Hey guys im a newbie to all of this and i decided to flash my first phone with cm10. I followed all the steps i was supposed to (i think, i had looked at alot of posts). First of all i ended up in a loop of the cm10 screen, i saw it might be due to a low battery so i turned off until full and then proceeded to wipe it and try again. Now i am in a endless loop of the htc screen. the white one when the phone first turns on. i have tried to power off from the button and also through fastboot>power down. Both turn the phone off only for it to restart again and get stuck on the page. I am in a endless loop, if somebody would be kind enough to help me i would be in their debt! Thanks guys.
Is your hboot higher or equal to 1.28?

Yeah. You need to flash the linked boot.img in order to boot.

ok thank you. how do i get around it restarting all of the time so it doesnt charge properly?
Hold the volume down button and the power button together until you are in the bootloader.....don't let go of the buttons , not even when the phone reboots....

That did work when i had the cyanogen mod page, but now that it gets stuck on the htc splash page it just constantly turns on if i turn off, whether it be on the fastboot page or using the power off button on the phone.
any ideas with the constant loop? also i saw somewhere that i may need to get a different hboot for it to work with the new dailies?
Your hboot is compatible with cm10.1. When you flash cm10 you need the boot.img linked above.

Ok thanks just to confirm, charge my phone. then ill put it into fastboot, go to cmd, Fastboot erase cache, Fastboot flash boot modded-boot.img, then i go to clockwork and boot the daily i downloaded?
Ok ive managed to install it now, thank you guys! i have a issue though. every couple of seconds it says Unfortunatley Android keyboard (AOSP) has stopped, do i need to specify a new keyboard?
Did you flash Gapps? Did you full wipe before flashing rom?

I just flashed a arhd rom a kernel and InfinitySound mod and then my phone was stuck in the htc quietly brilliant screen...
The main thing is i can't even enter the bootloader with "vol+power down" help please...
Keep pressing the power button for more then 5 second and you will see the 3 buttons blinking. After that phone will restart and then press volume down to enter in hboot.
Then look on xda a tool with witch you will flash a stock kernel.
Perhaps this is the solution for you

i tried it, but no luck... it still boots into the htc quietly brilliant screen.
Hold the power button to force a reboot. As soon as your HOX powers off press and hold vol down, keep holding until you enter hboot. It might take a few attempts
First boot can take awial I don't think your stuck its just loading

It's stuck not loading because I have waited 10 hours already. Also, I keep trying to get it into boot loader , but to no avail... tried 30 times already...
Without getting into the bootloader, there's nothing I can do...

Does your phone keeps rebooting?
If so, it sounds like you haven't flashed the correct boot.IMG
You need to flash the correct boot.IMG that is for the kernel you flashed.
-----
As for boot loader, why don't you just use the adb command?
adb reboot bootloader
As for the button combination not working, you need to hold both power & volume down at the 'exact same time', and don't release them until your boot loader screen shows - even if it does an extra reboot, keep them held!

I am having the same problem, and i forgot to backup my previous rom. I rooted, and unlocked my phone, then i tried to install the rom, it installed. however now it just stays in the spinning loading sign for CM10. Is there anyway of putting another rom on the >fake, ie internal> sd card, which cant get removed from the acctual phone? so then i can install that rom? i have tried reinstalling the rom but that didnt work

If you have cwm 5.8.4.0 you can mount the sd card as usb drive.
Don't forget to flash the boot.img that goes with the ROM.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You are probably forgetting to flash boot.img using fastboot from your pc, from your description. After flashing boot.img, issue a
Fastboot erase cache
Or you will most likely get bootloops.
I had me phone sitting beside me. I had just turned off the screen. Then it randomly started bootlooping. I can get into the recovery screen ( Fboot, Hboot, Recovery, Etc... ) I think it might be the power button some how?? It doesn't boot loop until I turn on the phone. I've tried different batteries. Got any ideas??

Have you tried installing a new recovery? I recommend downloading SmelkusMod Recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661543. Download a zip version such as PC36IMG_ra-supersonic-4.3-smelkus-aokp.zip to your computer, rename the file to PC36IMG.zip (watch out for Windows hidden extensions), copy PC36IMG.zip to the root folder of your EVO 4G's sdcard, and power the phone off. Then simultaneously press and hold the volume down and power buttons until the bootloader starts, allow the bootloader to scan for updates, and press volume up to confirm that you want to install the updated recovery.
I have htc One x, and i dont know which version it is, no details at all about anything regarding it. My brother got it from someone and screwed up in flashing.

No need to pay first try to hold the volume down button and then hold power button untill you go in bootloader after this connect the phone to a computer if your battery is empty the best way is to connect battery pack on the back side pins and try then go in bootloader but if your battery iss complete dead no solution you must to charge ytour phone but this can be done from bootloader with the bat file
EDIT: Next time when you are in trouble ask before discharge the phone
Have you flashed boot.img?

Hi disaster Again
the above problem i mentioned was solved, i could get my laptop to recognise the phone in ADB and i just had to enter the command adb reboot bootloader.
but now i have even bigger problem. i was running ARHD and everything was going fine unless i decided to upgrade to miui based on 4.4.4
so i went into fastboot by typing adb reboot bootloader and then flashed the boot.img of miui rom, then i pressed power down in fastboot thinking i'll connect and then go into recovery and then flash the zip of the rom
but now i cant get into either recovery or fastboot(bootloader) and neither my phone is recognised in adb.
please guys help me out.
Have you read this and followed all steps exactly?
Can you enter bootloader holding vol down and power button?
Do you have recovery on device?
See i cannot go into bootloader or recovery anyhow, yes i had recovery on my device by which i flashed the ARHD
i Flashed the boot image for the MIUI bases on 4.4.4 but now it doesnt boot up, neither i can nacces bootloader nor it is recognised by ADB

Hi there,
So recently I just tried rooting my HTC One M8, with the All-In-One tool kit. It was successful, I was messing around with it for a while, removing bloat wear, ect. Then I figured out about custom roms, and heard about CyanMod11. It turns out that it couldn't read my sim card for whatever reason, but it still worked and loaded up. Then, I tried Android Revolution. THAT one worked flawlessly, besides the fact that I couldn't take screen shots for whatever reason. I should of just left it there. Here's where things go wrong. Then, I tried ViperOneM8. After that, it failed to load up and is now in a endless boot loop. I can't get into fast boot either. However, one time I somehow did manage to get into fast boot, but I didn't see the "recovery" option anymore. So... I'm out of ideas here. I'm really worried I bricked my device for good. My device powers on and everything, it just won't load up any OS, and I can't get into fastboot/recovery. Why I'm mainly worried is I failed to create a back up also. I'm running out of ideas here, and if ANYONE could help me that would be great.

first you posted in the wrong forum this goes in Q&A
second what do you mean it won't go into fastboot / recovery ? what happens when your in the bootloader ?
I need the results of fastboot getvar all to determine what files you need to fix your phone ( not you serial no. or IMEI)
most likely your on an older firmware and you have s-on and the Rom you flashed requires s-off and the latest firmware
Gah sorry, I find this forum layout kind of confusing. So this is another problem. I cannot access "getvar", it just says device offline, and I close that command prompt and then the next one just says "please wait," and nothing happens.
What I mean by it won't go into fast boot, is when I hit power + volume down it won't load anything. Here's a pic I found off Google, I can't get to this screen here.

Easy way to get into boot loader
Turn on your phone
When it gets into bootloop
Press and hold power+vol up+vol down until screen goes off
As soon as that happens press and hold power+vol down
You'll be in boot loader
And I must say you are a major noob
Navigate to hboot using vol buttons then press power button to select, you'll find recovery
These are just 2 modes hboot and fastboot
From fast boot you can select hboot and vice versa
And also getvar will work ONLY when you're in fastboot mode
Hboot mode is used for accessing recovery

I fixed my HTC One M8! Followed some advice on another thread and I just reflashed my TWRP, then I flashed the ROM again and everything is going smooth now!
Hello,
I installed a custom ROM (ViperOneM8+4.6.1) on my M8, which is the international edition M8QL_UL.
I now suspect this ROM is not compatible, as the phone is stuck in a reboot loop - the white screen with the red text at the bottom appears, and then about 35 seconds later the screen goes blank and it restarts.
I've tried holding the power button down to try and turn it off, but it won't stop restarting.
I've tried holding the volume down + power buttons to enter recovery and it doesn't work.
Adb and fastboot don't work either - the phone isn't on long enough to appear on my PC.
Please let me know if there's anything I can do at this point?
Cheers.

There is no button combo that boots into recovery for this device. I believe you mean the button combo to enter bootloader. Folks will often call this recovery, but bootloader and recovery are 2 completely different things (and this is an important distinction), and folks need to stop thinking they are the same.
Since the phone is bootlooping, just hold the vol down button during the next "loop" and you will enter bootloader.
Once in bootloader, then you can select to boot into custom recovery. Then restore your stock nandroid, if you made one before flashing the custom ROM (and you should always make a nandroid of the stock ROM before flashing a custom ROM).
If you didn't make a stock nandroid, you'll need to use RUU or find a stock nandroid that matches your firmware number.

Fastboot only works in bootloader-fastboot mode; adb only works in OS or recovery. So neither is ever going to work while in a bootloop. Get into bootloader as I've described above (and select fastboot); and you should at least be able to use fastboot.

Thanks for the suggestions and advice - I've got the Pandora Rom back on it now and won't be fiddling anymore I think.
I actually managed to get it sorted by holding vol-up and power for a good 15 seconds based on advice from the M8s thread, just in case any one has the same problem and vol-down doesn't solve it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63177320&postcount=658

Power+vol up reboots the phone. You stated the phone was already in a bootloop, which means it was already rebooting over and over.
Vol down (just vol down, no need to hold power button) during any reboot will put you into bootloader. If it doesn't, its because you didn't hold vol down long enough.
