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.
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
I'm trying to get my hd2 to stay on the tri-colored bootloader screen but it quickly goes to a white screen that says "this operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel".
Pressing volup and other keys does nothing. I assume this is because I have CWM installed and im using an android rom.
To clarify: I can boot CWM and my android from nand, but I am trying to run task 29 because my rom is messed up and I can't get the bootloader screen to stay. It thinks I'm trying to reset the data but I'm not.... Any help?

Vol down and power button
Thats what I'm doing and it results in what i described in the first part of my post.
ive tried all sorts of button combinations and none work
Throwin this out there but could ur vol+ button be sticking???when u do vol +/- ull get that screen
i did a button test and all the buttons work like they should, except when i press vol up nothing happens but when i press menu it registers both menu and volup
but yeah volup by itself does nothing...
In order to get to the reset screen you must be pushing the Vol Up + Vol Down + Power on. To get to bootloader it is only Vol Down + Power on. Make sure that you press at the bottom end of the Vol button.
Ok so that means my volup is stuck or malfunctioning. Any ideas on how to remedy this?
Apart from getting a service, No. Sorry.
Question for wizards:
Is there any way to enter boot loader without volume keys?
Keys are defective.
Phone is stacked in windows screen and can not boot completely to use ActiveSync.
anyone please ?
search for this program''quick shutdown'' on this forum...it has the option to restart in boot mode
thanks for reply!
Problem is I can't access windows in my touch2. It is stacked in boot process.
Do you have any other suggestion? Some key sequence, other than vol down + pwr ?
this was my problem too. my volume buttons are not working. when i diassable my phone, volume buttons are cut from the board. so when the phone stucked at boot or something, i have to diassamble the phone then use right combination for volume button down(over the board, using a cable or something metal) + press end call button. then i can see bootloader.
