My sensation recently developed the touchscreen issue. It having previously been s-off/revolutioned/supercid, I thought it best to undo these things before sending it in for warranty. I ran the appropriate TMOUS RUU_***.exe, but now I cannot access the bootloader at all.
The vol down + power on does not work, it just boots normally.
Adb can't access the device (probably because I can't enable usb debugging).
I had previous changed the superCID back to stock, so that should be find, but the secureoem flag (whichever it is) i believe is still unset (or just not to 3).
Any suggestions?
Thanks XDA

Go into Settings -> Power and disable the Fastboot checkbox. That is what is preventing you from getting to HBOOT by holding the Volume Down/Power button. Also Under Settings -> Applications -> Development is the USB debugging checkbox.
Sorry, I should've been more specific. My touchscreen issue is that it's completely unresponsive. So I am unable to change any of the settings.
Is there a rom that would already have usb debugging and/or fastboot off enabled?

most new ones do have usb debug enabled, but not fastboot off...but if you cant access bootloader, how are you gonna flash another one?
EDIT* another alternative is to try something like this http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/org.l6n.remand/
there are several *better* variations of it on the market, you can use your pc mouse to control your fone, must have root tho
Try this:
- Disconnect your phone from USB.
- Plug off the battery and put it again.
- Hold Volume Down and Power button.
If that doesn't work, try flashing RUU again and repeat the above steps.
Good luck

Usb debug is not enable because adb can't access the device.

You are correct in this matter. My lapse was with the ruu's being able to flash the phone without fastboot or adb. Which brings up an important (somewhat off-topic) point...is anybody attempting to determine how the RUU's are able to communicate with the phone without using the adb?

- Disconnect your phone from USB.

This is unsuccessful. I have tried both builds of the RUU for tmo.

For me pulling the battery was always the way to enter the bootloader... It bypasses the set fastboot option.
As this is not working for you - is the volume down button broken as well?

hey guys
i have a HTC Sensation that is password locked, but the real problem is that it won't enter recovery mode.
the volume down key is working as i've tested it in a "sos call", the volume up doesn't work when the phone is turned, but that's not important as it's not needed.
is there any other way to get into recovery mode?
also, if i hold the up key with the power switch, it boots up in "safe mode"

did you try to pull out the battery?

then hold volume down + power button until it shows the bootloader screen

several times sir, even went as far as draining the battery inside the phone completely, trying it with another battery, leaving the battery out of the phone for a whole day...
are there no usb hacks or something like there is with the samsung android phones?

Are you on a stock rom? if you are the you would have to have un-ticked fastboot from the settings to be able to boot into the bootloader...
try to attach the device to a usb port of a laptop and see if the usb debugging symbol shows up in the status bar. if it does you can use the adb command adb reboot recovery to force a jump into the recovery.

also what do you know about the device? is it eu,uk,us? also what carrier is the device on? is it on ice cream sandwich or gingerbread? you may be able to run a RUU (rom update utility) on the device, updating the firmware and remove the lock that is currently on the device.
So, no bootloader? When you hit vol down + power it should land you in the bootloader screen, where you then select recovery. Have you tried with the cover, SD, and SIM removed from the phone?

you will need to talk to the owner of the phone, without that info your stuffed tbh. with fastboot enabled in the stock rom you cannot boot into bootloader. without the info like what carrier they are on you dont know what ruu to run to reset the device. without usb debugging you cannot use the pc to send commands as far a i am aware :/ assuming you have the correct htc drivers installed connect the device to the pc, open cmd in your adb directory and type in adb reboot bootloader and see if it responds. again without that info you've pretty much had it. you can try to flash ruu's from the pc at random in the hope that you find the correct firmware and cid, but without usb debugging on there is no guarantee that the ruu will even find it.

yeah, tried the adb reboot recovery, no dice. just error, no device connected.
the owner bought it 2nd hand, so he has no clue, i'm just going to return it. pity that htc doesn't have a "usb key" like samsung that forces "download mode" on the android devices

indeed so. but you cannot fault it as a security measure :silly:
I restored a backup with TWRP and am now stuck booting to the bootloader. To make things worse neither by volume buttons or my power button works so I can't get back to recovery.
The bootloader screen says Fastboot Mode at the top in red letters but I cannot gain usb access to reflash a new rom. Is there something I need to do to enable USB in the bootloader (I have the SDK and drivers installed on my PC already) or could my usb connection also be busted

Nothing comes up which makes me think the usb connection is busted as well. I dropped my phone a few weeks ago which ended up breaking my power and volume buttons but now that I think about it I haven't used the usb data connection since then so I wouldn't know if something happened to that too. I can still charge my phone though. adb/fastboot are set up correctly because I've used it from my PC before. When I'm in the bootloader and plug the usb it doesn't show up on my pc so I think the drop broke it too

Powering on with Power+VOL Down makes phone to enter in fastboot mode. Nothing wrong... What are you trying to do?
There's nothing wrong here. If you are talking about the FRP unlock, and you want it locked, go to developers settings and disable oem-unlocking. If you want to, you can now unlock your bootloader (factory reset), to get custom recovery, root your phone, etc. (Don't do this if you have no idea what I'm talking about!)

Hi,
I have a problem with my Motorola Moto G4. I bought it 2 months ago and unfortunately the power button broke and I am therefore not able to turn my phone on/off. That is in general not a problem since the device is still under warranty and I will get the phone repaired. The problem is that I want to backup my data, which I am not able to, before getting the device repaired since the workshop will reset the phone.
I am still able to unlock the phone but no apps or windows can be opened (taping on an app icon does not do anything). Dragging down the notification bar is possible and if connected via USB I can still see the status, unfortunately I am not able to change the setting from charging only to data connection. Since the power button is broken I am not able to reboot the device. I tried to use the adb tools to reboot but the device is not authorized and I would need to change that on the phone which I am not able to. Is there any way to reboot the phone or to access the data.
Any help would be really appreciated.
you might be able to try the commands for adb reboot recovery as the phone is booting up - iv never tried it but adb should be working after the moto splash screen (during the boot animation)
Im not sure if it needs authorisation during that stage but if you cant get into recovery and you cant change the usb connection/authorise adb then I cant see any other way to get the data off

with older samsung devices you could use a usb jig to get into download mode without the power button (its a usb cable with some pins crossed you can buy them for only £1 off amazon/ebay)
even if it did work you would still need the power button to select the option to restart phone so the answer is nothing that I can think of

I found some mechanisms to get the phone turned on and I will try them out. I guess I have nothing to lose.
The interesting thing is that my phone is still receiving messages and news (I see them in the notification bar), so things like that are still working but unfortunately new "widows" can't be opened.
Thank you for your help.
I was able to get the phone rebooted and after the restart everything works as it should.
This is what I did:
Drain the battery (using the flash light), once the battery is flat connect the phone to the PC
Press and hold the volume down button until the Fastboot menu appears
Download ADB tools (the minimal version with adb and fastboot is sufficient)
Install the Motorola driver on the PC (I was not aware that I need this, since connecting the phone without the driver being installed and running adb device results in the device being shown)
run fastboot reboot
Hello,
My Pixel 2 was unlocked bootloader and Rooted.
I went to Magisk app then pressed Uninstall All, then my phone rebooted and brick at boot (Screenshot "No command").
I tried to flash back to stock rom but computer cannot reconize the phone. (I supposed USB debugging was not turned on yet).
Please advise how I can make my Pixel 2 back to work?
Many thanks in advance.

Forget about ADB, you need Fastboot access. While in the bootloader interface, connect your phone, look for it in the Device Manager and change its driver to Android Bootloader Interface, or something of the sort. Next try "fastboot devices" on the command line, see if it detects your device.
I brought my phone to repair shop and they detected that the hard disk was dead.
Just bought another Pixel 2 to have more awesome photos
You have no fastboot I guess.
Boot into fastboot, plug in the usb cable and press and hold the volume down button for like 15 seconds, and then it will be recognized by the PC. You can flash back the stock rom after that.
Hey I had the same problem. Just stuck in bootloader mode. In my case, the boot slot changed itself from b to a (access denied, same as your problem). What I did:
1. I boot my phone, then it'll be in bootloader mode (same as the first picture when it says 'operation denied')
2. I kept pressing the power button, then my phone boot into bootloader again (bootloop). I kept holding my power button until my phone boot into right boot slot. (It took me 10 bootloop to boot into right boot slot, I just keep holding my power button when in the bootloader mode)
You can add my telegram : (@)Djkuns if you're confused. Hope I can help! Goodluck!
