It's in the title, my volume up button is dead.
I unfortunately need the volume up to flash the recovery in the boot loader and downgrade to a rootable rom.
Any idea how to do this?
Many thanks!

You can flash a signed ruu through fastboot from a pc.
thanks... Any link, I need to learn... Btw the phone is not rooted, hence the downgrade
Check out this link for the right ruu you want to use.
http://www.filecrop.com/ace-ruu-htc.html
Install HTC sync on pc. Boot phone into hboot and select fastboot then plug in phone and run ruu.
You don't need volume up
In bootloader just use the 4 keys bellow the screen:
The two first ones are up/down, back is back, the last one is validate.
Or, never use volume up but volume down to choose the option you want... (when you reach the last line it goes back to the first one).
... in fact I'm not sure to understand your problem...
If you were talking about vol down to enter boot loader, then restart to boot loader from your phone or use 'adb reboot bootloader'.
BIG SORRY: I read again... it's not rooted... just forget my answer
Hello,
i installed MIUI 2.2.17 and it's great.
But Miui hasnt got the feature to reboot into the Bootloader.
So, is there are option to boot into bootloader without fastboot?
On my Desire HD i can press Volume down and start the phone, so it will instantly boot into bootloader.
But with my Xperia Play this doesnt work.
Please help me, i dont know how to flash another rom now
Flash another kernel, perhaps Doomkernel, and your CWM Recovery should be there again.

bootloader?
fastboot - search
flashmode - back
recovery - vol down/up or back.
to flash new rom stock ftf etc. u need to boot in to flashmode with the back button while usb is connected (dont turn phone on just press and hold back then plug usb in.)
If you want access to Fastboot, just plug the previously switched off phone to a USB port while holding Search.

Wait wait wait, I think you've mistaken the bootloader with bootanimation.
Bootanimation is self explained, it's an animation, played during the booting process.
Bootloader is what boots your OS.
And I don't think you can change your Bootloader.. only unlock it.
Moreover, root does not give you a recovery, you need as of now, an unlocked bootloader to get a recovery.
I think you should give it some time (1-3min?) to confirm that the phone isn't in a state of bootloop, if it is in that state, reflash stock ROM with flashtool: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
and get this file to flash it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2779412

Flash Stock Rom. You will get out of bootloop.

Hi all,
On the screen where you are asked to confirm 'yes' that you want to unlock the bootloader with the power button... I click the power button (after scrolling to yes with volume up) and the device then locks up
Any advice please?
Thanks!
Is your OS booting OK?
Is TWRP there?
I'm fixing it for someone (I gave them some instructions for reset in recovery mode and then flashing new image if that didn't work but they couldn't quite manage to get it working)
Current status:
- OS is not booting (was getting stuck on Google logo, hence my instructions)
- Recovery now seems to be missing? Bootloader works fine, but if you boot to recovery mode it just shows an Android logo (lying down I think?) and there seems to be no recovery mode... Possibly related to the owner getting only partly through my instructions
Seems it should be fixable if I can get the bootloader unlocked, get a custom recovery on it and then flash a new image but I can't get the bootloader unlocked to do any of the above
Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks!
Freezing while unlocking is symptomatic of eMMC failure. If you wish to do more tests, please post it in the linked thread.
Thanks
I don't have more time to test it unfortunately and the owner is happy for me to use it for spare parts
When you try to enter to recovery mode, do you see the android guy with a phrase "No command." below it? If so press POWER then press and release VOL UP ONCE.
So I was trying to install TWRP on my phone. I have a Mac and was looking at some online guide. I had a pin set-up, and this is what I did:
1. Installed ADB and fast boot
2. Unlocked the boot loader on the phone
3. Check the terminal commands that the device is connected correctly
4. Had the ABD and TWRP img files on the phone.
5. Tried to fast boot TWRP.
What is happening now is that I'm stuck on a boot loop of a TWRP screen, the screen if flashing and won't load. I'm guessing to let the battery die out over night
I was looking at a few threads and some say that I should flash the factory image. Everyone is saying flash the stock file... However, I can't even get the phone to turn off or go back into bootload mode for my computer to recognize the phone.
Any tips?
Hold volume down and the power button down. Keep it held down might take sometime but you should get to the loader. boot twrpRC1 flash rc2 after getting in twrp. You could also start fresh by fishing factory once you get back to bootloader
Long press power button to shut it off
or press power button and vol down together and will take you to fatsboot mode and from there you can use volume button to seltect bootloader or recovery
I don't do pin's so I'm not familiar with the hangups involved with those and TWRP.
But I guess the first thing I'd do is remove the pin lock.
Then power down phone.
Wait 30 seconds!!!!!
Press power + volume down until phone powers on, then let go.
Should boot right into bootloader.
Fastboot boot twrp.
Install TWRP from the fastbooted TWRP.
I'm not familiar with the Mac process but on a PC we need to fastboot into TWRP from an image file on our computer first, and then flash the file on the phone.
I recommend keeping a copy of the boot signer on your device, flashing this fixes most of these types of issues I have found, especially with new rom upgrades etc.
Did you let the phone fully boot into the system after unlocking the bootloader, or did you immediately try and boot twrp?
I've had this problem twice before, both after a fastboot unlock, and I had to let it fully boot into the system before proceeding

Thank you you too. That was the problem, my patience. I didn't hold it down long enough for it to boot back into boot loader mode.

Hey I think that was it. I immediately tried to boot twrp without letting the system fully boot.
Thanks you all for the support. Go XDA!
The first question everyone should be asking is if OP was on the O Beta previously.. If that is the case Op needs to flash the factory image in both slots.
Put phone into the bootloader
Flash all bat
Put phone into the bootloader
fastboot --set-active=other
fastboot reboot bootloader
flash all bat
fastboot boot twrp
Even if OP wasnt on the O beta, this should fix the issue.
After successfully flashing Oreo, I am seeing the same flashing/looping TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-0-RC1).
Long press of Pwr restarted the phone.
Rinsed & repeat a few times.
Any thoughts to flash TWRP (temporarily)?
