[Q] bricked volume key, not able to reboot in recovery

[pseudofarji]

Hello all,

i have a htc sensation 4G S-off.
i broked its display, and while repairing it broken the volume key cable. now volume key not working.

i installed PACman rom 1.2 and wifi was not working.
as directed in that thread of PACman i installed beta version sultan kernel.

now its not booting, just getting the HTC splash screen and then again going off.
i tried it to connect via PC but no success , neither adb, nor fastboot, recognzing it connected.

you can go to bootloader the traditional way atleast?

remove battery --reinsert it -> hold power + volume down ..until you get to bootloader
then connect to PC (if conncected properly thge phone says FASTBOOT USB)
then you can atleast use fastboot

in the mean time from the zip of the PAC MAN rom you've installed ..extract the boot.img and copy it to your fastboot/adb folder

then type this command

fastboot flash boot boot.img

then reboot using this command

fastboot reboot

and next time find the proper kernel and flash it (be careful this time )

the volume key hardware is broken, so not able to enter bootloader or recovery.

ahh yes :/
what else ..hmm

try this
adb wait-for-device

if you got the command prompt back after the above command ...you got adb
then immediately try

adb reboot recovery

i uninstalled the htc drivers and then reinstalled. and then used the adb reboot recovery command as you told previously.
now its been recognized by adb in recovery mode.

thanks now my problem is solved.

I know issue have been solved with help of ganeshp but to help other people there's a quite more simple way, htc sensation 4g tool, it also let u unlock bootloader in 4 clicks and flash new recovery but it also let u boot into bootloader and boot into recovery in one click: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497404

i tried 2-3 tools available for sensation before posting here, but none was able to detect the device.
i guess the issue in my case was only due to corrupt htc drivers and the broken volume key was just giving it a more confusion.
i also tried first repairing of the drivers but that doesnt helped me. then i tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and that solved out the issue.

Yeah I know about the tool
But inside it does the same way as I'm explaining

Btw the tool perfectly works when you can boot your phone fine and ofcourse it will cause troubles when you can't boot the phone fine

But that's not the case here .. This guy's case is pretty hard here.. He can't boot to bootloader manually and also he is stuck at splash screen (where there is 90% chance that adb won't work).. Luckily he fell in the 10% category

Will it work on HTC One C ?

ahh yes :/
what else ..hmm

try this
adb wait-for-device

if you got the command prompt back after the above command ...you got adb
then immediately try

adb reboot recovery
I think I have the same problem ... Don't weither the Volume down button is bricked or broken ... But I'll try this method ...
