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?

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..
I have never had a phone with non-removable battery .
sometimes a custom rom is stuck before boot and we need to remove the battery for a restart.
I was wondering with this phone what will happen if it is stuck in boot logo or ... ?!
-Hold power button+Vol Down for Bootloader..
or
-Hold power button for about 5 secs for restart..
HTC decided to change things for the M8.
Hard reset is now power button + vol up for 10 seconds
Bootloader is still power button + vol down (after rebooting / powering up from Off)

Power and vol up for 10 seconds. When the screen turns off,switch to vol down while still holding power
Or,uncheck fastboot,power off. Power on holding vol down.
Or,an app like quickboot
Or,the advance power menu of some custom roms

I was flashing a new rom yesterday. But during flashing, the recovery 'hang'ed. I pressed the power button for a few seconds, it restarts to the htc quietly brilliant screen. Now I can't access bootloader or recovery using Power + Vol buttons. Please help

Turn off the phone completely press power button for about 10-15 sec then try with 1. volume down and then press power button no way to not go in bootloader. The hangs on the recovery can't broke your phone.

After half an hour, now I can go into bootloader! What to do next ?
Edit: I flashed a new recovery. Flashed a new rom. Now all is back to normal. Thanks for your help.:good:
I was excited to wait a new ROM since in a couple of days ago, when I turn on my phone the HTC white screen is stuck when I attempted to install the new ROM (4.2.2). Even pressing the power button, volume buttons and bottom slides won't work.
Is there a chance to repair my phone?

Hold down power+vol up until the phone reboots.
AS SOON AS THE SCREEN GOES BLACK switch from vol up to vol down. That will take you to bootloader, where you will be able to enter recovery from. (select hboot for the recovery option)

unfortunately when I hold down power+vol down it will turn off without any attention !
but I find the solution ! I drained the battery then connected it to the charger. When the screen is showing the battery charge progress image I held down power+vol down and the bootloader appeared !
Thanks @xunholyx :good: :laugh:

That's because you didn't hold power + vol up first. That forces a reboot. The power + vol down for bootloader only works when the phone is off.
When you force the reboot, you can get to bootloader by switching to vol up immediately, so that the phone doesn't have time to get to the boot up stage.

I held P+U first , the white screen appeared including "htc logo in center" and "red warning sentence for using outside of HTC in bottom of the screen" . it took time only 3 second and after the phone immediately turned off. I held down P+VD whenever at those 3 sec (before,after, middle,start,end and whenever) but it never take me to bootloader .

Then you did it wrong.
It could take up to 20 seconds to force a reboot with power + vol up. What I said to do always works while your phone is still powered up.
If it is off, then just hold power + vol down.
If it booted to the startup screen right away with P+U, then your phone was probably already powered off.

yeah , my first post indicates the phone is always powered off and I can't turn it on unless I hold down P+U . It means that the phone already powered off . I blame me for my poor English , excuse me for confusing sentences . I knew I am not clear ...

Power + vol up + vol down is a battery recalibration, which did the trick in this case.
Force a reboot is power+vol up. You may need to hold those buttons for a minute or so. Folks often don't realize this (don't hold the buttons long enough) and think it doesn't work.
