Stuck at hboot fastboot - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm not sure what happened to my friends phone but apparently it just resetted out of no where and is stuck in fastboot i think i forget which one... The one with less option.
the keys don't work.i can't click on any options with power nor move with arrow keys.
I thought I'll just load up the pd15img and it'll be good. But nope screen is stuck at fastboot without any changes.
It is s-off but 86 bootloader idk why it's not 85 but whatever.
I think it might be bricked. I'm going to see if adb detects it later tonight. If it can are there any ways to fix it?

hm well, sounds like the volume buttons are broken, that's why it always reboots into the bootloader, the phone thinks that the volume down button is pressed in. what if you connected it to computer and type?
Code:
fastboot reboot

Oh wow, noticed that my reply didn't go through.
anyways quick update. Fixed it. it wasn't the volume button. volume button would lead to hboot i think. this went straight to fastboot. I imagine it has something to do with his back button (was working, stopped working when this happened, i fixed it somehow idk)
but anyways for future reference if you get stuck at fastboot and you can't move it
Click HOME, this enables your keys
go to recovery and flash a rom.
oh i wanted to add, for some reason, his phone was like wiped clean. no os or rom. so i had to flash him a new one.

glad you fixed it
and thanks for the tip

thanks, but the home button do not enable the buttons for me

This can be caused by a stuck VolumeDown button, and in this case the Home button won't help.

Hi,
I got the same problem with my HTC Desire Z, when I turn it on, it run on fastboot and no keys respond so I'm unable to boot the phone.
If I turn it on with Vol down button hold, the phone boot on the Hboot screen and the keys don't work on this screen too...
Unfortunately, this happen yesterday night... and since this yesterday morning, the home button of my device broke down... It sounds like I'm f**ked...
Is there a way to pass througt fastboot by using the adb ? (I'm not sure my device will be recognized byt adb on fastboot mode...)
Thanks

I've used the search function by looking for no keys responding on fastboot screen and that bring me here, in this case, nevermind the device, problem is the same.
It should be a stuck button, but I can access to fastboot or hboot depending on pressing the Vol Down button or not. Maybe the problem come from the not working center button of the Desire Z, I'll try it.

Can't get to recovery image [Android with warning sign appears]

Hi everybody,
This is my first post here and I seriously hope someone can help me.
I unlocked my phone and was attempting to root it and flash Cyanogen's MOD. I flashed Armon_RA's recovery image into recovery partition using fastboot, but when I try to access it I'm getting an image of an android with a warning sign, which I can't post yet because I'm a newbie and mod's have to check my account... Once there the only thing I can do is remove the battery.
I've downloaded Armon_RA's img twice and from different sources and the same thing happens.
In terms of what I did, I tried to follow a step-by-step guide at androidandme.com, combined with Cyanogen's official Wiki.
I appreciate any kind of help,
Thanks!
BTW I'm on Ubuntu 9.10, in case it helps.
Took me like 4 times to flash the recovery before I got the care bear screen. Just keep flashing!
I just got it working right now and was about to post it had been fixed.
Thanks anyway!
Sorry for undigging this thread, but this thread is the first one which shows up when I searched for "android recovery warning".
I have spent the entire day trying to fix my Nexus One's recovery (I got stuck on the screen with a warning sign as well), with no success. Trust me, I tried (almost) everything possible to flash a new recovery/restore stock recovery.
What did work, though, was running fastboot flash recovery recovery.img 5 times in a row (remember to boot your phone in fastboot mode before sending these commands). That did the trick, and now I'm able to boot in recovery mode (Clockworkmod, by the way).
Thanks!
That warning ! IS the stock recovery.

So how can I do a hard reset from this stock recovery when there's no menu commands, how do you use the stock recovery?
I have an unrooted S On nexus one that I need to hard reset because it boot loops for some reason, but didn't want to have to root it.

Push the power button and volume up buttons at the same time
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
Two buttons together ...
It is a common misconception that you have to push two buttons at the same time to activate some features. Trying to push them at exactly the same time is hit and miss and causes people to have issues.
In every case the combination is always hold one button down and then click the other button once ... much easier than clicking both together.
In this case I believe the combo is hold down power and then click Volume-Up once. (I may have it reversed).

It most likely is reversed. At least when you want to access the bootloader you want to hold down the volume down button (or maybe it is either volume button) and then turn on the phone. And with fastboot, you hold down the trackball as you turn on the phone.
I believe the volume up and powerbutton at the same was to "ok" the phone to apply an update.zip that was stored on the card (I remember doing that when I was running the Froyo build leaks from google).

OzCDN is correct, it is: hold down the power button and press volume up (the reverse does not work), but pushing them both together still works

I cannot access Bootloader?

Volume - and Power Button just doesn't work.
I am following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769 and got to the "Flashing a Radio" section and I'm stuck.
What am I doing wrong?
Got it working.
Had to take the battery out to make the unit actually turn off fully.
Don't know.
What happens when you press the power button whilst holding the vol- key?

That's fastboot option in Android. It doesn't turn off the phone completely so naturally you cannot access bootloader.
In Android 2.3 it's located at Settings->Power, so turn it off there. In FroYo it's somewhere else, can't remember where.
I cant access anything now
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Go to setting and turn off fast boot

Need help fixing friends Mytouch 4g

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.
Sent from my HTC Glacier Sense 3.5 using xda premium
Both volume buttons and the power button do not work. Can the other buttons also be used to navigate in the bootloader?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk
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?

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.

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?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk
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 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.

[Q] Cant Get into AP Fast Boot!

I accidentally,... . unknowingly wiped the RED "system" button in Safestrap 3.12 on my Droid RAZR M today. (I was suppose to be wiping the cash and dalvik, but missed) I'm a retard I know. :crying:
Now I cant get into AP Fastboot to restore the phone from this hard brick!
When I press the power button along with the volume buttons, the only thing that happens is the red Motorola 'M" appears for a few seconds then the safe strap screen appears with the little sad robot, but that's it no AP Fastboot. Pressing the on screen buttons to enter Safestrap Recover do not respond. Oh boy I'm afraid I really did it this time. Its on the charger but i don't know if its even charging with out as OS?
Battery power was at 60% before i bricked it (i think). RSD Lite or my PC for that matter don't even see the phone when its plugged in.
Can this be saved? Or do I need to take a trip down to the Verizon Wireless store?

Try holding power & volume down until the screen flickers then hold power and both volume buttons. You gotta be quick
If your boot loader is locked you won't be able to fast boot back until the new fast boot files come out though if your on 4.1.2

New to this, i accidentally the whole phone, same problem im in AP fastboot but registers as Device Locked
run through it on windows OS but says 'Fastboot" is not recognized as an internal or external command" and doesnt reboot as said
this process took 1min
Halp
This thread saved my life, then killed me. The suggestion about the different keys was spot on, i got into fast boot mode, then ran that utility. It totally failed me, I must have killed my phone pretty dead, and now there are no more key combos (the suggested one worked at first but now its just making the screen go blank) to try to get back into fast boot to try again. any more suggestions? on the up side verizon just pushed that update so i figure i can blame that to attempt an exchange
Did you take the update before using that utility? If you did, which version did you use? If you were already updated, then you needed to run 1.20. If you ran the wrong utility, that will cause issues. Now, since you can't boot, it sounds like your battery is dead. When you get to the blank screen, plug it in and leave it to charge for a while.
I'm no expert by any means but I'll try to help as best i can. If not me I'm confident someone else will. Now, I apologize because I didn't understand your original post.
Could you elaborate a little more please?
1. What were you trying to do with your phone prior to things going wrong, if they went wrong at all.
2. you mentioned AP Fastboot. So IM going to assume that at least you can access it. (not the same problem that I was having) that's a good thing! lol
3. Are you utilizing a utility like the one by Matt? Or are you doing something else? Like flashing firmware etc.
4. What were you in Fastboot for? What were your intentions?
I hope this doesn't come over a condescending. Just trying to get a Clearer understand of your issue so we can help.

Also if i force it off (with power button and volume button) It just goes back to the Red M.

Holding the combination of buttons will only cause it to reboot, every time. Holding the power button down will make it shutdown. With that being said, what was your battery like before you started all of this? If it's below 50%, you're going to have a hard time. Shut the phone down and charge the battery ovenight, prior to attempting to fastboot.
If your battery is good, then you can fastboot. Hold all three buttons down, until you get the phone to power off. As soon as power goes off, you'll see a quick line flash at the top of the screen. As soon as you see this flash, quickly let go of the power button and then re-press it. If you got it right, you'll go into the fastboot menu. If you got it wrong, it will attempt to reboot. If it reboots, just try the button combo again. Once you get into the fastboot menu, use the vol- key to get to the option you need, and then hit the vol+ to choose that option.

Okay, Remove your battery and reinsert it.
Dont press the power button yet.
Now connect your device to a PC with HTC USB drivers installed and enter the following commands.
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
If you are able to get into bootloader, let me know.

There!!!!
That's your problem.
When the phone is off and and u press volume up and power, it boots the device in safe mode.
Safe mode disables 3rd party apps at boot up.
Now this only works with stock ROMs and some custom sense ROMs.
If your ROM doesn't support this feature, it would boot into this black screen and begin to flash the red led.
So when the up key gets stuck or malfunctioned it causes the device to boot into that mode at start up.
But what I can rap my head around is why it won't boot into bootloader when you use adb.
