Hold power button pressed until it will turn off.
Hold volume down while you turn on your hOV to start the bootloader and choose the recovery.
Edit: and please make sure you have flashed the right kernel before trying to boot the system

I pressed the power button for some seconds and it powered off. Power button has been unresponsive lately so I had to press it a million times before it closed. Flashed right kernel and it worked

Indeed, hOV power button is really very sensitive, sometimes you have to press two million times to make it work... That's because s2w is absolutely required for this device...

I don't think so. My HTC One V hasn't got ANY issues. Like PWR problem. I turned off s2w because it uses battery and I'm not using it
(And before I rooted it it has 1,5Ghz)

I am not able to access download or recovery mode. When I hold down power+vol down it restarts the boot, when I hole vol down and up+power it restarts the boot.

hold vol down+up+power, after your phone vibrates release the power button while still holding vol down+up.. keep holding them until you are in recovery.. it took me several tries to figure out the exact timing of when to release the power button I use the vibration as an indicator of when to let go and it works every time.. if your phone for some reason does not vibrate for some reason then try releasing the power button after about 3 or 4 seconds..
if you choose to try a skyrocket port again i suggest using darkside superwipe first.. I had the same problem as you but it works fine now

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?

As soon as it powers off hold vol down as it boots

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 was attempting to install Venom Rom on my rooted and s-off m8 and while going through installation menus, I pressed aroma file explorer by accident when I meant to hit back.
The phone locked up right away.
I tried holding the power button for over two minutes, but the screen stays lit and completely unresponsive.
What can I do? I started with a full battery, how long will it take to turn the device off through battery drain?
I am using the latest twrp recovery and was already running the venom rom though I doubt that is relevant.
Switch the light on in your room then try again.
You need to press power and vol up and hold until it restarts. Can take some time, but it will eventually.

Hold down the power botton +vol. up for about 20 seconds. When the screen goes black switch holding vol. up to holding in vol. down.
You should boot into fastboot.

If you're not on 4.4.4 firmware you should update to it. It's already a well known fact that running ROMs with out dated firmware WILL result in excessively long bootup times(10mins + ) .

Who said anything about holding the up and down button.
Press volume UP and Power for 10seconds, once the screen goes dark immediately press Volume Down to go into bootloader.

Then just try it again.
Did it actually start up again or just shut itself off? if so you can still just press Volume Down + Power to get into bootloader.

Once it reboots you won't really be able to get in, well I couldn't when I tried. As soon as the screen goes dark you should immediately have the volume down key pressed, I'm talking about a second at most in between.
If the phone is completely off it's easy enough to just hold volume down and power for a couple of seconds until it goes into bootloader. When you do the hard reset you have to hold the power button and slide down to volume down quickly before it boots up.
You didn't still have fastboot checked in the settings did you?

OH SH*T! I still have mine checked. It doesn't work any more for me (normal boot times), but I haven't been unchecking it when messing with stuff because I'm not realizing/ forgetting that it is on.
I should probably fix that before I get myself into trouble.:good:

Well another method to try that worked for me when my device hung up, connect to PC, and use adb reboot bootloader to have it rebooted into bootloader.

I'm just curious, was your phone fully charged when you were flashing the ROM? It sounds like a battery problem, but I could be wrong.
Always make sure you have lots of battery before flashing anything. The way it won't stay on is really weird. You could try the ROM's forum. Maybe you might find an answer there. Sorry.

Where did you download the ROM from? You can probably figure it out by reading your original post.

Tighten two volume buttons and the power button when you see a black screen and holding down the volume- and power button that would go to bootloader,in the bootloader,to select reboot.
