Hello guys, how are you doing?
So, yesterday my htc one m8 started to do one thing very weird: the power button could unlock screen but couldn’t lock it back. Also, the volume buttons go all your way up or down with only one click.
I managed my way to restart the phone but it entered on HBoot Screen. Now, in HBoot, up button go to next item and down and power button don’t work.
I already restart the phone just waiting ir run out of battery, but it entered in safe mode. Here everything works fine. I restarted the phone and it entered HBoot again, with same problems with buttons.
I’m familiar with fastboot, flash and everything, but I can’t enter on any option in HBoot, anyone know what should I do?
Fixed
Well, in HBoot screen I pressed Power + volume down and everything is working fine now.

Hi,
My One X was working fine with my custom firmware for about six months but then it suddenly bricked itself by booting into HBOOT and now the up volume key and power button both move the selection down while the down volume key does nothing. When I turn the phone off it just reboots into HBOOT. For it to turn off I have to wait for the battery to run out, but that doesn't help with anything.
My computer doesn't seem to recognise the phone either, even though I haven't really changed anything since I rooted it and flashed the new rom. I have no idea what to try now, any help?
No one has any advice? Does this mean it is completely bricked?

maybe your volume buttons are broken, have some problem here in the forum try open the HOX and see if they are not stuck or durty

I thought that was unlikely but I finally got around to testing anyway and the phone booted up properly when I unplugged the ribbon which includes the volume buttons. I guess the down volume button must have been stuck on which is why the phone continually booted into HBOOT and the down volume key didn't do anything when it was pressed. I guess the way the menu HBOOT menu is programmed meant that pressing the other buttons didn't do anything but upon release it registered the down button again.
Anyway, I replaced that part of the phone and it's all in working order. Thanks for the tip.
So, I tried to restore a backup from TWRP. During the process, the system and cache were restored fine, but couldn't restore the data (for some reason, it said failed), so I figured it's alright, I'll just have to install all the apps again, no big deal. But, after I clicked the "reboot system", the screen went off and never turn back on.
I can't get in bootloader screen in any way, I haven't tried the Vol up + power button for 10s, and the vol down + power button, and the 3 button all together... Nothing works.
When I press the power button normally, nothing happens, not even the Htc logo screen.
When I plug it in, it only shows the battery charging icon. So I tried the buttons combination again (coz I thought at least the screen turns on now), but still, nothing happens, just the screen switch between black and the charging icon.
So, I left it charging overnight, and tried the buttons combination again, nothing works still.
Now I have no idea what to do, can anyone please help me?

It sounds like you hard bricked your phone. Try using this guide youtu . be/ rpA71FXddyU[/ but Im not sure it will work.
Only thing what you need is that computer recognize your phone, because when It doesnt then you should take your phone to local phone repair.
I took my phone in for a cracked screen and when I got it home I found out the volume up was not working. So I booted into recovery thinking I could check in recovery to see if it was a software or hardware issue, but the volume up did not work there. So I rebooted and now my GPE edition rom is stuck at the spinning dots. When I go back to the bootloader I cannot select recovery. My volume down button make the selection go up, my volume up button does not work and for some reason even though I can reboot with the power button, I cannot select with it. Is there any other tricks to wipe and reinstall?
ADB does not return a device list.

I had the exact same problem, but opposite. Vol down didn't work. Bootloader problems were the same.
Your issue is that you vol up is stuck.
The way i fixed it was to pull off the volume rocker and put it back on my own. I DO NOT suggest you do this.
When you took it for repairs, the reassembled it incorrectly. Take it back and have them fix it.
My hardware buttons have been playing up a bit recently, power and volume down buttons not working or working poorly one day, fine the next.
Today when I was flashing another ROM onto my phone, my volume down button decided to stop working in an Aroma installer, which obviously doesn't really work out with our phone. I had to run my phone flat to exit the installer due to not being able to move the cursor downwards.
When I charged it a bit and rebooted, the phone went into the bootloader, since it seems the down button is constantly pressed. The power button won't select anything, and the volume up moves the selection downwards. Turns out booting connected to power changes things, because it got me to recovery rather than the bootloader. I flashed the latest version of Revolution, booted fine, but in safe mode. Unfortunately it seems the way to get out of safe mode is by holding a hardware combination during boot, but none of the buttons register as they should.
Tl;dr broken volume down, temperamental power button, phone stuck in safe mode. Figure I can reflash a ROM to clear it, but I reckon I'll end up in the same situation. Any get arounds or is it time to start shopping for a phone to tide me over until my plan expires?
Hey guys,
Ok, this is a tough one for you. I'm actually not 100% convinced that my phone isn't hard bricked. But every where I look for, it says, it's only hard bricked if your phone wont turn on at all and that's just not true in my case. So here's the story:
My volume-up button is kind of screwed, I don't know, what happened to it, but one day, it just started being triggered randomly until it just didn't work at all anymore. It wasn't that big of a problem, since I was still able to change the volume by hitting the volume-down button once and changing the volume by the on screen slider. I was running SkyDragon GPE V5.5 for quite a while now.
But now I wanted to upgrade to Android 6.0, so I downloaded the firmware from here. Next I rebooted to bootloader switched to fastboot and used "sudo fastboot oem rebootRUU" and "sudo fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" twice. So far so good, everything went fine and I actually even am able to see the new Google splashscreen.
So now I want to flash this ROM. But, for some reason, the touchscreen doesn't work anymore, even though it's activated in the CWM Philz Touch GUI settings enabled. Alright, so I "wipe to install a new ROM" and navigate to the zip file to install it and it starts the aroma installer, which I can't control since the touchscreen doesn't work. So, I'm kind of frustrated by now, I flash TWRP, because, maybe here, the touchscreen works. I flash it and try to reboot into it. But it doesn't work, it just stays at the Google splashscreen, I can restart by holding down the power button but it will just go back to the Google splashscreen. After a couple of tries I actually get it to turn off, so I hold down power and volume down to get into the bootloader but it just goes back to the splashscreen.
I can't get to the bootloader, I don't have a ROM installed and I can't get into the recovery. Is there anything I can still do or is everything lost?
Which TWRP version ? You need to use 2.8.7.0
You can't get to bootloader because of the timing when pressing power & volume down button.
If you can turn it off, press and hold volume down button then press power button until it vibrates then release the power button.
