[Q] Evo vibrates instead of going into bootloader

Hey guys I am having a problem when I am trying to enter my bootloader. The phone just vibrates 3 times and nothing happens. I can turn it on and use the phone but I just cant go into the bootloader. Any ideas what it could be? I am using the Fresh rom and have used unrevoked forever. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I searched and couldnt find anything.
How are you doing it? You should power the phone off, then hold both power and volume down until the bootloader appears.

Yeah, sounds like you are holding volume UP and power, which (if I'm not mistaken) puts you in an HTC debug mode.
Like the Ninja sez- power off, hold Volume DOWn and power, should get you there
Thanks guys. Your advice worked out great and I got everything up and running. Didnt have a chance to reply until today.

But since it wont do the 5 vibrates i dont know whats going on. there is a really dull red light coming on when i hit VOL + Down. When i use VOL + UP it vibrates 3 times.

When you call yourself, does it vibrate ?
If yes - Hardware, replace your screen.
If not - I have no idea.

Not sure what one vibe means, 5 vibes is a partition issue, 3 vibes is recovery issue. The three vibes when you press vol up and power is normal however, thats qualcom diagnostics mode. Have you tried pulling the battery and then booting? Other than that there isnt really anything you can do. No booot, no hboot, no recovery equals a bricked phone.

[Q] Need help plz phone died

Hi there
I updated my phone to jellybean yesterday i am with tmobile uk , the phone worked fine after this everything seemed to install ok.
until a hour ago, i got a phone call answered it, then hung up, i put my phone in my pocket, next time i took it out the phone was locked on the boot page the white screen with htc logo on, i tried to power it off and the the 3 buttons on the bottom of phone started to flash white for 10 seconds then phone swithed off. the phone wont turn back on, it wont charge, tried usb to computer no lights nothing. the phone was fully charged when it switched off. my phones a standard one never touched bootloader etc
i spoke to htc they think its software problem, they say when i downloaded jellybean i used 3g not wifi (my fault) this could have caused the problem as there could of been a drop in signal they tell me.
the problem i have they want 210 pound to fix and they say its not under warranty as i have had the screen replaced, but not by htc voiding the warranty.
Can anyone here give me some advice or help to fix my phone please.
thanks

Can you enter the bootloader by holding the power button and the volume - button together, keep them pressed until it enters the bootloader.

Brick maybe?

Hello there, I was installing Recovery using this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682, I only went up to the first part of unrooting the phone where it asks me to connect my and install te recovery, my phone after the root did not want to turn on. I tried using the Volume +/- along with the home key, nothing, it just vibrates and nothing. I tried pulling out the battery and the same thing happened, no matter what I did, it vibrates and won't turn on. Also when I hook it up to the charger and try turning on it vibrates and it keeps vibrating in loops, around 2-3 sec apart. What is wrong with my phone? Please don't tell me it's a brick, I just got it yesterday ;p

I think this kit is honestly the easiest way to brick your phone. There are simply too many options, most of them have no real use for this phone, and the free version never gets updated. Honestly think it's a bad move for people who are new to the game.
To get in download mode:
Start with the phone off.
Press and hold the home button and volume down button.
Press the power button until the phone vibrates.
Release the power button.
To get in recovery mode.
Start with the phone off.
Press and hold the home button and volume up button.
Press the power button until the phone vibrates.
Release the power button.
Release the volume up and home button when the blue text appears in the top left corner of the screen.
If these won't work, you are bricked. Time for JTAG.
I agree 100%. That kit seemed pretty helpful for some when this was still pretty new, but recently it seems there are more reports of failures (or worse) than successes. When you get this fixed I suggest reading all the stickies and then take it from there.
Good luck
