When I hold the power button and then touch the turn off option I am unable to hit "ok" or "cancel" on the final confirmation screen before turning off the phone. Most of the time both options are completely unresponsive to touch although the back button does work to get out of the power down process. I have had success a few times if I start from power down process from the browser as opposed to the home screen. I searched and couldn't find anything on this. Any help?
This is the screen I'm having trouble with:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Update: It won't even work for me when I start from my browser now. This is isn't the only menu I'm having issues with either. For instance, I can't select "edit" from ##data# either, only view.
I want to say this happened somewhere in the process of running the ruu on my pc to go back to stock from aloysius and then re-rooting and loading the flipz stocker. All of that, of course, was an attempt to fix my rooted 4g issues. But I can't even complete all those steps since the ##data# menu is "broken". I'm definitely frustrated.
run the RUU again, if youre still having screen issues try and get it replaced, it might be a hardware problem.
Just finished with ruu again and 4G is fixed but the screen issues remain. Yeah, I'm guessing hardware now too...just a funny coincidence with what I was doing yesterday. Now I'm faced with:
1) replace and forget about root for a while- too many issues!
2) return/cancel/droidx
every phone will have its issues, refering to the droidx, it sucks you had so many issues with rooting your phone. not to throw it in your face or anything, but there are plenty of us who have rooted phones and are quite content, give it another go if you'd like, plenty of help here.
Yeah it does sound like my issue is truly unique.
Anyone have or hear of something like this?
Some more info:
I tried to reset my now stock phone through setting>privacy. The "Reset phone" button is unresponsive so I can't do that either. I pulled the battery and then turned it on holding down the volume down button and then got into the stock recovery. I selected the factory reset from there and while the phone reset the first message that flashed while it was going through the process was:
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Does that mean anything to anyone?

Hello everyone,
I am looking for help for my WS003SH. I did a hard reset yesterday after I was suddenly unable to browse anything on the device - only on the miniSD card.
So I did what some member here explained - hold the Reset button for 15 sec., then press Fn+F+PWR.
So when I started it it was all in Japanese but the Start button and clock and battery indicator etc were missing and the device Windows button doesn't work. The screen is not responding properly, only the keys work; the camera won't start either. So I don't know what to do.
I tried adding the Start Menu and Startup folders via ActiveSync but this idn't help either.
I am thinking of reflashing Windows but unsure about it all. Any help would be most apprecated!
Here's what it looks like now:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Thanks! Problem has been sorted (with your help of course).
It appears I did not properly do the hard reset - the instructions given by SOLIDGOD at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378883 were not exactly correct.
So, for anyone who might need to do a hard reset, here's how to:
1. Open back cover,
2. Remove battery - not entirely, just the connectors,
3. Press reset button,
2. Place battery back - DO NOT release reset button,
3. Hold reset button for 15 seconds,
4. Power up device -- no need to press Fn+F+PWR -- just the Power button.
In order to properly hard reset your device, whatever make it is, it needs power, which you don't have if you take out the battery. Which was what caused my problem with the missing Start menu.
So, enjoy!
Hi cheeseus
I encountered the exactly same problem as you did, and I followed your instructions step by step, but it didn't help. The start menu is still not there, Can you tell me how you solved this in detail? Thank you very much!
Problem solved with the help of Cheeseus, forgot to mention it here.
So I dropped my Epic face down on the sidewalk yesterday and cracked the screen badly. The phone still seems to boot but is non-responsive to touch so I cant get past the lockscreen. I can also boot into CWM but can only see the bottom corner of the menu as the upper left quadrant of the screen is totally out.
My question is - can I somehow run a backup without access to the touchscreen? Either through Titanium or (even better) in CWM? FYI, I have adb installed on my laptop and have used it before with the phone but have VERY limited knowledge of how to use it. I am however, willing to learn.
If someone could even point me in the right direction I would be hugely appreciative.
Since you don't use the touchscreen to make a CWM backup it is completely within your abilities to do so.
I couldn't find a picture of the purple clockwork so you'd be able to have a bit of an idea where each item is without being able to see it, but this might help.

Thanks ! I think you're right that I COULD get it to work that way, but I would need more info. First, I am running the Bonsai version of recovery and so would need steps specific to that version. Second, I don't know what is on the following screens so would not know what to do next. If someone could tell me step by step like: press down volume 4 times, hit camera button, press down twice, etc etc... then maybe I could get it o work that way.

I don't have bonsai recovery and I'm not sure how many people here use it compared to the more universal clockworkmod recovery, you might want to head over to the bonsai forums and ask for step-by-step directions.

I responded to you on the Bonsai site but in case you read it here first it is Volume down 5 times and camera button twice.

Thanks Kenny. Did it but I don't think it worked. Oh well.
FYI, I think the problem is my phone now, not the instructions. I don't think I am even getting into recovery anymore...
Hello everyone.
I have a really wierd problem with defy's buttons (menu, home, back, search). They stoped working at all.
So for a couple months I have been having strange problems with the buttons. It looked like home button was pushed and app drawer was opening/closing really fast. Reset has helped, but temporary.
And about a week ago the buttons stoped working at all. I tried to flash another ROM (official 2.2), but it didn't help.
And now I don't know what to do. I goggled it, but there is no information about such problem.
If somebody can give an advice, please let me know.
Thanks.
Nobody ? That's sad. XDA was my last hope) Well, I guess I will sell it for parts.
try doing an sbf. if that doesn't work, then there is hardware issue.
edit: dont know if you already did..since you said you flashed an official 2.2 rom..
Don't know if this will work but it won't hurt to try

Download the files and android commander search it up. It's easier than manually using adb commands.
Connect your phone to pc and make sure usb debugging is on
In android commander navigate to system/usr/layout
Then click on push on the toolbar in android commander
Select the files you downloaded then right click on each file that you just added then click on properties
make sure each one looks like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

Maybe this will fix your buttons?
from http://android.site666.info/indextricks.htm :
home key, search button, security lock, power button options: repair them
Some phones do strange things at random: your home and search buttons stop working, your security lock won't load (leaving your data wide open), and if you hit the power button then reboot is your only option, because silent mode and flight mode are missing from the list.
There's nothing wrong with the buttons on your phone, but there's something wrong with the software that controls them.
• Fix: backup your apps and data, reset your phone to factory settings, restore your backups.
Make sure you have a full backup or two and check that the backups work before resetting your phone.

Turn lockscreen off

Can someone help me get into recovery mode on my Verizon G4? I want to clear the cache.
I have read to turn it off, then press & hold Power and Volume Down, until the LG logo appears. Then release only Power, then press & hold Power again, until the recovery screen appears. And I'd swear I'd gotten in this way on a previous Verizon G4.
But I can't get it to work on this phone. Either on software 610B, or having just upgraded to 611A. It either just boots up normally, or if I keep holding Power, it seems to just reboot again.
What am I doing wrong? Sorry for the basic question, but I've tried it a bunch of times, with no success.

It's probably the same as the g3. I would just hold volume down and power until the stock recovery popped up. Not letting off at all.
That did it, thank you! That was easy. And this was different than what I had read elsewhere.

I originally read the way you described first for my g3. So you can only go with the info given. I just happen to figure out just holding them works best. If you have root access just get quick boot from the play store. Makes it easy to get into custom recovery.

Hello there! Apologies for the vague thread name, I'm actually unsure what is wrong with the phone -long story short, I've bought it in CashConverters, thinking I could earn some (M9 for thirdy quid? bloody hell).
The phone does turn on, so I don't think it's hard-bricked. When the phone is turned on, it goes to this menu
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

REBOOT and REBOOT TO BOOTLOADER result in the same, as does turning it on after POWER DOWN.
After pressing BOOT TO DOWNLOAD MODE, this menu pops up, and pretty much goes back to the first one upon VOL UP or VOL DOWN.
BOOT TO RECOVERY MODE does work, and results in this menu
I have once attempted to "apply an update from SD card", it resulted in this, and decided not to test my luck.
Couple things to note, I do IT for a living, started working on it yesterday, 2pm - 2am, mostly reading through XDA and android pages, didn't manage to find a solution yet, and I'll stab myself with a spoon if I failed at searching.
My question is: can I fix it? Is it worth it?
You could flash a RUU.exe if its a tmobile, verizon, sprint etc. Other than that i dont know... You cant even see what firmware number you got

I assume it's O2 because it says himauhl_o2_uk, plus an O2 sticker. Other than that, I don't know, as I can only access recovery, and literally got it in that state.
Edit: I assume it's caused by someone disconnecting the phone while updating through HTC Sync, but I am unsure.
I am having this same exact issue with my Sprint M9. I have tried installing the 0PJAIMG from the SD Card and no love. Get error E:footer is wrong signature verification failed.
Any help with this would be much appreciated.
