hey guys
i have a HTC Sensation that is password locked, but the real problem is that it won't enter recovery mode.
the volume down key is working as i've tested it in a "sos call", the volume up doesn't work when the phone is turned, but that's not important as it's not needed.
is there any other way to get into recovery mode?
also, if i hold the up key with the power switch, it boots up in "safe mode"

did you try to pull out the battery?
if not take it off,put it again
then hold volume down + power button until it shows the bootloader screen

several times sir, even went as far as draining the battery inside the phone completely, trying it with another battery, leaving the battery out of the phone for a whole day...
are there no usb hacks or something like there is with the samsung android phones?

Are you on a stock rom? if you are the you would have to have un-ticked fastboot from the settings to be able to boot into the bootloader...
try to attach the device to a usb port of a laptop and see if the usb debugging symbol shows up in the status bar. if it does you can use the adb command adb reboot recovery to force a jump into the recovery.

can you take a photo of the pattern lock screen
also what do you know about the device? is it eu,uk,us? also what carrier is the device on? is it on ice cream sandwich or gingerbread? you may be able to run a RUU (rom update utility) on the device, updating the firmware and remove the lock that is currently on the device.
So, no bootloader? When you hit vol down + power it should land you in the bootloader screen, where you then select recovery. Have you tried with the cover, SD, and SIM removed from the phone?

you will need to talk to the owner of the phone, without that info your stuffed tbh. with fastboot enabled in the stock rom you cannot boot into bootloader. without the info like what carrier they are on you dont know what ruu to run to reset the device. without usb debugging you cannot use the pc to send commands as far a i am aware :/ assuming you have the correct htc drivers installed connect the device to the pc, open cmd in your adb directory and type in adb reboot bootloader and see if it responds. again without that info you've pretty much had it. you can try to flash ruu's from the pc at random in the hope that you find the correct firmware and cid, but without usb debugging on there is no guarantee that the ruu will even find it.

yeah, tried the adb reboot recovery, no dice. just error, no device connected.
the owner bought it 2nd hand, so he has no clue, i'm just going to return it. pity that htc doesn't have a "usb key" like samsung that forces "download mode" on the android devices

did you tried with FASTBOOT? it's the only thing that maybe can work for you but it's not easy. when you turn it on, does the screen light up (even in a very subtle way)? beacuse if it doesn't i'm afraid there isn't much to do.
but how Can do FASTBOOT + My Phone => No Boot ; No Mode Download ; no Recovery , But when i connect is with me Computer ; My computer seach Drivermap 3630

Then i dont know how to help you you're only chanche is to restore the boot loader but the way to do that i'm sorry i can't suggest... When it happened to me, recovery was gone and screen black with backlight, only fastboot worked and i sent every single piece of rom via usb. I wish you good luck.
No modes usually means 1 thing...
"Hard Bricked".
What i would try:
See what happens if you plug the device into charger or USB Cable.
Also "fastboot" would fix it... But you got no modes and as far as i know there is no way to use fastboot manually on this device.
At least i couldnt find a way.
Try:
Remove your battery and plug it again.
Remove any cables connected.
Try some button combos to see if it boots anywhere.
If not install android sdk.
In your computer (under dos prompt / shell / command line) manually run adb.exe
I.e:
Adb start-server
Adb devices
(see if your device number is shown).
If it is: System is on. Your device is detected. A solution may be possible.
If it is not (probably): Device is Hard Bricked.
Either ways. If screen is on then theres a tiny hope you can revive it.
I would see if Odin could detect it and repartition it. Or even try to get it connected to my PC and manage the partitions manually. But... We go back to fastboot.....
So i guess jtagging; replacing board so on... Would be the only option.
Or i would sell it for parts and get a new one since that one is probably dead. (Sad...)

Hello again.
There's one last method you could try then...
- Required tools: 2 Persons (lol)
- A thin Clip
Remove the back cover from your device. Note that between the camera and speaker (literally in the middle), you'll see a tiny hole. That hole is another button.
1st remove your battery and place it again after 30 seconds. (Time for the device clears the components power).
Then Just press:
That tiny hole button + Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button
Try it a couple of times until your device boots into forced Download Mode.
Please press Thank button if it helped you.

Hello
My Nexus 5 is all of a sudden stuck in a bootloop, see video at https://plus.google.com/+AlexanderSkwar/posts/YY6VieTVq7Z
I guess, the power button is broken, or something like this. Google will replace the device, but there's one file on the device, which I'd need access to — my Libra database…
Well, would anyone have an idea, how I could get access to it? When I connect USB cable (or use Qi charger), the system boots but then directly reboots. I cannot adb to it. I also get thrown out of the fastboot (power + volume down) menu right away.
Ideas? Anyone? :crying:
Thanks,
Alexander
Do you have a custom recovery installed? do you have adb and fastboot set up in your computer?

Try plugging the phone to the computer then run "adb devices" if it recognizes it try to from adb reboot into bootloader or tell it to reboot into recovery. dont know what else to do. It looks like you are going to learn some sleight of hands my friend.

I do know my way around adb
adb devices will only show the device , if it is booted. It does not boot - what happens, is visible in the Google+ post, which contains a video.
I tried plugging it in and it is not shown. Also not with the fastboot command (ie. "sudo fastboot devices" shows nothing. Adb also does not find the device). That is, what I meant with "I cannot adb to the device".
Then I am afraid you'll need assistance from a higher level my friend, sorry I wasn't much help.
Hi,
I have a problem with my Nexus 5, it bootloop on the Google Logo
I try to put a little piece of paper behind the power button and also to click on the power button a lot of times during the boot but it still stuck..
What can I do to try fix it ?

is this the kind of bootloop where it loops because of a stuck power button or is it a software based bootloop?

that happened to my old ativ s as well, it was due to a broken power button (electrically stuck, not mechanically) the only solution for me was to solder a new power button on it. But I just used it as an excuse to get a new phone.

if you install gravitybox and xposed there should be an option to turn on the screen with the volume buttons (I'm not sure though, it might have been another module) so you could use that as a temporary solution.

with phone turned off, (you can remove the battery and re plug it), hold the volume down button and connect it to the wall charger(do not use PC,it will trigger lg download mode), then you will be able to go to fastboot.
Once there you can:
fastboot reboot to boot to normal OS
fastboot boot twrp so you can install a rom or any other mod

i had this **** sorry for swearing i thought its something with my ROM CM13 Nightly I tried the repair service they said that they changed the power button no data was deleted so its probably the button but some one had a guide how to get the phone out that **** using your PC and manual ADB commands ( No program command line only )
I need help with this issue
when this problem reached me it was a meter of replacing the power button itself (it's like stuck there) by the way my phone was still under warranty so they changed it for me

I went to Magisk app then pressed Uninstall All, then my phone rebooted and brick at boot (Screenshot "No command").
I tried to flash back to stock rom but computer cannot reconize the phone. (I supposed USB debugging was not turned on yet).
Please advise how I can make my Pixel 2 back to work?
Many thanks in advance.

Forget about ADB, you need Fastboot access. While in the bootloader interface, connect your phone, look for it in the Device Manager and change its driver to Android Bootloader Interface, or something of the sort. Next try "fastboot devices" on the command line, see if it detects your device.
I brought my phone to repair shop and they detected that the hard disk was dead.
Just bought another Pixel 2 to have more awesome photos
You have no fastboot I guess.
Boot into fastboot, plug in the usb cable and press and hold the volume down button for like 15 seconds, and then it will be recognized by the PC. You can flash back the stock rom after that.
Hey I had the same problem. Just stuck in bootloader mode. In my case, the boot slot changed itself from b to a (access denied, same as your problem). What I did:
1. I boot my phone, then it'll be in bootloader mode (same as the first picture when it says 'operation denied')
2. I kept pressing the power button, then my phone boot into bootloader again (bootloop). I kept holding my power button until my phone boot into right boot slot. (It took me 10 bootloop to boot into right boot slot, I just keep holding my power button when in the bootloader mode)
You can add my telegram : (@)Djkuns if you're confused. Hope I can help! Goodluck!
