How do I find out?
Thanks!
You need to go in to your bootloader screen.
1. Shutdown phone (first disable fastboot from settings power menu)
2. Press Power and volume down until you see your screen powers on.
3. It will search for default (certified update package just wait until it stop)
4. On top of the screen you will see a line with Hboot 1.x.x.x.x this is your Hboot (bootloader) verison. (like Bios version on PC)
Be carefull on S-Off and rooting, read the guides in detail
Cheers
Remove your battery, reinsert battery. Hold down vol - button, push power button,, keep pressing vol - and let go of power button, h boot screen should show up in a few seconds.

Try to (exactly)
IF THE PHONE IS POWERED ON
1: remove the battery
2: keep BACK pressed while reinserting the battery (KEEPING BACK PRESSED)
3: wait some seconds (KEEP the keys pressed)
4: the phone should be in fastboot mode
IF THE PHONE IS POWERED OFF
1: press BACK, keep it pressed, press POWER, keep it pressed
2: wait some seconds (KEEP the keys pressed)
3: the phone should be in fastboot mode
If this is not working for you, maybe you flashed another SPL and/or another radio.
I've written a lot of posts recommending not to change the SPL because it seems 1.33.1008 or 1.33.1009 are the latest (at the time of writing) like the corresponding radios.
I don't have any image for this SPL or radio version and I don't know a method to recover from a bad SPL.
I hope your problem is not a hardware or SPL related and you'll be able to get fastboot mode.

In order to get into HBOOT / recovery, you normally power on the device while holding volume down. This doesn't seem to work for me, rather the phone boots up (and *really* fast, its almost as if its not booting at all). To get at HBOOT, I need to open the back, remove the battery, and I hit the power button for good measure (not sure if that is needed), then it works....
Anyone else experiencing this, or know a way around it?
S-OFF, rooted, CWM Recovery 4.0.0.9
hit the menu button and go into settings > power > and uncheck "Fast Boot"
Then, power down your phone and wait about 10 seconds, hold the volume down button and repower it and it will boot right into H-Boot.

Yeah, even with fastboot disabled i get impatient and hate waiting the 10 seconds. I tend to pull the battery anyways to save myself the wait lol
Why did HTC have to go and give a function a name that is already used by another Android utility anyways ha ha

If you have root, you can try Quick Boot from Android Market. Let you reboot into recovery mode without holding down volume down button.
or "adb reboot bootloader"
true ha ha ha
Or go into settings.......power........uncheck fastboot.....then turn off phone. Wait 10 sec. Hold down volume key and power and bam your in hboot. Enjoy.

I find the Quick Boot app for rooted users to be quite handy for booting into recovery or bootloader and I keep a shortcut for it on my homescreen. I don't use it to power off or restart though. It's something to look into if you find holding volume and power at the same time to be awkward and inconvenient.

Noob here.
Sorry for the cross post, posted in the worng section (Sensation Android Dev)
Was working through the S-Off, rooting procedure http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=16125286
Got as far as configuring the s-off mod, rebooted my device to install recovery v5.0.0.8, copied the file to the SD card, power down to hboot (vol -, power on) but it will not go to h-boot, just restarts everytime. Pulled battery, tried rebooting 15 different times, still will not go to h-boot.
Any ideas?

Hi,
On your phone,go to settings/power and have you unticked fastboot?
Restart the phone and when the screen turns black, hold the vol down button
Or remove the battery, insert and hold the vol down button
Then power on while holding that

And how's that supposed to help? His problem is most probably fastboot..

If the phone boots it will go into hboot. What you need to do is pull the battery out, wait 10 seconds. Put battery back in and first PRESS AND HOLD vol down button. Then keep the vol down pressed and at the same time press and hold power button.
You need to keep hold of the buttons for about 10 seconds

I want root my HTC Desire S. While finding out what steps needs to be done for rooting, I come to know that HBoot version is necessary.
I shut down my htc device. When I press volume down & power on button hboot screen is not coming at all & phone starts normally. I want to note down hboot version before starting to root. Any idea why hboot screen is not coming? If I have to see the hboot screen what needs to be done?
Check in settings->power whether "fast boot" is enabled. If it is, disable it. Then power off the phone and try volume down + power again.
also you can adb reboot bootloader

Thank you. I was able to see hboot screen & noted down hboot version also
The Fast Boot option enabled in power settings gave me exactly the same problem in the very early days when I had finally decided to mess with my device. A short, but useful thread for beginners.
If fastboot is enabled you can still enter Hboot if you take out the battery and then put the battery back in before holding down the volume button and the power button.

To get into bootloader hold vol- while holding the power button. Don't let go until it reboots. It will now be in bootloader

You need to let go of power, but keep holding vol down. If you don't let go of power, nothing will happen (except the phone shutting off).
The most surefire way (works in just about any situation) is to hold power and volume down. Don't let go of volume down until I say so later. The capacitive buttons will flash after about 5 seconds. Then the buttons will stop flashing, the screen will turn off (if it was on). After that, release the power button, but keep holding volume down until the white bootloader screen shows up.
If the screen turns on at all, the phone will always be able to go to bootloader. Failure to get into bootloader is almost always a matter of the user not performing the button sequence properly, rather than an issue with the phone.
