Help please Aroma is stuck and holding down power won't reboot the phone

I HATE Aroma installer. didn't touch the screen and install is hung.
holding down the power button until the capacative keys flash does nothing.
Any other key combo to force a reboot?
EDIT:
adb reboot does nothing either device not found

Power + VOL down for about 10 seconds.

nothing

Not holding it long enough then. That's "battery pull" button combination. It can literally take 10-20 seconds. The buttons flashing is a good sign.
EDIT: Timed it on my phone, exactly 15seconds.

You're holding both Power AND VOL down together, right? Not just power.

Huh, it's always worked without fail for me.
Congrats then, you get to wait until your battery dies.

try just holding power until screen goes off then volume down until in bootloader. may take a while but it works ive been in far worse situations with this phone but it always comes back. starting to think this phone is really hard to brick. all in one toolkit is a lifesaver if your not using it you should be. if you have a problem getting into recovery use it and if recovery starts then reboots or closes back to bootloader erase cache with all in one toolkit the boot to recovery

Define a while. Ive held the button down while lights flashed 200 times. It won't turn off.

where are you stuck at? download all in one toolkit and see if that has something that will help you. it saved me a bunch of times already. if the phone turns on or is on your okay. its just frustrating sometimes when you think you might have ruined a $600 device but as long as its on your ok no need to stress

just hold power+ volume down if it doesnt reboot after a minute let go and try again. or you could try all in one toolkit for your carrier to reboot to bootloader. trust me ive been stuck in aroma countless times there is a way

As I've said, adb and fast boot don't see the phone. I'm just going to have to wait for it to die.

If you've held the buttons for around 40 seconds you are going to just have to wait for the battery to die happened to another person. One other thing count the flashes after 20 release and then hold again and it should reset at 15 flashes if not then you are going to have to wait for the battery to die. Good news is after that the other person was able to get back to recovery and didn't have the problem again.

still nothing. Hope it drains down completely over night. I need to be able to get the thing up and running tomorrow

As an Evo owner I was shocked to hear the correct procedure for that phone was pwr + VOL UP AND VOL DOWN yes all three at the same time. I assumed vol up and vol down could not both be selected at the same time because they were on a rocker switch where, if one side is low, the other must be high. But it turns out you could do both. Is the HTC One like this?

back up and running. battery finally died. Flashed stock boot.img after a recharge and all is well.
I'm swearing off of aroma installers from here on out.

Had the same problem also today. But I did not give up to try pressing power + vol down. After several attempts the phone finally restarted.

You're more patient than me I guess. I worked at it for more than an hour and a half.

Just keep holding it, it takes a bit. The capacitive buttons will flash for a bit but keep holding it and it'll go dark eventually, then try try again. I think it took my six tries for trickdroid with full revovery wipes in between each one...

the capacitive buttons light up but still it doesn't turn off. I'm at the part where it says mounting partitions

I had this problem too. What you have to do is have the all in one toolkit and plug your phone to you computer. Then open the toolkit and press "reboot into recovery" it should reboot your phone back to recovery mode. Then proceed to installing your Rom. Remember to not use the touchscreen at ALL when using aroma or your phone will freeze up

aroma has a nasty issue right now where you can use the touch screen to make your selections for options and stuff, BUT sometimes(more often than not) the aroma app will freeze. even if you dont use the touch screen and use the vol/power buttons to make your selections it has more like a 15% to freeze. It has something to do with the way their database is setup i think. if all else fails and your phone freezes. hold down the power button for roughly 15 seconds. this simulates a battery pull. while holding down the power button you should see your back and home buttons flash. Once the flashing has stopped it means the phone should be off. at that point push the power button again for like .5 seconds and the phone should power on. if you want to get into the bootloader to access recovery hold down the vol down button while pushing the power button for the .5 seconds and it should load the bootloader and you can select to enter recovery.

someone else feels my pain. This happened to me Saturday. No matter what my phone wouldn't shut off and adb wouldn't work. I had to just let the battery die.

Yes normally you can hold the power down but in his case and when it happened to me I held the button down for at least a minute and it did not turn off

You have to try it every 20 seconds again and again, though its a tough process and you need to be patient

THE FIX!!!

My friends I have found a fix. Refer to my post in this thread.

You need to hold the sensor in front of a very bright light source (did mine in front of a light bulb) and THEN hold the Power button for 15 seconds.
It will reboot. I can almost guarantee it. :good:

Holy! Thank you sir! flipped my light on, BANG thanks

First boot after loading rom taking forever?

Just tried to install BluelightsV2 and it appeared to come up with an error while installing then went back to twrp. I chose reboot system and now it is sitting with a black screen and white SONY and seems to be stuck there. Any suggestions on what I might try? Thanks.

Update.
Found the proper keystrokes to get is shut off.
Press and hold the power button for or five at the side of the volume up key.
Remove your finger once you feel the vibration then press and hold the volume up button for ten seconds.
Now the phone begins to shut down automatically with a three-pulse vibration try.
Now turn the phone on once more normally as you are doing and also the phone has restarted.
Then I was able to flash the 10.3.1.A.2.6.7 ftf file and got it fired up again thankfully.

Once I got 10.3.1.A.2.6.7 back one I rooted it with DoomLord's latest file. That went great then I put the XZlockeddualrecovery2.7.2.9 on and it looked like it went on right an was rebooting then went into bootloop. Had to flash the 10.3.1.a.2.6.7 back on and start from scratch again. Think I will wait till I can figure this out right before trying to add the recovery file again.

[Q] Hung after recovery

I have HTC One Developer's Edition.
A couple of months ago I decided I could not wait for HTC to release 4.3. and install Android Revolution.
I made a recovery on Sept 11 (should have known ...), installed the thing and got myself a smoothly functioning custom ROM.
After hearing HTC has released KitKat for the Developer's Edition, I decided to go back to 4.3 so I can install the KitKat update.
I was being stupid and did not read instructions or anything else. Instead I simply went to the bootloader -> recovery -> restore
Then I restored the System and Boot image which went just fine.
Right after that SuperUser said that my phone is not rooted and asked whether I want to root it, I swiped the screen to confirm.
Unfortunately at the first boot the phone hung at the start screen, the one with white background, htc logo, the big "one" word and beats audio in the bottom.
I tried turning off the phone and it wouldnt do it.
So right now I am writing this in a depressed mood, waiting for the battery in the phone to run out all the hwile hoping real bad that I haven't just bricked this freakin 650 dollar thing.
What should I do to get things back to normal ?

Press and hold the power button. Your phone WILL turn off. Then bootloader > recovery > factory reset. Should be good.

Thanks for your suggestion.
The power button did -not- work I did repeatedly try holding it down for 15-20 seconds but it wouldnt turn off. Which is why I posed my problem here.
However the factory wipe did indeed work. It'd take a lot of time and effort to recover all the contents with my 150 kbyte/s internet but at least I know my baby (*strokes the back of the phone*) will be just fine.

for future use if it wont reboot with holding the power button next time try it while holding the phone under a bright light. i know it sounds stupid but it works

Please help! I cannot reboot and tried all the normal methods

I've had my One for about 4 months and I've flashed about a dozen Sense and AOSP/CM11 roms on it before recently settling into using MultiROM w/ViperOne w/hardexec kernel as my primary and TripNDroid 17 w/teamSeven kernel w/smartmax_eps governor as my secondary. I've been running the latter most frequently. Anyway, after about a week of running it I have had a few weird issues where it works fine for a day or two and then I can't get the screen on and I have to force reboot with VOL DOWN+POWER. That has worked fine. Last night I was on a flight and when I landed and took the phone out of airplane mode I had signal but no data, so I told it to soft-boot (I do that often, so I don't have to wait for MultiROM), saw the Google splash as expected, and then I put it in my pocket. When I pulled it out 20 minutes later expecting my desktop it was black.
VOL DOWN+POWER for 20-30 seconds causes the key lights to blink as usual, but it never reboots. I plugged it into my PC and though I get the exclamation next to HTC One or MTP device in device manager I can get a response from adb devices so I issues adb reboot which did nothing. Nor did adb reboot recovery. I can adb shell into it and I have root prompt, but issuing a reboot command there also just seems to cause it to hang on the command.
I don't know whether to let it sit now and run the battery down, charge it fully, flash a new boot.img or recovery (not even sure how I could since I can't get into fastboot), or give up and try a RUU exe. I'd really, really appreciate any help as I am traveling all week and it is much harder for me to reach my family without a cell.
Thanks so much.

op said he already did for 20-30 secs.

Here to report success. Thankfully it didn't take me 40 minutes. Unfortunately, I'm not really sure why it finally worked. I had left it overnight and tried 20-25 times this morning, including several times under direct light, with no success. When it DID finally power off and on I believe I'd been holding the power off, plus vol down for about 30 seconds, then vol up for about the same (without releasing the power button), then releasing vol. Then I released all and just did power only and it worked.
All I know is that when it did finally work all I was holding down was power, and it had 12% battery left so it hadn't fully died yet.
Thanks to everyone for helping inspire me to push through this.

He said vol down, I said vol up. But he resolved it so it doesn't matter
Vol up + power simulates pulling out the battery. After that just power on with power button
