I recently found my old mytouch and turn it on and I do not remember my old unlock pattern. So I go into recovery which is the stock recovery to do a data/factory wipe and notice that my trackball will scroll to the option but it will not let me select it. I tried everything including pulling the battery and still no luck. Is there a solution to my problem please help!
I have the same problem. Can anyone think of a possible solution?? Please help!
You can't just hold the home button while the phone is booting to get into recovery?

Home + End. But once in recovery, I can scroll through the options but it will not let me select any of the options. The selection function of the trackball works flawlessly when the phone is booted up, but will not work in recovery.

[Q] I can't pass through "ClockMod Recovery". I am stuck, PLEASE HELP, I NEED YOU
HELLO ALL,
I USED THIS LINK http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996
TO ROOT MY MY TOUCH 4G PHONE AND IT WORKED FINE UNTIL I ATTEMPT TO INSTALL OVERCLOCKING SOFTWARE FROM>>>
http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/14/ho...ted-s-off-t-mobile-mytouch-4g-or-t-mobile-g2/
AND AFTER DOING WHAT THEU SAID MY PHONE JUST ACTED CRAZY/
EVERYTIME I TRIED TO TURN THE PHONE ON IT VIBRATES CONTINUESLY AND NEVER GETS TO THE OS. SO I LEFT IT ON FOR NIGHT LIKE THAT AND I WOKE UP IN THE MORNING OBVIOUSLY BETTERY WAS COMPLETLY DRAINED ( AFTER ALL THE VIBRATING BACK AND FORTH)
ANYWAYS, NOW IT JUST TURNS ON AND STAYS AT " MY TOUCH 4G SCREEN WHERE ITS WHITE AND THAT WRITING" IT JUST FREEZES.
IF I TRY TO HOLD VOL DOWN AND CLICK POWER BUTTON, I GET TO THE PAGE WHERE ITS WHITE AND FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, FACTORY RESET,SIMLUCK,IMAGE CRC MENU.
I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING IN THAT MENU INLUDING FACTORY RESET, NOTTING WORKS.
WHEN I ALSO TRY RECOVERY FROM THERE I CAN GET TO "ClockMod Recovery" BUT I CANT EVEN ACCES INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD, WHEN I TRY THAT ALL I SEE IS A BLACK SCREEN AND A HAT AND A BIG EYE UNDER IT.
THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING,
Step one, slow down
step two, turn off the caps.
Step three it's obvious that you have s=off if you have clockwork ROM on your phone.
At the top of your phone What recovery image do you have? 3.0.0.5? or a 2.x one?
thank you for responding, I have v3.0.0.5 version
i have v3.0.0.5 version

as long as you do not have any errors on your recovery image about not being able to mount anything....to get your phone working you can do one of two things.
1)You can flash any Gingerbread based ROM either from Cyanogen(mod) or from TeamRoyal. Those all can be found in our Development section from your recovery image.
2) you can flash the PD15IMG and restore you phone back to 100% via the HBoot (engineering) screen, that can be found in our development section as well.
no luck
I get notting but a black screen with hat and eye under, everytime i try to choose anything from clockworkmod menu.I have adb installed on my pc and it regonizes my device , is there a way to reset the phone from there? maybe?

You can also check the semi brick thread in here. There is a link to a nice guide to revert back to stock. Exact same issue!

when you select something you need to select it with the track pad. If you use the power button you'll get the text will disappear.
the only way you can use ADB to flash stuff is if you have the engineering bootloader. If you just followed TheUnlockr's method then you do not have it.
i use volume buttons and power button to select it
oh ok now i used the mouse button select and i can select but now the phone is keep resrarting every like 10 seconds with a vibrate, nottting happens just restarting over and over. Where should I go next?
( remember fartest i can go is the "colockworkmod")

As he mentioned above, you need to use the trackpad buttons to make selections, NOT the power button.
If you can successfully reboot into recovery, just wipe the phone completely and flash a new ROM...

If you navigate to "advanced" and select it will it give you a new set of options?
if it does try the "mount USB" and plug it into a computer and see if you can surf the SD card via a computer.

3.0.0.5 is only compatible with 2.3 ROMS.
use this to flash it
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...pdate_Guide#First_Method_.28via_RomManager.29
and you'll want to use the "from recovery" method.

Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
I have 3.0 05
But As I was instructed I have downloaded PD151MG file and put it on my sd card and reboot my phone to the engineering menu and right away it asked me if I want to update to PD151Mg file and I clicked yes I guess this new rom will work for me
As of now it is updating.... I will let you guys know later for the result ( I hope I am not doing something even worst )

There is a flashable 3.0.0.6 image that True_blue Scripted but you have to get into the ROM to do it.

Once you are done with the PD15IMG you will have to reroot your phone. IT will return it to a 100% stock fashion.
after you re-root the phone please flash the 3.0.0.6 to help save any confusion down the road.

The original 3.0.0.6 was made by option94, and you can flash it from your existing recovery or fastboot, so booting into a ROM is not necessary.
Ok my phone was working fine, I decided to update my rom with rom manager. I accidently downloaded a rom patch instead of a rom. I installed it and when i boot my phone i get application launcher has stopped. please close .

Don't use the power button to select. Use the trackpad

Well first off, you should ALWAYS make nandroid (ROM manager) backups before flashing any ROM, addon, patch, etc.
That aside, you have a few things to do here. If you didn't make a nandroid backup you should download a ROM.zip file from the Dev section (your choice), and put it on your SDcard. Enter the boot loader (from off) by holding vol. down+power, then selecting 'recovery'. Once in recovery, wipe data/factory reset, and then go to 'install zip from SDcard' and select the ROM.zip. Then flash any associated .zip's or anything that the ROM maker suggest. Reboot, and you're good to go in a working ROM. You can now go from there.
Remember, when in recovery you need to use the TRACKPAD and BACK BUTTON to navigate the CWM recovery screen. Using the power button / camera button / menu button will just show/hide the menu or turn the screen off. You can scroll and select with the trackpad, and go back with the 'back' button. Only use these 2. Nothing is wrong with your phone, you're just using the wrong damn buttons.
Your phone is so far from bricked its not even funny. Just follow some basic knowledge on how the recovery and ROM manager works and you'll be back to 100%.
thanks alot guys. i was really high so i started getting paranoid about my phone lol BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH
Power Button just shows the wallpaper, trackpad is where you select for our phone
Does anyone know what this could be? I can't do it holding any of the buttons or from reom manager

Power phone off , power phone on , once you see the magldr screen , press and hold power , then using volume buttons scroll down and select "AD Recovory"
If you can't get into recovery your recovery is probably broken. If you tried the above post and you can't get into recovery mode you probably flashed clockwork mod via rom manager (this breaks the recovery) or did something else to damage the recovery. Download the sd recovery method via this post and follow the instructions as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17068500&postcount=2
Can you boot into recovery now? Make a backup via CWM and reinstall CWM if any problem persists.

Hi,
I have also faced similar situation.
Use HTC HD2 Toolkit to wipe (bottom left) given in the thread.
CAUTION: It will DELETE everything.

Hey guys,
i having trouble to get the recovery MENU open in Recovery Mode.
I shutdown the nexus, press power and both volume buttons -> fastboot, then go "into recovery".
But now i only get the green android with a "Kein Befehl" (means "No Command" oder something like that.)
I cant get the menu show up (the blue you can factory reset or clean cache, reboot etc).
After some trying with the buttons, the nexus reboot itself again normally.
Whats wrong? Did Google change here something?
It's usually volume up and power to get the menu but seeing as I'm using CWM I can't remember - not used the stock recovery in years!
It's still power then quickly tap volume up to access the menu

use this, and choose boot into recovery... easiest way, at least if direct way from bootloader doesn't work...
maybe u should reflash your recovery if the direct way isn't working
Maybe you haven't installed correctly the recovery..
Do a factory reset and then try again..
I had the same problem and I solved with this steps..

Thank you for reading my question... *sigh*
It doesent work, very strange, i already done it with the nexus 4.
it should be fixed with factory image, but i dont want to do it and loss all data, maybe later. but thanks for the answers.
So I tried going into recovery mode and ever since the update it won't allow me. Just shows the android laying down and says "no command" what am I doing wrong? Just trying to wipe cache.

you need to hold the power button and hit the volume keys from that screen to get to recovery.

You need to do that after you select recovery mode.
Sounds like a missing recovery... might need to reflash TWRP
Me too. Untethered Recovery. What can I do?
Sr for my English.
Boot into bootloader then scroll to recovery and press power button to select recovery.
Then u press and hold the power button and click volume down then it will open the recovery options.

That's not the problem, it stops morons from accessing it and messing with it then calming that it deleted all their stuff which it's their fault not anyone elses.
@scoot0073 said the exact steps.
Download the latest twrp from twrp.me to your computer. Once you have that boot your phone to the bootloader - power and volume down. After that simply plug in your phone, open a cmd/terminal in the folder where the twrp-xxx file is. then run this.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-1-angler.img
If that version doesn't work, try 3.0.2
That's my suggestion! Hope it works.
PS: The last time I was on Android N I had to decrypt. Not sure if that is still required.
When you see the Android lying on its back, you are in recovery mode. From there, your need to hold power and tap volume up. That will give you the different recovery menu options like install from adb, wipe, etc.

I have a solution for this..
As it happened with me as well..
Just.. Press and hold the power button
Then.. double click the volume button..
This will surely work for u..!!
