[Q]HW Method to Access the bootloader menu?? - Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

[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

How To Get Bootloader Info

How can you get to the bootloader screen to find out if the phone is s-on or s-off?
I have been trying to hold volume down while the phone powers on and nothing seems to work.
All advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Try holding volume down button and then select to restart your phone (in the power prompt). Worked for me.

You follow the steps you would in order to Perform a factory reset using the phone buttons
1. Remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, then reinsert the battery.
2. Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER
button.
3. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release
the VOLUME DOWN button.
The details should now be listed on the top line...
Got it, that worked.
That definitely worked well. Here is my screen.
No need to pull the battery, just turn off Fast Boot (in Settings -> Power) before you shut down the phone. You can re-enable it afterwards of course.

[Q] Can't use power button to unlock phone via HTCDev

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!
Did you get around this? I keep having the same issue!

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..)

And not exactly.
If I recall correctly,
vol down means moving down on the list
vol up means moving up on the list
& power button is 'select'

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

So I had the exact same issue. I pressed the power button and volume down together and the phone rebooted back into the bootloader, this time it says *** UNLOCKED*** at the top of the screen.

Home button doesnt work because you need to Trim your rom before you flash it so files don't get overwritten when flashing gapps with it.
If you can't access recovery then go into developer settings and tick advanced boot menu
then click & hold your power button and click reboot
then it will give you options
recovery
bootloader
reboot
just tick recovery and it'll automatically go into cwm

button combo for stock recovery

Does anyone know the button combo in the stock recovery to get from the android on back to the menu?
Turn off the phone.
Push volume down and power button.
When logo apears release power button only and press it again. Than keep it pressed.
You should see the factory reset option.
If not - try again.

Thank you for the reply but I wasn't trying to factory reset. I wanted to get to the recovery menu. Usually when you get to the point where there's the green android guy on his back you can hold power down and tap volume up the menu will pop up. It's not working for this phone. Is it different on this phone because of the assistant button?
