HTC One stuck in bootloop, can't access bootloader. - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an htc one(m7) fully stock unrooted.
It is stuck on bootloop.. htc splash logo comes on for around 5 seconds and then reboots.
I tried getting into fastboot but it stays there for about 3 seconds and then reboots so I can't get to erase fastboot cache or flash new recovery or unlock the bootloader.
Help please anybody!!

So the bootloader is rebooting itself after 3 seconds? Not good at all....

Yes. Have tried everything including All button pressed for 30 seconds, volume down + power under a bright light. Nothing seems to work!
I had a htc one m7 for a year, unlocked and rooted with custom ROM and never had this kind of problem.

if the bootloader is rebooting itself, its most likely an hardware issue. You need at least a table bootloader to do anything. Sorry

Alright! Thank you for your response.

[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.

no. if it turns on you should be ok. try holdind power+vol down to get into bootloader then try toolkit if it just stays on waiting for device press power button to get into fastboot mode from bootloader

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

Try accessing fastboot and command
fastboot erase cache
And then maybe re-flash your recovery and try again

Problem there is I can get into fastboot mode but because it keeps boot looping I only get about 20 seconds before it bootloops again.

Solved,
I kept trying to get in to recovery and restore a backup which I managed to do after trying about 100 times.
Further update this is still not fixed and I need help please.
I now have copy of a ARHD rom loaded which was a back up that I managed to restore.
I now have permanent blinking soft keys and a message on the screen saying to restart your phone continue to press and hold the power button for 1 second. When I do restart the phone it bootloops again, but if I cover the screen with a cloth the phone will boot up with a repeat of the same issue blinking softkeys and a restart message.
Try reflashing the kernel then do a fastboot erase cache.

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.

[Help] HTC One Stuck in RUU Screen

Hi guys,
Usually I don't need to post for help by I am desperately in need of help I was updating my device to the 4.4.2 Sense ARHD Rom and was flashing the firmware zip and the fastboot errored out and now it is stuck on the silver HTC screen and fastboot is not recognised. When running fastboot it just says waiting on device. Any help would be great.
Hold the power button down for 20 to 30 seconds. The soft key lights will flash several times, and the phone will shut off.

I had a similar problem with my phone.
What I did was instead of trying to get into recovery, I just went to fastboot and flashed the recovery image again and it work.
You may want to try that. (Flash the custom recovery again).
He cant do that, dont try flash recovery, your bootloader is locked, it wont work.
Hold volume down and power button, you will see home and back flash at the bottom, just keep holding till your phone goes off, then hold then volume down only as the phone restarts, should take you into the bootloader.
What did you do to get it stuck in a boot loop ?

I seem to have a similar issue. The problem is that I do not have enough time to select recovery (nor any other option) from the bootloader menu. The phone reboots again before I can choose and confirm my selection. Any pointers?

You have bootloop in the bootloader? If yes then you have a serious problem, probably hard bricked.
