[Q] Screwed? Volume rocker not working to get to the bootloader

Strange things happen on a Saturday morning. I found my volume go up randomly without me pressing the rocker and my volume down button was not working. For some reason, I thought this might be a software issue and went ahead to flash a new Energy Rom....but here's where it gets twisted:
Task 29'ed the device...and now, the phone is stuck at the splash screen and I can't get to the bootloader cuz apparently, the volume down button is actually not working. One solution is obviously to check for hardware issues...but I won't be able to do it for a couple of days. I was wondering if there might be a beacon of hope to somehow enter the bootloader without using the volume rocker.

HTC Desire HBOOT Issue

Hey guys, I'm new here - so Hi! *Waves*
I've searched and couldn't really see anything like my issue, so thought I'd post:
Having some weird issues with my HTC desire... earlier this morning I heard my phone randomly restart (was just sitting beside my bed) and for some reason it started in safe mode.
The power button wouldn't work so I could turn off / restart. So I removed the battery and put it back in, the phone went to the white screen with Hboot on it.
The Up / Down buttons do not work so I can't select anything, neither does the power button.
Everytime the phone boots up not it goes straight to hboot. I don't press anything, it just automatically starts when the battery is in and I can't do anything or even turn it off.
Now it has decided not to power back on - mainboard stuffed maybe?
Any ideas? :s

check whether you power/volume up/down buttons are stuck inside as if it is pressed.
Are you rooted and s-off? what did you do to your mobile before this issue?
is your SD card working properly? try to post the screenshot of your phone screen with that issue you are trying to explain

sounds like you none working up/down buttons are actuallly but stuck in the down position taking you to hboot on power up. need to free them

you really had made detailed trouble shooting guide (came to know from your signature). most of the issues encountered by the users are there. keep it up.

I know ^_^ tis the point.. good guide = less threads about the same thing.

Hi i m having the same problems here with my desire dunno if its a bit late but
have you managed to fix your desire is not could you try some thing when it loads to HBoot try pressing all of the lower buttons on the desire (home menu track pad back and search) and see if you have any response because once doing this for a few seconds in a random order frantically pressing them my desire had response but would only move up the list? cheers

[Q] My One X sometimes has trouble "waking up", has anyone else had this?

I have recently encountered a problem with my hox, where, if I press the power button, the screen doesn't awake. It's a little weird, because the back home app switcher buttons do light up if it is dark enough around me and, after pushing them a few times, the volume buttons respond as well.
I haven't fully tested it, but it seems like when I wait like a minute or so, maybe more, the screen does finally wake up. I have also held the power button several times to restart it while it was like this and then the screen doesn't light up until the sim unlock screen pops up.
I have yet to factory reset the phone etc., but I was wondering if anyone else had run into this problem. I have looked around the internet, but was unsure what to search for.

Are u using sweep to wake?, that sometimes causes this problem
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Nope, I do not have sweep to wake.

Well, after a while of being okay, the issue is showing up again. If I press the power button it does wake the phone somehow (back, home, tasks lights light up, volume can be altered), but the screen wont come on. And when it's one of those rare moments that it does turn on the UI flies everywhere, making it literary uncontrolable, until at some point the screen just turns itself off.
I am not running any custom things, everything is stock. I tried a factory reset without erasing the SD storage. I also have just sent an email to HTC, but it being weekend and all I still have to wait a day or two.
Any other things I could try?

Never had this problem with the HOX.

Hi, I was wondering what did you do regarding the lockscreen problem. I'm having exactly the same problem here. I've already done a factory reset but it did not solve the issue. From time to time I'm not able to unlock the phone.
Please HELP!!!

It sometimes happens to me, recently after clearing the clock and weather apps and widgets. I don't know what it is.

Major Catch 22 - Desire got Wet now have 3 issues! PLEASE HELP

Hi guys.
So i managed to get my desire wet/damp and whilst it still works it has developed 3 issues:
1) The weirdest of all - the phone wont go into standby, as soon as you press the power button or let it timeout the screen goes off and they instantly turns back on to the lock screen. If i leave it, it will timeout again on lockscreen and come back on, it does this forever. I have done factory resets etc, all the same. Weird right. As i result i would like to reflash the mod and see if that fixed it as assuming its software related (somehow).
2) Volume keys do not work - think means i had issues getting into recovery. Finally found a widget to do it and then....
3) Trackpad does not work in recovery so i cannot re-flash or try any new rom to see if that fixed (1)
Proper catch 22
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
Bridgstfer

Install 4ext touch recovery.

Update after installing touch recovery
OK I HAVE AN UPDATE:
The plot thickens but i have managed to S-OFF my Desire and eventually install Clockworkmod Touch which obviously doesn't require me to use the trackpad button so I was able to use Recovery. I wiped the phone and tried reflashing the ROM i had been using (Insertcoin) but this made no difference, the phone still keeps waking up immediately that it goes to sleep (either with power button or by sleeping timeout).
So i decided to install a completely different ROM (CM10_VJ_4.1.2_v3.0) and this installed fine. Now the phone will go to sleep and stay asleep if I press the power button. Problem solved I thought!
Now when the phone is asleep 50% of the time, trying to wake it with the power button will cause it to reset immediately and goto the white HTC screen. When it restarted it sits on the unlock screen and keeps timing out, screen goes off, then immediately on again - weird. If i unlock and lock with power button it will behave. For some reason the Search key will wake the phone every time no issues. Only the power key to unlock causes it to reset. Phone is sleeping according to Battery info.
Any other suggestions for what I could try. Could this possibly be something hardware related now? If there a way i can log the key presses or reason it wakes/resets?
Any help really appreciated, the phone is pretty unusable with this reset issue now.
THanks
Bridgstfer

theres a few videos on youtube, if it was me i would take the phone apart and clean all round the buttons. mite solve it. But as it got wet, the water could of damaged something in around the trackpad r power button, hense always waking the phone.

Thanks mate. So i tried this and installed CM7 today and have discovered something. As i said above the volume down button doesn't work and the volume up only works with some persuasion. Once i installed CM7 the problem where I lock phone with power key and it instantly wakes up now persists (on the JB rom it at least stayed asleep but reset if power button was pressed again).
However whe i changed the display timeout to 15seconds i watched as it timed out and instantly woke then noticed the volume would increment down one notch each it woke up again. This leads me to think that rather then the volume down not working at all it is actually stuck down permanently and could be causing the issue here. Is there any way I can find out if this is the case and disable the volume keys through software or do i need to open up the phone and disconnect it?
Thanks for any help - i think we are getting there!
Bridgstfer

I actually worked out that the trackpad is being pressed down constantly too because on CM7 when i disable trackpad to wake the phone actually stays asleep. Stil the phone resets if i try to wake with power button though, must be something to do with the button combo being held down.
Is there any way to disable both volume and trackpad buttons at the kernal/system level?
Tried button remapper but does not allow to remap the trackpad press.

With a file explorer, go to
system>usr>keylayout and modify bravo-keypad.kl.

I'm just back from holiday where my Desire had a ten-minute swim in sea water!
Naturally it was stone dead when I remembered it was in my pocket as I waded across an inlet which was supposed to be ankle- deep but was over 1.5 metres in places
I thought there was no point in drying it out without first removing all salt so (minus battery and cards) held it under a tap for several minutes then left it to soak in tap water in the sink for 30 minutes.
I then dried it over gentle heat for a few days then tried the battery. The vibrator ran continually and the white LED flashed randomly but nothing else. After another two days drying it booted - but only into Fastboot and the vol switch didn't move the cursor. But after another two days - it worked almost perfectly! The vibrator is dead and the screen a bit streaky, but all the other sensors work just fine and it's quite useable.
I had been logging the hike using My Tracks and it actually shows the course going a short way into the sea.

do you have an assurance or warranty?
if yes-->change phone.

Thanks for this. I actually got an app that let you remap the keys but it does not let you do anything to the trackpad click button (which is now the one stuck down). See photo of whats in my bravo-keypad.kl file here:

Any other way i can disable the trackpad completely. Perhaps at the kernel level?
Thanks

Power Button unresponse (stuck?)

Hello,
My HTC One M8 power button suddenly went unresponsive yesterday - Nothing happens when i click it to turn on/off the screen or even get the power menu up. Sometimes it seems to be stuck (Pressing the home button triggers the screenshot function (Power + home ))
The button itself does not seem stuck or anything and i get normal response when clicking it hardware wise.
I already tried restarting which didnt solve the problem.
I'm running stock rom, unrooted version 2.22.401.5
Any idea what might wrong?

My PC currently suffers from the same button stuck issue. All I do is power it off and keep pressing the power button something like 20 times gently and continuously. Give it a shot. Make sure the button is clean in the cut outs and do the same trick to your button. Make sure you [DONT] power off the device, as there's a chance of never booting up; just some friendly advice. :good:

Sorry to bump this, but might be helpful if anyone else gets the same problem.
I sent my HTC One M8 to repair where they replaced the power button - Everything seems fine now.
