If you are just trying to get into recovery you hold volume up and down and power, when at&t comes up you let go of all three
Where did you get the version if froyo you are on, is it a custom rom?

if getting into recovery doesn't work, you could try getting the phone into download mode and flashing the stock rom with one click odin. download mode is achieved by holding both volume buttons down and plugging the usb cable in, with the other end plugged into your computer of course. you must also have the one click odin downloaded open on your computer before doing this. I'd also recommend using the odin one click with the 3 button fix because the more recently bought captivated seem to have it disabled. hope this helps.

Bricked XL

i think i bricked my XL...
i jz install bindroid full wipe, wiped data,cache,calv,bettery stats,
then i rebooted my phone.
after that, the screen shows only "bb.anzhi.com", the power button and volume button are not working at all, its just stucked...
someone help please =(

Have you actually flashed a rom to the phone? Because to me it looks like you've just wiped everything and not flashed a rom. What rom are you on at the minute?

i was on WRE.. i did not flash any ROM that time.. i just rebooted it after wiped..

Have you already done the battery pull and restart into recovery again, does it work, can you use recovery again? If so just flash another rom and it should be ok, if not get phone into fastboot and try to flash the Paul O'Brien recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362648 Its better than the anzhi recovery

the power button is not responding.. i cant turn off my device.
is it ok if i just pull off the battery while its turning on?

Yeah it should be fine... I'm guessing its just the recovery thats at fault and once rebooted it should start working again

alright its fixed.. thanks alot vertigo!

How to in recovery mode?

I have HTC INCRDIBLE S with original rom 2.3 i now to use other rom can any1 please guide me how to get into recovery mode? I did try vol down + power but it is not working my phone turns on normally even after doing this. can any1 plz guide me on this??

Go into settings and turn off 'fastboot mode'. I think its in power settings ? Been a long time since I looked for it.

You want to go into recovery mode?
make sure fast boot is unchecked in power settings
turn your phone off
take the battery out to make sure its off
put it back in and hold volume down + power for about 4 seconds until you come to a white screen
And provided you have a custom recovery installed, use volume and power buttons to go to recovery
hope that answered your question

Here is a tutorial:

A simply Google search would provide you with the answer. ClockworkMod and 4Ext are 2 of the options you have.
You also could have found the information by simply reading the sticky posts in the section and the Development section.

You can use this method without disabling fastboot option in settings. Just click "reboot" and wait all lights are turned off. On the time, press and hold "volume down" immediately and wait for three android at the bottom on the screen. If you saw them, you suceed. Reboot option is fully turn off the phone and turn on with a fresh workspace for the booting. Just like a computer.

Easiest way to get a recovery is to download rom manager from the market/play store and flash recovery from within the app
you need to be rooted though

[Q] Stuck on Htc Logo and can not power off

Hi Everyone;
I unlocked my phone for flashing custom rom. After unlocking i reebooted it and was normal. Then i flashed cwm via htc one toolkit. It was successfull as well. Then i go to cwm and made factory reset + wipe cache + dalvik cache. Then i go to install zip from sd card but i could not find my rom file. Thought, it was deleted while unlocking device. Then decided to reboot phone again to copy rom file into the phone and reboot.
But, when i rebooted phone from cwm, it stuck on HTC Logo( Quietly Brilliant screen). Waited sometime, but nothing happened. Then i tried to power off it and boot into bootloader or recovery. I press and hold power button but it does not respond anyhow. When i am holding power button ,back and home buttons are blinking but nothing happens. Almost five minutes i waited as holding down power button but phone does not power off anyhow. i tried all methods like vol down + power, vol up + power and both volume keys + power. But really nothing happens, just blinking back and home buttons. That's all.
I can not simply power off device. :crying:
I also tried boot device via fastboot commands but it says "waiting for device" means computer does not recognize device.
Guys, i need an urgent help. Please...

just keep trying to reboot via holding power or power+vol down. if it doesnt reboot after 30 sec or so let go then try again. if that doesnt work you will have to wait for the battery to die. once you get to bootloader use all in one toolkit to erace cache. then boot to recovery and you rom should be there if not boot back to bootloader and sideload rom

First thank you for your quick reply. Unfortunatelly, power+vol down does not work at all. Maybe i tried 50 times.
Anyhow, after battery die. How can i boot into bootloader. I mean, can phone be charged again in this situation? Also, even if i manage to boot into bootloader or recovery how can i put custom rom file into phone. Actually, i did not use sideload or whatever you mentioned before.
I am serouisly confused now and don't know what to do.
Anyhow, as you said, firlst i need wait to battery die i think. Then i will report back whats happen.
Thank you again btw.

yes your not the first person with this problem. hold power+vol down to get into bootloader. press power button in bootloader to get in fast boot mode. use all in one toolkit to erase cache and side load rom. i recommend all in one toolkit because it automates the process. just select the option then follow on screen steps

Good to hear that i am not the first person That means somehow there is a solution i beleive. Still waiting for battery die. even i had 50 percent battery at the begining but still it holds on I never say again htc battery is bad
I exeprienced that stucking on boot logo several times before with my other htc phones but holding power + vol down/up worked always. This is the first time for me that i faced with power button can not power off device.. Well, ,i hope i wish i can handle out this problem. Definetley with your help.
Regards,

I am having the same problem and don't know what to do :crying:
Today I just got my One. Unlocked bootloader, rooted, flashed Android Revolution rom. Everything worked fine for a while... I wanted to reinstall the rom because I wanted to change some options in the installer - I did not wipe because it was the same rom (big mistake I guess!!). After making the installation option changes, when it was done it proceeded to reboot but now I am stuck in a white HTC logo boot loop hell... (with the red text at the bottom that says "this build is for development purposes only" etc). Holy crap I never had a phone that I could not remove the battery. I cannot get this back into recovery or ANYTHING, it just keeps looping... computer recognizes it, no problem with drivers or anything it just doesn't stay connected long enough (because of the constant looping) to be able to use the toolkit.
PLEASE any advice?? Can't even shut it down omg. Do I have a $600 brick here? :crying::crying:

Did you read the other posts in this thread? The way you do a "battery pull" on this phone is to HOLD the PWR + VOL DOWN button for ~15seconds. Your capactivie buttons will blink, too. On my device, it took exactly 15seconds to reboot. There have been some reports of some phones that get so stuck that you just have to wait until the battery dies and charge it back up.
Alternatively, if the computer is recongizing it, try to adb reboot recovery to try and get into the recovery.

hi again. this morning my battery finally out. Then i put my phone to the charger and started it in fastboot mode( that is a good new) Then i left it for 20-30 minutes to charge a little bit for flashing custom rom.Then i went to recovery and started adb sideload. Sideload was succesful and finally came to aroma installer of trickdroid. I chose my installation options and started to flash rom but process was frozen on 10 percent. It was saying unmount system, unmount cahce and both of them has notification as "already unmounted". But installation was not going on. Then again i tried to go back fasboot mode again by press and holding power+vol down but unfortunatelly lights are blinking but nothing happens again. I think i need to wait to battery die again.
Isn't it quite weird? Why power+vol down combination does not work for me anytime? So, do i need to wait for battery die in every frozen? Do you have any ideas or comments ?
Do i need to go back to stock first ?
EDIT : Battery was out again and i tried once more. This time installation (trick droid) was successful but it frozen at the end this time. And unfortunatelly i can not restart (power+vol down) it again again Holy crap, i am really pissed off with this problem.

O..K...Finally, i managed to start my phone and now it works... Especially thank you skinsfanbdh for your support.
But still i don't know how to solve button configuration problem. But anyhow i think i won't need quite sometim to use it I hope someone can find a solution for that later.

Guide me with steps please
