Power Button not working in hboot/bootloader unlock - Sprint HTC One (M8)

On my M8 H/K, the PWR button isn't being recognised while in hboot and such. It works to boot the phone up, wake & lock screen, etc. Just not in hboot or anything pre-boot.
I'm trying to unlock the bootloader & s-off so I can unlock it to use with T-Mobile. My VOL UP button is dead, VOL DOWN button works perfectly, but eh PWR button doesn't work in hboot or selecting Yes to unlock the bootloader (I even had to use adb to reboot the phone into bootloader since it won't let me boot with PWR + VOL DOWN.
Anything I can do ?

They will if you get everything done right. Had a few Sprint phones on T-Mobile & Straight Talk.
Still need to unlock the bootloader & s-off and so on anyways.

go into settings/power and turn off fast reboot
then power down phone
volume down + power will put you in bootloader mode

Touchscreen in Recovery not working

So I was going to install the InsertCoin 3.0-3 ROM and decided to update to the 2.24 firmware first. I changed the CID (I have the AT&T version) to 11111111 and installed the update as follows
you can flash it from fastboot
adb reboot bootloader (or reboot to bootloader via APM)
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware-2.24.401.1-custom.zip
after it finish YOU WILL NEED TO RUN IT AGAIN
fastboot flash zip firmware-2.24.401.1-custom.zip
You should see successful at the end. Now type:
fastboot reboot

Rebooted into recovery (TWRP 2.5) and the touchscreen doesn't work. Eventually, the TWRP lock screen comes up and of course, I can't unlock it because the touchscreen doesn't work. I know the phone isn't frozen because after 30 seconds or so, the screen will turn off. Pressing the power button will turn the screen back on and the time/battery changes.
Holding down the power button makes the back and home button flash, but does not restart the phone. Holding down power+vol down does the same thing.
What do I do now? Fastboot and adb don't work so I can't restart that way

REASON:- THE NEW FIRMWARE HAS MODIFIES TOUCH SCREEN DRIVERS(its a known problem with TWRP v2.5.0.0)
SOLUTION :- press and hold power+volume and keep it pressed for almost a minute(the back light flashes 11 or 12 times turns of and then you will reboot)
Do this again or even one more time!!(also try simply power button for long)
it does the trick

I am stuck on this as well (HTC One [M7] Sprint running TWRP 2.5.0.0) and the power button + volume (ive tried both) doesnt seem to reboot the phone. Is there another solution to reboot or do i have to wait for the battery to run out of juice?

Go to Settings, then Power. By default, fast boot box will be checked. Uncheck that box. Then power off the phone and then, power+volume down buttons will get you into bootloader

[Q] (Q) help!!!!!! reocked the bootloader now problems.

(Q) help!!!!!! reocked the bootloader now problems!!!
#1. in normal booted os the power button works fine as well as down vol button. top wont work but ive replaced the vol cable and that still wont work. its a software issues I think.
#2. in bootloader I can use the vol down and it move the way the up should I go to use the vol up and it wont move. I use the power and it wont select anything. cant reunlock the bootloader.
im wondering if I can some how get it unlocked without the buttons. as I can get into fastboot and pc will flash the unlock.bin.
or 2 can I flash something to get the buttons to work right in fastboot.
what do you guys think is wrong???
is it a board issue?
I don't understand how it would work correctly booted normaly but as soon as I try to enter bootloader it wont work.
bootloader is not frozen as like I said I can move with the vol down button but cant select. with power but power works fine in android. thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!
try to disassembly the phone its to simple ,head up to youtube and search htc first disassembly and after you have opened your phone ,remove the volume keys flex cable and clean the dust if it has and re-insert the flex cable at her place and power up your phone to bootloader to see if it works

shut down your phone and press power + vol + buttons while restarting it will take into recovery.
If above doesnt work try power + vol - buttons
