Now, I was wondering if there was a way to flash a splash screen on the Epic (splash screen being the screen that comes on before your rom's bootscreen, aka the samsumg screen). On the Hero, you booted into Fastboot and ran ./fastboot flash splash1 splash.rgb565... but to my understanding, the Epic doesn't have fastboot. Please help!
Bump. Really want an answer to this!
Bump again.....
The kernel you are running has to have the option. I don't know which ones do/nt since I haven't kept up near as well with the devlopment of this phone as I did with the hero...I think I am getting to old for this ****. -_-

I don't know what I did when I was trying to install the orginal rom but, now my phone just shows the mytouch 4g picture, then it goes black and the same picture appears again, while the phone is vibrating. I am able to get into hboot but none of the options work. I upgraded the firmware with clockwork and unrooted the device. Is there a way to unbrick, or is the device just a brick?
Any help I would be thankful toward,
Luke
This may seem trivial, but it was not mentioned and therefore I am asking. Can you get into recovery?

No I can't get into recovery its locks up and stays on t mobile mytouch 4g screen. That is after i select recovery.
Good news is its not bricked. You're just hitting a snag on boot. Have you tried fastboot or hboot?
RIP Cotton Eye Jim
When I try the fast boot method it brings up bootloader i selct it and it takes me back to the main screen, at that point I try recovery again and the device show t-mobile mytouch 4g for a second then goes black and goes back to the screen and vibrates and repeats the same thing over and over.

You don't choose bootloader in fastboot. All commands need to be run from your machine.

It does not even show the device in adb. I have install the driver for hboot usb plug, but maybe I got the wrong driver. Do you have a link to download that so I can try to reinstall driver, or is the unit bricked? Or how do I fastboot with the unit not loading to android, but its on hboot screen with usb cable attached. Is there a way to do that?
Press and hold the back button while booting to get into fastboot mode. Then download the clockworkmod recovery img and flash it through fastboot. You can find more detailed instructions in the thread where you download clockworkmod. This will enable you to enter recovery and flash a new rom.
When I followed those steps, fastboot in red came up and it gave me choice of bootloader reboot reboot bootloader and powerdown, it does not load, I have tried the bootloader, it goes to the main screen.
Was being dumb needed to hit restart it boots, thank you I will be reading on clockworks. I a noob as you can tell.
I reinstalled clockworks but now I cant get the hboot up by holding the volume down and power key. Any suggestions?
Volume down+power does nothing?
RIP Cotton Eye Jim
Got it working just wasnt holding it long enough I need to be more patience lol
Lol, I had the same problem the mt4g when I first got it. Very different from the mt3g. For future reference, as long as you get fastboot to come up, or at least get adb to recognize the phone, its not bricked. I actually bricked a mt3g 1.2, and when they're dead they're DEAD. Nothing works except an led notification.

I'm glad you got help but this is the wrong section to be asking questions. Go to the Q&A next time.

Please post questions in Q&A section.
alright so i can tell you guys the whole story or just get down to the point, i bricked my mytouch 3g.
how?
i pulled the battery while a radio was installing because i thought the phone froze. bad move on my part, but the phone wont boot into recovery etc.
does the phone boot?
tyes, but he only thing that happens is it boots and gets stuck at the splash screen.
i really need a fix if possible. i searched a lot of threads and nothing seemed to help, just people getting replacements . that isn't an option for me so help would be greatly appreciated i really need to use my phone.
thanks guys !
Can get into fastboot... even if on the screen... can you connect to it from fastboot command?
E.g. fastboot devices

How would I do that
soz I am new to this stuff so I need help
Long story. Sorry up front. Flashed Salsa Sense Lite ROM the other night. Once it booted up I proceeded to install some of the add ons. Rebooted and got caught in a boot loop at the white HTC screen. Pulled battery, rebooted, same thing.
Then proceed to find a bunch of HEROIMG.zip files to see if I could flash in bootloader. No go. Then tried a few RUUs. Same thing. Boot loop on white HTC screen.
Do I have a brick on my hands now?? Also confused as to why there is no recovery option in the bootloader?
Thanks guys.
What happens when you pull battery then insert it with power and home buttons pressed ?
What made you sure it was a bootloop?

I didn't know that trick! Thanks a million. Got into recovery and flashed Salsa again.
JieeHD, the HTC white screen kept flashing. Maybe I didn't use the correct terminology? Anyway, thanks a bunch for your ROM and your hard work in this community.
Was having issues with my Nexus 7(2013) this morning, rebooted the device and now it gets stuck at the "Google" loading screen.
I can get into the Fastboot loader. I was able to unlock the bootloader.. I have LOCK STATE - unlocked and the unlocked lock showing up on the "Google" boot screen.
I am UNABLE to get into Recovery mode.. either by selecting "Recovery mode" in Fastboot or holding the power and vol up buttons. It just sits on the "Google" boot screen.
I have downloaded and installed the SkipSoft Android Toolkit(mskip).. very nice toolkit BTW. But no matter what I do I'm unable to start the tablet up normally or get into a Recovery mode of any kind.
I have tried to flash TWRP. I have tried to flash the stock ROM. Nothing, still sits at the Google boot screen. Since flashing the stock ROM its been 30 min and still just says "Google".
I'm open to any ideas or anything that you can think of.
Still have TWRP and fastboot access? If so, use the command line fastboot the img using
"fastboot boot <filename>.img"
Reply back; do you get to recovery?

No.. I do not get into recovery of any kind. Stock or TWRP after loading it.. just sits at the Google screen.
Quick question; what were your partition setups like? F2fs? Ext4?

No idea.. it should be whatever it is stock. Before today I never rooted, flashed or did anything to this device.

Answers all of my questions. I know myself I won't be able to help. All I can say is to try relocking and then unlocking again.

What that should do is wipe internal, could have some corruption there. Try doing the command line fastboot of the recovery.img again. Those are the only few things I can think of short from exercising your warranty.

Dont think I can use the warranty.. bought it used(1 hour old) from a friend for $100.. he got it and then decided he didnt like the aspect ratio. His loss, my gain. Until now.. lol
I'll keep hacking at it.. thanks again.
Anytime! You're welcome!
So the original issue I was having was that the screen was not responding to touches. Was unable to slide the unlock button on the screen.
I was able to "Boot to Custom/Stock Recovery without Permanently Flashing it" via SkipSoft Toolkit.. and had TWRP load up. But like before it was not responding to touches.
Starting to think this thing is totally borked.. =/
I'm able to get into TWRP now.. but sits on boot animation screen now. one step forward. Going to try and reload the stock ROM again and see if that helps.
That seemed to work.. at the Welcome screen.
So if anyone else runs into something like this..
Issues:
Flakey touch screen
Stuck on Google bootup screen
Eventually stuck boot loop animation
Get SkipSoft Android Toolkit, donate a couple bucks and keep flashing anything and everything you can. Sorry I can't give you a specific order that works. I would say try the 'ALLINONE'(#8) option first and then download and flash the stock ROM. I did several things in the toolkit a few times over and over. Hopefully I'm good now, if not I will update.
Have you tried reflashing recovery via fastboot?
Exact thing happend to my n4.
