First time using Android, not sure what to do, the only things I can press are the power button and the volume buttons.
Everything has been fine for its first few days, battery was full. I think it went to a lock screen now I can't get the screen to respond.
RMA it dude
Have you tried a hard reset?
Try and turn off the phone if not try next step
Press and hold the Volume Down key and Power key at the same time.
Continue to hold the keys until the device turns back on.
When the device turns on, release the Power key and continue to hold the Volume Down key until you see the reset screen (Android in a Box).
Release the keys. The phone will restart.
This is assuming you are not rooted, unlocked, or have installed custom recovery.
Hope this helps

Thanks! I had the same issue this morning, this worked fine. No idea why it went blank though.
Thanks. Had the same issue. The phone was turned on and the volume buttons made that clicking sound, but no screen. This worked for me with some modification.
After holding volume down + power I had to release both and press power only to start it again.
Thanks for the solution

Turn the phone off completely.
Hold both volume up & volume down buttons and briefly press power on. Keep holding volume buttons till the screen comes on, then follow on-screen instructions.

That's how you reset to the factory defaults.
What you want to do is to completely turn off your device and then hold the vol-down button while tapping once on the power button.

Tried now but nothing happends
OK, can you make sure that you have got the external battery charger connected and switched on just in case you have a battery problem. Then try switching on or doing a reset (if it doesn't boot but there appears to be power). Just a thought.
how this was happening for you?
Try taking the battery out and then popping it back in before switching it on again. This is a known issue that occurs from time to time. There is no need to perform a hard reset as advised above.

Tried this serveral times but no luck..
Could maybe be a battery charger/battery or phone short (amnongst other things). I think it might be a return to supplier or HTC job. A backup battery charger/spare battery might help or it might waste time. Sorry.
Hi all, guys. So, the problem is the following...
I need to hard reset mi topaz, but the VolUP + VolDown + PowerON method doesn't work. The 1234 method can't be performed since I can't access start menu. I didn't try the VolUP + VolDown + RED button when Topaz is turned on.
I think it's strange that method 1 doesn't work. It boots normally, like ignoring I'm pressing the two Volume buttons...
Any suggestion, solution, guys?
Thanks in advance!
The RED button method worked, but It's strange why the VolUP + VolDown + PowerOn method is still not working...
the soft reset and power buttons do the same thing, it just reboots the phone, and while phone starts to boot, before splash screen appears, is when you have to hold the volume keys.
So it would be;
Power on, THEN hold both volume keys immediately before device starts to boot,
or
Hit soft reset, THEN hold both volume keys immediately before device starts to boot
Did you do exactly this?

This doesn't work. I think you got it mixed up.
ArtieQ wrote the correct way.
No, it works, you just aren't fast enough.
It's just different ways to get to the same place.
The point is, volumes must be pressed as device begins to boot.
I just soft reset and press them and it always works for me.

That's right! Thank you Bruce Inman, IT WORKS!
But the ArtieQ method is the one I always used... and the one that usually worked... but anyway, NOW IT WORKS! Thanks Bruce again!
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.
If you're here at XDA, it means you flashed a ROM or two (or 10... 20... 1434240 )
If you've flashed any ROM, you probably encountered SOD's before.
You probably took out your battery and put it back in, in order to restart the phone.
But, recently I found out that you could just press and hold
Power Button + Volume Up Button
to restart the phone! (hard coded reset )
So as the title said, it won't prevent any SOD, but will sure make them feel less painful!!
hi,
i usally just press my power button for a few seconds and it reboots as well - i dont know if there is any difference if you press volume up as well.
best regards, dv
Correct procedure is: Home button + power button.
No, dervaganund is right. You can just hold your power button for a couple of seconds to shut down your phone, or hold it longer for about 8 seconds to reboot your phone. No need for volume or home buttons
