Since HTC made the battery door awesome on the Inspire (Sarcasm) I guess I manhandled it a bit too much and it broke off. I actually didn't use that much force... but anyways. I have the warranty etc.. What do I need to do before taking it in to get it replaced? Its rooted and I cant navagate CWM without the rocker. I saw this "I had the same problem. My volume rocker broke when taking out the battery. Went to at& the store and told them that it wasn't my mistake. They asked me to go to at&t warranty center and the rep changed the phone for me." Posted in another but don't they look at the phones when you try to get them replaced? Any information would be helpful, thanks.
Ruu back to stock from computer. Also if u flash ext4 recovery someone posted that you can navigate in that recovery with the soft buttons on the phone
Edit: just tried and I can confirm in ext4 recovery home and menu move up and down back goes back a menu search makes a selection. Check out the ext4 recovery thread in desire hd development for install procedure

You can do that in the latest cwm also. No need to flash ext4 recovery

so ironic that today i traded a smartphone with a dude named andrew for his htc inspire 4g. and i get the phone home, and lo and behold the volume buttons don't work.
Has anyone seen the light at the top left solid or flashing? I can't seem to boot into recovery or bootloader with hardkeys. I have to use quickboot from the market, or and... Instead the "ir light" just goes nuts. The phone came s=on tmous.

On my sensation stock, it has to be for work, when and if I hit the back button and the home button in that order my phone takes a screen shot. Sometimes all I have to do is hit the home key. Help me. Make it stop.

Mine did that following the update too, I couldnt wok out how to turn it off. So I did quick reboot and it stopped.
I'm sure there is a setting somewhere for it, but I was too impatient to try and find it.
There's gotta be a fix

I also had this one, but after a reboot it stopped. Usualy you get this functionality by pressing Power+Home.
And as far as I know there is nothing that can be configured.
A lot of people seem to have this problem. It started happening on my GFs sensation and i dont know how to fix it. Any ideas? System restore maybe?
Hi,
I have a samsung galaxy s 4g. A green screen came and i removed the battery and reinserted but the phone doesn't respond at all. I t is completely unresponsive to any buttons. Please help me if any one had a similar problem and recovered from it.
Hi, what happened before the screen turned green? Were you installing a new ROM, already running a custom ROM, overclocking/underclocking, or anything?

You will have to odin it. It sounds like you will have a black screen when doing this. I so take battery out plug usb in to pc and phone put battery in and immediately hold the down volume button. This will get you into download mode and odin should recognize your phone. Flash your rom and you are good to go. I had a problem like this, I was using odin and my son unplugged it causing a complete black screen.
I've had my share of the black screen install.... Heart still drops until the progress bar pops up

So, I thought I knew what I was doing, but apparently not.
I tried flashing XYLON.
Now, the phone gets stuck on the boot animation. I've been trying to get it to work for the last 12 hours. It either gets stuck on the boot animation, or on the "Android is updating" screen. I can't even get into the hboot to boot into recovery.
Can anyone recommend a course of action to bring my phone back to life?

I'm still on 1.09
Its s-off.
I haven't touched my hboot since i rooted my phone.
Hold down power until lights flash 7-10 times. Simulates a battery pull. Then push volume down and press and hold power button for 4-5 seconds, then release power while still holding volume down.. should go to bootloader. Sounds like your not timing it correctly

Well, I'm still trying that. I've done it the way you''ve mentioned it here as well. Trying it again now. I've never had problems getting into my hboot before. :S
Something just seems wrong.
Once I get back home, I'm gonna pull the phone apart and check if something's wrong with my volume button. The Vol. up stopped working, but vol down was working just fine....
Let it boot as far as it will go and see if adb will recognize it. If it does adb reboot bootloader

I've tried that.I kept it for an hour, let it go as far ahead as it would. ADB does not see it.
I agree, if you cant get Into bootloader its a timing issue. Try holding the power buttons until the capacitive buttons blink 7 times or so, when the screen goes black let go of power and press and hold only volume until the bootloader comes up. This way is almost impossible to miss.

Seem like I've been missing the timing all day. :/ I'm gonna check my hardware this evening... lets see what happens after that.
I have heard of a case where someone had to physically disconnect the battery before they could get into bootloader but that's a *****. Since you're s-off you could try RUUing.

RUU doesn't work. I can't get RUU to detect my phone. It doesn't boot up. It's stuck at the boot logo. And even if I leave it connected to ruu while i'm trying to reboot, or trying to get into hboot, it still doesn't detect my phone.
Well... You could let the battery drain and then charge it for about 10 mins then unplug from power and press and hold power and volume.

Right back into the boot screen. I think I'mg onna give up on this now. :/
Sorry man, I'm out of ideas as well. Taking apart the phone and pulling the battery for a bit is the last option.
I encourage you to keep trying the traditional way before taking the phone apart.

Well, I've already pulled my phone apart once to replace my broken screen. Which is why I'm suspecting it could be a hardware problem. Somehow. *sigh*
And I'm in. Finally.
I let the phone's battery drain completely. I pulled apart the phone, and pressed down on the volume + power pins/buttons directly. And I got into the boot loader.
I'm currently restoring the backup of the rooted stock rom I always keep on my phone storage.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions and support.
I just saved myself a whole lot of money. ^_^
I think you can help me maybe but I'm not so experienced

So my situation is similar but my htc inc s is brand new from ebay china seller ( I live in Greece), is s-on, never messed up with, never rooted all factory. It worked great for few days and after the first OTA update I cant get into hboot, adb doesn't see the phone, always the updating symbol on screen.Tried battery pull, volume down + power in all the possible timing and combinations but yet nothing! Also I tried battery pull, volume up + power it vibrates 3 times orange lid is on and black screen (on the forums is said that this is diagnostic menu). So I think maybe this phone is a refurb and not new since the answer from HTC global support (after sending my IMEI and S/N) is that this phone is for Indonesian market and that its warranty expired year ago! Can you help me in some way guys...

Sorry, I am not familiar with your phone. If it is completely stock, you may be able to RUU while int he diagnostic menu or during updating screen. Best to post in the Htc inc s forums.
