MyTouch 4G stuck on boot loop, s-on

---

Hello,

I am trying to fix my friends MyTouch 4G. The phone was in a pretty terrible state when he got it. The power button was not working, but I have opened the phone up and found a way of making it work.

Another problem, which I can't seem to work around is that the phone is stuck in "bootloop" (i think thats what it's called). Basically when I plug the charger in, an orange light blinks on top left of the phone and the "mytouch 4g screen" comes up. But then it goes away again and the phone restarts. It keeps doing that.

I can get the phone into the (hboot?) screen which gives me the options of fastboot, recovery, factory reset, simlock, and image crc. I have tried recovery and factory reset, both don't work. I have searched around a lot but to no avail.

Here is more information on the "hboot" screen, if it's needed:

GLACIER PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.86.0000
MICROP-0429
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot

Please help me, I am a noob at this

There is a thread below with stock image. You can download one, put it on sdcard and try to install it.

Are you using Froyo or Gingerbread?

why can't you get into hboot?

What thread should I look at? Also, are you referring to the file: PD15IMG.zip? I did put it on the MicroSD card, but I don't know where to go from there.

Yes, I can get to hboot, but I dont know where to go from there.

If you have the .zip on your sd card when you boot into hboot it should read it automatically, asking permission first.

Nope, not working. I have the file on my MicroSD card, but when I get to the hboot screen it just gives me the same options as I mentioned above. Isn't asking for any permissions.

Maybe I have the wrong file, in which case can anyone redirect me to the right one?

I have read both these posts before. According to them, I need to put the .zip file into the root of the SDcard, which I can't access since the phone won't boot up. I have even tried putting the file into MicroSD card, but still nothing.

If you have an SD reader copy it while on PC to the root of the SD card. If not and you have another Android phone put the SD card in it and copy the file to the root of the SD card. If need the file download it with another Android phone with that SD card inserted, then copy it to root of the SD card.
