HELPPPPPP i got to the stage where it says press power button once to enter HBoot then press enter on your keyboard. It did that and then i pressed enter twice on the keyboard. then what was supposed to come up was the part where it is supposed to say your phone should now search for the PD98IMG.zip. but it never did. then the computer said that it could not recognize the android driver. now the command prompt box is stuck at *daemon started successfully* and is not doing anything and has not for the past 10 min. should i turn off the phone and start all over?

Got it! Now i have to figure out which custom rom to install.Any suggestions??Guess it wasn't that hard after all. Thank god i have a son that knows how to do it!!

You still have a PD98IMG.zip file on your SD card. As long as this is there, bootloader will always try to automatically update with this file through HBoot. You need to remove this file from the SD card and you'll be able to boot to recovery

[Q] Sensation won't boot :( Please help..Anyone???

Hi all,
I recently bought a used sensation from ebay and now it won't boot. I allready read a couple posts in this forum. Did the adb reboot and adb reboot bootloader and didn't work. So I think it's not rooted. What exactley happens is, the will not boot. It stays blank and the led lights too, but when plug it into my laptop\pc, it gets reconized and able to install the adb drivers to it. The led lights are then lit and pressing the power button kills it for a second and then restarts. Getting the same connection to my pc but no boot. I then installed adb tools trying to reboot the bootloader, but when i type in adb devices, I get nothing listed. So when i tried adb reboot i get error: no device found
Just moments ago i installed a new jdk and currently installing android sdk to make a proper connection with the device.
Any advice?? Pff

I think it phone has been completely wiped so there is no any OA Rom installed. Try booting in to recovery then see if its rooted then install any custom Rom. The most safest way is install RUU from ur PC which restore it to original.

still no luck
I've read the post noob guide (adb,sdk..), done every step, still it won't see my phone

Run RUU from PC because it phone is recognized by pc that's best way.

Just check which recovery have u got if clockwork then flash any custom Rom again. U need 2 use card reader to transfer rom

can I use one of these stock ruu's?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1228648

Ok so from what I understand is that even without being in bootloader or recovery. Just by being connected, I can install stock ruu to my phone and then everything else? I'm downloading one of the ruu now

Ok from what i read, I cannot get into the bootloader or recovery cause it's maybe hard bricked. Is there a fix for this?

Ok sorry for the late reply. Due to my "lovely" bandwidth, I finally found the stock rom for my device, version tmous 1.45.531.1. I ran the setup and everything went fine, until i got an error error 1105 or something that it's not compatible with my device. How can that be if it'.s not from another vendor. It says t mobile on top lol. Does this mean that i'm screwed?

Still haven't got it to boot. Only led is lit when plugged in charger or pc. The screen stays blank and unplugged it does nothing. Only if there was a way to get it in fastboot or just to see life in my device

Hold volume down plus power button. You will be in fastbboot .

first press and hold the vol - button then just press the power button without holding it, but keep holding the vol -
wait 10 seconds
release the vol - button
press power button again
now you should be in fastboot
on your computer in command prompt type fastboot devices and see if your computer recognizes the phone

[Q] HTC sensation can't enter recovery mode/ HBoot

Hi,
I had rooted my HTC sensation and had a custom ROM. For some reason i had to restore a nandroid backup. After completing the restore, i restart the phone but its stuck in htc splash screen.
I am not able to reach Recovery screen / HBOOT screen again. I tried Volume down + Power button, its not working ( maybe my vol key is bad ). Also, phone is not getting recognised by computer through USB cable to run commands from there.
Any suggestions as to what i should do next ??

Eventhough I press volume down + power together, it takes to me to the HTC splash screen. If i try the same by connecting it to the comp through usb cable, nothing happens. Just connected to comp and tried ABD command, it says <waiting for device>.
Thanks for taking time to reply.

I sorted it by doing
adb reboot recovery
Then wiping the cache in recovery. It rebooted and said "Android is upgrading" and then everything was back to normal.
I would have deleted the post but couldn't find the delete button.
EDIT - Sorry wrong thread. Please Delete.

what exactly did you do?

Phone stuck on blank black screen

I was using my phone and all of a sudden the screen just turned off. I tried pressing the power button to unlock but it wouldn't. I pulled the battery and rebooted. It went to the splash screen then the screen went blank again (screen is on but it's lit on a black screen). So I removed the battery and this time I was able to get to the home screen, but after a while, the screen would turn blank. Then I went to recovery and did a backup. During the backup, the screen went blank again. Now, everytime I boot the phone, it just goes to the same blank screen (no HTC boot up or anything). I pulled the battery and powered it up using a USB cable and it does the same thing. My orange charge light also doesn't pop up.

I just tried installing the androidsdk thing to get adb working. How do I double check that I installed the adb stuff correctly? I get to the adb devices command line in the command promt and it doesn't list my device after it says "List of devices attached". Assuming I did it correctly, my phone isn't being listed.

I downloaded those drivers, but I'm not sure how to install it.
I'm looking online and it seems that I need to access the phone via Device Manager and install the drivers from there, but my computer doesn't recognize my phone at all.

Best way go to HTC site download the lates HTC sync manager which is used for HTC one x ... Install that and you will be done

So I installed the HTC sync manager, did the adb, and it still doesn't list my device. Everytime I plug in my phone through USB (either with battery and no battery) it goes straight to the blank screen and that's it.

you can connect your HTC phone to your computer via USB cable, and use the command below, before that you need to install adb shell on Windows.
adb reboot bootloader

Also, you could enter Recovery mode through ROM Toolbox and if you're using TWRP, its touch, so you dont need hardware keys.

So you're stuck on booting and your hardware buttons dont work?
There is a way to get into the recovery in such a situation but that usually relies on the hardware buttons. What device do you have? What recovery?

Try this
Remove battery n reinsert it
Now connect the phone to charger.
Don't do anything keep the phone as it is for 5 -10 min.
It will automatically go to recovery

Im assuming you have android sdk installed
Connect your phone, locate adb using cmd prompt (change directory) (RUN AS ADMIN), type 'adb reboot recovery' (no quotes)

I will try this in the morning. What screen do I use the command at? Anytime?

Follow these fool-proof steps:
Locate your android sdk folders-> navigate to the folder where adb is located ->hold shift + right click on the folder containing adb and select ''open command window here'' ( this will automatically take care of pointing the directory to that location) -> 'adb reboot recovery' ENTER
This will automatically enter recovery. I suggest you restore your old backup .
As for your volume buttons, you should be able to fix it easily if you know a little bit of soldering and know-how.

ADB *may* work on the boot logo, but it certainly won't work as the phone is booting.

HTC Desire HD hard reset without volume buttons
I have htc desire hd and my volume buttons is broken ,my phone is much dispute and have lots of bugs i want to HARD RESET no factory reset only hard reset with rebote. Please help me how to reset my HTC DHD without volume buttons!!
!!sorry for my english!!

SOLVED! (At least for me)
To whom may still be interested, I found a way to get into recovery and subsequently wipe data/factory reset the HTC Inspire 4G/Desire HD without using the volume buttons.
Phone background: the phone that I used had the internal volume buttons broken. It was rooted and unlocked using the effen hack kit, then I flashed a custom ROM on it and I forgot to do a factory reset before I firstly boot up the phone with the new ROM. So it was stuck on the boot animation forever.
Steps for getting into recovery mode without volume buttons:
1. Take the battery off
2. Plug the phone to a wall charger for at least one or two minutes.
3. Put the battery back on along with the battery door and don't touch any buttons.
- The orange led on the front will light up and stay on for a few seconds before the phone automattically gets into recovery
Note: use the touch capacitive buttons to manipulate recovery:
- Home/Menu buttons to navigate up/down
- Back button to go back
- Search button to select
That's pretty much it. At this point you can do anything!
I hope this can help someone out there... If it helped you please hit the thanks button!

You can use adb commands to enter in recovery mode. Connect your android to PC. Enable adb debugging and open command prompt in PC.
Type "adb devices" without qoutes and enter then type "adb reboot recovery" and enter. These commands boot your android in recovery mode.
