[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NikieFurrz:
once i do that three androids appear on skateboards lol and it wont go anywhere from there. i think this phone may be completely screwed.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfcalf:
What do you mean by "wont go anywhere"? When you hold down volume and power you should get a screen with three androids on skateboards on the bottom of the screen. Near the middle of the screen there should be some options

Fastboot

Recovery

Factory Reset

Simlock

System Info

Image CRC

You should be able to use your volume buttons on the side of the phone to scroll up and down through that list. when you have the option you want highlighted (in this case factory reset) you can selected it by pressing the power button.

are you able to do that, or are you stuck somewhere else?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markus214:
Please help out as well i have same problem but even after trying to factory reset it still goes into hboot screen. Problem is on a spare phone just need help asap. If you can help i can attach gmail or gtalk or something. Please help tho
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfcalf:
It sounds like your problem may be different. When you turn your phone on is it automatically going to the hboot screen? Do you have a mt4g? your sig says you have a mt3g slide
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markus214:
I'm not sure what the problem is really here i havent started diggign yet i assumed it was needed the pd15img file it is s on i can get into recovery though and yes i havent updated sig in a little bit ;) can you please help though
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfcalf:
what is the problem you are seeing? When you turn your phone on does it go right to hboot? does it boot up? does it freeze up at the first splash screen? does it freeze at boot animation? does it get to the boot animation then reboot?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markus214:
When the power button is hit it goes right into hboot no options to let me go to home screen. I can access fastboot and hboot but i cannot get past these two at all i know the phone is not rooted. the volume keys are acting up a little bit and not letting me get anywhere. If you can help please PM me it would be greatly appreciated
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Your volume keys are stuck (physically or electrically), specifically VolumeDown key, and that's the reason for the misbehavior. In any case, it's almost certainly a HW problem.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markus214:
Thats what i've been thinking as well and tried seeing whats going on and it doesnt seem that there stuck have to pull some stuff apart in any case do you know how to fix this though and get it to boot?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
If you don't have warranty - open the phone and fix/disconnect the volume buttons.

If you have warranty - send it for repairs.

It won't boot when VolDown is pressed, whatever you do.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markus214:
Isn't there also a 1 year warranty covered by manufacturer that would cover stuff like this and i can just say idk what happened
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Yes, exactly.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfcalf:
Just saw this after I replied to your PM. This is most commonly a hardware problem caused by the volume keys, and if yours are acting up I would agree with Jack_R1 and try to use your warranty to fix it.

Ive seen this problem happen twice. (both times on MT3G slides however) Both times I was not able to navigate through the HBOOT screen using the volume keys. However the first time I was able to fix this by putting the ESPRINMG.ZIP on the sd card and ran that automatically. The second time ended up being a hardware problem and had it sent in and replaced.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dietotherhythm:
I wouldn't suggest putting a battery that wasn't designed for your device in it. I tried that once with my G1 and it instantly shorted out when attempting to charge it.

Reading through to process of a custom ROM but noticed all the tools for S-OFF seem to be for Windows.

Are there any tools to do the same but for a Mac?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphuyal:
Not any that i m aware of...I did the whole thing borrowing my friends computer...that is the downside of being a mac user n having an android phone, eh?

Alternatively you can dual boot your mac (or run any vmware)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluebirds:
Bummer! I will have to buy XP and do the dual boot.

Thought someone would have done something for the MAC as the jailbreakers have done for Windows.

Just come over from the dark side having got board of my IP4 so purchased a DHD. Rooting it is turning out to be a royal pain in the arse :p
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Or go here for directions for doing it manually with any flavour of os on your computer, I ran it on Ubuntu
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluebirds:
I think dual boot option seems easier!!

One thing on there it says to downgrade to 1.32 if your on 1.75/1.72

My Software is showing 1.40.61.2. Does this need to be downgraded to 1.32?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
No need to downgrade.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P1xelVandal:
I have a mac, the visionary r14 gave me s-off and then I had to use a pc because I couldn't work out fastboot on my mac. None of the commands work. But once you get that. Eng s-off can be done on the phone. And really mac and Linux are a similar, it should be easy, not having the need for drivers, its just all the people on this forum use PC.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluebirds:
What did you use in the end for fastboot? And how did you get ENG S-OFF on the phone?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinsfan317:
I was recently attempting to flash my captivate with a new rom while following an XDA guide on youtube. I am pretty sure my phone is soft-bricked because Odin got stuck and i was forced to remove my phone. Now my captivate won't turn on and the only thing I can get it to do is enter download mode. Odin still recognizes it but if i click start, now it gets stuck on file analysis. Please Help!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trekie86:
I've seen this problem posted before on the forums. I believe there solution was to remove the battery, SIM, & external SD card. Let the phone sit without the battery for about 5 minutes to fully discharge any capacitor that may be in there.

Start Odin, Odin must be running first. Then connect your phone in download mode. Try it 'start' again and see if it works. Good luck.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinsfan317:
unfortunately, it didn't work. It is still stuck on file analysis.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinsfan317:
*UPDATE* now it does get past file analysis, however gets stuck on do not turn off target. I start odin first, then plug in phone into download mode, so the order of operations isnt the issue here
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengbo:
what is your build number? try odin3, not the one-click.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinsfan317:
thanks for the response mengbo, my build number is whatever the latest one for ATT is. (JH6, JH7? ) I don't remember the exact one. and Ill give odin3 a try. Is there any way you could link me to it? I have been searching for it to no avail.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengbo:
the build number is under your battery, 4 digits, like 1008, 1010, etc. i am searching the odin3 for you now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trekie86:
The JH# is your modem. Like mengbo said, the build number is under your battery. It will be 10## typically. That indicates the year and then month your phone was manufactured. My first captivate said 1008, August 2010. My current one is a refurb 1007. July 2010. Some of the batches have issues with Odin. I haven't used Odin3 before for any flashing, just the one-click version so good luck. Sorry I couldn't help work out your problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinsfan317:
My build number is 10.07
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengbo:
i found a link :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36

i do not know it will work for the build 1007 since i do not have that build phone and cannot test it here.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinsfan317:
O thank god, I finally got the one-click to work. I flashed back to jh6 and I am going to proceed to flash to cognition. Thanks for your help guys.

When I plugged in the phone in download mode odin didn't detect it. No yellow in COM port. Any ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Try multiple ports

Make sure drivers are installed

Make sure you are using oem cord
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
It's on one of the rear ports because I figure that's more likely to be connected to the motherboard. Will try another and unplug my usb mouse.

Check.

Check.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:

Here is a pic of my home screen, nothing too different than stock, I like to keep it clean and simple. But would like to know how to get transparent app icons names, without the black border ? Right now they have the black bubble under each app, is there a way to not have that black border, and just the white icon name only ?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Autris:
[Off topic] What rom is this? (4G icon looks pretty good)

[On Topic] If your using ADW Launcher (That's what it looks like to me), there is an option to turn off the background borders. Not sure, i think its under user interface.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DeathBySnuggles:
Download Desktop Visualizer free in the market. Use it to place your icons on the desktop and you can do with or without the background, with white text or black. You set each icon up and a widget.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] limitedtime:
What Launcher is this? Thank you!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Nnyan:
This may vary depending on your launcher but for mine ADWLauncher goto ADW Settings > UI Settings > Icons > New Icon Settings > Icon Label Color. Bringing it all the way to the left makes it transparent I believe.

When I got problems because of Magldr 1.13, I went first to SPL 2.08 using HSPL3 then to SPL 1.66 using HSPL2, then first flashing stock ROM 1.66 and then stock ROM 3.14. I have used USB flashing from volDown+start buton.

I hope it helps ;)

Battery

Battery out for 30 sec, battery in, press volDown (and keep it pressed till tricolor boot), short press start button; after U see tricolor and serial on the down screen, plug USB ---> serial will change in USB then flash....

And don't forget battery level 50% or more (usualy 80%) before flashing!!!

I say HSPL3 and HSPL2 and not SPL3!!!!

[HD7 General] JWhipple:
Ive been seriously looking at the WP7 series and I'm curious to hear from real-world users who have been in the same boat as me. I've been an Android person for the past year now and as much as I like Android, I like to keep my options open too!

So tell me - why did YOU switch from Android to WP7 and would you do it again if you had the chance ?
[HD7 General] fraize:
I've been playing with WP7, mostly to see what "the other side" has been up to. I've had WinCE devices going back to the 1.x days, and always loved it, but trying to cram a desktop OS into a hand-held device always seemed awkward.

I got an iPhone and loved it for a couple of years, but got handed a G1 and fell in love with the potential that Android represented. It wasn't quite "there" yet, so I switched back and forth from Android to iOS and back for a good year before settling full-time with Android on my Nexus One.

Now I've got a Nexus-S and I love it, but I was able to play with a WP7 device in the form of the HD7, and I really like it, however...

Coming from Android, Google's services, search, GMail, and Maps, are so much better in ability than Bing, Hotmail, and Bing Maps that I missed my Nexus S. I love the user-interface of WP7, and hope that it evolves a bit more.

WP7's approach to real-time usability is great. Apps are smooth and clean, and much less jerky than Android apps seem to be at times. The OS seems well suited to doing one thing at a time, really well. I wish Android was better at maintaining higher priority for foreground apps, instead of making things choppy with garbage-collection.

If you have a chance to wait until the January (now February) update happens, I would. Things could get much better for WP7 very soon, but who knows? I'm keeping my options open.
[HD7 General] evolutionqy7:
the biggest disappointment is in Bing and Zune services. Since their not available in Ireland. The prolonged wait for update kinda adds up too :(

Though otherwise than that its all ok :)

I had a HD2 with Android and reason why i sold it because once i played with WP7 i felt that Androids UI was so boring.

Games on WP7 are much better too than Android. Alot of devs from iPhone have hopped aboard.
[HD7 General] JWhipple:
Anyone else? This is good stuff! Keep it coming!
[HD7 General] ksizzle9:
I still use my android from day to day. They se the best overall in terms of a combination of things such as features and useability. Tho WP7 has a slick UI its missing things like the gmail intergration and Google maps, but it has a music client that's not as good as iTunes. Then there is iOS, its great, easy to use, simple, and reliable, at the end of the day that's what makes IOS sell, just like variety is what makes android sell. For WP7 to catch up they need to release a groundbreaker, something that blows the competition away spec wise. I played with a Samsung WP7 At att the other day while stopping in to see an old friend, windows on a phone has came a long way since WinMo6.5. I will say that. It just depends on what u want at the end of the day

i move to wp7, because i simple hates its lag and UI..
[HD7 General] Nissan350:
I've been an Android user since the G1 days and this may sound stupid, but the main reasons i switched is because Android is FAR too customizable. To some, that can be a bad thing. I found myself changing themes, layouts, icon sets, etc.. way more than i should, which took up far too much time in my day. I never really had a feeling of satisfaction with Android. Thats the first thing. The second thing is the force closures and the occasional lag (I came from a G2 so it definitely wasn't my device) Android is an awesome platform, however, I still feel like its something Google just slapped together, even if thats not the case. the third thing is its lack of consistency. like i said earlier, i customized my ROMs a lot. My home screens, icon sets, fonts, and launcher theme all were consistent. Then when you open an app (the dialer for example) its a whole different look. This may not bother some people but it bothered me quite a bit and im sure im not the only one. Im not saying WP7 is perfect because its far from that. BUT i love the consistency throughout the platform, even when you download apps from the market, most of them seem to follow that metro UI interface. the fact that its customization is limited to tile placement and color gives me a sense of satisfaction knowing that there is no other way you could have it, which means less time trying to get it the way you want it. I also love the smoothness as well. the fact that it does not support multi tasking has yet to bother me as I never really do more than one thing on my phone anyway. I am, however, frustrated with the lack of copy/paste (which will be fixed soon) and lets not forget the dreadful marketplace which locks up randomly causing users to reboot. I also am disappointed in Bing maps. i would much rather prefer to use Google maps. its just easier. The only thing i can truly say i miss from Android is the WIFI calling. I spend most of my time in my basement. I hardly get signal except for one corner. at the end of the day, i am happier with WP7 because of its simplicity, performance, and ease of use as well as its "polished" feel.
[HD7 General] JWhipple:
I'm glad I am not the only one who actually finds that Android is TOO customizable. I find myself spending hours each day fiddling with it!
