im currently running virtuous flyer and im s off. Problem ive got it i cant get into bootloader or recovery unless i tell adb to reboot it for me.
If i try to power it off it just comes back on lol. And same when i restart it so i never get a chance to hold volume down to get into recovery.
I just reflashed the boot.img to see if that helped but its still the same.
Holding down the power for a really long time (30 seconds maybe longer?) should power off the device. Not sure, but I think this is intended to work in any mode, since battery pull is not an option for us.
i know but the problem is if i press reboot or power off the flyer from the menu it just instantly comes back on so theres no way for me to actually power down the flyer from the OS unless i hold the button down for 20 seconds
It is the boot down animation. Replace it with one from stock and or a post in the theme section

The best way i know is to always have USB debug enabled. Then adb shell > reboot if needed.

as title above. after i flash to phone rom.
during the flashing, everything is ok but while come to the last step suddenly it show "could not roll back hboot". and it just stop there, after half an hour still the same. thus, i press the power button then my problem come.
it just black screen and i can see there still power on, and no matter how long i press there power button the result is still the same--nothing happen.
while i plug in my computer it show "hs-usb diagnostics 9008" in my device manager.
could someone pls let me what is going on with my flyer?
Hold down both volume buttons and power all at the same time. It takes about 10 seconds and that will reboot your device. As soon as it restarts you can get to recovery by then holding volume down.

Or go to fastboot to shutoff
Here's what I'm looking at. I just flashed SuperJelly and the device goes into a bootloop. Since it's a new ROM, ADB is disabled, and I can't simulate a battery pull because it restarts rather than shutting down (eliminating my ability to access the bootloader). S-OFF'd with LazyPanda. I'm stuck.
Update: No longer bootlooping, now it's frozen on the boot animation.
Update: After repeated attempts, I was able to open the bootloader (although I'm still not sure how I did it.) MOD's, please delete thread.
If your s-on you have to flash the kernel separately either try fast-food or flashed image gui

For future reference, pressing and holding the power button, waiting for the cap lights to stop blinking, and then when the screen back, letting go of power and holding down Volume Down will bring you to the bootloader. It doesn't matter if you are booting, in Android, stuck, frozen, blackscreen, whatever; as long as you have even 1% battery power you will be able to use that hard coded shortcut. It's similar to how pressing and holding the power button on a laptop will forcibly shut it off and that function is not related to Windows.
On my previous HTC EVO 4G when things when wrong (e.g. stuck in a boot loop) I could pull out the battery and then go into recovery (holding power button wouldn't work). Since you can't easily access the battery on this does anyone have a way that you could force it off in case something like this happens? Thanks

power button and both volume up and down for about 10 secs.
Another is power and vol down for 10 secs, then when the phone shuts off, let go of the power for one sec, then hold again. That takes you to the bootloader which you can get to recovery from

That works too but you get a screenshot in the process.
If you just want to force power off the phone, you can hold just the power button for ~8 seconds.
I was messing around with the wifi tether app built into the custom ROM I'm using (hatka 3.0), and suddenly my phone froze and now the display wont come on. When I hold the power button all 3 buttons at the bottom flash on and off.
USB reads it fine, adb as well.
Keep holding power down a few seconds after the buttons flash and it should reboot. If not, also hold volume down and you'll reboot to bootloader and can enter recovery that way and reflash if necessary

Neither of those worked. If I hold the power button, the 3 buttons will flash as long as I hold the button.
What happens if you keep your phone plugged in to the wall and you try to reboot/boot into the bootloader?
Also worth a try using adb to reboot into bootloader
Did you try removing the battery for 10 minutes ?

Plug the phone into your computer, make sure adb is working by running the command " adb devices"
If your phone is recognized type "adb reboot bootloader" and see if you can get into the bootloader that way.
Otherwise, I would keep it charged and try to get it to power down by holding power for about 15 seconds untill it powers down.
If nothing else works I would try removing the sim and try restarting that way.
Maybe even let it die then charge it up and try powering it on. If none of that works I would say you may have a fried display.

I have been in similar territory a few times. The holding down power button until 3 icons start flashing WILL work- the time held will vary GREATLY! from 10-15 seconds to waaaay longer, keep trying, multiple times if needed. It will eventually reboot. You may need to hold the down vol button to get into fastboot then recovery so stay alert when reboot happens-it usually does when you least expect it. All of a sudden, a black screen then you need to hold in the vol button to get back.

It's a non removable battery.

please give some advice. my phone died while receiving a text and i plugged it in to charge it displayed the red light that it was charging and then i pushed the power button to turn it on and it will not boot and it will not display the notification light that it is even charging. i was running the google edition 4.2.2 and had used htc unlock about a month ago and i haven't flashed anything since. if this helps i was using firefox a few days ago and it froze so i held the power button to turn it off and it took a good ten minutes and multiple times of holding the power button to turn back on. is there a power reset or something i can do since you cant remove the battery in this phone?
Plug phone into charger
Try holding down power and volume down until
Keep holding down, you'll see the back and home buttons light up. The screen should go black and then eventually go into hboot
From there you can reboot or go to recovery and reflash or do whatever

i have tried all button combos and nothing not even home and back lights come on. i have even left it on the charger overnight and still no notification light came on. i did get in indication when i plugged it into my computer so i might try a ruu if i can. thanks for the help though.
not sure exactly how but i now have my phone working again. windows recognized the device being plugged in so i installed htc sync for the driver to be installed and then i did a 'fastboot devices' command and it showed one device connected so i did "fastboot reboot" command and then checked for devices and nothing was there. then it booted while holding power + vol down
what hboot ar eu on?
