Are you talking about fastboot or recovery? When you want to get into recovery, you need to push and hold vol down + power. That'll take you to Hboot, wait for hboot to try to load a file it doesnt find ( about 5-10 seconds), then press vol down to highlight recovery and accept with power-button.
Does that work for you?
If not, I'd reflash recovery via unrevoked or rommanager.

it will not get into recovery no matter what. i tried rommanager still nothing and unrevoked not working too

fixed using flasher utility

Desire Z stuck in boot loop

Sorry to bother yet again but im flipping **** right now, I installed an overclock kernel from ROM Manager, rebooted and now it shows HTC, Vibrates, turns off and keeps looping.
I'm pretty worred right now, I've got clockworkmod installed (
Can somebody please tell me how to get into clockwork recovery before I have a panic attack.
Turn off phone, hold down power+volume down+up+camera button then scroll with your volume keys to recovery. Then restore a backup if possible.

Shows a black screen with the orange led flashing in the speaker.
Pull the battery, put it back in press volume down +power, it will boot into Hboot, then use volume to scroll down and select recovery, then restore a backup or flash another rom. The post two up from mine is telling you press all the buttons at once and is wrong.
What you are seeing is what happens when you press volume up+power.

Man! You are a life saver!

Read what joemm said and then do it (volume down+power)

sorry to open this back up but i have searched and done pretty much everything, I am bootlooping on the white HTC screen.
I can boot into Recovery but when I select Bootloader, it gives me a Red triangle with the phone. I have searched and tried flashing via fastboot to no avail. I can get ADB to recognize the phone... totally stuck.. Is there a way to flash clockwork from an SD or maybe flash the PC10IMG to return to stock? This is my freaking work phone and I really dont want to have a conversation with my boss as to why my phone is shot...
Any ideas?

well if you can boot into recovery put a .zip rom of any g2 rom into a folder in your sd card then select intall zip from sd card and find it and it should fix your problem

[Q] Recovery menu not working correctly

Hi guys, slight issue here when trying to custom boot.
I've installed Visionary and rooted the phone, done Radio S-OFF and Eng S-OFF as per the file here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942531 but i cant get the recovery menu to work.
it boots fine from clockworkmod, then goes into recovery mode but volume up + power does noting, it needs a battery pull to restart. the phone itself is fine and working.
any ideas?
nevermind , flash recovery did not work correctly.
sorted now
Did you get to recovery by holding vol up + power?
no, clockworkmod had not flashed correctly so only had a half arsed recovery method
sorted now though

[Q] Touchscreen stop working!how to unroot???

Hello,i need some help.
My touchscreen(and the four touch buttons: home meny back and search) stop working will i was using the phone!
Only the volume buttons work ( up and down) and the power button.
so i rebooted the phone but i cant even put the pin or unlock it...
the phone is rooted and ai using revolution hd rom.
so i started with volume down and power button(to bootloader),where i can go up and and dow to the first menu
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
but when i go to RECOVERY ,the menu is touchscreen ,so unusuable for me....
i want to make the phone unroot and put the original rom to sent it back to service.
HOW can i restore it??is there a way to do it?maybe using the pc?
Yes , you can flash via fastboot , it is possible, but I don't know exactly how .
Probably you have 4ext touch. I remember reading how you can flash ROMs through adb but it might not be the most straight forward thing, so my guess is that initially you can move back to Clockwork mod and flash your ROM from there..
Have a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852905

[Q] Keeps booting into ROM

Can someone help please?
I was using the Venom ROM but decided I could not live with the battery life, so flashed the Revolution ROM. I must have installed something it does not like, so it is now saying Android.process.acore has stopped, and requires force close. I can sometimes get into Clockwork recovery but on selecting to flash a zip by pressing the power button the DHD boots up the ROM.
Is there a way to bypass having to use the power button?
Thanks
Alex
Whether the cwm recovery is touch based? If not try flashing cwm touch recovery or 4ext recovery or twrp recovery. With these recoveries you can select menu by touch no need of power button to select menu.
Thanks doesn't hurt....

Did You do a Clean install? If You didn't do a full wipe do that And then reflash The ROM, if You did, just boot into recovery And choose fixmpermissions from there To see what happens.
Yes use a touch recovery as suggested above
I don't seem to be able to do anything in recovery because of the power button starting the ROM.
Trying to get into the bootloader using adb on the PC doesn't seem to work either, as I'm not getting into fastboot, being unable to select it. I get device not found error in all the screens I can get to on the DHD.
Edit.
I've now, I think, got into fastboot by taking out the SD card and Sim card. I think the DHD knows it's in fastboot USB as this changes to fastboot as I put the USB cable in. However, I get no response to fastboot devices, and still device not found to USB reboot bootloader.
I'll keep trying, but not sure what else I can do.
Nightmare, but eventually managed to get into recovery and flash a new ROM by putting SD card in at the last minute.
After several attempts when the on/off button loaded the old ROM, got the recovery to work correctly, and the new ROM is flashed. adb now works as well.

Well that's one of the perks of flashing a 3.xx.xxx.x ROM on 1.xx.xxx.x(4.4.2) firmware. You get to have extremely long boot up times and you won't have a proper working radio which leaves you with no wifi, data, gps, bluetooth...
Your OTA probably didn't work because of a custom recovery, not because it was rooted. Root does NOT prevent OTA updates from installing, though you might lose root access after the OTA.
If you're stuck at Boot screen hold Volume UP + Power button for 10seconds, as soon as the screen goes black press volume Down + Power button to enter into Bootloader.
Flash a custom recovery like TWRP. Go into recovery and restore a nandroid backup for your device.
first thx alot for replaying
i already got TWRP installed but the screen is stock on boot screen but still manage on the back ground to load my current rom as i'm hearing the log in sound of the rom :S

By the look of things you are booted in OS but have no screen, hence why try and hold power button in and randomly tap to shut off?
I told you already to Hold Volume UP + Power button for about 10seconds and then hold volume down + power to enter bootloader.
You can of course also just plug it in and try to reboot to bootloader using adb, if you have USB debugging enabled. adb reboot bootloader
As already said just hold power and volume up for around 12 seconds then immediately press and hold power and volume down. This will always get you into the boot loader.
However if adb is working just use the command above. Reflash the original boot.img and you should be good.

Use that to get back to the stock rom for your phone. Then after installing the right one, get the OTA

Never leave your device with an empty battery. In any circumstances.
Because you might not be able to charge it. Recover the device while you have some power on your battery.
Remember, this is a unibody device. It's not so easy to pull out the battery.
