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.

[Q] flashing hd2 with win 7

Hey guys,
So I've decided to flash my mates hd 2 with win 7.
i downloaded the rom from the forum which has the loader (i think).
i watched the video demo on youtube and followed the instructions there.
when I boot up the phone after rom updater, I can't get into the bootloader! all I can see is htc logo and nothing happens.

With the phone turned off, hold the volume down button on the side of the phone and press the power button. Keep holding the volume down button until you see the tri-colored screen (this is bootloader).
at this point i would suggest you flash task29, enter tri-colored screen again (bootloader), then flash magldr v.1.12, then let the phone boot into magldr, choose option 5 and flash wp7.

Hi,
I cannot get into the tri-colored screen now! thats my problem. I updated HSPL to *.HSPL, and tried updating the rom and this happens!
I have tried the reset method by holding Vol + and - keys with Power button, but that doent help too
how do i used task29 when i cant get past the HTC logo on the phone?

try soft reset. remove the back cover then press a blunt pointed object such as a pen or stylus into the reset button to the bottom left of the SIM, near sd slot, and release. The phone will then reboot. try to get into bootloader as soon as it restarts

hi, i tried installing the rom again, and i get some cpp error?
dont know why.
i tried reverting back to stock rom, installed it successfully, and now when I unplugged the mobile, it turns off. when i plug it in it turns back on and it loops at HTC logo i mean, I turns itself off and turns itself on.
why do you think this happens?

Hi,
The problem is When I plug in my phone to USB, it boots up shows a HTC logo, with
R 2.06.51.07
G 15.30.50.07 U
D 1.66.76641
written in red on left corner and holds on for a few seconds and turns off, and turns on itself.
end note: the phone only starts when I plug it to USB, else its a brick

Put your phone into bootloader mode and connect to pc. Does serial change to usb once plugged in? If not try moving to another usb port on your pc , preferably one at the rear and allow the drivers to be fully installed. Once you get usb to show on screen you can then try again.

Thanks. how do i put my phone into bootleader mode?

Switch off, hold in vol down button and switch on. Keep vol down pressed in until get to multi-coloured screen. In the bottom section you should see the word "serial" - plug in to pc and this should change to "usb".

Switch phone off, remove battery for min 5 min. Put battery back.
Push down button "volume down" and keep pressed. Dont release it.
Now keeping volume down putton pressed press down power on switch. Keep pressed to this time when you see on your tricolor screen.
Release buttons.
You are on bootloader mode.
Install MAGLDR.
When phone shuts down on reboot keep pressed power button, dont release until you see MAGLDR menu (10 menu points if i right).
Install you preferred nand rom how rom guide tell.
After install phone reboots.
Enjoy your fresh android rom install!
Sorry ClydeB1, you was again faster!

[Q] Magldr?

How do I get into magldr again?
If I hold volume down and power on button, it goes to screen with 4 colors.
What do I do then? Already got all the addons such as hspl installed.

Hi, just hold the power button longer, also magdlr is shown on the device.

Did that, and nothing.
I do see magldr when starting it up normally though. It boots an old rom that I don't want.

Anyone at all?

So when the phone powers up, you're holding the power button, and the menu still doesn't show up? Well then, reinstall MAGLDR though the tri color screen then, it won't wipe your current android data, dun worry. Or you can task 29, install MAGLDR, then reinstall your android build.

Switch the phone on and keep holding the power button in until you get to the menu.

It does kinda show up though, for 3 seconds and then it will say go go go!
it's booting up a old rom though.

This worked! thank you sir.

If you hold volume down and power on button you will enter bootloder (spl 2.08 )
If you switch off your device and switch it back on AND NOT LET GO OF THE POWER BUTTON, you will inter magldr menu.

You need to keep the power button pressed in until it boots into the menu, don't let it go until you see the menu options.
Edit: Ok, see you got it working.

Lawl that's hilarious. xD
I'm sorry, just found this funny. xD

[Q] Cannot acces Tricolor screen. Stuck at in MAGLDR

Long story short, I was attempting my second flash. I followed the steps before and everything was going fine. Now right before i open CWM to install android the MAGLDR ( which is version 1.13 ) gets stuck at "123456GOGOGO".
Now i thought maybe i would start my proccess over but I cannot acces the tricolor screen. I wasnt able to do this in the beginning of my proccess either, when i pulled up my HSPL program on my desktop my computer entered the tricolor screen on its own and I proceeded from there.
Basically i have looked around and have found some ways out of the GOGOGO problem, yet I cannot acces the Tricolor screen using hardware buttons so I am stuck. And its not a hardware issue. In MAGLDR the Vrockers work fine and before I did anything the rockers were working fine in Windows 6.5.
Any Ideas? I have a feeling i got a pretty nice paperweight now.

the normal way to enter the tricolor screen is to turn the phone off then hold the volume down button and momentarily hit the power button.
Also, To keep from getting to the 123456 GOGOGO hold the power button while it is booting normally and you will get to the MAGLDR menu and there you can go to the AD Recovery and flash a new rom.

pull your battery,
put it back in,
hold down volume and power button,
and theres your tricolor screen

True i know about to Volume Down and power key to enter Tricolor, but for some reason with my phone that does not access the Tricolor, tried it many times.
Holding the power button while it booted made no difference.
*******I followed these steps for flashing my rom:*****
First, you need your files!
HSPL4
MAGLDR 1.13
Clockworkmod Recovery
Download a ROM of your choice, I prefer Hyperdroid
Unzip only the first 3 files, and place the ROM zip on your SD card.
So, here we go!
Remember to back up all of your contacts and any data stored on the phone that you want to keep, because you will be wiping windows off ENTIRELY.
HSPL4-
Plug in your phone.
Right click the HSPL4 file and select "Run as Administrator"
Go through the screens, then when it's connecting to your phone your phone will go into bootloader (red, blue, and white screen)
Select HSPL 2.08 when it comes up, hit next. Let it work.
It'll popped up saying "We hacked it!", and you'll see it on your phone. Click yes, then ok and you're done with this step! Phone will restart.
MAGLDR 1.13-
After phone's restarted, go to the MAGLDR folder, right click "ROM Update Utility", and Run as Administrator.
Checkmark the necessary boxes to continue through steps. Then click "Update", then click next through screens.
Once it starts updating ROM image, it taks about 2 minutes. Then click finish.
Phone will reboot into MAGLDR.
Navigate MAGLDR using the volume up and down keys. Use the green button to select (you may have to click twice).
(At this part in the video I uploaded the ROM zip, I'm assuming you already loaded it though, so skipping on).
Flash Clockworkmod_150
Scroll down on MAGLDR to option 5 "USB Flasher". Don't select it yet.
On your computer, go to the Clockworkmod folder, right click the DAF file and run as administrator.
Click next until it gets to waiting for USB.
Now press the green button to put it in the mode.
Text will start to appear on the phone screen, and the Clockworkmod flasher will do its work.
Once done, click finish, and MAGLDR will reboot. It may say something like "kernel fail", it's normal, don't worry about it.
Scroll down to number 8 "AD Recovery", select it.
It'll say Go Go Go Go, and then you'll be in Clockworkmod Recovery!.
****************************************************
BUT! at this point i get stuck in GOGOGO and i have to remove battery.
I JUST got this phone and really want to atleast get it back to Windows Mobile so i can restart my flash.

read the link in my signature...i was there and few of the folks succeeded after completing the process

Hoping it wouldnt come to this but looks like i dont have a choice, hopefully I get a try your method out tomorrow since the success rate looks promising, Ill get back with the results!

Try to reset your phone. Push the red little button on the back near the SD card

I have the HD2 open and have removed the flex cable at the bottom of the phone yet when i connect USB it auto boots so i have to power it down and to do that i have to connect flex cable. once i have the cable connected i power down then i hold the volume button and before i can restart the phoen autoboots from the USB being plugged in so im in a loop.
But i cant boot without the USB being in so Im in a pickle. Again

Try this:
- Hold down the vol_down button and don't let go.
- connect the usb, don't let go of the vol_down button
- should go into bootloader
- now let go of the button.

Nope that didnt work either, any OTHER reason my phone wouldnt acces the Tricolor screen? Ive tried everything 100 times.
