[Q] Hboot - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Has anyone figure out what the Hboot version is? or how to boot into Hboot? I tried power + volume down and held it there for a while and when I let go it booted normally. Do we have to use adb to boot it into Hboot?
I would just like to know.

You have to disable fast boot (or whatever HTC calls it) first

Yup, go into Settings > Power > uncheck fast boot. Turn off phone, when off, press and hold power and volume down. That will be the bootloader.

[Q] Booting into Recovery

ok i just got an atrix and im aa bit uncertain about booting into CWM. i know on other phones ive had, i had to boot up with volume down and power. i tried that and nothing works, boots up like normal. tried volume up and power to. my bootloader should be unlocked, the boot screen that says motorola dual core says unlocked in the corner. CWM is installed, i flashed gapps, cuz the person i got it from forgot to put them on. any idea on how i can fix this?
(Download Rom Manager & install the cwm from itif your cwm is not working?)
Power + volume down takes you to the options, there you need to scroll down (with volume down) and use volume up for choosing android recovery.

Strange.. Are you keeping volume down pressed until you would have seen the options, you're not letting go before that or so? Is the volume rocker still functioning ok?
Otherwise just try quick boot from the market.

im holding it in until i see the logo, and yes the rocker is working properly. and i know i can boot into recovery by other means while the phone is on but what if i get a bootloop. i wouldnt be able to fix it, unless i had a computer with me so i could use adb to enter recovery

Hold power and volume down, keep holding volume down until you see the word fastboot appear. Then press the volume down button (7 times I think), until you see android recovery, then press the volume up button.
That should do it!

I never see it say fastboot, it just says unlocked up in the corner. All the time, when I'm not even trying to boot to recovery. I'm assuming that means the bootloader iis unlocked. But I do exactly what you guys are saying and I never see fastboot or anything like that

Something must have gotten messed up when you flashed a rom.. I'd say try flashing a fruitcake and start from there.

i dont know what happened but it just started working. i flashed darkside and wanted to try aura.but to download a rom via rom manager it makes you reflash reg. cwm, so i reboot into recovery after its flashed and reflash romracer cwm, and then reboot and flash aura. then i think hey ill try 1 more time and it works now. thanks for all of your help

Can't boot into recovery

Well it appears I had a bad flash with cm10 and the inverted gapps. I tried holding down volume up home and power to boot into recovery but it just tries to boot into the phone. I also tried volume down home and power same thing. I finally tried volume up volume down and power and still booted into the phone. Anyone have any ideas?
Did you let the buttons go as soon as the phone vibrates?

Are you able to boot into ODIN download mode? If so, you can flash CWM and then pull the battery after and go straight into recovery.

I wasn't able to do anything without using the toolkit to reboot into recovery. CWM is installed but I can't seem to boot into it. I used rom manager to reflash CWM not sure if it's fixed it yet.
Are you able to boot the phone period? or just into recovery?

Yeah I'm able to boot the phone. I downloaded a different set of gapps now that I'm about to flash. The good thing about CM10 is the extended reboot menu so I'm able to get into CWM from there. I'll post back after the gapps finish downloading (the USB hookup isn't working on this rom yet )
Well I finally got my phone to work but I skill can't boot into recovery when the phone is turned off. Any ideas? ;(

Volume up, Home, Power - when the FIRST Samsung flashes, let go of everything but volume up. Should get you there.

HELP? broken power button & need to get to boot loader

I'm in a bind, I flashed wrong kernel on my s-off original hboot shows NOTHING. Complete black screen although its fully booted cuz I can feel haptic feedback when i press the back button. Problem is my power button is not working properly, it has a short so I cant hold the power + vol down to get to bootloader. Is there anything else I can do to (excluding use of holding the power button) get back to twrp while its booted in this state?

i would split the phone case and see if you can get to where the power button touches the micro switch. or use adb reboot-bootloader

nice! good job bud, just keep ADB and Fastboot on your comp. it really comes in handy

fast boot enabled, locked and unable to get into recovery

I have an htc droid dna running cyanfox 4.4 its locked and i cannot get into it, it also has fast boot enabled so i cannot reboot into recovery, what do i do? Ive looked but cannot find anything like it.
Plug your phone into your computer. open a command prompt in your platform-tools folder, and type adb reboot bootloader. This will reboot your phone into bootloader, and from there you can access your recovery to do whatever you need to.

Sorry i forgot to mention but my usb debugging isnt enabled. And it being locked i cannot get into it to enable the usb debugging or disable the fast boot.
You are running a custom rom?
In any event, hold down power until it hard reboots. Once the screen shuts off, keep holding down the power button and press the volume down button at the same time, this should boot you into bootloader to access recovery.

Yes i do have a custom rom. I tried your tip but it did not help. When i tried (while the phone was on) the phone shut off and the second the screen went blank i pushed down the volume. But it did the same thing as always. Htc logo flashes twice then it boots up.

No, password locked so i cant get into the phone and change settings. And i cant do a factory reset because the phone has fast boot mode enabled, and i dont have usb debugging enabled. So im in a corner here. I was hoping disconnecting the battery would work like a hard reboot and kick off the fast boot but it did not work.

You don't need usb debugging enabled to do fastboot commands.
Fastboot oem task 28
Should wipe data for you.

As ive said before, the phone is not in fastboot mode for programming. The fast boot im talking about is the mode on some phones that makes it boot up faster because it doesnt turn the phone completely off. Because of that i cannot reboot into my recovery or fastboot.

Holding power and volume up until you detect the reboot and then switching to holding only volume down overrides that. Make sure when doing this you are not plugged in.
Soooo, why not just input the password to unlock the phone, just a shot in the dark OR give it back to whom you stole it from?

I did not steal this phone. It was stolen from me. That is why i know everything on the phone, except the password. And the volume up and power method did not work for me.

Correct. Do not let go of the Vol Down Button until the white screen ask you if you want to reset. And answer YES to both questions.

IF you do have TWRP installed it will take you to it. If you dont then ... Good luck.
You can always download Terminal Emulator
Type in
Code:
su
Press Enter
Code:
reboot recovery
Press Enter
Instead of Terminal Emulator, You can download G-Script Lite.
Its basically just like Terminal Emulator but you can save commands like reboot recovery.
Its the only thing I really use it for since my Power Menu doesnt have the option yet.

I cant use my device at all. When it boots up i get system UI stopped working repetitively. I can boot into download mode and fastboot mode. i had TWRP installed and had no name rom running and booted into TWRP then did a data, dalvik and cache wipe and started getting this issue so i believe TWRP is still installed. Im running windows 10 and the LG Flashtool stops working while trying to read the phone information
