replaced the screen for him but it's still not working. Here's symptoms and what I tried.
-black screen all the time
-phone boots, three buttons at bottom lit up, LED flashes green and if I call him the phone vibrates
-if I hold down the power and volume buttons down, once the home lights have flashed 15 times I see a few lines of flicker for a fraction of a second on the screen and then nothing.
-Touchscreen appears to work as it vibrates when touching it (and I'm inputting text presumably?)
-He hadn't customised/flashed any other ROM on there.
Can someone perhaps shed light on next steps for troubleshooting?
Thanks

ive also been able to get the TWRP up and have all the options available but from there im at a loss on how to proceed.
Recently broke the screen on my s6 and went through the wringer trying to get it repaired. After a few days in and out of the shop the screen is still broken, and now I just want to get my music, photos, videos, etc off the phone so I can transfer them to a new one.
The problem: My pc is only recognizing that my phone is connected when it's in download mode, and smart switch / kies says the device is unsupported when connected this way. When I exit download mode, it isn't even detected. The screen is completely unresponsive- no picture or touch, no buttons lighting up at the bottom, no notification light blinking. Is there any way to recover my stuff? Thanks.
UPDATE: I've managed to get the phone out of download mode, and the notification light at the top has turned on. It's just gradually fading back and forth from blue to light blue- I'm thinking this is a bootloop? It's still not being detected by my PC, and I still can't see or touch anything on the screen.
