Hello all! Here is a guide on how to enter recovery if you cant access it via volume down and power and if you cant boot into ROM.
[Note] I am doing this on a Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit computer.
Prerequisites:
Have HTC drivers installed
Have Android SDK To Run The Command
Tadaaa - you should be entering Recovery Now Congratulations
When you're phone is plugged into the USB port you can use the command: adb devices
To see off your phone is recognized.

well when your in your rom, youll realize that the volume down button does indeed work, but sometimes only, so if u keep on pressing volume down + power button for a long time, eventually youll get to the bootloader
but that might take a long time, so your method is the better option

So recently my phones been acting up. I had just installed the TEUV kernel from trinity and began noticing some irregularities.
1) the home button started to open the desk clock
2) the power button stopped turning off the screen
3) in bootloader, the up and down volume rocker doesn't work
So naturally i tried to wipe the rom and start new again. However, the phone won't boot up and most far i can go is bootloader. I cant do anything here because the volume rockers don't respond. I tried doing it manually throught ADB but the computer doesn't see the device.
any help guys? I'm really out of ideas so any would be great.

besides for the home button opening the deskclock, i experience everything else. but for me, its because my power button is broken. sometimes it partially works but acts like its stuck even though its not. in bootloader the volume keys dont work unless i flick the phone with my fingers right by the power button. then every so often the volume buttons work in bootloader. i use the twrp recovery btw, because it has on option to not use the power button to select.
anything else i can do?
my computer cant even recognize the phone for some reason.

also, try this.. pull your battery for two minutes, then put it back in and try booting. if it boot, you can boot into recovery via the terminal.
via terminal? is that command prompt? oh and what drivers do you think ill need? thanks man.

you can install the nexus s driver via pdanets website, thats the easy way http://www.junefabrics.com/android/index.php
download and install the free program(its a tethering app) onto you desktop/laptop, then open it and follow the onscreen instructions. it will install the right nexus s driver for you. you might have to uninstall the other driver, if you had it installed.
about the terminal, yea, its a command prompt right from your phone. if you dont have the terminal emulator installed, you can get a free one from the android market. open the terminal and type..
su(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)
i dont use adb at all, i use the terminal emulator instead. there are lots of cool things that you can use it for. for example, i flash/update my recovery through the terminal and sometimes also push boot.img through it to my phone too. plus lots of other stuff
Thanks Simms!
the one problem is I can't turn on my phone either. Its stuck on a bootloop. That is why i'm trying ADB. I'm trying to install PDAnet but its still not locating it. I'm going to try on another computer and check back in a bit.

The fastboot program you run in command line. Like ADB but for flashing img's real quick.
im not sure. maybe im not doing it right but on bootloader mode, under device manager, the phone doesn't show up so im guessing USB debugging doesnt work? thanks so much for the responses guys!
any more suggestions?

thats how i was the first time i saw it move after i knew the power button was broken now i can get it to move within a few minutes by flicking the back, with the cover removed, between the battery and speaker, when pressing on the volune keys.
Haha i got it to work! went right to recovery and quickly restored my last backup!
finally, the nexus is back. thanks everyone!!!

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?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using Forum Runner
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?

you can connect your HTC phone to your computer via USB cable, and use the command below, before that you need to install adb shell on Windows.
adb reboot bootloader
Also, you could enter Recovery mode through ROM Toolbox and if you're using TWRP, its touch, so you dont need hardware keys.

So you're stuck on booting and your hardware buttons dont work?
There is a way to get into the recovery in such a situation but that usually relies on the hardware buttons. What device do you have? What recovery?
Try this
Remove battery n reinsert it
Now connect the phone to charger.
Don't do anything keep the phone as it is for 5 -10 min.
It will automatically go to recovery

Follow these fool-proof steps:
Locate your android sdk folders-> navigate to the folder where adb is located ->hold shift + right click on the folder containing adb and select ''open command window here'' ( this will automatically take care of pointing the directory to that location) -> 'adb reboot recovery' ENTER
This will automatically enter recovery. I suggest you restore your old backup .
As for your volume buttons, you should be able to fix it easily if you know a little bit of soldering and know-how.

HTC Desire HD hard reset without volume buttons
I have htc desire hd and my volume buttons is broken ,my phone is much dispute and have lots of bugs i want to HARD RESET no factory reset only hard reset with rebote. Please help me how to reset my HTC DHD without volume buttons!!
!!sorry for my english!!
SOLVED! (At least for me)
To whom may still be interested, I found a way to get into recovery and subsequently wipe data/factory reset the HTC Inspire 4G/Desire HD without using the volume buttons.
Phone background: the phone that I used had the internal volume buttons broken. It was rooted and unlocked using the effen hack kit, then I flashed a custom ROM on it and I forgot to do a factory reset before I firstly boot up the phone with the new ROM. So it was stuck on the boot animation forever.
Steps for getting into recovery mode without volume buttons:
1. Take the battery off
2. Plug the phone to a wall charger for at least one or two minutes.
3. Put the battery back on along with the battery door and don't touch any buttons.
- The orange led on the front will light up and stay on for a few seconds before the phone automattically gets into recovery
Note: use the touch capacitive buttons to manipulate recovery:
- Home/Menu buttons to navigate up/down
- Back button to go back
- Search button to select
That's pretty much it. At this point you can do anything!
I hope this can help someone out there... If it helped you please hit the thanks button!

You can use adb commands to enter in recovery mode. Connect your android to PC. Enable adb debugging and open command prompt in PC.
Type "adb devices" without qoutes and enter then type "adb reboot recovery" and enter. These commands boot your android in recovery mode.
Hi,
I have a problem with my Nexus 5, it bootloop on the Google Logo
I try to put a little piece of paper behind the power button and also to click on the power button a lot of times during the boot but it still stuck..
What can I do to try fix it ?
Thanks in advance
is this the kind of bootloop where it loops because of a stuck power button or is it a software based bootloop?

that happened to my old ativ s as well, it was due to a broken power button (electrically stuck, not mechanically) the only solution for me was to solder a new power button on it. But I just used it as an excuse to get a new phone.

I haven't, it may be very hard depending on the phone model, I just removed it with pliers so I could boot it with a usb cable and I got all the data I needed from my phone.
Can you get your phone into recovery or fastboot mode?

So I try to unsolder the power button and now the phone didn't bootloop anymore. Now I'm waiting the new power button I ordered to see.
And to answer your question, I was not able to reach fastboot or the recovery

if you install gravitybox and xposed there should be an option to turn on the screen with the volume buttons (I'm not sure though, it might have been another module) so you could use that as a temporary solution.

with phone turned off, (you can remove the battery and re plug it), hold the volume down button and connect it to the wall charger(do not use PC,it will trigger lg download mode), then you will be able to go to fastboot.
Once there you can:
fastboot reboot to boot to normal OS
fastboot boot twrp so you can install a rom or any other mod

So I try to push volume down and connecting the charger. I reach the fastboot menu but I can't select "start" or something else because without power button I can't validate my choice..

as i said, you need a computer once you reach fastboot mode, to send the commands.
fastboot reboot - to boot into normal OS
fastboot boot twrp - to boot twrp

Oh i didn't understand, thanks a lot it's working
Now I'm just waiting my new power button
i had this **** sorry for swearing i thought its something with my ROM CM13 Nightly I tried the repair service they said that they changed the power button no data was deleted so its probably the button but some one had a guide how to get the phone out that **** using your PC and manual ADB commands ( No program command line only )
I need help with this issue
when this problem reached me it was a meter of replacing the power button itself (it's like stuck there) by the way my phone was still under warranty so they changed it for me

If that helped you dont forget to press the thank you button
i tried like this:
1. First of all turn off the device by holding the Power button.
2. Afterwards hold down the Volume Up and Volume Down button for a couple of seconds.
3. While holding these buttons press the Power button for a short while.
4. Release held keys when you see an Andoid image.
5. Then press the Camera button to enter Recovery Mode.
and noting. there is no android image.
and also when i press and hold power+ volume up the phone turn on and then after 2-3 sec the phone vibrate 3 time.
what is that 3 vibrations?
so how do i enter the recovery???
thanks!

Power down your device.
Press and hold POWER + VOLUME DOWN
After the Sony logo disappears, release the POWER button and continue to hold VOLUME DOWN for 3 seconds.
This will allow you to boot to recovery.

I may have given you incorrect steps and that's my fault. I was reading about a different device. My bad. Try this:
Power off your device.
Press and hold VOLUME UP + POWER at the same time.
Release all buttons when the Sony Xperia C3 screen flickers and in a few seconds the Recovery screen will appear.
You can also try this:
Reboot your phone, as it's rebooting, press volume down + power. You should then see the Android robot after restart, release buttons and press camera shutter.?

Okay, quick question. Have you installed a custom recovery? If not, your device was not shipped with a stock recovery in and therefore you will not be able to boot into recovery.

Do something for me first... Let's make sure your ADB fastboot is working properly.
If your device will boot normally, navigate to DEVELOPER OPTIONS and make sure you have enabled USB DEBUGGING.
Next, open a COMMAND PROMPT window and type:
adb devices
If the adb daemon is not running, you will see the COMMAND PROMPT say that it is starting the daemon on a certain port number.
Type this again:
adb devices
Your COMMAND PROMPT should return with a list of attached devices with your serial number.
Next, type this:
adb reboot bootloader
If it's working properly you should be booted into the bootloader and your LED should be a solid blue.
If you want to boot to the bootloader with the hard keys then do this:
Power off your device
Connect the USB cable to your PC
Press and hold POWER UP and plug in the USB cable to your device while still holding POWER UP.
This should boot you into the bootloader with a solid blue LED.
Let me know if these steps are working and post back with what you find

yes this works. i mean the volume up and usb cable let me go into bootloader. i see blue led and device is on debuging mode but i am unable to get into the device since i forgot the pass code.
this is why i want to get into recovery. i want to wipe data so the pass code will be removed.
beacuse of the pass code i cannot send adb commands through the lock screen.
anyway, there is somthing i can do to wipe data or flash a new rom or remove passcode through bootloader? (the black screen with the blue led)
