get in Bootloader without Volume down - HTC Desire S

Hello,
is there a way to get in the bootloader without the Volume down key, it does not work anymore
There are some other post here and i tried "Quick boot", "ROM Manager" and "Terminal Emulator" but nothing works.
the problem is my phone is not ROOT and has S-ON.
Is there any other way?

Set settings....applications......development......USB debugging = on
Then instal adb onto your pc, plug the phone into usb and run the command 'adb reboot bootloader'

Thanks, it works.
please can you tell me where I can download the wright "download.zip" for my phone?
I want to downgrade my phone and get a other rom on it.

Look in the forum for guides, search for downgrade

[Q] Fastboot does nothing!

Hey,
i just wanted to flash the newest clockworkmod but my fastboot.exe does nothing.
Phone is in fastbootmode, please help
Windows 7 x64...but it worked the other day
Fastboot flash recovery "recovery".img where "recovery" stands for the numbers of the recovery in tools folder i believe.
Also if you run 2.3.4, recovery wil not stick after reboot unless you change something ( i believe the recovery.sh file), hope this helps!

i can flash the recovery fia ROMManager, and also can boot into it, but when i boot the phone into bootloader/fastboot mode i can't flash a new recovery, because when i hit enter after "fastboot" i get no output in cmd
If you don't get anything back on fastboot devices, then you either don't have the proper drivers installed, don't have the phone in fastboot mode, or don't have the phone connected via USB. Probably the first one.
Easiest way to get the fastboot drivers is to simply install PDA Net on your computer and follow the on screen prompts. It will automatically install the appropriate drivers for your device.

Check in device manager that the ADB Bootloader driver is installed.

That method works. I suggest do it again and follow the instructions more carefully.

Did you ever figure this out? I have installed PDA net, drivers, etc, and fastboot simply will not connect to my phone. Win7x64.

Need more info.
Did you install the "ADB Bootloader Interface" driver?
Did you boot the the phone into the bootloader before trying the fastboot command? (ie. UP + PWR)

and a restart adb and fastboot worked.

[Q] No recovery or rom, stuck in bootloop

I posted this before but it was dead so I'm reposting, sorry. I was in the process of rooting my brothers phone, I turned S-off and flashed updated firmware, however I forgot to flash a recovery. Now the phone is in a bootloop. I tried downloading 4ext recovery file PG58IMG to flash in bootloader. I added his cid number to the file but when I run bootloader it doesn't give me the option to install the file. The other method I was told to try involves using CMD to do it with the flashing tool. But since I can't start the phone, cmd doesn't recognize the device. Can somebody please help me? How can I install recovery on this device?
You could always go into fastboot manually and use the cmd prompt. Fastboot flash recovery **********.IMG I'm almost sure that's the proper command.

I tried doing that but nothing happened. cmd prompt said waiting for device but nothing happened. Do I have to have adb set up or what are the steps in order for me to do that?

this means you havent connected the phone properly to pc
the phone should show "fastboot usb" if connected to pc properly ..if it shows hboot and there is an option fastboot in the list . browse to fastboot using volume download ..then select fastboot using power ...then connect the device to pc ( at the end phone should show fastboot usb)
then try the command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(if you got PG58IMG.zip open it and copy the recovery.img to the folder where you got adb/fastboot )
Hi,
Take a look at this thread, it may be able to help you out, plus the tool is simple to use to install the recovery as well. Just follow the instructions.

Is the phone in bootloader/fastboot when you typed the fastboot command?
.. Precisely phone should say FASTBOOT USB if connected properly from bootloader. If it is saying HBOOT then press power button once (which then changes to FASTBOOT USB) and try the command again

adb does not work when in bootloader, only fastboot works then.
Disconnect the USB cable from phone & PC.
Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > From the list, uninstall all programs that begin with "HTC"
Install these drivers: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
Remove & reinsert your phones battery
Hold volume down + power to get to the botloader
Select fastboot & conenct the USB cable
Your phone should now say FASTBOOT USB
Type your fastboot commands

The frivers that come with htc sync can do the job for you. Just dont remove them along with htc sync.

[Q] Fastboot not working

hi..
my problem is, when i connect my CHACHA with ma PC in FASTBOOT mode, and trying to flash boot and system by CMD Promt the commands are " fastboot flash boot boot.img" and " fastboot flash system system.img".. but CMD window reply me "waiting for device". And I cant flash anything.
how can i solve it?
Are you sure you connect it properly?
You must first boot the phone in bootloader. To do so, go to settings>power>fastboot and untick that option. After that power off your phone.
Unplug your usb cable from the phone if it is still plugged. Start your phone pressing volume down and power buttons simultaneosly for about 5 seconds. After that, you will see the bootloader screen. It wil make a search and could say "wrong image", something like that but this is nothing important. After that, select fastboot using volume rocker buttons and tap power button to select your option. Now the phone will be in fastboot. Now all you have to do is to plug your usb cable first to the pc and later phone. The reading on the screen will change from fastboot to usb fast boot. After seeing it is "usb fastboot" you are good to go.
Still cant connect the phone.. thnks.

Do you have the drivers installed on your pc? Try installing HTC Sync Manager and it should also install the necessary drivers for connection.

Unable to detect phone... Can't use fastboot commands

Hi there,
I am rooted but wanted to install SuperCID so that I could s-off. It has been awhile since I have rooted and installed TWRP recovery but now after trying to install SuperCID I seem to have trouble executing fastboot commands, in bootloader I see 'Fastboot USB" after connecting to my primary USB ports (heck, I tried all 4 from my motherboard) but the commands do not seem to sync with my device (other commands seem to work such as me checking my CID [currently Rogers001]) so I do not know what happened...
Sorry for the potential lack of xda-vocabulary... I don't do this often.
TIA

Your computer need htcsync and ADB installed to run fastboot
Did you download and install both of this software to ur computer?
And you need to lead to the folder where you store fastboot and adb, running CMD in this folder.
You are using Roger HTC 1x as same as me, so i can help you a lot hahaha

Yes, I have the drivers (ADB/Fastboot) in a folder on C:\ and have pointed to that folder in cmd prompt (I should mention I have successfully leveraged the commands in the past).
However, I do not have HTC Sync installed so let me give that a shot...
Edit - after installing HTC Sync and connecting the phone (after unlocking the PIN, of course) - it could not connect to my device. Any advice/suggestions? This is probably going to tie into the same reason why I cannot connect via fastboot to my device.
Side note is that I am running CleanROM 6.5 if it makes any difference (stock kernel or whatever the roms come with).
