Well if those didn't solve your problem what I did was let my M8 run out of battery and then plugged it into my computer holding power+volume down and that allowed me to get into the bootloader and then into fastboot. I then erased the cache and entered recovery where I had a backup ready.

I'm experiencing the same problem, and still working on solving it. But for those who are stuck in the boot screen and need to shut off their phone so that they can boot up into recovery (power + vol down), hold down BOTH volume buttons and the power button and the phone will shut off in a few seconds. I couldn't find this anywhere and was getting annoyed waiting for the juice to run out so I tried a few things and this worked.
edit: turns out it's just volume UP and power to 'battery pull' the phone, not both, although that will work because you're pushing on up

You can also try this if you're not willing to wait for the battery to drain. I also ran into that very same problem, being stuck on the htc splash screen.. However this is how I fixed it. Like one of the posters above i too held the volume button up while at the same time holding down the power button. My HTC One M8 would just reboot back to the splash screen. So, i went through all of the steps above again but this time as the screen went off still holding the power button down. I immediately slid my finger from volume up to down. I continued holding it in the volume down position until the boot loader come up. I selected recovery from there and did a cache wipe and restored a NAND backup. I hope this helps someone.

Found a pretty easy fix
It's a somewhat common problem as I can tell,w hen the device stops on the splash screen (where it says "POWERED by Android") ,, and it has a pretty easy fix, which does not require drain the battery or erase the cache from ADB and so on ! What you do is, you hold down Volume UP + Power Button and keep it pressed till the device will re-restart itself and will boot in to the system (unless you completely f-ed up your system).
Good luck

I have found a way

Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Power button until you see a black screen. As soon as you see it press the Volume Down key and the Power button at the same time. This should get you to your bootloader.

[Q] Bricked Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250

i seem to have hard bricked the device and i have been attempting to find a way i can fix it for hours.. i seem to be stuck. Its stuck on the boot animation cyanogenMod logo. I am unable to get into the recovery mode, as well as fast boot mode. i let it sit on that boot logo for hours without anything at all happening. No progress what so ever. Now the biggest thing i am trying to figure out is how i even managed to get this to happen. there was a software update notification that i received, so i figured it may have been the Android L update or something, so without taking into considering what exactly i was agreeing to i accepted, and continued. Let it reboot, and thats how i got to come across this issue. Any suggestions.

So if you hold down "volume up", "volume down", and then press and hold the power button, does it not boot into the bootloader? You may have to hold all three down for 15 seconds or so... Based on the fact that you can see the boot animation, it tells me that your bootloader is indeed functional, so, once booted into the bootloader, you can easily flash the factory images (as per this) and restore your device to working condition.

Yeah ive tried that, and nothing is working it just keeps going back to that same boot animation & im out of ideas. Iknow there has to be a way though.

What I find strange is that it boots to the boot animation -- that means the bootloader has loaded up the kernel and Android is attempting to start. The bootloader loads up before anything, so it is obviously working. Don't know why you can't access its menu though with the 3-key press. Maybe one of your volumes keys is not working properly? By holding those three keys down, it should not boot to the boot animation...
Can you get into download mode? Hold only volume down and press and hold power. If so, then you can use Odin and flash a stock ROM as per this thread.
In any case, if you can't get into the bootloader or download mode, then your only option is using OMAPFlash (as per this thread). That will re-flash your bootloader. If you still can't get into the bootloader menu after that, then there is a hardware issue.

[Q] Phone Bricked - Might not be hard bricked

Hey all, today I unlocked my bootloader and s-off'd. I decided to install 5.0 GPE and convert to GPE. Afterwards, I was stuck in bootloader. I flashed TWRP to recovery and tried multiple roms to no avail. Then, TWRP started flickering and crashing. In a moment of stress and anger, I thought, hey, maybe it will work in the boot partition. I was wrong, and now I'm in a boot loop. I can't get to bootloader no matter what, and it just keeps showing the google screen, then the TWRP screen flickering, then reboot. Any ideas?

If it's in a bootloop press and hold vol down button which will take you into bootloader.
OR
hold power+vol up upto 10 seconds , as soon phone restarts press and hold vol down which will take you into bootloader.

Phone is giving error reports loop I need help Bad.

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

I tried to boot load but it just put me back where I was. I left the phone on over night and it fixed itself so yeah

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.

Stuck in Bootloop, reboots every 15 seconds, holding power button does not stop it

The first problem I encountered while rooting my phone was that TWRP wouldn't stick, even though I didn't choose read only (ie i allowed it to make system modifications on the first TWRP boot) after rebooting
and booting back into recovery I would boot into stock recovery, instead of TWRP. So I tried flashing twrp, booting into it and rooting the phone, which was successful!
THE ROOT was successful, TWRP still didn't stick, every time I want to boot into TWRP I have to boot into it via fastboot.
Getting to the main problem, I booted into twrp, flashed a custom rom and got stuck in a bootloop while rebooting. It reboots every 15 seconds, I have kept the power button pressed for almost 2 minutes it doesn't stop the bootloop, I tried other combinations of vol buttons and power buttons does nothing.
One weird thing is that while it's in the loop I just have to press the vol down button and it boots into fastboot (as opposed to both the power button and vol down) when I boot into fastboot it stays there for about 6-7 seconds before rebooting, I tried booting into twrp through fastboot, but before I am able to enter the decryption password to start twrp, the phone reboots.
Should I let it run out of battery? will that stop the bootloop? I have a backup in twrp but I can't access twrp!
Does anyone have a solution?
[update] I let it run out of battery and on charging it continued the bootloop, with great difficulty i managed to install stock img file but the device just wont quit the bootloop

1. Try flashing new recovery image using TWRP booted via fastboot.
2. Does your phone had contact with any fluid or was in place with high humidity level for longer time? Your power button is short circuited. In other words it is in pressed state all the time. I had same problem on my previous P2 when I came from 1h running session in light rain. Some sweat and/or water got inside my volume down button and same thing happened.
In my case the phone button recovered itself after drying and clicking it a lot of times

I can't access TWRP as the phone doesn't give me enough time to enter the password for decryption, which is asked at the start every time you boot into TWRP, I get like 5 seconds in TWRP before the phone reboots
It is possible that the power button is spoilt as I have sweaty hands...

That's the reason. I know that pain. You should try pressing that button with different pressure (but be careful) and move you finger while doing it. Maybe it will recover itself. If not you should find someone trusted who will open the phone and clean the buttons from the inside. It's a shame that Lenovo just left this construction vunerable like that.
After you get your P2 working properly again then just buy case that will cover whole buttons to prevent situations like this next time. Also make sure to clean it regullary inside.
