Power button dead and stuck on boot - Desire General

So, I had Supernova rom and it worked perfectly. I did used dropbox hack to get more GB and since then it's gone crazy. Every few seconds crashed apps etc. So i've decided to format it all and reinstall it. I used quickboot to get into recovery since my power button is dead.
I can use lower volume when pluging in battery to get into first screen but can't choose recovery. Is there any program so I can flash it from here?

Is there really no way for me to do anything about it except to repair the power button?

i assume you can reach fastboot screen ? fastboot commander lets you flash system and data partitions....

Nope. Volume buttons work fine but I am not able to go up or down to choose recovery. Can't go into fastboot as well

Turn off phone(pull battery), then hold in back button + power and ul get into fastboot

Got it. Tnx man. Will try to reflash it now.

Have another problem. If I delete something from sd card, it shows right back up. If I copy something onto the card, it's not there. If I format it, still the files are there. Probably broken?

You have the problem when you mount the SD partition in recovery, when mounted on a PC under Android, with an explorer like Astro ? can you be more precise ?

Similar problem
I had something similar yesterday. I thought i bricked the device or something but that I was pretty sure I didn't. It was only vibrating, so after some googling i found out the power button is broken.
I managed to get it booting again after the battery was fully drain and charged up again. I quickly went to the settings in my rom (BCM 4.0) and enabled the option so the trackpad can also wake my device. Also got an app called screen off and lock, whch enables you to lock your device from the notification area.
I do have a linux device with the adb options, which helped me get into the recovery, as that was a problem with the broken button. I had the same problem that I was able to get into fastboot, but couldn't do anything. Make sure you run a rom that has the trackpad wake, or something similar.
Luckily I didn't simply go buy a new device, even though the power button is broken it'll still run for quite a while still I hope. Love my device

[Q] Phone can't read internal memory

My daugher's phone can't read the internal memory nor will my computer. She has had the phone for about a year and now this problem just happened. Last year I rooted the phone and gave it superuser. I took out the bloatware and it was running fine for a year. My computer can read the external sd just fine. Tmobile told her it was because she wasn't running froyo. It will boot up fine but everything is a fc if you can unlock it at all. I can put it into recovery but it errors out because it can't read the memory Is there anything I can do at all?
How about going to recovery and clicking
Wipe/restore factory
then after that apply a rom such as cyanogen again.
then reboot it, and see if that works?

In recovery when I try get into the download mode or anything else on the internal sd card all I get is errors.
there is a download mode?
Just go into recovey and click "wipe/restory to factory settings" (or something like that)

Did that the touch screen still doesn't work
follow my "How to un-root" link, on my signature.
Then go to a tmobile store and say your touchscreen doesnt work.. they might fix it, or replace it.

I can't unroot I can't access the internal sd card. When I go into the recovery i get a pic of a phone and a red triangle. I hit the power and vol up. Then I get a error E: can't open /cache/recovery/command. I hit wipe data/factory rest. I reboot the phone and the touch screen still doesn't work. All I can do is toggle the screen off and on with the power button

The SD Card is a external card..Not internal, do you mean the ROM chip(Contains INT memory)? Remove the SD Card by removing the battery cover, and replace it, then just put the files to unroot. If you have a picture of a Red triangle then you need to get CWM. Computers can only access the Internal Storage through ADB/Fastboot, it doesnt appear w/o those on Windows/Mac/etc.. And can you take a pic of the screen while in recovery mode, so i can understand better.

[Q] Tried to install Beatmod ICS, stuck on "screensaver" usb and recovery won't work

[Q] Tried to install Beatmod ICS, stuck on "screensaver" usb and recovery won't work
Hi guys,
I've watched the n00b video and been googling for the last few hours as well as reading through various pages on the XDA forum. I've found a lot of problems that are kinda similar and tried various solutions but don't seem to be quite getting there.
Basically I had Virtuous Affinity as the OS and clockworkmod installed (should be the most up to date versions of both, they were put on no more than a week ago) as well. I also had a backup of current OS and so on on the SD card, as well as the original zip of the rom.
I decide I want to give ICS a go and so I downloaded the betamod ICS and then loaded it. It asked me if I wanted to do a dalvik cache wipe, a dalvik cache + data wipe and a third option I don't recall. I went with the dalvik cache wipe (at the time I was under the impression that was the correct course of action) then put it back in my pocket while ICS installed.
I get my phone out of my pocket later and it's kinda stuck on what looks like (but logically isn't, I'm guessing it was meant to be a splash screen type thing while ICS installed or some such) a screensaver which just loops endlessly. The only thing you can really do is take the battery out and turn her on again, in which case you once again end up in the endless screensaver loop.
I've tried booting to recovery using volume - and the power button and unfortunately it just boots straight into the looping screensaver again.
Getting a bit worried and feeling adventurous I tried seeing what I could do with ADB, however the computer seemed unable to recognise that any device was connected with ADB devices not listing anything.
I've read up a lot and I'm at a loss as to what to do - there's a rom on the SD card and there also should have been a backup but I just can't get it into recovery.
I do have the ability to view the SD card on another device and interact with it, so if there's a potential SD fix, that's certainly not out the window.
But yeah, I'm clueless how to proceed here and very green at the whole rom business. Can anyone advise what I might try to do from here? I don't care what state I end up going back to, or if I lose my data, I can get all that back, I just want the phone in some semblance of basic operation.
I'll be keeping an eye on the thread, if I've left out any pertinent data ask away and thanks in advance for anyone with a clue how I can fix this mess .
EDIT: Post may be better off in ICS thread above and I do apologise if so, I would move it but I seem unable to delete it.

I have, it doesn't work. I've left the battery out for a fairly long period. Volume - + power still just brings it back to the "screensaver" loop.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
Turn the phone off completely; pull the battery out for a bit then replace it and don't touch anything. Don't try to turn it on. Plug the phone by usb to your pc (still turned off). At the command prompt in the folder containing adb.exe type "adb reboot recovery" - the phone should power on and go to recovery where you can wipe properly and reflash whatever you want.
You should be able to boot to recovery using the volume down + power button combo (hold the volume-down key, then press and hold the power button and keep both held until you get to the bootloader menu); the only thing that's wrong with your phone is that you've flashed one ROM over another without wiping it first, so the ROM can't load but this shouldn't affect your bootloader or recovery.
Worst case you can flash a RUU which will restore it to the official firmware; you'll then need to re-root and re-install a recovery image to be able to flash custom ROMs again.
Very helpful post, thanks! I'll try all that and see how I go, I'll post if I still have trouble.
Yeah I dunno why I can't boot to recovery it's weird. The volume button wasn't working, so I removed it and am pressing in the volume down portion of the volume button with a pen while holding down the power button. It's possible perhaps I'm not successfully depressing volume down, but I'm 99% sure I am and that that's not it. I am however doing it as you and other guides advise, depress volume down, hold it and then depress power and hold both for about three seconds, no joy!
Anyway, as said, I'll try what you're recommending and see how I go. Thanks!

Curious what you mean by this? Cause there's no command prompt in the folder ADB is in. Do you mean in command prompt, be in the folder, i.e. c:\abd kinda thing? I tried just loading command prompt and typing abd reboot recovery, no device detected - no joy.

Yeah that was what I meant; I've got a feeling that that only works when the phone is powered off if you had USB debugging activated on the phone beforehand, so if that's not working that might be why.
c:\adb
results in error: device not found.
ADB app itself is in C:\adb\platform-tools but when I try that it goes The System cannot find the path specified. I've tried cd/adb and I can get that far but I can't get to adb/platform-tools.
EDIT:
Okay, I managed to get to c:\adb\platform-tools but adb reboot recovery is still advising error: device not found. Guessing perhaps I didn't have usb debugging enabled. Are you able to suggest another work around at all? I'm happy to flash it to whatever, I don't mind losing data, just want to get it in working order again. I don't see how I can though when I seemingly don't have access to recovery or USB...hrmm, must be some way around.
Accidental double post, sorry.
You need to try get into recovery mode, where you can do a full wipe and see if that fixes anything.
Firstly, remove your battery then re-install it, your phone should still be turned off at this stage. Press and hold the volume down button, then additionally press and hold the power butter, until something appears on the screen. If the bootloader appears, you can then boot into recovery from there.
If the above fails to work, report back with your results and hopefully something else will be suggested.

Your only other option to get into recovery is the volume-down/power-on combination. Like I said, I can't think why that's not working unless it's related to your missing volume button (maybe it's not maintaining a constant pressure on the button when you're using whatever to press through the hole).
If you still can't get that to work, I would suggest finding a stock RUU and flashing that. It's an .exe file that runs from your PC and will return your ROM, bootloader and radio back to stock. Obviously that means you'll lose root and your custom recovery so you'll need to do all that again from scratch. There's a sticky in the dev section with a link to a thread with various RUUs (it's named something along the lines of "shipped & test ROMs" - I'll check that and link to it once I've dragged myself out of bed to the computer). You'll lose all your data, but if you took a backup beforehand you can restore that once you're back up and running.
//sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk; all errors entirely intentional.
Yeah I'm starting to think perhaps the down button is just broken.
What state should the phone be for the RUU, turned off with usb plugged in or turned on? Bearing in mind, that when on, all it will do is the "screensaver". Will it work in either of those states?
Thanks, will deffo research more when I get home. Appreciate the help immensely.

Guessing you mean that as far as the ruu thread. Am downloading a stock rom atm, with shaped internet till tomorrow, meh! Will see how I go. Have a feeling phone was probably Vodafone branded at stock though, so that could make for extra fiddling but yeah, fingers crossed.
If you are able too install a stock-rom you can work from their than install 4EXT recovery
touch than you doen't need the volume buttons.
I downloaded the most recent stock rom on the link above. When I try to install it though, phone off or on, it advises a USB connection error. Is this likely to be because I originally had vodafone stock and need to make a gold card, or should it still at least be recognising it? It does advise not to run any programs on the phone or anything when while installing the update, but of course, as long as my phones turned on it's stuck on the damned screensaver loop.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-841890.html
Gonna give that a go, fingers crossed!
D'oh, just found out my mobile was Three at stock and not Vodafone, the search continues .
Gah, I'm about tearing my hair out here, I want my damned phone back . Stuck using a $79 Huwawei Vodafone thing at the moment and it's so so so awful.
Anyway. I was under the impression that making a goldcard would mean I could RUU a non-Three stock rom on the phone. I made a goldcard following these instructions; http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/
Then I turned the phone on as the RUU advises, (meaning it's scrolling through the feckin' "screensaver") and start the process and once again get a USB connection error.
What's the better process at this stage, try and take it back to Three stock? I don't see how I can at the moment, the only Three stock I can find seems to be rom, not RUU, meaning I'd need to load from the phone, which I can't due to no recovery. Or should I keep trying to get the goldcard thing to work, maybe try some different RUU's or something?
I'm open to any other suggestions as well. Had a bit more of a fiddle around with my volume down button, no matter what I do though, I can't get recovery mode. Always boots first to the white HTC screen and then starts the infernal "screensaver" loop.

How come the volume down button be broken. When you were using Affinity Rom weren't you able to use your volume button for music. Remove SD card from phone then press "First - Volume down gently for 2 sec" & press-hold power button when it goes into bootload place your sd card back select option "REBOOT RECOVERY". I think your panicking too much just be patient nothing is wrong, i think your just hurrying it up...
The volume button didn't work before either. I had to manually adjust volume from settings. I thought it was just because of the dodgy plastic button on top, but using a pen to depress the button underneath doesn't work either.
Believe me, I've been trying to fix this for days now, every different way of depressing volume down in order to get to recovery has not worked. Short of taking the phone apart and seeing if I can see what's wrong with the button (doubtful with my level of expertise) then it ain't happening via that method.
Got a little bit hopeful with this;
http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ruu-downloads
But that too requires my phone to be in usb debugging mode, which of course, it isn't.
Is there anyway to force the phone into usb debugging mode using some form of hack or some such? The thing is, it is powered and everything, I can turn it on, the screen works and all that jazz and indeed the phone will charge from USB and the computer makes a noise when I plug or unplug it, the phone itself however won't do anything other than the "screensaver" ICS installation loop. I guess I'm thinking where there's life there's hope and perhaps there's some way in that state I can get it to switch debugging on, though I think I'm reaching at this point .

you are not doing it right. once you have downloaded the android skd you need to open the file and go all the way to \Android\android-sdk\platform-tools. then go to the top of the page in the toolbar, and copy the address. then go to the command prompt and the type cd (followed by the location you have just copied) then type adb shell
then type adb reboot bootloader. that should do it.

Then post here if it works and someone will help you fix it.

when i take out batterie wait one moment then back batterie it starts
u see htc logo after u see again android logo hanging all the time
i think theres no way else only via jtag right
Take out the battery then replace, don't power on the phone normally, use volume down and power to get into hboot. If that still won't work your only choice is to use adb to enter recovery,
Do you know how to use adb?

First, I did read the thread that's why I thought I'd chip in and try to help.
Second, your english isn't too clear so what you're saying doesn't make much sense.
Third, if you have adb setup correctly all you need to do is connect the phone to pc, open a command prompt and type adb reboot recovery then wipe everything in recovery and flash a new Rom or restore a backup..
But if my help is not wanted take your ass over to eBay and buy a new volume button and sort it out yourself.

That's how you use ADB (Per your Screenshot)? Well done. Hopefully this gives you a lesson to not flash stuff randomly in the future and research before messing with your phone.
Anyway, cant help much apart from the battery pull method which Scratch described because applying any working fix WILL need you to boot ATLEAST into HBOOT, if not Recovery. So, if your battery fix doesn't work, get the volume button fixed, then you can be in a position to get it back to life. (Else, JTAG, as you said)
are you sure your side button doesnt work?
sometimes it takes my phone a little time to get into hboot it just depends where you are pressing on the side button... also try holding the side button down first and then just tap the power button
before you say my side button doesnt work at least try it

[Q] DHD crashed and won't go pass the Bootscreen/ can't navigate it either

Hallo,
just now I was trying to open an app on my DHD but it kept force closing so I decided to Normaly restart it. When I did that it went to the Welcome Logo then got stuck and kept on turning on and Off.
Then I removed the battery and tried again. This time the Bootscreen appeared (I was glad since I could recover a backup version of the RAM) but to my amazement I couldn't navigate through the options. Even the power button didn't work. I tried several times but with the same results.
I was wondering is there a way to restore my mobile from my laptop (USB Debugging?) now after I reached this state?!
How could I solve this?
Any help would be appreciated
UPDATE: I noticed before the Bootscreen loads, there appears some messages quickly before they disappear. I kept on turning my phone on and off to see what they said eventually I came out with this

Can you navigate any menus? If you can't you probably have a volume key hardware issue. If you can, i would just put a p98diag.zip on the root and reflash (use the rooted one).
Sounds like you are booting into bootloader. You need recovery. Pull the battery, then reinsert and hold volume down + hit power. If that doesn't work if you have adb set up on computer, plug it in to computer and use adb reboot recovery.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA
I guess that you have a PD98IMG.zip on sd card.
Remove it or everytime you reboot in bootloader it will ask you to update in a never ending story. Probably this is why all other commands are not working except reboot.
Then reboot bootloader and go to recovery.
No I can't navigate (the weird thing is the power button also dosen't respond) it's like it freezes as soon as it turns on... Could you give me the PD98IMG.zip in a separate link?
I tried reinst the battery while holding the volume + but it didn't work. It vibrated 4 times while the charge light turned green but that was it. It stayed green and the screen was off...
I've always had the volume keys issue even before it went crazy (they do not always respond to my press) but I just installed 3rd party apps as a workaround.
I couldn't find the p98diag.zip anywhere on the SD card (could you give me the path for it?)
I will try to reboot it through my laptop but could someone give me the commands I should write? I'm not that experienced in that field.
Btw I left it for a while before I turned it on again, it went into Safe Mode (no apps no nothing) then I turned it off and after several tries it finally turned on in the normal mode and was almost stable until I restarted it and it went to point 0 again and now I'm stuck with the bootscreen :S
Thanks for your help

You shouldn't have installed pd98diag. I would suggest either trying to run the ruu to get back to stock, or find the stock rom in pd98img.zip form and place on root of sdcard. Then reroot and start over.
Edit: if you find the stock rooted in pd98img.zip form that should work too and you won't have to reroot.
Edit 2: be sure to remove the pd98diag.zip from your sd card.

Good advice! I still have all the files I used to root (even the RUU)
And you're right I shouldn't have flashed the old pd98img because now my laptop can't recognize my mobile and I can't debug it from the command line (it says Device not found)
Can I still be able to root the img without using my phone? I used this guide to root my phone (http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-downgrade-htc-desire-hd-to-root-it-after-ota-update/)
Where can I find the rooted img? and will it be possible for me to upload it here so that someone could root it for me on his device and give it to me rooted?
To boot into recovery
Hold down volume - button (not +) while pressing power button.
Let go of power button but continue pressing down on volume -.
Hey presto ... recovery.
It's a very easy mistake to make, I did it myself a few times when I first got into rooting and flashing ROM's.
lol!
no mate I wish it was like that.

Help required to get my DHD back to stock

We recently have purchased DHD, and it was pre-rooted, we are general users and don't need any high end authentications in our phone to keep it stable, since yesterday I am searching on things how to get back to stock, finally tried AAHK, and pressed 1 at main menu, it rooted my phone again (I guess), but now it is blank (black) screen with no text after green colored htc logo and white background, it just blurred and turned screen into black, and halts in there,
What I tried before posting in here:
1. tried same thing again to flash using AAHK,
2. downloaded ARHD 6.x but no idea how to install it when I have no screen.
3. When I press volume down with power it takes me to bootloader, but automatically searches for some PD98IAG.zip (its not PD98IMG.zip)
and keeps searching it, (in other words it halts there as well)
4. restarting / switching memory card, googling.
I don't know if it is allowed here or not, but I am open to any payments if it costs any, for the one who can really get this thing fixed for me.

Diconnect the phone. Uninstall all HTC drivers from the computer. Install the HTC drivers came with AAHK tool. Switch on the phone in Bootloader. Wait until it stops scanning the SD card. If it never stops, pull the battery and remove the SD card from phone then switch on the phone without SD card. Once the phone is in Bootloader try connecting the phone to the PC, then try to falsh the RUU that you have downloaded.
