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.

Hey Guys,
so ive been messing around with this little phone and think i might have managed a hard brick. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
was attempting to relock the bootloader and flashing my local 4.4.2 rom and on the command prompt when i reached flash system.img parsechunk lines, they failed. as it said permission denied.
Tried to continue with no luck. Restarted my phone and now cant get into recovery and no boot, the only screen i see is the white warning bootloader locked screen, get a vibrate and then it turns off again. Any ways to flash without Recovery or Fastboot or am i completely out of luck?
Sorry im new to motorolas, had no problems messing around with my old SGS2
Thanks in advance everybody.
did you try this ?

I've been in a few situations where I thought I had 'bricked' my phone. One way that worked (sometimes) was to long press the POWER button for a very long time(minutes), then release and (sometimes) it would reboot.
The usual way to the fastboot menu is - power off (which yours probably is), then hold vol. down and press power button for 5/10 seconds and release both.
Good luck!

Yea tried both options, no luck!
The only screen i can get now is the bootloader unlocked screen or the white charging screen when plugged in. After that the screen will stay on but is completely black.
Success I can get into fastboot now!!!! not sure why i could not before

Hello,
I have a black nexus 5, recently updated to 4.4.3. And I've got those random reboots. One of these the phone don't come out of it. Stays off. When I try to turn on It only shows the Google Logo, vibrates and then turns off, sometimes it stays bootlooping for a while.
I've tried to get to the recovery menu, and I couldn't. I've send it to the LG here in Brazil, and they can't fix it.
Anyone knows any alternatives?
Have you tried to reflash the stock images? http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
Why you could not enter the recovery menu? What happend?

Remove usb cable and press power buttom for 30secs then press volume_down and power buttom. You have to be in fastboot mode. Report me back

I have just tried this, and When it goes t the recovery interface, it shuts down then bootlooping again. I`ve read some posts and they say that it is a power button problem.

Let's hope for the best.
Hi there,
Kindly help... I successfully installed B512 on my TL10 using force upgrade method, afterwhich I changed recovery to TWRP 3.0.2 using mobopx v2.2, which was also successful. And then I installed SuperSU 2.46 via TWRP, then cleared cache/dalvik. But upon rebooting system, I get a blank screen, even after waiting for more than 15 minutes.
And so I tried going to TWRP (Vol+ and power), which was successful, in order to boot to bootloader, with the intention of loading back the stock bootloader via adb, so that I can force install B512 from my microSD card again. It seemed to install fine...
However, at this point, I cannot reboot to bootloader (Vol- and power) anymore, I only get blank screen. Trying recovery (Vol+ and power) doesn't work either. Rebooting normally gives me the same. I cannot by any means connect via adb now.
Is there any way to unbrick my phone at this point?
Thanks so much. Cheers.
Works entrance for the recovery (Vol+ and Vol- and Power)?

What happens when you do a Vol up + power?

The phone "doesn't want to turn off" bro. It has fully discharged, but as soon as I plug the charger in, it immediately powers up. When it does, now it shows the Huawei logo. But it's stuck there, and if I press the power button for a few secs, it will power down, but immediately power up again...

Let it get fully charged first. Then remove the charger and keep the Vol up and power button pressed for ~10 secs or more, and see where it takes you.

Done bro. Although I must say, I'm kinda back like yesterday when the phone is just helplessly discharging until it drops dead. Pressing vol+ and power restarts the phone, but I'm still stuck at the logo...

You seem to be in a sticky situation bro. Your recovery seems to be broken because in stock recovery Vol up + power should ideally take you to recovery and not restart. If you could somehow boot into fastboot mode then it could open up some options to bring your phone to life.
With no way to connect to the phone the only options left are the hardware buttons. I am sure you'd have tried them already, but just in case you have not, try the other 2 key combinations also, Vol down + power and Vol up + Volume down + power, for ~10 secs, to check if any of these either forces a factory reset or boots the phone into fastboot mode.

Go back to stock recovery reflash stock rom make sure you have a unlocked bootloader......all remember that Google is your friend.....

That's correct bro. Although it appears from adb that I was able to install the stock recovery, I cannot access it with Vol+ and power.

Yes, I did. And I can't even boot to bootloader after all that... The phone only seems to charge, but is stuck at the logo.
I'm ready to send this to Huawei's service center. Is there anything more I can do at this point before I do that? Thanks so much.

Thanks bro, but that's what I did, or at least was planning to do. After rooting B512 via TWRP, the phone got stuck at the logo. And so I tried to install stock recovery, which it did, in order to reflash the stock ROM. But at this point I'm still stuck at the logo, and I can't access recovery and BL anymore. The BL is unlocked right from the start...

Did you try volume down and then plug USB in on computer then command prompt fast boot reboot it may work.

Go ahead, send it to Huawei service centre. They'll have ways to reach the internal memory after opening up the device.

Thank you for this suggestion brother. I tried exactly as you described, however, the phone looks badly discharged, and while the screen was blinking/showing the red battery icon, it doesn't seem to want to charge. I waited around 5 minutes, but nothing seems to progress from here.
And so now, I moved the USB cable to a proper charger, and now it seems to be charging, with the LED light a steady red, and the screen the normal red circle with "0%" inside. It seems to be charging at the moment, although I really have to wait until it shows "1%" until I can surely say so.
One thing that's different now is that the phone hasn't turned on (by itself) yet. And at least this looks promising.
I'll let you know what happens in a while... Thank you!

Hi all,
My Nexus 5was running stock Android M till last week and I wanted Android N. So I rooted my phone installed TWRp and loaded android N by @santhosh. Everything went well but at times some apps kept crashing including TWRP. So I decided to to do a clean wipe. I did a clean wipe from recovery but after that my phone is not booting up. It's stuck on bootloop.
I am not able to boot into recovery mode also is there any way to save my phone?
Pardon my English.
Are you able to access the bootloader (hold power button + vol down until the phone boots)
I suggest using NRT to flash a stock ROM.

No i can't. It will go to bootloader When I press volume down + power but only for a second or so.. After that it'll bootloop.

Sounds like a dead power button?
Not sure, never had this problem.
But that is a common issue
The fact that the phone is not detected by the phone makes it difficult to re-flash a stock ROM.
If it is a power button issue, I recommend removing the motherboard, cleaning around the power button with pure isopropyl alcohol., quickly press and release the power button using a bit more pressure that usual, replace the motherboard, and try again.
