I'am trying to install the latest android on my HD2, and all techniques i found in here require that i go to boot-loader screen (CLK Or MAGLDR) using volume down and power button, but my volume down doesn't work (v up works), is there any way around it?
Same here

I have the same problem. Did you find any solution to this?
I had this problem once before but also included my hang up and menu button. I never did find a fix myself so ended up changing the NAND which sorted it so I assume it was something to do with the 1 I had although I can't remember the name of it to see if you guys have the same 1

Hi all !
I can't enter the bootloader screen (screen with blue, green and red stripes) by pressing the volDown key after a soft reset. The phone simply boot on the rom and don't let me see the desired screen.
Is someone can help me to retrieve access to the bootloader screen ?
Radio 2.10.50.8
ROM EnergyRom GTX [13th may 2010]
it shuold be as simple as holding down vol key when powering it on...like you are doing.
u really shutted it fully down and powered on again? or just softreseted via software?
I have tested the two solutions ... I also turn off the device for one day and turn it on pressing the volDown key ... the result was the device booting normally !

mmh.. and if u want to hard reset ur phone? i mean.. when u press both, volume up and down at the start.. does atleast the hardreset screen appear?
No It change nothing ... I really can't access this screen anymore. I try also to upgrade to HSPL 2.X but the issue persists
Oo thats weird.. for what do u need the screen anyway?
i would flash a new rom maybe.. so the prob could be solved that way, but i really dont know if that will help >.<
try it with the battery cover off to get a better press
power off
press and hold and keep holding vol down
press and release power KEEP PRESSING VOL DOWN
only release vol once three colored screen shows.
samsamuel, I flash my HD2 more and more but since I test the radio 2.10.50.XX, the device just boot normaly and it not let me enter the bootloader screen (I keep the volDown key during booting after turn on the device like you said)
Darksorrow, I need to get back to radio 2.08.50 because the 2.10.50 sucks my battery very quickly ... :'( I'll try to flash the device with an other ROM ... with luck It could give me back the access to bootloader ...
the rom can't affect the bootloader in the same way that your installed operating system on your pc can't affect the bios.
even if you wipe the rom completely you can still enter bootloader.
anyway best of luck.
edit - in using same radio as you.

Thanks for the information and after flashing I understand that the bootloader still unavailable by pressing down the volume down button ... Is it possible that this was and hardware problem even if volume keys works well in Sense?

Its possible, but unlikely.
I dont mean to sound like i dont believe your results, but i cant help the feeling that you arent doing it right.
Every post so far where someone couldnt enter bootloader / start a hard reset has been down to the order of pressing and the length of the press.
Its usually that they are
1 - pressing and holding both power and vol
or
2 - releasing vol down when they release power
or
3 - not pressing vol hard enough (this is where the battery cover off helps, it allows the button to press more firmly.)
or
4 - pressing power before they press and hold vol.
all of which will fail to enter bootloader.
ill repeat the process, just for clarity.
power off the phone
press hold and keep holding 'vol down'
tap and release power BUT keep vol down pressed
release vol down when the three coloured screen appears.
any more than that i cant suggest, sorry.
Here you go. Give this a shot. Run the cab on your device and there will be a shortcut in your start menu to take you to bootloader
It works fine. Thank you.

Thanks a lot this work for me too !
@samsamuel : I understand the way you explain me Even if I kept the vol down touch after powering the device I just see the device booting on ROM ...
I have one more question, do you think I can perform a format (with MTTY) considering the fact that I can't access to bootloader at startup ? I hope this work but the risk is that I can't never install a ROM after formatting if I still can't access to bootloader by pressing volume down at startup ....
Thanks Zelender, the file works wonderfully. ...and yes, I'm sure I was using correct procedure to enter bootloader as I had done it before.
I have a similar situation, but I have a Nexus One. I know this is not the area for the N1, but this is the only place where someone is having the same issue of not being able to go to the bootloader. I press vol down while hitting power button. This would always give me the boot loader menu, but instead it just boots to the OS.
Any way I can regain access to the bootloader, because my os is messed up and my radio isnt operating.
Thanks
Hum ... I just process an task 29 via MTTY and the result is .... "phone sent for repair" so for those who have the problem, DO NOT EXECUTE TASK 29 or you'll have a blank phone and you'll can't install new ROM.
I can't return to winmo rom.

I've the same problem as Fl3ek : I flashed a nand android rom with magldr and I can't return to bootloader mode and I can't make a hard reset. The only thing working is magldr but only for flashing nand android roms (i tried 3 of them : they all work ).
Is there an APK like bootloader.cab ? Or a program to flash or activate bootloader in nand with magldr ?
I tried quick boot with bootloader option but it does'nt work.
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
will do it via system sounds.....
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...
or am i bricked?
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.
http://www.google.nl/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=htc+enter+boot+cab
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 all,
While fixing my broken LCD+digitizer, I broke the flex cable for volume up/down part of the flex. My HD2 is working fine except the volume up/down buttons.
It's a genuine HD2 for now, but I want to be able to install new roms especially Win7. But all the docs that I read here or the videos that I watched in youtube are saying use "vol down" button for 2-3 seconds to get into 3 color mode.
Unfortunately my "vol down" button does not exists as the flex going to the vol up/vol down is broken
Is there a way to get into 3 color mode to be able to install new ROMs (or HSPL if needed) without using vol down button ?
Thanks!
frm
Honestly i really doubt it, but look around or google it, you might be lucky and there might be a way.
I spent maybe hours for googling this but couldn't
hope some experts can shed a light

Actually there is .. In WiMo 6.5 Dev section I tried a few roms that had some kind of an application called EBL (Enter Boot Loader) it launches the Bootloader directly from within WinMo.
But remember I't only a temp fix .. you should replace/fix your vol
I will provide that cab whenever i find it
If you already have a custom winmo rom on phone try holding the end key, see if you have a advanced menu with bootloader option on and it will reboot phone into it.
If not, try searching for "advanced menu" or "advanced menu end key" etc and should find an installer for it.
doesn't every custom rom has an .exe. with enter bootloader?

now that you mention it, that is true, but i don't think anyone uses that cause of the fact that there button works... lol
Let's think a little further. After flashing MAGLDR, how are you going to access the "usb flasher" mode?

You're right, he can flash hspl and put custom wm65 roms on his phone and run android off of sd cards, but without a working volume button, he can't use magldr to flash nand android or wp7 builds. In fact, if he flashes magldr, which I think he can still do, he will be stuck with just magldr and be unable to do anything or flash anything... and unable to get back into the boot screen to flash back to any wm65 roms.
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.
I have been trying to nand install android on my HD2 but everything i do failed.
Before i continue i would like to set the HD2 back to factory default (wm6.5) but no i can not get in the multicolored bootloader screen. aMagldr V1.13 is installed and when i start the phone holding down the power button it starts aMagldr and not the original bootloader screen so i can;t install wm6.5. The only OS i can install is Windows Phone 7 but i do not want to use that system.
Ihope someone can help me with my problem, i have been surfing this forum for the last 5 days but can not find what i am doing wrong. I hope i have given enough information.

yes, because thats how you start magldr, , , with power held.
Bootloader however you hold VOLDOWN, not power.
sorry, i meant to write volume button.
so just to be certain ... you are HOLDING volume down AND power/endcall TOGETHER for at least 8 seconds?
I have tried it about a thousand times in a lot of different ways.
comes up a fair bit this one, , cannot access bootloader, , , the only actual time ive seen it fixed, and i think ive seen it fixed on two separate occasions, , was dismantling it and disconnecting the bottom hard keys., , not that i'm recommending you do that, of course.
