After setting up the device, I activated device encryption. After that the phone rebooted and is now stuck at the HTC Screen. It just loops there and will not get past it. Any help is appreciated...

Can you get into any of the other phone modes (bootloader, recovery, or download)?

Volume down is broken, but volume up is working but does not do a thing. Problem is, I can not even power it off holding the power button. I had to pack it between a towel so the vibration at every reboot does not disturb me. Now it is laying here with empty battery and I tried to start it but I am getting the same symptoms...
Most likely another dead nand. Encryption is a bad idea on so many levels.

I'm very new to developing and I was experimenting with the terminal. I typed stop and hit the return key and my phone screen went black. I then performed a battery pull and now my phone will not start. Can somebody give me instructions on what I did and how to fix it? Any help is appreciated
Have you tried booting into HBoot
battery pull, hboot, recovery, restore backup. if that doesnt work then maybe try fastboot? do you know what that command is meant to do?
UPDATE: I held down the power and volume up buttons for about 5 seconds. The device vibrated, but the screen stayed black and now the LED is blinking orange. How do I proceed from here?

I know that the "stop" command followed by an application will stop that application. I don't know what it does without an application after it

Have you tried a different battery? That doesn't seem to be a software issue.
Its the power button and volume down.
if nothing seems to be working then fastboot is probably your best option

I tried a different battery and the same thing happened. Even before I ran into this problem, when I would hit that button combination this would happen. Does anybody know what power + volume up (not volume down) does?

Did you have some problems with the volume rocker, especially with the vol+ button, recently?
It's the same that would have happened if you held down vol+ and power.
Also, which operation did you stop?
No problems with the volume keys but my phone always did that if I held the power button and the volume up. And I didn't stop any process I just typed in "stop", and hit enter
Hm, I just did exactly what you did.
-Ran "stop" in a root shell
-Display went black
-Pulled the battery
-Booted it up again
Didn't have any problems with it.
As far as I know, the flashing orange light at boot is triggered by the debug mode (vol+ and power, but you can't do anything in it) or a corrupted bootloader.
However, a corrupted bootloader caused by this command is very unlikely, since it doesn't actually do anything to the device's partition table.
Did you do anything to the bootloader or anything related to that before you hit stop? You might have screwed it up in another way, maybe without even knowing since the device will run without a problem, even with a corrupted bootloader. Until you reboot, that is.
Anyway, I'm still guessing that you're just entering the debug mode for whatever reason.
I will try it with a battery that I know is working. The splash screen isn't showing up either so I think the Android OS was corrupted in some way. Also, if I do have a corrupted bootloader, how would I fix that?

By sending it to HTC.
I don't really know if there are any JTAGs for the DHD.
Tried using a battery that I know works. No luck. I tried booting the phone up and booting into HBoot, but nothing happened
I flashed @Fenny's deodexed m8 stock rom. During the flash the phone rebooted to the splash screen. Now the phone will not turn off when holding the power button. I confirmed the hash sum before flashing. Flashed through TWRP 2.7.0.2. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. I need to know how to turn my phone off (without adb since I'm at work). From there I can get back to recovery and restore the stock ROM.

Try holding the phone close to a light source then try to reboot it. Reboot it holding the Volume down key so it reboots into the bootloader.

Do you know about how long I should hold down the buttons? I have held it under a florescent light that is directly over my desk for a couple of minutes while doing that and it doesn't do anything.

It should happen after about 10 seconds. The reason for light source is because HTC doesn't want the phone to reboot in your pocket, etc ...

Whelp. Holding under the light source seems to do nothing. This is what I was afraid would happen if I bought a phone that didn't have a removable battery. :/ Are there any other methods that might work? I am downloading adb right now.

IDK that's always worked for me. Try holding the power button down harder maybe, I know it sits a little flush and you may not be pressing it down fully.
Great Success!!!
Okay. Finally got it to work. I had to hold volume up + power to get the phone to reboot. When the screen turned black I changed to the volume down while still holding the power button. This booted me to HBOOT. Then I was able to select recovery and boot there just fine. I am now restoring to my stock backup.
@SmiLey497 Thanks so much for your help! Your fast replies and explanation helped a lot! :good:
I think that I now need to go home and change my pants. Lol!
EDIT: Stock backup booted perfectly. No more paperweight.

Hold down the power botton +vol. up for about 20 seconds. When the screen goes black switch holding vol. up to holding in vol. down.
You should boot into fastboot.

If you're not on 4.4.4 firmware you should update to it. It's already a well known fact that running ROMs with out dated firmware WILL result in excessively long bootup times(10mins + ) .

Then just try it again.
Did it actually start up again or just shut itself off? if so you can still just press Volume Down + Power to get into bootloader.

Once it reboots you won't really be able to get in, well I couldn't when I tried. As soon as the screen goes dark you should immediately have the volume down key pressed, I'm talking about a second at most in between.
If the phone is completely off it's easy enough to just hold volume down and power for a couple of seconds until it goes into bootloader. When you do the hard reset you have to hold the power button and slide down to volume down quickly before it boots up.
You didn't still have fastboot checked in the settings did you?

OH SH*T! I still have mine checked. It doesn't work any more for me (normal boot times), but I haven't been unchecking it when messing with stuff because I'm not realizing/ forgetting that it is on.
I should probably fix that before I get myself into trouble.:good:

I'm just curious, was your phone fully charged when you were flashing the ROM? It sounds like a battery problem, but I could be wrong.
Always make sure you have lots of battery before flashing anything. The way it won't stay on is really weird. You could try the ROM's forum. Maybe you might find an answer there. Sorry.

Where did you download the ROM from? You can probably figure it out by reading your original post.
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.

Stuff like this is why "technical support" is the way that it is.
OK, so we have no idea what you did since you're not telling us. Help us help you.
How long are you letting it sit and reboot (and leave it plugged into the charger)? The phone will do this after RUU, give it 20 mins or so before interacting with the device. To reach download mode, hold the power button and volume down button, after phone vibrates, release the power button and after menu displays, release volume down button. If this doesn't work, hold all three buttons until after back/recent buttons blink and device reboots.
What--EXACTLY--did you do before this happened? Which variant is your phone? Version? File(s) you used?
