Optical Trackball not working in recovery and stuck in the HTC boot logo

I don't know what to do because my device is currently not booting. The device is stuck at the HTC logo for a very long time (both when booting normaly or going in to revovery). The device finaly is finished booting in like 10 min. , but when it is finnished booting the touch on the screen doesn't work, it keeps a black background and it says no service. In revovery on the otherhand the optical trackball doesn't work anymore, the hardware button does tho because the first option "Reboot system now" does work.
What should I Do???

Have you tried using the volume up / down buttons for moving around the menus and power button for select in recovery?

The volume up/down buttons dont work in recovery

Now its just stuck in a bootloop .
And there is no way of wiping the device, because the trackball isn't working.
hep would be greatly appreciated

The first thing I would try is to remove the SD card and see if your phone boots.
If that doesn't work. Have you tried putting fake flash on your SD and booting into recovery on that to test your trackpad?
Why has it started playing up in the first place? Did you have a bad flash? A wee bit of the history of your device might help to find out what's going on.

the trackball isn't working in the fakeflash. The whole problem didn't happen after a bad flash, but it just went in a bootloop when i tried to put it on this morning. I was running Defrost 1.4

You don't need trackball in the fakeflash. You navigate there using volume up and down. It should work. Try .

How about resetting it by doing the following.
Switch it off, or remove battery > Hold volume down and power button > wait a few seconds > use volume to go to clear storage > power button to select. This doesn't involve going into recovery so your buttons might work there.

Can't you get into the bootloader mode with vol. down + power and wipe it there?
Edit: Few secs too late heh

You need the trackpad to select the option after choosing it with volume up/down.

No, it says clear...... and then it just restarts the bootloop

The fake-flash worked!!!!!!!
I deleted everthing there but now, when I boot up the device it boot up straight into fastboot

You could try now using an ruu to flash. Or try getting into recovery and see if you can use the buttons now.

I'll try a ruu, but the recovery still wont work

The Ruu doesn't boot past the quietly brilliant signiture.

Now the official RUU is doing a bootloop...

Not the greatest most useful first post I've seen.

Im having the same issue. Phone locked up pulled the battery and phone stuck on HTC boot logo. Can get into recovery but no buttons are working so i cant recover. That actually happened before but i could get it sorted by flashing using rom manager as i could boot the rom.... Where can you get fake flash?

Cyanogen Mod stuck at splash screen after flashing

Just a quick post to all of you who are having this issue. This may be a repost, but I'll give the solution anyway.
If you have this issue after flashing Cyanogen Mod 6.1 or 7 just perform these simple steps to correct it.
First (if you haven't already), remove your battery, it won't hurt anything.
Second, replace the battery, hold down the volume down bottom and press the power button once.
(You may release the volume button once the bootloader screen appears)
Third, wait until it checks the MicroSD card for an update file, then using the volume down button, highlight "Clear Storage" and hit the power button once.
Once it reboots Cyanogen should load right up. Hope this helps someone!

Just wanted to say I believe its volume down + power to access the bootloader. Hope this helps.

Your absolutely correct! That was my mistake. Thanks for the warning.

No problem. Good info to know though. I've never really had any problems with CM7 but I've wondering if clearing data in bootloader as opposed to recovery might work as well.

I know a lot of people have had this problem. But not all, I guess its subjective.
But I have definitely had this problem, both with version 6.1 and with 7.
I love the Cyanogen Mod! What a difference that makes with Android.
The main reason I switched was because I wanted ad-hoc network options.
I soon realized it was so much more than that though!

I have followed these instructions but it either takes me back to the HTC Incredible splash screen (and hangs again) or to a Clockwork menu (black background with orange text). Either way my Incredible is still not booting back up. Help?

I'll be glad to help you. I don't have an Incredible anymore, but this is fairly universal.
Okay, so what have you done so far, give me the steps you used to flash CM.
Also what version of Clockwork and Cyanogen Mod are you using?

Do i need to wipe before flashing rom?
I have tried miui and CM7 both and after it gets down it gets stuck running the bootloader image. I just got the phone rooted and want to try a rom out, but i am having troubles...

Is good Rom cyanogen?,have htc sense 3.5?

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Q] Stuck in a boot loop with HTC diagnostic area (dead volume down rocker)

Hey guys
I'm running MrGarak's fantastic MIUI rom however I've found that the kernel is booting my phone into that white HTC diagnostic screen by default. Unfortunately my volume down button is dead and so I can't navigate the menu; the only way I can boot my phone at the moment is to boot it connected via USB as that makes it boot to Recovery and I can reboot from there.
Any ideas? I think this and another rom I tried both used LordMUE's kernel, could that be the reason the boot preferences don't default to just booting the OS?
Any help and/or pointers would be greatly appreciated

So you can access bootloader and recovery!
So just flash another kernel. What's your problem?
Put a zip on your SD (with a SD reader or ADB pull), then go in recovery, navigate with the 4 keys under the screen (or vol+ and power)... and flash.
What is strange for me is that it seems to happen sudenly... so how do ou know it's the kernel. Anyway...

I have clockwork recovery, and can navigate it using the soft keys (home menu etc). You should also he able to use the vol up key to get to the bottom of the list, (depending on the recovery you're using I suppose)

Unfortunately it boots into the white HTC area (dunno what it's called). The one where you can see if your phone is S-OFF or not.
Also, I'm not sure what is to blame... but I've only just recently noticed that my phone cold boots this way so I assumed it was a recent rom that I applied. Will test this theory later.

Sounds to me like your volume down button is stuck in.
Definitely not a ROM issue, as it has nothing to do with the bootloader.

Hey, i had this issue like a month ago. You can check my previous threads. It's hardware I'm 100% sure. Basically if you're in warranty you need to flash the stock rom with S-On so you can get a new phone. You can get it to boot but it's really a pain. You have to play with the volume up when first turning on your phone. It took me about an hour. Then when it boots you'll be in a "Safe Mode" (no clue whats limited all seemed fine to me). Then do your backup if you wish.
Also note: Flashing the S-On rom is a PAIN, took me about 2-3 hours of rebooting, holding vol up, tapping vol up, to get it to boot right, but with patients you'll get it to go.
Good luck to ya.

Ah, I'm definitely beyond warranty. The thought of vol+down being stuck down makes a lot of sense!
I'll just take it to one of the dodgy Asian repair shops, if it's a hardware issue I'm sure they'll know what to do.
Cheers for your help everyone!

to be fair a few of us have probably have encountered this, but many have managed to figured it out:
select with trackpad within recovery.
the power button works just fine...to turn the screen on and off...

Volume up and down buttons work as they should...also the track pad....but i cannot select anything as the power button does not work....
I also flashed clockworkmod 5 through rom manager...now the power button swiches between the blue menu and the hat....

1. uninstall rom manager, it's a problem with this phone.
2. when you say the trackpad works as it should, are you sure you're pushing the trackpad to select an option within recovery...
if you're s-off i recommend switching to 4ext touch recovery, install the app and from 4ext.net. you won't run into this problem (i.e. you can select things by touching the screen )

True story...just installed 4ext touch recovery and works as clockworkmod should...thanks.

[Q] Stuck on HBOOT and the buttons don't do what they are supposed to

Hi,
My One X was working fine with my custom firmware for about six months but then it suddenly bricked itself by booting into HBOOT and now the up volume key and power button both move the selection down while the down volume key does nothing. When I turn the phone off it just reboots into HBOOT. For it to turn off I have to wait for the battery to run out, but that doesn't help with anything.
My computer doesn't seem to recognise the phone either, even though I haven't really changed anything since I rooted it and flashed the new rom. I have no idea what to try now, any help?

No one has any advice? Does this mean it is completely bricked?

I thought that was unlikely but I finally got around to testing anyway and the phone booted up properly when I unplugged the ribbon which includes the volume buttons. I guess the down volume button must have been stuck on which is why the phone continually booted into HBOOT and the down volume key didn't do anything when it was pressed. I guess the way the menu HBOOT menu is programmed meant that pressing the other buttons didn't do anything but upon release it registered the down button again.
Anyway, I replaced that part of the phone and it's all in working order. Thanks for the tip.
