HELP, My phone refuses to boot up.

It started as soon as I received a phone call from my brother and we were in the middle of a conversation when the phone suddenly goes off. I tried to restart it, I even removed the battery and replaced it but when I press the power button I get the initial boot sequence showing the htc logo and then the phone would just go of. I thought that maybe the battery is low but when I plug it to a power outlet it keeps trying to boot but keeps switching off and it just does this over and over.
Please I don't know if anyone has encountered this problem before, I really don't know what to do.

Try a Hard Reset using the device buttons:
1. With the phone off. If it’s frozen or unresponsive, pull then replace the battery.
2. Press and hold the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons and power the phone back on.
3. Continue to hold Volume Up and Volume Down until a factory reset screen appears.
Hope this helps!

Well I just did that but the problem persist. I should note that occasionally it does complete its boot up and I can use the phone but it can go off at any time and once it does this, i cannot get it to completely boot up. Once it attempts a boot up and goes off I cannot even restart it by pressing the power button until I replace the battery or plug it into a power socket or the computer at which point it will just keep booting up and shutting down.

Something far wrong there. Get a replacement device.

Hi, I have got the same problem on my HD7 and I am completely noob to many new words Goldcard, jailbroken, etc. Would you please advise me exactly what you did (i mean flahing procedure) and really appriciate any help.

Well if you have got an O2 HD7, then I would advise you to get one of the O2 ROMS from ansar, download it then press and hold the volume down button when booting up your device, connect the phone to your pc and start the app. More instructions in the HD7 development thread.

There's nothing wrong the phone. Don't hard reset or flash it. It happens from time to time, just give it some time and eventually you will see a battery icon appear. Then after awhile it will boot up.
Again, do not flash or hard reset just be patient. I believe it just needs to drain all the way down as it doesn't have enough power to fully boot.

Not booting up
Hi,

Thank u and Best Regards

[Q] HELP: My Atrix HD will not stop rebooting

I don't know what happened, but my phone won't stop rebooting! It does not give me enough time to process a factory data. I've tried to power it down and press volume up while pressing the power button, but it doesn't take me to the standard bootloader screen, just a dead looking android guy with a red triangle with an exclamation point in it. I have it off now because I don't know what else to do. The last thing I did before this happened was listen to a playlist on Spotify, nothing out of the usual. Any help would be appreciated.

That's the screen you get before getting to recovery. Can't remember what you push from there but its probably power or a combination with a volume key.
Sent from my phone.

Mine did that the second after installing the update. I woke up to it in a boot loop. Went to best buy and the geek squad didn't know what to do and had no white ones in stock. I went home Started it in safe mode and did a factory reset. Now it's good as now.

It seems to be a weird combination of lock plus volume up then down, but it finally worked!!! I feel like I've reset this phone a dozen times since I got it

[Q] Stuck in aroma, holding power for 15+ seconds doesn't work

Was attempting to install busybox through recovery ( from here).
The installer is based on aroma I believe and it froze during install. I see this is a common issue. Regardless, I was going to reattempt the install but I cannot get the phone to reboot. From what I've read, holding the power button for 15+ seconds should do a hard reboot. The capacitive button lights start blinking like they should but no matter how long I hold power, the phone won't reboot.
Do I need to wait for the battery to completely drain or should there be another way to force it out of this state?
Thanks

If it's plugged in unplug it, and make sure you're only holding power and not any other key until it reboots
Keep trying

You are the second person another user yesterday was stuck at the white htc boot screen and could not get it to power down or reset. Wonder if there is some kind of issue here

Thanks. It isn't plugged in. Been trying this for about an hour now, sometimes holding power for over 2 minutes. The lights keep blinking as long as I hold the button. They stop after I release it.
Looks like I'll have to play the waiting game

Yep. Just checked on the person from yesterday and after it died he was able to get into recovery and then fix it. So it's something weird
Here is the thread not much info though but he had to let it die
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2247888
Also it resets around the 15 blink of the capacitive buttons so if it's blinking 30 times something is not right wait for it to die

Thanks for the link, didn't spot that one. I guess I'm having the same issue. I don't mind having a non-removable battery but it's unfortunate in this case. The screen is staying on so I hope the battery runs out earlier rather than later.

Try to push the Button several times and then hold it, or hold Power +vlm down ans release ans push vol again.. helped me many times i think... :thumbup: dont give up..

I tried just about every combination but nothing worked. On a positive note, the battery died and I was able to boot normally once again. No issues since.

Next time press and hold both volume up, down and the power button

I'm pretty sure I tried that because I read it somewhere else but if it does happen again, I'll make sure to double check.

Well, another one to add. Stuck in Aroma, and Hard combinations doesn't work. TRIED ALL OF THEM.
Was stressing over, plugged the phone in, launched the ALL-IN-ONE, clicked the reboot command.
I thought the Hard button combination was hardware : that is now proven wrong. Ugh.

Adb reboot always works. Had to do it twice already to get out of aroma.
Hard combinations only work sometimes sadly.

Doesn't work for me, it used to but since I've been trying to install Trickdroid 5.3.0 nothing works for me so I have to let the battery die, very irritating.

thanks for advice also had this issue and solved

I know it sounds weird, but there's reports that shining at light at the sensors and/or working in a very bright room seems to help with the soft reset procedure. I have no idea why and it sounded like coincidence to me, but what do you have to lose? lol

I also faced the hanging aroma problem and holdon the power button for a long period of time (15 seconds) worjed for me the firs time i tried, the second time it bad some problems, but i kept pressing the power button.for 15 seconds and it finally turned off.
Hoep this helps.

I tried everything what was mentioned here, the only thing that I haven't done was pressing the power button in bright light conditions, so that was the last thing that I could try. I can confirm, it's working

Help please Aroma is stuck and holding down power won't reboot the phone

I HATE Aroma installer. didn't touch the screen and install is hung.
holding down the power button until the capacative keys flash does nothing.
Any other key combo to force a reboot?
EDIT:
adb reboot does nothing either device not found

Power + VOL down for about 10 seconds.

nothing

Not holding it long enough then. That's "battery pull" button combination. It can literally take 10-20 seconds. The buttons flashing is a good sign.
EDIT: Timed it on my phone, exactly 15seconds.

Huh, it's always worked without fail for me.
Congrats then, you get to wait until your battery dies.

try just holding power until screen goes off then volume down until in bootloader. may take a while but it works ive been in far worse situations with this phone but it always comes back. starting to think this phone is really hard to brick. all in one toolkit is a lifesaver if your not using it you should be. if you have a problem getting into recovery use it and if recovery starts then reboots or closes back to bootloader erase cache with all in one toolkit the boot to recovery

Define a while. Ive held the button down while lights flashed 200 times. It won't turn off.

where are you stuck at? download all in one toolkit and see if that has something that will help you. it saved me a bunch of times already. if the phone turns on or is on your okay. its just frustrating sometimes when you think you might have ruined a $600 device but as long as its on your ok no need to stress

just hold power+ volume down if it doesnt reboot after a minute let go and try again. or you could try all in one toolkit for your carrier to reboot to bootloader. trust me ive been stuck in aroma countless times there is a way

As I've said, adb and fast boot don't see the phone. I'm just going to have to wait for it to die.

If you've held the buttons for around 40 seconds you are going to just have to wait for the battery to die happened to another person. One other thing count the flashes after 20 release and then hold again and it should reset at 15 flashes if not then you are going to have to wait for the battery to die. Good news is after that the other person was able to get back to recovery and didn't have the problem again.

still nothing. Hope it drains down completely over night. I need to be able to get the thing up and running tomorrow

As an Evo owner I was shocked to hear the correct procedure for that phone was pwr + VOL UP AND VOL DOWN yes all three at the same time. I assumed vol up and vol down could not both be selected at the same time because they were on a rocker switch where, if one side is low, the other must be high. But it turns out you could do both. Is the HTC One like this?

back up and running. battery finally died. Flashed stock boot.img after a recharge and all is well.
I'm swearing off of aroma installers from here on out.

Had the same problem also today. But I did not give up to try pressing power + vol down. After several attempts the phone finally restarted.

You're more patient than me I guess. I worked at it for more than an hour and a half.

Simulated battery pull doesn't work on my phone

So I made the mistake of dirty flashing the new viper rom 1.1.0 on top of 1.0.4. Got stuck in a boot loop then on the viper screen. Yes it's my fault for dirty flashing however I was stuck on the viper logo for over 30 min. I tried holding down power over 10 seconds a bunch of times. Kept trying & trying. Waited a while it finally took a reboot after dozes of trys. So my phone is not taking the simulated battery pull correctly. Even was the rom was working perfectly I would try it while booted & the screen would come up to keep holding to reboot but the phone would never actually reboot. It always worked perfect on my evoLTE and the entire point of it is if your phone is jammed up you have an out. So if it's just my phone it must be a hardware issue, anyone else have trouble with there phone? If it is just my phone I wanna get it swapped out cause it can lock up even when doing everything right and I don't wanna have to wait for the battery to die.

Try with the down volume key pressed as well. Sometimes the power button itself hasn't worked for me. But with the volume key it always works for me.

I tried that too many times. I already re-locked, flash backed to stock gonna bring it in. The phone just refuses to accept a force restart. I attached a screen shot, the phone will just continue to sit on that message until I let go and never reboot.
Just got back from Sprint store, of course it works perfect every time I'm in there. I can't expect them to swap it when it's working. I hate going there, the guy says to me just hold the button to the menu comes up to reboot it. Tried explaining what a fail safe was he didn't seem to get it. Gonna unlock again and just be careful about dirty flashing it was my fault that it got stuck in a boot loop anyway but I still expect the fail safe to work, it always did on me evo LTE
