[Q] Volume Up + Power???

Hello everyone,
Was hoping someone could explain what the button combination "Volume Up + Power" actually does..??
I tried it just a few moments ago and the only thing that happened was it vibrated, nothing showed up on the screen (as if it were off), and the LED (orange) kept blinking. No buttons worked, so had to pull the battery.
Before doing that, I decided to attach the phone to my computer via USB. It asks for drivers. Which drivers though? I already have all the drivers installed for my phone...
Anyway, the main question here is..what is this mysterious mode the phone goes into when powering on the device using volume UP??
Just curious =P

What ROM are you running?

I'm running [KANG]CM 7.2.RC0.
The latest one.
I didn't think the ROMs had anything to do with the power and volume combinations when starting up the phone.
...did I forget to mention that in my original post? Basically, my phone is not on when I'm trying the button combos..

youve gotta hold volume down + power button to access fastboot. volume up + power button only works for the stock recovery

Ooooh. I thought this was in ROM. You meant while powered off. Ok. Sorry.

Well I know about volume down + power
I was just curious about what the volume up combo did. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
@estallings15,
it was actually my fault for not being clear enough in my original post. My bad.
I was experimenting to see what each button combo with the power button did while the phone was off..

HD2 Frozen DFT screen!!!

Hey i have the same problem. Recently I bought this phone off of craigslist. The phone goes to the DFT screen and its on aMAGDLR v1.11. I tried to reset it but it doesnt go to the multi colored screen. I bought a new micro sd but that didnt work. It also cant connect to my computer. There isnt wrong with the charging port because the light goes on when its connected. PLEASE HELP?!

Did you properly press volume down + power button.

Yes I did that and it keeps going to the magdlr screen. when I press the vol up and down + power it shows up to boot menu for a second but I cant choose them.

I dont think its ripped b/c when I pressed it, it works. I looked up a few things about this, would I need a rom on my sd card to make it normal?? Any help or suggestions?

You sure you can't get into tri-color screen?... just double checking.... do you know how to go into boot loader??? Not questioning your intelligence

MT4G Dead?

Phone vibrates 5 times and has a green LED light that stays on. I was running Dark Unicorn v2 before this. It was on Safe Mode. I rebooted into recovery, and now the phone vibrates 5 times and a green light appears. VOL DOWN + POWER does not do anything besides that green-light five-vibration thingy.
Any ideas?

From what I read before, it's not dead. It put itself on some kind of mode. I don't remember where I read about this but let me do a quick search. In the mean time, have you tried adb?

I've been reading a lot about it. There was something called safe mode. From what I've read, it seems to be a problem with my volume button (perhaps the phone believe the volume up button is being pressed).
I cannot use ADB as the computer does not detect the phone/SD.

Does your volume up button feel like it's going out? Also try a battery pull then Vol down + power

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "going out", but from the outside there doesn't seem to be anything physically wrong with it. I also never had any problems with it while I was using the phone normally.
The battery pull and VOL DOWN + POWER gives me five vibrations, and then a permanent green LED. I can't get the phone exchanged because I'm in India, and my warranty has already expired.

Well sorry but I'm out of ideas man. I'll keep searching for an answer and if I find something I'll let you know. Hopefully someone else sees this and has a solution

Thank you for the information. Guess there's really nothing I can do to save my phone then...
Well, at least I will be out of the T-Mobile contract in February. Then I can get a new phone, and use a temporary crappy one until then.

This happened to me and I kept trying to boot into clockworkmod recovery. No matter what I did, it wanted to either do as you stated above or it would immediately try to load off the sd card my pd15img. I simply turned off the phone, pulled the sd card out, and when the phone went to the hboot screen with a volume up and power, or volume down, I then put the sd card back in and selected recovery. I don't know if this is what's wrong with yours, but I definitely had that 5 vibration flashing light issue.

If you can get to the hboot screen you should load the pd15img. It would hopefully start you over un rooted

What does the phone do when its plugged in? I only ask because mine was doing this same thing and it turns out it was a problem with my battery. I got a new one from Ebay for about 5 bucks but I also convinced T-Mobile that it was my phone and got it replaced. I had Insurance on it of course.

I had that happen once also, I did the following and it booted up.
1) take battery out for at least 15min, (I don't know why, but it worked)
2) then do the volume-down+ power it should come right back up.
3) If I remember right, the battery that was in the unit giving me problems, was less than 20%, that very well could have been the real issue. Find a way to charge the battery then pull it.

1 + 2 tried, but didn't work.
Maybe I will try it with a new battery. Thanks for the information guys!
Edit: I do not have insurance (1 year is done)

The PD15IMG I had on my card was the original stock Ginger bread I think and I would had to have re-rooted.

Problem is, my phone doesn't even go into recovery...or hboot.

Any solutions yet? I've been reading this and have done everything here.
I've bought myself a new replacement battery off eBay. Charged it over night and still nothing. Powering up the phone, it vibrates. After powering up the phone and left it on for 5 min, I waited to see if it'll recognize my phone through the computer so I can check if it's the phone or the lcd, but still nothing. Any suggestion will be really grateful! And I have no insurance. Bought it used over Craigslist.
Sorry, I'm not trying to jack anyone's thread. Just didn't want to start a new one with almost the same problem.

I think your volume button is stuck was reading somewhere that someone fixed it by taking his volume button apart and it was stuck pressing up I think and that's y it was doing that not sure if this would help u at all but you might wanna try that

Read that post it shows that the volume up button is stuck. The vibrations happens to me to if I power my phone down and then hold the up button and try and power on so I think that's the cause of all this

have you tried force rebooting your phone? long press the power button for about 10-15 seconds. after it powers off and reboots, check to see if that spot is working again.

force reboot your phone again, if you press down volume down, and hold it down as its rebooting, itll boot into the bootloader. you can get into recovery or power off your phone there. there are also free apps that will power off/reboot/reboot recovery/reboot bootloader.

I powered it of and back on. Screen not responsive grr. I can't unlock my phone

[Q] MyTouch boot to bootloader

I work for a company that repairs cellphones:
Had to replace the digi on an HTC MyTouch 4G. Before the repair, phone was booting to bootloader. Same after.
Thing is, I know that the typical response will be "the volume button is stuck," but ... I replaced the whole power flew w/ volume buttons. Is it possible that the owner botched a rooting job, causing this? It's possible they're going to try to make this a warranty-covered repair, so I want to gather a bit more information before I give them a call.

The I don't really know much but if they messed with files it should bootloop. If they messed with a lot then it would have gotten stuck at the splash screen.
I don't really know why it boots into bootloader. If you look at the top does it say s-off or s-on?

It says "s-on". I don't know much about software issues. I fix the hardware stuff. All google is telling me is that I should replace the volume buttons. Did that, didn't help.

Can you reboot? Doesn't it sat reboot there.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app

the buttons are all unresponsive. I can't select anything from the menu.
I talked to the customer earlier, who said that this started after he dropped his phone. I'm going to assume for now that it -is- the volume buttons, and maybe the ones I tried yesterday were bad as well. Ordering new parts- we'll see how it goes.

Try plugging in your phone to the computer.
Open adb
Turn your phone on
Type adb reboot
