[Q] htc one s in CWM bootloop cant enter bootloader

phone :
htc one s
rooted
cyanogenmod
CWM recovery v6.0.5.1
so the story is :
i forgot to charge my phone last night and it ran out of battery and died. when i plug it into charger or PC, it immediately boots into CWM without pressing anything and wont enter anything else. it also doesnt seem to charge in CWM and when i try to power it off, it simply goes into CWM again. simply put, i cant turn it off or charge it. phone was working perfectily fine before.
what i'm trying to do now is trying to boot it into bootloader and try to charge with fastboot script (i did it before) so i can get enough voltage to boot it into the OS. but the phone refuses to enter bootloader by any means and simply goes back into CWM.
tried holding the vol down + power button for 10 secs till it restarts, release power and hold it again while keeping the vol down pressed. but it still enter CWM (usually this is what i do to enter bootloader)
i cant restart to bootloader from CWM either (any buttons to power off, restart, boot to anywhere from CWM simply brings it back to CWM)
holding only the power button till it restarts also brings it back to CWM.
holding the vol down + power button without releasing them simply gives me screen flicker and it loops that way. i assume that made the phone soft reset repeatedly?
holding the vol down + power and releasing power once it resets and tapping power also brings it back to CWM.
here's a simple video showing the phone : youtu.be/PDvskMZIHAM
any help would be appreciated. thanks.

solved : as i noticed that the phone charging led turns on whenever i hold the power button. i tried holding the power button for god knows how long while plugged in. i released it once my finger was tired and cant hold it anymore and it boots into cyanogenmod.

Can't get to recovery.

Hi.
I was wondering if you can help me.
I cannot get to recovery on a non rooted phone.
I press the power and volume down keys but the lg logo just keep on flashing after about 25 sec.
How do I get to recovery please?

Please tell me why you would like to enter recovery. If you are trying to factory reset, which is basically only option there, you can do that from the OS. However, if you cannot access it, you can access recovery by using this button combo.
Power down your phone, and then hold down the power button and down volume at the same time. I forgot if this is download mode or recovery, but tell me if it works. Don't have my LG V10 on me atm.

I am trying to reset the battery stats.
I tries holding the buttons down, I get the LG logo and then after 20-25 seconds the phone reboots and the logo is displayed again. If I stop holding any of the buttons the phone boots (after AT&T logo).
So it does not work and I don;t know why.

hold power and vol down, when the logo pops up wait 2 secs, then let go of power for about 1 sec, then hold it again.
trick is to not let go of power down the whole time. my phone died on me today, so i had to figure this out.

GT-P5110 unable to reboot directly to recovery after twrp installation

full stock, unrooted, GT-P5110
... connect to odin (3.12 PC)-> uncheck auto reboot -> install twrp -> PASS -> unplug cable from usb
but all I seem to be able to do is reboot into system.
I :-
hold power button for 1 sec, 2 secs, 3 sec.... trying to just turn it off (instead of reboot)
hold vol down + power button,
hold power button + tap volume down,
just hold vol down,
tap power button (does nothing), only long press restarts.
hold power button till screen goes black and then hold vol down + tap pwr button
hold power button till screen goes black and then hold vol down + hold pwr button
hold power button till screen goes black and then hold vol down on its own
search forum
pull hair out
type this
each time reinstalling twrp
any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
thanks

To reboot to recovery you need to hold volume UP + power.

well that's strange, as, on my device, from off:
Volume UP + power takes me to download mode... I have done this several times and it asks me to confirm by then pressing down.
AND, from off
Volume DOWN + power takes me to recovery.
and doing a search, via google and xda all agree with me.
.. but thanks
I never said I couldn't get into recovery... I cannot get from odin into recovery without it first rebooting and therefore wiping my flash.
edit: So I tried it anyway, and got back into download mode, which in a way is kinda good news as, my logic, if I can get back into download mode from a reboot then I should be able to get into recovery from a reboot.

Same same but slightly different

I am having the exact same problems and tried exactly the same things. I am just not able to install twrp because of this. ( I read that it overwrites the recovery with the stock one when you are not going straight into recovery mode after installation) I am stuck at the “Samsung Galaxy note 10.1” screen if try to go straight into recovery.
What is strange though is that with my device: VOLDown (towards the power button) + Power button takes me to download mode and the other combination supposedly to the recovery mode.
This is so frustrating. Done this so many times with other devices but this one just does not give up… I just want to get rid of all bloatware and other crap…..

I've given up, for now, tried every combination I could think... I have a sneaky feeling it must be rooted first. It is the only thing I haven't tried doing.

I am now trying to root it first

I am currently doing just that! Using the files from autoroot . chainfire . eu (can not post links yet haha) . I will let you know how it went!
UPDATE:
It worked! I rooted my device first. After that I flashed my recovery via the TWRP app. I also must say that my device is the GT-N8010 (p4notewifixx). I got confused of all the different models. Still I think it will work with your model aswell! Good luck!

Attempted to flash Android 10, I think I just brick my phone permanently.

After flashing Android 10 Full firmware from [ZS630KL][WW] FOTA update links (new update 3 Nov 2019)
I can't boot into the system, even fastboot mode! now my phone just keeps reboot itself(stuck at "Powered by Android"), I had tried to shut it down(by pressing power + vol down) and nothing happens.:crying:
Any ideas? Is this a fixable situation or a main board changing situation?
Rooted (warranty voided)
Flash it in TWRP (I know I shouldn't, but fota not working at all )

If warranty void, i think there's nothing that can be done. My brother's device is Asus 6z(Indian version), which has got a Motherboard Malfunction(A quick google search based on the symptoms gave this result). However, you can get into fastboot mode by Holding Power button and Volume down together, release both when the Asus logo disappears. Then press and hold Volume UP button.

I tired but nothing happen

do you get any response to fastboot? maybe its already there.
Try pwr then vol-up, vol-up then pwr, pwr-vol-down... and hold pwr for half a minute or so. I was able to get mine back into fastboot by using one of these combinations

How to unbrick Samsung a30s not turning on + screen flashing green after failed TWRP flash

Sup, just had this problem like 30 minutes ago lol, and then I said to myself "would that even work?..." and guess what, it worked!
I guess you want to know how to unbrick it lol, here's how + ur welcome + i bet you thought your phone bricked lol
Press down vol- + power until it powers on and keep on holding down, as you can see it keeps on rebooting as long as u keep on pressing down the buttons, now we have to get in download mode, its kinda tricky tho -
First put the usb into the charger BUT not completely, halfway. Now press vol- + power and hold until it restarts AND as soon as the screen goes black
1- completely connect the USB
2- release the power button (dont release the vol - button) and at the same time press the vol+ button
Thats it, you should've booted into download mode - if it didnt work and the screen went green and crashed, keep on trying and do it as quickly as you can. If you cant pull it off, ask me. at least your phone isn't bricked, it's only tricky to fix it.
Once you're in dowload mode, use EFTSU flash tool and flash it with your firmware version (you can find it in etsu . com)
You can also flash it with ODIN and the non-modified recovery image, or just factory reset it with the original ROM and start again.
and this time around be careful trynna twrp flash, me too ofc, i wont even do it anymore, i was just messing around lol
