I read very good thread about rooting my phone, and I am stucked on a first step.
Cant enter hboot menu with volume down + power. how is that possible?
My phone is s-off.
probably you have not disabled the "fast boot" option.
To do so you need to go into the settings, select " battery" and then uncheck the option " fast boot"..switch off, and try again..should work..
I was like you : enable to enter in boot menu.
That was because I was doing the wrong manipulation.
To enter to this boot menu, power off your phone, remove a few seconds you battery, plug it again.
Then, press Vol-. Hold it. Press power button during 1 second, always press Vol-. And release Vol- when boot menu appears.
If it doesn't work, remove your battery and try a new attempt.
You'll probably need to practice a little.

I found this on another forum:
### START
Please follow the steps below to be able to solve the problem
Soft Reset :
Remove the battery, then re-insert it.
Note: Soft resetting your phone deletes all unsaved data.
safe mode:
Press power key then press and hold the menu key
1. Press " power key " for power on device
2. Wait until "HTC logo" appears on screen
3. Press and hold " Volume down key " until entering OS
4. " Safe Mode " text will appears on the lower left of screen.
1.If the display is off, press the POWER button to turn it back on.
2.Unlock your phone if the Lock screen is displayed. See “Unlocking the screen” in the Getting started chapter.
3.Press and hold the POWER button, and then tap Restart.
4.When asked to confirm, tap Restart.
If you can’t restart the phone following the above steps, remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, reinsert the battery, and then turn the phone on.
### END
Using the above procedure the DHD does NOT go into safe-mode. have you tested this ?
thats becuase we dont have a menu button.
Yes we have. Take a look at the button that says "Menu" on your device.
That is not actually a button its touch sensitive and that doesn't work when your booting

Safe-mode for DHD.
Has anyone tested the above method ?

how do you get off the safe mode????
this method is tried and tested. To get out of safe mode all you need to do is turn the phone off then back on in the normal way
I installed MildWild Sense on my Desire. After that, I lost the volume down + power button combo to get into boot menu. When I press this combo, it jsut boots normally into the system. Now I'm stuck with this ROM.
How to get into the boot menu again? Please help me!
edit: fixed by getting out the battery then put it back, and used the "back & power" combo to access boot menu.
Next time go to settings/power and uncheck fastboot. And like u found out, just pull the battery for few seconds, vol - and power will work.
I tried entering fastboot mode by
- Powering off my phone
- then pressed down volume + power key.
It boots up normally.
What can I do?
(Developer options on, QuickBoot On)
Please Help
You need to turn off Fast boot:
Under settings > power > scroll to the bottom: Fast boot - start up and shut down quickly - uncheck
Finally
I've made it by
1. Turn off device, pls make sure you have to turn your device off
2. Hit Power + Volume Down
That's 100 % Worked !!!

Have you enabled developer options and USB debugging yet? I don't know why they removed the option between Kitkat and Lollipop, but I haven't had to turn off fastboot with Lollipop.
Iam have the same proplem
same here
same here....
F..K the HTC
Have you tried holding Volume Down for a bit and then pressing Power, while still holding Volume down?
The first few times my device was only able to enter HBoot if I did it that way..
When I press the power button and volume down button it gets rebooted normally...but when I press power button and volume up button it enters fast boot mode then it remains same
fastboot option is missing in my htc d816

I'm using HTC desire 816 dual sim running on android 4.4.2. I can't find the fastboot option in my power settings. I searched for it in whole of the settings but I'm unable to find the fastboot option. similarly, there is no OEM unlock option in my developer's options. besides these things my phone won't connect to htc sync manager even though I installed htc_sync.apk in my device. What can I do? I'm from India and I bought this device in singapore.
Please do some favor.
I tried flashing ViperOneM8 1.8.0 (ViperOneM8 1.7.1 -> 1.8.0) which I guess was the wrong thing (I think that was an update, should have started with 1.7.1 first). Anyway... Now my M8 boots to some type of android base OS without a lot of things...
1) It's not possible to get to settings as there is no settings app in the app drawer.
2) There is no title bar/task bar at the top. The area that holds the time, and a few icons at the top is gone.
3) There is no background.
4) There is no way to get on the WiFi do to #1 and because of this I can not add my google account. That in turn means no google play store access.
But the BIGGEST thing of all... I CAN NOT BOOT TO FASTBOOT!!!
- Power the device off.
- Hold the volume down button (also tried the volume up button) + press power usually boots strait to fastboot mode.
I THINK it has something to do with the fact that by default in the settings I need to untick the fastboot option in the dev options.. Well I can't get to settings. Now what?

Shut down phone.
Turn it on
Hold volume up+power button until it restarts
As soon as you get the black screen for restart release power button and hold volume down.
If your timing is right you will enter bootloader.
I tried it and it definitely works
Flash your nandroid or any rom you know was ok to begin with and you are up and running!!!

Tried that...
1) Powered off device.
2) Held power button for about 2 seconds until it came on then let go.
3) IMMEDIATELY I pressed and held down the power and volume up buttons.
4) The phone continues to boot up a little bit longer and gets to the verizon check (verizon splash screen) then shortly after goes black (as expected).
5) IMMEDIATELY let go of power button continuing to hold volume up button.
... .. .. .
6) I get the white screen that says HTC (powered by android)... NOT a bootloader screen as expected.
Update... When I try to click on the app drawer then top right click the little three dots, I try and "Manage Apps" ... ERROR "App isn't installed"...
:/

If you connect the phone to the computer, can you get fastboot or adb to recognize the phone?
If so, you can try adb reboot bootloader command or fastboot reboot bootloader comand

After 4 you release power button and press volume DOWN.
This will get you to the bootloader

Yea, I ended up doing the following...
1) While device is powered on, Press and hold Volume Up + Power until device reboots.
2) When it starts to reboot continue holding the Power button and change to the Volume Down.
That worked for me.
I have tried to enter the fastboot mode in several ways.....
1. pressing Vol Down+Power button, but no luck whatsoever.
2. pressing the power button for 10 seconds
3. downloaded "quick boot" from play store. But it says u don't have the root access and the program stopped.
4. there is no "power option" in the settings menu.
I cant update this phone because of this problem. Also I cant use 3g in this phone as i cant select "WCDMA/WCDMA/GSM Auto".....Whatever i choose, it remains "GSM only"......
Please Help.......
