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).

^^^^This.
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

OK no power button on the motherboard
So I cannot push vol up power and home
Any ideas please and thank you
And my phone wilnot turn on it gets stuck at the logo screen so I cannot install any drivers
How do you turn it on with no power button?
When it first starts to boot, immediately hold home and volume up and it should boot recovery.
tried

OK it just vibrates and stays black and vibrates every few seconds till I'll I let go that it stays black
Try the same but volume down instead. If this works you can odin flash the stock firmware. Sounds like something may have been corrupted.
Hi,
I was on open bootloader, S-On, TWRP and root. For the Stage fright update 4.19.161.13 (Vodafone) i reinstalled stock recovery and applied the OTA. It rebooted twice and gut stuck at One logo for an hour, so i shut it down by pressing Power + volume up. Now it doesn't boot. When i press Powe + Volume up then the One logo appears for a few seconds and then i get a black screen, but when i plug the one into my pc, the pc says mtp-device. Unfortunately i cant get into the Bootloader or Fastboot. Does anyone has advice for me? Thanks in advance.
Hold power and volume up and when the screen goes black you switch the volume to down. Keep the power button pressed at all times and hold these combos until you see the bootloader. Works flawlessly......if it doesn't it's your timing that's off
I'm on vodafone too and had the same problem.
Just follow MrHofs advise to get the screen back.
I have to restore from TWRP to get the phone running.
the update still comes up on my phone now but I'm not going to apply it until I now kow.
Thanks, it worked. The screen wasn't actually black, but on and just really dark gray. In a dark room I could see when it's reaaly off and the press Power + Volume down.
Try this....

Can you help me? My phone is restarting again and again , Even it doesn't stay in Bootloader for more than 2seconds i can even go to fastboot to fix my phone , I am Locked Fully Stock
What is the button configuration to enter stock recovery?
Hold volume down and power, once phone vibrates let go of power. Once the screen with all the options comes up let go of volume down. After that enter bootloader then enter recovery.

Left out a step.
After booting into recovery, when you see the red triangle, push and hold the Power button, and tap the Volume Up button once. This will get you into the stock recovery menu.
