Hi !
I bought a Nexus 4 for 10 bucks from a taxi driver knowing it has this problem . I searched the whole internet and barely found some info, most of the people who got this problem just force closed it and then it worked. But with this one, it happens everytime i turn it on.
You can see the problem in the video.
Also, if i let it boot, i can change the volume and i managed to turn on the flash, so the touch is working. And the screen does the same thing if i wake it, but it's not that bright..
Can anyone help me ?
I don't know if it has root or anything, if you can at least help me with a guide to flash it without knowing anything about the software or the settings in it, i'd be really thankful!

Hi
If you can go to stock recovery i.e press an hold volume down+power button until you see bootloader.
Then press volume down key until you see recovery. Press power button to select.
Then press an hold power button and press volume up key and release all keys.
Now you are in recovery.
You can do a factory wipe.
See if that solves the problem.
Good Luck

If someone could post detailed instructions on how to hard reset (via vol up/dwn/power buttons) the surround it would be much appreciated.
What I am looking for specifically is were the instructions say "Follow the instructions on screen"
My display is not working but I would like to hard reset it to c if that will help or at least get all my personal stuff off before i send it back.
I used Windows Live "Find My Phone" to Hard Reset it also I believe you can do it from Zune also.
1. Turn off or pull the battery/replace battery.
2. Hold both volume up and volume down keys
3. Press the power on button and continue to hold vol up/down keys for about 10 seconds past the vibration.
4. Press volume down once more to erase.
It should reboot on its own after that, but if not pull the battery again and reboot. The reset process only takes a few seconds at most once you press volume down, so if you don't see any screen after that assume its dead and wiped. Good luck.

Thanks for that post man, I know someone that just got the HTC Surround yesterday and I know I will be the one to do any tweaking or moding to it. This kind of info is just what I come to these forums to find. Got to love XDA.

It's only because I have wiped my surround many times... I am on my third one now. Long live XDA!
Hi there,
I've got a problem with my A500 (rooted with taboonay ROM).
I've been using it for weeks without a problem. But now it doesn't boot any more. The screen stays black, the Power button lights on when I press it, but that's all.
I tried to hold Volume button while pressing Power, but it won't boot either.
I don't understand why it behaves like this.
Any way to force it to boot, please?
thanks !
Look somewhere on the forums, there was a topic how to unbrick.

Try doing a hard reset.
There's a little pinhole on right, lower side of tab labeled "reset".
I tried to push this little button, the power button lights on but the screen stays off...thank you anyway. Any other tips?

Use the search function and find the thread(s) about unbricking .
In the developer part you can find theme with unbricking instructions
So I had the blinking orange light, and vibrating 3 times when I turn the phone off. From what I've read this is because of a broken volume up button, and the phone thinks its being pressed and tries to boot into something it shouldn't.
The other day I booted into recovery (I was going to use the trackpad) but I accidentally hit the volume up button. To my surprise, it worked. So I booted into the bootloader, it works there too.
Does anyone know what might fix this? I originally thought the button was broke, but if CWM and the bootloader can work with it, it must not be, right?
Oh and I did the keytest in CWM and when I press volume up it tells me I'm hitting the volume up key.
Thanks!

Hi,
after unlocking and rooting my Nexus 4 I flashed the franco-kernel. I did these steps with the ToolKit. But now when I start my phone I can press the power button once and it offers me to shut it down. After that there is no reaction when pressing the power button. I tried to reset the Nexus but I still get the same error. Can anyone help? Thanks!
EDIT: My nexus just turned off the screen and I was able to reactive it by pushing the powerbutton. What works all the time is shutting down the phone by long pressing.
From your initial post it sounds like it might be sticking..

I don't think that it's hardware related. It might be a software issue. Sometimes the screen stays on for ever unless I open an app and close it again. It seems the phone doesn't know what to do when the button is pressed.
EDIT: When connected to PC I can use the button only to power off the phone. I can't wake it...weird
I just bought and installed this unit in my 2010 Prius from a seller on Ali Express
I want to install a custom ROM on it but first I want to make sure I can successfully boot into recovery in case something goes horribly wrong. The seller REALLY doesn't want to share that information with me, so I was wondering if someone here might know how this is done.
If you have a reset button...
Press it (with toothpick) and hold it pressed until you see blinking the lights of buttons...then release and press it again until you see the lollipop logo. Release it and you will be on recovery menu.
You can move on different options from recovery by pressing quickly the reset button and choose an option by holding pressed the reset
if I did help you, please hit "thanks" button

So I tried that, but on my unit when you press the reset button all the light go out and stay out until the button is released. The only time I can get the lights around the buttons to flash three times is when I release the reset button and hold down the power button. But when I release the power button and hold it down again after the flashes it just repeats the three flashes again like the first time. If I release the power button at any time it just loads up like normal. If I hold it down again when the lollipop logo comes on it just goes blank and repeats the three flashes again. If I press the reset button it just resets the unit again, if I hold it down it does nothing until I let go, then it resets the unit again like normal.
The three flashes seem like they mean something but I can't figure out how to get to the next step of actually starting the recovery. I want to flash a custom rom but I am afraid to do it without the safety net of being able to get into recovery if I need to, you know?
any update
I also want to buy this unit, but I'm just not sure:
Does it connect to all the functions of the Prius 3? Camera? Microphone? Steeringwheel buttons? Other?
Or do you need extra modules? Which?
Are you enabled to edit the basic car functions from it at least?
Found the thread on google, waiting for someone custom rom it, its good, everything works excepts its buggy, sometimes camera dont work etc that is why i also want a simlle custom rom on it
Edit: solved here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...pment/mtcd-intel-sofia-units-wifi-3g-t3533154
Could you explain me how? I have same screen but I don't even get those 3 lights pushing both reset + power at same time. Thanks
