[Q] Bootloop, Battery Drained

Hi Guys,
I tried putting in a new ROM for my HTC ONE X International (HBOOT 1.33) and this problem came up.
1. Phone is stuck in bootloop. Whenever I try to turn it off, it automatically reboots
2. Battery drain because of bootloop, doesn't charge.
3. I can enter HBOOT but encounters the following issue
- Trying to enter recovery leads to rebooting and continuing the bootloop
- Trying to factory reset leads to rebooting and continuing the bootloop
4. Computer cannot detect the device since it never goes past the HTC load screen
I really appreciate any help you guys can provide.
Thank you

Did you flash the boot.img? You need to do it through fastboot: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Do a "fastboot erase cache" afterwards.
Also, which ROM were you flashing?

What recovery are you using? Try to flash the latest CWM from here http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
it lets you charge when in recovery.
In order to flash it I had to have fastboot open and ready in the command window with the command to flash already typed in, then it was just a matter of timing->as soon as you go from Hboot to fastboot press enter.
Once you have access to the recovery you should be able to confirm your Hboot version and workout what needs to be done from there (ie flash the appropriate boot.img, or recovery from nandroid backup, run an RUU, or who knows what).

I was flashing OrDroidX 1.3.2. How can I flashboot if my device isn't recognized by my computer when I plug it in? (Sorry it's my first time) Also, my battery doesn't seem to be charging when it's off.

You need to be in fastboot mode. It should say fastboot in your bootloader menu, select it using hardware buttons. On the scree you should see
FASTBOOT USB
Then fastboot should work OK.
Check connection by doing
Code:
fastboot devices
If your battery voltage is really low, check out this script. It will start rebooting the phone and eventually battery will charge.

How do I do this if my computer won't recognize the phone when I plug it into my computer? Thanks

Trying to fix an M8

So I randomly have a corrupted data partition on my M8. I'm unlocked and S-off but was only running a rooted stock ROM.
What happened:
I went to go turn my screen on and hitting the power button did nothing. I thought maybe the battery was dead. Plugged the phone in and the battery charging screen came up. It said the battery was at 52%. I ended up holding the power button for awhile and it finally powered on. It took forever to load and I'm presented with this screen. It doesn't matter what password I put in, I always get this screen next. I can get into recovery but, again, it takes FOREVER to load and won't mount the userdata partition.​
Here is what I've tried so far:
I've tried wiping through recovery but /data won't mount.
I've tried to flash a rom.zip through bootloader but I can't get it to RUU mode. The device just restarts normally when I run fastboot oem rebootRUU.
I've tried to run a RUU from my PC but it fails for the same reason as above. I'm thinking the RUU tries to run the fastboot OEM rebootRUU command because it just restarts like normal.
I've tried fastboot flashing userdata.img. That fails.
I've tried formatting with mkfs.
These guys are recovering OnePlus Ones through a debugging port. I'm trying to figure out if I might be able to do the same thing since the One M8 and the OnePlus One have a very similar chipset. I have ZERO experience with any of this so I'm looking for a little help. Unfortunately the OnePlus guys aren't responding to my PM's.
Thanks for any help!

Okay.
First, you can get into recovery, correct? That's how you should try to flash the ROM.zip
Can you boot into bootloader? If so, post what it says next to OS ( that's your firmware version) and I'll see if I can find an RUU.zip that you can flash through hboot.
If OS is blank (it's caused by older versions of TWRP), get into ADB/fastboot, and issue the command fastboot getvar all, then post the readout here. Delete the serial no. and IMEI from the readout for your own safety.

I can get into TWRP but it won't mount the data partition. Are you saying I should try flashing another ROM the normal way through TWRP or try the sideload option? I tried to fastboot flash stock recovery. It says it worked but then continues to boot to TWRP.
I can get into bootloader. I'm pretty sure it's a 4.16.401.x ROM but I'll have to double check when I get home. I've tried to flash stock everything but it you know how it restarts through the process? When it restarts, it seems to want to restart to OS.
I'm about 99% sure the OS is there because it boots into Android but only gets me to the "Decrypt storage" screen.

Phone unconsciously bricked

Hi,
A few days ago I woke up with battery at 1% asking to enter extreme mode and after I did some charging I noticed my battery is draining fast. Then I decided to restart my phone and it went into a bootloop.
I restarted this phone previously without any problems.
Now I can't enter download or recovery mode. I can only use fastboot on bootloader menu but not adb cause I can't enter download mode (adb shows no devices but fastboot shows).
My phone bootloader is locked, S-oFF production. Everything is stock, never changed anything.
Tried fastboot oem rebootRUU didnt work.
Tried fastboot boot recovery.img and failed as I need unlocked bootloader
fastboot oem unlock/lock shows unknown command
fastboot flash hosp hosp.img also didn't work
fastboot flash boot recovery.img didn't work.
All of them lead to a small HTC logo in the middle but then return to the bootloop.
I also tried removing SD card and rebooting but didn't work.
Is there any solution to this problem? Thanks.

A wild shot..

Have you tried a "Power Off" ... wait 10 to 20 secs ... then hold "vol down" and "power" at same time. See the little "HTC" twice before you release the buttons. That should put you in boot loader mode. Then we can go from there. If it doesn't then I don't know what to do. It is how I have recovered from my catastrophes... and I have had similar instances like yours.

Stuck in Fastboot

Hi all,
I'm a bit stuck. Went to sleep last night with a working phone. Woke up this morning with the device turned off, and trying to turn it on always bumps me into Fastboot. I'm guessing my custom ROM tried and failed to update overnight...?
I can run fastboot commands, but trying to boot using a boot.img from a downloaded ROM (fastboot boot boot.img) still kicks me into Fastboot. Tried installing a Stock ROM, and the full install goes through, but still reboots to Fastboot.
I've downloaded the MSM tool and EDL package to see if I can get that to work, but you guessed it, I can't get into EDF mode (holding both vol buttons and connectting the phone sends me to Fastboot).
Anyone any ideas
Arran

In my case I fixed it by swapping to the other slot...
getvar current-slot to see the active partition
fastboot --set-active=a to set partition a instead.
Rebooted - all OK

Phone goes to Recovery "No command" screen after every reboot

I have a XT1710-10,
I had some problems with my network, so I flashed the latest Oreo stock image via fastboot.
My network problems got fixed but everytime I reboot now, phone enters the No Command screen.
To boot into phone I have to go into fastboot and Click "Start" there.
Everything else seems to be fine. How do I solve this?
The file I flashed was
XT1710-10_ALBUS_RETIN_8.0.0_OPS27.76-12-25-15-2_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

you forgot to reset, run fastboot oem fb_mode_clear while in fastboot mode
