1: We need a LOT more information than that to help. What did you try? What actually happened?

2: Note that it can be considered rude if you go on a forum asking for help and expect people helping you to go out of their way by posting to an email address or in chat instead of posting on the forums. In short, rude words: if you cant be bothered to check up on the forums yourself, then why should people bother to help you?

It is VERY rare for a bootloader chip to be fried from just a ROM upgrade. ROM upgrades aren't supposed to even touch the chip or its contents.

Try holding Power + Camera + Soft Reset buttons and see if you can get into the bootloader again. If it still boots into the bootloader (ie. You see 'Serial' and 'v1.xx' somewhere on the screen) then your bootloader is not dead, and you're probably being scammed by whoever told you it was dead. If it does get into bootloader then you should be able to revive the thing with an SD card flash, though it might be a bit difficult.

If it doesn't get into bootloader though, then you might be in trouble. Either way, post back here and I'll try to help in what ways I can.

But does it get into bootloader mode? If it doesn't then you can't reflash it. If it does, try step 2d in this guide first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=273911

And sorry, but the SD card flash method needs you to have a working Magician... so I don't think that method can be done.

Calm down! I am trying to help you!

I don't understand you. Can you get into bootloader mode as I described? If it does, try the method I posted above!

You cannot update the bootloader on a Magician as of now. If your bootloader doesnt work, then you will probably need a new chip.
