1.) Turn phone off ... remove battery .. WAIT for at least two minutes.

Now do ANOTHER Factory RESET ...
3.) Power off phone again ... battery out ... wait two minutes
4.) do a normal power on ...

Just to say that I had the same problem (accelerometer stopped working) and a factory reset did the job for me (
HTC Magic - How do I perform a factory reset?) and it's now working again.
I think the problem was installing a game that used the accelerometer, but was designed for the G1. Don't know why this would be the case, but clearly an installed app crashed the OS.
