Problems with MT4G after digitizer replacement

I picked up a MT4G for cheap with a badly cracked digitizer and decided to replace it. I'm not new to taking apart and fixing small electronics so I didn't feel like there should be any problem. I looked over the videos and info about taking apart this phone, and replaced the digitizer with no problem. The problem came when I booted the phone up. it boots into fastboot but when on none of the hard wear buttons work. I can also boot into Hboot by holding up and down while powering on the phone, but after the phone is turned on again none of the hare wear buttons work. Anyone have any suggestions???

either you broke your ribbon or your ribbon is not fully connected in check agian and try

Well it doesn't sound like you broke anything internally because you can boot into fast boot, you probably wiped the phone of software somehow tho, can you choose selections in fastboot menu by pressing the volume and power keys?

No. non of the buttons respond when the phone is on. The funny thing is the buttons respond during power up because I cab boot into Hboot. I'm going to take it apart again and have a good look to see if anything came loose.

Sounds like a strictly software issue, I'm pretty confident that if you can get adb access you can flash a rom through there. Can you mount the phone to your computer?
In the development section there's a guide for getting adb access, if you absolutely can't get the phone to respond than adb is your best bet.

Installed ADB onto my laptop and got it to see the mytouch 4g plugged in by showing the serial number. When I enter commands I get errors, I think the phone may be toast.

No way dude if it's recognizing it you're in the clear, if it gives you errors try to remount, you might want to get one of the developers on this since I'm not so technically proficient.but I do know that it's completely recoverable as of this point

Do you have any suggestions on who to contact?

Have you tried re-formating the phone?

Hey sort for such a late reply, hope you got it working, try contacting option 94 or any one from team royal.

Can't press Power button (hardware)

Hey
My power button seems to have failed on me. I press it but nothing happens and I leave the phone alone and it press itself. Something inside must have failed
Can I fix this myself? Not sure if I have a warranty on this phone anymore (never unscrewed but rooted and has CM running on it)

Hm can't say much. Did you drop it? Could there be dust and pocket lint in there preventing button movement?

Open your battery cover, does it say VOID?

Seems like delayed response. Not a dead power button. Check how much ram is left on ur phone.

Strange, I just had this happen to me the other day! It ended up being dust/lint...
hopefully that's all it is for you as well!

My power button is also acting up. When I hold it down while the phone is on nothing happens. When I pull the battery and put it back in it turns itself on. It is rooted running the Andromadus Alpha v5, previously running ILWT CM7 where it was doing the same thing but I didn't figure it out before flashing the ICS ROM. What would happen if I took it to a T-mobile store?

Happening exactly the same, button doesn't react completely and if i remove battery start up automatically. But i drowned the phone before so probably thats why...

Happened to me. I ended up just remapping my trackpad button to the power button.

How you did it?

I'd love to know that as well

My power button broke a little while ago so I just sent it in for a replacement. I unrooted first to be safe.

The symptoms sound to me like the power button is stuck down, either the plastic button itself or the actual switch contacts underneath it.

Seems like it has auto fixed itself...........for now.

I edited the curcial-oj.ko file or whatever. Changed the key binding to POWER instead of trackpad click.
You can use adb to pull/push the file from /system/usr/keylayout. Reboot after pushing
keep in mind this only affects the android os, so you still need to be able to turn on your phone without using the power button (can't use tp to power on phone)

Check SPL problems

Awesome guides! No doubt about that. I'm not a complete noob but I am new to the HD2 and I feel stupid bc I can't get past the first step I am frustrated cuz I have been looking all over for ways to check SPL my trio screen that everyone talks about is not coming up. Idk what to do. I've done the volume down with power button and also tried pressing the reset button in the back just to see if it works. I boot into Windows to make sure the volume down works and it does.
I have the tmobile version Leo 1024. Any suggestions.

Pull battery, press volume down and hold, push power and hold both. Tri color screen should be there.
Sent from my HD2 using xda premium

Like everyone says. Volume down + end key.
Hold the volume down until the tri-color screen shows up.
I know you've said that.. just make sure you continue to hold volume down
Maybe that will help.

thank you guys but idk why it is not working but i finally managed to get it to bootloader by trying to install hspl3 it automatically sent me to the bootloader screen. After it said "we hacked it" i rebooted and tried to see if it would work with the typical hardware button
voldwn + power button and then let go and it still does not work.? :/
ps . i let go of power button but kept holding the voldwn and still did not work.

You are completely turning off your phone and then doing this to power it up right?
Sent from my HD2 using xda premium

Yes and so I started following your guide to install clk since I know that I at least now have hspl3 installed and in the part where you task29 I followed instructions successfully flashed. Everything is going well until you say to reboot into boot loader mode by removing battery and voldwn + power. I try it hoping it would finally work and it doesn't.
Make story short my phone is stuck at the "stick together" screen. I tried getting into boot loader mode by running the hspl install program but bc is stuck on the screen comp is not able to recognize phone. Am I bricked?
Btw I pm you Kylew

Nice, real slick move,, you can't get into bootloader, yet you still decide to go ahead and wipe the OS, so now you have a non booting phone and no access to bootloader.
That's a handsome if totally useless lump of glass and plastic you have there!
JTAG, or sell for spares. (Well, after trying everything you can think of, but all I can think of is freezer trick, but its a loooooong shot. )

what is jtag and whats the freezer trick? is there any other way to get into bootloader mode maybe with sd?
Im willing to open the phone and remove or unplug a strip to completely erase any stored data and hope that it boots into bootloader?

SOLVED!! hope this helps someone else
i got it to work. My god there are soo many ppl with this phone soo many threads and post not sure if thats a good or bad thing lol anyways out of all the searching I found this guy to have had the same as me and he solved it. It was impossible for me to ever i mean EVER boot in to the trio color screen or bootloader what ever its called using the hardware buttons even tho the hardware buttons do work. I was able to get into bootloader when comp and phone sync and I used the hspl3 program to boot the phone when it was fully on the win mo stock.
Anyways I just followed this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10644926&postcount=4
I opened up my hd2 (unscrew and removed the back panel) and disconnected the connector flex rigid board (A board) of the hardware keypad from the mainboard….and pushed the battery in and pressed reset (sometime u need to plugin the usb cable to wall charged/pc to wake up the phone) and held volume down key and hopped for some miracle.
Viola saw the tricolor screen after eternity – since the back panel (not backcover) was open I help the battery to the pins and didn’t even move my fingers …run the stock rom installation and held the battery tight in place and waited to get the rom completed…the moment its 100% relaxed my fingers and reconnected the flexboard connector, re-assembled my phone and everything was back to normal.
I also used these pages for reference on parts:
http://www.ifixit.com/pdf/ifixit/guide_5919_en.pdf
http://pocketnow.com/hardware-1/official-htc-hd2-disassembly-assembly-training-videos-leaked
ps. no need to take the whole phone apart. I believe you are disconecting the AP FPC from main board which is connected to your hardware buttons if I am correct.
Edit: I want to give credit to kylew1212 for walking me through the rest of the installation of my android.

Interesting, good job.

i have a lot of sympathy for his viewson peace

[Q] GO Launcher Bricked my Droid X?

Here's the scenario...Stock Droid X, outside of manufacturers warranty, running GO Launcher EX. The phone was running sluggish so I went to change the live wallpaper to a picture in my gallery. As soon as I selected the, the phone instantly rebooted and would not go past the droid eye boot icon. I called customer service and they told me to pull the battery, replace it, then power up holding home, volume down and power. This gets me to the android guy with the exclamation mark in a triangle. But there are no boot options.
Since bluetooth was enabled on the phone, when I get in my car I can still make and receive calls. So it's like it's fully booting up, but I never get the unlock screen. When I place a call using my car's phone controls, the call screen comes up on the phone, then I get a message about GO Launcher has stopped responding, do you want to close, wait, send error report. I've tried close and wait and neither seem to get me to any other screens.
The phone is completely stock. I haven't rooted, or changed the bootloader or anything like that. I tried searching for suggestions but all I could find were instructions for people who already installed clockwork recovery. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. I would be happy even to be able to perform a factory reset, just as long as I can use the phone again. Thanks!
Additional Info: I am able to boot it up and connect to my PC and see the folders on the phone if that helps anything. I tried going to market.android.com and installed adw launcher to the phone hoping that would help anything but I'm still stuck. When I rebooted with the phone connect to my PC I can see the lock screen now, but the screen doesn't respond to my touch when I try to unlock the slider. Again none of the buttons seem to function.

Grab RSD LITE & the proper sbf file and reflash your firmware.

Get back to that screen with the Android guy and the exclamation mark, then press both volume buttons. From there you can navigatecand factory reset the phone via a data wipe. Navigate with the volume buttons and select with the power button.

Thanks so much infazzdar, I was able to factory reset the phone using your tip! It's unfortunate the Vz tech got me to the triangle and exclamation mark but didn't know to press both volume buttons to pull up the recovery options.
vabeachfc3s thanks for your response too, appreciate the help.

Dont forget to push that thanks button good sir

MyTouch Q bricked

First of all I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section. I can't for the life of me find a section specifically for the myTouch Q so i usually just go ahead to the glacier thread.
But My phone is bricked. It loads the LG and myTouch Screen, then goes to the lock screen (draw pattern) But i cant touch the screen at all. The background is black, and its a matter of minutes before shutting off again and repeating the cycle.
I know that going into bootloader will solve my problem but the phone has no physical buttons. So I cant hit any buttons for a factory reset. I checked all over the internet but cant find any good info on the Q and its touch bottons.

Sorry buddy, but your right , this is the wrong forum. Are you sure there is no hard way to get into the bootloader ?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA

I have no idea. I can't use the phone at all since I cant do anything at lock screen. I was thinking that there would be another way for bootloader maybe by usb or a software but nothing.

What do you mean? does the Q not ship with physical buttons? I doubt that, but I havnt looked at the phone much. Or do you mean ur physical buttons are broken?
IF they are broken u are most likely out of luck, unless u can hold down the power button for that menu to pop up. then u can press reboot and press bootloader or recovery. That is, IF the rom supports it.
also u never stated if the phone was rooted and had a custom rom. that would make a huge help

The phone has pressure sensitive buttons unlike the MY4G. So the Menu, Power, Volume factory reset is i think not usable
It's rooted but doesnt have a custom rom. I am using another launcher though if that helps

never mind I found out. It's a little different for this phone
cant provide url to page but thanks

Just when I got interested, he bailed! The suspense is gonna make me Google it myself!
