Hi Friends,
My HD2 digitizer was broken when I got it and I decided to replace the digitizer by self. Everything went well, and when I assembled the phone back I noticed that I have damaged the side volume buttons they dont click at all.
so My question is there any other way to flash roms. I currently have a android Sense 3.0 rom loaded on to it. Please advise....
No you can't that
you could just search the forums. there were some threads about broken volume buttons and as far as i can remember solutions were found for your problem.
Any thread links???? please....
boot into recovery and the HOME & WINDOWS BUTTON act as a volume up or down,so u can select what u need using these buttons
Just the same way i had damaged the front hardware keys ribbon...so none of the front five keys work....any soluion for that??

i know the volume kyes are harcoded into the rom, but, i accidentally tore apart the cable when disassemblying to change the digitizer, so is there any way to reprogram the rom to remap the volume keys in the zoom control on the digitizer?
any hints where can i start?.
thanks!

Moved to proper forum as not rom development.
Yes I have a strange problem with my HD2. When I press the back key then screen going dead and there is no response. Display is ok. Everything are running and phone don't freeze but touch function losing. If I press the power/end key to sleep the phone and wake it up again then everything are normal. LCD responding my touches and sliding screens with no problem until I press the back key.
I tried several roms with full wipe (task29) also tried stock wm 6.5 but nothing changed.
If this is a hardware problem why only occurring when i press the back key? Because everything are ok until back key.
If this is a software problem why occurring after full wipe?
I am confused and need help.

Sure it is a hardware problem, well-known for HD2's architecture!
Back & End keys are right above/overhead touchscreen contacts on LCD: after some (many) pushes on those keys, touchscreen fails eventually for good!
You should think to replace your own...
Thanks for your reply. This is bad news for me because my phone doesn't have warranty. There are some touchscreens on ebay but i confused which one is suitable for me or best quality. Some seller says lcd + digitizer or some one says just digitizer. Which one i should buy? Just digitizer or with lcd?
Best regards...

If you DIY I would recommend you the combo(LCD+touchscreen), whatever version( but I suggest you the 300 version with a clip connector between touch and LCD): it is much easier for a rookie to replace whole combo, but take care, it's not that easy!
If you go to service shop, pick a good one(it is a tricky action even for a pro) and replace just touch, they should know what version to be.
Good luck!
it's the hardware problem, the only solution is going to the HTC's service center or buying a new lcd display and replace it by yourself
Can’t believe it. I just got the same problem since yesterday. When I press the back key the screen become unresponsive. The problem appears only after, but on every press of the back key. I really cannot find what cause this.
Is it really the case that I have to fix hardware problem or there is SW solution? Anyone with experience?

too bad it is hardware ... any suggestions for app I can use?
Even if problem is there with the hardware and button, drivers are OK.. So put android sd version and use software like zmooth or button savior for onscreen soft keys.. No more need for thehard buttons
Use miui rom android, you can set volume keys to switch on screen, no need for power on key
I have never used my hard back key in probably a year's time!

+1 on zmooth, been using like a year too and almost non use of hardware buttons
You need to open the phone and check the mini-flat of the hardware buttons, it is connected to a connector tries to lift the safety catch and push well helped by a small flat screwdriver.
here is a 'picture.
since yesterday, i have this nasty problem with my touchscreen. when i press the power button to wake the phone, or to get into the power-menu, the touchscreen stops working. this does no happen if i press any other button.
sometimes, i can use the phone again if i wait until the screen turns off and then wake it up by pressing any other button, but most of the time i need to pull out the battery and restart the phone. even when i pull out the battery, the screen won't work sometimes, and i have to restart the phone again.
when i first experienced this problem, i was using the nexushd2 v2.0 rom, i then updated to the v2.1, which didn't help. i tried reinstalling the rom, wiping the /data/ , the cache and the dalvik cache (multiple times) and eventually changed to the typhoon cm7 rom (with repartitioning and reinstalling the magldr), the problem is still there.
the phone did never get wet, fall down, or anything the like. pulling out the sd card makes no difference.
i hope someone can help me there
May be it´s a hardware problem, some HD2 have it.
You can test it, if you go back to windows.
its the good old digitizer its right under the power button press the end button hard and it should work again but if you press it again it will corrupt use softkey or remap your hardware buttons

Lol, I was about to do that
@OP, in future please use the search button before posting. There are far too many threads in this forum with exactly the same issue as Kamerius has just proved, so why couldn't you save both us and yourself some time and search first? Anyway, what you have is a digitizer issue, but a quick temporary solution is to simply press as hard as you physically can on the end call/power button. The screen should work after that. Use a button remapper or some sort of widget to enable you to use the phone without ever touching the end call button, and make sure to use other buttons to wake the screen.

i have the same problem with the endkey but with the rom in my sig
it actually has a softkey button that can be setup with a power softkey ..longpress on the softkey and it pulls up the power menu
just like it would do if you used the hardware power button
Yeah I thought there were softkey power buttons but I wasn't sure and I'm on my phone so couldn't be arsed to search

well, sorry dunno why i didn't search the forum before
pressing the power button hard worked , but i think i'll keep using soft buttons and wake the device pressing any other button (i don't think the brute force method is a good idea as i want to keep my phone some time longer )

I am facing the same issue except no matter how hard I press the red button....LCD doesn't works. I have even replaced the thin metal strip which rests under hardware buttons.
Anyone?
Exactly, the same issue started to happen yesterday!!!

Get the main flex cable replaced instead..
In the long run, it's not going to work out well when you need to adjust the volume during a call or such.

Hi,
Maybe you broke something while replace the camera. Does you "volume down" button work?
By the way, I found one thing on other forums which worked for some people:
"turn power off. Then push power button and volume 'up' button at the same time, until the phone starts up again"
Did you try this already?

Unfortunately it looks like hardware problem. Did you replace the camera by your own? Maybe you broke something by accident ....

Power off the phone and then power it ON by pressing Power button while holding Home button.
If you get into the download mode it will mean Vol- button problem.
It can be solved by replacing middle flame. Will cost you $12-15 if you do it yourself. You know what to do if you've replaced the camera.

The middle flame means the recent-apps and back button part?

No, it's virtually all grey and silver plastic you see.
Middle frame (example).
P.S. Samsung calls this part "rear case", but it's sold on ebay as "middle frame" or "back housing" or "bezel" (use these words for search).

Thank you very much again.
But does this means something there is broken or anything like that ? I am sure I didnt broke anything there.
The buttons themselves are inside this plastic.
I don't think you've broken something but nohing is eternal.
Look, for Vol+ and Vol- buttons to work, three "golden" connectors on main logic board (photo 1) should connect three lower connectors on bezel flex cable (photo 2) and three upper connectors on bezel flex cable should connect three connectors on middle frame (photo 3).
If you've replaced the camera then you know how to disassemble the phone and can check yourself what is out of order in this part of the device.
