Hello
My phone's screen is stuck at opening htc logo. I never rooted it - shall I just flash it with standard stock rom? Would you please be so kind to point me in the right direction? Bless...
My kindest regards
Pete
Try booting without the sd card.
How old is the phone? What happened / did you do (if such is the case) for it to get like that? Etc.....

Tried that before without result...also did a factory reset but to no avail. Phone was just over a year old when it happened, got it from my insurance policy so it's possibly a refurbished one. I can't remember doing anything to cause this...

You Need to provide the Cid number and the Main Version. Do You know how to Get that?

Ok, enable USB debugging, plug the phone to the PC and then open a CMD ON the PC and type adb reboot-bootloader and once in bootloader type fastboot getvar all. You Need to post the INFOcidnum and INFOmain
How old is your phone? Isn't there still any warranty? If so you may try to contact your reseller, service provider or the manufacturer. If not glevitan may be your hero

Sorry mate, I was offline for a whole day, just managed to get back on it
How can I enable USB debugging if I can get onto HBOOT menu only? Is it possible to switch it on from there? Saludos

Yes, from fastboot, plug the phone (You will see fastboot USB in red) type: fastboot getvar all
sounds like a boot loop?
try removing the battery, once you have done that re boot into boot loader from there you should see an option for recovery.you may want to do a full wipe and re flash the rom.:silly: keep in mind the initial flash normally will take the longest,best to leave it be for a few minutes while the phone adjust to the new settings,that sometimes will seem like you may have an issue, but patience most times is all that is needed.hope this helps.

excellent point,but if that's true what is he flashing?
rooted phone=flash capable non rooted =stock rom with no admin access. am i mistaken,if so slap me and call me susan,if not box that thing up and bring it back,and if that's not an option then warranty time.because that device is chap.

Well....
1- over a year old bought refurbished.
2- he never rooted. We could assume that it is s-off from the previous owner but all of us failed to ask that question making another assumption that he isn't s-off.
3- he did a factory reset which didn't work (whatever that means with an s-on device / with an s-off device it really messes things up).
4- glevitan is here. If he doesn't know how to fix it (and from the few active members that tend to lend a hand in these type of posts) there may be just a handful who could help out. Hence, the OP is in good hands.
5- when someone messes up their phone without knowing what happened nor how to fix it, you need to give more detailed instructions on how to get it done.
6- I'm guessing that the info glevitan asked for is to find the correct ruu for the member to flash and to get his phone back to working conditions. If that doesn't work, chances are it's a hardware problem.

Bullet point,impressive. now a refurb with s off would mean a root from a previous owner?
"S-ON, which means it blocks you from flashing radio images — the code that manages your data, Wi-Fi and GPS connections. Switching your phone to S-OFF lets you flash new radios. Rooting doesn’t require S-OFF, but many rooting tools will give you S-OFF in addition to root access" So hince my question if attempting to flash a rom ,it would be a safe bet he would be rooted,because without it he would have no admin access,recovery or superser access and would not be able to complete the flash process.a factory reset would normally on a stock rom not result in a loss of the entire stock rom but only a loss off data i.e contacts apps etc. and with these things in mind it would seem to be a safe to assume its a hardware issue or a rooted refurb phone from a previous owner in a bootloop becauce a factory reset there would wipe everything?

Factory reset resets the phone to it's "as fabricated"-condition, wich means it wipes user data and cache on the phone. With or without root the procedure is the same and should usally not affect /system or /boot.
So we have to find out, if the phone is S-On/S-Off (phosphen, more information on the topic can be read for example here, second post).

Sorry guys, but before hijacking this thread maybe you can go and follow the discussion in the off topic thread. The idea here is to lend a hand to someone that is stuck and a noob and this for certain not helping him. Let's keep it clean....
BTW, the only solution in his case is to flash the OEM RUU or make a goldcard and flash an unbranded rom. With no s-off there´s no other way.

i need to have a connection to authenticate my gmail account bcause my friend maxed out pattern attempts. i know the pattern, i know the gmail account, usb debug is unfortunately off as well as wi-fi and mobile data connection. i managed to turn on the bluetooth (if that would help) while randomly tapping home capacitive button and while doing it my home screen abruptly shows up then back to authenticate screen.
i also don't want to do factory reset right now, i have important multimedia files and messages and doing factory reset will erase them.
i know the IMEI, serial number of my htc one x unit, still have the box if someone from htc can do it remotely. hopefully.
also, if there would be any other way that the gallery and/or messages can be recovered please help me.
thanks a lot! don't care if it will be almost a week that it's been locked, but it's starting to be an inconvenience but still tolerable for me...
please help me,
I'm sure if you try wrong patterns too many times, a option for forgot pattern pops up. You enter your Gmail details and you're good to go.
Didn't that work out?
Ps - I'm not really sure if such is the case when you have no connectivity.
Are you rooted?
If yes, go to recovery and backup. Either flash same rom with cache wipe or flash new rom and restore data.
You'll be good.
Also in recovery you could mount usb and copy media off.

Ok, so your not rooted therefore you will not have a custom recovery.
I wonder if you could go into bootloader, then have fastboot usb access. Unlock your bootloader. Flash a custom recovery. Copy off your stuff through recovery usb mount. Then flash a new Rom. What you will lose is everything on the phone but you should save your photos and stuff.

I would stick with athulele's route if i were you - triple check it doesnt work before trying a sledge hammer approach.
If not then I know that unlocking the bootloader through htcdev will wipe your phone data and apps etc but sdcard remains untouched. I cant say what a factory reset in bootloader does as i never tried.
EDIT: my comment relates to unlocking a relocked bootloader on an s-off device. So its possible the first time unlock or even a relock on an s-on device might wipe the sdcard contents.
Good luck - maybe other will have tips. if you go ahead and try unlocking bootloader there are loads of threads with instructions here. Just stop after you flashed the custom recovery and use it to mount usb and copy off your pics. Then try a reset from within bootloader or flash a new rom.
Just to chip in.....there are reports of wiped sdcards when unlocking the bootloader.
Just saying.......
Edit : it will delete ALL data including sdcard.

Wierd, I only did this recently to check something else and although my Rom was reset all my sdcard pics etc remained, I just restored a nandroid from the sd (which was also still there) and was back in business. Wonder why this would vary ? Perhaps I dreamt it or im going mad. I may have to try it again tomorrow.

When you enter the security key wrong a few times, it will ask you if you have forgotten your password.
Click forger password.
Enter your Email ID and password.
The phone will take you the settings where you can change your security key.

You went from unlocked to relocked and back to unlocked.....the first time it should wipe all ! And maybe there is a small difference because you are S-OFF ?

Good point edited post to that effect, I cant remember what happened on the first locked to unlocked on my first Hox (which was s-on) and my current s-off was already relocked when i bought it.
pjgt : If all other avenues fail and you were going to unlock bootloader and root\custom ROM anyway then there is a small chance but it doesnt sound likely. Id recommend buying and installing Cerberus or similar once your back up and running - it allows an sms to unlock device or change password. This 'may' have bypassed your problem.

Check my edit thanks to Mr Hofs.
Fact is I unlocked a relocked bootloader on an S-OFF one x and my sdcard was not erased.
You will be unlocking a locked bootloader on an S-ON device so I cannot guarantee the outcome.

Yeah.
I can recall also reading something some time ago about making your SD Card(External) the bootable one and then fixing the "internal" from there but I'm not sure if that will even work either, was for another device as well.
I don't think a lot of developers/"hackers" on here sat down trying to figure out solutions to a problem that isn't so frequent on this device. I mean, who would flash a LG "anything" on an HTC...
Just wondered if it might work out seeing as it at least "detects" that much from the phone. It's a type of Qualcomm recovery mode isn't it, QHUSB-etc etc
Figured that maybe it is in a "semi" on condition already, it's just that you can't do anything with it. But if it's completely broke then might as well take it into service center for repair. Don't know what you're gonna tell them though @escoda
Yep. From what i know on the htc one x, once you turn off the phone completely (no hibernation mode) and you plug it in the pc it goes automatically to a adb hibernation mode. That's why its in the device manager. So it reads the device but can't respond correctly. But to get a step ahead it's very necessary to turn the device on.
@escoda its not completely bricked yet. Just go to ubuntu and follow the guide mentioned from Brendm14. Like he also said you only need to download then those files for the htc one m8. Most qualcomm devices have everything on the same partition but you could probably examine or the bootloader and the other required stuff are the same partition number as in the guide. If so then you still just need to download the htc files and do it the same.
I dont know where you can get the htc files since I am/was an LG user.

Hi guys. I have a problem with my M8 (international).
Start topic was here http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...-boots-fastboot-factory-t2952954#post57042833 but I took an advice and open the same topic in general theme.
Hi everyone. I got a problem with my HTC M8.
First of all, I didn't make with it any changes (as unlock bootloader, root or installing any custom OS or recovery etc.) Week ago I left device, connected to PC for all night, and, I gess, with "bad" micro-USB cable.
Next day I couldn't boot this phone. I connected it to charger and after little time it was loaded to fastboot. But up today I can't do anything with phone: I can't unlock it, can't factory reset, can't boot to recovery etc...
I tried to find any same simptomes in google, but found nothing
As you can see on screenshots, I made steps for unlock bootloader but on device I didn't see notification about unlocking.

I'm taking a bit of a guess but some how system has got wipe but that seems a bit off for a locked phone but since it's locked I would take it back to where you got it from and get them to sort it.

I would normally say the same. But the OP mentioned in another thread posted in the wrong forum section (linked in his post) that he bought from Canada but lives in Ukraine, so I think warranty is not valid. It would have been helpful for the OP to give all the relevant details in this new post.
I agree, it looks like his OS and possibly recovery have somehow become wiped, corrupted, or damaged. Not common for a stock device, but not unheard of, either.

Hi
I had a similar problem to you where I was stuck in fastboot mode and the only command it would execute was POWER DOWN and when switched back on it returned to fastboot mode. However I ended up in that state due to making a mistake in trying to unlock and root my phone. Also I believe my display showed the RADIO and OpenDSP details rather than the INVALID_VER_INFO that your's is showing.
I thought I had deleted the rom and recovery on my device and I had bricked my phone however I was able to recover my phone by getting a new unlocktoken from HTC and flashing it.
Once I had successfully unlocked my phone I had access to my rom and recovery.
I see from your first image that you tried to unlock your phone and it shows that 'unlock token check successful' but images 2 and 3 show that the phone is still 'LOCKED' so it may be worth going to the HTC site, get a new unlock token and try again.
If it doesn't work, it shouldn't do anymore harm either!
Best of luck.

Yes, I did this And in consol I saw that everything was fine, but on device I didn't see standart notification about unlocking.
A found some topics about "INVALID_VER_INFO" - and they said that it can be ok for some devices (guys checked this on their worked devices, booted to fastboot and saw the same).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715056 here is the topic about "INVALID...".
btw - I tried unlock phone after another man. He did the same - receive .bin from dev. HTC site etc. I did the same, but from another HTC dev. account and result was the same Phone didn't unlock.
It could be that the recovery has got messed up because I believe recovery is used to do it since unlocking will wipe data. The only things I can think of is a real ruu as in it full rom and firmware exe (good luck with that) or you could try just firmware ruu, riff box or HTC themselves.

I have the riff box but without needed pin-outs (http://i01.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/...x-Flex-font-b-cable-b-font-for-Samsumg-LG.jpg I'm talking about these pin-outs). And my previous experience with riff box and Samsung S3 was not very good)))) I had been fixing it during 2 months

Hey man. Sorry but your problem not the same. You installed custom OS and it could be the reason of this. I install nothing. I have full stock device. And my problem not the same with your problem. Could you create new topic please?

Thanks. But my skill too low for soldering these small parts I talked about completed pin-out connectors for JTAG. I tried to find them on EBAY and other JTAG stores, and failed (look at screenshot with these pin-outs higher).
Could anyone help with RUU process? What information I should have for correct RUU update? I found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173 but I'm not sure that I have SPRINT device.
I need an information, how I can be sure, that I use correct file for RUU my HTC? Is it bootloader version, or operator version (Sprint, Verison etc.) or something else? As I wrote, I can open information about my phone in Fastboot (I can check my SN, CID, bootloader version etc.)

For a ruu to work it needs to have matching cid, guess mid and has to be same version or higher than what's on the phone. You can't flash the wrong one it won't let you.
Edit, also the one you linked to won't work.

Ok. And Can I flash version with unlocked bootloader and custom recovery, for example? (I said that there are a lot of recovery but they are custom. Is it ok for me or I should find pack with all stock?)

My son wanted to root his brand new phone. i have rooted 8 phones from different phones before with success..... but this time i f***d up...
Accedently installed this on his phone.
http://wccftech.com/flash-and-root-nexus-5-on-android-6-0-1-mmb29k/
executed flash-all.bat and it flashed the bootloader.
For the wrong phone...
It should have been this one..
http://wccftech.com/flash-and-root-nexus-5x-android-6-0-1/
Missed the X......
Now the phone will not even boot any more at all....cant enter bootloader.......does not power up at all.!!!
Jesus...what have i done.......
It here any chance at all to fix this somehow?
Hello and thank you for using Q/A,
because you can't enter bootloader, you can't do anything. You can try to send the phone to Google. Say: It didn't boot after OTA Update.
Kind regards

Yeah it's most likely a paperweight. Try sending it to Google. Flashing the wrong firmware destroys a phone as you probably already know
well

I am totally aware of that....
but somehow one must be able to flash the bootloader from scratch....
Normally via special software etc.
That´s what i was hoping for....
Only thing I know to use is a riff box to jtag it. Not sure if they have one for 5x.

Your use of the period seems rather condescending. And no, you as the end user cannot fix that. You did one of the few things that is unrecoverable unless you manage to get the bootloader to accept adb commands somehow.

Didn't you say the phone won't turn on? The above scenario is not possible.

Well. the bootloader is flashed into the phone from the beginning aswell during manufacturing. I work with electronics and software and i know there is always a way to reflash the bootloader. All the electronics comes in the beginning with no software at all, one only needs the proper software/hardware. Most probably by jtag....or if they have some other special tool for snapdragon 808.
Stupid of me not to see that the version i flashed was not for nexus 5X...and only for nexus 5
sight...
Good luck. Will Google not rma it?
Morning all,
Im not S-off and I'm using a pretty dated firmware..
I was told that there is a way to obtain and flash a firmware WITHOUT wiping anything and without too much fuss.
My questions:
What is the COMMAND in CMD?
Where do you find the signed firmware?
How do you identify which one to use?
What does it actually change? As the phone does work on dated firmware, more optimised?
I highly doubt I'm the only one who would benefit from this, once I know the answers I'll leave them here and I'll write a guide on how to install them step by step I'll also link the firmwares do others can help themselves.
Thanks

Have come mate, but I've asked some other things plus there is apparently a way to do it without the use of a tool.
This is the specific thread for firmware update.
I think you can only flash the full stock zip since you are s-on. Do take note that flashing the stock firmware.zip will wipe your internal storage.
The firmware to flash should have matching CID and MID of your device.
To check your mid and cid type this command in cmd while the device is in download mode.

Incorrect. All of @Sneakyghost's firmware.zips are for S-Off users only. It's stated in the OP of the thread right in the first sentence.

First make a backup. This will wipe your phone.
Then relock your bootloader. In fastboot fastboot oem lock
Download this RUU.zip
Rename the .zip to 2PS6IMG and place it onto your extSD
Boot to download mode and follow the prompts (vol up to flash ~ power button to reboot)
That's it. Super easy.
Delete the renamed .zip from your extSD or else every time you boot to download mode it'll try to update again.
Now unlock your bootloader again with the same bin code that HTC gave you when you first did it, or request a new one. Flash TWRP back onto your phone, then flash SuperSU or a custom ROM to regain root.
This is why I paid $25 for Sunshine.
For S-Off users, you just flash a small firmware package, and that's it. No data loss. No relocking the bootloader. No reflashing recovery. No re-rooting.
It really is worth the price in the amount of time and hassle saved through the lifetime of the phone.

OK so this is where I've heard different.. There apparently isn't any need to return to stock so think you may need to read the originating post yourself mate
Otherwise how would the tool mentioned in the second post work? Appreciate you saying all that but it doesn't help my query.
As for sunshine I completely disagree, I've had every single htc bar two since the G1 and I've had S-off on all of them where available so I know the S-off method well, and have made a lot of donations to developers over the years, I also buy all my apps and support Devs when they deserve it for apps.
In regards to sunshine, I paid for this app for my m9 less than a year ago, I get one license, I can't use this for my 10 and I'll have another phone soon so see little point, they should offer more than one unlock for £25 and the only reason why they've got away with this daylight robbery is because they've monopolised the market, I'm sure I'm not the the only person who's noticed this.
Anyway, I'll wait to hear from someone who knows about the signed firmwares and how to install them. The tool can do it, so there must be a manual way, Id prefer to do that as I've had problems with tools in the past and with firmware you really want to get it right.

I think you misunderstood me. I'm sure there is a thread somewhere here with signed firmware (there is for M8), but I don't know of it. If I did, I would have linked you there.
But you asked if anyone could give you help, so I offered you a way to do it.
Even if you find a signed firmware.zip, you'll still need to re-lock your bootloader since you are S-On.
You might as well save some time searching and just run the RUU

I'll check around, was speaking with @LeeDroid a while ago, can't remember him saying relock the bootloader, I'll ask him.
I'm pretty sure there is a way. Can't see that tool in the second post relocking your bootloader.

Actually, I have been following the method of @krassermensch's since before he started a thread about it. He posted to a different firmware thread about the method, and I've been curious about it since. In his OP he states that you need an unlocked bootloader, so his method is probably your best solution. I haven't tried it myself as I have always been S-Off on my HTC phones.

The backup is necessary as the firmware update files overwrite the recovery and the boot partitions...
