If you decide to buy a spare, I listed mine on swappa instead of ebay, I'm sure we can work out a deal. Just trying to recoup some of what I spent since I decided sticking to what I had before.

Bought mine from eBay just to try it, its a nice phone, but I think I'm gonna be reselling it to stick with my iPhone

That sucks, this laptop has gotten me out of jams with many phones, I hope it won't do this if I need to work on any other phones. For now I'll try fastboot on my Macbook's Windows partition. Other than that, my only other option would be to try it on a Linux partition...I'll keep you all posted. Thank you to all for offering suggestions and helping me figure this out

no...I just added that to my previous post after I saw you asked.

My screen looks exactly like yours, when I type fastboot devices, it returns with the serial number listed in the fastboot menu .... C:\platform-tools_r29.0.5-windows\platform-tools>fastboot reboot Rebooting FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error)) fastboot: error: Command failed C:\platform-tools_r29.0.5-windows\platform-tools>

fastboot oem device-info FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error)) fastboot: error: Command failed C:\platform-tools_r29.0.5-windows\platform-tools> I've tried two different USB and two different ports...This is kind of stumping me. Maybe I could try a fresh sdk installation?

So I enabled developer options, enabled USB debugging and enabled OEM unlocking. I opened my command prompt as administrator, entered the following: - adb devices (device showed up) - adb reboot bootloader (phone went into bootloader) - fastboot oem off-mode-charge 1 and it returned the following: C:\platform-tools_r29.0.5-windows\platform-tools>fastboot oem off-mode-charge 1 FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error)) fastboot: error: Command failed C:\platform-tools_r29.0.5-windows\platform-tools>

When I get home, I'll try it again and post the output I get from command prompt and tell you guys exactly what I did. I just want it enabled after reading some stories about how some owners cannot charge their phone after it dies. I don't want to risk that happening to me

my bootloader is locked, so maybe that could be why. But i can get to the bootloader by doing voldown+power or with adb reboot bootloader

I get an error when I run the command while I'm booted into the bootloader. Do I need to run the command while the device and powered on? Do I need root or have the bootloader unlocked?
