HTC Magic Recovery Wont boot

as the title says the recovery wont boot using rom manager
it will either
1.) reboot loop 3 or 4 time before restarting or
2.) go to a screen with the android ad an exclamation mark in a triangle
i also can not manually boot it into recovery by holding home+ power
any advice is greatly appreciated
ps im a little noobie ish

press the HOME + POWER...
Once you on the "exclamation mark in a triangle" screen press the HOME + POWER key to get the recovery menu. As far I know this means something about the ROM signature not being there or something.. I'm just learning myself, but I have been there before... so you just need to restore the backup image and you should be back to normal. Good luck.
I'm unable to apply a custom ROM myself... everything works but a custom ROM... can't figure it out yet.

[Q] Please HELP.. dead DEFY (stuck at android text screen)

I had just rooted my phone, having it in good condition for the previous 2 days. Suddenly it got restarted today, keep flashing at the beginning "android" text screen, when try to boot into recovery mode, only c the tiny android guy with an exclamation mark there.. pls help.. i dunno wat has gone wrong...

What did you use to root your phone ?

with superoneclick..

Did you try use volume up & down in the same time to enter recovery menu ?

When you see the tiny android guy with an exclamation mark, press vol up & down together to get recovery menu, press vol up or down to move the menu selector, and press the power button to select an item.

I rooted with superoneclick and had Pays ROM running perfectly fine on my phone, I just lost my network connectivity. I applied the 3g fix through adb push and then phone got stuck on the "android" splash screen. I can boot into recovery, and use vol up and down to get in, but can't do much from there. I can also access the bootloader by pressing power and vol up at the same time, but Ii'm not sure what to do after that. Any help is appreciated!!
EDIT/RESOLUTION:
I was able to use RSD Lite to flash another sbf to the phone after pressing power and vol up to get into the boot loader. After that, re-rooted with superoneclick, and reapplied Pays ROM - still no network connectivity though, so if anyone has an idea to get that back please holler!! I'm on T-Mo US.

Same problem here .. no operator service...help..!

Just rooted, how to do I get to recovery ?

Brand new Note 2 tonight, I just rooted it. But silly me, how the heck do I get into recovery the first time ? Normally I'd have the power menu option, but not yet. I am confused how to restart into recovery.
I tried hold the power button + vol down key, nothing

first you have to install any custom recovery of note 2!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000138
just read this forum carefully and then install it coz a slight mistake can ruin your device!!!
after you have installed recovery, to go into it press these keys simultaneously
volume up± power button± home button!!!
you will get into recovery

Without a custom recovery you will only get to access the srock recovery which is no good if you want to install a custom rom or mod.

Recovery - As the phone is booting, hold down Vol Up, Home and Power. Once the Note 2 logo appears, release the Power button (or else it'll just power off again), but keep the other keys held down.

turn your phone off. press and hold volume up and volume down + power button (at the same time) then scroll with volume up till you see "recovery" press power button . wait untill u see an android logo, then press power + volume up . a menu will be shown. choose wipe data )by scrolling with volume) then hit power. choose wipe cache then power. choose reboot system now then power

Nexus firmware is not supported by kies you will never be able to connect it to kies . Just wipe cache from recovery don't wipe data.

[Q] HTC Desire start-up problem

Hi.
So, today I have met with start-up problem. During the normal using my phone, everything had been suspended, so I pulled out the batterry. And my phone hadn't been managed to start again. Only what I can see is the animation of evervol (I have had this kind of rom for about a year - old version of it :/ ). I tried booting by pressing dwn vol but, and power button in the same time...BUT... I know that I have the damaged vol button (only up vol but is working)... so it couldn't have worked anyway...
Do you have any ideas, how I can force on him to enter the boot menu or to start normally? From some kind of computer programme or what??
I really dont want to lose anythink from him... but if it will be necessary I would have no more objections against...

Press and hold back button + power and that will boot u into fastboot then u can get into recovery from there.
