Dont know if my phone is bricked

Hello Guys, Im new here so sorry if this is placed in the wrong place. Heres a little background on my phone and my issue

I have a Mytouch 4g and it WAS under the 2.3.4 Software Update. There was already an issue with my phone trying to itself up all the time...After about a month of that it quit but that was an issue i was having for a while.... so I figured....Id be experimental and follow the online guides for rooting....I am a complete noob but I did think it was pretty cool and since my phone was already acting an ass from time to time, i figured...hey ill try it

Heres the guide I followed for downgrading to 2.2.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178912

I followed this guide and completed the steps 100%...My phone was successful is downgrading and was working 100%....I did not select ANY updates cuz i didnt wanna risk upgrading back to 2.3.4...Jus a precaution for a Noob

So after that I follwed these instructions on actually trying to root the phone

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4B4y0CQUDo&playnext=1&list=PLA141B38948522AAA&feature=results_video

I followed all these steps with success as well....Once I got to the step to power off and check to see if the root actually worked and was S-off (11:32 - 11:40) on the video...the phone powered off but trying to power back on (holding the volume down + power button) I had this problem.

***flash an orange light and vibrate 3 times when i powered on or vibrate 5 times and flash green when i tried bootloader***

Ive tried many times to hold the volume down and the power button but i never can seem to get to the Hboot screen to try any of the fixes Ive read about. Today, after leaving the phone on the charger over night, with just the battery (no sim card or sd)....I powered on holding down the power button + volume down and I FINALLY GOT INTO HBOOT :)

Sadly i didnt have my computer or directions wrote down on what to do next...The phone stayed on HBOOT for at least 30 mins but no too long after that...the phone was back off and Im back at the same problem...WTF

Ive read a few posts on how to repair once I can get to HBOOT...the problem is....The phone is having soooo much trouble getting there...CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME, AND IF I FIX, THEN PROVIDE ME WITH A BETTER METHOD OF ROOTING....THANKS SOOOOOO MUCH

yes, it's rooted but this problem apears before rooting...and no custom ROM

I have two HTC Mytouch phones. To be honest, I got them to exchange the LCD screen on a working one for my niece. They both boot to hboot screen ( I bought two and will decide which one has a better screen). I have tried the fix here for both and I get the same problem. A picture of what happens on imgur /a/wsRkt/. It just sits at the update for both phones on bootloader. Same exact set up

I downloaded the lastest version from this thread (the only one that says it will work after starting with the oldest and working my way forward)

"pd15img_glacier_gingerbread_s_tmous_2.32.531.1_radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_m_release_227522_signed.zip" is the name of the file

I have tried re-downloading it and using different SD cards. Its' not plugged in. I have noticed several other people have asked the same question. After reading hundreds of post I cannot find the answer. Will someone help?

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicLordPhone:
I'm not sure if this will work for you but it did for me, formatt the SD to fat32 and see if it works. Before I bricked mine, I did that a few months before
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjhollin:
Matt, I don't have an answer, but if misery loves company, then you might like to know that my results with that file have been similar to yours, the only difference being that the first time I used that file it updated BOOTLOADER, BOOT, and RECOVERY, but then got stuck updating SYSTEM. After an hour and a half, I got tired of waiting so I pulled the battery. Since then, all my attempts have frozen on updating BOOTLOADER, as yours does. Really perplexing.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn't work for me. I just tried it and I get stuck at the BOOTLOADER updating step.

I have a MyTouch 4G completely stock, S-ON and I need the froyo PD15IMG.zip file, I can not find it anywhere, does anyone have a link where I can download the version, I found the gingerbread version and tried to install through hboot and got an error after the phone checked the file that said something like "main version is older" so I am guessing I need the froyo PD15IMG.zip file, thanks!

This is a friends phone I was trying to fix, a word of advice, only buy samsung. Htc phones feel like they are built better but their locked bootloaders and crap software make them a pita and not user or developer friendly. Buy a samsung and a jig and download odin to your pc and you're set, much more forgiving phones.

Ok so I have a Mytouch 4g slide and it wont turn on KINDA

When i plug it in the charging light turns on, and if i hold down the power button the device vibrates but the light turns off

When i attempt to boot into recovery(Vol down + power) it vibrates and if i have it plugged into my laptop it sees the device for a fraction of a second, but not enough time to install the drivers.

Im really not sure how to fix it, it almost seems like the screen is busted.

Anyone ever have the blinking amber light conditions?

I have heard of one other person posting he got it to work.

Phone was working fine and then one day the volume up button stopped working. Tried to reboot and all I get is flashing amber light and it vibrates five times.

Tried pulling the battery. Removing sim and SD card. Tried charging it fully to green but then goes back to flashing amber when trying to start.

Is the phone gone or not? I may try to short out the battery with a resistor to completely drain it.

ok, to answer #1, negative ...... the only error i received was "older than" .....thankfully, NO Fail-PU so far....it still tries. just need a "good" rom? i'm hoping...

#2.....uh.....you have me at a loss....i don't even know where to look for that at. as, I cant get past the hboot or fastboot menus...i would try and search, but i started the 2.3.4 newest rom once again to download..browsing gets me down to around 3kb/s while downloading. i know, excuses excuses...:laugh: where would I obtain that info from?

EDIT: ok, i looked it up..lol. another adb command query....cant do...guessing it's a driver issue since i had to modify the inf to get it to work..( makes the most since ) ...like i said, it 'sorta' sees there is something connected, just cant do anything with it.

Try and use a goldcard to downgrade to 2.2.1 stock

Its in the true permaroot thread.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibrokeditgood:
would love to...unfortunately, it seems every method to attempt anything with the mt4g requires that you change settings inside the operating system...USB modes charge only/storage, Developer mode on/off, Fastboot on/off etc.....even the goldcard ,from what I've read, requires that you are able to change settings....

There is no getting past my boot... phone is toast. New logic board time.

You wouldn't think that, being that it acts like there is no operating system there anymore. No operating system, or inability to load the OS would mean there ARE NO settings....other than the bootloader, that is.

with that being said.....i'm pointing my finger at the bootloader with eMMc as a silent partner waiting to walk into the light...:cyclops:

The newest rom error-ed out a few times, but I got it.....does the same thing as a couple others I have..

Vol down+Power, enter hboot....kicks off looking for PD15IMG.zip .....finds it....does the first pass when it opens with the little blue progress bar on the side....then it goes on to 'check' it....orange'ish progress bar now on the side....completes....and you are right back on the menu (or hboot) screen.....NO errors or anything....

I also went to tmo's site and went through the trouble shooting .....well, until I got to the "Master Reset" section and try it on my phone....

NO matter wHAt you press on my phone, you get either the fastboot menu or hboot menu.....:(

^ oh, and I figured out why adb isnt getting me anywhere--no root...:laugh: ( makes since-its all stock-duh:rolleyes: )

oh, and when connecting with usb, (i used a few fresh driver sets and modified those to work, still do not get "composite" device [as the pictures show from the link in previous post] but it does say the android is connected, with USBDeview ( ran as admin) it shows a drive letter assigned, but it will not display (or "mount") the device as storage ..the phone its self ,sees the PC is connected, as USB is displayed beside hboot and fastboot.....

......I'm in a state of forced denial. after all the reading, all the tinkering....and still no result and 'knowing' it's toast, I keep getting the flashes of "if you can get to the boot menu, it's not dead" .....:fingers-crossed:

oh well, think thats about all there is to that.....guess it's time to charge 'er up, pull the batt, and store it away till I can get a new logic board....:rolleyes:

.......anyone got some cheap parts? :laugh:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N_otori0us_:
7 hours lol that's a lot. Try 3 days with 15 hours each. Lol.

Also when stock files refuse to be flashed by boot loader, usually your emmc when bad.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibrokeditgood:
lol, lets not get into a time clock competition now...:laugh: i KNOW you guys put in the time :good:

and to answer the question...no...I get no errors that 'commonly' point to the bad emmc.

still unable to get the adb to show me a device, fastboot still does show the device as listed in the ruu log above.....guessing that is supposed to be my serial # ?

I honestly don't know anymore. the more i read, the more confused i keep getting...started more searches on youtube to try and give my eyes a break from reading. still not helping. 4shared is making me insane with dropping my downloads when they are about 80% done, so i havent been able to get anything new to try....found some dropbox links I was going to try, but, once again, lost the link and cant remember the search term i used....i really need to turn my history back on:rolleyes:.....

I think I am going to just dump all my files and start from scratch....i got WAY to disorganized, which does not help one bit....

I still dont know why i'm trying all this in windows, when i have linux on this pc as well...i might give that a look'see when I get back.....but-

Plan right now is get off my rear, head to town from some grub and some coffee and start deleting everything.....gonna be a long night.......
