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.

i flashed to ARHD. and i use 4ext cus my volume aint working and use rommanager to get into recovery.
still got stuck after loads of times trying holding power and volume down.
Would it be possible to make an .exe program that can be run from a pc as to make the cell boot into recovery? Would be interesting.

yeah this would be interesting.
ok i got into recover mode, after millions power + volume down.
had to get the volume buttons out, see this youtube vid ( search for "HTC Desire HD Disassembly Video") at 2:27.
its the hardware thats not working, i cleaned, blowed the dirt away. volume down wont work.
just hope when i use other roms it wont get stuck anymore. i always use rom manager to get back to recovery.
would be nice if theres anoter way to get into recovery without using hardwarebuttons.
here some info to get the volume keys out
asthon-gangrel said:
try these:
open battery lid.
carefully rise the manufacturer sticker and you can gain acces to the volume sensors.
pull from one side carefully here is a coaxila atached to the motherboard
you can see if the volume button is broken or only get loose from the frame
or merelly dirty, blow air from your lounges or compressed air spray
these could work

So, I rooted my Wildfire S and and was trying to flash some custom ROM's. While I was installing it froze and I turned it off by taking the battery off. Then when I turned it on it would only Vibrate 3 times, also the screen wouldn't turn on. I'm not sure what to do! Please help
Questions in q&a please. Check my unbrick tutorial for how to fix it
This is nit bricked. Boot to recovery, wipe partitions, restore.

Alright, I downloaded the PG76IMG, I put that on my SD Card. Then, I pressed VOL DWN + Power all it did was Vibrate 3 times like before...
Try again.
I'd like to remind you that this does not work for everyone.

It all started when I was having trouble downloading an app of the play store, looked online to see what needed to be done so cleared the cache and data of the store and its services; rebooted the phone and now it's...stuck (in limbo or purgatory) on the xiaomi.com logo. I'm using a rooted htc desire, what's the problem?
Your phone is not bricked.

First of all, that's my signature and here I removed it for you.
Secondly, take out your battery wait a min or so, then try going to recovery or download mode. If you can't access any of them then only the company could help.

For recovery first turn off your phone (i.e. take out the batterie, wait some secs and reinsert).
Push the vol-down button an hold ist. Then power on the phone.
Now you should be in recovery.
Hope this helps.

bootloader
Sent from my HTC Desire
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!
Regards.
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
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

And it won't power on in any way?

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.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
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.
