sounds like your SD card isn't formatted right or could be corrupted. you're not bricked if you can hboot
[myTouch 4G General] accido:
I am having the same issue, stating "it isn't bricked" without any explanation isn't very helpful. I have tried reformatting my SD card with no avail even tried a different SD card. as far as I am aware unless you have the eng-hboot there isn't a way to fix this since fastboot does not work
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
If you can get into Fastboot or the Recovery Screen simply means just that it's not bricked. A truly bricked phone you cannot get into the engineering screen nor the recovery image.

On the HBoot screen can you get to recovery and access it? If so what comes up?
[myTouch 4G General] froggg:
I dont understand the problem. it sounds like he got a bad download. If his sd was formated wrong it wouldnt load at all. oance you have clockwork installed it is impossabl to brick. You can pull your battery in the middle of a rom load and be fine
[myTouch 4G General] TheHypebeast:
When i hold the volume down and power it takes me into the hboot screen, if i have the PD15IMG.zip on my sdcard it automatically reads it then the blue status bar appears it loads then it asks if i want to start update, I press volume up and it fails. I noticed towards the bottom it says "Partition update fail" and under that "update fail"

I can go into recovery, ClockworkMod 3.0.0.5 recovery but i get a messages stating

E:cant mount ?cache/recovery/command

E:cant mount /cache/recovery/log

E:cant open /cache/recovery/log

E:cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log

I read through it, same issue im having only that he was on .86.0000 and im on .85.2007 and he was able to fix and restore with PD15IMG and i get the partition fail
[myTouch 4G General] froggg:
Try flashing it through clockwork recovery. Put the zip image in a folder then boot holding volume down and power. When you can chose options in hboot go to recovery hit trackball. You should no what to do from there
[myTouch 4G General] option94:
Keep looking for a better answer, but if you find nothing you can try this. You'll need adb and fastboot working.

Find an only nandroid, and put the system.img, boot.img and recovery.img from it in your android sdk tools folder.

Reboot into hboot by pressing volume down and power.

Scroll to fastboot and press power.

then type

fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Then fastboot reboot and you should be ok.

After the first "fastboot erase system -w" i get "erasing system..." and it just sits there i waited for about ten minutes, how long should that first one take?
[myTouch 4G General] option94:
Should only take a few seconds.

You may have a hardware problem at this point.

How can I get my computer to recognize my phone? I can't power up and no hboot with holding down power + vol down. Please help !!
[myTouch 4G General] Marine6680:
Could the partitions be wrong somehow? I do not know how to fix that, someone else may. I know sometimes the partitions can get out of wack, or at least I have heard of it on other devices, I think I recall it for this one as well.

Also, try downloading the img file again. I believe you must extract it one time to get the proper zip file needed to flash it. I believe the version I downloaded was the pd15img.zip compressed further into a second zip file. when you look in the file you should see several img files, not a folder.

Also, make sure you are using the proper recovery for the ROM, ROM manager app tells you to update your recovery every time you start it if you are not using 3.0.0.5, if you do update, the phone will keep running but if you later flash a new froyo ROM then you will have issues.

At this point, I would try re-downloading the pd15img file and trying fresh to rule out bad downloads, or flashing a known good ROM zip, and ensuring it works with your recovery version.

Sounds like you are full bricked. That means you can not fix it.

It can be fixed, but only with special equipment that can flash information straight to the internal memory chips. Meaning you need access to the internal components along with the software and equipment. So that means HTC engineering dept is about the only ones who can.

It is really hard to brick a device. Only times you can do it are anytime the Hboot file is flashed or the radio is flashed. As those two files are what boots the hardware and readies the software to boot. Thing is, you don't flash those often. Just once for Hboot, and radio firmware updates are very rare.

Dev posts on rooting need to state that flashing the engineering Hboot should be optional AND only for those experienced in flashing and rooting. First time flashers should probably avoid it for a while.

Thing is, flashing the pd15img file can brick a device as it flashes Hboot and radio.
[myTouch 4G General] chipis:
Try this method, let me know if it works for you..

----> Try not to plug Your device on your computer , Put your image in sd card/ then Reboot into the hboot-- and the phone the automatically detects you image in the sdcard and the phone do the rest.. If you see in the upper right corner a bar thats ok its fine.. The phone loads the image and wait be patient.. the it would ask you when its done if you want those settings to be back to stock ROM. Just Click the Up Volume button , and thats it... Try Backing up after you made some changes on the phone.... <------
[myTouch 4G General] chipis:
Its not Brick it just stuck on something undone....
[myTouch 4G General] boutatl:
Same Issue here..

After going into Hboot phone fails on flashing back to STOCK Rom:

Radio_V2 -gets stuck updating, goes up to about 90% and stays

Get's stuck on updating radio and doesn't move, I have let it sit over 30min using different Stock roms and re downloading from various sources.

I realize my issue was Clockwork Recovery version 3.0.0.5, I had loaded CM7 and then "not knowing" flashed MTG Gorilla Sense, not once but 4 times and it worked "even" with CWR 3.0.0.5, now I'm trying to flash back to CM7 just to downgrade to CWR 2.5.1.2 and cannot. It seems the phone will not flash at all at this point, nothing. I understand a true brick is not having access to anything. I have access to CWR and HBOOT, but I cannot do anything.
[myTouch 4G General] xl DIGITAL lx:
Im stuck exactly at the same point as your are in. Don't know what to do now.
[myTouch 4G General] boutatl:
After spending almost all of yesterday and half of today I have no idea what to do in the situation. I cannot believe know one is aware of this issue and THEN constantly state you are not "bricked" well if I'm not, I'd like to know how the hell to get out of this. I have a phone I cannot use.
[myTouch 4G General] darinmc:
Keep in mind that the term bricked refers to user created situations. It does not refer to hardware malfunctions. So while you may not be bricked, you may not be able to recover your phone because there is something wrong with the internal memory or some other hardware issue. If you are confident you have followed all suggestions to the "T," then you have to deal with a warranty exchange or a return or an insurance claim, because everyone has given you the advice needed to recover a phone in your situation. It's no one's fault the answers aren't easily accessible.
[myTouch 4G General] boutatl:
I must say you have a valid point. So based on your point I have decided to allow the device to discharge it's memory without SIM, SD or battery for over 30min. I don't see how the HW could fail when it's been working fine, but who knows. I will try again. And report my results.
[myTouch 4G General] boutatl:
No change...

I don't know how I have hardware failure after just installing two roms and rooting my device.
[myTouch 4G General] xl DIGITAL lx:
This happened to me after I came home. My phone started to act weird, freezing up even though it wasnt overclocked and I responded by just wiping everything and starting from scratch. In doing so, I tried booting up and it wouldnt go pass the splash screen. Weird right now I'm going to try to send it in to tmobile even though its unlocked and rooted still. Would tmobile do anything about it?
[myTouch 4G General] boutatl:
I really have no idea how they would respond. I mean it's worth a try and like most "chances" you have a 50/50. Plus worst case, they send it back to you, I doubt they will keep it. Good luck
[myTouch 4G General] xl DIGITAL lx:
Thanks and I just hope that they wont charge me. Really worried about this :eek:
[myTouch 4G General] boutatl:
I would relax. Put good energy out there. I seriously doubt they have the time to look at every single phone. "that's just my guess"
[myTouch 4G General] lowandbehold:
I really don't care about the terms. If I can't make a phone call...my phone is f'n bricked!
[myTouch 4G General] boutatl:
Agree. I'm really surprised there are no more responses. I guess the phones are bricked, even with getting into CWR or HBOOT it's useless if you can do anything.
[myTouch 4G General] mustk1ll20:
They prolly won't do anything but send you a new phone. I've sent back 4 phones that have been modded. Never herd anything from tmobile about it.
[myTouch 4G General] darinmc:
Fair enough, you don't care about the terms. If you're reading this thread, however, you're searching for answers on how to fix your device. The point of my post was to remind people that the answers provided are what is available, if they don't solve your problem demanding explanations gets you nowhere. Try what is suggested, if it doesn't work you are out of luck. There is a reason why the forum is flooded with disclaimers.

Semi Brick Recovery Guide for Mytouch 4g

Is there a semi brick guild for the Glacier?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842495
[myTouch 4G General] lowandbehold:
Not the case. I am reading this thread to learn as much as possible. This is not the first person with this issue, and it seems there is no fix for this issue...at least not yet. And in the first couple responses he was ripped for using the term "bricked". So my point was, if this cannot be fixed, how can you say it is not a brick just because you can get into hboot and recovery? I thought the term came about because your phone is worth as much as a $500 brick. And the way it is looking, this is exactly the case.

Have you read the guide posted right above you?
[myTouch 4G General] darinmc:
I'm sorry if my first post was misunderstood, while initially discussing semantics, the idea was to point out that a question was asked, solutions were SEARCHED FOR and given. If they didn't fix the device, it has to be considered that it is a hardware failure. If that answer is unacceptable to you, do what the people offering answers did, search for it. Getting upset that no one is fixing your device for you isn't really in the spirit of these forums. That's all. Keep looking or accept that you have to try and get a new phone.
[myTouch 4G General] lowandbehold:
Ok, lets try this again...my phone is not broken. I am not the person with the issue. My phone is 100% functional. I am not the original poster. My phone works. I was just annoyed at the people slamming this guy for saying his phone was bricked.
[myTouch 4G General] darinmc:
I'm sorry I got involved. Good luck to the OP and anyone with this issue. I hope you find an answer or a warranty exchange...

Something weird that just happened to me was that it mounted the system once in clockwork recovery and now it wont do it again.

ya'll think its possible to back up another My touch 4G and use that info to restore the one that isnt working where as its stuck in hboot and i can access recovery mode but if i try to restore it i get the same issue as listed about the exact issue.
[myTouch 4G General] kalel33:
I seen this thread today and just wanted to clear some things up on this post. T-mobile will NEVER send you back a phone that you sent in for warranty exchange. They explicitly state this during the exchange. If they see that the phone is out of warranty due to to damage or rooting then you get hit with an OOW fee.
[myTouch 4G General] knightrider3000:
Thanks for the advice - I thought I had soft bricked my phone (CMW recovery working, but phone not) ... kept trying different things, reading all of the articles, re-flashing, etc. After about a week I re-read this and thought SD card.

I ended-up changing out my SD card to one that was working in another phone - fixed the issue.

Hi all,

I'm using my tried and tested Nokia BH-500 Bluetooth Headset with my Shure EC2g in ear phones with excellent results for both Music and Video and all the functions work perfectly with it. Although it doesn't alter the volume on the Xoom it does have its own volume control which increases the volume available from whatever its attached to. The only thing it won't do is control anything but the in built music player if I try using it with Lithium Player it just launches the Xoom music player. For video playback I'm using VPlayer and it works fine for sound but no other controls work with it, I now no longer feel I need Lithium as the Music Player on the Xoom does a great job and I like the Album art view it gives and just don't really feel the need for the widget Lithium play gave me any longer.

[EVO Shift 4G General] wireless.praying.mantis:
The only way for CPU OCing on an Android OS device to work is to root it. A stock kernel's CPU values are static i.e. locked to a min/max frequency. By rooting the device, these values become dynamic which allows you to set them. Just be cautious of the values you set as either too low or too high may cause the device to lock up or reboot.

Apparently you're supposed to have the stock music player set to "party shuffle" and then that widget in the car dock app works great. Plays all songs.

And I'll try talking with somebody with the phone not in speaker phone, I'm pretty sure it will work so that they can hear me, and I can hear them through car speakers.
