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 ....

Hi everybody,
First, sorry for my poor english, i try to explain the best i can.
My HD2 is on one of the first Phone 7 release 01/2011 ago.
I want go back on stock rom, cause recently, i've a bug, my phone can't boot. It stay on Phone7 logo and next reboot.
Without my SD card, the phone boot, but it's in english, and My computer recognyze it on " Windows Phone7 " with yellow exclamation point.
I've tried to flash 6.5 stock rom with usb cable, but it's said it can't connect the device.
To go on flash screen, i push reboot+power off+ vol down button. Next on emagldr 1.13 screen, i select "5.usb flasher".
Next i can check on my computer's now recognyzed as " Microsoft USB Sync", but the stock rom still not abble to work:" no phone response, check usb cable"
I'm sure that my usb cable is working.
Any suggestion ?
You might try going into the normal bootloader, not into MAGLDR.
Push both vol. down and power buttons until the device starts into the multicolor bootloader screen, then connect the USB cable.
If you didn´t change your PC, it should now be able to connect via ActiveSync.

Thanx for your answer, i think the bug is here i cannot enter normal tri-color bootloader, it doesnt work :s
When i do power+ vol down until the device start, i first have a blank Htc screen maybe 1sec, and quikly next boot menu from MAGLDR 1.13
However, i'm sure that my Vol Down button work, it works on magldr menu.
try pulling out the battery, then hold down the two volume buttons, as hard as you can safely get away with, pop the battery back in whilst still holding buttons down, if it doesnt start tap the power button. keep holding down the buttons through out the whole process until it comes on.
if you can read the content of your sd card in pc then you can flash WinMo6.5 rom via sd card.... :
- go to HTC website, download appropriate rom for your HD2 with your s/n
- extract NBH file from downloaded ROM (can be done with 7-zip, Winzip...)
- rename extracted IMG file to LEOIMG.NBH
- copy that file to SD card
- boot your HD2 with SD card while holding VOL DOWN
- you should see a flash menu appear, press VOL DOWN again (if i remember.. ) and you'll flash 6.5 rom
- that's it, you'll have new instance of WinMO 6.5, with stock SPL, without MAGLDR and ANY trace of WP7.-..
oh, if you dont see anything on your SD card or you cant copy to it, it is locked and you have to format it either with some utility or in a Nokia N, E series phone... I know for a fact that N79 works
this should do the trick...

huh, must be that i'm blind missed it completely
Thx for taking time to help me,
So, if i push vol up and down, i 've a screen, next the screen loading wph 1,2,3,4 Go.
I read on it "This operation will 1.delete all your personal data, and reset all setting to manufacturer default. 2. Calculate CRC checksum. Press Voldown to restore manufacturer default, or press Vol Up to get CRC, or press other keys to cancel".
But,
Nothing happend if i press vol down, or volUp or other buttons :s
Maybe we've to try another way to get into bootloader, i think my poor batterie level is bugging the bootloader.
So, I known that we can't acces bootloader via windows.
I'm on Seven x64, my hd2 is recognyzed as a phone7 Device, with a yellow "!".
If i launch HSPL 4, with administrator right, and XP SP2 compatibility level, it can't acces via USb. " no response".
Any suggestions ? May i change the driver?
right, well that proves the buttons are working, i think its just a case of not having them held in at the right time
pop the battery out, hold down the vol down button on its own and keep it held down, put the battery back in and if it doesnt restart tap the power button.
dont let go of the vol down button
Yep, i've done this maybe 30 or 40 times, no way, no bootloader.
I4ve found a thread that explain to fullu charge the battery, remove it and wait 24H before, do the operation ( vol down, putt battery still vol down, push power stil vol down) No way, this doesn't work :s
So i've order a new battery, maybe it'll resolve the problem, i hope. See when it arrive.
Oh dear, well if you definitely cant get in to bootloader and the keys do work then that's a problem, I doubt a battery will fix it but id be interested in knowing if it does work, good luck! Is been reading quite a bit about fixing devices via the wee metal points inside devices, I wonder I the points inside the hd2 will allow this...

I'm not sure i've understand all your reply Dazza, are u suggesting to check the 3 pin connector baterry on my HD2 ?
If it's this, i've already check this, the 3 pin are good, and i've put a graphyte electrical dust on it to improve the contact.
Nope, I mean if you pop the battery cover off there are 3 metal connectors next to the sim card, it seems on some devices people have found similar points and managed to connect the device to a serial port on a pc, then had direct access to the device bypassing the bootloader. I don't think anyone done this for the hd2 yet but apparently this will fix a completely bricked device

Ok ! Maybe if the new battery won't resolve, i'll try something like that
Its complicated an as far as i know its not been done for the hd2, im not even sure that's the correct points but its a possibility. There are another 2 points on the opersite side to the volume buttons under the battery cover.

Hi, sorry for my really bad english. Im Argentinian. I have a little problem.
I cant enter in the flash mode, dont work the volume keys in my HD2, i cant navigate the MAGDLR menu, and its impossible install another ROM, a few months ago installed WP7 for testing the touchscreen (didnt work, replace it) but now dont work the volume keys and really want to go back to android.
There's another way to enter the flash menu??
thanks! and again sorry for the bad english
I have been hanging around the HD2 forums for a little over a year now and this problem has came up several times. And I have not read of any work around for getting into the bootloader without working volume up and down buttons and no Windows Mobile on the HD2.
Even if there was a work around to get to the bootloader, once you flash MAGLDR you can not use the volume buttons to scroll through the menu of MAGLDR. And it doesn't stop there you would also have to have the volume buttons to flash a Android ROM via Clockwork Mod Recovery.
So My advice to you is to see about getting the volume buttons fixed or get a new device. Sorry but that is the hard facts.
Edit
10chars
I understand you have good intentions, but the reason you were having problems to begin with is because you are accessing Clockworkmod in the wrong way.
When flashing any ROM, you should never have the USB cable connected. Bringing up Clockworkmod by connecting the USB cable when the phone is off *WILL* lead to problems -- never do it that way. It works sometimes but usually causes problems. The fact that Clockworkmod loads up when you connect the USB cable while the phone is turned off is actually a bug with old versions of Clockworkmod.
The CORRECT way to access Clockworkmod is to have the phone turned off completely with no USB cable connected. Hold down the volume down button and press the power button, then release the volume down button once you see the white HBOOT screen. After waiting about 10 seconds, use the volume keys to select "RECOVERY" then press the power button. You will now be in Clockworkmod.
Also, please be aware that a failed flash in Clockworkmod will NOT brick your phone at all. You don't need to be paranoid about it at all or worry about turning the phone off.
Did not know that. Thanks Drumist. Sorry, I'm a little new and couldn't find anything on this... I had to wing it.
Thanks for the enlightenment I'll use clockwork the way you described. I wanted to be safe rather than sorry!
ok i had the dreaded unresponsive swipe phone unlock, so i stripped the phone down and the flex cable was just a tad hanging out so i pushed it back in and now the touch screen is working fine.
however i have torn the volume cable so now i cant scroll up or down in magldr so i cant get into recovery to flash or backup ??
any ideas as to what i can do ?
Same Problem
Hi All,
I'm facing the same problem,
I'm not able to navigate the menu of MAGLDR
Can we change MAGLDR to use other keys instead (i.e. Volume Keys Mapping) or If there is any android touch bootloader where no need for the volume buttons,
Thanks,
