So is this information correct?

I ve read that those replacement new vibrants with hardware keys disabled wont get in to download mode once you are stuck on that computer and the phone icon screen. There is no way to get out of it am i right?

anyone?....

I replaced my phone because of that and I couldn't get it back to download mode.

I guess you just answered your own question.
Really, though, this question has been answered a hundred times on this very forum. Maybe people are tired of new threads popping up constantly asking other people to take time to do research for people that obviously can't be bothered to do it for themselves. Search first, then ask if you can't find an answer...preferably in a relevant existing thread instead of creating 10 new ones. The other users of this forum aren't here to be your free research monkeys.
...and again, insulting people isn't going to make them want to help you. If you want people to be friendly and considerate you need to give that back...it's a 2-way street. Nobody here is being paid.
*prepares to be flamed by the OP...again*

If you have root then you can use adb to get into download mode by typing "reboot download mode", if you don't have root then you can't use adb.

are you retarded???
you obviously share the same sickness as the OP "cantgoogleshitaphobia"
you can too use adb without root, how do you think people locked out of hardware recovery are even getting rooted in the first place? (and dont say one click root cause if you knew anything then youd also know that program uses adb as well)
the only thing you have to do to get adb to work is turn on usb debugging and have good drivers installed.
to the OP just cause you ask a question dont mean crap, you dont come in demanding a response to a question that has been answered time and time again in this very forum. I usually find posts like these and still help out with a link if its already on my subscribe list but your just an ass for the way youve gone about it, sorry not everyone works within your mighty time frame

If your phone is on the phone != computer screen and you can't enter download mode via the volume keys - you're bricked. You can't fix it unless you can enter download mode, and some versions of the phone you can't enter download or recovery modes via any keypresses. Since you're on the phone != computer screen, you also can't connect to the phone with ADB - so you're boned like a few other people here.

ok thanks. i was just frustrated and nervous but tmobile is sending me another one. this phone was on vibrant rom and rooted if they find out is there going to be a issue? i am thinking that only way to get back is flashing stock odin again and once they do that it wont be rooted again. so i should be good. what do you think.

Yes should flash the original rom cuz if Tmo find out they are going to make u paid the original price of the phone not the discount or insurance price either. Reason I know cuz I know several people that work with Tmo corporate store not affiliate stores.

I am fairly new here but how can you flash with odin if you can't get in DL mode? And if you could flash stock, why didn't you in the first place and start over? Just tossing out some ideas.

Mytouch 4g stuck at boot..

Hi,
I have this brand new Mytouch 4g black, used it for a couple of days and did a factory reset. It booted up fine after that. We were out of town a couple of days during which I powered off the phone.
When we came back try to power up, the phone got stuck at the hboot screen(with geen, red letters), I did factory reset like 10 times and still stuck in the same screen and not booting up. Can anyone help me what's going on with my phone. Is this a software issue or a something wrong with the phone?
thanks in advance,
TZ

Please post questions in Q&A section

Isn't this the Q&A section?

Did you root you phone? If so, then you need to do a complete wipe through recovery.
If you're stock - go back to the store you bought it from and have them replace the device, something is borked.

Hi,
Here's my situation. I have bought this phone outside T-Mobile and so they have disagreed to give me an exchange. The only options I have now is to either figure out myself if the phone can be somehow fixed or sell the phone for parts on ebay. This was running on stock(unrooted) and was working fine before this happened.
Here's the screen shot of phone where it's getting stuck, can anyone advice me if this can be reflashed?
http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/PL6S5m9nSQ4LCs_4Cwjqdw?feat=directlink
No matter what option I select and click, it's coming back to the same screen and getting stuck.
Thanks for all of your suggestions,
TZ

I'm taking a stab in the dark here, but maybe your volume down button is stuck?
and its sending the phone into hboot every time?

Nope I've checked that, the volume buttons are good. Also when I hooked the USb cable to computer(windows 7), the Windows is recognizing it and installed the HTC boot loader. Can reflashing with stock kernel helps? If so, how to do that?

Maybe try flashing one of the roms in the dev section?

Not going to fly, S-ON here. I still think it may be the volume button though. Did you try running
Code:
fastboot reboot
See what that does.

Can you tell me if that command works on windows 7 from command prompt? Do I need to have android sdk installed or any other soiftware?

Yes, you need adb installed with fastboot binary.

The thread originates in another section. They are just kind enough to move it quickly to the correct section.

As far to the best of my knowledge, I have posed the question in Q&A section to start with.

I did try the "flashboot reboot" command and the phone rebooted and came back to the same screen.
thanks.

Is there anyway he can get a boot log? to see why it goes into hboot?

Also it is recognizing my sd card...is there any way that I can flash a rom from sd card? Another thing to confess that before it goes into limbo mode, I've noticed some moisture around the phone.

I bought my phone off craigslist and TMO has already exchanged it once. Trying calling and getting a different rep. The phone has a 1 year warranty. Try calling HTC also.

Thanks for your suggestion, I've tried with the T-Mobile folks and gave up. The only problem is that I am currently not a customer of T-Mobile!

Ah well that makes a difference. You might try HTC.

Clockwork Mod without USB

I know this is possible depending on the phone, but on the Vibrant I have not found a way to install clockwork mod without using USB. I saw that mobile odin was an option for some samsung phones but not the Vibrant.
My usb port is dead, no warranty etc. I bought it for 70 in like new condition with knowledge that the port was bad. I figured that the port needed to be soldered back down. But after taking the phone apart, I don't see anything wrong with it. Its not loose on the board, but the socket itself is loose inside.
The baseband is KA2 Eclair. I got it rooted with the oneclickroot tool.
On a side note, the phone also came with pictures of the seller and all his girlfriends naked . Not pretty

So let me review what you want to do, you want to install CWR without having a USB port. Seems easy enough.
Firstly, find a app that will let you connect to your phone to your computer, apps like Dropbox, Box, and this app i put up on these forums a bit ago will do more than just the job HERE
install one of those, which ever you like. I'll use the MIUI File Manager as a example throughout this post because its the easiest.
Open the app, go to the FTP and start service, go to your computer open MY COMPUTER and type in ftp://all your #'s
Put this file in your ROOT meaning just in sdcard/ no folders just drag and drop it in there. DO NOT RENAME,EXTRACT OR ANYTHING TO THE .ZIP just put it in the sdcard/
*Thanks for the CWR file from Woodrube and S15*
Now go into Recovery mode on your phone
Power + Volume up and down ( i think )
Press REINSTALL PACKAGES
It SHOULD say something like booting into clockwork recovery.
it will reboot, if it goes to clock work recovery, GREAT. If not, press Reinstall Packages AGAIN and it should directly go there.
Just reply if i'm explaining something wrong or if you need more help.

Or you could just download and install rom manager and flash clockworkmod through there. No offense xriderx, just seems like a lot of work to just install cwr that a single app can do as well.

To each his own, Rom Manager never has worked great on my phone. Even bricked it completely once and I don't believe it was user error.

Relevant guide, +1 cookie. One suggestion though, organize the steps a bit further so there is a clear distinction between steps.
ie:
• Now go into Recovery mode on your phone, Power + Volume up and down ( i think )
• Press REINSTALL PACKAGES. It SHOULD say something like booting into clockwork recovery. it will reboot, if it goes to clock work recovery, GREAT. If not, press Reinstall Packages AGAIN and it should directly go there."
Anywho, to the OP: Since it's rooted, why aren't you simply downloading ROM Manager from the market and installing CWR from there?
edit/ beaten

Don't get me wrong, your tutorial is spot on, I just never had any problems with ROM manager before so I threw it out as a suggestion.

As far as the port goes, Eugene, Krylon360 and myself all fried ours when we were porting the V4G - so you may not visibly see anything wrong with it at all.

Thanks guys, I ended up semi bricking the phone . Even though it was my 6th droid device. Not sure what I did, I was in recovery and everything was working, then went to reboot and it was stuck on the Galaxy screen, could no longer get into recovery. Too bad that USB port was out . I ended up just reselling it to a guy for parts and still made some profit off it. Shame though, that AMOLED display was beautiful. Ended up getting a G2X yesterday for 195, just missed one at 150 on craigslist. Already got it up with CM 7.2 with a minor OC. Hopefully towards then end of this year I might be able to get a Galaxy 2 for cheap.

i have tried this.
but gingerbread loader and froyo loader are different.
it gave an error at flashing and stopped flashing.

Hmmm. That would require fastboot huh. Don't know of a wireless way to use that. Is there an unroot procedure you could do from your sdcard without a cord and then re-root to gb perhaps?

it was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the clockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.

I don't think it is possible to downgrade to froyo from CM7 without ODIN. I might be wrong but that is how i remember it.
Though i did find this thread..

its very sad ((((

Just a reminder to some who have USB port problems. I'm not trying to insult anyone's intelligence here but remember Samsung phones are picky about USB cables.
I know because my phone was Semi bricked while doing Odin. Turned out my original Samsung cable went bad halfway through Odin'ing a new bootloader. After two months of playing with it I tried literally 5 different data cables that all fully worked for other phones and a few cheap off the street cables. Some would not even charge my vibrant but would work fine for data and charge on my wife's LG Quantum. Hard to find good micro-USB cables here in Peru. Finally I ended up modifying my original cable with another cable's micro-usb connector and wrapping a separate ground wire around the shield to get it to work. Samsung phones must require really good shielding to communicate and possibly not all cables have the shield connected on both sides or are properly shielded.

DVP stuck on boot screen, cant recovery mode, restore using back up

Hello, my DVP suddenly went bonkers and all i get is the DELL boot logo. I tried going into recovery to restore but pc wont detect. I cant do anything. i cant install anything using cab sender since cant detect and i cant unbrick due to same reason....anyone know how to fix this? Thank you in advance.

It sounds like the internal SD card crapped out. You could try my unbrick method but it sounds like it isnt being detected. Check in device manager to see if the USB device is being detected.

no detection at all. my friend told me he installed something on it using cab sender. Don't know what files were used but if need ill ask him. If only connection still worked i can restore stupid phone.

Anyone has any idea what to do? phone is just being paper weight now would like to use it again

i had the same problem with other DVP, and i think that the processor is dead, because the snapdragon QSD8250 have this issue, i know but some month´s ago, i buyed two non working hd2, thinking that have problems of software and after research many days, i find this problem ,this proccesor dies for overheating , to solve this i buyed two hd2 with broken display and change the board, for this reason, buyed a broken dvp to do the same, ...sorry for the bad news,

Im pretty sure its not a cpu issue, i mentioned my friend force install something using cab sender and the issue happened because of that. Im trying to figure out how to recovery from this issue. thanks for help anyways

I agree with you. I have the same problem because of skipped upgrading of ROM, form 7004 to 7720. I have tried some steps on the device,
and find JTAG pins on board, now I'm seeking a riffbox to fix the problem, maybe Nosker can answer if this is feasible. I had followed his thread here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207805
Just for your reference...

seems very interesting. I hope you guys are able to proceed with what you guys are doing. I read the thread, so if i were to fix it i would need a riftbox? im very noobie in the stuff mentioned in the thread but if you guys are able to give a guide then i can follow it . best of luck to you guys!

did you guys ever got this resolved? i'm having the same problem.

Deep, Deep Brick (LG G2 D802)

Hi guys,
After a long search on XDA, unfortunately I couldn't find the answer to my problem, so need to start a new threat.
This is the case: phone is on 5.0 CM12, tried to install twrp on it via the twrp market-app. When needed to reboot phone went dead and wouldn't turn on anymore. Tried to reflash firmware but my phone won't boot into download mode. When trying to do that, my pc just opens 7 screens with removable disk E:, F:, K:, L; etc.
In computer manager it also won't show the LGE port, which I would need to use to repair my phone. I never had something this bad before. Does anyone please know what to do?
Thnx in advance very much!

Thnx mate.. only one noob question: how do I boot into Ubuntu?

I don't really know a lot about rooting either but I can tell you that you, well, have to have ubuntu installed as your OS.
anyways me and my brother tried it and it didn't really work, because the G2 was only connected to the laptop for a few seconds.
I just wrapped it up now and im going to send it back tomorrow. I hope I'm lucky... good luck with your brick
