These are the details we need:

2) What was the last thing that happened before it stopped working?
3) What android version / ROM is being used?
4) Does Hboot (Vol down+power) or fastboot (Back+power) Work when your phone is off?

Did you actually flash a radio? If so, which one? How did you do it? Fastboot?
Can you hboot / fastboot after battery pull? Remove battery 5 minutes then try again?

after i downgrade so can i flash this rom? (sebastian15)
i don't know what's RUU?
ps. when i run fastboot my phone isn't in fastboot screen it's on black screen with HTC logo.

hey, yesterday i had same problem. just wanted to go to stock rom and i stucked on same screen. and windows didn't see my sd card. so what i did:
booted to linux ubuntu, somehow linux saw my sd card, with gparted i deleted all partitions and reformated sd card. when i downloaded android flasher 2.2 i gues and flashed original bootloader from alpharev.nl, and flashed rocovery img. when i started official ruu 2.3 and everything went fine. now i am on original rom and have working phone . but i think that main problem was cm7r2 hboot. so i think you just need to flash original hboot and run ruu rom. ruu rom you can get from second or third thread in development section. good luck.

[Q] Stuck at stock bootloader

I am such a noob and suck at rooting.I got problem during rooting my kindle fire,here's the stories.I try to search all the way in the forum. But,all of it not working. Could you guys help me ?
1) follow root instruction and downloaded KFU
2) successfully installed superuser and go launcher
3) TWRP or CWR or FFF doesn't appear when i reboot back my device to flash custom rom.
4) I tried to run install_driver and run it again and select bootmode menu
5) I choose 3 for recovery.and its brick.luckily i could switch off my kindle.but when i wanna turned it on,its doesnt return to home menu.its stuck at the stock bootloader.
I'm hoping you guys could help me and suggest me the way how to solve it.
I also attach some screen shot of the kindle and my notebooks when i plugged in usb cable in.

it seems to be in fastboot mode - you have to fix your windows driver for fastboot mode, then you can continue with kfu.
driver (under android phone):

your device seems to be in fastboot mode - you have selected the wrong driver.
normal & recovery boot: -> android composite adb interface
fastboot: -> android adb interface
normal boot -> adb commands YES -> fastboot commands NO
fastboot -> adb commands NO -> fastboot commands YES
recovery -> adb commands YES -> fastboot commands NO
if the device is in fastboot mode "adb status" is allways "offline".
if you have installed the right driver you can check manually
with "fastboot devices" and "fastboot getvar product".
if you get response to this commands you are good to go.

i finally able to install bootloader and twrp.i thought i never make a mistakes.but unfortunately,during time im backing up stock rom,(nandbackup).i check all the boxes (for the left side) and for right side nothing.its running,when completed.its show huge amount of data (around 780 mb).i really think dat tis is normal for backup.in twrp,and video by tom gt,time for backup for 10 minutes.but me,already 5 hour still stuck in twrp.cant go anywhere.

if you managed to install bootloader and twrp then you are good to go.
you tried to make a backup of the stock firmware and now the twrp is stuck.
i don't know what options you checked, but this should be no problem.
just hold the power button for ~20sec till it turns off and try again.
check only options which exist on your device then the backup should be done in ~10min.

that depends on the rom you used. some have a option to enable this function.
the best advise would be to search or ask in the section of the rom you used.

if you can get into bootloader then just get the good boot.img and flash it using fastboot flash boot boot.img

Tried that but it won't see my device.

When on bootloader/fastboot mode, type
fastboot devices
to check connection
if it returns your device serial no, then it is good for you to
fastboot flash boot boot.img
adb devices is working when in recovery or on running OS, not on bootloader/fastboot

You have a newer sets of drivers installed and the installer exits instead of downgrade the version.
Are you sure you are in fastboot mode?
To enter this.
Power off your phone.
Hold Power and volume down button until phone enters a white screen with Hboot written on it.

Now press power button again. The screen should now change to this
Showing fastboot marked in red.
Go to device manager and look for the driver. It should look like this ( Android USB Devices, My HTC)
In cmd type fastboot devices.
My cmd returns this.

Cant seem to get the drivers in my device manager, they are installed but not showing in my device manager...

It was my thought at first. So now we know that htc apparently dropped the support for one x and older devices in their driver pack. Good to know

Now i need to take a look at how i can push a diff rom in there since the other rom apparently wont work..

Making a new layout is something i missed, Mone said ;
Flashing instruction like usual: perform a full wipe with TWRP for new layout, flash the ROM, flash the suggested GApps, reboot into fastboot mode, flash the boot.img exctracted from the ROM.zip, reboot into system, enjoy cm-12.1.
So i wiped the damn thing( ) after making a backup offcourse(which btw doesn't help cuz its screwed...). But i completely missed that i had to make a new layout... But stil i am convinced it can be "unbricked" one way or another.
I basicly follwed all the steps mentioned in this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904 and it al worked up to the point i flashed the wrong kernel. After that i searched the forum for hours and found some things which could be connected but with a total different view of what my problem is/was(partially solved with your help) and ended up with putting a SOS sign up for help.

Help! HTC One M8 (Rogers Canada) Bricked?

My HTC M8 (which i have not used for a year) seems to have been cricked to what ever extent !
I put it on charge and the following shows up

no matter what i do it just ends up here and doesn't really startup,
I had aSD Card in the phone and removed it and tried to restart but no luck!
Any help would be highly appreciated !

So what did you try to do? The above doesn't tell us anything you tried or didn't try (aside from removing the SD card).

Hello,
Thanks for the reply!
I tried to connect it to my mac via usb to flash a rom or twrp etc but my computer doesn't show the phone.
I tried selecting the recovery mode from the menus and nothing happens.
It just restarts and goes back to the same mode.
So honestly i havnt tried much as i do not know where to begin.. Apart from going into all of the menus on the screen and that's it.
I think i the phone is missing the recovery and the rom? Not sure.... Help!

The mac will only be able to connect via fastboot, in the current condition. Do you have fastboot/adb setup on your mac? I'm not a mac user, so I won't be able to advise much on that.

Since the phone will only boot to bootloader, you are correct in that it appears the ROM is damaged or corrupt. Since I don't think the Rogers version has RUU to recover, you are right in the approach of flashing TWRP and ROM to the phone.
However, you will also need to unlock the bootloader, in order to flash TWRP. And you will need working fastboot connection to mac/PC in order to unlock bootloader and flash TWRP. So you really need to troubleshoot the connection issue, first.
You might also read through the following thread for more recovery options or info: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694297

On post #1 OP wrote (few other lines) which is important to be highlighted. Without OS info no way to help.
Or as usual need fastboot getvar all result. If it is Lollipop RUU 4.20.631.3 is available for free.
Also I remember Marshmallow RUU is available too on AFH but can't confirm it now as I maybe wrong ..need to search for it
Edit : here is Marshmallow RUU - http://gsm-firmware.com/index.php?a=browse&b=file-info&id=14070
Leave it to you to guide OP.
Maybe need to flash 6.13.631.7 firmware first before RUU

Thanks!
I just tried the add fast boot connection went through all the steps ok, HOWEVER when i type in ./adb devices it does not show the phone. So far all posts and videos i have found explain about trouble shooting when the phone OS is still running but none for my situation.
There is a red highlights text which says "FASTBOOT"
and it turns to "FASTBOOT USB" when i plug in with my MAC
Also i have tried 2 different USB cables same result, tried clicking on the "REBOOT FASTBOOT" as well same result.
Anything else i can do to have a working connection ?

Have you installed the HTC drivers to your computer?
If not, install HTC Sync Manager (you can get the MAC version here). During the installation of Sync Manager the drivers will be installed. After they are, Uninstall Sync Manager (it doesn't play nice with ADB/fastboot) and the drivers will remain

When on fastboot, correct command is fastboot devices or ./fastboot devices
Based on your bootloader screenshot, you can try the above linked RUU to fix your phone

This is working normally, and as intended.
adb and fastboot are related, but different conditions, usage and requirements.
adb: Only works in OS, or alternately TWRP. Needs debugging enabled in phone settings. Will not work in fastboot mode.
fastboot: Only works in fastboot mode. Does not require debugging enabled in phone settings.
Stuck in fastboot mode, you should get a response (phone's ID) to: fastboot devices
Otherwise, there may be a driver or USB connectivity issue.
However, since ckpv5 linked an RUU for you to use, the mac won't help you. RUU is probably the easiest way to get the phone back up and running. But you'll need access to a PC for the RUU to work. RUU won't work properly with mac, even emulating a PC.

Nice. :good: Obviously, I missed that detail. Should have figures, since most M8 versions without "official" released RUUs seem to get them leaked as zip format.

No succes trying to unlock my Swift 2x

Hi, I spent several hours trying to unlock my phone. Tried following steps:
* I made a full backup
* I did full reset to original settings: Androïd 8.1.0
* I got myself developers rights
* in settings turned on 'usb debugging' , 'OEM unlock' and 'advanced restart'
After turning off device and restart ('power/vol up' buttons), device started in recovery mode
* downloaded 'ADB + Fastboot-package' on Win10-PC and tried in every conceivable way to install but phone would not not connect; recovery boot indicated device was locked; PC did not recognize phone
and impossible to flash TWRP-recovery
* I installed Magisk-manager on phone with succes to avoid having to use a PC; but then flashing TWRP did not succeed
What did I wrong, what do I wrong? Suggestions VERY welcome. after all this I had rather not return to original OS. Thanks for your help.

With the phone in fastboot mode issue "fastboot devices" make sure you get a response.
Then "fastboot oem unlock - go"

Thank. you very much for your answer. Problem is that after rebooting with <power + volup> I get a menu with ao START (in green), Power off (i n white), Recovery mode (in red) and Restart Bootloader (in red). Further on I read FASTBOOT MODE (in red), product name etc., SECURE BOOT -enabled (in white). and DVEICE. STATE - locked (in red). How do I get my phone in 'fastboot mode'?
Thanks for help.

Spoiler: Fastboot Mode
THIS IS FASTBOOT !

Thank you for trying to help. Of course I know how to get in fastboot mode. My problem is that in 'every' mode my telephone is locked, and I do not succeed in unlocking it. I cannot connect to another device, Magisk installation not complete etc. Again: I have developers right, I unlocked OEM, I did allow USB-debugging but no unlocked device!? What is going wrong, or has Wileyfox blocked the normal unlocking-procedure?

I have exactly the same problem. I do not have access to the phone and a hard reset leads me to having to enter a googe account synced with the device which I do not have the details of. I can enter the mode that you describe above and the FASTBOOT MODE is in red below. Now when I'm here and plug into my laptop wth USB and fire up fastboot.exe and issue 'fastboot device' it just says '< waiting for device >'.
Did you manage to make any progress on this issue at all, I'm really stuck!

download adb and fastboot from here

unzip the file and then install adb and fastboot, no drivers needed on win ten.
enable debugging and debugging notifier on phone.
open a command prompt and do "adb Devices"
the first time you do this you should get a notification on your phone accept it.
do "adb Devices" again and the phone should be seen.
do adb reboot bootloader
you should be in fastboot now
do fastboot devices and then fastboot oem unlock - go.

Thanks robi0800 but I don't have access to the phone so I can't enable USB debugging which means I can't use adb. I am trying to use fastboot but when I issue the command 'fastboot device' it can't connect to the phone and just displays '< waiting for device >'. Any other advice on how to make my Win10 laptop recognise the device when I plug it in so I can use fastoot successfully?

Sounds like you are missing a driver you could try the driver from the package in post #8 above?

Thanks robin0800, I've tried that package with the original Wileyfox red USB cable, no luck unfortunately. My Win10 laptop can see the device in Device Manager but adb Devices will not list anything, neither will fastboot. I don't have access to the phone to enable usb debugging.

Adb will not see it if debugging is not enabled but fastboot does not need this but the phone must be in recovery mode

Thanks - and to put it in recovery mode is this just Powebutton + Vol Up for several seconds or Vol Down, I can't recall...
