How do you get out of bootloop or even getting stuck on HTC logo

I have see that HTC has made it real easy for us to mess up and brick our phone. My question is when you get a bootloop or get stuck in a HTC logo, how do you get out of it now becuz we wouldn't be able to take out the battery ..... How do we get out of it?

Hold down power, the 3keys will flash for some time. As soon as the screen goes of, hold down vol - for some time until you get to hboot. Its tough at first, but you'll get it.

well i tried everything from there but when i try to flash it says the device must be rooted first

I assume you flashed nova kernel on an ics rom to get this?
You obviously had cwm and unlocked bootloader before hand then yea?

yes i did, i didnt read everything carefully

So if you hard power off with volume up and power button held down do u get the 3 vibrations after a few seconds? (may take 5-10 seconds, just keep holding)

Download a jellybean custom Rom, flash nova kernel, flash the jellybean rom, factory reset, wipe dalvik cache and then reboot.

yes it does and i have one but its .zip file and i dont know how to flash .zip files without recovery
sorry again im such a noob

But once hard power off. If you turn back on. Nova boot will start yes? And then keep hitting the volume up repeatedly and it'll enter twrp recovery?
Sent from my Android 4.2.2 Xperia S

If u really want to just boot up your phone, and if u know that the zip file (Rom) in the sd card is an ics Rom, why dont u flash an ics kernel maybe using fastboot?

i already tried that but everytime it says phone must be rooted first

So you'd have to hard power off again and fastboot advanced stock kernel i should think. Like said above

Maybe do what Ben says...
Flash advanced stock kernel. Should help.

My xperia s just wont start anymore
hi, i need immediate help. my xperia s is completely dead and i have tried everything including hard reset, taking sim out and charging etc. i only remember that the battery was low and it must have turned off during the night when i slept. next morning when i tried charging it, the red light appeared and then disappears. this is all that happens. i cant turn it on at all. it does not seem to charge either as it does not warm up. i have charged it for 2 days now and still cant start it. my charger is fine just to let u know.
please help.

Uhm is it possible to plug from your pc in the usb in your phone and with the volume Up, if its right you het a green Light, install then Emma (its a official sony flash program) and try than to flash your phone back to stock rom

What version of ROM are you using?
Possible Fixes.
(50% Charge is called Factory Charging)
On a working phone there are different stages of a battery's charging cycle.
The stages are listed in order they happen.
The cycle goes from a completely dead battery through a phone running on battery and back to a completely dead battery.
1. Dead battery. No response from the power button, no screen and no led.
2. Connect to charger
3. Low battery level charging mode.
This is when just the RED led is on and no screen.
At this stage the battery's charge is to low to turn the phone on, but it is charging.
4. Kernel controlled off-line charging mode.
This is when the battery has charged enough from step (3) and boots the kernel to charge the battery.
5. The phone is off, but could be turned on using the power button.
A quick press of the power button will show this battery icon. Icon will fill with charge.
The kernel also controls charging when the phone is on.
6. Battery is fully charged.
7. Unplug the phone and turn on.
8. Battery is dead or discharges quickly from normal use. Repeat stages starting at (1)

What happened before this?
Did someone try doing something like down grading?
Your symptoms sound like someone tried to flash a froyo ruu on a device that had gingerbread on it which means your bootloader is possibly messed.

the 1 post is the original and current problem..

Is your bootloader unlocked? Is it S-Off? Did you flash a custom ROM? Did you wipe /system? What exactly did you do to get it into that state?

Im not really sure if the bootloader is unlocked since I didnt use this phone before, but pressing power button + vol- doesnt do anything, my friend who is the owner said that the phone was rooted he wiped everything in the system options, after that the phone did not start anymore and got the problems mentioned before

He might of formated something for the phone to boot up properly, tryed flashing ruu or ADB(ANDROID DEVICE BRIDGE)

Stuck on loading screen :(

Hi... I have been using CyanogenMod for at while.. And it has been running great...
Then yesterday my phone started acting up, so i restarted it....
Not it gets stuck on the CyanogenMod startup screen when i turn it on...
And I can not enter bootloader, I have removed the battery, and then powered it on while holding volume down down, like I normaly do...
But i just end up on that CyanogenMod loading screen no matter what i try...
Is there another way to force it into bootloader or to force flash a new rom? (The rom i am currently on has been working fine for over a month, untill this happend)
I really hope someone has an idea... Please do ask if you need more info from me
Best Regards.

Hold your volume down before holding power button at the same time. Wait until it went into bootloader. If it is not, most probably your hardware keys is broken.

Hi... Thanks for your answer...
But that is how I have been doing it all the time...
Is there anything I can do? No way to force it into bootloader from the PC or anything?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Looks like my volume down has broken last night
I was able to boot into bootloader using adb on the PC... So this thread can be closed

[Q] M8 Dead/Bricked/Don't Know !!

Hi All,
One of my friend got M8 and one fine day phone went to bootloop automatically and then he rebooted the phone into bootloader and did a sideload of custom rom/may be stock back (he don't know actually) but he said he flashed TWRP. Now after flasing the ROM the phone never started.
Issue is now the computer also did't recognise the device. If I plugin into the wall charges sometimes orange LED glows and sometime not.
It also not booting/ Not going to bootloader. Please help me to fix the phone as it's a imported version from US and indian service center will not help this.
Many thanks in advance,
Mahesh

Did you try volume UP and power until the 3 soft keys stop flashing? That is the equivalent of a battery pull. After the soft keys stop flashing then try to boot to recovery or bootloader. I haven't used ADB Sideload, but I would try using the microSD card to flash a new ROM.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

i suppose you tried volume up and power together?

Yeah you'll have to get an SD card and then put a ROM on the SD card with an adapter from your computer...hold down both volume keys and power button for 10 seconds and then hold down vol down and power right after and go to recovery, wipe and flash

Odd how it starts bootlooping so you automatically install TWRP and flash a rom and don't think 'why was it bootlooping in the first place?'. Now you voided the warranty

Sorry bud. It's bricked.

Did he tried htc one m8 toolkit? It has options to push to the device command to reboot, or enter recovery.

It just uses adb, which will not work in his phone in this state. Toolkits are never a good idea for troubleshooting.

Just one question, are you having a bootloop or the device wont power on at all? Do you feel any vibration while holding Power+VolDown?
Did you unlock your bootloader before this happened? If you didnt, you can still return it...

It's not powering up at all. No vibrations. As its a Developer edition so bootloader was factory unlocked.
