good news and bad news.

good news, im pretty damn sure thats not a brick as you can still get into fastboot (the vol down + power)((atleast thats what i think fastboot is))

bad news, i dunno how to fix it.

i know theres a way to revert to original stock ROM via fastboot, so im sure it is fixable. don't know about custom ROMs via fastboot.

bed time, though. good luck, man, and dont get bummed cause im 99% sure you aren't just plain ****ed.

edit: just noticed screenie, but can't see it because my girlfriends retarded wanna-be stepdad decides to look at pr0n all night and continues to install "mywebsearch" **** and i can't get to it. :/

Hopped on my mytouch, still think your good but let someone else who knows more vertify that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mbk.2k3:
another option

one other thing you can do,

go to a rogers store, and tell them you tried applying the so called essential upgrade 'b/c you care about your safety' and the '911 issue is a important fix'. tell them you recieved instructions to do w/e it is using the SD card method.

basically, you tried the update ---> phone got messed up.

i know someone else did it and it was grounds for them just giving you a new phone.

not saying 100% it'll work, but its worth it b/c you get a new device with the new ROM on it if it does.

goodluck.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dotster:
Can you clarify which SD card method? Was it using the official DREAIMG.nbh from Rogers?

I thought that I had bricked my phone because I went for a hail mary attempt to root my phone. But unfortunately it wouldn't get past the Rogers screen.

However, after talking to a CSR, they sent me a link to the Windows 7 file and it rewrote everything back onto my phone and I was able to boot it normally again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cdstewart:
@r3s-rt

Ya, thanks. I figured I wasn't completely boned. :P

@mbk.2k3

I thought about that but when I go home+end you can see I'm using amon ra, which would mean they know I rooted and therefore void my warranty

@dotster

This is the method,

Keep in mind this is magic and not dream

Thanks for the help guys.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] FoTwoZero:
I had the same problem while installing the new update yesterday. I had to call Rogers to guide me through it and even he couldn't figure it out. My phone just kept rebooting over and over after installing the first update. Even in recovery mode it didn't give me a chance to wipe, flash or restore anything because it would reboot in a matter of 2 seconds. The tech support guy on the phone had no idea what to do. I finally realised that I had a seperate Mini SDcard USB adapter that I could put my SDcard in and then plug into the USB. That allowed me to access my SDcard so I was able to delete the first SAPPIMG and then put the new SAPPIMG from the second update onto the SDcard. I repeated the same process from the first update (I was able to access fastboot without it rebooting), everything installed perfectly and now the phone is up and running great. If you don't have a Mini SDcard to USB adapter I'd suggest picking one up at your nearest Electronics store. I believe I picked mine up at BestBuy for $35 which came with a 4gb class 4 SDcard. The adapter is so small that it actually sits on my key-chain. Hope this helps.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Chynkinese:
if you're desperate it's worth a try. maybe it's just my personal experience with them but i have a feeling most of the rogers reps/techs wouldn't know/care enough.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cdstewart:
@FoTwoZero

Thanks that sounds just like mine.

I'll give it a shot.

Were you rooted before?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] FoTwoZero:
I was rooted before, this is why I'm sure I've had the same problem as many of you. It seems though that this issue doesn't just stop at us... This issue has been happening with many other carriers and I'm not sure why (as of yet). I've flashed dozens of other Sense ROM's and even ROM's without Sense for ei. Espresso and Eclair and they all worked fine before. This new Sense ROM from Rogers is fantastic. So try what I did and you should be on your way with no issues.

Now if only we can root this damn phone.:mad:

Rogers HTC Magic (32A)

HBoot - 1.76.0010

Radio - 6.35.10.18
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] FoTwoZero:
After the update your phone won't be rooted anymore, therefor your warranty will still be in effect. After flashing the first update it already changes your SPL and Radio therefor Rogers wouldn`t know if you were rooted prior to the update. If you stuck in the boot loop just follow my instructions and you will be home free.

Now if only we can root this damn phone.:mad:

@FoTwoZero

Just did what you did and I'm up and running!

Thanks

I think they did misname the updates though.

Because in the instructions given, and picture above correspond to the 2nd zip file.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] FoTwoZero:
Happy to hear that I could help. They did misname the files but how could you blame someone who goes by the name of Rogers. I have several services with them and it's nothing but headaches with them.

I'm sure it was a rushed update as well. The devs at HTC were probably pressed for time to get this update up and out the door within a couple of days. Rogers will possibly be a major distributor for them in the next upcoming years.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cdstewart:
Thanks a lot!

That solved it. :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gdayhtc:
do you mean that?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] alias_neo:
I was messing trying to figure out which is the correct method to close apps, back and home do the same thing, holding HOME (i just found out) brings up a list of recently used apps, but i can't figure a way to properly close them. I have Advanced Task Manager to close them now and again but I don't want to keep it running all the time.

Is there any proper way if the app doesn't provide an exit function?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] peterc10:
Because an app is on that list does not mean it is not closed. That list is just the history of the last 6 apps you used.

A lot of people say that you do not need to worry about whether or not an app is fully closed because the software manages that to ensure that it has enough free memory. I don't know enough to know whether that is correct or not.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] alias_neo:
Yes, sorry, the apps I'm referring to are shown by the Advanced Task Manager, I merely found the Recent list when trying to find a way to exit apps.

I sometimes have 15-20 apps in there filling up my RAM even on startup things like Shop Savy will be there twice and Photoshop.com.

They, amongst others don't seem to provide options to prevent them starting at boot so I simply uninstalled them, but all the running apps do severely affect the performance when it's filling up.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cool.breeze:
I have been experiencing the same problem.

Advanced Task Manager lists a whole load of apps that start on bootup and each one of those doesn't have an option to disable this.

After a while (about 3 hrs or so) of using my Hero I am down to about 40mb of RAM which if I don't use Advanced Task Manager to kill unused apps my Hero begins to lag big time.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] MercuryStar:
On the Android it is better to leave them resident in memory than stop them, unless they are 'background' processes and there is something wrong with them (a bug) making them slow down your phone.

Don't judge your Android on amount of free memory left; if anything, the the less memory left over the better as it means the memory is being used effectively to make it nice and speedy.

Processes aren't allowed to consume CPU cycles/consume battery/slow your phone down when they are not focused; the exception is background processes which need to keep going, like the music player etc. What's more, if an app is not focused then its state is preserved allowing your phone to free up its memory when needed; its memory effectively becomes 'cache' allowing it to restart quicker if it happens to have stayed in memory.

So don't worry about wiping an app from memory; for many apps there is simply no distinction between closing it and switching away from it; as soon as you switch away from it it's as good as closed; it's not slowing your phone down or taking up any memory that couldn't be freed instantly if needed, but if it is lucky enough to stay in memory it will re-open quicker.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] barryallott:
On my experience, if you press the back button to exit an app, then the app is closed properly, running the code in the app that will release the memory and objects. This is the best way.

The only app it will not work on is the browser as the back button will send you back through the history.

Try it...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] alias_neo:
I understand how and why this should be true, but for me it doesn't seem to be, if my memory falls to less than 40 the phone becomes increadibly unresponsive, I get crashes and have to wait forever for it to do things like open the phone. Immediately after killing all with advanced task manager it goes back to normal.

I have tried both methods, more often than not though, back doesn't seem to do much either, I have experimented with free RAM and using back or Home, it seems the Home certainly isn't the correct way to do it, but back doesn't work very often either, maybe people aren't coding their apps properly to respond to the back button as an exit method?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
this is the never ending discussion whether task manager make sense for android or not.

i'm one of those who say: definetly YES! USE TASKMANGER.

I understand that Android works in a way that taskmanager shouldnt be needed because it handles the tasks on its own, but sadly the concept just doesn't seem to work.

When my ram fills up i can cleary see that the device is getting slower, even just opening apps takes more than 5 seconds. After closing some apps the hero is fast again.

now i don't care whether ANDROID is the reason or some POORLY programmed background apps, because the outcome for me as a user is the same. I#m using advanced task manager and im very happy with it, whenever Android starts to slow down i close the open and unneeded apps, and everything is fast again...don't know how people can claim that Android does handle task management perfectly on its own.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] alias_neo:
The point is, Task manager of any kind is another 3rd party app taking up more memory, and quite frankly on such a high end phone i shouldn't have to worry about this problem. I noticed another thread about changing the values at which the internal task manager kills apps etc, if it becomes more of a problem i'll look into this method of fixing it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
yes, in theory we shouldn't worry about tasks in the background, but in reality as you said, the device WILL slow down. so there is no other way around than closing apps manually and defining apps to be kept alive by the 3rd party task manager.

changing values for the internal task manager sounds like something which would only work on a rooted device, but im not sure...

I have tried WkTask on WM 5.0 and I was pretty happy with it...

I have tried Magic Button in WM 6.5 and been not-that happy with it.

Later on I tried Duttys Task Manager on WM 6.5 (on my HTC HD2). The program is good but it still leaves programs open. For example, I close all programs with Duttys Task Manager and then I go to HTC HD2's Task Manager and I find ActiveSync running...

I am using the version posted on this Forum. Does anybody know that a better version of it has been released? Or, maybe there is a better Task Manager out there?

Thank you, all!

Check again if the hard spl is right.

No need to hard spl the device when you want to flash a new rom.

Hard spl is for one time and that's it.

If your radio version is 1.65.xx.xx ,you must downgrade it first to 1.59.xx.xx.

i fashed the radio 159.42.23 and then flashed one common rom without radio
[Touch Cruise General] kostas244:
Ohhh come on...Did you Hard spl your device with Olipro hard spl v2?? Good !!!

If the radio that you have right now is 1.65.xx.xx ,you never let you flash any other rom with included radio,until you downgrade first your radio to any 1.59.xx.xx.

So you must try first a new radio and after if everything goes well ,flash your original Htc's rom..
