I have an unrooted slide that two days ago turned off all of a sudden and when I turned it back on it wouldn't boot past the my touch screen and it is stuck that way.. I guess this is what I get for NOT rooting my device and thus not being able to flash a new rom, but I'm wondering if there is any other option I have to try and re flash the phone, or load up something from the bootloader.. the bootloader is the only part of the phone I can access.. Any help would be greatly appreciated before I have to do a swap for a new one.. oh and I did try the reset from bootloader, a few times.. no help..

42 posts later and you still don't know to ask questions in the Q&A board?
Boot in the stock hardware's recovery by holding VolumeDown + Power when you boot up your phone. You can probably root your phone from there, but I honestly forgot the procedures because I had to try different methods until it actually worked.

I'd just take it to T-Mobile. If you're not rooted, they'll just replace it for free. Why bother trying to root it, which you could screw up, if something is already wrong with the phone? What if you mess up the rooting process, and then REALLY can't get a replacement?
Moved to Q&A. Please don't post question threads in Development.
Unrooted Mytouch 3G Slide Stuck on Splash Screen
Good Day everybody, I'm not living in the us currently and i'm having the same problem as the guy mentioned above. I previously owned this mytouch 3g slide, never rooted. Gave to my GF and it seems that either she's messed this phone up, or it just self destructed from improper use of the android os.. My problem is i just have this phone laying here, I'm from the bahamas so the t mobile option is well.. not an option. Is there anyway I can get this phone backup and running? I try HBOOT, seems to be the only thing working, when i clear storage, it shuts off completely and when i try recovery it reboots and is stuck at the splash screen all over again. I'd appreciate anyones help on this matter.

I tried this today http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/HTC_mytouch_3G_Slide and it worked for me semi rooted with s-on running cm7. As long as u could get into the bootloader/ fastboot screen

Okay... i've tried a bunch of stuff now and i'm stuck. I was doing the 2.3.2 to root to 2.3.3/4 flash upgrade process. my battery was charged to 100%, but now (as typically happens with this process) it says 0% and closes the phone.
I've tried pulling the battery as described in the walkthrough, but it doesn't solve it.
I can't charge it because the battery is at 100%. does anyone know how to manually discharge the battery, or have any other suggestions?
I have the same problem
further information - the battery calibration app changes nothing. i (while plugged in) rooted and downloaded the battery calibration app (this one https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&feature=search_result), turned off the wait til 100% and hit calibrate. nothing changed.
Any tips on manually wiping the battery stats? my phone has been plugged in for 2 hours and still says 0%.
---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------
Further, after the above thing where i did the battery calibration, then left the battery out of the phone for 15 minutes, put it back in, still says 0% and shuts off (not plugged in).
I need some suggestions here.
and further further, i went in with root explorer and deleted the batterystats.bin file manually from data/system. this hasn't worked either.
I'm about to try to drain the battery by letting it sit for a couple days, but as there's no load i'm not sure how successful this will be. again, any suggestions would be great.
i have the same issue when flashing 2.3.4 then back to 2.3.2,after gingerbreak reboot the battery is 0%
flash back to 2.3.2, root it with gingerbreak. instal root explorer or something likewise, go to Data-> System -> Batterybins.bin and delte batterybins.bin. after reboot it should be fixed again
flashed 2.3.2. installed explorer. went to my sd card, installed gingerbreak. rooted. reboot. installed root explorer. deleted batterystats.bin. shut down phone. pulled battery for 5 minutes. replaced battery.
boots to 0% and dies.
---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------
of note, it *always* boots, so it definitely a software file issue. i'm trying to charge it with my sim pulled. whenever it boots without being plugged in, or when i pull the plug, it always announces that there's no sim card first, so i'm trying anything.
can someone point me to a rogers branded firmware in case i have to return this?
---------- Post added at 11:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------
okay, flashed 2.3.4 and still no luck. battery just sits there at zero.
this f*cking sucks.
im in the same vote as you im trying to do a phone repair to see if that will work. not fun at all

Just tried. It tells me there is no software for my phone.
Next up, install one of these two: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042963&highlight=lt15a and see. i'm basically going to stop f*cking with it as soon as i get my battery back. screw root and updates, i've been without a phone for less than 24 hours but this is stressing me the hell out.
yeah tried the repair tried a few diffrent firmwares the orignal rogers firmware still 0% deleted battery.bin file still 0% not super happy thats for sure
---------- Post added at 02:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 AM ----------
went back to 2.3.4 still 0% wow soo annoying im pretty choked about it. dont know what else i can do.

i'm trying the last thing we have left - attempting to drain the battery over time to see if that sorts it. otherwise i've got a POS that i have to return to Rogers.
mine shuts down as soon as i unplug it so i dont know what the issue is im with rogers too so maybe its something to do with their phone. or what they have done to it. annoying though. hoping it will fix itself cause ive tried everythign else i can think of. dosent even feel like the battery is getting warm when plugged in. the repair option on the pc software didnt seem to do much either.
can we just confirm symptoms? here's mine:
1) turn it on
2) get SE screen
3) get swirly animation
4) boots to 0%
5) says mounting sd card - network is rogers
6) then it says no sd card, no sim card, no service
7) and craps out seconds later.
at this point, like i said, i'm gonna turn it on every time i think to until it won't boot anymore, then try charging it again. if that doesn't work i'm going to flash back to stock (hopefully rogers) and tell them "it broke"
its still bootloader and simlocked, so they should swap it before they notice i tinkered with it (cross your fingers).
yep thats exactly what happens to me even when i flash back to the stock rogers firmware i still get 0% and it dies as soon as it starts. mine is boot and sim locked too
my girlfriend has the same phone so i tried her battery that was charged still the same thing 0% and it shuts down.
dude, i tried the same thing
flashed 2.3.4... dont like it and want to go back
battery 0%...
Sony f* us good..
Man, I'm so choked..
Can anyone help me?
battery problem is also happening for me... (
but that was not on first boot when i flash the rom
it was after i gain root access...
now i dont know what to do...
There must be a way to fix this.
It's definitely a software problem.
I believe sony did this on purpose so root cannot be accessed.

I have the same problem with my screen i didnt care for a couple of weeks but now it can be like 10 minutes locking and unlocking until i finally get the screen to turn on ( the touch works since it vibrates when i touch the screen.) i send it to SE but they refused it since it had traces of water i went back to 2.3.3 but still nothing. for last resort i opened my play and reconnect everything but the problem persists. I do not now what else to do...

Flashing a kernel,Running on custom Rom or unlocking your bootloader does cause this problem.Just unlocked my bootloader and flashed a rom.Yeah it went all blank,the screen,so I decided to relock it and repair the firmware using SEMC.From then on it functioned normally.

Have you tried repairing the firmware using SEMC yet?It should reinstall the firmware since the firmware's the one usually causing these problems.It would be best if you backup your apps first.

I had the same problem on my milestone about an year ago and it was because of humidity, at least thats what the guys at a local repair shop told me. They said it's not software related. Anyways the phone was ruined.

Sorry it was actually Sony Ericsson "Pc" Companion,which you have to use your pc to reinstall the firmware again if it helps.Make sure this SE Pc Companion is installed on your computer.Here's the link to download it. http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/mobilephones/downloads/subject/pccompanion/xperia-play?cc=ca&lc=en
If your bootloader's still locked you may want to go ahead and first,press start under support zone,then click start under phone software update(Don't connect your phone yet).It will come up with the "Could not find phone" prompt so go ahead and press repair phone which is underlined blue under the prompt.After that just do what it says on your Xperia Play.
If your hardware's the problem then I can't help you much.
didnt work, maybe its hardware problem, i think that bringing my phone on repair shop is the best solution
I don't know how, but i wound up on the bootloader screen, and no matter if i power off or reboot, it still brings me there only. Then i selected (tried) HBoot. Now i am stuck there. I am on stock only, never unlocked. On 1.29 (SH25). There are following options shown: Fastboot, Recovery, Factory Reset, Simlock, Show Barcode and Image CRC.
All I want to do is boot the phone into regular stock. What shall i select besides Factory Reset? Kindly Help ASAP.
Many Thanks in advance.

have you tried doing factory reset? i know you will lose stuff but worth trying to see if the phone will work again..well should do..my first thing would be to do factory reset since you tried rebooting.
or go into bootloader and try fastboot reboot (command that is)

It allows you to perform various functions on your phone via USB and a PC operating system.

what he said basically
use the following commands
"fastboot erase cache"
"fastboot reboot" and see what happens
Oh well, I tried Reboot, Fast Boot as well as Factory Reset. Nothing seems to work . They all restarts the phone and brings back the bootloader screen.
While restarting, right under HTC logo, it momentarily displays: "This build is for development purpose only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action."
Guess i will have to bring it back to the retailer.
Seems like you have unlocked and relocked the bootloader.
You will need to download the correct imagine file (RUU) for your phone and follow instructions.
Can you find a guide on the internet?
You will probably have to unlock the bootloader again to get some information from your phone in Fastboot mode.

No, you should see some action before 5 minutes, sounds like you need a few recovery procedures.

Yup, factory reset is NOT doing anything, just froze on the splash screen. Guess will have to take it up to the shop. Hopefully this time it will be easier (last time i had very difficult time to get replacement for my HOX with wifi hardware fualt).
You have been real helpful. Thank you so much.

Plug into PC. Let drivers install..then reboot boot loader. Type fast boot devices and see if your device is recognized. I am thinking your PC isn't seeing your device.
