Need Some Help!

While tryng to r-flash my phone I must have done something wrong...I followed the required steps. My phone is now STUCK/FROZEN at the spalsh screen. I tried to flash again but I can't because the phone does not sync to the pc. I tried a soft reset, a hard reset by by holding the send/end buttons then pressing rest and nothing...I'm always the stuck in the splash screen. (the phone does not respond at all) Any suggestions on how to fix my issue or get to the bootloader screen..thanks!

You can flash a ROM in bootloader mode so go into it and reflash your ROM.

How do I flash in bootloader mode...how do I get into it so i can flash?
Thanks for the fast reply.

Hold the camera button all the way down and soft reset the device simultaneously.

you can also just start flashing with a RUU.

[Q] Factory Reset without recovery mode

Hi
I was wondering if there is a way to factory reset my phone if i cannot go into recovery mode (i.e. if i hold down Vol. Down and boot, it shows the recovery thing for 1 second, then crashes and reboots into android). If i use the recovery from android it also reboots and tries to go into recovery, where it crashes.
So, is there any way to circumvent recovery? I can not attach the phone to a pc.

vol down + boot, then select factory reset

I don't mean to be rude, and any help is greatly appreciated, but please at least read my post before answering.

u said that u can't go into recovery
the option "factory reset" is in the bootloader menu..u can't boot into the bootloader???
in the wors case, flash an ruu

I'm sorry, i didn't know there was a difference. My bad.
No , I cannot go into the bootloader. Can i flash an ruu if i cannot connect my phone to the pc?

if ur phone is not branded by ur operator, u can flash the latest froyo ruu available by downloading this, rename it as PB99IMG.zip and put in the root of the sdcard (using a card reader with ur computer)
boot the phone in bootloader and hope that it not crash and start the update (it should start automatically)
if it crash before to start the update..i dont have other ideas..
anyway i never heard about a crashing bootloader..after what this start happening?

I will try, but i don't have much hope.
This is most probably the aftermath of my phone taking a trip to the bottom of a lake.
//edit: Sadly, I can't get your suggestion to work. The bootloader still crashes

First of all: If you have a crashed bootloader, the phone would do absolutely nothing. As long as you phone reacts, your bootloader is not crashed.
What do you mean with "it boots into android?" What happens next?
TouchPaled from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App

Well, it boots into android as you would expect (i can use w-lan etc, surf the net, install aps...) as long as no sim card is inserted. I guess the radio is damaged so it crashes after putting in a pin when a sim card is in the phone.
Maybe the bootloader tries to access the radio too and that is why it crahes?
The phone also only works when plugged into the outlet, so the battery is probably damaged.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

Did you root your phone? If not, just send it to HTC. You talking about a recovery, but not which type (stock or custom).

plug it in to charge for a few hours, then use adb to reboot into bootlaoder or recovery. Flash away from there.
Code:
adb reboot recovery

Hi sorry I can't remember when adb kicks in, maybe the fastboot commands become available earlier.

Unbrick HTC M8

Hello guys!
Recently i got my phone encrypted (locked) and no, it is not stolen or what so ever. I just woke up and that was the first thing i saw on my phone and no matter what kind of code i put in, it shows, that the password is ok but the files are corrupted and it needs a factory reset. After pressing the button to factory reset it, it just restarts and goes back to old screen and same thing again.
+ I can not even enter recovery mode because it just boots up normally then and shows that the settings has stopped working and thats it, needs to be restarted again.
+ I did get to that screen where you unlock bootloader, pressed yes and it just restarted as usual and got back to the old screen where i need to put in the password.
+ In fastboot menu id does not even show the bootloader option.
+ i tried to flash custom recovery but it does not allow me saying something about permission or something like that.
Please, help me out people because i am out of ideas

Any suggestions ?
may be there is a way how to completely wipe phone's memory and just install a new os ?

Help!

So, I was on /e/ os, and I wanted to switch to lineageos, so I downloaded the zip, flashed TWRP (as recovery) went into it, flashed los, rebooted, got to boot screen, and right as it was about to go into setup, it turned off. I tried again, same thing, etc etc. I tried to go into fastboot and recovery, nothing. It's stuck at the Recovery mode... loading... then it has purple led at the top. it is the canadian h812 version.

Hi. I don't know exactly what the problem is and how to solve it. I would wait for an answer steadfasterX, or someone who knows the exact answer.
I would try to do this, but as I wrote above, I do not know if it will help or not:
Factory reset hardware key combo (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-unofficial-g4-unlock-any-lg-g4-device-with-usu.3760451/)
As written above the regular key combo to get into the LG factory reset screen changes a bit:
power off device
disconnect any usb cable from the device
press volume UP + power button and KEEP THEM BOTH pressed until you see the LG logo the first time! THEN you have to immediately release the power button (ONLY that) and press and keep holding the power button directly again! Keep them pressed until you see the white LG factory reset screen
After that, I would try to go into the recovery, to format and restore or reflash.
Hope this helps. But it is better to wait for the answer of the knowledgeable. Good luck!

It worked... I hope the factory reset actually fixes it. (by it worked I mean I got into it)
Nope. Didn't work. It freezes up and says 'Secure booting error :1003' MODIFIED!' with a purpleish pinkish led.

Boot in fastboot and execute:
fastboot format userdata
(this will erase all internal data, pics, apps etc)
Then let it boot.
