Hi!
I've flashed my phone quite a few times and now I can't get pass the tri color boot up screen. It all started when I started to use task29 for my flashing. Wasn't the first time I used it but the last time I did the phone just ended up with (what it seems like no rom). When I press the power button the phone loads the tri color screen saying serial or USB (if USB connected) I've tried to reflash with both SD-card and USB but it ends up the same way. Flashing reaches 100% (tried stock rom and others) but when booting up it still goes to the tri color screen.
Using SPL 1.56 OliNex.
Hopefully somewould knows what to do. Big thanks!
looks to me like your volume down button may be stuck in, see if it is and what happens after that
Hi. Well the volume button is stuck but it usually works by pressing the power button a couple of sec. now that doesn't work

then you need to unstick the button, it will never boot properly otherwise.

can you get into recovery by holding the volume down button when the phone is off and then powering the phone up while still holding it down?
as long as it turns on and screen comes on, you are not bricked .. it's almost impossible to birck this phone ..
can't get into recovery at all, phone is not responding to anything just constantly stuck on initial white htc screen. have backup on sd though no way to get there through phone
how can pulling the battery not work? If there's no power to power up the screen it should die instantly
Try keeping it out for like 10 mins or more.
Then go to recovery and wipe/reinstall from backup.

And to get to recovery you have to start with the phone turned off (by pulling the battery). Then put in the battery and before you press the powerbutton, press and hold the vol- button down. When you're holding the vol- button, press powerbutton until the screen turns on, keep holding the vol button until you get into the bootloader just in case. From bootloader you can choose recovery with vol+ and vol-, powerbutton to select.
And as long as there's something happening on the screen (e.g. HTC logo) it's not bricked.
cheers Hawks556, all is good now
Hello everyone
I have a serious problem here, was about to give up on the phone but there seems to be some hope out of this mess.
Okay, I was doing a task 29 through HSPL4.exe when it stuck up at 24% and gave Rom update error, (details read something like there has been a communication error etc.). The phone screen showed the Rom update failure screen , when I reset the phone it doesn't power up at all. No bootloader, no vibrations or LEDs, nothing.
Only, when I press the red (end call/ power) button and then press volume up for some time, the phone vibrates twice and the green LED lights up, thats it, the screen remains blank.. When I connect it to USB, my PC detects it, but asks for a driver that I don't seem to have, although I do have Activesync installed (i'm using XP).
Please somebody, get me out of this mess, I'd be so grateful.. Thank you.
Did you try booting into that one screen, forgot its name
....the rainbow screen
do u have hd2 toolkit? btw...if you can get into your bootloader there is definitly hope. long live hd2!!!!!!
I am having the same issue however mine came about when my hd2 got wet after that all it does is vibrate once and nothing happens the LED comes up for like a sec and nothing else happens...
Yeah, it doesn't go to the bootloader when I press the vol down button. But it is detected by my computer when I connect it to USB, isn't there a way it could be recovered thru there somehow?
okay so i left my phone sitting for a while and now it vibrates the bottom buttons turn on when i touch them and the led is in orange and my computer recognizes it too but no display at all....
i own a hd2 EU version (end call and answer call are not colored with green and red , they're all white ) tried to get android on my phone but the procesed stopet coze i got bluescreen on my pc now i cant get my hd2 into colored screen to start again from the 1st stem (mgdlr)
i tried
Step 2. Hold the Volume Down Button and press the End (red) key once.
but my phone turn on and stuck at htc logo ?
what else to try

I don't think there should be a 'HTC' screen when you're booting into bootloader? I'm not sure, but just try holding down both the power button and the volume down button, as I think people have been able to restart the process after their phone has run out of battery or something similar. Hopefully everything should be OK once you've managed to access the bootloader.
Oh, and I don't mean to be rude, but use a better PC next time
phone wont go into bootloader , phone just turn on NORMALLY , but while there is no system at all on his memory he just stuck at HTC (green) on white background !
im suspecting that my VOLUME DOWN button is broken ?
Have you tried the back key?
power (end call) + back key ?
If you have magldr installed it should bring you to magldr menu which would point towards faulty vol down button ....

If I remembered correctly, some of the people mentioned that HD2 is quite difficult to brick. I think that you could still try to work with your phone unless you still suspect that you have a faulty volume down button. I noticed in your statement in Step 2 coloured red that you press the end key once. I haven't flash in a while but I think you should hold the end key with the volume down button until you get into bootloader mode (screen with tri colour). Don't just press the key once. I hope this helps.

I am sorry, but I think you may have bricked your device.
Sure thing, the european HD2 is quite difficult to brick. But your PC had frozen while you were in the middle of flashing. (right?)
It is like pulling out the USB cable while flashing. You can try flashing from sdcard. Are you sure you are not able to go into bootloader?
To get to bootloader press and hold vol down button and then press the power (end call) button. I do a lot of flashing lol
lol...i just noticed the threadstarter's point of saying he pressed the power key "once". So i thought that was a mistake. Could be surely from the faulty volume button. Don't see any reply yet from him.
I feel like this is a stupid question, but here we go anyway. I'm on an LS980 with TWRP 2.6.3.4.
I can boot into recovery just fine, as long as I use adb reboot recovery, or any of the methods to do a reboot to recovery from software. For the life of me, I can't get the volume down + power key combination to work. This would be no problem, except I'm stuck in a bootloop (my own fault), and can't get to either the software solution or ADB.
Yes, I've followed the directions in which you hold the two buttons, and when the LG logo appears, release and repress them both. I've done this about a million times now, in every different pattern and length of delay I can think of.
If I hold all 3 during boot, I get the "hardware control" screen, with a barcode and my IMEI at the bottom. Download mode, using volume up + plug in USB, works as well. Both volume keys have been functioning fine for controlling volume in software, so they are mechanically sound.
Is there any reason the keys might not work during boot? Is there any other way to reboot to recovery? My only idea is to push the stock image to the phone in download mode, and re-root, etc.
Thanks in advance!
Start with the phone powered all the way down (if you're bootlooping, hold the power button for maybe ~10s until there's a short buzz from the vibrator and the LG logo pops up, then hold it down for a few more seconds to power off).
Hold power+voldown until the LG logo appears. Release them then immediately push them again, and hold for a few seconds.
You'll get a 'Factory hard reset' screen that tells you to press Power to confirm you want to do a factory reset. Push Power a couple of times to confirm this. If you have a custom recovery installed, it won't erase anything, it'll just boot into recovery.
I just tried this, and it worked the first time.
Antinorm -
I'm familiar with that process, and have been trying it nonstop! Here's a video; maybe you could critique my technique?
You don't have to hold both buttons after the release.
1. Hold VolDn + Power until LG Logo appears.
2. Release both buttons for a few seconds
3. Hold only Power Btn
4. You get into Hard Reset
5. Push Power Btn 2 times (For executing reset)
After that the phone will boot into recovery.
Don't do this with plugged in USB cable I don't know why, but it doesn't work if you have a usb connection.
Nope, no luck using just the power button for the second press. Thank you, though! I'll write some more detail of what I see.
Initial state: the boot animation is looping.
I press and hold the power button.
The screen goes blank. I continue to hold the power button.
The LG logo reappears for a moment. If I were to release the power button before this point, the phone would restart.
I do not release the power button; I continue to hold it. The screen goes blank.
I now release the power button. This is the phone in its "off" state. If I plug it in to a power source, a battery charge icon and a percentage is displayed center-screen. Entering download mode from this state works. The phone is not plugged in.
I hold the power and VD buttons together. I've also tried pushing one first, then the other, in either combination.
The LG splash displays.
I release both buttons.
I wait an amount of time. I have tried various values from "as quick as I can move my fingers" to "a solid three-count".
I hold either both buttons (pressing them simultaneously), or just power, and wait.
Time passes.
GOTO 1
Does any of that sound wrong?
Weird. This method works for me. But getting into recovery was a bit of a hassle for me too at the beginning. Your doing seems to be ok... well seems like your only chance is adb right now.

Do you know of any way to ADB without an OS booted or recovery? I don't!
IF your battery is low or almost gone - you can't enter in Recovery with those 2 buttons.
So just charge your battery. I'm using CWM 6.0.4.4 and phone charges battery in this mode. It's slowly, but at the end my battery was 100%.
Now I can go to Recovery with 2 button combo. No download mode for me, but I'll open a new topic for that.

Whelp, sorry. Would have thought you can adb while in download mode. Turns out you can't.
Well i don't have a better idea than you with going stock and start from the beginning.
Thought Id ask here before I give up.
Been having a problem with my nexus.
The power button started acting up recently.
I've tried replacement and also made sure the mechanical button works inside someone else's device and it works fine.
My problem is that the button seems to loop or not work at all. For instance the device wont boot (Gets stuck in a loop) unless I hold the power down until the boot has completed, then if I let go it will usually stay on.
But then the power button is unresponsive unless I hold it again which in turn puts it back into a loop. I can hold it down for 10 secs then release then I get power down option but if I select it it goes back into a loop.
Ive tried a recovery which hasn't fixed it and tried using computer to flash a new image but I cant unlock boot loader as when I manipulate the button on the screen where I have to accept. It then goes into a boot loop again causing the device to not unlock/relock.
Im pulling whatever hair I have left out here and am about to give up unless anyone else has any ideas? Its as though the power button either works but sticks on. Or doesn't work at all. depending if I've held it on for a while or not.
Many Thanks
