Strange, why it is in bootloop, were you doing anything at the time?
A few things I can think of:
- Repair your volume buttons, look for a youtube guide. It's useful to have your volume buttons working anyway.
- If you don't want to hardware fix, I think you could potentially try fastboot commands to flash 4EXT recovery. CWM is useless as you can't navigate inside CWM with broken volume keys, and 4EXT is better anyway e.g. for partitioning sd card.
- Setup adb and fastboot, and flash the 4ext recovery.img using fastboot. (Get into fastboot by "back+power")
- Try to boot into recovery with by forcing a reboot: "fastboot reboot-bootloader" to get back to bootloader screen
- Press power to select "reboot", or try your luck again volume key to get to recovery.
- Then "adb reboot recovery" no guarantee this will work as never tried it.
- If you get to recovery, make a nandroid backup. Then try to reflash the ROM without wiping anything, see if it boots.
- Last resort is to flash an RUU and s-off again to get it booting, but the volume button issue will remain.
Eventually if you install mildwild or similar ROM again, it's best to flash the ROM on a smaller hboot, as you're still on stock hboot and wasting a lot of space.

There is a way to boot recovery using fastboot, so basically setup adb & fastboot using eddies guide then get recovery.img (4ext as pb99img in my sig, just extract the file) put the recovery.img in ur fastboot folder on pc then boot ur phone into fastboot (back + power) plug in ur phone to pc then open command window n type
fastboot boot recovery.img
That should boot u into recovery

New user needs help - nand backup

Hi all, I just rooted my phone using Amon-ra and unrevoked -- latest one. I am trying to do a nand backup so I can flash a kernel onto my phone, but I cant find the option.
When I power into the bootloader, and navigate to recovery. It gives me a red yield sign with an exclamation point. When I press volume up and power, it takes me to the Android system recovery <3e>. I see options to reboot system now (reboots back to main screen), apply sdcard:update.zip (which gives me some error), wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition.
I downloaded Rom manager but thats only for clockwork recovery.
What am I doing wrong? What do i need to do?
Thanks for the guidance.
Android with the yellow exclamation is the stock recovery. What happens when you hold vol down & press power?
BTW, this is also Q&A material, not development.
If I push volume down and power, it takes me to the Hboot/Bootloader, whatever that screen is called, where you have option to fastboot, recovery, etc.
Sorry I didnt realize this was development. I have been reading a lot of threads on this so I assumed incorrectly. Please feel free to move it, or I can do it manually.
Thanks again

What do you see at the top of the HBoot screen? S-ON or S-OFF?
Also, what H-Boot version?
Sounds like your Unrevoked didn't take. reboot your phone and try again.

Try using ROM Manager to flash Clockwork.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I was told Amon-RA recovery was the best. I followed the instructions step by step. Even saw the $ change to #. What went wrong? Is there no way for me to create a backup with flashing other things? I mean do I even have a rooted phone? I know the superuser app doesnt have anything in it. Its blank! But I have a superuser app.

I think you can do one of 2 things:
1. Redo Unrevoked. If you scroll down to Recovery in the Fastboot/Bootloader screen and it takes you to the stock recovery then it didn't flash recovery.
2. Boot into your phone and, making sure USB is turned on in Settings > Applications > Development, use this from Amon-Ra's post
via fastboot
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img to a location where fastboot can find it.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode
fastboot devices(press enter) (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your phone)
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img(press enter)
Ok just tried doing the above:
Copied that recovery.img file to my sdcard.
Restarted phone into Hboot
Phone checked for PCIMG -> wasnt there
Then went into Fastboot
the following are the options that i have: Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader, and power down.
not sure what to do?
Bumping it like im sooo fine.

With the SD Card inserted, it does the SD Checking! Sequence where it looks for images I'm guessing, being unable to connect the SD Card directly with an adapter I was hoping if anyone could tell me whether if theres anyway to transfer files via HBOOT mode or any advice on how to recover phone (Perhaps if theres a method to force it into the CWR mode.)
Thank you for any help.

Are u able to navigate to recovery just through hboot with the volume buttons?
If not, if you've used adb before use the command
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Then from there, since you're S-OFF you can do a full wipe and restore a backup or flash a ROM, if you have those things on your sd
Let me know if there are any other problems
Select bootloader option in hboot and then you will see recovery and just hit the power button when you want to enter recovery.

Thanks for the replies, and No, I'm unable to navigate the HBOOT with the volume controls at this point.
Would the ADB allow me to reset and set it into recovery mode whilst its in HBOOT mode? This might be something I'll look into once I get home.

Yes it would
The easiest way to use adb that I've found is to look for leith51's guide to flashing a radio, they have an easy flash guide that includes a zip with adb and all drivers included, and a .bat file for an easy start.
Click start here.bat, then type "adb devices" to see if the phone is recognised (it will print your phone's serial number) then go ahead with "adb reboot recovery"
If you can't find it I'll send it to you when i'm home from work
Format your whole phone and try again
here you go, i had it bookmarked on my laptop

I removed battery then put it back and hold the down volume key and power button it came to HBOOT screen but there too i am unable to select any of the options. My all keys are perfect and not defected. I have so many times flashed roms which upgraded my HBOOT to different version i.e 1.01.0001, 1.01.0002, 0.08.0008 and some thing like this but after all my htc not loaded its OS. I tried to install revolutionary & unrevoked but these software demand to connect phone in charge only mode with pc but i can't load OS so how can i connect my phone in charge only mode. Following are the important details.
Kindly Help me.

What exactly does that mean? You can't select "Recovery" from the Fastboot menu? Can't move between the options with Vol up/down keys? - Bear in mind: from the Fastboot menu you *select* an option by pressing the power button while in Recovery (Clockworkmod) you do it with the trackball...

No i downloaded SPB Shell from another site and it may be incompatible with my HTC Wildfire but i installed it. Yeah i can't select any option from the Fastboot menu, Power and both volume key do not work in fastboot and hboot menu. Recovery option is not available because i have not installed (Clockworkmod Recovery Application) and i can't install it because to install clockworkmod recovery software the mobile is to be attached with pc in charging mod only but my OS is not booting so i cant connect my phone with pc in charg only mode. Please have a look in the bootlader details ganied by fastboot getvar command, there may be some clue about my problem. thnx
I'm pretty sure spb shell didn't cause this, at the end of the day its just a launcher which is very much incompatible with a wildfire. In my eyes the only damage installing an incompatible launcher can cause would be if you have ticked the default setting and rebooted because obviously after the restart it won't work and you would be unable to change the default. It cannot harm your devices hardware buttons especially when the system isn't loaded.
Why you don't have a recovery loaded I just don't understand, you can still use fast boot to flash cwm and then adb command "adb reboot recovery" to enter recovery and try to flash it if the buttons still don't work try an ruu.

3. I have tried to connect phone with pc. I turned on phone so it stuck on the Fastboot screen then i plugged usb cable in the phone and run the exe file from computer "RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTCCN_CHS_2.10.1400.3_Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151119_signed.exe" then installation process started in the computer as well as on the screen of the phone after completion my phone reboots and HTC logo with white background comes and sticks on this screen, I waited about 15 mins but OS didnt start. Then i removed and placed battery so my phone came again on the fastboot screen. I tried to install revolutionary & unrevoked & clockworkmod recovery but these all application required phone to connect with PC in CHARGE ONLY mode but my OS is not starting so i cant connect phone in charge only mode. Only fastboot command is working with the following options " getvar & reboot & devices ". I tried to send file to phone using fastboot command it gave me error [ melformed 1 ]. and adb command is also giving me same response. one more this when i place some files in my SD CARD and place it in my phone and start the phone and comes to hboot menu where my phone scans SD Card for the files " PC49IMG.ZIP PC49IMG.NBH PC49DIAG.ZIP PC49DIAG.NB ". I placed recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-buzz.zip file after changing its name to PC49IMG.ZIP in SD Card the booted my phone. My phone scanned PC49IMG.ZIP file but didn't install it.
I hope now everything is clear, and you can help me.........
Try with this PC49IMG.zip
http://www.mediafire.com/?398dklf1uzss5f6
Hopefully that'll work to get recovery, if not I'd try a different ruu next.
In fact you may as well give this a shot too, on your PC click start or the windows orb and type %temp% to open your temp folder, run the ruu and look for some new files appearing in the temp folder. Look through the new folders for a file named rom.zip and drag it to your desktop, this basically contains the whole phones os, bootloader and all. Here you can either rename that zip to PC49IMG.zip and drop it on your SD although it does ask to press volume up to install so that may not work still. You could also try extracting the rom.zip and fastboot flash the files to your phone.
Thanx for your effort. My phone updated from this PC49IMG uploaded by you but after rebooting nothing changed, still same condition. i tried your second advice of rom.zip from temp. I placed rom.zip in my SD CARD after changing its name to PC49IMG.zip then rebooted and installed it but after installation nothing happened my phone came to FASTBOOT screen after reboot.
Did you try adb reboot recovery command?
I'm all out of ideas it seems your boot loader has somehow corrupted I'm pretty sure if you could somehow flash the bootloader or get an ruu to successfully flash it may fix the problem. Only other thing I can think of is a different ruu (eclair ones always seemed to work best for me) if you haven't tried one already.
If you have then maybe its a good excuse for an upgrade....
...
Yes i have tried adb command but it does not work, it says " device not found " because my phone is connected in fastboot screen condition not properly. I think adb required charge only mode from the OS but my OS is not starting. I have installed the following RUU successfully because it's a EXE file so when i run this setup from my computer it identifies my wildfire and install the RUU and it reboots my wildfire after rebooting HTC logo comes with white background but doesn't go ahead and stick on that screen. then i remove battery and place back and turn on again so it comes to fastboot screen.

Try using fastboot to reboot into the the recovery.
I think the command is just "fastboot reboot recovery"

This command is not working giving no any response.
OK try boot the device without the SD card in. Then test and see if the volume buttons work. I have seen an issue similar to this where the SD card was defective and hboot got stuck in a loop when trying to scan it resulting in the buttons appearing not to work.

yeah - very unlikely hardware nor any useful error messages - if flashing PC49IMG.zip files does work there might be hope, though
I am using Stock Hboot not revolutionary. and i have tried PC49IMG.ZIP, my phone updates from this file but after restarting mobile nothing changes. I have only used my phone only one day it's very painful for me.

hm, but as scratch mentioned (if I'm correct I remember that, too) you have to confirm the installation of the PC49IMG.zip (with vol up? - not sure) - so if your volume keys don't work: how do you know the update did work?
My volume keys are perfect but not only working in fastboot n hboot menu. When i place PC49IMG.zip in my SD Card and start the phone by holding down volume key + power button it brings me to HBOOT menu where it stays for a while then starts reading for PC49IMG.zip. After reading it give me the option to " Press Volume up key for update & power button to reboot " then i press VOLUME UP button and it starts updating, after updating it says OK and it tells me to press power button to reboot. After reboot nothing hapens it comes to fastboot screen and still volume keys not working on this screen.
Same here
Hi. I just signed up to post here that SAME ISSUE is happening to me.
I can use volume keys to enter boot screen; but then I am not able to use them to move between the options.
I have an HTC DESIRE device.
Before happening that to me I DIDN'T:
- Upgraded Android OS
- Installed new programs
UPDATED: After sending this post; my device, suddenly, started to shake!!
I had to remove battery to make it stop!

Hi guys again,
This worked for me like charm. Check in Google:
Restarting or factory resetting your phone
I can't put HTML link because of stupid 'no link before 10 posts' policy. Sorry guys, one thing is to fight spam; but this is too much.
Check this section; where it explains how to perform reboot without the need of getting into boot screen:
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
Press and hold the VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN and END CALL/POWER buttons.
When you see a warning message on screen, press the VOLUME DOWN button to perform the factory reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
After factory reset is complete, press the VOLUME DOWN button to restart your phone.

Stuck on HTC logo, can't get into recovery

Hi guys,
I had stock 2.3 rom on my HTC Desire and I wanted to downgrade to stock 2.2. In order to do that I had to S-OFF my device and change the HBOOT version. I followed the instructions by alpharev.nl, but something went wrong.
Currently I can't get into recovery mode in order to install any ROM. When I try to select the RECOVERY button, the phone restarts and shows HTC logo.
When the phone is inserted to one of the USB ports it shows Fastboot USB or HBOOT USB PLUG, the computer recognises the driver.
This is what I get when enter volume down+power

u can click the PB99IMG 4ext recovery in my sig and follow instructions or extract the zip file then flash the recovery.img with fastboot commands.
put recovery.img in ur c:\ drive on ur computer then plug in ur phone so it says fastboot usb, then open fastboot command window and type
fastboot erase recovery
then to flash recovery type -
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
and if all ok u should be able to boot into recovery and flash a rom or restore nandroid etc

Do you have a custom recovery?
If you dont, you can find one here 4ext recovery
Download it and extract the .img file to ur adb/fastboot directory.
Rename the .img file to recovery.img
Boot your device into bootloader.
Connect your device to your PC and enter...
Code:
fastboot devices
(just to be sure.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once its done flashing, reboot your device into recovery.
Transfer a rom to ur sd card.
Flash it and flash inpiremod if not added to rom already.

Wait i think i am beginning to get you. Pls answer these questions
1. When you boot into bootloader and then select recovery, does it vibrate and gives you a black screen?
2. When you turn it off and connect it to a computer via usb, does the charging light come on and shows up as QHSUSB_DLOAD on your computer?
3. When you try flashing ruu, via placing the ***IMG.zip on your sdcard and boot to bootloader, does it detect the ruu, asks you weather you want to flash. And after pressing volume up for yes, its looks as if its flashing but after rebooting stays the same?
4. Or when you try to flash the system.img via fastboot, does it gets stuck flashing?
1) yes, it vibrates and then 7 vibrations (after 2~3 secs) and then a black screen, and hitting the power button wont reboot the phone
2) yes, and even when it is on and on black screen it gives it to me
3) yes
3) no, never tried it

Lol..you are in serious trouble.
You might be wondering how i knew all that.
Cause it happened to my old Desire HD(Still didnt know weather it was a DHD or Inspire 4G.
It turned out it was emmc problem.
You should think of getting a new device or getting a new motherboard as that was what i did.
I followed an unbrick thread here.
It never worked for me. But you could try.
I remember i installed a wrong QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers which kind of corrupted the bootloader.
So watch out what drivers you use. There might be a possiblity, your might work.
