Hey I need some help.
I have a stock exhibit II 4g and I am trying to root it but I've tried a thousand times and it will not go into recovery mode. I've tried many timing variations one the simple power and volume up. Some site say to do power, volume up, and home. and the there volume down and power which takes it into Odin Mode which just sits there "downloading" forever.
I've even watched youtube videos and time it exactly like they do but my phone just does not do the same thing that theirs does. Is there some trick to it that I'm not getting?

Try this. Plug it into USB cable of computer, pull out battery, hold volume up and power and reinsert battery. You should come to a screen with a triangle, just hit the menu key and you will be in recovery.

Besuure the computer has the right drivers installed as well. Not sure where you was getting the info but the wiki for this phone list the correct procedures

Trial and error
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
That worked, thanks. But now my data doesn't work with any of the ROM's I've tried (CM10 and slimbean both 4.1.2). and the android keyboard stops working whenever i install gapps.
Any idea why?
Not that the roms come with data off but did you check to be sure data is enabled. Usually the easiest is the most overlooked.

I've managed to get into recovery by holding both up and down, holding power till the screen turns on, releasing power, then waiting till I see the recovery menu to release up and down.

Go to settings, then under wireless and networks select more>> mobile networks... Make sure data option is checked, if not check it and see if that solves your problem

If you don't have option to send to Sony try phone store and get them to remove battery and flash stock again....or if feeling brave do your self

Glad you got it sorted.
How did you turn off as your original post said you couldn't, just in case it happens again to me when flashing mods.

i hold on the power button (sleep/wake button) and the off button at the back. i hold them at the same time. after feeling 3 vibrations, release the power button. the device should turn off now. when you feel one vibration. it doesn't turn off the phone. the phone will just boot up again.
isnt there a soft reset button on the back of the phone (you know the button you use a pen to press it).

Hi, I have the same issue and I try this solution but it didn't work for me.
Because I want to try the trinity vengeance rom and I'm scared that if I have a bootloop, I can't turn off my phone.
Sorry for my english ^^

Hi, your problem is solved?
Edit: I found the solution in the other topic in Q/A.
I hold the power button with volume up and the off button at the back.
I wait 3 vibrations and the phone turn off. Thanks to xda community

Thanks to your guides I have found out a full solution for this. I'm come from Trinity...'s rom and have bootloop too.
1. Keep the device connected with PC by USB cable
3. Open and prepare a firmware in Flashtool
4. Flashtool notifies to have your phone connected in flashmode --> It's time to go
5. Press and hold combination of Volume Down + Power + Reset
6. After 3 times vibrating with GREEN Led blinking, have your fingers relaxed and your SP's been in flash mode then :good:
7. Bear in mind that you should be careful for the next time playing with Rom and mods! :laugh:

Ok, I have a HTC One from new, only a few months old. 4 days ago I rooted my device and flashed with Android Revolution HD, Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) - latest official HTC One 3.57.401.500 (WWE) firmware (3x.x series). Everything has been working like a dream, perfect.
Last night I was listening to some music via Google Play when everything stopped and went blank, I pressed the power button and the bottom buttons flashed 4 times (reboot?). The battery at the time was at 70% +
No matter what I try now, power + up volume, power + down volume, power + both volume, just power will not get my device to boot. I am currently leaving it plugged into the mains to see what happens but there is no LED light on.
Can anyone out there help me besides saying send it back for repair
Many thanks in advance
One thing to add. When I plug the phone into the PC via USB, I can press power and up or down volume and can hear the connect and disconnect sounds happening with my HTC One but still no power or sign of life. Anything going on I can't see?

Going through exactly the same thing here. Phone was working just fine, had stock Android 4.3 installed after rooting with CWM and now the only response I get from it is when I hold down volume down and the power button I get the USB unplug/plug unknown device sounds on the PC.
Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

So now if you hold the phone power+vol down buttons the lights don't flash? Try holding them for longer, also try holding a flashlight to the light sensor while holding the button combination..

I got the same problem yesterday
my htc one is flashed with google edition 3.4 for few months ,suddenly it is black and no charging light nor response to any combination of power plus volume
I put for few hours on charging no any response
when plugging it the desktop in device manager just feel like something is attached to pc (do just like(refresh)
I've just read about how this problem could've happened because of using 3rd party chargers with a higher voltage/ampere rating.. Is that true?

I've been using Samsung and Nokia chargers every now and then. But it seems stupid something like that would be enough to toast a phone. Don't phone components have surge protectors?

It's just weird. I've taken great care of the phone and it bricked for no decent reason. It wasn't charging or anything. It was simply on the top of a table, in the shade. Whenever I plug it into the computer, I get the QHSUSB_DLOAD unrecognized device, which is also weird. If the motherboard is fried, it shouldn't be recognized at all, right?

It will actually get recognized.. But this unfortunately is a hard brick.. Looks like this is the mode in which Qualcomm/HTC inserts initial codes into the phone to make it work.. Like maybe it programs the bootloader at this stage?

I'm downloading the RUU as a hail mary, but I'm not very hopeful. Worst part is that I live in Brazil and have a device from Australia. It's going to be a HUGE amount of trouble to get it replaced, apart from all the stuff I had on it.

You need to be able to boot up at least in fastboot mode to flash an RUU.. I tried when my phone died.. 99% it won't work. Getting a replacement is all you can do.. Unless you find somebody in your area with a jtag box and a good level of expertise/experience.

Yeah, some places have the JTAG box around here, but they don't work with HTC One, since the device didn't officially come to Brazil. I guess I'll have to figure out how to get my phone to Australia and then back again.

Try these steps to boot:
Hold your HTC One's light sensor below BRIGHT light then try some combinations with volume down and powerbutton until it boots... If it doesn't tell me

My phone just did the same thing. Tried to turn it on and nothing Plugged in the charger and no light.
How I turned it on.
Hold down the volume up key and the power key for days, it finally turned on. Battery had 80% charge. Powers up and charges now. Let me know if it works for you.
I have HTC One I bought it from ebay, the problem is not turning on and not charging either, it did try to turn on once when it was plugged in to my PC but screen showed up for brief moment and vibrated but disappeared after that.
When I plug the phone to PC it is trying to load the driver and also show up as Android 1.0 in device manager (see attached), and also PC making noise same as when we plug some thing in USB.
I tried to hold volume + power and PC making noise like something detecting but nothing showing up in my computer.
I really appreciate if someone can help me to narrow down the problem.
Thanks

When you hold power button for more than 8-10 secs, is the notification light(it will be in the upper speaker) turning on atleast?
anyway, it sounds like a manufacture defect, i would recommend you to return it in HTC service center ASAP and get a replacement to avoid any future issues.

No notification light come on but sometimes if I keep pressing volume up+volume down + power for longer than 2 min screen come on briefly and phone vibrates but than nothing
I cannot send as a warranty replacement since I don`t know the history of the phone.
What you guys think its worth while to give to repair shop and what you think its going to cost me.
Correct me if I m wrong, if there 8s any problem in mobo it woun't show up on PC as an android device. So I think its software messed up.
There is any way to do diagnostic on the phone?

Have you tried a different USB Cable? Different USB port?
Install HTC Sync, then uninstall it, but keep the drivers when it asks.
Hold Power and Volume Up at the same time, can take anywhere up to 1 min.
Post back if you get anything.
Yesterday I booted into recovery mode two times
1st time I tried factory reset nothing happened
2nd time I tried ruu, and it get to point where ruu tried to reboot and after that nothing
And I was not able to boot it again.
They way it got into recovery I hold it volume down + power
But after two bootup red light started flashing agin as before.
Any gelp will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
My Phone Suddenly Stopped working while i was accessing an app on it. I suddenly got app fore close errors of almost all the apps running in background. Than phone lost its signal. i tried force rebooting it by holding on the power button. the button lights (at the bottom) blinked for few time and my phone got off. And never turned back on. I am not getting Red Charging LED. i tried all the combinations of power button with volume rocker up,down, holding three buttons simultaneously. i tried charging my device on regular intervals from 15 minutes to 2 hour. but it wont turn back on. i was on insert coin 6.0-5. i am using original charger to charge my phone.
Please tell me any alternates i should try.
