hi every one. i have an htc x one from att. with broken volume key that restarts itself every minute or so. i was wondering if it is possible to use an external keyboard connected to the phone while is on bootloader mode in order to get into recovery mode and factory reset if possible, well boot loader mode says tampered that may means i need to unlock the bootloader and flash back to stock. but without the volume key i cant move in fastboot mode or hboot. bottom line i need and external usb keyboard in order to fix the phone. any help would be very much apriciate

I need help getting a Droid Pro working again.
1. I broke the screen so I ordered a replacement and was able to replace it and the phone powers up no problem but it is currently stuck in a bootloop after SBF.
2. The volume buttons, although physically working, don't appear to be recognized in software for some reason. As a result, I am not able to access bootloader (Vol Up + Vol Down).
3. I can access Stock recovery, but again because the volume buttons don't work as they should, when the stock recovery comes up the only thing I can do is select the option that is highlighted by default. The volume buttons are used to highlight options and the entry that is highlighted is to reboot the device. I am unable to highlight the option to factory reset.
4.Because I SBF'd, the USB debugging is turned off by default since the phone bootloops and I am unable to boot into the system to turn on the USB debugging. Therefore, without USB debugging turned on, I can't use ADB to send some commands from my laptop.
I am stuck in catch-22 hell. Someone please help me out. Thanks.
I just got the google nexus s 4g phone and im trying to root it but i cant get into bootloader mode? Ive tried both volume up and power and volume down and power and it just boots to main screen. Is there something i have to do first to get into bootloader mode that i missed or something?
Nop, just press volume up, and while keeping it pressed hit power.
To add to that, make sure you keep them held down because even letting off slightly early just brings up the Google screen. At least in my case.
Not to mention the phone needs to previously be off
Since you're going to be unlocking it you're going to be using fastboot once you get there. Boot the phone up normally and make sure usb debugging is on if it isnt. adb reboot bootloader
Greetings all, As the title suggest I have an HTC One A9 unlocked and I am trying to factory reset it after re-locking bootloader. However, Whenever I boot into boot mode and select to reboot into Recovery mode I am greeted with "Failed to boot to recovery mode" With suggestions to press volume up or down to go back into bootmode. Upon resetting my phone I am sent to a data encryption screen where it ask to enter a password to decrypt my data, Now I can enter any number I want and it goes through saying "The password you entered is correct but your data is corrupt." And gives me a button to factory reset my phone, So I press it and it resets my phone and enters bootmode where my only options are; Reboot, Reboot to bootloader, Boot to download mode, reboot to recovery (Which I just covered does not work for me), Power down. I've looked into this problem before coming here and other people with similar problems have no problems entering recovery mode and even have an option to factory reset the phone from the boot loader menu, However I do not have that 'Factory reset' option in my boot loader menu.
I've spent the last two hours looking at various websites and various topics in this forum but cannot find a solution to aid me. I was hoping to be able to just fix this and return to my phones current settings without wiping anything, But at this point I'll be happy to be able to just get past this and will be satisfied with factory wiping the phone and having it be useable, As I'd like to avoid having to buy a new phone it at all possible.
When I go to recovery mode, I get a phone icon with a red symbol in it. Then I'm able to hold power button and tap the vol up button to proceed. If you're fine wiping the phone, have you tried using the .exe rom file from the HTC site? You need HTC sync installed on the PC, and have phone in download mode use it (at least that's what I've had to do). It should, I believe, reflash recovery mode.

The easyest way should: take your matching RUU and flash your device. This solves your problem
I have two Nexus 5 (one is mine, one is my wife's) that have recently following OTA updates from Google stopped booting.
They get to the Google logo, then to the animation and at this point switch off and reboot ad nauseum.
What can I do to bring them back to life?
Never known a phone so prone to firmware issues as this phone!
If the bootloader is unlocked, you re-can flash a stock ROM. Just be aware of the fact that unlocking the bootloader will factory reset the phone which results in complete data loss.
Its locked currently.
Is there a way of unlocking the bootloader whilst in this state?

Try holding the power and volume down button together, you should see it boot into fastboot mode, you can press the volume down button till u see recovery highlighted, press the power button and boot into it. From there just try to factory reset and see if that works, if it doesn't then I'll help you unlock your bootloader with the best knowledge I can offer if u got a PC.
Try booting into fastboot mode and leave it here for about 5 minutes. If it reboots by itself, it could be a defective/faulty power button.
Flash a factory image and it will be fine. i had same problem already, just google nexus factory images all instructions are there as well as factory images.
Hey, i have a really big problem. My Friend has a Razer Phone 1 and had magisk install on it. He did not want it anymore so he could use his online banking app. He opend the magisk app and clicked deinstall. Than it booted to TWRP and he restarted it. It was still booting to TWRP. So he startet the bootloader and did a factory reset. But now it's not doing anything. It just sits there in there on the splash screen. It's not saying anything about it that it has a unlocked bootloader. He did not lock the bootloader. I have downloaded the newest version from razer but i cannot use it because i cant go to the bootloader anymore. I tried to restart it but with no luck. Has anybody an idea on what can i try? He realy needs his phone.
Thanks.
Just ruling out some fundamental issues, did you plug in a USB cable to connect your Razer Phone to your computer (if you did, try another USB cable and/or another computer/even connect to another phone), Power Off the Phone, then turn it on and immediately press and hold the Volume Down button for Download Mode (or hold the Volume Up button for Recovery Mode).
EDIT: btw, opposite from what your friend did, I have Magisk installed so I can use banking apps. not sure why he wants to remove it.

Hold down Vol Down and Power until you can manage your way back into Fastboot/Bootloader mode and reflash everything from the system images provided by Razer.
At some point you should be able to interrupt the bootloop to be able to get the Vol Down button being held down recognized that the phone should go to Fastboot.
