how do i do that..i never did it before

You can't. Either your power button needs to be working or you phone needs to actually boot up to send it into recovery

i can get the phone to boot...i just cant get into recovery
i can get to the bootloader screen i just cant select..recovery

What I meant by boot was to actually boot up the os. Not just make it to the bootloader.

so basically im ****ed??

Unless you get the power button to work you are stuck.

bump bump...anyone got any ideas!?!?!

adb reboot recovery ? Won't that work ?
Once you get into recovery you can use the bottom four buttons to navigate through recovery. If I am not mistaken Menu to scroll up, Home button to scroll down, Search to select and Back to go to the previous menu.
Anyways you can always flash from command line using fastboot.

When your power button is broke you can't scroll and select anything in fastboot. It freezes.
You can't adb reboot recovery if the phone doesn't boot up the os. Can't use any fastboot commands either cause its stuck.
He is screwed. Getting power button to work/unstick whatever you want to call it is only way.

The guy named "shadowx360" suggests a couple of things in this thread.
Good luck

If I am not mistaken he can boot into OS, He can go to bootloader but he just can't select Recovery because of the broken power button.
So using adb and fastboot shouldn't be a problem at all. As far CW recovery is concerned you can navigate without using power button as well

problem solved...i took the phone apart and cleaned the power button with alcohol..and it worked!!

For possible future use, you can install an app called Rebooter, which can boot your phone right into recovery.

Does your PC recognize the phone? Can you boot into download mode or fast boot?

The computer did recognize it but i cant enter into bootloader because VOL DOWN + POWER just give me a HTC logo

If you are S-On with an unlocked bootloader, you need to fastboot flash the ROM zip's boot.img.

The only what fastboot says is < waiting for device >.

Put your phone in fastboot mode from hboot.

how? I cant enter in it because vol down + power only turns the phone and appears HTC logo

Sounds like a problem with your volume buttons. Use adb: adb reboot bootloader. If that doesn't work, your volume buttons may be messed up.

Fastboot flash boot boot.img responds me < waiting for device >

You need to be in fastboot mode, not hboot.

but i cant go into fastboot or hboot. only what i get when pres vol down + power is HTC logo same one when i pres power without vol down

Was there an error message? Was it the boot.img from the ROM zip?

It wasn't. Now it works perfectly. Tnx a lot to help me solve the problem. And yes seems that volume button is bad

[Q] Bootloader stuck with no adb access.

Hi All,
I think I may have bricked my htc sensation, I tried to install JellyBean 4.3 rom as described here. techbeasts.com/2013/11/08/how-to-install-android-4-3-jelly-bean-on-htc-sensation-sensation-xe
Basically, I copied all the files into the sdcard then run fastboot flash boot boot.img after that when did fastboot reboot the bootloader got stuck in loading and when I try to connect using adb i get the device offline message.
I believe with 4.2 or above you have to accept RSA warning or sometime in order to connect using adb tool but I cannot do that as it's stuck on bootloader.
Looks like I've managed to brick the phone as I don't see any way out? just want to confirm that's the case.
This is my first post, please be gentle

I'm now getting this message : error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device.

Hi;
There's no adb command while in fasboot mode. Either adb, or fasboot.
When you entered the command to flash the kernel, was it successful? Did it not give any error messages
What iss your firmware? Install the latest official ICS RUU first, then install a recovery, go into recovery and wipe partitions: data, system, and cache. Afterwards, without rebooting, install the 4.3 ROM you want (which I do not suggest) then go back into fastboot mode and flash the 4.3 ROM's kernel. (flash boot boot.img)
Where do you get the last message?
*By the way, for this kind of actions, let XDA be your first consideration to go, I recommend.*

Need Help. Nexus 5 says google when trying to turn on

I was trying to get the latest twrp '2.8.7.2'. I downloaded it and flashed the img to recovery and nothing seemed to happen so I tried flashing it to boot then I tried to reboot the system. Now when I try to turn it on I get stuck on the Google like it is turning but it just gets stuck. I tried Charging it now when I charge it I get stuck on the battery logo. When I try booting it Booting it into recovery(twrp) I get a black screen. I can tell the Screen is on because of the dim glow it gives off but it is not doing anything. Note: I am some what of a noob when it comes to this stuff, My nexus 5 was running Marshmallow, and I was running the Xtra smooth rom (it is very close to stock). Plz help. I have also just found out that the reason im getting the bootloop is I flashed the wrong version of TWRP need a fix PLZ HELP.

Did you try flashing stock recovery or twrp 2.8.7.1?

All you have to do is boot into your bootloader (Power + Volume Up + Volume Down at the same time) and flash the stock recovery.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Chances are you flashed an incorrect version of TWRP meant for another phone hence the boot loop.

You dont need recovery, you need bootloader.

Can you please explain to me exactly what to do. thank you. also my bootloader is unlocked. I also can get to fastboot so what is the diffrence between bootloader and fastboot.

Hold down the volume +, volume -, and power button. You'll be taken to a screen with the word START at the top. Now, connect the phone to your Windows computer using the USB cable, open a command prompt and type "fastboot flash recovery nameof twrpfile.img", press the enter key, use the volume button to select recovery, use the power button to enter recovery, press the power button, press volume + button, and you should enter TWRP.

Thank you but I do not own a windows computer

Then look up the respective commands. You flashed twrp over your kernel, you need to flash a proper boot.img (kernel) if you want the phone to boot. Fastboot is ran through bootloader. Flash the proper kernel in bootloader using fastboot.

Thank you this sounds like it will work. But can you put it in more simple terms and give me links? plz. thx in advance.

Do you have access to a Windows computer to flash the commands? How did you flash TWRP?

It might not have been working because I did not enable USB Debuging. :crying:

USB debugging is required for adb commands. With fastboot mode, debugging isn't necessary.
