FIRST AS USUAL, I DONT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DAMAGE YOU MAY DUE TO YOUR DEVICE HOWEVER LOW THE CHANCES ARE YOU STILL TAKE ALL THE BLAME FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE!

Read everything before going threw with it

This guide is 1.0 i will add pics in 2.0 and 3.0 will have a universal solution

NOTE: THIS IS FOR FENDER AND 1.5 HEAD JACKS TRY ON OTHER DEVICES IF YOU WANT IT SHOULD WORK

Im making this guide because it took me forever to figure out how to unbrick my clients device because of dead links old post etc. In this guide you will learn a few adb/flash commands how to make a gold card and most important how to get your phone back.

Step 1

Note: to get into

Recovery hold home then hold power

Hboot hold volume down then hold power

Fastboot hold back then power

normal boot power

if you cant get into these your skrewed:mad::eek::(:confused:

Note: if you leave fastboot running unattended for 10-30 min it will become unresponsive just take the battery out then reboot into fastboot

can you get into h boot

if so continue to 2.0

can you get into fast boot

if so continue to step 1.5

can you boot into recovery or normal boot

if not your skewed you most likely need a jtag heres a method best of luck to you

:confused::mad::(:eek:

Step 1.5

while in fastboot press down volume to get into hboot

continue to step 2.0

Step 2.0

Download these files

sappimg

custom recovery

Step 3.0

how to make a gold card

boot into h boot and flash that sappimg

Note: it will not work unless you've put in on your gold card and it will auto find it self

*If it tells you Error – Wrong Model ID or anything similar, the goldcard was not created correctly, go back to that procedure and try again.:mad:

after youre done and reboot you should not be able to boot correctly and your phone should say htc magic just uplug your battery and boot into fastbboot

dont panic:eek:your also most done

congrats you now have a engineering spl

:D

now get to downloading these

:p

CyanogenMod 6.1

google apps

new kernel

hboot

radio

Note: these next step are from DonJuan692006 just modified a bit

download the Custom Recovery Image and save it to the C:\AndroidSDK\Tools folder you setup during the ADB setup procedure as well:

Amon Ra’s Recovery

Step 4.0

now go here to download the correct boot for your phone before continuing

note: dont follow the unlockr this time

Step 5.0

Now that you have the recovery, spl, splash screen and radio all saved in the tools folder of the Android SDK (same folder as the adb program), plug in your phone (while in fastboot mode from step 3).

dont forget to rename the files properly are the fastboot commands wont work

name Amon Ra’s Recovery into recovery etc

Open the command prompt on your computer and type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:

cd\ AndroidSDK\tools

fastboot devices

A serial number should come up, indicating that your computer can see the phone in fastboot mode. If so continue by typing in the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:

fastboot flash splash1 splash.nb

fastboot flash radio radio.img

fastboot flash hboot hboot.nb0 (the 0 at the end of this line is a zero not an oh).

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Once the phone starts to turn back on begin holding home and power (do not let go until you see the recovery mode) to boot into recovery mode.

This could take a while. I believe the first time I tried to get in I had to hold them down for ~1 minute before getting in. You should see the HTC Magic splash screen pop up first. There is a guide to changing out the splash screen (which is just a picture) within these forums but I'll leave it to you guys to search for it.

You should end up in Amon Ra’s recovery mode.

At this point, you want to plug your ORIGINAL SD card into your computer and copy the "DCIM" and "Music" folders (if you have them) over to your computer to backup your pictures/video/music. Then take the Goldcard out of your phone and put your ORIGINAL SD back in.

With your phone connected via USB to your computer and in Amon Ra's Recovery, highlight USB MS and press the trackball. This should mount your SD card to your computer so that you can move files to it.

Cyanogen 6.1

Google Apps

614 MHz OC/UV Kernel

Note: You need the OC kernel because there's a known issue with CM 6.1 having a green tint without flashing a new kernel.

Copy those three files over to your phone's SD within Windows, "Safely remove hardware" in Windows, then disable USB MS by pressing the Home button. Back out to the main screen.

In the recovery select "Wipe" and you want to wipe "data/factory reset" then "Davik-cache".

Back out to the main menu and select "Flash zip from sdcard". First you want to select " update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip" and hit Home to confirm. Once complete, select "Flash zip from sdcard" and this time select "gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed.zip" and hit Home to confirm. Once complete, one again select "Flash zip from sdcard" and this time select "oc614-cm-2.6.34.1-6.0.0rc2-signed.zip" and hit Home to confirm.

Back at the main screen select "Reboot system now". This will load your phone back up as normal and you should now have a working rooted phone with the Cyanogen 6.1 ROM! Jump in there and check it out.

youve saved your phone
