power + vol down = nothing

Hi !
I'm a happy dhd user on custom firmware (leedroid 1.4.1) and since the update from stock 2.2 firmware (first to 2.2.1 official then downgraded, routed, s-off and installed custom ROM) i can no longer boot to recovery mode by holding power and vol down.
I still can boot to recovery from the os but id something bas happens, i won't ne able to restore ;(
Any idea why i can't go directly in recovery mode ?
Thanks
Yoann

you should hold vol down. and press power once, just keep vol down held down till it boots into bootloader

Or try turning the phone completely off, the plug the power line in, that will take it straight into the recovery.

Turn off HTC Fastboot. Your phone isn't actually off when you turn it off, so it can't enter bootloader.
Settings > Applications > Fastboot

[Q] go to ClockWorkMod with DHD buttons ? How ?

Hi,
is there a way to enter in "recovery mode" with clockworkmod without using "ROM manager" option ?
Because, when I start my phone using "low volume + power button", I always have the standard HTC recovery mode.
Thanks !

You need S-off first before installing a custom recovery such as CWM

I think it's S-OFF, ENG-off, root and everything else (I'm new to these stuff).
I just installed Revolution 6.1.1.
In fact, I wonder if there's a way, when the phone is off, to start the phone with the ClockWorkMod boot (I think it is called "recovery mode"), with a combination of buttons ?
thanks

Sorry,
1. Power off
2. Hold vol down then hold power (don't release any button yet)
3. You will boot into Hboot screen, release all buttons
4. Use vol button and power button to select recovery

Get the advanced power menu mod for ARHD 6.1.x
On the restart menu there's an option to reboot to recovery.

it's strange but, when the phone is off, if I press "volume down" + "Power" buttons, the DHD starts normally, not in recovery mode.
But, if I press the "volume down" button when restarting the DHD, then I enter in recovery mode.
The idea is : If I make a big miskake, like delete the ROM (so I can't start my DHD anymore), what's the way to go to ClockWorkMod recovery mode to restore a previoous nandroid backup for example ? (sorry, I'm new to these stuff).
Thanks

For me, its a lot easier to just keep a PD98IMG.zip file on the sdcard and flash it via hboot

My phone doesn't want to start in recovery mode when it is off in fact.
You're sure the combination is Power button + low volume, even with Android Revolution 6.1.1 ?

Turn off fastboot. In settings/power.

oh yess
I understand, when Power\Fast Boot is enabled, the DHD doesn't really turn off.
So when it turns on, it's directly on the Sense desk.
Ok !!!!
Thank you very much !

No probs

I flashed Hyperion Kernel and then phone dont boot,,
Stuck at boot loop..
Tried adb reboot recovery but no device found
I just pressed vol up + vol down and power
Phone switched off and i took out battery
I again tried starting phone and pressed vol down but phone doesnt go to bootloader menu
Recover installed is 4ext 2.26 rC4
Please help soon!!!

Are you S-OFF?
Ehy can't you go to the bootloader? What happens?

F**k, I posted in Desire General and searching the thread in Desire S general

Can't go to bootloader ? How about turn it off, and turn on while holding the back button ?

Get into fastboot menu (back+power) and click bootloader.

Can't boot into HBOOT

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!

[Q] HTC Desire start-up problem

Hi.
So, today I have met with start-up problem. During the normal using my phone, everything had been suspended, so I pulled out the batterry. And my phone hadn't been managed to start again. Only what I can see is the animation of evervol (I have had this kind of rom for about a year - old version of it :/ ). I tried booting by pressing dwn vol but, and power button in the same time...BUT... I know that I have the damaged vol button (only up vol but is working)... so it couldn't have worked anyway...
Do you have any ideas, how I can force on him to enter the boot menu or to start normally? From some kind of computer programme or what??
I really dont want to lose anythink from him... but if it will be necessary I would have no more objections against...

Press and hold back button + power and that will boot u into fastboot then u can get into recovery from there.
