by the way-
as i remember( i didn.n use blkstone for ages);
to enter bootloader on blkstone- just hold down volume btn and press and hold a bit power btn
- so "mariansony" u r absolutly RIGHT,
Ur problem "mariansony" might be.... take a look at the volume buttons under back batt cover.
you will see :
A\both- up and down btns are coated in black,
B\ one or both are well used,so you can see metal contacts....
if A applies -try HR than again
if B applies- u must press down button with no back cover on , use more pressure ,ideally with help of som metal stick (come on,bend fork's "middle finger" )
hope this will get u to btldr

Thanks very much.
what 'nasty' program was this so we can all avoid it?
Hi,
I'm trying to hard reset my HD2 so I can return it clean (expansys is going to send me a new one since this one has a lot of background noise during voicecalls)
I've followed htcwiki instrucions (hold down vol up and down and then press the end button shortly).
Right now my phone is ON with 4 color stripes (red,green,blue and white) and on top it says
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-1.42.0000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30
and on the bottom it says only "Serial".
Is it doing the hardreset or something is wrong ? How much time will it take ?

You just set your device in "flash" mode, "serial" tell you that the usb cable is not connected.
Thanks !
Maybe I did something wrong. I'm going to try again
All Settings>Systems>Erase Storage does about the same thing... Wiping your device that is.
I somehow haven't figured out how to hard reset either. It says press up AND down volume but it's a toggle? So I can press either up or press down but not both at the same time?
Is there something I'm completely missing because I feel like an idiot

It's not actually a toggle, but it does feel like one. It's just a plastic bar sat over 2 seperate buttons. You just hold the top and the bottom of it down.
Hard reset
Below are instructions from the manual.
I had trouble working out how to reset my HD, but after doing it the first time it was very easy.
When they say, "with the phone turned off", they mean press & hold end button & choose Power off. Next, press up & down vol buttons and then press end again(short press) and the rest.
To perform a hard reset
1. [FONT=Gotham Light,Gotham Light][FONT=Gotham Light,Gotham Light][FONT=Gotham Light,Gotham Light]With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then press the END/POWER button shortly and release it. You will then see this message on the screen.
[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Courier New,Courier New][FONT=Courier New,Courier New][FONT=Courier New,Courier New]This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]2. [FONT=Gotham Light,Gotham Light][FONT=Gotham Light,Gotham Light][FONT=Gotham Light,Gotham Light]Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]3. [FONT=Gotham Light,Gotham Light][FONT=Gotham Light,Gotham Light][FONT=Gotham Light,Gotham Light]Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

Ah ok, that explains... perhaps I'm going to give it a try again later on.
Cheers for the replies!

I wouldn't want to break my volume toggle button since that is what it is in my opinion, a toggle.
Maybe you can bend the knob enough to push in both microswitches underneath but it doesn't feel like the right thing to do to me...
Running All Settings>System>Erase Storage effectively does the same thing IMHO, and you don't have to break your volume button ;-)
Hi there, i am newbie. and i think i have read a lot of here to effort to revive my device.
The device wouldn't weak up again after upgrading ROM to winmo 6.5. during ROM updating, the progress was not shown on the device, and suddently reported that updating failed. Since then i can not effort to do run on bootloader mode, even i follow to press volume down + soft reset.
can anyone help me, please.
Tx.
There are many ways to enter the bootloader (from the wiki http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:HTC_Elf.png):
Hold down the camera button and reset device with the stylus. Keep holding the camera button until you see 'tricolor' bootloader screen.
-An alternative way to enter bootloader:
Switch the device off by long pressing O/I (power) button. hold down the camera button while pressing the O/I button about 1 second. Keep holding the camera button until you see 'tricolor' bootloader screen.
=Alternative(universal?) bootloader(3)
As almost all htc smartphones with onboard camera, when you push and hold the camera(photo) button, and plug in usb adapter. Even a "stupid" usb power adapter will work.
Good luck!

Phone is super slow and the sound is messed up. I want to switch the phone back to original state with WM installed.
I cannot seem to get the phone back in tri color mode.
Power + Volume brings aMAGLDR V1.13
What am I doing wrong? Is there any other way to force the phone in tri color boot mode?
Thanks,
make sure phone is off then only press volume - button and then press power button.
it sounds like your waiting to long to hold the vol down and power button. you need to do that before the splash screen pops up, if the splash screen shows up its already to late. pull the battery out & then place it back in..hold power for just a split second and then press vol down. im not sure why but this seems to boot a little quicker for me doing it this way then holding power and vol down at the same time from the start.
Still no luck.
Remove the battery.
Press and hold "Vol down" key
Press Power for 2 sec.
Wait for 10 + sec. nothing happens.
Press and hold "Vol down" key
Press Power for 4 sec.
Wait for 10 + sec. nothing happens.
Press and hold "Vol down" key
Press Power for 8 sec.
Wait for 10 + sec. nothing happens.
Phone powers up.

Guy....just HOLD VolDown and press SHORT power button.
Are you sure your volume down button works?
It doesn't matter if you short press or long press the power button it works either way the main thing is the phone has to be completely off before first pressing and holding the volume down button and while it is still down press the power button and keep the volume down pressed until bootloader screen appears.
You can also try, with the phone off or on, press the volume down button and then press something into the reset button under the battery door quickly and keep holding the volume down button.
If none of these work let me know exactly what happens after you try these. Where does it go, does it start Android?

It looks like the problem is the volume button.
I let the phone boot normally.
I noticed if I press the volume up button then the animation for vluome come up on the screen but if I press the volume down button animation does not appear.
Therefore, when I hold the volume down and press reset button, phone boots normally. I guess I am out of luck?
I am not sure how to bypass this problem but there have been others with your same problem search the other general forums for volume down button broken or something like that and I am sure there is some way to remap your buttons
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
I don't think that you can remap it so it works on that early time on bootup.

Try to hold down both UP + DOWN vol and then press POWER. Keep on holding it until you see the TRI color screen. This is a hard reset method, hope this works.
Just curious what ROM you currently running on the phone?
when in magldr can you scroll down? if so then the volume down works. magldr wont let you charge the phone in an off state so if you can scroll down. shut off phone or pull battery and wait like 15 seconds, than hold down the volume button than plug the phone in and you should be in tri-color screen if not than you need a new phone. hope this helps a little.
Hi!
I have an Htc Hd2 and years ago i saw the DFT Nand android, and i installed it... The HSPL, the aMAGLDR... I installed the android using the aMAGLDR usb flasher... Some months ago the screen had to be replaced, i did it myself and after that i decided to install the Windows Mobile 6.5, the original rom but... To install the WM6.5 i have to do volume down + power, to go to that color screen and when it says usb just run the rom.. the problem is that when i press volume down + power the color screen does not show, it just goes to the aMAGLDR.. I checked my volume rockers and they work fine...
And with the android rom installed i can not reinstall the HSPL.
please, help me.
just hold volume down and plug usb while holding it (or to charger) and bootloader should appear

Hi, Gilbert32!
Thank you for your reply but unfortunately didn't help. That colorful screen still doesn't show up.
I don't know if it is related but, my screen had to be replaced, i did it myself and i can't get the colorful screen anymore since then...
My phone buttons are all working fine and the volume rockers are good too... I don't know what happened!
Any other sugestion would be welcomed.
and thank you.
and sorry for my english... I am from Portugal!
well, try holding volume down and just press power button, like if you'r going to lock the screen. only a simple press, no need to keep holding the power button

Once again, thank you for your time!
I've tried that before and tried it now again and it just does the same thing.. it's like i don't press the volume down, it just loads the android rom... and if i hold the power button with the volume down it goes to the MAGLDR, where is the "usb flasher" and the other options..
whatever i do holding the volume down it's like i'm not holding it, it's like it doesn't work.. but in the rom itself i can up and down the volume and in the MAGLDR i can go up and down through the options with no problem.. so i guess there is no problem with my volume controller.
thank you!
