Which bootloader? HSPL or magldr?
Which OS are you running? (I know you posted in android but just wanted to make sure)

Whoa, you're a forum mod now? I remember seeing you around when I was a noob Anyway, I assume he means the tricolour/HSPL bootloader since no vol down wouldn't impair MAGLDR.
@OP there's no way to get into the bootloader without a working volume down button AFAIK. Sorry.

Yeah I was recently promoted to forum mod
I still hang out here to help out people with HD2 issues though sometimes.
Well you can do it from Winmo using ActiveSync, but it is going to be tougher from Android.
Can't you get into HSPL from magldr?

Well I've seen dozens of threads like this where people have broken volume down buttons but never any solutions. You can't do it through Android (all of the reboot options just restart the phone no matter what one you choose) and you can't do it via Magldr either. You can get into the bootloader with a broken power/end call button (there's a reset button on the back of the device) but not with a broken volume button.

HD2 BRICKED...please someone help

I was on Radio 2.10.50; i fashed radio 2.07.50 everithing was fine after the flash; then i run TASK29 by doloop; but after that the bootloader dont start, only the HTC star screen appears, i have to pull out the battery to reset the phone, and restart with the volumne down button pressed but still the same i tried almost 20 times but still the same.....
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME.....i flashed almost 40 times before and run TASK 29 before but this never hapened, im desesperated.....
take your battery off, wait 20 seconds. Put battery back in, hold Vol- and push power. ou will be at the 3 color screen. Connect the USB cable, get the 'USB' text below and flash a ROM.
Obviously you have HSPL, on the phone, right? you were able to do task 29..

Bootloader wont charge
Yes i have HSPL, but after the TASK 29, i think it have been deleted, now the bootloader does not exist, i tried pushind down and reseting the volume down, but without the bootloader, it wont start.
Maybe if i run a SHIPPED ROM from the SD card...???

i don't think run Task29 will delete bootloader. You should wait for better advices from someone in here before you try something else that you are not sure.
nope, that is not possible. Unless you have a malfunction with the phone, there shouls be a bottloader..
Do you hold Vol- (keep your finger on) at all times? you should not leave the button until phone wakes up at bootload. The power button can be pushed and be left after about 0.5 a second.
Another wild idea- maybe you battery is dead? try charging it for 15 minutes..
Thanks
Thanks for your advices man, im doing it, but nothing appears to work, im seriously deseperating, i dont know why the bootloader dont start.
Even more, before i run TASK 29, i ve entered bootloader directly pushing down the volume key and everything was fine; but now it seriously appear that the bootloader have been deleted or even i can acces it.
Ive read some other similar cases; and a lot report the same problem, after flashing a new radio, and then runing the TASK29, the bootloader,apparently have been deleted.
About the battery
About the battery, i also think that was the posible problem,because, it was abouth 60% when i flash the radio; and when i run TASK 29, i dont see how much it was,because, ive entered bootloader directly; but ive charged for about 1 hour and still the same the bootloader wont charge, i only get the damn HTC screen.....
I was thinking about flashing shipped rom fom the SD card, but thing it be imposible because to do HSPL (bootloader) is needed, and or my bootloader has deleted or is imposible to acces it so i think that will be a useless option
Posible solution
I think one posible solution was to install HSPL from SD card again; but i think it is imposible...but seriously i wish i was wrong about it.
OK then, try to flash a stock ROM, although i doubt you can.. Maybe you VOL- button isn't really pushed in? I am running out of ideas.. I have HTC phones for several years and never lost the bootloader. By definition the bootloader is a different component on the phone's board, and oe can not write to it from the USB interface (normally it is hardwire write protected). Do you have another battery? or did you try charging a bit?
dannytgt, what model of your device?
I think the answer is simple. When you ran Task 29, did u put the desired Radio in the same map? was it Called ruu_signed.nbu? if you didnt, that would explain why you have no bootrom.
I would run it again but this time with the latest radio in the same map. I hope it works for you man.

You re right when i run Task 29, i dont have put the Radio in the same folder; i flashed the Radio separately, and then i Run TASK 29.
I tried to run it again. but its imposible, because I DONT HAVE THE BOOTLOADER, so its imposible....
i really apreciate your ideas, i really thanks all of you guys and i hope you will still sharing any ideas about unbricking my phone.
It gets really hard to get a phone like this in my country, i ve done a lot of effort...to have this phone...so i still dont give up about leaving it like that

The radio is not needed to start the bootloader.
Well, strange issue with your phone. You really can't enter the bootloader by holding vol down press power on and keep holding vol down?
There MUST be some kind of boot loader. i think without there would be a white screen.
If it is not opening in Boot loader try flashing rom using sync process if your hd2 is booting to Os. otherwise that is only way other have described you. Take battery out . Wait for 5 minutes. Put battery in n press Vol Down button and press power on button. your phone should on in Boot loader .
Some time it happens with me also. but automatically after 2-3 tries it loads in boot loader menu.. dont know what is the problem.. but whatever it is.. IS Strange..
Good Luck
Have you tried hard resetting your phone by holding both the up and down volume when you start? Task 29 deleted the rom so you will need to flash a rom, but if you cant enter bootmode, thats not possible..
Your problem seems to be quite unique. Almost makes me think it is the volume down button that is not responding well...
do you have your battery cover on when trying to press the volume down button?
If yes, try it without the battery cover on

correct, impossible.
The phone wont go past the grey screen because there is no rom to load. Bootloader has NOT been overwritten,. task29 cannot do that.
Chances are you simply aren't entering bootloader correctly.
Take off the battery cover (to get a better press)
phone completely powered off.
press, hold and keep holding 'volume down' (not up and down, not up, just down)
tap AND RELEASE (dont release vol down) the power button
keep holding vol down
as soon as the three coloured screen appears, then release vol down.
once the word serial changes to usb, flash your rom.
i have a feeling your Vol Down button is not working. that's why its not entering bootloader. u going to disassemble your phone? hmm...be careful with that.
Bricked HD2
Would you be willing to ship it to me? I could have some fun trying to figure some stuff out since you're not having any luck.

[Q] help please htc hd2 rocker switch

i dropped my hd2 and the volume button (the rocker thing) broke this is my 2nd broken htc hd2 so i cant afford another but maybe a good repair service or a self repair does anyone know a workaround or is there a way to use magldr without volume switch then i would be good so anyhelp thanx
There's no workaround. You need that volume button for magldr
Didn't someone create his own magldr alternative? I believe it was cedesmith? Could be a possible workaround although I don't know if it requires the volume button too..
i just broke my volume button as well. is there an alternative to magldr?
oh well...luckily ive got a stable ROM on. i guess ill just have to live with it until i upgrade to a new phone

Can't access bootloader android won't start

I cant access bootloader (tri-color screen) i have magldr 1.11 i have flashed three different versions of android ....same result freezes on android logo...and i have tested those builds they do work on my other htc hd2 ....i have alse flashed windows7 but same result comes back to magldr screen......any help would be appreciated
im sure the bootloader is before Magldr in sequence so if that is loading you should be able to load the bootloader. You are holding volume down while turning on aint you? What radio are you using?
Ricey
thank you for your quick reply......yes I am holding volume down it doesn't wanna work i have also tried hard reset and it just goes directly to startup screen....and i know i am not doing anything wrong because i can access bootloader on my other HTC HD2....

[Q] I cant Join the Bootloader (Tricolor Menu)

Hello HD2 Experts,
yesterday i wanted to reboot my HTC HD2 with Android (SD) on it, and after this it hanging on the HTC logo and cant boot.
It goes only to the MAGLDR but not to the Bootloader ( Tricolor Menu) if i press VOLUME DOWN AND POWER...
I installed via USB FLasher on MAGLDR the Windows 7 Phone and it was working perfectly without problems (Just Wlan/Wifi dont working). After this i tried to install 5 different NAND Android on my HD2 and every of this is hanging on this HTC Logo!!! I am sure that all this 5 were working before this...
My Problems:
1. Cant install (NAND) Android.
2. Cant join to the BOOTLOADER (Tricolor).
3. On WIndows 7 PHone no WLAN working.
I'm done with the nerves!!! Can anybody help me?
Best Regards, Mike
With phone off hold down volume down button and press power button for a couple seconds.
Sent from my HD2
First of all, wrong section to post... should be in Q & A.
Second of all, if above doesn't work, Vol up + down instead of just vol down.
dont work!
no reaction from hd2! it goes only to the MAGDLR menu!

In MAGLDR do the volume buttons allow you to scroll up and down? If not, maybe your volume rocker took a **** on you?
help!
how to recover the phone if the volume rocker is indeed stuck?!
I presume you have a correct radio version.... ? That causes hang at boot.

There should really be no reason you cant boot into bootloader if your volume buttons are working properly. turn phone completely off for 10 minutes turn phone on then hold volume button down till you boot into bootloader screen. I think you are holding volume button down slightly before your phone is turning on.
No reaction! im again in the MAGDLR menu....
please help! I have the same problem. Volume keys work, but I cant get into tri color bootloader. Nor can I load any nand rom, just stuck on HTC logo! please help me !!!!
Hold down the power and volume down button until bootloader shows up

2.2miui stock via cwm
did u try hr ? hold volume up/down together and power on the phone.

OK so after doing a TON of research and having spurts of false hope, I have figured out that the phone is indeed bricked. There is only one person in US that I know who can save it and he uses jtag. Here is his link. Send him a pm describing your situation and he'll help you out. I recommend him!!!

so i can access my recover and load other roms?
2) there is any way i can load other android roms installing them trough sd card? or replacing folders and files into internal card?
3) there is any way to load without bootloader clk instead of magdlr so i can use a touch recovery?

heh, go re-read the post you linked, , , ,what are the first three words?
hint
Hold Volume Down. Press and hold Reset until you see the BootLoader screen. Reset is the hidden button under the battery cover, lower left side below the SD card slot. You need a plastic or wooden stylus (toothpick will work). DON'T use a pencil, the graphite can get into the button and short it.

handy for a broken POWER button, but no use to volume button issues.
not to mention that he is asking to flash from sd in bootloader, and of course, even if you DO get into bootloader, you need to press the vol button to start the flash.
(Not like you to make a mistake, you're normally bang on the money, , , bad day? )
Hey guys,
I'm sorry I can't help or offer any solution, but reading again about a volume button problem just makes me confident that we need to have an option to boot into SPL from clk or magldr.
If I remember correctly, in WM 6.x we could do it using a little executable called "Enterbootloader.exe".
To tell you the truth I've tried ida-ing that *.exe, but I don't have the skills to make something out of it... maybe someone else could give it a try(?).
Nevertheless in the newer version of clk I added an option to navigate through the menu using fastboot commands (simulating volume keys, green button and back button).
Regards!

Haha actually a fairly good day, got some decent GCSE results for the first few things I've done. I guess when I posted that was before I got the results and I was, shall we say, bricking it (although not talking about phones here ) and probably not really thinking. Anyway, @OP sorry about that, I really dunno why I linked that without reading it properly but meh, I guess no harm done if you didn't flash anything yet (aside from maybe getting your hopes up slightly )

Hah, makes sense your mind may be slightly occupied.
Good stuff, grats.
thanx friends.
unfortunally you still need vol down to skip magdlr menu....and boot into tricolor screen.
i guess im stocked with this rom unless i can short vol down mecaniclly i mean from hardware
insert battery and power up then remove short...
