Hi all
Just got a brand new HTC desire ( 2.1-update1, Orange branded )
S/W 1.22.73.1
From what I read, I shoud have acces to HBOOT, holding Volume - and Pressing Power down...
( Volume - is this button on the left side of the case I assume ?)
nothing happens...The Desire starts as usual...
I'm the only one with this "feature"
Info greatly appreciated...And happy new year !!!
yes volume - is the button on left side (the button used to down the volume)
you havo to switch off the phone, wait 2 sec. then press and hold "volume-" then press power button just for 1-2 sec. keeping volume- pressed. then release all keys and the phone go to hboot screen.
Hi DarkAngel
Exactly what I did...press Vol -, then press Power, then release Vol -...and the thing boots as normal.
If, in addition, I press the trackball while I replay the above scenario, after a few seconds I'm getting a white screen with Htc logo...and a few seconds later, the Desire boots up...( initial boot where to have to enter yr PIN code...)
What am I supposed to get if the tel behaved as expected ?
Strange no ?
You don't release volume down until the HBOOT screen comes up

Arrrrgh !!!
i found what was wrong...the culprit is my SIM card !!!
Once removed,i've got the Hboot screen (tells me that I have HBOOT 8.03.0001...)
next step, save the whole system ( make an image ? ) and, once this is done, i'll jump to the Goldcard stuff...
Any way, thks very much for yr concern !!!
you have to use unrevooked to root your phone and install a custom recovery (Clock Work or amon-RA)
after this go into hboot (vol- and power) wait 2-3 sec and (using vol + vol - you can move the selection, using power button you confirm the selection) select "recovery"
the custom recovery start
to navigate use the optical pad and click it to confirm selection
go to backup&restore
then backup
after this in sd card will be created a backup of your phone (called nand backup/nandroid backup)
use "back" key to return to clockwork menù
then hit reboot
(i have to restore the backup immediatly because at the reboot my phone goes in boot loop)
Another problem...unrevoked3 does not seem to work for me..
I think I did things allright ( uninstall htcSync, install good USB drivers, have tel in debug usb mode);
unrevoked starts, I see hte Desire beiing rebootd several times but at the end, instead of Done!, i'm getting an Internal Error message : am reported error starting service;
stictly no idea where it comes from !!!
thks again for yr help...
install htc sync
remove only htc sync (not htc driver and htc bmp driver)
connect the phone activating usb debug
install driver that comes with unrevoked
the run unrevoked with "run as admin"
use unrevoked 3.22 it worked for me

Hmm am i the only one, who haven't seen this hboot version before? Mine have 0.93 something. Never seen 8.03? Are you sure that's what it said?
I'm guessing a typo and it should be 0.83
Finally i've got it !!!
i've been given a new version of unrevoked ( a modified 3.3 I think...) which worked...
i've been able to root, make a backup...and now, i'm ready to get rid off my branded Rom and get a custom one...
Thks guys for yr concern...helped me much !!!
cheers
As the title already says,
I'm stuck at an endless boot loop of the HTC logo and the volume down + POWER button doesn't get me into recovery again, like the option gone. So I'm stuck and I can't flash the boot-up FIX image since I can't access Clockworkmod recovery as I really only used this to flash images. Any help would be highly appreciated and it's rather urgent to me.
Thank you.
Turn the phone off
Click in trackpad. Hold
Click on volume down. Hold
Click on power. Hold everything until you see tge white hboot.
Press vol down to RECOVERY
Press power.
Et voila.

For some strange reason that doesn't work either. I will keep on trying your method until someone gives another solution... Well my volume button wasn't always sensitive so I needed to click hard, I will try though. Thank you as for now.

OK, another method:
1. Switch your phone off
2. Keep pressing the Back button
3. Power phone on (Power button) while keeping the Back button pressed
4. Check if "BOOTLOADER" is marked", if not select it by using Volume up/down buttons
5. Press Power button
6. via Volume up/down select "RECOVERY"
7. Press Power again
You are in Recovery and ready to flash / restore / backup etc.
EDIT: if you volume down button is out of function you can "scroll" with the vol. up button as well. If you reached the top of a list, it will jump to the bottom automatically.
Settings> applications> fastboot. Untick.
Power down. Power up+volume down.
Fastboot location might be different though. It is in applications for me.

I had a similar issue, but I wasn't stuck in a bootloop. Couldn't access recovery using vol-down at all, I could access it using ROM Manager, but it loaded the bundled version (3.0.0.5) not the installed one (2.5.1.8). Weirdly enough, selecting 'reboot recovery' in the 'temporary' recovery rebooted me into the installed one
The two posts above fixed it for me though, just unticking 'fastboot' wasn't enough - it just stopped it switching off (it would always reboot immediately!), but holding 'back' while it was rebooting got me into HBOOT.
I did discover that if I pressed and held vol-down while the htc white screen was showing it would start in 'safe-mode' - That was a shock, thought I'd caught Windows
It started right after I installed a new ROM, I don't really understand how that could affect it but I'm going to try a different one now to see if the problem goes away.
PVT1 S-OFF (Alpharev)
CWM 2.5.1.8
HBOOT 0.93
similar problem
Hi, I'm new and also noob, so sorry
I have same or similar problem...
I made update from A2.2 to A2.3.3 official ROM from HTC for HTC Desire and than I found custom ROM with Sense 3.0 - Cool Sensation v7.
I made S-Off and I have HBOOT 6.93.1002 now. Tried to instal custom ROM, everything installed good, but after rebooting system is still in boot-loop and a can not instal boot-fix because I still get error regarding some error about edify...
Some like this:
"amend script(update-script) is no longer supported
amend scripting was depreceated by google and android 1.5
it was neccacery to remove it when upgrading to clockwork mod 3.0 gingerbread based recovery.
please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
installation aborted."
Can someone help me? Thx.
So here's the deal. I tried to unroot my phone back to stock, following instructions from the youtube video
How to Un-Root the HTC Droid Incredible by droseum20
I managed to find the files elsewhere, since megaupload is down.
Went through the steps, and in the end, once i tried to turn my phone on, it vibrated once and stayed on the black screen.
I tried to turn the phone back on/go to hboot screen, with the power button + VOL Down button, but nothing. (still black screen)
So I would like to try this method, since the screen is black and I can't see anything:
Method 1:
Download: liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_F...crut4wrv30.zip and rename it to update.zip then follow instructions given by teppic74

1. Make sure the update.zip (NOT update.zip.zip!) file is on your goldcard and correctly named.
2. Take the battery out first to ensure the phone is powered off. Then hold vol down and press the power button, and hold vol down for about 5 seconds. That will get you into the bootloader even though you can't see it.
3. Press vol down once. This will select recovery.
4. Press the power button once. This will start the recovery. The phone will vibrate briefly.
5. Wait 20 seconds or so. Then press vol up and the power button and wait a few seconds. You'll now be in system recovery.
6. Press vol down once to select 'apply sdcard:update.zip'.
7. Press the power button once to start the recovery.
8. After a few seconds press the power button once again.

How can I basically reboot my Droid Incredible blindly?

Not sure where you got those instructions or files from, but there not for the incredible.
Heres what you do.
Download this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.06.605.3/PB31IMG.zip, and put it on the root of your sdcard in no folders.
Pull the battery, reinsert, and press vol down +power for 5 secs then wait for 5 mins not touching anything.
Press vol up and then wait for 20 minutes touching nothing. The phone will reboot once during the process, this is normal just let it be.
Press vol up, the phone should reboot and come up being able to see things and boot to the os normally.
I keep getting messages telling me that the original PB31IMG is an older version and I cannot get my phone to boot up. I get the white HTC splash screen and it shuts off and reboots again and again. I can get into HBOOT Menu, but cannot seem to install any ROMS.
I am clueless about all this stuff.
Any help?

What hboot and android version are you currently on?
Okay here's the run down. I'm on JB and rooted, and was about to apply the new FreeGee bootloader unlock, when I wanted, out of sheer curiosity, to check to see if I could get into the stock recovery by holding powering off and then holding Vol Down + Power. Ever since I rooted it didn't seem to work anymore, but I didn't have a need to boot into since manually applying the JB update.
Anyway, neither Vol Down+Power of Vol Up+Power worked, the phone just booted normally. So, I decided to use ADB to boot into recovery using "adb reboot recovery". It worked, and the stock recovery loaded up. I can scroll up and down using the volume keys, but for some reason cannot select any option by pressing the power button. If I hold the power button down, the phone will appear to restart, but it boots right back into the stock Android system recovery, where again, I cannot simply select any choice with the power button. ADB doesn't list the device since I'm in recovery, and I only have fastboot installed on my lapton running XP which isn't available at the moment (I'm on OSX 10.6).
I'm thinking pulling the battery may work, but I don't have my torx screw driver handy. Anyone have any ideas? Perhaps where to get fastboot for OSX (it appears to still be missing from Android SDK). Thanks.
EDIT: SOLVED - Turns out in stock recovery, the soft menu button (the one on the bottom right) is used to make the selection, not the power button like in the custom recoveries. Still not sure why the Power+Vol. Down doesn't work to boot into the stock system recovery.
Use the menu button to select now.
what dm said. they wont be lit up but they still work
Yeah, I figured that out almost immediately after posting this (feel dumb now). Thanks though.
Any idea why the key combo Vol. Down + Power no longer works to boot into stock recovery? Seems odd that it worked before when manually updating to JB.
Hello. Can you tell me another solution. I have similar problem. Stuck in recovery mode with faulty power button, and can't get out of there. It's not working with menu button. Is there a way to do it with SD memory card? Thanks.
I have TWRP installed, and have managed to run it a few times. Now I cannot start TWRP at all.
From off, if I switch on, the following happens:
1) Screen with Samsung Galaxy A70 - Secured by Knox
2) 0.5 seconds later another screen, "this phone's bootloader is unlocked and it software integrity. .." and "press power key to continue..."
3) 5 seconds later, same screen as (1)
4) 3 seconds later, red letters "this phone is not running Samsung's official software"
5) 3 seconds later blank screen with "samsung" and then booting to android.
In my experience I have to flash twrp every time I want to use it( I don't know the reason but I couldn't fix it ) , for booting twrp on the other hand I turn off the phone first, then I press power button+volume down until the "this phones bootloader..." screen appears, here is the tricky part, you have to quickly let go of these two buttons, press power button, let go of the power button (after the warning disappeared) and then press volume down button (and hold it) until twrp logo appears, this happens really fast so you may need to do it a few times to get used to it.

Yes, same here, the only time I have managed to run TWRP on this phone, is right after a flash.

Power off the device, plug into a pc, wait for it to start charge, hold vol up and power till it turns on. Wala boots to twrp. If you have magisk installed,you can use the reboot option within magisk.

Samsung changed how to enter recovery on Android 11. Power off device, plug into pc, wait for it to charge, then hold vol up and power till it turns on. Alternatively, if you have magisk installed, use the reboot options within magisk.
I did that. Thanks!
But it has gone to:
Android Recovery
Samsung /a70qxx/a70q
11/RP1A.200720.012./A705FNXXUB5DVB3
user/release-keys
Use volume up/down and power.
Reboot system now
Reboot to bootloader
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from SD card
Wipe date/factory reset
...
...
...
Where is TWRP? It seems it's gone.

That's because you're not installing it properly go back to my guide and follow it exactly and stop listening to these other people. I've been modding this device since it first came out with Android 9, I know every inch of this device. You're getting confused by what other people are telling you

It fails here, on this step. After successful flash of recovery.tar, power + vol down to reboot, cable still connected, nothing you can do now can bring TWRP up. The phone boots into Android.
EDIT: I think I have now got it. I will update in a few mins.

After successful flash of recovery.tar, power and vol down to reboot, as soon as the phone screen goes blank, immediately release all keys and press and hold vol up. Must be as soon as screen goes blank. The device will then reboot twice and land you in twrp splash screen. You must hit vol down and power after successful flash then when screen blanks, vol up. If you miss this step, twrp will not hold and revert back to stock recovery.
Here is the notes I made today:
****************************************************************
INSTALL + START TWRP
phone is off
press up + dn
insert cable
go into download (press up)
ODIN 3.14 + AP:tar(vbmeta.img+twrp.img), auto reboot off, press upload
when it succeeds, press dn + pwr until it reboots
then quickly up + pwr until it starts (no need to hold down)
this starts in TWRP
from powered off
press pwr button
goes into twrp or android(system) -- depending on what was used last time
if we used reboot->system last time it will now **Always** go into system!
to go back into twrp:
switch off
power cable until charge
pwr + up until it starts
****************************************************************
The above means that you CANNOT go back to TWRP unless you have a cable and a PC near by.
