Hi,
I'm new here and have a HTC Magic Vodafone-branded and in New Zealand. I've applied unlockr's dalroid rooted rom for 32B and the update went smoothly.
When rebooting however it freezes on logo and now the damn thing will not boot up (carrier logo, have let it sit there for several minutes, no luck). At this point the only thing i can do is hard power down the phone by pulling out the battery.
I did not format the sd card before doing this, nor did i do a factory reset. Was this supposed to happen? Or does it just take a very long time first boot?
I made a noob mistake of not backing up the existing rom. I did make a second mistake of not checking that factory roms aren't available for download for this phone here. So I'll have to flash to something else I can download. At least it's not totally bricked if I can get to recovery
I have not found any postings of NZ HTC Magic owners trying to root their phones yet, so I have a funny feeling our phones get bricked by this.
Anyone have any advice what I do from here? Has anyone had this problem? I would be graetful if someone could provide a stock vodafone 32B rom if they have one (google search unsucessful so far) or recomend a rom / provide a link (hero rom etc) that might boot up. I would guess the Australian Vodafone rom might work also.
thanks.
**update: phone now boots hero htc rom ok, still need to find a magic rom **
