I haven't done this for a while but used to do this 100s of times.
I have a stock HTC rom installed without root. It is an experimental version of 2.3 that was never released.
I'm holding down the volume down button and pressing power. When I release the power button it boots normally into standard home screen.
I tried with the back button and the same thing happens.
Has anyone ran across the same problem?
Is there anyway I can boot into HBOOT without the volume down button and no root? Any apps which might help me to do that?
Thanks
afaik you press and HOLD those two buttons until the phone goes on.
Your volume down might have become faulty.
To go to fast boot mode press and hold "back key" while power up. From there press power key once more to go into hboot mode.

I think the volume down button works because when the phone is on i can control the call volume using this button. I also tried the back key to boot into fast boot but that doesn't work.
I hold the two buttons indefinitely. It's only when I release the power buttons that the phone starts booting but always boots into normal mode.
Any other ideas? thanks.
Lol try hold volume up + power

Awww damn!
I guess the only other thing I could try is to flash a different RUU.
Does anyone have a link to the stock Froyo RUU? Would flashing it over a stock GB rom work or wuold it complain that the HBOOT version is different?

Press n "hold" back, press (wait 2 second) and "release" power. Simple. You can't do it wrong. Try again please.

I am really not an idiot.
1) Press and hold power and 'back' at the same time
2) Waiting waiting waiting.... 5 - 10 seconds, nothing happens, black scren
3) Release power while still holding 'back'
4) Same thing happens with volume down and volume up

I want to install an ICS Rom. So I need to root.
To root I need to install the custom HBOOT drivers otherwise unrevoked doesn't pick up the device.
In order to install the custom HBOOT drivers I need to be in HBOOT with USB connected. Is there any other way?
K, does ur volume buttons work when phone is booted? If so, turn off the phone then pull the battery out for 10- 15 seconds then put back in, then press and hold volume down and press power button (while holding vol down) it should boot bootloader
Also make sure in
settings/power
That fast boot is not checked (if u got that option)

Wicked! Thanks!
Removing the battery made the difference. It seems that I have to remove the battery every time after power down or when I powers up it skips HBOOT. Nonetheless it works!

Hi all, I'm an android newbie. How can I know/read my current hboot version?
Thanks,
Maurizio
When the phone is off, hold the volume down button and while holding press the power button. You will see a white screen and up the top you should see your hboot version. To exit, press the power button to select fast boot and then use the volume down to select reboot
thanks I need it
hi i'm new
i have evo 4g

Under settings > applications > remove tick right of fastboot.
Turn off, and then you hold vol- press power, still holding vol-, let go of buttons as you se the white screen. Use volume button to navigate and power button to select.
i don't know about your device, but i have to hold down power + back button on my desire

You have fast boot enabled. Either disable it under settings>applications before powering off and power on while pressing the vol down button. Or you can power off the phone, remove and reinsert the battery and power on the phone while pressing vol down. You will arrive at a white screen. 1st line tells you the HBoot version.
probably silly question, but - i've rooted my desire with unrevoked, s-offed with alpharev, my h-boot is still 0.93.0001.
Does it mean I'm still on stock h-boot? Or the other way, if I'd have cm7 or other one, would it be clearly stated in my phone's bootloader?

Yes. If you are on stock hboot, the first line in the bootloader will say 'Alpharev'. If you are on say, CM7r2 hboot it will say 'Alpharev CM7r2'

Jst restart the phone in recovery mode and u will be able to know your Hboot and Radio Version.
what causes that i have to remove batt using gingersense 2.3.3
I'm not sure about 3 series of vibrations, but it is normal for the device to vibrate when booting or rebooting into recovery. Is it preventing you from achieving something? What do you mean when you state that you have to remove batt when using Gingersense 2.3.3?

In his broken down engrish, I think he's trying to say he has to remove the battery to get it to start over.

Oh okay. Thank you. In that case, he or she needs to either reflash the recovery and/or reflash the rom. After a full wipe, of course.

I think what's happening might be volume up + power = diagnostic mode (correct me if I'm wrong about what that's called), instead of volume down + power = bootloader. I did that one time when I wasn't paying attention, and was all wtf? You have to pull the battery or there's no response.
If this is the case, you need to do vol down + power to get to the bootloader, then use the volume down button to highlight recovery. Power to select. This will properly take you to recovery.

You're holding volume down and power right? Not volume up and power, as has already been mentioned? Also, I'm not sure which gingersense rom you're on, but some of them have a 'fastboot' option. That selection is in menu>settings>applications. Be sure it's unchecked. If that box for fastboot is checked, the phone doesn't actually shut off. WHen you turn it off, it just 'hibernates', so it can be powered on extremely quick. If the phone is hibernating, in 'fastboot' mode, and isn't really off...then holding power and volume down will not get you to the bootloader. You must first uncheck the 'fastboot' box. Although, even if fastboot is enabled, and you hold power and volume down, it should not give you 3 vibrations, which is what leads me to believe that the other guys are correct, and you may accidentally be doing power and volume up.
i think you guys are correct.. i was using mikg.
volume up is what it was.. but why does it do that ?????
is it diagnostic mode did i mess my phone up ???
Thanks all you guys once again sorry about the OP lol

Diagnostic mode shouldn't do anything to damage your phone, as far as I know.

Press and Hold the Volume Down key and then Press and Hold the Power key until the white HBOOT screen comes up.
boot to recovery
Yep - do it like above posting says: BUT, if it doesn't work,
remove battery and retry. Success.

Also, go into Settings -> Applications and make sure the the Fast Boot checkbox is NOT checked. That will prevent you from getting to the HBOOT screen using this method.
Yea it worked. And yes....my s is s-on couldn't hurt tryin lol

Hi guys i need help. i flash a cm10 kernel but im on a sense rom. of course it wont boot so i normally hold down the power button. but this time it wont reboot! help!:crying::crying:
EDIT:bootloop now but holding power button also doesnt work
Hi. Try connecting the phone to the PC while it is in bootloop. Normally it will be detected by adb before it completely boots. Then you can do an adb reboot recovery.
connect phone to pc
type adb reboot bootloader

I also used my friend's laptop with Windows 7. The device was recognised as "My HTC" or smt but I failed to flash RUU. It either gives USB connection error 170 or just says "Sending......" while flashing for a long time and nothing hapens. (I also installed Htc drivers on his pc)
So can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? And I don't know what was done with this phone earlier because it was bought bricked like that. Thanks in advance.
You'll have to boot in bootloader somehow. It's the only way to fix it.
You can only flash a RUU if you're in fastboot. Your phone is not virtually connected to the PC when in 4 triangles mode. It need to be booted in fastboot.
Are your volume buttons not working? Nor the back button?
Thank you for response. I tried to use volume buttons and back button but they doesn't work. Maybe i need to push them harder. I will try again.

Just checking that you know that the phone needs to be powered off before you press the buttons.

Volume up button is sometimes very less responding on htc desire, press back button (do not release) and press power button (also do nof release )
after 3 secs you should see the white bootloader screen.
If you try to press them together, sometimes it just boots as normal because you may have pressed the power button a little bit earlier
