I flashed my standard Desire and one of the first instructions was to enter Hboot by holding down "volume down and the power button". I would then attach the phone to my PC and install the custom drivers.
However, I am now attempting to do the same on my brothers HTC Desire HD, but nothing seems to happen when holding down volume down and power. It just boots normally. We are attempting to install the Unrevoked stuff. His DHD is a 3 Mobile one (and shows a 3 mobile splash screen at the start).
Any idea how one gets into hboot on an HTC Desire HD?
Try selecting reboot and hold vol down. Phone will vibrate like mad but should get you to fastboot.

If that doesnt work remove and insert battery, push once on powerbutton immediately after hold power and vol down.

You need to disable HTC Fast Boot.
Settings > Applications > Untick "Fast Boot".

Since when does Unrevoked support DHD?

Problem when i tryed "one click to root" (black screen with HTC Desire and "/!\")
Hello,
I tryed to root my phone using "unrevoked".
I installed HTC Sync to have the drivers, and then, i removed it.
Unrevoked asked me to connect my phone to the PC. I did it. It printed a "warning window" (as often), and i pressed ok.
It rebooted my phone on fastboot mode, and the window on my PC says "Waiting for bootloader mode".
This was not written on the tuto that i was looking for, and then, i tryed to reboot on recovery, to reboot the phone normally.
Now, it dosen't want to boot, and print a black screen with a HTC Desire and "/!\" this red sign.
Any help please ? :/

Thanks for the link but there is no the same situation as mine. :/
It says that we have to boot in hboot mode, but i tryed to boot on recovery after this step to reboot my phone "normally". And now i have this black screen with a picture of HTC Desire and "/!\", and i don't know what to do now. :/
What happens if you hold volume down and press power button you do this from Fastboot not recovery
When I press volume down and power at the same time on this "black screen with HTC Desire picture and /!\", nothing happens.
What happens if i remove the battery ? Brick ?
Press volume up and power. What happens then?

The phone has to be switched off to get into fast boot menu you won't get the menu if the phone is switched on
That screen is the one you get before you actually enter recovery by pressing vol up and power at the same time. Can you show us a picture of the screen? It's ok if you cant

If the power button doesn't do it yes
As long as you can get into fastboot menu you can root the phone with unrevoked
But do it properly!
Install drivers from here
unrEVOked modified USB driver
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
After installing driver
In Device Manager
make sure Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone. (Drivers installed on PC)
Fastboot phone ( Volume down then power button)
Select Hboot menu
Connect Phone to PC confirm phone says "HBOOT USB PLUG"
Run Unrevoked as admin phone rooted
Then if you have a backup restore that or install new rom as recovery should now be working
Ok thanks, i'll try.
I'll remove the battery because it don't turn off with power button.
When i'll try to boot, have I to root in now, or can i boot in "normal mode", and try to root it tomorrow ?
Thanks for your help.

hi good morning at all
i speak today for explicate my problem with my htc desire z.
I root and applicate s-off with this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision
but I have Some Problem Because when i have power on the fast-boot ( in the setting>application> fast boot) my desire z don't enter in the recovery, fastboot, bootloader mode with pressure the various button.
but when this "Mode" Fast boot is turn off my mobile phones enter in the recovery, and in the fastboot mode i read the s-off
it possible solution at my problem? thanks at all
you need to turn off fastboot, because its not properly turning off your phone if you use it
thanks
yes but this fast boot if ****ing **** thanks for the reply
That HTC "fast boot" is something that might make some users happy. It certainly "looked cool" on some demo videos where people thought it was really booting that quickly. But of course it wasn't booting at all, just un-suspending from a sleep mode.
If you want to get into the hboot "fastboot" mode or recovery, etc, then you will need to shut down properly, and turn off HTC's suspending stuff, at least temporarily.
No need for the bad language though.
You can enter fastboot by connecting your phone and running
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
And to boot into recovery
Code:
adb reboot recovery

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

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
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
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.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
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 !

I haven't done this for a while but used to do this 100s of times.
I have a stock HTC rom installed without root. It is an experimental version of 2.3 that was never released.
I'm holding down the volume down button and pressing power. When I release the power button it boots normally into standard home screen.
I tried with the back button and the same thing happens.
Has anyone ran across the same problem?
Is there anyway I can boot into HBOOT without the volume down button and no root? Any apps which might help me to do that?
Thanks
afaik you press and HOLD those two buttons until the phone goes on.
Your volume down might have become faulty.
To go to fast boot mode press and hold "back key" while power up. From there press power key once more to go into hboot mode.
Regards
Yasir

I think the volume down button works because when the phone is on i can control the call volume using this button. I also tried the back key to boot into fast boot but that doesn't work.
I hold the two buttons indefinitely. It's only when I release the power buttons that the phone starts booting but always boots into normal mode.
Any other ideas? thanks.
Lol try hold volume up + power

Awww damn!
I guess the only other thing I could try is to flash a different RUU.
Does anyone have a link to the stock Froyo RUU? Would flashing it over a stock GB rom work or wuold it complain that the HBOOT version is different?

Press n "hold" back, press (wait 2 second) and "release" power. Simple. You can't do it wrong. Try again please.

I am really not an idiot.
1) Press and hold power and 'back' at the same time
2) Waiting waiting waiting.... 5 - 10 seconds, nothing happens, black scren
3) Release power while still holding 'back'
4) Same thing happens with volume down and volume up

I want to install an ICS Rom. So I need to root.
To root I need to install the custom HBOOT drivers otherwise unrevoked doesn't pick up the device.
In order to install the custom HBOOT drivers I need to be in HBOOT with USB connected. Is there any other way?
K, does ur volume buttons work when phone is booted? If so, turn off the phone then pull the battery out for 10- 15 seconds then put back in, then press and hold volume down and press power button (while holding vol down) it should boot bootloader
Also make sure in
settings/power
That fast boot is not checked (if u got that option)

Removing the battery made the difference. It seems that I have to remove the battery every time after power down or when I powers up it skips HBOOT. Nonetheless it works!
