hello guys.... i'm facing somehow starnge problem, here goes what happened, i downloaded some apps including 4EXT Recovery and i said that there was a newer version of the touch recovery to install so i did, and restated and tried to enter the recovery mod "power + vol down"
but it didn't work and i ignored for later on .... after few hours i tried to mute the phone and then it hit me that the vol down isn't working, i tried to press hard but no use... i tried to restore the recovery version that i normally used but no luck... and even tried to install another rom "i'm now using android revolution HD 6.3.3" but no luck.... the volum up key works perfectly and the volum down feels the same as always, nothing changed and it feels like working but it's not .... so have any one heared of my problem or faced it ?????!! hopefully i find the answer here...
i tired to search the forum but no luck every resualt was about hardware problems which i don't think i have" at least i hope so"
Device: DHD
ROM : ARHD 6.3.3
ROOTED, S-OFF
My wife and I both have DHD's and are both having trouble with our volume up button!
Mine = fully rooted and flashaholic!
Wife = no root, no changes from stock!!!
They are both almost 2 yrs old now so think its just old age?

ok, volume rockers seem to be a common issue in these phones. To get to recovery you can use adb commands....plug the phone with usb debugging enabled and in the PC open a cmd as admin or a terminal as root, then type: adb reboot recovery....
make sure that u are running a touch recovery to avoid issues...
Thanks for your help glevitan but the thing is that getting in recovery is not really the main topic of the problem cuz i was getting to recovery through the app or throgh advance power menu.... the thing is i'm trying to find out some way to fix it through software rather than hardware solution, if it's possible since the phone didn't actully have an physical issu, and it just suddenly stopped working after updating the recovery ..... hope to find the fix. and thx again

Hello everyone this is my first post and thread so please bear with me.I have a big problem i need some help with.I rooted my desire about 8 months ago with unrevoked and everything went great i was using defrost then moved to gingervillainn .i tried to update to 1.6 through villain app as normal but for some reason clockworkmod has stopped working i just get a blank screen then when i press the power button it says clockworkmod recovery v2.5.0.1 in white text i then have to pull the battery to reboot the phone.I have tried to use it manualy by turning it on with the power and volume buttons held and selecting recovery but i get the same result.Same thing with rom manager.iv used rom manager to try and upgrade clockwork mod it says its succesfull but its still not working.my phone has became very buggy and i cant flash any roms or restore a nandroid backup.Any help would be very appreciated also when i press the supper user app it force closes is it possible that my phone has become unrooted somehow please help as the phone is almost unusable
still no luck fixing clockworkmod
hello everyone iv also tried rooting the phone again with unrevoked 3 its says the root is running but i still cant use clockwork mod.I was going to try and unroot the phone from the guide in this forum but htc sync doesnt recognise my phone because im not running a htc rom i guess.i really have ran out off ideas on what to do.Has anybody here had the same problem and managed to fix it?Any ideas would be great.iv got super user permissions back so i know the phones still rooted.can anybody out there help?!!!!!
Try an RUU flash, you will lose root etc but it might get it working again

thanks for the reply mate
i downloaded an ruu to flash through htc sync but it doesnt pick up my phone i was thinking its because im not using a htc sence rom i dont have the option to sync from the pull down blind of the phone if u know what i mean
hi,
i've got a Htc desire HD.
i've tried many diffrent roms and played with it a bit,
but now i got some serious trouble.
i just installed the ultimate droid rom to check it out,
but then my power button stopt working.
It did once before but i got it fixed with a factory reset so i tried that now and it worked for like 2 seconds and so i pulled out the battery to reboot. but then it got in to a bootloop, so that sucked.
then i thought i just install the rom again through the hboot but the biggest one is that when it searches for the PD98IMG.zip it doesnt find it...
soooo.... what i'm a gonna do now?
i've tried to find a way to install a rom through adb but ofcourse adb can't find my device...
any ideas anyone?
You cannot flash PD98IMG.zip in recovery, you have to do it in hboot. If the device does not recognize the PD98IMG, then format your SD card again to FAT32 with full format (no quick format). You can also try another SD.
thanks for the fast reply.
i'm sorry i meant hboot, i'm no gonne try your advice.
when i'm done i'll let you now!
well..
i tried it, with 2 diffrent sd cards but it didn't work

i tried to install an update of ROM on my wildfire S..
during the setup it said there is connectivity problem.
the phone went off at that time.. after that it never went live again in any mode..
neither volume down + power worked.
i am very much beginner to android or htc. please help me with a full tutorial or
guide how to fix this.
here is the link to ROM update that i was trying to install
dl3.htc.com/application/sync/htc_sync_3.01.573.2_us_cellular.exe
plz...
and one more thing. its orage lite on front screen starts flashing when i plug in the charger/data cable. i check the battery voltage, they're 4.02v, so i guess the battery is full charged. if i remove the battery and the reinstall it.. the orange lite doesn't blink unless i put the charger again.
i've gone through other threads that seems to have same problem but i could not understand much of the terms used in those.. so plz i need a detailed help
Can you feel 3/5/7 vibrates when holding power button?
What did you try to do actually?
It's a phone sync software and not a ROM update which you have mentioned.
It seems that there might be problem with your battery. Check it first.

Did you root phone earlier? or
Is your phone's Bootloader unlocked?
If your bootloader is unlocked and your device rooted, install CWM Recovery via ADB, then download your ROM as a ZIP and install using CWM.
If you're not unlocked/rooted, do that first, again via ADB.

i guess the phone it is now useless because another guys says that
"Its bricked if you cant boot to hboot with vol-d + pwr. Srry only way is to send to htc"
so i guess that's the end of it
today i pressed both vol + and down and pressed power button.. the phone gave 7 vibrations and its LED turned on.
what does that mean? is there way to fix it somehow?
Hi everyone,
I have just discovered RecoverX and it seems to be exactly what I need.
I would like to install CM to my Xperia Play and I am now trying to set up a recovery mode.
Phone : Xperia Play (R800i - French one but I don't think it matters) (rooted and unlocked bootloader)
Rom : Android 2.3.4
I used RecoverX downloaded thanks to this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773227 , so it must be version 1.6.
I followed the instructions and in the end I was given a nice "Installation Complete".
I tried to reboot my phone in recovery (turn off, turn on and tapping on Back button) but it still boots normally.
I tried to repeat the RecoverX installation three times but the result is the same.
I searched for some answers but didn't find anything.
Could somebody help me? I don't have any idea about what is wrong here (and obviously, I am a Noob).
Thank you!
Roul
Edit :
I forgot to mention that I have tried x-Parts app from google play to install a recovery mode but it didn't work either.
I tried several times and hit the button "reboot in recovery" but my phone is still rebooting normally.
try
try with search button
Wow that was weird...
Although I have already done a lot a reseach, I tried one more time to use "try" and I found someone saying that he didn't used the Back button but Home button to get into recovery home.
I also found another one saying that he had to use Volume Down.
I tried them both and the Volume Down button worked for me.
I am very confused about this...
I though there was only one way to get into recovery mode per phone.
Does the key button depends on the recovery mode installed?
The fact is I am now able to boot into recovery mode.
Thank you for your advice Mogulz93 (...) and most of all thanks to LEDelete and the recoverX project.

try this. its the V5 of the X-parts people have had problems with V6 and above to work on the play.

The button you press depends on the version of recovery and kernel you're using not the phone. With lupus kernel its the back button. Stock uses volume down.

Ok I understand better now. Thank you for this explanation abdel12345.
Since I succeeded in setting up a recovery I will not try your method right now but I keep that in mind, in case I need to set up a different one. Thank you crazymonkey05.
Yesterday I tried to flash CM9 (file : cm-9.1.0-zeus.zip from CM website ) but I had an error with status 7 and installation aborted.
Thanks to that I was able to try the restore feature, and it worked perfectly. I'm glad I did a back up before anything.
I am going to search for some answers online.
And finally, everything worked perfectly.
I used flashtool and now I have CM9 on my Xperia Play.
Thanks XDA
Hi guys I'm new posting here but can't find the solutions anywhere...
My HTC Desire HD is stuck to boot image ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673652 ) which I flashed two weeks ago without problems, is mounting the JellyTime R10 rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778202 ) from like a month without any problem since yesterday when I'd travel to a vacation and let the DHD at home to found it back stucked as I'm come back.
The problem is there is no USB Debug, which I searched without finding it when the DHD was ok, the Volume Down is brocken and I'm able to enter the recovery only by attacking the DHD to an energy sources.
Unfortunately when I chose an option like "whipe" for example, it restart immediately and then get stuck.
I've tried to re-flash the recovery but it says "error device not found" so I guess is cause of the USB Debug...
Any ideas ? I like the phone and found nicely from about 2 1/2 years so I' wasn't planning to change it at all :/
I've probably solved the problem.
I've attacked the DHD to the charger in order to enter the recovery and than used the physical buttons (home, menu, back, search ) and not the volume and power button to enter the wipe options. it worked without restarting. I've cleaned the cache and it stopped looping.
Now I'm reinstalling the clockwork and a new 2.3.x rom. hopping it will be really stable unlike the other I've tried.
If someone can please link me a stable rom for my DHD it would be really a nice guy unlike other 74 who read and skipped the question until now !
PROBLEM NOT SOLVED.
I solved only the loop thing, the phone still don't hard resect and is invisible to the computer, may be because if I attack it at a power source it turns on in recovery and then crash, I've unlocked the developers section in the settings and turn on the USB Debug but the phone is still invisible.
I really need help about that, is there any way to solve that problem ? I need to factory resect it to solve the problems.
Can you reflash a recovery from fastboot? Have you tried running a RUU?

hi, sorry for the late answer I've lost the hope XD
I bought a note 2 but still REALLY interested in saving my DHD.
Unfortunately I can't access the phone from a pc because if I attach it to the mini usb it immediately turn on in recovery mode, and can't change anything by the recovery mod, it start but it just don't change anything :/

Maybe the USB-Port on the phone is dirty or a metalpiece in it or try another cable
