Try removing the storage card (microSD/SDHC), then holding down this combination of keys: both soft keys, camera key--then press the power button.

Dont forget to place your forefinger on your nose before the restart

Press all the keys on the power up, right and left soft keys, camera button and the power button, all at the same time, again do this on the power up! When you see the color screen, connect your device to your PC via active sync and install a 6.0 ROM on your device, do not try to install a 6.1 ROM on your device at this stage of recovery. The green active sync icon my not show or look like your device is connected to your PC but it is connected, just install a 6.0 ROM on your device. After you install the 6.0 ROM on your device, now you can again try to install a 6.1 ROM on your device. Be patient it will work, your device is not dead.............!

Exca100 dead

Hi member of this excelent forum, Im newbie here my question is how I can boot a dead exca100 and also I need spanish ROM file for recovery again, mates who can help me with this problem?
What are you referring to by dead. Does it not power on cause if it doesn't you can always get a new battery from ebay.

boot mode?
if the hard reset is what you're talking about... I believe you hold down the two "soft keys" while your power on the device.
--The soft keys are the upper most keys to the left and right of the center nav and silver key.

Check this thread for bootloader.
Or are you just on about Hard Reset?
Press the sym button and hold it down. Then while still holding it down plug in a usb cable and the tri colored screen should come up. Now you can load the original rom that the phone came with.

What happens if you hold down the volume button while booting your device?
will try it here....holding the volume down? pls reply asap....thanx for helping
its not really reacting with any button once it get stucked to HTC logo
yea, to boot into the bootloader.
If you hold down the "volume button down" while booting your device it must show the colored screen within a second. Just hold down the "volume down" while pressing the reset button on the back. Keep holding the "volume down" till you see the colored screen.
tell me how please...i will have to remove the battery and put it back in...then it will still charge.....anyway...the only way i can start there is to press the power button and it will start up....but it will get stuck in HTC logo....when do i start going to bootloader in there....pls help...
Have you not tried a hard reset yet?
If that still does not work the flash a new ROM - while connected via bootloader ( only way )

Remove the battery, place the battery, hold down the "volume down" button, start your device ( while still holding the "volume down" button ).
Try a hard reset first as mentioned above:
Hold down the "volume down" button + the round button on the front, then reset your device while still holding those two buttons.

Download a ROM and flash it while the device is still in that mode.

1. restart the phone (with the pen in the small red button at the pen hole)
2. immediately after you have restarted, hold down the volume down button.
3. now you should be in three color bootloadermode.
4. connect your usb cable (after that you will see USB at the white color part)
5. start your custom ruu to flash your new rom.
good luck
edit..
aaaa u solved it while i was writting
great.
To hard reset -
reset your device with the stylus the before anything appears on the screen hold down the Vol down key and the centre button - follow the instructions - but don't use the volume down option unless you want to format you internal memory too.
have you tried to reflash rom? another rom possibly?
trying to do hard reset again...and this time it applies....dont know why it's not reacting awhile ago....

Pull out your battery for 2 minutes, put it back and try to boot. If that doesn't work then:
1) Power off your device (pulling out battery is the bulletproof way)
2) Press the volume-down button and hold it, then press the power button until you see a
white menu screen (bootloader)
3) Try to access recovery (navigate with volume-keys and powerbutton). If you cannot
access recovery then:
4) Download this file http://www.multiupload.com/BTJ8KY0KH9 and put it on your SD-card
root with an external memory card reader.
5) Boot to bootloader again and accept the installation
6) See if it works.

like to do all of this but it dont boot into bootloader doesnt mater if i push volume up or down and power on either way it vibrates 3 times than flashes led.
still... is HTC able to detect a rooted device even if it dont boot? and if so can they deny the waranty
This has happened to me 2-3 times. I definitely think it was because the battery didn't have enough charge. Try charging it for a little time. Have patience.
If its not getting charged I think there might be some problem with your charger, charging cable, charging port or battery.

wll the battery was charged 100% just before that happened - and i tried another battery after this happend - because i was about to install a new rom. so it checks aut that when i try to hboot that its vibrates 7 times than flashes green led (when vol down + power) when i start normaly or when i try to vol up + power its vibrates 3 times
and flashes a orange led ( normaly it would be red but i was on blackice mod)
i have varanty left on that thing and it was rooted s-off when i send it in are they able to see this?
and could they deny varannty?
it was only slightly oc´ed to 1.3 instead of 1 ghz thera was chainfire installed too
Windows 7 trys to recognice the device when i plug it in per usb but cant find the right driver.
thanks for the ideas

That's strange. When that happened to me it was fine when I charged up the battery.
Unfortunately, considering the fact that you can't even get into bootloader and that windows cant recognize your device I'd say you are pretty much bricked.
Do you get the splashscreen atleast? the one with the white HTC logo?
Are your volume keys working fine? I mean were they working fine before this happened?
Well I'm pretty sure that if they can't get to the bootloader, they have no way of knowing it was S-OFF. So they can't deny warranty in that case.
On the other hand, if the issue that caused this problem was indeed an issue that could've come only after someone S-OFF's then they might just deny it.
But I'm pretty sure you can fool them by maintaining that you don't know anything about how it happened.

Nope. Wont work. The computer has to recognize it atleast. In anycase, adb works only after the mobile boots past the splashscreen. And I think he might have already be knowing about adb since he's flashing ROM's.

thats the point ther is no splash screen at all. i think this is a great myth the comunity cant solve by now. i read this a bunch of times many post to the 3 vibrations on boot or 7 vibrations ther is suggested that the mainboard passed out but what coused this if so?
otherwise i saw post on peaople were able to fix this bug and therfore could be no mainboeard failure be possible right?
i still try to figure that out gonna make a pol thread in DHD general because i have some suspissions to this and i want to see if this checks out.
thanks anyway

You never stated what happened to get your device in the state it is and i'm just assuming you did something to brick it, so here
So firstly you need to get the drivers for your device installed.
my advice download WinDroid Universal HTC Toolkit v1.1. It will allow you to easily know if your pc is recognising your device.
Once that is done you need to get your device changed sufficiently.
Go to http://www.hackmyandroid.com/comprehensive-guide-on-unbricking-the-htc-one-x/4216 and follow the instructions.
Charge HTC One X in Fastboot Mode section from the link should help you charge your device
With the ADB folder where it should be on your computer C drive and your device plugged in and recognized, charging shouldn't be a issue
this should cause your device to restart repeatedly until it reaches about 10% battery
I advice once you have completed the charging of your device to the 10% mark that you continue on to the Unbrick the HTC One X as well as the Restoring the nandroid backup sections. You can always install a custom rom like CM11 or a sense based rom instead of doing restoring a nandroid backup
Hopefully your device will be up and running
Goodluck and let me know how it went.

"Recovery Mode" for "Clear Cache", etc.

Has anyone figured out yet how we're going to get into "Recovery Mode" now with the "Bixby Button" missing? I used to "Clear Cache" weekly and thought of it this morning... don't dare experiment and "Brick" a brand new phone - hoping someone with insider info had some data on the subject? Thanks in advance!!!

Power off phone wait few seconds hold both power and up value button same time for 10 seconds. Bam your in recovery mode. Worked for me N20U1 Unlock Snapedagon chip.
Hello guys
Im in the same situation, i cannot boot anymore in the stock Recovery mode.
I booted one before, then i changed CSC with Samkey and i flashed lastest unbranded firmware with Odin. All the processes were successful without problems but the combination Volume Up + Power doesn't work anymore, i tried every combinations.
After booted up normally despite holding the Recovery combination keys, in the homescreen a grey pop up say to me: [PDP] Back-up file detected.
My Note is an SM-N986N - Snapdragon
Any suggest ?
Thanks
You must connect to pc with usb cable and then try
Same here! HK version N9860
Haven't test on it via USB to PC
after update to android 11, the phone must connect usb-C to either pc or ear phone, then power n vol up.
I confirm last statement. I've updated to Android 11 and spent more than 20 minutes trying to go to both recovery and download mode. Only way i managed with by plugging in my earphones... thank you seanmcs
Didn't work for me in first place. holding power (bixby) + volume up just restarted my device. i connected the phone with PC and tried same thing and it worked.
I am using note 20 Ultra (Exynos version) with One UI 3.0
