My phone kept getting "com.android.phone has stopped unexpectly, so i went into recovery and wiped cache and also fixed permissions and tried to reboot. Phone went to bootloop, never powers on. I try to hold power button and vol up and the phone vibrates and takes me to htc screen and then goes back to boot loop. I do not know how to get into recovery, please help?? Lollipop HTC One M8
Try holding power + volume down when the phone powers on, that should bring you into bootloader

Hello all,
My Nexus was simply sitting on my table doing nothing when it rebooted, then boot looped. After ten minutes of this I pulled the battery and attempted to go into recovery, but when I held down the button the phone vibrated but there was nothing simply a blank screen. Waited for about ten and decided to once again pull the battery. Powered on normally and the phone stays at the google screen. I've been running cm9 stable for about three weeks with not a single problem. BTW I've googled the hell out of this problem but everything came back to getting the phone into back to recovery or the fastboot screen which I cannot. Anyone tell me if this can be fixed, or does it need to have an "accident".
Thanks
Are you sure, you can't boot into fastboot (and then recovery)?
Try holding vol down + power, and if that is unsuccessful then try volume down + volume up + power
Can you see the phone in command prompt window?
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.
I just installed flashify and TWRP. When I let flashify reboot the phone, it stuck at the main boot logo. I can get it to briefly reboot with vol down + power, but it just hangs back at the same screen. I tried holding vol up + power + home during that brief period of time but nothing happened.
Any ideas?

I'm experiencing this too, I installed stock firmware and it is still doing this. I need to access recovery so I can clear cache and partition but this damn phone refuses to get to recovery mode. It'll go to download mode no problem, but trying to get to recovery mode is just impossible this way. Anybody???
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.
Okay, so that was me holding the wrong combination, after trying VOLUME UP + Power Button I ended up in System Recovery, if I reboot the phone still will be stuck in the booting process, so what now?
