Hello all,
my sensation's volume rocker is faulty. By pressing volume down and power on, it will not boot into boot loader thus cannot enter recovery.
I know i can use software to boot into it boot loader but what if I am getting bootloops and unable to boot into rom?
Any ADB commands to make the phone boot into bootloader straight?
I am planning to flash the factory RUU and go claim my warranty after i get my Galaxy nexus..

Possibly not unless your timing is amazing!
Are you stuck in bootloops now or is this hypothetical?
Please, tell if your volumne rocker is so broken that it cant even turn up/turn down volumne during normal use of phone?
If it's ok, thet I suggest method of booting into recovery which I use (and i had problems to boot before - thought it's vol. rocker):
1. press volume down button and hold it!
2. press power button for 2-3 seconds and then release, still holding the volumne down
3. phone boots into recovery after few seconds.
Hope it might help you.

Implying he can't control volume in a bootloop, I seriously hope this guy uses 4EXT touch, or else he needs to replace the rocker.
Can you flash zips from USB fastboot?

I understood that he can't enter recovery due to some volume button fault. When you stuck in bootloop only thing you can do is pull out the battery, no keys/buttons are usable - tested myself :/

not really hypothetical.. in fact i experienced it earlier..
my volume up/down seems to have a mind of his own and at times i will enter "safe mode"
thereafter it will auto reboot unless i am quick enough to do a factory wipe under settings... it will still boot into safe mode but wont auto reboot.
so after knocking a few times on the volume rocker, i am able to boot into normal mode but the volume rocker isnt working. Pressing it once, will cause to decrease the volume and switch to silent mode.

lol this sux man..
I dunno if HTC singapore will honor the warranty cause this is a hardware defect and nothing to do with any rom or unlock..
Even in bootloader mode, press up will cause it to go down or at times up. pressing down may or may not respond.
If you in a boot loop adb should see it for split couple seconds so with the phone connected I would keep trying to do adb reboot recovery

That's what I thought but it didn't happen when I tried it on mine.
From Fastboot, adb commands also work, provided vol - works while powering on. This sucks dude, sorry.

If you have CWM recovery installed (im not sure about other recoverys), you can connect your phone to your computer when it's off and you will have access to a limited adb provided by CWM. You can then use the command "adb reboot recovery" or "adb reboot bootloader" or whatever to do what you need to do.
Wipe all then cant boot into bootloader
Hi, i'm really sorry to bring back this post,
your fear had become my nightmare in reality.
The volume button was somehow (either physically spoil or is not capture click)
during booting process.
I have completely forgotten about it, and do complete wipe
(select wipe all except sdcard in touch recovery).
So, now the phone is completely clean (without rom)
and i'm unable to trigger bootloader/recovery via pwr/vol down button.
I have try take out battery,leave it for 10min and try press
all those button without casing/rocker;
press & hold vol down, den plug in battery;
and press both vol up & down then only pwr button.
The phone now (i assume) boot normally,
stop at HTC logo because there is no rom inside
(just like normal pc boot pass bios but cant find OS).
ironically, i live at singapore too... haha...
---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------
I read somewhere that the person use pin to press the button really hard
and it manage to go into bootloader
(but I cant find back that post now)
Searching in forum recommend me to peel off the
volume button cover n use pin to press on it directly
(which I do not dare )
So now I sent it to repair shop,
hopefully that person using either g-box or gmbox
(flash box start with G) and can push RUU inside.
God bless me.
p/s : Sorry I should post in Q&A...
Get the phone off. Pull the battery and re-insert. Open fastboot
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
And if you want to flash a ruu directly:
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
And then flash the ruu

Hi, can you tell me exactly step by step how to open fastboot?
pull out the battery, press vol down (??), reinsert?
fastboot devices go no response after booted and halt at htc logo.
Thank you very much.
Have you tried finding where the rocker lines up with the buttons on the phone, and just used the buttons without the back attached?

Just shut it down completely(hence battery pull ) and plug it in USB. Use google to get to know how to use fastboot and try with the commands I wrote above. simple as that

I have searched the forum but no luck on this one.
When I Press Power and Down Vol HTC One S just reboots - it does not go into Bootloader menu.
I cant take the battery out as suggested elsewhere because battery is non-removable.
Fast Boot is Off in the Power Menu.
Any suggestions ?

Go to terminal Emulator and type "su" and then "reboot download".
Thanks for this.
I'm not rooted so I cant do su in Terminal Emulator
Can I do ...
adb reboot download
from Mac instead ?
Can you explain what this does ?

Hi,
maybe you can use the ADB to get in the bootloader.
just look onto this HERE
the text there is english because i've only the german explaining and so i don' need to translate it.
EDIT: Finally got into bootloader by connecting phone to a PC with USB Debugging enabled and entering "adb reboot bootloader" in console.
Hi zobojoe, any luck with getting to the bootloader? I have HTC One S imported from Germany with T-Mobile branding and I want to get rid of that branding by flashing the stock ROM but can't get in to the bootloader same as you. What version of phone do you have?
Hi guys i've search the xda maybe this could help you to get the debranding off and get root acess on the phone i don't testing it because i've only the HTC sensation

Hey, thank's for trying to help! I've seen the thread you posted before - used it to get CWM and root but I've spent last 3 hours trying to get the stock ROM in my phone (I really hate the T-mobile branding) and nothing worked. What I did was I downloaded RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.53.401.2_Radio_0.15.31501 S.19_10.12.31501S.06L_release_251412_signed.exe and tried to flash that using RUU. It didn't let me. So I at least got the zip file from the exe (temp method) and tried to flash that in CWM but id didn't work either (probably because it was not signed). So I tried to extract the system.img and radio.img and pack it again in a new zip and sign it myself - didn't work either. Kinda stuck now. Help from someone familiar with packing ROMs would be highly appreciated. I can't be the only one trying to debrand my phone .
Maybe the bootloader is Not unlocked?

Yes it it. Before I unlocked it, the RUU update ended with error 170. After unlocking it RUU update started kinda flashing something, but then ended with black screen with HTC logo and then turned into RUU fail! red warning.
Hi Andrew SM
I too have been able to adb reboot into bootloader but can't understand why power + vol down just reboots the phone and not go into bootloader as it should ?
Is it the case that it is rebooting straight into recovery mode when I do power + vol down and then just boots ? - what should I normally expect to see when I boot into recovery mode ?

I don't think it is recovery - you would se a black screen with a phone icon in the midddle of it with stock recovery.
But I was able to get to bootloader with VOL DOWN + POWER finally after unlocking bootloader via htcdev.com (bootloader screen starts showing *** TAMPERED *** on the top, but that is normal). And you have to disable Fast boot in Settings -> Power of course.
Good luck!
Boot loader
Little late to the party, but I've found the best way to get into boot loader wiht any consistency is to hold the volume down and power button for five seconds or so, then let go of the power button (while holding volume down), then tapping the power button. Boot loader should pop up
Hope this helps!
Brilliant! Worked perfectly! Thanks very much.

I cannot enter the bootloader too, so I have follow your instruction and now I can enter inside bootloader. I was wondering why this was necessary.
Anyway I just have the massage : locked and NOT the TAMPERED advice.
Anyway I will wait to unlock my one s, I wanna see if a different unlock way from htcdev cames out because I do not wannt risk that the warranty could be void. Have anyone tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1578908 ?
Thanks a lot for this trick! This works immediatly!
Another easy way to get into boot loader every time is :
1. power off phone
2. hold the volume down button ( until boot menu open )
3. press power button for about 2-3 seconds then let go
new developer need 10 posts in general discussion sry
okay guys so surprisingly i havent seen anything on here about the button combo to get into bootloader on your one x (or recovery)
i think its just volume down and power ? but a lot of the time it just boots up like normal.
anything specific i can do to get it to work better?
also once i re lock my bootloader, there is no way for me to get the phone to boot up normally, like no matter what i do it just reboots into the bootloader what should i do?
(basically im trying to get from clean rom on 1.82.5 base , back to offical stock 1.73.5)

You have to hold vol down the entire time until it gets to the bootloader. Also, turn fastboot off.
Or you can always "adb reboot recovery" if you're at a computer

I've found that if you lock the bootloader while on a rom that uses an insecure boot.img like cleanrom does you'll see "security warning" on the bootloader screen and the phone won't boot to anything except the bootloader. It's ok though because you can install the ruu from there.

how do you disable fastboot? (or you mean while the phone is running normally in settings?)
i tried running the ruu from the bootloader and it wouldnt work though
is there a different rom i could flash, then be able to lock and flash back to stock 1.7?

from the bootloader screen choose fastboot and you should be able to install the RUU
This method of getting into the bootloader always works for me.
It involves counting so read it through first as you need to act quickly:
Hold down the power button untill you see the capacitive buttons start flashing.
After a few seconds they will stop flashing.
Hold the volume down button immediately.
Then hold the power button for around 3 seconds and release it, while still holding the volume up button.
Hold it until you boot into the bootloader screen.

Um what firmware r u on and that will get u into bootloader if you do it right...if you never updated to 2.20 you don't have to fiddle around with commands before flashing a Rom..easy way if you're rooted and have a recovery get goo manager and have it take u down to recovery from the reboot into recovery option
Go to Settings>Power-UNcheck the fastboot option......power off the phone and do the vol down then power again......it will work

Got it to go into recovery mode, but when trying to flash a Rom then it gets stuck at the red warning banner. I guess fur the sake of the threads title this is probably a closed issue and another thread needs to be made.

Power button on my HTC One S stopped working to I decided to fix it. I discharged the phone completely and opened the phone. I got to the switch and it fall apart from the motherboard so I soldered it in place. I dont know what could cause this, but now The phone doesnt want to boot. Its stuck on HTC logo with red warnings. Phone was running great on TrickDroid 9.1.0 before the discharge/opening. However Im able to enter bootloader. I can use fastboot usb ( I triend to flash different boot.img and recovery but it doesnt help. fastboot show flask OKAY but still, phone doesnt want to boot. When I choose recovery from hboot It will reboot into htc logo without warning, the status bar in the corner will pass 2 times and after 30sec it will just reboot into warning logo.
I have HBOOT 1.09.
Does anyone know what happend?
Discharging the phone is bad.This is a common issue, especially if youre using CWM.
If you are using CWM - change to TWRP.

Its not good that its still looping after using a RUU but try factory reset or you can try just unlocking the bootloader and trying a custom rom.
