Htc won't restart - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

my Htc one don't want to turn off or restart anymore. No matter how long i hold the power button or power button and volume down and even power button and volume up. All it does is blink the bottom light forever and nothing happens anymore. Have anyone had this problem or knows how to fix it ?

Got this problem yesterday.
The solution was
hold the device into bright light and press vol-down and power. and it really works
thats really bananas

So you don't restart it in your pocket like I used to do daily with my One X.

Screen Frozen

Any idea how to fix a frozen screen?? I was moving an app from one screen to the next and it froze on that part. Now the device seems unresponsive. Holding power buttons or volume rockers does nothing.
Anyway to fix this?? Or should I just wait for the battery to die.
Thanks guys/girls

Usually Power + Vol Down or Power + Vol Up or Power + Vol Down + Vol Up
Try each of those and hold them for at least 10 seconds...should reboot.
Just hold power

Usually holding the power button for 10 seconds has the same effect as "pulling the battery" if needed.

Same thing has happened to me, twice-first when I first was going through the set up, no response until multiple reboots, was able to set up device. Again today on fully set up N7, unless i rubbed the screen repeatedly then it would change desktops and "refreeze", until multiple reboots via holding power button down, then the device finally worked ok-hopefully a driver issue.

Sprint HTC One won't turn on, flashing Home and Back buttons.

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.

[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.

It works !!! u saved my phone

Phone randomly shut off and wont turn back on

Ok so i just got out of work and went to look at my phone and i pushed the power button and nothing happened. so I held the power button to see if it just shut off ad that also didnt do anything, so then i tried charging... still nothing, volume down + power... nothing. Can you guys please help me with this? I have absolutely no idea whats wrong, and it makes no sense because I literally hadnt changed or done anything with it all day, and i havent changed ROM's recently either(running Insertcoin 6.0.3 if that makes any difference).
Sounds toasted.

Hold down both power button and vol down until hardware lights start blinking and keep holding until it reboots.

ugly.
if it's under warranty take it for repair.
For anyone returning to this thread looking for the solution to the qhsub_dload problem, i contacted HTC and the only way to fix it is to send it in for repair.

i am quite late... but if did it boot up using these tricks?
(original thread: [GUIDE][FIX] Solve Bootloops and no OS on phone!
Basic issues and troubleshooting? Here it goes​
Q: I can't start up my device, not even the soft buttons are lighting up!
A: I know, it sound strange, but you have to do the following thing:
Hold your HTC One below a bright lights source and hold the power button for about 15 seconds or even longer. The charging light will light up. Then hold down the volume down button and try different key combinations!​
Q: I still can't boot up my device!
A: Hold volume down and volume up button and the power button for about 90 seconds. If this doesn't work, try holding your phone below bright light again​
could be memory problem
it could be a memory problem, do you have enough RAM? sometimes the phone also restarts if it lacks free RAM for its apps to be run
