Okay I got it to show up in adb and rebooted it. Now I am stuck at the boot screen and I can't get to recovery, and it won't show up in adb.
just happened to me and adb does not work either.
Edit - Phew just fixed it. Had to install the driver again and got it to reboot with adb.
To reboot the phone without ADB, just hold down the Vol Up and power button for 9 seconds, the phone should shut down. If it doesn't try again. Might take a try or two but I've always been able to reboot that way after Aroma hard freezes.

Actually to force reboot into recovery it's power+ vol down.

I didn't mean reboot into recovery, this is just to shut the phone down after it froze and you can't do anything else. Like when Aroma crashes. I don't know if it's a real button combo, but I found that it worked, it just happened that last night that I reinstalled my rom and tweaks for trickdroid, and it would freeze. I found holding down power and immediately pushing the Vol Up button, after 9 seconds it will shut down. If it doesn't, try again. It'll work, frustrating, but it works.
On a side note, is there a manual out there somewhere that has all the button combos?
Force shutdown, recovery, bootloader, Safemode, stuff like that.
No issues force shutting down the phone using what I did, or getting into fastboot & recovery and stuff, but would be nice if there would be a writeup or a guide on this.
Cheers
Sometimes the forced shutdown doesn't work. You can sometimes use adb to reboot but that doesn't always work either. You just have to let the battery die.
Yep, experiencing this right now! the button combo doesn't work, adb wont recognize the phone, waiting for it to die

The leading hypothesis is that HTC built in a safe guard against you accidently managing to push PWR + VOL DWN when your phone is in your pocket.
I really wish I could remember who I got that fix from--that guy deserves a medal!

I have learnt my lesson the last time when I flashed in aroma when I figure out the bright light thing and promised never to take that chance again if i do use aroma to flash anything I dont even touch the screen I use the power button to select and vol up and dwn keys to navigate and make sure I'm at 10% battery in case I get stuck

Usually when the phone is stuck like that it is registered in ur pc as the phone being off so nothing works when the phone is frozen in aroma lol the only thing that works on the phone is the sensor in that case. I am not too sure but I know for sure the sensor have something to do with the light adjustment of ur screen light when ur in the sun it gets brighter when ur in the dark it gets dimmer even putting the phone to ur ear the sensor tells the screen to turn off and on. Even with the soft keys they don't light up until night time. So when ur phone freezes like that the only thing that knows the screen is actually on is the sensor and if ur in the dark the sensor would not detect it as being on until u put it in some light which makes the power button shut the phone off. This works on HTC Butterfly and the htc one series plenty ppl asked me about it lately on the one x and so on

You. Are. A. Genius. Just f***ing incredible. My phone was stuck on the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen for 15+ minutes with no button combinations working. Flip on the light in my room and BAM the phone reboots. You're a genius
Awesome!
Awesome! Thanks!!!
Nice Tip
Thank you for sharing this i was allready getting crazy about this Problem.
I upgraded to an HTC One a month ago in T-Mobile and now randomly the phone won't turn on. The phone is rooted, unlocked, custom recovery, and has the Android Revolution ROM. I installed everything the first week I got it and it has been working perfectly fine (No freezes, battery discharging has a good rate) and everything works (Wifi, 4G LTE, Bluetooth). The phone has not been dropped, water damaged, or exposed to any excessive heat, so it should not be having problems.
Yesterday (9/14/13), I was using the phone just fine around 8PM with my friends in a restaurant and everything seemed fine. A few hours later when I was walking down the street, I take my phone out of my pocket and when I hit the power to wake up the phone nothing happened. I pressed the power button for 10-20 seconds and nothing.
When I got back to my room and plugged it in, the LED did not turn on or anything and when I pressed the power button again after being plugged in, nothing happened. I charged it all night and decided to work with it today, but nothing has helped. I have tried holding the power button and volume keys for minutes, holding power button and nothing. When I plug in the phone to the PC it detects it (Windows USB sound in) and when I press the power button for around 15 seconds it makes the sounds but then it makes the removed usb sound.
Since the phone is Rooted, unlocked and has custom recovery and rom, I'm not sure warranty would help, ALTHOUGH since it doesn't turn on and physically is not tampered with, they could get it to at least turn on.
Please help me out here as I am a college student and really need my phone for work and to stay in touch with my parents. Thank you, and I apologize if I didn't follow a posting guideline.
P.S. One of the causes could be a drained battery, but the charging all night should have helped.

Try holding the power button and volume down buttons down, while holding the proximity sensor directly under a very bright light...
This actually happened to me on my first HTC one I couldn't get it to do anything I ended up sending it to HTC I knew they would deny my warranty claim because of the bootloader and ROM but I knew they would have to turn it on yo figure it out. They called me to tell me that it was not covered and said it would cost 215 to put it back to regular I denied and paid the $35 diagnostic fee when I got it back I booted straight into fastboot and flashed my backup.problem solved

This actually sounds like a great, thanks , but before sending it out I think I would like to try other solutions since it would suck to not have my phone for 2-3 weeks. Also, how long did the whole process take for you? (Sending it out, "repair", and getting it back)
This happens to a guy in another thread. He fixed it by leaving it in the wall charge until the red LED turned on, it took 4 days on the charge.
Hey it actually only took about 1week take it back to your carrier have them send it for you. I also heard about leaving it on the charger for a long time I tried over night and it didn't work the next thing I did was send it to "repair" but if you have the patience leave it on change for a few days first

I have a Verizon HTC One exhibiting the exact same symptoms. The battery went dead after a long day and it will not turn on or charge. I have held the proximity sensor in bright light while powering on and while holding both vol up and power. Neither seemed to change the problem. How bright of a light are we talking? Thanks in advance. I am also curious why this works....
Maby i can help^^

Its so that if the phone is in your pocket it won't start up as the proximity sensor detects the phone is in your pocket so tells it not to start up. Sometimes the sensor doesn't work as it should and needs a really intense light to overwhelm the sensor and let the phone start up.

Put it under a desk lamp!
I had the same exact problem. My phone couldn't turn on after it reached 0% and there was no orange light when charging. I put the phone right under my desk lamp and held the power button for 15 seconds and it turned on. Thought people were just trolling... The battery was at 1% when it turned on. I already left the phone in wall charge overnight. Guess it was not charging very well. Thanks for coming up with this solution!
It worked!!!
WOW The light over the sensor worked for me too!! I'm glad I came to this forum first!!:laugh::laugh:
Doesn't work for me
This REALLY sucks I just got this HTC One used and I was using it all yesterday and this morning with no problems. Then all of a sudden a couple hours ago it just shut down - I was just browsing the web, so it wouldn't have overheated.
Now, it won't charge (the LED doesn't come on) although it was at about 50% when it shut down. I can't get into the bootloader or recovery, and ADB doesn't recognize that it's plugged in (despite Windows playing the little jingle indicated it's been connected).
Ever since then I've been scrounging the web for answers, What exactly have you guys done for this light trick to work? Because I've held it under a bright LED and under a desk lamp with a 13W CFL bulb, while holding power + volume down, but haven't had any luck.
How long have you guys held them down for?
I haven't even seen the capactive buttons light up (although it's just kinda hard when you're holding it under a light, so maybe they are flashing I just can't see) and the only sign of life from this is the fact that Windows installed Qualcomm drivers and plays the jingle indicating that it's detected a device.
EDIT: Forgot to include, I've been trying to leave it sit charging (one person mentioned their friends' One worked after leaving it charging for 4 days - I'm not sure I can wait that long, but if I have no other option I will).
Also, should I leave the SIM in or would it not matter (personally, I don't see that making any difference whatsoever, but I really don't care at this point)? And should I alternate light/darkness while holding the buttons under a lamp, or just leave it under the light and hold them? (I've tried all of these things, but I'm willing to pursue whatever avenue had the greatest success rate).

Ya, I tried looking into that before, and there's nothing there. Now I'm trying to find out what/where that Qualcomm driver is that was installed.
EDIT: I DO see it in the Devices/Printers as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3).
I've also installed HTC Synce Manager, but I'm not sure if that just automatically installed the drivers or if there's something I should do to manually install those.

Sorry to hear that. You are hard bricked, send it to warranty.
Edit: The motherboard is fried and HTC would have to change it. The phone is used so contact the seller and ask him for warranty information.

Well, since you're under warranty, doing anything else just doesn't make sense. And using jtag would require you to open the phone, and trust me, you don't wanna do that to this phone.. Just out of curiosity, what are the first 5 digits of your serial no?

I'm running a rooted phone with Venom Rom and TWRP. Last night I decided it would be a good idea to make a backup of my phone. So I restarted to recovery using the option in Venom and then made a backup in twrp. When it was done, I rebooted my phone and it got stuck at the HTC startup screen. I reset it and this time once the screen went black, it stayed black. Now I cannot turn it on no matter how long I hold the power button for and the charging led does not turn on when its plugged in. When I plug the phone into a pc, the pc will me the connected noise but I cannot get to the files or anything. I tried removing my sim card and I still cant boot up. Any ideas?

See, the same thing happened to me sometime back.. What I did was shine a flashlight on the light sensor while holding the power+vol down buttons, that didn't seem to work
Then what I did was hold the button combination for around 10secs till the buttons below the screen flash, then connect it to your pc while keeping the combination pressed... Eventually your phone lights should stop blinking and you should boot to hboot..

Good, now charge the phone till 100 and let it discharge completely before charging it back to 100.. This should recalibrate the battery, and should start giving you the right percentages..

Ok, thanks a lot!
So I was trying to update my phone through Sony PC Companion, the files got downloaded. The only thing left was the phone to enter flashmode by turning it off and pressing volume down button while connecting USB port. When I did it, nothing happened....not even a notification light blink!!
Tried all different cables too (including original sony wire)
Also, I tried charging the phone normally after shutting down and not a single thing happened (no light, no screen battery indicator)
The phone is charging when it is on.
Please help me...I'm suffering a lot!!
And sorry for my bad english!!

Change the PHONE via warranty claim. Your hardware is damaged most probably.
You can do two things to confirm. backup your data and then hard reset your phone. Does it still behave the same way?
And when you turn your phone off and connect to PC, what do you see? Tell me exactly like do you see a shimmer of light and then its off or there is some kind of light etc. Just mention everything you can think about. Use flashtool and see if it connects in fastboot mode. (Not official FLASHTOOL) Here is the link : http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
Remember to connect your phone in fastboot according to your model. The instructions given on flashttol are of old device.
Good Luck
Try this
Unplug the usb as usual
Power off as usual
Then plug the usb cable while pressing volume down and also press power button for a two seconds. it will help u.
I also have the same situation like u but pressing the power button done me the trick.

It really worked!! Thanks!!
Three hours ago I was just using my XZ to look up something for GTA V and then I pressed the power button. After playing for about 30 mins, I tried to press the power button and it wont turn on. So I tried rebooting it but nothing happens. I charged it for about an hour and still nothing happen and the LED doesnt being light up. When I press the power button + volume up I could feel the vibrate and if I keep on continuing on hold both button i will feel it vibrate for three times. While Im charging it, the phone doesnt cool down like it stays warm. I just got this phone on September. Help please!!!
EDIT: I also tried connecting it on my PC but my PC doesnt even detect it. I wanted for 30 mins while it's plugged in and nothing happens

How do I do that?
First of all, when you repair your phone with Sony Update service, you will lose all your data!!!
- Charge your phone for 2 to 3 hours, you will only see the black screen but, it should charge.
- Download Sony Update Service, install and open.
- Choose XZ in the list.
- Plug in the data cable in your computer.
- Press and hold POWER and VOL+ button, phone will vibrate once, keep holding both buttons and you will feel 3 vibrations. Now, immediately press and hold the VOL- DOWN(-) button and plug in the data cable into your phone. Your phone should get detected by SEUS and then just repair it. If it doesn't get detected, try again.

First of all, when you repair your phone with Sony Update service, you will lose all your data!!!
- Charge your phone for 2 to 3 hours, you will only see the black screen but, it should charge.
- Download Sony Update Service, install and open.
- Choose XZ in the list.
- Plug in the data cable in your computer.
- Press and hold POWER and VOL+ button, phone will vibrate once, keep holding both buttons and you will feel 3 vibrations. Now, immediately press and hold the VOL- DOWN(-) button and plug in the data cable into your phone. Your phone should get detected by SEUS and then just repair it. If it doesn't get detected, try again.
Hope this helps

I don't know what to tell you then. I did fix my dead XZ once with this method.
Keep trying.
