What a stupid response to the stated problem, how in the $%^# can you do any of the recommended fixes if you are stuck at the boot screen and it will access HTC recovery mode,
You can access Recovery mode when you are stuck at the boot screen.
How? I have the issue as Wayne weapon speaks of with no response? Just the standard 12 second hold of the power button shutdown . Would appreciate any kind of help
Yes you can access it. It might take a couple of tries but it works
your response is the stupid one. My phone was just stuck in a bootloop and I was able to fix it with his suggestion.
i had a slightly different issue but wouldn’t allow me to hard reset as per above. the technique of changing from vol up to vol down worked for me and now I have a working phone (and another in the post after ordering last night). I think its on its last legs anyhow, but it should now be ok for calls for a couple of days.
I had a bootloop problem as well and vol- power didn’t work. The solution I found was to vol+ power which simulates a battery pull and then as soon as the screen powers down immediately vol- power which will bring you to the bootloader screen, then you can reset or go to recovery from there.
Thank You. It worked for me and now i can use my phone again.
Welldone, this worked for me…
thanks a lot..It worked for me…
I’ve done this, and the recovery and it still won’t boot past the HTC ONE screen – any advice?
I bought the htc one m8 3 days ago, all was ok when i was installing everything but suddenly it went into the white screen. I tried several times to reboot, recover, even tried wiping it all but still shows only that screen. I bought the phone in spain but i’m in argentina. I called the htc service and after trying to wipe it off unsuccessfully they said the best is to return it. Is there any other thing i can try? There is no htc service here in argentina. Pleasee help!
I’ve done this about 20 times. I’ve done factory reset. Nothing will get me out of this stupid screen! What do I do?
Hey, I think the issue you’re having is hardware-related. You will have to take the phone apart to fix it though. See here http://deziborg.com/htc-one-power-button-boot-loop-fix/
I always liked HTC, it has been 10 years i use HTC, but after this problem i’m leaving. In my opinion there’s no justification for something so nasty, you have to be a mobile developer to solve this issue, fuck you
For “HTC one mini 2” the solution for entering the Bootloader-mode was:
After the Startup-Screen freezes (for about 3 minutes) -> press and hold Power & Volume+ buttons until phone goes to Reset (black screen), then immediatelly release thebuttons and press and hold onlythe Volume- button. This enters the bootloader-screen.
When I’ve tried pressing Power together with Volume- -> this doesn’t work by me.
