If your phone is not rooted (you dont have root access) then you just need to load either DREAIMG.nbh or an official t-mobile update.zip onto the sd card (not in a folder) turn on the phone while holding the camera button (this will get to to the rainbow screen when your phone is working) and it should have instructions (push power button to apply update) if it doesn try just pushing the power button and it should start updating. if that doesnt work, take it to a specialist

I have safe mode on my phone and i cant turn it off cant use apps i want how do i turn it off? i have a mytouch 4g i factory reseted and rebooted it doesnt work help

Please check your menu key and see if it is stuck. For your phone to boot into safe mode, the menu key needs to be held at power on, so if after turning it off and doing a factory reset you are still in safe mode, then your menu key stuck. I have heard of the g1 having issues with the menu key getting stuck and a replacement is needed. How old is your phone? Are you still under warranty with tmobile? Let me know if you have any other questions.

Button stuck?

or course, powercycle....if that doesnt work, a master reset will be needed.....because it sounds like there might be somehitng stuck on the screen in the corner for make it scroll around, clean the screen with a qtip and rubbing alchohol.....if that doesnt work, try a software reset. with the phone off, you will have to press and hold the button withthe lines on them and press the power button.....release the powerbutton.....the phoen should turn on and go to a black screen with white writing....release the soft keys here and press the green call button...it will reset the phone, but in turn, you will loose your info that is not stored on the sim or media card...

this is hard to do, so if you can navigate through the phone go to start, setttings, system, clear storage. it does the same thing. good luck :)
