Reset when stuck - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello is there any way to reset the phone (like when you take out the battery) on the htc one? I was installing a rom and it got stuck

Just keep holding the power button for about 10 seconds and it will act as a battery pull.
If that way doesn't work, for whatever reason, hold power button + volume down so you can get to HBOOT and select recovery. You can then reboot from there.

Holding down the power button didnt work so i was trying out other combinations and pressing the power button twice then holding it down for 10 seconds seemed to work

Can't access bootloader screen

I have been trying to root my nexus one for a while.
However, I can't access bootloader screen.
I've tried holding the trackball and power button already.
Thank you in advance
Power off.
Hold volume down.
Press power while still holding volume down.
Release power after about 3 seconds.
Then release volume down.
You can toggle between boot, recovery, etc, with the menus.
On screen menus will tell you how to navigate.
Get familiar with it, before you try and root, etc.

[Q] No Download Mode

I have an i9000 international, and I recently (attempted) to flash Darky's Rom 10 RC6, after flashing it in Odin, my phone started booting. All is fine until after 'S' logo screen. I've tried to get it into download mode frantically, but nothing is working. The 3 button press, not working. I've tried other methods, like removing the battery and plugging it into your computer, then volume buttons, but nothing...
Please help
Are you holding the Vol down + Home + Power buttons together long enough ?
Yeah, I've tried holding them down until the splash screen goes away. Just regularly boots, and then stop holding down power button when the splash screen is up. No luck. I think I might have to just jig it.
It can be tricky, in mine you first have to press home, then on+down, but in order that on goes before down...all other combinations at least in my I9000 won't work, and if it fails, remove the battery put back and try again.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You shouldn't even be seeing the splash screen.
What works for me everytime, is doing it in this order:
Press & hold down the vol-down button & home button, then (while still holding down those 2 buttons), press & hold the power button. You should be in Download mode in like 1 to 2 second. When you see the Download mode, let go of all 3 buttons.

Can't get the recovery menu to work after update

For the most part, I haven't had any issues with my phone after lollipop. I'm liking the new features and the new pull down quick access buttons. For some reason though, when I boot into recovery mode, I can't seem to get the menu to pop up. I've tried every combination I can think off with the power button and volume buttons but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
I've recently had to wipe the cache on my Turbo and the recovery mode does seem to have changed. With the phone powered off, hold the power button and volume down button until you get to the bootloader. Use the volume keys to navigate the menu and press the power button to select. Select recovery and you should see the Android icon laying down. Hold the power button FIRST for about two seconds and then tap the volume up button.
Yes, if you're wiping the cache it will take a long time. Do not freak out! :good: The ETA should be about 20+ minutes.
I've done it before on kitkat and know that it takes forever. The first time I did it though I was flipping out cause I thought it was deleting everything haha.
I did finally get it to come up using that method, and your right it has changed. You have to be really accurate when holding the power button and using the vol up arrow because I was trying that before and never could get it to come up.
Anyway thanks for the help.
After lolipop update it is reversed. Hold power button and tap on up volume... For sure

[Q] WTF!

Just got my new N6, was setting it up, got the system update to 5.1 which I downloaded. Until here, everything seemed fine, however, after installing, I got an error message and since then, all it's doing is "Android is starting..."
Where did I go wrong? Called Moto CS which was a joke! I'll call Expansys from where I got the phone. But there has to be an easier solution.
Anyone? Thanks in advance.
If its the first boot after updating, it might take some time. Else try to factory reset from the recovery.
Turn OFF Nexus > Press and hold Vol Up button + Power button. Use Vol Down button to select Recovery and Power button to choose it. When the Android with Red triangle appears, press and hold Power button and tap on Vol Up. Now choose Factory reset option.
Thank you, but could not turn it off. Trying to power + vol up didn't do anything, however, power + vol down gave the fastboot mode from where I chose recovery, but it said no command was found
I think that means you have no custom recovery. Taken from another site:
"Press and hold the Power key and the Volume up key for around three seconds and then let go of the Volume up key, but keep pressing Power.
You should see the Android system recovery options pop up at the top of the screen. Use the Volume keys to highlight the options and the Power key to select the one you want."
Try this from the recovery screen. I think there is a power off option or maybe a factory reset option.
I'll give it a try and post am update, thank you.
Yeah simply pressing and holding power down then Pressing volume up once while holding power will give you the option to factory data reset. During startup it'll take some time for the first boot, some report 10 mins, be patient.

Holding power and vol up doesn't do anything for me! Why is it doing that?!
It's power and vol down. it boots you into the bootloader and there you can choose functions with vol up and down, and select it with power.
I did the factory reset, but it's still stuck in that same cycle. Called Motorola who advised to ask the merchant for a replacement. I called Expansys (from where I bought it), and was informed that I have to send it in first, then they will determine what the fault is and then I'll get the replacement, seriously?!
I called my AMEX and asked them to handle it.

Note 5 volume button broke stuck in safemode.

Hi my volume button down is broken and everytime it boots it's in safemode.
Whenever trying to access recovery it normally boots up when buttons are pressed.
Booting into download mode freezes it, I have to do a hard reboot by pressing all the buttons.
Volume/power button work fine when in use.
I've opened up my phone to disconnect my volume button it stills boots up in safemode.
I've tried 2 new roms still in safemode.
Hello brother,
Even you flash 2 new roms still booting up safe mode, bad seen
i feel your volume down button was keep pressed maybe,,,,,maybe (it should be b coz of dust or something else).
to be confirm is that your volume button broken or pressed follow the steps below
1. switch on your mobile release the power key and Press again the power key and wait till finish the boot, (if the device get restarted it means we can confirm your volume down button was pressed & hold)
2. press home button & power button check if the device is going to download mode ( if you stuck press power button u will get exit)
how ever try to clean the volume down button inside and pull slightly. after turn on your mobile.
if your damn sure volume button was broken not working at all, then lets think about it
