Enter Bootloader without VOL DOWN

Hi all,
my HTC is broken as the vol down hardware button is not working. I was arguing is there's some way to enter bootloader without it. Please also note that I'm unable to start Windows Mobile as the phone is formatted.
Thank you !!

Seems no way ?

does your phone boot?
an easy way to get there is to start flashing a rom it will kick you to the boot loader ...
But there are some endkey replacements that have the option to restart in the boot loader ...

Hi,
thank you for your reply. Unfortunately the phone has been Task 29 Formatted so it's unable to boot to OS. These "End key Replacement" sounds good. What are they ment for?
I've disassembled the phone and found out that the flex cable of VOL Keys is broken. So NO VOL DOWN. Just ordered a new flex cable from China, but it will take ages to get to Italy.
Any help much appreciated

Using one of them you can go into bootloader mode.I prefer endkey.

well your phone has to boot to use the endkey replacements ...
even if it was task29 if you run the rom installer it it should kick you into the boot loader, but I am not sure about that, does the PC detect the phone over usb, or you could flash from the SD card ...

No USB detection... No Bootloader, No Reset, No OS.
I suppose that to flash from SD Card you need to get into the Bootloader, right?
Thanks (almost desperate)

Just Called HTC support... they say to leave the phone without battery for 2 hours and hope to spawn a hardware reset... will this work :/ ?

Waited 2 hours: NO JOY.
Anyone?

Not sure if it will work or but have you tried an app like everyWAN remote support personal edition?
It basically connects to phone and gives you a view of it via your PC I know you can reboot from pc etc and changes key preferences so maybe you could change the down key config
maybe wont work if you have no OS though but worth a shot the app i use is from sparus-software.com
hope that will help

I do not believe you need to enter the bootloader to flash from the SD card, search the forum for it but , If I remember use a fat32 formated sd card, use a 4 gig if you have an extra one, the ones that come with the phone seem to be flakey when it comes to flashing ..., and if memory serves me put the nbh in the root of the card and name it leoimg.nbh

Hi Thank you for your suggestions... unfortunately it seems the only way to flash for SD is with bootloader... just tested

Phone Not Working Anymore! PLS Help!

My phone was working well. Then i installed the new rom from mdj, CM7.
At first it was working good, but then i plugged my phone to pc but it wasnt recognized anymore. So i wanted to change back to another rom. No matter what i did my pc and my netbook didnt recognize my phone anymore. then i tried to update the rom with CW and a fixed rom from CM7. Since then my phone tells me theres nothing to boot in nand. And pc still not recognizing my phone. Pls help me guys. im trying to fix this since 3 hours but nothing works...pls help me.

power off your phone (pull battery and put it back in)
hold volume down and power button until you get to the tri colored screen
plug the usb into the computer
flash over any RUU

i tried that allready but as i said pc dont recognize as usb...so at the screen it says serial and not usb...but still i tried to install it and it didnt work

When i boot the phone it says...nand kernel open failed...is there a way to install a nand rom completely over CW?

Then is sounds like your pc has the prob not the phone.
Reboot PC and also try re-instaling Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync depending on what version of windows you have.

sry i should have tell that too...i have windows 7 and mobile device center...i restarted pc a few times allready reinstalled the program too...but when it comes to installing device driver it tells me it couldnt be installed...and i dont know what to do

Trying flashing your official WM Rom through SDcard. Once you are back in WM, you can flash your desire NAND Rom.

i took the ruu_signed.nbh from an official rom named it to leoimg.nbh and put it on my sd...started the phone with volume down and power...it is updating
radio-ok
rcust-ok
bootloader-ok
splash-ok
os-
configdata-
the first time the update didnt work and now its updating again and i hope it will finish and make it work again and not cancel again...
thank u for the advice...maybe it will work

better fully uninstall mobile device center using softs like your uninstaller and alike to totally clean the installation then plug in usb. Then let Windows 7 do its job in installing the driver.

i cant believe it :S for real i cant believe it...i just changed the usb cable and tried with it :S and it worked :S the driver got installed and now its working :S now thats curious...not working with original cable anymore but with a cable from the nokia n97 :S

Magldr help

Guys can somebody help me? I'm trying to install this ROM and when I'm at the part where it says "Waiting for USB connection..." and box pops up and says "The application has failed to start because RAPI.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem." How do I install RAPI.dll? Also right now my phone is in MAGLDR v1.12 and it's stuck at the USB Flasher mode screen saying "Wait USB...". Can I just take out my battery and power on and it will boot in to the previous NAND ROM I had on my HD2?
I've put a picture up of all the files that came with the download. I don't know what I'm doing! I'm new to this stuff.

Dont worry.
Press the power button and you will go to magldr menu.
Did you run daf.exe with right click and run as administrator?
If you did and it stil wont install, try unpacking the file you downloade again.
Did you connect the usb cable to the phone, before runing daf.exe?
Sorry, had to ask

I tried the power button and it wouldn't go back.
Luckily, I used a different computer and it's installing as we speak. Pheeeewwww!
I didn't even have a .daf file. Only the ones I included in the post above.
If there's any problems, I'll get back on here.

Were you by chance using WinXP on the original PC? Many versions seem to need drivers installed for it to work, while it generally works without such on Vista & Win7.

RAPI.dll (Remote API) is included with ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center. I guess the original machine didn't have the relevant one of them installed, or it did and for some reason RAPI.dll was missing/knackered. (This is just for future reference if anyone comes across this thread looking for possible answers.)
Glad it's working now

Hmmm guess what? I'm stuck flashing a new ROM now. It comes up and says "Wait USB... USB"
But the ROM won't flash?

And when you start installer.exe - run as administrator - it stays on "waiting usb connection?
Check if active sync has "allow usb connections" dissabled! This is if you are on XP.
If this doesn't work, try another build and see what happens.

Thank you for all your help kind sir! I didn't know yo could take the battery out while in MAGLDR. Rookie mistake.
I've thanked all your posts in this thread. Thank you!

Just a quick thing.... it's installing on MAGLDR, the ROM I had before had Partitions for DATA2SD, this one doesn't so I formatted it with one singled FAT32 partition. Now on MAGLDR it says, PARTITION LAYOUT NEW
Do you want to reserve date? Do I save it, clear it or abondon flashing?

I clicked to save it. Hopefully I didn't do the wrong thing.

By saving the old data you might get errors - Force Close applications - later on when the Android system loads.
If mistakes happen you will have to format the card again - properly - and reflash clean.
What build are you flashing?

Will do. The ROM I was flashing was a clean gingerbread, now I'm using FutureShock MIUI. Recommend it!
Btw, do you install WP7 the same way as you do an Android ROM? Or is it a whole different process?

It's the same, there is a whole thread about WP7. It should be easy, just remember that WP7 formats your card with it's own partition and then if you want to go back to Android you have to reformat gain.
Take it easy.

NEW TO THIS Please help..
I have rooted, flashed, modded, and repaired dozens of android native phones...
this one was quite different.. However.. i was able to successfully run Android 2.3 on one of my friends HD2's,, and another one is giving me HELL and back..
I had what i thought was stable Android 2.3 ROM after flashing DESIRE HD ROM through Clockwork.. I've been testing ROM's on this phone for a few days.. and today i decided to try to turn on the phone.. every time i turn it on... (tried hard reset),, i get to aMAGDLR V1.11 screen that is BLANK!!! ALL BLACK!!!
I do not know how to actually get the phone to turn on from this point. It is a tmous hd2 and i did flash a ".50" spl and whatnot... but today, this morning.. it decides to act up and i don't know what to do! any one have any ideas?

Help me please to fix my phone

My phone got a little liquid on it and after that it frozen so I did a soft reset and now my phone is freezing on android boot screen every time. The problem is what my MAGLDR is not working properly now too and my ClockworkMod Recovery is not working at all, so I don't know how to reinstall soft now. The MAGLDR is kind of flashing always and its hard to control as sometime its not reacting to my button push. And then I try to go into ClockworkMod Recovery its just starts loading, does that 1234 go and it freezes on it, every time. But besides all this stuff my phone looks like working fine, just looks like it just has some software damage. I think it should work with a new soft if not at least I can send it to my insurance as I will change a soft back to normal, because now my insurance will not fix my phone as it freezes on android boot screen so whey will see that I have android and not windows. Waiting for any good advice. Thank you
Btw. My original boot loader is not working too, I can't get in to it. I think its because of the android.

i suggest flash the stock rom first , then do all the work again flash MAGLDR and then recovery and then the android rom you want to use and read the instruction for your device if you using hd2 EU or hd2 T-Mobile ... good luck

That's what I waned to do, but last time when I tried to connect it my computer couldn't find my phone. That's why I'm asked for a help here. I will try to connect it later today, after I come back from my work and I will post it here, if its connects or not

So yes, like I said before I cannot connect my phone using MAGLDR. USB Mass storage is working fine, when using USB Flasher my computer detects my phone but when I try upgrade a soft, I get connection error, it cannot find my phone. I don't know any other ways to connect my phone as I cannot get into boot loader Any help???

'USB mass storage is working fine'
You may be able to flash a stock ROM from the SD card but I think it involves the bootloader. Have a look at This thread and see if it helps (I CBA to read it properly, sorry )

Thanks, but yes it involves the bootloader

Does Bootloader normally work if MAGLDR & ClockworkMod Recovery is installed on device?

yea man its working fine in my phone .... okay how about if you get your phone and connect it to another pc ... maybe the wrong with your pc ... and run the usb flasher and flash the stock rom bro

Yeah that's a good point. If you can, trying PCs with different versions of Windows could help (i.e. XP, Vista, Windows 7 etc.)

Ok so I managed to connect my phone via USB Flasher on my work computer and I installed "[30.DEC.10][DFT]LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM" without any problems but my phone still stucks on DFT Boot screen. I also tried to reinstall MAGLDR and ClockworkMod Recovery to get Clockwork Recovery work but it didn't work, it didn't change anything. Does any one have any ideas what can I do next? Is it possible to install wm 6.5 via USB Flasher? As I know it needs bootloader Does any one have more ideas how to fix it?

yea bro install the stock rom as wm6.5 using the usb flasher ... get it back to the stock then re-install any rom you want

I can't! Because wm 6.5 requires connection between bootloader or active sinc, there is not other way when instaling wm 6.5, and none of them work now on my device
