My phones stuck in bootloader and it doesnt respond to both my volume buttons and my power buttons. Anyone have any idea how i can fix this? Also when it boots up it looks for a file called pd98IMG. Ive tried putting it onto my sd and the phone boots into bootloader and loads the file but it still stays in bootloader.
The phone is also rooted and i was running android revolution
Anyone who has the answer to this gets a reward, most likely to be cash. Thanks
Pull the battery, put it back in and power and - volume down should see you to recovery and just reflash your current rom.
It doesnt boot into recovery when i do that, it just boots into bootloader every time
I think i had the same problem a while back, the trick here is speed As soon as you put the battery back in try and get into recovery.
Take the battery casing off and the battery slightly out, now push the battery back in and press the bottom of the volume slide and quickly hold the power button down for a second, than release the power button still holding the volume down, you should now be in hboot, wait 2 seconds than go to recovery.
thats not working either, you got any other ideas?
Would you have adb?
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1304940&highlight=stuck+in+bootloader
i get error:device not found, how do i get rid of this? :s
Is it still bootlooping? There should be a sweatspot where it works just as the led lights up, simply a matter of timing. Though i would give the battery out hold power and volume down and put battery in approach another go if all else fails.
nope, my laptop doesnt recognize my phone as its in bootloop so therefore i cant really use adb with it or anything,
Just want to make sure, as soon as the phone is powered off, it goes back on by itself automatically? If so take out the battery plug it in put the battery back and try to boot into recovery with charger.
i cant power the phone off using the power button, i have to remove the battery since its stuck in bootloader and the power and volume buttons dont work in bootloader for some weird reason

Ever since I went to cm7 nightly, I can't boot into recovery clockwork anymore. Holding volume down plus power does nothing anymore. Yeh I know I can get into it after booting up and going into clockwork but what happens if I can't boot someday and need to get into recovery?
You tried turning off, remove & reinsert the battery, hold volume down first then press power?
why would i remove the battery? Im not gunna take off my defender case each time i wanna do that
Ive done everything else though yes.

Because I asked if you'd tried it, which you haven't.
You thought that maybe the case might be pushing the volume buttons?
took the battery out and held down volume down + power and still nothing.
Is this feature totally turned off in CM7? I dont even see an option to turn on/off fastboot.
Im assuming this issue is the fault of the rom?
Is there another way to boot into the phone and install a rom without holding down volume + power?
EDIT: Did a complete overhaul and everything seems to work now. thx
Can you confirm that the volume keys work while switched on?
my volume keys work at all times

it's defo nothing to do with CM7, the bootloader is a deeper level of software and exists independently to the operating system. do you have adb? maybe you should try the " adb reboot bootloader " command, after you boot into bootloader, remove your battery and see if you can boot back into bootloader normally
Just a thought but have you disabled fast boot? Made that mistake myself and spent 10 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong.
thx guys but i got everything worked out 4 posts up
Hi, have just flashed a new radio and RIL using CWM recovery and phone has somehow put itself into SAFE MODE . Does anyone have any idea how to get it back out of this? Have rebooted, pulled battery and tried googling for a solution but not having any luck.
have you tried to boot recovery? switch off hold vol down and power. if that doesn't work then try flashing an RUU.Sounds like it may be bricked.
Good luck

After a couple of hours of trying it finally came back to normal after about the tenth reboot. Didnt realise the HD had a safe mode and no idea how I managed to put it into it but its all good now thankfully . Phone still operates as normal when in safe mode but only allows certain apps to operate and shows a little transparent box on bottom left corner of screen with SAFE MODE always showing.
Wish I knew some more info on it if it happens again
I think you get into safe mode by holding the Volume Down button while powering on. Is it possible that you accidentally pressed Volume Down while booting?
For record I couldn't get into safe mode on my phone, but I'm not sure if CM7 supports it or not.
I dont think I did, last button I pushed was power to reboot system back out of CWM after flashing a new RIL. If I had pushed volume down surely that would have taken me into the phones recovery but it booted up as normal and showed me the onscreen SAFE MODE symbol. Hopefully doesnt happen again because there isnt much info on getting rid of it
My previous post is not so clear. I meant pressing Volume Down after the phone starts to power on, not at the same time as pressing Power. Anyway it sounds like you didn't do that...

Whats happened is my phone was running abit slow earlier and the volume keys were not working with the music player so i decided to restart it. Now whenever i boot the phone up it boots straight into bootloader and it doesnt respond to both volume keys and the power button. The only way i can switch it off is by removing the battery.
I have tried booting the phone into recovery using adb, and i get the error device not found. Ive also tried booting it and holding the power button down but it still again boots into bootloader.
I seriously need to fix the phone as its got info stored thats important, so whoever gives steps that bring the phone back to life, Ill be donating money to them.
Thanks
You can't use adb but fastboot.
try to find some tuto on google. You can flash all with fastboot.
Sorry I'm not familiar enough to help more, just an idea.
If can boot fastboot can try to install a new recovery image

If its going straight to hboot with no help from you(ie not pressing button combo) the your volume key is probably stuck. Take off the battery cover and GENTLY try to loosen the volume rocker to get it unstuck
Do you have CWM?

I think your phone volume switch press continuous. So its starts bootloader every time. Real Solution to repair your phone (Maybe it's liguid demage maybe main flex)
So, I tried to restore a backup from TWRP. During the process, the system and cache were restored fine, but couldn't restore the data (for some reason, it said failed), so I figured it's alright, I'll just have to install all the apps again, no big deal. But, after I clicked the "reboot system", the screen went off and never turn back on.
I can't get in bootloader screen in any way, I haven't tried the Vol up + power button for 10s, and the vol down + power button, and the 3 button all together... Nothing works.
When I press the power button normally, nothing happens, not even the Htc logo screen.
When I plug it in, it only shows the battery charging icon. So I tried the buttons combination again (coz I thought at least the screen turns on now), but still, nothing happens, just the screen switch between black and the charging icon.
So, I left it charging overnight, and tried the buttons combination again, nothing works still.
Now I have no idea what to do, can anyone please help me?

It sounds like you hard bricked your phone. Try using this guide youtu . be/ rpA71FXddyU[/ but Im not sure it will work.
Only thing what you need is that computer recognize your phone, because when It doesnt then you should take your phone to local phone repair.
It's been stuck at this loading screen for hours. Are there any ways out of this? I cant power off nor can I connect it to my PC. It always rebooted perfectly until I flashed the 5.0 version of ElementalX. Then this happened. Hope to hear some input asap as I'm trying my best not to panic. No other kernels are on here except for micro gapp and CM 13. I would remove the battery pack, but might as well get a new phone at that point. I would post a picture but I'm a new user so I'm restricted. Thanks!

No need to do a battery pull on this phone, as you know is not really feasible. HTC has already thought that out, and built-in a hardwired button combo that does the same thing. Hold power button+ vol up until the phone reboots (may take a minute or so in the current condition). The moment the screen goes dark to reboot, slide your finger from vol up, to vol down (no need to keep holding power button at this point) and don't let go until the bootloader screen appears. From there, you can boot recovery, connect fastboot, etc.
If the button sequence above fails, its virtually always due to getting the timing wrong, either not pressing vol down soon enough, or letting go too early. Either of which, will result in trying to boot normally (not bootloader) which in your case puts you back stuck on the loading screen. Just repeat until you get it right.
Although, at this point, your battery may have just run out. In which case, you should be able to charge, and just hold power+vol down to boot directly into bootloader.

Here was your mistake. ElementalX is only for Sense and GPE ROMs, it doesn't work on AOSP ROMs like CM13.
Once you get booted into recovery, you should be able to dirty flash CM13 to re-install the CM kernel, then reboot. Or at the worst, wipe, flash CM13 and gapps again.
