Hey guys , I bought my wildfire s a few months ago and recently decided to change the android version . I found a optional "Rom" or how they call it ... I had a few progams rrunning at that time and something went wrong so my phone went off and on the pc it said " please connect your phone to the computer , check USB cable and so on.. ". Problem now is my phone doensn't turn on, it cant go into hardreset and the pc recognizes that a device is connected to it but it doesnt open it and there is no such thing as "removable disk f/g/whatever", there is no way to access the phones storage . I'm really tired of trying to fix it myself , Please someone help!! I would greatly appreciate it .
I have few questions:
- Is your phone unlocked?
- Did you install a custom recovery?
- Can you boot into bootloader? (Volume - + power)

Also Pleas post in the right section ffs. Read my signature " new here" one.
Is your device rooted ? Do you have the proper drivers installed ? Can you access recovery ? What rom ? Do you have custom recovery ? More information about what you have done will help.

Try Again...
Take out battery.
Press the volume down key and then just press the power key. You'll be in bootloader.

I tried already so many times... took out battery and tried to trun it on , but nothing happened. I did that with the volume DOWN key and the power button but it didn't work either. If I press the volume UP button and the power button at the same time sometimes i get i think 5-6 vibrations and the LED turns on. I hope this helps

Hi I did brick my marvel too a couple of months ago which was s-off, rooted, with custom recovery & rom.
However since i couldn't access hboot or anyhing else I sent it to htc service and after two weeks i got it back fixed for free! The receipt caid they changed the logical chip, whatever that is, and it was covered by it's original guarantee.
So my suggestion is that if your phone won't open up at all, take it to service and tell them that you got an OTA update and that happened...you migth get lucky too!!!

Thanks for the advice , but I live in Kosovo ( southern balkan, europe) and in my country HTC doesnt officially have any store or service. Its products are imported and sold by small businesses. I don't warranty for my phone . And those guys who offer services for repairing cellphones are not trained or something , they are not professionls...so I better try fixing it myself then leave it to someone who makes stupid experiments with it and breaks it totally ...

I live in Greece and there is no official HTC shop too, I took it to Germanos (I think you have that shop there too). It's where I bought it from and they sent it to service.
Hi, I know its seems strange to u but I want to hard brick my phone. I've a bootloader locked unrooted phone, everything is stock. It has frequent flickering problem but couldn't show it to the service centre guys. So they are not believing this problem. So I need a sure shot method so I can replace my one V as I'm still covered under warranty. I tried the 0% battery drain method n vol+power button combination but none of them works. Please help guys, I need to fix this problem. Please help.

Uhm, i think one of the methods is just put an wrong root on your phone so it bricks, but then you lose your warranty.........

Yes can do that then I need unlock my bootloader which would void my warranty. Can you please confirm if my phone is bricked, would the service center be able to understand that??

They can fix it, but i think they dont understand, all those jerks want money.

Probably I will install a custom rom first to check if this flickering is problem is still there or not. If not then fine, otherwise I'll unlock the bootloader n atleast soft brick it (if not hard brick). Then will take it to service. Seems like there is not much option left now. Btw thanks dude for your help.

Hi all, I'm a newbie with HTC devices. I've just bought an HOX and I want to root it to move a file to make the battery last longer, and then to disable soft touch lights that always stay ON ( even with screen off ). Which guide can I use to root it without unlocking the bootloader ? If there's not, can I unlock the bootloader in an unofficial way ? I don't want to lose the warranty. Thank u all.
You cannot.

Really ? WTF!!! It's normal that soft keys's lights are always ON ? Even when the screen is OFF ? Lights are OFF only when the phone is switched off...
How can I disable lights without root ? I read some tricks but didn't work for me
No, that's not normal.
I meant you cannot root it without going through htcdev process.
Before you unlock the phone, make sure it's fault free firstly. Get those soft lights fixed.

Dude, you can't root without unlocking the bootloader (-:
Thank u all !
the htc warranty center in my country is very disappointing .. I have heard of many phones brought in for service and back with other more serious defects. So I would avoid to bring it there. I read around on the forum a way to get the temporary root, which disappears after restarting the phone. Could you kindly link me the guide? I would like to do an experiment and see if I can turn off these damn led of soft touch buttons with root.

Hi there
I'm looking for a rooting method for a HTC One m8 handset which has a broken power button.
I have figured out that by enabling usb debugging and running the sdk's 'adb-reboot' command allows me to effectively 'jump-start' the handset from an off/charging state however I'm now looking to move forwards with this and root the device.
All the methods I've watched videos on so far for example hasoon's all in one toolkit requires me to confirm the 'root' on the handset selecting 'ok' with volume up/down with the power button to confirm.
Obviously with no functioning power button these methods won't work for me...
I'm looking for a rooting method that will fully complete without any power button confirmation on the handset if at all possible.
Perhaps this just isn't going to happen for me and I just need to be grateful that I've managed to resurrect a handset consigned to the grave?!
You need to fix your power button. Otherwise you will face many issues, other than this one.
If warranty isn't an option, it should be inexpensive to have it fixed. Or try yourself.

Not under warranty and yeah I kinda know this but since discovering the jump start I thought I might be able to get away with not fixing it if possible, the button was 'perma-pressing' and after failing to free it with lube spray I dug the power button out with a stanley blade so it probably needs the whole new floating circuit and button, anyway we digress...
Possible to perform an unattended root?
All you can do is use some sort of temp root app, but I'm not aware of any that work with the M8.
Other than that, I'm not sure. You need the button to navigate the bootloader menu. So I'm stumped.

Can a usb input device be used to navigate the bootloader?
Don't think so. But I've never tried, so just my guess.

You could use sunshine to s-off which once you do that I believe you can use a command to unlock without HTCdev if you are on 4.4.4 sunshine might not work but its worth a shot just type in therootninja in google on your phone but you will have to pay 25$ but if it won't work it will tell you long before you pay

Thanks but sunshine can't find the su binary presumably as I'm on 4.4.4 as per your comment/he documentation, guess I'll have to wait on an update to sunshine. Good information, interesting stuff & yeah worth a shot...
I don't suppose there's any fastboot commands that'll let me navigate the bootloader?
adb reboot bootloader

Yeah but accessing the bootloader isn't the problem, it's navigating therein. Seems like I need something like rootninja's sunshhine rooting for dummies package unless there's another method such as remapping the power button to one of the volume buttons without root and I don't think that's possible.
Thanks for your input nonetheless!
Cheers for all the help guys, need to get my power button fixed right enough it's too restrictive.

Hello guys!
First and foremost, I'm new to the forum as well as an Android noob (switched from Iphone 5 half a year ago). I have never rooted my phone nor have I flashed a custom ROM before. I have a 32 GB HTC One M9 from Verizon on stock Lollipop Android, and it has been working perfectly until this morning. I woke up to my M9 stuck in a bootloop. It would boot to the HTC logo, stay there for about 10 sec, then go black and constantly restart again (even as I type this). I can access the bootloader, but it seems none of the options work for me! I can't boot to recovery mode or even power off my phone. It just constantly boots again by itself. I've emailed HTC support and hope to hear from them soon, but I figured why not ask a respected forum as well. I've read up on similar issues from other people, but it seems none of their solutions work for me as I cannot access recovery or even do a hard reset! Any help is appreciated! I want to be able to use my phone ASAP!

No worries my friend. Htc will be your best help since its not been rooted.
Best of luck.
An update for all those who might have the same problem. I've successfully contacted HTC live chat support and have found out that my device is defective. I have no idea what the cause might be, or if there is even a solution to fix it yourself. I will be receiving a replacement device in two days thanks to HTC's wonderful customer support and exchange program. Thanks to all who provided input!

Then when you get it back. S-OFF and root the dang thing!
Make sure you check the replacement phone really well. HTC is likes to send out lemons as replacements. I went through 8 rezounds in 9 months.

HTC One M9 Sprint, stuck in boot loop
I just checked the Dead NAND post in the FAQ... matches my issue too.
Q17: My phone is completely stock and started bootlooping during normal usage. Now I can only enter the Bootloader since I face booting errors as soon as I try to enter the Download Mode or the Stock Recovery. How can I fix this problem?
A: This seems to be another symptom of the NAND death (c.f. the black download mode error screen in Q8). So far, it's not fixable without HTC's help. In other words: You need to send your phone to HTC's repair service if you want to keep it.
