[Q] Can't access hboot

I'm having problems accesing the hboot menu. It all started after I flashed a stock rooted ICS ROM (this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583028). I flashed the kernel manually as I always do, then flashed the zip. Everything was going fine, I uninstalled the bloatware using root explorer and the phone runs smooth.
Then I tried to install a camera mod,and I needed to access hboot, I proceed to turn off the phone and then power+vol down... I press those buttons for almost 1 minute and nothing happens, when I let go the power button the phone turns on again (as it should) but without accesing the hboot.
Is there any other way to access the hboot?
Thanks

Try pulling the battery put it back in then do the volume+ power or try quick boot from the market

Or use ADB commands to reboot into it.
I believe it's something like adb reboot bootloader.

[Q] Device won't reboot holding power button?

Basically, Aroma froze while installing TrickDroid so I tried to send adb reboot recovery to the phone and got a nice message saying "error: device not found"
I tried holding the power button+volDown to reboot it but that hasn't worked. The capacitive buttons began to flash and I continued holding for ~1-1.5 minutes.
Is there anything I'm not doing correctly? I've been a long time lurker coming from a SGS2 and things are quite different with this phone so forgive me if I indeed am a noob.

Welcome among us
So, i imagine your device do not power off ? Even when you're holding just the power button ?

Was, I managed to reboot my phone in bootloader mod, to update recovery and reflash one ROM

I've noticed with my Dev unit it won't reboot with the power + vol down buttons. I've gotten stuck in Aroma Installer a couple times like that. I just had to keep trying. It seemed to respond better when it wasn't plugged in to the charger, but that may be just me.

Yeah, I'd hold the power+volDown, just power, power+volUp+volDown and nothing was working. I unplugged it from my computer and kept trying to get the 2 buttons pressed simultaneously and eventually I did get it to work.
Already disliking the idea of a non-removable battery...

The whole issue to that is the sensor have to have contact with bright light if u r in the dark the phone won't restart u have to be in the light I don't know why I tested it and that's the problem light needs to be shining for the reboot to happen when holding down the power and volume down buttons

Aroma works fine on phones below 1080p.
Aroma must be fixed. We know WHY it locks up, it just hasn't been fixed yet.
I've had it lock up without touching ANYTHING.
Locked up on the first screen of a rom install.

I first installed twrp and it locked up the first time I tried flashing a rom. I switched to cwm because I'm much more used to that and I read aroma doesn't crash quite as often with it. Not sure how true that is but I like cwm better anyway.

Twrp crashed my first flash attempt and aroma mostly crashes right after the install is finished, during the install sometimes, and rarely when using the physical buttons to navigate it.
I haven't been able to use an adb command with either recovery when aroma crashes. Not sure if that's the same with everyone else.

Please help ... stuck Htc ONE when installing ARHD 9.4

Please help me ... my Htc One remain stuck at this point when i try to install ARHD 9.4 and i can't do nothing ...

That's a problem with AROMA installer which it mentions in the ARHD FAQ.
Reboot back into recovery to flash again and try using the volume keys to move through the options and power button to select the options. This worked for me when it froze on me

Try it under a bright light - honest!

Connect to your pc
Then type in command window where adb is installed
Adb reboot recovery

Hold down the power button for about 20-30 seconds and it should power off (this acts the same as a battery pull). If that doesn't work, try holding power + volume down for 20-30 seconds. If that doesn't work either then I think you'll have to wait for the battery to run out unfortunately.

Hold your phone under a bright light (like a light bulb or something) and hold power + volume down until it reboots or turns off. It usually works with this crash.

It's not ARHDs fault your phone crashed. It's a problem with AROMA, the installer that installs most/all? Sense-based ROMs so you would probably get crashes with any ROM. Just don't use the touch screen, instead use the volume and power buttons to navigate around the options and be patient. Some people get 5 or more crashes when trying to install ROMs.

You mean your battery ran out? Put it on charge for 30mins then try again. Hold volume down + power until the bootloader screen shows.

Not really - it depends what you're looking for. I've ran ARHD, TrickDroid and Renovate - they're all great and stable ROMs but there are also others - you should read about all the ROMs and just choose one, if you don't like it just flash another.
Also, it's nice to click the Thanks if someone helps you :good:

Yes my phone is stuck again when i want to use aroma ... this time i tried to instal renovate rom )) and i only use physical keys

Use the latest twrp recovery and pause for 3-5 secs before making a selection, also try avoiding using the touch screen. I have used these tips, and aroma has not frozen on me for the last 15-20 flashes.

If you can`t get into fastboot mode or boot up there is nothing you can do anymore and you have to turn it in for repair imo. Maybe someone else knows more about his but i can`t see a solution based on your info.

Keep your finger pressed on the power button and the lights will flash still keep it pressed they then stop flashing and phone will turn off about ten to fifteen seconds holding should do it. Once they go out let go of power button and press volume down button keeping it pressed until boot screen appears

What did you do to unroot it to stock?
Take your phone and place it under a bright light and hold the power button down for 15 sec till it vibrates then boot into bootloader
