i told tmobile that i cant use the hardware keys to get in master reset menu. they sending me a 3rd one. but i had to pay for the shipping. i think its gona be the same model and i wont be able to get in master reset menu again..
what shall i do? if that's the case
All newer revisions are hardware lock.
No offense but how many people just read here that hardware locked vibrant's are bad and ask to get new one? Seriously? I just helped a buddy of mine with a hardware locked vibrant yesterday and it took just one extra step to mod his just like mine (which is normal). Just rooted via windows, flashed clockwork and you can boot into recovery from there, flash any roms you want. Now, granted, you have to be slightly more careful but if you make a mistake just get into download mode and flash with odin. Seriously, the hardware buttons just mean you can get into recovery if you get stuck at the vibrant screen, but if you really brick your phone, regardless of hardware lock, both types of phone are at the same level.
Seriously, 3 returns just to get this? By now you could have had your FIRST one modded to hell and back...
You may get lucky and get a Vibrant with the hardware keys working. I just got my vibrant replaced last week and the keys on the new one are operational. Even came with another external sd card.

Hi all!
Seriously in need of some expert help from your kind selves. Basically my phone is rooted with custom roms. I'm needing to try to get it back to normal as it has developed a hardware fault in the way that the volume key doesn't work, more so the down volume. Sometimes the up volume works when it feels like it. The camera itself has also been playing up and not working at times (not sure if this would be hardware related). As you can guess I'm wanting to get the phone repaired under warranty. The major headache comes when I need to get into the bootloader and I can't with the down button not working. Earlier I flashed a different kernel and when the phone went to reboot all hell broke loose. I'm currently stuck on the white screen with HTC logo. So without getting into the bootloader to try to recover I'm in serious bother! I tried this link and followed all the steps but in the end it just kept giving me an unknown error message
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890
I'm just trying to get the phone back up and running and then will take it from there to return it back to stock if possible. One thing I didn't try was the fact I have a 1.84 rom on and tried to flash with 1.72. May well try a 1.84 later on when I get the chance.
I hope you basically understand what I've done and what I'm trying to achieve and the problems I've got.
Thanks in advance if you can provide any solutions or ideas to try.
oooo boi thats gota hurt... but dont worry.. download "quickboot" from the market with it u can go to bootloader and cmw recovery .. about the rest.. i didnt get it.. u have 1.72 stock ruu and u want to get 1.84 ? why not just use 1.32 old rom and send it back repair guys ?
Find the downgrade thread in the Dev section, download the PD98IMG.zip from that thread. Put that on your SDcard.
Now you want to boot into bootloader which maybe difficult given your button predicament. I am sure there must be a fastboot/adb command to do this, possibly
fastboot reboot-bootloader
The bootloader should read and flash the PD98IMG.zip automatically, returning you to stock.
Hi mate. I had same problem my volume buttons don't work at all but i managed to flash latest recovery witch let's you scroll with home button don't no if this helps but try it
Thanks guys for trying to help. Leatherface I'm stuck on the white boot screen with htc logo and it won't go any further so can't get into market to download any apps. Or is the program you're talking about available for pc? I have custom roms on and not stock but want to put stock back on to send in for repair.
AndyHarney I will try your advice later but obviously as soon as I turn phone on it goes straight to the boot screen so I really can't see how I could get into the bootloader any other way but I may be wrong. Hopefully I am!!
Biggy I did flash with the latest CWM right before it went beserk but still no way of getting into bootloader.
I'm off for an Easter drink now to take my mind off it coz it's stressing me out and will return soon to butcher my phone a little more lol
Happy Easter
Of course, to use fastboot you need to be in fastboot in the bootloader.
Using the app Leather|Face mentioned, is there an option to boot into bootloader?
Anyways, enjoy your bank holiday.

as long as the rom ur using is not cynogenmod7... ur warranty isnt void my friend
did u try to re-flash a rom ? trying flashing a fresh rom.. full wipe ur phone before.. bellow in atttachment is full wipe.. download it extact it and put "full wipe 1.3" in ur sd card.. and put a rom there too.. then boot into recovery.. 1st do a full wipe.. then flash the rom.. see if that solves ur problem doode..
Edit : aaa crap.. i forgot u cant go into bootloader.. :|
Edit 2 : the guy 2 posts above said that u can use ur home key to navigate thro recovery... maybe u could use it for booting it to boot loader too.. donno lemme try if that can happen
Edit 3 : no that didnt work... btw abt 6 months back... on my samsung galaxy s... volume keys wudnt work so i couldnt get into recovery to get make to stock rom because i was using custom roms... i cudnt do anything and i was still under warrantly. so i perposly bricked ma phone to the extent that no matter wat u do with it, it wudnt switch on.. and i was sent a new one
If you are trying to get into bootloader another way worked for me but maybe not every. Body is to flash a new splash with android flasher then pull cable at correct moment when it boots into fastboot briefly. He'll it works for me LOL

thanks for letting me knw man... i cud use that if nothing else is possible lol
my down volume key does not work either, and i have had difficulty with this.
i have just tried to install a theme, and reboot and it was stuck on white htc screen.
plugged phone into computer, use adb reboot bootloader and load up recovery from there..
I flashed a full wipe zip by mistake and with no volume buttons i thought i was screwed but after two days trying i found i could only go back to stock 132 every thing else would fail?
For anyone who is in this predicament, if you can't or are unwilling to use adb, then if you download and install Droid Explorer, there is the option to boot into bootloader, flash other ROMs and loads more besides.
Nope... u just need. To. Root and eng s off and s off again...then ur back in business
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
like someone said before, you can access the phone with adb and forget about touching the controls on the actual phone, it can go into bootloader, and from there i guess you can reflash or recover your stock rom
adb is more simple than it sounds, it's just sort of like remote control via the computer
I've tried adb fastboot as suggested but all it says is <waiting for device>. I've tried plugging device in and turning it on both before and after entering this command but the phone just immediately goes to the white HTC screen. Also tried Droid Explorer as suggested but I can't even get that to install as it throws up an error message during install!! I'm not having a good time with this phone at the moment lol
If you downloaded the PD98IMG.zip from the downgrade thread, and download Quick Boot from the market.
Put the zip on your SDcard and use Quick Boot to get to the bootloader. From there is should be an automated process, and your phone will be restored to HTC stock.
I'm unable to get into the market to download anything since the phone doesn't boot
Ok I'm back in business. Just managed to flash a clean rom. Some nice chappy on another thread was also having the exact same problems as me and he managed to sort it out and helped me. The commands are ADB REBOOT RECOVERY or ADB REBOOT-BOOTLOADER. I was typing FASTBOOT REBOOT-BOOTLOADER as mentioned in an earlier post and wasn't getting anywhere.
However I'd like to thank you all for your efforts and now I should be able to return the phone to stock and get it shipped off for repair with peace of mind that they won't whinge that the warranty is null and void.

ROFLMAO !
Ok so found by mistake but will help ones with no sd slot to make goldcard
Ok so first dl. Superoneclick root then the auto rooter for 2.1 will let u know what its called later(ultra easy rooter)
Next 1a.open super1click and ulter easy rooter
2a.in super1click do the shell root
3a.the run ulter easy rooter,once finished u will be at the fastboot screen
4a.click fast boot to go to boot loader screen and then hit vol up to update"esrpimg" once that is done u will be back to 2.1.
5a.once the phone has loaded back up to 2.1 and root just go to recovery and load a rom
NOTE: put update.zip on root of sd so u can load cwm other wish u only get root
AND sry still no way to get soff....
HOPE that is better........for the pickie ones
That is by far the longest run on sentence ive ever seen. You should edit and complete your thoughts. As well as add info on to what your actually explaining. Such as a complete history of the problem. And links to the original related post.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA Premium App
Is this just another root method or will this also downgrade H-Boot, allowing someone to achieve S-Off after downgrading from 2.2 and H-Boot 1.0+
Your phone info in your sig says that your mytouch slide is S-Off'd. If it's true that you can achieve S-Off using this method, that would be huge news.
From what I have tryed alparev does not get soff when I did the downgrade all got changed buttbut the bootloader and the hboot will not allow me to get soff so so far no luck
the hoboot i have after downgrade is hboot 1.02.0000
now i dont know what the old hboot was so if anyone knows plz let me know so I can try to push it sum how
Thats sig is because I have muti slides so plz don't mistake it for what I'm posting now all this was tryed on new slide with 2.2.1
Has anyone ever tested this? I don't have a MT3GS anymore but this seems like a pretty awesome and pain free process to gain root.
I would also like to know if this works?
Yes it does work have done it muti times just to check and check YES it works.....
YES this surprisingly does work. The only problem I had was that the update file wasn't on my SD card so I continued to get a signature filed message when I tried to update. All I did was to copy the file from the mtg rooter fille over to my SD card and ran the update and it worked perfectly. I'm rooted and very happy!
Had to get my slide replaced and the new one came with 2.2.1. I used this method and it got me back to a rooted 2.1 state just like it says. Thanks for coming up with this one.
Really quick and easy! Thanks so much. Too bad T-Mobile is shipping these with 2.2.1 on them, no more S-Off...
Outstanding! Thanks for the tip. Worked flawlessly.
This would be awesome if there were links to where to download everything so someone doesn't download the wrong thing by mistake
important links
I agree with the last post ... links are critical here. This was the easiest rooting process I have ever encountered. Below are links left out by OP. Follow OP's instructions with these files and you'll be rooted quickly and painlessly.
super one click (v1.7 worked flawlessly for me)

This method should be the new rooting method for folks receiving replacement or new slides with 2.2. This should, IMO, be in development.
Thank god for this method. My phone up and died and the replacement came with 2.2.1. I tried a few other methods that failed. This one worked like a charm.
nice
wish i would have stopped back here would have saved me from having to downgrade, root, then upgrade back too 2.2 smh.... lol but nice to know yeah!!!!
Very helpful
I am going to try this method soon. Do we need anything else other than those two files to get our phones operational again? I want to try cm7 nightly, but want to make sure the phone would work before trying to put on another rom.

1. Download the 2 files in post #13/ thanks NJAZ (SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse.zip and mt3srooter.zip)
2. Extract them to their own folders on the desktop of your computer
3. Run the .exe files within each of the folders (open the programs SuperOneClick and mt3srooter--run as admin if using Vista or Win7)
4.In the Super1Click program, click "Shell Root", wait a moment til it does its thing
5.In the mt3gs rooter program, click on "Root Me"
It will tell you to turn on the wifi on your phone, and you must do it within 30 seconds, so hurry
6.Your phone will reboot into bootloader mode if all goes well. Use your volume buttons to navigate down to the fastboot option, and choose it with the power button. The phone will scan your sd card and find ESPRIMG.zip, and take a while checking the file. When it is finished checking the file, press the volume up button to confirm that you want to flash the file. Once it is finished flashing, you're rooted on stock 2.1 Eclair ROM.
I dont know if these programs put the update.zip for CWM onto your sd card too, I already had that and the ESPRIMG.zip on my card when I used this method, so if all else fails you, put a card into your phone with these files on the root of it into your phone and then use the 2 programs to gain root. Dont be afraid to try it a couple of times if it doesn't work the first time, and make sure that you have the correct drivers for your phone installed on your computer. To get into CWM Recovery to be able to flash custom ROMs, boot into bootloade by starting your phone and holding the vol-down button, and you will get a black screen with a red triangle. Then press power and vol-down and choose "Apply Update.zip" and in a moment you will be in CWM Recovery,as long as you have the file on the root of your sd card.
Just thought I'd spell it all out very detailed and simple for anybody less familiar with all this kind of stuff, makes for less "please explain step #...." posts.

Hey guys, a few days ago I finally decided to root my phone and flash cynagen mod 7...
However yesterday evening my touch screen suddenly stopped working, so I can't unlock my phone...
its still showing screen but its not responding when I press anything...
Things ive tried: removing battery for 20 sec, removing battery to turn off the phone and start it up again.
Is it possible to fix this?
or does anyone have the stock Vodafone firmware so I can try flashing it and return it for warranty?
Try reflashing the Rom from recovery again maybe that will help, I think I saw a thread on here about a fix for that problem a few months ago but not sure as I never needed it so didn't read it.

Btw even clockworldmod doesn't seem to respond to my buttons(the ones below the screen)
Only the physical buttons work...

ill give it a shot, by the way when I tried to flash with RUU it didn't detect my phone.
Also when I boot up my phone with charge cable it stops responding and only the red charging light will burn(even when the battery is full, because it did this for hours a few days ago)
Also in clockwork when I go to advanced and key test it doesn't do anything when I press a key, It doesn't show anything in the log.
So I think its really broken.
Update: reflashed with cyanogen didn't fix it
And when I try to flash with WUU it says my phone is not connected
ofc I can't access my usb settings on the phone...
The charging bug comes with clockwork, when the phone is off if you plug in the charger it happens so I always make sure to hit the power button first wait till the splash screen has gone and then plug it in, its annoying but just pop the battery out and then reboot the phone. There's a fix for that too but it didn't work for me.
As for the other problems I'm not sure as I've never come across them on my phone before, I would definitely try reflashing first before using an ruu. If that doesn't help hang fire till someone a bit smarter than me sees this.

Especialy by saying that last thing, one would think about a bad contact in the cable that connects your motherboard with your screen. I could be wrong, but I think the softkeys belong to the screen as well, so that would explane it. But I'm not sure about that last one.
You can try opening up your phone and see if the connection of the cable to the motherboard is still good. To open up the phone, you can folow the guide for the htc desire, it is said that they are alike.
Keep in mind that the bad connection can be IN that cable as well. So perhaps you have to look if you can buy a seperate cable somewhere (don'y know if that is possible).
I must stress out that I never opened this phone myself, so all the things I say here are based on what I've read on this forum. It just seems logic to me
One more thing: this all sounds risky. But since you are out of waranty, and since your phone doesn't work, I personally would give it a try.

I've changed the touchscreen on mine and can confirm the softkeys are attached to it, there's 2 separate cables though I think the one from the softkeys is only for the led's as mine broke, the buttons work fine but I have no lights behind them.

As you are looking for a ROM with hboot 1.02, I assume that before rooting you had the same hboot? Because then you must have gained root using AlphaRevX/Revolutionary, which installs a custom bootloader. This hboot can, to my knowleadge, not be downgraded to the original one. In other words: you have voided your waranty and there is no way to cover it up...

Damn, will they figure this out or is their a change they are just like oh yeah the screen is broken lets fix it?
As its clearly a hardware issue and not a software issue...
Other whys ill just fix it my self or go to a phone store...
update: I tried flashing SUU but it keeps giving me a message that my phone is not connected...
But the phone store told me rooting does not void my warranty as its a hardware issue and not a software issue.. they told me they could send it for me to a special company that repairs phones and is qualified by mayor factories like HTC,Samsung,etc.
But they also told me it would be easier to just contact Vodafone for repairs as that is free and if not I could always come back.
I'd send it back to Vodafone, best case they'll switch the touchscreen power it up for a quick test then send it back, worst case is they may check your software versions... then send it back unrepaired.
I used to fix iphones and ipads for an insurance company and hardly ever had enough time for checking software, just fix it, send it out and crack on with the next one!

I already re flashed cm7, and at first it didn't help then suddenly it did help and now its doing nothing all over again...
Update: re flashed again and still nothing.
AFAIK reflashing a custom rom from a custom recovery should not solve the issue.
But reflashing a stock ROM (= RUU) should solve that. Also reflashing a stock ota update will solve that. Ota update needs to be flashed from stock recovery. Do either of these things depending on what your hboot version is (if hboot is latest then ota will be option for most times) Also remember PC49IMG method if you presently have custom recovery.
P.S : what all I said is thinking that it is software issue. this shouldn't help if it is related to hardware.

I was wondering if there was a way to flash using that method, as I said I never needed to flash an ruu yet so don't know much about em. Just saw your other post explaining how to use PC49IMG to flash an ruu. Thought i'd copy it here as it may help.
bharatgaddameedi said:
If it still had the issue, then install the RUU by pc49img method. Download the correct ruu for your phone. Donot connect phone to PC. On windows PC click on start and type %temp% and enter. This opens the user temporary folder of your PC. Now run the ruu. Now if you observe the temp folder, there will be extra folders created which have folder name enclosed in {} brackets. Search in these folders for the file ROM.zip. Copy the ROM.zip to a safe location. Now format your memory card to fat32 (must) and put the ROM.zip to the root of memory card. You should use memory card reader. Then rename the ROM.zip to PC49IMG.ZIP . Then insert memory card in phone and reboot to hboot menu from where you can update/reflash the partitions. If still not working, clear storage again from hboot menu.

I was wondering if there was a way to flash using that method, as I said I never needed to flash an ruu yet so don't know much about em. Just saw your other post explaining how to use PC49IMG to flash an ruu. Thought i'd copy it here as it may help.

Did that and now its on stock Vodafone firmware
But the touch screen still isn't working.
Oh well now I can send it back to Vodafone for repairs.
Thanks for the help
Btw: is their anyway to get the original hboot back?
For maybe some more like me that want to go back to what it use to be with the hboot S-OFF, S-ON issue.
I had my phone S-OFF with alpharevx beta. Used CM7 -stable for couple days but decided i wanted to go back to all original. I first RUU my phone with the RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.2 4H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe file. Boot it up, made sured it runs, then did what is instructed below here;
To be able to do this you need HTC USB drivers installed. Install the HTC pakage, reboot, uninstall the HTC-
Sync software, keep the drivers! reboot PC again.
Power off your phone. Plug in your USB cable to phone. Press volume down and powerup your phone. After it
settle navigate down and choose fastboot option.
1. Unpack these files to your c:\fastboot
2. Open up your windows command promt (WinVista/7 users rightclick choose run as Administrator)
3. in command promt type CD\ then press enter
4. then your should be in C:\
5. type cd fastboot
6. then you should now be in dir C:\fastboot
7. Im bored to death typing, look below. Beware of each command ends with enter. After success, reboot.
C:\fastboot>fastboot oem mb 9C068490 1 30
... OKAY
C:\fastboot>fastboot flash hboot hboot_buzz_7225_1.01.0001.nb0
sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... OKAY
writing 'hboot'... OKAY
Files needed (Windows version): megaupload.com/?d=UO9L74I9
Works perfectly for me.
* NOTE: Im not responsible for your phone if you brick/kill it. These steps worked for me!
Hey guys so I am facing weird problems. I have searched through the forums either I cant find anything or I am too scared to do any more experiments I really dont want to loose my Razr M XT 907.
Problems
Laggy performance at times
Camera gets stuck when I take pictures at times then I have to restart.
when I reboot my phone it shows AP Fast boot screen, then I have to access boot menu and select the second last option (Console something). It always shows Null:Null and when I change it back the phone reboots normally
Phone hangs sometimes and then responds with everthing I have clicked all at once.
The screen on off button responds a second late
I think you guys can help me better if I tell you what I did to this phone exactly since I got this phone.
What I did
I initially bought this phone with defaul OS 4.0.1 in Pakistan.
I then installed a Verizon system update of 250 MB that got my phone stuck on a boot loop (and made me cry almost)
I restored my phone to the settings it came in using this procedure
http://www.andromods.com/tips-trick/how-to-restore-unroot-droid-razr-m-xt907-stock-original-firmware.html
The phone worked fine for 2 days but then I got that update prompt again and it got annoying so I though maybe If i upgrade it to JB using the same RSD Lite method but a different ROM that may solve it.
So I applied the above Procedure using this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250155
The method showed as Passed on RSD Lite but the phone got stuck on bootloop again so I paniced and tried restoring my phone abck to ICS using the method mention in the first link provided.
Then the phone got stuck on AP Boot Menu
Then I used DROID_RAZR_M_Utility_1.20 and used both methods 1 and two but it didnt work
Then out of the blue I went to the boot menu and I saw an option Switch Console (Null:null) I pressed up key on and null null changed to default:tty something it and the phone booted up just fine back to ICS
Now everytime I power off the phone it goes to AP Boot menu showing FASTBOOT REASON: Sticky bit factory_fastboot and I have to do the above to restart the phone.
What I need
Please help me restore my phone I dont want to brick it, I am a simple user I will need step by step guide
Anyone ?

I also have a solution, but you would need another phone...
But as cliMAKtic said, it's most likely way too late now. Same goes for your replies in other threads.

You can, but I'm afraid you won't. You'll rather achieve the opposite by bringing obsoleted threads back to the top.
