[Q] Stuck in stock recovery? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just reset my Rogers HTC One to stock and was trying to apply an OTA update, phone rebooted fine to stock recovery but the update froze while in recovery, I'm trying to exit recovery by holing power + vol down but nothing is happening, what can I do to exit stock recovery?

Switch the lights on in the room and try again. Seriously.

LOL thanks! I can't believe something as ridiculous as that did the trick! I literally held the buttons down while I put the phone near a lamp, and it worked!

[Q] Stuck on Htc Logo and can not power off

Hi Everyone;
I unlocked my phone for flashing custom rom. After unlocking i reebooted it and was normal. Then i flashed cwm via htc one toolkit. It was successfull as well. Then i go to cwm and made factory reset + wipe cache + dalvik cache. Then i go to install zip from sd card but i could not find my rom file. Thought, it was deleted while unlocking device. Then decided to reboot phone again to copy rom file into the phone and reboot.
But, when i rebooted phone from cwm, it stuck on HTC Logo( Quietly Brilliant screen). Waited sometime, but nothing happened. Then i tried to power off it and boot into bootloader or recovery. I press and hold power button but it does not respond anyhow. When i am holding power button ,back and home buttons are blinking but nothing happens. Almost five minutes i waited as holding down power button but phone does not power off anyhow. i tried all methods like vol down + power, vol up + power and both volume keys + power. But really nothing happens, just blinking back and home buttons. That's all.
I can not simply power off device. :crying:
I also tried boot device via fastboot commands but it says "waiting for device" means computer does not recognize device.
Guys, i need an urgent help. Please...
just keep trying to reboot via holding power or power+vol down. if it doesnt reboot after 30 sec or so let go then try again. if that doesnt work you will have to wait for the battery to die. once you get to bootloader use all in one toolkit to erace cache. then boot to recovery and you rom should be there if not boot back to bootloader and sideload rom

First thank you for your quick reply. Unfortunatelly, power+vol down does not work at all. Maybe i tried 50 times.
Anyhow, after battery die. How can i boot into bootloader. I mean, can phone be charged again in this situation? Also, even if i manage to boot into bootloader or recovery how can i put custom rom file into phone. Actually, i did not use sideload or whatever you mentioned before.
I am serouisly confused now and don't know what to do.
Anyhow, as you said, firlst i need wait to battery die i think. Then i will report back whats happen.
Thank you again btw.

yes your not the first person with this problem. hold power+vol down to get into bootloader. press power button in bootloader to get in fast boot mode. use all in one toolkit to erase cache and side load rom. i recommend all in one toolkit because it automates the process. just select the option then follow on screen steps
Good to hear that i am not the first person That means somehow there is a solution i beleive. Still waiting for battery die. even i had 50 percent battery at the begining but still it holds on I never say again htc battery is bad
I exeprienced that stucking on boot logo several times before with my other htc phones but holding power + vol down/up worked always. This is the first time for me that i faced with power button can not power off device.. Well, ,i hope i wish i can handle out this problem. Definetley with your help.
Regards,
I am having the same problem and don't know what to do :crying:
Today I just got my One. Unlocked bootloader, rooted, flashed Android Revolution rom. Everything worked fine for a while... I wanted to reinstall the rom because I wanted to change some options in the installer - I did not wipe because it was the same rom (big mistake I guess!!). After making the installation option changes, when it was done it proceeded to reboot but now I am stuck in a white HTC logo boot loop hell... (with the red text at the bottom that says "this build is for development purposes only" etc). Holy crap I never had a phone that I could not remove the battery. I cannot get this back into recovery or ANYTHING, it just keeps looping... computer recognizes it, no problem with drivers or anything it just doesn't stay connected long enough (because of the constant looping) to be able to use the toolkit.
PLEASE any advice?? Can't even shut it down omg. Do I have a $600 brick here? :crying::crying:

Did you read the other posts in this thread? The way you do a "battery pull" on this phone is to HOLD the PWR + VOL DOWN button for ~15seconds. Your capactivie buttons will blink, too. On my device, it took exactly 15seconds to reboot. There have been some reports of some phones that get so stuck that you just have to wait until the battery dies and charge it back up.
Alternatively, if the computer is recongizing it, try to adb reboot recovery to try and get into the recovery.

hi again. this morning my battery finally out. Then i put my phone to the charger and started it in fastboot mode( that is a good new) Then i left it for 20-30 minutes to charge a little bit for flashing custom rom.Then i went to recovery and started adb sideload. Sideload was succesful and finally came to aroma installer of trickdroid. I chose my installation options and started to flash rom but process was frozen on 10 percent. It was saying unmount system, unmount cahce and both of them has notification as "already unmounted". But installation was not going on. Then again i tried to go back fasboot mode again by press and holding power+vol down but unfortunatelly lights are blinking but nothing happens again. I think i need to wait to battery die again.
Isn't it quite weird? Why power+vol down combination does not work for me anytime? So, do i need to wait for battery die in every frozen? Do you have any ideas or comments ?
Do i need to go back to stock first ?
EDIT : Battery was out again and i tried once more. This time installation (trick droid) was successful but it frozen at the end this time. And unfortunatelly i can not restart (power+vol down) it again again Holy crap, i am really pissed off with this problem.
O..K...Finally, i managed to start my phone and now it works... Especially thank you skinsfanbdh for your support.
But still i don't know how to solve button configuration problem. But anyhow i think i won't need quite sometim to use it I hope someone can find a solution for that later.
Guide me with steps please

Stuck on OTA

So i've used RUU to get my device back to 1.28.401.7 and then flashed clockwork recovery to root my device, everything went good until device started to update my OS, so now it stuck on the update screen, holding power button to restart device is not working, what to do?
EDIT: Finally Restarted, but went over again, and now it turned off completely and when im pressing the power button, its just flashing the button lights
For apply an OTA, you need the stock recovery.
So, for reboot your phone, put it on a stronger light and longpress power + vol -

Stuck In Bootloop - Cant Enter Recovery

Hey Everyone,
Randomly woke up to my phone stuck in a bootloop. Im running Insertcoin 4.3 Sense edition, but I did try flashing GPE 4.4 without any luck. Reflashed the 4.3 and had no issues last night. Then this morning my phone entered this bootloop I cant get out of. I cant enter recovery do to the loop and when I get into the H-Boot menu it resets itself in like 4 seconds and enters the boot loop again. Its not enough time for me to get into fast boot to push anything though adb.
Any suggestions or am I screwed?

restart your phone with holding volume down than press and hold the power button. your button lights should light up. once you boot into h boot screen hit the fastboot selection as fast as you can. if you got into the fastboot try running this command with ADB.
fastboot erase cache
if that still doesn't work try
fastboot erase userdata
good luck let me know how it goes!

ding ding ding!!! Turns out letting a child put your phone near your mouth will mess up the power button. After putting it in front of my wood stove for 15 minutes it was working again.

[Q] SOLVED. Stuck on boot screen with no way out

I'm stuck at the white boot screen with the green htc logo, the red dev text, and the word android on top of the red text.
I just unrooted and went back to stock using the latest ruu.
I'm unlocked and s-off.
I wanted to put on a recovery for it but when I did, the red text about the build being for dev purposes showed up.
I thought flashing the stock boot img would fix that.
It didn't. I can't reboot out, turn off the phone, get to bootloader or recovery, or anything.
Adb and fastboot can't see the phone is connected cause it's at the boot screen.
I tried holding Vol Up and Power for a minute and then tried shining a light on the front camera for a couple of minutes.
Is there any hope to fix this?

the red text is normal after flashing a custom recovery, the other stuff might be you flashed the wrong recovery for your phone, I don't know what phone you have or what recovery you flashed, if it's a sprint phone it should be for m7wls.did you flash superuser after the recovery.to gain root

I have a sprint htc one m7. I flashed philz for this phone and it worked fine. So the problem was that I flashed the stock boot image on fastboot and for some reason, it got stuck on the boot screen when I tried booting in and I don't have a way of getting out of that boot screen. So far, i'm thinking that I might have to wait for the phone to run out of power and die so it can be off then charge it up and see if I can get into bootloader. But I was hoping there would be another way of getting out of boot screen.

I used the flashlight from my other phone on it but it blinks as long as I hold it down, it doesn't seem to stop. And no, the screen doesn't turn off, it's still the same boot screen.
EDIT- It probably was the damn light lol. I happened to plug in the One to the charger and there was a lamp next to it, so I put it under that and held the power and volume down key and the screen went dark and booted into fastboot and I smiled greatly Thank you! Now the beginning starts.

cant Use my touch screen!!?

So i installed the rooted stock download on my s-on SprHtc one m7 and the install was seemingly successful, but now my touch screen isnt working. i cant unlock the phone and when i press the volume keys i cant touch the slider, or slide the drop down menu down. when i try to restart the phone it hangs at the "1" count indefinitely it seems. any ideas as to what went wrong? to make matters worse, i usually back up my data on twrp and then port it to my laptop to save space, but now my laptop is having trouble recognizing my phone.

Flash a rom that is based on 3.xx.xxx.x or higher and make sure you are using the latest version of twrp.

Yeah that rom is old there was a Touch Panel driver update between 1.31.xxx.x and 3.04.xxx.x
btw the latest is 5.05.651.x so that will tell you how old the rom you flashed is.
You should be able to hold the pwr button until the lights stop flashing at that point it will be off or it will try to reboot.
If it's off press pwr until it starts to boot and hold vol down that will take you to bootloader.
If it reboots hold vol down to get to bootloader.

super freaking face palm. i thought that this was the stock rom for the latest sense. omfg. ruined by my own stupidity..
i cant hard reset my phone, attempting to let it die of battery loss and maybe i might be able to restart it in twrp.
will my touch screen work if its in twrp?

It's been a while but I think it will. If you can manage to get to bootloader you can update twrp.
Maybe try pwr + vol down to reset just keep holding both.

holding down the pwr and vol button isnt working..im just gonna have to let it die.
do you think the side load option will let me push my backup over to my phone?
assuming i can even use twrp, knowing my luck, i wont be able to access recovery..

Sideload very rarely works from what I've seen.
You could adb push the backup but I'm not sure if it would flash I've never tried.
A last resort is RUU and start fresh.
i managed to restore my phone,but im having trouble getting twrp to recognize that my backup is in the folder. i copied it back and it doesnt show up in recovery. is there anyway around this?
