press and hold the down sound button,
press and hold the power button until the multi-color screen appear.

I dont know if theres other way to enter bootloader mode in x1...
try to search...
or maybe you can try hardspl again.
try two thinks please:
ONE:
turn of your pda by holding long time power on/off until a message comes and ask you "turning of?" (i write the short version).
than try bootlader-modus by 1. press volume down and hold 2. press power on/off and hold.
dont shocking by vibration - hold both buttons until bootloader comes.
TWO:
your pda is quite normal?
than you dont need make finger-gym. open X1_HardSPL.exe and wait two or three seconds. it extracts some files. one of this is "EnterBootloader.exe"
copy this with usb/activesync or flashcard to root of your pda. go with fileexplorer (pda) to root and klicki-micki and you straight fly to bootloader-mode.

Love it!
But yes, make sure you done hardspl first. then power off phone then hold volume down and power do not let go of buttons until multicolour screen appears.
Tin.
TBH you don't need to hardspl to get to the tri-color bootscreen, just to flash with custom roms.
And if nothing works, remove and reinsert the battery then hold power+volume-down key until it vibrates and let them go when the screen shows up.
try taking the battery out first, then putting the battery back in. make sure that the phone is NOT connected via usb cable, or else it will automatically turn back on.
then use the power and lower volume key to enter bootloader mode.
Hi,
I've searched alot for this kinda problem but it seems I AM the only one who has this problem.
I had succesfully installed R2AA0010 UK ROM 4 months ago using Micro SD Method, but now when i'm trying to upgrade it to R3A version the Volume Down+Power Button is not working and I can make it to tri color screen. (Just nothing happens)
I've tried SSPL Manual as well but it stops on screen "Loading..." and nothing is happening!
Please help!!!

how to hard reset then?
EDIT: I've found how to hard reset but when i'm pressing the silver buttons they're also doing nothing. (The WM will come up normally)
I think i'm gonna lose it
You can just load the bootloader from the windows directory...
I think it is called botloader.exe
there is only 1 o... try to open that .exe bootloader should show up and you are ready to flash.

Use clear storage to hard reset....and if you are doing sd card method maybe you forgot to rename your file into kovsimg.nbh or whatever it's suppose to be

Yes, I can go to tricolor screen through windows but as i said it will stop at "Loading..." screen. I've read the instructions and I renamed it to kovsimg.nbh as well.
I cannot hard reset using the silver buttons but I did it with clear storage icon! but nothing changed!!!!
I think my topic is correct, I didn't mean that my vol down and power buttons are corrupted or damaged, I mean It's not working when i'm trying to flash!
Any Idea?

HR through settings
another way to hard reset it to go
start > settings > system tab > clear storage
then press 1234 and press yes
maybe your spl is a bit damaged cause you can't hard reset and you can't flash sspl
try flashing hspl again
to hard reset
switch off
press both silver buttons
just press power button briefly, dont hold power button.
keep pressing both silver buttons till reset screen
hope this helps.
Holy crap you guys I do not know why I triple posted...

Next time you can call this screen the bootloader screen... don't call it volume down and power button because it is very misleading...

U need to copy Rom which U want to upgrade to SD card. If u want cooked room so flash Hard-SPL, and then it will automatically install rom U want. or if stock Rom so flash Hard-SPL back to stocks.
I bought these two heros because one was beat up and was new.
Beat up one:
Had a clean esn but a bad body
New one:
Clean body but had a bad esn
So i had a guy swap the mother board from "the beat one" to the "new one"
and now the screen is stuck at the boot screen. Every once in a while it will restart after about 5-10 minutes.
So my question is what do i do??? where do i go to fix this?
is there anyway to master restart it to be normal?
help please! thank youuu!!!
Anyone with any thoughts or ideas? please help!
Wow, I think you went about this the wrong way - I would have personally pulled the clean esn from the old phone and put it on the new phone with the bad esn....
But either way - can you boot into recovery?
This is interesting
How do you pull a good esn into a bad one?
try and ruu first

How do you boot it into recovery?
i read how a bunch of post about master restarting it by
holding the 'home' and 'back key' then pressing the 'power button' once
then clicking the 'center button' but that didnt work.
With the phone powered off, press and hold the home key and turn the phone on. After a few seconds, you should either see a recovery menu, or a picture of a phone with an exclamation point. If it's the phone with an exclamation point, you don't have custom recovery.

Nothing happens its stuck on the HTC boot screen
Try this..
You need to turn the phone off and while it is off hold the volume up button. While holding it down press the power (end call) button. If a screen comes up we can help fix your phone.
yeaah a screen came up!!!!!!!
it says
<vol down> Hboot mode
<menu> reset device
<action> restart to HBoot
where do i go from here?

do you know where to go from here?
Read everything before downloading anything
RUU-ftp://hero:[email protected]/HTC%20Sprint%20Hero%20MR%202.27.651.6.exe
HTC Sync-http://member.america.htc.com/download/Driver/HTC%20Hero%20(Sprint)/HTC_Sync_2.0.40.exe
Android SDK- http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
This is assuming you are running windows.
Download the RUU on your computer. Run the file and follow the directions.
I am not sure if the RUU will install the drivers needed or not. If not, then download HTC sync and install. If at anytime it asks to connect your phone boot into fastboot (volume up and power). Then run the RUU.
If these fail download the Android sdk and follow the steps from their site. We will have to go a different route
I subscribed to the post so I will be notified immediately if you post something.
It failed to install the Sdk. do i just go ahead and try to run the RUU?
or if not im on the website
im downloading the Sdk right now
okay i downloaded everything and when i go on the andriod SDK it fails to download Android sdk

...you don't "install" the SDK. It's a zip files that contain needed tools for commands such as ADB.
Have you attempted to put the phone in Fastboot Mode and running the RUU? I've always found that to do the trick for picky phones.
Try running the RUU first. If it does not work you will need to unzip the android sdk to your c:\ drive. (c:\android-sdk)
But first I would try running the RUU and try and get the phone working
hi ...
i have HTC opal and from while i have install a new ROM and it's work ok
then after two week .. my phone does'nt work he hang at boot screen
is there any way to format it with out it working .... please any help .
try a hard rest
Don't worry, your device is not damaged. Follow the guide here to fix your problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685025
Note that you'll lose all data on your device when performing this fix. Hope you have a backup at hand!
Essential thing to be known:-
1. Bootloader mode Knowing how to enter into Bootloader mode is one of the most essential thing to be known for a opal user (windows mobile users).
How to enter?
There are two way to enter into bootloader mode.
1. If you device is on, open your device's back cover. Press the soft reset button ( red button ) using stylus. As soon as you press it, immediately press the volume down button and keep holding it until you see a tri-color screen on your device's screen.
2. If your device is off, press the power button as soon as the device vibrates immediately press volume down button and keep holding it until you see a tri-color screen on your device's screen.
Uses?
If you flashed a damaged rom, you would be no longer able to use your device. In that case enter into bootloader mode. And flash a different rom.

Good luck..
thnx .... i will try it ....
I have read that a hard reset is activated by:
1. Turn off.
2. Hold vol up/vol down/power on
3. Select Recovery using vol buttons and press power button
4. After several minutes, screen with red triangle will appear
5. Hold volume up and press return for menu to make hard reset
All goes well til #4. Here I get blank screen showing "Google" and it never moves into the red triangle picture and just freezes. I have waited over 20 minutes for the boot into recovery menu and nothing happens.
Have I missed a step or is something wrong? If onboard recovery process is broke is there a way to fix it? I would like to have access to hard reset should something dire go wrong.
No I am not rooted nor have I tried to root and have only loaded apps at this point.
Everything else is working fine and this appears to be an excellent device.
Thanks for any advice....
if you stuck on a screen, just hold power plus both volume buttons at the same time. hold it for a few seconds until you see your device reboot. hopefully you good after that. i got stuck on bootloader screen before and did that to get out of it. good luck!

I am stuck on the google logo right after i do recovery mode. i did what you said to get out of the google logo but i tried again to hard reset but it still is stuck on google logo. and i need to hardreset becuase i have forgot my lockscreen password and it is the only way i can get into the tablet.
oh ok. if that hard reset not working, might be better off trying to remember what the password was. you didnt write it down anywhere?
actually theres a way to reset it, or erase all of your data, go into developement section and check out wugfresh root tool kit or the one from Sambra. it will likely require you to unlock but all data n everything will be erased back to how it was out the box. thats your only hope. if you were rooted already, there mightve been a chance. but i think you have to run one of those tool kits to root and unlock. then itll automatically wipe the tablet clean of any previous data.

So the issue is that the tablet is freezing once you click "recovery" from the bootloader menu?
If thats the case - it's a pretty common known issue.
1) Boot into the bootloader
2) Plug the device into a USB port on your computer
3) Click recovery
That should allow you to access the recovery menu.

After step 1 when i plug it into my laptop if freezes and i can no choose recovery mode
Same here - anybody got any solutions/suggestions?
I had trouble getting into recovery earlier, so I installed CW Recovery via Fastboot,
http://www.androidauthority.com/nexus-7-clockworkmod-recovery-6-0-1-0-install-103346/
Now it works, before it was just sitting on that Google screen.
Forgot Pin lock
If you set a pin lock on your tablet make sure you remember it!!!
Apparently google or asus can't do anything so you would have to send it back for a replacement tablet.
Google customer service told me they are aware that the hard reset does not work for nexus 7 tablet.
And they might not even fix the known problem.
Plug the device into the computer before you reset it, otherwise the hardware buttons won't work in the bootloader.

I know how you can hard reset it
step 1) install android sdk
step 2) plug tablet into computer
step 3) boot into bootloader
step 4)
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot oem lock
step 5) enjoy factory reset tablet

Maybe if you unlock and root the tablet, that might work. But on a unrooted or locked tablet the hard reset does not work at all. Gets stuck at the google logo. Pluging it to the computer or without it won't work. Kinda silly isn't it?

You need to have bootloader driver installed. It comes with the SDK - after booting into bootloader, plug the tablet in, wait for Windows to try installing default drivers, then select to find driver manually and navigate to <sdk>\extras\google\usb_driver. After the driver is successfully installed, keys start working again and the tablet boots into recovery successfully.

I also have one of those tablets that doesn't boot into recovery if you choose it from bootloader no matter if you hook it up to computer, don't hook up to computer, stand on your head, put your ankles behind your head, or beg it. It just freezes at the google screen.
So the quoted part, is your solution.

AFAIK, for fastboot to work, bootloader drivers need to be installed.
Fastboot works. But can't enter recovery from the bootloader menu.

Does fastboot reboot recovery work? Lock/unlock erases the device, so if you're trying to do factory reset, perhaps that's all you need?

Ya that works, if I use the os to enter recovery, no problems. Or adb commands to enter recovery, no problems. Just can't boot to recovery from boot loader with the recovery option in the boot loader menu.

Hi willter12,
Can you fix this issue?
I had the same problem, however, my N7 was rooted before. I recognized that my N7 CWR had been removed when rooted (another guy did it).
So, I installed the Toolkit from this and un-lock boot loader, flash back CWR, everyting was very OK to restore to stock. :victory:
Goodluck.
