Hello xda!
I'm in the process of sending my phone of to be reclyced. Gets me a bit of money and helps the environment or a third world person!
However, I think I have bricked my HTC Desire.
I wanted to put stock ROM on it, and I tried to flasjh a custom rom too it. Now its stuck at the purple circle at boot. (T-Mobile Desire)
Obviously could fix it going into bootloader, but the Vol Down button doesn't work so I don't know how to do it!
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Tim
Have you tried pushing, really really hard?
I thought mine was completely broken until I really had no other choice but to push it very hard.
Try that and when it does not work, battery out and in and try the same until it works.
Dont push so hard that something breaks inside
Just so u know my buttons dont work for bout 90 seconds so maybe just leave it for 2 mins.

I dont know what you mean you hold vol- down and switch it on, when the htc sign comes up it didnt work.
So you push that vol down very hard and keep pressing it and turn it on
When it works you are in the bootloader 3 seconds after you turned it on.
Black screen and then the bootloader.
When you see the HTC sign instead of the bootloader, take the battery out immeadiatly and retry.
Do that maybe 5 times and press a little harder each time.
You can also turn your phone off and hold the back arrow button and power on, from there you can go to recovery with the volume up button ?!

I've tried the Power On + Back Button, doesn't boot into anything, same purple-never ending screen.
I've tried pressing the Vol Down button really hard, nothing. Weird, as all other buttons are fine!

If he read my post right he would be in bootloader & recovery hours ago !
Starting to feel stupid now.
Pressing back + power, but still purple screen.
I'm guessing you mean hold down the back button first, then hold down the power button?
Yes !
Don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm pressing down the back button, then I press down the power button. Then it boots to the purple circle.

Pull out the batt first, just to make sure the phone was completely shut down and do it again !
Took a video for you, so I can show you what I'm doing. Maybe you can tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Sent from my HTC Desire
First off ... banging your phone does not turn it off ! Strange situation here ....
I was taking the battery out . It sounds like I'm hitting it much harder than I am.
I'll try taking the battery out for a while and try again.

And take your time pushing the buttons, hold down the back button for a second or 2 and then power.....do not hit the buttons instantly
OK, I'll wait 5 minutes... take another video and show you exactly what I'm doing.

Hi All,
Please help me if you can with the problem I am now experiencing
HTC One X is my first android phone, i have had it for about 3 months. It has been brilliant ever since i had it
However last night I installed the Amazon APP Store as its now available in the UK. Ever Since my phone has gone absolutely haywire
Its a real stuggle to get it on, if you hold down Power it vibrates and the 3 lights flash a few times, then nothing. Sometimes it comes on! Then when its on its DEAD slow, like really really slow, also after a minute or so the resolution changes and things are all in the wrong place; then the touchscreen doesnt respond, so i turn it off and the cycle continues
I have managed to get back on it, and to get rid of the Amazon App store but I am still facing the same difficulities.
My HTC One X is UK version and is on stock ICM.
Do you have any ideas how I can return it to working order?
Also: DAMN YOU AMAZON
EDIT: BTW, when i press power, the lights at the bottom are on, and i can hear the volume sound change, but no screen. I am trying to factory reset but cant get the phone working long enough to find it
If you press and hold power button + volume down at the same time the phone will boot into Bootloader. From there you can do a factory reset. Navigate with volume keys to Hboot and use power button as confirm. There should be an option there for factory reset..

Unfortunately i cannot get the PC to look for it, and i cant get into the thing where you hold down power and down arrow
I think the screen has totally given up, which i dont understand; this was always a software issue
Install a RUU matching your device and then see what happens. If that doesn't solve it, then MAYBE hardware issue.
Dear ALL Gurus,
I have encounter a problem with my DHD, i cant boot up my device. Whn i press the power button, the device will vibrate 3 times, and the light indicator was in orange color. :crying:
If i plug into power plug or USB (Connected to PC), it will automatically load into ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.7 (Ace Hack Kit). At recovery i cant do anything, only can press the +vol and -vol, when i press the power button to select any of the function such as reboot the system / backup and restore / factory reset / etc etc... I use a custom ROM (Slim Bean), sorry i cant give much information, because i cant remember my device information. I'm newbies... lucky able to root my DHD by following all the step posted here...
For your information, my volume button sometimes got problem, it auto press +vol, so i have press a -vol to neutralise the key problem, but sometimes it wont work. it is because my volume button? or because the software ?
I LOVE MY HTC DHD so much, this is my second htc DHD, my 1st got stolen, i still buy back the same model...:good:
Can someone guide me what to do??
Thanks for reading my post.

What happens if you reboot holding power and volume-down? What does it say? And if I'm understanding you correctly, CWM isn't responding when you select any options using the power button?

CWM was not responding when I select any of the option.
While I hold down the -vol and power button, DHD was vibrate 5 times with the led light was green blinking, a few more second it vibrate longer time 10 times, but led light was not blinking, but the screen was still blank.

You listen,
YOU rooted your phone, NOT me, NOT anyone else.
This 100% your fault and
I just told you what to do.
turn phone on, where it gets to the HTC green logo,
hold power and volume down until it gets to fastboot. the screen that is white, DO NOT let go of power or volume until this happens.
If this doesn't work you are either not following my directions, or there is something wrong with your phone.

the language barrier here isn't going to work..
this phone doesn't even have a menu button so how could you have help it for 7 seconds??
IT is KNOWN that to hold the power + volume to get to fastboot..
As I said, you hold power + volume down for a LONG time don't let go until in fastboot... could take up to 20 seconds..
then you get to recovery and flash your ROM, or backup..
nothing new was discovered here.
we just fixed your user error.
Personally if you can get into recovery (team win recovery project) or stock - try just doing a factory reset (wipe data and cache).
Also- you are in the wrong forum. This is the USA Verizon wireless HTC One forum. You should be in the international One forum.
Thirdly - it sounds like you really don't understand any of this so you need to do some reading on how the entire process works because if you end up having to wipe your system its going to get complicated

Like he said, if the phone is off, hold the volume button down and press the power button down and hold them down until you enter that white screen you took a picture of.
Is that still working for you?

Hi.
In an attempt to revert my htc one x back to stock rom., I am now in a situation where I cannot enter fastboot.
I have tried al sort of combinations of power+vol down but it does not enter fastboot.
It comes to the white htc splash screen and then enters the old cyanogen mod boot screen with animation. That is where it is stuck.
Any suggestions?
Yeah keep the buttons pressed Untill you see the bootloader
Power + vol down is good. Just keep them pressed and do not let go of them. Make sure you press the volume button properly
Hi Hoff.
Thats what I am doing but it does not enter fastboot at any point.

Then your are not pushing right. Hold all buttons in and keep them pushed even after reboot of the phone !
Could not get it to work.
Ended with discharging the phone so it turned off. Then held the vol+down when powering up again.
Don't understand why the normal method did not work

You deserve a cookie sir
as to the question, connect to pc, open adb (surely you must be having it since you have a phone and an acoount on xda )
then typefastboot devices. this will ensure that you've connected your phone to the pc, and that all drivers are correctly installed. try more than one time, even if it doesn't work.
next, type adb reboot bootloader. this will get you to the white screen. you'll be navigating with volume keys, and confirming with power. I think that your volume buttons are malfunctioning.
