We present new thermal equilibrium solutions for optically thin and thick disks incorporating magnetic fields. The purpose of this paper is to explain the bright hard state and the bright/slow transition observed in the rising phases of outbursts in BHCs. On the basis of the results of 3D MHD simulations, we assume that magnetic fields inside the disk are turbulent and dominated by the azimuthal component and that the azimuthally averaged Maxwell stress is proportional to the total pressure. We prescribe the magnetic flux advection rate to determine the azimuthal magnetic flux at a given radius. We find magnetically supported, thermally stable solutions for both optically thin and thick disks, in which the heating enhanced by the strong magnetic field balances the radiative cooling. The temperature in a low-$beta$ disk is lower than that in an ADAF/RIAF but higher than that in a standard disk. We also study the radial dependence of the thermal equilibrium solutions. The optically thin, low-$beta$ branch extends to $ dot M gtrsim 0.1 {dot M}_{rm Edd}$, in which the temperature anti-correlates with the mass accretion rate. Thus optically thin low-$beta$ disks can explain the bright hard state. Optically thick, low-$beta$ disks have the radial dependence of the effective temperature $T_{rm eff} propto varpi^{-3/4}$. Such disks will be observed as staying in a high/soft state. Furthermore, limit cycle oscillations between an optically thick low-$beta$ disk and a slim disk will occur because the optically thick low-$beta$ branch intersects with the radiation pressure dominated standard disk branch. These limit cycle oscillations will show a smaller luminosity variation than that between a standard disk and a slim disk.
