Here is an easy one for somebody. I have tried holding power and volume down and power and volume up and i can not get my att one x to load to the bootloader. I have fast boot off. WTH? Can someone please assist? Thanks.
Hold volume down and power down...bottom buttons will flash 7 times...then release power button but keep holding volume down. That should get you there.

Why even take the time to respond when your answer is going to be this......
Edit ... to OP ... you're doing it wrong... wait 1 min after power down, hold vol down for 5 sec, then hold power together with vol down.

I don't believe you have to wait...What I do is reboot/power on while holding vol down the ENTIRE TIME until I get to the bootloader. I've found that releasing vol down too soon will just lead to a normal boot.

No I completely agree. I've jumped the gun personally on a shutdown a couple times and ended up just rebooting tho, so if this guy is still (which I hope and seriously doubt) trying to get to his BL, then may be the issue.. who knows.
this is my first time and i tried to flash cyanogenmod 10 for my at&t htc one x and im stuck on the rotating cyanogemod screen for about 10 mins. i cant get into the bootloader every time i try to reboot it takes me to the cyanogemod screen please help!
Go into twrp and do a factory reset...do you people even read insturctions? God dam
sorry my first time and how do you get into trwp? cause i hold down power and volume down and it just takes me back to the boot loop
Turn on, hold power 10-15 seconds, until screen goes black, let off, press n hold volume down, press power just 2-3 seconds, let off power button but continue holding vol. Down
Than select recovery
oh my god. thank you so much. you are a god.

Chill out man.
OP, hopefully you have some fastboot/adb experience. You'll have to extract CM ROM, grab the boot.IMG and fastboot it to your device... Then flash ROM in twrp and reboot.
If it bootloops again, try to flash ROM then fastboot.. Different strokes for different folks

People always think there is something wrong with their phone, but almost always its just a matter of not performing the button sequence correctly. The main thing that people don't seem to understand, is that you need to release the power button only, and keep holding volume down until the white bootloader screen comes up. People seem to be releasing both at the same time, which just causes a normal boot.
All I do is hold power for 10-15 seconds and then once the screen goes black I let go and start holding down the volume rocker until it boots into the bootloader. Much simpler in my opinion

Just bought an HTC Sensation off craigslist for $10, Said he couldn't get it to boot so I was wondering if anybody had any ideas why.
Here's what I can get to happen.
1. If I pull the battery then try to turn it on, orange light comes on screen come on for a second and then it turns off. When I plug it into a power source the same thing happens
2. if I hold volume down or up and press the power button, nothing happens on the screen but it vibrates, and continues vibrating, mind you the volume button is missing I'm using a pen to push the button.
3. Read that it could be the battery but I tried the battery in my HTC Inspire and it works fine.
Any ideas what to try next?
Also i get nothing when I plug it into a computer.

Hopefully some other folks will jump in as well. Luckily you got other phones and it's not completely shot, so we'll see what we can do.
Have you gotten the phone to completely power off, or does it sit there and attempt to boot over and over?

Don't worry about putting the sim back in for now. The best thing to do is to just rule everything out. Mash volume down as hard as you can and hold it until the htc logo goes away. Mine is tricky as hell and any variation in pressure makes me miss the bootloader altogether.
I'm still looking for some further insight.
It doesn't make sense that it would do this while still S-On, as that's the whole point of staying S-On-- not screwing up the bootloader.

I figured as much. Bad-ass. Install fastboot drivers on your PC and run the RUU mentioned in my downgrade hboot thread over on the development forum. You can get that RUU on http://androidruu.com/?developer=Ville. It's the release 309489.
I'm assuming from that horrible crappy team's logo that you're T-Mobile, US, right?

Hey I am hockey fan, like my hometown Flyers and I am T-Mobile US. Follow your threads instructions and I should be good from there?
Are you sure your phone is completely powered off? I couldn't figure that from all these posts...
You said the button lights are blinking and that's all. There is a bug happening sometimes, when display doesn't turn on and was happening also to me while I was testing some ROMs. Could you please hold that power button pressed after the button lights are blinking (that could be a warning that phone will shut down)? Keep power pressed like 10 secs after the blinking starts. Then take your finger from power button, press and hold vol down button and with other finger, press power button again for 2-3 secs while still holding pressed vol down. Phone should go to bootloader

The phone was at a black screen Rapier, I plugged in to charge and no led (orange light). The blinking lights on the bottom appeared when I pressed volume down + power. I held power button for 10-15 seconds, when I released the buttons, the phone went to the black screen and didnt come back until I mashed the buttons down

Just giving you a hard time, lol. It's basketball-only down here and most folks didn't realize we even had a hockey team until they won the Stanley Cup.
Those instructions assume S-Off, so adjust accordingly or go S-Off. I can't remember if Moonshine or Facepalm is the better way to go.

Just occurred to me-- it could be that you were holding the power button too long and it was actually powering it back off. The three buttons blinking are normal when you hold the power button down for ~10 seconds to power off (although on my phone it actually forces it to reboot).

Its cool man, its either basketball or NASCAR down there. Here we get bandwagon jumpers, whoever is winning, they go with that team lol
To download that RUU it says 3 hrs to complete download. I hope the phone will hold out that long.
I will cross the fingers this will work. Thanks for the hand

He did get it into bootloader after really mashing the volume key. My phone is similar in that light or medium pressure on the volume key will cause it to miss the bootloader.
I have to take my phone out of the case typically-- frustrating, but this phone is so fast I can overlook it.

No problem. It should charge if you leave it on the bootloader screen (you did, right?) and plug it into your computer. That'll allow you to go ahead and make sure fastboot drivers are working, etc.
And yeah, it takes FORever to download, but I guess it's free, so can't complain. That site was actually down for a few days when I was trying to downgrade my hboot. I made sure to keep a copy of the RUU on my server this time, lol.

Actually, you might even try seeing if it will go into recovery now. If it does, that will allow you to bypass the RUU altogether and just go straight to flashing.
It's your call, but I'd recommend S-Off. It makes flashing on this phone a whole lot less painful.

I am able to get to TWRP recovery and it is the latest 2.6.3.0 Selinux
My phone is having many many issues, and I can not get it to power off. I've held the power button down for minutes on end but it won't do anything. And to be specific, I'm not in a Rom trying to do this, I'm stuck in some sort of "grey" screen hell. If I plug into my computer, ADB recognizes it and will even pull a device number, but the phone will not respond to any command. I'm really just trying to get to the fastboot screen so I can hopefully flash the RUU.
Any help would be greatly appreciate.
Thanks
You have to hold power+vol up. I think it's something like 10 sec.
Hold up on volume and power at the same time, this is equal to a battery pull and as soon as the phone turns off hold volume down and power to enter fast boot.
