unrooting

tried to follow the directions which say to hold down the red and green buttons then push volume down then up then wipe.
when i push the red and green buttons then volume down it take me to the hboot screen and asks me if i want to upgrade.
should i just be holding the red and volume up? then wipe and install the downgrade rom just i would flash a new rom?
need to get this figured out soon. my screen is loosing touch more and more now my home, menu, and back spots are not allways working

You should go to fastboot and flash the Ruu for 2.1.

this is what i'm tryin, but step 2 is what isnt working. when i hold power on and send buttons i get nothing but a upgrade screen.
should i be holding the power on and the volume up to start. then i come to a screen with a wipe setting and i can boot the downgrade zip from there

Could I also downgrade the hboot on a rooted Eris. Would this offer any advantage or disadvantage over the hboot that came with the rooted leak v3 rom?

just go into recovery mode, which i believe is by holding vol up + power, then follow the directions from there.

Flashing WP7 without Volume Keys***STUCK NOWW!! HELP PLS

HI,
Is there a way to flash the new roms without the Volume rocker working. My phone was all good till i dropped it and the volume rocker has stopped working.
I ask tot he super minds...Is there a way to flash a rom if ones volume rocker is not working?
I looked at the ROM thread for WP7 and at one point you have to chose USB flasher via the volume key. If thats true and there is no other way then i cant instal WP7 ever..
************sigh**********
PLS help
EDIT:--- Now i am dead... installed radio....installed magldr and now cant select usb flasher mode. Damn.
Pls help

i dont think there is a way without volume down key...

How can i boot directly into boot loader without volume key??
has to be a workaround with all the smart ppl here.
XDA rulezzzzz....someone help me

if you don't have volume keys, you won't be able to change the volume in win phone :L

LOL

BUT PLSSSS someone help me instal WP& without the volume rocker working

stuck badly now
Installed magldr and now ant choose the USB flasher mood.
Pls someone help me to get back or get forward...

Really worried

You need Enter boot software.
My friend Spike advised it to me long time ago so all credits go to him for finding it.

Edit, but if you try WP7 you need to realise Enter boot won't work there so you can't go back.
Better to fix the volume keys.

Thanks for that.
The only problem is that he's already installed magldr and AFAIK there's no way to get back to WM to run the cab, unless you know of a way back that doesn't involve using the vol keys?

You need an electronics dude (like me) or some experience on how-to de-assemble at least phones anyway if you succeed on de-assembling the phone all you have to do is using a tiny pin plug it inside the volume controls you should be able to press the pcb push button and not the outside plugin
If you cant do all of this ask a friend of yours (electronics) or take to phone shop hell do it for you in exactly 30 secs

no way ...
There no way to flash WP7 without volume key ... Many rom or tool offer you
the possibility to enter directly in bootloader but after flashed MagLdr you will be stuck because you will be unable to enter in MagLdr and unable to scroll down to choice 5 (usb flash). i know it because i have the same problem ....

[Q] Volume Buttons Rooting Problem

Hi,
I know I'm new but hear me out
I own an HTC Wildfire and I'm trying to root it so I can update to either Froyo or Gingerbread, but the problem is I'm unable to use the Unrevoked method because my volume buttons are broken and they are required to make selections on the boot loader screen. Could someone tell me if there is any way in which I can root my phone and load a custom ROM onto it without needing the volume buttons to work? I can't seem to be able to fix them so I have no other alternative
Many thanks in advance!
Jack.

I am really not aware of any alternative. The Volume and the Power Key is required on the HBOOT Menu, because, apart from these 2 keys, no other keystroke is recognized on that menu.

Try trackpad and power.

Hmm.. wildfire hasn't been out for too long maybe you're under warranty and can get it fixed.
I think when I rooted my wildfire all I need was the Android driver and do the volume and power then connected to the pc to get the usb recovery and unrevoked did the rest.
Edit: have tried the trackpad and power and it does work taking you to fastboot and bootloader is available from there. So you're saved. Credit to previous post ^.

My problem isn't that I can't get onto the bootloader menu, it automatically loads when I plug it in with unrevoked. My problem is that I can't select recovery when the bootloader menu actually loads because I'm unable to use the volume keys in order to scroll down to it. So unless I'm missing something that you've told me, that doesn't solve my problem :\
EDIT: Okay, my phone is rooted now, the problem now is that I cannot select recovery in order to flash a custom ROM because I cannot scroll down to it. Any advice?

Get ROM Manager and use it's "Restart in Recovery" Feature?

You dont need the volume buttons in the recovery.you can use the track pad in the recovery. But the volume keys are needed in the hboot menu to select recovery l. I think there is no alternative. If your phone is still under warranty I recommend you flash a ruu. And give it for repair. Dont forget to tell them not to update your phone to froyo. I think you know the reason

I got ROM manager and I'm now running Cyanogen 6.1.0, I'm just having problems with the market app now. I've installed Gapps and whenever I open the market it just closes straight away. I'll try and fix it myself but if anyone can offer help than that'd be cool!

Check Sympnotic's Patched Market Thread, Try Removing the Market using the Market Remover and install again.

[Q] I need help with this bad problem

My MT4G is perm rooted running cyanogenmod 7.0.3 stable, and everytime i press the power button it boots into hboot (fastboot), and I cannot get out hboot because my volume buttons are not working so i cannot go up and down. I cant even get back to my rom. Is there any way that I can fix this? Thanks

try to boot in in recovery and run a backup (hopefully you made one) or just wipe the phone and reinstall the rom

Thanks for the help but I cant even boot it into recovery because none of the buttons work while on hboot. Is there any way to boot it into recovery without going through hboot or the rom?

I don't think you have an option here. The phone thinks the Volume Down button is being pressed, so that's why it's going into hboot. No matter what you do, it will boot into hboot until you get the volume buttons working.

Stuck at hboot fastboot

I'm not sure what happened to my friends phone but apparently it just resetted out of no where and is stuck in fastboot i think i forget which one... The one with less option.
the keys don't work.i can't click on any options with power nor move with arrow keys.
I thought I'll just load up the pd15img and it'll be good. But nope screen is stuck at fastboot without any changes.
It is s-off but 86 bootloader idk why it's not 85 but whatever.
I think it might be bricked. I'm going to see if adb detects it later tonight. If it can are there any ways to fix it?

hm well, sounds like the volume buttons are broken, that's why it always reboots into the bootloader, the phone thinks that the volume down button is pressed in. what if you connected it to computer and type?
Code:
fastboot reboot

Oh wow, noticed that my reply didn't go through.
anyways quick update. Fixed it. it wasn't the volume button. volume button would lead to hboot i think. this went straight to fastboot. I imagine it has something to do with his back button (was working, stopped working when this happened, i fixed it somehow idk)
but anyways for future reference if you get stuck at fastboot and you can't move it
Click HOME, this enables your keys
go to recovery and flash a rom.
oh i wanted to add, for some reason, his phone was like wiped clean. no os or rom. so i had to flash him a new one.

glad you fixed it
and thanks for the tip

thanks, but the home button do not enable the buttons for me

This can be caused by a stuck VolumeDown button, and in this case the Home button won't help.

Hi,
I got the same problem with my HTC Desire Z, when I turn it on, it run on fastboot and no keys respond so I'm unable to boot the phone.
If I turn it on with Vol down button hold, the phone boot on the Hboot screen and the keys don't work on this screen too...
Unfortunately, this happen yesterday night... and since this yesterday morning, the home button of my device broke down... It sounds like I'm f**ked...
Is there a way to pass througt fastboot by using the adb ? (I'm not sure my device will be recognized byt adb on fastboot mode...)
Thanks

Dang, no answers in the Desire Z section huh? It still just sounds like a stuck button. But the adb thing is worth a shot. Good luck

I've used the search function by looking for no keys responding on fastboot screen and that bring me here, in this case, nevermind the device, problem is the same.
It should be a stuck button, but I can access to fastboot or hboot depending on pressing the Vol Down button or not. Maybe the problem come from the not working center button of the Desire Z, I'll try it.

You might have to crack the phone open and manually umstick the keys at the circuit board.
