Hi All,
I have an international HTC ONE M8 which I managed to root and s-off without a problem. However since I s-off-ed the phone will not reboot into bootloader.
When I try to power off and reboot with vol-down and power it either reboots or flashes between the battery screen and TWRP, which say swipe to unlock but it flashes too quick for mee to do this. This a strange error I never come across before in the years Ive been flashing and modding devices.
Also ADB no longer sees this phone in fastboot, I can issue fastboot commands but not ADB
Can anyone help

Press and hold power and volume up until phone shuts off. Let go of power and volume up then hold volume down until bootloader comes up -_-

Genius, thanks. I'm too used to my other devices where you simply did the power button down.

You might also try making sure Fastboot in the power menu is off. And ADB won't work in Fastboot mode - you either have to boot into recovery or android for ADB.

Something happened to my M8 so I can't access bootloader anymore. Pressing Power and Vol Up just boots the phone and then the screen goes blank. Pressing Vol Down to get into fastboot doesn't work anymore (it used to up until now). Any clue?

Press and hold the volume down, then at the same time press and hold the power button (both should be held now).
Wait for the screen to go blank.
When the screen goes blank, release the power button, but continue to hold the volume down button.
You should then eventually see the fastboot/hboot menu.
OK, found what the issue was. The problem was that my phone's screen was going blank after the normal boot screen, so I couldn't see when it gets turned off. I was simply pressing the Vol Up + Power for too long, so it would go into full reboot. I just measured the amount of time it was taking to do this (was ~12 seconds). So I pressed Vol Up + Power for ~10 secs, then released those and pressed Vol Down. That finally brought me into Fastboot.
I could have probably gotten the same result by pressing Vol Down + Power, however, the phone screen was blank all the time, so it was difficult to understand when I should have released the Power button to let it go into Fastboot.

Thanks for this post! I've spent a total of 5+ hours trying to get into the bootloader so I could restore a backup after a bad flash soft bricked me.

The red triangle screen is stock recovery. Power + vol up when on the stock recovery, will bring up the recovery menu.
Not sure what you are trying to do. Based on the subject of this thread you decided to post in, are you trying to get into bootloader? Or just trying to get the phone to boot to OS?
If you are trying to get into OS. You can try to wipe cache, and reboot to see if you can reboot back into OS (or factory reset and reboot, if you don't mind losing your personal data). But depending on what is wrong with the phone, you may need to do more to get into OS.

Everytime I do this, hold POWER, then VOL UP till screen goes black, release BOTH, then press POWER and VOL DOWN, then release POWER first time screen flashes, while still holding VOL DOWN, it returns to the OS every time!
Everytime I do this, hold POWER, then VOL UP till screen goes black, release BOTH, then press POWER and VOL DOWN, then release POWER first time screen flashes, while still holding VOL DOWN and then press POWER again, the screen CYCLES between BLACK and the RASTER glow on the LCD. About 3-4 secs of BLACK, then RASTER glow, then repeat. If I let go of POWER, it goes right to the OS again, every time.
Everytime I do this, hold POWER, then VOL UP till screen goes black, release BOTH, then press POWER and VOL DOWN, wait for RASTER glow and continue to press BOTH until first time goes BLACK, then release POWER while still holding VOL DOWN, it goes right to the OS again, every time.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I followed the HTC directions at the DEV site, to change the boot speed, but it wasn't in the BATTERY menu, it was in ACCESSIBILITY and called QUICK BOOT. For units with Android 4.2.x and up, HTC site said to turn on OEM unlocking in Developers menu, but this is 4.4.2 and there is no option in there to do that.
This is a DUAL SIM phone, so I assume that is an international version, also.
Further, when I do try the HTC site method of entering the bootloader menu, (press Volume Down and while pressing Volume Down, press Power holding both buttons to start the device into Bootloader mode (now Download mode for One M9 and newer devices) I get a menu

, but I don't read Chinese/Korean, or whatever language these characters are from, but it works like a TEST or SERVICE menu, as it puts the phone thru all the self-tests of its' various hardware functions. Not much help to me.
This phone has a crashed Android update that never completes every time it starts, but I can't tell what version or from whom. It does not APPEAR to be locked to any carrier as there are no logos on the phone or in the bootup screens. If I can every get it where I can flash it, then I hope to learn WHAT there is to flash it with.
Right now, I just want to get to the bootloader, so I can see if it will talk with the laptop using the apps I downloaded from HTC; Android studio, Java and the Sync Manager. Once all those hurdles have been jumped, if it succeeds and functions properly, and flashing rids it of the nasty malware, xrated crap its' infested with, I'll order a glass to repair it make it my own for a while.
Any help figuring out why I can't make the VERY CLEAR instructions I found in this thread work for me, will be very, very, VERY much appreciated.
Thanks to you all.
There is no "then press POWER and VOL DOWN" in the instruction, after release both power & volume up, press only volume down button.
What device is that ? Definitely not M8 & not M8 dual SIM.
If you still can boot, enable usb debugging in Developer options then run adb devices to see the serial no.
If it come out as weird as 123456789abcdef then it's fake htc.

I was very frustrated by the directions I got from HTC inserted below:
press Volume Down and while pressing Volume Down, press Power holding both buttons to start the device into Bootloader mode (now Download mode for One M9 and newer devices). If you have difficulty, power up normally, go to Settings->Battery and deselect Fast boot. Power down and try again.

Great question!! Unfortunately, the answer may be the solution to at least most of the problem. The next question would be "What implications does that present? Does that make it irreparable and essentially worthless?"

Needless to say, but I already told how I got this. I don't mean to sound like a smartass, but I can't help it. I flashed and modded my first Motorola Droid back in 2012. This ain't my first rodeo, its' just that this phone has been one of the more frustrating broncs I've tried to break lately. If this is a "FAKE" HTC phone, I would not be surprised to learn that. I had not been aware until now that there are fakes.

Yep. Now, what do you recommend? WAIT!
I want you to know that I followed the link to your GUIDE. Very Well done, sir.
I found it remarkably well organized, detail specificity very professionally presented, and written for a layperson without sacrificing the value of educating them with vernacular of the high level technician. I commend you.
With that said, whether ir is while I have the OS up, or from recovery menu ADB function, this is what I get when trying to use ADB on this potentially worthless waste of time:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb start-server
adb server version (31) doesn't match this client (35); killing...
error: protocol fault (couldn't read status): Connection reset by peer
error: could not install *smartsocket* listener: cannot bind to 127.0.0.1:5037: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. (10048)
could not read ok from ADB Server
* failed to start daemon *

AND
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>flashing get_unlock_ability
adb server version (31) doesn't match this client (35); killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: no devices/emulators found
So, with all that, what say you to my question, "Now what?"
My Opinion, if it is a fake, disassemble it to explore the guts,
like a 1st year med-student exploring human anatomy on a
homeless, unidentified cadaver from the Morgue.

Same issue as who? The OP has an issue with the button combo making the phone reboot or flash between battery charge screen and TWRP. Plus, that post is from 2014, so their firmware most likely does not match what you have, even remotely. Another person who posted to this thread. has a dual SIM Chinese version. I doubt either accurately describes your situation.
Do yourself a favor, and don't post "I have the same issue" while giving zero details on your M8 version (CID, MID) whether it is modded (unlocked bootloader, custom recovery, root, s-off, etc.) as well as the current condition: is the phone powered off when you try the button combo, or stuck on a boot screen, etc.
Giving as many details about your device and situation makes it easier for us to help you.
The button combo power+ vol down will only boot to bootloader if the phone is powered down. And you may have to hold the buttons for a minute or more, depending on the current condition of the phone. If this doesn't work, of the phone is in another state (such as stock on boot screen with HTC logo) tell us of this, and we will advise you further.

Does your phone boot into Android OS, or not? If so, I believe there are some market apps you can install to boot to bootloader, that you can try. Or you can do adb reboot bootloader.

lmfao relax. Hold your volume button down, hold the end key down(the button you hang up the phone with) then push the power button.
When your phone boot you should see a gray screen that say serial, plug your device into the computer and serial should change into usb. Then run the rom and there u go

Doesn't that trigger Ramdump mode (well, I don't know what that means, actually)?
All the OP needs is to go to Bootloader Mode to flash a ROM via USB. Bootloader is easily accessed by: Turn off phone, then press/hold Volume Down + Power button.

Sortof. I just tried task29 for the first time a few days ago. I freaked out when I got in the same situation as him, but then read through the thread. There's the option of shutting the phone off, and pressing vol down + power key. I ended up doing vol down + power key + push reset with stylus at the startup screen. Simplest solution for me.
taking off the battery, istnt that simplest?

In the very first posting of the Task29 thread, it says :
When phone boots to "Touch Pro 2" screen (or whatever your splash screen happens to be), I hold down the volume down button while hitting the reset button.

IMO, the smartest thing to do is when Task29 is near 100% (I think it pauses at around 96%), hold down the Volume Down button. That way, when the phone (tries to) reboots, it goes straight to Bootloader.

Hello Everyone
TL;DR Screen doesn't come on at all, battery led only flashes while it is rebooting (More details below), and When plugged in to my windows pc, a bunch of "Local Disk Found" pop up, some of the volumes I can access, most I cannot.
I have searched and searched the internet the past 24 for solutions, and have yet to find one. So imma walk you through what led up to the issue, as well what solutions I have tried.
Yesterday while I was trying to update my rom, I ended up getting stuck in what I thought was a boot loop. I then decided to hard reset my phone and go into recovery in hope to try to reinstall the rom. To my surprise, I could not access the internal sd card in the phone. Data was unmounted in the "Mount" settings and I could not what so ever remount it. After this I tried to side load it, but to no avail.
In response to all my attempts to fix the phone at that point, in frustration, I just said "**** it" and went into factory reset in the bootloader. This is where the hard brick happened. At this point, the screen would not come one, and the battery led was not lit when plugged in. I tried letting my phone charge over night and then, tried the "Battery Recalibrate method". I then tried the "Hold Pwr + Volume up for 10 seconds, then Power + volume Down until you access the bootloader"
After that, I then thought that the firmware was corrupted, so I tried to see if I could push an img to the phone, however fastboot does not see the device. I tried RUU, it does not see the device. I tried the HTC Unbrick method by Dexter that required me to install ubuntu and do some things in terminal, that also did not find the device. And here I am stuck. One thing unique to my situation that I have yet seen reported in the countless threads I have searched, is that when I plug my phone to my pc, a large amount of disk drives are found. Most of them are not accessible, but there are a couple that I can go in and see files for. Windows asks me if I want to format the ones I can't access. When hooked to my pc, I tried the the Power + volume button combinations, the only thing that seems to happen off of this is that my phone seems to reboots, and the battery indicator briefly shows.
Anyways, this is all I can remember. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I don't really think it is a hardware related issue since my phone does somewhat boot. However it seems it can't get to a bootloader what so ever.
Try holding power and vol up for a long time, like a minute or more. Try with and without charger attached, and after sitting on charger overnight.
If the bootloader is intact, the phone is likely not truly bricked (recoverable). And I don't see how you could have damaged hboot by the actions you mentioned.
What is the phone's original CID (carrier version) and are you s-on or s-off?

Verizon is the carrier version, and I am s-off.
Held vol + up for 5 minutes both with and without the charger. One time with the charger into my computer, and another into the wall. When it was in my pc, I can tell its doing nothing but rebooting over and over by the notification sound, and the constant "Found new disk" notifications I got. However still no luck, no screen turns on, no sign of hboot. I'm hoping to have some luck after leaving it on charge overnight and trying again.

So still nothing after leaving it on charge overnight and I held vol + up for about 5 minutes. Things seem grim.
I think the proper thing to do when you discovered internal storage was not mountable, would have been to use the TWRP option to format internal storage (in Advanced Wipe options).
But now I'm baffled as to what happened that would have rendered the phone unable to boot into fastboot mode. Fastboot won't recognize the device if you can't boot into fastboot mode, which leaves use kinda stuck.
So you didn't try to flash anything during the course of all this troubleshooting?
What you did - "Hold Pwr + Volume up for 10 seconds, then Power + volume Down until you access the bootloader" is totally wrong
I used to get this bunch of local disk pop-up and this is how I get out the problem
Connect the device to pc, you can hear notification sound on pc that device is connected. Ignore all those bunch of local disk pop-up
Press & hold both power button & volume up button until you hear another notification sound that device is disconnected from PC (that's the indication that device is restarted)
Release both power & volume up button and quickly press & hold volume down button (only this one button)
This should get you on bootloader

No, nothing was flashed except the original Rom update that got this snowball rolling (Not saying its the roms fault, most likely mine).

This is the one combination I forgot to mention in the op, sorry for that.
But I have tried this, before and after your post, still no luck.
If it worth mentioning, I can just hold power + down and it still reboots over and over. As well as just power. As a matter of fact, all button combinations reboot the phone over and over.

By it constantly connecting and disconnecting from my pc. If that doesn't mean its rebooting, then I guess I'm mistaken.

Well, it might mean that.
If it in fact is rebooting over and over on its won, simply holding the vol down button for a long time, should put you into bootloader (on the next reboot "cycle"). Again, assuming it is in fact rebooting, and that bootloader is intact.
A few months ago I sold my Google Pixel XL on EBay is perfect working condition. The buyer returned the phone after 12 days stating that the phone would not boot. Not sure if she was trying to unlock the bootloader or what. I got the phone back and when I power it on I get the Google splash screen then screen goes dark, then the splash screen again. Not sure if the phone is salvageable or not. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
can you get it into the bootloader?
Sounds like a soft brick. If the padlock is open on the Google screen and you get a message on boot then it's unlocked at which time I'd recommend installing the lastest factory image from Google and then relock if you want to use it stock and unrooted.

More Information
The Google Splash screen is completely white with the Google name in the center. It will come up and then the screen goes black. Then the process repeats.
When trying to get into recovery I get an android lying on his back 16 blue squares in its belly. Below is the information on its screen....
BL: 8996-012001-1711291800

When selecting RECOVERY MODE the phone boots back to the Google splash screen.
When selecting Restart Bootloader the phone boots back the Android laying on its back.
I think this phone may only be good for parts but I am not sure. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Once you.see the dead Android hold the power button in, while holding it in press the volume up button one time, release the power button.
Sideload current firmware from google and that should work and it will also lock bootloader
Isn't his bootloader already locked ? And I'm pretty sure OTA, files don't relock your bootloader, that's something you have to do manually.

I tried this but nothing happens. I think the phone is worthless now unless someone wants it for parts.

His bootloader is locked isn't it, according to the info he shared above ?
If you cannot do anything in recovery with bootloader locked you are probably out of luck.
If your device is on, turn it off.
Press and hold the Volume down button. While holding Volume down, press and hold the Power button until the phone turns on. You'll see the word "Start" with an arrow around it.
Press the Volume down button until you highlight "Recovery mode."
Press the Power button to start recovery mode. You'll see an image of an Android robot with an exclamation mark (you may also see "No command").
Press and hold the Power button. While holding Power, press the Volume up button once. Then release the Power button.
If "Wipe data/factory reset" isn't highlighted, press the Volume down button until it is. Then press the Power button to select it.
Press the Volume down button until you highlight "Yes" (or "Yes - delete all user data"). Then press the Power button to select it.
After the reset is complete, press the Power button to select "Reboot system now."
When you're done, restore your data. Learn how to restore your data on a Pixel phone or on a Nexus device.
Tip: If your device becomes unresponsive, you can restart it by holding down the Power button for several seconds.

One of the reasons I tell everyone to always unlock their bootloader and keep it unlocked. There's honestly no down side to it, and it prevents things like this from happening. I'm sorry the OP is in this situation, truly sucks.
Unable to boot into recovery or Download mode on Samsung Note10 Plus SM-N975F Exynos version. I usually remove/bypass FRP (google account) on devices for customers.
I have a customer's Note10plus devices which is still on pincode lock screen trying to hard reset and remove FRP but can't enter into recovery mode. Tried to enter into download to flash with new firmware but unable to boot into download mode either. Looks like the device is remotely locked via Find my mobile which is preventing to hard reset the device, anyone knows about any new security feature ?
RECOVERY MODE:
1: Begining the process by holding the Volume Down + Power key in order to shut off the phone.
2: As soon as the phone is off, hold the Volume Up and Power button till the Samsung logo appears
3: Let go of held buttons when the SAMSUNG Galaxy logo pops up.
4: At this moment i should be seeing the Recovery mode but no its rebooting and getting error : "[PDP] backup fail: setup-wizard finish"
I'm a pro in rebooting devices into recovery and download mode usually get success in first attempt but sometime have to try 2-3 times as well as timing is the key in pressing and holding the combination of keys so surely not the timing issue on this devices.
Can't even use the ADB method as well coz the device is on lock screen, Can't enable USB debugging or see the pop-up on screen to enable it due to being on lock screen.
.\ADB DEVICES - Not reading or showing the connected Note10plus via the official USB cable.
Any help or information would be very helpful and highly appreciated Thanks.
This don't even make sense. If the customer can log in on the pc and lock the screen and such they can also log in and remove it. This whole shebang seems shady and more than likely you will find no help here. Most of us do not support bypassing of frp especially since you stated the customer obviously has access to the device in some form

Plug the phone into a pc with USB -c cacble whilst the phone is on and you inside of windows, in other word you need to be logged into windows 10.
Power off the phone (keep cable plugged in and pc on at all times)
Hold Volume Up + Power Button until you get into recovery mode.
plug in the official earphone the original one from the box, then try to enter to the recovery mode

Thanks man... It worked
After the second android 11 update, "recovery mode" can be accessed as follows: turn off the phone, wait 10 sec. , connect it to the laptop with the USB-C cable. After the battery percentage appears, press BIXBY + VOLUME UP + POWER BUTTON. When the logo appears, release VOLUME UP and POWER BUTTON and press VOLUME DOWN without releasing the BIXBY button.

Can someone here plese help me. Easter Sunday I get a text gif from my Sister and now I cant do anything with my S9. I read here about plugging S9 into windows machine but that scares me. I'm ready to call it quits with Samsung. This is the second device in a few years that has locked up on me. Could this be a hack or maleware? The new login feature for widows that includes a pin didnt work today either. I can get into windows fine with password. I did go to Google find my device and a map shows Africas west coast. HELP
In s10 plus i can't yet insert in recovery mode...Turn off the device, after the buttons combination Power button+Volume up+Bixby button and inserting usb cable in laptop doesn't insert in recovery mode and when open normally is displayed the error " [PDP] back-up:fail setup-wizard [FINISH]"
Any solution in this problem.......?
Hi, I have a similar problem. My Note 10+ stuck at bootloader page and will not power down. I could not use normal procedures to go to download or recovery mode. I drained off my Note's battery but once I plug the charger back to charge its battery. The bootloader page shows up. Any suggestions that can resolve this problem? I attached a screenshot here. Thanks in advance.

Hey there,
I've got some possibly important questions:
Does the Samsung logo show up on boot?
How did you try to boot into download- or recovery-mode, specifically did you press the power- and volume buttons to boot, just pressed the volume buttons, with/without plugged-in USB cable?
Does ADB/Fastboot/Odin/Heimdall/Smart Switch or anything recognize your device?
Any idea of what had been flashed onto the phone?
Does the battery percentage thingy show up when you plug a charger into the phone?
Have a nice morning/afternoon/evening.
Cheers

Does it boot if you press the power button from that screen.
I believe that screen appears after bootloader has been unlocked....which probably means device is rooted.
You should be able to boot into the system by tapping the power button from that screen.

Hi,
I have tried every methods that I could think of. I left it drain the battery three days ago and once I plugged in my phone charger and immediately it show this screen. The only way i can do is press vol dwn + power, it rebooted and came back to this screen again. No metter how many times I "reboot" it still come back this.
The last flash i did was used the odin to flashed the Magisk in "AP" cause I lost my root for some reason. I followed Magisk instruction to create a patching tar from the phone itself. Then re-flashed with odin. My Rom was using "N975FXXU6FUCD". After odin prompted "pass" and I left it to reboot. It usually will show this screen a while after rebooted.( normally it'll take around 45 sec to full boot but not this time.) No boot to Android page after left it about 10 minutes thought it still initialize.
I left it almost half an hour and phone still show the bootloader page. What i did was try to reboot or power off by press power button. I couldn't power off it even i hold the button for about 15 sec. Next move I just tried press vol up + power , vol down + power, insert USB plug while holding the vol up + dwn + power. I tried the combination of buttons and last I left it to drain out power.
I'll try if any other suggestions. I don't think there's a reset button unless open out its case..

Hey there,
With my N10, the combination for getting into Odin-mode is vol-up + vol-down and having a cable plugged in to a computer. Please try "rebooting" your phone (while having it plugged into your computer) and immediately after the screen goes blank, press vol-up + vol-down (without the power button).
I would recommend first trying to flash the full stock ROM (AP, BL and everything else you get) and if it boots, try modding it again.
Have a nice morning/afternoon/evening.
Cheers
Hey all,
Hope you've been keeping safe and well.
So I was flashing the new PixelExperience ROM - and seems like I made an error somewhere along the way.
I'm looking to return to stock, and then give the process another shot - but at the moment my phone is stuck in a bootloop.
The bootloader is unlocked - and the boot goes through the following screens before rebooting:
1. Samsung Logo
2. "The phone's bootloader in unlocked....Press power key to continue"
3. Samsung Note 10+ Logo Screen.
I'm trying my best to try and boot into either download or recovery mode, but to no avail - it just restarts the bootloop on each combination I've tried.
Any solutions on how to get moving with this?
Thanks!

Timing will be the key. To help out, boot up as you have been, but as early into the boot cycle press and hold the Vol - and power button for up to 5 seconds (until phone manually shuts off) [it will actually reboot the phone])), then the instant it powers off and begins to power back on (try a few times to get used to the timing) press and hold the key combination for recovery or download mode. In my experience whatever combination you go with while booting, the power button only needs to be held for the first 5 seconds or so of the combo button press/hold.
The other button, Vol+ or Vol- should constantly be held until desired mode begins to load.

Thanks for your quick and detailed reply man, appreciate it.
Still trying, new cords, ports, the whole buffet. Will keep at it.
Major flag though - my PC doesn't recognise the phone anymore, checked the USB ports in Device Management and nothing comes up. I've tried different cords and ports to no avail.
I have a feeling that because the device doesn't think it's not plugged in - it doesn't boot into recovery.
Just another detail - the flash goes on just before the reboot. Does this signify anything?

I'm not familiar with any significance the flash may point to. You've probably already done this.....but be sure to reboot PC....
Have you tried booting to recovery yet?
