power + vol down = nothing - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi !
I'm a happy dhd user on custom firmware (leedroid 1.4.1) and since the update from stock 2.2 firmware (first to 2.2.1 official then downgraded, routed, s-off and installed custom ROM) i can no longer boot to recovery mode by holding power and vol down.
I still can boot to recovery from the os but id something bas happens, i won't ne able to restore ;(
Any idea why i can't go directly in recovery mode ?
Thanks
Yoann

you should hold vol down. and press power once, just keep vol down held down till it boots into bootloader

Or try turning the phone completely off, the plug the power line in, that will take it straight into the recovery.

Turn off HTC Fastboot. Your phone isn't actually off when you turn it off, so it can't enter bootloader.
Settings > Applications > Fastboot

[Q] go to ClockWorkMod with DHD buttons ? How ?

Hi,
is there a way to enter in "recovery mode" with clockworkmod without using "ROM manager" option ?
Because, when I start my phone using "low volume + power button", I always have the standard HTC recovery mode.
Thanks !
You need S-off first before installing a custom recovery such as CWM

I think it's S-OFF, ENG-off, root and everything else (I'm new to these stuff).
I just installed Revolution 6.1.1.
In fact, I wonder if there's a way, when the phone is off, to start the phone with the ClockWorkMod boot (I think it is called "recovery mode"), with a combination of buttons ?
thanks
Sorry,
1. Power off
2. Hold vol down then hold power (don't release any button yet)
3. You will boot into Hboot screen, release all buttons
4. Use vol button and power button to select recovery

Get the advanced power menu mod for ARHD 6.1.x
On the restart menu there's an option to reboot to recovery.

it's strange but, when the phone is off, if I press "volume down" + "Power" buttons, the DHD starts normally, not in recovery mode.
But, if I press the "volume down" button when restarting the DHD, then I enter in recovery mode.
The idea is : If I make a big miskake, like delete the ROM (so I can't start my DHD anymore), what's the way to go to ClockWorkMod recovery mode to restore a previoous nandroid backup for example ? (sorry, I'm new to these stuff).
Thanks

For me, its a lot easier to just keep a PD98IMG.zip file on the sdcard and flash it via hboot

My phone doesn't want to start in recovery mode when it is off in fact.
You're sure the combination is Power button + low volume, even with Android Revolution 6.1.1 ?
Turn off fastboot. In settings/power.

oh yess
I understand, when Power\Fast Boot is enabled, the DHD doesn't really turn off.
So when it turns on, it's directly on the Sense desk.
Ok !!!!
Thank you very much !

Phone switched off and i took out battery
I again tried starting phone and pressed vol down but phone doesnt go to bootloader menu
Recover installed is 4ext 2.26 rC4

Are you S-OFF?
Ehy can't you go to the bootloader? What happens?
F**k, I posted in Desire General and searching the thread in Desire S general
Can't go to bootloader ? How about turn it off, and turn on while holding the back button ?
Get into fastboot menu (back+power) and click bootloader.

HTC one x bricked need help...

I just flashed a arhd rom a kernel and InfinitySound mod and then my phone was stuck in the htc quietly brilliant screen...
The main thing is i can't even enter the bootloader with "vol+power down" help please...
Keep pressing the power button for more then 5 second and you will see the 3 buttons blinking. After that phone will restart and then press volume down to enter in hboot.
Then look on xda a tool with witch you will flash a stock kernel.
Perhaps this is the solution for you

i tried it, but no luck... it still boots into the htc quietly brilliant screen.
Hold the power button to force a reboot. As soon as your HOX powers off press and hold vol down, keep holding until you enter hboot. It might take a few attempts
First boot can take awial I don't think your stuck its just loading
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
It's stuck not loading because I have waited 10 hours already. Also, I keep trying to get it into boot loader , but to no avail... tried 30 times already...
Without getting into the bootloader, there's nothing I can do...

Does your phone keeps rebooting?
If so, it sounds like you haven't flashed the correct boot.IMG
You need to flash the correct boot.IMG that is for the kernel you flashed.
-----
As for boot loader, why don't you just use the adb command?
adb reboot bootloader
As for the button combination not working, you need to hold both power & volume down at the 'exact same time', and don't release them until your boot loader screen shows - even if it does an extra reboot, keep them held!

I am having the same problem, and i forgot to backup my previous rom. I rooted, and unlocked my phone, then i tried to install the rom, it installed. however now it just stays in the spinning loading sign for CM10. Is there anyway of putting another rom on the >fake, ie internal> sd card, which cant get removed from the acctual phone? so then i can install that rom? i have tried reinstalling the rom but that didnt work

If you have cwm 5.8.4.0 you can mount the sd card as usb drive.
Don't forget to flash the boot.img that goes with the ROM.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You are probably forgetting to flash boot.img using fastboot from your pc, from your description. After flashing boot.img, issue a
Fastboot erase cache
Or you will most likely get bootloops.

Going in the hboot for the first time may be tough. Press and hold the keys again for the time till it goes on the boot loader mode.
Or if you have your fast boot files the adb reboot bootloader is safe and easy.

you need to keep holding it down until it enters it
Keep on holding the power and volume down buttons(while screen is on home not on lock screen or while in the charger ) .....then you will see that the buttons will start flashing ..but don't release your fingers ....then the screen will become black ...so remove your finger off the power button but keep your other one on the power down button ....then it will enter hboot..you can take your finger off

Only HTC logo shines

I get a HTC One m8 for free but when I turned on the mobile as the HTC logo is lit with red warning (This build id for ...) and nothing happens, then it can not turn off. Mobile should be unlocked with a custom recovery but did not make it further .. any ideas?

Try entering bootloader mode (hold Power + Volume Down). Go to FBOOT and then try entering recovery. If you can enter recovery, and it's TWRP or CWM, then you might be able to flash a custom ROM from external SD.
The previous owner may have tried to do a factory reset, but ended up wiping the system as well.
If that fails, you may be able to flash the proper RUU for your device.

Mobile can not be shut down or get into bootloader mode.

I just have to wait until discharged and then try bootloader mode

That doesn't make sense. You should be able to enter bootloader mode even if there's no OS installed.
Keep us updated.
Buttons can also hold two minutes but nothing happens, I have to wait until it is discharged to turn off because now it can not be turn off

Hold power and vol up, for 30 seconds or more. This will force a reboot. The moment the screen goes dark (signalling its shutdown, and about to reboot) let go of those buttons, then only hold vol down. Don't let go until you see bootloader.
This method works reliably, and failure usually means you either didn't start pressing vol down soon enough, or let go too early. So just repeat the process, until it works.
Nothing worked .. If the mobile on, button did not work .. Only when completely discharged so I could turn it into bootloader and custom recovery and install custom rom, so that already works well.
