Hello everyone!
I can't enter recovery. I tried every button combination with the phone turned off, but every time it just starts up normally. I tried a reboot app to boot into recovery but the only thing I got was a droid with a red triangle and "no command" sentence, after that I had to pull out the battery to restart. I want to hard reset because I will install genesys 1.2. Is hard reset the same as going into settings or hidden menu and doing a factory reset?

Nevermind, I was dumb and didn't hold the right buttons. The thread can be closed now.

So, I have rooted Desire that worked perfectly for the past 4 months. Not a single problem, until tonight. First it starts powering up screen on it's own while locked which I try to fix by reseting. When it booted up it started vibrating like mad. Turns out that volume down button is now stuck. Try to fix it by reseting, again. Now it boots up to safe mode. After some googleing it seems that this sort of thing happens some times so I figure I'll try factory reset and see how that goes. This doesn't help at all, but rather f*** it up completely.
Now it keeps booting in recovery mode but none of my buttons are responsive. It just loads the menu and no matter what I do it won't select any of the options. I've tried searching google and this forum for help but I'm coming up short. ANY advice is welcome, please help.
Put it into bootloader (volume down and power) then flash a ruu

It seems to be that some of your hardware keys are stuck.

Yes, it does seem that the hardware keys are stuck but it's realy weird since I can turn on the phone with power button but I can't use it to select anything on the menu.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Just done Factory Data Reset and its not moved off rebooting for like 15/20 mins... does it normally take this long ? the only other thing i can get on me screen is the lockscreen, is there away of rebooting phone without power button.. and ill do a factory reset...

What ROM are you using?
To reboot:
You hold down the power button until the soft key lights start flashing, which will force a reboot.
Stock Rom, it was alright just took a very long time for factory data reset

Hello! Right now, my brother's in the process of doing a hard reset on his droid incredible. He noticed that he kept on receiving the infamous low on disc space/memory icon on his screen and wanted to do a hard reset to start fresh. However, after he selected the factory reset option he noticed thateverything remained on the phone, messages, apps and all. Nothing got erased! We've tried resetting the phone countless times only to realize that everything remains the same, and the low memory message still appears. We've made minor progress after contacting HTC and having them guide us through a factory reset but hit a roadblock once we discovered that the previous owner of the phone had installed Clockwork Mod Recovery. The rep said that this is completely out of HTC's scope and that we "must disable Clockwork Mod Recovery and have the phone flashed". We had plans on giving the phone away to a friend but now we're completely stumped and clueless as to what we should do to erase the content and set the phone back to its original settings. Any advice?

Sorry for the late reply. No I haven't tried it yet.What steps would we need to take in order to do that? Thanks!
with phone powered off, hold -volume button and hit power button and release. you should boot into a white screen-this is HBOOT. there should be a menu item called recovery. select that and hit power button, that should boot you into CWM.
there should be a menu item for factory reset/wipe cache.
Hi, first off I don't really know what all the terms mean , but my phone is rooted, and has a ROM? installed, I'm not 100% sure on what it is as I've forgotten, but I think it is Cyanogenmod?
The past few weeks my phone has been restarting randomly and freezing every now and again. This morning when I tried to unlock it the touchscreen wasn't responding, and this had happened before. I took the battery out and tried to turn it back on. I see HTC splash screen pop up, and that's all I get. I've tried turning it on whilst plugged in charging, and still nothing. It's all fully charged. I've tried turning it on whilst holding the volume down button and it vibrates 3 times and still nothing.
Thanks for any help!
can you still go to bootloader then recovery?
Hold the power button and volume up to get into bootloader, then select recovery. Try to clear cache and davik cache then restart. If its wont work u should freshly reinstall.
I was in your case when using Jellytime R11...my phone started and freezed at boot screen. No matter how manytimes I removed the battery n restarted the phone just stood still. All I can do is go to recovery...

I've just tried that, and unfortunately it didn't work. When I do that the phone vibrates 3 times, and the orange LED flashes, and has been flashing for around 5 minutes now. The screen also doesn't turn on at any point.
Thanks for the help!
U press Volume Up or Down?

Thanks, I've looked around and can't find a tutorial on how to do that on a Desire HD. Do you know of one, or a good generic tutorial I could follow?
Thanks again.
Take the Sim SDCard Out as well as battery. Wait a few minutes then only replace the battery back and see if it fully boots If it does then power down the phone pull the battery wait again a few minutes then boot with the VOL DOWN key and then factory reset it.
With this done its one more battery pull and boot again it should be fine after that.

Unfortunately that didn't work. I'm not sure if this is of any help, but when booting normally, almost immediately after the white HTC splash screen, the screen flashes blue for half a second.
Thanks for the help!
No clue how I've done it, but I've been pressing button for the last 10 minutes and managed to get in to what I believe is the bootloader? It's a white screen with Fastboot, Recovery, Factory Reset etc and the options. What shall I do from here?
I wiped the cache, and booted and then it froze saying "Android is upgrading, starting apps"
This step takes a while. But if you could get into the bootloader which is Fastboot Recovery and Factory reset you could of choose Factory Reset to see if that fixed the issue.
yup, since you can now access your bootloader, from the recovery just flash your rom, remember to do full wipe first, data, cache and dalvik cache...
I'm trying to clear my caches because my battery is doing some funny stuff every since I got the tablet. Just constantly being used up, even over night it drops 25% when I'm not doing anything. I've only downloaded a few apps but it says "Android OS" is what's taking 50% of the battery.
So I get into Recovery by turning off the device, holding power + Vol. down and then I select Recovery mode.
But all I get is an image of the Android with it's belly open and it says "No command."
How do I get to where I can run everything?
Please help!
Thanks!
Is your bootloader unlocked and have you rooted the device yet? The only way I know how to clear the caches through recovery is by doing that first and installing a custom recovery like twrp. If you aren't rooted yet and don't want to root the device I would suggest doing a factory reset first and see if that helps. To do a factory reset go to settings --> backup & reset.

You can do a factory reset like the previous poster mentioned.
If you want to get the stock recovery menu from the android fallen screen, press volUp.
Here is your answer if you cannot get in to the os. The commands will not show up unless you do a two button combo. You can get in to stock recovery by doing the following.
When powered off
Hold power+vol down
When bootloader screen comes up
Use volume down to select recovery and then hit the power button
It will then go in to recovery but only show an android with exclamation point.
From here to see command you have to press power + the middle of the volume button (There is a middle button here) Saw the button in the teardown.
From here you can do a factory reset of the device also.

Yeah this didn't work. I know I got into recovery once without being rooted, but that was on a different device.
I did a factory reset so we'll see if that helps. But it isn't looking like it....
No apps downloaded, only on wifi, brightness is all the way down, turned off location services and the "Android OS" is still taking the battery. It's at 96% after an hour and a half of literally not using it at all...
When you get to the screen with the android and !, press and hold the power button and then press the vol up. No other combination will work. You can not press the buttons at the same time.
