Can't access to bootloader !!

Hi all !
I can't enter the bootloader screen (screen with blue, green and red stripes) by pressing the volDown key after a soft reset. The phone simply boot on the rom and don't let me see the desired screen.
Is someone can help me to retrieve access to the bootloader screen ?
Radio 2.10.50.8
ROM EnergyRom GTX [13th may 2010]

it shuold be as simple as holding down vol key when powering it on...like you are doing.

u really shutted it fully down and powered on again? or just softreseted via software?

I have tested the two solutions ... I also turn off the device for one day and turn it on pressing the volDown key ... the result was the device booting normally !

mmh.. and if u want to hard reset ur phone? i mean.. when u press both, volume up and down at the start.. does atleast the hardreset screen appear?

No It change nothing ... I really can't access this screen anymore. I try also to upgrade to HSPL 2.X but the issue persists

Oo thats weird.. for what do u need the screen anyway?
i would flash a new rom maybe.. so the prob could be solved that way, but i really dont know if that will help >.<

try it with the battery cover off to get a better press
power off
press and hold and keep holding vol down
press and release power KEEP PRESSING VOL DOWN
only release vol once three colored screen shows.

samsamuel, I flash my HD2 more and more but since I test the radio 2.10.50.XX, the device just boot normaly and it not let me enter the bootloader screen (I keep the volDown key during booting after turn on the device like you said)
Darksorrow, I need to get back to radio 2.08.50 because the 2.10.50 sucks my battery very quickly ... :'( I'll try to flash the device with an other ROM ... with luck It could give me back the access to bootloader ...

the rom can't affect the bootloader in the same way that your installed operating system on your pc can't affect the bios.
even if you wipe the rom completely you can still enter bootloader.
anyway best of luck.
edit - in using same radio as you.

Thanks for the information and after flashing I understand that the bootloader still unavailable by pressing down the volume down button ... Is it possible that this was and hardware problem even if volume keys works well in Sense?

Its possible, but unlikely.
I dont mean to sound like i dont believe your results, but i cant help the feeling that you arent doing it right.
Every post so far where someone couldnt enter bootloader / start a hard reset has been down to the order of pressing and the length of the press.
Its usually that they are
1 - pressing and holding both power and vol
or
2 - releasing vol down when they release power
or
3 - not pressing vol hard enough (this is where the battery cover off helps, it allows the button to press more firmly.)
or
4 - pressing power before they press and hold vol.
all of which will fail to enter bootloader.
ill repeat the process, just for clarity.
power off the phone
press hold and keep holding 'vol down'
tap and release power BUT keep vol down pressed
release vol down when the three coloured screen appears.
any more than that i cant suggest, sorry.

Here you go. Give this a shot. Run the cab on your device and there will be a shortcut in your start menu to take you to bootloader

It works fine. Thank you.

Thanks a lot this work for me too !
@samsamuel : I understand the way you explain me Even if I kept the vol down touch after powering the device I just see the device booting on ROM ...

I have one more question, do you think I can perform a format (with MTTY) considering the fact that I can't access to bootloader at startup ? I hope this work but the risk is that I can't never install a ROM after formatting if I still can't access to bootloader by pressing volume down at startup ....

Thanks Zelender, the file works wonderfully. ...and yes, I'm sure I was using correct procedure to enter bootloader as I had done it before.

I have a similar situation, but I have a Nexus One. I know this is not the area for the N1, but this is the only place where someone is having the same issue of not being able to go to the bootloader. I press vol down while hitting power button. This would always give me the boot loader menu, but instead it just boots to the OS.
Any way I can regain access to the bootloader, because my os is messed up and my radio isnt operating.
Thanks

Hum ... I just process an task 29 via MTTY and the result is .... "phone sent for repair" so for those who have the problem, DO NOT EXECUTE TASK 29 or you'll have a blank phone and you'll can't install new ROM.

I can't return to winmo rom.

I've the same problem as Fl3ek : I flashed a nand android rom with magldr and I can't return to bootloader mode and I can't make a hard reset. The only thing working is magldr but only for flashing nand android roms (i tried 3 of them : they all work ).
Is there an APK like bootloader.cab ? Or a program to flash or activate bootloader in nand with magldr ?
I tried quick boot with bootloader option but it does'nt work.

Hard SPL Boot Loader - Button Combinations

Hi, I have a HTC Tytn/Hermes and thought it would be fun to upgrade the ROM. I've install Hard-SPL, but it appears my power button is broken... Is there any way to get into recovery mode without the power button?
If I brick my phone, how can i recover without the power button?
Thanks

[Q] boootloader screen wont come up htc evo

help me my evo wont load the bootloader screen anymore when i try to flash a new rom or boot into recovery it just stays on the htc evo screen i have the warm treats rls 2 rom flashed

Try:
1) Shut the phone off
2) hold the Volume Down button
3) Press and release the Power button, continue to hold down Volume down
After a few seconds you should be in the boot loader. Wait for it to finish scanning for a PC36IMG.zip, then it should bring you to a menu with a Recovery option. Hopefully your recovery partition is intact and you'll be able to boot to it and flash new firmware.

how to boot in to tri color bootloader

after flash andriod rom use maglrd 1.11 , i cant boot in to tri color bootloader , i try hold down vol button and power button but alway boot in to maglrd , please help , i need find out how to boot in to bootloader ?

Power off your device and hold "Volume Down" and Power on the device till u get the tricolour screen.

i try that but just boot in to maglrd not bootloader

I've tested it yet and it works for me!??
- Shut down ur device
- press the volume down button (hold down all the time)
- short tap on the power button and release it (still holding volume down)

still the same boot in to maglrd

I think you're holding the power button too long.

Hold down the volume down and press the Power On and release it while still
holding the volume down.
Works for me.
​

i just tap the power button

same here
I got the same problem I was going to flash a new radio and start over with MAGLDR with a new nand because the call key isn't working since i started using namd versions, last night i spent like two hours trying to get my phone in Bootloader Mode with no luck

hope some one can help

Vol down and power. odds are your not holding it right. If it dont work, then your stuck with Magldr.

Why are you even holding the power button?
To get to the RGB Bootloader:
Turn off Device
Hold Volume Down Button
Turn on Device - DO NOT HOLD the POWER BUTTON

That doesn't work for me and i can't have a hard reset neither.
I always go back to android.
I just can change nandroid with magldr 1.10 : i can't come back to winmo : android works well but I need some winmo programs.

You sure you doing it right?
You release the power button when the HD2 vibrates but you still hold on to the Volume Down button.
I play with this HD2 all the time, switching from WinMO6.5 to Android SD, and Android NAND, as well as Clockwork Recovery NAND.
If I want SPL3.03, I go into Recovery Mode with leoimg.nbh file.
When I want to go back to Android, I do recovery back to 1.66 to recover back to SPL 1.42 so I can flash back HSPL 2.08
Have not met an issue yet.

Yes i just tap the power button and still just go to magldr

Do you even have HSPL installed???

Yes other why i cant flash to andriod la

Research more stuff
MAGLDR is not boot loader
Bootloader = phone off, volume down + power button
MAGLDR - Phone will be off + hit power - it will turn on in MAGDLR
P.S. If installed correctly

can someone please help me,i installed maglrd 1.11 for install android, when
restart its come up to htc logo in white screen only i can go in to bootloader but nothing i can do,i installed hspl, i dont know wht to do now.

perhaps your volumedown button does'nt work properly.
Take the back off the phone,
take the battery out,
wait for a few seconds,
put the battery back into the phone,
leave the back off the phone, so that you can feel better that you press the volume down button correctly
press power button only once and very briefly
this should work, I had the same problem

[Q] Changing MAGLDR + Android Version

On NexusHD2-Froyo_V1.9G_NAND and i want to go to HyperDroidGBX-v10, and first i have to boot into MAGLDR113, and i can't boot into the green white blue boot because it always goes automatically to the MAGLDR111, ideas?
If anyone is looking for the solution in the future;
To place the HD2 into Bootloader mode, remove the HD2's back cover hold down the volume down key, now press in the red reset button under the back cover to the bottom left of the SIM, release the soft reset button but continue to hold the volume down key in until you are presented with the tri colour bootloader screen. To exit Soft Reset the device.

Why would you want to boot to HSPL if all you want to do is flash a new ROM? All you need to do is boot to MAGLDR and either go to USB Flashed or AD Recovery then flash the ROM? If you want to boot to HSPL make sure you hold down the volume button then power on.
