[Q] What works consistently to unfreeze the One?

[GermanGuy]

So, a few times my One has frozen up during install of Kernels and ROMs. I usually get it reboot after multiple endless tries of pushing various combinations of power buttons/volume keys but it can take 30 min or more. Has anybody found somewhat of a consistent method to get the device up and running quickly?

absolutely, but be aware that nandroid backups aren't cross compatible, so if you are on a custom rom and you want to restore your stock nandroid, you have to restore it to the phone in twrp then install cwm, then back up again with cwm.

Hold Power and Vol+Down for about 10 seconds (back and home will flash after about 5 seconds) the phone will reboot. Then let go for a second and hold them again to take you back into the bootloader then go back to recovery.

This did not work for me. I know that theoretically it should, but it did not.

Unfortunately, Sk8 CWM Touch did not prevent a lockup I experienced last night in Aroma flashing Renovation ROM and choosing full wipe. Man, I hope they can make Aroma more stable.

If you hold the power button down it should start blinking the back and home lights after 5 seconds. After they flash 15 times the phone will shutdown. Doesn't matter if you're in aroma, recovery, hboot... Where ever you are it should do this.

The problem is that this expected behavior is inconsistent on the AT&T HTC One. Whether I am on the stock ROM or an International ROM, it will work the first time. After reboot, if I try it again it will not work. After a few tries later on it might work again.
