[Q] Stuck on Htc Logo and can not power off

Hi Everyone;
I unlocked my phone for flashing custom rom. After unlocking i reebooted it and was normal. Then i flashed cwm via htc one toolkit. It was successfull as well. Then i go to cwm and made factory reset + wipe cache + dalvik cache. Then i go to install zip from sd card but i could not find my rom file. Thought, it was deleted while unlocking device. Then decided to reboot phone again to copy rom file into the phone and reboot.
But, when i rebooted phone from cwm, it stuck on HTC Logo( Quietly Brilliant screen). Waited sometime, but nothing happened. Then i tried to power off it and boot into bootloader or recovery. I press and hold power button but it does not respond anyhow. When i am holding power button ,back and home buttons are blinking but nothing happens. Almost five minutes i waited as holding down power button but phone does not power off anyhow. i tried all methods like vol down + power, vol up + power and both volume keys + power. But really nothing happens, just blinking back and home buttons. That's all.
I can not simply power off device. :crying:
I also tried boot device via fastboot commands but it says "waiting for device" means computer does not recognize device.
Guys, i need an urgent help. Please...

just keep trying to reboot via holding power or power+vol down. if it doesnt reboot after 30 sec or so let go then try again. if that doesnt work you will have to wait for the battery to die. once you get to bootloader use all in one toolkit to erace cache. then boot to recovery and you rom should be there if not boot back to bootloader and sideload rom

First thank you for your quick reply. Unfortunatelly, power+vol down does not work at all. Maybe i tried 50 times.
Anyhow, after battery die. How can i boot into bootloader. I mean, can phone be charged again in this situation? Also, even if i manage to boot into bootloader or recovery how can i put custom rom file into phone. Actually, i did not use sideload or whatever you mentioned before.
I am serouisly confused now and don't know what to do.
Anyhow, as you said, firlst i need wait to battery die i think. Then i will report back whats happen.
Thank you again btw.

yes your not the first person with this problem. hold power+vol down to get into bootloader. press power button in bootloader to get in fast boot mode. use all in one toolkit to erase cache and side load rom. i recommend all in one toolkit because it automates the process. just select the option then follow on screen steps

Good to hear that i am not the first person That means somehow there is a solution i beleive. Still waiting for battery die. even i had 50 percent battery at the begining but still it holds on I never say again htc battery is bad
I exeprienced that stucking on boot logo several times before with my other htc phones but holding power + vol down/up worked always. This is the first time for me that i faced with power button can not power off device.. Well, ,i hope i wish i can handle out this problem. Definetley with your help.
Regards,

I am having the same problem and don't know what to do :crying:
Today I just got my One. Unlocked bootloader, rooted, flashed Android Revolution rom. Everything worked fine for a while... I wanted to reinstall the rom because I wanted to change some options in the installer - I did not wipe because it was the same rom (big mistake I guess!!). After making the installation option changes, when it was done it proceeded to reboot but now I am stuck in a white HTC logo boot loop hell... (with the red text at the bottom that says "this build is for development purposes only" etc). Holy crap I never had a phone that I could not remove the battery. I cannot get this back into recovery or ANYTHING, it just keeps looping... computer recognizes it, no problem with drivers or anything it just doesn't stay connected long enough (because of the constant looping) to be able to use the toolkit.
PLEASE any advice?? Can't even shut it down omg. Do I have a $600 brick here? :crying::crying:

Did you read the other posts in this thread? The way you do a "battery pull" on this phone is to HOLD the PWR + VOL DOWN button for ~15seconds. Your capactivie buttons will blink, too. On my device, it took exactly 15seconds to reboot. There have been some reports of some phones that get so stuck that you just have to wait until the battery dies and charge it back up.
Alternatively, if the computer is recongizing it, try to adb reboot recovery to try and get into the recovery.

no. if it turns on you should be ok. try holdind power+vol down to get into bootloader then try toolkit if it just stays on waiting for device press power button to get into fastboot mode from bootloader

hi again. this morning my battery finally out. Then i put my phone to the charger and started it in fastboot mode( that is a good new) Then i left it for 20-30 minutes to charge a little bit for flashing custom rom.Then i went to recovery and started adb sideload. Sideload was succesful and finally came to aroma installer of trickdroid. I chose my installation options and started to flash rom but process was frozen on 10 percent. It was saying unmount system, unmount cahce and both of them has notification as "already unmounted". But installation was not going on. Then again i tried to go back fasboot mode again by press and holding power+vol down but unfortunatelly lights are blinking but nothing happens again. I think i need to wait to battery die again.
Isn't it quite weird? Why power+vol down combination does not work for me anytime? So, do i need to wait for battery die in every frozen? Do you have any ideas or comments ?
Do i need to go back to stock first ?
EDIT : Battery was out again and i tried once more. This time installation (trick droid) was successful but it frozen at the end this time. And unfortunatelly i can not restart (power+vol down) it again again Holy crap, i am really pissed off with this problem.

O..K...Finally, i managed to start my phone and now it works... Especially thank you skinsfanbdh for your support.
But still i don't know how to solve button configuration problem. But anyhow i think i won't need quite sometim to use it I hope someone can find a solution for that later.

Guide me with steps please

What should I do if I can't even get to the boot screen? I tried holding down the power and volume up buttons, but it just restarts and goes back to the same HTC load screen, what do I do????

[Q] Can't remove battery ... How do I fix this?

Made you look!
Yeah I know that the battery is non-removable, but I'm stuck.
I had Renovate nightly installed on my One and on rebooting it went to the HTC logo, then the screen went blank and after a couple of minutes looped.
However pressing the usual power and volume buttons had no effect other than to cause the capacitive buttons to flash.
When I plugged the phone into the pc and tried something ... I can't remember exactly what (not that there's many options) I finally got into the bootloader and then from there into TWRP.
Maybe this is where I went really wrong ...?
Instead of wiping and flashing I decided to just reflash the ROM. everything was good until after the aroma installed where I have the choice of "save logs" or "next" buttons to press, and it froze ... but again any combination of power and volume does nothing just the capacitive buttons flashing at me forever.
On any other phone I've had I'd pull the battery and try all over again ... please help!
...someone ...

Hold the power button for 7 seconds. When the buttons flash, do not let go. It will then force itself off.

If you're in recovery, you can try to use adb command like this:
Code:
adb reboot
or
Code:
adb reboot recovery
.
However, if you've a bootloop, try and try to reboot with the longpress of power button.
And if your rom will not boot, try to flash the kernel in fastboot

Unfortunately holding the power doesn't force reboot, the buttons just keep flashing ... I'll see how long I can hold it for ... again.
And I can't get back to recovery either. it's still in the aroma (kinda waiting for the battery to empty now) obviously adb won't work while in the aroma.
I really don't like these aroma installers, just give me .zip ... they work perfectly for me.

Aroma is cool.
Only with our Phone and, thereotecally, with the S4 will have freeze.
This, because, binary aren't updated for FullHD screen.
However, sooner or later, it will reboot, just try and try

Yeah .. sore fingers, that was about 2 minutes of holding the power button ... entered recovery, flashed a kernel, but still no boot time for a full wipe and reflash I think or try a restoring a backup.

Umh, strange... :/
Maybe try TrickDroid or OrDroid
InsertCoin is good too!

Little trick that I have discovered after having same scary experience where aroma would stuck and no power button or adb would help rebooting.
Press and hold power button for 5+ seconds and then while still holding it press one of the capacitive buttons, either home or back. Voila!

[Q] Screen not responding to touch in TWRP 2.5

Hello. I installed the TWRP 2.5 to get s-off, and finally got inside it. Now I have a really big problem, as the TWRP doesn't let me click (touch) on the phone. In other words, the touch is not responding. I'm stucked in the lock screen of the TWRP that says "swipe to unlock". It doesn't let me restart the phone... any ideas to solve it? If only the battery was removable...:crying:
thanks.

Holding down the power button for about 30 seconds powers off the device. once the device is off you can hold the power button and volume down button to get back to the bootloader

yea that would happen to me too with 2.6.0.0. hitting the back button will let you unlock but it will then ask to swipe to unlock for anything else. try to start to hold power button at the lock screen hit the back button and unlock and see if it turns off after 30 seconds.

yea when it runs out of battery and you let it charge a bit you should be able to turn it back on normally (as long as you have a working system) or to bootloader. i would recommend replacing the recovery first though

ok, thanks, that's what I wanted to know. Fortunately, I have a working operating system (as long as I know, because I have not preformed any wipe, just installed recovery...). Hope it works, anyway I'm gonna try adb reboot first..

[Solved] My phone doesn't boot

Hi,
I have a prb with my phone. I use the rom Viperone and i have decided to flash the kernel elementalX. After the installation, and after the boot animation, my phone shut down. I can't turn it on. When i press the power button, nothing happened exept the back and home button which twinkled..
When i plug my phone nothing happened.
I tryed to reboot my phone with fastboot :
cd c:\fastboot
fastboot-windows reboot
but i got the message : <waiting for device> and nothing happened.
Thx in advance

You can boot in recovery?
And, have you flashed the right version for the Viper?

No i can't. I see this on a forum :
"She lives! Should anyone with same problem come across this thread in the future, I held down the power button along with holding down both volume up and volume down buttons. This took about 3 1/2 minutes; don't give up. Everything I had read before only said volume down, not sure if that made any difference. The battery needed to be reset. Thanks for all the comments, hope this helps someone in the future"
I tried it. Whe im hlding dow both volume up and down my phone boot 4 sec then he stop. I try this during 4 min always the same : Boot 4 sec, then shut down..boot 4 sec.. etc

Buttons flashing is a good sign, hold your phone sensor under a very bright light (I'm NOT kidding) and press POWER + VOL DOWN, could take 30secs or more to reboot (and you may have to try several times), when it does reboot, keep pressing VOL DOWN to enter bootloader.
Then you'll have to go to recovery (do a "fastboot erase cache" first), and flash a compatible kernel.

While it's rebooting keep holding the VOL DOWN button, so that you can enter bootloader.

Vol Up key broken?

So, my volume up key stoped working from one day to the next. Didn't slam the phone on the floor or anything, it just stoped working. I already tried it on recovery mode, no luck so i'm asuming it's not software related.
Anyone faced this issue at some point? I did the eb40 battery mod a month ago, didn't notice anything unusual since then.
Thanks guys for any help.

Anyone?
I'm worried i might need to enter recovery or bootloader using keys instead of software reboot at some point, and won't be able to since my keys don't work.

I mean you could open the phone and check the connection for the button and the contacts. Does it feel loose? Maybe the button is upside down ( which shouldn't matter but you never know). Get back to us!

Oh. Well of course you don't need the volume key to navigate the menu in a touch recovery. That's not the problem. The problem is getting *into* recovery without the volume up key. The only way to do so is if you have a functioning ROM, so if you're in a bootloop, you have to FXZ back to stock from fastboot, reroot, and install a reboot to recovery app. Then commence doing whatever it was you needed to do in recovery (assuming flashing a custom rom again and hope you don't get a bootloop)

I understand now. Yes, it's tough to access fastboot or recovery mode without volume keys working.

Not at all there are ways to get around this. Install xposed framework with an advance power option and install it. Or go to play store and look for an app name i believe quick reboot

Indeed. I've wasted several development hours just getting back to a workable system when I end up with a bootloop. Makes testing very frustrating.Volume down key still works (it seems people only ever have problems with the volume up button) so can still get into fastboot. It would all be good if the "fastboot reboot recovery" command worked on this phone, but it's blocked.
EDIT: @Technofreak, once again that won't work if you're in a bootloop.

Yes, and fastboot only works while in download mode, which you can't access while on a bootloop.
mmm... is there any way to make the device boot into download mode by default? That would be maximum safety.
Btw, did your vol up key broke by itself? did you do the battery mod? Thanks for your input.

You mean download mode as in the menu where you can choose recovery or fastboot? You can't get to that without the volume up button at all. You should be able to still enter fastboot, even from a bootloop. Just hold down the power and vol down button until it vibrates, then let go. Then hit power button once more, and you should be in download mode. But that still won't get you into recovery, so you still have to FXZ back to stock from there and redo everything. There IS a way (sort of) to get it to boot to fastboot every time. Just flash an FXZ and unplug it while it's flashing system.img. Then manually flash a system.img. That should trigger the sticky bits deal where it boots into fastboot every time... but I really don't know what that will accomplish, because every time you reboot your phone you'll have to plug it into a computer and use "fastboot reboot." There isn't a reboot to recovery command in fastboot, and there is no option within fastboot itself to reboot, so you'd have to plug it into the computer and use fastboot reboot.
I wish there was a software option to always ALWAYS boot into recovery from a cold boot. That way you could always get back to recovery no matter what. FXZ is surely a last resort, but you can always restore a backup from recovery.
Yes, I have an EB40 battery mod. But the volume button didn't stop working until a couple of months after doing that. It was seemingly random. Just stopped working one day. I can't way whether it's related or not.

Mine did the same, broke down randomly after the EB40 mod. Can't check the frickin button since the black t5 screws got worn out (****ty quality).
What about fastboot update? isn't that suposed to flash zip files, as in cm zips?
EDIT: Been trying the vol down + power for a while, it behaves as normal power button, can't get to bootloader.

I have never been able to get fastboot update to work. I believe it is restricted on this phone just like fastboot reboot recovery is. Don't quote me on that as I've never seen anyone outright say that is the case, it just has never worked for me.
If it makes you feel better,don't bother trying to get the scews out. I have taken mine all the way down to the motherboard to see if there was anything obviously wrong with the volume button. Mine seems to have nothing physically wrong with it. The button (the bare button on the mobo, not the plastic piece) pushes well and even gives a nice tactile click when you push it down with the tip of a screwdriver or soemthing pointy. Hell, I've even booted it up with the case off, bare motherboard, while holding down the button with said screwdriver and it still won't work. It's got to be something like a trace burned or cracked on the motherboard, but with all the componants and shields around it I can't tell. It looks normal, and no different than the volume down button.
That sucks that you can't use the vol down and power button to get to fastboot. I just tried it myself to make sure I said it right and it worked fine. Maybe your volume down button doesnt work either??? You have to be very VERY careful if you cant get into fastboot. Don't get into a bootloop, because I don't know if there is any other way to recover at all. The only way I would know would be to short the circuit on the mobo to force the mobo to recognize a volume button press, and nobody wants to mess with that crap. Don't do any mods that are too exotic lol.

Vol down key is ok. Do you press both buttons while phone is off? For how long? This is weird.

Well, I believe the correct way to do it is to hold all three buttons down at one time, but for me just holding down the power and volume down button works. If the phone is on, just hold those two buttons down until it vibrates a couple times. At that point let go of the power button. Then press the power button again, and it should boot into fastboot mode.
If the phone is off, I would assume just hold down the power button and volume down buttons. Then let go of the power button while still holding down the volume button and it should boot to fastboot mode.

Good good. That will at least allow you to FXZ if all else fails. Just don't flash anything unless you have the time to FXZ back and do the whole process over, because in the event of a bootloop, AFAIK that is your only choice.

But we can always go to the recovery mode using the command prompt.
Connect the mobile to computer and use adb fastboot commands.

Once again, fastboot reboot recovery does not work on the Atrix HD. Let me qualify that, because there may be some people that it does work for, but the majority of us, the command is locked. In most cases, that is an invalid point, because we cannot get to recovery using fastboot.
