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.
While phone is off:
Hold down Volume+Down, then hold down Power. Keep them both held down until you're booted to Recovery.

No, that takes you to the bootloader. From there select hboot and the option to boot to recovery is there in the hboot menu.

Yes, folks (incorrectly) often use the 2 terms interchangeably (recovery and bootloader). But recovery and bootloader are very different things. On this device, there is no button combo that boots directly to recovery (although bootloader gets you close).

i heard that you simply hold down the VOLUME DOWN and POWER BUTTON at the same time to boot into recovery, however whenever i try it does nothing until i release my finger from the POWER BUTTON and then it just boots normally.
what's the proper way of doing this with this phone?
thanks
[EDIT] as stated below, i got it to work. rather then powering off completely and trying it, i ended up just doing a simple reboot and then it worked.

Did you flash the recovery correctly? Try reflashing it if it won't work.

i got it. apparently i was doing it incorrectly. i was powering down the phone completely and then attempting it.. i finally tried to just 'reboot' the phone and then it worked.
go into "settings" click "power".. and make sure "Fast Boot" is un-checked.
Same here. Even though Fastboot was disabled, I cannot boot into recovery from off state.
If I power up the phone normally, then select restart, and while the phone is rebooting--I press and hold the down volume key; THEN it boots into the menu that gives me the choice of booting into recovery.
Oh well, it worked...
Hello Root, bye-bye bloat!
Waiting for some CM7 goodness to spread our way.
For the life of me I can't get the Vol Up + Vol Down + Power button combo to bring up any menu options in the recovery mode on my Galaxy Nexus. This is a GSM from the Play store. I'm running stock Jelly Bean setup. I was trying to unlock the bootloader and do the factory image install, but I kept getting a boot cycle. I tried to go into recovery to data wipe, but I couldn't ever get the menu options to come up, just have the Android on his back with the exclamation point. Anyone else see this?
that is the stock recovery.
press power and vol down and up and you'll get the menu.

Wait, let's see if you're not confusing things.
To unlock: with the device off, 3bc (3 button combo) power+vol up+vol down. Hold it until you see bootloader screen. Connect the device to pc previously set up with fastboot, and in a command line, type 'fastboot oem unlock'. Accept on the device.
When in recovery (accessable by using volume keys in bootloader screen, also allows to reboot bootloader, start system), press vol up (or vol up+power, can't remember right now) to see stock recovery menus.
Nevermind recovery right now, follow efrant's guide on flashing stock/unlock. Set up fastboot. Don't use toolkits.

Ok my phone is now flashed. But I still can't get anything to show up in stock recovery. I can get to bootloader and volume up to recovery then I get the android on his back with bang. No button combo here brings up any menu options.

Awesome, thanks! This actually works, not sure why the 3 button combo wouldn't get it every once in a while. Is the 3 button combo used for the CDMA VZ version of the phone? I even saw this used in a youtube video!

Nope. It's power and volume up to get into the recovery menu from the recovery screen. Power and volume up and down is to get into the bootloader.
I tried power and volume up. Nothing happened!!!
I flahsed back to stock.... and got bootloop. since I didn't flash data image.
Edit:
Ok got it. press power button first .follow by volume up.
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?
THX.
As soon as it powers off hold vol down as it boots

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).

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...

What happened to get you to that point? Were you flashing firmware?
Does the device respond to commands over usb?

I flashed a stock GPE recovery to install the lolipop OTA and instead of booting into recovery it took me to the splash screen.

Try to hold volume up and power for 15 sec, it will turn the device off. Then you can boot in bootloader with vol down and power.

Press power and volume up buttons for about 10sec-20sec, it will go dark, quickly release both power and volume up buttons and press volume down button, you'll be on bootloader screen
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)?
