Hi there guys!
I have a friend who had forgotten his pattern and Gmail account on the m8 and now we can't unlock it
We've tried to make it wrong 10 hoping for a reset as I saw on some websites
And tried to enter the recovery no luck as fastboot is on
Tried adb but he never turned it on
He would do anything to unlock it
From flashing a new firmware to unlocking the bootloader anything for a working device
Actuality I am a Sony user and I am a noob Inn htc stuff
So a helping hand is needed
Bootloader is always accessible, doesn't matter if the "Fast boot" power option is on or not:
Hold power and volume up for several seconds. This will force a reboot. The moment the screen goes dark (but before the white boot screen) release vol up, and start pressing vol down. Don't let go until the white bootloader screen appears.
Or you friend can just go to Gmail on a computer and retrieve their password.

Hard reset using key combo. But it will wipe the data from the phone.
Then after reflashing make a nandroid backup!

My friend got a MP6900SP, and he tried to download a rom and flash it.
Now the phone is bricked, can't power on.
When connect to PC, nothing happened.
If I press power + volumn down + reset, PC will found a device.
No bootloader screen (tri-color), screen is totally blank.
RUU can't found the phone.
I did some research, but got confused.
Most post are for Verizon phone, not sure if they work the same for spring.
So, I am just checking to see if there's a way to revive my friend's phone.
Thanks all for the help!!
try to update via SD card
search for updating the bootloader via sd and also updating roms via SD
sounds like you may need to try updating the bootloader via SD first
good luck

Have you pulled the battery and let it sit for a minute then put the battery back in and tried to power on?
Blank screen and cant power on? sounds like something far more than bricked from the ROM he tried...
If you can get the screen I would try the suggested route with the flash from bootloader/SD card technique but if you cant get a screen at all no matter what and swapped out batteries as well (have seen a bad battery cause similar issues and may be a coincidence this is happening during a flash attempt)

To enter bootloader:
Power+Camera, then reset. No volume button.

Thank you!!
bootloader mode flash was successfully revived the phone.
Not sure what "power + volumn down + reset" mode is, but PC does show fine a data interface when I press them.
Anyway, thank you all for the help!!
You guys are good!!

i dont know how to put my mp6900sp in bootloader mode i tried the above still doesnt work only the start up screen and then it stays on
I don't know what the OP was saying about the volume button.
But just to be clear: if you are stuck at the bootup screen, having problems connecting and/or need to flash via SD card.....you want to quickly press and hold the top Power button + right side Camera button, then the bottom Reset button. The phone should display the rainbow screen and will say "Serial" on it until you plug the phone into your computer, when it should change to "USB".
For more help see this post and because I recommend an NFSFAN ROM this thread and this thread.

Well if those didn't solve your problem what I did was let my M8 run out of battery and then plugged it into my computer holding power+volume down and that allowed me to get into the bootloader and then into fastboot. I then erased the cache and entered recovery where I had a backup ready.
I'm experiencing the same problem, and still working on solving it. But for those who are stuck in the boot screen and need to shut off their phone so that they can boot up into recovery (power + vol down), hold down BOTH volume buttons and the power button and the phone will shut off in a few seconds. I couldn't find this anywhere and was getting annoyed waiting for the juice to run out so I tried a few things and this worked.
edit: turns out it's just volume UP and power to 'battery pull' the phone, not both, although that will work because you're pushing on up

You can also try this if you're not willing to wait for the battery to drain. I also ran into that very same problem, being stuck on the htc splash screen.. However this is how I fixed it. Like one of the posters above i too held the volume button up while at the same time holding down the power button. My HTC One M8 would just reboot back to the splash screen. So, i went through all of the steps above again but this time as the screen went off still holding the power button down. I immediately slid my finger from volume up to down. I continued holding it in the volume down position until the boot loader come up. I selected recovery from there and did a cache wipe and restored a NAND backup. I hope this helps someone.
Found a pretty easy fix
It's a somewhat common problem as I can tell,w hen the device stops on the splash screen (where it says "POWERED by Android") ,, and it has a pretty easy fix, which does not require drain the battery or erase the cache from ADB and so on ! What you do is, you hold down Volume UP + Power Button and keep it pressed till the device will re-restart itself and will boot in to the system (unless you completely f-ed up your system).
Good luck
I have found a way

Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Power button until you see a black screen. As soon as you see it press the Volume Down key and the Power button at the same time. This should get you to your bootloader.

If you get into Fastboot (white screen withe the options), you should be able to run the RUU with the phone connected to a computer, which will wipe the phone, but will also make it usable again, via the least technical way possible.
You should be able find the Correct RUU for your carrier or unlocked device from HTC's website here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/updates.aspx

RUU's are run via download mode, not from the bootloader menu, as you have described.

hi I have tried to ruu but as phones stuck in loop it wont charge over 30% sadly
Have you tried the volume down+Power Button method to get in recovery and reset to factory setting option? If you do this, all your data will be erased, just a fair warning. Hold volume down+Power button for 15-20 seconds, screen will go black and as soon as HTC logo appear, let the power button go while keeping the volume down pressed. Good luck!

I am having the same issue....You cannot get into recovery or download mode, it loops too. All you can do is to get into the bootloader.
Hello friends.
I got my Pixel XL 2 yesterday and today I'm in trouble already.
I unocked the bootloader, installer twrp and rooted with magik succesfully, but I had trouble installing my apps (titanium backup gave me a parcing error and the googgle play store wanted me to pay again for my purchases for some reason), so I figured I do a factory reset so I get prompted to restore from my old phone via cable. So I went to settings -> factory reset.
The problem is that when android rebooted to erase the data, I instead got dumped into twrp on a screen that says Mount Decrypt Data and is asking me for a lock pattern. But the screen doesn't responds, so I can't proceed. The power hard button just toggles the screen on and off but it does not reboot or turns the phone off when I hold it, so I don't know how to get to my bootloaded to maybe reinstall a factory image or what else to do.
I'm just stuck on that screen without options.
I would very much appreciate any advice.
Hold power, vol up and down buttons until your device turns off.. then go into bootloader by holdind vol down and power
I thank you very much for your reply.
I did booted succesfully into bootloader, but now I'm affraid I jumped from the frying pan into the flame because now my phone doesn't power up at all. If I connect it to the charger I don't get the battery with a lighting bolt that I'm supposed to get. The only life sign I get is if I plug it via USB to my computer, I do get the sound that windows plays when yoy connect something, but other than that, the phone seems to be dead.
I'm guessing it's something with the hardware?

Was the battery low when you started this?
Are you familiar with ADB? When plugged into the computer type adb devices or fastboot devices does it return your device serial number? If so type adb reboot bootoader.
If not I would hold the power button for a good 20-30 second and see if you can force it to turn on or reboot and immediately hold volume down to get back to bootloader.

Did you get anywhere with this? Just curious. I know you're probably upset, we're here to help if we can. :good:
Thank you very much to everyone for your time and help.
Thanks to your advices I was able to solve it. In case anyone ever finds himself or herself out in a similar situation, here's what ended up happening:
After holding the power button for about 30 secs as Namolas sugested the phone did reboot itself and brought me back to that twrp mount decrypt data screen asking me for a lock pattern. It was then just a matter of adb booting to the bootloader and install a factory image as usual.
Thanks again. I appreciate it guys.
Hello Everyone,
I have a Redmi 6 Pro, with Chinese stable rom installed. My phone is stuck at MI logo at startup. I didn't do anything abnormal with it.
I can only access the Fastboot mode by pressing Vol down and power button. And nothing else. Pressing Vol up and power or pressing all buttons at once doesn't do anything, (Just goes to the logo screen and stays there.)
I am trying to reinstall the same rom using Fastboot method (Since it's the only way, I can't access recovery mode). but it's bootloader is locked. And I can't unlock it using the MI flash unlock tool. Because it requires modifying developer settings in phone, which I can't access.
I tried other unofficial method to unlock bootloader but it didn't work because that requires recovery mode. (Which I can't access.)
Please someone help me how do I unlock the bootloader, or just fix the phone any other way. I will be very glad if someone helps me get my phone running.
One more thing, I don't have any customer services center where I am right now, so that's out of the question.
EDIT: Sometimes (but rarely), the "Powered by Android" message also appears but then it stays there.
If you need any other information, Just ask me.
Thanks in Advance.
same issue here only fastboot option. tried edl/test mode but can't bypass edl authentication.

What happens when you try to unlock with official unlocker? u get error message or something? Also try to press power button and volume button continuously, let it reboot like that two three times, then leave power button as soon as u see the screen lighting on but keep pressing vol + till u see recovery. see if that takes u to the mi recovery, if it does then wipe data from recovery
