I use CWM that you get after you root your phone.
quick boot
I hold down the power button for 2sec to get the shutdown menu and if I hold it for more than 5sec it will reboot... I don't see why I need an app for that
anreboot: reboot, recovery, bootloader, off options

i'd rather press soft keys
If you don't have a rooted phone try 'Fast Reboot'.
Although it does not close the device down it closes all Apps freeing up resources, memory and resets the phone if it has any errors.
Read the reviews... Many swear by it and I find it actually works very well.

I have tried, but it won't reboot, just switch off.

Strange... It should reboot. Are you rooted or changed the stock firmware?
Quick boot does what you want by the sound of it. Free version on market.
Can set short cuts up as well if you don't want to go into the app itself.
Although for any app to trigger reboot you need root.

Everyday I learn something new about Android, thanks.
Hello falks..
my HTC one x phone won't respond ..
this happened when I maybe disabled one of the system features by the Carot app ..
Now when I open the phone, I get a BLANK screen .. and I can't access any of the phone features .. and when I press the power button, it just restart and the same thing happen again and again.
I couldn't upgrade the system through my computer, because when I plug it, it says CHARGE only ! and I can't change it.

Can you get into TWRP?
Hold the power button for ~10-15 seconds (lights should start flashing) and hold down volume down.
You can let go of power when you see the HTC screen, but not volume down

What ROM were you on? I suggest reflashing the ROM.
don't forget to flash the boot.img, then the ROM

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to flash a custom ROM, and every method requires me to unlock the bootloader via HTCdev, but I have two problems:
1) I can't boot into bootloader. When I hold power + volume-down, the phone boots into safe mode (I don't think that's normal right?). I took care of this by using adb and (adb reboot bootloader) to get into the bootloader.
2) When I'm in the bootloader, the power button (to make any selections) doesn't work. So I'm always stuck at the last screen that says "Unlock bootloader?" and I just have to select "yes" with the power button, but I simply can't!
Does anyone know how I can get the bootloader to work normally, or get my power button to work when I'm in fastboot?
Thanks in advance!
Did you get around this? I keep having the same issue!

Read the screen on your phone , you got to use volume up or volume down button to select yes or no , i think volume up is for yes and than press power

Maybe certain fastboot commands may help a little, if the power button is damaged. (Maybe take off the back cover and see if you can then push it down properly..)

And not exactly.
If I recall correctly,
vol down means moving down on the list
vol up means moving up on the list
& power button is 'select'

When you are in that screen that i showed you, what happens when you press Volume up , does it select on the scree YES unlock the bootloader (may avoid you warranty) ? If yes it select's than press power button to continue... and you will unlock you bootloader if not i don't have anything else on my mind :/

Volume up works but the power button doesnt
I'm also stuck in this screen for the past week, I got this phone for free, but now I want to root it but I'm stuck in this screen. I've tried several tools like kgs1992utility, hasoon2000's utility, even the windroid tool for htc sensation, but somehow I simply cannot get passed this screen. Is there any adb commands to replace the power button to select?
only the volume down button works, but it works in the opposite way(ex volume down actually takes you up not down) -__-
cant finish power button will not select yes
I am having the exact same problem the power button suddenly will not work on yes but does on no WIERD and very FRUSTRATING

So I had the exact same issue. I pressed the power button and volume down together and the phone rebooted back into the bootloader, this time it says *** UNLOCKED*** at the top of the screen.

Hello.
A friend of mine brought me an s6 that is hardbircked and asked me to fix it. I cannot enter safemod or download mode. The only thing that i cand do is enter into a thing that says "enter boot mode" where i can navigate but cant select anything.
So i was wandering if there is any solutinon for this or is the phone dead?
Right first of hold down all the buttens ( vol up , down, home , power) and the phone should turn on then go to black , once its black , hold power + vol down to accsess download mode then flash the right firmware for the device , this is how i fix my s6 when i hard brick it
if this dosnt work do you know what your friend did to it to hard brick it and the model number ( flash a bad kernal , change the bootsplash badly etc)

Thanks for replying,
It didn't enter download mode, it shows the same "Select boot mode" menu. My friend said that the phone was rooted and he tried to unroot it. What do you think i should try in this situation?
Can u send a image of this "select boot mode" menu because ive never encounted this menu as far as i remeber

Normaly you use volumes to go up and down etc and the power butten is to select , so how do u acsess this menu , does it just happen when u turn it on or etc
EDIT In your image does it say vol down is select , i cant read it cause of the reflection of the light sorry
PC recognise the phone while in this mode?
Try some ADB commands to see if you have acces to it. If that, then type adb reboot bootloader and maybe you're lucky to get it to work.

I dont have acces through adb. I've tried. I was thinking maybe an usb jig would help. What do you think?
You can try usb jig as it's only few bucks on ebay. If not maybe jtag and that's it.

send me the photos on this +91 9023564990
Finish the battery power of the phone and leave it for 2 days or so (in Download mode and *not* connected to odin) for faster battery usage, or anywhere as long as it on
After that power it to recovery mode with the volume up button and the power button but press em right after inserting the power cord (cable to your phone to charge it so it can boot to recovery)
When the Samsung thingies pop up release the power button and don't release the volume up button
Press till u see the recovery menu and then wipe cache and then factory reset it :cyclops:
Mostly likely it's gonna need the previous Google account details, I'll research on how to frp bypass the Google lock
