When i power my, MT4G up it brings me to the Slash screen. How would i get my phone back to normal so that i can use it again. Please help. Thanking in advance.

So is your phone rooted? Have you checked your eMMC ?
So, how this problem occurred ? did you do anything unusual ?

you're gonna have to give out more information if you want help.

The phone is not rooted. This is what happened that got me t this point. I was trying to download angry birds and the phone just cut its self off (maybe because to had to many apps running) then i just decided to take out the battery and let it sit, so i did and i cut it back on then it worked i let it sit and update everything like android does when you cut it on then the phone cut it self off again on im stuck at the splash screen. :'(

Try doing a factory reset on the phone. Get into the bootloader by holding the volume down button and then holding down the power button simultaneously. Use the volume up/down button to highlight factory reset, then to select press the power button

I did it and 3 android dudes with skate boards are on the screen for like 3 hours no exactution

Which version of the stock rom are you using. Is it 2.2.1 or 2.3.4 ?
If you can't get the factory reset, I will give the stock rom . Do update using hboot.

were you running 2.2.1 or 2.3.4 when it happened?
or
can you tell us the hBoot version you have
it will be loacated at the top of that screen with listed some like .xx.yyyy
If this happen post the update i would exchange it under warranty as you might have a bad eMMC chip and something failed in the writing process.

I'm running HBOOT-0.86.0000, When it happened i was running stock because it hasnt been updated sence i had the phone. My factory reset wont proceed with the prgress bars t-moblie i should have.

Could just be a bad update file and a corrupt system

he didn't update it to 2.3.4.
corrupt file system maybe, but doesn't seem likely. sounds more like an eMMC failure to me.

Is eMMc software or hardware?

eMMC is a chip that stores information, a chip that you can write to.

Well lets hope that's not the case. How cam I get a copies of the stock Rom and try to install it?

Given you are on the .85 or .86 hBoot.
Download THIS FILE . leave it zipped up, and store it on the root of your SDcard.
power down the phone, pull the battery if needed. Then power on the phone holding down the power button and the volume down rocker. Once it boot select "bootloader". It will scan the SdCard for the file then prompt you to update the file.

But when I start up the phone and enter the prompte screen it scans the SD card automatically is that suppose to happen?

yes. if SDcard is in the device bootloader will automatically scan for the PD151IMG.zip file.

[Q] Help please....

hello...could anybody help me please...i was updating my htc magic to [ROM][32b] Official AOSP 2.2 OTA...but after i copied the update to sd,and i rebooted at the recovery menu i couldn't scroll to select the update.zip..it takes very long n i decided to pull out the battery n restart it again..unfortunately it went wrong somewhere n the phne keep on restarting again and again...i've tried to hard reset and all...but it won't works...help pleasee...
no replies yet...that's very sad..
If you can get to the recovery screen try wiping and factory reset.and flash a different rom. If that doesn't work. You can always do the unroot method by using the smping.mbh file or something like that. Look up how to unroot in google and you should know what I mean. Hope this helps

thanks lucas..but,the problem is that i can't get the recovery...it's keep on restarting again and again..??any idea?
Well then you need to unroot your mytouch it basically puts it back in factory settings and you do it through fast boot. I'm guessing you have the original mytouch this how I did it

You don't need to get in recovery screen. Turn the phone off and hold the up volume button and the power button and fast boot the sapping.nbh file
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
What I did is:
Through fastboot I flashed SAPPIMG.nbh. It put my phone to the cupcake (1.5). Then I installed rooted HTC 1.6 update. After that I flashed any Rom I wanted.

PS: This is the only working way I know since I am a noob too and finally got it going. Tried almost every rom in this section

You're very welcome. this method had saved my phone from being bricked like a hundred times.if the g2 had a fail safe like that I would of already rooted it. Glad I could help

yo lucas...sorry for the late reply..now the phone had the same problem again...i just tried to do recovery using ROM manager..but after it saves everything and reboot and the splash screen looping continuosly again..damn it..it's my 2n tiime now..grrrr!!i tried ur method n it didn't work...n seems there is alot of people with this same problem when i tried to search around..seems there is no better solutions yet for this "semi-brickd" problems..
So you can't put it back to stock? If you manage to get it back to stock by doing the same thing you did beforev you should try using a different recovery. aman-ra's recovery is the best for me. But I can't see how you can't get into the fastboot screen by pressing power and volume up,that's never failed for me. If its really impossible you should have tmobile replace it. I don't think they can tell you hacked it if they can't even get into fastboot.sorry if I took long to answer

Just bought a Used ATRIX and Volume rocker Dosent Work?? Want to restore, HELP!!!!

I noticed because when I bought it it was heavily modified & rooted running Gingerblur, already had clockwork installed so I went to flash a clean sbf with rsd and could not get it to enter rsd mode. Finally I realized it was because the volume button dosen't work. I have a feeling its not hardware related and more likely someone that didnt know what they were doing fooling with things.
Does anyone know a way I can fully restore it without using the volume rocker? When I called back the guy that sold it to me he claimed I have to install rom manager and load a image and that will fix it but he probably dosent know what hes talking about.
Does it have tenfars CWM installed already? If not, can you install it? With it , you can reboot directly into cwm recovery and do a factory reset / data wipe or flash something else through update.zip

Yes it has it installed already but without functioning volume up/down buttons I cannot select any files or options?

Yah I tried that a couple times. Rocker still dosent work. Took it to my local cell phone repair shop and they said its hardware related. Dosent make sense though since water damage indicator is white and phone appears to be in brand new physical condition like its never been dropeed or damaged. But it has been hacked as i see system recovery and its rooted with gingerblur.
The person that you bought the phone from could have pressed way to hard on the button and broke it without even knowing it.

Thanks for the suggestion but it says there is no software update available when i connect it. Anyways I took it to att warranty center they said they will send out replacemnet and that software related stuff should not affect my warranty. A little worried though since it says gingerBLUR on boot up. Wish I could restore this somehow.

Ok I have root explorer. What exactly should I do?
If you still have the phone I remembered that you can enter rsd mode by enabling usb debugging then clicking start on rsdlite. It'll reboot into rsd protocol mode.
if it is the rocker that's gone, its only a module and theres only 6 screws to totally disassemble the phone. no void stickers either. my phone's rocker button was broke to when i bought mine used. i just disassembled and reassembled and it was magically fixed! theres nothing scary about taking it apart either
Did you find a solution?

I have the Astro file manager.
Place this file in your internal sd.
http://db.tt/er5nBa0B
Hold your vol up /down and power buttons. When vibrant screen comes up, release the power button but keep holding the vol buttons this will put you in recovery. Hit reinstall packages and it should take you to Red recovery screen, this means all text will be red. It may take a couple of times but once you turn red, you will be rooted.
As always, I am not responsible if you brick your phone and don't forget to hit the thanks button.
Edit : make sure the name of the file is Update.zip no other variations will work. You can change the name to read that in case it reads Update.zip.zip . DO NOT UNZIP.

Bootloops means soft bricks which is not really a problem. When your phone Boots up, press the down key along worth the power button. Then keep pressing down button until you see Android Recovery. Do a factory reset or flash another room once in there.

Sounds like a hard brick indeed. At this moment in time hard bricks are incurable but some people said that taking their battery out and putting it back into their phones solved their problem. You might want to give it a shot.
A guy also claimed thay its possible to unhardbrick your phone using the jtag technique. You might want to read up on it.

There's soo many forums and different avenues to go down! after about 9 hours trying various things to make my atrix (running normal 2.3.4 rooted with no other cm7 or rom or any other mod) i am left with my atrix at the boot screen OR if i leave it to boot it just makes the logging on noises then shows the white screen, then nothing.
I stupidly followed the list to freeze using bloatfreezer. Not the updated list where it reads next to HOME (make sure you have another launcher) so i have frozen 'home' and i am stuck.
i cannot do a recovery because it has that fail message x2 everytime i do the power volume - and + on the android recov.
I am completely lost. i do not understand what hard/soft/adw/ push email/ or other jargon means. If you have any solutions i'd be more than grateful.
I hope i haven't bricked my phone, cos a 2year contract and no new phone is gonna push me near that ledge lol

If you're on AT&T - get RSD lite and find the proper sbf file and flash it. If you were using Gingerbread, make SURE you have a GINGERBREAD sbf file - or else you'll permanently brick your phone. If you're on Bell - you'll need the appropriate file for Bell to flash, same rules apply - If your on gingerbread, make SURE its a gingerbread file you're flashing.

There's soo many forums and different avenues to go down! after about 9 hours trying various things to make my atrix (running normal 2.3.4 rooted with no other cm7 or rom or any other mod) i am left with my atrix at the boot screen OR if i leave it to boot it just makes the logging on noises then shows the white screen, then nothing.
I stupidly followed the list to freeze using bloatfreezer. Not the updated list where it reads next to HOME (make sure you have another launcher) so i have frozen 'home' and i am stuck.
i cannot do a recovery because it has that fail message x2 everytime i do the power volume - and + on the android recov.
I am completely lost. i do not understand what hard/soft/adw/ push email/ or other jargon means. If you have any solutions i'd be more than grateful.
I hope i haven't bricked my phone, cos a 2year contract and no new phone is gonna push me near that ledge lol

[Q] My phone took rom off itself

hi there i have my my touch 4g running jellybean 4.1.1 and some reason today when i went to go in the boot menu and change my splash screen it like restarted itself. Every time i try to click recovery in the boot menu it shows the pd15 files and then shows you need to update it. So basically i guess it went back to its original skin ,but still has everything. I see the s is off. Is there a way to be able to go back or do i have do the whole entire rooting process over again? I really appreciate all your help.
You need to remove the PDxx.img file from your SDcard otherwise evertime you go to the bootloader it will boot the stock ROM.

Thanks for responding. Umm I'm kinda of confused are you talking about the PD15img.zip? Also, would it be hidden in a folder or just out in the beginning?

Pd15img.zip should be located in the root of your SD card.

If you flashed a ROM of some sort using the PD15IMG.ZIP method (such as a stock Froyo or GB ROM), it exists in the root of your SD card (so, under /sdcard). You should see it by hooking up the phone and browsing to the top level of the card, or you could take the SD card out and examine it directly. If you don't rename if after an install, every time you try to boot the bootloader will look for it and try to reinstall it.
Whether you need to reroot again kind of depends on what the PD15IMG was. If you went back down to a stock ROM, then you would probably have to at least go through the rooting steps again (but not the S-off part).

Alright so all day today i have been trying to get my phone working again and i can not get it to work. It still won't let me go into clockwork mod menu when you click recovery. when i click recovery it shows a phone with a red ! on it. I've tried factory reset ,full reset of phone and sd card and still not working. Anyone have any ideas why it won't work?

I've only had that happen a couple of times when a ROM did not load successfully. Usually it's recoverable, but it sounds like in this case you *might* (I would ask somebody with more experience) need to reflash the CWM recovery via adb in order to get it working once again.

Yeah. The PD15IMG.zip put the stock recovery back on. Just flash the custom recovery of your choice.
