Hi, I am new to the forum as a member, although i have been on here before browsing. Think its excellent and helped me alot with my old htc.
My phone went completely dead today, for some reason it wouldnt take charge from my car charger. I got home and charged the phone, it switched itself on, but wont get past the HTC ONE splash screen. I have rebooted it several times.... any ideas?

You going to need to charge it for half hour or more before you want to start messing with stuff.

Its not rooted, just tried the recorvery option in bootloader, but that just came up with a phone picture with an exclamation mark.
When it stalls, if you hit the power button the bottom keys continually flash. :s
I hope i can get back into this phone as i have alot saved on it!

Think you going have to reset it but not sure if doing it in bootloader will wipe the SD.

Try the factory reset option. Your data will still be there afterwards you will just have to setup the phone again.
If you haven't rooted the phone or unlocked the bootloader it's best you stop trying to fix it yourself before you blow your warranty. Try the factory reset and if it doesn't work start calling and trying to get a replacement.
Also, all questions go into the Q & A forum.
Hold the power and volume down buttons until the phone turns off and reboots itself into the bootloader. Then factory reset from here.

Factory reset in recovery? Might be worth a try putting one file on the storage and doing a reset through recovery. I doubt it though, since it removes locking and if it didn't wipe out would give access to all your photos and documents.

Same happened about a week ago here. Got stuck whilst trying to connect to a wireless network. Went into a boot loop. Managed to wipe it but I lost all of my data. Only happened once though.

Sounds like a stuck on/off button. Unfortunately it's been fairly common. It's been discussed many times in the forums

thats what i stated b4, reset in recovery is a hard reset, thats the only way to todo it
Phone is rooted with latest TWRP, Cataclysm rom, and Franco kernel. It started happening when I flashed r11 Franco kernel and when I reboot the phone, it shuts down instead. I couldn't start the phone holding down the power button and I held it for over 20 seconds. I thought I bricked my phone. After few minutes fussing with the buttons, it finally booted up. However, every time I reboot my phone, it'll do the same and I had to fuss around the buttons keeping them press down for several minutes before it'll boot up to system or boot loader. As far as I can see, it can boot to recovery & system with no issue. I'm wondering if I need to flash to stock and reflash it again. Anyone knows anything about this or had same issue, please help. Thanks.

Listen like the kernel is the problem. So flash another one (easy way) or go back to stock.
If it's working fine then, it was the kernel which made this happens.
Much success

This is what happens: it gets stuck in the rebooting process. It doesn't properly shut down, it just hangs with the screen turned off.
Try flashing the stock kernel. Does it do the same?

Flashed with stock kernel and it's still doing the same thing. I also restore back to stock 4.4 with stock kernel and it's still doing the same. Do I need to unroot and root again then flash rom, kernel, and etc? Don't really want to do that if I don't have to but guess I have no choice? Thanks again.
Yep, do a factory reset and see if it's working fine again... I'm thinking so.

Update: I've decided to just wipe it all and start over by unroot and root again which solved the problem. It's rebooting correctly and not stuck in that awful black screen boot loop. Thanks.

This means, going back on to the stock firmware. This will remove the root for sure.
After that starting with rooting again.
Hope this answers your question

You have a stuck power button. Pull the battery and then put it back in. If it boots right away that will confirm it. You can try to clean it or have it replaced.

Hi all, I tried performing a factory reset on my completely stock nexus 5 and halfway thru I got the android on his back with the exclamation point. I held power and volume down to reset the device and the google screen came up and then followed by the android erasing screen. Its been on this android erasing screen for over 10 minutes.
Like I said its completely stock never rooted or anything. Any ideas?
Note, I updated to 5.0.1 via OTA earlier today.

It may take a very long time to reboot. Leave it. When I updated to 5.0 it took 25 minutes

Right but its not rebooting, its on the erasing screen. And I've been waiting literally 20 minutes. Never ever had a factory reset take this long.
