My HTC glacier won't boot alone..!
Once I turn off my device and try to start it again, it goes inmediatly to the fastboot mode.
I have to connect it to the computer and use the adb command (fastboot reboot) to make it start.
Everything else works fine..
Any ideas what could be wrong..? and how to fix it..!?
It has CM7 for a while now..
Thx in advance for your help.!
Perhaps your volume rocker is malfunctioning?

I would say the volume button also

Your Volume Down button is probably jacked up as the others said. Check if you have anything stuck I'm there. If not, perhaps just changing the rocker may help.

I can't boot into recovery using power button/volume down combo. Is there a way to reset so I can boot from hardware keys again?

Worked for me too! Thanks man!
For anyone else looking for a solution to this problem where the battery replacement doesn't work, such as a busted volume down button or something...
IF you can get the phone started at all, you can use the ADB shell to reboot into recovery.
Now you might have other issues after that if you can't use certain buttons to navigate the bootloader menu. But if for example you just want to return the device to stock for a warranty exchange and you have a bad volume down button, you can reboot into recovery using ADB then you should only need your volume UP button to initiate the flashing of the PD15IMG file.
So there's limited usage for this technique, but it'll work wonders when you need it.
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.

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.
My friends Mytouch 4g crashed today. It will only boot into bootloader and Fastboot, which I thought was fine, but the hardware buttons aren't working so I can't navigate to factory reset or anything. The phone is stock, s-on, not rooted, and they have never had problems with the hardware buttons before. Is this thing able to be saved? Thanks in advance!

The only buttons that work in the bootloader are volume and power. Use the volume buttons to scroll and the power button to select.

Are you saying ALL the hardware buttons? Or just the five at the bottom.. try what teejay said about using the volume buttons. If you can get into boot loader, then the volume buttons should work.
Sent from my HTC Glacier Sense 3.5 using xda premium
Both volume buttons and the power button do not work. Can the other buttons also be used to navigate in the bootloader?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk
Just saw what teejay said, so if the power button and volume buttons are the only way to navigate in bootloader, I'd need to push an RUU via ADB, correct? Will I be able to do that without the volume and power buttons working?

Stock non rooted son.... Call Tmobile.
Its weird how you can get to bootloader but can't navigate with volume and power which are the same buttons to boot into bootloader.

Thats what I was thinking lol. I told my friend to just call t mobile and get it taken care of. I'm still curious how you could go about fixing this sort of issue tho.

+1 on that...
i was wondering that as well lol
Maybe he did adb reboot bootloader or just reboot bootloader in terminal emulator?
EDIT: I just tried in TE and SU is required to use reboot bootloader command. Hmm. I got the impression this thing wasn't rooted. Is it?
EDIT: I'm a douche. It crapped out and only boots to bootloader. I should read harder. Warranty?

I think one of the HW buttons (most probably VolDown or trackball) got stuck on. If I remember correctly, in this case the rest of the buttons won't cause any reaction.

I did notice that just holding the power button takes me straight to fast boot, whereas volume down + power goes to bootloader like normal. What button combo is needed to go straight to fastboot?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk
Power+trackpad, I believe...
Ok, phone is no longer under warranty, so Im going to try to get the phone going again if possible. I'm guessing my only real option is adb, but how am I to select apply update once I push the ruu?

ADB won't help you. If you have a physical problem that won't allow you past bootloader - you'll have the phone booting to bootloader whatever you do, and while you'll probably be able to force boot by using "fastboot boot your_local_kernel_image" command (if you're S-OFF and on engineering bootloader), some ROMs might not boot or not work properly with a stuck trackpad.
If the problem is physical - you'll need to disassemble the phone and fix it physically.
Phone is s-on and using the stock bootloader, not an eng bootloader. Is there an adb command to force a factory reset? Or is it possible to gain s-off and root with the phone like this and then try and force boot with that command?

I'm just brainstorming, trying to figure something out. When I get off work tonight I'm going to mess with it, maybe hop in an irc channel for help.. gonna at least try to fix it

I bought a mytouch 4g off CL 6 months ago. From the description it sounded like they tried to root and got stuck on fastboot. I bought it thinking I would flash it and all would be ok. Well, it had the EXACT same issue as you are describing. After a few weeks of playing with it, I sent it in to HTC for their $35 repair. They sent it back in working condition and did not charge me since it was still under warranty.
So, I conclude from that HTC would charge the $35 for non-warranty repair of the same issue.
That is probably the only route you can take that involves making that phone functional. However, I am no mt4g root expert.
OK, I have what looks like a Serious problem. My Volume Down key doesn't work but up until about 20 minutes ago it really didn't matter that much. Well now after flashing a new rom, my phone just sits at the splash screen and won't boot. Normally I would just boot into recovery and try again, but with no Volume Down key how do I get into Recovery? I sure hope someone out there has the answer because I am starting to panic.
Try pressing the back button thats how i get into recovery

With the new roms out I am trying them all. But when I try to restore my rom volume down and power my phone just restarts. What am I doing wrong? Also when I try to make a nandroid back up with vol dn and power I dont see that option. I do have rom manager on my phone Ive been told to not trust rom manager so Im trying to do it manually but?
After removing and reinserting your battery you're pressing volume down and power (at the same time) until it you see the white HTC screen?

That will get you to your bootloader and from there to recovery. Sometimes it's the simpleless thing, or just one missing step, that can something frustrating. Glad I could help.

Go into Menu*Settings*power and tick off Fast Boot and you wont have to do a battery pull anymore, then you can power down then got into hboot. But i bought the best app ever, called reboot scheduler and i use that as a 4-1 reboot since we dont have it on the doubleshot :-/

there is a app called quick boot on the market its free and you can choose to reboot recovery bootloader or power off works great and its free
