Need help guys, for some reason last night my phone decided to act up. It said SAFE MODE on the bottom left and I was wondering why it wouldn't go away. I turned off the phone but holding the power button until it said keep holding for another 3 seconds for it to power off.
Now the phone turned off and came back on but I'm stuck in recovery mode. It won't let me do anything else, I can't go into Fastboot, Recovery or anything else. I'm pushing the Power button to try to go into Recovery but it's not working at all.
What can I do to fix this? It's weird something like would just happen out of no where. I'm using the stock rom, but I am unlocked. Please help, thanks!
I'm confused
You say you're stuck in recovery mode, but you can't get into recovery.
Can you reboot your phone by holding the power button? If so, once the screen goes black try holding the volume down button. This should get you to the bootloader, at which point you can get to recovery.
I know the EVO LTE has a safe mode, but you have to enable it when the phone boots up.
Also, you say you're unlocked running the stock ROM. Do you have a custom recovery installed?

Im sure it has been asked but i couldnt find it. I push volume down and power button and the home button button and all them flash but no recovery. My phone is currently stuck on the htc beats audio screen and would like to get it going again. So if somone has an idea on how to get it booted with a different rom without getting to recovery would be great.

u hold volume down and power till the bottom lights flash.. keep holding them and they will stop flashing the phone will shut off.. then what i do is i take my finger off the power botton for like 1 sec.. put it back on.. hold it till the bootloader screen should pop up.. then u can get into recovery from there.. works everytime
evo401's method is pretty fool-proof. However if it doesn't work you can always try plugging your phone into your computer and see if adb detects it (adb devices) if it does simply send it a reboot command (adb reboot recovery) that should automatically force it to reboot to the recovery.
I tried flashing a stock Android 4.2 JB ROM that seems legit. After flashing, I rebooted my device and saw the standard Nexus boot animation. So far, I though all was well. It's not. My phone has been stuck in this constant booting state for hours. I pulled the battery after an appropriate amount of waiting and held down the power and volume down+up button. Instead of booting into Fastboot mode, it went straight to Odin Mode. All I can do with my device is boot to Odin Mode or watch the Nexus boot animation over and over again. Does anyone know the solution to my problem or some sort of utility that will help me? Thanks.
Ahh bootloops...Have you tried pressing volume down+up first, then power? Sometimes holding power, then pressing volume down first goes directly to odin mode, not recognizing the later push of volume up. I've never used odin mode..Can you boot straight to recovery, volume up+power? And do you have cwm? If you were not on stock before, then you need a factory reset before it'll boot, and perhaps even a cache wipe.
And i'd bet youd find more help if this was posted in the nexus q&a.
I'm a bit of a noob at terminology and android settings so try to bear with me...
I'm running a deodexed vzw CleanRom v1.6.5 and I've downloaded TWRP recovery via gooManager. (Yes I've installed the recovery script from it.) Back when I had a stock rom, when I held the power + the volume up button it would go into TWRP recovery fine. But now (I don't know if it's CleanRom's fault) when I start up the phone into recovery mode using the shortcut the blue text would appear but it would restart normally.
My stock backup was corrupted for some reason and it softbricked my phone so I had to odin flash and go through all that rooting process again before restoring from my CleanRom backup via TWRP. So I don't really want to go back to stock, but I guess I can download a stock one if I really need to.
I can still enter TWRP by going into gooManager and pressing reboot recovery from there. Any solution to this?
I'm also on CleanRom 1.6.5 and it works for me... Vol up+power

To get mine to boot to recovery while phone is off I have to hold volume + and menu key at the same time. Then hit the power button until it vibrates then let go of the power button. If I keep holding the power button then the blue writing is displayed but instead of going into recovery it just reboots. However if I only hit the power button and release when it vibrates and I am still holding the volume + and menu key then it will boot to twrp recovery.
Alright, I'm feeling pretty foolish.
It was a simple user error that I really hate to admit. If I hold down the volume up and the power button and keep holding down both, the phone restarts as normal. But I should be letting go of the power button when the phone vibrates, while holding down the volume up button keeps it loading into the recovery mode. Don't know why I didn't have that problem before. I attempted Travis' idea first then experimented a little without the menu button and it worked fine.
Thanks.
Glad you got it figured out. :good:

True and that is what he said he has been doing. However what if you flash something and you get a boot loop. You can pull the battery and try again but if it boot loops again you will need to be able to get to your recovery with a non booting phone. That is why it is important to know how to boot the phone into recovery with out the need of any apps.

Precisely my thought process. I knew that at some time I'm bound to softbrick my phone again and I needed to boot recovery from startup.
So here's the deal. Yesterday after being at work all day, I came home and unlocked my tablet. A bunch of errors popped up right away about the launcher crashing and a few other things. I powered it down and turned it back on...and that's as far as I got. Every time I try to boot it gets stuck on the boot logo. I was able to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery mode and flashed xboxexpert's custom rom...but still no luck. The stupid thing won't boot and I'm out of ideas. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Bump? I need help here guys.
My friend's tablet wouldn't boot he opened the back cover unplugged the battery and used a universal charger on it for a few hours then when he tried it again it worked. Although he wasn't rooted and on stock firmware. Have you tried holding down the power and volume up for a few minutes?

It charges just fine. And yes, I have tried that. Nothing seems to work...I'm stumped.

Not sure what that would accomplish. Did it anyway tho and nothing happened...just started to boot up then turned back off.

Did you try going into recovery mode by holding Power and volume up at the same time until recovery mode pops up?
in recovery mode use volume up/down to scroll and power to select just select "Reboot Now"

I use the ClockworkMod Recovery and yes, I've done it many times.
Today I was going to reboot my htc one m8. But something bad happened.Help! stuck with formatting/cache... when trying to reboot. And I have been stuck with this for like an hour...
Then it restarts and the text disappear. Only a picture of small phone with green circle is on my phone. I can press volume+ and power to turn it off or volume- and power to restart it, but the small phone comes back every time. I don't know what to do...
please help me out....T_T
Is the phone stock, or any mods (bootloader unlock, root, etc.)?
Green circle is stock recovery. You can press vol up+vol down and power to get recovery menu options, but not sure anything there will help you.
You can likely RUU to get back up and running. But personal data will be wiped.
