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:

Soft Bricked HTC One (URGENT)

Hey, a fellow XDA member has managed to soft brick his One. He flashed a bad zip file, and his phone boot loops. He cannot access the boot loader as he has Fast Boot turned on in Settings - Power, however he can't turn this off as he can't turn the phone on. Has anyone got any advice?

No the LEDs just flash forever

put the phone under a bright light.
hold down power, lights will flash and phone will shut down in about 15-20 seconds
then hold volume down and power to get back to bootloader

hello,
actually it's my problem. thanks MacHackz for all the help he already has done for me.
I tried that with a bright light. it worked in this way that phone really turns off, but as soon as I remove the light, it turns on again. I cannot get it into bootloader.
EDIT: I flashed the phone with MAG-light from the start of charging. screen was black, but buttons started to blink. it went into hboot, and from there I went into recovery. I went to a reboot and press power off. I'll recharge it fully, and then I'll try to sideload a new ROM.
EDIT II: I tried to charge it, but it simply wont stay off. as soon as I plug the cable in, it turns on! I manage to enter HBOOT so I went into recovery and there phone is charging. so, I'll recharge it there and upload a RUU.
does anyone has right RUU? I have EU version from UK.

Did you not make a backup before flashing ??, there is a list of roms on Mikes Android Revolution Rom post - have a look at his guide
Heres another list also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2194707

many thanks man indeed, you helped me like anyone before !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow...i've been sitting in my dark bedroom for the past 90 minutes trying everythign to wake up my damn phone after it crashing and not coming back to life. ADB was still responsive but none of the reboot commands would do anything. FINALLY found this, went in the bathroom, held the phone up to the light with the power button help down and 10 seconds later it's back to life. double you tee eff...

Help me!

So I installed HTC_M7's CM10.2 ROM, after using it for a little bit, i decided to go back to sense. So I got rid of that and installed this rom. It worked fine after I booted up, except that none of my apps where downloading, so I decided to restart, now my phone is stuck in either the shutdown, or boot up animation.
I tried holding the power button but it's not doing anything, also tried pressing the power and volume down button.
Right now I'm just waiting for the battery to die, it was at 38% when I decided to restart.
Any suggestions? I was going to see if I could get into recovery and wipe everything after the phone dies and charges a little bit, then add more charge and RUU it.
EDIT: I have clockworkmod recovery.
EDIT: #2, tried the, shine a bright light on the phone and press the power button thing, and it worked, I don't really get how that fixes it.

[Q] Sprint HTC ONE stuck on white boot screen

Hello,
I've just installed this ROM after wiping Cache/Delvik Cache and system wipe.
Now the phone is stuck on the boot screen and I can not get back into recovery to sort it out.
I held down power & vol+ buttons to get into recovery but nothing happens. The Home & Back buttons flash after 3 seconds then nothing happens.
Any thing else I should do to get into recovery ( TWRP)
My friend whop is a member asked this question on the Developers forum and so far no luck.
we have tried the following:
This is suggested by chogardjr: Plug your phone in to charge. Don't use a USB port for power. After you plug it in try the hard reboot again.
PLEASE HELP
Just for the sake of testing... Have him hold power without holding the volume. It should force reboot, not to the bootloader, so he can get a feel for how the reboot works. It can be finicky during a bootloop cause there are processes trying to run in the background. But it should do it if you hold power long enough.
Edit:
Also find out if the charge light comes on when he plus it in.
Tried and no joy.......

I had a similar problem with a bad kernel flash and could not get the device to shut all the way off - thats why the keys are blinking. I plugged it in to a charger, left it like that for a few seconds, then unplugged, held it under a bright light and waited. After a few more seconds, it shut all the way down and I was able to boot to recovery in the usual way (power+down). You may have to try combinations or maybe not. But, you won't get to recovery until the phone shuts all the way down. High light under in the 'eyes', plugging and unplugging, and holding the power button for up to 30 seconds are all known ways to do this, but as was said before a bootloop has processes trying to run, so the machine can be 'confused' and have difficulty shutting down. Hope you are successful...

Thanks. I actually got it going with one of the answers posted for me, by powering it off under a bright light.
Sounds daft, but it works.

[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

that's what I did lol ! looks to be down to about 25%!!

Plug in a USB otg cable and a USB mouse.

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
