Root Boot loop problem after flashing theme

[Ethicist]

Oh man. So similar to the problem I've got at the moment, hoping I can piggy back off this a little bit.

I have a Desire HD. I had the same issue with the boot loop of the ICS screen. Unfortunately I also seem to have a completely screwed volume down button. I therefore can't seem to get into recovery mode, also no luck talking to the phone in ADB. Basically, I switch my phone on, it brings up the HTC logo and then just loops the ICS animation. Have taken the battery out and left it for a while, tried ADB (looks like usb debugging was off!), tried various things without luck. Sadly I had clockwork mod up to date and a backup in place but yeah, with volume down not working, it don't help much!

Can anyone advise a way I might get around this? It's looking like my only option might be getting my volume down button repaired, which will be fairly costly.

EDIT: Sorry, I realise this is an SII specific forum but I can't figure out how to delete this post .

I've moved your post to the Desire HD section as something that works for the SGS2 may not be good for the DHD. Better safe than sorry!

Read this from XDA:

You better hope you left USB debugging on.

Download http://www.iloveabath.co.uk/adb.zip & unzip
Pull your battery & reinsert
Plug into your PC & wait for the orange charging LED
Open a command prompt window
Within command prompt navigate to the folder you unzipped adb to
Run this command,

adb reboot recovery
