It would be helpful it you told us what you did to get your phone into this state.

no i can't get into fast boot... ://
I suggest you read the notice from jcase... I'm guessing you were runiing gb?

you ruu was too old - this version doesn't have the required drivers for SLCD.
That means, you phone probably does work, but the screen is black.
I don't know how to solve this (probably by flashing the newer RUU, Version 2.29....) exactly, but hopefully this gives you a clue where to look for a fix.
There were many people experiencing this after Froyo was available. They did the ota-update, then noticed, that it wasn't possible to root with the new bootloader (Version 0.93ish) at that time, which was installed along with the froyo-ota, so they tried to downgrade back to 2.1 and ended up where you are. (bootoader .80 instead of .83ish).

Probably the easiest and safest way ist to boot into fastboot although you don't see it and flash the newsest ruu,
so:
1) make sure, phone is off (i.e. pull battery and put back in)
2) push and hold "back" and hit power.
3) wait 30 seconds or so, to be on the safe side
4) connect phone to pc via usb
5) run RUU on PC, version 2.29.405... (RUU, not OTA!)
And make sure to have some juice in your battery
Here you can get the RUU:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
Its on >>Shipped Roms<< , 7th from top.
btw. am I assuming correctly that your phone is unbranded?
btw2: Do it all on your own risk. I'm trying to help, but I dont want to be held resposible, if something goes wrong, so maybe wait for someone else to confirm

how do i know that?
can u please stick with me... i will try to do that now
i apriciate your help... i think that nothink worse can be done to my phone, so i will try
did you see any provider logo during startup? Or any preinstalled apps or bookmarks which point into a provider's direction? Where did you buy it? And did you need a goldcard for rooting?
if you answer is no on every question, you're probably not branded.
Did you write down the version number before you did anything to your phone (when you have a .405. in your version number, your phone is definitely not branded).
Edit: but I really recommend to read the linked thread. My device is unbranded amoled so I never did any of this myself (apart from running a RUU), so always think twice before following my steps

do i need to click od hold power button?
like you do, when you power on. The important part is to hold "back" while powering on

do i have to hold down like 30 sec? no right?

if i go to the sotre and give the device back... what would be a good excuse for phone not working?

no. You have booted into recovery before, didn't you? Now you do the same but use "back" instead of vol- , because you want to boot into fastboot.
All I wanted to say with this 30 seconds is to give it some time to boot into fastboot, thats all. Press and hold "back", press "power", release power, wait 3 seconds, release "back", wait 10 seconds and plug in usb, start ruu.
Thats all I wanted to say with my previous post. Sry, if it was confusing

will the phone vibrate?
YES YES YES its upadatinjg.... hope this works
...my screen is back... but hopefully it finishes correctly... and doesn't go black again
what will happen if the phone is branded?
can i unbrand it?posebly not? cause its bricked ight? :/
no.
10charrrrr
If it is branded, you get a cid-error, so ruu wont finish. But your phone probably isn't branded, otherwise you would have come across problems during flashing custom roms or/or radios (-->goldcard). And because this doesn't seem to be the case, your device is not branded.
When the RUU is done, you phone is completely back to stock and you can do whatever you like to it...

i can not tell u how greatfull i am
THANK U
thank u for sticking with me again
Long story short my friend gave me a T mobile HTC G2 because it didn't turn on. I opened the phone to find the part where the battery connects to the phone came off the mother board so i solder it back on put the phone back together and turned it on. It booted up normal and came to the lock screen nothing worked the touch wasn't responding so i push power button to turn screen off and then again to turn it back on and the screen worked. I tried guessing his pattern five time and it didnt work it asked me to sign in to my Google account when the screen came up the phone rebooted and it kept doing it every time i turned it on. So i looked on xda how to restore it tried it and im not sure if it restored or not but it strated boot looping. I tried the flashing the pc10img.zip from the root of the sd card it usually says something like version to new or to old or something it didn't work. My phone is not rooted and i don't think usb debugging is on. Any info you guys want just ask. What can i do? How can i fix it? Please help
I'm going to take a guess, that if the battery connection to the motherboard 'broke off', then it's possible you have other physical issues such as the ribbon cable connecting the screen/digitizer to the rest of the phone.
If it were me I would have sent the phone into HTC for hardware warranty (which you can't do now since you soldered it.).
Can you provide some specific information about the phone, can you get into the boot loader, and if so what exact information do you have there? (USB debugging would be easily turned on under system settings, if you can get into it via the screen).

Thanks for replying i don't think anything else is wrong with the phone all the cables were fine. To begin with warranty was already finished. "Yes", i can get into the boot loader/H boot. I can turn on usb debugging because the phone doesn't boot all the way in to android. When you say information what exactly are you looking for?

Mainly the info that shows up on hboot, and which recovery you have (or 'had') so that might be able to advise some additional steps.

when you first had the phone it won't boot right? but when you tried fixing the battery connection thingy (sorry I don't know whats it called )
it booted and ran again?
have you tried doing a factory reset?
Power button+volume rocker down (volume down button) to boot into bootloader mode then do a factory reset maybe that would work ?

or sending the phone to HTC would help bud but you have to pay them for that if they get to fix it you got yourself a new toy!

Would probably have to stick to the original Stock RUU update since you're S-ON (would need S-OFF for any kind of custom recovery, kernel, unsigned packages, etc), so would have to use a signed full package from T-Mobile, I don't know much bout that because I usually have my phones rooted and away from stock as fast as I can.
What stock rom did you find before? links?

Thats is the above link i used and i used all the ones that start with "PC10" I rename them to PC10IMG.zip so the phone can recognize it and it did. The only problem is that after it tries to install is say something along the lines of version is older or newer since i tried multiple packages. One package was going through the process and after that it didn't do anything, it didnt say failed or reboot or anything like that. Ive been trying to fix this for like a week and a half now. Ive even flashed custom PC10IMG.zip to see if it could help but nothing the furthest ive gotten is the phone boots for like 2 seconds the screen is blurry and the shuts off and there is an orange light in top right that wasn't lighting up before. Here are the links for the custom packages

You would have to much it to your exact carrier/phone, Just flashing whatever you get your hands on can be very very risky.
For example for me being on T-Mobile with a T-Mobile branded G2, I would grab PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971109
(noting the *.15 is the original radio my device was shipped with, though I've upgraded to the newer *.19)
I of course have no intention to returning to complete stock, but it's usually the only course of action for most people stuck with S-ON (and then would look into exploiting/unlocking/rooting again from there).

Same problem, but desire z S-ON
Hey guys.
I have the same problem with the boot loop /semi brick. Expect I never had any problem before, with the phone. I have tried taking out the sd card, starting it agian. I have tried without simcard. I have tried to flash the ROM with RUU_Vision_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.42.405.2_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_199043_signed
via Hboot Fastboot USB PLUG mode (which was the only mode the aplication was progressing in until it want to restart the phone in bootloader), but the phone frezzes and the aplication on the computer just keep working, without progress.
The factory reset just frezzes the phone.
The only thing reali seem to not frezze the phone is the revocery option. Here the phone react with restart showing a image of a phone with two green arrows bent around, over the phone. then it turns off the display and vibrate 4-5 times, og stays turn off not reacting to anything other then taking out the battery and you can start the phone once again.

Well try to use your phone without the fast boot on?
And okay I still do not get the point? Have you asked in the S-OFF thread and they said, that S-OFF will come only for the old hboot and everyone who updated wont get S-OFF?
If that would be the case, there would be many many unhappy ppl.
So you rather will be on a half year old bug filled fw as to update and use your phone properly?
Turn off fast-boot. And then do a reboot. Elimination my friend.

To be rude, you think you have no issues with 1.26 doesn't means that the firmware is stable. And yes, everyone here knew 1.29 is the ways much better than 1.26 with a bunches of fixes and tweaks.
For the s-off progress, as far as I know those developers who are working on it do not stayed tight on 1.26 hboot (correct me if I'm wrong), though some of them has s-off devices. The main barriers on s-off path was not a newer hboot patching holes (there is no big hole found yet) but was the HTC hardworks to barricaded us to have a talk with tegra. On my guess, even there is a solution reveal it will be less likely to be achieve through an old hboot only.
To be honest, you are the only here i had seen that are stayed on 1.26 for s-off..

With bugs like this, it's a process of elimination. Unless it's specifically ruled out (ie, you still suffer the same bug regardless of fast-boot being on or off), then you can only assume that may be.
See what happens if you turn it off. If it works, you know that was causing the issue. If it doesn't, then repeat the process until you eliminate all possibilities. (ie, does it crash after you've transferred files via USB, switched WiFi on/off).
Once all possibilities (within your remit of course) have been exhausted then it's time to send it off, as it's nothing you can solve and it could be a hardware issues (bad memory perhaps??)
Anyway, let's go for the easy fix first, and I keep my fingers crossed that turning off fast-boot helps.

With bugs like this, it's a process of elimination. Unless it's specifically ruled out (ie, you still suffer the same bug regardless of fast-boot being on or off), then you can only assume that may be.
See what happens if you turn it off. If it works, you know that was causing the issue. If it doesn't, then repeat the process until you eliminate all possibilities. (ie, does it crash after you've transferred files via USB, switched WiFi on/off).
Once all possibilities (within your remit of course) have been exhausted then it's time to send it off, as it's nothing you can solve and it could be a hardware issues (bad memory perhaps??)
Anyway, let's go for the easy fix first, and I keep my fingers crossed that turning off fast-boot helps.

i really appreciate ur help guys
i just had the problem again, fast boot was off.. just did a factory reset
theres no crashs when transferring file or turning wifi on or off.
this is really weird.

thanks..
Worth trying.

There is a sticky Endeavor shipped ROM collection thread in dev section.
You can't easily do it from Mac, if at all.

i rebooted the phone now more than 10 times with now problems,
the phone now has no apps or anything brand new.
could it be a cause of apps or something?
Just look at your software version, then find the RUU in the link from the first page in the sticky thread.
Then borrow a Windows machine and run the RUU with your phone connected.

okay here it is 1.26.401.2
now when i want to download it it requires premium account WT* ?!
.
dose flashing the RUU require adb or only htc driver?
I'm in the same position. Woke up yesterday, booted phone, black screen after "HTC One" screen. Oddly I could change the volume and the volume changer would display on a black screen. Restarted, same thing. Factory reset, no problems. All the while fast-boot is off.
Same thing happened this morning, cold boot, "HTC One" screen then black screen. Factory reset and immediately rebooted - same thing again! is this a hardware issue or a corrupt software issue?
Will go and join the incredibly long and slow moving at the HTC service centre after work.

I've spoken with HTC customer services and they recommend taking the phone in to get it flashed - basically they think that there is a problem with the software. They claim it is a quick job.
They offered to come out to my office and collect my phone and return it tomorrow - I'm impressed with that level of service... pending they can fix it with a simple flash of the firmware!

Someone responded to you in the other thread and you never said anything back.
You need to outline exactly what you did, and exactly what is happening on your phone. Speak in complete sentences. People can only help you if you explain your situation clearly, because we're not in the room with you.
you are asking for help ? do it in the Q&A section, its made for a reason
and as been said above, you got responded there so keep it there. not reading those helpful hints there yet making a new thread in the wrong section is not correct !

You need to install TWRP, before you can boot into TWRP.

If pressing vol down during a reboot doesn't get you to bootloader, you did it wrong. You either started pressing vol down to late, or let go too early (don't let go until the bootloader screen appears). Just try again, until it works.
Hi im new here and hope this is in the right place. I have a htc m8 on o2 network in the uk. Its basically not booting past the htc logo then it restarts again. I have booted into the boot loader via power button and volume down. When i go into recovery there is nothing to recover. Factory reset doesnt fix it niether does wipe the cache etc.... Tried them all. I have read a few guides and had a look at twrp but always get errors flashing them to phone. I also tried to do it via sd card but samr errors. Is anyone able to help me or advise me on what go do? My email is [email protected] if you wanted to email instead. Thank you for your time.

I had a similar issue once and it was the micro switch under the volume button itself being stuck. Have you had any issues with the volume sticking either up or down before?
No nothing like that m8. Ill double check that though.... i think its software issue..

Sorry it couldn't have been something as simple as that. May I suggest that you re-post your issue in the M8 help area of the forum located at, https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help ?
That area seems to receive more traffic by experienced users than this one, so hopefully someone can point you in the right direction as there aren't many dinosaurs like us left using "antique" novelty items like the M8 anymore.

Better to report the thread and the mods will move it. Otherwise, it doesn't really fix the problem (thread in the wrong place) but actually makes it worse (multiple threads in different sections, both asking the same question).
I'll ask the mods to move the thread.

Would be helpful to know what the errors say.
If it says "remote not allowed" it is because your bootloader is locked. It needs to be bootloader unlocked (via HTCDev.com), in order to flash custom recovery TWRP.
