You know any way to flash as factory?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bonesy:
Will it actually turn on or does it just flash a red led when you press power?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] edugg:
Starts, appears the splash but only gets to that point
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bonesy:
In that case it isnt bricked its just stuck...Bricked is when it wont turn on at all

Do you have a nandroid backup?

Have you taken the battery out and the power lead so it has no power?

i have had this problem

If you have a backup get it ready, Once you have let the phone power down totally (battery out and no lead) hold back and press power (keep holding back) this should get you into fastboot.if it doesnt unplug the lead and try again.

If thats successful.... using your nandroid files

FASTBOOT COMMANDS

fastboot erase system -w

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash userdata data.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Sorry if you cant get this to work i have to go out and wont be back to check till tomorrow so just giving you all the info
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] edugg:
I have tried many times to do this and nothing ever stays <waiting for device> and does nothing
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daihiep:
Phone is not bricked, so this shouldnt be a problem.

If you cant get into fastboot with current setups, then use another recovery image and a custom rom.

(all that stuff is on SD-card.. its not that hard)

Update SDK.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] frankiboy1:
Great! And how should the recovery image and custom rom be put into the Magic? Sledgehammer?

The problem that almost everyone seems to not understand is that it's impossible to access fastboot, adb or any other (known) means.

The magic will hang at the first splashscreen no matter which buttons are pushed during power up. If the track ball is pressed during power on, the led lights up blue (still hanging at first splash). All other combos of buttons during power on makes no difference at all.

I have tried keeping fastboot waiting while power cycling the device (as explained in another thread), but there are no reaction. I have tried in xp, vista and linux.

I have also tried with a gold card, but since the phone seems unable to get any further than the first splash, this will not work.

So unless someone has a _NEW_ method to actually enter fastboot/ADB mode, these devices are BRICKED!

People have been discussing what the criteria for calling a phone a brick, but as far as I have care my Magic can only function as a paper weight and can therefore be called bricked.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] htcmagic:
take out the sd card, put it in a usb adaptor and copy them over.

Also search for a thread "how i unbricked my phone"
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daihiep:
Think before answering.

Btw, question answered by htcmagic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] frankiboy1:
I repeat: The problem that almost everyone seems to not understand is that it's impossible to access fastboot, adb or any other (known) means.

Having a recovery image and a custom rom on the SD card is useless if you are not able to get the phone accessing those files.

I have tried the "how I unbricked my phone" method (like I wrote in my first post) without any success. If you read the whole "how I unbricked my phone" thread you can see that there are several guys that did not have success with this method.

I have done a lot of thinking.... and searching...

And they refused to repair it... I bought a new phone. But I keep the old one in case someone break his screen. Then I can get the mobo.

[General Questions and Answers] hilaireg:
Hi michael,

First off, welcome to XDA.

There's a lot of information and it can be quite overwhelming to try and absorb all of it at once.

To get you started:

Identify your device and Cellular service provider in your profile

Look for your device in the forum home page and subscribe to forums or specific threads for your device

Review the "Stickies" that appear at the top of the forums specific to your device

Take time to look at the XDA-Wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com); most folks forget about the WIKI

Searching; you can use the Google or vBulletin search systems. IMHO, both the systems need some "tuning up" ... so you'll need to exercise a bit of patience as they can be frustrating to use sometimes.

HTH,

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoff2005:
I have a few noob questions about rooting on cdma hero. these questions also might other people who are totally new to this. Please answer the questions in most basic english, thank you.

1. what can you do after you root the CDMA hero?

2. pertaining to 1st question, since CDMA hero sprint is somewhat different from original hero, after rooting can you do the same things on CDMA hero sprint has the other htc hero?

3. Is there something similar to installous and cydia on the hero/andorid?

4. getting the "free" apps from websites/torrents/or other means, will it work on cdma hero. to clarify the question, since most apps are listed as for dream and other andorid, will it work for CDMA hero?

5. when you dowloand the free apps how do you install it on to your phone (i know this question is prob answered on the forum but if someone wouldn't mind explaining it in a simple way then it would be appreciated.)

6. also the openhome or ahome i think, what is the difference to root and add themes then use one of those programs. assuming you download the program from the web.

7. what is difference between a rom and theme?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecodemonk:
1.) all sorts of things! (http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Why_Root)

2.) There are some differences but it's all the same for the most part (the main differences are what ROMs and Recovery Images you can use)

3.) There's no need for Cydia on the hero/android since you can install apps direct from the web or anywhere by default (just checkbox: Settings->Applications->Unknown Sources).

4.) You can download apps direct from the web just fine, see above. Some apps are coded specifically to take advantage of other models but they usually will say so...and if it doesn't work, you can just uninstall it from the app manager. :)

5.) When you download a free app, you just run it and it installs (If that doesn't work, you may need a file manager, I use Astro file manager from the market)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoff2005:
thanks for info!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thomas1218:
6 & 7. Themes change the look of your UI. They are not permanent things and can be removed at any time with no problem or messing with backups etc. Roms are what you need root for. Roms can fully change code inside of the phone and can extend functionality past what you can usually do ie(stock roms cant wifi tether but the custom rom can). Roms are harder to get rid of though and to go back to what it was before you have to restore your phone to a previous state. Its all up to what you think you need.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jrgolfpro:
I found an app somebody created that allows you to change the vibration patterns but other than that I haven't heard of anything...... I can't think of the name of the app anymore but I tried it and it didn't do anything..... pretty much gave you the ability to change the vibrating ringtone sound since the vibrator is as loud as the ringer itself when the volume isn't up.

I would hope there would be some way of changing the intensity myself as well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] d0ugie:

I'm guessing this works on the tp2 but it only lets you mess with vibration patterns on the phone ring, not other notifications. Don't know if it slows down answer/ring delay but the author says it has a small memory footprint.

I've been bouncing this around for a couple of weeks now and I can't seem to find a way of doing it.

I'm writing a desktop application that needs to be able to tell what storage space is available, the problem is as we know, some devices have internal space, some have SD cards, some have none.

I know I can test for the existance of the "Storage Card" and "Internal Storage" folders, but what I also need to know is how to find out how much space is free on them.

I need to be able to do this via RAPI, either from reading a registry entry, or getting some file system info.

At present I'm using OpenNETCF.Desktop.Communication, but if anyone has any better ideas I'd love to hear them.

Cheers

Here's some screen shots and the app.

To get it to work, just dial *28 813 200-0200 from your phone and it will switch your voicemail to fusion's service.

Sprint lifted the cost on conditional call forwarding or something. I'm on a Simply Everything plan. Not sure if it works with sero.

Hi,

Can you return to standard voice mail if you so desire? Also what is Fusion service?

Thanks
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] chronster:
I'm not sure how to return, but it might be as simple as*28 then your own number.

Basically, *28 enables call forwarding to whatever number you place after it in the dialer. When you click talk, it should beep or something then hang up on you.

I'll contact sprint and check up on how to revert back, but this also acts the same as your current voicemail, where you can dial in and listen to your messages.

hmmm I couldnt get it to work
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] dkaj:

Hi Rruffman,

Thx for the streams and logos.

I have setup my TP2 xml file like you suggest and it works very well. I have been unable to get any of the streams to work with Coreplayer so I continue to use wmp.

locale = en-us but still am unable to run most US streams. Do you have any idea what causes this annoying problem? For example when I try to stream from the following address "http://wwitv.com/stream/b5429.asx" wmp starts and I get the error "Cannot play the file. The file is either corrupted or the player does not support the format you are trying to play."

I did try Coreplayer but while it did start the player, nothing else happened.
