Here's what could maybe help you
take ur battery out put it back in press the red soft reset button to switch it on
hold down the volume key while it switches on it'll get you to the tricolour boot loader
flash the wm6.5 RUU
after that all done ! u could maybe use roms from your sd card
but i believe that you are wanting to flash a NAND rom right ?

dude i know how to flash a rom...
i had once opened my phone and accidently broke the cable that connect the front hardware keys...so they are not working...
so was wondering if clk could flash a rom without using any of the keys using fastboot

Fastboot is initiated in default if cwm is not installed.
But the question is, how to go into cwm if the "Home" button is not working ?

Exactly...fastboot is default...i will be able to intall cwm without any hardware keys...but wont be able to do anything from there....if once im able to install a rom then i can install rom manager and change roms...and probaly even install cwm from there....but to flash the first rom is the question....
will i be able to flash a rom using fastboot without cwm??? using a adb or someting..??

Atleast if someone could tell me if we can flash a rom using the clk fastboot directly without using the clockwork recovery

Idk about whether the HD2 will work with this or not, but a quick google search showed this up:
http://www.firstdroid.com/tutorials...pphire-guias/how-to-load-a-rom-with-fastboot/
As an HD2 owner, you are to start from step7 immediately.
Again, I doubt this will work.

... But I think original problem was how to get fastboot mode without HW keys? After that flashing a rom is possible.

Can't get into recovery (magldr)

Does anyone know what this could be? I can't do it holding any of the buttons or from reom manager

Power phone off , power phone on , once you see the magldr screen , press and hold power , then using volume buttons scroll down and select "AD Recovory"

If you can't get into recovery your recovery is probably broken. If you tried the above post and you can't get into recovery mode you probably flashed clockwork mod via rom manager (this breaks the recovery) or did something else to damage the recovery. Download the sd recovery method via this post and follow the instructions as well:

Can you boot into recovery now? Make a backup via CWM and reinstall CWM if any problem persists.

Hi,
I have also faced similar situation.
Use HTC HD2 Toolkit to wipe (bottom left) given in the thread.
CAUTION: It will DELETE everything.

Check if your volume keys are working in clockworkmod, and if they are, flash a ROM of your choice.

If your volume keys do not work, download the image of a touchscreen-based recovery and flash it using flash_image in ADB or Terminal. (flash_image recovery <file-name>
You can reboot to recovery if your ROM supports that as an option in the reboot menu, or through adb command (reboot recovery)

can u suggest a touch screen recovery program ?

Look in the NAND section for clockworkmod based touch recovery. I remember seeing someone releasing it a while back.

STOP creating multiple threads asking for help for the same problem
STOP expecting others to help you the instant you ask a question

Did you do anything to the phone that might of caused it to stop working? On mine i opened it and saw that the button on the ribbon that's pressed by the key was moved and it wasn't pressing it (Had to put a tiny piece of foil and tape). When you press it do you feel it kind of click or it doesn't feel like its pressing the button?

the buttons seems to be pressing down ok im just looking everywhere to try a find a solution

Hello,
i want to restore my mini without the Volume Buttons.
Is there solution to restore Windows or Android only with USB?
Please help me the Phone ist okay only the Volume Buttons are dead an i don´t want to by these Platines.

if you are already on android you can use android to restart to bootloader or recovery, recovery can be controlled with the softbuttons.
if you want to install a windows rom,
excract the firmware you want to install (the ruu file), there should be a RUU_signed.nbh, rename it to PHOTIMG.nbh copy to sd-card and reboot into bootloader via android ror windows reboot menu, it will start installation without any volume buttons

Sorry for the OT:
Hey Schlund, a lot of time we miss you here. Hope you're ok.
I'm playing now with my SGSII with Jelly Bean but I remeber your great work with our HD minis. you're an awesome developer. Thanks a lot!

Thanks.
I have no Android or Windows on my Phone i deleted my NAND and want to go to the tri color mode to restore Windows but the Buttons are dead. So when i contact my Phone to USB and PC i can´t load an ROM. Maybe i should try it with an other bootloader?

How have you deleted your NAND ? your whole NAND ? what happens if you start the phone ?
how will you try another bootloader ?

In the recovery i formated System, Data, Caches, Boot but then there was an power breakdown at my Home.
Now when i start the Phone he will only show the htc Screen (white with the green font).
And also no reaktion when i Plug on the Phone on the PC.

[Q] Defunct power button, can't boot into MAGLDR?

I have a busted power button (end call button) and was wondering if I could boot into MAGLDR without it directly booting straight to android. I know that I'm supposed to press the power button at the MAGLDR boot sequence to reach the menu that lets me use CM recovery but I'm not able to do that. Is there any way in which I can install a new ROM on my phone without actually using MAGLDR and CM recovery? Or any other way to make me reach the MAGLDR menu screen?

You could try getting into the bootloader then flashing everything from scratch. To get into the bootloader without the power button I think you can take off the back cover and press the small reset button near the SD slot (using a pin or toothpick) while holding volume down. From there, if that actually works, you can flash a Task 29 followed by MAGLDR, CWM and a new ROM.

Or alternatively, there is an old legend that says "reboot into recovery" & "reboot into bootloader" from within Android let you reboot into MAGLDR, do you believe in legends?
(According to the scrolls, this legend may only be true if you have Android already installed obviously)
EDIT:
Actually, you can do that without having android working (e.g. you're stuck at the ROM splash screen or in a bootloop). Just use adb to reboot into recovery/bootloader and you should be in MAGLDR.
Apparently the scrolls were wrong.

You do realize that I mentioned that my power button was busted so it wasn't possible for me to boot into recovery through the power-restart prompt menu from within the ROM after booting. Or is there any other way to get that prompt from within the ROM? Infact from what I know, telling it to boot into recovery never did work on my HD2....I had to press the end call every time I wanted it to get to the MAGLDR menu.

And I did use adb before posting this here but it boots straight to Android. That doesn't work.

OP, reboot into recovery/bootloader never worked in MAGLDR. Those options only work in cLK. +1 to 'glad you got it working'.
