We dropped one of our wing's and now the ONLY thing not working is the power button at the top. I had psshutxp so I mapped "Display Switch" program to my camera button and I am using camera button to turn off the screen.
The problem I have now is when I took the battery out to change the SIM card - I don't have any way to start the phone.
I can hold the camera button and plug into my computer usb and get to the color screen where it shows the SPL and IPL numbers, is there any program or way to reboot the phone from command line, so that it can boot up?.
Please help.
Thanks.
try not holding the camera button when you plug it in.
The camera button links to the bootloader, so by not pressing it, it will skip the bootloader screen and jump to the os.

If I don't hold the camera button, the phone won't start.

does someone know how to do it?
Hold the photo button and then soft-reset. Keep holding for about 7 seconds, then release. That worked for me.
While your device is on, try holding the Camera button and pressing the reset until you see the screen with big red, green & blue color bands
thanks but it doesnt work...
If you want to enter in Bootloader mode you have to press and hold the Camera button, and in the same time you need to press the Power Button once.
1- Turn it off
2- Press and hold "camera" button
3- While still holding the camera button , connect the usb cable and keep the camera button pressed, then you'll get the Bootloader mode.
With a broken power button, is there any way I can get my xda2 into bootloader mode so I can change the ROM?
i doubt it unless you take it apart and shortcurcit the to points that the powerbutton is connected to
would prob be easier to put in a new button then i guess
I may be wrong but doesn't the power button actually put the phone into suspend mode?
Would it work to map the "suspend" function to another button (like the calendar button)? Or does a hard reset only work with the usual specific hardware buttons?
no it's not the only function
clicking on a suspece software shortcut
while reseting the device dont result in a hardreset
I have a solution. i have the same problem. Get a paperclip, and insert it into the hole where the power button should be. Slide it in until your device turns on/off. Then hold it there carefully, and press and hold the ACTIOn key and the reset button.
Works for me!

BETTER STATED ISSUE:
My MDA wont go into the tricolor screen. When it tries to do it, it just turns off. I then have to pull out the battery and put it back in for it to work again. How can I fix this? I want to try a different ROM. Thanks in advance.
Power off the phone completely,then press and keep holding down the camera button and at the same time Power On the phone,you have to keep pressing and holding down the camera button while Power on the phone,release it after it wakes up,hope this'll do the trick.
Cheers

Thank you about your advice about the bootloader page... but it doesn't solve the Splash Screen is White... Apparently it seems that my rom is also no longer can be flash!! (TT)
Ok now, I have my situation solved!
I had to turn it back to the original SPL and then putinthe official ROM to make it back up to the Original state... then re Hard-spl again....
Thanks!
Hi there, i am newbie. and i think i have read a lot of here to effort to revive my device.
The device wouldn't weak up again after upgrading ROM to winmo 6.5. during ROM updating, the progress was not shown on the device, and suddently reported that updating failed. Since then i can not effort to do run on bootloader mode, even i follow to press volume down + soft reset.
can anyone help me, please.
Tx.
There are many ways to enter the bootloader (from the wiki http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:HTC_Elf.png):
Hold down the camera button and reset device with the stylus. Keep holding the camera button until you see 'tricolor' bootloader screen.
-An alternative way to enter bootloader:
Switch the device off by long pressing O/I (power) button. hold down the camera button while pressing the O/I button about 1 second. Keep holding the camera button until you see 'tricolor' bootloader screen.
=Alternative(universal?) bootloader(3)
As almost all htc smartphones with onboard camera, when you push and hold the camera(photo) button, and plug in usb adapter. Even a "stupid" usb power adapter will work.
Good luck!
