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.

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.

So this just happened to my nexus 10.
I have no idea what it is. And it isn't going away. It says to not turn it off or else I would've already tried to reboot. Help please! Thanks in advance.
My Nexus 10 is better than your tablet. Hah.
Also I am not rooted. Stock everything.
Here is a better photo of it.

I thought maybe it was a navigable recovery... So i accidentally pressed the power button. Won't boot now. Guess I'll be sending back to Google...

It looks like the bootloader, which is accessed by holding the volume buttons and power on boot. See the arrow that says Start pointing to the power button...you press it and it boots. It should not have bricked just by exiting it should reboot.

Idk what's up with mine then... It's won't boot. Put on the charger for a bit and still nothing.
Edit: I just held down volume and power for about 15 sec and it vibrated and rebooted! Problem solved although I wish I knew what the problem was.

There was no "real" problem, you somehow just managed to enter download mode by (accidentally?) pressing the power and volume down buttons at the same time while the device was powered off. If it happens again, don't panic, just press and hold the power button until you see the Google logo.

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.

holding the power button for 10-15 seconds will shut the phone off
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.

I installed the GSAM battery monitor root companion. When it asked me to reboot I pressed reboot. Screen then froze and then went black when I hit the power button. Phone is now dead and unresponsive. No lights when plugged into the charger. Sound does play when phone is connected to the computer, and shows in device manager as Android Phone under Other Devices and HTC One_M8 under Portable Devices, which makes me think I can bring it back, but so far no luck. :crying: Phone is rooted and s-off.
Phone finally restarted after what seemed like an eternity. I was pressing combinations of the power and volume buttons, and I'm not sure if it was something I did or if the phone just finally rebooted on its own. I wasn't completely freaking because the phone was still showing as HTC_One_M8 in device manager, and not QHSUSB_DLOAD or something like that, but in any event that was pretty scary. GSAM root companion tells me it's now property installed. I've seen at least one other post in the reviews for the app of something like this happening to someone else, so I don't think it's just me.

Next time you brick, hold vol up and power for 10 seconds with phone unplugged. Then either power on or hold power and vol down to enter boot loader. This works best when not plugged in.
Thanks. I was trying to remember the key combo for a simulated battery pull, and I guess power+volume up is it. I think that's what I was doing when it finally restarted.

I don't think this is the right forum, but I couldn't find one specifically for this device.
I'll start with a brief explanation...
I work in a motel where things are constantly being left behind by guests. Policy requires that we hold lost items for 30 days. At which time employees can take said items. I always get the phones/gadgets.
So, I just got one of these LG Optimus Dynamic devices. However, it won't turn on (probably the reason they left it behind). When I press the power button, I just get a solid white screen... Is there any way to fix this device, or is it just a paperweight at this point?

@Can0dope
Remove battery. Wait 10 seconds. Put battery back in. Hold Volume Down and plug an Usb cable in it (USB must be in PC with an os running also). Tell me what happens.
@christi9503 I followed your instructions. It booted up to the white screen again, the screen flashed, it made a boot sound, and vibrated. A crack has recently appeared under the screen. Touch is still responsive.

That is strange that should get you in the emergency mode. Try again holding button up. If this does not work power it off hold Volume down+Home button+Power. wait 8 seconds release power. tell me what happens.
