[Q] Quick rooting question (help) - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I already have all the files needed to do the rooting process.
When i am typing the
"su
cd /sdcard/root
sh root.sh"
it finishes then i power off the phone and i hold the volume down and power button and it doesnt boot into the hboot screen. It will only boot into the screen if i take my battery out. But if i take my battery out it says S-ON. Any help on how to get into the hboot screen when i power off my phone would be great!

Turn the phone off. Hold down the down volume button, then hold down the power at same time. Keep holding down till hboot screen is up

[Q] Help! Cant get my phone into recovery mode

Ive tried the volume down and volume and power but it wont work.... Any suggestions?
You are sure your phone is off and you:
Hold down the volume up and down with your left thumb and make sure there is a click feeling from both buttons and use your right hand to click on the power button?
I'm having the exact same problem. Have tried about 25 times to boot into recovery. Just does not work.
Pull the battery after every failed attempt took me about 2-3 tries. Before you do anything shut off phone pull battery then attempt to boot into recovery.
Yes, I'm doing that. The samsung screen comes up and if I release the buttons it does the normal boot up. If I keep holding the buttons the black screen with "vibrant" keeps coming on and off.
So far I discovered that it works perfectly if you hold the power button until after the Vibrant logo appears and then release the power button while still holding the both volume buttons. If you release the power button before the logo appears it will FAIL.
Only after the logo dissapears you can release the volume buttons.
In other words:
1-Press and hold both Volume buttons
2-Press and hold Power button
3-After Vibrant logo appears release Power button
4-Wait until Vibrant logo dissapears and then release Volume bottons
5-You should now be in recovery
Pito
Wow, I followed your directions step by step and still no luck! I wait till I the Vibrant logo to dissapear to release the volume buttons but it just boots up like normal. Thanks anyways! Is there another way of rooting my phone?
What I do as well is hold until the first logo dissapears and as soon as the second one appears release buttons. Then its in recovery.
Ive tried everything you all have said so far and I still cant get my phone into recovery mode. I was able to do it on my wife's vibrant but not on mine. Any suggestions?
Try getting quick boot from the market. It had an option to reboot into recovery. If your problem is just getting the button push right (i had real trouble with it at first) then this should work.

Recovery: Clockwork 2.5.0.4
If you are rooted then Clockwork Recovery Mod has the ability to boot into recovery mode. Or you can turn on usb debugging and use adb. Start>Run>cmd and use "adb reboot recovery"

Help needed.....Galaxy Tab always restart

Help......my Tab is having problem....it always restart....i cannot reset the factory data .Is that anyway to take out the battery to reset all data?anyone try b4???
Closed.................
how you resolve it?
can you share it?
i have same issue too
Start with your tab turned off. Then it's either, Hold Volume Up + Power Button at the same time or it's hold Volume Down + Power Button at the same time. One will boot you into fastboot, the other way will boot you into the stock recovery. You want recovery. You will know its right cause you will see an upside down triangle. Then hit i think it was search button or one of the volume buttons to get a menu to pop up. Highlight factory reset and hit the power button. If you boot into fastboot mode and not recovery, the screen will be black and will say please load OS or whatever. Just hold down power button to power off and try the other way.
Bear with me if directions are a little off. Gave my wife my tab months ago so I haven't had to do that in awhile

time line needed

Power off the phone and reboot into the bootloader by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen.
It should check the PC36IMG.zip and then ask you YES/NO to apply the update. Press VOL UP for YES
Once complete, Press VOL UP to reboot.
You are now unrooted!
ok i know all this but i cant see can someone give me a time line when it says update

This doesn't unroot your phone. This is the method to flash amon ra recovery.

O may be wrong buy I think a ruu runs just like a splash or recovery via pc36img.zip

Yes you can use the ruu with the most recent update which will remove root. But it will not set you as S-Off.
Are you looking to turn S-On?

Stuck in Hboot with frozen keys

i recently rebooted my Vodaphone AU and was presented with a hboot menu. i have tried to navigate up and down this menu but the screen is frozen so cannot select any of the options. i turned my phone off by removing battery as power button was also inactive. i then powered back up and straight to hboot screen again, again all buttons inactive so cannot navigate up and down or select. removed battery and sd card then tried again, this time holding down volume button whilst powering up. still i have no joy, phone will not let me navigate or selct in boot menu and everytime i power down and up it is the same scenario. this is the message i have above boot menu.

Please can you give advice how to fix this.
Try going into adb and see if you can reboot from there, not to sure.what to can do really

Unfortunately it sounds like a hardware issue. Could be simply that the volume rocker is stuck or it has to be replaced.
Adb doesn't work in boot but fast boot does.
On my mothers old phone it would do the same and only way I could get it to boot was to run
Fastboot reboot
So you can try that but I would try carefully moving to volume rocker and see if stuck

Ulltra stock in HTC powered by android or in this screen

Hi i my htc u11 ultra dual sim is stock, it is rebooting or get stuck what can i do to recover phone
when i turn it on it doesnt pass the screen saying HTC powered by android then restart, if i press volume down and power it gets to a screen but if i choose reboot to bootloader reboots to same screen, if i choose boot to recovery or to download modes it reboots but gets to HTC screen and then reboots.
What can i do to recover my phone, how can i install a rom, so it works again.
HTC ocedug1. s-on radio 2.0.001.0051 OS-2.19.400.1
I being trying to use fastboot but computer doesnt read phone.
Please help is urgent to recover my phone
Can you try boot to download mode (Press volume down when turn on your phone)
It reboots on htc powered by android screen, never pass that screen. and i only enter to bootloader menu direct when pressing volume key and power, i dont have a menu before, and there is i press the download mode or recovery mode phone restarts gets to HTC screen and reboots.
I try using the adb commands but i connect the phone to my laptop, it is shown in devices as android device my htc, but the adb devices never recognize it. So i cant to anything there. I was thinking of using XTC2Clip(no sure if that helps and how it works), but i cant affort to buy that and not work. So any recomendations on what else i can do i will appreciate.
in bootloader screen i have sotftware status official, locked s-on production.. and actually to get to that screen i need to press volumen keys up and down and power for awhile to get there, if i only press volumen down and power when it gets th HTC screen it reboots.
Thanks
