What happens if you hold down the volume button while booting your device?

will try it here....holding the volume down? pls reply asap....thanx for helping

its not really reacting with any button once it get stucked to HTC logo

yea, to boot into the bootloader.

If you hold down the "volume button down" while booting your device it must show the colored screen within a second. Just hold down the "volume down" while pressing the reset button on the back. Keep holding the "volume down" till you see the colored screen.

tell me how please...i will have to remove the battery and put it back in...then it will still charge.....anyway...the only way i can start there is to press the power button and it will start up....but it will get stuck in HTC logo....when do i start going to bootloader in there....pls help...

Have you not tried a hard reset yet?
If that still does not work the flash a new ROM - while connected via bootloader ( only way )

Remove the battery, place the battery, hold down the "volume down" button, start your device ( while still holding the "volume down" button ).
Try a hard reset first as mentioned above:
Hold down the "volume down" button + the round button on the front, then reset your device while still holding those two buttons.

Download a ROM and flash it while the device is still in that mode.

1. restart the phone (with the pen in the small red button at the pen hole)
2. immediately after you have restarted, hold down the volume down button.
3. now you should be in three color bootloadermode.
4. connect your usb cable (after that you will see USB at the white color part)
5. start your custom ruu to flash your new rom.
good luck
edit..
aaaa u solved it while i was writting
great.

To hard reset -
reset your device with the stylus the before anything appears on the screen hold down the Vol down key and the centre button - follow the instructions - but don't use the volume down option unless you want to format you internal memory too.

have you tried to reflash rom? another rom possibly?

trying to do hard reset again...and this time it applies....dont know why it's not reacting awhile ago....

HARD RESET RHODIUM, Touch Pro 2

FYI. Here is how to Hard Reset our new toys .
To perform a hard reset
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons until you see this message on the screen.
"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel."
2. Release the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons.
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
You'll need it ))

Just asking but isnt going threw the settings and memory clear then it will tell you to put in "1234" to confirm it the same? Thats what i did and it restored it to all factory settings or does this way do more?

yeah, you can hard reset that way... but someday you'll need to hard reset the hardware way.... ie: after flash cooked rom, when the "touch here bla...bla..." message appear, you'll want to hard reset straight away... much faster than setup, and then hard reset later...
@doublecheese: nice info... thanks..

While I was trying new programs to my TP2 , the phone just hang, even after soft reset, it was just hanging on the opening screen so the phone never could start, so I had no chance but to Hard Reset the phone.
So you'll need it

Oh ok gotcha, thanks for the tip

do you mean press and hold the "pick up" and the "hang up" and the power button?? beacause its not clear for me?

Will a hard reset replace the core files, i.e the bluetooth ones that TomTom has corrupted? As I've tried using someone elses and no dice

Hard Reset will put the phone back to how you got it (or if you've flashed a ROM, to how it was just after you flashed a ROM).
So, Yes

in soft reset the phone will only turn off and on..
just like if u restart ur computer..
u wont loose anything.

Is there any reason why resetting wont work? I tried it several times. With the send/end/power combo and also with vol+/vol-/power combo. Neither of these combinations worked. It's non branded TP2 and only 2 weeks old.

But since HSPL is out thanks to Olinex, you can upload many new custom cookes roms which are available for the Rhodium.

Am I doing something wrong? I never get the confirmation for a hard reset. I have held the green, red and reset button at the top through a whole power cycle and no dice. I also tried just the green and red buttons, what is going on?

I think a Verizon TP2 has a different key combination.
Try this:
- Power off the phone using the 'end' key.
- Hold 'volume down' and 'send', the press 'end' till you see blue text. Follow hard reset prompts.

Thanks, I will keep that in mind for next time fore I have already used the clear programs avenue.

Awesome! Thanks for the info.

Sorry but i don't understand
The phone is new, buyed in italy from fastweb, without modify.

If it doesn't power on at all, and you have done nothing to it, then the device is faulty. Go get it exchanged.

Have you charged your phone?
If you have and its still stuck, try taking out the battery for a few minutes, put it back in and power on.
If still stuck, then quickly exchange it.

The phone power on normally. The screen power on but just i see only fastweb logo.
There is a recovery procedure, per avviarlo in modalità di emergenza as HTC Diamond?

Shouldn't you be able to recover it from the boot menu even without using root?

Ehmm

I'm not capable, you can give a guide to follow?

Boot menu is when you hold down the volume down button and press the power button (while the volume down button is still pressed)
Seriously, you might save yourself some headache if you get it replaced if it is still under warranty/contract.

OK!

OK after boot menu, What I do?

Is there an option to factory reset the phone?
As far as I can understand, you haven't used the phone yet, so you shouldn't be partial to any data on the phone - just wipe.
If that doesn't work... Well, try wiping first.

Not sure what you mean by safe mode. ???

There's a safe mode, much like in Windows. Push and hold both volume buttons while booting, I think.

Appareantly there is a safe mode, you are right. But it is everywhere described differently.(for the same device)
I tried your key combination: Volume Buttons while booting up -> normal boot up
I have read it works on some with the menu-button. You have to press it as soon as it starts to light up.

safe mode, just like in Gio, when I press vol up + power, it will get into safe mode
vol down + menu + power : download mode
menu + power : recovery
after reading that link, I think there's no safe mode for this SGW..

Works for me in CM9. Turn on the phone, and when Samsung logo appears press and hold both volume buttons until it's fully booted.

I confirm. On cm9 after the boot animation a watermark on the left bottom corner saying "Safe mode"
I'm in it now and there isn't such a great change between this and normal mode

Actually, seems like holding just the volume down button is enough.

Safe mode happenes when it has a unexpected shutdown. But it only happens if something in the system failed as well. The only thing safe mode does (on all devices) is show the words safe mode in the bottem of the screen. Nothing very much

But nothing much. Unlike windows you cant just go into the cmd promt and find the problem so you can fix it. If windows fails and asks for safe mode it can be fixed unless a major failer happened. Our phone pretty much fixes itself. (unless you brick it)

Just restart your phone. You mistakenly enter the Safe Mode. You could Google what does it mean and how you can invoke it.

How to factory reset using hardware buttons if not able to boot up?

Hi, I'd appreciate someone can help me. :fingers-crossed:
I have an AT&T Sony Xperia Ion that is not able to boot-up for some reason. It's been stuck in the Sony boot-up animation ever since I powered it down yesterday. The phone is rooted and the bootloader is locked. It has a Generic Jelly Bean 4.1.2 ROM.
Can anyone help me perform a factory reset using the hardware buttons, through a fastboot setting, or if not possible, then how do I get the phone to delete all its data and start fresh?
I really would appreciate your help! Thank you!

it'll be corrupted data somewhere if its done it for no reason. so you'll have to flash the firmware again with flashtool wiping data and cache etc in the top right tick boxes

Hi Ben, do you know how will my phone be recognized by the computer if it's in a boot-loop? Is there a specific pattern I have to follow in order to have it set up for flashtool?
Thank you!

Ahem...first hit. And in a most unexpected place
Once it's powered off, you can flash a clean ftf using Flashtool. Flashtool will tell you to hold down the "back" button as you plug in the USB cable. Since the Ion's "back" button is a capacitive button, that won't achieve anything. On the Ion you need to hold down the "volume down" key instead.

Hey, thanks for the info, but I didn't really ask how to power it off. I've already done that. I wanted to do a factory reset and couldn't find any button combination to do so.
Thanks for the flashtool information. I will try it tonight and let you know how it goes.

you can just use flashtool to wipe data i guess. but there's no button combination that I've heard to do so

That is a method proven to not work on countless occasions. All that combo does is restart the phone; by no means does it reset anything. After the phone vibrates three times, the phone will either stay off or boot normally.

Power + Volume up (1 vibration) = Restart
Power + Volume up, held for some time(3 vibrations)=Shutdown
@bbonline - So after doing the latter, you can easily connect your phone in flash mode (green led)

Yes, and that's how you perform a factory reset on the Sony Xperia Ion if you've forgotten the pattern lock screen. You need to install something called "Flashtool". This program has the option to wipe data and cache when you flash the firmware. I used this method last night to successfully perform a factory data reset on the Xperia Ion.
