Root evo v 3d booting into bootloader

[tfsigler]

Rooted, romed (harmonia). Returned to stock rom (jmz's odexed stock). Can no longer boot into bootloader using vol down button and power button. Can still get into bootloader using adb. Solution? Phone still showes to be unlocked. Restored first backup, and it acts like regular v mobile. But will not boot into bootloader.

Hello tfsigler, welcome to Android Forums.

I'm going to move this over to our Evo V 4G "All Things Root" section where the folks that know that phone best can hopefully help you get this figured out. Best of luck!

Hmm does your phone have an option to reboot into boot loader?

When I had Harmonia installed it did, but going back stock changed that. So, no.

What does it do when you try to enter bootloader using vol down + power? Just boot up like normal?

Yep, boots normal.
Root explorer tells me I'm not rooted.
SuperSU tells me there is no binary installed.

Before we try anything drastic, grab ROM toolbox from the market, using that, try rebooting into your boot loader.

Edit to your edit: let me see if I can get Brian or Scotty over here. They can further help you with that situation.

not sure what is wrong exactly but i do wanna make sure you are doing the right thing to get into bootloader...

first hold the volume down button
next just tap (dont hold) the power button while still holding the volume button
keep holding volume down until you get into bootloader

Try a battery pull and then using volume down + power. It sounds like fastboot is enabled in your settings which will prevent you from getting into your bootloader without first doing a battery pull. Then when you're booted up, disable fastboot.

Nice Brian wouldn't have thought about that, and this is why I dragged you here.

thank you all for your help. I reflashed jmz's stock shooter and got back full root.
After powering down, pulled battery and tried vol - and power button...went straight to bootloader!! Will unmark fastboot! Many thanks again.
