Bootloader Screen?

You got that screen by holding the volume button down when booting I believe. It is used for flashing your phone. Unfortunately there is no available firmware to flash.

We have been waiting for the impression firmware to surface for 10 months now. Hasnt happened yet and may never.

Where in your phone were you messing Around ? Did you use the master key and start messing with internals ?

Here is info on this subject from impression forum.It is very similar to our phone and it probably applies. WARNING you are probably not going to like what you read, seems your going to need to maybe send it in. Hope this helps.

It's also very possible that hooking our phones up while in bootloader mode may give us access to some of the protected files we usually can not access/change.  I will check into this, but this is the way most flashing works on any phone, i phone, win mo, etc.

You are better off for warranty to go through ATT.  They will send you a new phone within 2 days to replace it. With samsung you have to send your phone in and do without for a couple of weeks.  The only reason you should be going to samsung for warranty issues if you are using phone unlocked with T-mobile.

Not sure if this is a similar problem, but I've had my mythic for only a month and now the loading screen only goes three quarters of the way across the screen, then stops and repeats. Even when I try and charge it, the same thing happens. It is not the battery, as I tried a different one at ATT. I have pics on the phone, not saved to memory card, that i desperately need to retrieve, as they are part of school project. Basically is there a way I can get these pics off the phone without being able to turn it on?
