Hi there,
my MT4G that i just got off ebay worked great for 2 days....on the third morning i found it shut off(was left plugged into the PC overnight to charge)....turned it on...stuck on my touch home screen....nothing ...nothing...i pulled the battery and all it does is comes on(vibrates once) but gets stuck at the home screen.....then shuts off....then back on and so on...sometimes it just sits on that screen until i pull the battery out.

Recovery doesn't work, factory reset doesn't work, after lots of hours of research i put PD15IMG.ZIP on the SD card and tried to load it...finds it, blue progress bar goes all the way at the top....then it says checking pd15img file....then nothing happens....goes back into the bootloader menu.....after more research i found out it's because of the "S-ON"....many hours later i can't seem to figure out how to turn it off , i installed ADB and it does not see the phone(stuck on home screen) when connected to the PC but if i start up the phone in fastboot it says "fastbootusb" and if i type "fastboot devices" in ADB it shows me a serial number which i assume it's my device.
That's as far as i got.
Please advise, i really apreciate your help.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Kinderutz
