Bootloader Screen? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am rooted and was just going to try and install the new radio when I noticed I can not get into the bootloader screen anymore. I power off then hold the Volume down and Power at the same time instead of the bootloader it is just powering back on. Any help is appreciated
Last where do you go to see the radio version that is currently loaded?
Thank, figured it out!

Radio version is in the Settings > About Phone on a Sense rom I believe, I'm on CM7 so it's a tiny bit different.
Hold vol- first, then press and hold the power button. I believe pressing power first then vol- doesn't "activate" the bootloader so to speak.

Make sure fast boot is off.

Or since your rooted get quick boot from market and just click on bootloader and it reboots in bootloader

How do you boot into Hboot?

Whenever I turn off my phone and try and hold down the volume key, it vibrates and then restarts. Pretty much bypassing my ability to get into HBoot. I even wait for almost a minuter before starting the phone. Only thing that seems to works is a battery pull but this is a pain. So what am I missing here?
Thanks
app "quickboot" should work. Also, power down, then while off, hold vol down press power. also, adb reboot bootloader. also, in terminal emulator, reboot bootloader. Most of those should work.
I tried the vol down but like I said it wasn't working. Quickbook works great so thanks.

Quick boot is the easiest, imo. The reason volume down and power wasn't working is because you have fastboot enabled. To disable it go to menu-settings-power and then uncheck fastboot.

Bootloader

Hallo alle,
I have a question, how can I get in the bootloader? Power + volume down?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D
That is correct. Make sure to uncheck fastboot in your settings, or restart your phone. When choosing to restart, watch LEDs go out at the bottom of the phone. When they go out, hold volume down.

Yup, power & volume -.....Make sure fastboot is unchecked in settings>power. You could also download quick boot from the market, which will allow you to boot to the bootloader or recovery straight from the rom. Also a lot of the updated custom roms have these options built into the power button prompt.
You can make sure by pulling the battery for a few seconds before powering on and holding down the down volume. That is how I first did mine.
many thanks guys!!

Power menu unavailable when holding the power button

Running CleanRom 2.5, my phone previously presented me with a Power menu when holding down the power button. This allowed me to either Shutdown or Reboot. Now, whenever I hold the power button down, it reboots automatically without offering me any choices. What causes this and how can I fix it?

you flashed something that broke the powermenu
only way to get it back is nandroid or reinstall cleanrom

yep, unfortunately, installing tweaks like AutoBrightness Patch or Tether Patch breaks the power menu.

[Q] droid dna pin locked help

I have been able to do hard resets on droids before. This droid HTC DNA I cannot get it to HARD reset at all. Ive read a few sites, even information on HTC's website, youtube videos.
holding vol down and power does nothing but boot the phone normally and then prompts for a (forgotten') pin lock screen
Does anyone know the for sure how to do a hard reset on DROID DNA? the factory reset menu never comes on. the vol up and down keys work fine.
Hold down power. The buttons should blink. This will hard reboot the device. Once it shuts off, hold down volume also. This should send you to the hboot screen where factory reset option is available.
Be sure not to hold down volume - until the phone hard reboots.

I hold down power it gives me the 3 seconds countdown until restart, screen goes black after 3 seconds but its still booted never restarted. (im guessing this phone has fastboot enabled and I cannot disable it because pin lock is on)
Odd, I have fast boot enabled on Viper and did what I mentioned with no issues.
Edit: are you still holding power down after screen shuts off and then pressing vol down also?

Can you do adb reboot bootloader?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
just press and hold volume down and power for ten seconds or until it boots into hboot and if you are going straight to fastboot unplug from a usb cable and select bootloader

[Q] Oh Crap, Did I Just Brick My Phone?

I was attempting to flash over a new ROM. The sense 5.5 that just released. using the fastboot/hboot wasn't working so I tried to install from TWRP recovery, still not working. I then wiped my phone and did a factory reset, including the ROM wipe on TWRP. It booted up without an OS and now I can only get the boot screen to appear but the phone won't shut off. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
Hold the power button down until the screen turns off, then immediately hold the volume down button until it boots back into hboot. (You don't have to keep holding the power button after the screen turns off) other than that I have no idea what your post is about or what you were trying to do.

Thanks for the reply. At 1am, sometimes you just need someone to talk you down from the ledge!

I've had some issues trying to flash new 4.3 roms on new TWRP, install fails after few seconds, screen goes dark, then HTC screen w red dev text comes up, have to hold power button to restart into bootloader/recovery. Seems to help to reboot recovery after wiping and before flashing the rom for me
