Did you flash cooked ROM or is it stock from your carrier?
I would back up my personal data then try reflashing the ROM.
If you've done this, sorry I don't know what else to suggest.
Try searching "stuck at bootloader" for starters.

For me, from my carrier's site or from the HTC site... Have you tried either?
There's also this stock ROM thread on PPCG, perhaps there's something similar here on xda-devs. I haven't seen any, but I don't have a GSM RHOD. Good luck.

Yes agree that you must find the stock ROM. You haven't told us whether you have a GSM or CDMA version of your phone and looks like you haven't looked around here enough.
There are plenty of answers for you.
Try searching the forums for "touchpro2 stock rom" and "flashing faq" just as a couple more ideas.

Can you give us the precise steps you took?
Did you flash another ROM before without any problems?
Did you just flash the HSPL?
Which ROM started to give you this problem?

It's my 1000th post!
Have you tried flashing the stock rom -- in your case, the ATT stock rom?
I was having weird unexplainable problems (not the same as yours but similar), and flashing the stock T-Mo rom seemed to "fix" whatever was wrong and allowed me to go back to custom roms, and now all is well.
agent_47 also recommended something called "mitty" to "reset the nand" as a more-effective alternative to flashing the stock rom to fix my problem...but my problem hasn't returned so I haven't explored mitty.
Hi,
I am new to all this flashing etc . . . Anyway, i have installed Android 2.1 and followed all the neccessary steps. However, when i power my phone on it goes through 3 boot up screens then hangs on a black screen saying HTC, it has been like this for 20 minutes.
Should it take this logn and i am over reacting, or is there something else i need to do?
Cheers
Dan

if it really has been 20 mins or more, then take the battery out (and back in) and reboot and see if that works.
Then get back to us on what happens.
Hi, thanks for the quick reply, i ahve tried what you said 3 times, and no luck, this time it has been hanging about 9 minutes.
Open ddms (if the android tools is in your path), and/or post a logcat
What ROM did you try installing?
Im installing Villain 5.2.
And the rest of what you said comletely boggled my mind, i didnt understand a word of it lol.
I have just wiped and reinstalled the ROM, i have powered it on, currently been hanging 2 minutes.

I can get into recover,download mode, or the rom boot screen but phone turns off right after. It won't stay on long enough to change roms or backup anything. Does anyone have any suggestions of what to do? Thanks in advance
Can't not can...stupid tablet won't let me edit.
Please Specify your Rom and Kernel. If on Stock, do a factory reset.

I'm on Cyanogenmod with stock Kernel from Cyanogenmod, never changed my kernel. It was working fine for months then just rebooted on its own and won't stay on since. Unfortunately I'm stock and I'm not even sure it will stay on long enough to do anything to it.Its also not the battery. This video shows exactly whats happening to mine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J61jghxz-Vc
If it can stay stable in Download mode, then you can Odin Flash Root66. Once that's done, flash recovery again and the Rom.

The video points to Recovery only. Have you tried to boot into Download mode (the kind that has yellow triangle and Downloading message ) ?

Yeh I've tried recovery and download. Neither one stays on for more than 5 seconds and in download mode after clicking up to go into download mode the phone restarts.
Could be hardware, could be softbrick. Can you try the De-Bricking thread's instructions ?

I'm beginning to think its a hardware problem. I got it to boot into recovery long enough to factory reset, load a new rom, and gapps. I rebooted and it loaded for a few seconds and turns off. It booted again and went to the optimizing apps screen then shut off before it could finish. Does this sound like it could be a software problem?

I got the phone to boot into cyanogenmod but in the set up screen it failed again. Really getting annoying and I can't figure out how to fix it.
Pull battery. Then put it back. Does it try to turn on by itself? Could be the power button issue many others have had.

YES thats it I was thinking there might be a problem with the power button...Is there a fix on this or a thread anywhere?
There have been many threads posted with this issue, and some did manage to just buy the part and fix themselves. No instructions though thst I'm aware of.
I'd suggest you google galaxy s3 or t999 teardown.

Found a few posts and people just thump around the general area of the power button and that seems to be a temporary fix and it worked for me for a little while. It's gonna work long enough to revert everything to stock and send in. Thanks you two for your help

Your in the stock recovery pal. Hold down the power and volume keys and you will eventually get some options on the screen. Once they come up use the volume buttons to scroll and power to select. Btw, i suspect you have a htc wildfire S not the htc wildfire. So this would be the wrong forum for you if your phone does not have a trackpad at the bottom of the screen (looks like a circle with a dot in it) then you have the S model.

Thanks for Replying back Its not letting me to run recovery and on the top of it if the phone boots up it take almost 20 minutes to get to the home screen and it hang sup their itself you can't even do anything on it and i am trying to unlock the boot loader to run recovery and install custom rom on it but nothing working out. I do have a trackpad on this mobile and i checked over the internet also and its Model number is A3333. So Please help me what all option that i can use on this mobile right now as i am totally new to Flashing Android Mobiles.

Okay, pull the battery out. Then put it back in after 5 seconds. Hold down volume down, then power and keep both pressed down until a wite screen with some writing comes up. There it should say hboot, a version number and s-on or s-off. What does yours say?

Ah ha! Fantastic whoever else had this phone before you has done most of the hard work and security unlocked the bootloader already. http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.c...zip?key=kzoSRLwAaSgJsyXiuKJS4A&ts=1431506306 download this and place it onto your sdcard. Reboot into hboot and your hboot should request you to update the recovery. Select yes with volume up. After this you should reboot back into hboot without the sdcard in. Then select recovery from hboot and boot into it.
Once your in recovery you could either:
1. Wipe the data, cache and dalvik cache and then reboot the phone. This will reset the phone and hopefully fix and voot related issues.
2. Wipe the phone entirely and install a new rom. Cyanogenmod 7 is a good lightweight rom. Please look at the development section for all the roms available.
Just one question though, that screen damage looks like bad. Do you know what happened?
Hello Bro

As I have said I recommend Cyanogenmod 7. Read the thread here Its a custom version but its more recent.
Now your screen, I suspect that those marks are from heat damage. Most likely from whoever else had the phone overclocking it. This could be a telltale sign of hardware damage through excessive use and it may never boot properly. I thought I should mention that.
Well i thats case would like to ask one more thing we will be able to fix it or not or its not worth it.

Depends, this phone is an old model as far as mobile phones are concerned. the cost of a motherboard and new lcd + digitizer could be the same cost as the phone in a used condition.
I work it out as £23.13 as the cheapest you could get the parts but then you would need to do a full tear down of the device in order to replace most of it. I mean basically your only keeping the frame, trackball, camera and some rubber bits.
Cheapest I can find to buy it in the uk is £25 ( with you needing to sim unlock it).
But I would add that you might as well try get cm7 on the device. The only thing it will cost you is time and you never know, the phone might be usable with CM7 on it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
OK bro let me first give a try with the cm7 rom and see if its work and hoping for the best

Sorry, i forgot to mention, the controls for the recovery are different from hboot. Push trackball to select items, power is now the back button.
let me give a try and see if its work i installed the rom from Sd card ad restarted the mobile and hoping this will work now
I tried to install stock rom that i have downloaded from HTC Website and that is not getting installed lets hope CM7 will work i can see the ultrabeam revolutionary Logo on the screen right now its still thinking up
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?

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.
