Reflashing the ROM

How to go to the Falshing ROM ? I got the Image from HTC.. and told me to do Vol Down plus Power on..
But I cant make it work ?
Any trick ?
Thanks

Turn the phone off completely.
Hold both volume up & volume down buttons and briefly press power on. Keep holding volume buttons till the screen comes on, then follow on-screen instructions.

That's how you reset to the factory defaults.
What you want to do is to completely turn off your device and then hold the vol-down button while tapping once on the power button.

What does that do then?

its called "hard-reset" if you do this.
you can reset your device.

I described a hard reset. I want to know what the other described method does.

[Q] odd hardware bottons begavior

hi all
I gave noticed a weird behavior with my device.
When I try to get into recovery with volume down+ power..I go into the bootloader menu. Trying to use volume up + power I get three haptic gesturs and the led lights in orange and get stuck.
I can get into recovery using the HBOOT menu and using the EXT4 power menu
Any suggestions?

Volume down + power ALWAYS takes you to bootloader. I'm not sure what made you think otherwise. Your phone is behaving normally.

Power Button Spoiling

My power button is getting lesser and lesser sensitive. It can hardly tell the different between holding down the power button to off the phone or pressing down the power button to sleep the phone.

Volume buttons - long press

Hi guys,
Just received my new Nexus 7 and noticed that the volume down button doesn't lower the volume when I long press the button. Does anybody else have that issue or is a hardware defect on my end? It works when I press and hold the volume up button but not on the way down. Single clicking it works though.
thanks for any input.

thanks for the feedback. I am trying another ROM first before I rule out any software mods that may cause this. I am using the APM.

Volume Down and Power button don't seem to work anymore

Something just happened to my phone where the touchscreen actions went a little crazy for a second or two and then the Volume Down and Power button don't seem to work anymore.
The Volume Up button still works though...
Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way to turn off or reboot the device without using the power button?

Volume down, power and home button. All 3.

Thank you!
Actually, I found in this case holding down Volume Down and Power caused the phone to reboot. I wonder if something got stuck...

It happened to me as well and I found some article which said to hold power +down button for some time and it will reboot
