Whats happened is my phone was running abit slow earlier and the volume keys were not working with the music player so i decided to restart it. Now whenever i boot the phone up it boots straight into bootloader and it doesnt respond to both volume keys and the power button. The only way i can switch it off is by removing the battery.
I have tried booting the phone into recovery using adb, and i get the error device not found. Ive also tried booting it and holding the power button down but it still again boots into bootloader.
I seriously need to fix the phone as its got info stored thats important, so whoever gives steps that bring the phone back to life, Ill be donating money to them.
Thanks
You can't use adb but fastboot.
try to find some tuto on google. You can flash all with fastboot.
Sorry I'm not familiar enough to help more, just an idea.
If can boot fastboot can try to install a new recovery image

If its going straight to hboot with no help from you(ie not pressing button combo) the your volume key is probably stuck. Take off the battery cover and GENTLY try to loosen the volume rocker to get it unstuck
Do you have CWM?

I think your phone volume switch press continuous. So its starts bootloader every time. Real Solution to repair your phone (Maybe it's liguid demage maybe main flex)

Hello,
I recently got a brand new DHD from T Mobile UK. Naturally, I wanted to get rid of the bloatware that came with it. To cut the long story short, I tried to install the cyanogenmod software and ended up bricking my phone. At first it would not get past the cyanogenmod start up screen (spinning smoke thing). Now it will not boot past the T Mobile logo.
I am desperate and any solution to give me back ANY funstionality of the phone would e great.
Kind Regards.

Can you get into the bootloader? Try turning it off, then holding the power button and volume down - I think the easiest method is to hold volume down, press the power button for a few seconds (still holding volume), then let the power button go and after that the volume button. Seems to get me into the bootloader reliably.
If you can get into the bootloader, you should be able to flash back to the stock rom by placing a file on the SD card - not certain of the exact method there but someone will know
I wouldn't worry too much unless you were flashing the bootloader (hboot) to get s-off - as I understand it, the only real way to brick these devices is if you corrupt the bootloader.
What exactly did you do? I agree with the previous poster that you probably did not brick your phone you just need to get into the bootloader and flash a backup, if you made one. Also what ClockworkMod Recovery are you using. I know that if you flashed with 3.xxx you will need to flash an older version of CWM something like 2.xxx
If you give us more info we could prob help more

Also try taking the battery out first.

If you have cwm / rom manager install to your phone just turn off your phone and charge it now you are in recovery state you can flash rom again or restore backups

Hi, have just flashed a new radio and RIL using CWM recovery and phone has somehow put itself into SAFE MODE . Does anyone have any idea how to get it back out of this? Have rebooted, pulled battery and tried googling for a solution but not having any luck.
have you tried to boot recovery? switch off hold vol down and power. if that doesn't work then try flashing an RUU.Sounds like it may be bricked.
Good luck

After a couple of hours of trying it finally came back to normal after about the tenth reboot. Didnt realise the HD had a safe mode and no idea how I managed to put it into it but its all good now thankfully . Phone still operates as normal when in safe mode but only allows certain apps to operate and shows a little transparent box on bottom left corner of screen with SAFE MODE always showing.
Wish I knew some more info on it if it happens again
I think you get into safe mode by holding the Volume Down button while powering on. Is it possible that you accidentally pressed Volume Down while booting?
For record I couldn't get into safe mode on my phone, but I'm not sure if CM7 supports it or not.
I dont think I did, last button I pushed was power to reboot system back out of CWM after flashing a new RIL. If I had pushed volume down surely that would have taken me into the phones recovery but it booted up as normal and showed me the onscreen SAFE MODE symbol. Hopefully doesnt happen again because there isnt much info on getting rid of it
My previous post is not so clear. I meant pressing Volume Down after the phone starts to power on, not at the same time as pressing Power. Anyway it sounds like you didn't do that...

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 have unlocked my bootloader then install the recovery.
And I am flashing a ROM ,but as I came from Atrix the step was to flash from recovery
I didn't read the instruction and flash the ROM through recovery without flashing boot.img first
Now, I can't boot to my ROM (It stuck at HTC quietly brilliant screen)
So, I reboot it and try to enter fastboot ,but not either. I can't get to fastboot. pressing volume down and power
Then, I was unable to turn it off. I disassemble and take the battery out. and charge it for an hour now. But, still no luck can't get to fastboot.
Anyone can help me.
I am so dumb if I have read the instruction, I wouldn't brick.
I don't know what pure doing wrong, but holding down power and volume down will get you to hboot. From there you can go to fastboot and then flash the boot.img.
Not even hboot too. press volume - and power doesn't do anything for me. or do they need more battery?
Then you're doing it wrong or your buttons are broken.
Keep hold of volume even after it reboots. Don't let go until you're in hboot.
When I first installed custom ROM I made the same mistake and didn't flash boot.img separately, causing the device to just hang at HTC screen you described, or being in a constant bootloop. However I was able to get into bootloader and sort things out. I know it's something basic, but are you making sure you hold that volume down + power button long enough?
Oh GOD! I got it! It boot into hboot and I can fastboot now. I think the button are hard to press so, I can't press it correctly the first time. THANKS
Hello everyone! So I've had my phone (HTC One M8) rooted and custom recovery and rom installed for a little while now. The latest rom I've installed was Android Revolution HD 22.1. I also have twrp 2.8.1.0 installed. The other day my phone got wet and started to constantly reboot itself, wouldn't shut off and stay off, would never actually start. I put it in a cup of rice for 2 days, then proceeded to plug it in to charge it. Once charged enough I tried to turn it on. It only made it the HTC One logo screen and would vibrate every 10 seconds or so. I tried rebooting several times and no matter what I did with different button combinations I could not get it to load into bootloader. Eventually with restarting different ways and "mechanically stressing" the phone (short temper lol) I managed to get it to loading into the rom itself. From there I opened hasoons all in one toolkit to reboot directly into recovery and recovered to the stock rom. So the phone will now reboot with no problem into this rom. I haven't tried reflashing the ARHD 22.1 rom again because im afraid it'll break again. However, while in the stock rom everything work fines except for the volume up button which does nothing, except for while the screen is off, if I turn my phone to landscape the camera app will open without me even pressing the volume up button. If I reboot into bootloader via the quickboot app or hasoons toolkit, my volume down button with make the cursor go up, the volume up button does nothing, and the power button does nothing. The only thing I can do in bootloader is to hold power+volume up to get the phone to reboot. I also cannot get bootloader to load by holding volume down+power. So, After all that explaining, my main question would be, do you think that the buttons are shorting in a weird way because of water damage, or do you think my software got corrupted because of all the rebooting it did? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

UPDATE: my power button will now lock my phone but not unlock it.
