Use adb from bootlooping screen. The command is "adb reboot recovery". Adb is part of android SDK. There are plenty of guides on how to set up adb out there and its easy.

Make sure that you have usb debugging enabled and the driver is installed correctly (with the phone unplugged)

You don´t to have be in hboot to use adb. You have to be with the phone on normally or from the splash screen itself. If you are in hboot then choose fastboot and try from there but using fastboot devices command instead.

As long as you have not factory reseted the phone the usb debugging drivers will stay in the phone.

USB debugging should always be enabled by default in any custom Rom. The thing that will disable it is doing factory reset from hboot screen. But you can't get there anyways so it should be enabled. Start the phone as normal and let it go to splash screen. Plug into pc and be sure to check that pc sees the phone. If not, unplug phone. Uninstall drivers. Re install drivers and then plug phone back in. From adb type "adb devices". You should see your device. After that run the "adb reboot recovery". If it still doesn't see it plug phone into different port. Preferably one that goes straight into mother board and remove any other USB devices that are plugged in.

When you say "factory reset," do you mean that you ran a RUU? Or that you chose "factory reset" in recovery, so you still have a custom ROM installed? If the answer is the latter, you probably have USB Debugging enabled. Just give ADB a try.

Bump Bump Bump!!!

I have the same problem with HTC Desire HD!

And guess what? It belongs to my wife!!! And I have to give it back to her or I should stay several nights
in the street.... and instead of a pillow I should put a cat or something under my head!


Problem.... Stuck at htc boot screen... not able to enter recovery
I installed 4ext recovery ages ago....

the main problem is that the volume keys ( both up and down ) are broken and neither of them work!

adb restart recovery doesn't work
no device find!
yes I installed all the drivers, and I can boot other phones into recovery

What should I do?
Please help!
tanx!

How?

I installed the R26.2 successfully, the JB Rom I mean..

Then installed all the tweaks in PIMP my ride successfully again ( I am not a noob.... ;) )
That didn't triggered it...

At the end I was trying to install Int2ext+ and it happened....! I don't know why!
I had done this before on various phones.... I don't know what happened!

The only thing I was able to access so far was HTC BOOT SCREEN! :laugh: and I also
can access a choke hold from my wife soon :p I guess!

I don't know why these things always happen to her phone... other friends phones are fine when
I change their roms bla bla bla!

Pull the battery and then put it back. And try to boot, pressing power + volume down until you get hboot.
