I flashed then new CM12 Rom and when i reboot the phone restarts but after splashscreen it goes out.
I can hold Power+vol down and up, and it restarts but goes out after splashscreen.
If i leave the phone it rests and goes out after splashscreen.
So how do i shut down the phone and how do i enter Recovery do a restor?

Are you holding vol up and down at the same time?
Press power + vol up till the phone reboots. AS SOON AS the screen goes black, slide your finger to vol down. That will take you to the fastboot menu. Choose hboot, and it will give you an option to enter recovery.

Hi All, I have read quite a few threads to try and help me but seem to have bricked my phone.
I was in the process of flashing my phone to ARHD.
I got all the way through and now seem to be stuck at the HTC Quietly brilliant screen following a reboot from Recovery mode.
When I try and go back into fast boot or recovery it will not let me it just goes back to HTC quietly brilliant.
As I cant turn the phone off totally, What can I do to force it into fast boot,
The phone is a HTC_001 and was fully up to date with the stock SW b4 i started to play.
Just to confirm once again, phone will NOT boot into fastboot or recovery following a failed flash to ARHD and phone is stuck on quietly brilliant screen.
Please help. Thanks in advance.
to enter fastboot, hold power for like 10-15s causing phone to force restart....then once screen is completely black, release power and press and hold volume down until u see bootloader screen....then enter fastboot...
have u made a backup of ur stock rom before experimenting???
seems like u have not flashed the boot.img in fastboot....
give some details...
Hi mihirengg19
Tried that but just shakes and goes back to the quietly brilliant screen and to your other questions NO and NO
Any more idea's apart from using a sledge hammer ? lol
just try again....now hold (power+vol down)....or repeat what i said above...
hi again mihirengg19
Ok holding power and vol - down together.
after a few seconds the soft buttons flash, screen goes black
I release the power button. Phone Vibrates I release vol - and HTC Quietly brilliant comes back onto the screen. tried this about 30+ times now always same result.
u must be doing something wrong....u should be able to enter into bootloader...

I know, this is what is worrying me, at the current rate the battery will be flat in no time as the screen is on max brightness, is it best to leave it go flat so it turns off completely ?
just tried it another 2 times now, still the same. ? holding down the VOL - (bottom rocker button) still locked on the HTC screen
u can try this-when the phone drains down,plug it into the wall. see if the recovery screen appears...
Did you try via PC and command "adb reboot bootloader" ?

Keep volume down held down.
Which ARHD are you trying to install, 16? Did you update your bootloader to 1.3x?

ok, Hold power down only for 10 seconds, keep holding until the buttons flash and the screen goes black, then release power and immediately hold power down the phone should then boot into fastboot mode
I would also suggest 'adb reboot recovery' from command Prompt while stuck.. Or 'adb reboot bootloader' followed by 'fastboot erase cache'. Maybe reflash boot.img and erase cache again...

Not sure if this will help at all, but in this post you said when the screen goes black you released the power button. Maybe try and hold both buttons down for about 30 seconds to be safe, and if the bootloader still doesn't show up, I don't really know what else to suggest.

SOrry this is a bit late, but i had the same problem and I fixed it after loads of errors.
Just remove your sim card and hold volume down and power till it goes into bootloader!

A bit late.....yeah about 4 months LMFAO !
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.
I am in a bit of a predicament. When I tried power-off my phone from the TWRP reset menu TWRP froze up. I could click any of the buttons on screen (the clicking/tapping animation did go off) but got no repsonse. When I tried to do a forced power-off by holding the power button, the only thing that happened was the screen locked. Now I am stuck on the lock screen because for some reason the phone won't unlock when I slide to unlock it. Am I screwed and will have to wait until the battery goes dead to be able to get back to the bootloader? I tried to flash TWRP 2.8.6.0 inside TWRP but it flashed to the boot partition instead. I have a backup but I need to first be able to flash the new recovery to restore it.
Press vol up+vol down + power button for 15 sec or more
When screen goes black
Press voldown + power to enter bootloader
Thanks for the quick response. Sadly I ended up calling it a night soon after posting so I ended up letting the battery die.
Hi I was running the Cyanogen Mod Nightly for my phone, and hadn't updated it for about a week. When I went in to my settings to update it, I downloaded the latest one and when it was done it prompted me to start it, so I did. It got to about 2%, and after that it's been looping in boot. The screen flashes on and off instantly every 5 seconds. Power + Volume Up works, it shows the HTC screen and says it's going into recovery, but then it just loops in boot again.
Is there any fix/hope for my phone?
Press power + vol up, and as soon as the screen goes black, press and hold power + vol down. You will boot into the bootloader. from here you can flash an RUU to go back to stock

So I tried doing this, but nothing happened.
I did however, fix my problem, by holding down Power + Volume Up until it showed the initial "Booting into recovery" screen (which was failing), but kept holding Power + Volume Up until the Battery Charging screen showed up (I had it plugged into my PC). Once I let go, it rebooted the phone normally, and started up Cyanogenmod. Now the phone works, so I am going to back up my data, and switch to a non-nightlies version (or just never update).
Thank you!
Next time if you are in a bootloop, just holding vol down during the next restart cycle will get you to bootloader.
If the buttom combo (Power+vol up to force a restart, then just hold vol down to go to bootloader) doesn't work, its virtually always due to getting the timing wrong (either not pressing vol down soon enough, or letting go too early). And the fact it was looping makes the timing tricky. But holding vol down during a bootloop (restart) will always get you to bootloader.

I already tried that, it would automatically go back into a bootloop. And I tried your second option, which also didnt work. The only way I personally was able to fix it was having it plugged in, holding Volume Up + Power through the bootloader screen (which would crash) until the battery icon with the red disclaimer text showed up. Then it would reboot without going to bootloader (Pretty sure the Cyanogenmod tried to get it to this and failed).
Still cant get it to update without crashing so im just going to flash a new rom.
My 7-year old was playing a game on my wife's 3a XL tonight and it shut off. Now it's stuck in a bootloop.
I tried to boot into Recovery, but was greeted with the busted android screen. So I tried to boot into Rescue, with the same result. The bootloader is still locked, so all my attempts to flash factory images or boot into stock boot, I am greeted with the "not allowed" error.
Any ideas how I can recover this, or is it completely bricked?
If your bootloader is still locked you should be able to sideload the stock OTA. I've never heard of not being able to boot to stock recovery either. What method did you use to get there?

When you reach that screen on recovery you hold the power button and tap the vol + button and your options should show up. Just factory reset the device.

I tried to boot to TWRP but couldn't because the bootloader is locked. So I tried using ADB commands to sideload through Rescue, but it only said "error: closed".
Ended up doing a factory reset. (running now)
Haven't seen you in awhile
Well well.... thought i recognized that username. Good to see you again.

I cannot get my phone into fastboot or recovery. It stuck on the white google loading screen loop. I hold the power and volume down and it goes into fastboot but if I release the volume down button to scroll (while holding the power button) it will then go black and go back to the google white loading screen. If I hold down the volume down button and release the power button it will restart back to the fastboot page. If I release both then it will restart and go back to the white google screen. If I do power and volume up it goes to the "andriod no command" sreen then back to the googe white screen. In sum, is my phone recoverable?

When in fastboot, don't hold the power button down to scroll. Is your bootloader locked?

I'm guessing its locked because the phone is completely stock. When I get to fast boot I dont hold down the power button, but if I hit the volume up or down it instantly goes back to the google white screen and starts the loop over.

When on the bootloader screen can you fastboot a full image to the phone?
Said another way, try to download the full Google image.. not the ota... Setup a computer with fastboot and driver's boot the phone into bootloader mode and try to run the flashall.bat

Try-Once in bootloader scroll to recovery and press power button. When you see Android on his side hold power button and press volume up button. You should now be in stock recovery. From there you can adb or factory reset.
Edit- to get to bootloader power off phone then hold power and volume down buttons at the same time.
