I unlocked my HOX+ today and rooted the phone. All went well, however I flashed my first rom the CM10 international and flashed the kernel, however the phone is stuck at the CM10 logo stage.
I have no idea how to get back in to recovery. I can;t even power down the phone so that I can re-install a nandroid backup of my original rom. The CM10 logo is just spinning around. Normally I would pull the battery but!!!
Help please
Devices with non-removable batteries have hardware key combinations to manually reboot the phone. With the One X+ that combination just so happens to be Power Button + Volume Down. Just hold those keys until you see the hboot screen.
Thanks.
It took several attempts of holding down those buttons, eventually it restarted and I was able to access recovery.

Just holding the power button will reboot phone, once the phone vibrates then hold vol down aswell. I find thats the best way to get back to the BL after a bad flash

How long are you holding it? Make sure you hold power volume down at the same exact time.

Do a battery pull then out battery back in. Then hold down the volume button and keep it down
press the power button several times that's what works for mine any way.

some times when im plugged into the wall or ubs/computer it doesnt go
If you have the fast power on option checked in power settings I think that prevents you from booting into hboot unless you do a battery pull.
Every once in a while this "download mode" comes up. I had left my phone in my room and it died while i went quickly to the neighbors. When I came back, I found my phone in this download mode. Ive seen it before and I get to it randomly. Any insight?
When you turn on your phone by holding the vol+/- and power with the USB plugged in, this is what shows up. So I'm guessing that's what's happening.. I'm not sure. Wait for an expert on the subject.

heres the thing. My phone was completely untouched and the charger was not plugged in. Its a totally different download mode.
So, I've seen this particular download mode come up when I go into download using the adb reboot download command. The volume up-down method brings up the download mode with the number of flashes and the other warnings. Not sure what the difference is.

Is it a stock ROM or you have any other ROMs and a custom kernel? AFAIK, The only way to enter download mode other than the physical key combination is to let the kernel know before it is rebooting - like 'adb reboot download' and using some custom options found in other ROMS..
Sorry, i have Serendipity 8 and kernel is Entropy. Ive experienced the same on UnNamed as well. Not a big deal. Its just a pain having to pull the battery because its a tad hard to remove it from the case.

I think you don't need to pull the battery out. Keep pressing the power button until the phone switches off. Again press the power button so that the phone boots again..
I tried that with no luck lol

This does work to reboot the phone without pulling the battery. You can also hold the power button until you see the first boot logo.
I have no problem rebooting from download mode by holding the power button. Usually takes about 10-15 seconds to work.

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.

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.

I googled and only found info that said to hold the power button for 10 seconds to initiate battery pull simulation.
However after getting stuck on the boot logo, that didn't work.
I was playing around and discovered its volume up and power for 10 seconds for the One Max.
Hope this helps someone.

its a well known fact that all HTC's with embedded battery, holding power and volume up simulates a battery pull.

I'm going to assume you didn't intend to be as snobby as just appeared to be. It isn't well known to new HTC users, which is why its posted in the help section.
If you Google the issue or search here, you only find info about using just power button for 10 seconds. But that only works if the OS is fully booted. However, that does not apply when you're stuck at the boot logo as I was.
You must use VOL UP and POWER.

It should apply at the boot logo. Well at least it does for me. You should also notice the feedback buttons bottom blinking a few times too. After 10-15seconds of holding down. Immediately switch to Power + Volume Down.
When booting custom kernels and roms that have errors. I don't get farther than that. So I know for sure it works on that screen.

Hi
I'll have that year old one max, it was rooted and I was going to get it back to stock. It was connected to comp and recovery mode while I went to open a door, was off around 5 min, my 3 year old daughter got it in her hands and now it's stuck in that boot screen "htc powered by android". Can't turn it off to get back to recovery or anything. Expensive sceet or is there anything what I could do?
It is seems international cause I live in Finland.

Try holding down the power + volume up buttons for at least 7-10 seconds. The screen will reboot and then hold power + volume down to boot into HBOOT.
