It all started when I was having trouble downloading an app of the play store, looked online to see what needed to be done so cleared the cache and data of the store and its services; rebooted the phone and now it's...stuck (in limbo or purgatory) on the xiaomi.com logo. I'm using a rooted htc desire, what's the problem?

It didn't! No likey for youuu.
Dethrat's didn't work either. Where's sheldon...but seriously someone must know what is going on, right? Trust me when I say I've pushed all buttons on the phone in as many combinations as I could think of

First of all, that's my signature and here I removed it for you.
Secondly, take out your battery wait a min or so, then try going to recovery or download mode. If you can't access any of them then only the company could help.

For recovery first turn off your phone (i.e. take out the batterie, wait some secs and reinsert).
Push the vol-down button an hold ist. Then power on the phone.
Now you should be in recovery.
Hope this helps.

Hi, first off I don't really know what all the terms mean , but my phone is rooted, and has a ROM? installed, I'm not 100% sure on what it is as I've forgotten, but I think it is Cyanogenmod?
The past few weeks my phone has been restarting randomly and freezing every now and again. This morning when I tried to unlock it the touchscreen wasn't responding, and this had happened before. I took the battery out and tried to turn it back on. I see HTC splash screen pop up, and that's all I get. I've tried turning it on whilst plugged in charging, and still nothing. It's all fully charged. I've tried turning it on whilst holding the volume down button and it vibrates 3 times and still nothing.
Thanks for any help!
can you still go to bootloader then recovery?
Hold the power button and volume up to get into bootloader, then select recovery. Try to clear cache and davik cache then restart. If its wont work u should freshly reinstall.
I was in your case when using Jellytime R11...my phone started and freezed at boot screen. No matter how manytimes I removed the battery n restarted the phone just stood still. All I can do is go to recovery...

I've just tried that, and unfortunately it didn't work. When I do that the phone vibrates 3 times, and the orange LED flashes, and has been flashing for around 5 minutes now. The screen also doesn't turn on at any point.
Thanks for the help!

Thanks, I've looked around and can't find a tutorial on how to do that on a Desire HD. Do you know of one, or a good generic tutorial I could follow?
Thanks again.
Take the Sim SDCard Out as well as battery. Wait a few minutes then only replace the battery back and see if it fully boots If it does then power down the phone pull the battery wait again a few minutes then boot with the VOL DOWN key and then factory reset it.
With this done its one more battery pull and boot again it should be fine after that.

Unfortunately that didn't work. I'm not sure if this is of any help, but when booting normally, almost immediately after the white HTC splash screen, the screen flashes blue for half a second.
Thanks for the help!
No clue how I've done it, but I've been pressing button for the last 10 minutes and managed to get in to what I believe is the bootloader? It's a white screen with Fastboot, Recovery, Factory Reset etc and the options. What shall I do from here?
I wiped the cache, and booted and then it froze saying "Android is upgrading, starting apps"
This step takes a while. But if you could get into the bootloader which is Fastboot Recovery and Factory reset you could of choose Factory Reset to see if that fixed the issue.
yup, since you can now access your bootloader, from the recovery just flash your rom, remember to do full wipe first, data, cache and dalvik cache...

What happened before this?
Did someone try doing something like down grading?
Your symptoms sound like someone tried to flash a froyo ruu on a device that had gingerbread on it which means your bootloader is possibly messed.

the 1 post is the original and current problem..
Is your bootloader unlocked? Is it S-Off? Did you flash a custom ROM? Did you wipe /system? What exactly did you do to get it into that state?

Im not really sure if the bootloader is unlocked since I didnt use this phone before, but pressing power button + vol- doesnt do anything, my friend who is the owner said that the phone was rooted he wiped everything in the system options, after that the phone did not start anymore and got the problems mentioned before
He might of formated something for the phone to boot up properly, tryed flashing ruu or ADB(ANDROID DEVICE BRIDGE)

Hi All,
One of my friend got M8 and one fine day phone went to bootloop automatically and then he rebooted the phone into bootloader and did a sideload of custom rom/may be stock back (he don't know actually) but he said he flashed TWRP. Now after flasing the ROM the phone never started.
Issue is now the computer also did't recognise the device. If I plugin into the wall charges sometimes orange LED glows and sometime not.
It also not booting/ Not going to bootloader. Please help me to fix the phone as it's a imported version from US and indian service center will not help this.
Many thanks in advance,
Mahesh
Did you try volume UP and power until the 3 soft keys stop flashing? That is the equivalent of a battery pull. After the soft keys stop flashing then try to boot to recovery or bootloader. I haven't used ADB Sideload, but I would try using the microSD card to flash a new ROM.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
i suppose you tried volume up and power together?
Yeah you'll have to get an SD card and then put a ROM on the SD card with an adapter from your computer...hold down both volume keys and power button for 10 seconds and then hold down vol down and power right after and go to recovery, wipe and flash

Odd how it starts bootlooping so you automatically install TWRP and flash a rom and don't think 'why was it bootlooping in the first place?'. Now you voided the warranty
Sorry bud. It's bricked.

Did he tried htc one m8 toolkit? It has options to push to the device command to reboot, or enter recovery.

It just uses adb, which will not work in his phone in this state. Toolkits are never a good idea for troubleshooting.

Just one question, are you having a bootloop or the device wont power on at all? Do you feel any vibration while holding Power+VolDown?
Did you unlock your bootloader before this happened? If you didnt, you can still return it...

It's not powering up at all. No vibrations. As its a Developer edition so bootloader was factory unlocked.

I was attempting to port SlimRom for the Desire 816, and I stupidly forgot that the one m7 had a different screen size. As a result, the phone screen doesn't work. I attempted to reboot into recovery, except for that you need a complete off and volume complete off and volume + down. with no screen, all I can do is reboot. adb is no help either. Please Help me!:crying:

Once you see it power off let go of all the keys then quickly press Volume Down+Power and it will allow you to get into the bootloader. You can then proceed to the recovery from there.

Iv tried but it doesn't seem to work. I was able to drain the battery so it might work now
Update: I fixed it, the only way was to wait for battery to drain and then go into recovery...
I tried to root my HTC Desire 820. While rooting it with supersu i checked reboot system instead of wipe cache/delvik (which is probably why it wasn't detected as rooted). I noticed it, so I went back in, and while choosing .zip directory i went away for ~5mins and now my phone doesn't boot (LED doesn't blink either); battery is well over 80% and charging. What should I do?

Well if I had to guess I'd say it's a screensaver because I didn't really press anything; I can't access it in anyway, unless there is a special type of button combination?

Try holding power and VOL+ together for some times. It should then bring up the HTC boot screen. Then the device should start boot normally again.

You are welcomed?.
For most of the Android device that has a non-removable battery (not by screws), VOL+ and Power button is a universal trick to force reboot/shutdown your device.
