I have a china android tablet, I haven't notice that the device is low battery, I format the device and during the format the device shut down (bec. it is low battery). Now the phone hangs, only ANDROID logo appears on the phone. Is there any way to update the device?

specs:

CPU: MARVELL PXA303 / XSCALE 624MHZ / DDR-RAM 128MB / NAND FLASH 256MB / 800X480 SCREEN RESOLUTION / GOOGLE ANDROID 1.5

The model is M5000 but I haven't seen any thread regarding the said model, can anyone help me please?

i built my own variant of android
using the recovery image method rather than fastboot.
in the sdcard there is update.zip which is the central point for android to recognize the recovery image.
i made changes to my system folder using eclipse residing in mydroid/out/target/product/generic/system (im assuming when u compile in eclipse it updates the changes to your system folder automatically), zipped the folder using the command sudo zip -r update.zip system META-INF radio.img boot.img,
and then signed it sudo java -jar /home/foo/Work/mydroid/out/host/linux-x86/framework/signapk.jar /home/foo/Work/mydroid/build/target/product/security/testkey.x509.pem /home/foo/Work/mydroid/build/target/product/security/testkey.pk8 /home/foo/Work/Bahar/update.zip /home/foo/Work/Bahar/signed-update.zip
when i right it to device in recovery mode i get verification error
am feeling tht problem lies with the update-script please help me

I think the hardware of the HTC Magic is different than the HTC Dream. This means that also other drivers are needed. But I don't have a HTC Magic to check out if you can create your own build for it.
