Well if you unrooted just re-root it and you should be set.

Well s=on is different then being unrooted.
you can have s=on and be rooted and has s=off and be unrooted. You never stated you went and turned s=on.
have you tried flashing the PD15IMG via the HBoot screen?

MT4G screen not working.

Hello,
My wife's rooted MT4G touch screen is not responding to touch anymore nor is the trackpad working. I don't know what happen but I'm going to try to get a warranty replacement, but I need to unroot and turn s on before I send it in. My question how can I do this if the screen and trackpad are not working? Is it possible through sdk and if so, anyone can provide me instructions ? Thanks on advanced.

Sounds like a defective digitizer. Considering it's a hardware issue the warranty would still apply

Hmmm, yeah but don't I have to unroot it first? I thought if you sent it in rooted, it voids the warranty ?

Rooting voids the warranty when it comes to software. Defective hardware is still covered. Doesn't hurt to unroot though. Toss pd15img on ur SD card and restore it

Ah okay, thanks. I search forum for pd15img, will that turn s back on or does T-Mobile not care?
Oh if the trackpad is not working, how can I restore it?? Possible to do it from sdk ?

If you got s-off, i don't think unrooting it will undo that. there are specific guides to turn s back ON but i doubt you would be needing that.
Good luck though.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V4NAODYZ
that is pd15img, the link shared by theunlockr so pretty good source. It will revert all parts of your system back to stock, so it should be s-on after.
This isn't meant to fix the screen, and the touchscreen isn't required to use pd15img. It is only for extra protection against getting your warranty rejected even though it's a hardware issue.
this guide will help

Hello,
Thank you, I was able to get the phone to see pd15img and is started doing it's thing, and I went to reboot it. Now I get hboot screen that kind of looks like this:
GLAVIER PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0-86.0000
MICROP-0429
RADIO-25.03.02.26_M

[FASTBOOT] <--- Shaded red with white letters.
<VOL UP> to previous item
<VOL DOWN> to next item
<POWER> to select item
[BOOTLOADER] <--- Shaded blue with white letters.
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
I tried all the buttons and it is like they are not responsive, I know for fact the volume buttons work because I had to use them to select for the .zip file. I also uses the key tester in clockwork recovery to check and see if my keys were working or not. I have tried pulling the battery out, so I am not sure if I missed a step??
Thanks,
Kei

EDITED:
It seems I forked up. I didn't realize it but it is my own fault for being in a hurry. I did use the gfree method on my phone by moving the gfree files to where the guide told me and then used a terminal emulator to execute gfree. Since I already flash PD15img.zip, and I am screwed or is there something I can possibly do so that I can properly unroot by undoing gfree? If I got to learn to use adb, I will! I appreciate your help in advance!

well with that I assume you did gfree to root. I may be wrong but I think you need to use to touchscreen to revert that completely. Just try to get a replacement with the current setup.

Guess what, the screen started working but track pad is not as far as I can click but not move. So with that new development, anyway to get out of hboot?
Thanks for all of your help.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

well... you can just reboot normally, right? in that case, put the part7backup file wherever you're supposed to. I didn't do the gfree method, so i dont really know how to do it. that guide i posted earlier should have proper instructions, though.

Still having issues, I am hoping someone can help me please!
I got hboot to respond by reseating the sd-card, it just continues to detect pd.zip file and will flash it successfully but after it reboots, it just goes back into hboot.
Would this post help me fix my problem? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12899770&postcount=4

The only thing I can think of is, buy an sdcard reader if your pc doesn't already have one intergrated. Take out your sdcard, put it in the card reader, plug it to your pc and format the sdcard. Redownload the pd15 zip via pc and copy it to the sdcard.
Insert back your sdcard. Boot into hboot and let it do its thing. When its done press vol up for yes to update and when that's done power to reboot. If it reboots fine then you're good to go.
If that still sends you to hboot after reboot, the last thing I can think off to do is just remove your sdcard and boot into hboot. That way the phone won't read anything and let you choose and boot into the stock recovery(it should be blue lettering) from recovery just wipe data factory reset and reboot again see what happens then.

Power button not working, how can I flash roms?

I have been trying to get my friends MYTOUCH 4G back to stock in order to replace it with WARRANTY. The POWER button is NOT working, so I am having a heck of a time with this. I also did the Gfree unroot method but it's rebooting into Fastboot and since the POWER button is broken, I am unable to select anything in order to get it to HBoot (as instructed with the Gfree unroot method) I need to reboot into HBoot in order for it to read the PG15IMG zip. Using ADB, what is the COMMAND prompt to get it to the HBOOT (not FASTBOOT), as "ADB reboot bootloader" is rebooting into FASTBOOT?
And if this is NOT possible, I would further ask how would one flash a rom using ADB commands?
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA Premium App

to go to hboot, you have to click the bootloader button, but i am not sure how you would be able to do that since your power button is broken. my best suggestion is to try messing with the power button while highlighting bootloader.

That's the issue, the POWER BUTTON DOES NOT WORK. But thanks for the suggestion.
Anyone else? I know there has got to be a ADB command to get into HBOOT. Or, if that is not possible, how can I get ADB to read the PG15IMG.zip to put it back to stock, PLEASE!

I'm sorry, but you're asking for non-existent things.

Non-existent things? You mean to tell me there is NO WAY to get into Hboot using adb commands? That doesn't sound correct to me.
If that is not possible, how can I flash the PG15IMG.zip using the ADB commands? There has got to be a way to flash a rom if the Power button doesn't work. You can do EVERYTHING with ADB, I can't imagine not being able to do this too.

EXACTLY... But when I boot using the following ADB Command "adb reboot bootloader" it is not booting into HBoot, it boots into FASTboot which does NOT read the pd15img.zip
How can I flash this using ADB commands, so that the device may be returned as it was STOCK.

might actually work. You need to be in what most would consider fastboot. And that program looks to have "reboot into fastboot". but i'm not sure if it's actually going to, or just wording.

Otherwise just ask around on how to brick the phone, may be a simple adb command or a few battery pulls while doing something in recovery

The phone appears to be pretty new. I think the [OP] is wanting to exchange the phone under warranty due to a malfunctioning button rather than pay 130$ for a warranty claim.

This is how you do everything, without a power button.
Recovery
Code:
adb reboot recovery
bootloader
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot
hold down the back button and boot your phone. A reboot will work, just have perfect timing when you hit and hold the back button.
Power on phone
Clockwork recovery has a bug that automatically boots to recovery. The latest update still has the bug, but the screen stays off. do this
Code:
> adb devices
List of attatched devices
(serial number) recovery
adb shell reboot
There, all the magic you need.

Yes, this is correct. I have warranty on it, and my replacement arrives today. I need to get it to stock so that I am not charged for a RESTOCKING Fee due to a voided warranty.

After reading your posts I understand a lil bit better. Your kind of screwed but one option you can do is a bunch of pages back you will find a completely stock rom that is flashable throught recovery. It still has root and obviously wont give you s-on. However, atleast its stock so they don't notice it as easily if they turn the device on.
Also I returned 1 phone that was still rooted with a custom rom and didn't get charged. I also have heard of other members doing the same so don't worry to much

you cannot flash the PD15IMG.zip via recovery. It can only be done via hBoot.
IIRC there is a ROM that someone pulled of a stock [no one logged into] MyTouch4G so everything will look the same.

Condolences, your phone is officially dead. Nothing you can do. Replace it.

[Q] Trying to restore nandroid backup using adb

I am trying to restore my phone using adb because my phone isn't working and I can't restore it to stuck using the PD15IMG.zi because I get the FAIL-PU error everytime. So when I try to restore my nandroid backup using adb I get all the way to the point where it tells me to type in "cd nandroid-mobile.sh". When I type this in it says that nandroid-mobile.sh could not be found. What else can I do?

Impretty sure the fail pu error means you need a new phone.
I dont think there is a way around that problem
