running CM 10.1.3
Clockworkmod installed.
My Vol. Down is broken, so I cant boot into recovery the normal way.
Any ideas? I need to hard reset asap.
CM has "advanced reboot" built in, enable this feature in Developer Options, hold POWER key, choose Reboot and you'll see the option to reboot into recovery.
If you're not using a touch recovery, you might still have to flash one, in case some actions require both volume keys.

You may have to enable the advanced reboot menu by doing this:
1enable developer options. These used to be in the normal settings screen for the phone but they are hidden now.
1go to about phone
2scroll to the bottom
3find the “build number” field
4click on it seven times and it will turn on developer options.
2go back one level to the main settings screen and you’ll see developer options now. Open that
3Enable advanced reboot options by clicking on the relevant checkbox
4go back to the main settings menu again and then click on “System” under the interface section
5Inside the system menu click on “Power Menu”
6Make sure “reboot menu” is checked.

hi everyone, i received today my phone, it seems to be a korean import unlocked for sims but not rooted.
i had a galsaxy s2 for a few years and know how to root and flash a rom, but problem is, on my htc one m8 there is no option to disable fast boot in the battery menu
i looked everywhere on the phone, it's just not there. i looked on the net and somebody suggested CleanFLASH 1.0 just to start the phone in hboot, but can't manage to find the file anymore, links are dead, any suggestion?
thanks
anybody can help with this? I'm bloody stuck without a rooted phone!!!! thank you

Is your main problem not being able to get into bootloader (I don't see how else the fast boot power option would prevent you from rooting)? Just hold the power button until the options come up, select Restart, then when the screen goes black, immediately (before the white HTC boot screen) hold the power down rocker, and don't let go until hboot appears.
Alternately, hold power and vol up to force a reboot of the phone, then when the screen goes dark, switch to holding the vol down rocker.
Why are you worry so much on "fast boot" ?
You don't necessarily need to press power + volume down to go to hboot/bootloader.
I never disable "fast boot". Just simply restart, wait for the downanimation complete (it turn black screen) then press volume down (no holding power button) ... it will go to hboot.
Or you can plug in your device to PC with USB debugging enabled. Open a command prompt from your adb folder, type command adb reboot bootloader
thank you. i've tried all the above all afternoon, including all the tools available but phone will only either reboot, sometimes in safe mode, or reboot regularly.
I think I know what I'm doing. I need to unlock bootloader to root, but this is not possible. When connecting to pc by usb, and using tools, from comand line, computer screen just hangs and nothing else happens. with another program I can only see a tiny "fast boot...." on the bottom left corner of the screen. I cannot basically unlock the bootloader hence root the device.
another few things i notice you may be able to double check.
trying to reboot in standard recovery, the android buddy comes up on the screen, like dead, with "no command" message. then pressing volume up will take to recovery screens, never seen this before.
And last, but not least, checking the serial number from the menu > about phone > status the serial number comes as
0123456789ABCDEF
I checked with HTC support on chat and they basically gave me the registered serial number for this IMEI and told me of course that it is impossible that it has another number as this cannot be changed.
Question is... Have I got a clone here??
edit: sorry about the data, it was not set the apn, now it works. normally used to have automatically apn from sim card, but it's not the case for this phone/sim
I bet you do have a clone, does the phone has a playstore ? Install some phone specs app and see what it comes up with.

Is your about phone (there is no about phone on real HTC One M8, only "about") looks like these screenshots here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54102512&postcount=7 and here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54102633&postcount=8
Then it is a clone

it looks like that, checking the specs i can see a ARM v7 Processor, rev3 and a screen resolution of 1280 x 720...
Unfortunately, I think your device is a "Clone".
thanks guys, i've haven't been rooting for a couple of years, but really thougt something was wrong, terribly wrong. ok, will check back here when i get a real one, if needed.
I think he was talking about "Fast boot" option in battery settings and not the "Fastboot" everybody is talking about here. Nevermind. And yes, that phone is/was a clone

The subsequent responses by clpv5 and myself understood that he was talking about "Fast boot" in Settings.
The only reason the "old" root guides instructed to turn off "Fast boot" in power settings, is that this mode enabled would prevent you from entering bootloader from a "powered down" conditon (since with the "Fast boot" option enabled, the phone was never actually powered down, just a deep sleep mode).
But as we pointed out, you could always enter bootloader from a reboot, since a reboot is always a true reboot. This would work regardless of whether "Fast boot" was enabled or not in power settings.
Although it should be noted this thread is from July 2014, and the "Fast boot" option was removed some time ago.

Thanks. I was looking for an explanation like that; in fact, somehow that's why I ended up in this thread. Though, it's useful yet, since there must be lots of devices still running the 'Fast boot' option due to certain manufacturer's lack of firmware updates and because not every device in need for support out there is actually a new device

oh man, i thought i was the only one !
i have the same exact phone !
my serial number is exactly 123456789ABCDEF !!!
mine is a chinese mtk htc one m8. after hours of search i figured my phone name is alps_htc one m8 and yes my friend, is a fu..... clone !!!
i tried everything ! and search whole bunch of websites and forums like xda and xda itself, nothing happened !
i also get the => fastboot....... every time i try to go to bootloader !
this is something that you guys who trying to help here had to understand, these clone phones settings is completely different from other phones and even the original one ! hold power button then hold volume up or down, doesn't work !
every time it stock in => fastboot..... none of the buttons of the damn phone works and i have to wait until the battery drain ! real pain in the ass !!! because you know, htc one m8 does not have battery removing option, another pain in the ass !!!!!!!!!
i had a another problem too, when i wipe this clone phone, amazingly, the IMEI was gone !!! the phone said "invalid IMEI" !!! witch after hours of search i flashed it with an app from mobileuncle tools, thank to them amazing app allowed me to flash a custom IMEI from a unused phone.
now i use another htc device from the original manufacturer.
a little piece of advice, do not buy a clone phone ! cause it's going to piss you off !!!
and if you don't know how to recognize a clone from a original phone, its simple, just check the serial number, if it's feel weird, just give back the phone to seller, smile, and run out of the store !
thanks to XDA btw.
I have two K10 phones with T-Mobile and they both have system updates available. The message says "You can download this update over WiFi at any time. Otherwise, it will start downloading automatically between 10:00PM and 5:00 AM." I have WiFi on and connected (100% battery and plugged in) and go back to the Settings->About Phone->Update Center->System Updates page and there is no button or way to start the download and/or install. What am I missing? How do you download and install the update over WiFi? This happens with each update and I can't figure out how to manually start the update.
Thanks for any help!
Go to: Settings > About Phone > Update SW > 'Update of SW'. There you have available the options to manually update, disabling previously the auto-update,

The last screenshot is what you get when you tap on "system update"? If not then try tapping on it, or tap on three dot menu on screen from last screenshot if available or hold recents button if there isn't three dot menu.

Yes - The last screenshot is what I see when I click on "System Update". On either that screen or the one before it, there are no menu options with three dots or when I press and hold the recents button. There are no options to select there. Very strange that I don't have the option to get the download and install there.

I don't get it, they screwed something or we are doing something wrong. At least there should be options tu turn on/off checking for updates and for automatic installation. Try conntacting lg support, but I doubt that will bring any help.
I know...I don't get it either. There should be an option to download and install, but there is not. Alas, I will just let it process overnight but would be nice to know how not to have to wait on this device for the update.
The same thing happened to my girlfriend's K10, she said it automatically downloaded randomly a few days later so... I don't know, the phone is all screwed up.
Hi there
I enabled the developer options but then decided to turn them off again using the slider at the top, the problem however is that this turns off items that were already on when I enabled developer mode, such as 'Automatic system updates' and 'Always prompt when connecting to USB'. Clicking 'Restore default settings' doesn't actually seem to do anything so I'm worried I haven't re-enabled everything that might have already been turned on. I wonder if anyone is able to post screenshots of the developer options at their default state at all, or knows the default values?
Thanks
Cameron
When i open developer options i can see restore to default button. Can you also see this?
