If you know how to use ADB you can use that to flash your ROM.
If not, just warranty exchange the phone.
Na man can you point me there? I think I tried to use abd for my vibrant way back but it was over complicated but that was like a year ago..things might have changed

i have the same problem with my trackpad and i was wondering do i have to pay 130$ for a replacement (i got my mytouch back in february 2011) or is it free? i dont have insurance on it
Oh and use the camera button if you want to click things in the recovery it works just like the trackpad but you press the camera button all the way down instead thats what i do since the trackpad wont work anymore
Thanks haldi and no it should be free since it comes with a year warrenty and Im sure the problem isn't from missuse so you should be good

It's free as long as the phone doesn't have damages such as cracks or any water damage. You just have to pay the 10-20 bucks for shipping.
My phone looks like its brand new no scratches or anything but i did the back cover mod that makes it shiny and i wonder if thats going to cause any problems
Can i also go to a tmobile store to get it replaced? or is there a number i call?
From my experiences, tmobile asked for me to only send in the phone itself. They will ask you to remove the back cover, SD card, and battery before sending in your defective unit. Cheeeers

They'll still fix the phone for free, but you'll be put on a blacklist if you don't have stock.

Whilst out walking the dog I noticed a htc phone facedown on the pavement, there was no body else about so I picked it up...
Turns out to be a wildfire with vodaphone sim and security gesture locked.
What should I do?
Is the phone rooted or not ?!
If not just Hold Volume Down + The power button to boot into hBoot menu, then choose clear storage and choose yes, this will hard reset the phone and it will be as new, enjoy it
LUCKY!! -.-
Hi, no doubt its rooted. Yeah I know how to wipe it but didn't know if it was blockable by the carrier. Thibk its pay as you go to be honest!
I have a rooted desire myself but might give it to the misses

Sadly i had to say goodbye to a very dear friend today...... my Shift decided to take a dump on me, the friggin power button decided it was going to stop working and now she is powered off with no way to turn her back on...... Since its time for an upgrade im going to be going in the route of the Nexus as i can get it online for 29.99..... Im gonna miss the old shift but im not even gonna risk it getting one because i know itll be 2.3.3 and unrootable. Met some good guys in here and im sure ill still be seeing you guys around. If anyone wants, i have a shift that is rooted and currently running Cyclonic rom but will not power on because of the broken power button i will let it go very cheap, i also have a brand new otterbox still in the box ill sell for 20ishbucks shipped. im gonna miss the ol shifty

Get on irc and join #htc_evo_shift you might be able to get it repaired at a Sprint store as well. Have you tried that?

Short the solder pads with a tiny tiny wad of aluminum foil, Done this before on other devices. if the pads lifted, use sewing needles and just pierce the traces and touch the 2 needles

Exactly what I did when my HTC Vogue had a broken power button.
Yea I was able to turn it on using a piece of solder to short the contacts out, then used button remapper to make my volume down key my power key. As long as I restore the remapper app with data everytime I flash ill be set unless I need to do a battery pull, then its back to shortin the contact!

So you got it working now?
Evo SHIFT
Well my back button sometimes gets stuck and wont work. And i searched and it said maybe to open the phone and fix it,but i dont wanna do that. How can switch it for it to be on the genius button.or how else to fix the button? Im using button savior right now but i dont like it,.and its from craiglist so no warranty.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Its a hardware defect buddy. If you want to fix it you will almost certainly have to crack the phone open. There is probably some gunk under or between the buttons.
Yea I know.that's what ima have to do.well thanks for replying .

you can remap it to the genius key using ButtonRemapper

If you've got a case on it that protrudes forward from the bezel just slam it face down on the counter. Worked for me! Haha

I got my new flex cable today but after installing it and booting the shift there is no display. It does boot. The keyboard lights up and the home menu back and search buttons light up. I can even hear the sound that happens when I change the volume but nothing on the screen. I stripped it down a second time to be sure everything was plugged in right but there's nothing out of place that I can find. :crying: Man I hate this. I have loved being a part of this group.

Funny you should mention that. Last week at like 2am I bid on what I thought was an Evo Shift but it turned out to be an EVO 4G. (I'm such a dufus) It came today and I guess that's my new phone.

Did you still wanna try and make a Frankenstein Shift with my wife's? Although idk if it will help since the display/digitizer is water damaged and crazy as hell... Maybe with some of the parts you can get it working.
