Is it normal for Volume Down & Power to not be working, if my mt4g has the gb update? I mean it won't enter the boot screen. I know it can't be rooted, but shouldn't it at least enter the boot mode?

if you are running 2.3.4 and want in hboot the got to settings/power make sure fast boot is unchecked then power off then push and hold volume down and power should get you into hboot
or you can turn it off and pull out the battery then put it back in and try
My friends Mytouch 4g crashed today. It will only boot into bootloader and Fastboot, which I thought was fine, but the hardware buttons aren't working so I can't navigate to factory reset or anything. The phone is stock, s-on, not rooted, and they have never had problems with the hardware buttons before. Is this thing able to be saved? Thanks in advance!

The only buttons that work in the bootloader are volume and power. Use the volume buttons to scroll and the power button to select.

Are you saying ALL the hardware buttons? Or just the five at the bottom.. try what teejay said about using the volume buttons. If you can get into boot loader, then the volume buttons should work.

Both volume buttons and the power button do not work. Can the other buttons also be used to navigate in the bootloader?

Just saw what teejay said, so if the power button and volume buttons are the only way to navigate in bootloader, I'd need to push an RUU via ADB, correct? Will I be able to do that without the volume and power buttons working?

Stock non rooted son.... Call Tmobile.
Its weird how you can get to bootloader but can't navigate with volume and power which are the same buttons to boot into bootloader.

Thats what I was thinking lol. I told my friend to just call t mobile and get it taken care of. I'm still curious how you could go about fixing this sort of issue tho.

+1 on that...
i was wondering that as well lol
Maybe he did adb reboot bootloader or just reboot bootloader in terminal emulator?
EDIT: I just tried in TE and SU is required to use reboot bootloader command. Hmm. I got the impression this thing wasn't rooted. Is it?
EDIT: I'm a douche. It crapped out and only boots to bootloader. I should read harder. Warranty?

I think one of the HW buttons (most probably VolDown or trackball) got stuck on. If I remember correctly, in this case the rest of the buttons won't cause any reaction.

I did notice that just holding the power button takes me straight to fast boot, whereas volume down + power goes to bootloader like normal. What button combo is needed to go straight to fastboot?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk
Power+trackpad, I believe...
Ok, phone is no longer under warranty, so Im going to try to get the phone going again if possible. I'm guessing my only real option is adb, but how am I to select apply update once I push the ruu?

ADB won't help you. If you have a physical problem that won't allow you past bootloader - you'll have the phone booting to bootloader whatever you do, and while you'll probably be able to force boot by using "fastboot boot your_local_kernel_image" command (if you're S-OFF and on engineering bootloader), some ROMs might not boot or not work properly with a stuck trackpad.
If the problem is physical - you'll need to disassemble the phone and fix it physically.
Phone is s-on and using the stock bootloader, not an eng bootloader. Is there an adb command to force a factory reset? Or is it possible to gain s-off and root with the phone like this and then try and force boot with that command?

I'm just brainstorming, trying to figure something out. When I get off work tonight I'm going to mess with it, maybe hop in an irc channel for help.. gonna at least try to fix it

I bought a mytouch 4g off CL 6 months ago. From the description it sounded like they tried to root and got stuck on fastboot. I bought it thinking I would flash it and all would be ok. Well, it had the EXACT same issue as you are describing. After a few weeks of playing with it, I sent it in to HTC for their $35 repair. They sent it back in working condition and did not charge me since it was still under warranty.
So, I conclude from that HTC would charge the $35 for non-warranty repair of the same issue.
That is probably the only route you can take that involves making that phone functional. However, I am no mt4g root expert.
Haii so im trying to install a rom and i cant do it. Everytime i choose to go to recovery mode it just stays in a black screen and the only way is to remove battery and restart. Thanks for your help
Sent from my MyTouch 4G using XDA
While phone is off..hold vol down + power. You will enter the bootloader..with the volume button highlight recovery, press power button. Also have you flashed a custom recovery?

Ty for ur answer, i was able to do it pressing power button, i chose reboot and then i chose recovery
Sent from my Glacier using XDA
With the new roms out I am trying them all. But when I try to restore my rom volume down and power my phone just restarts. What am I doing wrong? Also when I try to make a nandroid back up with vol dn and power I dont see that option. I do have rom manager on my phone Ive been told to not trust rom manager so Im trying to do it manually but?
After removing and reinserting your battery you're pressing volume down and power (at the same time) until it you see the white HTC screen?

That will get you to your bootloader and from there to recovery. Sometimes it's the simpleless thing, or just one missing step, that can something frustrating. Glad I could help.

Go into Menu*Settings*power and tick off Fast Boot and you wont have to do a battery pull anymore, then you can power down then got into hboot. But i bought the best app ever, called reboot scheduler and i use that as a 4-1 reboot since we dont have it on the doubleshot :-/

there is a app called quick boot on the market its free and you can choose to reboot recovery bootloader or power off works great and its free
I just got my Nexus yesterday I absolutely love it I can't figure out the button combination to force into clockwork recovery I can use the app to get into recovery what is there a button combination that will put me into recovery please help me thanks
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
You could just do adb reboot recovery when it's booted.. much simpler than random button combinations (I've never got those to work either).

You can do this by holding both volume up and volume down together when powering on. Then you use the volume rocker to select recovery option.

Actually it's just vol down + power.
I ended up in download mode last time I tried vol up + vol down + power
Thanks I thought those combinations brought you into fast boot.. I guess what your saying it's from there you can select recovery....
