Hey.
I have just root'et my magic (not for the first time) and everything went according to plan, i uploaded the update-zip file to my sd card, and went in to the update menu (or what its called) and pressed apply update, and after the phone was updated, i pressed reboot.
And here starts the trouble: the phone just locks at the HTC Magic screen, its keeps showing that screen for a very long time, and nothing else happens, so i need some help to "wake up" my phone again.
I cant find my phone in SDK when i use the "adb devices" command.
If i try and use the [Home+Power on] command, i get a screen with a phone and a triangular sign with a "!" above the phone
Can anyone help me? what should i do?

Per
 
I'm having issues too: I accidentally flashed my phone with spl-signed.zip before applying the radio update; my phone now starts up to the initial boot screen, but won't go any further.

So far, I've tried pulling the battery for a few minutes, and booting whilst holding the Home button, but it stays stuck at that screen.

I'm a bit worried now; can anyone offer any other suggestions?

EDIT:- Actually, this is the Magic forum, I've got a Dream, sorry!

Yes, i can get to the recovery menu. or atleast that's what i think it is, its a screen with a picture of a phone and and trianguler "!" above


if you can get to the recovery screen i would suggest pulling your sd card out while power is off putting a known working build on the sd then power up to the recovery do an alt+w followed by alt+s when it finishes the install you should be good to go.....

well i would first try to get to fastboot by holding down camera+end when booting if you can get to that i can give you images to flash your phone back to life... if that does not work try booting holding down the volume down button + end and if that does not work i would say it is time to think about getting it exchanged or using your insurance on the phone if you have it........
