hi all : i have one set of HTC MEGA TOUCH 2 that it hang on 3 color boot menu.
i can't do hardspl or flash any flash file on to it , plz help me what should i do ?
1) When the phone is off, press and hold the button VOLUME DOWN (left side of the phone).
2) While holding the volume button, you press short the ON / OFF button and let it go.
3) If you see a warning message on the display, release the VOLUME-button
4) Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the reset or press any other key to cancel the reset.
Good luck....
I have a HTC Touch2 that is tuck in the Bootloader.
I have removed the battery and attempted the hard reset, as soon as it comes on it goes straight to the bootloader screen.
If the phone is connected to the PC, it says USB in the white band.
If not is says serial.
No SD card fitted, no SIM card fitted.
Any ideas?
Flash with a stock ROM in USB-mode should work for you
I thought you could only flash via USB if the device has been Hard-SPL'd? and you need to have an activesync connection?

Flashing with a stock ROM works without Hard-SPL, and as far as I know you can flash it when it says 'USB' in the bootloader mode. Correct me if Im wrong or else try...
To be honest, I fixed the phone without doing any of that. There seemed to be a problem with the USB port on the phone. I disconnected the battery and put some alcohol into the port (IPA!! not beer - lol) left it for a few seconds and then cleaned it out with compressed air. When I put the battery back in, it booted up fine.
wow... nice
why the usb-port?
strange...
hey guys, I see I have a problem from the damaged tape volume, so how can I make HR and enter bootloader
solved!

This man is my hero. I *very* carefully extracted a little bit of lint that was stuck right at the back of my HTC USB port in my touch2, with a drawing pin (tack for the americans).
While I would not reccomend using a pin, as it may damage the port, it fixed my phone right up, it now no longer gets stuck on the bootloader (tri-colour screen), and it also fixed a problem in which I got a reccurring error telling me to remove the USB headset as it doesn't work (or something to that effect) while nothing was actually plugged into it.
Thanks again, hogman!
edit: I can't figure out how to give you thanks rating or whatever it is, so this will have to do. Yes, I'm a noob!
Guys, thanks to all of you - especially frysee, who was a big help via Gtalk - the biggest part of my problem is solved:
My Transformer is still bricked and display won't turn on, but I was able to go back to stock ROM and wipe all personal data. So I won't get any trouble with warranty
If anyone is interested, me or frysee could write a How To for returning to stock ROM and retrieve warranty when screen is dead.
Thanks again!

Hi Guys!
I have a problem that is pretty common over at MoDaCo, but I haven't read anything about it here.
My Transformer sometimes doesn't turn on or wake up from sleep mode when turned on already. You can push the power button endlessly and nothing happens. Then suddenly it'll turn on as if nothing had happened.
I had this problem the first time right out of the box, so there's no bad software installed by me, don't know what ASUS did though. Perhaps it's one of the pre-installed apps.
As I said, normally it eventually comes to life again, but now I couldn't turn it on for a whole day! After I had no success, I left it on the charger over night, but still nothing this morning.
I feel I tried everything, pushed Vol Down + Power to go into recovery, pushed Vol Up + Vol Down and plugged USB to go into (useless) flash mode just to see the device to something, but no.
The only things that happen, if I push power:
- if I plug USB, the Windows plug and play sound plays and if I force shutdown the Transformer again (long-press power), the unplug sound plays. The device even appears in the Explorer and I can access SD card, but it only shows empty folders, no files in them.
- When I force-shutdown the device, I hear an internal "click" sound, similar to the one when you switch from front to rear camera, and you hear the speakers turn off. So it seems to initialize everything and stuff...
But all the time the Transformer screen stays dead
Any advice? Really need your help here guys! At MoDaCo there's no answer so far...
Regards,
qwer23
I was initially having this problem with my Transformer (it would usually happen when it had gone on standby and it couldn't get it to turn back on again) until I ran the ASUS updates on it - have you been able to update your Transformer on the occasions it did turn on for you?
If you've rooted it and stopped the OTA updates going onto it, you might just have to undo that and get an official ASUS firmware build on there to help fix the problem.

Hi!
First of all, thx for your answer.
Well as I said, the first time the problem occured, the device was out of the box and untouched before. So I don't think it has to do with something I did.
For me it normally also happened when device was in sleep mode, except the first time out of the box
I installed a custom ROM + Clockworkmod Recovery after that, hoping it'll fix the deep sleep problem. And it really didn't happen again - until now
I didn't turn off OTA updates as I first saw that thread when the device was already dead Perhaps it tried to OTA update itself but I guess I would have to confirm this manually right? And I didn't do that...
Reflashing another ROM or the stock ROM was my first idea, too. But hell, I can't even go to recovery! No matter what I do, press, plug or unplugg, the screen stays black!
Nice, another german Transformer
"playing the plug and play sound" means you propably have adb access? Tried getting a logcat?

yes, being unable to wait for the german release, i imported from uk
adb gives me "device not found". even though i'm not a total noob, i don't know what i have to change to make it work. any advice? sadly i'm working while my tf is charging @home so can't really try something. i only hope you guys have some ideas

Ahh. I didn't realise the screen was completely dead, I thought you had it working some of the time as had happened to me.
If you're seeing it in Explorer, maybe it is just a hardware failure and you'll have to get Asus to look at it...

no i guess that it is indeed the same thing that happened to you, sometimes it worked, sometimes not. only this time it doesn't come back from the not working part I guess you see yours in explorer too if it troubles to get out of deep sleep. i guess it's just the screen that sometimes doesn't turn on for all with that problem. but for me it doesn't even turn on for booting

It's possible. I don't think I tested connecting it to the Explorer while the screen was off, I assumed it just wasn't on.
Can you test it with the HDMI out and see if that shows you what would be on screen?

Yeah, good idea! Will try this asap when I'm back home. Do I have to press something on the TF to enable HDMI output or is it enough to plug it in?

When it seems dead, try holding the power button for about 5 seconds (or whatever time you hold it for when turning it off)
Leave for about 2 minutes then hold power button again (like you do when turning device on) and it should boot.

Tried that a lot of times already. No help.
Phone still won't turn on, but I just realized I cannot only access my SD Card, I can also access internal storage.
Is this of any help?

I guess so
I'm getting a mini-hdmi cable today to determine if the screen is broken, because i have the feeling that ***** is booting but not showing anything...But I'll have to send it to ASUS nonetheless. Has anyone ever sent a device in for warranty reasons with custom software (CWM, Custom ROM) on it? What kind of trouble will I have to face?
I'd say try it with the HDMI cable, see if you get anything up on it and if the touchscreen/everything else still works, see if you can get the latest official ROM on there, see if that fixes the problem.
If nothing else, you can then send it back with an official firmware on it.
Try holding the power button for 5-10 sec, then press power + volume down (might be volume up - try both) together for another 5-6 sec. You'll get to a reset screen where it asks you to confirm if you want to wipe everything. press volume down (I think!! - read the screen carefully) instead to boot normally.
hope this helps
Its 10+ seconds for a full power off by the way, nothing shorter than that. If you changed any system files either by flashing or by pushing via ADB then you will have invalidated your warranty. Unless you can restore it to the way it was before you fiddled with it, you'll have an expensive paperweight.

Big bummer And sadly there are no "ASUS Stores" around where I could use a stupid employee who has no clue and is convinced it's hardware related.
Well I don't have my HDMI cable by now and will try this first, but if that doesn't work:
Can someone give me a step-by-step how I can access the restore function of CWM without seeing anything on my device? I did a backup in CWM before installing the custom ROM. Perhaps tell me sth. like this: "press power+vol. down on start, then after approx. x seconds press vol up, wait a bit to make sure CWM started, press vol down twice, to go to recovery, ..."
And can someone do the same for the stock recovery to reset the device? Perhaps there's a chance that a failed OTA update deleted CWM an there's the stock recovery.
I know the chance to save it like this are small, but otherwise a lot of money is lost
Regards,

On the flip side however, you could probably make some money by being the first to dismantle your device, and sell the photos of the internals to some website like iFixit. Then you could also sell it off as parts on eBay. Obviously it might take more effort than you are willing to give it, but at least it's another option.
If you do decide to open it up I would love to hear what mA rating the battery has on its label. Not being able to find out the actual proper rating from any site has been driving me nuts. I believe it's 6800mA but im not 100% sure.
Just laying this down somewhere so its out there and not cluttering up Thing O Doom's thread.
Update: Got a refund due to them being OOS to replace. Oh well, no transformer for me...
Had some problems with my TF101, seems its a hardware fault with the USB port.
First cable: Caused Reboot then semi bootloop
Second cable: Disabled Power Button.
Cant seem to find any other people with these problems so am going to return it and get a replacement seeing how Ive just bought case, screen protectors, silicon skin etc.
Like the tablet and for the price I got it for I defo want a fixed unit!
History of posts in other thread:
First Cable:
After booting and the usb cable is attached it 'crashes' back to the main EEEPC logo screen and seems to be bootlooping except that it doesnt get to the boot animation. Just logo > black screen > logo > black screen.
Once cable is removed it boots and operates as normal until cable is plugged back in again.
I can get to recovery and use that no problem, even adb, but no go when booting into android.
Notes:
It worked before the rooting as was using it to do the rooting
If I plug it in at ANY point itll do it, powered off, boot animation, launcher etc
adb works fine in recovery
Havnt flashed a new rom yet as just got back from work
Update 1: Factory rest in TWRP = Problem still persists
Update 2: Wiped all partition (except sd) and restored backup after first root = Upon first connection it 'crashed' but this time rebooted to the os. This time Battery was 0% and crashed again when going into settings.
Update 3: Holy s*** - It does it even when not plugged into a PC! Just plugged the cable in by itself and it did it WTF!
Either the cable or connector is faulty Will have to try another cable but wont get one till next week now. If it does the same Im gonna have to send tablet back. FFS.
It must be cable as AC fits nice and tight (first time I used it was before rooting) while the USB is slightly loose and not as 'snug'
Why does it work fine in recovery though?

Looking at my amazon purchase Im thinking it isnt a genuine cable and cheapo knock-off (wasnt cheap cash-wise!)
Wondering if its something to do with the charging pins and it trying to charge but do data at the same time causing it to 'crash'. Could have been knocked out of place as the first time id used it was to use the root tool.
Anyway, when my new cable arrives Ill move this to a new thread if needed but for now Ill leave the post here in case any one else stumbles across it.

Second Cable
Well, its definitely looking a hardware problem as this new cable that came today does similar except that it only turns the screen off but doesnt reboot it. Cant turn the screen on until the cable is removed.
I got it connected to PC with the new cable as well as adb was working etc but no screen
Going to return it for a replacement if I can manage to get it returned to stock rom and recovery.
Everything else on the tablet works fine except the one thing I needed to work 100% lol just my luck
;edit; ...wtf...Flashed to stock and both cables are new cable is working fine...Will have to see wth is going on later when I get back from work
;edit2; Nope it just disables the power button so I cant turn the screen back on. This feckers going back!

I tried to partition the ExSD of my son's tablet using TWRP reading step by step off XDA. I wiped cache and dalvik cache, mounted, booted to system, but it went to a blank screen. Now it seems to never power on, cant get the screen to show ANYTHING, and will not show anything even when plugged into a computer. I have tried multiple cables and chargers with nothing being different. I even tried swapping the battery with the one from my daughter's identical tablet. Is it possible to corrupt so much the device doesn't have an understanding of what to do when power button is pressed?
I leave Tues for a month in Ft. Polk and my son will likely drive my wife nuts, MAYBE someone can help?
Recovery Mode?
Have you tried to press and hold (if I recall correctly) the power, home and volume up button? That should take you to the recovery mode.
hope that was helpfull.

Mr. Happy Bear, yes I have. I have tried every possible combination of button pushing with and without the charger and or cable in a computer plugged in.
Was hoping someone knew of a hardware button or ribbon cable on a board I could switch or press that would be able to use.
Thanks for trying though.
I did something a while back, causing my MOJO to get stuck on a boot animation forever. After doing this, I left it alone for like a year or so, so I have absolutely no idea what's wrong.
Boot animation is four colors (Red, Blue, Yellow, Green) moving around in a pattern.
I believe I have some form of TWRP installed, but no USB cable to connect it to my computer.
Edit: I have a USB Mouse and Keyboard, but I'm not sure that would help. Also have some unrootable Androids, which is probably just as useless.

worth a try...
