My phone died today, keeps rebooting, but will not turn on, i know how to do a factory reset, but is there any way to get out the pictures before i do that?
The phone is stock, not rooted, phone was trying to connect to wifi when it happened, it turned off, and keeps trying to turn on, but shuts down again, i would very much like to get the photos before i set it back to factory settings in the recovery menu

What was your battery status before this happened? if it was really low that could be the issue.

will your computer detect your phone at all? maybe you can root it then flash a ROM and keep all of your stuff.
1. How could you do a factory reset if the phone wont start up?
2. Can you get it into bootloader mode by holding VolDown?
3. If so, can you enter recovery? (Reason for asking: on custom recoveries like Clockworkmod and I assume TWRP you can use adb from a computer, if this works in stock recovery it should be easy to pull any file from the sdcard partition)
4. Tried holding powerbutton for 10 or 30 seconds ( I forget...) to force reboot?
5. A battery pull might work, search youtube for "directfix htc one s" and youll find a video how to disconnect battery)
You can factory reset through HBOOT menu, if he can get into it.

1. From the bootloader menu.
2. Yes i can get into the bootloadermenu by holding the volume and powerbutton.
3. Can also enter recovery, in the same bootloader screen, but when i open recovery, i get the green icon with the two arrows arround, but after a while it pops up a red triangle, and after this the phone starts to boot again, with no sucess.
4. Tryed this with no sucess, reboot, but will not turn on.
5. Battery pull will not work on this htc.
I dont care if the phone dont turn on, i can send it to the repair shop, but i would very much like to get the pics out of it before set it to factorysettings, or i send itin for rep.
I have seen programs that can get back deleted pics from a hard drives or memory cards, do you guys think this will work if the phone turns on after i do a factory reset
Took a factory reset today, and downloaded a program to my pc to recover lost data from the phone, but it did not find anything But the phone looks ok now
hey guys
i have a HTC Sensation that is password locked, but the real problem is that it won't enter recovery mode.
the volume down key is working as i've tested it in a "sos call", the volume up doesn't work when the phone is turned, but that's not important as it's not needed.
is there any other way to get into recovery mode?
also, if i hold the up key with the power switch, it boots up in "safe mode"

did you try to pull out the battery?
if not take it off,put it again
then hold volume down + power button until it shows the bootloader screen

several times sir, even went as far as draining the battery inside the phone completely, trying it with another battery, leaving the battery out of the phone for a whole day...
are there no usb hacks or something like there is with the samsung android phones?

Are you on a stock rom? if you are the you would have to have un-ticked fastboot from the settings to be able to boot into the bootloader...
try to attach the device to a usb port of a laptop and see if the usb debugging symbol shows up in the status bar. if it does you can use the adb command adb reboot recovery to force a jump into the recovery.

can you take a photo of the pattern lock screen
also what do you know about the device? is it eu,uk,us? also what carrier is the device on? is it on ice cream sandwich or gingerbread? you may be able to run a RUU (rom update utility) on the device, updating the firmware and remove the lock that is currently on the device.
So, no bootloader? When you hit vol down + power it should land you in the bootloader screen, where you then select recovery. Have you tried with the cover, SD, and SIM removed from the phone?

you will need to talk to the owner of the phone, without that info your stuffed tbh. with fastboot enabled in the stock rom you cannot boot into bootloader. without the info like what carrier they are on you dont know what ruu to run to reset the device. without usb debugging you cannot use the pc to send commands as far a i am aware :/ assuming you have the correct htc drivers installed connect the device to the pc, open cmd in your adb directory and type in adb reboot bootloader and see if it responds. again without that info you've pretty much had it. you can try to flash ruu's from the pc at random in the hope that you find the correct firmware and cid, but without usb debugging on there is no guarantee that the ruu will even find it.

yeah, tried the adb reboot recovery, no dice. just error, no device connected.
the owner bought it 2nd hand, so he has no clue, i'm just going to return it. pity that htc doesn't have a "usb key" like samsung that forces "download mode" on the android devices

You can install the drivers from here!
Is your bootloader locked?
you can try to enter the pattern a couple of times until the phone gets locked for 30s.
eventually on the bottom you will then see a "forgot pattern" button (or something like that)
to unlock the phone you have to enter the google-account name/email and password
good luck

When you say it wont go into Recovery, what happens? If you're getting the "recovery error" keep waiting it'll pass that screen

When I try to go into Recovery the phone shows the Samsung Note 8 screen for a few seconds and restart and continues doing that.

MAYBE you're not holding the buttons long enough? Try to keep holding the buttons and see if it gets past the "Samsung Note 8" Screen
It's day 3 of using Nougat. So I wake up in the middle of the night, check something on my phone. Afterward, in order to shutdown the phone, I long press power button, select "Power off", press "Power off" and then now all of a sudden, I have to pass an aptitude test in order to get the phone to shut down. Are you kidding me? Please tell me there's a way to disable the PIN requirement in order to shutdown the device.

I think there's a way to wipe lockscreen security in TWRP. Since I'm not locked out of the device, I can just go ahead and remove my PIN in settings. But my issue is that I would like to keep my security features, such as a PIN to access my phone. I just don't want to have to use a PIN to turn it off.

From what I read, it's a feature of Nougat to prevent a lost or stolen phone from being able to be shut down. Annoyingly, they don't always allow an option to disable a new feature.
