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?

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 ??

power off phone ..then remove battery ..then reinsert it ..then press volume down + power together
that should take you to bootloader

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>.

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.

what exactly did you do?
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to flash a custom ROM, and every method requires me to unlock the bootloader via HTCdev, but I have two problems:
1) I can't boot into bootloader. When I hold power + volume-down, the phone boots into safe mode (I don't think that's normal right?). I took care of this by using adb and (adb reboot bootloader) to get into the bootloader.
2) When I'm in the bootloader, the power button (to make any selections) doesn't work. So I'm always stuck at the last screen that says "Unlock bootloader?" and I just have to select "yes" with the power button, but I simply can't!
Does anyone know how I can get the bootloader to work normally, or get my power button to work when I'm in fastboot?
Thanks in advance!

Read the screen on your phone , you got to use volume up or volume down button to select yes or no , i think volume up is for yes and than press power

Maybe certain fastboot commands may help a little, if the power button is damaged. (Maybe take off the back cover and see if you can then push it down properly..)

If I recall correctly,
vol down means moving down on the list

When you are in that screen that i showed you, what happens when you press Volume up , does it select on the scree YES unlock the bootloader (may avoid you warranty) ? If yes it select's than press power button to continue... and you will unlock you bootloader if not i don't have anything else on my mind :/

Volume up works but the power button doesnt
I'm also stuck in this screen for the past week, I got this phone for free, but now I want to root it but I'm stuck in this screen. I've tried several tools like kgs1992utility, hasoon2000's utility, even the windroid tool for htc sensation, but somehow I simply cannot get passed this screen. Is there any adb commands to replace the power button to select?
only the volume down button works, but it works in the opposite way(ex volume down actually takes you up not down) -__-
cant finish power button will not select yes
I am having the exact same problem the power button suddenly will not work on yes but does on no WIERD and very FRUSTRATING

Hi,
i've do an error with sense 5 rom flash.
I have rebooted the phone before flashing boot.img. I have try to put the one x in fastboot or recovery mode but nothing (this phone have very **** keys). After I shot down phone but now don't start. If I connect to charger red light works, same at PC. Windows recognize phone as HTC mtp devices and show me unity letter but i can't do nothing.
Battery 70%.
Any ideas?
Thank's

If you're phone is read as an mtp device that means it's not dead and the rom is loaded. The screen is black I take it and won't come on?
reboot to bootloader
either using adb (adb reboot bootloader)
or
manually (hold power button until capacitive buttons blink a bunch of times and the phone shuts off then let go of power and press and hold volume until bootloader comes on)
If you still can't see the screen while in bootloader, then your screen is dead.

Are you saying the buttons are actually not working properly?
MTP mode plays havoc with adb, and sometimes fastboot. Of course, if you are not able to access recovery, adb, or fastboot, you are in a very tough spot.
Is the device S-off or S-on?

Hi,
really need help...I was about to sold my old HTC Sensation XE, rooted and had viper 5.2.1 on it - deleted everything from SD card, but wanted to be sure nothing remained on my phone so I made factory reset (i think I shouldn't to this)..
Now when I turn phone On it loads HTC logo, then Viper logo and restarts and then again HTC, Viper restart...
When I hold power button + vol.down nothing happens (HTC->Viper and restart) + all the buttons are flashing...
Did I bricked my phone for good or is there a way how to reflash everything?
Thanks

U must be doing it wrong or ur volume button is dodgy. Ur phone being in a bootloop should not affect getting into bootloader once uv pulled the battery.
I'm sure it was working before (my girlfriend used it a never told me she is not available to lower the sound)
why are bottom buttons flashing while holding power + vol down?

I dunno, mine does that if im in a bootloop n i try a hard reset. Dont worry. The vol button mite work but she mite just need to give it an extra push, no harm in cleaning it coz the sensations r bad for dust getting in there. K pull the battery out for a min n put back in then press and hold vol down (hard) and press n hold power button. U should get to bootloader, keep trying till u do. As long as u pull the battery out u should get there at some point.
Sometimes I also have to pull the battery out twice to make it go into bootloader. Just make sure you have enough charge in the battery too.
no luck... tried it around 20 times and nothing... communication via fastboot is not working..
so I guess there is no other way how to enter recovery as vol down and power
?
