stuck in boot loop, cant enter recovery. HELP - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i was trying to install a rom and something went wrong and its stuck in a boot loop.
But now the volume rocker isnt working so i cant get into recovery and reflash a new rom.
I've also tried to flash a RUU but the computer isnt recognising my phone at all.
any ideas?
Thanks

Try holding the back button + power, that will take u into fastboot then select bootloader then in to recovery

I am stuck on the htc logo and can't enter recovery, is there any other way to get into recovery to clear the cache as i have tried flashing a ruu and making a gold card, all to no avail.

Would it work to try flashing the recovery from adb and then going from there?

Need urgent help please

I tried flashing a theme using the same .zip of a rom for the One X so what I did was I deleted everything and kept the system and META-INF and now I get stuck at the HTC htc quietly brilliant..Luckily I have made a backup through recovery but whenever I go to recovery it just takes me back to the htc quietly brilliant screen. My computer recognizes the phone and everything and the fastboot commands. I tried reflashing recovery it says successfully but it didn't do anything, I still get stuck. I don't really know what to do afterwards. Can someone be so kind and help this poor guy out? Thank you.
If you can go to fastboot mode.
In fastboot mode, try "fastboot erase cache"

Thanks for the replies guys..I relocked and then unlocked the bootloader and reflashed recovery. It deleted my backup. Now my phone has no rom to boot. I tried running the ruu.exe but it says it won't recognize my phone. Everythime I plug my phone on my computer my phone lights up and my computer makes a beep noise
Is there any other way to run/install the ruu.exe? It says I need to have my device connected and it already is

Are you already in the fastboot folder with the RUU?
For detailed instruction for unbricking or reverting to stock, there's a thread for that in devs section.

OK can you tell me what exactly did you with phone? All reinstalling etc. OK i think you can go to HBOOT. So install lastest CWM recovery 5.0.2.8 THERE. And you starting recovery throught - reinsert battery, volume down+ power on -> bootloader > recovery. Right?

The solution of your question is HTC made some kindda hardware change in WFS shipped i guess after May 2012 due to that change you cant see CWM but your 4 keys might be lightning if you installed the latest CWM but you cant enter
Your recovery mode INCASE you find a solution please please do.let.me know

As mindfreak62 stated this is indeed an issue rooted in some unpublished hardware revision to the WFS. There are a handful of users with the issue and it is presently under investigation here. There is currently no solution that will allow you to run a custom recovery and many ROMs have the same issue. Your best bet presently is to stick with stock firmware until the issue is resolved. You can get back to this state by flashing your device with an RUU.

[Q] warranty

i made a big mistake when flashing rom, i don have boot.img, i flash paranoid rom and then reboot, at first startup it stucks at the screen. but after i long press power+volume - button, it then boot into fastboot, i then use the volume button to navigate to recovery. since i do not have previous rom backup, i just do system, dalvik and cache and wipe section. and then reboot again. now it stucked at htc quietly brilliant but bottom with red letter "this build is for development purposes only". i try long press power+volume but not responsive. i am not too sure it just stuck there or because my power button got a bit problem, sometimes need to press few times to unlock screen.
i tam so dumb, i just dunno how to deal with this.
so in this case, can i bring my phone to htc service station? is my warranty void during unlock bootloader?

the problem is now it is stuck at htc quietly brilliant. i long press power &volume- still cannot get rid of this, i am not too sure it is because the power button is spoiled or what. all in ove v kit also unable detect device.
Try pressing only power for more than 10 secs.it will then force a restart.

I understand, it almost happened to me once. Dude, you'll have to do whatever you can and somehow or the other get in fastboot mode.
Try pressing the power button hard enough...
When you do that, go to recovery, mount your sd card, transfer a Rom to your device, of needed from recovery you.can reboot to fastboot and flash the appropriate kernel.

thank god now i finally enter fastboot. now which step shall i proceed?
i think i messed up everything previously. what i knew i did correctly is unlock bootloader. now rooting part start screwing.
is it i need to root then flash kernel then flash custom rom?
Root doesn't matter because everything is done from fastboot and recovery.
From what was said above flash your kernel in fasboot USB then right after go to recovery from your hboot. Factory reset wipe (wipes everything besides sd card or will say fail because it didn't wipe sd that's good)
Then click install and chose the zip and then flash your gapps zip
If it is still stuck I know what the problem is if your primoc let's just take this one step at a time

Great, so I assume you have a booting device... First step you need to do is NOT press the power button or make sure you press it as few times as possible. You can also use sweep2wake by maxwen and I assume you already know that
This is because you don't want to damage the button more than it already is

[Q] Bootloop and then volume buttons not working !!

Guys I need help to resolve this...
I flashed Carbon rom yesterday and it worked well for a while.. But then once the phone rebooted after hanging and it went into a bootloop.. Unfortunately when i went into the bootloader with BACK+POWER i realized that both volume buttons are not working.. (prev only down vol wasnt working)
Now i cant enter recovery without volume buttons. I tried fastboot method for flashing a stable rom like cm7 but then realized that a custom ROM cant be flashed like that ...
What is a way out now ?? Do i need to flash the rom.zip from original RUU.exe through fastboot ??
if yes then do i need to flash the stock hboot first with large cache ??
and also how to get the correct RUU for your phone to prevent brick ??
Any help will be appreciated.
ps... I tried repairing volume buttons at a repair store.. They could not repair it.

I'm not sure if flashing the stock rom would help but you can try, so first flash the stock hboot from alpharev but the easy way you have to use the volume controls the other way you have to through fastboot usb using pc so you would have to look through the guide, u can flash the 2.3.3 ruu through pc but I think it will automatically make hboot stock.

Put recovery.img (4ext) inside ur fastboot folder on pc then boot ur phone into fastboot, then plug it into pc and open cammand window and type
fastboot boot recovery.img
That will boot u into recovery and u can flash a rom or nandroid backup if u have one.
ok thanks.. will try flashing a RUU. Thats m only hope now i guess..
I was wondering why cant custom roms be flashed through fastboot method ?? The phone checks for some android info file which has CID info i think.. Why cant this information be incorporated into a custom rom ??

Did u partition ur sdcard before flashing any rom?
I forgot to ask... but where to get 4ext recovery.img ???
I have partitioned my sd card a long time back when i first rooted the phone... Nothing new now.. I just flashed carbon kitkat rom like usual method.. it worked for a day and then after reboot went into a bootloop... I guess there is some kernel issue with that ROM.

Voila .. that worked like a charm
Thanks a ton friend.
I guess now that my volume buttons aint working I will have to rely on this method to get into recovery whenever there is a bootloop.. and ofcourse I have to hope that the back button keeps working.. If back button goes then it will be an end.
