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
Hi Mates,
I tried to root my HTC Desire HD - but something seem to have gone wrong?!
I downloaded the Advanced Ace Hack Kit and read the effen manual guide.
Then I started the "hack-ace.cmd" as Administrator on Windows 7 x64.
I entered the key from the txt file and proceeded with selecting 1 and pressed Enter key.
Then the program told me that I needed to downgrade, so I confirmed with "y" and then it asked if I wanted to download some UUR or what it was called, so I confirmed again with "y".
After some time it asked me to reboot, but after startup I only see a white screen now, with H-BOOT-0.85.0024 - Radio-26.09.04.12_M2 - bot my vol up and vol down keys + power button on the phone does not respond now... so I see BLUE highlighted HBOOT and FASTBOOT on my screen now, but I am not able to select with VOL DOWN to go to Recovery or any other menu items, af the VOL and POWER buttons are frozed.
If I remove the battery, then I am able to press and hold down VOL DOWN and POWER together, in order to enter this menu again... but no reaction after this.
What do I do to recover my phone now, as I wanted to root it, and after that flash it with a new file?!
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Osukido

Hi,
I have an Samsung Nexus S [not rooted] with a broken power button (stopped working after I updated to ICS). So for a couple of months, I was using the "pull batter" trick to power on and off my phone.
Now I am stuck in a bootloop and I can't seem to get out of it, despite howmany time i try to pull out the battery.
I manage to enter into the fastoboot mode screen, but then my volume buttons won't work and I can't scroll up and down the menu.
Is there a way out? I am really a noob at this and haven't rooted an android phone before. Please help!
Thanks
i think the best think is to unlock the bootloader and doing that it will prompt to you asking for erasing all your phone (sdcard included), maybe this hard factory reset will help you bcz like that ur phone will be back to stock ics.
to unlock your bootloader (wich is the first step to root, if u want to) do this:
download this (the entire nexusrootics folder): https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7O2O1p4iWXTWWxha0pUcXNud2s
put the folder on the root of your hard drive of your pc (for example mine is C:\)
then install the drivers (wich are in the downloaded folder), so plug your phone go to driver management and choose to select the fiolder and select the usb_driver and choose ADB... (first one)
then click windows button+ R and type "cmd" (no "")
now type "cd.." (no "") to go back to the root of your hard drive and type cd (name of the downloaded folder)
now type "adb devices"; if a number appears it means that your drivers are well installed
after that, type "fastboot oem unlock"
on your nexus a question will appear to ask your if your are sure to erase all your content, use the volume lockers to say yes. (if your volume buttons dont work here i think u are stuck)
NOW YOUR PHONE SHOULD BE BACK TO STOCK, WITH THE BOOTLAODER UNLOCK BUT NOT ROOTED so it's safe for warranty issues
please click the thanks button

to lock it back just type "fastboot oem lock"
I got the same problem, yesterday the power button was not functioning properly. And after a couple of battery pulls, I can't start the phone unless I put a usb cable in. The phone starts but it is stuck in bootscreen. If I hold volume up button and connect usb cable + put the battery back in I can get into bootloader (Rooted and unlocked) but I can't navigate in boot screen with volume up or down, and pressing power button does nothing, which btw is clicking when pressed as usual.
I think the powerbutton is continuously pressed, and thats why I can't navigate or execute any commands in bootloader.
Any help to this problem would be appriciated, since I'm working abroad and using this phone as gps here and have no backup phone at the moment.

I got the exact same problem.
Can't backup even through clockwork Rom Manager mod, because when in recovery the power button might be interfering with the scripted backup....
Well mine has weird issues
Every so often if I click the power button it doesn't do Anything or brings up shutdown menu

I'm in the exact same boat. What the hell did Samsung make the power button with??? Mine died on me barely 6 months after purchase of the phone. It's pretty pathetic.
I would like to know how am I able to browse bootloader screen if my power button is dead??
Mine did the exact same thing, I was online chat with Samsung for warranty and all of a sudden the volume buttons started working in fast boot...and amazingly I pressed power after select recovery and it works...right before the volume buttons "unlocked " , I was kinda tapping on the power button trying to get it to do anything, then I saw the USB init and whatnot

Hi has anyone managed to access the bootloader menu with the hw button method??
I have attempted and it doesnt work? :/
It does work, but there is a trick: make sure you do not maintain the power button pressed (but keep volume down pressed). If you keep both buttons pressed, the tablet will not enter the bootloader.

Thanks! Very quick reply too, i will give this a go when i arrive home, I think holding power button too long may be the issue as I see a blank screen as if it is to enter the bootloader menu just before it shows the nvidia android bootlogo
EDIT: Problem solved, successfully mamaged to access bootloader menu, thank you

Greetings...
I will try to help you...
First, you have to enable the Developer mode on your device, going to Settings >> About Phone >>> Software Information >>> Build Number. When you reach there, tap on it about 6-7 times until you get a message saying you unlocked the Developer's Mode.
View attachment 1-Enabling-developer-option.webp
Then you will have to go back to Settings again and look for Developer's mode at the bottom of the list.
When you get into this option, you will have to search for Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlock options, so you will be able to proceed to the unlocking bootloader...
You must activate both, otherwise it will not show on the pre-download screen! If you get a popup warning, tap enable if you would like to proceed.
Now restart your device into Download mode, pressing Vol Up+Vol Down+Power Button or just Vol Up+Vol Down and insert your usb cable into the device. The usb cable must be connected on your computer first.
View attachment 4-Samsung-Galaxy-A22-Download-Mode.webp
After doing this, your device will go on Download mode and this screen will appear, pay attention carefully before press any key on you device....
After you do this procedure to press and hold Volume UP button, then it will show you another screen, like this...
Now you press Vol Up to unlock or Vol Down to give up and go back to normal.
If you choose Yes, your device will reboot and then will erase all informations and files you had into your phone and will perform a hard reset to factory default, and your bootloader will be unlocked.
If all were done correctly, this is the screen that will show for you from now on...
You're done. Your device is completely unlocked.
In any case, always have an original stock rom firmware of your device, so you can restore the original.
And if you want to lock it again, do the same steps again, but when you choose YES, it will do a hard reset again and go to factory install, erasing all again.
Remember to do a back-up of all your data and stuffs before you perform this.
I hope I had helped with this.
