I want to root my dhd.
When i am on the ace kit,
he asks me to downgrade, after the download and movement to the sdcard, my phone asks me to start the downgrade.
To select yes, I have to press the volume up button, but mine is broken. And no i cant fix it using parts from ebay.
Can i control it using another method, like the computer...?

If your volume rocker is broken then fix that....do not root it. If you get stuck then I will be hard to get back to a working state.

The silver button isnt broken, the button itself is broken, if i have to fix that, i have to buy parts for 30 dollar, and take apart my whole phone...
And no warranty left on it?

Yes, but do not try to root your device with hardware issues. If you get stuck in the splash screen, you won't be able to sort that out. This has been covered over and over again, so there is no need to open a new thread for this one.
so i will start with the main problem of the phone
the down volume is not working.
so i rooted the phone,flash recovery,and flashed rootbox rom
but the rom isnt going up and stuck on the animation screen
but now i cant go inside the recovery since if want to do it via the toolbox so i need the phone to be on,
and i cant do it the normal way- down+power because the down volume isnt working
its really important please help??
Help someone???
It's really important
I believe you have two solutions, to fix the volume key or to buy a jig. As I don't believe there is another way to boot into any of the helpful modes (recovery, bootloader, odin) without adb, a working OS, or the volume key(s).
hello guys and gals,
i have a little problem. my s2 power button recently broke, and after an unsuccessful attempt on fixing the matter, the company provided me with a simple work around solution which is to software remap the power button to one of the volume buttons.
but here comes the problem, me being careless, upon receiving the phone, i was too anxious and proceed to upgrade to stock jellybean 4.1.2. thus wiping the software remap. so i am stuck with a phone with no power button, unrooted and dont know what to do.
i did ODIN clockwork recovery mod on the phone but since i dont have a power button, i was unable to boot into recovery to install superuser and root the phone. the plan was to root the phone and install one of the roms and ask the developers on how to remap the keys in the rom.
also i am wondering if it is possible to ODIN a custom rom with UVLE1 radio in it so i can unlock it via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024514
but it seems like i have it backwards, in order to install custom rom and i would need to get my device rooted first.
i am stuck in a pickle that i have created for my self. so any ideas and suggestions would help. thanks guys and gals!
Hi
I have been wanting to speed up my HTC One M8 for some time now. Doing so i've heard installing a new OS would help, like for instance LineageOS. Unfortunately the volume buttons on my phone are broken due to me opening up the phone to fix certain parts. Everything else is working to its fullest, however the volume buttons seem to be beyond repair. I've looked at quite a few guides to flash an OS rom onto my phone, however all these seem to require me navigating with the volume buttons through the bootloader. Is it possible to either simulate a press on volume buttons perhaps through ADB, or completely install the new OS with the phone fully opened? If you have any ideas i'm open for suggestions, as the phone is starting to get quite slow, however i would appreciate an in-depth guide, as i've worked very little with ADB and such.
Any help is appreciated

No way to simulate a button press, that I know of. You don't have access to adb while in bootloader, anyway . You do have access to fastboot, but that is rather limited.
Getting the bootloader unlocked and flashing custom recovery TWRP with the phone open, is possible I suppose. Then after that, I guess you can conceivably boot TWRP and flash a ROM without the vol buttons. But I'd be really hesitant to mod the phone without working vol buttons. The requirement to navigate with the vol buttons in bootloader, as well as the button combo to force a reboot (power+vol up) or boot to bootloader (power+ vol down) are pretty crucial.
