Just had the same problem today..... after unlocking the bootloader my phone bricked... i then flashed it, and got it fixed. but then I accepted the OTA by mistake... so now it's dead... totally dead. the screen won't even come on. When i press the power button, the green light flashes, and when I press the power button when holding the menu button, it vibrates.... Any ideas?!?!
Does it show in fastboot ? Then try flashing a kernel perhaps...:-D

What happens if you hold down the volume button while booting your device?
will try it here....holding the volume down? pls reply asap....thanx for helping
its not really reacting with any button once it get stucked to HTC logo
yea, to boot into the bootloader.
If you hold down the "volume button down" while booting your device it must show the colored screen within a second. Just hold down the "volume down" while pressing the reset button on the back. Keep holding the "volume down" till you see the colored screen.
tell me how please...i will have to remove the battery and put it back in...then it will still charge.....anyway...the only way i can start there is to press the power button and it will start up....but it will get stuck in HTC logo....when do i start going to bootloader in there....pls help...
Have you not tried a hard reset yet?
If that still does not work the flash a new ROM - while connected via bootloader ( only way )
i can still go to bootloader here sir....thanks for staying with me.....then what should i do next

Remove the battery, place the battery, hold down the "volume down" button, start your device ( while still holding the "volume down" button ).
Try a hard reset first as mentioned above:
Hold down the "volume down" button + the round button on the front, then reset your device while still holding those two buttons.

Download a ROM and flash it while the device is still in that mode.

1. restart the phone (with the pen in the small red button at the pen hole)
2. immediately after you have restarted, hold down the volume down button.
3. now you should be in three color bootloadermode.
4. connect your usb cable (after that you will see USB at the white color part)
5. start your custom ruu to flash your new rom.
good luck
edit..
aaaa u solved it while i was writting
great.
To hard reset -
reset your device with the stylus the before anything appears on the screen hold down the Vol down key and the centre button - follow the instructions - but don't use the volume down option unless you want to format you internal memory too.
have you tried to reflash rom? another rom possibly?
trying to do hard reset again...and this time it applies....dont know why it's not reacting awhile ago....

I am going to install a new rom, so i superwipe all the things, then when I should choose a new rom to install, I accidentially press the "reboot system". Sign,.....now the phone is bricked? I can't go into the bootloader by pressing the vol down and power.
Even I hold the power button for ten seconds, it just power off and the power on automatically and stay at the htc white screen.
what can i do?
THX.
As soon as it powers off hold vol down as it boots

when i hold power for a few seconds, the virtual buttons blinks for a while, then i immediately press the vol down button, but no use, just the same whilte screen.
No, hold power for 10 seconds to force a reboot. As soon as your phone powers down, press and hold vol down, keep holding and you should enter hboot. It might take a couple of attempts to get it right.

Spot on keep trying we have all been there don't give up you will eventually get into fastboot
How do people not know the basics?? This is simple stuff
Cos they don't read. Although I remember when I first got my desire a couple of years ago, and rooted it, I was crapping myself that I might be killing it, esp as revolutionary and cwm didn't work with the erase size of 40000 I had on mine, (too late, flashed it) oops.. But that didn't stop me reading and searching, all the info is out there people, what ever you do has most likely been done a million times before. (and fixed).

Only assume your phone is bricked if you can't turn it on, or the bootloader gives you a critical error

Well mine won't turn on, battery is dead, and when I'm able to enter bootloader to check battery voltage I'm not able to charge it beyond 3543 volts or something.
Sometimes the bootloader gives weird errore like memory addresses or denied or something.
What can I do then?
The notification led blinks red sometimes, it never stays permanent red. And the sd sometimes fails as well, when I manage to enter recovery (which is not really often)

I have the same issue and cannnot get into fastboot either. I think it has to do with the fastboot option which was enabled... Is there any way to get into fastboot? Or should i give up trying...?
Press and hold the power button. Once the screen goes off press AND HOLD the volume down button and it'll boot into HBOOT. Then press power once to get into FASTBOOT (or select recovery to go into CWM)

Hi, thanks for your reply. The problem actually is I cannot get into HBOOT. I've tried about 50 times, the only thing which displays is the brilliant HTC logo screen. I notice when I hold the powerbutton the softkeys are flashing 6 times before it goes black... When it goes black i'll press and HOLD the VOL DOWN key, but still no hboot

Keep pressing power button+volume down untill it gets into bootloader.
Don't let go at any point.
Just hold them pushed TOGETHER for as long as it takes. You WILL get into bootloader or else I'm afraid something is broken...

HI
my device is Xperia LT28h

after installing my phone don't power on.
Have you ever tried pressing power button and volume up button together?
Also I wanna remember you that after installing a new ROM the boot takes, at least I think so, hours. Press the two buttons so long til you get a vibration.

I don't mean that u should use the power button. Connect the phone to the pc and press the volume up button. (not the power button) if a blue light appears, then try to open a terminal and wipe your whole mobile phone. then try to flash the original android version.
I am not responsible for more damage. But i think this could work.
Wipe your complete mobile phone by tipping it in the terminal and install jelly bean.
Does your phone boot by pressing the power button and the volume up button?
Have you got locked or unlocked bootloader? If your ROM requires for example unlocked and you work with locked, than your phone is dead (sometimes ł

Turn off the phone completely press power button for about 10-15 sec then try with 1. volume down and then press power button no way to not go in bootloader. The hangs on the recovery can't broke your phone.

After half an hour, now I can go into bootloader! What to do next ?
Edit: I flashed a new recovery. Flashed a new rom. Now all is back to normal. Thanks for your help.:good:
I was excited to wait a new ROM since in a couple of days ago, when I turn on my phone the HTC white screen is stuck when I attempted to install the new ROM (4.2.2). Even pressing the power button, volume buttons and bottom slides won't work.
Is there a chance to repair my phone?

read post #6 and when you are in bootloader flash recovery and then rom
Hi,
I was on open bootloader, S-On, TWRP and root. For the Stage fright update 4.19.161.13 (Vodafone) i reinstalled stock recovery and applied the OTA. It rebooted twice and gut stuck at One logo for an hour, so i shut it down by pressing Power + volume up. Now it doesn't boot. When i press Powe + Volume up then the One logo appears for a few seconds and then i get a black screen, but when i plug the one into my pc, the pc says mtp-device. Unfortunately i cant get into the Bootloader or Fastboot. Does anyone has advice for me? Thanks in advance.
Hold power and volume up and when the screen goes black you switch the volume to down. Keep the power button pressed at all times and hold these combos until you see the bootloader. Works flawlessly......if it doesn't it's your timing that's off
I'm on vodafone too and had the same problem.
Just follow MrHofs advise to get the screen back.
I have to restore from TWRP to get the phone running.
the update still comes up on my phone now but I'm not going to apply it until I now kow.
Thanks, it worked. The screen wasn't actually black, but on and just really dark gray. In a dark room I could see when it's reaaly off and the press Power + Volume down.
Try this....
