HTC HD2 Bootloader without volume down key - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I have a HTC HD2 running Desire Froyo 2.2. My volume down key is not working. I need to flash the Original WM 6.5 rom for warranty purpose. However to do this, i have to enter bootloader using volume down and power key. Now i am in a bind, I cant get the volume down key repaired until i flash OEM, and to flash OEM i need to use the volume down key. Is there anyway I can enter bootloader without the volume down+power key method.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
PS: There are other major issues with the phone (No GPS (Hardware Isssue), and many more to list), hence it is imperative that i send it for warranty repair.

No there is no way to enter bootloader.

maybee you can bend the power contacts or break the phone .. so it will not turn on
IF they can not turn it on .. they will not know its been hacked :/

I would rather get it fixed. If i break it, I dont think warranty covers it.

I think your best option is to take your phone to someone else and get the volume down key repaired, pay cash. Then take it to HTC for your warrenty repair for all the other problems.

I tried to get it fixed. They want a $120 for it. It may be the last resort. I am still keeping my fingers crossed, may be some solution will come to avail.

you can enter bootloader by holding the red "end call" key and select reboot, there you have the option of booting into bootloader..I dont know if the build you use have this option or not, but MDJ's 2.4 has this option.

Bootloader meaning the tri color screen... Not the magldr boot menu screen or clockwork recovery or menu thingie... Either way, without volume keys, either thing is useless to use or access.

yeah, i have the option in the shutdown menu, but it doesnt really load the bootloader. MAGDLR wont do it, I can get in to it.

I wonder if its possible to write code to enter bootloader?

This SD build by mdeejay has an option when you press reboot
it gives you the choice rebooting to bootloader.
Worth a try

A lot of builds have bootloader & recovery reboot options, unfortunately due to the hack-ish nature of our Android these never work.

I tried the SD version you suggested, it has the option, but it doesnt load the bootloader when selected. My nand rom also has that option, but doesnt work either.

Usually the RUU ROM flasher for windows mobile ROMs/Radios can load the bootloader with the phone on Windows Mobile... There should be a away to load the bootloader from Android too...

If you start to run any of the winmo RUU's it will unpack itself and one of the files is EnterBootloader.exe. Try copying this to your sd card and run it from there.

I have android running, so no activesync, hence, any ruu wont recognize the phone connected via usb.
Can I run EXE in android? How?

Nope, you can't run EXE files in Android. I think your only way to go is finding the cheapest repair center to fix that volume button of yours.

Wasn't sure if it would work, it did under winmo.
I just had to hit your thanks button because of your signature LOL

if you already have windows installed....than just plug-it in using activesync and run HSPL3... do not install it...before installing it will put ur phone in bootloader....than exit HSPL3 keep your phone pluged in and just flash wtever....radio,rom...etc....

no, dont have winmo running. I have gingerbread. Cant revert to winmo cause cant get into bootloader. catch 22.

HD2 BRICKED...please someone help

I was on Radio 2.10.50; i fashed radio 2.07.50 everithing was fine after the flash; then i run TASK29 by doloop; but after that the bootloader dont start, only the HTC star screen appears, i have to pull out the battery to reset the phone, and restart with the volumne down button pressed but still the same i tried almost 20 times but still the same.....
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME.....i flashed almost 40 times before and run TASK 29 before but this never hapened, im desesperated.....
take your battery off, wait 20 seconds. Put battery back in, hold Vol- and push power. ou will be at the 3 color screen. Connect the USB cable, get the 'USB' text below and flash a ROM.
Obviously you have HSPL, on the phone, right? you were able to do task 29..
bigE
Bootloader wont charge
Yes i have HSPL, but after the TASK 29, i think it have been deleted, now the bootloader does not exist, i tried pushind down and reseting the volume down, but without the bootloader, it wont start.
Maybe if i run a SHIPPED ROM from the SD card...???

i don't think run Task29 will delete bootloader. You should wait for better advices from someone in here before you try something else that you are not sure.
nope, that is not possible. Unless you have a malfunction with the phone, there shouls be a bottloader..
Do you hold Vol- (keep your finger on) at all times? you should not leave the button until phone wakes up at bootload. The power button can be pushed and be left after about 0.5 a second.
Another wild idea- maybe you battery is dead? try charging it for 15 minutes..
Thanks
Thanks for your advices man, im doing it, but nothing appears to work, im seriously deseperating, i dont know why the bootloader dont start.
Even more, before i run TASK 29, i ve entered bootloader directly pushing down the volume key and everything was fine; but now it seriously appear that the bootloader have been deleted or even i can acces it.
Ive read some other similar cases; and a lot report the same problem, after flashing a new radio, and then runing the TASK29, the bootloader,apparently have been deleted.
About the battery
About the battery, i also think that was the posible problem,because, it was abouth 60% when i flash the radio; and when i run TASK 29, i dont see how much it was,because, ive entered bootloader directly; but ive charged for about 1 hour and still the same the bootloader wont charge, i only get the damn HTC screen.....
I was thinking about flashing shipped rom fom the SD card, but thing it be imposible because to do HSPL (bootloader) is needed, and or my bootloader has deleted or is imposible to acces it so i think that will be a useless option
Posible solution
I think one posible solution was to install HSPL from SD card again; but i think it is imposible...but seriously i wish i was wrong about it.
OK then, try to flash a stock ROM, although i doubt you can.. Maybe you VOL- button isn't really pushed in? I am running out of ideas.. I have HTC phones for several years and never lost the bootloader. By definition the bootloader is a different component on the phone's board, and oe can not write to it from the USB interface (normally it is hardwire write protected). Do you have another battery? or did you try charging a bit?
dannytgt, what model of your device?
I think the answer is simple. When you ran Task 29, did u put the desired Radio in the same map? was it Called ruu_signed.nbu? if you didnt, that would explain why you have no bootrom.
I would run it again but this time with the latest radio in the same map. I hope it works for you man.

You re right when i run Task 29, i dont have put the Radio in the same folder; i flashed the Radio separately, and then i Run TASK 29.
I tried to run it again. but its imposible, because I DONT HAVE THE BOOTLOADER, so its imposible....
i really apreciate your ideas, i really thanks all of you guys and i hope you will still sharing any ideas about unbricking my phone.
It gets really hard to get a phone like this in my country, i ve done a lot of effort...to have this phone...so i still dont give up about leaving it like that

The radio is not needed to start the bootloader.
Well, strange issue with your phone. You really can't enter the bootloader by holding vol down press power on and keep holding vol down?
There MUST be some kind of boot loader. i think without there would be a white screen.
If it is not opening in Boot loader try flashing rom using sync process if your hd2 is booting to Os. otherwise that is only way other have described you. Take battery out . Wait for 5 minutes. Put battery in n press Vol Down button and press power on button. your phone should on in Boot loader .
Some time it happens with me also. but automatically after 2-3 tries it loads in boot loader menu.. dont know what is the problem.. but whatever it is.. IS Strange..
Good Luck
Have you tried hard resetting your phone by holding both the up and down volume when you start? Task 29 deleted the rom so you will need to flash a rom, but if you cant enter bootmode, thats not possible..
Your problem seems to be quite unique. Almost makes me think it is the volume down button that is not responding well...
do you have your battery cover on when trying to press the volume down button?
If yes, try it without the battery cover on

correct, impossible.
The phone wont go past the grey screen because there is no rom to load. Bootloader has NOT been overwritten,. task29 cannot do that.
Chances are you simply aren't entering bootloader correctly.
Take off the battery cover (to get a better press)
phone completely powered off.
press, hold and keep holding 'volume down' (not up and down, not up, just down)
tap AND RELEASE (dont release vol down) the power button
keep holding vol down
as soon as the three coloured screen appears, then release vol down.
once the word serial changes to usb, flash your rom.
i have a feeling your Vol Down button is not working. that's why its not entering bootloader. u going to disassemble your phone? hmm...be careful with that.
Bricked HD2
Would you be willing to ship it to me? I could have some fun trying to figure some stuff out since you're not having any luck.

[Q] enter bootloader

I think I have a problem with my HD2.
The screen of my hd2 was broken so I tried to replace it with a new one.
But when assambling I probably ripped the volume flex cable.
So I can´t press volume down to enter bootloader.
I had a custom rom installed and use an android sd rom.
But to make it a nandroid or change the radio I have to get into the bootloader.
Is there an other way to get into the bootloader the with the volume button??

Yes do a Google search for Touch Tools or Anestasia End Key these both have options to go straight to the bootloader via your touch screen.
can't you just use RUU from your winmo ROM?
See attachment. Download, extract and copy to sd/phone memory. Run it.

Sorry, no. You'll have to run it from Windows Mobile. You did say you had a custom ROM installed, right, with Android running from SD?
yes, I figured it out already.
But if I´m right, I can only enter the bootloader from windows mob.
If I do mtty or flash magldr, I´ll always need the volume button to enter bootloader.
If I do mtty i´m screwed...
To install magldr you alsoo need the volume buttons to make selections in the magldr menu.
And yes I have a custom rom installed and android from sd.
I managed to change the radio and custom rom with the file you posted.
Thank god I forgot to do mtty, because I couldn´t enter the bootloader if there isn´t a win mobile installed.

I have no real clue if this is actually posible or not, just thinking out loud here. But you might want to check into seeing if it is possible to change the volume down to the volume up button to make it enter bootloader. I know the bootloader is a program that is not part of Windows Mobile so I doubt very seriously you could do it via a regestry tweek. But it has to be something in the code are something for the bootloader to know to run when that combination of buttons are being pressed. Something like if x=1 & z=1 then run .exe. I am no programer by any means but that is just an idea from my basic understanding of code. If anybody else wants to add to this thought please do good or bad cause I would like to know if I am anywhere close to right or if I am just day dreaming lol.

[Q] lockscreen freeze issue

I've searched the forums and have not been able to anything that addresses this issue.
I'm running an Android Nand ROM, this is my second Nand. Ran SD versions previously. This issue began with the first Nand and continues with the second.
When the phone boots the lockscreen will function exactly once. If the screen is allowed to go to sleep or put to sleep with the end button, the lockscreen is frozen and requires a battery pull to function again (again, exactly once). Hard buttons continue to work. Hitting the send key will get me into the dialer, and from there the home key will get me to the home screen, but at that point the home screen is frozen.
I don't think it's a battery or mainboard issue, but I could be wrong. Tried to run Task 29 with no luck. Can't connect to PC to flash a windows ROM (thought that formatting SD card might help). Removed the SD card, which did not change anything.
Any help with this issue would be most appreciated
Edit. I discovered that if I use the hard send key it will wake the lockscreen which will then function delivering me to the home screen which also functions properly. Problem appear to be associated with the hard end key only.
Edit 3/19/2011: This is a hardware issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893037&highlight=lockscreen+freeze
I've determined that any hard key other than the end key will wake the lockscreen which will then function properly. It appears that the end key is either worn out or has something going on under the button such as dirt build up or bent connections. Will attempt to disassemble and correct. Will report back after.
Ok here is my sugestions and advice. First try a master/hard reset of your Andriod ROM. To do this cut your HD2 off then press and bold down the power button until the main menu of MAGLDR comes up. Then use the volume up and down buttons to scroll through the options until you see recovery and select it. This will preform a reset of your ROM.
If that does not fix your problem you can try flashing a different Andriod ROM.
If you still have the problem you can preform a task 29 by turning the phone off and putting your phone into bootloader. To do this turn the phone off and hold the volume down button down and tap the power button but continue to hold down the volume down button until you see the muticolor bootloader screen come up. Plug your phone into a computer via USB cable and wait for the Serial in the white bar at the bottom of the phone screen to change to USB. Then run the task 29. By the way unless you flash a Window Mobile ROM via SD card this is the best way to flash a Windows Mobile ROM, HSPL, MAGLDR, or run task 29.
Once you ha e run a task 29 (or not it is your decission) you can either reflash MAGLDR and flash a Andriod ROM again (Not sure if you will have to reflash MAGLDR or not after you run task 29 so check and see if you still have it by powering off and holding the power button down.) Or you can flash a Windows Mobile ROM by the above steps to put it in bootloader and flashing. Or you can use ASDa card to flash a Windows Mobile ROM. If you use this method and flash a official ROM it will revert your SPL back to stock and you will lose MAGLDR, if you flash a official ROM via USB you will lose MAGLDR but not nessaraly HSPL, you will just have to go into bootloader to check that. Anyway use a 4GB or smaller SD card and make sure it is formated with Fat 32 and then download a Windows Mobile ROM. If the ROM shows up as a .exe when you extract it from the zip file then rename the .exe to .zip and right click the file if it is not a .exe then just right click it. When you right click the file it will pop up a box with options select view or explore wich ever one you see and look for the file with .nbh at the end and rename it to leoimg.nbh. then copy the file to the SD card and insert the SD card in your pbone. put your phone into bootloader but keep the volume down button held down until you see searching on your phone screen and then release the volume down button and the ROM will flash.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
Thanks T-Macgnolia. I will try this sequence tonight. I did discover a workaround (see my edit of original post). It appears the problem is solely associated with the hard end key. Still not sure if its a hardware or software issue. But should have a better idea after I try your suggestions.

[Q] Stuck at bootloader at boot

Hi
A friend of mine has a HD2, never HSPL or anything and still running on 1.42 rom.... Now everytime it boots it goes straight into the bootloader. Since its never been messed around with I find it odd, seen it before with people with other phones. Would this just be a corrupted ROM and therefore it goes there, would if poss a stock rom flash be able to restore the phone, if that is not the case then a warranty return is still valid, but obv not wanted.
What do you think, will this work? I did search but everyone's posts come up with I task 29 and now stuck... etc and not from a stock bootloader as well!
Cheers any help will be appreciated, my first thing I will get him to try is a rom reflash but that will be tonight, I'll update on the progress then!
First thing I would check is if his volume button is stuck for some reason. Second would be to see if it detects a USB connection, then hard spl and new rom from that point. Keep us posted.

The post above me is correct check and make sure the volume down button is not stuck/Hung in the down position. If it is stuck in the down position like it is being held down at boot then this is the cause of it going straight to bootloader at boot up. If there is no problem with the volume down button then try a hard reset of the HD2. Warning this will reset your friends HD2 tolike it was fresh out the box so any photos, videos, documents, and etc that is not on the SD card they will lose. Also any contacts that are not backed up withan app like Microsoft My Phone will be lost. To do the reset while the HD2 is off bold the volume up and the volume down buttons down and press and bold the power button down. When you see the tri color screen come up release the volume and power buttons and follow the instructions on the screen (hint: you will want to press the vume up button). Now if after the Hard reset your friends HD2 still goes to bootloader at boot up then download and flash the stock ROM for their HD2 you can find it on HTC.com but make sure you varifiy that it is for their HD2 by entering the serial number of their HD2 you can find the serial number look under the battery. To flash the ROM let the HD2 boot up to the bootloader and then connect it to the computer via USB cable and wait for the Serial in the white bar of the boooader screen to change to USB and for your computer to show it recognize the pbone and then run the .exe or RUU wich everone the ROM has.
Never thought of the key being held done will try that first.
Also I won't HSPL'ing as its in warranty and a half HSPL'ed phone is well useless
OK so i feel like a bit of an idiot for this one. Turns out what I call a bootloader and he does is totally different. For me Its the tri-colour screen, for him its the red/orange windows boot screen. So it was all solved by a HR. Great..
Sorry for those who offered the advice but it really was not needed. but solid advice it was, you always can rely on help in here

[Q] Can't get to Bootloader

Hey Guys. I was hoping someone could help me with my problem.
Currently my HTC HD2 is running cyanogenmod7 using MAGLDR 1.13.
I want to switch back to winmo 6.5 to start fresh and have read tutorials that i need to enter bootloader ( the red, white, green screen thingy) to establish a connection with activesync. But the problem is that i can't actually get into bootloader and i have tried volume down button with the power button combo and it doesn't seem to work.
If someone knows how to get to bootloader then please help.
While the phone is off... do what you did... hold power and volume down buttons...
Yes, i tried that 20 times and it doesn't work

Does the volume down button work on your HD2? Sounds like it does not.
That's the strange part. My volume buttons work perfectly in Android and Magldr. I don't know what's happening
switch off the phone and open it again while you are holding the end call button
you will go the magladr menu , i thik you can find something there to take to the bootloader

No no no no no and NO!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is nothing in MAGLDR that can make your HD2 go into bootloader. The only this.g that can get you into the bootloader besides the external hardware buttons is the bootloader.exe that can be run from inside Windows Mobile. It can only be run from inside Windows Mobile. MAGLDR is a custom bootloader that runs after the HSPL bootloader and has no way of communicating with the HSPL bootloader.
At the OP, you may have a faulty volume button ribbon that is causing you not to be able to boot into the bootloader. Check out this thread you will see what I mean. Read post #10
Boot loader mode
Bootloader mode is handy for checking the HD2's version of Hard SPL as well as the installed ROM and Radio versions,and also for ROM or Radio flashing to the HD2. I sometimes use the Bootloader method to flash ROMs as it saves connecting to Activesync/WMDC because the PC recognises the HD2 as connected via USB. It is also useful for flashing a ROM or Radio version if the battery charge is less than 50%, as it ignores the 50% charge warning that is normally displayed when flashing if the HD2 is low on charge. Never use this method if you have less than a 30% charge as you will be in deep trouble if the HD2 runs out of power while flashing a ROM or Radio version!
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.

Can you get into the windows start- settings - system? If yes, there is an app that says "clear storage memory", which brings you back to the factory settings when you bought it. It's worth a try.
Entering bootloader screen is sometimes difficult: press and hold the volume down button and then press shortly
the power button, this should bring you to this screen. If it does not, remove your battery for at least 10 minutes and try again.
Good luck and regards, Kuzibri
I had the same problem ...
I could not enter the bootmanager in android brief button press to end a call, we moved the menu to shut down, reset, etc, the same menu that appears when you hold down the button longer to stop calling ...
This defect appeared to me after I lay HD2 due to large changes in ambient temperature ...
After a few days of research, opening, drying I removed the defect, so I pulled out and cleaned the keys below the screen (Home, Menu, Back, red and green) and wipe the foil that these pressures are the same buttons ...
My HD2 has been working for 2 weeks with no errors
same here but ...
to get in to bootloader i just discovered a different (strange)way ... from winmo , with back cover off press red reset button and imediately while reseting press volume down ... this is my only way to get in to ... otherwise , all the keys are fully working when in windows mobile .
very strange
all the keys includind the volume down key, works well inside windows, but I just cant go to bootloader.
I will dismante the phone, wash it and dry it, to see if something changes,
I have problem getting into 3 color bootloader also, but its because my voulme down is broken/ doesn't work anymore. Any other ways besides the volume down button?

only if you are currently running winmo 6.5, , theres a winmo app to restart into bootloader.
alternatively, dismantle the phone and short the voldown connections.

all stock roms include an spl, i think YOU mean ''or stock rom with hspl.''', , no, there are no stock roms that include hspl.
there is only one way to apply HSPL, , and that's through bootloader.

Hi, I had a similar problem where I could not enter the boot loader. The solution I found that worked for me was provided by: broncogr on another thread discussing a similar issue with the DHD ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889567 )
"restart the phone
when the capacitive buttons light is off immediately press and hold volume - button and keep holding until device is in bootloader
cheers " - broncogr
Hope this helps someone.
