Hi, after updating my firmware with the Sony Update program, my power button doesn't work. It still turns the screen off when I press it, but holding it down no longer gives me the usual menu letting me turn off my phone
Is there a way to reboot in the OS itself?
Thanks

I assume it is a software problem. Have you tried reinstalling the OS?
press "power +reduce volume "

Hi, wondering if you guys could help me.
My HTC One is stuck on bootloop. I tried to install a GPE rom with S-ON and now it get's to the first screen of the setup and restarts itself. The problem is the volume keys are defunt therefore I can't get into recovery to flash another rom.
Is there anyway I can force the phone to boot to recovery or to hboot ? I tried to «adb reboot recovery» on boot but with no luck.
Really appriciate any help.
Put it under a light and try to longpress Power and vol-.
HI Guich, thanks for the reply.
I did try what you suggested: shined the flash from another cellphone on the One, at the top where the sensors are, and long pressed power+volume-. If I hold the buttons the phone will just restart endlessly and if I let go of the power button and hold the (defunt) volume- the phone will try to boot as standard.
What would the light do to the phone ? Is it supposed to trigger some of the sensors ?
Thanks!

His intention was to re-verify whether you were pressing the volume down key and not the volume up key. There are no hidden sensors im aware of. if nobody else can give u a solution, the only choice wud b a motherboard replacement frm HTC itself

Umh, if you longpress power and vol- it will boot?
Strange.
If you longpress under the light, theoritecally, it have to boot into the bootloader...
raghav kapur that's what I trying to avoid
Guich it boots because the volume button is broken.
I think my only chance is to, some how, force the phone to get into recovery or hboot whilst booting I just don't know how I could do that without the volume buttons.
Just another bit of information.
When I've got the phone connected to the pc, Windows tries to install an MTP device but never gets to finalize the installion because the phone reboots. If I leave the battery flat and then plug it in, with the charging animation on the phone, Windows tries to install an 'unkown device'.

Ah, sorry, my mistake.
If you've a broken vol- you don't have a lot of chance...
It's an unknown device because it don't boot.
I got a problem, the installation of cm11 failed and now when I start my phone it freezes on the Sony logo. When I do a hard reset with the little button behind the backcover, my phone turns off (with no vibrations) and it restarts itself automatically and freezes again at the Sony logo.. Now I can't recover my phone.. Someone that can help me?

Try holding it longer until it vibrates and then flash stock firmware through flashtool.

That's the problem it doesn't vibrate, I press the button, it restart and freeze again. When I am holding the button, it restarts, shut off, restart, shut off, restart, shut off,...
Are you sure you're pressing it hard enough and holding it for at least 10 seconds? Maybe your OFF button is damaged. What kind of object are you using to press it?
Yes I'm pressing it hard enough and I use the point of a pen
But it's alright, I had to keep pressing it with the VOL- pressed and recovered it with SUS.
Thanks
I am glad you got it sorted out
Hi everyone,
I was so glad to received 5.0 OTA yesterday, and install it immediately (version 22.21.11 after updated). But I experienced a lot of problems, so I went to Moto and they tell me to perform a partition wipe. Here is the thing, after I follow their operation tips, my phone won't show me the secret menu, so I can't perform partition wipe, and my phone just keep doing some weird things like killing the background apps. Most frustrating thing is that I cannot even launch the camera using the magic twisting gesture!
Anyone can get into the secret menu under the recovery mode? I don't want to unlock my bootloader yet. Thx
update: after google for a while, there is a new way to find the secret menu according to shamelin73

What do you mean " secret menu?"
The recovery list?

yeah! the menu to let me do the partition wipe... I press Vol UP key for several seconds and press power key, nothing happened.
When I boot into fastboot I use vol. Up+Down and power for 3-5 seconds.

Get to your boatloader first, select the recovery tab. Once the android comes up with "no command"
Push the power button first, while doing that, press the volume up.
That'll put you into recovery.
(You don't have to hold the power button for a few seconds...it just has to be pushed first)
My phone was frozen when I was taking a video,
then I forced restart the phone by pressing power button until it restarted.
However, my phone stuck at the android logo for a quite long time with the screen on, so I decided to do a factory reset.
I have tried the following steps on my friend's phone as we bought exactly same phone,
and succeded at first attempt.
1, volume down + power button goes into boot options.
2, then android logo, then about 2 seconds later, dead android guy would appear.
HERE is my phone's problem:
in this step after showing android logo, my phone would vibrate once and then just gone black,just like turning off. NO DEAD ANDROID GUY showed up. Certainly would not be able to do the rest steps.
I have searched and tried so many methods that others used when they could not get into the bootloader. NONE of them succeded.
So I need help, guys.
Anyone got any ideas.
Thanks in advanced !!!
no one ?
I guess I had to bring it to the store for repairing.

1. power button + volume(down) button
then in bootloader menu:
2. volume(down) button to goto down to 'recovery'
3. volume(up) button for selecting it
Alternative I would try this:
power button + volume(down) button
then in bootloader menu stay here connect usb and use fastboot on pc.
fastboot flashall factoryImage ????
