Hi i have a MyTouch 4G rooted with Virtuous Fusion ROM. Everything was working until when I tried to install Miui Music Player on it. I did adb push but after doing it when i unplugged the phone from my computer several Force Close came up then i rebooted my phone then the MYTOUCH Tmobile logo start up screen came then the HTC logo came then my phone will shut down. I tried to start my phone again the same thing happen. I did Hboot and tried recovery from there but it didnt work. I tried Factory Reset but it failed. I go to clockwork recovery mode if i do backup and restore or factory reset nothing happens. Does it mean my phone is gone? Is there anything i can do to fix it? Please anybody help Does this mean my phone i bricked

Are you clicking the trackpad to make the selection? I ask because some people have tried using other buttons to select and then thought their phone was bricked.

Great minds think alike. Hopefully that was his only problem. I have to say though, there's something pretty funny about someone thinking their phone is bricked because they're using the wrong button to make selections in recovery! I'm not making fun of anyone, but it does make my chuckle a little.

If the ROM still won't boot, I would wipe data, cache, and Dalvik-Cache, and then flash the ROM again (assuming the zip is still on your SD).

Wipe each item once. I think the new recoveries wipe everything when you select 'data', but do the other items just to be sure. Dalvik-Cache is under the Advanced section.
Thanks a lot. My phone working now!

Hi thanks a lot for your help. Your Track pad solution is golden. My phone is working now. Take care and keep helping people
Glad I could help.
Haha I feel for you OP I had this problem at first (came from an EVO didn't have a trackpad) so I was confused. Didn't take much before I realized it was the trackpad inside. My new problem is my trackpad broke lol. So now I can't select anything (in the OS or in the Recovery) somehow I got the power button to work one time while I was in recovery (little white writing even came up like it does when you flash a rom that said "power button select enabled") never got this to happen again though, any ideas?

OK, I'd appreciate some help here. I Just downloaded Zenmaster's Reboot button app. I probably made a mistake by going to ROM manager and its install from SD card option.
The install started out fine, but just stalled at installing update. Left it there for 30 minutes.
I did a battery pull and the phone went into recovery except it says at the bottom of the screen:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk01p1
(Invalid Arguement)
#MANUAL MODE#
The upper screen has the typical
reboot system now
Apply sdcard...
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
Nothing happens with either reboot system now or apply from sdcard
So I really would appreciate...what now.
Are you rooted? Do you have Clockwork Recovery installed?
Are you hitting the "Home" soft button key on the Reboot option? That's the "Enter" key for the stock recovery screen, not the Power button like it is for Clockwork.

Thanks for your response.
Yes I'm rooted and yes I have CWM.
This is embarrassing now, because I WAS NOT hitting the home button, which I should have known to do, but obviously forgot. Did that and I'm back up. Old Droid habits die hard I guess.
My apologies for using up bandwidth and thank you again.

Yeah, that's not gonna work. The app is a .apk file, which gets installed via adb or Root Manager/Astro. It's not a flashable zip.
It's also now available on the market .

Bonus. That is fantastic news.
Well naming the .zip to .apk worked and Reboot Button worked. Sort of. I think what happened here was no fault of the app, but something related to the relationship between my phone and voodoo. I had never seen any particular problem on my phone, but I just wanted a way to disable the thing as I was contemplating flashing jt's ROM.
Well the disabling of voodo lost root on my phone. I use Launcher Pro and that was gone too. So I tried reinstalling that and entered a force close loop from hell. After installing the LP, the phone regressed to the same opening screen it had when out of the box, different from the static wallpaper I had.
There is a thread on this here:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/fascinate-roms-hacks/38029-how-escape-force-close-loop-hell.html
I followed that and got back to the out of the box Fascinate state. Only part of my apps, and not all of the paid ones showed up in Market, even after an overnight wait. The significant missing one is Documents to Go.
There was 0.00 space left on internal memory, so I did a factory reset.
This would not be a big deal, BUT the phone will not root, so I can't use Titanium Backup to restore stuff. The Samsung Drivers are installed, the USB cable is the one that came with the phone, and the computer recognizes the device. However, Odin seems to think the device is not connected.
So, I'm not sure what is going on with this phone of mine. Again, I don't think it is the app.
Edit; All is back to normal
OK, I'm kinda new at this flashing stuff but here is my issue. I tried to flash DL30 using the instructions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937499 Everything was fine until after step 2. When I selected "choose zip from SD Card" I couldn't find my DL30.zip =O. Anyone know how I can fix this?
When in doubt, download again. Our if you can, hook it up to your comp and do a file search. Typically it saves in downloads. Make sure its saved as a zip as well.
Also when looking for it in cwm scroll all the way to the bottom.

Wait, so its safe to select "reboot system now" after i wiped and factory reseted it? I've been staring at my CWM Menu for an hour now afraid to do anything with it until im surely sure what im doing.

Basically...i flashed dl30 over dj05 and once that was done while still in recovery I flashed new_cmw.zip. Then I reboot. Hope that helps...

It wipes data and junk. Wipe it then flash dl30. And make sure if you had voodoo...you dusabled it.

Apparently it was right where i put it...but I'm still unable to locate it in CWM
Should be fine...so long as you disabled voodoo, flashed dl30 and new_cwm. I'll be waiting to hear how it goes before I head to bed...

nevermind, it just boots into blue recovery
Would it work if i install directly from rom manager?
I may be wrong but you need it in for the update zip to get to cwm.
when i go into recovery to flash or anything it just stands there and does nothing? i can flash through clockwork recovery app but not CWM... any ideas????
Are you using the trackball to make your selections? How far do you get in the process? Is it enabling you to move the selector at all?

So, due to teamwin dropping twrp I flashed CWM Touch via rom manager (I did it twice, just to make sure it wasn't a bad flash or whatever happened) and when I try to shut down the phone, it just boots into recovery. Even after pulling the battery, once the battery is back in... recovery it is. It seems like it only does this when the phone is plugged in. But wtf is this? Lol, not hurting anything but annoying

Format /system, /cache, wipe dalvik and reflash your ROM. Once you do that download ROM manager (if it's not already there) and flash clockwork again.

What does rom have to do with recovery? Wiping cache and dalvik-cache will not do anything. It's because charging while off mode does not work anymore due to the new recovery being based off of ics and not gingerbread. That's probably why there's no power off option anymore too.

Coming from a galaxy s4, i did alot of tweaking around, sometimes screwing up systemui and other things that would cause my phone to bootloop and get stuck... There was always an easy solution... Reboot the phone into recovery, wipe data, and flash the rom again, then everything would be ok.. ive never truely had my phone brick to a point where it was a nightmare to fix. Everything was easily accessible through TWRP
does that work the same on the g2??? If i flash a kernel that doesnt work, or do something that causes my rom (clean rom) not to boot up, is it as simple as booting the phone into recovery and flashing my rom again to start from scratch???
Just wanna know what im getting into before i risk screwing anything up.. thanks
looking around i see posts of people having nightmares to fix their phones... i dont know what fastboot is either.. cant you just boot the phone into twrp and reflash your rom???

I'm curious about this too. On rare occasions it has been necessary to pull the battery to reboot the phone. How does one handle those circumstances with a non-removable battery?

thats exactly what i was wondering earlier... you would pull the battery when it bootloops... but.. we cant pull the battery, so what do we do??? And what is the purpose of fastboot, if we have TWRP??? i would assume you would easily just boot the phone into recovery and just flash the rom again to fix it, but why does it seem like people are having other issues??
Worrying gives grey hairs...what if we all die tomorrow? TRWP is God for the G2 stop worrying ?

Thank for the reply. But the OP and I do not have the phone yet, and are looking for info. I've been burned before with a phone that was difficult and don't want to make the same mistake. Don't worry be happy and hakuna matata do not answer our specific concerns. I am very close to buying this phone but can't without specific info. That is why I posted here.

Have the latest recovery (2.6.3.2) installed!!! Turn off phone and then hold Vol- and power simultaneously till you see the LG logo then release the buttons for 1 second then press and hold Vol- and power again till you see the factory reset screen. Just select "Yes" twice and you will boot into recovery (don't worry about seeing this screen you won't lose any data unless you actually wipe from recovery)
If you don't have TWRP 2.6.3.2 installed then you can break your device attempting to do button combos so make sure you have this version!

Thank you very much. I for one appreciate the specifics. The only remains question I have is what can one do when the phone becomes frozen or locked up. Normally I would pull the battery but we know that isn't an option here.

if I remember correctly you should be able to hold the power button down for a few seconds then as soon as the LG screen comes up it should power off.
if you can't get it to power off, just try the button combination from where you are and follow through with instructions.
ok because as soon as we get a system dump of sprints g2, i will be making a fix to make google wallet work on all other devices, but i expect several bootloops till i get it right lol

I have brought up this issue before about booting into recovery via key combo till I finally was told how to do it. The Devs who got us TWRP still haven't updated it in the thread because it can still possibly cause issues but I haven't seen any yet as I've tested it several times too, so be careful guys.

Again, you want to hit "Yes" twice. Don't worry you won't lose any data unless you erase it inadvertently from TWRP. just go on in click "Yes" twice to the factory reset you will be fine. It will boot you into recovery from there and it WILL NOT wipe your phone.
