My friends inspire will only boot into the bootloader. When I turn the phone it goes straight to the bootloader. The phone does recognize when you plug in a usb cable, but it won't let me scroll through the options. The phone is not rooted nor did he try to root it. It boots into that screen and won't allow you to do anything. Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like the volume button is stuck.

Did you say it is not rooted and it's booting into bootloader? How long have they had it? You sure it's not rooted? If it's not rooted call for a Warrenty exchange.

This is definitely the answer, something might possibly be in between the rocker also, like a small rock that would cause the constant connection for the "down" action that wont allow you do do anything.
It's definitely not rooted. Security is still on and he had no idea what I meant when I asked if he rooted it. The volume rocker being stuck makes sense somewhat. We got the volume rocker to work one time and did a factory reset. After that the volume rocker quit working again. Att said they wouldn't exchange it because their first thoughts were it was tampered with and that he tried to root it. I'm a cell phone repairman. Maybe il just open it up and see if there's something blocking the volume rocker.

I thought I saw this somewhere... But what I read about it was it was similar to doing a factory reset, doesn't actually reflash anything. I hope I'm wrong.

Vol- & power will do a hard reset when you still have stock recovery.
So has anyone been daring enough to try this? Lol

Yups, my first G2x was experiencing major reboots so I did a factory reset via vol down + power. didn't help lol. Didn't want to wait for an OTA update to fix the issue so I opt to exchange it and my current one now works like it should

the thread says vol. down, HOME and power. is that what you did?
I believe it pops up the stock recovery menu and goes into verbose mode while the phone is doing a factory reset. The stock recovery menu is useless since you can't actually select anything.

volume down and power will hard reset if you font flash nvflash.

Didn't read thoroughly, my bad. its without the HOME key. I don't think the capacitive keys work when the phone is off lol.
If planning to do so, backup prior! Otherwise it shouldnt be necessary...don't do what you don't know your doing just cuz everyone else is doing it lol

Vol. Down and Power gives me a screen that says "S/W Upgrade Please wait while upgrading..." And it never does anything. I had gotten a boot loop (hadn't even considered rooting yet) so I pulled the battery and booted up, I guess my finger had been on volume down. Still does that, and it never changes. Just stays like that. If I pull the battery, I get a boot loop again. What the hell D: Should I call up customer care?
It will force the phone to shut down. I did it couple times when my lock screen froze.
Simply holding power will force the phone to shut down.
Power and volume down format on stock or recovery if nvflashed
I don't think home is necessary or used at all.

No. Mines fine.
You're pushing it too hard.
Seriously, though, there's been a couple people that I've seen who report similar issues with either the power button or the volume rocker.
The part below the button that gives it spring/tension has probably shifted somewhat, causing it to "sink."
Aside from opening it/exchanging the phone, there's not much you can do.

It just seems that the button is flush with the housing. Im just worried that the it won't work in the future and I won't be able to bring the phone out of the locked screen

Unlikely. You'll probably still be able to push it, though it may get harder to do over time.
I doubt that the actual button that's soldered onto the PCB is out, its just that the visible button that the user pushes, that actually pushes on the little button that's soldered onto the PCB, is out of alignment/lost tension.
If it concerns you then you should get take it back for a replacement. Or open the phone and inspect it yourself, but that will void your warranty, so...
Are there any ROMs that allow the volume rocker to wake the phone up?
My friend has a Thunderbolt and I saw that the ROM he uses allows for this.

CyanogenMod 7.1 or one of the recent nightly builds.
Edit: Or any ROMs based on a recent CM7 build (such as Ninja-07061).
You can download an app called no lock. But ur phone has to be rooted

I use Widgetlocker which can be set to wake with any hardware button. It costs a few bucks but allows you to use any non sense widget on your lockscreen.

Incorrect. No lock does not require the phone to be rooted.
The Up volume button on my Inspire has quit working. I can go into the software and change the volume there, but I can't find a software way to change the in call volume. Particularly the in call volume for Google voice. Any idea how I can adjust this?
I am using the latest stock upgrade.
I was actually having the same issue with my phone's Up volume button so any kind of help would be greatly appreciated

Phone will not boot into clockwork as a result of the volume control sticking.

One of quick reboot apps gives options to do hotboot or go into clockwork by bringing up the options when u power off. Ur regular "restart" screen will have extra options. Unfortunately i forget which one it is. I'll try to find out

I am having few things i noticed with my phone don't know if anyone else is having it-
Back button doesn't work in any setting or app. For example if I go to phone settings disable Bluetooth back key is not lit, have to click on home and start over.
GPS takes forever to lock .
Phone doesn't have a led for missed calls, is there a app which can do bln.
phone is running stock rom (2.3.7) and its not rooted

Check out noled. It works pretty well.

The back button should work. I'd say there is something wrong there. For the other things like bln you'll need to install a kernel which supports it. That requires that you root your phone.
No back button doesn't work its not lit.

You're 12 years old aren't you? Lol jk
Yes I realize that. I'm not saying I don't belive you I'm just stating that it should work and if it doesn't then there is something wrong with ether the hardware or software on your phone. Best bet would be to root it and flash a ROM from scratch.
Ok so normally if a phone were to freeze up or something happend you just pull the battery and then put it back in and start it up... is there a button combination or something that no matter what will alwaya restart the phone?

Wrong
In official user manual on page 180 is that the when not responding press power button for 10 seconds then release to restart the phone

Your method works because you are holding the power button. The volume keys have nothing to do with it you don't have to press them.
