After installing this theme Theme Animation for RCMix3D Runny 1.3 posted by liamstears, my dhd failed to boot, it stuck at the htc white screen for more than 3hrs now. The problem is, the volume key is faulty, so, i cant boot into bootloader.
I need help to bootloader so that i cant enter recovery and restore my phone. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Try if you have the Android SDK installed you can try to run
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
or
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Just make sure your phone is plugged in.
Or remove battery and press and hold volume down, and power. It'll get you to recovery

Did you read the OP? Volume key is broken...
Your best bid is to try the adb commands as far as I know...

Thanks for the reply, downloading the sdk package now. But, since the phone is not booting, how do I connect it to the computer? With the screen off or while the phone is at the htc white screen? Elaborate pls. Thanks a lot.

Am a noob on adb commands, I need guidance on how to execute the commands. Thanks
Phone needs to be on, so I'm guessing at the white screen. Again, never been in the same situation, so in no way am I sure it'll work...
Thanks, will try

Hi Guys
Feels good to be part of the best community of the world !!
I own a Galaxy Y GT-5360 which I used to root often. Now I had updated the phone by which I lost the rooting functionality.
I have a critical problem of not having the physical volume down key. I had used some software but couldn't find any solution compatible.
Please help me out guys !!!
Thank You !!
Thats ok, since VOLUME UP is for entering Clockwork mod, not down

i only have 1 option for you, buy or build a USB dongle to force boot to download mode, flash custom kernel and with custom recovery, volume up will work for scrolling CWM, BTW maybe dirt is the problem why volume down wont work

Hello, i'm trying to go to Download mode via ODIN but the Volume up button doesn't work so i cannot Continue to enter in. Also volume down is not working so it stayed frozen in the WARNING screen. The PC doesn't recognized the device.
I bought my Samsung Galaxy S4 yesterday in ORANGE - Dominican Republic.
It's GT-i9500
Any idea to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

Press the power button for about 10 seconds and the phone will reboot. Do you have usb debugging enabled on the phone?

Yes. I can reboot the phone and use it as normal. The problem is that i want to root it but i cannot use Volume UP in Odin Mode to Continue and join into Download Mode. Volume keys doesn't work in the mode. In normal use i can control the volume normally. And YES i have USB Debugging enabled.

Hi, thanks for replay.
Using adb shell from computer,
adb reboot download

My S4 only boots into stock recovery with blue text 'recovery booting'. I cannot get into download mode or boot normally. I've tried to data factory reset but the same thing occurs and also I cannot clear the cache as it ends in an error. I have managed by fluke a couple of times to boot the phone up in normal. but cannot install superuser to get root. I also restored with kies but again reboots into recovery mode. please help as I don't want to keep booting into recovery. any questions ill try and answer them.

That's weird. Can you install the Android SDK or ADT and get adb.
Then plug your S4 to the computer (I assume the drivers are installed?) and open up cmd. Set adb to your path variables or just browse over to the adb where you installed your SDK and run
Code:
adb devices
to see list of devices and check if yours is there. Then type
Code:
adb reboot download
Let me know if that works.

Did you connect the phone to the PC? Seems that it cannot detect your phone. Bad drivers maybe? Try installing these:

Well if CWM works, and you flashed a stock ROM using Odin, does the issue persist? If so, it could be a hardware issue then.
EDIT: Although the issue in the OP seems to be solved partially no? Can you boot normally to your ROM? Can you boot to recovery (vol-up + power)? Download mode (vol-down + power)? Anyone of them through adb?

Do you get a bootloop? Download a zip of a ROM and flash it through CWM.
Can you still access download mode through the hardware buttons or through adb?

Every time I boot the phone it has the blue text saying booting recovery and boots into clockwork. I cannot access download through either adb or pressing the buttons. When I press down power and menu the phone freezes on samsung black screen.

You're supposed to press vol-down and power. Not menu. I guess that's a typo?
Anyway, if it doesn't work in those ways, I'm not sure what's left besides taking it to the shop and getting it replaced.
Does adb devices detect the phone as online? If so, you can try this toolkit and maybe that boots you to download mode?

No its not. You push in down volume, home(menu) and power button for ODIN and up volume, Home(menu) and power for recovery. Have NEVER got into download or recovery by holding volume up\down and power. Not since my Gtab 7" 1st edition....

What. That is totally weird. You are right but I can get into both recovery and download mode without touching the home button.
@spongerob500: Try what ultramag69 suggested with Menu button. Sorry about the wrong info in that regard, but on my phone I don't press the Menu/Home button.
EDIT: Sorry @ultramag69, it seems that both methods work. So no need to hold the Home button!
