help! need to go back to stock spl but volume down+power bootloader not working!

hey,
i need to send my hd2 back for repair but unfortunately i can't get into the bootloader! volume up / down buttons do work when im in windows mobile, but when the phone is switched off, i press volume down + power button once and the phone just boots into windows mobile.
is there any other way to restore your phone to the stock spl?

You need to press Vol UP and PowerOn, not Vol Down

On my device it is PowerOn and VolDown. But I have to press and hold the VolDown button till the device is in bootloader mode.
Best regards

Do make sure you are pressing the volume down button hard enough AND for long enough.

tried it but still doesnt go into bootloader mode... i have managed to go into bootloader mode before (with several htc phones i have owned), but i think something is broken this time (my hardware sendbutton also is not working any more, that is the reason why i need to return the phone).

Try running the attached EnterBootloader.exe from your HD2 (unzip, move .exe to phone, run).

Sorry then, Vol UP has been my other phone I haven't flashed the HD2 via SD Card yet.
I just can think that you do not press the Vol DOWN button hard enough or long enough. You have to press and hold the Vol DOWN button and switch on the phone, then lift the power button while still holding the Vol DOWN button.

thank you, with this file it went into bootloader mode, but somehow my hardware-buttons seem to be broken (in win mobile all of them beside the send-button work), when it says "Press power buutton to start update image", I press the power button, but nothing happens!
I guess thats it, no chance to restore SPL and no chance for warranty any more .

Hmm, very weird.
The actual keys are obviously ok - they're just not handled while in bootloader. I'm not sure what exactly is responsible for that, I assume it's not the OS, so perhaps SPL or Radio?
Not sure if it would make any difference, but perhaps you can try reflashing the HSPL (or maybe a different radio?).

when its asking to install the rom (in bootloader) hold down volume up (or whatever key it asks you to press to install) REALLY HARD,
another suggestion, take off the back, the buttons seem easier to press when the back battery cover it off

maybe this will work
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Security > Factory reset.
2. Enter “1234 ” and then tap Yes.

Ooops!
If your power button does not work it will be impossible to flash from SD card and this is the only way top reflash a stock rom = the only way to uninstall HSPL.
But if this is the power button, then how do you already power up your device ??? Is this your reason to send it to the repair?
You seem stuck in a button my friend...

it is a real wierd problem, i can switch the phone on with the power button and when it is turned on, all keys work beside the talk(send) button. but i can not go into bootloader mode and power button / volume down button to confirm / cancel update when entering bootloader mode with bootloader.exe don't work.

you should really try to reflash radio and hspl again. if you can power on the device the hardwarebutton must work. looks like a software problem...

have you check that you vol down button is working? it happen to me before,

maybe you could contact the hspl maker if he can help you? i have in my mind that he could "hack" the procedure to NOT ask for SEND key press?

Thanks for all your replies. I left the phone off for about 4 hours charging. I switched it on press the vol down button and it worked! How weird / lucky. So I flashed a new rom and I am working again.
Thank you so much for you time.
One last thing though, now in WinMo the vol up and vol down work and the power button work. But the other 4 hardware keys don't, they just force the phone into vibrate/silent mode. When I get a phone call it also turns the volume down/off/vibrate.
Maybe a hardware failure?

[HELP] Can;t get into boot loader, phone is working though

I have a weird thing going on with my HD2.
When I soft-reset and hold down the vol down button it refuses to go into the bootloader screen, also when I try and hard reset it.
The phone boots just fine and the vol up and vol down buttons work just fine.
Any ideas?
Matt

From my knowledge you have to use both down and up volume buttons to get into bootloader screen.
By just keeping volume down it's doing hard reset.
Someone correct me if im wrong.

not needed to do it for a while but im sure its just the down key

It is just the down key, when you press down and up volume buttons then power button it gives you the option to Hard Reset.

vol up+down = hr
vol down = boot
there is a program that reboots your phone and enters boot screen. try it! it is called enter boot or something like that.
another idea is flashing another radio and/or hspl2

Others have correctly told you that it is only the volume down button to boot into bootloader mode. Switch the phone off and then while holding in the volume down button, briefly tap the power button (still holding the volume button in).
Another option if this does not work, from a downloaded rom file, run the CustomRUU.exe. It will unpack a number of files in the folder you are running it from, one of which is named EnterBootloader.exe - copy this to your sd card and run it.

You know I think it is a bit more sinister than that. I think the hardware buttons themselves are ceasing to function.
Like the the phone hardware button doesn't work in WM now.
I flashed a stock ROM and that is even worse, the vol up/down don't work either.
See the attached picture - I changed to the Titanium screen and see at the top where is has "Start". I guess that only appears when the device is doing something, like when Sense is loading. I assume something has gone wrong.
Maybe I should MTTY and see where that takes me.
Any other advice would be welcome and I understand that any actions I take on my phone are my actions and no one else is accountable.

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

Getting into recovery

How do I do this? The phone is stuck at the boot animation and i just cannot get it to do anything else, no button combo seems to work, i casnt even get it to power down properly. Never had this much trouble with a phone before.

Hi,
Power OFF your phone then:
HOW TO ENTER RECOVERY
Method 1: Hold the power button + volume down button until the LG image appears. Once it does let go of the buttons then immediately push and hold them again until recovery boots.
NOTE: The method above will arrive at the "hard reset" area, but when choosing hard reset, it will take you to CWM (without actually resetting).

Thank You, what a fiddly process!! Now restoring from backup.

^obviously doesn't understand that you cannot power your phone down properly..
Lg is a little tricky.. But.. In order to hard power down, you must hold the power button until you see the phone power off, but don't let go or it will reboot. Keep holding the power button until you see the lg logo and it will then power down completely.
To get to recovery, hold vol down+power until you see the recovery mode loading. You will see the lg splash screen first but just keeping holding the buttons.. No need to let go and then try pressing them again as the post above me stated...

Are you sure it doesn't actually reset? I'm curious ... because Ive got TWRP and just to avoid that I always reboot into recovery from the rom ... and I've just been scared whenever I see that white screen

I dont know which method you used but you need to flash a custom kernel after the rom afair. Did you flash the one?

Press and hold volume down, home button and the power key until you get to the Download mode screen.
Press volume down to restart.
Immediately press and hold volume up, home button and power button.
You will see a message about "Installing system update..." which will then change to a Recovery Mode screen.
Use the volume keys to select the factory reset option.
Press power key to confirm that choice.
Once the wipe is complete, use the volume up/down keys to select "Reboot device now" and press the power key.
