I was having that problem too and remedied it by just pressing and holding random buttons down for random periods of time lol. Sorry it's not more precise. Eventually I had the power button held down with the volume up and it ended up turning on. Was down for a good like 2-5 min though with absolutely no signs of turning on.
Was only getting that problem after I selected oem unlock from dev options menu.
When it did turn back on, I powered down completely and held vol down with power to go into recovery and selected fastboot from that menu.

Yeah, thats what happened to me as well holding both Vol up and down with power. Now I either do vol up with power or vol down with power... never both haha. But I don't think vol up with power does anything.

for whoever has this issue and needs to see this, my steps to cut it back on (finally):
1. let it sit on the charger for like 5-10 minutes
2. unplug let sit again for a few minutes
3. pressed power and both volume buttons till i felt a buzz and it cut right on.

can you get into recovery by holding the volume down button when the phone is off and then powering the phone up while still holding it down?
as long as it turns on and screen comes on, you are not bricked .. it's almost impossible to birck this phone ..
can't get into recovery at all, phone is not responding to anything just constantly stuck on initial white htc screen. have backup on sd though no way to get there through phone
how can pulling the battery not work? If there's no power to power up the screen it should die instantly
Try keeping it out for like 10 mins or more.
Then go to recovery and wipe/reinstall from backup.

And to get to recovery you have to start with the phone turned off (by pulling the battery). Then put in the battery and before you press the powerbutton, press and hold the vol- button down. When you're holding the vol- button, press powerbutton until the screen turns on, keep holding the vol button until you get into the bootloader just in case. From bootloader you can choose recovery with vol+ and vol-, powerbutton to select.
And as long as there's something happening on the screen (e.g. HTC logo) it's not bricked.
cheers Hawks556, all is good now
Is there some kind of hard (power) reset/shutdown method for this phone that I am just not aware of? This is probably the most infuriating phone I've ever worked with as it constantly wants to power back on even when it's shut down normally or when I do what should be a hard shutdown by holding the power button down. Makes getting out of a bootloop impossible until it finally decides to stay off.
Just one of the many reasons that I hate sealed in batteries.
I believe once or twice I have successfully held the power and down volume until it got me to the recovery screen when I was stuck with a boot loop or other non shutdown event.

Hold power and as soon as screen goes out release and hold Vol Dn, release when bootloader starts then use Vol keys to select shutdown and press power.

Well if I can get to the bootloader then mission accomplished, I've just never worked with a phone that will turn itself back on like this one seems to at least half the time. Holding the volume button down as soon as it cuts off seems to help send it to the bootloader if it does decide to power back on.
Yup... Should do the trick.
To be honest, in all the phones we have had there was never a way to force them off, except if it had a removable battery. Huawei, Moto, HTC, Samsung, Nokia... All would reboot if you held the power long enough.
hi
my little brother made a pattern lock and forgot the pattern, after many tries the phone erased everything
he doesn't know the email he used it on phone or the password
now it boots welcome screen and asks for the old email, i did tried make new but it doesn't works.
so i figured i should just wipe everything with hard reset
from what i read and saw some videos, i should turn off and then connect to power then wait a little, then press power and vol up for 10 seconds then release my finger from the power button.
i tried it many many times but it doesn't works.
any help?
Switch off your phone,then connect the charger to your phone and quickly press and hold volume up and power buttons,after the screen is blinking a bit release power button,but hold volume up until you are in recovery mode.
it doesn't works, it's like the vol up doesn't work when the phone is switched off, but when i power on the phone and finish booting i can vol up.
i can enter download mode (vol down + power) but it doesn't do anything.

it doesn't works, is there other way for hard reset?
ok, managed boot to recovery mode, did wibe out data, after i restarted, it asked me the email that been used on the same device before format, however my little brother can't even remember the email he used.
Send it to Care Center...they will fix it
I was updating the apps on my phone and did a reboot. The device powered off and now I can't get it to turn on. I tried holding down the power button for 20 seconds but nothing. I have it plugged into a USB C cable now. I tried holding the power button and each of the volume buttons and nothing. Does anyone else have any suggestions.
yeah call oneplus and get a new replacement coming
Hold power + volume up. I had the same issue yesterday.

Thank you so much! I tried it before but I guess I was not holding it long enough.
Why does it happen.
my OP6T is bricked and I have to turn it off to repair it with the volume + - command.
How do I turn it off? There is a special combination of buttons?
Hold volume-up, volume-down, and power buttons simultaneously. After a few seconds, it should reboot. Immediately after rebooting, hold volume-down and power buttons to get to recovery. Select power off in recovery.

I already tried but when I press turn off it has put the recovery mode back and now it's bricked on the screen where there is the message that says the phone is bricked.
Thanks anyway.

I just went through this same thing last night with my OP6. Make sure the device is unplugged from the computer, or any other power sources. Select Power Off and immediately hold the volume + button for 5 seconds and while still holding volume + plug it into your PC.
It's okay I turn off and my phone is good now.
