[Q] Boot Lopp + No Power Button - HTC One S

Hey guys, I just got the older HTC One S (C2) from my sister , to play a bit around.
I rooted, unlocked without any Problem, but after flashing it just stuck in a bootloop . And I can't even escape.
Unfortunately the power button is broken and i can barely turn it on by making contact with a pin needle (works rather badly)
ADB won't find my device, and even pressing all buttons the same time won't change a thing.
Anybody got an idea or some other plan?

Beg your sister for not doing to you what you did to her phone...
Your phone will power of by pressing "Power" for 10-15seconds. Is the button itself GONE? How? Once powered of press or in your case "jumper" the "power button + Vol down" at the same time. You can release power when display turns on and just keeping "Vol down" pressed will bring you into bootloader.
You will have to try getting to fastboot. Or pay 40€ for a bootloader repair. There is no other way :/ for
As you did not tell anything about S-OFF you're probably S-ON. So you may be forgot to flash the kernel???
If flashing means you flashed a custom rom. Bootloader is working in every case.
May you post some more infos?
-Firmware / HBoot
-Recovery version
-rom/KERNEL installed
-any other modifications?
Did you face any issiues while flashing?

[HELP] Bootloader Doesn't load

I have a problem whit my Raphael.
When I try to boot doesn't appers nothing...
I push Power + vol down + soft reset (soft reset try to hold down and just press) but the tricol screen doesn't appears!
Is there another way to send the phone in boot loader, maybe another combination of button or a cab file?
thanks so much
You shouldn't need the power button; you can always try holding volume down and then using a soft reset application. Or, shut the phone down (long press power and ok; pull the battery then put it back in; use xda shutdown...., there are many methods), then hold volume down and press power. It should go straight to bootloader. Make sure you hold volume down until the tricolor screen appears.
If none of that works, do a hard reset, then go into bootloader.
Thanx for your suggestions, but my phone doesn't load anyway...
I suppose is vol down button that not respons, maybe is broke, I don't know...
there's no a cab file for emulate the bootloader screen?
I think the only other way to get into bootloader is to do it over usb with an ruu (rom upgrader). I almost never flash that way, and couldn't really tell you how it works. Theres a file in the ruu's called enterbootloader.exe-I guess it sends the device into bootloader. There are some threads out there on hacking ruu's, you could try looking them up.
It sounds like your vol down button is effed. So, you can't hard reset, either?
Tnx, I solve the problem like you described.
I launched the RUU.exe and phone goes into bootloader automatically
Thanks for your suggestions

[Q] HTC HD2 won`t go in to bootloader mode

Dont go to Bootloader (Tricolor Menu)
Hello HD2 Experts,
yesterday i wanted to reboot my HTC HD2 with Android (SD) on it, and after this it hanging on the HTC logo and cant boot.
It goes only to the MAGLDR but not to the Bootloader ( Tricolor Menu) if i press VOLUME DOWN AND POWER...
I installed via USB FLasher on MAGLDR the Windows 7 Phone and it was working perfectly without problems (Just Wlan/Wifi dont working). After this i tried to install 5 different NAND Android on my HD2 and every of this is hanging on this HTC Logo!!! I am sure that all this 5 were working before this...
My Problems:
1. Cant install (NAND) Android.
2. Cant join to the BOOTLOADER (Tricolor).
3. On WIndows 7 PHone no WLAN working.
I'm done with the nerves!!! Can anybody help me?
Best Regards, Mike
Take bettery out, then try again
it will work
i tried EVERYTHING! but it dont help
and battery too!
Having the same problem I have SPL-3.03 HSPL & trying to downgrade to SPL 1.66 but won't go into Bootloader. I've tried an 8gb, 4gb & now 1gb card the file has been renamed in the root to LEOIMG.nbh but just get the tri colour screen. Pressing reset button & holding end call & Vol down button.
This is the right file to rename from HTC?
_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship
Make sure you are not using the USB cable while trying to enter bootloder. I had the same problem, but once unplugged the cable all was fine.
I'm having a similar problem. I reflashed to the HSPL, no problem. I then used the Rom UPdate Utility, which claimed it had updated my ROM to version 2 (although it took a fraction of the 10 minutes, it said it would). When I now try to boot the phone to install the rest, doesn't matter how much I hold the power key (which I presume is the 'make call' key, as that powers the phone up), it refuses to do anything other than boot to the O2 Welcome screen. I'm noticing the replies aren't very helpful here. Is this what I can expect for the whole forum? As a newbie, I can't make posts on the developers forums, so I can't ask them if they've come across this before. It seems a bit pants, to be honest!

Hi Junks,
The THREE COLOUR SCREEN is BOATLOADER this is FIRST BOOT LOADER or (I Think) the name is H-BOOT. You have to correct ROM for HTC HD2, but CMIIW the rom is for HTC HD2 T8585 (WWE) with 516 Internal Memory. Is your HD2 this Model or another Model famous with name TMOUS (T-Mobile Edition) with 1024 Internal Memory. I believed if you still have tricolor screen easier to "wake up" your phone.
Im haveing the same problems please someone help... a Demonoid invite code is all I have to offer here

HD2 is most great device. what is actually happened. You can brief here what you did before and some background of your HD2, what u have flashed in and what is inside, the more clue probably will help others to point a good thing for you. If No boot loader is the device totally "death"

I usely use SD Builds, but I installed DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113_DAF,HSPL4,MAGLDR_CWM_Recovery_v3.0.2.5_for_NexusHD2_135M,NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V2.7_NAND__Android-2.3.4__update and wifi-calling-htcleo-gb-20110518 ( Yes I just copy and paste the file names lol) My phone was working fine (Not sure about the bootloader/Tri-color screen) untill a few days ago my android build boots in safe mode I did find a remedy for that and thats by pressing and holding the Call (green), Home and Windows keys down while the android boots, but I have to do that all the time now. What I am trying to do is restore it back to fatory settings. Oh yeah BTW the AMAGLDR bootloader dose boot and also CWM Recovery but while In the aMAGLDR I have to hold the back key to press vol. up and down other wise it will keep moveing back to the top of the list (Its been like that sence I installed MAGLDR) but I do not have any problems with the vol up and down key in any other programs. I am also able to use USB Flasher and any other mode besides Windows Mobile Device Center (Windows 7). I also tried gettng into Sync by installing Windows phone 7 (witch installed fine with USB flash (Useing MAGLDR) but not luck with syncing back to WM6.

Hi. I've tried that combination of keys & I just get the O2 Welcome screen. The only key combination that works is when I power up with the Vol Down key held. I then get the tri-colour screen.
Don't know if this helps but.....
When I get the tri-colour screen, I have the following text:

[Q] HTC One S - Cannot get into Bootloader

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

Slight problem...i just rooted my phone (ATT) did all that good stuff...and then when and flashed cleanROM's rom....cleared all the cashe etc....and now it seems that all my phone does it show the HTC start up page and go black. if i hold the power button, the lights on the bottom flashes about 7-8 times and then goes to the HTC start up page again. can someone help me get my phone working again?

To get into bootloader hold vol- while holding the power button. Don't let go until it reboots. It will now be in bootloader

You need to let go of power, but keep holding vol down. If you don't let go of power, nothing will happen (except the phone shutting off).
The most surefire way (works in just about any situation) is to hold power and volume down. Don't let go of volume down until I say so later. The capacitive buttons will flash after about 5 seconds. Then the buttons will stop flashing, the screen will turn off (if it was on). After that, release the power button, but keep holding volume down until the white bootloader screen shows up.
If the screen turns on at all, the phone will always be able to go to bootloader. Failure to get into bootloader is almost always a matter of the user not performing the button sequence properly, rather than an issue with the phone.

[SOLVED][Q][HELP][HOW TO] Unable to bypass unauthorized device

HI there.
I'm really looking forward that someone may be able to unbrick my phone or at least navigate me how to turn back bootloader, using command-line, as this would solve the whole problem.(unauthorized device + Bootloop + hardpressed volume UP button, occuring problems on the other one as well) :crying::crying:
Device, OS, Settings status: HTC VILLE (S4), Fully rooted, CM11s stable, S-OFF, SU, CID 1111111 , TWRP 2.8.1.0 hboot 2.16, ADB: xxxxxxxxxxx unauthorized device :highfive:
Actual status: After i recovered clean copy of my CM11 from TWRP (was trying some custom roms, which i didn't fully met my expectations), i decided for the first time to use Titanium Backup Pro and restore all user and system apps, settings and data which i perfomred earlier, what found out not to be the smartest move. Either way, after approx 24h my phone went down, restarted itself, unfortunatelly only as far as Bootloop
Everything would be just fine if i could just get back into bootloader. Additional problem i mentioned before is my volume button. It works but not 100%, after my phone felt down on it and vol up is hard pressed and sometimes it jams. This leads us to another (minor? :crying problem that appeared during normal use of device. Namely due to this hardpressed VOL UP button sometimes i couldn't even turn off the screen with power button (which is perefecly working if )
Concluding i`ve stuck on Bootloop. Whenever trying to turn on the bootloader with multiple combinations of pressing vol + power button, phone just restarts again. (i did that many times before without any problems) . However i'm able to turn it off sometimes
My main problem for now is with unauthorized device under ADB so i can`t neither start recovery nor bootloader using command-prompt line.
Is there any chance to bypass this unauthorized status in ADB? or should i look after new handset ? Hope that someone will be able to help . I'm willing to give away my endless gratitude full support and even reasonable amount of gold stash

It turned out everything was fine, I was unable to start bootloader because of hardware malfunction, and being more specific, hard-pressed Vol Up Button was sending signals and because of that The combination of Vol Down Button + Power brought no results. Once I lifted gently Vol Up Button with thin sharp tool, i was able to start bootloader Hope, this information will save some stress in the future. I wasn't fully aware of, thinking that if Vol Down Button was perfectly fine bit hardpressed Vol UP button shouldn't occur malfunctioning of the other button
