I get a HTC One m8 for free but when I turned on the mobile as the HTC logo is lit with red warning (This build id for ...) and nothing happens, then it can not turn off. Mobile should be unlocked with a custom recovery but did not make it further .. any ideas?

Try entering bootloader mode (hold Power + Volume Down). Go to FBOOT and then try entering recovery. If you can enter recovery, and it's TWRP or CWM, then you might be able to flash a custom ROM from external SD.
The previous owner may have tried to do a factory reset, but ended up wiping the system as well.
If that fails, you may be able to flash the proper RUU for your device.

Mobile can not be shut down or get into bootloader mode.

That doesn't make sense. You should be able to enter bootloader mode even if there's no OS installed.
Keep us updated.
Buttons can also hold two minutes but nothing happens, I have to wait until it is discharged to turn off because now it can not be turn off

Hold power and vol up, for 30 seconds or more. This will force a reboot. The moment the screen goes dark (signalling its shutdown, and about to reboot) let go of those buttons, then only hold vol down. Don't let go until you see bootloader.
This method works reliably, and failure usually means you either didn't start pressing vol down soon enough, or let go too early. So just repeat the process, until it works.
Nothing worked .. If the mobile on, button did not work .. Only when completely discharged so I could turn it into bootloader and custom recovery and install custom rom, so that already works well.

With fastboot on: turn off phone until it's completely off and switch it on appr 20 min after
With fastboot off: turn off phone and switch it back on...
To enter SafeMode:
Turn off phone
Hold Power button until first white HTC Screen appears
Then, let go of the Power button and hold Volume Down until your phone fully boots
You'll now be in SafeMode (It'll say so in the bottom left hand corner)
What does SafeMode do? SafeMode stops any 3rd party services from running when the phone boots. Useful if you have installed a rouge or badly coded app that slows your phone down. Not really useful for anything else.
To exit SafeMode simply restart your phone

Kind of similar:
Turn your phone off
Then hold Volume Down, then press and hold Power until your phone boots into the bootloader. Then let go of both and press Power again to launch Fastboot.

Hi if you can use the keypad on the phone dial *#*#3424#*#* this will allow you to enter safe mode as well as test the hardware of your phone.
Hope this helps.

Phone gives error reports when booted Help my HTC One m8 went ballistic after I tried to install lollipop. For reference I have a sprint (unconnected) Htc One m8 Harmon Karman edition with Ł launcher as a launcher. I went to settings and found an update. The update download and then installed. When the phone went to boot it booted then instead of taking me to the home screen, it took me to a white page with a loop of error reports of apps not working. I can't get into the phone at all. I tried to boot in recovery but that did nothing. Please help I'm desperate. The pictures show examples of the errors I get them for different apps and hitting buttons to send reportso does nothing but give another report. Please help fix this.

What does that mean exactly? Can you get into bootloader? Do you get a red triangle when you select recovery from bootloader?
Hold power and vol up for several seconds to force a reboot. The moment the screen goes dark to reboot, let go of those buttons and just hold vol down until the bootloader screen appears.
fixed

If you can't get into bootloader (but can force a reboot), its because you didn't do the button combo correctly. Either you started pressing vol down too late, or let go of it too early.
Bootloader will always work as long as the screen comes on.
Hi, I updated with wrong recovery file and the device stuck in the boot logo. Even powering down is also not working. I can see that mac detects the USB device as HTC Android device. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Is your problem solved ?
If not how did you get into that problem ?
Did you try force shutting down by pressing power down ?
Did you try "Press power plus volume up for 10 seconds" option ?

even i am stuck in this mode, after the 3rd step from WinDriod Toolkit flashed supersu, returned to install Lineage OS from TWRP mode, was sucessful in that too however forgot to install GAPPS after that and proceeded further, phone asked that super su not installed and if i want to install one now, proceeded from there and the screen now shows a 'sad Teal colour smile',
Also the volume + power up worked and device restarted however vol + power down doesnt seem to work and device returns to the same state 'sad Teal colour smile'.

When u press +volume +power and it restarts and screen goes black. Immediately press -volume +power. U will be able to get into recovery this way
When I power on my m8 it gets frozen on htc one screen.
when i press power+volume down it just simply power on
Please help.
Do this:
1) Hold power+vol up for a minute or so, to force a reboot
2) The moment the screen goes dark to reboot (but before the HTC logo screen appears - you actually have about 3 seconds to do this), let go of those buttons, and start holding vol down only. Don't let go until you see bootloader.
3) If you fail to get into bootloader, you probably just got the timing wrong (either started pressing vol down too late, or let go too early). Just repeat steps 1 and 2, until you get it right.
Nothing happens holding power+vol up

It would have been broken (or was malfunctioning) before. It didn't suddenly break.
If you've never had any problems with the vol rocker, its probably fine.
Try charging the phone for a few hours, then try again. Try the button sequence with the charger attached.
You can also try letting the battery run out. Then after that, charge it and try holding power+vol down.

No. There is no way to do anything, unless you can either boot to OS or bootloader.
You have to keep trying to get to bootloader, one way or another. Its really your only option.
What happens if you just hold power (for a minute or so)?

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.

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!
