Phone frozen in aroma installer for trickdroid, won't reboot.
- Thread starter cdillio
- Start date
Okay I got it to show up in adb and rebooted it. Now I am stuck at the boot screen and I can't get to recovery, and it won't show up in adb.
just happened to me and adb does not work either.
Edit - Phew just fixed it. Had to install the driver again and got it to reboot with adb.

To reboot the phone without ADB, just hold down the Vol Up and power button for 9 seconds, the phone should shut down. If it doesn't try again. Might take a try or two but I've always been able to reboot that way after Aroma hard freezes.
Actually to force reboot into recovery it's power+ vol down.

I didn't mean reboot into recovery, this is just to shut the phone down after it froze and you can't do anything else. Like when Aroma crashes. I don't know if it's a real button combo, but I found that it worked, it just happened that last night that I reinstalled my rom and tweaks for trickdroid, and it would freeze. I found holding down power and immediately pushing the Vol Up button, after 9 seconds it will shut down. If it doesn't, try again. It'll work, frustrating, but it works.
On a side note, is there a manual out there somewhere that has all the button combos?
Force shutdown, recovery, bootloader, Safemode, stuff like that.
No issues force shutting down the phone using what I did, or getting into fastboot & recovery and stuff, but would be nice if there would be a writeup or a guide on this.
Cheers
Sometimes the forced shutdown doesn't work. You can sometimes use adb to reboot but that doesn't always work either. You just have to let the battery die.
put your phone under a bright light then hold power+volume down.
Holy lord, it worked! Wtf? Haha! How the hell did the light have anything to do with it?! That's bananas!
u sir , is the hope of this world . thanks
adb got stuck , buttons wont respond but nothing can ever stop this guys magic.:good:
u r the bro of the bros. Xda won't be Xda without you anymore

The leading hypothesis is that HTC built in a safe guard against you accidently managing to push PWR + VOL DWN when your phone is in your pocket.
I really wish I could remember who I got that fix from--that guy deserves a medal!

I have learnt my lesson the last time when I flashed in aroma when I figure out the bright light thing and promised never to take that chance again if i do use aroma to flash anything I dont even touch the screen I use the power button to select and vol up and dwn keys to navigate and make sure I'm at 10% battery in case I get stuck

Usually when the phone is stuck like that it is registered in ur pc as the phone being off so nothing works when the phone is frozen in aroma lol the only thing that works on the phone is the sensor in that case. I am not too sure but I know for sure the sensor have something to do with the light adjustment of ur screen light when ur in the sun it gets brighter when ur in the dark it gets dimmer even putting the phone to ur ear the sensor tells the screen to turn off and on. Even with the soft keys they don't light up until night time. So when ur phone freezes like that the only thing that knows the screen is actually on is the sensor and if ur in the dark the sensor would not detect it as being on until u put it in some light which makes the power button shut the phone off. This works on HTC Butterfly and the htc one series plenty ppl asked me about it lately on the one x and so on

You. Are. A. Genius. Just f***ing incredible. My phone was stuck on the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen for 15+ minutes with no button combinations working. Flip on the light in my room and BAM the phone reboots. You're a genius
