I've been having this issue but haven't said anything about it because I can get around it....but when I select back up current ROM or boot into recovery the screen goes black like its going to boot into recovery and the hard buttons at the bottom front of the phone all stay lit up and it stays like that unless I pull the battery....it happens in this latest version of ROM Manager and in the one before it...like I said I can still work around it and boot into recovery using the power button but it bothers me a little....I been on the latest version of VU....

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.

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

Hi there, I got my Transformer about a week ago and the Powerbutton was somehow not ok, it took some power to lock/unlock screen etc yet i didnt really care. now it wont function at all (to turn it of i had to push it against a damn wall).
So i understand its a problem with the button and not the software and I want to go and replace it, problem is that two days ago i flashed modaco's rom. is there any way to return to STOCK WITH the broken powerbutton? how can i go to recovery in that case anyways?
also, maybe i can remap the button to "both volume buttons pressed" or something of the sort?
thanks in advance!
Connect to pc/mac with the android sdk install. Send these commands to it.

I see, now remains the problem of how to flash it to stock firmware.
I think you can put the stock update zip on the root of your sd card and flash it in recovery.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
But the problem is when choosing what to do in recovery mode. The choice is made by pressing the power button.
When you reboot into honeycomb with the update on the root of the card you should get a notification of a system update. Try that.

Are you sure it safe to just apply an update on a custom ROM? I don't wont it completely bricked.
Oh your rooted. Didn't know that. Kinda don't know now.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
Flash the attachment, reboot your device. This will give you stock recovery
Next you need to download one of the FOTA update (any version will do) from ASUS's site and rename it EP101_SDUPDATE.zip and put it in the root of your MicroSD. Now you need to boot into recovery and press volume up within 5 seconds so it'll flash the recovery ROM.
Trying to return phone to stock and CANNOT enter the bootloader for it to recognize my stock image on the sd card because the darn power button is broken/stuck.
I try adb reboot bootloader and that sends me into FASTBOOT, NOT bootloader
any other way to get to bootloader (without use of the power button) or flash back the stock rom?
Thanks!
There is an app on market called quick boot that you could try. Hope it doesn't boot into fastboot too. Otherwise just try to flash an unrooted stock rom, that might work for what you need.

I use an app called Widgetsoid, which includes the ability to make a widget that can reboot your phone, Can be set up so that you choose how to reboot (Recovery, Power off, etc).
Requires SU access to reboot with the widget, and please be aware that when I had a couple different roms, the widget simply failed to reboot at all -- for example it works fine when I'm running Darkside Sense 4.0, failed to work at all on meXdroidMod Ghost Chili's rom.
Hope this might help ya out
I found an app called button remapper thanks to I forgot who.
It will remap power,but...
It will not work to turn the phone on,and once you use it to get to recovery,you will need the power button to scroll through,so you'd still be in trouble if its completely broke.
Pm me and I could send you the file when I'm on the computer tonight.
If you want to try.
Or search for button remapper on xda.I don't think its in the market.

Oh come on.
How about if you go to install zip from sdcard,or wipe/reset,did I miss something where you can use the trackpad to go back,when there is no go back option?or like I was saying,you would need to hit that trusty power button to ho back.
I don't know,I might have missed it after flashing about 500times.
But pretty sure I use the power button all the time to go back after wiping data,then cache,power to ho back,wipe dalvik,power to go back,install zip from sdcard,power to go back,then reboot system.
Have I been doing it wrong?

Getting a bit sidetracked here, I am trying to revert to stock ROM and cannot because the Power button is broken on this piece of crap and I cannot get to bootloader.
• adb reboot bootloader and that sends me into FASTBOOT, NOT bootloader and does not load image
• no option in Settings > Power or Settings > Applications to disable fastboot (I have gingerbread)
• using CWM recovered > Install zip from file does not work
Can anyone advise a way to revert to stock image without HBOOT, that actually works and does not require the power button?
P.S. this whole thing has really made be disenchanted with the mess that is android right now. Since it seems that it really android is not open or owned by google. Instead owned by the carriers. I should not feel like a criminal for wanting a basic android phone. Makes me almost want to scrap and get an iPhone.
Firstly, its not the Android OS that's the problem. Its your broken ass phone so calm down. If your thinking Android is not open, go ahead and get an iPhone and you'll see what a not open OS is really like.
Secondly...
I read you have Clockwork recovery installed. Flashing this image through Clockwork will at least make it look stock. It is said you will lose root but probably keep S-ON.

Why are you trying to revert to stock if you don't mind me asking? Are u sending it to HTC for them to fix it? They wont care if your rooted they will just wipe your phone and put in the mysense gingerbread rom. I highly advise u to contact HTC and check your warranty. I sent in NY CM7 mt4g and they fixed the power button for free.

Thanks, frustrated is all. Taking it out on Android OS, but really peeved at GOOG
- for having caved into the carriers by letting them bastardize the OS with their mods, forcing me to feel like criminal in modding and jumping through hoops to get a vastly better experience
- for not outbidding verizion on that wireless spectrum and becoming a carrier themselves
Was original N1 owner (first week) and will prob sqitch to galaxy nexus (as soon as they get on more carriers)
Thanks on the suggestions, tried to reflash through CWM several times and keeps giving me installation aborted.. will download again (in case is corrupted) and try again; Interesting other suggestion, will take a look at, but not much time, have to send back replacement tomor
Thx again
You can also try this. It is a nandroid restore somebody made. It seems a bit more involved because it looks like you need to use an older version of clockwork recovery. If I am correct you can find an older version of the recovery and flash it through rom manager, but dont quote me on that one.

When I had a MT4G and the EMMC chip died I hooked the phone to a 12 volt battery and fried it. I then called and told them I plugged the phone in to charge one night and the next morning it would not power on. They replaced it no questions asked and I never heard anything about it again.
My mom's power button went out as well. Tmo and HTC flat out refused a replacement MT4G, Saying it was a "known issue". I called them about 10 times total about this problem. They just want to sell me another phone. Full price. Since i've called them so many times they wont even do a Insurance claim.
If this is a "known problem" why the f isn't it being taken care of properly?
Has anyone else had this problem with customer service?
This is a stock htc tmobile mytouch 4gphone and it stuck on the white mytouch 4G screen. It stay on for a bit and it looks like static tv picture and then it reboots, After it reboots it goes back into the white screen and then it turns black and it has a picture of the phone with a green recycle symbol then it flash's and it another picture of the phone with a red triangle with exclamation point. when I pull the battery out and put it back in and try and go into (guess it like CWM) phone and hold the power button and the volume rocker button it go into recovery and when I go to factory reset and press the power button it wont do anything. can some one please help me with this.

I don't know if this will work but download the pd15img.zip for either 2.2 or 2.1 (sorry I forgot which the stock 2.x is) or if your on 2.3 download that one but the rom, not the radio. Before you do that format your SD card on the computer to fat32 and then try to install that but it will wipe every thing on your phone.

If you read that thread you'll find the answer to all of your questions. Stop panicking and do your research. Seriously. This phone has built in way to restore software problems. If the eMMC has crapped out or the bootloader is corrupt, then you're hosed. Otherwise, it's fixable.
Currently my phones volume rockers do not work. I've been running on an old ROM that seems to be slowing down,requiring me to reboot more frequently. I'd really like to update to a newer ROM, but I'm worried if I have any issues I can't force my phone into recovery with the power button + volume down combo.
I am very close to just doing an insurance claim on this though. I have a crack on the bottom right of my phone too. That way I can hop on the T-Mobile Jump program

I think I was more worried about if my ROM install didn't go well and it won't boot all together. Before I could still just go into recovery and re-install. If that happens now? adb recovery?
Hmm. Thinking more. As long as a rom boots you are ok. But if you got stuck at a boot loop before you can use adb, you are screwed
