This is perfect for those that love to frequently flash their roms without the fear of making their phone a paper weight.

funny, this can easily be done by:
with the phone off (remove battery if needed, and put it back in)
hold both volume up and volume down at the same time with your thumb (in the middle of the rocker), and then plug in the USB cable (while still holding the vUP+vDN). This is how I have always done it.
I personally, would never spend money on something that can be done natively without a silly little dongle.
The most useful one thought is:
holding the vUP + power button at the same time, for 5 seconds
this will force a reboot, even if your phone is locked up, in download mode, in recovery mode, etc.
THIS has saved me a couple of times... and it keeps you from having to remove the battery.
Once you get good at it, you can reset this way, and quickly hold both volume buttons, and insert the USB cable, and roll right into download mode again...
Those dongles are nothing special, other than shorting out custom pins that do the same thing as the vUP+vDN+insertUSB, once you master the hold, it's very easy to do. I wouldn't waste your money. IMHO.
I would rather spend the money on a good screen protector or body glove case...

You must not realize that a whole bunch of Captivates do not have the button combo functions enabled. Mine has soft bricked many times and none of the button tricks work at all. For those of us that have these Captivates, we couldn't flash very much without the jig. I made mine about four months ago and it is priceless.
I ordered one a few months ago just in case since I was flash new roms alot.
Actually had to use it last week for the first...worked great!!

Mine is a build 10.08 and I do not have the button combos either - at least with stock eclair 2.1 If i flash a custom rom depending on which rom i flash, I may or may not have the button fix enabled.... I just plug in my usb after rooting with z4root and using the 'reboot download' command from adb shell, I also have a homemade jig that i've had to use once....

'Plug into USB and hold both volume keys' works for me.
Bought one just in case. Hope I don't have to use it

I have not had to use one but they are a really great thing to save people. I have a 1010 captivate and hold the volume up and down while pluging in usb works everytime for download mode.
For $8 (found on Ebay) this is cheap insurance for those of us who like to flash their Cappy often, or who just like to tinker around with it and push it to its limits. I didn't hesitate to buy it.
USB Jigs are a lifesaver.
Dont ever want to go here but if i do, awesome!
Some Newer Captivates DO Have 3-button Feature
Not trying to start anything-- I'm just saying I have a 1012 Captivate and 3-button combo has worked from the beginning, through about 6 or 7 flashes, and is working still today.
That said...
As with so many other things in life, I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Found it easily on Bay_wolf's site and my peace-of-mind is in the mail!

"free stuff"??
Hey all, hopefully you can help me out there... I have major issues with the power button on my phone, its hypersenstive and sometimes sticks causing the phone to enter a bootloop. Normally we press on the button and feel the click when it presses down. Well on my phone I no longer need to feel that click, just resting my finger on the button will cause a down press register..
has anyone ever experience this and if so what did you do..
clearly I am out of warranty.. is it worth returning to stock and reseting the counters on it for a rma?

Probably a stupid question but I might as well say it. Is your phone bare or in a case? If its bare doing that I'd totally return to stock and get it fixed, that would drive me up the wall.

thanks for the reply... i turned this guy to stock and went to tmobile today .. i should be getting a new phone tuesday ... the power button is completely shot..
Hello there nice people of Desire HD's XDA Community,
I have a somehow strange problem regarding my phone. After around 3 years my Volume Down button has stopped working. In order to turn the vol down, i have to push the Up button and then slide the bar down.
This isn't much of a problem but the real problem is that, now, I cannot enter Recovery mode if something goes wrong with my ROM. Has any of you faced something like this in the past?
Thank you for your time
If you're running a custom ROM, it probably has an advanced power menu that will allow you to reboot directly into Recovery. Just hold the power button until the power menu shows up and see what options are available. If you're using 4EXT Recovery, its Control app has a power menu that allows you to reboot into Recovery as well. If you're running CWM or TWRP, perhaps their apps have a similar option.
If your phone is off you can try connecting it to your computer and using adb to boot directly into recovery,
adb reboot recovery
hey sharksfan7... Thank you for your answers. I am familiar with all of these functions.
I was asking for something in case of the phone does not boot and there is no PC available.
Or even if some user had the same problem before and can recommend me something he/she did. Like, replace the volume rocker (although I don't think a piece of plastic is the issue. More likely some "sensor" is fried/broken)
Again, thank you for your time
If the phone won't boot, you probably need a computer.
Hi there
My vol +/- plastic broke and fell out so when i need vol down + power i use toothpick , but just before it fell out completly i noticed button has 3 pads 2 for pressing buttons and one in middle for rocking action and that one fell out completly first and after that neither vol buttons using palstic button worked, so after a while it fell out completly and i discoverwd toothpick method.
So check if buttons work when you remove big plastic bar if they do see if pads are on place, biggest black is in middle, 2 smaller for pressing near end. Or just replace whole button.

Need help in buying a new volume button...
I'm searching on ebay for a new volume button, but can't seem to decide on which one can be the best... Don't seem that most are genuine (if any at all), but I don't expect that...
Can anyone help me on this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_s..._nkw=htc+desire+hd+volume+button&LH_PrefLoc=2
When I install the new one, does it going to stay firmly attached?!?
I'm asking this, cause on the last time that I dismantle the volume button, I don't know what I did, but I never got back the volume button firmly attached again as it used to be. Now it's very loosely and it very simple to loose it from the phone and that's why I'm buying a new one... to trying to fix the volume button to work and to get it firmly attached on the phone.
Hi there,
I've got the same problem here, but my volume buttons are gone..
I've ordered one from good old china (hehe).
I think you have to set a piece of elastic glue in the center of the button to keep it in place.
At least at my phone there is a little point of glue-like stuff there, very elastic.

Not arrived yet, will tell you then.
I think you have to organize the glue yourself..
Any news??
Yeah. Arrived this week, I just installed it. No glue delivered with the parts. And the parts aren't nearly the original, but I got two of them.
Because I'm using a cover, the volume keys didn't disappear until now.
Just took a long time to get them, next time I'm gonna spend 3-4 EUR more and order it from Germany...
Hello
I'm having an issue with the volume button too, so I'm using this thread.
I have only the down volume which is working, the up button doesn't respond whatever the ROM.
And now the button doesn't stand in place, I have to watch when i take it that the button volume stay still. (I may use some glue to fix as you wrote earlier)
Do you know what I have to change if the up is really down ?
I don't think my button is wrong, but maybe I'm wrong and there is some contact to chek before going further ?
Thank you for any help !
I'm completely bamboozled, and no technical expert when it comes to in-depth diagnosis - so bear with me here.
On Saturday evening, I dropped my Premium onto my sofa, not realising the TV remote was there - and it sounded like the 2 connected with some force. Since then it wont turn on, it wont charge, and it isn't recognised by my PC when I connect it. I took it to a local repair shop, who held onto it during today, who returned it hours later confirming that their tech had checked all the internal connections/screen etc, and they couldn't determine what was wrong with it.
I should note at this point that I'm aware that third-party repairs void warranties - however O2 informed me that as it was accidental damage and not a manufaturing fault, my warranty was void anyway. I also didn't take out insurance, as at the time finances were tight, and I'd had insurance on my 2 previous handsets (Z, and Z Ultra) and not claimed. Typical.
So i'm at a complete loss - I don't know what to do, and what makes this worse is that I haven't even had it 6 months, so I'm paying for a device I can't use. And I'm locked into a 24 month contract - double ouch.
XDA - if anyone can help me in any way whatsoever, I'd be so grateful.

Damn straight, got nothing here
Tried holding power and volume down for awhile to see if you can soft reset it? Also, I believe there is a hard reset button in the sim card bay as a last resort. Shouldn't be rendered useless after a light drop.
Try open up the flap where the sim card is in. There's a button in there. Try holding it down for 10 to 30 seconds.

Thanks all - tried all those suggestions before I had it looked at unfortunately. I've even tried the 2-minute hold-down of the button under the flap, to no avail

Hi,
for the z5p, try holding down power and vol+ in that order, the phone shoud vibrate 3 times, after that [if that worked] then let go of both buttons,
wait for the LED indicator to light up yellow/orange and press vol+ and that will get you to recovery
alternately try getting into fastboot, by doing the above but with the device plugged in to usb port on pc and keep the vol+ button pressed.
when the LED is blue, you're in fastboot
and from there ou can try running fastboot reboot
good luck

No joy I'm afraid
I've tried:
Power+VolUp
USB
USB+VolUp
USB+VolDown
Hidden reset button (both short and 2 mins)
Left plugged into a (Sony, not third-party) charger for 3/4 hours
It's completely unresponsive. No notification LED, no "connected" sound from my PC when I plug it in - nothing. The repair shop were convinced it wasn't a screen issue, and that the guy checked every connection and they were all fine. The only physical damage is beside the power button - i've attached a photo to this post.
I wouldn't have thought there'd be any point even sending it to Sony, as its not a manufacturing issue; they'd just send it right back. I've had terrible luck recently, and this is really the icing on the cake - so I'm grateful for any tips, etc
hmm, okay, i want to suggest that the drop knocked your battery loose but that's probably not it,
if you "jammed up" the power button, then you probably need to open the phone up and take a look. , most buttons are a combination of the bendy plastic stuff with an itty-bitty button beneath them, BUT this could also be, maybe, related to the fact of the fingerprint sensor in the power button ?
again, with button being jammed up, maybe something is touching/not touching where it should/shouldn't be ?
these are all the things i could think of. Hope it helps. I just got one of these, they definitely need a hard case.
You should see the bend test on youtube , xD
Good Luck :good:

Hmm, I can't try taking it apart as I don't have the tools (definately an option to try, though) - however, surely if it was just an issue of the power button not "touching" where it should, it would charge/be detected by a PC when connected? At least the notification light would illuminate..
That bend test is crazy, made me cringe
try hold volume down and then plug it into a computer. It should turn it into download mode which should have the LED be blue iirc. That's to see if it is actually unresponsive and dead. If that works you can try and flashing the stock firmware and see if that fixes the problem. If it doesn't then if there isn't any real damage it may be covered by warranty since they wouldn't know how it happened

It was a normal day, I just left my house with my Black Shark 3 fully charged, I used it for some messages and simple things when at 2 hours it turns off by itself and cannot be turned on, instead it vibrates every 15 seconds, does not react to the charger or show any information on the screen, just dead except for vibrating and vibrating. The recovery mode does not work, the key combination turn off + volume up or down is useless. Help!!! I never touched or modified it, it was completely updated to the default official versions, I learned to accept my Chinese version with Google complications and language support, I accepted it as it was KLE-A0 with JoyUi 12.5 and Android 11

then you need to pull out the battery connector, both of them, then do the test point method (you need to take out the back cover of your phone). i was facing the same problem like yours, that's how i bring the phone back to life.

the back cover is attached by using double sided tape, you just need to heating up the back cover with heat gun or hairdryer to soften the glue. just search on youtube, how to take off the back cover. you can PM me if you need help.

Do not pay anything to anyone trying to offer you help for $. Either your device is physically damaged (in which case it needs to go in for repair) or it can be fixed with some study and help.
Hello friends, after all, when I press and hold the volume down key, it seems to achieve a connection in PCSUITE, however, it asks me to connect in a normal way before
What do you think that in the end what muy BS3 have is that the board burned, I always thought that that heat could be taken well by the device after all it is Gaming with liquid cooling, right?
