How to boot in recovery when volume buttons are broken?

Hello,
Here my big problem :
I have broken after too many fall down the volume buttons on the left side.
I have insert coin rom and after a small modification in recovery, my phone has not rebooted and it does not anymore.
The problem is now as I can't use volume buttons, I can't select / go in recovery...
Is there a fastboot command or something to do it?
Please help me.

But how can you boot into fastboot with the volume keys broken?

By pressing and holding back and then power button.
SwiftKeyed from CM7 using Transparent XDA App

You can boot into fastboot by long-pressing the power button and then clicking on reboot and then "Bootloader"

To boot into fastboot you have to press back and power button. And to navigate there you have to use volume buttons (which does not work here), except you connect your phone to usb and use fastboot commands to reboot etc.

or you could use an app called quick boot to get to recovery.

Rather than trying to get into recovery, consider getting the phone fixed. You can do things in recovery that could leave you with no option than to use volume buttons and then you're stuck. My advice, leave recovery alone

bootloop after flashing cm7

Hey guys
After flashing cm7 ,(during the process i got an error which said "no space left on device"), every time that I try to start my device It'ill just stuck at boot screen.what can I do ?
ps:can't get to recovery.

Before flash while you're at CWM do wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and reflash cm.

I cannot Access recovery mode.!
ps:When ever I press sound down key + power It turns on(but not lcd)and charge led gets green(sth like falsh mode)

If you still can't get to Recovery after many tries, I'd advice you flash RUU... If you are S-OFF great, if not, no problem. When you are done, you can get your Root back with SimpleOneClick (My fav).

wildfire ....S-off ... rooted ///

I hope i'm wrong but looks like you have bricked your mobile if you can't go to CWM. If you can't go to CWM by holding volume down+Power button then its like you have corrupted CWM.

Its not bricked if theres still life in the phone, a brick is a device that does absolutely nothing.
I dont quite understand your problems as theres not much info in your posts. S-on s-off? Are you using custom mtds?

I mean software bricked, the device can end up in loop which is unrecoverable.
Like when radio flashing is interrupted.

Look I Cant Turn up My phone ... I Cant go To Hboot (Press volum down + power) but nothing ,,, its hanging on htc logo ...
HtC Wildfire ...its s-off ... also rooted ...
yea when i chang the factory rom to custom rom ... after instal the rom and in recovery say : no space left on device ... and after rebooting have this problem...

Your mobile is stuck in boot loop always without entering Recovery.
It is rooted but you cannot enter Recovery.
I hope somebody has a solution to your problem since you had rooted it and it has CWM Recovery earlier.
I am not sure if somebody got out of this problem, will reply if I get to know a method.

If the phone gets past the splash screen and gets to the bootanimation, you can use ADB to go into the Recovery.
Use the command
"adb reboot recovery"

New Problem

Today I installed advanced task killer/manag er from the market as my phone was acting up lately. I set security to low and task killer to run when the screen is off. I rebooted and now im stuck on the white htc screen. I tried pulling the battery several timesand rebooting but still no boot. I cant boot into recovery because my volume down switch stopped working in the past week. Is the re any way around this I only have 1 phone and really need it working. Thanks in advance.

Not sure, one day it worked and next day it didn't. Volume up works but volume down doesn't, the trackpad has also stopped working. The phone was ok before doing a reboot with the task killer.

Ok that's weird :S
Try press harder on the volume down or like hold the tumb on the minus symbol so it covers more then the minus symbol and push hard then hold the power button when it is off, it should boot in recovery.

I managed to boot into recovery but because the trackpad isnt working I cant select any options. This is damn frustrating. I should have installed a touch recovery. What are my options now?

Had a major stroke of luck this morning. While frantically trying all combinations of button pushes while in recovery a notification appeared that the back button had been activated with menu functions. The search button then acted as a select button like the trackpad. I was able to reflash my rom without losing any data or apps. :laugh: Thanks to everyone for all your suggestions. That was a close one.

Yay, I were just going to say that, that you can use the trackball or whatever it is called, you know between back and menu button. You can navigate there too

The trackball also wasnt working and thats why I had such a headache, luckily clockworkmod seems to have extra button functions which allowed me to select. Thanks again.

[Q] Hard Bricked One XT with broken HBOOT

Hello,
I have a One XT (s720t), the China Mobile carrier version of One X. After I installed CWM Recovery 6.0.1.5 and do a nandroid backup of the official rom, I flashed a custom rom. Everything went fine, the new rom worked properly except the mobile network(CMCC use it's own TDSCDMA network). So I tried to restore the original rom with CWM. Guess what? The game is up, rebooted and stuck at splash. It could not jump out of bootloop, power + volume down button did not bring me to HBOOT but reboot again which means I could not use fastboot to recover it!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone knows what's the problem? Thanks for any suggestion.:crying::crying::crying:

wrong forum ?
and the problem is that you didn't HOLD the power button and volume down properly

Hi Vcek, thanks for your reply. But I'm not a newbie for rooting devices and flashing rom. I do hold the power and vol down button properly just as I root it and use CWM to backup original rom before.

Try holding the power button until the phone shuts off. Them try again. or, try connecting your phone to ADB and running an ADB reboot recovery command
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app

Thanks damastah, but such method doesn't work. Because:
1. hold power button just let it reboot again but not shutdown.
2. the phone could not recognized by my computer. So neither ADB nor fastboot can help it.
