I'm rooted, unlocked, & ran the clock work recovery tool. My only question is I can not enter boatloader mode using the power button & volume down key. Phone just always just shuts off. Any suggestions ? Thnx

app called quickboot
To get to the bootloader, you have to hold the volume down button then power. Hold it til the bottom 3 buttons stop flashing. Then release the power button while still holding the vol down button.
Yea didnt want the app. Thanks just wasn't letting go of power button at proper time.

Turn off the phone.
Take out the battery for 1-2 seconds and put it back in.
Hold volume down while pressing the power button.
Phone should now boot into Hboot mode. You can tell what version of Hboot and whether or not it's secured or not by looking at the top line.
It looks like the hboot interface hasn't really changed since the original G1.
You can also just go menu settings power and turn off fastboot then power off normally and boot in to hboot normal

if you're already running a custom ROM like CyanogenMod or AOKP, then hold the power button, choose restart, and choose bootloader. once it boots up into the white screen with some text, use the volume keys to move up and down, and the power key to select, and select the first option. should take you to Hboot.
but honestly the best way to get right to hboot is completely shut the phone down (or pull batter), and hold the volume down, and WHILE STILL HOLDING, press the power button. never failed for me.

in adb run this command: adb reboot bootloader
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.

how do i get to the bootloader screen on this phone?? lol
Take the battery out, hold volume down and press power holding volume still
Pull out battery and replace. Then hold vol down button in and switch phone on. Otherwise go to Settings/Power and untick Fastboot. Then switch phone off, hold in vol down and switch on again.
ok, i had fastboot on i guess thats why i couldnt do it lol thanx
You don't need to pull the battery.

i cant find the same topic here on xda so i opend a new thread.
im using a nexus s i9023 with slim ics 3.5 and the air kernel 4.0. my power button doesnt work anymore. in the bootloader menu i also cant use the volume buttons. and when i insert the battery it starts without pushing any button. so i dont think its a hardware problem?! should i try to flash a stock rom with bootlader via odin? and where can i get one for europe? thanks

Seems a hardware issue to me. Your power button just died.

I have the same problem too, I cannot boot into recovery via the bootloader anymore, I have to use CM9's reboot into recovery option. My phone also automatically starts after inserting the battery.
To unlock the phone when the screen is off, I've remapped the keys using the key layout file. I've remapped the volume down button as the power button.
I'm also interested to know how to control the bootloader when our power button isn't functioning properly.

Friend has a HTC Sensation on T-Mobile and is having software problems. I suggested factory wiping and wiping cache in recovery.

go to boot loader ...
(power off phone ,remove battery,re insert it ,then hold volume down + power )
from there browse to recovery using vol up/down buttons and select recovery using power button
once you enter recovery ..you will have a red triangle ..if its stock ...then do a three finger salute (press vol up,down and power at once)..then you will get some options
Thank you sir!!
Also another question, is there a way to reboot (restart) the phone natively on stock? My friend is running the Official ICS OTA if that makes a difference. Or is turning off the phone and back on manually the only way? Lol.
