Stuck after task 29

hi all,
I was running a miui rom when I messed up with a sd card partition. Magldr was acting funny afterwards so i decided to task 29. After the process completed the phone would always get stuck on the stick together screen. I have tried soft and hard reset but it didn't work.
Here some info on my phone:
Tmous HD2
Radio: 2.15.20.14
Rom: myMIUI 14 B3
HSPL: 2.08
I searched for a solution and this was close: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10644926&postcount=4
But my power button is working fine and so are the volume buttons. I just can't get into the bootloader screen.
Any help is much appreciated.

Tas29 removed magldr. You need to reinstall it. Power off your phone, hold the volume down button and boot up. then reinstall magldr.

Remove battery.
Wait 10 seconds
Replace battery
HOLD VOLUME DOWN BUTTON
while holding volume down button
Press and hold power button
IF above doesnt work (i dont see why not) then you have some other error. My first guess would be volume rocker not working

You don't need to hold power button, it's only the volume down button that triggers the bootloader.

Thanks for the tips, I think my volume down button doesn't work. Before task 29 it would sometimes not work in magldr but it would work fine in recovery.
Should I get it repaired or get a new phone?

Then I would say do it yourself. When you press the volume down button, can you hear it clicking?

Yes it clicks.
Also another observation: when I put the phone to charge, the orange light turns on as usual but I can't turn on the phone. When I unplug it the orange light stays on. It only goes away if i pull the battery.

Sounds like a ribbon problem then.. i guess you have to tear it open and perform surgery

I hoped it wouldn't come to surgery but I guess there is no other choice.
Thank you for your help and anyone else who helped

stuck

on black screen with white google and unlocked padlock,modaco rom got aborted and now ive got nothing,any ideas of a way round this,thanks

should say i can get into recovery but there is nothing in there to recover:silly:i have just downloaded the "nakasi" file but dont know how to go about getting it on my nexus 7 so i can flash it,any ideas

there must be one clever person on here :cryingn a side note has anybody tried WSGunbricker??

Hold down the power button until it shuts off. Then plug it into your computer.
Then turn it on and right away press the power button and both volume buttons at the same time.
Then use the volume buttons to navigate to recovery and then you should be able to try flashing the rom again.

Concerns about flashing ROMs - what happens if bootloop?

Sorry stupid question but the only thing I am concerned about ist the unremoveable battery.. what happens if you get an bootloop after flashing a ROM? Is there something like a reset button? do I have to use a screwdriver? Do I have to wait till battery drains completely?

If it bootloops you wipe and reflash!

Try holding the power button on your Nexus 7. I hope that answer your question.

Sorry i meant hanging on boot I had this the other day with my Nexus S.. The only solution was to remove the battery..

The One X has a function where holding the power button for 10 seconds or so performs a reboot. I'd imagine a similar system will be in place here

He asks how can he get back to the recovery.
I think long press on the power, anyway, you can use adb

Hold the power button to reboot, once the screen goes off, hold the volume keys and it will boot recovery/bootloader.

You can still input ADB commands during a bootloop, just type "adb reboot recovery" and you should be fine.

Hold down power button for 10 seconds, google thinks about the hacking community when it makes irremovable batteries.
Then 3 button combo into bootloader then choose recovery.
*if its anything like Nexus 7's bootloader*

Thanks a lot too all of us.. sometimes a solution can be so easy Tried that thing with holding before but I think I held the button not long enough..

Boot Failed, No Command, No ABD

My wife turned on her N7 this morning and it wouldn't boot. Instead there is the droid guy with red triangle saying no command.
Can't use WUG since ADB returns no devices. Tried several computers but none see the device. Unplugged the battery but still the same issue.
Appreciate your help

Turn off the device(Hold the power button for about 10sec) if it's on. Now hold all three hardware buttons(Power, volume UO & Down) togather till the google logo shows up, and this will tur your device on into fastboot mode. Now you should be able to to find your devece from your PC(if driver installed). If you ment "Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit" by "WUG" than you probably want to use Flash stock + Unroot (Can't boot up).

Thanks I tried this. When I try to turn it off it immediately reboots. Tried holding the 3 buttons when this occurs, but the result is still the dead droid with no command under it. The screen where you can select reboot recovery, bootloader never comes up. Confirmed fastboot isn't working.
Any other ideas?

It's not 3 buttons, only power and down volume.

Got the angry droid doing this. One I turned the power on, held the volume key up and once again with the volume key down. What am I doing something wrong?

Even if you just tap the volume button on the Google screen? It should have the same result normally, but something is funky.

Something is really funky. I did the same exercise with another N7 and got into bootloader with no issues
Think it's worth letting the battery die and start over? Grasping at straws

Perhaps, just be aware that running the battery all the way down can also cause booting issues.

swipe or double tap to unlock

My power button is starting to fail. What ROM do you recommend that has swipe or double tap to unlock? Also, how is the battery consumption on those?
Any suggestion too in powering the phone without holding the power button? Like say holding the volume button before plugging in the charger would make it boot. Is there anything like that?
I am currently unrooted and using stock (just got updated too). Any thoughts is appreciated.

Mahdi ROM is good, and boot level hardware remapping is almost impossible and would require reconfiguring the wires. Sorry bro

Thanks! Does it have built in swipe to unlock?

This does not belong in the Development Section, please read the Forum Rules on posting. Thank you and moved here....

I use Hellscore, and it has swipe to lock/unlock. Quite simple to use too. And as for the power-on part, that would require rewiring the phone itself. IMHO it would be cheaper to get the faulty power button itself replaced.

Yea, I would like to have it replaced too but I'm on a long term volunteering work outside my country and I can't leave for the next 9 months, hence the question. I don't trust the courier too so yea.. Anyhow, I remember back in my myTouch 4G days after installing custom recovery it would power on whenever I plug it. It turns out as a bug on the new recovery which was quickly patch on the next version. I never thought I would want a bug on my phone this bad. Haha
Anyway, thanks for all the suggestions!

Just fix the button bro.
if you're here on XDA you probably love your N4, you should fix it, shouldn't be a very expensive fix.
