[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedDonkey:
I'm having a similar problem and I'm following these steps, but not having any luck.

Info on my phone: It's a MT4G that I got just this past week from eBay, worked fine up until this morning. Does not have an SD card and the one I have from my previous phone (Vibrant) is a highly suspect piece of junk so it's not in the phone right now. I was running VISIONary+ on it and had just set it to temp root on boot, but never got it to reboot. I plugged it in to charge this morning, thought it was plugged all the way in (maybe it wasn't? Would that cause this kind of borking?) and the phone froze. Rebooting didn't help. Actually I had pulled the battery, rebooted it, stuffed it in my pocket and then 2 hours later realized it was still on the boot up screen. That's when I got scared. It's running ADW, Superpower, TIBackup and Tasker, but there's no other software I can think of on the phone that might have mattered. Never installed Clockwork or anything like that before, regretting that now.

On the hboot screen I have:

Going to Fastboot, I can get the phone to be recognized as an HTC Bootloader in my device manager, and I can try and get the recovery.img loaded as was instructed above using adb but it always fails. Output from that is:

When I try and do recovery, I get a quick flash of a phone with a red exclamation point over it, then black screen of nothing. Booting regular leads to a constant white MyTouch4g screen, no change. Trying Factor Reset leads to the skateboarding androids, no change even after a long time. In any of these cases, I have to pull the battery before I can try anything again.

Did I bork my phone? How the heck did I do that? Is there any way to further save it? Any help you guys could give me would be massively appreciated, thanks in advance.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
The instructions above only pertain to a rooted phone. Your phone is not rooted and you dont have eng bootloader. Without superuser access you cant even flash recovery like you were trying. A factory reset didnt fix your problem?

Side note, im an opponent of doing the whole temp rooting only thing cause if you screw something up you dont have access to tools to fix anything, your just screwed if something happens like this.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedDonkey:
Yeah, I'm seeing the downside of temp rooting right now. Main reason I did it was for TiBackup and Superpower, the latter I didn't even really need.

Factory reset did nada, all it did was take the three skateboarding androids from the bottom of the bootloader screen and put them in the middle, then hang forever. Thankfully the place I got the phone from is going to take it back. I've looked around and seen some more complaints like this about the MyTouch4g, so I guess it might be some kind of phone defect. Hopefully I have better luck with the next one...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrons:
I purchased a phone from craigslist last week, so I don't have a option to return it to the individual. The phone worked fine for a week, and my wife (why?) pulled the battery because it would not shut off while it was performing a market originated update. I don't have any more useful info on the circumstance of the cause of the failure, but now I know the situation my phone is in. It is not rooted, stock firmware, without any good reason to corrupt the image. It will only boot into the fastboot mode, with the same versions as above.

What can I do?

Is there a way to root and re-flash the firmware to recover from this starting point? Is there a way to verify this might be a hardware failure?

Or has HTC been known to be gracious and honor a warranty to someone who is the second hand owner with a possible valid hardware warranty claim?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhkang680:
can you install one of those apps that modifies the boot screens? would that help at all?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodashtoc:
Question

I see that you were able to get this working for you, however the links that were given to you are not working. Is there anyway you can tell me what you did and what you downloaded. I can get into the FASTBOOT just like your prior problem, but I'm stuck there.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Read what "fastboot" is, execute "adb reboot bootloader", install fastboot drivers, flash recovery from fastboot, go to recovery, wipe everything, flash a ROM of your choice.

There are zillion of guides for flashing recovery from fastboot, the only thing you need - is a recovery IMG. You can take it from CWM downloads site directly:

Choose the one for your device (which is Glacier).

Did it go well? I'll assume they'll just send me a check for the amount, not replace it since it's not really sold anymore?

I dropped mine in water, and I'm letting it dry in rice, but I'm debating just filing the claim today because even if it starts to work, I don't know that I want to keep a phone that may have future issues from this accident.
[Nexus One General] EcPercy:
I have. My gf (wife now) ran my phone through the wash by accident. SquareTrade doesn't care if your phone is being sold or not. They will give you a shipping label to ship the phone back to them so they can verify that its broken and you pay a deductible of (i think) $50usd and then within about 3-4 days after they get the phone back you get a paypal for the amount of the phone. $530USD
[Nexus One General] osetivo:
There's a tip that I've heard but been fortunate enough never to need re: water.

Instead of letting it sit in rice, remove the battery, sim, microSD and submerge the device in alcohol, like isopropyl alcohol, not drinking. I don't recall how long.

The theory is that the alcohol will displace the water and then evaporate more readily and thoroughly than water when left to dry.

Still trying to get feedback on the theory.
[Nexus One General] jettrue:
Re: the alcohol. Had I had any on hand right when it happened, I would have done it, but after a about 5 hours when I got home I didn't want to resubmerge it in any liquid.

But, the good news is, after 30 hours of air drying I rebooted and all is well. :D:D:D

So, I have been looking around in the Framework-res and I see the files needed to have the puzzle lock screen, like on the Fascinate. So, is there a way to use it the I don't know of? If not, could it be ported? Or point me in the right direction to do it myself.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
Try using the search button. This had been asked since the phone was released.

People have tried porting it and it ends up in a boot loop. Right now we are on a leaked version of froyo so I can bet no one had tried porting the puzzle lock for froyo yet untill we get an official release.

The images have been there since eclair. Just cause the images are there mean we cant use them. Theres a **** load of images that we never see thets in the framework
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enragedpaza:
I used search, haha, but thanks for being smart about it.......

Didn't find what you must have seen then, SO SORRY I made one more thread:(

The ones I mainly found were from the Vibrant, Captivate, and the cross seas version....

They had ports, so I figured I would ask

I will take a look but I won't spend alot of time knowing we don't got official froyo yet
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smoothone:
I am so limited on time that I can't really look into this. Most of my visits and replies on XDA are from my mobile but it seems that he has included source for this project so that it can be compiled into other roms. I know this would be a big hit for the Epic. I have seen many people asking about the puzzle lock screen. This is nice because you can select from three or four lock screens in your settings!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samurai3032:
Thats Easy, No Port needed

Just get an original Fascinate rom. With 7zip find android.policy.jar in the framework folder in the system folder and push it with to one you have in adb
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smoothone:
Funny how simple it seems but that will not work! I bet your phone won't even boot. Try it and let me know how it goes!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smoothone:
You have much to learn young padawan. You can get the services jar for the puzzle lock and port it over which would require changes more just a simple extract and push. On the thread I mentioned there are three lock screens with the ability to change between them in your settings application. This would require you to compile its source into your rom or build it into your rom just as ADW is built into CM6 for example. That way you could go into your settings and actually choose which lock screen you like. It is part of the rom since its source is open and available, hence compiled into CM6. I'm not very good at explaining this so I hope it makes sense :~)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magic Oreo:
It is ported to the vibrant. So im guessing it can be done to ours aswell. (not saying it would be easy in anyways)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samurai3032:
then why is it that to port the AOSP lock screen all you need to is push the android.policy.jar file in to place without any moding?:confused:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfiej:
Read the whole thread bro.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smoothone:
If you read the entire thread you will see that in order for that AOSP lock screen to work with our rom it had to be compiled. When you port over a mod or app it is not just cut and paste like your saying. You don't always have to recompile certain things you port over, it depends what you are doing but changes still have to be made. This mod has to be ported over and compiled from source. It is not difficult but I don't have the free time right now to do it. I am mostly on this forum by means of my cell. Its hard for me to sit at my computer for a few hours. Just don't have the time. A simple google search on porting in Android will better educate you. Listen if your so adamant about your cut and paste method then try it yourself. Report back but it will not be good news I promise!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smoothone:
Yes it can be ported over. Not extremely difficult if you know what your doing. Anyone with some free time, lol.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musclehead84:
lol i think we will be waiting a long time if hes doing it. his phone prolly wont turn on now cause he wanted to try his cut and paste method.

[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
**Sigh**

Searching is helpful man, really. There was a thread about this yesterday. Use the program at this link: One Click Root And Recovery

One of its options is a root uninstaller. But FYI as long as you don't install custom roms or delete stock apps you can be rooted and get OTA updates. Again, this is all information you can get using the search function so please, in the future search first.
[Epic 4G General] Koadic:
EDIT: Removed. Duplicate of what kenvan19 said...

But taking a second look at your sig, you may need to flash a stock rom/kernel first, but it may be easier to just use Odin to fully return to a stock phone removing all changes.
[Epic 4G General] raylusk:
In short yes the link you posted would work.

RootUninstaller is Old. Needs updating.

Any one know if there is an updated version?
[Epic 4G General] djbacon06:
just ODIN stock ec05. Or ODIN stock di18 then do update to ec05.

Was wanting to avoid wipe. I have backed up certain apps with titanium on my wifes epic and restored them fine. Now want to remove root and leave hers stock.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
If you have a rooted stock kernel and ROM it will. But if you have a custom ROM and kernel you need to Odin back. Mybackup Pro will allow you to backup and restore unrooted.

Do you BONSAI?
[Epic 4G General] skee/07088:
wheres the EC05 odin file?

Alternatively, check out http://lostandtired.com and go to android development, he has a link to a stock odin flash on multiupload. While you're there, read some about autism awareness, as it is autism awareness month.
[Epic 4G General] ErlyD:
Nope, has anyone tried unrooting? The unroot method does not want to work on EC05. It goes through the process and on everything its says failed! rm /**** no permissions. Also ran CWM to fix permissions..

I still can't find a solution. Stock EC05 that is rooted to 2.5.1.0 using one click root.

Any other tips?
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Just run ODIN and flash a clean stock build of DI18 then OTA over it to EC05.

Hello xda members, I recently did the froyo update and I have noticed that the weather widget (from HTC itself) freezes when I connect the Wildfire to my pc or when I move an app to SD. Does anyone else noticed the same problem?

The only solution so far is to remove the widget and add it again, but I hope there is an automatic option too?

Hi !

Soon as magldr hit 1.11 i switched back to my HD2 from the Desire i got free with my phone contract.

Most of the reasons i had to leave the HD2 are gone now, except the ugly battery drain issue, i have spent a few hours doing searches since i know i would just get flamed by everyone by just asking (Sigh...)

I found the reason, the wifi. Turning off the wifi brings drain back down to 3-5 mah instead of 50-80 mah

This could make sense, but the desire only idled on 15-20mah on wifi sleep policy "never"

so why does the HD2 drain so much? im thinking the android driver been used by the kernel devs might not be the right one.

Further more on the issue is i had the desire on wifi at home for 3 days before i had to charge it over my holidays leading up to new years eve. (I just got back on the HD2 new years day) but judging the rate at wich the HD2 was draining, i doubt itd last more than 5 to 8 hours.
