Desire HD can't get into bootloader

Greetings,
I am wondering if anyone has experienced an issue where it's impossible to get the phone to go into bootloader with the Volume - and Power Buttons. My DHD just boots up. I'm on Desire Revolution ROM 2.0.1 with S-Off. The only way I can get into bootloader is with adb.
Am I using the wrong button combinations? I've only had the phone for a few days and I assumed the way to get into bootloader would be the same as my Nexus One.
Maybe someone could point me in the right direction if I'm doing something obviously stupid

That is the correct button combination. Are you pressing them at the same time or do you hold Volume Down then press power?

restart the phone
when the capacitive buttons light is off immediately press and hold volume - button and keep holding until device is in bootloader
cheers

Also remember that your DHD doesn't actually turn off when you turn it off. You need to disable HTC FastBoot, Settings > Applications > Untick "FastBoot".

Andy,
That fixed the problem. Thank you very much.

Thanks! that did the trick for me 2!!

Try removing the battery for a minute. Then volume down + power button.
Was it rooted? Go into the rom first and uncheck fastboot. Settings, power.

If it's not where I mentioned it would be, then see if you can find it somewhere else. Just uncheck fastboot.

In what state is your phone at the moment?

If you had adb enabled install.android-sdk and propper drivers then turn on phone and connect it to pc/laptop and try to reboot it in bootloader through adb .
This only works if:
1. Your phone has adb debugging ennabled
2. Your pc can see the device attached (command: adb devices)
Hope this helps

Fastboot option on the Desire HD?

Hi, I lost my Desire S at the weekend and so I've bought a Desire HD off ebay.
Now on the Desire S I always used to turn off the fastboot option when I was running a custom ROM as there was a danger of damaging the EMMC/bricking the phone.
I noticed on my new Desire HD which is running CyanogenMOD 7 that there is no option to fastboot on the menu's.
I'm just checking before I pull the battery as I don't want to brick a brand new phone. So I take it they have sorted out the EMMC problems with the later versions of the Desire HD?
Am I OK to remove the battery when I feel like it?

Fastboot only works in sense roms....ur phone came preloaded with cm7 which means the fastboot will be off as it doesnt work in any roms other than sense
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium

The fastboot option as referred to in sense ROMs refer to a sort of hibernation feature by HTC to achieve a quicker boot time.
However the true fastboot is protocol used to update the flash filesystem in Android devices from a host over USB. It allows flashing of unsigned partition images (http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fastboot). It can be accessed by holding the vol down button and pressing the power button which takes you to the bootloader. You can then choose the fastboot option.
As long as your not using the fastboot option or installing a ROM etc it should be fine to remove your battery at any time.

HELP PLZ

my desire hd cant boot stuck on htc logo and then screen is off. when i push in recovery mode its again screen off. it caused by aahk hack again after rooting.

If you can see recovery, then I'm guessing you can get to hboot. Put your stock p98img file on the root of your sd card as update.zip.

relisys667, the HACK KIT didn´t do that....if you messed your phone it is your fault not the Hack Kit.
Maybe, you didn´t read the troubleshooting section or didn´t follow instructions....read the manual and you will find the solution...for your description and lack of information I can just realise that you are not S-OFF or the CWM was not installed....
And you don´t have to open 2 threads on the same...with just one is enough.....

This doesn't make sense. I'm assuming you're saying that you still can't fix your phone. Can you see hboot? if you can see hboot, then go to fastboot and let it flash away.
It sounds like you're trying to go to your recovery partition which you successfully sent to never never land. hboot > fastboot > load stock p98img. Flash it, and start over.....

thnx sir when i go on fast boot screen become dim in lining and off same in recovery mode

Check if it's S-ON or S-OFF by rebooting while holding power and volume-down. What does it say?

Is it rooted? If so, AAHK or HTCDEV? Is it S-OFF? Is there a custom ROM on it? Have you updated your HTC drivers using AAHK specifically? What did you do to get it in that state?

So, what is the problem? flash a recovery if you don't have it and reflash a rom. Don't use the Hack Kit is not for you if you are already S-OFF.

[Q] HTC Desire brick

Hi guys,
I've rewrited my htc's rom and after restarting my phone iam seeing only HTC logo so I think that my phone has no ROM now (flashing took too short, i know my bad, needed to flash it again...). There will be no problem, but my + and - buttons doesn't work, so i can't open my recovery menu. Any ideas? Thanks )
P.S,Sorry for bad english

It is not bricked if you can at least turn something on.
I think Back + Power will get you to fastboot menu at least
Try Bortak's troublehooting guide, it's stickied to the top of Q&A.
You'll probably need to flash 2.3.3 RUU.

To flash RUU you need to fully turn on the phone. And about fastboot... I can boot into it, but i cant navigate there, because my + and - doesn't work :/

You can flash the RUU in fastboot mode. You dont need it to boot into android.
Like eddiehk6 said, since your volume rocker buttons dont work you can use back and power to boot directly into fastboot. Then you can run the ruu from there.

So i need just open official RUU 2.3.3 and do usual ****? (when my phone is in fastboot)

Exactly.

Wait a sec, no need to flash the dangerous ruu. just plug you're phone to PC via USB and turn it on, in whichever mode it is use command line to restart it to recovery.
adb reboot recovery
With ruu you can brick it for real

Then what does he do?
Ur assuming he is s-off or rooted with custom recovery. If hes never rooted and is stock s-on then the only option is what has been suggested above.
