I believe the power button in my HTC One is messed up and has put the phone into a bootloop. It boots halfway the restarts. But I have noticed that the capacitive buttons blink/flash before going off... does that have to do with a anything? Also is there a way to disable the power button and have an alternative to turning it on and off. Thanks in advance.

is the power button pushed in? because the capacitive keys flash when you hold it in to restart

No but maybe there was a short circuit somewhere... could that be it? Could I just replace the power button somehow

That's weird are you on a custom Rom or stock? And I'm sure you can but I've never seen a replacement power button and these phone aren't the easiest to repair

I have a Nexus One that recently don't boot.
THe first problem I got with it is the screen was turning black when I called someone. Then the phone didn't boot at all.
When I plug it on the power it gives me a light. I charged it till it's green.
Tried booting it with some tricks like hold : vol down, sleep button and the track ball. No result.
I don't thinkt he phone is rooted.
ANy ideas?
While the phone is plugged in, pull out the battery and put it back in a few times. Does the phone start back up? If so, it is most likely because your power button has gone bad.

I think this is the problem since I feel the power button is weird when I press it.
Any solution ?
thanks.

The "solution" is posted above. With phone plug into charger, remove and insert battery. Might take a few times for it to come on. That is if the power button is the cause.
You'll need some ROM with trackball wake if your button is broken.
Any idea how to fix a frozen screen?? I was moving an app from one screen to the next and it froze on that part. Now the device seems unresponsive. Holding power buttons or volume rockers does nothing.
Anyway to fix this?? Or should I just wait for the battery to die.
Thanks guys/girls

Usually Power + Vol Down or Power + Vol Up or Power + Vol Down + Vol Up
Try each of those and hold them for at least 10 seconds...should reboot.
Just hold power

Usually holding the power button for 10 seconds has the same effect as "pulling the battery" if needed.

Same thing has happened to me, twice-first when I first was going through the set up, no response until multiple reboots, was able to set up device. Again today on fully set up N7, unless i rubbed the screen repeatedly then it would change desktops and "refreeze", until multiple reboots via holding power button down, then the device finally worked ok-hopefully a driver issue.
I'm stuck at the splash screen. I can't get it to reboot, holding down the power button does nothing. I can't get into recovery. It won't show up in adb to push anything, or fastboot. What do I do?
are you holding down the power down for a good amount of time, sometimes it can take up to 30-45 seconds to hard reset.

A RUU might fix the problem. But I can't find a Developer version RUU so there is no way to test.

Hold down power until the phone turns off the bottom capacitive buttons will start blinking keep holding it until you have a black screen. Then press power button and volume down keep holding both until you are in HBOOT from there go to recovery and then wipe the cache or install a new ROM

So you are saying that it's stuck at the white HTC screen and when you hold the power button down (it makes a little click and your are not letting up at all) the capacitive light don't start blinking takes about 5 seconds?
and the phone has been on for over 2 hours in this state? If it's plugged in unplug it before you hold down power.

They start blinking, but nothing happens. I just timed it, held the power button for two and a half minutes. And yeah I haven't had it plugged in except to try to connect to it with adb, which was unsuccessful. I'm waiting for it to die.

Only thing I can think of is if your power button is a bit recessed so when you try to hold it down it is getting released for a hair of a second the capacitive buttons should blink around 15 times and then the phone will restart. The screen is not flashing black or blank for an instant? Try having someone with long nails hold the power button for you if it's recessed or flush with the casing. Also try holding the power button and volume down so if the phone is restarting without your knowledge it would take you to bootloader

It's not the power button, it was working just fine and I was able to restart my phone just fine before this happened. It's something software side. I've tried to get back to bootloader as well. Doesn't work. The capacitive buttons blink an infinite number of times.

OK you are right! Just had to go through everything I could think of. Let it die. Once it does plug it into a wall not computer and let it charge for a hour. Make sure when you go to turn it on to hold volume down and it should take you to the bootloader. Or you could take it back.

Yeah, I'll just warranty it out if that doesn't work. Just frustrating. This is why I hate not having a removable battery. I don't get why the power button won't just hardware cut power from the battery like normally. Could just be my phone is actually frozen frozen.

It generally does cut it. I have never ever heard of this. It very well may be a defect.

I don't know if it is, just because it had worked before I got stuck at the splash screen.
My phone will no longer boot.
Pressing the power button does nothing.
When I hold down the power button for a period of time (seemingly infinite) and the home and back buttons blink. The screen itself does nothing.
When I hold the power button + up / down buttons (I've tried various combinations) then again, the home and back buttons blink and the screen itself does nothing.
Of course...I'm naturally concerned that the phone is bricked / dead.
I've done some googling and a little reading around and I think I can resolve the issue by botting into fast boot and using hasson2000's all in one toolkit.
....is it likely the phone can be put into 'fast boot' (I think this is what power + volume down does)?
I do I need to wipe "everything" including the custom recovery?
Thanks for your help.

Try holding your phone over/under a bright light while holding down the power key or power/volume key it should boot..

It has something to do with the proximity sensor I don't know why it works but I have seen many members that used it and it worked every time haha

Yep he's right. To prevent soft reboots in your pocket, htc made it so that you need a light in the sensor. Try holding the power button under a light, and be patient. If it doesn't work after 5 sec, keep waiting until it does. I have had to wait for 30sec-1m once, but it worked eventually
EDIT: you could also try if ADB works, in that case you'd just have to use adb reboot.
It worked!
Thanks guys

Are you trying to disable the proximity sensor? If so follow the link below. It is done on an M8 but pretty much the same for an M7.

It works !!! u saved my phone
Ok so i just got out of work and went to look at my phone and i pushed the power button and nothing happened. so I held the power button to see if it just shut off ad that also didnt do anything, so then i tried charging... still nothing, volume down + power... nothing. Can you guys please help me with this? I have absolutely no idea whats wrong, and it makes no sense because I literally hadnt changed or done anything with it all day, and i havent changed ROM's recently either(running Insertcoin 6.0.3 if that makes any difference).
Sounds toasted.

Hold down both power button and vol down until hardware lights start blinking and keep holding until it reboots.

ugly.
if it's under warranty take it for repair.
For anyone returning to this thread looking for the solution to the qhsub_dload problem, i contacted HTC and the only way to fix it is to send it in for repair.

i am quite late... but if did it boot up using these tricks?
(original thread: [GUIDE][FIX] Solve Bootloops and no OS on phone!
Basic issues and troubleshooting? Here it goes
Q: I can't start up my device, not even the soft buttons are lighting up!
A: I know, it sound strange, but you have to do the following thing:
Hold your HTC One below a bright lights source and hold the power button for about 15 seconds or even longer. The charging light will light up. Then hold down the volume down button and try different key combinations!
Q: I still can't boot up my device!
A: Hold volume down and volume up button and the power button for about 90 seconds. If this doesn't work, try holding your phone below bright light again
could be memory problem
it could be a memory problem, do you have enough RAM? sometimes the phone also restarts if it lacks free RAM for its apps to be run
