Hello all,
I rooted my HTC One XL a couple weeks back, installed CM10 (all was working fine), and in the process of installing the latest CM10 nightly, something went wrong. Flashed boot.img, then rom, then gapps. Wiped cache and dalvic cache, asked TWRP to restart system. This is where it's stuck now. It won't go past the htc logo, and I can't get into the bootloader by holding down power+vol down.
What did I do wrong? Is this fixable? Any help is greatly appreciated!
H8rift is working on a solution right now. If you can flash back to a backup? I would do so.

First off, can you get into TWRP, and do you have a backups of the time before you flashed the rom. When you hold power+vol down are you holding power until the home back and kill app buttons flash 6 times then release and hold vol down around 7 seconds till you see the screen with android skateboarders(Bootloader)
Second, I think their is a kit (Hasoons) Which you can try to boot you into bootloader or twrp recovery. But if your phone powers on, then i think your device is not a paperweight yet so dont worry to much as i think it can be fixed.

I did the same thing with my phone. Now I am successfully running ViperXL 2.1.2
Are you able to "fastboot oem lock" from the fastboot cmd prompt?

I can't get into TWRP, and I have backups on the device. I am sorry for being a dummy, but you're saying the manual way to enter the boot loader is to hold power+voldown for 6 flashes, then release the power button but hold the voldown for 7 more seconds? I've just been holding down both for the full 15 flashes. I am going to look up Hasoons rn.
THANKS!!

You are supposed to hold Power and Volume Down until the screen shuts off, then let go of power and continue holding volume down

So your saying you can't get into bootloader but, you got into TWRP?
The correct way to get into bootloader is hold power+vol down until screen goes off, then release power button.
If that doesn't work you can try to open bootloader through the fastboot cmd prompt.(if you ahve Win7 just open the file where fastboot is, hold shift+right click and you can open the prompt from there)

What he said, but after your phone powers off, when i held it for around 7 more seconds, it booted into bootloader when i did it .But try both methods.I was stuck in a bootloop as well, you will be fine. I forgot commands for fastboot, but if anyone wants to tell them to him he could prob get into fastboot by command prompt mabye?

type "fastboot devices"
your serial number should be on the screen if fastboot recognizes your phone. but I was always able to get into bootloader through commands on the phone.
Also, I can't thank Absolutelygrim and a few others whom I can't think of their names for helping me out of that situation.
ANYTHING Absolutelygrim says, I would listen and take note.

It's always best to Nandroid before you flash a ROM.
I didn't and I almost made my phone into a very expensive paperweight. Thank god for RUUs.
I also tried to flash a ROM that was for the international version and not the XL which is our phone.
Mods will eventually Close it, just ingnore the thread and it will be closed soon.
If you want to, I know posting a thread in here can amount to a long wait time, just shoot me a PM and I'll give you my email. I get that directly to my phone so I'll be able to reply a lot quicker.
I have the same problem as this guy, but when I hol the volume down button, it has no effect... I hold vol down and power, lights flash 15 times, I keep holding volume down while phone reboots, but no matter how long I hold it down, it just stays at the HTC legal screen.
Was running CM 10.0, and updated to 10.1 (9-3-2012 nightly) with 3-03-2013 GAPPS, via TWRP. Made a backup before flash, Installed both the zips succefully, pressed reboot, and now it doesn't get past the legal screen, and no button pressing is getting me back to TWRP =(
I replaced the screen once, and the volume buttons behaved differently after I re-assembled. Both the buttons work, but they act differently. Pressing vol down or vol up both bring up the volume dialog, but instead of increasing or decreasing the amount, it swtiches between mute and non mute. So I'm thinking the button is not actually doing a 'volume down' action. Any thoughts?
AND, how do you actually turn this device off? It keeps turning itself back on after the 15 flashes.
Thanks for any help.

Hey people my first post so you can call me whatever you want
Here is the thing:
I rooted the phone, installed a custom ROM and such, on the process I guess I installed this Clockwork Mod Recovery v5.8.3.1.
Well I wanted to change the ROM so I downloaded the new one (lastest trickdroid) and follow the steps, BUT!, when trying to acces the fastboot thing on that menu that can't remeber the name of, I jsut can't get into it.
When I tart the phone pressing volume down + power, instead of going to that menu it goes to clockwork mod. I was suposed to "Flash the stock boot.img from the ROM with fastboot", but well I dont know what I did or wahtever, I can't aces that menu.
What should I do?

I am having what seems like the same issue with my phone. Just posted a thread not too long ago asking for help. One person (a SR. Member) informed me to try to restore using a NANDROID backup (which I dont have). Going off of his advice, if you have the backup, try that. If not, we both seem to have the same problem. Good luck with your issue, I will be checking both our threads for solutions from now on!

Extra Help (Maybe)
Hey again, I found some useful information that allowed me to get into my bootloader! If you are still stuck in CWM, use the volume down button to go down to the "advanced" button at the bottom of the list. Since this is a button that leads to another list and not a direct action, you can hold down the power button when highlighted over it and turn the phone off. From there, just hold Volume Down and Power as you would normally do to boot into the bootloader. Hope this helps since it worked for me!
So:
-Navigate to "advanced" (Just highlight over it)
-Hold power button for 10-15 seconds
-Phone should power off
-Volume Down + Power to boot into Bootloader
-Profit?? (Just Kidding )
Again, hope I could be of some assistance!

well I dont know what I did. I just turned the phone off normally. Then did the power + b down, held it for about 6 seconds, relesead the power then the volume and BOM, bootlader appeared, hmmm okay I guess
Have a look at fragkiller1 thread for fixing your issue.
well now I can't even get into CWM sigh
A brief flash of a screen appears now while booting it, but it just skips to the actual OS. I have the fast boot disabled ohh man what do now? DId I mess up something?

thanks it worked perfectly. I thought it only worked powering off and turining it on and holding volume down.
edit: sigh now I have another problem, after using fastboot usb with the Boot_Flash_Script from trickdroid, the phone is stuck at the the screen that says"this build is for development pourpuses only..." and it won't go further

Ya, make sure you got the right rom and get yourself back into the bootloader and you should see recovery there then do a full wipe and flash the rom and also if you feel you might of flashed the wrong boot.img reflash it to make sure.
So it's over, all solved.
I tried to install a new ROM but CWM got me an error mounting the SD, then I installed another recovery (TWR) and installed the new ROM (viper one s) flashed the boot.img and now everthing works wonders, for now.
Thanks a lot Darknites for trying to help me I really appreaciate that

Np dude glad you got it sorted but ya TWRP is way better for the sd mount and if you have 1.09 or lower Hboot it can also flash boot.img.

Then you some how doing it wrong then because every person I said that too has said that it helped them get into the bootloader. As soon as it turns off let quickly let go off the power button but still keeping hold of Vol- and then press and hold the power button. And as added bonus flash TWRP recovery when you get into the bootloader then you wont have it booting into recovery like it's doing now.

All your way does as i stated on the other forum is it goes off a green line flashes across the screen, the charge light goes on and off a few times, green light flashes again and then it goes into clockwork recovery. even telling adb to reboot into bootloader does not work

Em not really most of it is copy and paste anyway but before doing that I think it be best you flash TWRP recovery so it should be easy to get into the bootloader again.

So this is the first time i've borked one of my phones. I have a verizon GS3, i had TKrom b4.0 installed, decided i didn't like it and went to restore my previous backup. It didn't do something right cuz it still had the custom splash screen from TKrom, and it wouldn't go past that. I then clean flashed the newest carbon nightly 10-9-2013 and it said my phone appeared to not be rooted, so i swiped to install su (probably my error) Anyway now it won't boot up or go into recovery (TWRP). Any help would be greatly appreciated, i know this site is filled with knowledgeable induviduals so i don't doubt someone will have the answer. Thanks so much..
Well if you can't get into recovery then your only option at this point is Odin. You can get into download mode right (Power + home + Vol down)

Yeah i can get into Odin, but i'm not sure what to do after that.

On my son's S3, I couldn't get into recovery one day using that. What ended up working was holding down those (3) buttons and when it vibrates, release the power button but keep the others held down until the splash screen for the recovery tool shows.
Hi, my Shield is stuck on its boot screen, the one with the green shield and the mist whatever. I've tried restarting it but nothing is happening. I don't even know what caused it, I just picked it up and opened it and it was on its boot screen. Last thing I knew before it, it was working perfectly fine. I don't have recovery installed... It is rooted but I doubt that would cause this... any help?

That's happened to me before.have you tried leaving it off for a few minutes and then restarting it. maybe try while its on the charger.If that doesn't solve it I would attempt to boot into stock recovery and perform a FDR. either way someone will get you back up and running again.

Nvidia Shield Portable
My sons Shield Portable is stuck on the screen that has a dead looking Android that says no command after trying to install a factory update. I have tried holding down the power button the home button and back button to try and recover. The recovery mode did nothing. The restart bootloader did nothing. I have pressed the power button and the home button at same time to try and wipe the data. I did wipe and hit the factory reset once I did that I hit reboot. when it started back up it still says the same thing. Please help
