So, I have rooted Desire that worked perfectly for the past 4 months. Not a single problem, until tonight. First it starts powering up screen on it's own while locked which I try to fix by reseting. When it booted up it started vibrating like mad. Turns out that volume down button is now stuck. Try to fix it by reseting, again. Now it boots up to safe mode. After some googleing it seems that this sort of thing happens some times so I figure I'll try factory reset and see how that goes. This doesn't help at all, but rather f*** it up completely.
Now it keeps booting in recovery mode but none of my buttons are responsive. It just loads the menu and no matter what I do it won't select any of the options. I've tried searching google and this forum for help but I'm coming up short. ANY advice is welcome, please help.
Put it into bootloader (volume down and power) then flash a ruu

It seems to be that some of your hardware keys are stuck.

Yes, it does seem that the hardware keys are stuck but it's realy weird since I can turn on the phone with power button but I can't use it to select anything on the menu.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Hi guys:
I have this phone from about 10 months ago. I have always it rooted and with CyanogenMod, actually with CM7.
Today I was using my browser, and then it closed, the phone begin giving me a lot of errors, any application worked and I decided to reset it, because sometimes that work.
For my surprise, when I reseted it, It was bootlooping, It start booting (cyanogen logo doing circles), then freezes and then reset.
I know how to work with this problems and I reseted it on recovery and when I entered to the recovery everything seems to be fine, but I only see the menu, when I try to install zip from sd card, go to mount & stored, go to clear cache, or enable USB the screen just get empty but its ON.
Im very frustrated, I don't know how to proceed in this situation, I have looked in the Troubleshooting thread but have not found anything that worked for me with boot looping.
I hope someone can help me, sorry for my english, it's not my main language.
what button are you pressing to select the menus? Power?
Yes Im using power button.
Before I used the power button but now tried using the middle button and it worked.
Lets see if it recover correctly.
Yes because power button turns off the screen.
Dear all,
I have already rooted my desire HD long back. I have been using several custom ROMs and finally settled to MIUI. Couple of days back I put this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512565.
Here's the problem now. My phone entered into "Safe Mode". When I have switched off, its entering BOOT LOADER and the power and volume buttons are not responding. PLEASE help me out. I am very concerned regarding this issue.
THANKS IN ADVANCE..

Check whether your volume buttons are broken or something because it seems as if the down key is constantly pressed which directs you to the h boot
there is certainly some prob with the keys
Thanks for the reply dude..
There is certainly some problem with the volume keys. Isn't there any other solution to get out of the boot loop. Thanks
When I try to go into Recovery mode in order to check my hboot version, it doesnt work. I have searched this many times and I'm doing what everything says to do, turn off the phone, Hold Down the Power Button and the Volume Down Buttons at the same time, when I do this, nothing happens at all. When I let go, it just boots up the phone like normal. Help anyone! I am trying to check my hboot version so I can know which root guide to use!
EDIT: I have found a solution! I had to turn off fast boot in Setting > Applications > Fast Boot
I would delete this thread but I don't know how Sorry!
I think also that if you had pulled the battery it would have worked. I don't think fastboot catches you from a cold boot.

Ok so I installed Liquid Smooths new beta rom, it was running fine but didn't have GAPPS, so i went and flashed GAPPS and now my phone is stuck......
When it loads the rom it keeps saying "unfortunetly setup wizard has stopped working" i keep clicking ok but the same message keeps popping up over and over again.....
I have tried the vol down, powre and home button to get into recovery but all it does is turn off the phone
Pulled battery and tried holding VOL DOWN+power to get intro recover but all it does is vibrate every few seconds.....
I am stuck and have been trying to get my phone operational for three hours, anyone care to help me? I have tried ADB but it cant find my device and i can't get into the settings of my phone to turn on debugging mode

First, did you flash the correct gapps? You have to make sure what you are flashing is correct for the ROM before you flash it.
Second, you need to turn the phone off, then press power + volume up + home until it vibrates and then release to access recovery. To access download mode, its the same thing only with volume down.
Third, a bit of advice. I don't mean to belittle you, but it doesn't sound like you did your homework before you started flashing things to your phone. You need to read around a bit and get a good grasp of the basics, or you will end up in trouble, whether it be as simple as a bootloop or as bad as a hard brick. I hope you get it fixed quickly. Good luck!

Thanks, I finally got into recovery mode by holding the three buttons then letting go right after it vibrated and pressing again.... weird..
For the most part, i read every single post in a thread before i flash a rom, I have been flashing roms for years now ....... I guess i got comfortable and flashed this "beta" rom(stupidly) not thinking anything of it..... and no i didn't even check if it was the right gapp, i knew it was for 4.2.1 and i figured the beta was the same.
I am not back to a working rom, but now my phone is only able to get Edge speed, is that a modem issue?
That's an imei issue. Look around there is a thread about it. Happened to me but that got it all fixed. Under phone settings about phone if your imei is 0 you need to inject it back. Hope this helps

Hi... I have been using CyanogenMod for at while.. And it has been running great...
Then yesterday my phone started acting up, so i restarted it....
Not it gets stuck on the CyanogenMod startup screen when i turn it on...
And I can not enter bootloader, I have removed the battery, and then powered it on while holding volume down down, like I normaly do...
But i just end up on that CyanogenMod loading screen no matter what i try...
Is there another way to force it into bootloader or to force flash a new rom? (The rom i am currently on has been working fine for over a month, untill this happend)
I really hope someone has an idea... Please do ask if you need more info from me
Best Regards.

Hold your volume down before holding power button at the same time. Wait until it went into bootloader. If it is not, most probably your hardware keys is broken.

Hi... Thanks for your answer...
But that is how I have been doing it all the time...
Is there anything I can do? No way to force it into bootloader from the PC or anything?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Regards.
Looks like my volume down has broken last night
I was able to boot into bootloader using adb on the PC... So this thread can be closed
