How long are you holding the buttons? The lights will flash for several seconds before booting to the bootloader.
Have you tried doing it with the device powered off?

Hold the Power button till the screen goes black, then release it & quickly press & hold the Power button & Volume Down to get into the bootloader

im holding the power button only for as long as i can and yet nothing. The capacitive buttons blink and nothing, no vibrations black screen. Just the boot image

Well, I have no idea then.... The phone should turn off after holding the Power button for ~10 seconds while the capacitive buttons blink... For how long are trying to turn off the phone? I would suggest you to let it in bootloop over night, so the battery gets drained & then try to go into bootloader in the morning when charging [emoji4]

I'm having the same issue. My volume down button barely works and when it does it's temperamental. I've done the same and had the same issues with the blinking lights. I've let the battery drain out and tried to redo it to no avail. ADB and Fastboot commands don't work either since it doesn't boot up far enough for the adb wait-for-device commands either, so I think mine is fully bricked. I have a Nexus 4 which I'm using but it would be nice to get my M7 working again as a backup/mess around phone

Soft Bricked HTC One (URGENT)

Hey, a fellow XDA member has managed to soft brick his One. He flashed a bad zip file, and his phone boot loops. He cannot access the boot loader as he has Fast Boot turned on in Settings - Power, however he can't turn this off as he can't turn the phone on. Has anyone got any advice?

No the LEDs just flash forever
put the phone under a bright light.
hold down power, lights will flash and phone will shut down in about 15-20 seconds
then hold volume down and power to get back to bootloader

hello,
actually it's my problem. thanks MacHackz for all the help he already has done for me.
I tried that with a bright light. it worked in this way that phone really turns off, but as soon as I remove the light, it turns on again. I cannot get it into bootloader.
EDIT: I flashed the phone with MAG-light from the start of charging. screen was black, but buttons started to blink. it went into hboot, and from there I went into recovery. I went to a reboot and press power off. I'll recharge it fully, and then I'll try to sideload a new ROM.
EDIT II: I tried to charge it, but it simply wont stay off. as soon as I plug the cable in, it turns on! I manage to enter HBOOT so I went into recovery and there phone is charging. so, I'll recharge it there and upload a RUU.
does anyone has right RUU? I have EU version from UK.
Did you not make a backup before flashing ??, there is a list of roms on Mikes Android Revolution Rom post - have a look at his guide
Heres another list also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2194707

many thanks man indeed, you helped me like anyone before !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow...i've been sitting in my dark bedroom for the past 90 minutes trying everythign to wake up my damn phone after it crashing and not coming back to life. ADB was still responsive but none of the reboot commands would do anything. FINALLY found this, went in the bathroom, held the phone up to the light with the power button help down and 10 seconds later it's back to life. double you tee eff...

[Q] Can't restart non-booting device!

Hi
ReVolt ROM is stuck on the flash screen on second boot up.
Long press of power button does nothing but flash buttons no matter how long I hold it for!
Phone isn't showing as connected to PC either so cannot use adb commands.
Do I have to wait for the thing to die??? If so thats annoying as its at 91%
Umh, for which version of One is this rom?
However, re-try with longpress of Power button
International. CID is HTC_001.
Tried power again. Held for about 20 seconds... Nothing.
Can you share the link of the rom?
I can't see it in htc one section...

Shine a bright light at the phone and hold down power for 20 seconds Seriously
Right... Seriously... How the hell did that work???? I'm stunned. Brilliant.
its becoming a known fact that putting it under a light while holding button combo is a real solution. it has something to do with the sensors to prevent an accidental button combo while in a pocket or bag

[Q] Flashed Rom. Now touch screen wont respond

I flashed this rom ( Sprint_HTC_One_1.31.651.2_Stock_Rooted ) . Phone booted and touch screen stopped working. I'm in a rough situation because the phone also will not reboot. I've tried holding all buttons, just the power button, the power and volume down button. No resolve. Anyone have any suggestions on how to make this phone reboot (besides waiting for battery to drain lol )so I can try to install another rom and see if touch screen comes back. Thanks
You need the newest firmware it sounds like

I cant do anything with the phone though because its stuck on the lock screen. Cant touch anything and cant get it to reboot
Oh and I accidently posted in the wrong section... wasn't sure if I should just leave it up or delete it
Just ask the dev to move it....hold the power button and volume down then release power after about 7 secs and press it again but keep volume pressed the whole time to get to boot loader then go to recovery from there

that would work great if the phone was off...but the phone is on the lock screen... When I hold the buttons It counts down 3....2.....1 then hangs at 1.. Ive held the buttons for over a minute no dice..... It seems the only way to reboot is through ADB but I cant allow my computer to connect to the phone because of the screen being locked... wish there was another way to reboot this phone without waiting for the battery to die

Hold the power button until the home/recent apps buttons at the bottom stop blinking...if it reboots let go of the power and hold vol down this will get you to the bootloader
If it does not reboot press the power and let it start to reboot and hold vol down
The buttons just continue to blink.. no reboot just stuck at lock screen

If you hold the power button down long enough it will power down or reboot
I held the power button down for over 2 minutes... should I hold it longer? Here's what happens, after holding the power button... on about 5 seconds in a message pops up and says continue holding power button for reboot. I continue to hold it and a count down starts.... goes from 3 to 2 to 1.... the phone just stays at one no matter how long I hold the power button in for

hmmmm never seen that before, try holding power and vol down see if it gets you to bootloader
Yeah tried that... pretty much tried all button combinations for all amounts of length....this is how stumped I am. I've been a member on this site for years and I think this is the first time I ever had to post a question about a phone. I seem to always find an answer but this time I just couldn't I'm baffled as to what can be happening and why this phone wont reset.
Yeah I mentioned that in an earlier post. I cant adb because I cant unlock the phone to allow the computer to be trusted by the phone... I have the phone sitting on the table with a piece of tape holding the power button in causing the screen to stay on and keep the endless countdown going... hoping that kills it quick..... I guess that's the solution to this problem if anyone else may happen to come across the same thing lol

Plug in a USB otg cable and a USB mouse.

How did you get yourself into that situation, lol. This is why I slightly perfer the Galaxy's because you can just pop the battery off. I get a HTC and just try and do as little as possible, and quad check everything.
Did you get it done atleast?

When you are holding the power button down and it starts to count down shine a flashlight at the light sensor to the left of the speaker on the top (or hold it under a bright light). I had this happen to me before where it wouldn't simulate the battery pull. Just sat there. Apparently the phone has a built in defense to not reset in low light situations in case you accidentally hit the power button while the phone is in your pocket. The flashlight on the sensor trick works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314952

Phone Wont Boot, Flashing Home and Back Buttons, Red LED

I tried to update my rooted HTC One but it seems that something went wrong. The phone will not boot. When I hold down the power button the home and back buttons start to flash. I have tried to boot into the bootloader by holding the power button until the home and back buttons stop flashing but all that does is turn the red LED on and the screen stays black. How do I fix this so I can use my phone again?

The buttons are supposed to flash when you hold down the power button. After the buttons stop flashing, quickly release and then hold the power + vol down buttons. That should work unless something really got messed up.

Maybe the volume button is stuck down. Play with it try again. I'd it goes back to boot loader try rebooting to system from menu.

your phone is physically broken ...why did you think we could help, Theirs no magic software fix for broken power and volume buttons
But button was working just before i shut it down. In fact if i hold down the power button something happens a sort of reboot to the bootloader).

That's pretty strange, most time it's working or it's not
did you try holding the phone under a bright light and holding the power down for 20 seconds
Yes and there is short black screen and then back to the bootloader

well if it stays in the bootloader you could relock and flash a RUU
I HAVE THAT SAME EXACT PROBLEM!! My HTC One M7 was working completely fine until the battery died earlier this evening. I charged and switched it on (without pressing the volume down button, just the power button) but it seemed to have entered the bootloader. But while in there, only the volume up button works, neither the power button nor the volume down button worked (though I never had any issues with them prior to today!) So now I'm stuck in this screen. Doesn't help if I shut it down or let the battery drain then recharge it. It's just stuck here...
If anyone's got ideas on how to solve this, please do let me know
BandicootUK. Did you find a solution? I'm having the same problem.
