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....

[Q]superwipe then restart, now bricked?

I am going to install a new rom, so i superwipe all the things, then when I should choose a new rom to install, I accidentially press the "reboot system". Sign,.....now the phone is bricked? I can't go into the bootloader by pressing the vol down and power.
Even I hold the power button for ten seconds, it just power off and the power on automatically and stay at the htc white screen.
what can i do?
THX.

when i hold power for a few seconds, the virtual buttons blinks for a while, then i immediately press the vol down button, but no use, just the same whilte screen.

No, hold power for 10 seconds to force a reboot. As soon as your phone powers down, press and hold vol down, keep holding and you should enter hboot. It might take a couple of attempts to get it right.

Spot on keep trying we have all been there don't give up you will eventually get into fastboot

How do people not know the basics?? This is simple stuff

Cos they don't read. Although I remember when I first got my desire a couple of years ago, and rooted it, I was crapping myself that I might be killing it, esp as revolutionary and cwm didn't work with the erase size of 40000 I had on mine, (too late, flashed it) oops.. But that didn't stop me reading and searching, all the info is out there people, what ever you do has most likely been done a million times before. (and fixed).

Only assume your phone is bricked if you can't turn it on, or the bootloader gives you a critical error

Well mine won't turn on, battery is dead, and when I'm able to enter bootloader to check battery voltage I'm not able to charge it beyond 3543 volts or something.
Sometimes the bootloader gives weird errore like memory addresses or denied or something.
What can I do then?
The notification led blinks red sometimes, it never stays permanent red. And the sd sometimes fails as well, when I manage to enter recovery (which is not really often)

I have the same issue and cannnot get into fastboot either. I think it has to do with the fastboot option which was enabled... Is there any way to get into fastboot? Or should i give up trying...?

Press and hold the power button. Once the screen goes off press AND HOLD the volume down button and it'll boot into HBOOT. Then press power once to get into FASTBOOT (or select recovery to go into CWM)

Hi, thanks for your reply. The problem actually is I cannot get into HBOOT. I've tried about 50 times, the only thing which displays is the brilliant HTC logo screen. I notice when I hold the powerbutton the softkeys are flashing 6 times before it goes black... When it goes black i'll press and HOLD the VOL DOWN key, but still no hboot

Keep pressing power button+volume down untill it gets into bootloader.
Don't let go at any point.
Just hold them pushed TOGETHER for as long as it takes. You WILL get into bootloader or else I'm afraid something is broken...

Is this problem called as 'bricked'..?? oh..come on..

Only HTC logo shines

I get a HTC One m8 for free but when I turned on the mobile as the HTC logo is lit with red warning (This build id for ...) and nothing happens, then it can not turn off. Mobile should be unlocked with a custom recovery but did not make it further .. any ideas?

Try entering bootloader mode (hold Power + Volume Down). Go to FBOOT and then try entering recovery. If you can enter recovery, and it's TWRP or CWM, then you might be able to flash a custom ROM from external SD.
The previous owner may have tried to do a factory reset, but ended up wiping the system as well.
If that fails, you may be able to flash the proper RUU for your device.

Mobile can not be shut down or get into bootloader mode.

I just have to wait until discharged and then try bootloader mode

That doesn't make sense. You should be able to enter bootloader mode even if there's no OS installed.
Keep us updated.

Buttons can also hold two minutes but nothing happens, I have to wait until it is discharged to turn off because now it can not be turn off

Hold power and vol up, for 30 seconds or more. This will force a reboot. The moment the screen goes dark (signalling its shutdown, and about to reboot) let go of those buttons, then only hold vol down. Don't let go until you see bootloader.
This method works reliably, and failure usually means you either didn't start pressing vol down soon enough, or let go too early. So just repeat the process, until it works.

Nothing worked .. If the mobile on, button did not work .. Only when completely discharged so I could turn it into bootloader and custom recovery and install custom rom, so that already works well.

Can't get into bootloader

When I power on my m8 it gets frozen on htc one screen.
when i press power+volume down it just simply power on
Please help.

Do this:
1) Hold power+vol up for a minute or so, to force a reboot
2) The moment the screen goes dark to reboot (but before the HTC logo screen appears - you actually have about 3 seconds to do this), let go of those buttons, and start holding vol down only. Don't let go until you see bootloader.
3) If you fail to get into bootloader, you probably just got the timing wrong (either started pressing vol down too late, or let go too early). Just repeat steps 1 and 2, until you get it right.

Nothing happens holding power+vol up

The phone is stuck on the HTC logo screen currently, when you try to do it? And you are holding it a minute or more?

I've never seen this fail to work, except with vol rocker broken. Do you have any reason to believe that is the case (vol rock is broken)?

Is there any way to access recovery without starting the phone?

It would have been broken (or was malfunctioning) before. It didn't suddenly break.
If you've never had any problems with the vol rocker, its probably fine.
Try charging the phone for a few hours, then try again. Try the button sequence with the charger attached.
You can also try letting the battery run out. Then after that, charge it and try holding power+vol down.

No. There is no way to do anything, unless you can either boot to OS or bootloader.
You have to keep trying to get to bootloader, one way or another. Its really your only option.
What happens if you just hold power (for a minute or so)?

Jacked up my T800 by forgetting to update my bootloader -- is there any hope?

First off, I'll openly admit I'm an idiot and missed the bit about needing to update the bootloader on my T800 and now my tablet won't do anything other than sit at the Samsung boot screen.
I've tried doing the power button + volume down + home button key sequence but it just reboots. Same thing about switching to volume up after it goes dark. I'm not sure if I just haven't gotten the sequence down properly or if it's just a lost cause at this point. Does anyone have any suggestions?

If you've held the power button, vol down and home button simultaneusly the device should boot to download mode. At that point you would select volume up to enter the mode. Are you sure you are holding these long enough and that the device is not plugged in?
If you are on a 7.x.x. rom then you may be having the same problem as me. If you came from the Samsung 6.0.1 rom then you already have the right boot loader.

Plug in charger and then power button all you need to do is stop the boot loop so you can get it in to the mode you need......

Thanks, stinka318. Right now, it's stuck in the Samsung Galaxy Tab S boot screen and will sit there until the battery runs out. Are you saying plug it into power right now and hit the power button or do I need to let the battery completely die then plug it back in so it's powered off to start with?
Thanks for the help!

If I hold the power button, vol down and home button down simultaneously, it will reboot the device but then go back to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S boot screen. I've tried holding that down until my fingers go numb (how long have you had to hold it down for?). I've also tried letting go of the vol down and moving it to vol up once the screen goes black then releasing the power button when the Samsung screen comes up but that doesn't do anything either. Everything that I've ever tried just ends up showing the Samsung screen. So frustrating!
Thanks for the help!

Yep plug it in now and hit the power button it will show the battery charging icon from that you should be able to do thing you need to recover it.

boot into download mode (was mentioned how to do it on this thread already), go to ODIN, flash the bootloader, boot into twrp, wipe everything (to be safe), and flash your desired rom
