So how do i boot into the bootloader? I feel dumb for asking. Im
from my E3D
I think its same was as the Evo 4G, hold down power and down volume buttons at same time for a few seconds.
You may need to disable fastboot.

Go to settings>power and uncheck fastboot. Then boot the phone down normally. Wait for the phone to go completely black. Then wait 10 seconds. Hold the volume down button firmly. Then give the sleep button at the top a firm tap.

are you sure its completely off? have you tried holding down the power button for 10 seconds to force reboot the phone. Then you should be able to get into bootloader/recovery.
yeah do what husker just said, after the home back and recent buttons stop blinking hold power and vol down to get to bootloader again if you havent done so already

Yes i have, as i said i cannot get into the bootloader/recovery. When i try it does nothing until i release them, about 10 seconds later it will vibrate
If u have adb setup connect to your PC and type adb reboot bootloader.

I need some help, my evo powered off and my power button is not working. Is there any way to boot it up in a terminal?
If its turned off, then I don't think so. What happened that it turned off? Did you run the battery down? Did you try to s-off and semi-brick it?

While charging it it should turn on within a few minutes of taking a charge. Hold the power button for 60 seconds. Keep trying to turn it on. Do a combination with the power button. Kind of mess with it a bit. That's how I got mine to turn on after that happened to me.

The power button doesn't work at all and it doesn't power on when charging. I bought a replacement power button flex cable ribbon so I guess I can just wait for it to come in

Yeah, I guess. I've never had a power button die on me -- usually it's that the charge isn't enough to turn on the phone, which means I'd have to wait for it to charge for a while.
Sorry we weren't more help!

haha it's no problem, I can live without my phone for a bit lol
Decided to take it to sprint and got a new evo for $50 so my phone is all good now
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP recovery with Hasoon2000's all in one toolkit and then I was gonna adp push a ROM zip and it was taking forever so I just canceled it on the phone and rebooted. Now it's just stuck in the HTC boot screen and when I hold down power button the back and home buttons start flashing. What should I do next?

put it under a bright light and hold power+volume down to reboot to bootloader

The phone completely died. Do I charge it and hold it under a bright light then? What will that do?

OK, I've seen this a few times. I realize there is a light sensor on the front of the One, but the power+volume down always brings up the bootloader - that is the documented sequence (which says nothing about bright lights).
Why do people keep talking about a bright light?

its a safety feature to keep people from booting to bootloader while its in a pocket or bag. if the light sensor doesnt read enough light the phone wont hard reboot or boot to bootloader

Oh, so a bright light isn't required, just not being in darkness. Interesting. That power button is pretty recessed, at least on my build. Thanks for the info.
It actually did work for me and I fixed my htc. Thanks

Hi!
I am rooted, and was running Android Revolution HD 13.
Tried to install KitKat 4.4 and the status was aborted. I saved a back up in recovery. I entered a boot loop once I restarted the phone. I thought, "No problem! I'll just get into my recovery!" But every time I hold the Vol Down + Power button, nothing happens. It simply shows, "HTC: Quietly Brilliant" and the developer disclaimer at the bottom. Any ideas?

When your at the HTC boot screen hold the power button and both volume buttons.... You'll see your button lights flash like 10-15 times and then it will force shut down your phone. Once it's completely off try booting into recovery again.

try holding it under a bright light ..the proximity sensor can keep the phone from shutting down if the room is not well lite

So are you thinking theirs some other miracle answer to your question ?
it's a fact that holding down the power button plus vol down till you see the blinking lights (around 10 seconds)
then let off the volume it will shut off, just keep trying.

I think it may be the vol down button to be honest. It is odd. I have never experienced an issue like this before.

Had a similar problem once. Let the battery run completely dry, then charged it back up and got into recovery from a power up.

So, ever since i updated to a 4.4 rom ive been having some boot loop issues. In the past i just had to plug the phone in and itd boot right up. But today it seems to have gotten into a pickle.
About every 7 or so seconds it reboots itself back to the white HTC splash screen. I can get into fastboot, but after a few seconds it reboots again, and i cant get into recovery at all because its rebooting so fast.
Any ideas on how to fix it, and any ideas on how to prevent it from happening in the future

Factory reset is in the bootloader. Can you get into that.

Is it possible without those few seconds to some how get it to reset.. If not there really isn't anything you can do. You'll half to take your phone for a replacement.
Only other thing your can try is to fastboot a RUU

Had this same problem, it can really be a pain to try to fix. Does the charging light come on when plugged in?

Are you able to power it down completely by holding the power button or get into the bootloader by holding the volume down button?

Thanks, I didn't realize that the bootloader was rebooting as well. Sounds like he's got hardware issues.
Sounds like a hardware issue to me as well. You have a warranty? Otherwise you could try taking it apart and see if the battery has a bad connection or something. I have a feeling it's the soc or something like that though. I feel like the fact that it's happening since you updated to 4.4 is probably a coincidence.

So, i feel that it may be my power button going bad in some way. Because before it goes into the bootloop the 3 hardware buttons flash, as if the power button is being held down, and ive found that to get out of the bootloop i can just 'pump' the power button

Holding the power button down always makes the buttons flash.

Sorry misunderstood
Do you think, maybe, the power button is bad. I've seen a few reports of this.
Sounds to me like it's stuck, pressed. That would cause the repeated reboots, lights flashing, etc.
Edit-- I see you already suspect this is the problem. Never mind...
Well, i flashed back to a 4.3 sense rom yesterday and havent experienced the bootlooping issues since. For reference, before i switched back it got to the point that it was doing it twice an hour
So hopefully it is a software issue and not a hardware issue(knock on wood), id rather not go through the hassle of paying my deductible and getting a new phone
