Sprint HTC One won't turn on, flashing Home and Back buttons. - Sprint HTC One (M7)

I was coming from Cyanogenmod nightlies, and was trying to flash stock, but the phone just randomly shut off and it won't turn back on. When I hold down the power button the only response I get is the home and back buttons will blink white for the duration of me pressing down the button. Thank you for any possible help.

Can you get into the boot loader?

Keep holding down power button. Button lights will blink for about 12 secs, then let go of power and hold down vol down until bootloader pops up.
via ONE.

CM10 won't load. home and back buttons lit constantly

Hi. This just happened to me as well, trying to flash CM 10.1.3 to get a GPS lock from a sense rom. Problem is, I can't get to the bootloader and the menu/back lights don't stop flashing. So there's no point where they stop flashing and I can then use the volume button to get to the bootloader. And they stay lit even when I am not pressing anything. I could use some help here.. hate to think I've bricked this very expensive slab of metal. Thanks.

Same problem.
Somebody please help.
EDIT:
Solved. Bright light trick.
Shine a bright light on it and press + hold power and vol down. Make sure the twin sensors aren't covered.

Thanks guletz - you just saved me a call (or a visit) to the Sprint store.

Phone in call...

This is also happening to most of the sprint 4.3 custom roms. Not sure if everyone is building on top of the same rom image or fimrware issues...let me know if anyone is getting the same issues after flashing any of the sprint custom roms.

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?

[Q] Unable to Hard reboot

Hi,
I tried installing carbon rom to my rooted htc one. I am stuck at boot logo and unable to hard reboot also. Using vol+ and power button flashes the home and back button, but does nothing. So, I am unable to go to recovery also. Please help :crying:
try just holding down the power button.. It might take awhile but it sometimes happens to me, and doing that shuts it down.. Around 10 seconds or more

It's not strange, its a feature to prevent you from accidentally rebooting while your phone is in your pocket or a bag, for example if something ends up pressed against the power button.

[closed] Phone won't boot, flashing buttons

My phone will no longer boot.
Pressing the power button does nothing.
When I hold down the power button for a period of time (seemingly infinite) and the home and back buttons blink. The screen itself does nothing.
When I hold the power button + up / down buttons (I've tried various combinations) then again, the home and back buttons blink and the screen itself does nothing.
Of course...I'm naturally concerned that the phone is bricked / dead.
I've done some googling and a little reading around and I think I can resolve the issue by botting into fast boot and using hasson2000's all in one toolkit.
....is it likely the phone can be put into 'fast boot' (I think this is what power + volume down does)?
I do I need to wipe "everything" including the custom recovery?
Thanks for your help.

Try holding your phone over/under a bright light while holding down the power key or power/volume key it should boot..

It has something to do with the proximity sensor I don't know why it works but I have seen many members that used it and it worked every time haha

Sadly...It's not worked
Yep he's right. To prevent soft reboots in your pocket, htc made it so that you need a light in the sensor. Try holding the power button under a light, and be patient. If it doesn't work after 5 sec, keep waiting until it does. I have had to wait for 30sec-1m once, but it worked eventually
EDIT: you could also try if ADB works, in that case you'd just have to use adb reboot.
It worked!
Thanks guys

Are you trying to disable the proximity sensor? If so follow the link below. It is done on an M8 but pretty much the same for an M7.

Phone Wont Boot, Flashing Home and Back Buttons, Red LED

I tried to update my rooted HTC One but it seems that something went wrong. The phone will not boot. When I hold down the power button the home and back buttons start to flash. I have tried to boot into the bootloader by holding the power button until the home and back buttons stop flashing but all that does is turn the red LED on and the screen stays black. How do I fix this so I can use my phone again?

The buttons are supposed to flash when you hold down the power button. After the buttons stop flashing, quickly release and then hold the power + vol down buttons. That should work unless something really got messed up.

ADB isn't working?

Screen occasionally fails to wake after sleeping.

Once a day, and sometimes once every other day the screen will naturally go to sleep after a minute or whatever I have it set to, and then wont come back on. I know its just the screen because I can click volume buttons and hear the volume adjustment beep, and when I click the power button I can see the soft keys light up at the bottom of the phone, and then darken again when I click the power again.
The only fix I have found is to hold (POW + VOL UP + VOL DWN) until the phone force shuts down.
I have an AT&T M7 running the latest CM11 nightly.

Test it on another ROM and if the issue occures there too, it's likely a Hardware issue. Then you have to live with it or send it in to the warranty service.
But since it's a CM11 nightly it is likely a ROM related issue, so wait for an update or just change to the stable version.
