Ever since I went to cm7 nightly, I can't boot into recovery clockwork anymore. Holding volume down plus power does nothing anymore. Yeh I know I can get into it after booting up and going into clockwork but what happens if I can't boot someday and need to get into recovery?
You tried turning off, remove & reinsert the battery, hold volume down first then press power?
why would i remove the battery? Im not gunna take off my defender case each time i wanna do that
Ive done everything else though yes.

Because I asked if you'd tried it, which you haven't.
You thought that maybe the case might be pushing the volume buttons?
took the battery out and held down volume down + power and still nothing.
Is this feature totally turned off in CM7? I dont even see an option to turn on/off fastboot.
Im assuming this issue is the fault of the rom?
Is there another way to boot into the phone and install a rom without holding down volume + power?
EDIT: Did a complete overhaul and everything seems to work now. thx
Can you confirm that the volume keys work while switched on?
my volume keys work at all times

it's defo nothing to do with CM7, the bootloader is a deeper level of software and exists independently to the operating system. do you have adb? maybe you should try the " adb reboot bootloader " command, after you boot into bootloader, remove your battery and see if you can boot back into bootloader normally
Just a thought but have you disabled fast boot? Made that mistake myself and spent 10 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong.
thx guys but i got everything worked out 4 posts up

Sorry but i don't understand
The phone is new, buyed in italy from fastweb, without modify.
If it doesn't power on at all, and you have done nothing to it, then the device is faulty. Go get it exchanged.
Have you charged your phone?
If you have and its still stuck, try taking out the battery for a few minutes, put it back in and power on.
If still stuck, then quickly exchange it.
The phone power on normally. The screen power on but just i see only fastweb logo.
There is a recovery procedure, per avviarlo in modalità di emergenza as HTC Diamond?
Shouldn't you be able to recover it from the boot menu even without using root?
Ehmm

I'm not capable, you can give a guide to follow?
Boot menu is when you hold down the volume down button and press the power button (while the volume down button is still pressed)
Seriously, you might save yourself some headache if you get it replaced if it is still under warranty/contract.
OK!

now I understand!
unfortunately I do not have the bill
OK after boot menu, What I do?
Is there an option to factory reset the phone?
As far as I can understand, you haven't used the phone yet, so you shouldn't be partial to any data on the phone - just wipe.
If that doesn't work... Well, try wiping first.
My phones stuck in bootloader and it doesnt respond to both my volume buttons and my power buttons. Anyone have any idea how i can fix this? Also when it boots up it looks for a file called pd98IMG. Ive tried putting it onto my sd and the phone boots into bootloader and loads the file but it still stays in bootloader.
The phone is also rooted and i was running android revolution
Anyone who has the answer to this gets a reward, most likely to be cash. Thanks
Pull the battery, put it back in and power and - volume down should see you to recovery and just reflash your current rom.
It doesnt boot into recovery when i do that, it just boots into bootloader every time
I think i had the same problem a while back, the trick here is speed As soon as you put the battery back in try and get into recovery.
Take the battery casing off and the battery slightly out, now push the battery back in and press the bottom of the volume slide and quickly hold the power button down for a second, than release the power button still holding the volume down, you should now be in hboot, wait 2 seconds than go to recovery.
thats not working either, you got any other ideas?
Would you have adb?
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1304940&highlight=stuck+in+bootloader
i get error:device not found, how do i get rid of this? :s
Is it still bootlooping? There should be a sweatspot where it works just as the led lights up, simply a matter of timing. Though i would give the battery out hold power and volume down and put battery in approach another go if all else fails.
nope, my laptop doesnt recognize my phone as its in bootloop so therefore i cant really use adb with it or anything,
Just want to make sure, as soon as the phone is powered off, it goes back on by itself automatically? If so take out the battery plug it in put the battery back and try to boot into recovery with charger.
i cant power the phone off using the power button, i have to remove the battery since its stuck in bootloader and the power and volume buttons dont work in bootloader for some weird reason
I'm very new to developing and I was experimenting with the terminal. I typed stop and hit the return key and my phone screen went black. I then performed a battery pull and now my phone will not start. Can somebody give me instructions on what I did and how to fix it? Any help is appreciated
Have you tried booting into HBoot
battery pull, hboot, recovery, restore backup. if that doesnt work then maybe try fastboot? do you know what that command is meant to do?
UPDATE: I held down the power and volume up buttons for about 5 seconds. The device vibrated, but the screen stayed black and now the LED is blinking orange. How do I proceed from here?

I know that the "stop" command followed by an application will stop that application. I don't know what it does without an application after it

Have you tried a different battery? That doesn't seem to be a software issue.
Its the power button and volume down.
if nothing seems to be working then fastboot is probably your best option

Nothing shows up when I try booting into HBoot. I tried power and volume up after and the LED kept blinking until I pulled out the battery

I tried a different battery and the same thing happened. Even before I ran into this problem, when I would hit that button combination this would happen. Does anybody know what power + volume up (not volume down) does?

Did you have some problems with the volume rocker, especially with the vol+ button, recently?
It's the same that would have happened if you held down vol+ and power.
Also, which operation did you stop?
No problems with the volume keys but my phone always did that if I held the power button and the volume up. And I didn't stop any process I just typed in "stop", and hit enter
Hm, I just did exactly what you did.
-Ran "stop" in a root shell
-Display went black
-Pulled the battery
-Booted it up again
Didn't have any problems with it.
As far as I know, the flashing orange light at boot is triggered by the debug mode (vol+ and power, but you can't do anything in it) or a corrupted bootloader.
However, a corrupted bootloader caused by this command is very unlikely, since it doesn't actually do anything to the device's partition table.
Did you do anything to the bootloader or anything related to that before you hit stop? You might have screwed it up in another way, maybe without even knowing since the device will run without a problem, even with a corrupted bootloader. Until you reboot, that is.
Anyway, I'm still guessing that you're just entering the debug mode for whatever reason.
I will try it with a battery that I know is working. The splash screen isn't showing up either so I think the Android OS was corrupted in some way. Also, if I do have a corrupted bootloader, how would I fix that?

By sending it to HTC.
I don't really know if there are any JTAGs for the DHD.
Tried using a battery that I know works. No luck. I tried booting the phone up and booting into HBoot, but nothing happened
So continuing from here...
I don't know what is wrong with my phone. I had cm-11-20140113-primoc-sk installed and tried installing cm-11-20131126-UNOFFICIAL-primoc back after Wiping Data, Cache, and system. I got through all the steps until reboot to flash boot.img. I rebooted and it just turned black. Nothing functioned afterward. I'm not even sure it is off because I can still see a faint backlight on. There are no lights, computer doesn't recognize it, power and volume buttons don't do anything, and I can't access HBoot or recovery. Am I bricked?
I've flashed several ROMs with this phone and this is the first time this has happened. I had more than 50% of battery when doing this.
P.S. the faint backlight is still on.

Hold down the off button for 8-10 seconds and let the device turn off. Now reboot.
You can re enter recovery by holding the down volume button when you turn it back on

I tried that already. I tried almost all button combinations I knew.
Usually if its on and you hold down the off button the soft buttons will flash but nothing is flashing.

That is odd, prehaps your power button is a bit more mashed than mine. I'm guessing the battery has probably run out by now, but could you try adb or fastboot to see if the device is still recognised? From there we might be able to send it reboot commands etc

try charging it to 100% and then press power button as hard as you can to turn it off... if it turns off, then try entering hboot, if not I don't have more ideas

I don't think the power button is mashed up. I know the OneV tends to have a mushy power button but mine is still functioning well. Today when I pressed the power, the red led flashed several times. That means it has low battery right? I'm guessing it is off now? I'm not sure.

So, the battery did indeed run out and I was able to use adb to send a reboot command. It worked and the phone started up again. Thanks for your help, but I have no idea why this happened in the first place

I flashed @Fenny's deodexed m8 stock rom. During the flash the phone rebooted to the splash screen. Now the phone will not turn off when holding the power button. I confirmed the hash sum before flashing. Flashed through TWRP 2.7.0.2. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. I need to know how to turn my phone off (without adb since I'm at work). From there I can get back to recovery and restore the stock ROM.

Try holding the phone close to a light source then try to reboot it. Reboot it holding the Volume down key so it reboots into the bootloader.

Do you know about how long I should hold down the buttons? I have held it under a florescent light that is directly over my desk for a couple of minutes while doing that and it doesn't do anything.

It should happen after about 10 seconds. The reason for light source is because HTC doesn't want the phone to reboot in your pocket, etc ...

Whelp. Holding under the light source seems to do nothing. This is what I was afraid would happen if I bought a phone that didn't have a removable battery. :/ Are there any other methods that might work? I am downloading adb right now.

IDK that's always worked for me. Try holding the power button down harder maybe, I know it sits a little flush and you may not be pressing it down fully.
Great Success!!!
Okay. Finally got it to work. I had to hold volume up + power to get the phone to reboot. When the screen turned black I changed to the volume down while still holding the power button. This booted me to HBOOT. Then I was able to select recovery and boot there just fine. I am now restoring to my stock backup.
@SmiLey497 Thanks so much for your help! Your fast replies and explanation helped a lot! :good:
I think that I now need to go home and change my pants. Lol!
EDIT: Stock backup booted perfectly. No more paperweight.
