I hope I'm posting this in the right section >___< , just wanted to know if anyone knew why my screen gets stuck on the boot screen everytime I reboot into recovery (using rom manager btw). I've flashed clockwork a couple of time and waited for awhile. Maybe I didn't wait long enough...
Well.. no. This isn't the right section. Sorry. You should post this question in your device's General section.
I knew it *sighs*

Hi,
I have this brand new Mytouch 4g black, used it for a couple of days and did a factory reset. It booted up fine after that. We were out of town a couple of days during which I powered off the phone.
When we came back try to power up, the phone got stuck at the hboot screen(with geen, red letters), I did factory reset like 10 times and still stuck in the same screen and not booting up. Can anyone help me what's going on with my phone. Is this a software issue or a something wrong with the phone?
thanks in advance,
TZ
Please post questions in Q&A section
Isn't this the Q&A section?
Did you root you phone? If so, then you need to do a complete wipe through recovery.
If you're stock - go back to the store you bought it from and have them replace the device, something is borked.
Hi,
Here's my situation. I have bought this phone outside T-Mobile and so they have disagreed to give me an exchange. The only options I have now is to either figure out myself if the phone can be somehow fixed or sell the phone for parts on ebay. This was running on stock(unrooted) and was working fine before this happened.
Here's the screen shot of phone where it's getting stuck, can anyone advice me if this can be reflashed?

No matter what option I select and click, it's coming back to the same screen and getting stuck.
Thanks for all of your suggestions,
TZ
I'm taking a stab in the dark here, but maybe your volume down button is stuck?
and its sending the phone into hboot every time?
Nope I've checked that, the volume buttons are good. Also when I hooked the USb cable to computer(windows 7), the Windows is recognizing it and installed the HTC boot loader. Can reflashing with stock kernel helps? If so, how to do that?
Maybe try flashing one of the roms in the dev section?

Not going to fly, S-ON here. I still think it may be the volume button though. Did you try running
Code:
fastboot reboot
See what that does.
Can you tell me if that command works on windows 7 from command prompt? Do I need to have android sdk installed or any other soiftware?

Yes, you need adb installed with fastboot binary.
You need to read THIS guide.

The thread originates in another section. They are just kind enough to move it quickly to the correct section.
As far to the best of my knowledge, I have posed the question in Q&A section to start with.

I did try the "flashboot reboot" command and the phone rebooted and came back to the same screen.
thanks.
Is there anyway he can get a boot log? to see why it goes into hboot?
Also it is recognizing my sd card...is there any way that I can flash a rom from sd card? Another thing to confess that before it goes into limbo mode, I've noticed some moisture around the phone.
I bought my phone off craigslist and TMO has already exchanged it once. Trying calling and getting a different rep. The phone has a 1 year warranty. Try calling HTC also.
Thanks for your suggestion, I've tried with the T-Mobile folks and gave up. The only problem is that I am currently not a customer of T-Mobile!
Ah well that makes a difference. You might try HTC.
I posted this in the wrong section so AGAIN I'm just going to copy and paste what I posted on another thread.

plus one+! just saved me (again)
So I got a htc mytouch 4g And it has that phone icon with a triangle and exclamtion mark. I dont know anything about this phone since I have a att captivate From what I read is that if you have recovery you might be able to do it.
Also when I plug in the usb I go into recover and I Get a fasboot screen and other sorts of menus i have put a pd15img.zip in my external sd card and it loads installs It I guess but still boots into the same Icon.
from what I also read is that you can fix this by loading a stock rom pushing into your sdcard via adb but make sure is name update.zip but when I do that I get Invalid Operation.
when in recovery I have this message E:cant't open /cache/recovery/command also phone boots right into that icon.
I assume this is a soft brick since I get into recover and the other fasboot menu when I plug in USB any help is appreciated
This is my first time with a phone like this so I'm doing what I would normaly do with a captivate ish
I'm sorry for posting in wrong section. Cant fine the Delete option mods delete if possible I posted in QA
Wrong place ro poat your question. Post in Q&A please.
Indeed, wrong section, but we can wrap this up quickly. Unfortunately, that's not a soft brick, but a hard brick. Those cache errors in recovery indicate that you have a bad eMMC chip. No one has yet been able to recover the device once the eMMC goes.
It's indeed not a Development thread whatsoever, but I've answered you in the correct thread. Since you have triangle icon with exclamation mark, as people here didn't put attention, you're in the stock recovery, and eMMC failures most likely don't apply, it's a "normal" error.

When I originally responded to this thread, the OP had not yet posted his screenshot in the other thread, so I didn't know the phone was not rooted and that the cache errors were occurring in stock recovery, not ClockworkMod.
No offense meant whatsoever, my apologies if it sounded something I didn't mean. If I didn't start reading with the other thread - I probably wouldn't put attention to that detail either.
So does this mean i have a chance to fix my 400 buck brick

No, not at all. I was just explaining what I said so I didn't sound like a dummy. My first response only made sense if the phone was rooted, but I didn't find out until later that it was stock.
Okay, before you say I should search around note that I have 8 tabs open finding out one question to no success and I have also searched XDA continuously, this is my last resort as I like learning myself but I guess I gotta ask.
Some info, I flashed using Towelroot (I think it's stupid that I did as it was easy and I should really learn the ropes of rooting etc. but oh well, it's done) and I checked whether it worked with Root Checker and yeah it confirmed.
Downloaded ROM Manager
Went to Recovery Setup and since I haven't got any recovery apart from stock
Went to Install and confirmed phone model (Okay, this part I was confused on as it just came up with "jflte" but I pressed it anyway)
And then "Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery"
It finished 100/100 and from the app I went to Reboot into Recovery, it rebooted but came with the stock recovery and not like the blue CWM with additional options.
I have a Samsung S4-I9505.
Any more info just asked and sorry if I asked in the wrong section or a stupid one, thanks anyway!
