So.... Been playing with this for the last two days trying to root this phone.
I've rooted a few other phones, so I do have experience with the overall process, but I am unable to even boot this phone into Recovery. I have tried booting into recovery by holding down both volume buttons + power and from adb terminal "adb reboot recovery."
Neither method works. The phone will boot (or reboot from adb) and brings up the "at&t World Phone" screen and then nothing else appears. The first time I tried this it actually wouldn't boot up even after pulling the battery and trying to start normally, it still sat at the same screen. I let it sit all day today at the screen until the battery died. I was finally able to get it to boot up earlier.
If anyone can help, that'd be greatly appreciated. Let me know what info I need to add.
I usually just press and hold both volume buttons and power then release just the power button and keeping the volume buttons still pushed on the 2nd time the white at&t screen pops up... Works for me every time.

hold volume up+down and power key btw this is wrong section to post supposed to be in general
Oh sorry, didn't realize it was supposed to be posted in general.
I've tried the Volume Up/Down + Power and this does not work, as I stated originally.
I've also tried to do it from the adb shell, which also does not work.
Does anyone have any idea why I can't access recovery?
I"m having a similar issue. Holding volume up+down and power and releasing in any combination just boots the phone up. If I just hold volume up+down and power the phone alternates between the AT&T World Phone screen endless.
Yes u have to let go of the pwr button when the phone screen turns on

I've tried just about every combination of the Volume Up/Down + Power and no luck.
I've also tried the following ADB commands, with no luck, it just reboots the phone:
adb reboot recovery
adb reboot-boatloader
When I hold Volume Down + Power I get the a Yellow Triangle with a Android guy with a shove with the text "Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!"
When I hold Volume Up + Power I get an Android guy with the following text: "POWER RESET or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE"
For kicks, I tried to to flash a rooted update.zip via the Volume Down + Power way with the Samsung update software, the same way I have done with the Samsung Moment. Wasn't sure if it'd work, but worth a try.
Any one else have any ideas or suggestions?
Phishie, do you have a final release version? Or anything special about the phone you have?
I just press the two volume buttons first (to make sure theyre pressed before you hit power), then press the power button, as soon as the screen turns on, I let go of everything and it works just fine, no need to have ridiculously complicated instructions.
The trick is to make sure both volume buttons are pressed BEFORE you hit power. Then release. Easy as pie
Also, if you guys are having too much trouble, just download the one click root/unroot. It will run, boot your phone into recovery, then all you have to do is scroll to install packages with volume key and hit power. Done.
Trust me, I am making sure I'm pretty the keys completely. I've literally tried it fifty times by now.
And I've also tried the One Click Root. This does not boot the phone into recovery either. It just sits at the AT&T World Phone screen forever and will actually get stuck here and will not boot up normal even by pulling the battery and powering it back up. It'll just get stuck at the for-mentioned screen. I have to connect it to adb and reboot it there to get it out of the loop it's stuck in.
that doesnt sound good. Maybe you need to try a factory reset? are you running stock rom and everything?
When I first got the phone I did a factory reset.
Yea, it's completely stock to my knowledge. But I have a different ROM than the final release version that everyone else has. This is a pre-production device.
same problem
I try all the combos as well, no luck, would the combos be different for 2e vs 3e recovery?
I try combo, it powers on, the same thing happens, the at-t comes up, goes for a second, then screen brightens, wait a bit and then the home row buttons light up, hangs there... doesnt matter which kernel or which rom I flash, same thing, adb and other stuff wont work as they need usb debugging enabled, which mine isn't.
Is there a way to mod the phone files and flash to enable usb debugging? Anyway to remap the buttons to 2 button vs 3 button?
Everyone post your methods for entering recovery please?
When I tried to disable the voodoo lagfix my phone froze, after about 20 minutes i decided to pull the battery and now the phone freezes when trying to boot and even after plugging in the charger, it freezes on the battery load symbol. Unfortunately, the 3 button way to get to the recovery menu doesn't work. help me please??
I'm having the same problem - phone just hung on the kernel load screen (firebird 2) after trying to shut off lagfix - although I can get to a red recovery mode menu. Not that it's helping at this time. It would be nice if I could recover without a clean wipe of the phone.
Anyone have any ideas. I'll be scouring the threads...
You could try making a jig and flashing to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841512
how are you getting to the red recovery menu?
i have the same kernel and i'm running the firefly 1.5 rom
I can't boot into anything and the only solution i have so far is to make a jig or buy one and not have a phone for a little bit, which is going to suck..
I've tried the following combinations, just because I know people are going to ask.
1. take out battery, sim, etc.
2. leave out for about 15 seconds
3. plug in the battery, plug in usb and hold two volume buttons-> freezes while trying to load battery status
3.b same precedure as above except plug in usb first hold volume buttons then battery-> still frozen
3.c hold volume buttons, battery, then power button, let it cycle atleast 2 times and let go of power at att logo while holding the volume-> frozen at kernel loader
3.d same as above but with only one volume button at a time, both up and down-> no cigar
3.e all the precedures above while wildly pressing all the soft keys (home, search, yadda yadda) out of frustration -> thinking, gosh i'm screwed
did i miss out any secret other combinations or methods known to work?
I'd really like to do this without hardware, but making a jig kinda sounds like a fun project and i do have a soldering iron in storage somewhere...

I'm afraid not. This happened to someone I know and they told samsung the OTA update bricked it and AFAIK they fixed it for free. They never tried using a jig though, so if you don't want to wait to replace it or anything you could try a jig since it might work and the parts are pretty easy to get (and if you'd be replacing the phone, a jig is ALWAYS good to have anyway)
Just another note to throw in there, the computer recognizes the phone, but strangely my computer freezes while trying to read the media storage drives. I can't tell if the internal sd is mounted because of the ever-lasting wait but i'm almost positive its not.

nope, it says "error device is offline"
You could try ... when the phone is booting and trying to catch it before it freezes is spam the heck out of the command adb reboot download then after hitting the enter button hit the up arrow and keep repeating until either the phone a) hopefully goes into download mode or b) freezes and throws the error.
Who knows.. might get lucky.

it connects even though the phone is frozen. I'm heading over to "The Shack" pretty soon and just making a jig.
Thanks for all your help everyone.
Edit: Just confirming that with much dedication and a steady hand I finally have my captivate up and running with the help of the resistors. I also flashed the 3 button fix stock rom.
Well, I kept trying the least invasive methods first. Tried to reflash Firebird. Then went adb and such. In the end, it was pretty clear that it had hung at the lagfix correction, and I was dealing with a file system error. I was eventually able to get into download mode. The hardest discovery was finding that I had gotten the wrong drivers from samsung. The ones in the [stock rom] odin master clear page were what I should have been using. When I loaded those, the computer recognized that I had a phone and not a "serial gadget" and then I knew I was close. Odin finally saw the phone, and a couple tries at "light" re-stocking failed at file analysis, so I did the repartition (aha, file system error), and it shot through the whole process and I had my phone back and flashed to Serendipity in about 20 minutes.
But I would like to know about the red menu. That was unexpected (blue for standard, green for cwm).
No need for a jig. I had access to some phone functions, most importantly, download mode.

I'll tell you guys the whole story of the phone, in case you find something related to the actual problem in here.
All started when a friend of mine got me interested in ROMs and other modification his phone had.
I learned by myself all I needed to in order to Root, Unlock, and S-Off my phone, also I wrote the SuperCID to it (11111111) and installed the Custom Recovery.
It gave me a little trouble, but it was all good at the end.
Now was the time of the truth. I was about to flash my first Mod ROM, which was Android Revolution HD 71.1 .
Seconds after a successful installation (yay) I go and decide to reboot my phone, only to realize that what I just had installed was a Mod ROM for AT&T (I think, at least not supported to mine) HTC One.
Thanks to this, my phone got stuck in a bootloop, that at first made me panic a little bit, but then I saw that I could still get to the bootloader, and after some days of reading and what not, I got it to work again. Fully working, everything from a stock RUU, all nice and pretty.
"Then, where is the real problem?" you may be asking. Here it goes:
5 minutes after I finally got it fixed, I got all and exited and decided to flash a ROM properly this time.
I put the ROM inside the phone's internal memory.
I reboot phone.
It gets into bootloader.
I go and choose Recovery.
Here's where the "whoops" happen.
Since I had just installed a brand new stocked RUU, the Recovery also returned to stock, which I didn't really think that would happen by then.
Obiously, or at least it was what I thought by then, to flash a ROM I need to flash a Custom Recovery first.
So, following, even though I had already chosen the "Recovery" option, and it loaded, while it was doing a god-knows-what, I turned my phone off, which I guess and would assume that interrupted some kind of important process.
After that, my phone rebooted, and I was like "Phew, ok"
But it wouldn't get past the white screen with the HTC logo. There, after some 6 to 8 seconds, it rebooted, infinitely. It wouldn't turn off either, just reboots.
Like, at first I thought I'd need to call an exorcist, the damn thing seemed like it had the devil inside or something, acting on his own.
Then I realized it was that I had just screwed up everything, again.
So, resume:
I turned off my phone while it was on a Recovery's process.
After that, the phone wouldn't get past the white HTC's logo screen.
It would reboot, load the logo, and, after some 6 to 8 seconds, reboot, infinitely.
It wouldn't turn off either, I had to wait for the battery to die. Also, after this, when I plugged it to his charger, it turned on on his own again (the devil!) and started the same rebooting process.
So, what do you guys think?
Should I really call it a total brick? Do you think there's a way to fix it? Should I consider throwing it into Holy Water?
Notes:
-Can't get into bootloader.
-Can't flash boot
-ADB doesn't works on phone. Yes, I already had all kind of drivers since before, it just doesn't now.
-Can't get to recovery either.

Hold down the power button and the volume down together, keep holding them, don't let go, the lights on the bottom will flash 10-15 Times, when the phone goes off, let go of the power button, but continue to hold down the volume down button, the phone should boot back to the bootloader, devil gone, I think you know what to do from there, first get a custom recovery on there, or run the ruu which you ran before to get stock Rom back on it.

I don't think problem is anything I flashed. Last thing was the RUU, and you can trust it was 100% functional.
Hell came down after I turned off while in stock's Recovery.

If the phone is getting to the white screen with HTC logo then your bootloader is ok, a brick is when the phone won't switch on at all, you just got to keep trying to get into the bootloader, once there, you can just run the ruu again

@Seanie280672 you forgot the bright light
OP:
B) Force reboot
Press and hold POWER + VOLDOWN (under a bright light, not kidding!!), after about 5 seconds or so buttons should start blinking, and after 30 seconds or so, the phone will reboot, let go of POWER, but keep holding VOLDOWN to get back to bootloader.
(you may need to try 2 or 3 times to get it right)

I'm not really "waiting" for any lights. Right now it's turned off since the battery ran out a while ago.
What I do is that I:
-Plug it to the wall charger or computer.
-It turns on, on his own.
-But as soons as it tries, yes, I am pressing the Power+ Volume Down and never let it go.
-I also tried to, when the screen is the HTC's logo screen, hold Power + Volume Down until the screen went black, then I'd release the Power button leaving only the Volume Down in hold, didn't work either.

Oh... yes, I've heard about the "bright light" to the sensor thing. I can tell also that it actually works.
If you hold the power button with the phone in front of a very bright light, you press power button, and no matter what the problem is it would actually turn off after some time. I did it and it worked, as in, it turned off.
But I've already tried pressing Power + Volume Down with the phone already turned off (having enough battery of course), but it didn't really work either, it just went into the same bootloop again.
I'd say it is that since I turned it off while in "stock Recovery" it was in the middle of something, as soon as the phone boots, it tries to boot in recovery, but it's giving me a some kind of error though, which causes it to reboot.
Back to trying a solution, since the phone is off but charged now, I'll try turning it on with Power + Volume Down WHILE I stuck it into a light bulb or something. Could some one please tell me too where is the "sensor" of this thing is located? I don't really know where am I supposed to be facing the phone, if back, or front, or side to the light.

2 little dots on the left front top, opposite the camera, if you have another phone available to you, use the flashlight on it, that's plenty bright enough at close range.

Did just that, right at those two little spots,but now the trick's not working, even though it had before, only I'm not sure if it was flashing to the two-little-spots.
Phone was charged and off. I turned it on holding Power+ Volume Down, with the phone's two spots facing straight to the flashlight.
It went straight into the bootloop still.
Are you sure it is there, and not right in the front or back camera?
Is it bricked?
So I decided to go running with my phone today in the morning. I used an old nike armband for iPhone, so nearly half of the phone was exposed to my arm. When I took it off, the exposed part of the phone, was sweaty, so I dried it off with my t shirt. The phone had a black screen. I tried to press and hold the power button until the phone rebooted, but all I got was a static screen for about one second. Afterwards, neither the screen nor button lights or LED indicator worked. I tried connecting the phone to the PC but nothing happened. It's an unlocked at&t HTC One m7 bought factory refurbished on ebay, running ViperOne custom ROM.

Well, unlike your case, my phone was actually 99.9% clean since I fixed it with the RUU. I don't think there's a ROM related issue with these reboots my phone has now.
Problem: Turned phone off while it was doing something inside stock's Recovery. Now got caught in an infinite reboot because of that,
It is actually something like this.

Just that mine is HTC One, and, well, besides from that screen it's also rebooting on his own every 8-10 seconds.
When you say you "turned it off" after selecting recovery, how did you do it?
I don't think that interrupting recovery when it's starting up ought to do anything.
Were you able to boot properly and use the phone after running the RUU?
My gut feeling is that there is some vestige of non-Verizon software on it gumming things up somehow.
You don't actually need to hold vol-down while pressing power. It will work just as well holding power until it stops blinking and then pressing vol-down as soon as the screen goes black. But you're saying that holding power down does nothing at all? It's just stuck in a continuous bootloop?
Have you tried seeing if it shows up in ADB?

Just as it sounds. I pressed down the power button to turn it off while Recovery was starting, and soon after that, the infinite bootloop started.
The RUU was 100% good, and I tested everything I could before trying to flash a ROM again.
But, just in case, it was this one:
http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/11/verizon-ruu-zip-1-10-605-10-posted/
Anyway, as I said, after I checked everything around the phone, I went to bootloader, clicked recovery by accident, and on reflex turned it off pressing down the power button.
Since then, there's been an infinite bootloop, rebooting every 8 to 10 seconds.
Sadly, and I guess it's because it was freshly flashed from a RUU, I can't access through ADB either.
q-q
Since it's powering on, your phone should be fixable, but that doesn't mean it's going to be easy.
I think the reason you're getting this bootloop is that it's trying to get into recovery--trying to complete the command you started--but something is preventing recovery from starting up. You likely did corrupt something by hard-rebooting in the middle of the process.
Fixing it will likely require some advanced methods in Linux. There is an unbricking thread in General--I would check in there for help.

Since it's powering on, your phone should be fixable, but that doesn't mean it's going to be easy.
I think the reason you're getting this bootloop is that it's trying to get into recovery--trying to complete the command you started--but something is preventing recovery from starting up. You likely did corrupt something by hard-rebooting in the middle of the process.
Fixing it will likely require some advanced methods in Linux. There is an unbricking thread in General--I would check in there for help.

Device can't be found, check connections. Aborting
The phone is actually connected to an USB 2.0 port, rebooting on his own still, but connected.
It's not detecting it though.
