Great... I was checking weather from my One V, and the phone froze and screen went off when I pressed power button to try lock it. Now when trying to boot to bootloader, I get all time "error: device offline"
What is wrong.. Since it is unlocked and custom ROM, warranty will probably not help me?
It cannot be fully dead, as ADB still detects it, although it doesn't work and in device manager it shows up as "My HTC"
E: Awesome.... I removed SD card and SIM card and that cover, now tried press power button and, oh, lockscreen shows up and my phone is working again fine! Don't know why it did not work for while.
Case closed
How about force reboot - long press power for 5-7 seconds ?
Or force to bootloader - long press power for 5-7 seconds while holding the volume down and release the power button after 5-7 seconds but keep holding the volume down button ?
Also you can try the cable on other port if it helps

If you already didn't saw, the problem just went away. I pressed power button, and well, lockscreen appeared. I do not know why did my phone did this, but it works fine now. (Using your mySENSE-v RC3.0, great ROM! =) )

Noted that... my reply came 2 mins earlier
Since you solved your problem... enjoy it
hi
i recently updated the firmware on my device and when i rebooted it, it didn't go into fast boot. I have tried holding the power button for 30 secs to 1 min but the strange thing is, i am able to change the volume and at one point I could tap the screen and hear keypad noises. i can also access the storage on my computer.
any ideas to exit this?
thanks
Try holding power button and volume up for about 30 seconds or so. When the screen goes dark to reboot, let go of those buttons and just hold volume down. Don't let go until the bootloader screen appears.
If it didn't work, it means you either pressed vol down too late, or let go of it too early. Just try again.
This usually works when folks have issues getting into bootloader.
I fixed it by holding the power button in then pressing the screen. I guess I hit shutdown
Hi
I updated the firmware and it has booted up but it only shows the htc screen but the strange thing is i can occasionally turn the volume up and down and press the power button and feel it vibrate. I have tried holding it in for > 1 min and that doesn't work. any suggestions?
thanks

Hello
My phone every day once the state after death. where is the problem from?
Once the phone is turned off. By holding the power button and volume down ten seconds, it becomes clear.

based on you description, i think i just experienced the same problem.
my device was vibrating and then i picked it up, but i found that the screen was freezing when i was trying to unlock my phone.
it just kept freezing and seemed it wont restart by itself so i had to press the volume button and the power button.

Take it back and get it fixed under warranty...
Sent from my SGP311 using XDA Labs
What I basically need: I want to access recovery(or bootloader, I am not sure what its really called) to do a factory reset.
History of the problem: My little sister entered the pattern incorrectly too many times and now the phone is locked asking for gmail and password. Although I know it, but the phones wifi is disabled, so it says "wrong username or password" and hence I can not unlock it. I want to do a factory reset via the recovery but the phone is not going into it even though I press volume down + power(I also tried the volume up). USB debugging is off, and the device is not rooted... please help me, how can I get around this damn problem?

Power+vol down doesn't do anything (will not get you to bootloader) if the phone is on. This only works when the phone is powered off.
If power+vol up didn't go anything, it's probably because you didn't hold the buttons long enough. Hold power+vol up (and don't let go) until the screen goes dark (may take more than a minute in some conditions) meaning it is going to reboot. The moment the screen goes dark, let go of those buttons and only hold vol down. Don't let go, until the white bootloader screen appears. If you fail to get into bootloader (the phone just reboots, tried to go to OS) that means you didn't do the button combo correctly. Either you started pressing vol down too late, or let go too early. Just repeat the sequence until you get it right.
Thank you for replying
I said what you did, unfortunately it doesnt work

What doesn't work? I outlined a few steps. Need more details. The basic reboot sequence (holding power+vol up) does it reboot the phone or not?
This is hard coded into the device. It works in any condition short of a brick. It even works when the phone is powered off. The only time I've seen it fail is if your vol button or power button is broken.
ok, here is how it goes;
I turn the phone off
I press the voldown + power, the phone turns on, I release none of them, everything goes very normally, when the phone is at the lock screen, there is a messege on the display saying "to restart the phone, continue holding the power button for 3 seconds" and it counts down to 2 and then 1, it stops at 1, everything else is normal(except the home and back buttons have been flashing-turning on and off-since the start of the process). now I continue on holding both buttons until the phone autolocks, and here it goes to eternity, nothing happens form here just flashing home and back buttons..
I did the same process for volup+power. I did several times, each taking more than one minute..
and all my buttons are working, I can assure you of that..

when the phone is on at the lock screen, I have to swipe up, which takes me to a screen asking me for google username and password, and when I press the power button there, it displays the cummon box with 4 options; turn off, restart, airplane mode, and kid mode.
if I press the power button before swiping up, it displays the messege "To restart, continue holding the power button for 3 seconds" it counts down and stops at 1, just as I described before

Try picking restart. Then once the screen goes black, start holding (only) vol down. See if that gets you into bootloader.

lol. Your gratitude is enough.
Strange, I wonder why it didn't work when forcing a restart with button combo (power+ vol up). I don't think I've seen that issue you described, where the capacitive buttons are flashing.
Essentially, any time the phone reboots, if you hold vol down, it should go into bootloader. Or in the fully powered off condition, hold the vol down, and press and release power button (don't release vol down).
yeah, I read a tone about it and nothing worked. It seems my Htc is special
