Quick background. I had a Chevron unlock token which I bought before they stopped distributing them and ever since I bought that token my phone was not quite them same (lag, slow...etc) but it worked and I never had any real problems with it..That is until I received an update from Verizon, at this moment I'm having a hard time remembering what the update was (7773?) idk, anyway since that update my power button has stopped functioning. I know that it works because I am able to enter the boot screen by holding down power and volume down. Currently I am running the 7.8 ROM Nokser posted with radio 1.53.00.02.15, HSPL 1.3.230506.209. Does anyone know if there is a possible fix for this problem? Thanks in advance for any help!
Also I dont know if this is of any importance but if I try to install any update through zune it is stuck in an endless boot cycle. I previously flashed a no-do ROM and tried to install updates and it did the same thing.
can anyone give me any tips at all as to what I should even try to get this power button working? It works because I can enter boot mode by holding it plus the volume button down, but is completely non functional when the OS is up and running.
I would appreciate any help.

I was trying to upgrade to the WM5 rom. But it went wrong and now my smt5600 is not booting up at all. Its DEAD. Anyone have any idea how i can get the phone working again. I connect the phone to the USB cable and there still nothing. HELP somebody....
Can you get it manually in bootloadermode? If that's possible, connect USB & reflash. I don't know how to get a typhoon in bootloader, that's something you've got to find out yourself.

[edit]
& the wiki tells you how to get it in bootloader:
the bootloader
enter bootloader, by turning off device, then hold down camera button, and briefly press the power button.
see http://www.clubimate.com/index.asp?PageAction=DEVICEFAQ_SP3 for more info
an easier way, that does not require the right timing for button presses, is to hook your device to usb, turn it off. press the camera button, it should immediately enter the bootloader.
The phone seems dead. It will not turn on. No lights. It seems if the flash memory is shut down. I tried to flash it with WM5 and look where it got me. I wish I can get to bootload but nothing.
I assume this WM5 'release' wasn't released by your provider, was it? Did they release any official updates & is your phone still covered under warranty? If so try to get it fixed with the claim that you upgraded with the rom they supplied. It's worth to try, cause I don't know no other way than a Service Center to get it functioning again.
BTW was your battery full enough or almost empty?
Feeling with you, M
Hi everyone,
Before opening this thread i have done a lot of search about my problem but i could not find any solution. My pocket pc is HTC Touch 3450, it works fine but i want to unlock its CID. I tried every combination to enter bootloader mode (CAMERA + SOFT RESET, or CAMERA+POWER+SOFTRESET etc.) but when i try, it boots normally. Also there is no SD card in it. As i said everything works fine. I tried to upgrade its ROM but i got CONNECTION error in %0 of progress. I know to upgrade ROM i must enter bootloader but as i said i cannot. Also i can try to upgrade ROM via SD card but again i have to enter bootloader mode, but as i said i cannot.
When i try to enter bootloader mode it boots normally and begins the system and works everything fine. I dont know its history, i mean its my new second hand phone.
Anyone, any idea? Please help me!!!!.
Same problem here - 155 views and no answers
Phone turned off. Hold down camera button, press power button to boot, while still holding camera button until the bootloader appears...
If you can't get your device into bootloader and you have tried all options, which it seems like you did. Consider the fact that you may have a clone, where did you purchase the phone from? This issue has been mentioned before, and that was the answer to why the bootloader wouldn't load.
Easy way to tell is check the battery, it'll say HTG instead of HTC.
Tried that matey - no good.
You see I thought that mine was a clone due to the trouble getting into bootloader, but I can see no other reason to believe its a clone, Battery says HTC as well.
I have had plenty of experience updating roms on htc devices but this has me stumped.
unfortunately it is a HTG battery, then it is a clone When i try the combinations, (power off then push power buton+camera button) it doesn't enter bootloader mode.Now i knoe that the problem is being a clone.
My next question is, what is the way to enter bootloader in clone HTC (HTC with a HTG battery)?????
Thanks
same problem. please help
crypto 2008 , same problem here.nobody knows how to do this. please help
It's the same problem for all clones.
Seems there is no way to enter the bootloader mode
Clones enter bootloader by holding the volume slider UP and pressing reset. If you hold the volume slider up and hold the camera button and hit reset you can hard reset it.
I bought the HD2 few days ago, I dont know what the last owner did but HD2 doesn’t wanna start, just stuck on O2 logo and that’s it.
I’ve tried to do hard reset or bootload but ineffective. Can you maybe help me? Thanks in advance.

So you can't get to the bootloader? (holding down vol down from a cold boot)?
Does it show the version information down in the bottom corner when starting?
I've tried many times but nothing happen.
No there is no info about rom/radio etc.
Have you got any ideas how can I get to bootloader?
Remove the SD Card and boot the phone.
Just to confirm you can't get into BootLoader mode - Press and hold the Volume Down button then tap the Power button. Don't let go of the Volume Down button until the Bootloader screen apears.
Thanks, I know how I can get into BootLoader mode but that doesn't work.
Any other ideas?
There is no other way to get into BootLoader mode.
Have you tried booting without the SD Card and checked that there is no bent battery pins?
It may be a faulty volume button or other hardware issue.
If it was a faulty ROM or RADIO then you would still be able to get into BootLoader.
Hello,
I wanted to ask if someone clashed with problem like that and knows how to solve it. I had 1.66 rom eastern euope and installed 2.08hspl, tried to install latest magldr and I am guessing problem occured because I didnt installed latest radio. Now when I am turning on the phone it shows white screen and green logo and stuck. Tried turning of the phone and holding - volume button when turning on that didnt make any difference can someone help me to revive my phone ?
So you tried to get into bootloader, but the thing is you have to try harder.
Bootloader should work just fine.
So again, turn of your phone. while the phone is turned off, keep the vol down, and press the power button.Release the power button, but keep the vol down pressed.
You can try the other way: hold the vol down pressed and reset the phone(red button on the back).
If you want to use the SD card method to flash something you still have to enter the bootloader, so you must keep trying.
Forgot to ask: did you manage to enter the bootloader or not, cause you only said it did not make any difference????.What does that mean?
I already trying to enter bootloader for the five hours, so I guess it's impossible, also tried that thing with red button it didnt load up that bootloader screen. The thing is that holding volume key down didn't work for me before to get into bootloader even when the phone was ok but it did install all roms which I tried so I didnt think that this would be problem either apparantely it is... Maybe youu have some other suggestions how to fix it ?
If you can make the pc recognize the HD2 then you can flash anything.
But i think that this is only possible in bootloader or windows or android.
So this is a problem.
No ideea for now.
Anyone help???
But you *do* push both vol. down and power buttons and keep them pushed until the screen turns on, don´t you?
I didn´t get into the bootloader as long as I didn´t kept both buttons pushed long enough... had to learn the "timing" kind of...
Love my phone but it's not coming on.
Not rooted or custom OS
It boots to the point where it starts writing the word Samsung, freezes then turns off and the blue LED on stays on.
Bixby+volume down+power gets me to the Custom OS screen.
Bixby+volume up+power does nothing.
Any way to save this beautiful phone?
well, something happened.
you will need to try reinstall the stock rom with odin.
It is the same case if you use windows and the OS give you a problem...we reinstall everything.
Try it.
Hi, thank you for your renspose. I've tried flashing 3 stock roms that I found from different places on the Internet. Only one is able to get installed but when the phone boots up after install, it says it is installing an update and then reboots or turns off.
Can you point me in the direction of a stock rom that you'd recommend? That would be great.
How do I know if it is a hardware or software problem? It worries me that the power button alone doesn't power it on, the only combo that works is vol down, bixby and power.
Thanks again

The phone works on Total Wireless (Verizon in the US) and I believe it is model # SM-G955U
