Hey
im trying to unlock my bootloader again (had to lock it because i did a OTA on unlocked stock firmware)
im currently on stock ics, if that has anything to say. but the problem is when trying to install the fastboot drivers in windows device management
as far as i have read, when going into fastboot, is powering of the device, press and hold the menu button and connect the usb cable to the phone then u will get a blue light, find the drivers and install
but my menu button does not work anymore, idk why but it wont work when running android either. i have also tried getting in fastboot mode by holding the back button, then i get a green light as usual.
is there any way to enter fastboot without holding the menu button, or do i need to order a new keypad board for my phone
Thanks, Joakim
EDIT!!!!: i dont know what i have been thinking about, as you could enter fastboot, by typing adb reboot bootloader in adb, sorry
good you found out... there's also an option in flashtool inside fastboot window called "reset to fastboot through ADB"... also works... obviously your phone but be turned on and connected to PC through ADB.
Good day!
After searching everywhere in the web and using different methods, I decided to create an account and ask you guys how to solve my problem
Basically, I have a HTC Desire HD phone, this is unlocked, rooted and using cm-Jellytime_42_R11 ROM. I decided to change ROM and go back to Android Revolution. What I did first was I deleted a couple of folders in my clockwork folder, I deleted both backup to free space. Afterwards, I was trying to connect my phone to my laptop but to no avail (it only charged) then I decided to just boot into recovery. After a couple of tries trying to access and going to bootloader/recovery mode it just wont push through. So I decided to normal boot, then the phone won't boot anymore. It just hanged in the Jellytime loading screen.
Note: I removed the battery a couple of too many times since I was trying to boot into recovery.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this problem
I didn't understand very well.
Can you now go to Hboot screen volume (-) + power button?
And where you get now stucked when you just power on phone?

What does it do when you try to go to hboot? Is it detected in fastboot? Is it detected in adb when you try to boot normally?

WHen it getts stuck in the roms boot animation, connect usb to the phone and try
Code:
adb devices
Most devices show up via adb during the boot animation.
If the device shows up there, enter
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
then go here and download 4ext recovery.
extract the .img file from the zip. Rename it to recovery.img and place it in your adb directory and enter this whiles in fastboot
Code:
fastboot devices
to make sure your device shows up
then
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
after it has successfully flashed reboot to recovery ad try and flash the rom u want.
hope i helped. Click on the thanks buttton.
You can ask if you still have problems.

I dont know if this is going to work with CWM but it works on TWRP and 4ext.
Remove the battery and re-insert it.
Now connect the usb to the device.
Dont press the power button.(leave it off)
After the the charging light comes on, the device should be discoverable by adb.
Now try
Code:
adb devices
It should be detected by adb.

btw, my computer really cant detect my phone. It doesnt make any sound when it is connected through USB. but other devices can be detected by my computer. I tried inserting the usb into a 2.0 and 3.0 usb.

Ok, so basically, the problem why i can't do the power button + vol (-) is that my volume buttons are broken. (sad) Second, the reason why my computer wasn't detecting my phone is that my phone's charging slot is dirty and I had to clean it with a needle to remove the dust, at the same time, the cable I was using was broken. When I was able to clean the slot and change cables, I then followed the steps by mickeyasamoah (thanks bro) with the adb procedures. Although it failed when it was in the flash recovery line (dunno why), I just proceeded into flashing a new ROM and voila, it worked.

Have a nice day.
Ahh my phone has had quite the past week on this CM12 Android 5.0 ROM...
I was just listening to music and checking social media on my phone when bam, it turns off.
I held the power button and it didn't turn on the first few times.
Then finally, it boots, but it won't get past the splash screen.
It's stuck in a bootloop and I can't get into the recovery. I can't factory reset it either.
I tried to go to fastboot and flash the recovery again, but my computer doesn't recognize my phone.
I have adb, fastboot, and all of the correct drivers installed and it won't do anything.
I tried flashing with "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" but it just said "<waiting for device>" even though my phone was connected and in fastboot mode.
I don't know what to do. I can't boot it, I can't get into recovery, I can't factory reset it, and I can't fastboot anything.
What should I do? Please I am open to ANY suggestions at this point. I can't deal with this constantly not having a phone crap.
Thanks, it'll be much appreciated.
Extra Info:
Device manager lists my phone as this: "Unknown USB Device (Device Failed Enumeration)"
Every time I go into fastboot, my computer displays this message: "USB device not recognized. The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it"

Make sure you aren't connected via usb to your computer when you attempt to force a reboot. It should be vol up and power until it reboots and then switch to vol down to enter hboot.

I can get into hboot and all that just fine. The phone won't boot, and I can't get into recovery is my problem. Oh and the fact that the computer doesn't recognize my phone in fastboot
Update: I just whipped out a really old computer running Windows XP and I installed the platform-tools and HTC One drivers on it. I hooked the phone up to the computer, and the drivers worked. I flashed TWRP and it flashed successfully according to fastboot, but it won't go into recovery still. What should I do now? I know I can RUU somehow (I'm not really sure how though), but I want to try and avoid that, if possible. Any suggestions? Thanks people!
EDIT: NVM it actually booted! What a success! This stuff is crazy!
Hi. My all side buttons the phone doesnt work any more, it was not a big problem until my battery run out...
Is there is any way to boot it up without using power button? for example with PC or something but of course without losing data??? Please help I need to boot my phone, at least once..
any one people? someone in here definitely should know something about it. xda-dev always do
Any way to do it through ABD?
Try plug it in usb and check if it connects to adb. If yes then type adb reboot. It will be booted to home screen. Else u can try by pressing the volume up and plugin the usb cable it will connect to fastboot then type fastboot boot system.
thanks for trying but it doesn't work...

@Sw1pe, if your phone is turned of, connect it to your computer while holding the volume up button. Blue led will glow on your device, your phone is connected in fastboot mode. Now open a command window and type "fastboot reboot" without the quotes and voila. Your computer must have adb and fastboot installed for this purpose. Similarly there is also a command for shutdown command but not for fastboot, but for adb. Hopefully this helps.....

Thanks mate thats a good method, I knew it but the problem is like I did mention in the first post, that all my off my side buttons doesn't work, including volume amd camera button... So im more unlucky than you though. But there is even bigger problem, I don't care that much about the phone, I could just send to incurance. But the problem is as I found out recently, I have very important files for me in phones memory... Thats where this situation makes me extremely unlucky... As those files supposed to be in my SD and I always thought they are until this happened... is there is any way to get those files out?? I got developer mode / usb debugging enabled on my phone. If I send it to incurance I will lose those files... :crying::crying:
@Sw1pe did you get your phone on in the end? I have the same problem
I searched and didn't see anything that relates to my specific problem.
I have a 1952-4 that I rooted per instructions on here (Magisk). I dropped it and broke the screen about 9 months ago and just fixed it today...and I can't remember my pattern. I'm up to 50 tries, so now I have to wait 120 seconds before it lets me try the next one.
Since the root process requires you to reboot recovery for root, doing that just sends it to the normal lock screen. When I hit Vol Down/Power, my options on the bootloader screen are:
-Start
-Restart Bootloader
-Recovery Mode (restarts it, sends to lockscreen)
-Power Off
-Factory Mode (restarts, sends to lockscreen)
-Barcodes
-BP Tools (restarts, back to lockscreen)
-QCOM (restarts, back to lockscreen)
-Bootloader Logs
-Switch Tools Mode (enables/disables "Tool Mode Config" option on the bootloader screen)
My computer beeps the "something USB has been plugged in" chime when I connect it, but it doesn't pull up in File Explorer (unless it's off, but just shows that a USB drive has been connected but won't pull up anything when I click on it), nor can I connect through ADB. It's not a cable/USB port issue either as ADB finds my Note 8 when I plug it in and check via "adb devices."
Can't wipe it via Find my Phone either because it's been 270 days since my account pinged the phone, so it just shows up as "Android" device.
Any suggestions on how to either get my computer/ADB to recognize it (with root) so I can just delete the lock database, or how I can factory reset it? Am I forgetting a reboot option?
Thanks in advance.

Window 10?
Yeah. It should remember this phone, since I used this computer to root it when I first got it a year and a half ago.
I used a different cable and got it to pick up the phone (as an unknown device) in Windows but NOT ADB, and the phone to realize it was connected (see last line on phone screen) but they're not talking.
If I boot it all the way up, either regular or recovery (root), it doesn't show at all on my computer.
Like I said, I'd be fine with wiping it, but can't even get to that option.
Install the moto drivers. If that doesn't work then make sure your using a usb2 port and not a usb3 port as its a known issue with moto phones.
I just ordered a new OEM cable.
Also ordered an OTG cable to see if I can force it to startup into a different mode that'll allow me to do something with it.
I'll update this thread once I'm able to test them out.
I got a new cable. My USB ports are not labeled, and my Moto drivers reinstalled.
After rebooting to the recovery screen, I plugged it in and apparently I have fastboot. I checked the bootloader logs and it says:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)
Fastboot Reason: Volume down key pressed
USB connected
Windows doesn't pick up anything connected by USB. I can't restart to get root because then adb doesn't pick up the phone either because of the screenlock preventing me from hitting ok to trust my computer.
I'm asking the following because I can't find answers: Can you delete the screen lock file with the only bridge being fastboot, not adb. How can I do a factory reset if rebooting to recovery is our normal way of turnin gon the device with root access? Or would reflashing something work?
command line commands are a perishable skill and it's been a couple years since I did this stuff.
Thanks in advance.
To recap, I either need to be able to get into the directory to delete the pattern lock, or factory reset the phone.
I've tried the pattern lock 79 times, which means I have to wait 300+ seconds between tries. I think an error is causing that though.
Fastboot is my only option at this point as far as using commands goes. Rebooting recovery just reboots it with root permissions, but neither adb or Windows 10 picks it up. Using a brand new factory cord and tried every USB port on my computer, even the USB-C to USB-C. But I can't find anywhere that shows how to get into the directory using fastboot.
In Device Manager, I've been getting an error with Android ADB Interface (The device cannot start; Code 10). I uninstalled, reinstalled various drivers, killed adb.exe, etc., Still happening.
HOWEVER, Motorola ADB Interface is working just fine and goes away when I unplug my phone, returns when I plug it in. Only when it's in recovery/fastboot mode though.
I got into Safe Mode, but computer won't pick it up.
I can't get into Field Test Mode. I did reboot it into something else. I don't know what, but the screen was off and the home button was illuminated. EDL mode? I don't know. Neither my computer or adb read that anything was attached, and i can't figure out how I did it.
I also tried sideloading some pattern lock removers, but apparently you can't do that in fastboot.
Thoughts?
Just to close this out with a solution: I had forgotten that in order to get to the recovery menu, you have to hold the buttons when you reboot recovery. Didn't realize that until I was rooting my Moto e6.
Factory reset complete. No more pattern lock. Though since I've now tried rooting it 4 times with 4 different images and have not succeeded even though I had root before all this, I wish I could have realized the above and possibly gotten in and deleted the gesture.
Lesson learned.
Hold what buttons? I'm afraid I'm in same spot.

Just found this. Timing is everything apparently.
Press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously until the Android Recovery screen appears.
Press the Volume Down button to navigate to Recovery.
With Recovery displayed, press the Power button.
When you see the 'Droid' with 'No Command,' hold Power and tap Volume Up just once and immediately release both buttons.
Scroll to wipe data/factory reset by pressing the Volume Down button
Press the Power button.
Scroll to YES by pressing the Volume Down button.
Press the Power button.
The 'phone will wipe all contents.
Press the Power button.
The 'phone will now reboot to the initial setup screen.
