[Q] Sensation XL cant boot after changed button config - HTC Sensation XL

Hi , i have a htc sensation xl which is in good nic.
The power button managed to die and i decided for the mean time to change the power button config to the volume button.
The software asked me to reboot the phone and i disconnected the battery and tried to turn it on by plugging it into charge or into the pc while holding the volume down key..
Now the issue is im sure is that since it is set to volume it doesn't want to boot.
Is there anyway around this?
or is it stuck until the power button is fixed?
Also to fix it do i need to replace the whole upper flex which includes the power button volume sensor etc
Cheers

[Q] No Hard Reset

My HD7 is stuck on the start-up HTC screen. If left for a few mins. it goes to the screen showing Phone- USB cable -PC and thats it.
I tried hard reset: volume up/down held down + power on/off. No matter how long I hold these buttons down it does not go to the boot loader screen, infact it goes to the same screen as mentioned Phone-USB-PC.
When I hold down volume button + camera +power on/off the tri-colour screen appears for a few seconds but then does to the white screen saying "Enter USB Host Mode"
Zune comes up with error C101002E and trying to flash it with O2 rom the error 260, no comms
Can I do anything to restore this?
I've just found out it has no memory card! Would this stop it from booting past the start-up screen?
Yes I bought it as faulty, so I thought a reset would do it. Its not dead, far from it but I just need pointing in the right direction
Hold volume up + down at the same time and click power once while continuing to hold BOTH volume buttons...
If that doesn't work and u haven't hacked ur fone ibwould call for a replacement .... I'm sending mine back cuz mine is constantly freezing and rebooting by itself

please help me out guys
i think the answer already at the comment section on the video you posted.
it will be hardware problem (power button / mainboard) or your firmware. try to change your rom with full wipe. if it still exist, it is hardware problem I believe.
how to wipe the total rom as i am on new hboot
Its a hardware problem. Phone's power button is malfunctioning and you need to send back to vendor to repair/replace power button.
Change or remove if you are using any Phone Cover/Case.
Power+Home key is the combination to take a screen shot and this means your phone's power button is constantly getting pressed automatically. I believe ROM wont fix this problem unless power button is fixed.

Ativ S Blue Screen After Boot

I have bought a Second hand Ativ S and it turned out to be dev unit, it worked for the most part(occasional crashes), but recently it broke.
After it boots it gets me to a blue screen and then powers off. I can still access the download mode and the system files via USB. But I want to do a factory reset of some sort or at least be able to use it.
Can someone help me out with this? Is there a possibility to re flash it? or is there a combination of buttons i don't know about?

have tried to hard reset the phone by this steps?
If you can't access your phone's Settings page:
1.Turn off your phone.
2.Turn on your phone again by pressing the volume down button until you see the exclamation mark
3.Then, reset the phone by pressing the following four buttons in this order: Volume up, Volume down, Power, Volume down.
4.Your phone should now reset and restart itself. (It might take a while for the process to complete.)
And it didn't work for you? If not you have go to a Samsung store, probably they will flash you a normal OS to your phone...

I've tried that...it didn't work. I've also went to Samsung and apparently it made it worse. Initially my problem had a blue screen after booting but after I took it back from service the blue screen has disappeared and now the phone just powers down after the boot. THe guys at Samsung told me that the don't have the device number in their database and that the cannot do anything to it....so i'm hopping that some tool will pop-up and I'll be able to flash the device from home.
Also being an Engineering unit when I power the device based on your description it doesn't show me an exclamation mark it just goes dark and if i hook it up to the pc it shows as mass USB storage, and I can access the files on it. So there is something i'm missing for this device in particular.
Thanks anyway for your support.
Thank you again Jackson5...Really...Thank you, i've almost lost hope...after seeing your post and replying to it I said ....what the heck...lets try that again, and it worked...not with your steps exactly...I put the phone into a charger and it started to power up...Windows logo power down..and again power up and shutting down....Meanwhile I pressed Up on the volume and the exclamation mark appeared. and from there, suffice to say that I have a phone, again. So Thanks again

Same problem, help...
It seems Ive got the same problem with my Ativ S, I've tried everything and nothing is working...
Sorry, but can you tell me what buttons exactly and in what order did you press to get to the exclamation mark screen, please? I am sorry but I really cannot understand your explanation (your post) very well, you said:
"Windows logo power down..and again power up and shutting down....Meanwhile I pressed Up on the volume..."
Do you mean logo + power or logo + power + volume down or something else? I cannot understand the part "again power up and shutting down" either...
Thanks

If the phone powers down due to blue screen or any other problem you might encounter, connecting it to a power source will make your phone restart...so basically what happens is the Phone powers up reaches the error and shuts down, but because is plugged to a power source it will power back up. So while you are plugged with the device keep pressing those buttons... Having a Dev unit apparently it worked with the Vloume Up ...
-Press the Volume Down Key + Power Key to turn on the unit
- Still hold the volume down key, the release Power Key.
- Wait for the startup screen booting with an exclamation mark " ! " then release the volume down key.
- Press the following buttons in the following order: press the volume up (high volume key) ==> press volume key down (low volume key) ==> press the power key ==> press volume down key.
- Wait a moment and look at the screen, a message such as loading new software will start the hard reset process

[Q] Bricked my HTC One GE. Anyone have any ideas how to fix it?

I was trying to force the 4.3 update and ended up with a bricked HTC One Google Edition. I was holding down the power button to bring up the option for Airplane Mode and didn't realize I was holding down the Volume Down button too. The capacitive buttons flashed a few times and the phone shut down. I plugged it in to the charger but didn't get the charging LED. I plugged it in to my PC, but it didn't see the phone. Any ideas what may have happened and if or how I can fix it? The phone is completely stock. I didn't try to unlock the bootloader or root the phone.
What happens when you try to boot the phone?
AT&T HTC One
GPe 4.3
Remove the battery.... Lol
I think this happened to me. Just power button or remove the USB and then do the power and vol down and see if you can boot into hboot. It's for sure not bricked. Pressing buttons wouldn't cause that to happen

Nothing at all. I've tried all combinations of power button alone and power button with volume up/down/both. I'd hate to think I killed my phone because I fat fingered the volume button.
Ok, it stopped being a ****. I found another post suggesting holding the Volume Up and Power. After about 90 seconds it buzzed itself back to life. I appreciate the quick response to my question. I'm just going to wait for my 4.3 notification now lol.

Try holding down power and volume down while holding proximity sensor under a bright light. If that does not work, try fastboot erase cache
