How exactly did you get a BSOD under Linux?
This is what is advised on the AlphaRev website:
First of all, leave your phone turned on and plugged in to USB. Your phone will most likely not be bricked, unless you REBOOT!
Before that happens, please contact an operator on irc.freenode.net , channel #alpharev , as instructed on the livecd.
The operators there should be able to provide you with some more hands-on help.

cheers just spoke to a mate thet owns a shop and he said if irc.freenode.net , channel #alpharev doesnt get me anywhere .....then to take it to him
cheers# yes in the uk
You should of left your device conneted and ran alpha rev cd again, hboot/bootloader is the deepest level of software on your device, mess that up and theres no fixes, you also shouldnt of pulled the batt, there was still a chance to save it while it was on! Theres no way to fix it now you have turned it off, its a paid repair, i dont think even jtag can help you now sorry

You will still be able to get it repaired under warranty. I bought my desire second hand and HTC repaired the phone for free.

The volume down + power is the same on my device.
What happens if you instead of vol up/down + power use trackpad center + power ?
Never thought of it until my bootloader was bricked.
And what I meant in the first post was....
take out the battery, no cables connected.
then but in the battery and use vol up + power, then at least I get 3 beeps, and the charge led flashes repeatedly until I pull the battery again.
In this mode when I connect the phone to my puter it shows as a Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM device.
Unless I'm totally lost, the phones have Qualcomm CDMA Tech. MSM chipset 7xxx, Arm v7 CPU and Adreno GPU.
Thinking out loud from here.
Is it possible to use the mentioned mode, with some drivers and software to actually get some control over the chipset, nand chip etc. ?
If this is possible it should be a walk in the park to dd/flash a new HBOOT.
If someone can answer the question, please do.
I have a ticket with HTC Global contact system now, trying to sort out some of this, hopefully they can throw some light on the issue.

You hit the nail on the head. This is what is called "JTAG mode", and is similar to the G1's "blue light mode" that you get by turning it on with trackball and power. This is how HTC unbricks phones. If you can find all the JTAG connector points on the inside of the phone, then technically yes, you can change out absolutely anything you want. But it's not that simple
Here's surgery for the G1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eITMEEF_AIc
Ok, so I've ordered myself a JTAG Riffbox now, with some JTAG adapters som start with.
Looking forward to getting them and playing around with my old HTC Hero
And off course even more excited to a release of some pinout info on the Vision/Z

Do you have any idea if it would be possible to use software and USB cable to the phone to unbrick it ?
I'm thinking, not being locked to the use of a JTAG adapter&box.
any progress ? i have also bricked by desire Z, and i also got to that mode but dont know what to do from there

I also have that.
You have found a fix yet?
No fix for now, it seems like the developers / JTAG people has abanonded the Desire Z/G2 and moved on to newer phones, they have pinouts for the newer desire s, but the Z/G2 has nothing for now that is, I really hope they figure out AND shares the pinout, at least for us who bought the JTAG adapter and stuff.
my wife just got her htc one x today. opened it up, turned it on.....phone turned off while she was putting in her account details. when turned back on its stuck on the boot screen and saying its for developers only. any way to fix this? when plugged in theres no charging light or anything. please help
anyone? really wanna know if i'll need a replacement before i've even got to use it
Press and hold the power button and volume button till you get to the hboot screen. Tell me what it says there, either 'locked,' 'relocked,' or 'unlocked.' And whether it says S OFF or S ON below it. Tell me this and I'll tell you how to fix it

When there is a saying for developers only in red color, it means that One X is not a brand new, someone already unlock the bootloader and flash an old version of CWM on it. It is best to get a replacement if you meant to buy a brand new device.
And it get stuck on boot screen due to low battery.

Or, it could be that the person relocked the bootloader while on a custom ROM. But like the OP said, it randomly rebooted, WHILE it was being used. @OP, try running an RUU after checking if the bootloader is locked/relocked

Is it brand new?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
sorry for late replies guys. yes to confirm it was brand new, just out of the box for a minute, bought from dial a phone in the uk which is a big retailer. it came sim free as most of their phones do. Simply opened the box, turned on and it turned off during the input of details, ie our wifi password to be exact.
After that came the red writing with developers only, now nothing. been on the charge all day, still no charging light. tried the wall socket, tried via usb to 2 pc's, and the volume/power thing doesn't work either. how long should we need to hold it to do that?

Hold volume down and power for about 10-15 secs.

Hold power and volume down for a while, phone will boot into bootloader, what does it say exactly?
Sounds like you may have got a test device by accident, not necessarily a bad thing if you plan to custom rom?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
tried it guys for 15 secs at least with no joy. seems to be dead. no charging light. seems quite a few people have seen the red writing. not into custom roms really as it'll be for my wife and she likes stock.

Oh, so its not booting into bootloader because batterys dead xD
Power the phone off, plug it into a wall charger, and leave it for atleast a few hours, it'll charge, and then boot it into bootloader and tell us what it says

So my One X got stolen for the second time now (yeah, lucky me) and this time I wanted to buy it used. Well I got one very cheap, but it seems to have a software defect of some sort.
I charged it briefly and it actually seemed to work. The red light was on and so I left it for another two hours to charge some more. Unfortunately this did not help (would have been too easy). The guy I bought it from showed me, that when he plugged it after a minute or so, the led would blink red for a few times. This does not happen every time however. I tried the hard reset with no response. I tried to restart it by holding down the top button with no response. Only once it was vibrating like when it is booting, but the screen stayed black and the button row was blinking shortly.
When I connected it to the PC it was able to install the HTC Android Phone USB Device but showed that there was no driver found for APX. I have never seen that one before.
I've tried to find some answers on this board, but I don't understand jack I don't want to learn all there is about smartphones, I don't root them, I don't install anything that doesn't come from the market. Usually. As I said, I am a total noob, so please use noob-language
PS: The seller couldn't tell me anything about the mobile. He said he would sell it for a friend. I fear it's stolen, but that's tomorrows problem since I can't see the IMEI w/o getting the phone to work
The original sim tray has the IMEI on it.
Are you saying that the device is reported as APX in device manager? Then it's back to the retailer or HTC, it's not recoverable.
Thanks a lot for the tip with the IMEI. I went to the police station today and checked it out, luckily it's not stolen
About the software: The PC does recognize the phone as HTC Android Phone USB device, however it also finds another new hardware called APX for which it can't find any software. So does that really mean it can't be fixed at home?
And if that's so would I have to pay if I send it in (I do not have a receipt) or does HTC know whether I have warranty (which should be obvious since this mobile is new on the market).
- Turn off your phone by holding the power button.
- Hold the Volume-Down button and turn on your phone (while keeping the Vol-Down pressed).
- Do you get to hboot?

No, I've tried that before, it didn't work. I did send it in yesterday. They said I should get it back in 10 days time. I hope this is covered and I don't have to pay for it.
Thanks for you help!

Good luck mate! Hopefully you won't have to pay anything
So I did get it back, but it won't recognize my SIM card. HTC told me to send it in again and I am really pissed. I don't want that. It seems to work just fine, it just won't accept the SIM. It asks for the PIN code but then it says my SIM is not right for this network (which is any network I am trying). Any solution for this?
Phone sounds goosed. Get your money back
Any news?

my m8 is bricked, is not in recovery mode, does not enter fastboot, not turn on, only red light blinks when plugging the charger a few times, but the pc recognize me how Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
someone I can spend some method to restore the system?
Those symptoms typically mean the phone is bricked. Qualcomm download mode is a bad thing, not a good thing. Were you doing anything to possibly cause this condition, or did it occur spontaneously?

Its possible the update was overwriting something critical like hboot, and some error occurred. Doesn't sound good, between the symptoms described, and the fact an update was being applied.
Try charging for several hours (overnight) on the wall charger (not connected to PC) then try the different button combos (holding each combo for a minute or more): power+vol up, power + vol down, power + vol down and vol up, power by itself.
Try the button combos with and without the charger connected to the phone. If none of that works, I'm inclined to believe the phone is toast. If the phone is stock, applying stock update, and less than a year old, you might have some recourse by warranty (although folks having any kind of warranty is becoming less and less likely as this phone ages).
Otherwise you may try to find a local repair shop that can JTAG the phone.

That's true. Other possible options would a (reputable) repair shop that can replace the motherboard. Or you may see if HTC will do that (for a fee). But as its a US version, I'm not sure HTC will provide that service.
