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!!!

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:

[Q] Problem booting into Recovery

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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
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?

[Q] Can't restart non-booting device!

Hi
ReVolt ROM is stuck on the flash screen on second boot up.
Long press of power button does nothing but flash buttons no matter how long I hold it for!
Phone isn't showing as connected to PC either so cannot use adb commands.
Do I have to wait for the thing to die??? If so thats annoying as its at 91%
Umh, for which version of One is this rom?
However, re-try with longpress of Power button
International. CID is HTC_001.
Tried power again. Held for about 20 seconds... Nothing.
Can you share the link of the rom?
I can't see it in htc one section...

Shine a bright light at the phone and hold down power for 20 seconds Seriously
Right... Seriously... How the hell did that work???? I'm stunned. Brilliant.
its becoming a known fact that putting it under a light while holding button combo is a real solution. it has something to do with the sensors to prevent an accidental button combo while in a pocket or bag

Hi,
Hold down your Power and both Volume buttons until the lights stop flashing and it turns off, try this under a bright light if it fails to work.
If neither works, plug into your PC and use
Code:
adb reboot
I try, but same. volume up+power, both+power...
I cant connect with USB

Try keep the power button pressed for at least 30 sec. Or volume DOWN+ POWER the same time
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
dont plug your phone in. put it under a bright light and hold power+volume down. make sure your finger isnt covering the light sensor
it Can't boot....Hold power button and volume down, it not booting..
I try with HTC One toolkit to reboot, but i have message: ERROR: DEVICE NOT FOUND.
What is p?
This a trick that has worked for me every time, with the Aroma freeze.
First hold down volume button, right after hold down the power button.
The Home and Back button will flash, count it to 12 times let go of power button and push it back in, while constantly holding the volume button down.
This should get you back to hboot. Hope this works for you, has always for me
thnks Xstop, but same, at me not working,,,
Will reboot if battery die?
just keep trying it and make sure your fingers are not covering the light sensor
There is only one solution that I read here which worked for me.
Hold the device under direct light (like from a strong bulb or something) and keep holding the power button, and the device will turn off. Afterwards, hold the power button as well as the Volume Down button and it will boot into bootloader.
I am not sure why that works, but it does. The sensors need to be receiving the light directly, I guess?

Hi world.
Today i do a little error...i was in the recovery mode for flash a zip and finish in sideload...I have a black screen with: Sideload started..now send the packge you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>.
So i try to power off my HTC One with the botton, with tool kit all in one but nothing.
I also try to put command like adb reboot ecc ecc from the cmd and try the 4 option of the FAQ.
But my HTC One is blocked...Is there a metod to power off the device? I should wait the natural power off of battery but i think there is not so good for the device(it was over 90% battery).
Thank you for the attention guys
p.s. i don't able to use adb sideload, i read something but i don't able to learn

Hold vol down and power together keep holding for 15 seconds... Or try just power button..but if not let device run out of battery

did you put it under a bright light and hold the power for 15 seconds ?
the bright light trips the sensor so the phone doesn't think its in your pocket
Press and hold the menu button at the same time, but at the same time you are doing that shine a light over the proximity/ambient sensors.
I know it sounds weird but aroma use to freeze up on me and when it did someone mentioned to do exactly this to get the phone to reboot/turn off.
It works for me every time. Nothing will happen until I shine a light at the sensors.

[Q] Flashed Rom. Now touch screen wont respond

I flashed this rom ( Sprint_HTC_One_1.31.651.2_Stock_Rooted ) . Phone booted and touch screen stopped working. I'm in a rough situation because the phone also will not reboot. I've tried holding all buttons, just the power button, the power and volume down button. No resolve. Anyone have any suggestions on how to make this phone reboot (besides waiting for battery to drain lol )so I can try to install another rom and see if touch screen comes back. Thanks
You need the newest firmware it sounds like

I cant do anything with the phone though because its stuck on the lock screen. Cant touch anything and cant get it to reboot
Oh and I accidently posted in the wrong section... wasn't sure if I should just leave it up or delete it
Just ask the dev to move it....hold the power button and volume down then release power after about 7 secs and press it again but keep volume pressed the whole time to get to boot loader then go to recovery from there

that would work great if the phone was off...but the phone is on the lock screen... When I hold the buttons It counts down 3....2.....1 then hangs at 1.. Ive held the buttons for over a minute no dice..... It seems the only way to reboot is through ADB but I cant allow my computer to connect to the phone because of the screen being locked... wish there was another way to reboot this phone without waiting for the battery to die

Hold the power button until the home/recent apps buttons at the bottom stop blinking...if it reboots let go of the power and hold vol down this will get you to the bootloader
If it does not reboot press the power and let it start to reboot and hold vol down
The buttons just continue to blink.. no reboot just stuck at lock screen

If you hold the power button down long enough it will power down or reboot
I held the power button down for over 2 minutes... should I hold it longer? Here's what happens, after holding the power button... on about 5 seconds in a message pops up and says continue holding power button for reboot. I continue to hold it and a count down starts.... goes from 3 to 2 to 1.... the phone just stays at one no matter how long I hold the power button in for

hmmmm never seen that before, try holding power and vol down see if it gets you to bootloader
Yeah tried that... pretty much tried all button combinations for all amounts of length....this is how stumped I am. I've been a member on this site for years and I think this is the first time I ever had to post a question about a phone. I seem to always find an answer but this time I just couldn't I'm baffled as to what can be happening and why this phone wont reset.
Yeah I mentioned that in an earlier post. I cant adb because I cant unlock the phone to allow the computer to be trusted by the phone... I have the phone sitting on the table with a piece of tape holding the power button in causing the screen to stay on and keep the endless countdown going... hoping that kills it quick..... I guess that's the solution to this problem if anyone else may happen to come across the same thing lol

How did you get yourself into that situation, lol. This is why I slightly perfer the Galaxy's because you can just pop the battery off. I get a HTC and just try and do as little as possible, and quad check everything.
Did you get it done atleast?

When you are holding the power button down and it starts to count down shine a flashlight at the light sensor to the left of the speaker on the top (or hold it under a bright light). I had this happen to me before where it wouldn't simulate the battery pull. Just sat there. Apparently the phone has a built in defense to not reset in low light situations in case you accidentally hit the power button while the phone is in your pocket. The flashlight on the sensor trick works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314952
