[Q] odd hardware bottons begavior - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all
I gave noticed a weird behavior with my device.
When I try to get into recovery with volume down+ power..I go into the bootloader menu. Trying to use volume up + power I get three haptic gesturs and the led lights in orange and get stuck.
I can get into recovery using the HBOOT menu and using the EXT4 power menu
Any suggestions?

Volume down + power ALWAYS takes you to bootloader. I'm not sure what made you think otherwise. Your phone is behaving normally.

Reflashing the ROM

How to go to the Falshing ROM ? I got the Image from HTC.. and told me to do Vol Down plus Power on..
But I cant make it work ?
Any trick ?
Thanks
Turn the phone off completely.
Hold both volume up & volume down buttons and briefly press power on. Keep holding volume buttons till the screen comes on, then follow on-screen instructions.

That's how you reset to the factory defaults.
What you want to do is to completely turn off your device and then hold the vol-down button while tapping once on the power button.

What does that do then?
its called "hard-reset" if you do this.
you can reset your device.

I described a hard reset. I want to know what the other described method does.

Power on only by Power Button

Hi,
Found that HD2 can be powered on by pressing any key. Can it be set only by the power button (right button)?
thanks
Nope. Many threads about that, no solution found.
Well, my HD2 can be powered only by Power Button. Didn't know it was an issue with that.

[Q] Phone wont hard reset or enter bootloader via volume buttons

I just got my HD2 it boots fine into the stock ROM. The only thing I did was HSPL it.

Do all of those buttons work when the phone is booted? If so, maybe you are doing something wrong. Never heard of this issue.
Yes, the volume buttons work in Winmo.

Are you holding down the volume buttons, and then hitting the power button? You haven't mentioned that you are hitting the power button so I'm just wondering... Sometimes it takes a few tries to get it. Volume down and Power gets you bootloader. Volume up and down and power gets you a hard reset...

Yeah, I'm like 100% sure I'm doing things correctly. It just goes straight to the -t-mo introduction.
I've found one other post some guy saying the same problem maybe i'll PM him.
Does it matter that I'm not using the OEM battery?

[Q] need help making backup for epic

ok I searched thru all threads, im trying to create a backup with clockwork. I have rooted with clockworkmod and have no clue how to get to it. I am a noob but have rooted and have flashed FROYO on my EPIC. I do have titanium backup aswell, but lookin for the other backup incase i decide to flash back to stock for the OTA FROYO. THanks, Please STEP BY STEP, Or atleast point me to a thread that tells it cause ive been searchin for a hour now
Hold Down the power,volume up,volume down and camera all at the same time and you are know in clockwork.
Also to navigate in it use the voulume up down and camera to select.
Also you can use the keyboard dpad with the enter button for select.
Another nice button combo is camera,power and volume up i think is a soft reset.
Hope this helps.
that isnt working for some reason, just reboots back to up. I was holding volume rocker, power and camara. do i have to do something before i shut down? or start to reboot when the lights are on after shutting down??

When the phone is on hold:
Power
Camera
Volume up
Volume Down
It will work believe me..
Just keep trying sometimes if you miss a key it will activate the reboot button combo..
If your phone is off: Hold camera power and volume down i think...
The phone has to be powered off. And then you hold volume down button, camera and power button until you are at the green cwm menu.

no it doesnt it can be on and you can hold both volume rockers, camera and power and it will take you to clockwork with out power off..
But yes your way works with the phone off..
For Sh*ts and giggles I thought I'd try both methods mentioned here and yes they both work.

[Q] myTouch 4g recovery mode not working!

First question: Not sure if it's the phone or the software but when I shutdown my phone and try to turn it back on by holding the volume button and the power button, it doesn't work. But as soon as release the power button, it decides to turn on. Can someone help me with this?
Second question: Does my phone need to be rooted to get Android 4.1.1?
NOTE* Currently on Android 2.3
1) Keep trying, you shouldn't have to release a button to turn it on. Are you holding the right buttons? Its down+power
2)Yes

First Volume down, then the power button, it should be on within 3 seconds.
Do you have ADB enabled? Plug your phone into your computer, if your computer recognizes it via ADB, come back
Help!

I would try pushing recovery img through adb. See if that solves the problem.
