Essentially, I can't figure out how to get into my bootloader easily without doing the old rip the battery out thing. My last AOSP ROM could do it simply from the power menu, and I'm trying to find an easier way of doing it now, but just can't find the option.
Tips?
Many thanks, XDA.

Hi,
Firstly,go to settings/power and make sure fastboot is unticked.
If you have ARHD,then you must have 4EXT.
Open the app and press "Power Menu".
This will give you a choice of things to do.
If you don't have 4EXT,then I suggest you get it.
Otherwise ,you can hold the power button,and it should give you the option to power down.
When you have done that,then power on whilst holding the "-" volume button,
and it should take you into bootloader.
Perfect!
Thanks a bunch Sir! Happy New Years to you!

New to Android, want to set up rooted stock ROM, S-OFF. Looking through the steps, trying to verify one step at a time. Saw a post of how to verify root status by booting to the HROOT screen. All directions say hold down PWR and VOLDN at the same time, but I keep comiing up in regular Android 2.2 mode. Tried every sequence of when to release each key (together, PWR first, VOLDN first); no difference. Sorry for such a simple, basic question.
Found the answer
Found it, so I'll leave here for someone else's search to find. The deal is that the start (PWR+VOLDN) has to be from a cold boot, so yank the battery, reinstall, the PWR+VOLDN and you get the HBOOT screen.
Geez, 45 views and nobody knew that?
thanks
thanks for leaving it, I had the same problem.. pulling the battery worked. I thought that shutting it down would have the same effect.. didn't.
I thank you as well
The Inspire was a little trickier to root than my HTC HT2 Leo, but so far it's been more stable. I really wanted to access HBOOT so I could update my radio, but I had completely forgotten how to get into HBOOT. Volume up + Power led to black screen and a flashing power led (IE nothing) and I started to panic. A quick soft reset and using your quick reminder allowed me to easily go directly into HBOOT and it automatically detected the update I wanted to add. Thanks much!
Hi, ive just got my Sensation and gagging to get well involved, im not new to htc's the only phone i will ever buy, my question is how do you boot into HBOOT.

Turn off fast booting in settings, turn off phone, turn on and hold down volume button.

thanks sort of figure it out just!
you know you should use the search button instead of just posting a new thread. maybe you just got your phone and you want to learn everything about it but you are making it harder to reach information. same question is replied several times before if you do a search which is very very easy you can find the answer. that is the point of forums. you search first and if you can not find the answer despite your search then you post a thread. this sensation forum is becoming useless because people are just posting without searching and it is becoming a garbage forum.
So, somehow I broke my power button on the HTC Sensation, I'm pretty sure it's a hardware issue and there's not much I can personally do other than see if I'm in warranty and/or send it back to HTC or the network provider where I got it from. However, in the mean time I realised after going over forums that I could remap one of my different buttons to be the power button instead. Awesome!
However, to install an application called Buttonremapper I need to S-Off and root my phone, and for this I need to know my HBOOT Version.
The Problem is, the only way I can now use my phone is if I get a text or a call, I put in my charger or connect it to my PC, which wakes it up. The only way I can turn it on or restart the phone is by taking out the battery. To sum up, is there any way I can find my HBOOT version without accessing the BIOS? Or if not, Is there any other way I can view my BIOS without rebooting using Volume and Power button.

Hi,
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Well, thanks for the quick response but I have no idea what that means, sorry. Can you explain it to me?

Hi,
It is a fastboot command which you can send from your pc to your phone when you are connected in ADB.
Look HERE
First of all, hello everybody on this community.
I'd been reading on internet how to fix this issue, but no clue at all.
My english is not so good so I'll try to be as clear as possible.
My mother gave me a HTC Inspired 4G, it has many apps and stuffs. It was working fine but it has a lot of apps that I wouldn't be using so (here comes the stupidest idea) I decided to reset it from insight (at that moment I didn't know about the power and volume shortcut).
After I did it, it reset itself then after everything seems normal, I unlocked the screen and then the whole screen turned to black. I could still see the time, date and also open the upper menu, but when I pressed Menu or any button, it just vibrate and nothing happens. Also I got a few errors like xxxx stopped working.
I can manage it to open Config menu, but I can't do much, I tryied to add my wifi connection but when I press the white space to put the password, then keyboard wont display. Also when it used to get stuck on Rethink Possible, but after plug in the cellphone to my laptop I could pass it. Now I removed the microsd and won't need to be plug it for that.
So right now, I can't download anything, I don't know how to fix it or return it the way it used to be.
I don't know anything about root and all those stuffs.
But I learn fast, so any link, tutorial, tips or guidance for these issues, I'll make good use of it.
What I have to do in order to make it work.
Thank you very much in advance.
Do you know what software version you are running, whether the phone is unlocked or rooted, or any other details?
It says 2.3.3 if that what you mean, also I don't know exactly what rooted means but if I'm not mistaken, my cellphone is rooted.
When I turned on by pressing volume and power buttons, I get some kind of options like fastboot and so on, also when I choose Recovery, I get something called Ace Hack Kit, I don't know what's for. I see many options but I can't figure it out which one would help me with this.
It's obvious something been done on this cellphone but I though since I reseted it, everything would be deleted.

Important: The Fast boot option in Settings > Power must not be selected.
Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then press and hold the POWER button.
Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then press the POWER button.
htc one max hard reset
but "The Fast boot option in Settings > Power must not be selected"
do a trick
first press and hold power button then do restart wile restarting hold the volume down button you will reach in to boot loader

Hi,
As far as I've ever known, a factory reset, or reflashing your stock or custom rom is the only way to get into the device now. That's exactly what the password is for, so no one can access your data. So any option to bypass the password involves wiping your data completely.
Sorry, but that's how it works by design.
Good luck!
Thank you. Thread closed.
