You need to install the Android SDK. This will install a program called "adb".
Plugin the phone to your computer, then turn it on and from the command prompt issue the following command: "adb reboot recovery".
However, I don't know how you may navigate the menu in recovery since your volume buttons don't work. Did you try to press them with something pointed like a pen or a needle?
You can flash 4ext touch recovery so for navigation of menus will not require voice buttons

I am using a rooted EVO 4G gingerbread with clockworkmod
Current symptoms are as follows:
Boots into a blank screen (backlight is on, but nothing on the screen at all)
Vibrates once you turn it on, but nothing after that.
Stays there until I pull the battery.
Occasionally vibrates twice and a green light will start to blink above the screen.
Tapping power still toggles the screen and backlit buttons when in this state.
Throughout today it's gone through several different symptoms.
At first it was stuck on the quickboot screen doing nothing, but the buttons were completely unresponsive. It would sometimes also constantly vibrate. I took out the battery for awhile and it would just show the screen again when I put it back in and tried to boot.
When I got home later that day, it stopped doing that, but just would refuse to boot at all. It would sometimes show the white screen and just be stuck there unless i pulled the battery out. Now it's doing the symptoms I posted in the beginning.
Any ideas on what's going on and how to fix this?
Can you get into Hboot? If you can you can RUU and hopefully that will do something.

Thank you for the reply
No I cannot get into HBoot, it literally just boots up (whether or not I'm holding the volume down button or not) into the blank screen I described.

Turn off your device and then remove the battery AND the SD card. Wait about 30 seconds and then re-insert the card and battery. Now simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until the device starts. You *should* be taken to the HBOOT screen. If so, select 'recovery' from the menu and then go from there. I suggest a re-wipe and re-flash of your rom.
If you still cannot get to the HBOOT screen or recovery, download one of the RUUs from my signature, specifically one with an .exe extension and run it from within Windows while your device is connected to your PC via USB.
Still nothing. Thanks though.
I think I have to just return and get another phone... I haven't seen this error anywhere. I removed the microSD card for about a minute, put everything back in, still tried to boot in recovery (vol- and power) didn't work. I tried one of the RUU .exe and no good, when the phone was on, the program didn't recognize that my phone was there or something. Afterward, I tried the other RUU link where you have to drag files, coudln't see anything when I tried to boot in recovery still.
This is looking like i have to get a new phone
new symptom. Just vibrated 5 times. Longer than normal too.
HELP
Reioumu, what did you do?
i have this exact same problem and im freaking out. any suggestions?
same symptoms...with 5 vibrations and need for a battery pull.
EVO 4G
CYANOGEN MOD 7.1 RC
SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-2.10.0001
I can get into hboot (by pressing vol-down + power)
I cannot get into recovery.
It splashes to the white htc evo screen, then flicker of the LED, 5 vibrates, and a black screen.
i was backuping my system using ROM MANAGER. When i turned on the phone, it couldnt detect the SD card. When i rebooted all the issues you described started to happen.
I'm at wit's end. I did a bunch of googling on the issue. "vibrate 5 times black screen evo" and there seems to be some sort of fix but i dont understand how to implement any of it. I got as far as installing the Android SDK but cant get fastboot to work. The issue seems to be with the USB port AND the SD card detection.
I was planning to just give up and give it to Sprint to fix but the rep said i need to unroot it before i send it to them. [email protected]#[email protected]#. I cant do that without recovery!
Hi,
I had my phone rooted, and the ClockworkMod recovery. I had the
[ROM]LeeDrOiD One Xtreme V2.1.0 installed and it was working fine. So i backed it up, and tried to install a new rom. I went for this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1550602, the install process was almost done but i was given an error. So i reboot and went it, but the phone back non-functional.
This is written on the screen 'htc confidential 25970 ht23nw108266' and i can't seem to access recovery to restore my backup.
I am new with the whole rooting and flashing business.
Any help would be appreciated
Did u wipe everythin bef flashong new rom
Mod or Die
yes everything was wiped before the flash,
also i can't seem to do anything on the phone, reception does not work, nor does wifi.
You need to flash another Rom.
That one isnt working
I would do that, but i cannot enter the recovery, when i ever i press the power button to get into it, it just loads the phone up. I have tried it about 10 times. What else is there that i can do?
Go to settings > power and uncheck fast boot and power off and try again
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
tried it, still does not work.
I have also tried to reinstall a recovery, which went well. But it does not want to load
from fastboot
type
fatsboot erase cache
fastboot reboot bootloader
try to enter recovery then
sorry but my knowledge on this is extremely basic,
when you say type, how do i do that? because all i can do on the fastboot menu is use the volume keys and the power button
I have also noticed that the phone doesnt seem to charge no more
You need to do some catching up. Install the android sdk, the htc drivers and use ADB from a command.prompt to carry out those commands. See the routing FAQ.

I have rooted it already, do i need to re root?
Do you know how to use adb via cmd?

No i do not know how to use it, what is adb via cmd
Times like this is where its said you should read learn understand then so it again before you attempt to do this to your phone

With that said adb is via command prompt on your pc while your phone plugged it to pc

when you say your phone can't enter recovery,
what happens when from power off, you press power + volume down for 10 seconds? it should enter fastboot.
From there, choose recovery. It should then enter recovery.
If recovery reboots, then whats happened is that the cache is corrupt.
You'll need the ADB drivers installed and fastboot installed. Google this (seriously how did you not figure this out when you flashed your Leedroid the first time round) but as you've already done leedroid you should be good to go already.
- fastboot erase cache
then recovery will work, I had the same issue.
oh no, where as before it might of been bricked. It is now officially bricked. Phones does not turn on. I tried to do the above, and the battery was not zero i had about 40% left, but when it powered down i was unable to power it up, no matter what i did
So what possible things can i do to a bricked phone? Needless to say i have a secondary htc one x that is working fine, not sure how that might help, but am desperate at the moment.
Many thanks.

Just send it in to warranty, you may need to pay but at least you can have a working phone again.
Hi everyone,
I got my HTC One back on launch day and unlocked the boot loader through htc dev while that still worked. Last night I wanted to restore my phone to stock so I could run rumrunner's s-off utility. I restored my phone with the RUU and everything seemed to be going fine. The phone booted up on the stock sense rom fine. I rebooted the phone once and was presented with a software update type screen. After 10 minutes or so the progress bar hadn't moved. I held the power and volume buttons to force a shutoff and now I am stuck in a bootloop.
The phone vibrates and displays a white screen with the green htc logo for 8 seconds and then cuts to black for 5 seconds. As far as im adware I cant get the phone into recovery or get it to connect to fastboot. Do you have any suggestions for me?
Try holding down power button and volume down at the same time this will manually put you into bootloader mode then see if you can get to recovery from there .

Are you able to get to the bootloader menu at all? If so, there is hope.
Hello,
I have here a Desire HD which was running Ice Cold Sandwich. The ROM became unstable, so I wanted to give CM 10.1 a try. This Desire HD was been HTC Dev unlocked, but is still S-ON. So, I can't flash the boot partition from recovery. I rebooted the phone into fastboot and flashed the boot partition. (fastboot flash boot boot.img) I thought it was possible to reboot to recovery with fastboot, but it seems to be not possible. So I did "fastboot reboot". And that's where the misery started...
Although I was able to navigate through the bootloader with the volume rocker, I seem to be unable to boot the device in fastboot nor the recovery. It keeps booting ICS. However, the volume down seems only to work occasionally. Because it's not running the ICS boot.img, it's stuck in a bootloop. When the device is "booting" and I try to reboot the device using adb, I get the message that my computer is not authorised.
I do the following when attempting to boot in fastboot or recovery: (I don't really care if I get the device to boot in fastboot or recovery. I can get the device to work in fastboot or recovery.)
I make sure that the device is turned off completely by removing the battery. Then I hold the volume up (that seems to be the best working one) and after about half a second I press the power button. I hold both until the white HTC screen goes away. I also tried to let the powerbutton go at the moment that the HTC screen appears.
Quick summary:
State of the device:
HTC Dev unlocked.
Running Ice Cold Sandwich.
Recovery is 4EXT.
CM 10.1 boot.img.
Bootlooping.
Not responding when holding the volume button when booting.
Unable to connect to it using adb.
Can someone please, please help me? I'm usually not a noob, but I really f*****d it up this time.
The worst part is: it's not even mine...
I fixed it. The volume rocker seemed to be the problem. I removed the sticker under the battery cover and popped the buttons out. While holding the battery with my left thumb, using my left hand for pushing the volume down button and pushing the powerbutton with my left index finger I got it to boot to the bootloader. Yes, it was pretty awkward. I flashed the ROM from the SD card and it boots.
My problem is solved!
Hello everyone! So I've had my phone (HTC One M8) rooted and custom recovery and rom installed for a little while now. The latest rom I've installed was Android Revolution HD 22.1. I also have twrp 2.8.1.0 installed. The other day my phone got wet and started to constantly reboot itself, wouldn't shut off and stay off, would never actually start. I put it in a cup of rice for 2 days, then proceeded to plug it in to charge it. Once charged enough I tried to turn it on. It only made it the HTC One logo screen and would vibrate every 10 seconds or so. I tried rebooting several times and no matter what I did with different button combinations I could not get it to load into bootloader. Eventually with restarting different ways and "mechanically stressing" the phone (short temper lol) I managed to get it to loading into the rom itself. From there I opened hasoons all in one toolkit to reboot directly into recovery and recovered to the stock rom. So the phone will now reboot with no problem into this rom. I haven't tried reflashing the ARHD 22.1 rom again because im afraid it'll break again. However, while in the stock rom everything work fines except for the volume up button which does nothing, except for while the screen is off, if I turn my phone to landscape the camera app will open without me even pressing the volume up button. If I reboot into bootloader via the quickboot app or hasoons toolkit, my volume down button with make the cursor go up, the volume up button does nothing, and the power button does nothing. The only thing I can do in bootloader is to hold power+volume up to get the phone to reboot. I also cannot get bootloader to load by holding volume down+power. So, After all that explaining, my main question would be, do you think that the buttons are shorting in a weird way because of water damage, or do you think my software got corrupted because of all the rebooting it did? Any help is appreciated, thanks!
