So last night my wife's MyTouch 4G was operating perfectly. My 3 year old knocked it off the entertainment center, and now it will not turn on. The fall wasn't even hard enough to cause any scratches or damage to the outside of the phone.
When trying to turn on the phone, I get three vibrations and a flashing orange light.
When I try to boot into hboot, I get 5 vibrations and a solid green light.
I've pulled the battery, let it set for 15 minutes, tried again, but I cannot access anything, I even let it set and charge for four hours, still no luck.
I cannot see the phone from the computer using adb, Droid Explorer, or anything else.
Is this phone completely done? If so, would I be able to sell it for parts? Thanks for any advice.

Your volume up button might be stuck but if its not your emmc chip is done and your phones done hopefully since it fell the volume up button will just be stuck and your phone won't be broken

Just disassemble the phone, all the way down to the motherboard and screen, cleaned it, ensured nothing was sticking, and it still doesn't boot. Guess it's goin' up for parts. Thanks.
Plug it into your computer and type in 'adb reboot', sorry, I skimmed through the op, let me know if that works or not

I have the htc g2 as of right now. Originally, I only got the phone because of it's physical keyboard, but now, I'm kind of finding want of a larger screen. Don't laugh, I know there's a few mt4g owners out there that want a keyboard ;P well, my phone is already perm-rooted, but id trade for a stock mt4g if the owner is desperate enough for a keyboard xD

If you ever feel up to it, just hit me up ;P I've loved the phone so far, but the screen just doesn't meet my standards. As far as performance goes, cyanogen himself has a g2 ;P oh you don't need to return to stock, I'm willing to trade for a rooted phone. I'm just cautious cause I don't want to accidentally trade my working g2 for a bricked phone and have no one to blame but myself xD

You know the screen on the mt4g is only .1 inch bigger right? I mean it is noticeable... But was thinking if the screen size is what you want you can check out the Vibrant 4g or NS. Or a Vibrant 3g and you could get cash on top in exchange for your phone. Food for thought is all.

well i hope you had insurance then
you should have flushed it. most electronics don't recover after water damage. your best chance would be to pull the battery and let the phone sit in a very warm place for a few days and try to dry it out.I doubt it will work but its worth a try

Check to see if the white circle under the battery (bottom right) is still white. If it is, do a warranty exchange.

Sounds more like you smoked your phone.
Seems like everyone that has done this exact thing has had the same issue. You will need to call Google support and see if they can help you out. As it stands your phone is toast.

People stop overclocking it. We had like a dozen of reports in here of the phone dying after that.

Agreed. This phone is fast enough. Why push it?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I'm not sure why someone would over clock this phone. Phones are made for everyday usage not for cool high numbers on a benchmark app. If anything this phone could be underclocked to save some battery and it still be extremely usable for everyday life. I hope you can somehow get Google to help you out. If you fried it don't tell them that just tell them you woke up and it was on the charger dead. I've done it before years back in my early days of not reading enough and trying to mod my phone. If you fried it they will probably never know. Just my 2 cents

If it's red it would then be a stuck pixel? There are some ways to potentially fix those (flashing images of different colours very quickly), but being brand new I would replace the phone.

There's an 8-hour version if you're willing to try that overnight before returning it.

If only one pixel out of 2073600 pixels is stuck or dead and it doesn't affect you much, then keep it.
But if it bothers you, you are fully entitled to exchange your new phone.
Same problem here, bought a S4 this morning with one dead or stuck pixel (green dot on black background).
Already exchanged at the store with no problem.

These things never does. I have had a lot of devices with stuck/death pixels - always seems to be a 1st batch issue. And always we find these "fix" recommendations but they NEVER work Swap it.
I had a red stuck pixel on my Galaxy S2, I removed it by simply rubbing the screen on the dead pixel while applying pressure.
It disappeared and never came back
I'd be devastated rather take it back.
So I got pushed in the pool and needless to say phone got wet, turned it off immediately and shoved it in a bowl of rice, after a week when I plug it in to a power source it says battery is full and boot loops now if I hold the V down it goes into the bootloader screen but the power button doesn't let me select anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: I can get to TWRP but won't fully boot up, also I noticed there isn't a battery percentage in TWRP. Battery dead?

Open it up and look inside by power button connection, it might be corroded. Just use a toothbrush and some rubbing alcohol (dont use alot just a small amount and scrub til corrosion is gone) then let it dry and put everything back together.

That's the problem tho, as soon as I unplug it it dies, I'm pretty sure the battery is fried. I ordered another one already it was only $30 so I'll try that.
